this was good! i thank God for this info. i deal with a jw daily and i've shown all types of scriptures and even the errors in their bible. that is a strong hold like no other. total brain washing.
7SpringsCofC Im certain "those Christians in the Lords church" is not part of 7 Springs Church of Christ or those denomination that were just mentioned. JWs hold the biblical teaching of early Christianity in comparison to those denominations that were just mentioned.
Agrippa did understood that they were called Christians just as he understood they were called by other terms.
JWs follow Pauls council "Become imitators of me, even as I am of Christ.1 Cor1:1" Jesus was most certainly a Witness of Jah just like the early Christians were.
You have this unbiblical premise that WE HAVE to call ourselves Christians ONLY when the biblical text shows Christians were called "Apollos," "Cephas" "the Way" "Disciples" "sect of Nazarene" and even got worst to the point where there were divisions among them1 Cor 11:18
(2)(c) Again there is no inconsistency. Either Im not making myself clear or your not understanding me. Not once in my statement did I say "we were NOT to call ourselves Christians" I already established that 4 weeks ago (read the postings again).
(2)(b) There is no inconsistency. By my statement "As True Christians we follow the Lord Jesus" should have revealed to you I have no problem with the term Christian. I never said "I thought that we were NOT to call ourselves Christians", I NEVER made that claim you are adding words to my statement. My whole point is the early Church were known as Christians also other terms too, that is my point.
Acts 2:47 says NOTHING about the term "CHRISTians" and those followers of Christ where actually Witnesses of Jah (again they were followers of Christ as he was a Witness of Jah) . If you read through context in Acts 2 they are reading the Hebrew portion of Psalms & Joel showing how Jesus fulfilled the prophecy in those Hebrew text. It was Jehovah God who is the stem of those prophecy. To deny Jesus was a Witness of Jah is denying he was Witness of God
Responding to (2)(a) The Restorationist church denomination of the Church of Christ founder Leroy Garrett contradicts your statement because he agrees "those Christians in the Lords church HAS BEEN watered down" but in his terms ""real Christian" as distinct from "Christian." And "all those who profess Christianity are Christians, though many of them, maybe even most of them, are bad Christians or lukewarm Christians? "WHO IS A REAL CHRISTIAN? Volume 06, Number 7, July 1964
response to (3) Again, again, again, and again. We follow Jesus example "from Jesus Christ, "the Faithful Witness," "The firstborn from the dead," and "The Ruler of the kings of the earth."To him that loves us and that loosed us from our sins by means of his own bloodand he made us to be a kingdom, priests to his God and Father—yes, to him be the glory and the might forever" Rev 1:5-6. You can not deny Jesus was a witness of Jah, thats why you keep avoiding that fact.
Your response to (1)(a) There is no inconsistency as you try to claim. The biblical text shows "a great cloud of witnesses" of Jah Starting with Heb 11-12:2 "looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith". As the text brought out those Worshipers of Jah were his Witnesses and we are to look at Jesus as the greatest and perfect Witness of Jah. You always seem to avoid the point that Jesus was one of Jehovahs Witnesses.
