The God I witness about is Jehovah
Then why not say that in the OP? People believe in other Gods.

The God I witness about is Jehovah
Hi Jay, primarily to get people to think about what they might be losing out on if He exists. Perhaps then they might seek Him to a greater degree.
What difference does that make to the point of the thread? For that matter, what difference does that make, to you?
But! What if He does?
Then you might be in major trouble, heading towards Hell ... if "He" = the god of the Bible
Good to hear that you know for sure that you are not in major troubleActually quite the opposite sir.
He didn't maam. Those things are a result of sin. However, as sure as He exists, soon this prophecy will be fulfilled:
(Revelation 21:3, 4) . . .I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
(Isaiah 33:24) . . .And no resident will say: “I am sick.. . .
I am sure you look forward to that time.
Yes, I know. But it could be that there is another God. Or, better, a goddess, right?The God I witness for is Jehovah. He is referred to in the masculine gender.
Why do you think we would have any responsibility to God, if God exists? Most human definitions and conceptions of God have God holding all the power, and all the control. So it stands to reason that God would shoulder all the responsibility, then.I am trying to get individuals to think about their responsibilities toward Him, if He does exist.
Adam and Eve sinned for them.And i am sure he does not exist, there is no evidence either way just as there is no evidence for pink unicorns.
And pray tell how an innocent child can be so sinful as to be struck down dead with leukaemia? Who sinned so badly that a mosquito evolved to kill 10% of all humanity?

IMO:Yes, I know. But it could be that there is another God. Or, better, a goddess, right?
Kinda chilly here today. Only going to get up to 77.Amen to that sir! Enjoy the weather there sir, 14 degrees here in central Illinois at this time.
Simple as this Israel:
(Joshua 24:15) . . .if it seems bad to you to serve Jehovah, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve, whether the gods that your forefathers served on the other side of the River or the gods of the Amʹor·ites in whose land you are dwelling. But as for me and my household, we will serve Jehovah.”
Is that a no-brainer?
Is one coincidental "hit" enough to say that the Bible is reliable?
Should we assume that someone who wom the lottery once is better at picking lottery numbers than everyone else?
I mean, if we go by the "justified true belief" idea of knowledge (which I recognize has its problems), the mere fact that a claim happens to be true doesn't necessarily mean it was justified, so it isn't necessarily knowledge.
Ah so god is male is it? No female partner? Very strange.Not at all. Jehovah is referred to in the masculine gender
Yes, I know. But it could be that there is another God. Or, better, a goddess, right?

The Bible doesn't just describe God; it also describes:Let me clarify. Since the OP is a JW, I am referring to the biblical God here. If the Biblical God is true then everything in the Bible is true.
If only 90% of what the Bible says about God is true, then the true God is no longer the Biblical God IMO.
That wasn't my point, but I appreciate the effort.I agree with you that just because someone gets it right that there is a True God, does not mean that everything else they claim about that God is true.
What does Jehovah require that you disagree with?
I hope it is not true what you say here, that would be a very negative attitude (getting pleasure mocking something the other is really serious about)they intend to mock theism and get some pleasure out of it.
I like this one. Never go easy on claims others make about God, and therefore impose them on you, unless they give you proper proofI agree with you that just because someone gets it right that there is a True God, does not mean that everything else they claim about that God is true.
For myself it makes no sense that "If the Biblical God is true then everything in the Bible is true". But you talk about JW specifically here, so I guess that JW believe that "If the Biblical God is true then everything in the Bible is true"Let me clarify. Since the OP is a JW, I am referring to the biblical God here. If the Biblical God is true then everything in the Bible is true. If only 90% of what the Bible says about God is true, then the true God is no longer the Biblical God IMO.
And what if he doesn't? Billions of heartfelt prayers, every single day, all totally useless.But! What if He does?
