You should find out the meaning of being "yoked", it doesn't mean being mentioned. Jesus mentioned the hypocrites several times.
Jesus mentioned those PRACTICING the same religion with him inside the same physical temple not those who have chosen to abandon what is happening in the temple where Jesus worshiped!
Note that he never said anything about the Samaritans who have their own separate religion {John 4:20-22} that's why Jesus kept telling his followers not to go and start arguing with Samaritans because they're not on the same page! Matthew 10:5
So you mentioning me when i've declared that you and i aren't worshiping the same God is unwarranted!
For your information, if your God is the true one then myself and all those with me will PERISH because we are not worshiping your God and we will never worship your God.
But if my God proves to be the true one then it means you and all none JWs are doomed.
So there's no reason mentioning me i've made up my mind try to do the same and forget about me! smiley

From all that you have written here i believe it is safe to say that it's not that you don't believe in God, because you actually do and just dislike Him.

God hates evil (any sane person would), God is jealous FOR people not OF people (there's a difference), when you say God watches porn you say it like the same way you would say a human watches porn but that's not true. The Bible says the God's eyes go to and fro around the earth keeping watch on the evil and on the good. When God looks at people acting porn He doesn't do so with lust (God is all Good and lust is evil so He can't lust), God has never deceived anybody, you must have Him mistaken for the devil: he is the real deceiver.

You said He didn't write anything Himself and that's not true. All Scripture is God-breathed.

Who do you think is behind scientific breakthroughs? Lol. Do you seriously think that God doesn't have a hand in all the great scientific breakthroughs the world has made? Who gave us brains? Who determined our brain's abilities and limits?

The Bible is not flawed, it is infallible.

Bro i think you are just angry at God because you have some wrong ideas about Him. You don't believe that He is Good but indeed He is.

This is the problem with following you along with your assumptions you begin to think I believe your god. If I stuck by my guns and insist that your god doesn't exist then we would have no discussion. I only follow the assumptions to logical conclusions so don't get it twisted, I remain an atheist.

Like I said excuses would begin to come out for the god because you must now try to reconcile what is expressly written with the concept of the god you have in your head. The god is said to have sent a spirit of deception to get Ahab to go into battle but to you its not the god. In the NT it is said that the god will send delusion to make people deceived but to you it's not the god. LoL

Your god did not write anything, the claims of inspiration cannot be substantiated by any reasonable means. Jesus was alive and didn't write a single word. He did not reveal any scientific principle or expound on any technology but somehow we are to believe your god is responsible for scientific breakthroughs.

I alluded to facts about the origins of the Bible but instead of countering with facts you come with assertions. You are merely defending what you think is infallible, have you actually looked up the history of how you got the book you call the Bible?

I repeat I don't believe in your god, such a god doesn't exist.

Your problem is that you don't know how to preach yet you're annoyed with those who are preaching and teaching what is true!
If i say "God" Apostle Paul confirmed that there are many Gods {1Corinthians 8:5} so it's not necessary that my God must be your God.
And if i say "Jesus" Jesus himself said there will be many false Christs {Mark 13:22} so my own Jesus differ from yours!
Please go and worship your God mine totally differs from yours! smiley

I don't believe you. Deep down inside you know there is a God but don't just like Him very much.

Why shouldn't i believe that God is responsible for scientific breakthroughs? Who gave people brains?

Why wouldn't God send a lying spirit to get Ahab to go into battle? Ahab was an ungodly king and God wanted him out of the throne.

When you say that you only follow assumptions to logical conclusions are you trying to say that belief in God is illogical? Because that's not true.

All in all i believe that there's no real atheist. If anything you are angry at God because you perceive Him as unjust and unfair.

If i say "you're not a Christian" you will feel bad but let me assist you in silencing the atheists worrying you over the goodness of JEHOVAH.
Psalms 34:8

First of all what the atheists are dragging with you is the evil things happening around the world today and the way Jehovah dealt with the enemies of Israel in ancient times, shey?

Well if you must know the atheists themselves are saying that JEHOVAH is good but they're not aware of what they're saying whenever they demand for LOGICAL REASONING.

Let me treat the idea of evil things happening in the world today and how JEHOVAH has proved to be GOOD in allowing mankind pass through this situation!

But before i do i'll like to ask for your permission to use God's word (Bible) in addressing the issue and the atheists to state clearly what exactly they want to know respecting how God can be referred to as good despite all the evil happening on earth today! smiley
Re: Is God Good? by MaxInDHouse(m): 8:05am On Sep 24, 2021
If you're all silent then i'll go ahead with the LOGIC.

God is the Almighty and Wisest Person in the whole universe so when it comes to dealing with issues He will allow for reasoning unlike foolish humans that will jump into action anytime they see something unpleasant.

What we are experiencing today is as a result of God's goodness, He created the first human pair perfectly and told them that they're free to do whatever they like but they must never try to set standards for themselves because that will lead to self destruction! Genesis 2:16-17

Well the perfect pair rebelled against Him and here we are today experiencing the consequences of their actions. Ecclesiastes 4:1;8:9
So until we are able to return to perfection we will continue to grow old, get sick and die because we are all born imperfect our system can only repair itself for sometime it will not continue to repair itself that's why we will always grow old whether we choose to be good or evil. Romans 3:23; 5:12

So how did God prove to be good in that?

He wants the scores to be settled once and for all, but first His standard must be kept because angels are watching and they will like to see how their Father is going to solve this problem without turning down His own standard. That why He asked for one of them to come and represent Adam as a perfect soul and pay for the redemption of the entire human race. This is just since it's through one person all humans became imperfect so we can become perfect again through the sacrifice of one perfect man! 1Corinthians 15:45

After this has been settled and the story lives in the memory of all those who survive the end of badness God will never permit any evil again because He has done it before and everyone has seen that rebellion against Him will never lead to success. So in the future if anyone tries to rebel against God's standard God will permit such a person to enjoy the beautiful things on the planet for just 100 years Yes! when i say just 100 years you may be wondering that's too much shey? Well by that time everyone will continue to live forever as youths, there will never be oldage or sickness again. So the evil person will only be permitted to live for 100 years and if he refuse to repent then he will die not due to oldage or sickness but due to his wickedness! Isaiah 65:20

For now Jehovah is saying "just exert yourself my child to survive this wicked system of things, there is nothing good in this one compared to what i have in stock for you in PARADISE" Luke 13:24; 23:43

Now tell me if JEHOVAH is not GOOD to both those who are good and bad among Adam's descendants? Matthew 5:45 smiley

He certainly is:

matt 19:17 And he said to him, Why call you me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if you will enter into life, keep the commandments.

^^^ and when Jesus showed, only God is good, He then said shortly after, I am good vvv

You asked if killing children enmass good. The discussion and answer has centered on the comparative goodness. Having malaria may be better than cancer, losing a limb may be good compared to losing a life, going to Heaven as a baby is certainly better than going to hell as an adult in a ripe old age.

So God won't be unjust to send an atheist to hell because the atheist did know He existed.

I don't believe anybody can be an atheist. But i believe people can be agnostic, which is a more logical viewpoint.

Also, it is logically impossible to be an atheist. You know why? Because atheist means 'no God'.

God always treat us in a way that befits our making {Psalms 103:13-15} before He act against the wicked JEHOVAH always respect our opinion but it's when man failed to stick to what he himself beleives that JEHOVAH will treat such a person as evildoer.
In the Old Testament JEHOVAH never wanted anyone to die that's why He performed many miracles to rescue His people from Egypt.
Back then people everywhere fear anybody having the support of the gods but when they heard of a God who travelled to the territory of other Gods, conquered all those Gods and deliver His people out of slavery without a military, it's like sending a warning to all the nations in the world that this God is the Almighty whose will never change.
We can learn from the statement made by that prostitute in Jericho:

She said to the men: “I do know that Jehovah will give you the land and that the fear of you has fallen upon us. All the inhabitants of the land are disheartened because of you, for we heard how Jehovah dried up the waters of the Red Sea before you when you left Egypt and what you did to the two kings of the Amʹor·ites, Siʹhon and Og, whom you devoted to destruction on the other side of the Jordan. When we heard about it, we lost heart, and no one has any courage because of you, for Jehovah your God is God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath. Joshua 2:9-11

So when all the peoples on the planet do fear the gods what could have been the reason why they refused to fear the God that has done all what this woman said?
Of course they treated Jehovah with disrespect that's why they deserve to die for turning against their own rules! smiley

Atheist doesn't mean "no god" as you are claiming. Atheist means without god which in my case means I without belief in god but if you want to persist in saying you know my mind better than me, you can have a conversation with yourself.

Atheist is the greek word 'a theos'. 'a' means no, 'theos' means God. It is the belief that there is no God.

Regardless of what you may say i still don't believe that atheists truly believe what they say they do.

My reason being that the Bible clearly states that God has revealed what may be known of Him to everyone, so that all are without excuse. The Bible also says that the sky declares the Glory of God. So God is clearly justified to throw an atheist into hell for eternity.
