They never would try and sell me on there religion. I always respected her dad for that. But because he would never try and sell me, my curiosity was always peaked and I was always asking questions. Learned a lot about a lot.I dated this girl for 2 1/2 years.
I might not personally agree with their religion, but I did show all Jehovah's Witnesses partitioners and my girlfriends parents the utmost respect. Right or wrong(im not one to say or judge) they were good people always doing charitable things, spreading the word of god(as does the bible says) and just being all around good people. I wish there were more people like that on this Earth.
Lastly at the end of the day no matter how hokey a particular religion may seem from the outside they all do the same basic thing. And that is teach their partitioners right from wrong, be kind to others and as a reward, it gives people hope for some kind of after life.
There is nothing wrong with that.  |
Great response, man.
Here's my
However, not all Christians believe in 'doing good' to get a 'reward'. Some believe that faith in Christ alone, not one's own good works, frees one from the penalty of death (the wages of sin) and starts the process of changing one's attitude and nature so they COULD (not through their own power) follow Christ's commandments. In essence, Christ, through you, is following his own commandments and leading you to a better life because you couldn't do it on your own.
