i truely think that religeion not the love of money is the root of all evil,jehovah himself said to the jews in the exodus chose whom you will serve for you are not able to serve me, yet the people said no! we will serve jehovah ,so it is indeed mans fault and folly to have religeion when god did not ask for one!

You have a point Ari, but think about religion, have you ever seen a poor one:confused:
The LOVE of money is evil incarnate, it promotes egotism, selfishness, greed, arrogance, pompusness, envy, self righteousness, drugs wars, prostitution, world wars for power and control, child trafficing, its just endless.

You know Ari your right about how Jehovah and his Son view false worship. They hate it with a capital H!
I have always thought about the scripture in Rev 20:10 10 And the Devil who was misleading them was hurled into the lake of fire and sulphur, where both the wild beast and the false prophet [already were]; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
True to Jehovah’s word Babylon the Great is not even mentioned, it’s as if she never existed!
Complete annihilation! :confused:

personally i think the whole religeion thing is a lesson from jehovah who is teaching man that if man cant obey one simple law [adam] he certainly will never obey his own laws and standards[tree of good and evil] the idea that jehovah was testing adams obediance is just another religious fable, indeed jehovah certainly knew as the master father that the surest way to get a kid to do something is tell him dont do it!
theirs something that jehovah wants all men to see. i think that in the final judgment we shall all become aware of what that is.
my theory is that its to see if a man has real godly love the kind that says jehovah im sorry i sinned and if the penalty is death so be it rightous father! let not my sin be passed on for another man to have to deal with..
it is my guess that if adam and eve had done that we would not have any religeon other that the knowledge of how good jehovah is.
