Question
In your opinion what is religion?

In your opinion what is Faith ?

Has your religion changed over the course of your life ?  

Answer
Dear Greg:

I would say that religion is something that pertains to a belief in a higher being but with other opinions and facts brought along wby men and women.  In some cases, it's good, but it some, they tend to stray away from what the meaning of true belief and faith are.

Involving Faith, I would say that it's best described by a famous Bible verse:  "Faith is the expectation of things unseen."  Faith helps us to see beyond what we see in fron of us in hopes of a better tomorrow.  It starts with one person and it can be shared by all.


My religion has changed in the sense of that there's  a growing responsibility on our part to help people know the truth about God, as in the preaching work we are known for.  Sadly, many religions distort and give false reasonings to things pertaining in the Bible.  When a Jehovah's witness comes to your door, give a listen and ask questions.  It's the only way for people to know.


I hope this answers your question, Greg.

Thanks
JOHN
