What is the true faith? I am a Jehovah's Witness.

To begin this round I will clarify some things for the benefit of Con and the audience. The time and space continuum is a mathematical model that combines space and time into a single idea, the universe. What ever caused the universe to exist, therefore, could not have required time or space. Jehovah was not limited by time because he created it; he had no beginning or end. He was not limited by physical space either because he is spiritual. In addition to the physical universe, there is also heaven, the spiritual dimension where Jehovah and the angels are. "How much should one do "will of my father" in order to enter heaven on earth?" In the Bible there are principles that, because of inherited sin, we can not keep perfectly, but can still be kept. Fornication, for instance. We may have some negative thoughts because of imperfection, but we can still keep the principle. We must strive to do God's will to the best of our abilities to the end, and then we will be saved, like Matthew 24:13 says. "in order for humans to be immortal, many laws of nature have to be changed." Humans will not be immortal, but they will not have to die. For instance, because of our perfection and God"s protection, nobody will die from age, disease, or unforeseen events. In order for this to happen, all God has to do, and will do, is remove imperfection. "you contradicted yourself, by saying we will not be more intelligent but will learn faster." How exactly did I contradict myself? You could have a lower IQ (Intelligence Quotient or how fast you learn) and still know more than someone with a higher IQ. Our intelligence will never be absolutely perfect, because absolute perfection is a quality only Jehovah has. Everything else has a relative perfection that has to do with his purpose for his creation. The moment we become perfect we will not become all-knowing or even a little bit more intelligent. Our intelligence quotient will increase, so we will learn things faster. But before gaining any new knowledge, we have to seek for it. And we will never reach absolute knowledge. That"s a good thing. We will not be bored as there will be new things to discover, plenty to learn about our creator and his creation. "I never claimed that unicorns exist, or anything like that." Yes you did, and I explained pretty clearly. Reread my explanation from the previous round. "atheism is not made up by humans, it is default position they are in when they are born." Atheism is the faith that there is no God, and one is not born with any faith. One is born with lack of knowledge, and accepts the faith he is surrounded by, usually until considering new evidence that suggests another truth. " I do not claim that some form of deity doesn't exist, I claim that the way Jehovah is described in the bible doesn't make sense." What biblical description of Jehovah doesn't make sense? "Jehovah did not wish for murder, rape, hunger and diseases to stop (yet)." I thought you were very familiar with Jehovah"s Witnesses! I will give a brief answer and provide a link with a more detailed answer for the benefit of the audience. First of all, it is important to understand God does not cause the suffering in the world. Job 34:10 - "So listen to me, you men of understanding:It is unthinkable for the true God to act wickedly, for the Almighty to do wrong!" Why do we suffer? The Bible clearly states: "The whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one." (1 John 5:19). A second reason why there is so much suffering is that mankind has been imperfect and sinful ever since the rebellion in the garden of Eden. Sinful humans tend to struggle for dominance, and this results in wars, oppression, and suffering. (Ecclesiastes 4:1). A third reason for suffering is "time and unforeseen occurrence." (Ecclesiastes 9:11). In a world without Jehovah as a protective Ruler, people may suffer because they happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. By calling God a liar and saying that He withholds good from His subjects, Satan questioned Jehovah"s right to rule. (Genesis 3:2-5). Consider two things that Jehovah has determined not to do. First, he has not stopped Satan and those who side with him from trying to prove that they are right. Allowing time to pass has thus been necessary. In the thousands of years of human history, mankind has been able to try every form of self-rule, or human government. Mankind has made some advances in science and other fields, but injustice, poverty, crime, and war have grown ever worse. Human rule has now been shown to be a failure. Second, Jehovah has not helped Satan to rule this world. If God were to prevent horrible crimes, for instance, would he not, in effect, be supporting the case of the rebels? Would God not be making people think that perhaps humans can govern themselves without disastrous results? Jehovah will use his Son, the Ruler of the Messianic Kingdom, to end all human suffering and to undo its effects. (1 John 3:8). http://www.jw.org... To conclude, I will explain why the Jews rejected the Messiah. The common belief among the Jews in those days was that the Messiah would come and liberate them from the oppressive Roman yoke and restore the earthly kingdom of Israel. Before Jesus began his ministry, a number of charismatic leaders arose and advocated violent resistance to the existing political rule. What these men did likely influenced the people"s expectations of the Messiah. Jesus stood in stark contrast to such false Messiahs. He did not promote violence but taught his listeners to love their enemies and to be submissive to the authorities. He rejected the people"s efforts to make him a king. Instead, he taught that his kingdom was to be "no part of this world." Still, preconceived ideas about the Messiah exerted a very strong influence on the people. Upon entering Jerusalem shortly before Passover 33 C.E., Jesus was welcomed by enthusiastic crowds hailing him as King. How quickly the situation changed! Within the week, Jesus was arrested and executed. After Jesus" death, two of his disciples lamented: "We were hoping that this man was the one destined to deliver Israel." Even when the resurrected Jesus appeared to his disciples, the idea that the Messiah would establish an earthly kingdom still lingered. They asked: "Lord, are you restoring the kingdom to Israel at this time?" Clearly, mistaken expectations about the Messiah were deeply entrenched in the hearts and minds of Jesus" listeners. After Jesus" ascension to heaven and the outpouring of the holy spirit, his disciples came to understand clearly that the Messiah would rule as a heavenly King. The apostles Peter and John boldly preached about Jesus" resurrection and gave evidence of God"s backing by performing miracles themselves. ands in Jerusalem responded and became believers. This, however, did not sit well with the Jewish authorities. Just as they had opposed Jesus, they now opposed his apostles and disciples. By the time Jesus came to earth, Jewish religious thinking and practices had strayed far from what was taught in the inspired Scriptures. The religious leaders of the day (the Sadducees, Pharisees, and scribes) upheld man-made traditions, putting them ahead of God"s written Word. Time and again they accused Jesus of breaking the Law because he performed miraculous cures on the Sabbath. By forcefully refuting their unscriptural teachings, Jesus challenged both their authority and their claims of having an approved standing with God. By contrast, Jesus came from a humble background and lacked their formal religious education. No wonder it was so difficult for such proud men to acknowledge Jesus as the Messiah! Such confrontations so enraged them that they "took counsel against [Jesus] that they might destroy him." How, though, could the religious leaders explain away Jesus" ability to perform miracles? They did not deny that the miracles occurred. Instead, they blasphemously tried to undermine faith in Jesus by attributing his power to Satan, saying: "This fellow does not expel the demons except by means of Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons." There was another deep-seated reason for their adamant refusal to acknowledge Jesus as the Messiah. After Jesus resurrected Lazarus, leaders of the various religious factions consulted together and said: "What are we to do, because this man performs many signs? If we let him alone this way, they will all put faith in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation." For fear of losing their power and position, the religious leaders conspired to kill both Jesus and Lazarus! Well, I have addressed all of the "flaws" Con claims Jehovah's Witnesses to have. Hebrews 3:4 - "For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything." Simple, but powerful. This is simply what we observe. Anyone who claims it was any different with the universe and life is going against what we observe; what the evidence REALLY shows, and is therefore expected to give evidence. I still await for a valid answer to my challenge.
