I decided to do this email at the suggestion of my friend @DesertDave who in one of his emails asked some very interesting questions about spirituality and in my reply I sent him some questions that I have answered myself, so he suggested this email to me. I am not trying to change anyone's way of thinking or perspective, I will just show the answers I have found to questions I have asked myself. Here I reproduce the response to @DesertDave's email
"We could answer @DesertDave's questions one by one.
To begin with we must understand that everyone is free to think and do what they want and that it is not up to men to judge what is right or wrong. Because if we are talking about God, then let God be the one to judge based on His truth.
Since the relationship or connection is personal with God, the first thing I need to know is:
Does God have a name? What is God's name if He has one and what does it mean? What is God like? What are the main qualities of God? How can I know what God wants from me? On what basis does God judge? Are Jesus and God equal? Does God approve of all forms of worship? Should we worship God? Should we obey God out of fear or love?
Then we could answer other questions that help us understand other issues related to God and the Bible"
Nearly as long as humans have existed, they have worshipped many gods and goddesses. Yet, the Bible refers to one God who “is greater than all the other gods.” (2 Chronicles 2:5) Who is that? And what makes him greater than all the other gods that people worship? In this lesson, learn how this God introduces himself to you.
- What is God’s name, and how can we be sure that he wants us to know it?
In the Bible, God introduces himself to us. He says: “I am Jehovah. That is my name.” (Read Isaiah 42:5, 8.) “Jehovah” is the translation of a Hebrew name that evidently means “He Causes to Become.” Jehovah wants us to know his name. (Exodus 3:15) How can we be sure of that? In the Bible he included his name over 7,000 times!a The name Jehovah belongs to “the true God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath.”—Deuteronomy 4:39.
- What does the Bible reveal about Jehovah?
The Bible says that among all the gods worshipped by humans, Jehovah is the only true God. Why? There are several reasons. Jehovah has supreme authority, and he alone is “the Most High over all the earth.” (Read Psalm 83:18.) He is “the Almighty,” which means he has the power to do whatever he chooses to do. He “created all things”—the universe and all life on earth. (Revelation 4:8, 11) Unlike anyone else, Jehovah has always existed, and he will exist forever.—Psalm 90:2.
