I am looking for people who would like to have an email  interchange of encouragemen​t about their current beliefs on various subjects and the source of those beliefs.  Also how your beliefs have improved your life, made you more successful and happier. I would like to compare what optimistic picture (or pessimisitic​ picture) your religion paints for your future with what the Bible teaches. ( again, an interchange of encouragemen​t rather than a debate) A positive example of what the Bible really teaches about the future is as follows :                                                                                                                                                   Is This What God Purposed?

READ any newspaper. Look at television, or listen to the radio. There are so many stories of crime, war, and terrorism! Think about your own troubles. Perhaps illness or the death of a loved one is causing you great distress. You may feel like the good man Job, who said that he was “drenched with misery.”—Job​ 10:15, The Holy Bible in the Language of Today.

Ask yourself:

▪ Is this what God purposed for me and for the rest of mankind?

▪ Where can I find help to cope with my problems?

▪ Is there any hope that we will ever see peace on the earth?

The Bible provides satisfying answers to these questions.

THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT GOD WILL BRING ABOUT THESE CHANGES ON THE EARTH.

“He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.”—Re​velation 21:4

“The lame one will climb up just as a stag does.”—Isaia​h 35:6

“The eyes of the blind ones will be opened.”—Isa​iah 35:5

“All those in the memorial tombs will . . . come out.”—John 5:28, 29

“No resident will say: ‘I am sick.’”—Isai​ah 33:24

“There will come to be plenty of grain on the earth.”—Psal​m 72:16

BENEFIT FROM WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES

Do not quickly dismiss what is presented as mere wishful thinking. God has promised to bring these things about, and the Bible explains how he will do so.

But the Bible does more than that. It provides the key to your enjoying a truly satisfying life even now. Think for a moment about your own anxieties and troubles. They may include money matters, family problems, loss of health, or the death of a loved one. The Bible can help you to deal with problems today, and it can provide relief by answering such questions as these:

▪ Why do we suffer?

▪ How can we cope with life’s anxieties?

▪ How can we make our family life happier?

▪ What happens to us when we die?

▪ Will we ever see our dead loved ones again?

▪ How can we be sure that God will fulfill his promises for the future?

Notice that the paragraphs have correspondin​g questions at the bottom of the page. Millions have enjoyed using the question-and​-answer method when discussing the Bible with Jehovah’s Witnesses. We hope you will too. May you have God’s blessing as you now enjoy the thrilling and satisfying experience of learning what the Bible really teaches!
