The decision regarding who will be saved is not subject to human musings but only to divine justice and mercy.  Yet who can deny the Apostle Peter's logic:?\n(John 6:68) “Lord, whom shall we go away to? You have sayings of everlasting life\n\nObviously, sitting inside a JW Kingdom Hall is not some talisman of salvation. Accurate knowledge and true worship that pleases the Almighty are required, no matter one's physical associations.\n\nIt will do a Satanist no good to be near Jehovah's Witnesses when judgement comes, so he should stop trying to please humans and stop limping upon two opinions.\n\n(1 Kings 18:21) “How long will YOU be limping upon two different opinions? If Jehovah is the true God, go following him; but if Baal is, go following him

First  the God in heaven is spelled with a capitol G and He is God the father of the Lamb that was slain. Therefore power is not given Him it is his already. Read 1Chr 29:12

This is a difficult concept for many Christian groups who are not guided by revelation from God.  As is evident from the previous three answers--they don't know.  No mortal can understand what happens within the spiritual realm unless God Himself reveals it.  When men try to understand or explain spiritual matters without God's divine guidance we get answers like the ridiculous Athenasian, Apostolic or Nicean Creeds that gymnastically struggle to explain what God is like (not very successfully.)  However when God Himself parts the heavens and reveals truth to the earth through a living prophet the answers are much clearer.  Through modern revelation we know that those who inherit the highest kingdom of heaven will be living in the family unit, just as God the Father does.  We will not play harps, nor will we just sit around on clouds and sing, we will not lose our bodies and become incorporal mists of nothingness, we will literally become like God, our heavenly father with a glorified and tangible body of flesh and bones--just like Jesus had after His resurrection.  Where was there EVER a child that could not become like his parent with hard work and obedience?  This is the real joy of God the Father--to see his children become as he is.  That is what heaven will be like.  As to the details of how this will take place, the Lord in his wisdom has chosen not to reveal the particulars of the afterlife, but the promises are sure.

A. Democracy is a myth.  No country has ever been a true democracy.  A true democracy everyone from age eight to death has a say on every issue.  (The US is a Federal Republic with divided and diffused powers divided between the various jurisdictions giving the federal a very specific roll and the rest to the states)\n\nB Oligarchy is the rule of a small group over a country-WHICH IS THE CORRECT ANSWER\n\nC. Theocracy is rule by a god\n\nD. Dictatorship is complete rule of one ruler.\n\n\nAgain the correct answer is B

Jehovah's Witnesses understand the Scriptures to teach that God's Kingdom will soon replace all earthly governments.\n(Daniel 2:44) God of heaven will set up a kingdom... It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite\n\nThat Kingdom will rule over the vast majority of mankind, most of whom will have been raised from the dead after Armageddon.\n(John 11:23,24) Jesus said to her: “Your brother will rise.” Martha said to him: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.”\n(Acts 24:15) There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.\n\nUntil that resurrection, there is no suffering in "hell", or the grave. Sometime after the resurrection, death and "hell" will themselves be destroyed.\n(Ecclesiastes 9:5) For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all\n(Ecclesiastes 9:10) there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol ["hell"]\n(Revelation 20:14) And death and Hades ["hell"] were hurled into the lake of fire\n\nWhile a limitted number of humans will be resurrected to heaven to share in ruling over mankind, the vast majority (literally more than 99.9%) of Jehovah's Witnesses expect an EARTHLY hope, the same hope given to Adam and Eve.\n(Genesis 1:28) God blessed them and God said to them: “Be fruitful and become many and fill THE EARTH and subdue it [caps added]\n(Genesis 2:17) You must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die [so never eating from that tree means never dying]\n\nInterestingly, the Scriptures are full of references to this earthly hope.\n(Psalms 37:11) 'the meek will possess the earth'\n(Proverbs 2:21) 'upright will reside in the earth'\n(Isaiah 45:18) 'God formed the earth to be inhabited'\n(Matthew 5:5) 'the mild will inherit the earth'\n(Revelation 21:3) The tent of God is with mankind\n\nJehovah's Witnesses' official website:\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/jt/\nhttp://watchtower.org/library/jt/index.htm

God's kingdom in heaven

Let your KINGDOM come on earth as it is in heaven - Jesus taught us that prayer - and anyone of a certain age repeated it in school every day. Jesus taught a lot about God's purpose for the earth while he himself was on earth....what is that\nA new government that rules the entire earth is waht can turn things around  - Gods righteous government - the Kingdom. "The meek shall inherit the earth and the righteous will dwell upon it in peace." Revelation 21:4 - He will wipe out every tear fro theri eyes and death will be no more; neither will mourning or outcry or pain be any more.\nGod created man to live on the earth in happiness and perfection. Sin happened and therefore the wages sin pays is 'death.'  The restoration of that original purpose though, is the entire theme of the Bible. \nSince God's right to sovereigty was selfishly challanged........he has allowed humans the opportunity to see just how well we would do at self-management.  God is patient....but he 'will' step in and fix that mess we've made. Man cannot rule himself - history has proven it - we are proving it today.

I agree with the above answer. I believe in God's sovereignty, and I see it as a very good thing. Who else better to be in charge of the world than a loving, all powerful God? If humans were in charge, we would mess things up because of our finiteness.

Darkness has no King it acknowledges.  God is ruler over all.  Darkness is rebellion to His rule.  I guess Satan is said to be prince because he is still under God's rule, even though he is in rebellion to it.  That he refuses to recognize the Sovereignty of God doesn't change that God is Sovereign.

Well, the Pope is head of the catholic church and a King would be head of the country. Unless you are in the vatican city which is a secular state where the pope lives and takes on the lead role of the vatican city also (considered I think the smallest country in the world)  \n\nI one time during many years ago the pope did head up a larger territory in the area but was once exhiled. Then later returned to the vatican where it became a secular state.\n\nA king rules over a country, and some countries kings/queens is also head of the religion in that country.\n\nSo you could say the Pope is on equal footing (since he is head of the vatican city with a secular state) also with a wide reaching power into also heading up the world catholic church.

Most of his major sayings aren't original.  The so-called "Golden Rule" was spoken by a Rabbi long before Yeshua was a gleam in his sky daddy's eye.  And the Greeks and Confucians before him.  Several of the beatitudes are also found in Psalms and Isaiah.  Not a sign of true original thought.

Theocracy is the best, but only if Jesus is on the throne.  We will live in Theocracy for 1000 years after the second coming of Christ.  A benevolent dictator.  This will go against the grain of some here, but God is going to do it.  Until Jesus gets here the best I know of is democracy, which even that eventually will fail, as it is now breaking down.

Jesus said, "a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand".    Satan knows he said it and I'm sure he also knows that "Divide and conquer" is the first rule of war.  Well, he's at war with God, so he does his best to divide God's troops.  If we all got together for the soul purpose of worshipping and praising God then Satan would be in big trouble.  So if he can keep us fighting with each other instead of being "like minded" and conquering him then he has less to worry about and a better chance of snagging some wayward souls.  It isn't a major goal to some people because we have "become lovers of our selves more than lovers of God".

I like your logic, and I agree.  I believe all gods are one God, just different names/aspects.  The supreme ruler is an IMMENSE being, and mere humans with our human brains cannot possibly interpret the whole thing as it is.  So we look at aspects of the supreme being.  I see one part, and you see another part.  But we're seeing the same Being.
