Armageddon: Should You Fear It?

Is faith a valid pathway to determining truth? Is there any belief that a person could not take on faith?

Then comes the second verse.

"So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."

Cool that doesn’t answer my questions.

Is faith a reliable pathway to truth? Is there anything that a person could not take on faith?

With the best guide for living? I don't think so...

It isn't a guide for living. It doesn't tell you anything about what to eat or drink or activities to engage in. It doesn't educate you or prepare you for a job to make a living. It makes you treat this life as an obligation to some god and count down until death. Life is much too interesting to focus on stuff that only comes after death. I'd rather live than prepare to die.

There is no such thing. It's like waiting for the Great Pumpkin. I'd rather focus on living now than count on something imaginary coming true.

Not for the Christian Arabs. They use the term Allah too.

Allah is merely the arabic for the word 'God'. Arab Christians call God Allah.

Yet, the Bible says there are many gods, who all have personal names...the only True God also has a personal name, Jehovah...

Other that the fact that is wrong, ok.

I mean he is referred to as many names.
El, Elohim, Adonai, YHWH, Ehyeh-Asher-Ehyeh, Shaddai,

Of course, Hebrew does not have the J sound, so Jehovah would never have been used

Nope...those are merely titles, except got YHWH, like king or governor...God has only one personal name, just like you and I do...

Nope. Jehovah is made up in the 16th century. It's not a personal name.
 
no we should not fear Armageddon.....because we cannot do one thing about it anyway......someone said the only thing to fear is fear itself......makes sense.....

besides there is not one single one of us who knows for certain what happens after death.......we know what we believe but we have no proof.......if we did we would all just kill ourselves and go on to Heaven......oh how small we are
 
Titles...

Elo·him

Adonai is the plural of the Hebrew word Adon, which means “lord” or “master.”

"I Am that I Am" is a common English translation of the Hebrew phrase אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה‎‎ – also "I am who I am", "I will become what I choose to become", "I am what I am", "I will be what I will be", "I create what I create", or "I am the Existing One". Wikipedia

Jehovah
Jehovah (/dʒɪˈhoʊvə/) is a Latinization of the Hebrew יְהֹוָה‎ Yəhōwā, one vocalization of the Tetragrammaton יהוה‎ (YHWH), the proper name of the God of Israel in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament.

Allah is the same God as the Christian and Jewish God.

Muslims and Jews do not believe Jesus is a prophet. Seems you're theistically outnumbered.

Most of them. With a couple exceptions, they're just BS and there to stroke gods ego.

Because most of us "faithless" are more rational and not theistically delusional.

Not wrong about my faith. That's all that really counts.

A Pascals Wager. Faith (or belief) does not equal fact.

You can keep on saying that. The term Jehovah STILL wasn't invented till the 16th century.

That is because no one pronounced God's name, due to superstition on the Jew's part...when people finally learned the Bible in English, they were smart enough to understand that God wants us to use His name and make it known...
