imo you should fast for about a week/10 days first, and then come ask again if you still need to

 

You know how I feel about it. Give yourself the time to develop a better idea of HOW to read it first. Considering the things you have already been told to accept, I think it is imperative that you address that propensity for seeing with biased eyes that you may have absorbed first. You probably lack that openness at this point.

 

Yes. Read it for yourself and if you have a question...ask someone here.

Start with one of the four gospels....maybe John would be best.
He was the only one standing at the cross with Jesus...together with Jesus' mother, her sister, and Mary Magdalene.

He died at the old age of 90 on an island where he had been banished.
He speaks about how Jesus is the Word of God and how He is God.

Otherwise Luke might be good...it tells the most history about Jesus' life.

 

I also have a book on that....

 

Not a good idea if you've never fasted that long. I can fast 2-3 day's top, then I start feeling faint. If you don't know how to fast for long periods of time it is unwise to do so.

 

It really isn't known as a positive fact, but I think he is thought to have died at Ephesus sometime after AD 98.

 

I know Patmos. Don't know the year, but he was about 90.
??
If you find out, let me know.

 

Well, I used to also believe (because I was told this) that Revelation was written in AD 94. I have since read enough evidence to believe it was, instead, written about 66 or 67.

 

GodsGrace,

John's Gospel has some challenging theology in it, especially for the JW, e.g. John 1:1; John 5:17-18; John 8:58; John 10:30-33.

I'd recommend starting with what is considered to be the first Gospel, the Gospel of Mark, and then go to the Book of Acts which describes the preaching of the Gospel and the spread of the early church.

Why do you allow a non-believing atheist to give advice to Christians yet you chastise Christians for inappropriate posts?
