This man who made this video is not accurate. Moses led God's people in ancient times. The disciples lead people to accurate knowledge back in Jesus' day=Matthew chap.10. The apostle Paul and older men led the early Christian congregation. The bible says in the time of the end, true knowledge would become abundant=Daniel 12:4. Acts 1:8-Jesus says he will be with us to preach worldwide-Matthew 24:14,28:19,20. We are preaching God's name=Jehovah, and God's kingdom soon to come!-Matthew 6:9,10 :D
A witness is someone that has seen an event or has direct involvement. Therefore How can you be a witness to Jehovah(Yehoshuah)if you have never seen him? The ONLY one that we can be a witness to is Christ. Why? Because when we get baptized into Jesus Christ we receive the Holy Ghost - which is Christ. Therefore, I can be a witness to the resurrection because I am a partaker of the resurrection life as Christ is in me. I possess resurrection life I am a true witness to the resurrection of Christ
Wow!!!!! This guy just doesn't know much about Jehovah's Witnesses! We are striving to get saved.We follow Jesus, we feel we are God's people and we are enduring to God's kingdom. Matthew 24:13, "But he that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved." We cannot possibly 100% certainty know that we are saved util the end. OUR hope is in Jesus, proclaiming Jehovah's name and God's Kingdom come to earth soon.Matthew 6:9,10,we keep God's name hallowed, or holy-It's Jehovah the true God
Heb. 10:26, 27, RS: If we sin deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful prospect of judgment, and a fury of fire which will consume the adversaries
Phil. 2:12, RS: As you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. (This was addressed to the saints, or holy ones, at Philippi, as stated in Philippians 1:1. Paul urged them not to be overly confident but to realize that their final salvation was not yet assured.)
it does say the father AND the son AND the holy spirit. three different things. jesus prayed to his father. not himself. holy spirit was poured out upon jesus after baptism. how can you pour out yourself. showing it is not all one. many scriptures prove this fact. the trinity is not a bible teaching
Mt 24:13 But he that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved..... Stop teaching people that they are already saved, the Bible never asure anyone about this, only when Jesus come he will decide it, not you.....
Jehovah's Wit teach people to start salvation need to Baptize and keep doing well in orther to receive salvation when Jesus come and invite to enter his kingdom, is more humble than you are saying here, don't be a deceiver of others with your arguments without biblical support
Hey Sir, I saw your video and I tell you, you are wrong, Because when Jesus come he will separate people for left and right side and you already went to right side by your self, perhaps Jesus say you to go to the Left because he is the Judge, not you
@logan500 You might be right,Just have to remember,Jesus is God,He wasnt created,hes not a created bieng.Where does it say in the bible that then God created Jesus.Jesus is Jehovahs manifestation in Flesh.Thats why the jws meetings are so without spirit,they have no relationship with jesus.Its so empty,like reading a book.God has to be seen in your Heart not in your Eyes,And hes already there,hes Jesus christ,have a look,hes waiting for you!
Hi, I just got around to watching this. I like this message. One of the scriptures I never remember reading or hearing at the kingdom hall is Epp.2:8-10, the reason is because JWs are a works based religion. True Christianity as you know is Grace based. One person puts it this way: Religion says "Do" and true Christianity says "done". It's pleasing to know that Christ paid the price and did all the "doing" Having faith in him is what it's all about. Good Job on your video!
JWs believe they are "in line" for Jesus' hope, the word "saved" is simple but doesn't describe anything. Jesus' said, "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come." It is a warning to be aware of your salvation, it can be at risk at all times up until the end.
I carry the New World Translation and I know it isn't misconstrued. So it holds the word of God, right? Having been given this gift shows me that, as long as I pursue this ethical understanding of God and His purpose for humanity, those who follow up on the same path are saved.
U'r vid is misleading. Any JW knows that. We've never considered the belief that people think their going to heaven as 'comical'. It's sad, not comical. No JW's going to respond to u'r saved ? (you mean 'born again', saved is misleading to your audience and is a deceptive ploy), in a noncommital way; We and you, know, the anointed are 'born again' and the 'great crowd' are not, since they do not have a heavenly hope. You constantly demand, through your misleadings clarification. Changed have u?
Also consider our original ancestors were they not perfect and sinless at their creation Genesis1:26-28.And from this original'state of grace' did they not fall into destruction genesis3:22,23,also the angel who made himself satan.Was he not also at one time in a state of holiness ezekiel28:13-15
The 'great crowd' are before the throne of God and they say, "SALVATION we owe to our God, who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb." This is after Armageddon. They are saved only after that. Notice the 144000 are in the midst of the throne. Who are these guys anyway? Are they you and your buddies? In heaven? And who are these dudes before the throne. I know that it is a complicated Protestant theology so you don't really need to elaborate on that.
deuteronomy6:5ASV"and thou shalt love JEHOVAH thy God with all thy heart,and with all thy soul,and with all thy might."This is the issue,please note that in our Lord's model prayer at matthew6:9,10 that the main concerns of a true worshiper is not his salvation or even his daily bread.But the sanctification of jehovah's holy name and the upholding of his rightful/righteous sovereignty,make these things your chief concerns and Jehovah will see to your salvation through Jesus Christ our lord
Re:21crosscheck21,the stated mission;Luke4:43NASB:But he said to them,"I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also,for I was sent forth for this purpose"yes the salvation of fellow humans was an important part of his mission but it was not the main objective.Psalm37:11 states that the new earth is characterized by abundance of peace.this is so because it is peopled by those exclusively devoted to Jehovah and not themselves.
The simple truth is that the question: Why did Jesus come? is clearly answered in scripture so that even the newest babe in Christ could understand. He came to save sinners.
God is glorified in the salvation of his people, and the punishment of his enemies.
Jehovah is glorified in the righteousness and goodness of his people.john13:35,Isaiah2:3-5 that is why repentance and conversion must proceed salvation.Luke13:3,matthew3:2,The sorrow we are being urged to feel is not over our just punishment but over our disobedience to Jehovah's rightful rulership.and our blaspheming of his holy name.Daniel9:7-11
no that would not be fair.for their is nothing that I can do to earn my salvation.But our lord lovingly warns us that we must stay awake lest we lose this precious gift,mark13:33-37,revelation2:5,revelation16:15.Think of it this way.I give you a brand new Mercedes you have not indeed you could not have earned it.You drive recklessly and crash it.Assuming you survive am I obligated to give you another.A gift can be lost especially if we are unapreciative.
It is not what is done its why its done if you appreciate the gift you would love the giver,and it is this love that should motivate your eager obedience,1John5:3 likewise when our love grows cold we then become in danger of being overcome by satan,and losing our relationship with Jehovah God and his Christ Revelation2:4,5.That is why we are urged at James4:8 to purify our hearts.Our motives must be pure in serving Jehovah and his son
Obedience to Jehovah God and his Christ motivated by love and faith brings us Their approval James2:20,1John5:3 but to remain in this approved state keep purifying our hearts with Jehovah's help Hebrews3:12
So what is your opinion... do Jws know that they are saved..... or is it impossible for them to know because they have yet to reach the end of the race.....
Re:21crosschecked21,do jws know;A faithful witness of Jehovah and Christ is in a divinely approved state but to remain thus they must keep purifying their hearts with Jehovah's help hebrews3:12,henrews10:26-29 these and similar warnings scattered throughout the scriptures would be pointless if upon our initial conversion our hearts instantly became incorruptible.
for the self-deceived such warnings would be useless.Note the one at hebrews3:12 it speaks of a falling away from the living God,the one at revelation2:4,5 it warns of leaving your first love and urges repentance with the prospect that it might yet be regained.clearly a heart that was once pure can become corrupted,and those who are not alive to this fact are deceiving themselves 1corinthians15:33
Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you-- unless indeed you fail the test?
The one truly devoted to Jehovah serves him not for the sake of any future gain,but because as the source of our present existence and all that is necessary to sustain and make it joyful he is worthy of our eager and joyful obedience.acts14:16,17,revelation4:11.Even if there was no pledge of eternal life,there could be no better way to spend a lifetime than in the service of our glorious God and king the lord Jehovah.
Amen to that..... but the point of the video stands. It is better to know that you are saved.
I still wait for a single jw to step up to the biblical plate and explain how it is that John states that you can 'Know" you are saved... in light of what the wt teaches.
Re:21Crosscheck21;Then perhaps you need to read 1corinthians4:4,5 again.what one can be confident of is one's present standing if after testing oneself one is found faithful,2corinthians13:5.That is the only guarantee the scriptures give us and it is more than sufficient for one who is truly Devoted to Jehovah and not oneself.Frankly the elevation of ones salvation over the sanctification of Jehovah's name and the upholding of his rulership,strikes me as borderline idolatry.
Interesting how you refuse to deal with the passage from John... I will accept that as your admission of defeat...
And please do not misrepresent me.... I have never elevated the gift above the giver... I made an entire video about that... to say otherwise is false witness on your part my friend....
The point of the video... it is better to know you are saved than to be left wondering...
Defendingywhw says he knows he is saved... even 20 years from now
It is just that it seems that the emphasis of most of the churches of Christendom is on the salvation of creatures I can't know what is any one's heart.I was dealing with the apparent slant of your message.Which scripture are you referring to.
You do realize that all the promises and blessings of the bible apply only to the redeemed right....even right understanding is reserved for the redeemed..
All men... even the wicked will sanctify Gods name in the end... albeit in differing ways... it will be sanctified all the same.
Jesus came to seek and save the lost... that is why he is called Savior... big subject but ultimately all things to the Glory of God, first and foremost.
Re:21crosscheck21,1john5:13; 1John5:13NASB"These things I have written to you who BELIEVE in the name of the son of God,in order that you may know that you have eternal life"And what happens when one who believes in the name stops believing in the name.James2:19
The ones who stop believing were simply false converts. They were never saved to begin with.
John makes this clear in the same book in the second chapter:
19They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us.
1 Cor 5 tells you explicitly you can lose your standing before God. 2 Cor. 2 is clear that a REPENTANT wrong doer, who was kicked out of the Christian Congregation and given to SATAN can be brought back to Christ. Thus, once saved always saved is bogus. Heb 10:26-31, yea, vs.31. If you do not repent then you're going to Hades.
Hi Robin.... the simple answer is that I see those people as false converts.... they may be listed among the brothers..... but in time their true hearts are exposed.
What do you make of 1 John 2:19 They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, so that it would be shown that they all are not of us.
Then if I told you, "I am saved!", it wouldn't mean a thing because the possibility exists that I'm my heart is not true, and this whole arguement goes down in flames. That's why you don't make any sense. You're not SAVED until you ARE saved. And God hasn't made that plain to anyone,you're still alive and could betray your belief. Simple answers are hard to find in tainted minds.
Exactly my friend... It goes like this: You say you are saved... not able to read your heart or mind I accept you into fellowship until 1:you endure to the end (death or "the end")
or
2: until your actions prove you are a false brother/ convert
Continuing the previous thought; You said, "I see those people as false converts....". 'Those people are the ones Paul encouraged the Corinthian Cong. to now let them back in the cong. after seeing their repentance 1 cor. 2:5-11. Again, "once saved always saved" rediculous! Or are you letting false converts back in the Cong.? Oh yea you don't kick adulteres or murders out. Better to let them remain and continue their sinful ways.
Hey Robin, perhaps you can explain the "proper" meaning of the texts in first John.
and no real Christian church leaves unrepentant adulterers and murderers in their congregation... the Wt crosses the line tossing out the unrepentant beard growers (first book of not in the bible Verses 3 to 7) and the unrepentant date disagreement people (2nd delusions 6:2)
I think the text in 1 cor. 5, and what I meant in my last comment, 2ND cor. 2:5-11, are enough to support shunning, excommunication, or disfellowshipping, without the need for any other scriptures. Do your own research. Explain to me what those verses mean, when all the world know's it is simply what the the scriptures are saying, "Kick out unrepentent wrongdoers. "Can't do the time, don't do the crime."
21crosscheck21, This video is so vital not just for Jehovah's Witnesses but for those who are in the church as well who may not know if they are saved but have learned much of God's word. This message is so clear and sharp, a double edged sword. This is great for sharing the message of salvation through Jesus Christ with anyone beyond just for Jehovah's Witnesses. You did and excellent praise worthy job here! Keep up the good work your ministry is powerful and edifying thank you for it.
The bottom line is this 21: You want us to pray to Jesus...Even though he NEVER told us to....even though HE never taught anyone to pray to him...even though He is our Exemplar and He prayed to Jehovah....
You want us to listen to you instead of the Bible. Check out Daniel chapter 3 and chapter 6.....
Hi Jake..... that was a little more disjointed than usual for you. So let me respond to this comment:
Jake says: You want us to pray to Jesus...Even though he NEVER told us to....even though HE never taught anyone to pray to him. Jesus says: "If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it." John 14:14 (check the Greek)
I would hope and pray that you would ignore what your organization has taught you and instead listen to the words of Jesus.
21 21 21...Just wanted to show you some of the scriptures I don't think you have pondered....John 14:14 is in perfect harmony with john 15:16 and John 16:23...
Nice try though...Jesus never taught anyone to pray to him:(
EVEN IF you were right about that verse 21...we would still have to look at all the evidence to the contrary....you know that you cannot go by one verse.
Jake I just checked the Diaglott..... It is there as well in the Greek. He just didn't translate the word on the English side. I don't know why you would persist in saying these things when they are so easily proven to be in error.
21 You kill me...first you are going to go by one word to prove you are right and the rest of the bible is not right. Jesus never asked or taught anyone to pray to him...NEVER
Now that you are a Greek scholar...go ahead I want to see your evidence of John 14:14 Obviously there is disagreement with it or most bibles would translate it the same...
21 again you are just twisting words...here is this better?
John 17:3, RS: [Jesus prayed to his Father:] This is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God [who alone art truly God, NE], and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. (Notice that Jesus referred not to himself but to his Father in heaven as the only true God.)
5 Everyone believing that Jesus is the Christ has been born from God, and everyone who loves the one that caused to be born loves him who has been born from that one. 1 John 5
Everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved. Then he reasoned: How will they call on him in whom they have not put faith? How, in turn, will they put faith in him of whom they have not heard? How, in turn, will they hear without someone to preach? (Romans 10:13, 14
And it must occur that everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will get away safe; for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will prove to be the escaped ones, just as Jehovah has said, and in among the survivors, whom Jehovah is calling.
Therefore keep yourselves in expectation of me,is the utterance of Jehovah,till the day of my rising up to[the]booty,for my judicial decision is to gather nations for me to collect together kingdoms,in order to pour out upon them my denunciation,all my burning anger; for by the fire of my zeal all the earth will be devoured.9For then I shall give to peoples the change to a pure language,in order for them all to call upon the name of Jehovah,in order to serve him shoulder to shoulder.
Psalms 37:9Those hoping in Jehovah are the ones that will possess the earth. And just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more . . . But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, and they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace. And what about seeking righteousness? Verse 29 states: The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.
He can go on and on also. Not for hours, but his whole life. He doesn't have an important work like telling the world about Jesus and the Sacred Secre. But you do.
He that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved. (Matthew 10:22) The Bible likens our Christian course to a race, with salvation being the prize at its end. And it urges: Run in such a way that you may attain it.—1 Corinthians 9:24
What, then, must we believe? That Jesus actually lived? Of course. That he is the Son of God? By all means! And since the Bible calls Jesus Teacher and Lord, must we not also believe what he taught, obey him, and follow him?—John 13:13; Matthew 16:16. YES
Ah, here the problem arises! Many people who have been told that they are saved seem to have little intention of either following or obeying Jesus.
A MAN once asked Jesus: Lord, are those who are being saved few? How did Jesus reply? Did he say: Just accept me as your Lord and Savior, and you will be saved? No! Jesus said: Exert yourselves vigorously to get in through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will seek to get in but will not be able.—Luke 13:23, 24.
For if you publicly declare that word in your own mouth, that Jesus is Lord, and exercise faith in your heart that God raised him up from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one exercises faith for righteousness, but with the mouth one makes public declaration for salvation.—Rom. 10:5-10.
16 At that time those in fear of Jehovah spoke with one another, each one with his companion, and Jehovah kept paying attention and listening. And a book of remembrance began to be written up before him for those in fear of Jehovah and for those thinking upon his name.
John 8:54: Jesus answered [the Jews]: If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father that glorifies me, he who you say is your God. (The Hebrew Scriptures clearly identify Jehovah as the God that the Jews professed to worship. Jesus said, not that he himself was Jehovah, but that Jehovah was his Father. Jesus here made it very clear that he and his Father were distinct individuals.)
Matt. 4:10: Jesus said to him: Go away, Satan! For it is written, It is Jehovah [the Lord, KJ and others] your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service. (Jesus was obviously not saying that he himself was to be worshiped.)
John 17:26: [Jesus prayed to his Father:] I have made your name known to them [his followers] and will make it known, in order that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in union with them.
Ezek. 38:17, 23: This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said, . . . And I shall certainly magnify myself and sanctify myself and make myself known before the eyes of many nations; and they will have to know that I am Jehovah
Isa. 12:4: Give thanks to Jehovah, you people! Call upon his name. Make known among the peoples his dealings. Make mention that his name is put on high.
Wow, its interesting how you are definetely saved, UGH NAH!! .. The only way to get to God JEHOVA, is by Jesus "HIS SON" if you basically know a whole lot of the bible, haven't you ever stumbled across those bible texts.. i guess you just ignore them..
It's freakin insane how people Worship Jesus like he's the Almighty God. This dude quoted John 5:39 in this vid but read verse 41: "I receive not honour from men" (KJV) All these BACs here make Christianity into a laughing stock for the secular world to make fun of. Believing is NOT an emotion based on feeling but of solid evidence. All this "Jesus Loves Me" or "I'm saved because Jesus says so!" is fucking retarded. No wonder one become atheist.
The only reason that christendom's members strive to cling to the unscriptural'once saved always saved'dogma matthew24:13 is that they are in terror of a monstrous diety who would unjustly torture'the unsaved'for all eternity.daniel4:37 my loving and just heavenly father jehovah is worthy of willing obedience,revelation4:11 even if there was no hope of eternal life I would give him everything because he is worthy.
How can we guard against being deceived by apostates? By heeding the advice from Gods Word,Keep your eye on those who cause divisions and occasions for stumbling contrary to the teaching that you have learned, and avoid them.Romans 16:17 Weavoid themby steering clear of their reasonings—whether in person,in printed form,or the Internet. Why do we take such a stand? First because Gods Word directs us to do so and we trust that Jehovah always has our best interests at heart.Isaiah 48:17,18
hey robin, Nice one I never spotted it, (allah mo Hehe) But just to clear things up ,there is no hidden meaning hear. OK on to the holy spirit. If you noticed I dont get drawn into the personage of the holy spirit ,or the trinity for that matter. Why? because I dont fully understand it. But the question I asked about whether a jw is baptised in the name of the father son and holy spirit has only been adressed by posers(hehe) and not by active witnesses. Hence my question . regards to you alamo
Brian, I love the approach you are taking with these videos!! I'm glad you pointed out Romans 5:1, as i'm not sure too many JW's can see justification as being something that happened in the past. Seems like they are still trying to be justified.
You equate being spiritually alive with being saved, and that is your mistake. Spiritually alive as physically alive is someone's condition at certain moment, whereas saves is a result of someone's (in this case God's) action. 'The heart is more treacherous than anything else and is desperate.Who can know is'- says Jeremiah 17:9. As we see and there where many many examples in the Bible the heart of man can turn from God although person may think that he/she is spiritually alive at the moment
That is why JW humbly answer that their salvation is in hands of God because only he as a creator of all of us can our heart. As for me quite Biblical position. Also I encourage you to read 2 Peter 2:20,21. It says: 20 Certainly if, after having escaped from the defilements of the world by an accurate knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they get involved again with these very things and are overcome, the final conditions have become worse for them than the first.
21 For it would have been better for them not to have accurately known the path of righteousness than after knowing it accurately to turn away from the holy commandment delivered to them.
1 John 2:19 They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, so that it would be shown that they all are not of us.
Those you speak of are quite simply false converts. Scripture is clear and concise on the issue.
Hi Robin, I am glad you explained poser, because when you adressed that title to me I thought you meant poser (which in English means someone who likes to look at himself in the mirror too often, haha, one who combs his hair too much and wears fancy clothes)hehe Glad that one is cleared up!
Well I'm sure u know, that definition of poser is not the same as ours. I didn't know that you actually had to pose, since in American or what we call Canadian English, which is actually a transliteration of the French into English, which I guess is NOT English at all, couldn't apply to you, since you speak the Kings English. I've seen you and I KNOW what I look like; James speaks to that!;)> And, I didn't aim my comment at you. I accept your apology;). Good day, at least I think; I think I am.
hi robin,No I honestly didnt know the american definition of it, when you first called me a poser ,I thought you meant one who likes to look good in the mirror (in love with myself etc.) or imposter. Thats the problem with UK and US terminology, it can lead to serious misunderstandings. Thats why I am glad you cleared it up. Still like the play on alla though hehe !
This man who made this video is not accurate. Moses led God's people in ancient times. The disciples lead people to accurate knowledge back in Jesus' day=Matthew chap.10. The apostle Paul and older men led the early Christian congregation. The bible says in the time of the end, true knowledge would become abundant=Daniel 12:4. Acts 1:8-Jesus says he will be with us to preach worldwide-Matthew 24:14,28:19,20. We are preaching God's name=Jehovah, and God's kingdom soon to come!-Matthew 6:9,10 :D

Jesus has His Father's name which is Yehoshuah. Jesus (Yesha - Y'shuah) came in His Father's name, the Holy Ghost was sent in the name of the Son.
The name of the Father the Son & the Holy Ghost is Yehoshuah (Y'shuah) OR the transliteration from Greek to English is Jesus

A witness is someone that has seen an event or has direct involvement. Therefore How can you be a witness to Jehovah(Yehoshuah)if you have never seen him? The ONLY one that we can be a witness to is Christ. Why? Because when we get baptized into Jesus Christ we receive the Holy Ghost - which is Christ. Therefore, I can be a witness to the resurrection because I am a partaker of the resurrection life as Christ is in me. I possess resurrection life I am a true witness to the resurrection of Christ

Wow!!!!! This guy just doesn't know much about Jehovah's Witnesses! We are striving to get saved.We follow Jesus, we feel we are God's people and we are enduring to God's kingdom. Matthew 24:13, "But he that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved." We cannot possibly 100% certainty know that we are saved util the end. OUR hope is in Jesus, proclaiming Jehovah's name and God's Kingdom come to earth soon.Matthew 6:9,10,we keep God's name hallowed, or holy-It's Jehovah the true God

it does say the father AND the son AND the holy spirit. three different things. jesus prayed to his father. not himself. holy spirit was poured out upon jesus after baptism. how can you pour out yourself. showing it is not all one. many scriptures prove this fact. the trinity is not a bible teaching

Jehovah's Wit teach people to start salvation need to Baptize and keep doing well in orther to receive salvation when Jesus come and invite to enter his kingdom, is more humble than you are saying here, don't be a deceiver of others with your arguments without biblical support

Hey Sir, I saw your video and I tell you, you are wrong, Because when Jesus come he will separate people for left and right side and you already went to right side by your self, perhaps Jesus say you to go to the Left because he is the Judge, not you

@logan500 You might be right,Just have to remember,Jesus is God,He wasnt created,hes not a created bieng.Where does it say in the bible that then God created Jesus.Jesus is Jehovahs manifestation in Flesh.Thats why the jws meetings are so without spirit,they have no relationship with jesus.Its so empty,like reading a book.God has to be seen in your Heart not in your Eyes,And hes already there,hes Jesus christ,have a look,hes waiting for you!

Hi, I just got around to watching this. I like this message. One of the scriptures I never remember reading or hearing at the kingdom hall is Epp.2:8-10, the reason is because JWs are a works based religion. True Christianity as you know is Grace based. One person puts it this way: Religion says "Do" and true Christianity says "done". It's pleasing to know that Christ paid the price and did all the "doing" Having faith in him is what it's all about. Good Job on your video!

JWs believe they are "in line" for Jesus' hope, the word "saved" is simple but doesn't describe anything. Jesus' said, "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come." It is a warning to be aware of your salvation, it can be at risk at all times up until the end.

I carry the New World Translation and I know it isn't misconstrued. So it holds the word of God, right? Having been given this gift shows me that, as long as I pursue this ethical understanding of God and His purpose for humanity, those who follow up on the same path are saved.

U'r vid is misleading. Any JW knows that. We've never considered the belief that people think their going to heaven as 'comical'. It's sad, not comical. No JW's going to respond to u'r saved ? (you mean 'born again', saved is misleading to your audience and is a deceptive ploy), in a noncommital way; We and you, know, the anointed are 'born again' and the 'great crowd' are not, since they do not have a heavenly hope. You constantly demand, through your misleadings clarification. Changed have u?

21crosscheck21 3 years ago
The 'great crowd' are before the throne of God and they say, "SALVATION we owe to our God, who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb." This is after Armageddon. They are saved only after that. Notice the 144000 are in the midst of the throne. Who are these guys anyway? Are they you and your buddies? In heaven? And who are these dudes before the throne.

The stated mission of Jesus Christ:

Re:21crosscheck21,the stated mission;Luke4:43NASB:But he said to them,"I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also,for I was sent forth for this purpose"yes the salvation of fellow humans was an important part of his mission but it was not the main objective.Psalm37:11 states that the new earth is characterized by abundance of peace.this is so because it is peopled by those exclusively devoted to Jehovah and not themselves.
aservantofjehovah 3 years ago
That is all part of the salvation message.
The simple truth is that the question: Why did Jesus come? is clearly answered in scripture so that even the newest babe in Christ could understand. He came to save sinners.
God is glorified in the salvation of his people, and the punishment of his enemies.
What did the angel that announced his coming say?
21crosscheck21 3 years ago
Jehovah is glorified in the righteousness and goodness of his people.john13:35,Isaiah2:3-5 that is why repentance and conversion must proceed salvation.Luke13:3,matthew3:2,The sorrow we are being urged to feel is not over our just punishment but over our disobedience to Jehovah's rightful rulership.and our blaspheming of his holy name.Daniel9:7-11

Would it be fair to say that it's up to you to save yourself at this point?
21crosscheck21 3 years ago
no that would not be fair.for their is nothing that I can do to earn my salvation.But our lord lovingly warns us that we must stay awake lest we lose this precious gift,mark13:33-37,revelation2:5,revelation16:15.Think of it this way.I give you a brand new Mercedes you have not indeed you could not have earned it.You drive recklessly and crash it.Assuming you survive am I obligated to give you another.A gift can be lost especially if we are unapreciative.

I am not really talking about acting "recklessly," but what I am talking about is doing works in order to maintain your status as saved.
So do you believe that one can fall in and out of the state of justification?
21crosscheck21 3 years ago
It is not what is done its why its done if you appreciate the gift you would love the giver,and it is this love that should motivate your eager obedience,1John5:3 likewise when our love grows cold we then become in danger of being overcome by satan,and losing our relationship with Jehovah God and his Christ Revelation2:4,5.That is why we are urged at James4:8 to purify our hearts.Our motives must be pure in serving Jehovah and his son

for the self-deceived such warnings would be useless.Note the one at hebrews3:12 it speaks of a falling away from the living God,the one at revelation2:4,5 it warns of leaving your first love and urges repentance with the prospect that it might yet be regained.clearly a heart that was once pure can become corrupted,and those who are not alive to this fact are deceiving themselves 1corinthians15:33

The one truly devoted to Jehovah serves him not for the sake of any future gain,but because as the source of our present existence and all that is necessary to sustain and make it joyful he is worthy of our eager and joyful obedience.acts14:16,17,revelation4:11.Even if there was no pledge of eternal life,there could be no better way to spend a lifetime than in the service of our glorious God and king the lord Jehovah.
aservantofjehovah 3 years ago
Amen to that..... but the point of the video stands. It is better to know that you are saved.
I still wait for a single jw to step up to the biblical plate and explain how it is that John states that you can 'Know" you are saved... in light of what the wt teaches.
21crosscheck21 3 years ago
Re:21Crosscheck21;Then perhaps you need to read 1corinthians4:4,5 again.what one can be confident of is one's present standing if after testing oneself one is found faithful,2corinthians13:5.That is the only guarantee the scriptures give us and it is more than sufficient for one who is truly Devoted to Jehovah and not oneself.Frankly the elevation of ones salvation over the sanctification of Jehovah's name and the upholding of his rulership,strikes me as borderline idolatry.

Interesting how you refuse to deal with the passage from John... I will accept that as your admission of defeat...
And please do not misrepresent me.... I have never elevated the gift above the giver... I made an entire video about that... to say otherwise is false witness on your part my friend....

You do realize that all the promises and blessings of the bible apply only to the redeemed right....even right understanding is reserved for the redeemed..

aservantofjehovah 3 years ago
The ones who stop believing were simply false converts. They were never saved to begin with.
John makes this clear in the same book in the second chapter:
19They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us.
21crosscheck21 3 years ago
21cc21,
You better believe it also.
1 Cor 5 tells you explicitly you can lose your standing before God. 2 Cor. 2 is clear that a REPENTANT wrong doer, who was kicked out of the Christian Congregation and given to SATAN can be brought back to Christ. Thus, once saved always saved is bogus. Heb 10:26-31, yea, vs.31. If you do not repent then you're going to Hades.
nibornagrom 3 years ago
Hi Robin.... the simple answer is that I see those people as false converts.... they may be listed among the brothers..... but in time their true hearts are exposed.
What do you make of 1 John 2:19 They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, so that it would be shown that they all are not of us.
21crosscheck21 3 years ago
Then if I told you, "I am saved!", it wouldn't mean a thing because the possibility exists that I'm my heart is not true, and this whole arguement goes down in flames. That's why you don't make any sense. You're not SAVED until you ARE saved. And God hasn't made that plain to anyone,you're still alive and could betray your belief. Simple answers are hard to find in tainted minds.
nibornagrom 3 years ago
Exactly my friend... It goes like this: You say you are saved... not able to read your heart or mind I accept you into fellowship until 1:you endure to the end (death or "the end")

Continuing the previous thought; You said, "I see those people as false converts....". 'Those people are the ones Paul encouraged the Corinthian Cong. to now let them back in the cong. after seeing their repentance 1 cor. 2:5-11. Again, "once saved always saved" rediculous! Or are you letting false converts back in the Cong.? Oh yea you don't kick adulteres or murders out. Better to let them remain and continue their sinful ways.
nibornagrom 3 years ago
Hey Robin, perhaps you can explain the "proper" meaning of the texts in first John.
and no real Christian church leaves unrepentant adulterers and murderers in their congregation... the Wt crosses the line tossing out the unrepentant beard growers (first book of not in the bible Verses 3 to 7) and the unrepentant date disagreement people (2nd delusions 6:2)
21crosscheck21 3 years ago
I think the text in 1 cor. 5, and what I meant in my last comment, 2ND cor. 2:5-11, are enough to support shunning, excommunication, or disfellowshipping, without the need for any other scriptures. Do your own research. Explain to me what those verses mean, when all the world know's it is simply what the the scriptures are saying, "Kick out unrepentent wrongdoers. "Can't do the time, don't do the crime."

Believing is NOT an emotion based on feeling but of solid evidence. All this "Jesus Loves Me" or "I'm saved because Jesus says so!" is fucking retarded. No wonder one become atheist.

The only reason that christendom's members strive to cling to the unscriptural'once saved always saved'dogma matthew24:13 is that they are in terror of a monstrous diety who would unjustly torture'the unsaved'for all eternity.daniel4:37 my loving and just heavenly father jehovah is worthy of willing obedience,revelation4:11 even if there was no hope of eternal life I would give him everything because he is worthy.

How can we guard against being deceived by apostates? By heeding the advice from Gods Word,Keep your eye on those who cause divisions and occasions for stumbling contrary to the teaching that you have learned, and avoid them.Romans 16:17 Weavoid themby steering clear of their reasonings—whether in person,in printed form,or the Internet. Why do we take such a stand? First because Gods Word directs us to do so and we trust that Jehovah always has our best interests at heart.Isaiah 48:17,18

I am still trying to work out if they are even fully baptised in the name of the father son and holy ghost.

alamo11, alam11, ala11. Hmmm? With one drooping eye, I weep.
Shakespear does not suit me.
In the name of all that's good, does the Holy Spirit have to be a person, the same as 'all that's good' is a person?
See ya ala11.

hey robin, Nice one I never spotted it, (allah mo Hehe) But just to clear things up ,there is no hidden meaning hear. OK on to the holy spirit. If you noticed I dont get drawn into the personage of the holy spirit ,or the trinity for that matter. Why? because I dont fully understand it. But the question I asked about whether a jw is baptised in the name of the father son and holy spirit has only been adressed by posers(hehe) and not by active witnesses. Hence my question . regards to you alamo

Brian, I love the approach you are taking with these videos!! I'm glad you pointed out Romans 5:1, as i'm not sure too many JW's can see justification as being something that happened in the past. Seems like they are still trying to be justified.

You equate being spiritually alive with being saved, and that is your mistake. Spiritually alive as physically alive is someone's condition at certain moment, whereas saves is a result of someone's (in this case God's) action. 'The heart is more treacherous than anything else and is desperate.Who can know is'- says Jeremiah 17:9. As we see and there where many many examples in the Bible the heart of man can turn from God although person may think that he/she is spiritually alive at the moment

That is why JW humbly answer that their salvation is in hands of God because only he as a creator of all of us can our heart. As for me quite Biblical position. Also I encourage you to read 2 Peter 2:20,21. It says: 20 Certainly if, after having escaped from the defilements of the world by an accurate knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they get involved again with these very things and are overcome, the final conditions have become worse for them than the first.

21 For it would have been better for them not to have accurately known the path of righteousness than after knowing it accurately to turn away from the holy commandment delivered to them.

1 John 2:19 They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, so that it would be shown that they all are not of us.
Those you speak of are quite simply false converts. Scripture is clear and concise on the issue.

Robin.... that's not very nice. Have you taken up the practice of reading hearts?
21crosscheck21 3 years ago
I've taken up the practice of seeing works, and by that gauging faith.
poser is my way of saying, opposer. I've already made it clear I think you are sincere. I also think you are blind, the same as you think of me.

oh.... poser-opposer... I had nt heard that before.

Poser

Hi Robin, I am glad you explained poser, because when you adressed that title to me I thought you meant poser (which in English means someone who likes to look at himself in the mirror too often, haha, one who combs his hair too much and wears fancy clothes)hehe Glad that one is cleared up!
alamo11 3 years ago
Well I'm sure u know, that definition of poser is not the same as ours. I didn't know that you actually had to pose, since in American or what we call Canadian English, which is actually a transliteration of the French into English, which I guess is NOT English at all, couldn't apply to you, since you speak the Kings English. I've seen you and I KNOW what I look like; James speaks to that!;)> And, I didn't aim my comment at you. I accept your apology;). Good day, at least I think; I think I am.
nibornagrom 3 years ago
hi robin,No I honestly didnt know the american definition of it, when you first called me a poser ,I thought you meant one who likes to look good in the mirror (in love with myself etc.) or imposter. Thats the problem with UK and US terminology, it can lead to serious misunderstandings. Thats why I am glad you cleared it up. Still like the play on alla though hehe !
