"Yesterday I was approached by a Jehovah witness who gave me a QR code and link to their websites. He told me about Yahweh, his God. Do you think Jesus exists? Is there a God? " The sheer enthusiasm of Jehovah's Witnesses is certainly....... noteworthy! As for the existence of God or Jesus, that's a deeply personal question that each individual must grapple with. For me, it's not about proving or disproving, but about accepting and exploring the many wonders of creation. The old hymn puts it beautifully:- 'Oh Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder Consider all the works Thy hands have made, I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy pow’r thru-out the universe displayed!' It's a sentiment that inspires the mind to ponder the mysteries of the universe and our place within it. Whether or not one believes in a higher power, the natural world is undeniably awe-inspiring, posing questions about the origins of creation and inviting us to reflect on our own spirituality, earthly existence and mortality. | |||

"Yesterday I was approached by a Jehovah witness who gave me a QR code and link to their websites. He told me about Yahweh, his God. Do you think Jesus exists? Is there a God? " Hey yo yo... Depends what you believe... For instance the Dalai Lama was an important figure of the Gelug tradition, dominant buddism in Central Tibet, but his religious authority went beyond sectarian boundaries, representing buddhist values and traditions not tied to a specific school so quiet important. I mean some people didn't believe that or the holiness of that... Its all silly nonsense... And yet, would you believe the Panchen Lama - the next in line..., as recognised and announced by the 14th Dalai Lama on 14 May 1995. Was, three days later, on 17 May, at six-years-old Panchen Lama was forcibly disappeared by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) so I assume they believe quite strongly? All about perspective.i suppose... | |||

"Anti gay and anti bi and anti sex before marriage and patriarchal and they shun their own if they choose not to follow the religion. Don’t give them the time of day. On the plus side they don’t smoke and don’t swear. " Not totally true. I used to get two JWs in the pub. Must admit I hated them coming in and not liked by other customers. Both smoked [pre smoking ban] and drank copious amounts of beer and spirits. Plus I had to pull them up about their language a few times. | |||

"Last time they bothered me, I told another member of the local chapter - hadn't known he was one - and he said "They're not supposed to do that. I'll tell them not to." As long as I lived there, I never saw them again. My feeling is if you read the Bible, the evidence for God is pretty thin, unless you belong to a specific Middle Eastern tribe. It's a lot stronger if you look up on a starry night. But, ultimately, does it matter?" Ultimately…it might, if you believe that sort of thing | |||

"not demeaning your faith but what is it that your faith gives you strength and comfort on fabguys?" Morning. Obviously i dont get no strength from being on fab. I was on here for years under my old username - nwsubalan - and because i became closer to the Lord i changed my whole life. I dont meet guys anymore but i joined again last year just for the forums tbh, and to chat to old friends. i understand there are better forums to chat, but its hard to totally change your lifestyle 100% overnight. I am also on the sister site with my wife, and again we are trying to cool that, but we have some different views at the moment My life has changed completly in the past 3 or 4 years, and i feel im in a much better place. I have no worries at all in my life, and i trust the Lord every day now I understand some will think this comical and ill get some guys who chose to make fun, ive no problem with that at all. I was down at the bottom of the pile, and my life is so much better now with my faith | |||

"No there is no God " All y’all are quite wrong! An all y’all should hail the Great Flying Spaghetti Monster, whose noodly appendages stir the cosmos like a divine ladle in the pot of creation! It was She who boiled the universe to al dente perfection, seasoned it with starlight, and sprinkled (Vegetarian Society-approved not-quite) parmesan across the Milky Way. Let skeptics doubt, but we, the faithful Pastafarians, know the truth: the warmth we feel in our souls is not mere love or purpose—it’s the eternal simmer of His holy marinara. R’Amen! | |||

"I believe there is a god but I don't think that everything that was written in the bible was true. Reason that I believe it is because I've seen a mix of people who have gone and come back and talk about the afterlife and I have myself (not passed) but seen jesus and felt utterly calm after. I don't believe that everything that is written in the bible is true to the word. I think a lot of it was also personal opinions, homophobia, whatever they felt like writing. How do we know that there weren't people who disagreed with what Jesus said? For all we know, Jesus could have turned around and said that everyone should love everyone and that men can love men. We can all inherit the kingdom of god " Good to hear a sensible and reasonable comment on this subject, About time some realised the bible is not a book, Its a series of writings from individuals all with different views. Get a story break in your town or city and look at the national papers. Same story, different Journalist.I dont believe you will find our Lord by just entering a church or reading the bible. That journey you do on your own. Or not. Thats the choice he gave us all. | |||

"Yahweh is the Jewish god. What on earth are they on about? "Yahweh is garnered from the tetragrammaton which is YHWH. As Hebrew was written with no vowels, translators fille in the gaps. We actually have no idea how it was originally pronounced. Jehovah is merely a corruption of the word. The gods are one and the same. Remember, the Jews follow what we call the old testament, correctly called the Hebrew Scriptures. But not the New Testament (Christian Greek Scriptures). By the way, I'm Atheist. But I was brought up in that awful religion. Fortunately I managed to throw off the brainwashing, which is what all religion is. | |||

Obviously it's easier to cling to opinions, beliefs and a false reality than it is to accept the truth, it's scary. | |||

Your lord fails to act because it too has no consciousness or control, the difference being it doesn’t exist, cancer does. Also if we assume for the sake of argument that a god (many gods?) exist…. Then it did act, by giving these people cancer, how nice, that is if we assume it could act to take it away. I only use the cancer as a tool in my reasoning, I do not seek to upset or belittle the pain it can cause and I sincerely wish your friends well during what time they have left. | |||

Whatever reason they fabricate, in the eyes of our Lord it's wrong. Full stop"The Church of England went round murdering papists in England and France under the orders of Henry VIII. We're they not Christians? This practiced continued under Edward VII until Mary acceded to the throne, turned the country Catholic once more and went round having protestants murdered. Incidentally around this time there is wholesale sectarian slaughter going on amongst Christians in Central Europe, particularly Germany. Mary inherits her nickname bloody Mary, where the drink comes from, for all the killings of prods, but when Elizabeth takes England back to Anglicanism and has all the catholics killed, way more brutally than her half sister did, yet she got the nickname Good Queen Bess. I could go on about christinity and the inherent violence acccompanying it, but I'll just say this... have you ever been to Northern Ireland? | |||
