Guest guest Posted April 16, 2000 Report Share Posted April 16, 2000 I am by no means a religious type person, but I do delve into theology now and again (I'm a recovering RA Anyhow, it just occurred to me that a religious person might explain the bad things/good people debate in this way: if xtians truly believe that heaven is their reward, then God is actually doing them a favor by taking their life away. Oh, BTW, don't be getting the JWs confused with the LDSs. LDSs have their own book, and beliefs seperate from the Bible. JWs actually use the Bible, and follow it in their own understanding (my father once said that they changed a line or two somewhere though in their translation/version). Just curious, I had a " revelation " of sorts after my surgery last year based on the biblical passage, " I am that I am. " I take this to mean that I am is God. Meaning to me, at least, that God is inside us. (Unfortunately, in my delusional mind I extended it to mean that I was God.) I understand this is a pretty strong New Age belief (which is ironic because socalled New Age, is actually very Old Age). 'K, I'll stop now.
