Do Jehovah's Witnesses need to be born again?

Looking at Romans chapter 8 to answer the question of whether Christians need to be born again.

Hello, there's an excellent video on this subject watch

?v=M9DS6x9yZUQ

the title is "Born again" ... what does it mean? part 1of 4

Otherwise I'll be happy to help you gain a correct understanding of what it means to be BORN AGAIN - just go to my forum (see my channel) or contact Jehovah's Witnesses directly at 3 w's watchtower d o t o r g

@sunshineuk1965 Thanks, but I'll stick with the scriptures and scriptures alone. Being born again is only necessary if you want to see the kingdom of God or have anything to do with God for eternity. You can live according to the flesh or according to the Spirit, but only if the Spirit of God dwells in you. An organization cannot save you; only Jesus Christ can do that.

@SixStringDeity Amen! If all you are looking forward to is nice clothes, nice housing, good friends and a pet panda then aren't you concentrating on the gifts and not the giver? The JW view is so materialistic. I would rather be in a closet with God then be in a pretty nice vacation spot without Him.

@SixStringDeity i finally say this, if i wake up after death anywhere that God is there, forgiving me my sins, granting eternal life, i could care less about WHERE that is.to KNOW the father, and Christ, is whats important, and the thing we crave. the perks of earth, thats abonus. and JW 's do not understand, Most christians alos understand at some point, the earth will be inhabited and be a paradise. they are told they are the only ones who understand this stuff. not so.

[SixStringDeity]

@rachelbinto great point. I was trained to focus on MY future life, what THINGS we would have, not have, how we would al be happy. thats fine. but, i ALWAYS thought that would be limited compared to actually knowing God, i heaven, for example. the WHERE isnt important. it shouldnt be. it should be about God and knowing him. if he wants me on earth, excellent. if he wants me inheaven, even better. im sure he knows what he is doing. JW's dont get this, its all about paradise.

@sbgrox11 The WT says that being born again is only needed for a heavenly leadership role, but the Bible says we are all spiritually dead and all in need of rebirth(Eph 2:1-5; Col 2:11-14) . Also, the creation that is subjected to frustration not of it's own will is the physical creation suffering from the curse in Gen 3:17-19. In the new heavens and the new earth that curse will be released.(Is 55:12-13; 65:25)

@sbgrox11 Really, after 2 or 3 comments on the other video you still don't believe the trinity? Well, I am glad at least that you do concur on this point. Tomorrow a Jehovah's Witness is coming to discuss this very issue with me.

Hello to you

I found this in Bible:

2John

" 9. Whosoever goeth onward and abideth not in the teaching of Christ, hath not God: he that abideth in the teaching, the same hath both the Father and the Son."

Here I am inviting you to verify if what you know about Jesus taking the power in Heavens is "in the teaching of Christ" ... or not..... check it at my website .

Be blessed !

Greetings.

Romans 8:15-17 has absolutely nothing to do with the price of tea in China!! Likewise WHERE does it say in this verse only 144K will go to heaven?? Unbelievable!! ugh!! (pounding my head against the wall)....
