How can you walk blind?Im already out. I simply walk by faith not sight. God came to restore mankind from His fallen state. If only mankind would follow Him, there would be peace, joy, and love.
The Mormons and the JW's say the same thing, that doesn't preclude that they are seeing by some other worldly process. What it does preclude is that faith is synonymous with personal revelation, that anyone can claim divine authority by experience alone.Im not blind, God's Spirit gives me sight. I was blind but now i see. I see Gods mercy and love, and i see purpose for my life. In the Lord i am complete.
I know nothing of JW. I follow the scriptures and don't judge anyone's salvation. I hope and pray for all people to be saved.The Mormons and the JW's say the same thing, that doesn't preclude that they are seeing by some other worldly process.

This should not be, solely because faith based analysis of any spiritual concept can not be proven nor disproved. Who is anyone to say that the JW' s experience isn't the correct one.
JW's believe that they follow the bible too, how does one resolve this dilemma. If faith is the only requirement for accessing spiritual truth, then every religion based on faith based beliefs are correct.I know nothing of JW.

I rejoice in the Word. The Gospel. I haven't heard any good news from other religions. God promises me love and eternal life, and its because of that love that i believe. Inwardly hope and love fill the void in my soul, and i rejoice. My heart is changed as well, and i rejoice that God has changed my heart. Jesus is the way, truth, and life.JW's believe that they follow the bible too, how does one resolve this dilemma.

I mean how else can you substantiate one religious truth from another, if you don't need facts.

That experience can not be reduced to legalistic religious dogma, that you need to be completely free and open to truth.What is that?
The good thing about being born again is that this life is all the hell I will ever experience. The bad thing about not being born again is this life is all the heaven you will ever experience.

How do you suppose you are not a candidate for hell, you only have faith that you're going to heaven. So you can't prove to anyone you are saved, because you only believe you're saved.If that's a "yes," then belief in Hell has objectively done a lot of good in the world (however short it falls of the message of the Gospel).
I very much am one, but God mercifully made a way out for people who believe in Jesus and follow him. I don't follow him well at times, but God is faithful.How do you suppose you are not a candidate for hell, you only have faith that you're going to heaven.

Your feelings betray you friend.
