Saying God do not exist is like saying, you do not exist. Because you are actually the evidence of God's existence simply because you have faith in him.

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

When Christ was crucified, you were crucified with him, probably you were actually there at the point of his crucifixion, and you are still living till today though you had died several times. And you will continue to live in that manner forever and ever.

Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Mark the statement CHRIST LIVETH IN ME

God lives in you.,
Your body is his temple.

You don't need any other temple but your body.
You don't need any other prophet but you and God. You are the prophet for yourself.

If that is so, why then most times do we find ourselves running after pastors?
It happens because we are ignorant of this fact.

The day we know, that will just make the difference, from that point we will become fulfilled believers.

Your success in your career and ambition is absolutely dependent on you looking inwardly and remain focus on doing what you know how to do best.

All Power is from Within.

Thank you for the reminder OP.

Can the actions of others around you cause a negative impact on your very existence?

I'm asking because i think success doesn't just translate to material possessions only but the ability to maintain peace with other intelligent beings whose actions can affect you negatively.

I'm afraid, they can cause a negative impact on your very existence and there is nothing anyone can do about that.
The solution to it will depend on how the society breeds individuals with better mind-sets.
The more of such people we have in our society the better

Your first highlighted comment shows a sign of hopelessness but the second shows there is something we can do.

However what will you say about an organized people aiming at achieving your second highlighted comment?

Do you think such an organization is rendering a humanitarian service to our world today or you will condemn their service all together due to some of their members still going through a rehabilitation process in their midst?

MaxInDHouse:

However what will you say about an organized people aiming at achieving your second highlighted comment?

are there any society anywhere dominated by such organized people?

What country or state is that, is it the kingdom hall or watchtower society or state or country?
mention it let's see if they have achieved a better society for themselves so far.

there is no amount of humanitarian service that can replace the roles of the family and child upbringing towards a better society

This is where most of you get things wrong.
The mindset is what you mentioned earlier and the society in which we live gives everyone freedom of EXPRESSION so you can't expect any society to be DOMINATED by people who wants to change their own mindset because it's a thing of PERSONAL decision not what could be imposed on others around you.

paxonel:

What we have today is produced by the families around us so if you want to trust the families to do this job then i'm sorry there can never be a peace loving environment because most families just wish their son or daughter gets rich at all cost.
You have said that people need to have a change of mindset:

paxonel:

The solution to it will depend on how the society breeds individuals with better mind-sets.The more of such people we have in our society the better

And that is what i'm telling you right now that an organized people are working round the globe to help honest hearted and sincere individuals to make the needed changes.
They can't force anyone because it's a matter of the HEART not the EYE where people are forced to do something whereas they haven't changed in their HEARTS!

MaxInDHouse:

This is where most of you get things wrong.

freedom of expression, yes!
But definitely, not in every aspect.

You can't go about stepping on other people's toes simply because you have freedom of expression. There are laws guiding everyone on this.
Only that, third-world countries like those in Africa do not adequately enforce these laws and there are lawlessness in their societies, hence the question you asked earlier, "Can the actions of others around you cause a negative impact on your very existence" ?

so you can't expect any society to be DOMINATED by people who wants to change their own mindset because it's a thing of PERSONAL decision not what could be imposed on others around you.

Wrong!

Go to developed nations in Europe, America ,UAE and Australia etc, sanity was imposed in their societies by virtue of enforcing laws, a long time ago. That's why these nations have more than 90% rate of literacy among their population, hence they are developed today.

Now,, in your watchtower so-called organized group. You can't prove that you have anything different from otherwise.
Like any other religious group you still have unlearned people among you, though it's normal.
So, one may ask, what is really organize about the group that other religious groups do not have?
Absolutely nothing!

What we have today is produced by the families around us so if you want to trust the families to do this job then i'm sorry there can never be a peace loving environment because most families just wish their son or daughter gets rich at all cost.

True!

That is only because our society is still an evolving society in terms of literacy.
Infact, most of our parents and grandparents who thought us did so to the best of their traditional knowledge without real formal education.

But that wasn't the case in most developed nations

And that is what i'm telling you right now that an organized people are working round the globe to help honest hearted and sincere individuals to make the needed changes.
They can't force anyone because it's a matter of the HEART not the EYE where people are forced to do something whereas they haven't changed in their HEARTS!

every other religious groups are doing the same as well. But that wasn't the way ideal societies were actualized.
It was the effort of parents and grandparents of these societies that encouraged formal and informal education of their wards who later grow up to become political leaders, socialists and capitslists who influenced a better society through development and enforcement of effective laws and constitution

You make me laugh in Urhobo!

So what you're saying now is that there are countries where people aren't depending on weapon carriers to force them into doing what is right shey?

Ọmọ the mindset totally differ from what you're saying here, there is no country on this planet where you won't find armed robbers and hired Killers because most people believe in themselves but there is an organization that's uprooting the use of force and weapons in the hearts of their members because they believe in God.
So who are the armed robbers and hired Killers if not those that believe in using weapons to settle disputes?
This is not about first, second or third world it's about what an organized people can do to uproot the use of force and weapons in the hearts of their members, if that's what all other religions are doing the world will no longer spend billions of dollars on weapons and training people for war! Isaiah 2:2-4

Peddling his lies and manipulations as usual. Paxonel stated........

What country or state is that, is it the kingdom hall or watchtower society or state or country? mention it let's see if they have achieved a better society for themselves so far.

Rather than respond to this since you want to market your religious organization as usual, you cut that aspect off knowing your lies and manipulations will be exposed for what it is

This is not about first, second or third world it's about what an organized people can do to uproot the use of force and weapons in the hearts of their members, if that's what all other religions are doing the world will no longer spend billions of dollars on weapons and training people for war! Isaiah 2:2-4

And members of your religious organization still kills one another without weapons and force of weapons Those members of your religious organization caught in such acts of murder including child abuse.

Your religious organization always wants the world to see that you don't have Sunday schools institutions where children are raised which leads to abuse of children and keeps arguing that the child abuse in their midst is not an Institutional abuse issues yet you are here arguing against this from paxonel.....

Definitely? No their ratio is 1: over 1000 people in the society and they have zero presence in some part of the world.

What country or state is that, is it the kingdom hall or watchtower society or state or country?

Obviously he is about watchtower and whatever is associated with it. That he had to boycott that aspect of your question to advance his lies and manipulations is laughable .

there is no amount of humanitarian service that can replace the roles of the family and child upbringing towards a better society

The liar and manipulator wants you to believe otherwise yet his religious publications emphasis the same thing in the image below
