    The answer lies in the soil.

    I think you made a spelling error. I hope you meant soul and I agree.

    Hi Alice,


    With a question like that you are going to get all the crank evangelists all excited, So permit me please to give you my best advice based on more than half a centuries experience.


    You need to do some intensive study of the scriptures. There are many wolves in sheep's clothing out there who are ready to exploit you spiritually and financially even as Jesus and his apostles warned.


    I make a point of reading a passage of Gods word the Bible every day, but some things are hard to understand. So you need a modern bible preferably a direct translation. That is a bible that has been translated direct from the original Hebrew and Greek.


    You will be absolutely amazed at how much you will learn in just by setting aside an hour a day to read Gods word.


    Hot Tip. Jehovah's witnesses will give you a free translation of the bible and free literature which will help your endeavors to progress at speed.  Six months study with a teacher of your choice will enable you to more than hold your own intellectually and spiritually with any of Christendoms ministers or priests. Many of my Christian sisters are far better teachers that I am. In fact I would never have thought of becoming a teacher myself If I had not witnessed first hand how backward the clergy are at teaching the truth of Gods word.


    (That last statement is bound to cause a furor.)


    When and only when your teacher thinks you know enough and you yourself are willing, they will invite you to go with them in the door to door preaching work that Jesus commanded all his followers to engage in. You will not have to do or say anything but very often my students are bursting at the seams to share their new knowledge and skill with others. Of course not every house holder will listen favorably to the Good News.  But you will be taught how to deal with that in a dignified way. All these skills you will be taught free of charge and no collection plate will be waived under your nose at any of the gatherings.


    In this time of the end more than 7.5 million teachers have been raised up by Jehovah's spirit to engage in this preaching work. There are currently more than 8 million students being taught on a one to one basis. Each year circa a third of a million qualify for baptism. No one is allowed to be baptized unless their knowledge and desire to serve God is mature. Every single one of us has said 'I could never do that.' But when the time was right it became easy because the holy spirit impelled us to. We love our work and we give freely of ourselves because doing so means everlasting life for us and those who listen to us.


    I hope the above will be of help to you Alice.


    May Jehovah bless your efforts to please him well.


     


     

    i think benthere is right on the money!

    ""Stop eating so much.

    ""Become a nun.

    You can simply talk to Jesus through your prayers . Ask your questions ,ask for guidance in your life and be willing to accept a reasonable, sensible and loving answer. God asks us to do what is loving  

    robertgrist

    "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres". 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

    Why not join a religionous order, become a Nun.

    Well you probably won't like the answer to this, but here goes. The Bible states that if you believe in Jesus and that he shed his blood for you that you will not go to hell. Most people don't  know that in Hebrew believe is more than a thought. It  means that you have to live by and adhere to the word of God, which is the bible. It's not easy! Good luck and God bless.
