Who is the True God?

Let consider firstly what the scriptures says about him;

"May people know that you whose name is Jehovah you alone are the most high over all the earth."
Psalms 83:18

" Know that Jehovah is God. He is the one who made us and we belong to him."
Psalms 100:3

" I am Jehovah that is my Name; I give my glory to no one else, nor my praise to heaven images."
Isaiah 42:8

" Everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved."
Romans 10:13

"Of course, every house is constructed by someone but the one who constructed all things is God".
Hebrews 3:4

" Lift up your eyes to heaven and see, who has created these things?
It is the one who brings out their army by number; he calls them all by name. Because of his vast dynamic energy and his awe-inspiring power not one of them is missing".
Isaiah 40:26

He has a son whose name is Jesus.
John 1:14. Mathew 16:16. Revelation 3:14. Colosians1:13. Proverbs 18:22

Is God the cause of our problem? Or is he even aware of our predicament?
Is sufferings punishment from God?
Why did he create us ?

You may read more on this topic and many more on www.jw.org

First of all let consider what the scriptures says about this;

From everlasting to everlasting he is God.
Psalms 90:1,2

Jehovah is a God of all eternity.
Isaiah 40:28

He existed for all eternity.
Jud 25

He is the King of eternity.
1 Timothy 1:17

He will always exist in the future.
Revelation 1:8

This means that God has always existed, no matter how far back in time we can gaze.

He has no beginning and will have no end. He always exist.

This his eternal existence is the attributes of the almighty.

But, Why do we find this idea difficult to grasp?

Is because our limited life span give us a completely different concept of time from that of Jehovah God.

Because he is eternal, to him a to thousand years are like a day.

Why some drop out

(1). Academic struggle

In some cases losing the battle against failing grades.

(2). Apathy

Some sees no value in what they are learning.

(3). Economic hardship

Some due to responsibilities, they see the need to work to help support their family.

Count The Cost

'The shrewd one ponders each step'. Proverbs 14:15

If you are considering dropping out of school, be sure to count the cost.

Ask yourself;

1. How will dropping out affect future job opportunity?

Think about having to get a job and then possibly providing for the family one day. How can you do if most employers require at least a high school certificate?

2. How will dropping out affect my ability to deal with hardship?

School prepares you for life in the future, the people you meet, the temptation you encounter and the work you do will be similar to what you faced in school.

3. How will dropping out affect my life skills?

School may seem impractical now but later you think, "I'm glad I paid attention in mathematics" for example.


A Better Approach
1. Get help

'There is many success through many adviser'. Proverbs 11:14

If your grades are slipping reach out to a parent, a teacher, a counselor,a guidance or another trusted adult for tips on how to improve


2. Look at bigger picture

'Better is the end of a matter than its beginning' Ecclesiastes 7:8

When you finish school, you will have acquired qualities and skills that goes beyond the subject you were taught e.g the way you handled stress at school prepares you for the challenges you will face when you graduate.

Consider your Options

' All who are hasty surely heads for poverty' Proverbs 21:5.

Don't be quick to decide that dropping out is the only choice.

Conclusion
Finish school and you will be prepared for the responsibilities of adulthood.

You may asked;
How can I succeed in school?
How can I finished my homework?
How can I get along with my teacher?
What if am failing at school?

MaxInDHouse:
You've done the right thing my brother!
In the past many of our brothers have tried to reason with them on what the Bible really teach but instead of listening calmly this misinformed Churchgoers call us names, abuse, insult and sometimes even curse us for answering them from our hearts.
I love one thing about Jehovah's organization, the group is progressing in knowledge as a global family {Proverbs 4:18} and our line of thought is one! John 17:22; 1Corinthians 1:10
So if they're no longer sure of what they bank on to criticize us in the past that's their cup of coffee, we have no doubt about what we learned from our own leaders! Hebrews 17:7, 17

I pray you gain wisdom. You know you can't prove it, but you try to convince everyone that your faith is the only one that matters. You put your church's front page there whenever you can't prove something. May you be blessed with wisdom.

As I previously stated, I respect your faith. Learn to respect others, including atheists - it's called tolerance.

Get a balance and satisfying answers from the Bible about Jesus story of Lazarus and the poor on www.jw.org

PeaceJoyLove:
There is one FACT here: we all say what we are taught about life after death.

Personally, I dislike the concept of hell and find it unappealing. I may have written about its existence in the past, but I have given it much thought. I'm just saying... I tend to agree with those who claim there is no hell. But I'm not going to say there's no hell because they don't know either.

We're all relying on faith in this journey, but believe me when I say that losing a best friend, cousin, sibling, or other relative is heartbreaking, let alone the thought that the person is going to hell. Please, I'm not sure how it sounds. It just doesn't make sense that a merciful God would send people to hell, where they would burn for eternity. It doesn't sound like God at all. I understand the story of the rich man and Lazarus, but is it true or merely a parable?

Ok. Instead of arguing blindly, someone should explain why the rich man's story is exactly what Jesus said it is, or if it is just a parable. Please give me reasons with proofs (true logical proofs), and please don't just tell me to believe your words or what you've been taught.

Here's what the Bible says about the Dead

(1) When pronouncing sentence upon Adam God said ' Dust you are and to dust you will return'.
Genesis 3:19

(2) When a person dies he ' goes back to the ground; in that day his thoughts got perished'.
Psalms 146:4

(3) The Dead are unconscious.
The Dead knows nothing. There is no pursuit, no plans, no knowledge or intelligence within the grave.
Ezekiel 9:5,10

(4) Jesus likened dead to sleep.
John 11:11

(5) The soul can die.
The soul that is sining - it itself will die.
Ezekiel 18:4

Leviticus 21:1 and Numbers 6:6 talks about a dead soul.

When Elijah was distressed he began to ask that his soul might die.
1 King 19:4

Jonah asked that his soul might die.
Jonah 4:8.

The Bible says that ' the wages of sin is death.
Romans 6:23

So punishment for any sin a person committed during his or her lifetime, when he or she dies he or she automatically received it.

There's no other place to receive another punishment because once he dies he is unconscious hence can't feel pain, just like during a deep sleep.

Any question about this ?

So, how does one become part of the kingdom?

God's kingdom is a heavenly kingdom that will replace all human Government. Daniel 2:44
2Thessalonians 1 : 6-8

It's a real government with all characteristic.

It's made up of the following :

(1) Seat of Power

Heaven is the seat of power of God's kingdom.

Jehovah God appointed Jesus Christ his son as the king of his kingdom.

Jesus apostles were the first set of people that God choose from Earth that will rule with Jesus.
John 14:1-3, Corinthians 15: 42-44

(5) Subject

All others Christian on Earth will become citizens of God's kingdom. Psalms 37:29

(6) Constitution ( Degree)

Government make laws that are supposed to benefit and protect their citizens.
God's kingdom too has Superior Laws that it's citizens most follow.
Bible contains the law of the Kingdom.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11

What will God's kingdom Accomplish?

(1) Restoring Peace and justice to the earth

Jesus the King of God's kingdom, will destroy wicked people and government at the war of Armageddon.
Revelation 16 :14, 16

At that time Psalms 37: 10 will be fulfilled.

(2) The righteous will possessed the earth .
Psalms 37:29

(3) End of Human government

'Man has dominated man to his harm' . Ecclessiates 8: 9.

So for this reason and many more, God's kingdom will replace human rulership. Daniel 2: 44

There are two hope for all Humans that is either living forever here on Earth under God's kingdom rulership or Going to Heaven to rule with Jesus over the inhabitants of the earth.

They many live triggered questions that the Bible provides satisfying answers to , do well to explore the world most translated and visited religious website - WWW.JW.ORG



A world without sufferings, corruption, Deaths, Hatred, poverty, Unemployment and sickness is near !!!

Be alert !!!

Vote for God's kingdom now !!!

No doubt there are some positive results like higher performance academically, boast of morale , hard work when parents mount pressure on their children.

Some parents do so by comparing them with their mate, failing to encourage and commend them for their little best which is not helping.

In our society today we witness young people going into illegal ways of making money , there's certain level of blames that can be accredited to their parents.

Some of the effect of parents high expectations from their children that I have witnessed in my locality includes ;
- Children marrying the wrong person due to pressure from parents because all their mate are all married

- Young people engaging in some forms of rituals , fraudulent activities, and all sorts of evil act to make money

For this reason I suggest parents should be enlighten on this, it's devastating our society today
