Introduction - 00 of 10 - Questions for Jehovah's Witnesses

[CharlieStream]

Thanks for you response but it alludes my question to this specific Scripture. Why grandsons and subjects of the human"prince" who is clearly the prophetic messiah if they are spiritual? what are they Inheriting?

[bereanresearch]

@CharlieStream

1. Thanks. I am sorry. I am also sorry that I really don't fully understand this question. You probably mean that my response "eludes" or avoids the question and not that it "alludes" to something else. But your second sentence, the question, really isn't clear to me; and the passage doesn't mention grandsons at all.

2. What are they inheriting? These chapters refer to the millennial reign (1,000 years on earth) after the battle of Armageddon - material possessions on earth.

[CharlieStream]

@CharlieStream sorry for my iphone text in-correction.

[CharlieStream]

@ bereanresearch, Without changing the literal context for you own truth in Ezekeil 46:16-17 speaks of the only (Messiah or Prince) that gifts inheritance to his sons, and his grandsons. Difference in treatment for human subjects/servants and his sons in this passage means something physical not by faith. Mark12:25 says the resurrected cannot marry or procreate. Hence Jesus had no children. If Jesus did not fulfill this prophecy in life, unless he did have children, how can he be the Messiah?

[bereanresearch]

@CharlieStream

1. Thank you for writing!

2. The child and son that was born (Is 9:6) is clearly a reference to Jesus who is called "The everlasting Father".

3. The Jews rejected him, "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:" (John 1:12) One can be a son by believing.

4. God sent his Son, "To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons" (Gal 4:5)

5. Adoption - sons - inheritance!

[CharlieStream]

I will elaborate more. Jesus did not have natural children,or grandsons(latter). In this passage the (prince of messaih) has natural sons and grandsons. Theres a difference in the treatment in sons and servants in the Scripture also. I appreciate the simplicity of Christians generalizing "sons" meaning all in faith or a general group,which this Scripture does not support at all. The word used here it to natural children in context. God does not have grandchildren. Please explain.

Hi, my wife has the same material and I also had questions. You are quite correct in your assessment of the situation. My wife is not allowed to study any other material other than what she is supplied. They cannot answer some basic questions that the watchtower cannot provide. Thank you for this video.

[bereanresearch]

@trailerfitter2

You are very welcome! I am praying for you and your wife. You can trust the bible exactly as it is written; not as the Watchtower says. (Every word of God is pure. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar - Prov 30:6).

After this series of ten videos, we filmed three others called, "Answering Jehovah's Witnesses". We also have written articles about Watchtower doctrine - sitemap of Berean Research Institute (Dot) Com

Thank you for watching!

[Glory2JESUS4ever]

Isaiah 44:6 - Thus saith Jehovah, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, Jehovah of hosts: I am the first, and I am the last; and besides me there is no God

Notice: "...Jehovah, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, Jehovah of hosts..."

JESUS is ONE with the FATHER !!!

[mtavarez4561]

Praise God for these vids - they came in the nick of time !!! Thank you Sincerely

[bereanresearch]

@mtavarez4561

1. You are very welcome!

2. The Questions are all written out on our website, Berean Research Institute (dot) com. You can print them, if that helps you. Look under "Doctrines" Tab then Jehovah's Witness Section at the Bottom of that index.

3. We have a box full of Watchtower literature, much of which has been reviewed and flagged or highlighted. So, if you have a particular doctrine of theirs that seems to be a problem, let us know and we will do what we can to help with it.

[Vicwarren711]

My apology, I will have to give you a rain check, I have been hospitalized & on chemotherapy. I am feeling real crook ( I am an Aussie (Australian) crook means being unwell. Please be patient & I will eventually reply to you.

Your bro. in Christ.

[bereanresearch]

@Vicwarren711

1. Vic, I know very little about you; but I certainly pray that you will prosper and be in good health even as your soul prospers (III John 2).

2. Romans 8:9 says that "if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his." So, I am concerned for you, that you get these issues settled soon - particularly if your health is not good.

3. Watchtower literature and Catholic literature both teach a false gospel, another spirit and another Jesus

4. Believe the King James Bible

[Vicwarren711]

The King James translation is a fine translation in fact my King James was printed by the Watchtower Society many, many years ago. I have no problem using that translation. Since you brought up the subject of Holy Spirit in your video I will send a post about the subject of the Holy Spirit. Re: King James translation do you use the revised King James?

[bereanresearch]

@Vicwarren711

1. The King James Bible was never revised. It was edited several times for printing errors and for standardization issues, but it remains unrevised from its original translation. If you are referring to the "New King James Version", no I don't use that for scripture. It is a false bible.

2. Yes, thank you; I am interested in your articles on the Holy Spirit. One question in our videos was: Where does God's word - the KJ Bible - call the Holy Spirit "God's Active Force?"

[Triplethreat99]

@bereanresearch The claims that are made in Jeahovah Wittnesses publications should provide passages of the bible where you can refer to as proof. For Example, If the book you are reading says that the Holy Spirit is Gods active force, than it provides passages of the bible where you can read passages about that subject. Provided that it is the main or important sub-point of what you are studying.

[bereanresearch]

@Triplethreat99

1. I agree with you. They should.

2. But the J.W. literature does not cite references from the Bible. It only cites other J.W. literature on the point about "God's Active Force".

3. The Bible never suggests that there is any such thing as "God's Active Force"

[bereanresearch]

@Vicwarren711

1. Vic, were you able to find the information that you were looking for? As I mentioned in the video, the JWs who came to our home did not know where the bible teaches that the Holy Spirit is "God's Active Force".

2. Because you appear to sympathize with their doctrines while recognizing the King James Bible as being God's word, I think that you might be the best person to provide the proof for them; and I look forward to seeing it.

[bereanresearch]

@Vicwarren711

1. Well, Vic, I would hope that your continued lack of response is simply an oversight and not an indication of dishonesty.

2. You have not kept your word yet about sending the information you promised to send.

3. You have not answered my question yet regarding where the bible calls the Holy Spirit "God's Active Force".

4. You are leaving us with the impression that you were insincere in having contacted us in the first place.

[Vicwarren711]

I have studied with persons with only the bible, so I disagree with your premise, In fact I am presently studying with a person who only wants me to study with only a Catholic bible. I am happy to debate with you any time if I believed you are sincere.

[bereanresearch]

@Vicwarren711

1. Thank you, Vic. I don't know what premise you disagree with.

2. God's word is the final authority (John 12:48). Once that is accepted, it is necessary to determine which of the many bibles is actually God's word. Because all of the new versions have errors in them (including Catholic), we have found the King James Bible to be God's only word.

3. It would be easiest to have a thorough discussion by way of email, if you would contact us at Berean Research Institute (Dot) com.

[Vicwarren711]

Well you seemed to go to great pains to suggest that all of the JW's you had discussions with only did so with the society's publications. I have gone to great pains to tell you that I have no problem at all in just using the bible. As mentioned at the moment I am having discussions with a Catholic person who will only accept a Catholic bible. In the early formation of JW's they used mainly the King James or other such translations. The truth is the truth no matter what bible you use

[bereanresearch]

@Vicwarren711

1. Vic, you are correct in thinking that all of the Jehovah's Witnesses with whom I have conversed in the past 40 years have used Watchtower literature.

2. The 'bibles' to which you allude contradict each other (and have errors and omissions); therefore no more than one of them can be the truth.

3. So, if you can answer our questions about Watchtower doctrines solely from God's Word in English - the King James Bible - I would be attentive, and very impressed.

Mike.

[Vanderhoven1]

Excellent primary video. Can't wait to see the rest.

[DarkNinjaArmy]

The Watchtower KNOWS that JESUS is GOD....the JW`s..arent allowed to study for themseleves..they ARE nice..but nice wont get u in...JESUS sais in John 8:24"If u dont believe that I AM u will die in ur sins"....they are brainwashed.......Creflo Dollar even teaches Jesus is not God........thats a sure way to burn..keep them in prayer....

[bereanresearch]

@Goodlife51

1. Thanks for watching, and for your comments. I agree!

2. I agree with your thoughts on Pentecostal evangelists as well. You might like to check our Pentecostal section on our website.

[TheLydiah]

Who died for you?? Yah's Word, sent by Yah Himself. Therefore Yahweh is Salvation and Yahweh - in the person of His Son died for us. Praise Yah you people!!! Yah the Father, Yahshua the Word of Yah, and the Spirit of Yah

[bereanresearch]

There's no doubt that Jesus is Lord! Thanks for watching.

[TheLydiah]

I enjoyed the efforts!! Your welcome!

[cocoangel9111]

man forget those false teachers because they do not know the scripture or the power of God.

[roshsucks]

Also, how come all the Governing Body members are all men?! How come women aren't members? Please explain that one.

[SantaJehovahHaHaHa]

Women are to serve men! keep quiet woman and wait on your masters!

[roshsucks]

Question: Who elects who is part of the "Governing Body" who makes all the rules and teachings all JWs live by? Currently its all made up of 80+yr old cenial men! How do you get elected to be a member of the Governing Body?

[oregongirl28]

no witness would make a video against another religion. this seems odd to me that video is doing that, im not a jw but i find this disturbing. its funny they spend all there time spreading the word, like the bible teaches. and they are hated for that. yet so many other religions are so corrupt, yet jw seem to be the target of bashing. seems odd....

[JWinCT]

1st chapter of Genesis proves that God's spirit is His active force!!

[mkzmotorsports]

The NWT says active force in verse 2; however, the translated word is Ruwach. Across the NWT this word is translated as SPIRIT, except in reference to God. There is no basis for this and it is a false interpretation. That was God's Spirit, the Holy Spirit, who is much more than an active force. So much more that He can be blasphemed, the unforgivable sin!

[fairwhether1]

"1st chapter of Genesis proves that God's spirit is His active force!!"

How so?
