"We have concluded a covenant with Death" . Millions Now Living Will Never Die . . But hold on! Those millions are now all dead. . Isaiah 28:18 And YOUR covenant with Death will certainly be dissolved, and that vision of YOURS with She´ol will not stand. . . The Governing Body are the rulers of God's people: . "YOU rulers of this people who are in Jerusalem" . . Jerusalem, the Booth of David: . Acts 15:13-18 After they quit speaking, James answered, saying: “Men, brothers, hear me. 14 Sym´e·on has related thoroughly how God for the first time turned his attention to the nations to take out of them a people for his name. 15 And with this the words of the Prophets agree, just as it is written, 16 ‘After these things I shall return and rebuild the booth of David that is fallen down; and I shall rebuild its ruins and erect it again, 17 in order that those who remain of the men may earnestly seek Jehovah, together with people of all the nations, people who are called by my name, says Jehovah, who is doing these things, 18 known from of old.’ . "people who are called by my name, says Jehovah" . Jehovah's Witnesses! . . They are fulfilling bible prophecy in exquisite detail. . Want more evidence? . Just ask. .

Totally correct! It's a sobering thought that most Christians are headed for destruction, there are comparatively few who make the grade, "many are called, few are chosen". The whole of Mathew 7 is really important, it gives one of the main reasons why this number is so high, the majority will follow the "wolves in sheep's clothing" who will lead them astray. Rather than putting their faith in God and his Son, they put their faith in men who promise to tell them everything they need to know. "Why do you call me Lord, Lord but don't do the things I tell you", they affirm Jesus is their master but they didn't obey their master! They listened to the wolves, who told them they didn't need to obey all that stuff. Jesus will say to them, "get away from me I never knew you, you workers of lawlessness".

@@MommaBear-ml5zx Read the whole of Mathew 7, it's a sobering thought, but the entire chapter contrasts two types of believer, those FEW on the narrow path to everlasting life and the MANY on the broad road to destruction. Christ will say to the MANY, why do you call me Lord, Lord but do not do the things I command? They call him master but don't obey their master. The MANY say, but didn't we do XYZ in your name! And Jesus will reply, get away from me you workers of lawlessness, I never knew you! "Many are called, few are chosen",If you read the Bible, it's clear that obedience to Christ is necessary, a change in character is necessary in your Christian walk. Be ye doers of the word, not Just hearers, is essential! It's not an optional extra, if you want to be amongst the "chosen". Elsewhere in Mathew 7 there is a clue as to why the vast majority of believers end up on the wrong path; they follow the "wolves in sheep's clothing" who lead them astray. Considering the numbers involved here, this is a serious matter, on the last day most of those throughout history who considered themselves Christian, will be rejected even those who seemed to do much for the faith. They didn't do what was asked of them, therefore it behoves us to get this right, if you're Church leader is not telling you that you have certain obligations as a Christian and is preaching a watered down message that involves little more than mentally ascending to a set of propositions (beliefs), then you are being deceived!

The lack of Jesus sacrifice in their talks... has always been a red flag and also.... what sounds like their "fantasy land promise"... Grandma left the JW, not without a lot of pain and troubles... she threw all their literature and bought a Bible with the largest print at that time!

What the churches have come up with and what the Bible teaches are total extremes. Those who become JWs left the churches because of the nonsense these teach.

EXJW here. Jehovah's Witnesses used to be a lot more direct and upfront telling non believers they will die at Armageddon. They still believe that but only discuss amongst themselves in their halls, rarely at the doors unless pushed. In fact if you straight out asked a JW that question they will back peddle in embarrassment.Their tact now us to def find vulnerable ones, ie someone who has recently had a death and promise they will see that loved one again shortly, or to offer this cushy promise of a life on earth for just becoming a JW. Then they require constant work for salvation, donations, and worse they are emotionally blackmailed that they may not be good enough to survive unless they work harder. If anyone speaks to JWs ask them what happens if you want to ever leave - you will be shunned and lose all family and friends. Ask them if they follow all Jesus commands - then read Mat 28:19,20 and ask them how they baptise new members. They do not baptise in Holy Spirit, instead they ask “Have you repented of your sins, dedicated yourself to Jehovah, and accepted his way of salvation through Jesus Christ?” & “Do you understand that your baptism identifies you as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses in association with Jehovah’s organization?” Absolutely nothing to do with Christ or the Holy Spirit - you are basically baptised into a publishing company incorporated in New York. This is only one of the many ways they claim to follow the Bible but in reality don't come anywhere close.

If the Governing Body tells you to “Jump,” you’re supposed to say “How High?” If the Governing Body tells us witnesses no blood, they have essentially given me a death sentence, because I’m constantly anemic. So, I secretly watch your videos, which would be considered apostasy, hoping that you’ll give me enough courage to turn away from them.

Bonus: Oh ya and no matter what you do in this life your own death (Romans 6:7) absolves you of your sins. Bonus bonus: We have made at least 7 false end time predictions under the leadership of Jesus. We spoke above his authority to do this. Lastly, Jesus came to include the gentiles in John 10:16 as the fulfillemnt of prophecy, but we say he was talking about a second class of Christians.

@@LarJgrip "The cross makes a statement which then demands a decision by you and by me." Well, none of my crosses have been making statements or demanding decisions. That would be strange. The Son of God requires a decision; and no other person supercedes the Son of God (except the father; and he has handed Earth to the Son of God). The cross is where Jesus ENDED his work; many people were crucified on crosses. The actual payment for sin appears to have taken place in the Garden of Gethsemane. On the cross, BEFORE he died, Jesus reportedly said, "It is finished." John 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. Dying on the cross was probably necessary, but I believe that's not where the actual atonement took place.

I thank God that Jesus has proved himself reliable to answer all the big questions of life: origins, destination, morality, and meaning. Attempts to undermine the veracity of the Bible have failed for millennia. The Bible has been proven reliable historically and archaeologically, and fulfilled prophecy proves its Divine origin. The historic resurrection proves that Jesus is in fact, God. He fulfilled numerous specific prophecies, claimed to be God in the flesh, and then backed it up by rising from the dead. When anyone claims that we can’t know the answers, or something is not possible, they don’t realise that the answers have already been revealed. All of this truth is well-established, and even a cursory look on the Internet will reveal the evidence for this. The problem is that they don’t want to believe. They set up an arbitrary, subjective standard of evidence, (which means nothing), so in their minds they feel justified in not believing. But all the evidence is there 😃 See the channel: “Testify”, for evidence ⬇️ youtube.com/@testifyapologetics?si=sFJn_7F7ZvX-2EYp If you can believe this, there are actually people today (and I mean full grown adults!!), who believe that our ancestors are fish and bacteria!!

Most people do not know how to witness. They don't know how to share their faith and are scared to be asked tough questions or any questions for that matter. From my own experience in church, I went because my family did. I said the sinners prayer, and basically, what i learned was through observation. I was not discipled. For the most part, children follow the paths of the parents. And learn their religions. And as one grows, each individual should earnestly seek out the truth in all things, and this path will lead you to Christ. I honestly believe that God has given us all enough evidence to believe Him. Romans2 11-16. But when a person is indoctrinated as a child or a young adult, it is next to impossible to convince them that they have been lied to even though you can present them with scriptures that prove otherwise. But it is possible, it takes work. And being led by the Holy Spirit.

I'm not a JW, however I still believe the Trinity is an unbiblical teaching, not fully appearing until the 4th century. The Bible never expressly teaches, describes, or defines it. And Jesus and the apostles never taught it, which ought to be a huge red flag, if this teaching is as necessary for salvation as people insist. We believe in one God, and the New Testament authors show that this one God is the Father. We only need to read the introductions of the New Testament letters to see that the Father and Jesus are always differentiated. God being referred to as the Father, and then Jesus as a separate being. Additionally we have Jesus referring to the Father as his God, and the apostles also doing so. For example, John 20:17; Revelation 3:12; 2 Corinthians 11:31; Ephesians 1:3, & 1:17; and 1 Peter 1:3.

@@lionoffireraw I might have a look at that video, although I'm aware of the usual proof texts used to try and prove the Trinity teaching. Each one can be understood from a Biblical Unitarian perspective, and usually makes more sense when taking into account the context of the passage. For example, John 10:30 viewed in its immediate context is easily seen to refer to oneness of purpose, rather than oneness of essence or being. The Bible clearly identifies the Father as the one true God, but no so for Jesus or the Holy Spirit. In a few places Jesus is called God, but clearly from the context, not God in the highest sense as the Father is. Many of the passages also have variations in translation, so it's hard to rely on them as proper proof texts, for example Hebrews 1:8. With the Holy Spirit, there is no passage where it's called God specifically. Yes, it's often referred to as a personality, but it can also be shown to be God's power and speech, and that explains why it sometimes appears to be a separate person. For example, when God speaks it's sometimes described as the spirit speaking. No contradiction, but it's just because spirit is breath, and God's breath is his speech, and it's holy.

He (wont mention names), rushed off to get a pamphlet that they hand out to "non believers", or "newbies" that want to join thier organisation. The first thing that struck me, was that the pamphlet was broken down into small paragraphs that had to be read aloud, with this back and forth thing where the non JW read a part, then they read a part, of which was basically aimed at the governing body, to be the saving Grace of all things, where anyone who knows scripture that Jesus alone is our only saviour. Not some man made religion that was actually founded by a mason. It went on and on about how the governing body is the only truth and all other doctrines are false, and only they can lead you to the light, and the truth etc..... Yes they have had many fall backs in the past to how they got dates wrong for world events, the shunning, this "two" witness rule for s3xual harassment/assult, and when confronted by police about any of these claims, why do they then burn the written evidence? Do they harbour these people, do they protect them?🤔 Jesus is NOT Micheal the arch angel! Jesus is the Messiah, none can be like Him or even Close! The NWT also removed the very small but important passage about Jesus being the Messiah, they started it out and left a dodgy footnote at the bottom of their page. (Should have taken a picture, as i do not have that literature in my possession any longer) This beard thing was new to me 🤡 Its truley amazing how they have a nack for targeting the spiritually weak and vulnerable. Folks, read the Bible (NKJ) would be the best more clear text, coupled with the Amplified Version, and do your own studies. Compare these with the NWT (New World Translation) that the JWs dish out and ask for discernment from The Holy Spirit. Remember: dont get trapped 😎📚 Knowledge is Power

How does that make sense? JWs are the only ones who have accepted the value of Jesus' sacrifice. That is why they are Jesus' DISCIPLES. Others have made Jesus into God and thereby lost the prospect of being a Disciple. No one can logically be a Disciple of God. Think about it.

@@tongakhan230 What does his sacrifice mean if he is not the Son of God? His sacrifice was to take away sins . Sin is what separates us from him because he is holy . Acts 4:12 says , "Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” It's here in black and white . Jesus said of himself , "That is why I told you that you would die in your sins. For unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.” It is that serious .

I thank God that Jesus has proved himself reliable to answer all the big questions of life: origins, destination, morality, and meaning. Attempts to undermine the veracity of the Bible have failed for millennia. The Bible has been proven reliable historically and archaeologically, and fulfilled prophecy proves its Divine origin. The historic resurrection proves that Jesus is in fact, God. He fulfilled numerous specific prophecies, claimed to be God in the flesh, and then backed it up by rising from the dead. When anyone claims that we can’t know the answers, or something is not possible, they don’t realise that the answers have already been revealed. All of this truth is well-established, and even a cursory look on the Internet will reveal the evidence for this. The problem is that they don’t want to believe.

@@lionoffireraw Actually, Christianity is in the mess it's in today in part because: 1. The "Church" teaches false doctrine, so they don't have God's holy spirit. 2. Most "Christian" religions don't make people adhere to God's moral standards. 3. Jesus said his people would be no part of the world, (John 17:16; John 15:19; John 18:26) but almost all supposed "Christian" religions are involved in wars, politics, etc. which is Satan's world, not Gods. (1 John 5:19) 4. Supposed Christians are not united in love, but are divided by many issues, such as race, economics, nationality, etc. For example, there are different Baptist churches, some considered "black" churches and others "white" churches. Two countries on opposing sides of a war have people of the same "Christian" religions killing each other, like in WWI and WWII, in Ukraine and Russia, In Bosnia and Serbia, etc. 1. Jehovah's Witnesses examine the Bible and teach what the Bible says, not what Church tradition says, which was influenced by Pagan religions and philosophy, changing doctrines along the way. 2. Jehovah's Witnesses do our best to keep the congregation clean by applying Bible principles and removing unrepentant people so they aren't a bad influence on others. 3. JW's remain neutral in all government affairs, not voting, not joining the military, not killing our brothers due to conflicts between countries, etc. 4. On the contrary, Jehovah's Witnesses are united in love worldwide. (John 13:35) Many come from backgrounds where they may have to fight against engrained feelings about others due to prejudice, but they overcome it and show genuine love to one another. This is evident at our international conventions, when we travel to other places, or have visitors from other places. From the inner cities to the countryside, from Asia, to Africa and the Americas, we are all one, just as Jesus and his Father are one. (John 17:20-23)

JW's do believe in many heretical doctrines, including a different Jesus. Yes I agree with that, but the disagreements between religions is not secondary but fatal. Remember Jesus said "MANY' will say to me on that day- Lord Lord did we not do this or that in your name..... many will be workers of lawlessness not just a few. Lawless people may consider themselves very religious and spiritual, but they have defined God as they wish Him to be, not as He is. Lawless people will not let go of false doctrine, perpetrated by deluded men., which is lawlessness against God. The religious leaders in Jesus day were lawless as Jesus said: "So you also outwardly appear righteous to others, but within you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness." "For you travel across sea and land to make a single proselyte, and when he becomes a proselyte, you make him twice as much a child of Gehenna as yourselves." Paul warned us : "That is why God lets a deceptive influence mislead them so that they may come to believe the lie, in order that they all may be judged because they did not believe the truth but took pleasure in unrighteousness" All churches today believe and teach lies over truth, including the JW's but there remain individual Christians around the world who do not. The Bible tells us, these are the wheat among weeds growing together till the harvest. Before we target another as false because we believe we are good with God and they are not (as the pharisees did this), we had better make sure we too, are not part of the "MANY" that Jesus spoke about. There is a high chance we are in that group if we follow any of the "many" organised religions.

I’m grateful that she started realizing things more as years went on, and grateful that she felt a sense of “community” at the time, albeit false I believe. It was pure manipulation, and fear tactics. She was ostracized by the church for thinking differently than they did and not following their doctrines (Ellen G. White’s doctrines)- going solely based on the teachings of the Bible, and that led to her semi-falling out with the church. I never did understand E.G. White’s hold on everyone. I hold a lot of hurt towards the SDA church for taking, who the “elders” knew was a vulnerable woman, in a bad place in life and blame a lot of her mental health decline on her years in the church.

Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that humans will eventually regain the innocence and perfection lost in the Garden of Eden. - No, they won't. We will always have the knowledge of Good and Evil, we will never return to a state of complete innocence, not knowing right from wrong. Jesus death is not buying back what innocence Adam lost, that's not the purpose of his death. They hold that through Jesus Christ’s ransom sacrifice, obedient humans will be restored to perfection and live forever on a paradise earth. This belief is rooted in their interpretation of biblical prophecies and teachings, particularly those found in the books of Genesis and Revelation. - Revelation is a prophetic and symbolic book, and Genesis the book of beginnings. They will pull scriptures out of each and from its contextual meaning adding them together as proof. Similar to taking words from your various conversations, adding them up to accuse you of a crime, when no crime existed. Jehovah’s Witnesses teach that God’s original purpose for the earth and humanity will be fulfilled, meaning that the earth will be transformed into a paradise similar to the Garden of Eden, and faithful humans will enjoy eternal life in perfect health and harmony. Two part objection: - 1. There is no biblical texts that describe the condition of the earth similar to the Garden of Eden, but that the Earth will be new and and the city of the New Jerusalem will be huge. The new Earth could be laid full of concrete and highways for all we know. - 2. According to them, a separate batch of faithful followers totalling 144,000 are believed to have a heaven ONLY existence, meaning they will live and rule with Christ in Heaven, not the Earth. They miss that Revelation states that God will live with man and rule from the New Jerusalem on the new Earth. - Living in Heaven is a higher privilege distinct from the majority of Jehovah’s Witnesses, who are stuck on earth and expect to live forever on a restored paradise earth with no ruling anything. Lest I forget, only the Jehovah's Witnesses get to live and rule from Heaven, the 144,000 previously mentioned.

John 14:28 John 17:1-3 (all of John 17) Matt 26:39 Mark 13:32 Matt 20:20-23 1 Cor 11:3 1 Cor 8:5-6 1 Pet 1:3 John 20:17 John 1:1-2 John 1:18 Heb 1:3 Matt 3:17 - This is my “SON” (this was said after Jesus Baptism). Isa 9:6 - Jesus Christ is described as “Mighty god”, but only his Father is referred to as “ALMIGHTY GOD” 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 BEGOTTEN means - CREATED and to BRING ABOUT The scripture that says Jesus is God's only BEGOTTEN Son is John 3:16, which states and PROVES Jesus was CREATED, God was NOT. "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only BEGOTTEN Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." (NIV) The Greek word "monogenes" (μονογενής) is translated as "only BEGOTTEN" in this verse, emphasizing Jesus' unique relationship with God as His sole, beloved, and DIVINE SON. Other scriptures that affirm Jesus' divine SONSHIP include: - John 1:14, "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only SON from the Father, full of grace and truth." - Hebrews 11:17, "By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son." - 1 John 4:9, "In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only BEGOTTEN Son into the world, that we might live through him." These scriptures, along with others, affirm Jesus' identity as God's only BEGOTTEN Son, emphasizing His divinity and unique relationship with HIS Father. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

The Bible clearly demonstrates that the Father is God, that Jesus is God, and that the Holy Spirit is God. It also demonstrates that they are separate Persons. It also demonstrates there is ONE God (one Being). The Trinity is an inescapable fact of the Bible.

Acts 1:6-8 shows the times and seasons belong to Father and Matthew 24:36- Jesus says only Father knows the day and hour... Acts 17 is encouraging. They are all scriptural...not human teachings

@Lion of Fire Raw I really appreciate your videos and the way you present your stance on these false religions. Seventh-Day Adventist are similar to the Jehovah's Witnesses because they both base their false doctrine on their dead founder of the organization.

It's crazy how they say Jehovah and Jesus as if they were two different gods when Jesus is Jehovah Jesus is God in the flesh but they're very unpopular the Jehovah Witnesses in Russia
@NickHawaii27 күн бұрын
Yes they are getting persecuted in Russia because of lies and misinformation. But Jesus said it would be that way. No Jesus isn’t Jehovah. Jehovah is the Most High God. (Psalm 83:18) Jesus is the Son of the Most High. The Son of the highest. (Luke 1:32)

You should know that Jesus is God in the flesh it says in the Bible repeatedly the Bible that has not been altered like Jehovah Witnesses alter the Bible in the beginning was the word (Jesus is the word) the word was with God the Word was God and the word became flesh that's one example another is Jesus healed and only God could heal Jesus forgave sin and only God can forgive sin Jesus raised the dead and only God can raise the Dead and when he corrected the religious people of the day he said something very profound the people who is arguing with lied and said that they had Abraham Jesus told them Abraham rejoice and was glad to see my day they said you weren't even 50 years old and you know Abraham and Jesus said before Abraham was I am in the next chapter they're picking up stones to Stone him to death he asked them for what good deed do you Stone me and they told him none but you make yourself equal with God in other words they're saying you're saying your God

hey brother i was brought up in the JW cult and guess what GOD himself told me it wasnt right for me to stay in that organisation. so i only stayed in there a short time as soon as i turned 18 i left there . they are still made in the image of GOD and satan has blinded there eyes to the truth. when you talk to them again ask them about the scripture where it says JESUS said i am the way the truth the life no one comes to the father or in there case JEHOVAH except through me which is JESUS. and also tell them if they have any historical evidence to show you that JESUS is the angel micheal?

Yeah every time I talk with them they're preaching a new government, a new rulership and a paradise earth. No mention of being sinners or repentance and the need for a Savior.

That is because JWs are WITNESES fulfilling this last days' prophecy. (Matthew 24:14) And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth FOR A WITNESS to all the nations, and then the end will come. JWs do not go around converting anyone.

Agreed that the seeker friendly message is just to get their foot in the door. Any 'thinking person' can see the dark side of this world, so they are presenting the future hope first, to show what is possible when we have Jesus (even though their Jesus cannot save for He is merely a created being according to them) In follow-up visits they will show you that you are a sinner, however they want you to be 'righteous' BEFORE they baptise you. I'm amazed that they have any baptised members, for none are righteous but Christ, and it is His blood (life) that cleanses (covers) us once we are baptised into His death and are raised in newness of life, and no longer walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit of God. That said, I don't totally agree with Ray Comfort's approach either, for he paints God as a punishing God. "God is paying you in death for your sin" Whereas eternal death from the lake of fire is merely the consequence of choosing to sin "For if you eat thereof, you shall surely die"

The trinitarian belief... That god is three persons is also false... Father, son and holy ghost are all tittles our one god holds. Not three separate persons. God is one..!!! Not three... Jesus over and over proclaimed he was and is god from the beginning... If you have seen me you have seen the father.. god was made flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld his glory... Jesus is the glory of God
