JW's a dangerous cult founded by a conman [Russell] and continued by [Rutherford] a dangerous controlling conman and now controlled by 12 controlling conmen and this cult has destroyedmore families and indidvuals and visitied more misery on many
This guy reminds me off the Jewish religious leaders who came and listened to Jesus, missed all the truths because they were so intent on trying to trap him.
The only way they could get Jesus was to either lie, or misconstrue, his words.
Like in the above video.
It must be frustrating to spend so much time attacking the JWs, when they just keep growing with more people getting to know the true Jesus and the only true God, Jehovah
Wow how did they mess up the bible that bad? the 144,000 are the Jews in Jerusaleum that are left behind in the tribultion period who realize Jesus was the true Messiah and not the antichrist who in that time will try to convince all to worship him, they then are sealed with God's mark on thier foreheads to spare them from Gods wrath in the tribulation. Wow Im guessing Satan was having a hey day back in 1914 how utterly devistating.
THis video is like saying the english language in a nutshell then give only the alphabet. It doesn't make much sense unless you learn the whole bible and it takes many, many years of training to learn all those things from the bible HE doesn't benefit anyone by this video, and he is lying a few times on here. We follow Jesus Christ EXACTLY everything Jesus taught we indeed do! WE preach God's name is Jehovah, and his kingdom is coming=Matthew 6:9,10,14:14,28:19,20. Matthew chapter 10, Luke 10
im dating a JW, and SHe is the most amazing human being i ever met, but it was one of the most difficult things i have ever done in my entire life, her parents took away her phone, her car, and said if she want to date me that they would kick her out, and because i loved her i leased an apartment and moved out of my parents house just to be with her, it was a nightmare dealing with her parents, But im not saying everyone is like that.
@junujay Please try to realize her parents are true disciples of Jesus Christ.That means no dating anyone who is not a disciple.AND no sex before the marriage union is legal.1 Corinthians 7:39 says to marry only in the lord.I would saythe thing for you to do if you REALLY want her is to start going to the Kingom Hall,learn about becoming a disciple of Jesus,and BE PATIENT> people go to school for YRS to train and you might have to wait, too for her.Jacob in the bible waited 7 years for his wife!
@junujay Hey Bro, Im sorry about that, all I can say is if you feel this pain, DONT become a JayDub. Hahaha. Do what you believe while making your girl happy. If you feel this then do you really want to become whats causing you this pain? Hahah. Im not some radical religious dude or anything. Im some guy that stumbled on this video and getting some laughs from this here youtube page. My cliche advise to you, Love conquers all, even god. Cheers bro.
@NativeEagle7 You are proud because you believe in nothing?? There are parents to every breathing creature. We all came from the true God, Jehovah, who made us and all things for us. He has it all written down in the bible so we can really learn about him He says people who refuse to acknowledge him are the foolish ones of the world. THE PROOF is all around us=beautiful flowers and trees, bright sun and moon and stars, the sky above and the trees and grass and lush plants all around.AMAZING!! :D
The Mr. Perfect Matt Slick forced a woman he impregnated to get an abortion. He loves talking about it just ask him. What a wonderful thing for a Christian to do. Way to go Slickster!
@AccessDenied55 First of all, we don't SWEAR like you do, we are true, holy disciples of Jesus=Ephesians 3:29 says let a rotten saying not come out of your mouth. AND we know we are on the path of our MASTER=Matthew 7:13-15. Most people are deceived by SATAN=1 John 5:19. Jesus is separating people, the good are sheep, the bad, rebellious are goats=Matthew 25:31-46. WE must preach the truth and help people to learn about Jehovah God and his Kingdom is coming!=Matthew 6:9,10,24;14- Romans 10:13-15
You guys cant even pledge a alligance stating you will be a good citizen. Your our own that country that is free and lets you practice your beliefs, in some countries they are tight laws that make it hard for JW's to practice there beleifs. You guys arent true belivers in god, if you were you would celebrate his Birthday, Christmas. YOUR LIFE IS BEING RULED BY SOME GUYS IN BROOKLYN AND NOT BY GOD THE ALMIGHTY, WHEN WILL YOU GUYS SEE THAT?
@VictorCruz95 friendships are perfectly fine and every jw i know has them, though it is reccomended to have the majority of your friends be jws. As for marriage, you are reccomended only to marry inside the faith however once again I know jws who have married non witnesses and it is certainly not grounds for disfellowshiping, it's just not reccomended.
This is a awesome video and that enough said. Do your research on Charles Russell the founder of this organization. Used the internet for what its worth, for that matter google him. You will find some disturbing things about the founder and several others in there organization. They believe God came here in 1914 and you tell me in Gods word (Bible) its not mention one time. If you are looking for God do your research on this church. In the old testament in Det. 18 : 22 test a prophet.
@headchief91 This video is a JOKE. He lies a few times on here,and doesn't give all the scriptures we use. We know that Jehovah lives in HEAVEN!See how he misrepresents JW's like so many other people on here do??? I think they get some kind of power trip from it. Jesus prophesied about men like him. He said "Be on the watch for the false prophets that come to YOU in sheep's covering, but inside they are ravenous wolves."-Matthew 7:15. WE PREACH the good news about God and his kingdom=Matt.6:9,10
When you test a prophet you are supposed to use the bible, not YOUTUBE or other books CHOCK FULL of lies about us. I tell you MOST TRULY this man is lying, and those things you mentioned about us are not true as well. I've seen some of them, and THEY are the ones that are DISTURBING, HOW THEY lie over and over about us, and act like it's better than the gospel truth! PLEASE do yourself a FAVOR and stop believing their lies.They are so wrong to spread these vicious theories they made up about us!
I love the JW mantra - study more! We'll help and guide you. We'll give you a properly "translated" bible. We'll give you reading material direct from Bethel/Brooklyn (the West Point of Witness Belief). Etc, Etc. Do all of this, come to our meetings, abandon your non-believing friends and family. Welcome to the Truth. Don't attend college, don't be successful in the world, don't be a part of your country. ACTIONS speak louder than words or scripture. I see the words - AVOID at all costs.
@RioAbajoBelen Yeah, it worked for the Israelites. It worked for the early disciples. It's GOOD ENOUGH for Jesus Christ, and YA KNOW WHAT???? It's Quite Good Enough, FOR ME!!! AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! :D The relief, the huge weight of burden of wondering WHAT ON EARTH IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD????? Now I have the facts, I have the truth, I am relieved and feel GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD, oh so very gooooooooooood, you just settle for lies, and complain when others do so well with Jesus and Jehovah!!
@RioAbajoBelen Yeah, your Mom told you to not play in the street, she told you not to eat rotten food, HOPEFULLY! Jehovah God tells us the very best warnings and advice. HOW ON EARTH CAN YOU SCOFF AT YOUR CREATOR LIKE YOU DO. You pick, pick, pickitty pick on everything God has provided. Were you a picky eater, too???? Did you get everything you asked for as a child? You sound so PICKY. God is using imperfect men just like many times before...Noah was good enough....so was Moses...Joshua...etc
@RioAbajoBelen YEAH!!?? And that's exactly why they hated the disciples because they refused to 'GO WITH THE FLOW'.Everyone is on the road to destruction=Matthew 7:13-15.We are the narrow path to LIFE. SO PAY ATTENTION to what Jesus said,pick up your torture stake and follow us the true way. ACTIONS we follow Christ in preaching the word. BECAUSE we are the only ones actually DOING what he said they think we are ODD=Matthew 7:21-23, Matthew chapter 10, Luke chapter 10, Acts 1:8, 5:42, 8:1, 20:20
This should be of Interset to JWs who have to explain how there so-called Bible got to be. If as they say NWT was "Translated fromGreek" then they should know that "kurios" is THE ONLY Greek word translated Lord...and here's the interesting part :"kurios" is translated in the New Testment in 3 ways lord,Lord and also as LORD...you see the JWs claim that the LORD all uppercase has to be "God Almighty" so if "kurios" is all 3 then the "Lord Jesus" is GOD ALMIGHTY in their book too !!! WOW !
YOU CAN'T LEARN THE BIBLE'S PROPHESIES AND MIRACLES IN ONLY 2 WEEKS. IF YOU WOULD LOOK UP THE SCRIPTURES, AND STUDY DEEPER....YOU WOULD THEN UNDERSTAND. MOST PEOPLE WON'T TAKE THE TIME NECESSARY TO GAIN TRUE GODLY WISDOM. IT'S EASIER FOR THEM TO JUST CLAIM IT'S ALL A LIE, AND DEFAME THOSE WHO ACTUALLY ARE FOLLOWING THE BIBLE, WHO ACTUALLY DO THEIR DUE DILIGENCE, AND RESEARCH, RESEARCH,STUDY. WE FOLLOW JESUS. IF YOU'D TAKE THE TIME TO STUDY MORE, YOU WOULD TO. I'M PROUD TO BE A JEHOVAH'S WITNESS!
@eternityandforever Greetings!! You are following an organization that started from a man who had a seventh grade education with no biblical teaching. He studied people like, Henry Grew and George Storr. He was also into studying the pyramids in Egypt. He was a 33rd degree Mason, and was always in court losing his cases. On his "Study in the Scriptue" books, on the front cover is a set of wings from the pegan god of Egypt. He's also a false prophet.
@mvgiles45 WELL, the way you go on about Charles Russel, wait til you hear about MOSES! He was trained in the pagan wisdom of the Egyptians-he grew up in Pharoah's household! AND wait til' you hear about the apostle PAUL,he approved of Stephen's murder=Acts 8:1-3,he even went into the disciples homes,dragging them out and turning them in!! WOA, wait until you hear about other disciples who left off their former ways and turned to Jesus Christ's way of wonderfult TRUTH. WE are in 2011, not 1879.
Speedreycer don't make any sense. I follow Jesus Christ, and I enjoy life the way our Creator and His Son teach us to. I follow the bible. And I do keep my pants on in case you were somehow confused. People say the weirdest things on here.I am for real, though. The "interviewer" is not a true interviewer, he is biased, and smearing the man interviewed.The one interviewed doesn't have a chance. DIG DEEPER AND FIND TRUTH. No instant answers. It takes time to teach the bible, not 5 min. interview.
The more you want the truth, the more you study the bible, then you know JW's is true! Jesus said there is only one path to the truth...READ Matthew 7:13,14, ..."few are the ones finding it." JW's are the only ones following Jesus Christ today. They are obedient to Jesus when he taught his disciples to preach the good news of God's Kingdom. They follow Matthew 6:9,10, keeping God's name hallowed, or holy, using and honoring his Most Holy Name-JEHOVAH. We are witnesses that Jehovah is God!
@SpeedReycer I do enjoy life, more than I've ever enjoyed it. You don't know me, you know nothing about me,really. I have the truth about God, I am a true disciple of Jesus Christ. I know God's REAL name is Jehovah, it can't get any better than this! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! such relief....no more lies from the Catholics, the Baptists, the Evangelists of TV! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! So, So, Very Good, uh huh, YEAH!
@SpeedReycer WHY are you telling me to put my pants on?I love the truth.There's more to life than sex,you know.I like to express my happiness I have been through so much,Satan attacks my life all the time. I love to be a follower of Jesus so much I feel much relief and POWER from God.It is the greatest feeling of freedom and purpose in the world. I LOVE TO HELP PEOPLE LEARN WHAT JESUS WAS REALLY LIKE! I love it and I have no shame in it. It's too bad you don't understand that. It's spiritual :D
@eternityandforever Oh no I understand it just fine. I live life the way I like it! Helping others and letting myself be happy in the process. And I'm telling you to "put your pants back on" because your replies to people are rather energetic and well, crazy. And why would Jesus let Satan attack your life? Hmm? Haha Kidding aside. I live my life happily and love everyone in it, and that's without Jehovah in it. Thanks but no thanks :)
Please remember, we are IMPERFECT humans, teaching God's PERFECT laws and word. Proverbs 4:18,"...the path of the righteous ones is like the bright light that is getting lighter and lighter until the day is firmly established." Daniel 12:4,"...until the time of the end...(true) knowledge will become abundant." 1 Corinthians 13:12,"..we see in hazy outline...but then it will be face to face...then I shall know accurately.." 1 Peter .."we have the prophetic word.."
I have read the Bible clear through, studied it, and met with Jehovah Witnesses every Saturday for 3-4 weeks straight. I gave them two weeks to explain their beliefs to me, and at the end I started to ask them questions. I told them that I had no reservations in staying in my Christian faith if what they said could be proven Scripturally. They agreed, but after I showed them the contradictions and problems with their beliefs, they got mad and left, refusing to look into what I showed them.
This is a very good basic description of the Watchtower Organization. There are many things (mistakes) that have taken place over the last 125 + years that the leadership of this organization would like to keep concealed. After spending over 25 years of my life there I am aware of their tactics. When telling their membership to avoid sites like this the Watchtower Society compares the information presented with pornography. Then they call the presenter apostates.
@torrents4u2c THIS video is all lies! YOU believe this stuff? WE follow the bible. There are so many lies on this video I think they win the CONTEST for the worst video I've seen about Jehovah's Witnesses lying video makers. THEY don't have a CLUE what we believe! They are so off...they really have no merit in most they said about us on here. Only a few things are TRUE, I tell you, the rest is lies,half-truths, twisted up stories, theories about us is all it really truthfully is! SHAME< SHAME
'all lies? Well please, tell us all where the lies are and correct them. Because this is what I have read with my own eyes out of Watchtower books and magazines. You tell us where this video is wrong and I will give you the page number and the book of the WT to find what he is saying.
I read your comments and I think by smearing this site you are trying to protect the Watchtower Society. You know that this video is stating facts and you are screaming lies so no one will listen. By saying lies over and over your are practicing the WTS's version of spiritual warfare. It will not work. This truth you want to hide is now available. If it had been easily available 40 yrs. ago I would not have wasted my life. You must be very afraid. Afraid of the truth.
I am sorry but the ability of JW org to rethink their beliefs other than the core Christian doctrine should be applauded, rigidity is the sign of the feeble minded also i was brought up in the JW org the things said above are not accurate
Why would an omnipotent god "need" anybody to properly represent him on Earth?
Wow, those JW are really nuts, huh? Good thing that evangelical christianity is so sensible; I guess god will just have to cast all those heathens into a lake of fire come the resurrection, huh? Just not the right religion; too bad...
They have lied and cheated so many times that no one whose IQ is higher than that of a penguin believes these losers who deceive people, mock Jesus, spit on God's Word and pretend they are Christians while they are pagans and False Prophets who profaned the Bible shited on the Gospel and keep spreading the Devils Bad News because the only Spirit quiding them is not that of Jehova but the Spirit of Antichrist but let them make fun of themselves for people to see thier detestful ways and lies
Because of listening to the Devil and not rejecting his lies, the first human pair apostatized. So, then, should we listen to apostates, read their literature, or examine their Web sites on the Internet? If we love God and the truth, we will not do so. We should not allow apostates into our homes or even greet them, for such actions would make us ‘sharers in their wicked works.’ (2 John 9-11)
@thirdunion...bro,first off,contractor?...architec?...smh you put gods mysterious spritual,and deep work down to simple,human standards n terms to justify your lack of spirituality and understanding of god as a whole.
I have a friend, who is a pretty good person, until see gets in to her faith about being a Jehovah's witness, and she kind of scares me. Myself as an Anglican, some of the things she said and some of the literature that she has given me is pretty weird. It really proclaims that I and every other denomination is wrong and evil and they are right and true. On top of that she is seems to be sort of constantly looking for the signs of Armageddon.
Looking back at the Test of a Prophet, (Deuteronomy20-22) we see God’s prophet must have 100% accuracy, if they don’t, God inspired word tells us we are not to be frightened, in fact we are told that the “False prophet” must die. I have studied the Watch Tower Bible and Tract society and they have made numerous false prophecies.
Deuteronomy 20 However, the prophet who presumes to speak in my name a word that I have not commanded him to speak or who speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet must die. 21And in case you should say in your heart; “How shall we know the word that Jehovah has not spoken?” 22 When the prophet speaks in the name of Jehovah and the word does not occur or come true, that is the word that Jehovah did not speak. With presumptuousness the prophet spoke it. You must not get frightened at him.
i am not jehovahs witness, but doesnt mean everything they say isnt true. 1 angels not just one created the things of GOD for GOD through GOD as they are HIS messangers and workers ELOHIM (plural),mighty ones. 2 GOD is only one as it is written that there is but one GOD, and one mediator, these are two seperate subjects. 3 GOD throne is in the heavens. 4 Christ will return with his cloud of witness to establish a kingdom for GOD 1000yrs it will take to create GODs glory in all. 5 cease to exist
@detailplus Jesus was the Master Worker, hence he was the first creation by Jehovah, (Proverbs 8:30-31) . . .then I came to be beside him as a master worker, and I came to be the one he was specially fond of day by day, I being glad before him all the time,
Jesus was the worker "contracter" Jehovah was the "architect" in my words
Correction! As a Jehovah's Witness I would like to point out that Jehovah does know all thing past and present. And while not physicly everywhere He is spiritually everywhere through His holy spirit. We do know where He is ruling the universe; in Heaven. Changes and contridictions are made because of things we did not understand until recent study and recognizing our errors. To help better peoples understanding of the bible. Jesus was not crucified on a cross he was nailed to a stake not a cross
@Netherarrow Well I find it comforting that you guys can admitt to your mistakes. Good work. Keep on seeking for the truth. I do acknowledge alot of things you guys teach, but not all. Ibelieve in the 1000yrs reign, Angles making things for GOD,One GOD and Christ as mediator. Interesting
Trinities were probably basically believed because Popes say mostly all other religion doing it, so it must've been a so called "sign" to them about the "nature of God", but it really wasn't, it may sound weird and impossible, because of the Babylonian explanation, but I've felt concluded to this because the pope thought he could combine " Holy" strength if he used other religions in big prayers, was it holy strength, or was it he didn't believe in his faith, and was insecure on who god'd answer
@TheRevenantStudios interesting. There is a book called the mystery of babylon. IT confronts these isues. Started back at with Nimrod ,i think in babylon
Interestingly enough nearly everything you said was true, even more interesting is that everything they believe in is scripturally based!! Go figure!! The scriptures tells us there is One god,one faith and one baptism!! With most "christian" faiths being identical in their major beliefs, the JW's stand alone.Sure the JW's have been wrong in the past with some of their interpretations of the scriptures, but as an imperfect organisation in an imperfect world how could they get it 100% right they
@MrOribear No, your pretty close with Christadelphians. But we could be even more seperated because we dont believe in a fire hell with spooks. They are pagan worship with that of the trinity. BABYLON, Nimrod. James= but man is tempted by his OWN desires, when inticed, handed over to the evil one= fleshly desires and when fully grown =death=seperation from GOD. Keep searching. The problem is when we cant except were wrong=then we cant change. thanks
The JWs themselves put forth the fact that their own literature is not inspired by God -- ask them yourself, and they will give you the same answer. Therefore, anyone who is seeking after literature that IS inspired by God should obviously avoid all JW literature.
@ThirdNUnion A JW told me that the only literature on the planet that is inspired by God is the Bible, and said that we should not rely on any other literature for facts about God.
Strangely, he also tried to convince me to rely on JW literature (not the Bible, and therefore not inspired by God), in order to receive facts about God.
@Purushadasa oh i understand what ur saying, the Bible is the only book inspired by God, the rest of the WT literature is based on the bible, ok yeah correct!
@Purushadasa as jehovahs witness myself we are not saying to not rely on god. our literature is to help people understand the bible even in a better ability. Our literature IS ALWAYS inspired by Jehovah god.
@Vampuricacid Bless your heart. i use to believe JW doctrine so i feel ya. But reality is they DO NOT have the truth! Don't be afraid to open your eyes wider and think things out on your own. I fyou are a JW then you have been (taught) to think the way the founders want you to. Peace my friend from Boise Idaho!
@Vampuricacid you are right as a jehovah witness my self,these people need to pick up a bible and what he says is true how all religion are false and the only true religion is jw.but how can you say were a cult.have you ever been to a meeting before?have u talk to one of the brothers?have you pick up the bible & read it and under stand?or no you just sit their listening to what other people about how were a cult also its 2 meetinga a week.anwser this one question y do u celebrate holidays?
@bleach9661 the only thing wrong he said was "5 meetings a week". Why do jws call people pagan when you jws are pagan too? Why are you encouraged to not read outside publication...when you obviously have been to school? School has outside thinking..so why not remove ur kids from school then? No part of this world means what to jws? what u pick and choose? obviously.
@rhodanageorge No, you are wrong about that: I didn't even mention ecumenism, so that is another of your straw-man logical fallacies.
I did accurately predict that you weren't sincere, and that you were not interested in finding the truth, but that you were only interested in coming back here to argue, and you proved me right on that.
@Purushadasa you wrote in a previous comment that anyone looking for inspired literature should avoid the witnesses. I just wanna know what other literature do you interpretate as inspired and who provides it?
In any case, since the JWs themselves say that their own texts are NOT inspired by God, I will stay away from them, favoring the Bible and other texts that ARE inspired, revealed, and spoken by God.
@rhodanageorge Yes, I do, but it's not my job to name them for you. It's your responsibility to find them yourself, and in the meantime, rely on your Bible since you have already managed to find that one among the many, many, many texts revealed by God....
Jesus said in Matthew 5:14-16, "You are the light of the world. A city cannot be hid when situated upon a mountain. People light a lamp and set it, not under the measuring basket, but upon the lampstand, and it shines upon all those in the house. Likewise let your light shine before men, that they may see your fine works and give glory to your Father who is in the heavens."
If the Bible is just one of the many, many, many texts revealed by God, then why not share the info?
I'm not hiding anything -- it's just not my job or my duty to point out Holy Scriptures to you in explicit detail. I could charge you $50.00 per hour to do your research work, but I doubt you'd agree to my rate.
God has already made them available to everyone on the planet, so if you were sincere, you would go and look.
If you just want to argue, you can continue in the vein that you have been going.
Your choice, but your insincerity will not sway me, nor will it help you to find the truth.
I am not here to argue. I am not insincere either. It is just amazing to hear from somebody about these revelations. At first I thought you simply dislike our literatures because they do not conform to your beliefs. But now I realize you dislike them because they are not inspired whereas there are, as you say, a lot of texts aside from the Bible, that are inspired.
But you would not divulge what these are or where to find it. Really, are you charging for such info?
I doubt your sincerity, but just to pacify your argumentative attitude, I'll let you know where you can find MANY texts that are revealed by God:
See my video, "ONE GOD, MANY FAITHS."
That video does not mention any specific texts, but it names hundreds of different religious traditions. All you need to do is ask the practitioners of some of those religions what scriptures they read, and Bob's yer uncle.
I am truly amazed that I actually had to provide this information for you.
There are a few of God's revealed scriptures listed in that video, but you'll have to look closely to catch them.
If you were sincere, then you would go to some of the practitioners of the faiths listed and ask them about God's revealed scriptures, but I'm sure that you won't do that, and will more likely just come here and argue more.
The JW's themselves state clearly and consistently that their own pamphlets are NOT inspired by God (ask any of them yourself -- don't just take my word on it).
Therefore, it is clear that nobody who is interested in scriptures revealed by or inspired by God should bother with JW pamphlets, and this is in accordance with the JWs' own teachings about their own pamphlets.
There are plenty of texts available that ARE inspired by God, revealed by God, and even spoken by God himself.
No, I did not intend to use what you called a straw-man tactic. I apologize if I made you think I did. Or if I did, with all the topics popping up here at the same time, I am sorry.
Also, I do not like to infringe on your right to reject our study aids. Yes, we never claim their inspiration by God. They stand by merit of their harmony with the entirety of the Bible.
Like you, we believe in the word of God. And we check our faith's conformance to the Bible, in whole, not
only in parts. We do that in groups or personally. We encourage everyone in our faith, even our young, to study on their own because we have nothing to hide, no incongruence to cover.
We read the Bible by itself from cover to cover, on our own, the more times the better. We do not discourage referring to other translations like the KJV or the ASV.
One main reason is every JW is enjoined to preach the good news of the Kingdom and to offer free Bible studies to others.
The JW who may find an interested person to study with would be the one to conduct that study. So everyone needs to study thoroughly and be equipped with the truth.
Despite opposition of the clergy and political groups to the work of JWs, the 5000 preachers in 1914 have now grown to be 7.5 million in 236 lands, everyone learning and teaching a unified set of beliefs.
They have transcended tribes & races & nationalities, and they have became but one 'nation whose God is Jehovah" (Psalm 33:12).
The main theme of the Bible is God's Kingdom. That involves the ransom by Jesus, his destroying wickedness in the time designated by his Father, his being a king and high priest to uplift mankind back to perfection, here on earth, like his Father originally planned for Adam and Eve.
While there is only one main theme in the Bible, there are a lot of topics found in the accounts and letters written by about 40 Bible writers. Where would one start?
That is when we use study aids. It is a tool that helps us systematically cover all the topics found in the Bible.
If something was wrong with the aids then one who has been reading the Bible would eventually find something amiss if there was. We not only give the public our publications but also give free
Bibles to anyone interested, otherwise encourage them to use their own personal Bible to refer to. They would also for sure find something wrong with the aids if there was.
But, ultimately, it is your prerogative.
How about you, Purushhadasa, do you not use study aids in your faith?
Once known as "Pike's Followers", these witnesses have been predicting the end of the world for almost a century, 5 or 6 times now.....they are the most self righteous people you'll ever meet,....It is gross and vulgar what they have done to the work of the Lord and yet they always have an excuse for their abominations,....it is a very niggardly approach to the teachings of the gospel
These JWs are so hated because of their beliefs and neutrality in politics. They have no political lobby or connection. They are banned and persecuted. But look how they thrive. They have covered the whole world. Out of 7.5 million active publishers 80% are non-English speakers. They have fulfilled Matthew 24:14 and Matthew 28:19, 20.
Please tell us a better approach to the teachings of the gospel.
@rhodanageorge ,...Jehovah Witnesses are brainwashed..... a better approach to spreading the gospel?, how about the truth!.... I have no hatred, but a very real contempt for self righteous meglamaniacs who want to advance their agenda at the cost of giving the church a black eye....It obviously does not matter to you that the Jehovah witnesses are the true definition of a cult,...of course it can be hard to see the forest for the trees when you are standing in the middle of deception
These people you are calling a cult are found everywhere in society -at your workplace, school, neighborhood, perhaps one of your relatives is a JW. They do not live detached from the community nor do they live in communes. They are 7.5 million of them (such a multitude of cultists, if ever) in 236 lands and all of them wherever they are ,maintain their political neutrality and do not bear arms against their fellowman. (Imagine how peaceful the world would become if all became
They are not perfect but they pay their taxes; they are many times praised for their honesty and hard work; their kids in school defend creation over evolution; they are highly visible in the community -normal, smiling people -preaching the good news of God's kingdom as per Matthew 24:14 and Matthew 28:19, 20.
They use God’s name Jehovah (Ex. 6:3, Ps. 83:18) and they believe that Jesus is God’s Son and the sole way to salvation (John 3:17; John 14:6).
They base their beliefs only on the Bible –not in human traditions, philosophies, or superstitions (2 Tim. 3:16).
Their Kingdom Halls are open to everyone and their worship is not pompous and ritualistic; they do not use idols and do not repeat prayers; they do not make collections and their evangelizers are not paid –in fact everyone is enjoined to evangelize as there is no clergy-laity division. Everyone is encouraged to read their Bible from cover to cover -the more
@rhodanageorge ....Any "so-called" Christian movement that denies the existence of a literal hell is quite frankly living in a fantasy world. This same fantasy world is responsible for their continual predictions for the end of the world......You are greatly confused if you believe Jehovah Witnesses have anything to do with the work of Jesus Christ,......You are doing Satan's work and justify it with your own self righteousness....MEGALOMANIA
Oh my, you also believe in hellfire? What ever happened to the God of love (1 John 4:16), and God justice (Deuteronomy 32:4)? Are you telling me He tortures bag guys forever and ever and ever, for sinning just a lifetime of 80 years? Even human justice requires proportionate punishment. Human justice does not even allow prolonged agony of a criminal in execution. Where is your God of mercy (Ex. 34:6, 7)? You must be worshipping another god.
"these translations are using the KJV as their guide"?
"Charles Russell perjured himself"?
What are you talking about? I could only smile here because I see how you keep on making unsubstantiated comments and claims.
First, modern Bible translators do not use the KJV as their guide in their translations, with its archaic words and use of old English as language. That is not how translators do their work. They may compare with it but not base on it. (No, please, we do
@rhodanageorge .... SMILE ABOUT THIS,......In 1912 Rev. J.J. Ross spoke out against Russell in his writings,....Russell promptly sued the Baptist minister and it ended up in court with Russell claiming to be able to read Greek, a lie, Russell also claimed to be an ordained minister, another lie..... Once again you talk all day long and say nothing
2) An what “contradiction to the words of Jesus Christ” are you talking about?
And why do you keep on making personal attacks on Charles Russell. The man is not perfect, unlike the infallible pope. (This is not as if I believe anything you claimed about him.)
But whatever he did, he was my brother. He is not my master, though.
Jehovah is my God, Jesus His son is my savior, and the holy spirit is Jehovah’s power that He imparts on me.
Because when they translated the KJV from 1604 to 1611, the translators had fewer copies of the original Hebrew and Greek manuscripts to compare the translation from. But nowadays, thanks to archaeology, there are thousands of original manuscripts available to base a Bible translation on.
That is why modern translations, not only the NWT, have better prospects of being made accurate as to grammar, and against omissions and false
insertions like in 1 John 5:7. There the KJV says, “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.”
This is a false insertion technically known as “Johannine Comma”, made by a desperate trinitarian in the 4th century.
Modern translations are unanimous in rendering 1 John 5:7&8 as, “For there are three witness bearers, the spirit and the water and the blood, and the three are in agreement.”
You may please give us your comment on the KJV and 'Johannine Comma'.
As for your personal attack on Charles Russell perjuring himself; please substantiate your claim. Another hearsay?
No matter, from the 1870’s down to the present, certain men have made outstanding contributions to the advancement of the Kingdom preaching work, men such as Charles T. Russell, Joseph F. Rutherford, Nathan H. Knorr, and Frederick W. Franz, as well as others. But in no way have JWs
@rhodanageorge... Charles Russell perjured himself by testifying under oath that he could read and comprehend the original Greek manuscripts that we get our KJV from, this was a lie he had to admit in court under further testimony....He also lied about being an "ordained" minister, this proved to be a lie too...... One lie after another, this defines Jehovah Witnesses and frankly you just talk in circles and never address the weightier issues of the matter....
become a sect built around the personalities of any of these men.
Instead, they have but one leader, “the Christ.” (Matt. 23:10) He is the Head of these organized Witnesses of Jehovah, the one to whom “all authority has been given” for directing this work “all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.” (Matt. 28:18-20) They are determined to submit to Christ’s headship, keep close to God’s Word, and cooperate with the leading of the holy spirit, that they
may continue moving ahead in the worship of the only true God and in proving themselves to be “a people peculiarly his own, zealous for fine works” (Titus 2:14), “a people for his name” (Acts 15:13-17).
@rhodanageorge WHY CAN'T YOU CONFRONT ME ON THE ISSUE OF JEHOVAH WITNESSES PREDICTING THE END OF THE WORLD HALF A DOZEN TIMES......BECAUSE THEN YOU WOULD HAVE TO ADMIT WHAT A BUNCH OF CRACKPOTS YOU IDIOTS ARE
Let us just talk about beliefs. There is no need to confront. Your heart is overflowing with hatred and contempt.
Sorry if you think we are a bunch of crackpots and idiots...with capital letters.
But twice I asked you and I ask again:
1) Back up your claim that JWs said the world was coming to an end on a particular day, 6 times now since 1914, in direct contradiction to the words of Jesus Christ.
@rhodanageorge ....These are the dates beginning with Charles Russell's first predictions , 1914 end of the world...1917 prediction of rebirth of Israel,....1918 their new math failed them again,...1925 end of the world ,... 1953, David Davidson end of world prediction,... 1957 Watchtower reported Armegeddon to occur in April of that year,...and the list goes on,1957-1960-1967-1975-1979-1981, everything predicted by Jehovah witnesses NEVER CAME TRUE...so what exactly are you defending?
You keep on saying ours is a religion that contradicts 'the very words of Christ', but will not say what these very words of Christ that were contradicted are.
I also asked you to back up your claim that JWs said the world was coming to an end on a particular day, 6 times now since 1914, but what you give are futher unsubstantiated claims.
Are you sober? Are you a priest?
And what 'heresy of a religion' are you talking about? Are you an inquisitor?
And who is the Rev. J.J. Ross? Was he ever the army chaplain that blest troops and weapons on their way to Europe during WWI? Or was he the Rev. J.J. Ross in Germany that told the Kaiser soldiers they were doing God’s will in killing other Christian soldiers because they were Americans or British or French?
I do not talk about my faith based on Bro. Russell’s greatness or failure.
I talk about my faith based on the truth found in the Bible.
No need for you to explain if Constantine was a pagan or not, or who among the popes were good or wicked. No need to explain about indulgences, the inquisition, the trial of Galileo, the holy crusades, who stood by during the Holocaust, 94 papal mea culpas, the widespread child abuse and cover-up by the clergy (and the pope?)
But you want to talk about perjury and half a dozen wrong expectations.
Let us talk instead about our faiths and beliefs and their basis from the Scriptures.
It is with faith, true faith, that we gain salvation (1 Peter 1:9). You agree?
And there is a lot of interesting Bible topics to discuss like the trinity, predestination, hellfire, immortality of the soul, resurrection, evolution, ecumenism, etc.
@rhodanageorge Just can't bring yourself to confront the heresy of a religion that contradicts the very words of Christ can you?.......A religion you embrace, but cannot or will not confront.....sad, very sad...I've wasted enough time with you,.....
@rhodanageorge ...Better yet , what is your opinion of a so called Christian people who have said the world was coming to an end on a particular day, 6 times now since 1914, in direct contradiction to the words of Jesus Christ.....Jehovah Witnesses are truly one messed up bunch of people and you defend them, you are quite the loyal slave.....LOOK UP THE WORD MEGLAMANIA, IT DEFINES THE VERY ESSENCE OF THE JEHOVAH WITNESSES....
If you call JWs a cult because they do not conform to the beliefs of the mainstream religions like yours, then it is up to you.
The early Christians themselves were called a sect that everyone spoke against (Acts 28:22); just like these defenseless people that most of you, unfortunately, are ganging up on.
@rhodanageorge .....you have conveniently avoided the crux of my statements concerning Jehovah Witnesses declaring the end of the world 6 times in the past. This alone ought to reveal to anyone with a grain of critical thinking just what the Jehovah Witnesses are......megalomania, sorry left out the o
@rhodanageorge....Times are better??...the reason there are so many "new" translations of the King James Version is strictly because there is a lot of money to be made in doing so and these translations are using the KJV as their guide.... Christ also warned in the end people with itching ears would gather to themselves all forms of heresy.......The founder of your cult a Charles Russell perjured himself in a trial which he instigated.....What you believe is purely superstition
Genesis 1: Let US make man in OUR image. Yeah, definitely no trinity, you're right crazyjonah :) Oh wait, you don't even have a real bible, just a crazy j-dubs one...so you wouldn't really know what Genesis 1 says now would you. You realize that FORMER J-dubs who were on the "Governing Body" openly criticize that translation right...and there's a reason that they are FORMER j-dubs. AND, I will mock false prophets and heretics all day, Elijah did, and Jesus did it pretty consistently as well.
@jsheahan08 Which bible translation are you reading because there are many, and yes if you are reading it in English it is a translation and not the "real " bible as you say. Unless you are reading a Hebrew or Greek one yours is not the real one either.
I dont support any organized religion Jesus did say the kingdom of heaven is within you! JW r freemason influenced, support Jesuits (read about the word amen a Jesuit came up with that!) the egyptian god was amen-ra. israel is is(isis)-ra(amen-ra) el(eloheim).I have never been personally shunned by them
@ServantofGod14 - I hope I have brought out some interesting points for you my friend, even if you completely disagree. Above all Jehovah's witnesses submit to what the BIBLE teaches, not the teachings of any earthly group. Upon analysis and in-depth study perhaps you will find that "the Watchtower" tells things a LOT closer to what the bible teaches than any other religious organization. Of course mistakes are made, we are all imperfect.
@crazyjonah The fact that they dont believe that Jesus Christ is Lord & God is enough to tell that the organisation is not a Christian one, because this is what it means to be called a Christian. People who believed in God before Christ came were called Jews but after the crucifixion & resurection of Christ, all had to reach God through Faith that Jesus is who he is and is the only way to be righteous, these people are called Christians. So Jehovah's witness dont submit to what the Bible teaches
@mahwajuly86 It is true that JW's do not believe Jesus is the Almighty God. Jesus is God's son. Scriptures such as Mark 30:32, Matthew 20:20-23, 1cor 11:3 (among countless others) demonstrate that Jesus is /not/ God, therefore JW's reject the trinity considering it to be a pagan teaching. JW's however both accept Christ as saviour and strive to imitate his earthly life. How then is it rational to say JW's are not christian just because they don't believe in the trinity?
@crazyjonah A christian is one who believes in his Divinity, you also follow what He said about himself. From the little contact I have had with the JWs, I noticed that most of you understand God's son as the child of God, i.e. its literal meaning. How does your organization explain the term "Son of Man"? And how come you only want to apply your meaning of "begotten" only when it applies to Jesus but not to Isaac, son of Abraham? Surely Isaac had siblings but he was called the begotten son.
@mahwajuly86 I think you are perhaps reading too much into both these terms. "Son of Man" simply mean he was a son of humans, in that he was born to a fleshly mother on earth. It's not "begotten" that implies an only child but "ONLY begotten". I thought that was obvious. To beget just means to produce or to procreate according to the dictionary.
@crazyjonah You see thats the problem, your Bible is different from ours. Many things in your Bible have been changed to suit your explainations. 1st of all, in our Bible, there is no Mark 30 and the Scripture from Mathew 20:20-23 is irrelevant to this issue. But its evident that this could be different in your Bible. The phrase "only begotten" translates the Greek word monogenes which has 2 meanings: 1st is "pertaining to being the only one of its kind within a specific relationship"
@crazyjonah So your rejection of the Divinity of Christ is based on your misconception of this Scripture? Why not examine Scriptures which directly tell us who Christ is, e.g. John 13:13-14 (Jesus said it himself). I hope you realize that I dont just want to discuss this with you for the sake of Winning or critisizing your religion but I want you to know the truth so that it will set you free. Look at Romans 10:9 and John 8:24
No one can be given Salvation without believing that Jesus is God.
@mahwajuly86 Naturally, I think I may have the right of the matter. But my attitude is the same as yours. It is not about proving who is right but making sure that both of us are indeed on the road to life. If you would like, please contact me at the email address I gave and give your arguments for the trinity and I will give my arguments against. I find it very difficult to follow what is going on here, and would love for you to compile all these scriptures into an email.
@crazyjonah The 2nd is: "pertaining to being the only one of its kind or class, unique in kind". This is according to the Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature (BAGD, 3rd Edition). John is the only New Testament writer who uses this word in reference to Jesus. Scriptures from our Bible (your Bible might be different) are John 1:1-5 & 14, John 14:8-11 (When Philip also thought Jesus wasn't God), John 20:28-29, Isaiah 9:6, Daniel 7:13, 14 & Luke 21:27
@mahwajuly86@mahwajuly86 You've actually failed to make any discernible point. You are still confusing "begotten" and "only begotten". You will find the main change in the new world translation is the restoration of the divine name. I studied the king james extensively, long before I even knew of the new world translation. You may be interested to know that the new world translation is only published by JW's not written by them. JW's haven't changed a thing to support their beliefs.
@crazyjonah Why do you think I'm confusing the "Only begotten"and "begotten"? I told you that the Phraise "Only Begotten" is a translation of "monogenes" from Greek. I dont honestly understand your accusation. So whoelse publishes this Bible version, I mean other than the JWs? Trust me, many things are changed. Fo example, compare your version of John 1:1 and that from any other Bible. Your version says "...the Word was A GOD". And still you claim there is only one God!
@mahwajuly86 divine beings can be referred to as gods in the bible. Satan is referred to as "the god of this system of things". From that perspective there ARE several gods. Yes, Jesus is also referred to as a god. I think we will have to agree to disagree here, to avoid a scene. But please keep an open mind about the trinity. I have done no less for many years. I have found it to be both illogical, and consider it a falsehood which actually promotes idolatry.

I have read the Bible clear through, studied it, and met with Jehovah Witnesses every Saturday for 3-4 weeks straight. I gave them two weeks to explain their beliefs to me, and at the end I started to ask them questions. I told them that I had no reservations in staying in my Christian faith if what they said could be proven Scripturally. They agreed, but after I showed them the contradictions and problems with their beliefs, they got mad and left, refusing to look into what I showed them.

This is a very good basic description of the Watchtower Organization. There are many things (mistakes) that have taken place over the last 125 + years that the leadership of this organization would like to keep concealed. After spending over 25 years of my life there I am aware of their tactics. When telling their membership to avoid sites like this the Watchtower Society compares the information presented with pornography. Then they call the presenter apostates.

Because of listening to the Devil and not rejecting his lies, the first human pair apostatized. So, then, should we listen to apostates, read their literature, or examine their Web sites on the Internet? If we love God and the truth, we will not do so. We should not allow apostates into our homes or even greet them, for such actions would make us ‘sharers in their wicked works.’ (2 John 9-11)

Looking back at the Test of a Prophet, (Deuteronomy20-22) we see God’s prophet must have 100% accuracy, if they don’t, God inspired word tells us we are not to be frightened, in fact we are told that the “False prophet” must die.

I doubt your sincerity, but just to pacify your argumentative attitude, I'll let you know where you can find MANY texts that are revealed by God:
See my video, "ONE GOD, MANY FAITHS."
That video does not mention any specific texts, but it names hundreds of different religious traditions. All you need to do is ask the practitioners of some of those religions what scriptures they read, and Bob's yer uncle.
I am truly amazed that I actually had to provide this information for you.
Purushadasa 1 year ago
Quick correction:
There are a few of God's revealed scriptures listed in that video, but you'll have to look closely to catch them.
If you were sincere, then you would go to some of the practitioners of the faiths listed and ask them about God's revealed scriptures, but I'm sure that you won't do that, and will more likely just come here and argue more.
In any case, God bless you -- I wish you well.

CONCLUSION:
The JW's themselves state clearly and consistently that their own pamphlets are NOT inspired by God (ask any of them yourself -- don't just take my word on it).
Therefore, it is clear that nobody who is interested in scriptures revealed by or inspired by God should bother with JW pamphlets, and this is in accordance with the JWs' own teachings about their own pamphlets.
There are plenty of texts available that ARE inspired by God, revealed by God, and even spoken by God himself.

@rhodanageorge ....These are the dates beginning with Charles Russell's first predictions , 1914 end of the world...1917 prediction of rebirth of Israel,....1918 their new math failed them again,...1925 end of the world ,... 1953, David Davidson end of world prediction,... 1957 Watchtower reported Armegeddon to occur in April of that year,...and the list goes on,1957-1960-1967-1975-1979-1981, everything predicted by Jehovah witnesses NEVER CAME TRUE...so what exactly are you defending?

You keep on saying ours is a religion that contradicts 'the very words of Christ', but will not say what these very words of Christ that were contradicted are.
I also asked you to back up your claim that JWs said the world was coming to an end on a particular day, 6 times now since 1914, but what you give are futher unsubstantiated claims.
Are you sober? Are you a priest?
And what 'heresy of a religion' are you talking about? Are you an inquisitor?

And who is the Rev. J.J. Ross? Was he ever the army chaplain that blest troops and weapons on their way to Europe during WWI? Or was he the Rev. J.J. Ross in Germany that told the Kaiser soldiers they were doing God’s will in killing other Christian soldiers because they were Americans or British or French?
I do not talk about my faith based on Bro. Russell’s greatness or failure.
I talk about my faith based on the truth found in the Bible.
Better do the same.

No need for you to explain if Constantine was a pagan or not, or who among the popes were good or wicked. No need to explain about indulgences, the inquisition, the trial of Galileo, the holy crusades, who stood by during the Holocaust, 94 papal mea culpas, the widespread child abuse and cover-up by the clergy (and the pope?)
But you want to talk about perjury and half a dozen wrong expectations.

Let us talk instead about our faiths and beliefs and their basis from the Scriptures.
It is with faith, true faith, that we gain salvation (1 Peter 1:9). You agree?
And there is a lot of interesting Bible topics to discuss like the trinity, predestination, hellfire, immortality of the soul, resurrection, evolution, ecumenism, etc.

@rhodanageorge Just can't bring yourself to confront the heresy of a religion that contradicts the very words of Christ can you?.......A religion you embrace, but cannot or will not confront.....sad, very sad...I've wasted enough time with you,.....

@rhodanageorge ...Better yet , what is your opinion of a so called Christian people who have said the world was coming to an end on a particular day, 6 times now since 1914, in direct contradiction to the words of Jesus Christ.....Jehovah Witnesses are truly one messed up bunch of people and you defend them, you are quite the loyal slave.....LOOK UP THE WORD MEGLAMANIA, IT DEFINES THE VERY ESSENCE OF THE JEHOVAH WITNESSES....

times, the better; and they do not discourage the reading of other Bible translations like the KJV.
Now, how could you call JWs a cult, @purpleskycalm?
If you call JWs a cult because they do not conform to the beliefs of the mainstream religions like yours, then it is up to you.
The early Christians themselves were called a sect that everyone spoke against (Acts 28:22); just like these defenseless people that most of you, unfortunately, are ganging up on.

@rhodanageorge .....you have conveniently avoided the crux of my statements concerning Jehovah Witnesses declaring the end of the world 6 times in the past. This alone ought to reveal to anyone with a grain of critical thinking just what the Jehovah Witnesses are......megalomania, sorry left out the o

@purpleskycalm 1
First, I just had to correct your church’s definition of a ‘cult’.
Second, I had to correct your spelling of ‘megalomania’.
Now, the accuracy of your definition of the word is also suspect.
Why don’t you educate your readers about the definition and why you applied it to JWs?
Are you spreading hearsays?

@rhodanageorge....Times are better??...the reason there are so many "new" translations of the King James Version is strictly because there is a lot of money to be made in doing so and these translations are using the KJV as their guide.... Christ also warned in the end people with itching ears would gather to themselves all forms of heresy.......The founder of your cult a Charles Russell perjured himself in a trial which he instigated.....What you believe is purely superstition

Genesis 1: Let US make man in OUR image. Yeah, definitely no trinity, you're right crazyjonah :) Oh wait, you don't even have a real bible, just a crazy j-dubs one...so you wouldn't really know what Genesis 1 says now would you. You realize that FORMER J-dubs who were on the "Governing Body" openly criticize that translation right...and there's a reason that they are FORMER j-dubs. AND, I will mock false prophets and heretics all day, Elijah did, and Jesus did it pretty consistently as well.

@jsheahan08 Which bible translation are you reading because there are many, and yes if you are reading it in English it is a translation and not the "real " bible as you say. Unless you are reading a Hebrew or Greek one yours is not the real one either.

@ServantofGod14 - I hope I have brought out some interesting points for you my friend, even if you completely disagree. Above all Jehovah's witnesses submit to what the BIBLE teaches, not the teachings of any earthly group. Upon analysis and in-depth study perhaps you will find that "the Watchtower" tells things a LOT closer to what the bible teaches than any other religious organization. Of course mistakes are made, we are all imperfect.
crazyjonah 1 year ago
@crazyjonah The fact that they dont believe that Jesus Christ is Lord & God is enough to tell that the organisation is not a Christian one, because this is what it means to be called a Christian. People who believed in God before Christ came were called Jews but after the crucifixion & resurection of Christ, all had to reach God through Faith that Jesus is who he is and is the only way to be righteous, these people are called Christians. So Jehovah's witness dont submit to what the Bible teaches
mahwajuly86 1 year ago
@mahwajuly86 It is true that JW's do not believe Jesus is the Almighty God. Jesus is God's son. Scriptures such as Mark 30:32, Matthew 20:20-23, 1cor 11:3 (among countless others) demonstrate that Jesus is /not/ God, therefore JW's reject the trinity considering it to be a pagan teaching. JW's however both accept Christ as saviour and strive to imitate his earthly life. How then is it rational to say JW's are not christian just because they don't believe in the trinity?
crazyjonah 1 year ago
@crazyjonah A christian is one who believes in his Divinity, you also follow what He said about himself. From the little contact I have had with the JWs, I noticed that most of you understand God's son as the child of God, i.e. its literal meaning. How does your organization explain the term "Son of Man"? And how come you only want to apply your meaning of "begotten" only when it applies to Jesus but not to Isaac, son of Abraham? Surely Isaac had siblings but he was called the begotten son.
mahwajuly86 1 year ago
@mahwajuly86 I think you are perhaps reading too much into both these terms. "Son of Man" simply mean he was a son of humans, in that he was born to a fleshly mother on earth. It's not "begotten" that implies an only child but "ONLY begotten". I thought that was obvious. To beget just means to produce or to procreate according to the dictionary.
crazyjonah 1 year ago
@crazyjonah You see thats the problem, your Bible is different from ours. Many things in your Bible have been changed to suit your explainations. 1st of all, in our Bible, there is no Mark 30 and the Scripture from Mathew 20:20-23 is irrelevant to this issue. But its evident that this could be different in your Bible. The phrase "only begotten" translates the Greek word monogenes which has 2 meanings: 1st is "pertaining to being the only one of its kind within a specific relationship"

@crazyjonah So your rejection of the Divinity of Christ is based on your misconception of this Scripture? Why not examine Scriptures which directly tell us who Christ is, e.g. John 13:13-14 (Jesus said it himself). I hope you realize that I dont just want to discuss this with you for the sake of Winning or critisizing your religion but I want you to know the truth so that it will set you free. Look at Romans 10:9 and John 8:24
No one can be given Salvation without believing that Jesus is God.
mahwajuly86 1 year ago
@mahwajuly86 Naturally, I think I may have the right of the matter. But my attitude is the same as yours. It is not about proving who is right but making sure that both of us are indeed on the road to life. If you would like, please contact me at the email address I gave and give your arguments for the trinity and I will give my arguments against. I find it very difficult to follow what is going on here, and would love for you to compile all these scriptures into an email.
crazyjonah 1 year ago
@crazyjonah The 2nd is: "pertaining to being the only one of its kind or class, unique in kind". This is according to the Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature (BAGD, 3rd Edition). John is the only New Testament writer who uses this word in reference to Jesus. Scriptures from our Bible (your Bible might be different) are John 1:1-5 & 14, John 14:8-11 (When Philip also thought Jesus wasn't God), John 20:28-29, Isaiah 9:6, Daniel 7:13, 14 & Luke 21:27

@mahwajuly86 @mahwajuly86 You've actually failed to make any discernible point. You are still confusing "begotten" and "only begotten". You will find the main change in the new world translation is the restoration of the divine name. I studied the king james extensively, long before I even knew of the new world translation. You may be interested to know that the new world translation is only published by JW's not written by them. JW's haven't changed a thing to support their beliefs.
crazyjonah 1 year ago
@crazyjonah Why do you think I'm confusing the "Only begotten"and "begotten"? I told you that the Phraise "Only Begotten" is a translation of "monogenes" from Greek. I dont honestly understand your accusation. So whoelse publishes this Bible version, I mean other than the JWs? Trust me, many things are changed. Fo example, compare your version of John 1:1 and that from any other Bible. Your version says "...the Word was A GOD". And still you claim there is only one God!
mahwajuly86 1 year ago
@mahwajuly86 divine beings can be referred to as gods in the bible. Satan is referred to as "the god of this system of things". From that perspective there ARE several gods. Yes, Jesus is also referred to as a god. I think we will have to agree to disagree here, to avoid a scene. But please keep an open mind about the trinity. I have done no less for many years. I have found it to be both illogical, and consider it a falsehood which actually promotes idolatry.
