You need to learn Hebrew, the Hebrew term used at Isaiah 9:6 shows a definite distinction between the Son and God. There the Son is called “Mighty God,” ʼEl Gib·bohrʹ, not “Almighty God.” That term in Hebrew is ʼEl Shad·daiʹ and applies uniquely to Jehovah God.
Jeff the Bible never calls Jesus the eternal God. What is a regular English translation?where do you get the idea that Isaiah 9:6 is talking about Jehovah??? It is flat out absolutely talking about Jesus. You haven’t shown one scripture that Jesus is Jehovah. The fact is that Jesus is not Jehovah by any means. Revelation never called Jesus Almighty God, it never did.
Do you call yourself a Christian? If so, then you might want to take your head out of the sand brother. When Jesus commanded us - He instilled duty When Jesus warned us - He did so based on fear These so-called Christians today desecrate Jesus teachings and commandments to cater to their own selfish ways. By reducing Jesus' to a harmless character, apostate Christianity deceive others into thinking they can get away with anything - they ignore that Jesus is a King tasked with carrying His GOD and Father's wrath on the lawless, the liars and the deceivers loving themselves rather than GOD. You cite fear and obligation as though it is a sin, and all at the expense of Jesus' teachings and commandments - behold the fruits of Apostacy at work! Relax, enjoy yourselves, nothing's going to happen, we have nothing to fear, it's all good - 'Just like Jesus' Himself said it... Satan at his finest ...
Colossians 1 on creation is easily solved: God is not a created being so that leaves Him out from all the creation that came Through Jesus. I wish JWs hadn't added the [ ] to that Scripture because it is self explained in many other Scriptures God is a not a created being. And "only Begotten" DOES mean having been created, or giving birth to. "The Great Tribulation" will without fail catch you in your anger. It will catch your suddenly. It is coming. God has always had on organization on Earth and they bore his name. Gods name is that important. Ancient Israel committed many, many sins, but Jehovah kept forgiving them. In the first and into the second AD, again God established his chosen people through his only begotten son, Jesus Christ. They, too, sinned and did many errors, but God chose them because his word must be fulfilled. Jesus helped a prostitute from the stones of the Jews and other onlookers, a prostitute, and they saw Jesus spoke with love and forgiveness, yes, even a prostitute. God has always, it has never failed, had an organized chosen people. Jews denied Gods only begotten son, and then persecuted him and had him killed. And they still don't recognize Jesus Christ as The Messiah, as Gods only begotten son. It can't be them. All other religions ignore the Bibles core teachings and instead follow their own theories. I hope. Yes, some JWs have done serious sins, and while they support the 'two witness' pattern, set forth by none other than Gods word itself, there is no way in the intellectual and wise and reasonable system they should all be blamed. They follow the order set into print by none other than God, Jehovah. Gods name is found some 7,000 times in the Hebrew Scriptures, all, all in praise worthy and approval ways. Jesus and the apostles quoted from those specific Scriptures so it is clear Gods name must have been spoken and taught to all listeners in the first and into the second centuries AD. Of course JWs are going to sin, they are imperfect, that is why they have a disfellowshipping order, just as God wants or demands. "Do not even sit with anyone called a brother" says Gods word (1 Corinthians 5:9-13 [focus namely on 11 for the point]). Gods word must be fulfilled, completely, so Isaiah 2:2-4 must take place, but when? "In the last days." Daniel also wrote concerning Gods word and fulfillment at Daniel 12:7-10; "Then one said to the man clothed with the linen, who was up above the waters of the stream: 'How long will it be to the end of the wonderful things?' And I began to hear the man clothed with the linen, who was up above the waters of the stream, as he proceeded to raise his right [hand] and his left [hand] to the heavens and to swear by the One who is alive for time indefinite: 'It will be for an appointed time, appointed times and a half. And as soon as there will have been a finishing of the dashing of the power of the holy people to pieces, all these things will come to their finish.' Now as for me, I heard, but I could not understand; so that I said: 'O my lord, what will be the final part of these things?” And he went on to say: 'Go, Daniel, because the words are made secret and sealed up until the time of [the] end. Many will cleanse themselves and whiten themselves and will be refined. And the wicked ones will certainly act wickedly, and no wicked ones at all will understand; but the ones having insight will understand.'" This supports Isaiah above. Acts 15:14-18 supports this, too. Malachi 3:16, 17, supports all of it, that Gods people will carry His name and they will be His people, as imperfect as they may be. But Gods core commandments will be His peoples core works and reason for their faith. They "abstain from blood" and they abstain from 'violence/war,' and they abstain from praying to saints, and they abstain from worshiping idols, and they abstain from pagan holidays, and they worship Jehovah God alone, making the correct distinction between God and his only begotten son, Jesus Christ. And they as united as expected by God: just as they were unified in ancient Israel, and just as they unified in early True Christianity, so it must be in the "last days." No other religion are like JWs because Gods word must and will be fulfilled. They love each other so dearly just as Jesus commended them to, but the love for God must come first, and then for Jesus, therefore they Obey the instructions in Gods word first, regardless if it's to your and yours distaste and dislike. God is first in their lives. Everyone knows this. Everyone. There is no other religion (Christian) on the planet so unified, that the only explanation is they must have Gods holy spirit. Philippians 2:1-8 backs this unity without question. They were united in same way, style and form of worship in Israeli times, and also in True early Christianity times, and so it must be in the last days. Gods word WILL be totally fulfilled. No other religion is all over the world in such unity preaching and teaching "the good news of Gods kingdom" as are JWs: no one come close. Matthew 28:19, 20 and Matthew 24:14 is being fulfilled. And will continue to until "the end" comes. There are sinners who come out from all religions, but JWs will stick with Gods word and will, if found guilty according to GODS word, disfellowship whoever member. The rest, whether in court or whatever any country does, is in Gods hands and/or the government system God has put in place. And for their works and faith, for their beliefs, they are hated by false religion (99pc), and by the world. But that makes them happy, because it is God, Jehovah, who they please above all others. For their works, and faith, and beliefs, they were the targets of Hate in the first and into the second centuries AD. They were called names, cult, and worse, but it made them happy because its Gods Word that is first in their lives. No other religion has Gods approval: none. Gods word will be fulfilled. One thing you all get wrong is, you think all religions in the world are THEIR religion, and while that is mostly true, it is GOD himself who has His own religion. Every one from anywhere is able to "come and drink life's water free." Many have made that change. Many have come to Jehovah. It is their choice, not the or a religions' choice. Gods people have always had a governing body, which is why they have always been unified: Gods word must be fulfilled and completed. It is Gods doing. It must come to fulfillment. Peace. PS: JWs are not there or here to fight, but teach and preach Gods word accurately. Those two "pastors" wanted nothing more than a "fight," lol, even if it seemed peaceful. They are doing it for RUclips views: JWs do it for Gods name to be made known, and therefore for Gods approval. There is a huge difference. And, they approached two Young ladies. I want to see those "pastors" have a discussion with two mature Witnesses and see what happens. There will be peace, but the "pastors" wont because they can't win...
Yeah, I could sense that also when Jeff is asking them if they were out there because they loved people. Their response seemed to be more mechanical than spiritual.
I was raised as one of Jehovahs witnesses. I spent at least 5 days a week going door to door from about age 10 to age 17. I left almost 15 yrs ago now. I just want to say....i am so impressed. I have never seen someone engage in an actual conversation with a j.w. , and you actually got them to hear you out. It is clear to me that you are preaching the true message of the bible. And with sincere humility and pure heart. That was beautiful. Thank you for sharing this.
Jesse Kristi 1 John 5:19 Jesus states the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one. Just as in Job’s suffering it wasn’t God doing it. Satan was dumping the trial on to break Job. If you mom stood firm never left her God then she endured to the end and withstood Satan’s attempts to break her faith.
@@TheSilverlady1980 my mom did remain one of jehovah's witnesses till her death. But she never cut me out of her life like the jw elders told her to. My faith too was tested, i left the jws because i realized that they were not followers of god but rather the men who are in positions of power. And they dont follow the bible but rather the new world translation which i had researched and found so many inaccuracies. I started reading up on the greek to latin translations and found the king james version to be much more accurate. I told my family when i left that i hadnt lost god, but when i was in a kingdom hall i didnt feel gods spirit. I had to endure a lot of hardship and my lifes journey since leaving hasnt been easy but i have learned so much. I read the bible and pray daily with my husband and our 3 kids. So many people who leave the jws become atheist and lose all faith, it is easy to let that happen. But i know god is with me and that satan is always testing the faith of gods children. I pray for my family who are still jws. And for everyone struggling with their faith. I dont judge anyones decision to remain a jw. I want everyone to find salvation and i know that god is always there for anyone who calls on him.
Trinity is the story of a son(Trinitarian Christians) that was raised thinking his father Mr. Roman Trinity was his real father but the kid was kidnap by him, the son doesn’t know his real father has been looking for him since he lost him, one day his real father found his son and said: Son, I finally found you, I Love You. But the son walked away not knowing he was his real father.... John 14:31 Jesus said: BUT FOR THE WORLD TO KNOW THAT I LOVE THE FATHER, I AM DOING JUST AS THE FATHER HAS COMMADED ME TO DO. Get up, let us go from here. John 20:17 Jesus said to her: “Stop clinging to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to MY FATHER and your Father and to MY GOD and your God.
My husband, 3 sons and I are proud "APOSTATES", as JW's would call us. We have been so blessed by a loving God who called us out of the JW's cult. Thank you, Jesus!! We are now Born Again Christians who have been saved by the Grace of our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ, who is indeed God in the flesh. 🙌👑🙏📖KJV ONLY.
I really appreciate this beautiful conversation, the truth and genuine,undiluted expression of the gospel, the Bible. Thanks for sharing,.. May God continue to bless you guys in Jesus mighty name, Amen. Love from Germany
YES, As Christians, True Christians, we are told by CHRIST JESUS....NOT TO JUDGE, or we will be JUDGED...For All have Sinned. But Love our. Neighbors. ( others that. We share the Earth with ), anything else.....would TAKE away the VICTORY from. OUR HEAVENLY FATHER, AND GIVE it to the deceiver..... BLESS YOU, Please. GOD, FATHER OF ALL CREATION.....BLESS US ALL....AMEN
So it's ok for the JW's to go to people's home without invitation but it's not ok for a Christian pastor to talk to them or others? That's the definition of a hypocrite.
Darra Richardson we preach to everyone who is interested in learning the Bible,that includes all kinds of different things pastors,ministers and so one when we go door to door we talk to everyone Matt 28:19,20 is a direct comand by God to preach to the whole world and we are not hipocrites
*sigh* ExJWfifth did complain that the cart model, where people are told to go to JWorg, resulted in JWs being less able to defend their own faith than they would have been with the door-to-door model. What happened to the training standards?
I mean they don’t walk in the house all you can do is ask them to leave in a nice manner and they won’t ever come back and it’s the old ladies who do not engage in it maybe others will take it differently
@@rushiasingsfasola Man please, these people have been preaching for years. A change to cart witnessing is not going to cause them to lose any of their teaching skills. They still make door to door their primary way of preaching. Just another way of teaching, that's all.
Darra Richardson; liars says the Bible teaches that Jesus is the almighty God.. not true' Jesus referred to his God being greater than he -John --14:28--; it is a constitutional right to go from door to door' teaching work is what Jesus taught his followers' they do not impose as this false teacher is doing "anti Christian" yet justify his intrusion?? when not recieved JWs shake the dust from their shoes and leave' they are taught that it is a waste of time to cast their pearls before unworthy' Matt 7:6; Why do enemies of truth' and of the True' God gang up against Gods modern times messengers? Is 43:7,10-13; only ones that call upon the name of Jehovah' -Isaiah --40:31--; will be saved' to suppress ones own God given most basic of elementary common senses, no amount of logic will work for them.. to ignore the constitutional rights of God's people? What does that say about you? if you don't except the truth' then you may as well believe in evolution' Man never slapped God in the face Man never spit in God's face' and never murdered Almighty God.. explain that away. Honest hearted Truth seekers respond to truth -Acts --5:29---31; John --3:16--,17; John --20:17--; John 17:3-6; John 1:1,2,14-18; the Word "Jesus".. was with who? .. God' it does not say "the word is God" sensible to except that it reads "and the word was a god" thus balances with the rest of the Bible' at Psalms 83:18 "alone" implies a singular sense' fits with Deut 6:4; "our God' is "One".. the God of the patriarchs' -Exodus 6:3; the Bible is not self- contradictory.. one needs to read' and meditate on it in order to get the proper sense of God's word for ignorance is no excuse' Noah did not worship the created "Jesus" nor did Lot' they didn't even know who Jesus was.. but we do' we are ones who do not worship Jesus re' -Roman 1:25; (Jesus) the only begotton Son of God' Jesus did nothing if his own will' but the will of him that sent him' -John 4:34; why? you heard'.. God hates lies -Proverbs 6:16-19; its not too late to heed -Rev 18;4;
Wow dude! I came out of JW'S as an agnostic probably even atheist right now. I would have hated knocking on your door ! You have an excellent knowledge of the scriptures. Respect.

@@alexshatner3907 has it ever occured to You that our SaviourGod who Jesus Christ is, and only HIM; -----> and def. NOT some Organisation of false Shepherds and fellow very Sinfull Humans, no matter how big, rich or powerfull they might think they are.... That the Reason HE our Lord is being called "Son" is because He came in Human Form from Divinity, send a Part of HIM, made Himself Human, lowered Himself into Human Form, to out of unimaginably Great Mercy, and Purest Love, for HIS Creation; who have fallen through Sin, been mislead by the Enemy, give His Life, voluntarilly. Yet having been a Human without Sin. Making us righteous in bc God is Justice. But only if we Accept HIM as Saviour and Leader of our Lives, His perfect Gift of Love. On that Day when He took the Victory over Sin, Lie and Death He set us free, not from our own Works, bc ALL have fallen short in the Eyes of God, there is not one who has not sinned at least Once, Only HE DID NOT; but ONLY through His Mercy; we receive Salvation. May you ask HIM for it. He knows your Heart. Only HE is the Way, the Truth and Life everlasting. Oh and btw. for those reading, the Term Elshaddai you used is romantisized and of Cananite origin::::oh oh!!!! Sounds like Idolatry to me. "That which is hidden from the wise and prudent has been revealed to the Babes and Suckling Ones" said the Lamb Jesus Christ, and Only HE is worthy to be Worshipped. No matter how much that might Anger you. But i am done. Please ask Jesus Christ Himself to show you the Truth, I def. know that He never denies a trully sincere or desperate Heart and a Person who is trully ready to surrender their Lives to Him and most importantly the Leadership for their Decissions to Him. Much Love.
@@alexshatner3907you have to compare it to Isaiah 10 which is what he said. There, particularly in verse 21 Yahweh, Jehovah calls himself the Mighty God. El Gabor. Same word for the Son as for the Father. Two persons, one divine nature and being.
@@wonderbuilds6523 In the prophecy at Isaiah 9:6 concerning the Messiah, the title “Mighty God” is applied to the promised Prince of Peace. This expression, however, translates the Hebrew ʼEl Gib•bohrʹ, not ʼEl Shad•daiʹ, as in the above scriptures, El Shaddai is Hebrew for almighty only referred to as Jehovah. The Messianic prophecy at Isaiah 9:6 foretold that he would be called “Mighty God,” though not the Almighty God, and that he would be the “Eternal Father” of all those privileged to live as his subjects. The zeal of his own Father, “Jehovah of armies,” would accomplish this. (Isa 9:7) Certainly if God’s Adversary, Satan the Devil, is called a “god” (2Co 4:4) because of his dominance over men and demons (1Jo 5:19; Lu 11:14-18), then with far greater reason and propriety is God’s firstborn Son called “a god,” “the only-begotten god” as the most reliable manuscripts of John 1:18 call him.

This is how preaching and witnessing should be done, with gentleness and respect. People’s entire worldviews are crumbling and we need to consider how painful that is. God bless you Jeff.
WRONG! The so-called preacher did not respect her numerous requests to end the conversation. The mab is nothing more than another fraudulent Christian.
I was a Jehovahs witness for 30 years. I admire their faith. However I wasn't saved until I met Jesus Christ! I love how this pastor deal with these people. God Bless him!

I have a question for you as an ex JW. My sister is a JW and she always says she gets points for preaching. Where is that in the Bible and what the heck does she mean by points?
I love this guys delivery. As someone trying to leave JW for the second time 😑, I appreciate this and I pray for all JW's to wake up, including my family, or at least may God forgive them because they are being decieved
I hope you got out again. I left in 2020 after 34 years in (from when I was 9). It took several months to disentangle but thankfully God worked on my heart, changed it, and drew me to Him. There is freedom in Christ after Watchtower!
This is such an amazing testimony Jeff..you truly demonstrated Love of God with our fellow sister..this is how you could reach out to the JW. I'm from India and my neighbours are JW's.. nice ppl but for some reason they try their best to get me to listen to them n have discussions..like what thy kingdom come means..Thank God for Jesus!! I just try not to get defensive 😊10 but I'm now confident of how to approach them in the near future.. God bless you Mike!
@@jdilla999 Have you read Malachi chapter 4:5-6 the last book in the old Testament. Elijah was to prepare a way for the LORD, and that Elijah is referring to "John the Baptist " (Luke 1:17) Jesus said he is the Elijah who was to come. (Matthew 11:14 ; see also Matthew 17:12-13 ; Mark 9:12-13) Which LORD is to come the one and only LORD of the old Testament, who happens to be Jesus, God in the Flesh. My thoughts are not your thoughts and your ways are not my ways says the LORD. As the Heaven's are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. (Isaiah 55:8-9)
As an ex Jehovah witness and now a Christian I am so thankful for you and the way you talked to these ladies. You show the love of Christ in the way you live and talk to these women. Praying for them all. I have lots of family that have not spoken to me in years. Thank you !
God has put JWs on my heart!! And I always go and love on them, whenever I get the chance. Great job brother!!!! And way to to lovingly share the truth!!🙌🏼✝️

@@Thlastday00 There is no such thing as a Trinitarian 'Christian' - Jesus taught no such thing - no scripture in the bible supports the idea that there are 3 co-equal gods.
@@Tony07UK When Jesus gave the first commandment love God with all heart he was not talking about him he actually obey that commandment Because Jesus came to the will of his Father who is in heaven not himself he said it many times. John 5:30 I cannot do a single thing of my own initiative. Just as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous because I seek, not my own will, but the will of him who sent me. John 14:31 But for the world to know that I love the Father, I am doing just as the Father has commanded me to do. Get up, let us go from here. John 15:9 Just as the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; remain in my love.
Thank you guys ! I’ve been hoping you would speak with JWs more. I come from a family of JWs and I’m learning more by the grace of the Lord and your ministry to witness to them Edit: 4 years later, and it’s amazing looking back on how God moved in my life.
Jehovah witnesses are more loving and forgiving than any one union. ask yourselves this. if jesus and god are 1 person why would jesus be praying to himself. and in the bible it clearly states not to mark your skin and yet he has many tatoos the poor lady is 1 in a million. and to think that you are trying to PREACH untrue words out of your mouth to the one TRUE religion is sickening. take a second to think of what each side is saying. which side is doing it for videos and which side is doing it for there LIFE. and if god wanted us in heaven why did he put us here. why would such a loving god banish us to hell when he himself knows we are imperfect! I am one of jehovahs witnesses and I am 13. how many 13 year olds know that much about the TRUTH that ARENT a Jehovah witness.
20tomnelson, and yet even after she told him to leave her alone and he felt the need not to listen. Not many locals take kindly to that kind of persistence. I wouldn’t be surprised if this guy gets cracks from the Kanaks that live here. No, leave me alone, means no, leave me alone. Men all over the U.S are getting into serious trouble with the law for not abiding by this very simple request.
@Ingrid Garcia Man, (or woman), that was some kind of rant. I guess when Jesus preached people were saying similar things, same when his disciples did. Maybe you should just calm down as that is the only way to think clearly, OK?
@Ingrid Garcia I don't have a problem with him talking his beliefs to anyone. I have a problem with him secretly recording them. Those women were still kind to him after they said no. He did not do the courtesy to them by telling them they were being recorded.. How would you feel if someone engaged you in a religious discussion or any discussion to find out they had done this for the purpose of posting it on youtube without your concent?
I was raised a JW and left the practice when I was 16 years old, (I am now 59). This pastor was amazing! Such love and truth and it came through in his talking with them. They didn't want to talk with him because they were not confident enough in their knowledge to have a debate with him. The followers don't know the Bible as well as they think they do and it is a real challenge for them to debate someone who is well versed. JW's are not allowed to research the Bible anywhere but from the JW resources. Their faith and allegiance to the JW group itself is carefully guarded by the elders, Watchtower society, whatever you want to call their leaders. Planting a tiny seed of doubt can be all it takes to get them to look beyond the JW information and that seed can lead to their salvation. I pray that the seed that this pastor planted will grow and and cause them to throw JW rules aside and research for themselves and be saved.
wylo lister really ? Why ? Not because he was saying he is God . He said the Pharisees didn’t understand him because they were from their father Satan . And don’t say it’s because Jesus said. “I AM” ( ego eimi ) because this is not the divine name revealed to Moses. I can quote other scriptures which us the same word ( ego eimi / l Am ) Luke 1:19 When the Ángel Gabriel said “l am / ego eimi “ Same word used in John 8:58 Are we supposed to believe that the Ángel Gabriel is Yahweh? Luke 22:33 When Peter said to Jesus “ l am / ego eimi “ prepared to go to prison and to death for you . Is Yahweh prepared to go to prison and to death for you? Make”s no sense. In the Greek Septuagint God’s name in Greek translation is “ ego eimi ho on “ meaning “ l am the being , or l am the existence”
@@MaryMary-cj7wl True, as the Bible says we cannot grasp this (mystery). Phillipians 2:5-7 - 5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, *existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,* 7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in human likeness.… 1 Timothy 3:16 - Beyond all question, *the mystery from which true godliness springs is great:* He appeared in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory. Colossians 2:9 says Jesus has "fullness" of deity, god ship, Godhead. Is that "fullness" 100%, 50%, or 33% ???
wylo lister your heresy is exactly that . Jesus Christ is the son of the living God they are not equal! And above all it is not a mystery that we cannot understand God is not a God of confusion first off. “ THIS MEANS EVERLASTING LIFE , THEIR TAKING IN KNOWLEDGE OF YOU, THE ONLY TRUE GOD , AND OF THE ONE YOU SENT FORTH JESUS CHRIST. “ John 17:3 Are you saying that Jesus was fully human and fully god?

Wooooow!! I just have to say you are teaching me so much.. not just about the truth of Christianity, but more so how to approach and talk to people. I can be too forceful and end up in an arguement and instead of reaching people I push them away, but I believe God guided me to your videos to learn how to get people to listen. You do it so well and you make it look like an art I want to learn. Thank you!! And praise God for bringing me to your videos. You are very good at getting people to contemplate ideas, you don't offend and you don't leave people feeling disrespected. I love it and am watching in awe at your technique! Beautifully done!!

JWs claim to be God's channel of communication, God's voice on earth, claim that their literature/words are "food from God", that they have the "truth" and have "accurate knowledge". Can truth and accurate knowledge be wrong, incorrect, mistake filled decade after decade?
@@wylolister3218 If you read the Bible, you'll find that humans have a very long history of making terrible mistakes, and the JW's are no exception to the rule With that said, I'm confident that they will learn in time either by experience of force - though in spite of that, they appear to have one of the most advanced Bible research library on the internet.
@@SmalltimR And yet they have gone beyond scripture. Who made them say anything about 1844, 1879, 1914,1915, 1918, 1919, 1925, 1936, 1940's, 1950's, 1960's,1975, 2000,ect? Those are man's dates or they come from Satan! Just mistakes that those false dates are in their literature they call "food FROM God"? Mistakes? Dates and events that God did not speak, that did not come true?
@@SmalltimR Are warnings in the Bible about false prophets, false teachers, wolves in sheep's clothing mistakes? Are you saying the Bible has mistakes? Scriptures that mean nothing? If God, spirit, Jesus are feeding them spiritual food why have they gone beyond scripture with their so called "mistakes"? Again, did anyone make them make these false spiritual utterances? Can a true religion just throw things against the wall and the false ones that don't stick just become mistakes, oops, like leaving the milk out on the counter. All in God's supposed name? Mistakes?
@@wylolister3218 Under the circumstances, I'm fairly certain that most all mistakes in this regard would qualify as beyond scripture - otherwise, I'm thinking they wouldn't be mistakes With that said, when we consider doctrines such as the trinity along with those believing in it, it becomes obvious that humans have been plagued with such problems for a very long time - for example; if you read the Old Testament, you'll find that God's people were subject to none-stop corruption throughout Bible history - as nearly every single subject fell short before God in some form or another. But that doesn't mean they were lost however, as the Bible reveals that God continued to care for His people even when they made terrible mistakes. That is why Jesus' commandments imply that we never give-up - be it; fighting for the truth, doing what's right or saving others - the model remains the same As for religions, here again, this comes down to context - our salvation was never dependent on religion, but more accurately, the ransom sacrifice of Jesus Christ. And while it is true that religions play an integral role in the worship of God, it remains that it is the people themselves who are responsible for such deviance, and not the Bible. That is why religions have so many issues. Whereas the truth of God on the other hand, has no issues. As the issues stem from people's desire for ear-tickling words beyond scriptures, as they seek to satisfy their own desires rather than God's. However, and with all that being said, so-long as religions are made-up of imperfect people, so-too will there be there be imperfect religions - and no one in the Bible demonstrated this better than the Apostles Paul. However and with all that being said, the good news is, that followers of Christ where never required or obligated to adhere to man-made doctrines or rituals. As Jesus assures use that His spirit will be given to any two or more gathering in His name. And so at the end of the day it is by their fruits that we distinguish true followers of Christ from the false ones. For example, if a person says we cannot be saved unless we believed in the trinity, then that person is not speaking the truth of God Similarly, if a person says we cannot be saved unless we believed in specific dates, then that person is not speaking the truth of God either, as there are no such words written anywhere in the Bible - see how that works? As for religions, it remains that these are man-made provisions intended to facilitate our worship of God on earth. And it is up-to each and every one of us to honor God and His Son Christ Jesus by putting our best foot forward in doing so.
God I love jeff Durbin ! This is a great example of preaching the gospel like Paul did without being disrespectful !!!! That’s how it’s done ! The way he approached these ladies and talked to them was amazing !
J. Huff Humble ; how does one not see how disrespectful of not only those who God himself reveals as his people at' Isaiah 43:3,7,10-13; but also is dis-respectful of Christ's God' and dis-respectful also of God's Son Jesus himself' whom Jesus refered to as the ONE who is greater than he himself' see Jesus' words at John 14:28; God wants all sorts of people to come to an accurate knowledge' 1Timothy 2:3-7; and Christ's words in his last recorded prayer to his God at John 17:1-26; we should appreciate a dying man's words' who's more so than the Son of God Jesus Christ' .. look up the meaning of the names Elijah' and Jesus' as well that of Hallelu-Jah'
Len Philippians 2 v 6-8 If you read these verses then you will see that Jesus is equal to the Father, and that he will not use his equality with the Father for his advantage in verse 6. Then in verse 7 Jesus took on the form of a servant and made in the likeness of men. So Jesus became a servant. Then in verse 8 Jesus humbled himself and became obedient unto death. So when Jesus took on flesh then he had all the weaknesses of man, also he humbled himself and became obedient, these are the reasons why Jesus said that the Father is greater than I, and why Jesus prayed to the Father, and so on and so forth. The Trinity is true and Jesus is equal to the Father (John 5 v 18)
He was not kind and respectful. overdoing it way to much and then way to forceful. not to mention lying intentionally knowing how they would believe him.
Drizneyland Humble???? He's filming and recording it to play for his channel so he can show everybody how wonderful he is and get all these pats on the back from you blind people
He just happened to be there with his hidden cameras and mic's . Yeah good one Jeff. You are a star. Have you read the bible about actually being humble? How would you like to be setup? One day it will happen. I have many scriptures laid out to disprove the trinity. I don't know why you don't see them? Have you actually read the bible? If you respond to this I would be happy to quote them for you
Brother, you taught the "real truth" to the JW. God bless you for allowing the Holy Spirit to speak through you, as God would not have anyone perish and go to hell.
@Tonya Williams The christian position is ... one where there is a god who has an important message for mankind, and somehow he only reveals it to certain individuals who then write this down and thousands of years after this initial revelation, we have to rely on copies of copies of translations of copies by anonymous authors with no originals, and the textual testimony to a miracle, for example the loaves and fishes; there’s no amount of reports - anecdotal testimonial reports - that could be sufficient to justify that this event actually happened as reported. No amount. And anything that would qualify as a god would clearly understand this, and if it wanted to convey this information to people in a way that was believable, would not be relying on text to do so, and this for me is the nail in the coffin for Christianity. The god that Christians believe in is amazingly stupid if it wants to actually achieve its goal of spreading this information to humanity by relying on text; by relying on languages that die out; by relying on anecdotal testimony. That's not a pathway to truth! And anything that would qualify for a god should know this, which means either that God doesn’t exist or it doesn't care enough about those people who understand the nature of evidence to actually present it. Now which of those possibilities do you think is accurate? Matt Dillahunty. Me: If a god actually did exist in ''reality'' there would be no disputes, arguements & endless debates about it. There would be no need for faith & greedy corrupt, tax exempt pasters & ''mega churches.!!!!
@@@rudyell Who are you to tell me about my character.? I have a clean record, never been in trouble with the law, i am happily married with 3 children & 4 grand children, i have NEVER i repeat NEVER done wrong by anyone in my life. I admit i'm not perfect, i'm human, i make mistakes, (we all do) but i learn from my mistakes & become a WISER person for it. My parents taught me ''right from wrong'' at an early age, and brought me up to be a considerate law abiding citizen. I'm always supportive to my family & friends, always there if they need me, i give to charity whenever i can, so please don't judge me, is you're backyard ''squeaky clean''.?? Also you mentioned ''faith'', why would you believe anything on faith? Faith isn't a pathway to truth. Every religion has some sort of faith, people take things on, you know, if faith is your pathway to truth, you can't distinguish between Christianity, Hinduism, Judaism, any of these others. How is it that you use reason as a path to truth in every endeavor of your life, and then when it comes to what you think is the ‘ultimate truth’ you're saying that faith is required.??? And how does that reflect on a god (who supposedly exists and wants you to have this information) what kind of god requires faith instead of evidence? ... I have reasonable expectations based on evidence. I have trust that has been earned. I will grant trust tentatively. I don't have faith. Faith is the excuse people give for believing something when they don't have evidence.
Wow. You are a blessing to me, with these videos I can read the text. God certainly gives me the mind of understanding but you point the way. Thank you pastor Jeff. I have been laid off for some time so money is tight. However that will not last and your message is what I want to help support. Without your asking. Thank you again.

It's ridiculous how many things you spoke about are adding up to 666. on what I'm showing below. Please look at it and let me know what you think you need to share this with everybody because it's the mystery to Revelation verse 13 : 17 to 18 My video called "English Gematria part 1, 444 mathematical evidence" explains this. PLEASE watch it before the devil lies to u about this. Numbers dont lie - just add the value of each letter. This is the mystery to Revelation chapter 13 :17 -18 A=6 B=12 C=18 D=24 E=30 F=36 g=42 h=48 I=54 j=60 K=66 L=72 M=78 N=84 O=90 P=96 Q=102 R=108 S=114 T=120 U=126 V=132 W=138 X=144 Y=150 Z=156.

New york = 666 JOSHUA = 444. corrupt = 666 CROSS = 444. Slaughter = 666 GOSPEL = 444. Computer = 666 PREACHER = 444. Insanity = 666 PARABLES 444 FINISHED =444 FRUIT = 444 CLOUDS = 444. I am saved = 444 Menorah = 444 THE NAMES THAT ADD UP TO THE SAME NUMBER WILL ALWAYS ADD UP TO THE SAME NUMBER NO MATTTER WHAT VALUE YOU START A WITH. I If we used the simplest formula: A=1 B=2 C=3 etc etc , the values of the names will still be the same. All the 444 names would add up to 74 because going from A=6 to A=1 changes it by a sixth. Therefore all the 666 findings would all be 111. The bible says and I quote " Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666." A wise person(He who has understanding) can look at the 111 findings with the simple formula and realize that to make them 666 you just have to change the A=1 to A=6 and now you have the correct Bible formula. 60 minutes in an hour is a base of 6 and 360 degrees in a circle is a base of 6 ,that is why English Gematria is done that way . I'snt that wild? 444 patterns match up with the old testament and 666 and 444 patterns match up with the new testament. This means that the Old and New testament without collusion, perfectly coincide And connect like pieces of a puzzle with a Language that was not started until thousands of years later. ( Impossible) Without God What are the odds of these results happening by pure chance? The calculator doesn’t go that high. I was confused on why lucifer added up to 444 until I read Ezekiel in the Old Testament. Ezekiel called Lucifer a cherubim and described a cherubim as 4 creatures with 4 heads and 4 wings. I refer to a cherubim as a 444 angel. Here are some others. MENORAH = 444 FRUIT = 444 THE KING = 444 INCREASE = 444 ENERGY = 444 Melody = 444 ( Was given to us to worship.) CODE OF GOD = 444 the odds on this pattern developing is just simply impossible. No one can get that lucky that every major word involving them could add up to the same number. Go ahead, check your name and list all things that have to do with you and see how many match. How could Jesus get this lucky. There was no English language till 1500 years after he died. How did this happen? The only reasonable explanation would be that the authors of the Bible were initiates to a higher wisdom and knowledge and these authors universally applied mathematical principles of Gematria and or sacred geometry to encrypt this wisdom in the Bible such that it could be conveyed to future generation..
Daniel Mogavero Yes in the sense that wife and husband points the the same goals, but they are two separate persons. The same applies to Jehovah and Jesus.

You go against 2,000 years of church history and more importantly what the Holy Scriptures teach. Sadly, one cannot be a Christian and reject the Trinity, this is heretical teaching, please repent from this false teaching.
Biblical Christianity listen to yourself. The church teaching you're referring too is the catholic religion. The oppressive wolves that tortured and mutilated people during the Spanish inquisition. The same "church" the drove Bloody Mary Tudor to murder hundreds because they saw the false teaching. Under the catholic church it was heresy to have a bible of your own or try to translate it from Latin. They are the ones who added Christmas and Easter and yet if you had the spine to find out where your cherished traditions come from you'd probably vomit. The bible says Jehovah your God is One Jehovah. The book of Isaiah refers to him as the One many times as does the rest of the bible. Go to Wikipedia and look up king James version if you can work up the nerve you'll find how many times its been revised and not for the good.
Denise Stout I am not Roman Catholic but I am an Evangelical Christian and what Rome did was wrong, yes. But the church the group of believers were among these false Christians, God's church had been in existence for 2,000 years, His elect children were scattered across the globe and never ceased to exist. The very early Christians were called catholic and they were nothing like the Roman Catholic church today because the Pope did not exist, purgatory did not exist etc.. Andif you reject the doctrine of the Holy Trinity, I have huge concerns for you. It is to go against the Holy Scriptures and to reject the Gospel because it is to believe a different false Jesus who is not the Word incarnate in John 1:1-4, 14.
2:11 I agree with you 100% Pastor! My family of 3 through the grace of God evangelize on a daily basis we are taking notes. ALL believers are called to share the gospel -Mark 16:15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. if the Holy Spirit is giving you that nudge and you are afraid of not knowing what to say: God always meets us where we are at. -Matthew 10:20 “For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.” We have a genuine love for the lost as we too were once lost. “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?
The gospel is indeed very important to preach everywhere. This is my understanding. Tell me if you agree with it. *THE GOOD NEWS* God sent His Son to be the messiah. Jesus gave his life so we can have everlasting life, if we exercise faith in Jesus, and his sacrifice. That sacrifice opened the way for the kingdom, God's kingdom, to be established. That kingdom was foretold to destroy human governments, and to then rule forever. Bringing about conditions that mankind longs for. Like this: (Revelation 21:3, 4) With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
Notice how the Holy Spirit draws souls to Himself. Im so encouraged. This happens to me. Thank you Lord for giving us yiur Spirit to obey you and love your Gospel. Amen!

These old ladies are so close to hearing " Depart From Me, I Never Knew You " they need to REPENT and leave this man made cult asap. It was a blessing that Jeff came to them....Jesus will most likely say to them...." I Sent Jeff To YOU To Help You See The TRUTH About Me And You Rejected Him, So I Will Grant You The Same And Reject You "
One of the tell tell signs of a cult is if the people within it are unwilling to interact with those whom they disagree. Jehovahs Witness will only interact with people they can preach at. I tell people, never be afraid of the truth.
They like to debate people who are weak in faith and that don't read the scriptures. They rather debate than what is good for a person that wants to be a Christian.

As an exJW I can testify that this organization is built on a spirit of PRIDE and a need to be “right”. This is what undermines much of our efforts. This man who is ministering is revealing how to properly minister because he came in the spirit of HUMILITY and love. Only Holy Spirit could have prepared such a transaction.

Colossians 1 on creation is easily solved: God is not a created being so that leaves Him out from all the creation that came Through Jesus. I wish JWs hadn't added the [ ] to that Scripture because it is self explained in many other Scriptures God is a not a created being. And "only Begotten" DOES mean having been created, or giving birth to. "The Great Tribulation" will without fail catch you in your anger. It will catch your suddenly. It is coming. God has always had on organization on Earth and they bore his name. Gods name is that important. Ancient Israel committed many, many sins, but Jehovah kept forgiving them. In the first and into the second AD, again God established his chosen people through his only begotten son, Jesus Christ. They, too, sinned and did many errors, but God chose them because his word must be fulfilled. Jesus helped a prostitute from the stones of the Jews and other onlookers, a prostitute, and they saw Jesus spoke with love and forgiveness, yes, even a prostitute. God has always, it has never failed, had an organized chosen people. Jews denied Gods only begotten son, and then persecuted him and had him killed. And they still don't recognize Jesus Christ as The Messiah, as Gods only begotten son. It can't be them. All other religions ignore the Bibles core teachings and instead follow their own theories. I hope. Yes, some JWs have done serious sins, and while they support the 'two witness' pattern, set forth by none other than Gods word itself, there is no way in the intellectual and wise and reasonable system they should all be blamed. They follow the order set into print by none other than God, Jehovah. Gods name is found some 7,000 times in the Hebrew Scriptures, all, all in praise worthy and approval ways. Jesus and the apostles quoted from those specific Scriptures so it is clear Gods name must have been spoken and taught to all listeners in the first and into the second centuries AD. Of course JWs are going to sin, they are imperfect, that is why they have a disfellowshipping order, just as God wants or demands. "Do not even sit with anyone called a brother" says Gods word (1 Corinthians 5:9-13 [focus namely on 11 for the point]). Gods word must be fulfilled, completely, so Isaiah 2:2-4 must take place, but when? "In the last days." Daniel also wrote concerning Gods word and fulfillment at Daniel 12:7-10; "Then one said to the man clothed with the linen, who was up above the waters of the stream: 'How long will it be to the end of the wonderful things?' And I began to hear the man clothed with the linen, who was up above the waters of the stream, as he proceeded to raise his right [hand] and his left [hand] to the heavens and to swear by the One who is alive for time indefinite: 'It will be for an appointed time, appointed times and a half. And as soon as there will have been a finishing of the dashing of the power of the holy people to pieces, all these things will come to their finish.' Now as for me, I heard, but I could not understand; so that I said: 'O my lord, what will be the final part of these things?” And he went on to say: 'Go, Daniel, because the words are made secret and sealed up until the time of [the] end. Many will cleanse themselves and whiten themselves and will be refined. And the wicked ones will certainly act wickedly, and no wicked ones at all will understand; but the ones having insight will understand.'" This supports Isaiah above. Acts 15:14-18 supports this, too. Malachi 3:16, 17, supports all of it, that Gods people will carry His name and they will be His people, as imperfect as they may be. But Gods core commandments will be His peoples core works and reason for their faith. They "abstain from blood" and they abstain from 'violence/war,' and they abstain from praying to saints, and they abstain from worshiping idols, and they abstain from pagan holidays, and they worship Jehovah God alone, making the correct distinction between God and his only begotten son, Jesus Christ. And they as united as expected by God: just as they were unified in ancient Israel, and just as they unified in early True Christianity, so it must be in the "last days." No other religion are like JWs because Gods word must and will be fulfilled. They love each other so dearly just as Jesus commended them to, but the love for God must come first, and then for Jesus, therefore they Obey the instructions in Gods word first, regardless if it's to your and yours distaste and dislike. God is first in their lives. Everyone knows this. Everyone. There is no other religion (Christian) on the planet so unified, that the only explanation is they must have Gods holy spirit. Philippians 2:1-8 backs this unity without question. They were united in same way, style and form of worship in Israeli times, and also in True early Christianity times, and so it must be in the last days. Gods word WILL be totally fulfilled. No other religion is all over the world in such unity preaching and teaching "the good news of Gods kingdom" as are JWs: no one come close. Matthew 28:19, 20 and Matthew 24:14 is being fulfilled. And will continue to until "the end" comes. There are sinners who come out from all religions, but JWs will stick with Gods word and will, if found guilty according to GODS word, disfellowship whoever member. The rest, whether in court or whatever any country does, is in Gods hands and/or the government system God has put in place. And for their works and faith, for their beliefs, they are hated by false religion (99pc), and by the world. But that makes them happy, because it is God, Jehovah, who they please above all others. For their works, and faith, and beliefs, they were the targets of Hate in the first and into the second centuries AD. They were called names, cult, and worse, but it made them happy because its Gods Word that is first in their lives. No other religion has Gods approval: none. Gods word will be fulfilled. One thing you all get wrong is, you think all religions in the world are THEIR religion, and while that is mostly true, it is GOD himself who has His own religion. Every one from anywhere is able to "come and drink life's water free." Many have made that change. Many have come to Jehovah. It is their choice, not the or a religions' choice. Gods people have always had a governing body, which is why they have always been unified: Gods word must be fulfilled and completed. It is Gods doing. It must come to fulfillment. Peace. PS: JWs are not there or here to fight, but teach and preach Gods word accurately. Those two "pastors" wanted nothing more than a "fight," lol, even if it seemed peaceful. They are doing it for RUclips views: JWs do it for Gods name to be made known, and therefore for Gods approval. There is a huge difference. And, they approached two Young ladies. I want to see those "pastors" have a discussion with two mature Witnesses and see what happens. There will be peace, but the "pastors" wont because they can't win...

JESUS IS GOD, HE FORGIVE SIN, AND ONLY GOD CAN DO THAT. JESUS SAID IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION: Revelation 22:13-21 ) 13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

@@chequehook68 yeah except jesus was speaking aramaic. The words ego eimi was written in Greek. The jews listening to jesus would've had to translate the aramaic into Hebrew then compare it to the greek translation of exodus 6. Pretty sure it's just a story and who knows what its intent is. I'd wager that it was to assert that jesus is jehovah but there's no way it really happened that way, and the jws probably have the English translation right "i have been."
TETRAGRAMMATON Philippians 2 v 6-8 In these verses you will see Jesus is equal to the Father in verse 6, and in verses 7&8 Jesus humbled himself as a servant and became obedient. Before Jesus humbled himself he is equal to the Father (John 5 v 18), when he took on flesh then God became his God (Jeremiah 32 v 27 the God of all flesh) Jesus when he took on flesh he had to live the life of a human with all of our weaknesses, so that when he was crucified he beat sin as a human. His flesh was weak, and that is why Jesus said that the Father was greater than I, and why Jesus prayed to the Father, and why the Father is the head of Christ. Jesus is a part of the Trinity, and the Trinity is the one God.

The Bible teaches: THE FATHER RAISED JESUS "We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life (Romans 6:4). Again in Galatians: "Paul, an apostle - sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead (Galatians 1:1) JESUS RAISED HIMSELF Jessus speaking about the temple of his body( and his death and resurrection): "Then the Jews demanded of him, "What miraculous sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?" Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days (John 2:18,19)." Again: "No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father (John 10:18)." The Holy Spirit raised Jesus: "And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you (Romans 8:11)." Again: "For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit (1 Peter 3:18)." God raised Jesus: But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him (Acts 2:24). But God raised him from the dead on the third day and caused him to be seen (Acts 10:40). But God raised him from the dead (Acts 13:30).
This is how to discuss this subject….. all across the board. Amazing job done by this fella. He needs cloning and inserting into every religion with these views in said religion and then putting in charge of every nation. Earth would be a great place i reckon. There would no wars just a nations sit-down every once in for a chat “ how are you? I love you all, thanks guys see you again in a few years time”.. job done hahah
@@smalltimer4370 True, the Bible isn't clear on who Jesus is. Too many corrupted scriptures in God's own Word. Too many opinions. or God IS the author of confusion.
I was working at a house with three older Jehovah's Witnesses and in my heart it was breaking for them and I thought if I really love them I will talk with him just like Jeff here. And I never did I prayed for them before I went to my next job just begging God to give me boldness and a deeper love help me break the ice thanks for the video
Jesse Gulino what message were you going to give Jehovahs Witnesses? Is it the message that Jesus told us at Matthew 24: 14 because after the kingdom is preached in the inhabited Earth then the end will come. Or are you going to come over there and tell him Jesus Is God and that God is a trinity and hellfire and the Pagan cross is that what you're going to talk about? That is not what Jesus commanded us to preach
The fact that you couldn't get up the boldness shows the holy spirit isn't with you. That's why Jehovah's witnesses are so courageous its not easy having people say ugly things about or to you but we don't mind and this guy Jeff he wasted his time and he knows it. How does that bring glory to God?? Sad
Denise Stout paul asks the believers to pray for him that he may have boldness . New Testament teaches we should pray for boldness acts 4. Ephesians. I didn't see these jehovahs witnesses saying anything to me I guess They don't have the spirit of God. That's not how the Bible teaches someone's is of the fold of God. I am not ashamed of the Gospel for it is the power of God for salvation. The holt spirit can convert anyone especially paul who persecuted and Mildred christians. If I was suppose to share something with them and I didn't it's my sin I need to repent of. Read your bible please and stop with this rhetoric that's not biblically based at all just your opinion that has no weight or authority
Very lovingly & knowledgeably done Bro Jeff. My best neighbor was a high ranked JW and super trustworthy - he watched our house, fed our animals when on vacation & we reciprocated with them. Our friendship was warm and we spoke often of our Faith in Christ but had to depart when getting to the nut of true Salvation in Jesus Christ. I came to see that Harold was trusting in the Watchtower Organization mainly, as if IT was the Holy Spirit ! Maybe that's a clue as to why doctrinally they reject the Holy Spirit & Trinity. But in terms of conduct & honesty Harold was stellar. I think the witnesses gain their "traction" two ways: 1) Kingdom Emphasis And 2) Good works & ethics. In these 2 areas they overmatch 2 of 3 Christian's, sad to say. I believe the cults are the unpaid bills of the church. If this is so, then all repentant believers need to learn even from these groups, about how our witness to the culture is lacking !
Dude does not know Hebrew, the Hebrew term used at Isaiah 9:6 shows a definite distinction between the Son and God. There the Son is called “Mighty God,” ʼEl Gib·bohrʹ, not “Almighty God.” That term in Hebrew is ʼEl Shad·daiʹ and applies uniquely to Jehovah God.
Most of their motivations are either social (wanting to fit in, not be looked at sideways for slacking), not wanting to be destroyed at Armageddon, or wanting to get to live forever. Not true love. That’s made clear in a lot of their practices and their conditional love. As a former witness, I appreciate what you’re doing and the manner in which you do it, even as someone who no longer believes in any religion. Keep helping people out of a cult if you can. Even if it’s not into any particular religion, you’d be saving them from not having an enjoyable or fulfilling life.
Who in their right mind would want to be destroyed at Armageddon? Jesus' warnings were not intended to make people feel warm and fuzzy Likewise, the promise of everlasting life was clearly intended to make people want it And finally and on the matter of condition love, such reasoning is reminiscent of an underdeveloped child who has yet to come to terms moral accountability - to which I'd add, be it love or justice, one way or another, everyone learns that life does not consist of doing whatever we want without consequence. At any rate, it doesn't need to be said that you are not of GOD, as your disposition is one death without the hope of everlasting life, which speaks volumes of the quality of your so-called message. But try as you may and as much as you hate it, people can and will continue to put faith in the hope of everlasting life with GOD, and in fear of loosing that which is most precious - case and point, Satan has already lost my friend, and so now you get to gnash your teeth along with him until your own judgement comes to past
@@johnbee1069 You seem very angry for one of the happiest people on earth, John. Joking aside, to be honest, I don’t care if people believe in any of it or not, IF they’re happy doing it. You speak to me as though you know anything about me. I don’t disagree that all actions have consequences, I just don’t believe in any of this, so to me it’s not worth it. None of it. You can say all this about Satan having lost, ok, cool? I’m not on Satan’s side. I DO NOT believe he exists lol. I don’t know why you’re even here, it doesn’t seem like a very Witness thing to do, but I’ll just tell you this, if you’re happy believing what you believe, go for it. I just don’t want the people who are not happy living that life to be afraid of an Armageddon that isn’t coming. Because I don’t believe that it is. And I lived a good part of my life afraid of it, guilty and afraid. If it were all true, MAYBE it would be worth it to some people. Me? I don’t think so. Even if I still believed it, a god who would take that sort of action, killing billions, even though through him, “ALL things are possible,” it just shows that he wants to do it. He just wants to kill everyone. And for what? For not giving him devotion? That is true selfishness. Nothing loving about killing your kids because they didn’t know or couldn’t be convinced that you existed. And if them knowing you exist is so important, maybe say hello some day. Your comments about, “warm and fuzzy” feelings don’t mean anything to me. I haven’t had a warm and fuzzy life and I don’t imagine that I ever will. I’m not exactly sure where that came from. If anything, witness propaganda and video releases are the things that try to make people feel warm and fuzzy. Blasting inspirational music to images of Jesus riding in on a magical cloud to save them while they’re surrounded by armies of men, who are after them because they’re the only religion who decided to keep practicing lol. Witnesses crying in their seats watching it. That’s warm and fuzzy nonsense imo. If you’re truly happy with your religion, keep it up, no sense in talking to apostates online. You aren’t even supposed to be. But I would advise you to do your thorough research on the organization that you’re in if you have doubts. Because after the things I found out, there’s no way that the witness religion is true. That I know for sure. Maybe the Bible is true, Idk, I doubt it. But the witnesses have themselves a cult. And if Jehovah is running that cult, he’s either evil or he doesn’t care. Look into it. Unless you’re happy. If you’re happy, stay ignorant and wait your whole life hoping for the promised paradise. Because you will live your whole life waiting.

I’m an Ex JW, its taken me probably six years to get over leaving it. It’s like working through stages off grief, your upset, then angry, feel resentment and want revenge, it then seems to go two ways and ppl can dedicate their lives to exposing their practices (which I’m not going to condemn as some ppl have been truly wronged or you feel sorry for them and want to help them. It took 2y for me to pick another Bible up, and probably another year until I went to a church, both still seemed like I was betraying them. The problem is that most of the JWs inc my family think everyone who’s not a JW is working for the devil, literally. It’s extremely hard even using just the Bible to get them to accept that any teaching from the GB is wrong, then when it turns out to be wrong it just a matter of the light getting brighter. You have a group of men, who have said they are neither infallible or even inspired that 8 million ppl will obey without question. They will not look up scriptures that prove their teaching wrong, you can use their own literature to prove their teachings wrong but it still doesn’t matter. The trick is to break the link with the top! Thankfully since covid they haven’t met at Kingdom Halls or been knocking on doors, so the control is not as tight. I’m now a Christian, and I pray that this cult is toppled, as Jeff said in the video they are very zealous and 99% are good people. They just don’t believe in the Trinity, which takes away Jesus deity and allows the GB to call him Michael or a god (a false god) therefore they don’t view him as deserving worship, they view him only as a Adam. I wish they would all read The Forgotten Trinity by James White, that woke me up, made me realise the truth, that J I Packers Knowing God, RC Holiness of God, books by John MacArthur and some loving Christians on Ex JW forums. The Holy Spirit led me to Jesus Christ, He’s now my Lord and saviour, and I want for the witnesses what I now have but never had as a JW - A relation with Jesus Christ - It’s changed my life in so many ways. I used to write poems on my FB and you can see where the anger turns to love! Much love to you and what a awesome video, you showed a lot of respect. This was why I left the org or why they disfellowshipped me ruclips.net/video/MGbcPhW-Afg/видео.html
Out of curiosity, which Bible did you pick? The trinity is a work of the devil btw, putting faith in the likes of James White after raising issue with the JW leaders is akin to going from the frying pan into the fire; 𝚃𝚑𝚞𝚜 𝚜𝚊𝚢𝚜 𝚈𝚊𝚑𝚠𝚎𝚑, 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚁𝚎𝚍𝚎𝚎𝚖𝚎𝚛, 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚑𝚎 𝚠𝚑𝚘 𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚖𝚎𝚍 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚏𝚛𝚘𝚖 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚠𝚘𝚖𝚋: "𝙸 𝚊𝚖 𝚈𝚊𝚑𝚠𝚎𝚑, 𝚠𝚑𝚘 𝚖𝚊𝚔𝚎𝚜 𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚜; 𝚠𝚑𝚘 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝚜𝚝𝚛𝚎𝚝𝚌𝚑𝚎𝚜 𝚘𝚞𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚟𝚎𝚗𝚜; 𝚠𝚑𝚘 𝚜𝚙𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚍𝚜 𝚘𝚞𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚑 𝐛𝐲 𝐦𝐲𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟; - 𝙸𝚜𝚊𝚒𝚊𝚑 𝟺𝟺.𝟸𝟺 Quite obviously, there is no trinity with the GOD of the Christian Bible, but that won't stop the children of the devil from spreading lies in his stead. Such is the world we live-in, steeped with lies and deceit - a world fit for the devil himself
Praise Jesus I left many many years ago myself. It was a horrific exit and years of pain after even being saved. The ptsd is real. Since I was saved in 1996, I’ve been praying the entire organization is toppled as well. We do this by following Jesus and loving as He leads us. This video is reflecting answered prayers from our prayer closets. One day you’ll have more freedom than you even can express. I bless you with JOY abundantly
@@gratefultobehere Wow, it’s so nice to hear of someone who found Jesus too. Think as we were JWs that’s exactly what happened, as He isn’t in the Org, or the head of it, they aren’t Christians (they don’t follow Christ) and when you go to Church, you visit the body of Christ. I think I knew that straight away! I hope you’re ok now from leaving, I’m seeing someone at the moment, and it’s amazing just how much the cult had / still has to a degree a say in the decisions I make and the thoughts I have! Let’s keep praying, it will be toppled but let’s hope as many ppl leave and become members of the Body of Christ as possible before it’s too late! God bless you!
Hi Jeff I’ve been listening to you and I am learning more about the Bible. Thank you and bless you and your ministry. I pray that God will strengthen you with His strength. And I pray for God to keep on giving you wisdom. In Jesus name. Be encouraged! Amen.
@BeefT-Sq Philippians 2. God added to himself the weakness of human flesh. He came to serve not be served. You wouldn't have breath in your lungs if he didn't make you and everything around you. He makes it rain on the wicked and the righteous. All good things come from God. His forgiveness came in the form of a man. Namely Jesus Christ. Who has dominion over ALL of heaven and earth, who has the name above ALL names. God.

As a former Jehovah's Witness, i found the first video Pastor Jeff did when he spoke to a Jehovah's Witness and even though i had been out of the organization for years, it woke me up. Since then my heart to reach out to cults and atheist has grown, so much so i have been able to really witness to my family member still associated with the JW's. I have really been able to point out the flaws in the organization and to talk about who Christ really is. I know I truly became a Calvinist because i approached them original in my stage cage point but now, i am able to talk to them clearly and claim. Pray God changes their hearts to see Christ for who he really is. Bless all the works you guys have done so far.
steven galvan . I totally understand your frustration. Don’t cut up to change people’s believes . If I say to you today we were genetically created by “Annunaki “you won’t believe and you will think I am 🥜. I am ex Muslim and believer of Jehovah . I believe many things . .........What do you believe is not important but how do you believe is. Let them enjoy the religious choice they made , there is nothing to loose but lot to gain. Most of Jehovah’s Witness are he sincere good people.that is more than enough for the 🌎.wow to the world what is about to take place.......
First of all we have not seen ur pastor preaching door to door but he found on street Jehovah's witnesses preaching and u say to urself pastor has done good..... Is it true? We thank you Jehovah giving us a very high education u made it to us as our own property and u made us gone very far to understand the trueth just because we were able to listen to you..... It's gonna be too late the world to recognize this truth....Jehovah ur the only God who deserves to be worshipped and u have not permitted not even to ur son this worship .... This means even ur son play to you Jehovah.... the things that u permitted to him is to become a King in heaven and here on earth and could read to one thousand years .. Thanks even ur son depends on you almighty Jehovah......
lawrence mwazembe; my brother in the one true faith'.. beautiful' words' .. comly are the feet that bring truth to people where ever they may be' Isaiah 52:6,7; to turn on Jehovah is to side with Satan as did the wicked nations of ancient times held in these lessons that have been lovingly preserved for the benefit of all generations.. 2Peter 2:1-14; thanks' you complimented me a little while ago' christian love'
@@len2842 thank you my brother in true faith.....when you read REVALATION 12: 7-11 you may know who's Michael archangel..... and u can read carefully Verse 11....Michael archangel he was not alone in cleaning the heavens....... Can they examine that! apart of Jesus Christ there is any angel from heaven came down here on earth and gave Surcrifice to human being? This was Jesus Christ with some few annointed ones because they defeated Satan by blood of Christ...... And this refers to GENESIS 3: 15 and JUDA VERSE 9 and 1PETER 1:19....but it's gonna be too difficult to agree this evidence of scriptures just because they know that Jesus is Almighty God himself..... If they could have known this JOHN 17:3 and REVALATION 1:1 and COLLOSIONS 1:15 they could have been removed from blinded eyes...... So! what should we speak upon them? Very hard to say... I just feel pit upon them.........
3:22 "I know that what motivates you to come out here - it *has* to be love" > No it doesn't have to be love. The fear of being destroyed at Armageddon if they don't preach; the requirement to hand in a monthly field service report; and the penalty of being labelled as "irregular" or "inactive" and the attendant harm such labels do to their reputation in the congregation, if they don't preach consistently enough; are all powerful motivators to get JWs out preaching. No love or holy spirit is actually required to motivate them to go out preaching, contrary to what the JWs claim. They only have to value their reputation in the congregation and have a fear of dying at Armageddon.
When I was a jw I would lie about my hours preached each month, so I wouldn't get in trouble with the elders and be counted inactive. Once your considered in active your friends and other jws would not hangout with you because you were viewed as a bad jw. Sad right. I didnot go out door to door because I loved people, I did it because I had too, i I hated knocking on doors, I was hoping no one was home and couldn't wait to get home. I'm no longer a jw. I'm happier and have true peace and love for myself and for all people . NowI enjoy shareing and talking about God and our Savior because I'm not forced too, it's because ive learned true love by reading and studying my bible without jw false indoctrination and false doctrines.
Denise Stout, on the contrary, it might be you who are in need of professional help. For if I can calmly state a legitimate factual criticism about JW culture, and that factual criticism moves you to tell me I need professional help, what does that reveal about your state of mind? It reveals that you are unable to stomach any form of criticism of your organization. How did your mind get to that state? Years of indoctrination with self-serving Watchtower propaganda where JWs and / or the organization is labeled as "the only true religion", "true Christians", "Jehovah's Organization", "spiritual paradise" and many other self-promoting terms, while at the same time legitimate criticisms are heavily discouraged, if not forbidden, with such labels as "murmuring", "negative talk", "independent thinking", "apostate", etc. Thus you are conditioned to think only positive thoughts of the organization and to be fearful and hateful of any legitimate and factual criticism of it, to the point that you feel moved to make all manner or irrational excuses and nonsensical statements, and personal insults in an often ridiculous attempt to defend the indefensible. And I'm not speaking just about you personally. I'm speaking about JWs in general. It's a very well documented psychological phenomenon of the JW mind. In fact, it's not limited to JWs. People in other cults also resort to personal insults when they're unable to refute negative facts about their cult.
Well said Caribbean Man - sad when you can't express your opinions or beliefs anymore without being told you need 'professional help', but that's the progressive left for you, always spouting homilies about tolerance whilst being entirely intolerant of any ideas that don't directly correlate with their own!
The result of love for Jesus and having the true faith in him is obedience. When you have that type of obedience towards the true God, that is the beginning of the transformation in yourself. We are save through grace by faith. Never because of our own deeds.
@@johnbee1069 let me ask you this then. Do you earn salvation or that’s a free gift from God to us because of his grace? Didn’t you remember that he died on the cross to make provision that whoever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life? Was that because of our faith and works? I don’t think so. Because of his grace we have faith in him. And the product of our faith is obedience to follow his will and that’s works.
@@johnbee1069 when did something wrong when you were a child and your parent forgave you. Was that because you have faith in them and then you worked your way to their forgiveness or, you were forgiven because they love you and they are gracious to you?
@@showmethatthang The simple fact of the matter is, we cannot have faith without works. For if we have faith without works, then that faith is dead - James 2.26 That is why Jesus warned of loosing one's eternal life. Therefore and with that being said, the conclusion is that applied faith is in-effect work. Though it remains that many people today do not understand this, so they often find themselves referencing faith alone, and in retrospect to work, revealing that they themselves do not fully understand the nature of the arrangement.
@@johnbee1069 I didn’t say that you can be saved by faith alone. I agree that faith without works is dead but you must remember, his grace to us came first by dying on the cross. I have another question. What made you faithful to God in the first place?
Chelsea Carr; Honesty? Respect? Boy' a sign of the times' people are as they were in the days of Noah' to ones whose minds can only be blinded by the god of this system of things' logic' even will not work for them.

Len stop 🛑 I believe Jesus Christ is God in the flesh and not Michael the Arch Angel. Great to see fellow Christians defending their faith peacefully and with love. Have a great day 🤗
@A long time ago we made it to paradise. False prophesies right from your own publications. "Bible chronology which indicates that Adam was created in the fall of the year 4026 B.C.E. would bring us down to the year 1975 C.E. as the date marking 6,000 years of human history with yet 1,000 years to come for Christ's Kingdom rule. So whatever the date for the end of this system, it is clear that the time left is reduced, with only approximately six years left until the end of 6,000 years of human history." Watchtower 1970 May 1 p.273
"Jesus therefore said, 'When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and I do nothing on My own initiative, but I speak these things as the Father taught Me,'" (John 8:28).
Before Abraham was born...I AM! Using the the holy name of God for himself...Tetragrammaton used perfectly." "I and the father are one!" "Tear this temple down and in 3 days I will raise it up" Isaiah 9:6 The eternal father, Micah: 5 States that the one coming, is from all eternity. Revelation even calls Jesus the Almighty God! I did this of the top of my head to show that you shouldn't just throw passages out there to suit your narrative.
For JWs, Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the True Living God. The Bible doesn't mention that Jesus is the "Almighty God" nor mention that he is part of the Trinity. God said "I AM the Almighty God", The phrase I AM is only used for ONE PERSON and not three persons. We learn that "I am" is for one literal person even from grade school.
So if it’s one person then how could Jesus say I Am as well as the Father saying I Am. They are meaning they are of the same essence. B furthermore if that is the case Jesus was already on Earth getting baptized while God from heaven spoke down to John the Baptist at that same time. Get Jesus both says I Am and attributes the same Holy given Names of God. Not that he is the first angel or a Creation from God. He came down lowly into creation to guide and lead us, only God can save us from Damnation that’s why he came down.
You ignore plenty of other scriptures that imply the trinity. The word trinity doesn’t pop up but is instead implied. Jesus got crucified for saying he is God on earth. Sooo 😊
Also idk how you can trust the Bible that was edited from the Bible we read. Rutherford re made the King James Version and made the new world translation cause he didn’t agree with it. He added words like in union with one another which completely changed the meaning. Idk how you’d trust a fictional writer over the most accurate version of the Bible
Jeff, there are JWs right next to my office who I see almost everyday. I watch all of your videos so that I can be as effective a witness as possible to preach the gospel to them. God bless you! I’m taking notes right now!
Dude does not know Hebrew, the Hebrew term used at Isaiah 9:6 shows a definite distinction between the Son and God. There the Son is called “Mighty God,” ʼEl Gib·bohrʹ, not “Almighty God.” That term in Hebrew is ʼEl Shad·daiʹ and applies uniquely to Jehovah God.
So they believe Michael the Arch Angel is the Messiah? I've never know exactly what their beliefs are. They believe in the Bible how do they get it so twisted?
They changed the Bible to the NWT (New World Translation) where they changed the name of "God" to Jehovah and they also twisted some words because they start with the presupposition that Jesus is not God, but "a god" look in John 1. They have very poor biblical scholars that do not interpret and translate the Bible correctly from the original Greek. It's sad because they are so brainwashed by the Watchtowers (an organization that repeatedly made false prophecies regarding the end of the world and that always change their stances on social issues. )
You just explained this the way I’ve been trying my best to explain this to my JW parents... I woke up from JW Organization lies a long time ago and have been working on my parents for the past year or two... I’m definitely taking notes, brother...
You may say in your heart, “How shall we know the word which Jehovah has not spoken?” When a prophet speaks in Jehovahs name, if the thing doesn’t follow, nor happen, that is the thing which Jehovah has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously. Deuteronomy 18:21-22
The #1 thing to remember is that it should never be about proving them wrong and proving you are right! It is about the truth of the Gospel and their eternal destiny! Pastor Jeff, you do a wonderful job putting this into action!
Did you count how many times the lady said she wasn't interested? Do you noticed how Jeff proved to be an imitator of Christ by hiding in the shadows? The Bible warns of false prophets coming in His name, and Jeff is not exception to the rule; _Whoever transgresses and doesn't remain in the teaching of Christ, doesn't have God. He who remains in the teaching, the same has both the Father and the Son._ - 2 John 1.9 _Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God. For many false prophets have gone out into the world._ - 1 John 4.1 _3For the time will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but, having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts; 4and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside to fables._ - 2 Timothy 4.3-4 _8'These people draw near to me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 9And in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrine rules made by men.'"_ - Matthew 15.8-9 _13But he answered, "Every plant which my heavenly Father didn't plant will be uprooted. 14Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. If the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit."_ - Matthew 15.13-14 _17Now I beg you, brothers, look out for those who are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and turn away from them. 18For those who are such don't serve our Lord, Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by their smooth and flattering speech, they deceive the hearts of the innocent._ - Romans 16.17-18 _3If anyone teaches a different doctrine, and doesn't consent to sound words, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness, 4he is conceited, knowing nothing, but obsessed with arguments, disputes, and word battles, from which come envy, strife, insulting, evil suspicions, 5constant friction of people of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. Withdraw yourself from such._ 1 Timothy 6.3-5!
He came to live we were created for , but could not due to sin of the flesh that's why He's called the second and last Adam. God have flesh dominion in the garden, a sinless one had to come in flesh to take back what the enemy tricked out of people I.e. authority and the image if God (God is a spirit). In three garden, the Hebrew actually says "dying you shall surely die". There were 2 deaths, first the spirit of God within us immediately, and slowly the flesh which is dying since birth. We lost His image, He came to win it us back because only He can. If it was another creation it would be just as naive as Adam and Eve were and soon fall into sin. It's the nature of ignorqnr children when given free will. We sure do have the knowledge of good and evil now, but it came at a price, our innocence and the very image of God. Why did He give it us if He knew? If we didn't have a choice we wouldn't really be in His image. Someone of the flesh, inherited from the first Adam has to regain what we lost. Jesus was the only answer, with free will we would have always failed.
what i mean to say is Jesus had to come and live the life we never could . To live out the law that was and is impossible for us. So if He came in flesh like and for us to fulfill the law, He had to come like a son. Lol wouldn't have worked if He came in all His power and glory for we do not have that in and of ourselves, especially because we are born into this world with dead spirits separated from God. Scriptures state everything I've said.
@@johnbee1069 So what is the truth? Any videos of Jws approaching Christian's and challenging their beliefs? What Jeff and many other Christian's are doing is to point them to the truth. Which is Jesus Christ, John 14:6.
@@t.macneil7048 Here are a few questions to help shed light on matters; 1. Who gave Jesus the truth? 2. What must we believe-in in order to saved in Jesus Christ? 3. Is the trinity the truth of God?
@@SmalltimR Thank you for your reply. 1. John 14:6 "I am the way the truth and the Life..." Jesus is the truth and the standard of Truth. Jesus didn't say I will bring the truth, he is the truth. 2. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting Life." See also Romans 5:8-9; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:4-6. Salvation is a free gift from God, that you must take by absolute Faith, in Jesus Christ. Salvation is by Grace alone and by Faith alone and in Christ Alone Grace is God extending kindness to the unworthy. God Blessing us despite the fact that we do not deserve it. Faith and Faith in Jesus Christ : we the sinner must absolutely believe what Jesus Christ did for us on the cross, that he was beaten, spat upon, whipped, shed his blood and died on the cross. That Jesus Christ took the punishment that I deserved. That all my sins were nailed to the cross, in the eyes of God I am now justified as righteous with God, not by any works of my own. But by what Jesus Christ did for me, he lived the life I could not live, in perfect righteousness. Because I have taken the amazing free gift of Salvation in Jesus Christ Alone that he was raised from the dead 3 days later. I have Eternal Life. (The moment you truly believe, you are indwelt with the Holy Spirit) If you believe you have to earn your Salvation by your own works, you don't believe in the Son of God, Jesus Christ. Now the believer in Jesus Christ must show "evidence of their Salvation" which is called regeneration or being born again. (The Holy Spirit fills you and helps change you from the inside out.) A completely new life walking in Holiness, hating the sinful things you once loved, and loving what God loves. The fruit of repentance, the fruit of forgiveness, the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:16-26) Our Good works as a Christian is a result of our Salvation, by God's love, and I want to show my love and appreciation by giving my life to my King, Lord and Savior. 3. The Trinity The word 'Trinity' isn't in the Bible, neither is the word 'Bible' or 'theology' yet all important in understanding God's word. I will say this I never believed in the Trinity, until I became a true Christian I completely understand the concept. Once I became a "child of God" he has opened my heart, eyes and mind everything. Amazing! 60 passages in the Bible that mentions all three of the trinity together.
@@t.macneil7048 It was a pleasure reading your response - it isn't often that we get to consider well defined comments complete with Bible scriptures. With that said, I'd like to take time to consider the information and get back to you once I have read through all of the passages - thanks again, and God bless
13:10 Obedience is necessary! John 14:15 “If you love me, you will observe my commandments. (John 3:36) The one who exercises faith in the Son has everlasting life; the one who disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains upon him. This "pastor" teaches lies.
I have a family member that is a JW it is very hard to talk to her. I pray that she is set free and be free indeed. Thank you Jesus my Lord and Savior.
I think you mean it is hard to convince her to your thinking. I would think she would love to talk about her beliefs. Do you actually listen, and reason on what she said?
BigFish 24/7 good morning; I believe God is calling me to share which is what I have been doing actually . 😉 thank you very much Too bad I can’t share with my family being shunned and all that. So wouldn’t it be nice if someone else shared the true gospel with them? Particularly someone who speaks with love like Jeff since that’s the only way to reach them?
*I wish I were in the place of those sisters. As a former member of a Trinitarian Protestant church, I'm well acquainted with all the tactics of Trinitarians.*
Johnny G so are you saying Catholics aren't Christians. Wow. Do you realize Catholic Bible is the complete Bible. All the man made religions took out passages in the Bible that didn't fit their teachings. Only Catholic Bible is complete. Doesn't that tell you about religions started by men rather than Jesus.
I pray that God will open the eyes and heart of those who have yet to know the true Gospel and the real version of our beloved, compassionate and full of Grace Jeshua Christ!
Colossians 1 on creation is easily solved: God is not a created being so that leaves Him out from all the creation that came Through Jesus. I wish JWs hadn't added the [ ] to that Scripture because it is self explained in many other Scriptures God is a not a created being. And "only Begotten" DOES mean having been created, or giving birth to. "The Great Tribulation" will without fail catch you in your anger. It will catch your suddenly. It is coming. God has always had on organization on Earth and they bore his name. Gods name is that important. Ancient Israel committed many, many sins, but Jehovah kept forgiving them. In the first and into the second AD, again God established his chosen people through his only begotten son, Jesus Christ. They, too, sinned and did many errors, but God chose them because his word must be fulfilled. Jesus helped a prostitute from the stones of the Jews and other onlookers, a prostitute, and they saw Jesus spoke with love and forgiveness, yes, even a prostitute. God has always, it has never failed, had an organized chosen people. Jews denied Gods only begotten son, and then persecuted him and had him killed. And they still don't recognize Jesus Christ as The Messiah, as Gods only begotten son. It can't be them. All other religions ignore the Bibles core teachings and instead follow their own theories. I hope. Yes, some JWs have done serious sins, and while they support the 'two witness' pattern, set forth by none other than Gods word itself, there is no way in the intellectual and wise and reasonable system they should all be blamed. They follow the order set into print by none other than God, Jehovah. Gods name is found some 7,000 times in the Hebrew Scriptures, all, all in praise worthy and approval ways. Jesus and the apostles quoted from those specific Scriptures so it is clear Gods name must have been spoken and taught to all listeners in the first and into the second centuries AD. Of course JWs are going to sin, they are imperfect, that is why they have a disfellowshipping order, just as God wants or demands. "Do not even sit with anyone called a brother" says Gods word (1 Corinthians 5:9-13 [focus namely on 11 for the point]). Gods word must be fulfilled, completely, so Isaiah 2:2-4 must take place, but when? "In the last days." Daniel also wrote concerning Gods word and fulfillment at Daniel 12:7-10; "Then one said to the man clothed with the linen, who was up above the waters of the stream: 'How long will it be to the end of the wonderful things?' And I began to hear the man clothed with the linen, who was up above the waters of the stream, as he proceeded to raise his right [hand] and his left [hand] to the heavens and to swear by the One who is alive for time indefinite: 'It will be for an appointed time, appointed times and a half. And as soon as there will have been a finishing of the dashing of the power of the holy people to pieces, all these things will come to their finish.' Now as for me, I heard, but I could not understand; so that I said: 'O my lord, what will be the final part of these things?” And he went on to say: 'Go, Daniel, because the words are made secret and sealed up until the time of [the] end. Many will cleanse themselves and whiten themselves and will be refined. And the wicked ones will certainly act wickedly, and no wicked ones at all will understand; but the ones having insight will understand.'" This supports Isaiah above. Acts 15:14-18 supports this, too. Malachi 3:16, 17, supports all of it, that Gods people will carry His name and they will be His people, as imperfect as they may be. But Gods core commandments will be His peoples core works and reason for their faith. They "abstain from blood" and they abstain from 'violence/war,' and they abstain from praying to saints, and they abstain from worshiping idols, and they abstain from pagan holidays, and they worship Jehovah God alone, making the correct distinction between God and his only begotten son, Jesus Christ. And they as united as expected by God: just as they were unified in ancient Israel, and just as they unified in early True Christianity, so it must be in the "last days." No other religion are like JWs because Gods word must and will be fulfilled. They love each other so dearly just as Jesus commended them to, but the love for God must come first, and then for Jesus, therefore they Obey the instructions in Gods word first, regardless if it's to your and yours distaste and dislike. God is first in their lives. Everyone knows this. Everyone. There is no other religion (Christian) on the planet so unified, that the only explanation is they must have Gods holy spirit. Philippians 2:1-8 backs this unity without question. They were united in same way, style and form of worship in Israeli times, and also in True early Christianity times, and so it must be in the last days. Gods word WILL be totally fulfilled. No other religion is all over the world in such unity preaching and teaching "the good news of Gods kingdom" as are JWs: no one come close. Matthew 28:19, 20 and Matthew 24:14 is being fulfilled. And will continue to until "the end" comes. There are sinners who come out from all religions, but JWs will stick with Gods word and will, if found guilty according to GODS word, disfellowship whoever member. The rest, whether in court or whatever any country does, is in Gods hands and/or the government system God has put in place. And for their works and faith, for their beliefs, they are hated by false religion (99pc), and by the world. But that makes them happy, because it is God, Jehovah, who they please above all others. For their works, and faith, and beliefs, they were the targets of Hate in the first and into the second centuries AD. They were called names, cult, and worse, but it made them happy because its Gods Word that is first in their lives. No other religion has Gods approval: none. Gods word will be fulfilled. One thing you all get wrong is, you think all religions in the world are THEIR religion, and while that is mostly true, it is GOD himself who has His own religion. Every one from anywhere is able to "come and drink life's water free." Many have made that change. Many have come to Jehovah. It is their choice, not the or a religions' choice. Gods people have always had a governing body, which is why they have always been unified: Gods word must be fulfilled and completed. It is Gods doing. It must come to fulfillment. Peace. PS: JWs are not there or here to fight, but teach and preach Gods word accurately. Those two "pastors" wanted nothing more than a "fight," lol, even if it seemed peaceful. They are doing it for RUclips views: JWs do it for Gods name to be made known, and therefore for Gods approval. There is a huge difference. And, they approached two Young ladies. I want to see those "pastors" have a discussion with two mature Witnesses and see what happens. There will be peace, but the "pastors" wont because they can't win...
So telling others about what the Bible dose not say is good he teaches a bunch of false doctrines like the divinity of Christ the trinity everyone goes to heaven
@@PraisebetoGod1 Jesus is God John 1:1, Here the Bible reveals that the word was and is God, you can see in verse 14 that the word was made flesh. Meaning Jesus is God in the flesh John 8:58, Jesus claimed to be before Abraham and referred to himself as I AM. Which is how God referred to himself in Exodus 3:14. John 10:30, Here Jesus states that He and the Father are one. John 20:28, When Thomas saw Jesus he said “My Lord and my God” The my God part is not corrected by Jesus, but encouraged. Corinthians 1:15-16 Jesus is the visible image of the invisible God. All things were created through him. Hebrews 1:1-4 Jesus made the worlds and is not a created being. Christ is above and beyond all other things. Titus 2:13 Jesus is God and our Savior
@@PraisebetoGod1 How so? What’s your answer for Isaiah 43:10. There is only one God. Here are some more verses that support my claim. 1. Isaiah 44:6 The LORD is Israel’s king and defender. He is the LORD of Armies. This is what the LORD says: I am the first and the last, and there is no God except me. 2. Deuteronomy 4:35 Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the LORD he is God; there is none else beside him. 3. 1 Kings 8:60 that all the peoples of the earth may know that the LORD is God; there is no other. 4. 1 Chronicles 17:20 There is none like you, O LORD, and there is no God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears. 5. Isaiah 46:9 remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me.
I did not find this pastor to be respectful or lovingly confronting the Jehovah's Witnesses. He's obviously more educated and maybe right maybe not. Often, he spoken to them in a patronizing fashion saying he wanted to learn what their beliefs were based on their willingness to preach but, really trying to convince them that they were wrong and that he had the correct interpretation of bible teaching. I've seen this before, not impressed.
Well,I'm sorry that you didn't recognize the truths that came from him. The Truth within me recognized the Truth within Him. God is the TRUTH ! Jesus is the WAY.
Galatians 1:9-10 "as we have said before, so now i say again: if anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed. For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ."
I love Galatians 1:10. Because our MAIN FOCUS should be pleasing God, when we evangelize. I read a lot of the comments here. And I found that a high percentage of people loved how this Pastor shared the gospel. When our main focus should be our love for God and doctrine. In my opinion, too many people get caught up in how the gospel is presented (what makes us FEEL good). I'm not saying that we should be jerks when evangelizing (and sadly, there are a lot that are jerks when evangelizing). But.... according to Galatians 1:10, our primary objective is sharing the gospel biblically, which sadly too many Christians don't. Was Jesus unloving when he called out the Pharisees in Matthew 23? He called them vipers, hypocrites, white washed tombs full of dead men's bones. Jesus is Love, but he always testified exactly with the Father. In summation, I thought that this Pastor shared the scriptures well with the Jehovah's Witnesses. But... I did discern some flattery and false compliments on his behalf to them just so he could continue to speak with them. Kinda played the nicey nice roll with them. That, I don't agree with. IMHO too many Christians try to do this when evangelizing. Their motive is to get the person who they are sharing with to like them. Contextually speaking, that shouldn't be the main issue. Our example from Jesus, as well as the Apostle Paul is preaching the gospel truth, regardless whether the people want to hear more or stone us; as they wanted to do with Jesus and the Apostle Paul many times. Why do I say this, because if Christians like HOW the presentation comes across, or that's what motivates them to witness in the same way. Then when serious opposition comes, and it will. The nicey nice approach doesn't work. And the Christian won't know what to do at this point. Yes!, we need to be loving, but.. loving in pleasing the LORD and loving in sharing doctrinally. Regardless whether the person is pleasant or hostile. Bottom line, stop with the patronization and false compliments just to have them continue to listen.

You need to learn Hebrew, the Hebrew term used at Isaiah 9:6 shows a definite distinction between the Son and God. There the Son is called “Mighty God,” ʼEl Gib·bohrʹ, not “Almighty God.” That term in Hebrew is ʼEl Shad·daiʹ and applies uniquely to Jehovah God.

Jeff the Bible never calls Jesus the eternal God. What is a regular English translation?where do you get the idea that Isaiah 9:6 is talking about Jehovah??? It is flat out absolutely talking about Jesus. You haven’t shown one scripture that Jesus is Jehovah. The fact is that Jesus is not Jehovah by any means. Revelation never called Jesus Almighty God, it never did.
"How is it possible for Christians to believe that Jesus Christ and God are one when they are so totally different".
-Vincent Bugliosi-
The preaching for most JW’s does not come from love to others. It’s comes from duty, fear and obligation to do it.
So very correct. They are wolfs in sheeps clothing. They try to bargain with people and confuse our beliefs. I had a guy try it the other day.
Do you call yourself a Christian?
If so, then you might want to take your head out of the sand brother.
When Jesus commanded us - He instilled duty
When Jesus warned us - He did so based on fear
These so-called Christians today desecrate Jesus teachings and commandments to cater to their own selfish ways.
By reducing Jesus' to a harmless character, apostate Christianity deceive others into thinking they can get away with anything - they ignore that Jesus is a King tasked with carrying His GOD and Father's wrath on the lawless, the liars and the deceivers loving themselves rather than GOD.
You cite fear and obligation as though it is a sin, and all at the expense of Jesus' teachings and commandments - behold the fruits of Apostacy at work!
Relax, enjoy yourselves, nothing's going to happen, we have nothing to fear, it's all good - 'Just like Jesus' Himself said it...

Yeah, I could sense that also when Jeff is asking them if they were out there because they loved people. Their response seemed to be more mechanical than spiritual.
I was raised as one of Jehovahs witnesses. I spent at least 5 days a week going door to door from about age 10 to age 17. I left almost 15 yrs ago now. I just want to say....i am so impressed. I have never seen someone engage in an actual conversation with a j.w. , and you actually got them to hear you out. It is clear to me that you are preaching the true message of the bible. And with sincere humility and pure heart. That was beautiful. Thank you for sharing this.
Jesse Kristi 1 John 5:19 Jesus states the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one. Just as in Job’s suffering it wasn’t God doing it. Satan was dumping the trial on to break Job. If you mom stood firm never left her God then she endured to the end and withstood Satan’s attempts to break her faith.
@@TheSilverlady1980 my mom did remain one of jehovah's witnesses till her death. But she never cut me out of her life like the jw elders told her to. My faith too was tested, i left the jws because i realized that they were not followers of god but rather the men who are in positions of power. And they dont follow the bible but rather the new world translation which i had researched and found so many inaccuracies. I started reading up on the greek to latin translations and found the king james version to be much more accurate. I told my family when i left that i hadnt lost god, but when i was in a kingdom hall i didnt feel gods spirit. I had to endure a lot of hardship and my lifes journey since leaving hasnt been easy but i have learned so much. I read the bible and pray daily with my husband and our 3 kids. So many people who leave the jws become atheist and lose all faith, it is easy to let that happen. But i know god is with me and that satan is always testing the faith of gods children. I pray for my family who are still jws. And for everyone struggling with their faith. I dont judge anyones decision to remain a jw. I want everyone to find salvation and i know that god is always there for anyone who calls on him.

But the son walked away not knowing he was his real father.... John 14:31 Jesus said: BUT FOR THE WORLD TO KNOW THAT I LOVE THE FATHER, I AM DOING JUST AS THE FATHER HAS COMMADED ME TO DO. Get up, let us go from here.

There's so much love and respect that's happening the moment he records them without consent.
@@ronshook5194 that's false
So it's ok for the JW's to go to people's home without invitation but it's not ok for a Christian pastor to talk to them or others? That's the definition of a hypocrite.
Darra Richardson we preach to everyone who is interested in learning the Bible,that includes all kinds of different things pastors,ministers and so one when we go door to door we talk to everyone Matt 28:19,20 is a direct comand by God to preach to the whole world and we are not hipocrites
*sigh* ExJWfifth did complain that the cart model, where people are told to go to JWorg, resulted in JWs being less able to defend their own faith than they would have been with the door-to-door model. What happened to the training standards?
I mean they don’t walk in the house all you can do is ask them to leave in a nice manner and they won’t ever come back and it’s the old ladies who do not engage in it maybe others will take it differently
@@rushiasingsfasola
Man please, these people have been preaching for years. A change to cart witnessing is not going to cause them to lose any of their teaching skills. They still make door to door their primary way of preaching. Just another way of teaching, that's all.
Darra Richardson; liars says the Bible teaches that Jesus is the almighty God.. not true' Jesus referred to his God being greater than he -John --14:28--; it is a constitutional right to go from door to door' teaching work is what Jesus taught his followers' they do not impose as this false teacher is doing "anti Christian" yet justify his intrusion?? when not recieved JWs shake the dust from their shoes and leave' they are taught that it is a waste of time to cast their pearls before unworthy' Matt 7:6; Why do enemies of truth' and of the True' God gang up against Gods modern times messengers? Is 43:7,10-13; only ones that call upon the name of Jehovah' -Isaiah --40:31--; will be saved' to suppress ones own God given most basic of elementary common senses, no amount of logic will work for them.. to ignore the constitutional rights of God's people? What does that say about you? if you don't except the truth' then you may as well believe in evolution' Man never slapped God in the face Man never spit in God's face' and never murdered Almighty God.. explain that away. Honest hearted Truth seekers respond to truth -Acts --5:29---31; John --3:16--,17; John --20:17--; John 17:3-6; John 1:1,2,14-18; the Word "Jesus".. was with who? .. God' it does not say "the word is God" sensible to except that it reads "and the word was a god" thus balances with the rest of the Bible' at Psalms 83:18 "alone" implies a singular sense' fits with Deut 6:4; "our God' is "One".. the God of the patriarchs' -Exodus 6:3; the Bible is not self- contradictory.. one needs to read' and meditate on it in order to get the proper sense of God's word for ignorance is no excuse' Noah did not worship the created "Jesus" nor did Lot' they didn't even know who Jesus was.. but we do' we are ones who do not worship Jesus re' -Roman 1:25; (Jesus) the only begotton Son of God' Jesus did nothing if his own will' but the will of him that sent him' -John 4:34; why? you heard'.. God hates lies -Proverbs 6:16-19; its not too late to heed -Rev 18;4;

Wow dude! I came out of JW'S as an agnostic probably even atheist right now. I would have hated knocking on your door ! You have an excellent knowledge of the scriptures. Respect.
You there ? How are you now ?
That dude does not know Hebrew, the Hebrew term used at Isaiah 9:6 shows a definite distinction between the Son and God. There the Son is called “Mighty God,” ʼEl Gib·bohrʹ, not “Almighty God.” That term in Hebrew is ʼEl Shad·daiʹ and applies uniquely to Jehovah God.
@@alexshatner3907 has it ever occured to You that our SaviourGod who Jesus Christ is, and only HIM;
-----> and def. NOT some Organisation of false Shepherds and fellow very Sinfull Humans, no matter how big, rich or powerfull they might think they are....
That the Reason HE our Lord is being called "Son" is because He came in Human Form from Divinity, send a Part of HIM, made Himself Human, lowered Himself into Human Form, to out of unimaginably Great Mercy, and Purest Love, for HIS Creation; who have fallen through Sin, been mislead by the Enemy, give His Life, voluntarilly. Yet having been a Human without Sin. Making us righteous in bc God is Justice. But only if we Accept HIM as Saviour and Leader of our Lives, His perfect Gift of Love.
On that Day when He took the Victory over Sin, Lie and Death He set us free, not from our own Works, bc ALL have fallen short in the Eyes of God, there is not one who has not sinned at least Once, Only HE DID NOT; but ONLY through His Mercy; we receive Salvation. May you ask HIM for it. He knows your Heart. Only HE is the Way, the Truth and Life everlasting. Oh and btw. for those reading, the Term Elshaddai you used is romantisized and of Cananite origin::::oh oh!!!! Sounds like Idolatry to me.
"That which is hidden from the wise and prudent has been revealed to the Babes and Suckling Ones" said the Lamb Jesus Christ, and Only HE is worthy to be Worshipped. No matter how much that might Anger you. But i am done. Please ask Jesus Christ Himself to show you the Truth, I def. know that He never denies a trully sincere or desperate Heart and a Person who is trully ready to surrender their Lives to Him and most importantly the Leadership for their Decissions to Him. Much Love.
@@alexshatner3907you have to compare it to Isaiah 10 which is what he said. There, particularly in verse 21 Yahweh, Jehovah calls himself the Mighty God. El Gabor. Same word for the Son as for the Father. Two persons, one divine nature and being.
@@wonderbuilds6523 In the prophecy at Isaiah 9:6 concerning the Messiah, the title “Mighty God” is applied to the promised Prince of Peace. This expression, however, translates the Hebrew ʼEl Gib•bohrʹ, not ʼEl Shad•daiʹ, as in the above scriptures, El Shaddai is Hebrew for almighty only referred to as Jehovah. The Messianic prophecy at Isaiah 9:6 foretold that he would be called “Mighty God,” though not the Almighty God, and that he would be the “Eternal Father” of all those privileged to live as his subjects. The zeal of his own Father, “Jehovah of armies,” would accomplish this. (Isa 9:7) Certainly if God’s Adversary, Satan the Devil, is called a “god” (2Co 4:4) because of his dominance over men and demons (1Jo 5:19; Lu 11:14-18), then with far greater reason and propriety is God’s firstborn Son called “a god,” “the only-begotten god” as the most reliable manuscripts of John 1:18 call him.
He has the gift of de-escalating situations....the lady was aggravated and then calmed down and listened rather quickly!

Trinity is the story of a son(Trinitarian Christians) that was raised thinking his father Mr. Roman Trinity was his real father but the kid was kidnap by him, the son doesn’t know his real father has been looking for him since he lost him, one day his real father found his son and said: Son, I finally found you, I Love You. But the son walked away not knowing he was his real father.... John 14:31 Jesus said: BUT FOR THE WORLD TO KNOW THAT I LOVE THE FATHER, I AM DOING JUST AS THE FATHER HAS COMMADED ME TO DO. Get up, let us go from here.
John 20:17 Jesus said to her: “Stop clinging to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to MY FATHER and your Father and to MY GOD and your God.

Jehovah witnesses are more loving and forgiving than any one union. ask yourselves this. if jesus and god are 1 person why would jesus be praying to himself. and in the bible it clearly states not to mark your skin and yet he has many tatoos the poor lady is 1 in a million. and to think that you are trying to PREACH untrue words out of your mouth to the one TRUE religion is sickening. take a second to think of what each side is saying. which side is doing it for videos and which side is doing it for there LIFE. and if god wanted us in heaven why did he put us here. why would such a loving god banish us to hell when he himself knows we are imperfect! I am one of jehovahs witnesses and I am 13. how many 13 year olds know that much about the TRUTH that ARENT a Jehovah witness.
That was done with respect and passion to both sides. Well done.
20tomnelson, and yet even after she told him to leave her alone and he felt the need not to listen. Not many locals take kindly to that kind of persistence. I wouldn’t be surprised if this guy gets cracks from the Kanaks that live here. No, leave me alone, means no, leave me alone. Men all over the U.S are getting into serious trouble with the law for not abiding by this very simple request.
@Ingrid Garcia Man, (or woman), that was some kind of rant. I guess when Jesus preached people were saying similar things, same when his disciples did. Maybe you should just calm down as that is the only way to think clearly, OK?

Thank you for sharing!
I was raised a JW and left the practice when I was 16 years old, (I am now 59). This pastor was amazing! Such love and truth and it came through in his talking with them. They didn't want to talk with him because they were not confident enough in their knowledge to have a debate with him. The followers don't know the Bible as well as they think they do and it is a real challenge for them to debate someone who is well versed. JW's are not allowed to research the Bible anywhere but from the JW resources. Their faith and allegiance to the JW group itself is carefully guarded by the elders, Watchtower society, whatever you want to call their leaders. Planting a tiny seed of doubt can be all it takes to get them to look beyond the JW information and that seed can lead to their salvation. I pray that the seed that this pastor planted will grow and and cause them to throw JW rules aside and research for themselves and be saved.
The trinity is a lie of antiquity
@@SmalltimR or not. Antiquity? The Jews were going to stone Jesus.
wylo lister really ? Why ? Not because he was saying he is God . He said the Pharisees didn’t understand him because they were from their father Satan . And don’t say it’s because Jesus said. “I AM” ( ego eimi ) because this is not the divine name revealed to Moses.
I can quote other scriptures which us the same word ( ego eimi / l Am )
Luke 1:19 When the Ángel Gabriel said “l am / ego eimi “
Same word used in John 8:58
Are we supposed to believe that the Ángel Gabriel is Yahweh?
Luke 22:33 When Peter said to Jesus “ l am / ego eimi “ prepared to go to prison and to death for you .
Is Yahweh prepared to go to prison and to death for you? Make”s no sense.
In the Greek Septuagint God’s name in Greek translation is
“ ego eimi ho on “ meaning
“ l am the being , or l am the existence”
@@MaryMary-cj7wl True, as the Bible says we cannot grasp this (mystery). Phillipians 2:5-7 - 5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, *existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,* 7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in human likeness.…
1 Timothy 3:16 - Beyond all question, *the mystery from which true godliness springs is great:* He appeared in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory.
Colossians 2:9 says Jesus has "fullness" of deity, god ship, Godhead. Is that "fullness" 100%, 50%, or 33% ???
wylo lister your heresy is exactly that . Jesus Christ is the son of the living God they are not equal!
And above all it is not a mystery that we cannot understand God is not a God of confusion first off.
“ THIS MEANS EVERLASTING LIFE , THEIR TAKING IN KNOWLEDGE OF YOU, THE ONLY TRUE GOD , AND OF THE ONE YOU SENT FORTH JESUS CHRIST. “ John 17:3

JWs claim to be God's channel of communication, God's voice on earth, claim that their literature/words are "food from God", that they have the "truth" and have "accurate knowledge". Can truth and accurate knowledge be wrong, incorrect, mistake filled decade after decade?
@@wylolister3218
If you read the Bible, you'll find that humans have a very long history of making terrible mistakes, and the JW's are no exception to the rule
With that said, I'm confident that they will learn in time either by experience of force - though in spite of that, they appear to have one of the most advanced Bible research library on the internet.
@@SmalltimR And yet they have gone beyond scripture. Who made them say anything about 1844, 1879, 1914,1915, 1918, 1919, 1925, 1936, 1940's, 1950's, 1960's,1975, 2000,ect? Those are man's dates or they come from Satan! Just mistakes that those false dates are in their literature they call "food FROM God"? Mistakes? Dates and events that God did not speak, that did not come true?
@@SmalltimR Are warnings in the Bible about false prophets, false teachers, wolves in sheep's clothing mistakes? Are you saying the Bible has mistakes? Scriptures that mean nothing? If God, spirit, Jesus are feeding them spiritual food why have they gone beyond scripture with their so called "mistakes"? Again, did anyone make them make these false spiritual utterances? Can a true religion just throw things against the wall and the false ones that don't stick just become mistakes, oops, like leaving the milk out on the counter. All in God's supposed name? Mistakes?
@@wylolister3218
Under the circumstances, I'm fairly certain that most all mistakes in this regard would qualify as beyond scripture - otherwise, I'm thinking they wouldn't be mistakes
With that said, when we consider doctrines such as the trinity along with those believing in it, it becomes obvious that humans have been plagued with such problems for a very long time - for example; if you read the Old Testament, you'll find that God's people were subject to none-stop corruption throughout Bible history - as nearly every single subject fell short before God in some form or another.
But that doesn't mean they were lost however, as the Bible reveals that God continued to care for His people even when they made terrible mistakes.
That is why Jesus' commandments imply that we never give-up - be it; fighting for the truth, doing what's right or saving others - the model remains the same
As for religions, here again, this comes down to context - our salvation was never dependent on religion, but more accurately, the ransom sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
And while it is true that religions play an integral role in the worship of God, it remains that it is the people themselves who are responsible for such deviance, and not the Bible.
That is why religions have so many issues. Whereas the truth of God on the other hand, has no issues. As the issues stem from people's desire for ear-tickling words beyond scriptures, as they seek to satisfy their own desires rather than God's.
However, and with all that being said, so-long as religions are made-up of imperfect people, so-too will there be there be imperfect religions - and no one in the Bible demonstrated this better than the Apostles Paul.
However and with all that being said, the good news is, that followers of Christ where never required or obligated to adhere to man-made doctrines or rituals.
As Jesus assures use that His spirit will be given to any two or more gathering in His name.
And so at the end of the day it is by their fruits that we distinguish true followers of Christ from the false ones.
For example, if a person says we cannot be saved unless we believed in the trinity, then that person is not speaking the truth of God
Similarly, if a person says we cannot be saved unless we believed in specific dates, then that person is not speaking the truth of God either, as there are no such words written anywhere in the Bible - see how that works?
As for religions, it remains that these are man-made provisions intended to facilitate our worship of God on earth.
And it is up-to each and every one of us to honor God and His Son Christ Jesus by putting our best foot forward in doing so.
God I love jeff Durbin !
This is a great example of preaching the gospel like Paul did without being disrespectful !!!!
That’s how it’s done !
The way he approached these ladies and talked to them was amazing !
Yes, but unlike Paul, he spoke plain English, instead of going all round the houses.
J. Huff Humble ; how does one not see how disrespectful of not only those who God himself reveals as his people at' Isaiah 43:3,7,10-13; but also is dis-respectful of Christ's God' and dis-respectful also of God's Son Jesus himself' whom Jesus refered to as the ONE who is greater than he himself' see Jesus' words at John 14:28; God wants all sorts of people to come to an accurate knowledge' 1Timothy 2:3-7; and Christ's words in his last recorded prayer to his God at John 17:1-26; we should appreciate a dying man's words' who's more so than the Son of God Jesus Christ' .. look up the meaning of the names Elijah' and Jesus' as well that of Hallelu-Jah'
Len
Philippians 2 v 6-8
If you read these verses then you will see that Jesus is equal to the Father, and that he will not use his equality with the Father for his advantage in verse 6.
Then in verse 7 Jesus took on the form of a servant and made in the likeness of men.
So Jesus became a servant.
Then in verse 8 Jesus humbled himself and became obedient unto death.
So when Jesus took on flesh then he had all the weaknesses of man, also he humbled himself and became obedient, these are the reasons why Jesus said that the Father is greater than I, and why Jesus prayed to the Father, and so on and so forth.
The Trinity is true and Jesus is equal to the Father (John 5 v 18)
Jeff, always kind, no yelling. Presenting rational arguement in a respectful manner. Looked these verses up myself at the end of the video.
He was not kind and respectful. overdoing it way to much and then way to forceful. not to mention lying intentionally knowing how they would believe him.

Brother, you taught the "real truth" to the JW. God bless you for allowing the Holy Spirit to speak through you, as God would not have anyone perish and go to hell.
@Tonya Williams
The christian position is ... one where there is a god who has an important message for mankind, and somehow he only reveals it to certain individuals who then write this down and thousands of years after this initial revelation, we have to rely on copies of copies of translations of copies by anonymous authors with no originals, and the textual testimony to a miracle, for example the loaves and fishes; there’s no amount of reports - anecdotal testimonial reports - that could be sufficient to justify that this event actually happened as reported. No amount. And anything that would qualify as a god would clearly understand this, and if it wanted to convey this information to people in a way that was believable, would not be relying on text to do so, and this for me is the nail in the coffin for Christianity. The god that Christians believe in is amazingly stupid if it wants to actually achieve its goal of spreading this information to humanity by relying on text; by relying on languages that die out; by relying on anecdotal testimony. That's not a pathway to truth! And anything that would qualify for a god should know this, which means either that God doesn’t exist or it doesn't care enough about those people who understand the nature of evidence to actually present it. Now which of those possibilities do you think is accurate?
Matt Dillahunty.
Me: If a god actually did exist in ''reality'' there would be no disputes, arguements & endless debates about it. There would be no need for faith & greedy corrupt, tax exempt pasters & ''mega churches.!!!!
@@@rudyell Who are you to tell me about my character.? I have a clean record, never been in trouble with the law, i am happily married with 3 children & 4 grand children, i have NEVER i repeat NEVER done wrong by anyone in my life. I admit i'm not perfect, i'm human, i make mistakes, (we all do) but i learn from my mistakes & become a WISER person for it. My parents taught me ''right from wrong'' at an early age, and brought me up to be a considerate law abiding citizen. I'm always supportive to my family & friends, always there if they need me, i give to charity whenever i can, so please don't judge me, is you're backyard ''squeaky clean''.??
Also you mentioned ''faith'', why would you believe anything on faith? Faith isn't a pathway to truth. Every religion has some sort of faith, people take things on, you know, if faith is your pathway to truth, you can't distinguish between Christianity, Hinduism, Judaism, any of these others. How is it that you use reason as a path to truth in every endeavor of your life, and then when it comes to what you think is the ‘ultimate truth’ you're saying that faith is required.??? And how does that reflect on a god (who supposedly exists and wants you to have this information) what kind of god requires faith instead of evidence? ... I have reasonable expectations based on evidence. I have trust that has been earned. I will grant trust tentatively. I don't have faith. Faith is the excuse people give for believing something when they don't have evidence.

@@lotq4704 numbers don't lie..... the odds on five things adding up to 666 that you spoke about are a hundred thousand to One Shot. For Crying Out Loud please look at this..vaccination = 666 witchcraft = 666, sorceries= 666, sorceror =666, book of the dead =666 pizzagate= 666 monsanto= 666.etc.... come on already PLEASE PLEASE look at this below because a crazy amount of things you mentioned add up to 666. It's ridiculous how many things you spoke about are adding up to 666. on what I'm showing below. Please look at it and let me know what you think you need to share this with everybody because it's the mystery to Revelation verse 13 : 17 to 18
My video called "English Gematria part 1, 444 mathematical evidence" explains this. PLEASE watch it before the devil lies to u about this.
Numbers dont lie - just add the value of each letter.
This is the mystery to Revelation chapter 13 :17 -18
A=6 B=12 C=18 D=24 E=30 F=36 g=42 h=48 I=54 j=60 K=66 L=72 M=78 N=84 O=90 P=96 Q=102 R=108 S=114 T=120 U=126 V=132 W=138 X=144 Y=150 Z=156.

Corporate= 666, Monsanto=666, vaccination=666, bioimplant=666,
Book of the dead=666, pizzagate=666, commercials=666
GEMATRIA = 444. Mark of beast = 666
ENGLISH = 444. Stubborn = 666
Simple = 444 Sorcerer = 666
JEWISH = 444. witchcraft = 666
MESSIAH = 444. Sorceries = 666
JESUS = 444. Illusion = 666
Y'SHUA = 444. New york = 666
JOSHUA = 444. corrupt = 666
CROSS = 444. Slaughter = 666

PARABLES 444
FINISHED =444
FRUIT = 444
CLOUDS = 444. I am saved = 444
Menorah = 444
THE NAMES THAT ADD UP TO THE SAME NUMBER WILL ALWAYS ADD UP TO THE SAME NUMBER NO MATTTER WHAT VALUE YOU START A WITH.
I If we used the simplest formula: A=1 B=2 C=3 etc etc , the values of the names will still be the same. All the 444 names would add up to 74 because going from A=6 to A=1 changes it by a sixth. Therefore all the 666 findings would all be 111. The bible says and I quote " Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666." A wise person(He who has understanding) can look at the 111 findings with the simple formula and realize that to make them 666 you just have to change the A=1 to A=6 and now you have the correct Bible formula. 60 minutes in an hour is a base of 6 and 360 degrees in a circle is a base of 6 ,that is why English Gematria is done that way . I'snt that wild?
444 patterns match up with the old testament and 666 and 444 patterns match up with the new testament. This means that the Old and New testament without collusion, perfectly coincide And connect like pieces of a puzzle with a Language that was not started until thousands of years later. ( Impossible) Without God
What are the odds of these results happening by pure chance? The calculator doesn’t go that high. I was confused on why lucifer added up to 444 until I read Ezekiel in the Old Testament. Ezekiel called Lucifer a cherubim and described a cherubim as 4 creatures with 4 heads and 4 wings. I refer to a cherubim as a 444 angel. Here are some others.
MENORAH = 444
FRUIT = 444
THE KING = 444
INCREASE = 444
ENERGY = 444
Melody = 444 ( Was given to us to worship.)
CODE OF GOD = 444
the odds on this pattern developing is just simply impossible. No one can get that lucky that every major word involving them could add up to the same number. Go ahead, check your name and list all things that have to do with you and see how many match. How could Jesus get this lucky. There was no English language till 1500 years after he died. How did this happen?
The only reasonable explanation would be that the authors of the Bible were initiates to a higher wisdom and knowledge and these authors universally applied mathematical principles of Gematria and or sacred geometry to encrypt this wisdom in the Bible such that it could be conveyed to future generation..

Well done Jeff! You are influencing many people and reaching many with the Gospel. Keep up the good work and God bless you!
That’s too bad because he is misleading many people his intentions may be good but the trinity doctrine is false
You go against 2,000 years of church history and more importantly what the Holy Scriptures teach. Sadly, one cannot be a Christian and reject the Trinity, this is heretical teaching, please repent from this false teaching.
Biblical Christianity listen to yourself. The church teaching you're referring too is the catholic religion. The oppressive wolves that tortured and mutilated people during the Spanish inquisition. The same "church" the drove Bloody Mary Tudor to murder hundreds because they saw the false teaching. Under the catholic church it was heresy to have a bible of your own or try to translate it from Latin. They are the ones who added Christmas and Easter and yet if you had the spine to find out where your cherished traditions come from you'd probably vomit. The bible says Jehovah your God is One Jehovah. The book of Isaiah refers to him as the One many times as does the rest of the bible. Go to Wikipedia and look up king James version if you can work up the nerve you'll find how many times its been revised and not for the good.
Denise Stout I am not Roman Catholic but I am an Evangelical Christian and what Rome did was wrong, yes. But the church the group of believers were among these false Christians, God's church had been in existence for 2,000 years, His elect children were scattered across the globe and never ceased to exist.
The very early Christians were called catholic and they were nothing like the Roman Catholic church today because the Pope did not exist, purgatory did not exist etc..
Andif you reject the doctrine of the Holy Trinity, I have huge concerns for you. It is to go against the Holy Scriptures and to reject the Gospel because it is to believe a different false Jesus who is not the Word incarnate in John 1:1-4, 14.
Ronda Macjustice; can't be two sided and make sense.. Satan's minister'
Jeff will have crowns in Heaven for what he does. This is a True Christian.
2:11 I agree with you 100% Pastor! My family of 3 through the grace of God evangelize on a daily basis we are taking notes. ALL believers are called to share the gospel -Mark 16:15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. if the Holy Spirit is giving you that nudge and you are afraid of not knowing what to say: God always meets us where we are at. -Matthew 10:20 “For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.” We have a genuine love for the lost as we too were once lost. “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?
The gospel is indeed very important to preach everywhere. This is my understanding. Tell me if you agree with it.
*THE GOOD NEWS*
God sent His Son to be the messiah. Jesus gave his life so we can have everlasting life, if we exercise faith in Jesus, and his sacrifice. That sacrifice opened the way for the kingdom, God's kingdom, to be established.
That kingdom was foretold to destroy human governments, and to then rule forever. Bringing about conditions that mankind longs for.
Like this:
(Revelation 21:3, 4) With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
What a beautiful man, Pastor Jeff, God Bless and protect. you in all your work to guide people in the right direction Xx
Notice how the Holy Spirit draws souls to Himself.
Im so encouraged. This happens to me.
Thank you Lord for giving us yiur Spirit to obey you and love your Gospel.
Amen!
Amen.
Amen!

That was awesome! May GOD Bless your ministry.
@Sheri Frederiksen
The christian position is ... one where there is a god who has an important message for mankind, and somehow he only reveals it to certain individuals who then write this down and thousands of years after this initial revelation, we have to rely on copies of copies of translations of copies by anonymous authors with no originals, and the textual testimony to a miracle, for example the loaves and fishes; there’s no amount of reports - anecdotal testimonial reports - that could be sufficient to justify that this event actually happened as reported. No amount. And anything that would qualify as a god would clearly understand this, and if it wanted to convey this information to people in a way that was believable, would not be relying on text to do so, and this for me is the nail in the coffin for Christianity. The god that Christians believe in is amazingly stupid if it wants to actually achieve its goal of spreading this information to humanity by relying on text; by relying on languages that die out; by relying on anecdotal testimony. That's not a pathway to truth! And anything that would qualify for a god should know this, which means either that God doesn’t exist or it doesn't care enough about those people who understand the nature of evidence to actually present it. Now which of those possibilities do you think is accurate?
Matt Dillahunty.
Me: If a god actually did exist in ''reality'' there would be no disputes, arguements & endless debates about it. There would be no need for faith & greedy corrupt, tax exempt pasters & ''mega churches.!!!!
These old ladies are so close to hearing " Depart From Me, I Never Knew You " they need to REPENT and leave this man made cult asap. It was a blessing that Jeff came to them....Jesus will most likely say to them...." I Sent Jeff To YOU To Help You See The TRUTH About Me And You Rejected Him, So I Will Grant You The Same And Reject You "
Jesus "sent Jeff" to teach something the Bible *never* addresses?
Now I believe that's the way to handle it with truth love and patience.
One of the tell tell signs of a cult is if the people within it are unwilling to interact with those whom they disagree. Jehovahs Witness will only interact with people they can preach at. I tell people, never be afraid of the truth.
Daniel Omitted I live in Bethel country, Redding, CA, and they certainly are in that group. People don’t agree with them are filtered out.
They like to debate people who are weak in faith and that don't read the scriptures. They rather debate than what is good for a person that wants to be a Christian.

I love Jeff’s compliment, and from my own experience totally agree!
Dude does not know Hebrew, the Hebrew term used at Isaiah 9:6 shows a definite distinction between the Son and God. There the Son is called “Mighty God,” ʼEl Gib·bohrʹ, not “Almighty God.” That term in Hebrew is ʼEl Shad·daiʹ and applies uniquely to Jehovah God.
God bless you Mr. Durbin. I am in awe with the love you have for others and the succulent fruits of the Holy Spirit you portray everywhere. I’m blessed I’m not a JW, and that I know the real truth about Jesus Christ through your videos. Thank you and God bless!!!

As an exJW I can testify that this organization is built on a spirit of PRIDE and a need to be “right”. This is what undermines much of our efforts. This man who is ministering is revealing how to properly minister because he came in the spirit of HUMILITY and love. Only Holy Spirit could have prepared such a transaction. You can hear the defensive responses (fear and guilt and shame). It took countless presentations of the true gospel of Jesus Christ presented in a safe place of true lovers of Jesus who did not shame me that led me out of this cult. Thank you for what you’re doing. KEEP doing. I’ve been praying a long time now and God is blessing me to see through RUclips how many people have moved in His love to minister to the JW’s.

This video is a perfect lesson on how humility and love can open doors to the hear to plant seeds for God make grow thank you so much
Colossians 1 on creation is easily solved: God is not a created being so that leaves Him out from all the creation that came Through Jesus. I wish JWs hadn't added the [ ] to that Scripture because it is self explained in many other Scriptures God is a not a created being. And "only Begotten" DOES mean having been created, or giving birth to.
"The Great Tribulation" will without fail catch you in your anger. It will catch your suddenly. It is coming. God has always had on organization on Earth and they bore his name. Gods name is that important. Ancient Israel committed many, many sins, but Jehovah kept forgiving them. In the first and into the second AD, again God established his chosen people through his only begotten son, Jesus Christ. They, too, sinned and did many errors, but God chose them because his word must be fulfilled. Jesus helped a prostitute from the stones of the Jews and other onlookers, a prostitute, and they saw Jesus spoke with love and forgiveness, yes, even a prostitute. God has always, it has never failed, had an organized chosen people. Jews denied Gods only begotten son, and then persecuted him and had him killed. And they still don't recognize Jesus Christ as The Messiah, as Gods only begotten son. It can't be them. All other religions ignore the Bibles core teachings and instead follow their own theories. I hope. Yes, some JWs have done serious sins, and while they support the 'two witness' pattern, set forth by none other than Gods word itself, there is no way in the intellectual and wise and reasonable system they should all be blamed. They follow the order set into print by none other than God, Jehovah. Gods name is found some 7,000 times in the Hebrew Scriptures, all, all in praise worthy and approval ways. Jesus and the apostles quoted from those specific Scriptures so it is clear Gods name must have been spoken and taught to all listeners in the first and into the second centuries AD. Of course JWs are going to sin, they are imperfect, that is why they have a disfellowshipping order, just as God wants or demands. "Do not even sit with anyone called a brother" says Gods word (1 Corinthians 5:9-13 [focus namely on 11 for the point]). Gods word must be fulfilled, completely, so Isaiah 2:2-4 must take place, but when? "In the last days." Daniel also wrote concerning Gods word and fulfillment at Daniel 12:7-10; "Then one said to the man clothed with the linen, who was up above the waters of the stream: 'How long will it be to the end of the wonderful things?' And I began to hear the man clothed with the linen, who was up above the waters of the stream, as he proceeded to raise his right [hand] and his left [hand] to the heavens and to swear by the One who is alive for time indefinite: 'It will be for an appointed time, appointed times and a half. And as soon as there will have been a finishing of the dashing of the power of the holy people to pieces, all these things will come to their finish.' Now as for me, I heard, but I could not understand; so that I said: 'O my lord, what will be the final part of these things?”
And he went on to say: 'Go, Daniel, because the words are made secret and sealed up until the time of [the] end. Many will cleanse themselves and whiten themselves and will be refined. And the wicked ones will certainly act wickedly, and no wicked ones at all will understand; but the ones having insight will understand.'" This supports Isaiah above. Acts 15:14-18 supports this, too. Malachi 3:16, 17, supports all of it, that Gods people will carry His name and they will be His people, as imperfect as they may be. But Gods core commandments will be His peoples core works and reason for their faith. They "abstain from blood" and they abstain from 'violence/war,' and they abstain from praying to saints, and they abstain from worshiping idols, and they abstain from pagan holidays, and they worship Jehovah God alone, making the correct distinction between God and his only begotten son, Jesus Christ. And they as united as expected by God: just as they were unified in ancient Israel, and just as they unified in early True Christianity, so it must be in the "last days." No other religion are like JWs because Gods word must and will be fulfilled. They love each other so dearly just as Jesus commended them to, but the love for God must come first, and then for Jesus, therefore they Obey the instructions in Gods word first, regardless if it's to your and yours distaste and dislike. God is first in their lives. Everyone knows this. Everyone. There is no other religion (Christian) on the planet so unified, that the only explanation is they must have Gods holy spirit. Philippians 2:1-8 backs this unity without question. They were united in same way, style and form of worship in Israeli times, and also in True early Christianity times, and so it must be in the last days. Gods word WILL be totally fulfilled. No other religion is all over the world in such unity preaching and teaching "the good news of Gods kingdom" as are JWs: no one come close. Matthew 28:19, 20 and Matthew 24:14 is being fulfilled. And will continue to until "the end" comes. There are sinners who come out from all religions, but JWs will stick with Gods word and will, if found guilty according to GODS word, disfellowship whoever member. The rest, whether in court or whatever any country does, is in Gods hands and/or the government system God has put in place.
And for their works and faith, for their beliefs, they are hated by false religion (99pc), and by the world. But that makes them happy, because it is God, Jehovah, who they please above all others. For their works, and faith, and beliefs, they were the targets of Hate in the first and into the second centuries AD. They were called names, cult, and worse, but it made them happy because its Gods Word that is first in their lives. No other religion has Gods approval: none. Gods word will be fulfilled. One thing you all get wrong is, you think all religions in the world are THEIR religion, and while that is mostly true, it is GOD himself who has His own religion. Every one from anywhere is able to "come and drink life's water free." Many have made that change. Many have come to Jehovah. It is their choice, not the or a religions' choice. Gods people have always had a governing body, which is why they have always been unified: Gods word must be fulfilled and completed. It is Gods doing. It must come to fulfillment. Peace.
PS: JWs are not there or here to fight, but teach and preach Gods word accurately. Those two "pastors" wanted nothing more than a "fight," lol, even if it seemed peaceful. They are doing it for RUclips views: JWs do it for Gods name to be made known, and therefore for Gods approval. There is a huge difference. And, they approached two Young ladies. I want to see those "pastors" have a discussion with two mature Witnesses and see what happens. There will be peace, but the "pastors" wont because they can't win...

The jews listening to jesus would've had to translate the aramaic into Hebrew then compare it to the greek translation of exodus 6. Pretty sure it's just a story and who knows what its intent is. I'd wager that it was to assert that jesus is jehovah but there's no way it really happened that way, and the jws probably have the English translation right "i have been."
TETRAGRAMMATON
Philippians 2 v 6-8
In these verses you will see Jesus is equal to the Father in verse 6, and in verses 7&8 Jesus humbled himself as a servant and became obedient.
Before Jesus humbled himself he is equal to the Father (John 5 v 18), when he took on flesh then God became his God (Jeremiah 32 v 27 the God of all flesh)
Jesus when he took on flesh he had to live the life of a human with all of our weaknesses, so that when he was crucified he beat sin as a human.
His flesh was weak, and that is why Jesus said that the Father was greater than I, and why Jesus prayed to the Father, and why the Father is the head of Christ.
Jesus is a part of the Trinity, and the Trinity is the one God.
Greater in Role, not in essence

This clearly shows a Father who sent his son...simple.
Exactly
God raised Jesus from the dead. The Bible teaches that Jesus even raised himself from the dead because he is God! The Father, Son And Holy Spirit all raised Jesus. Three separate persons that share the being of God.
The Bible teaches:
THE FATHER RAISED JESUS
"We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life (Romans 6:4).
Again in Galatians:
"Paul, an apostle - sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead (Galatians 1:1)
JESUS RAISED HIMSELF
Jessus speaking about the temple of his body( and his death and resurrection): "Then the Jews demanded of him, "What miraculous sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?" Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days (John 2:18,19)."
Again:
"No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father (John 10:18)."
The Holy Spirit raised Jesus:
"And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you (Romans 8:11)."
Again:
"For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit (1 Peter 3:18)."
God raised Jesus:
But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him (Acts 2:24).
But God raised him from the dead on the third day and caused him to be seen (Acts 10:40).
But God raised him from the dead (Acts 13:30).
Amen.. That is the truth
@@levihall9767 the bible does not say" he raised himself from the dead because he is God "

Is it the message that Jesus told us at Matthew 24: 14 because after the kingdom is preached in the inhabited Earth then the end will come. Or are you going to come over there and tell him Jesus Is God and that God is a trinity and hellfire and the Pagan cross is that what you're going to talk about? That is not what Jesus commanded us to preach
This is how atheists feel about you religious people. Think about it for a second.
The fact that you couldn't get up the boldness shows the holy spirit isn't with you. That's why Jehovah's witnesses are so courageous its not easy having people say ugly things about or to you but we don't mind and this guy Jeff he wasted his time and he knows it. How does that bring glory to God?? Sad
Denise Stout paul asks the believers to pray for him that he may have boldness . New Testament teaches we should pray for boldness acts 4. Ephesians. I didn't see these jehovahs witnesses saying anything to me I guess
They don't have the spirit of God. That's not how the Bible teaches someone's is of the fold of God. I am not ashamed of the Gospel for it is the power of God for salvation. The holt spirit can convert anyone especially paul who persecuted and Mildred christians. If I was suppose to share something with them and I didn't it's my sin I need to repent of. Read your bible please and stop with this rhetoric that's not biblically based at all just your opinion that has no weight or authority
jazzbassf fenderjazz I would share the Gospel. That's he power of God. Anything else would flow out of fundamental issues.
Very lovingly & knowledgeably done Bro Jeff. My best neighbor was a high ranked JW and super trustworthy - he watched our house, fed our animals when on vacation & we reciprocated with them. Our friendship was warm and we spoke often of our Faith in Christ but had to depart when getting to the nut of true Salvation in Jesus Christ. I came to see that Harold was trusting in the Watchtower Organization mainly, as if IT was the Holy Spirit !
Maybe that's a clue as to why doctrinally they reject the Holy Spirit & Trinity.
But in terms of conduct & honesty Harold was stellar. I think the witnesses gain their "traction" two ways:
1) Kingdom Emphasis
And
2) Good works & ethics.
In these 2 areas they overmatch 2 of 3 Christian's, sad to say.
I believe the cults are the unpaid bills of the church. If this is so, then all repentant believers need to learn even from these groups, about how our witness to the culture is lacking !
Dude does not know Hebrew, the Hebrew term used at Isaiah 9:6 shows a definite distinction between the Son and God. There the Son is called “Mighty God,” ʼEl Gib·bohrʹ, not “Almighty God.” That term in Hebrew is ʼEl Shad·daiʹ and applies uniquely to Jehovah God.
Most of their motivations are either social (wanting to fit in, not be looked at sideways for slacking), not wanting to be destroyed at Armageddon, or wanting to get to live forever. Not true love. That’s made clear in a lot of their practices and their conditional love. As a former witness, I appreciate what you’re doing and the manner in which you do it, even as someone who no longer believes in any religion. Keep helping people out of a cult if you can. Even if it’s not into any particular religion, you’d be saving them from not having an enjoyable or fulfilling life.
Who in their right mind would want to be destroyed at Armageddon?
Jesus' warnings were not intended to make people feel warm and fuzzy
Likewise, the promise of everlasting life was clearly intended to make people want it
And finally and on the matter of condition love, such reasoning is reminiscent of an underdeveloped child who has yet to come to terms moral accountability - to which I'd add, be it love or justice, one way or another, everyone learns that life does not consist of doing whatever we want without consequence.
At any rate, it doesn't need to be said that you are not of GOD, as your disposition is one death without the hope of everlasting life, which speaks volumes of the quality of your so-called message. But try as you may and as much as you hate it, people can and will continue to put faith in the hope of everlasting life with GOD, and in fear of loosing that which is most precious - case and point, Satan has already lost my friend, and so now you get to gnash your teeth along with him until your own judgement comes to past
@@johnbee1069 You seem very angry for one of the happiest people on earth, John. Joking aside, to be honest, I don’t care if people believe in any of it or not, IF they’re happy doing it. You speak to me as though you know anything about me. I don’t disagree that all actions have consequences, I just don’t believe in any of this, so to me it’s not worth it. None of it. You can say all this about Satan having lost, ok, cool? I’m not on Satan’s side. I DO NOT believe he exists lol. I don’t know why you’re even here, it doesn’t seem like a very Witness thing to do, but I’ll just tell you this, if you’re happy believing what you believe, go for it. I just don’t want the people who are not happy living that life to be afraid of an Armageddon that isn’t coming. Because I don’t believe that it is. And I lived a good part of my life afraid of it, guilty and afraid. If it were all true, MAYBE it would be worth it to some people. Me? I don’t think so. Even if I still believed it, a god who would take that sort of action, killing billions, even though through him, “ALL things are possible,” it just shows that he wants to do it. He just wants to kill everyone. And for what? For not giving him devotion? That is true selfishness. Nothing loving about killing your kids because they didn’t know or couldn’t be convinced that you existed. And if them knowing you exist is so important, maybe say hello some day. Your comments about, “warm and fuzzy” feelings don’t mean anything to me. I haven’t had a warm and fuzzy life and I don’t imagine that I ever will. I’m not exactly sure where that came from. If anything, witness propaganda and video releases are the things that try to make people feel warm and fuzzy. Blasting inspirational music to images of Jesus riding in on a magical cloud to save them while they’re surrounded by armies of men, who are after them because they’re the only religion who decided to keep practicing lol. Witnesses crying in their seats watching it. That’s warm and fuzzy nonsense imo. If you’re truly happy with your religion, keep it up, no sense in talking to apostates online. You aren’t even supposed to be. But I would advise you to do your thorough research on the organization that you’re in if you have doubts. Because after the things I found out, there’s no way that the witness religion is true. That I know for sure. Maybe the Bible is true, Idk, I doubt it. But the witnesses have themselves a cult. And if Jehovah is running that cult, he’s either evil or he doesn’t care. Look into it. Unless you’re happy. If you’re happy, stay ignorant and wait your whole life hoping for the promised paradise. Because you will live your whole life waiting.
This is masterclass. He uses the same passive aggression they use, so have a very good chance to be attracted by it and let in some real truth.

@@alexshatner3907saiah 10:21 Yahweh is also referred as mighty God. Same title
I’m an Ex JW, its taken me probably six years to get over leaving it. It’s like working through stages off grief, your upset, then angry, feel resentment and want revenge, it then seems to go two ways and ppl can dedicate their lives to exposing their practices (which I’m not going to condemn as some ppl have been truly wronged or you feel sorry for them and want to help them.
It took 2y for me to pick another Bible up, and probably another year until I went to a church, both still seemed like I was betraying them.
The problem is that most of the JWs inc my family think everyone who’s not a JW is working for the devil, literally. It’s extremely hard even using just the Bible to get them to accept that any teaching from the GB is wrong, then when it turns out to be wrong it just a matter of the light getting brighter.
You have a group of men, who have said they are neither infallible or even inspired that 8 million ppl will obey without question.
They will not look up scriptures that prove their teaching wrong, you can use their own literature to prove their teachings wrong but it still doesn’t matter. The trick is to break the link with the top! Thankfully since covid they haven’t met at Kingdom Halls or been knocking on doors, so the control is not as tight.
I’m now a Christian, and I pray that this cult is toppled, as Jeff said in the video they are very zealous and 99% are good people. They just don’t believe in the Trinity, which takes away Jesus deity and allows the GB to call him Michael or a god (a false god) therefore they don’t view him as deserving worship, they view him only as a Adam. I wish they would all read The Forgotten Trinity by James White, that woke me up, made me realise the truth, that J I Packers Knowing God, RC Holiness of God, books by John MacArthur and some loving Christians on Ex JW forums.
The Holy Spirit led me to Jesus Christ, He’s now my Lord and saviour, and I want for the witnesses what I now have but never had as a JW - A relation with Jesus Christ - It’s changed my life in so many ways. I used to write poems on my FB and you can see where the anger turns to love!
Much love to you and what a awesome video, you showed a lot of respect.
This was why I left the org or why they disfellowshipped me
ruclips.net/video/MGbcPhW-Afg/видео.html
Out of curiosity, which Bible did you pick?
The trinity is a work of the devil btw, putting faith in the likes of James White after raising issue with the JW leaders is akin to going from the frying pan into the fire;

Quite obviously, there is no trinity with the GOD of the Christian Bible, but that won't stop the children of the devil from spreading lies in his stead.
Such is the world we live-in, steeped with lies and deceit - a world fit for the devil himself
Amazing, praise God. Thank you for sharing your testimony.
Thank you - Def praise God,

I left many many years ago myself. It was a horrific exit and years of pain after even being saved. The ptsd is real. Since I was saved in 1996, I’ve been praying the entire organization is toppled as well. We do this by following Jesus and loving as He leads us. This video is reflecting answered prayers from our prayer closets. One day you’ll have more freedom than you even can express. I bless you with JOY abundantly
@@gratefultobehere Wow, it’s so nice to hear of someone who found Jesus too. Think as we were JWs that’s exactly what happened, as He isn’t in the Org, or the head of it, they aren’t Christians (they don’t follow Christ) and when you go to Church, you visit the body of Christ.
I think I knew that straight away!
I hope you’re ok now from leaving, I’m seeing someone at the moment, and it’s amazing just how much the cult had / still has to a degree a say in the decisions I make and the thoughts I have!
Let’s keep praying, it will be toppled but let’s hope as many ppl leave and become members of the Body of Christ as possible before it’s too late!
God bless you!
Hi Jeff I’ve been listening to you and I am learning more about the Bible.
Thank you and bless you and your ministry. I pray that God will strengthen you with His strength. And I pray for God to keep on giving you wisdom.
In Jesus name. Be encouraged! Amen.
I love Jesus. His heart for us is truly unmatched.

Who has dominion over ALL of heaven and earth, who has the name above ALL names. God.

As a former Jehovah's Witness, i found the first video Pastor Jeff did when he spoke to a Jehovah's Witness and even though i had been out of the organization for years, it woke me up. Since then my heart to reach out to cults and atheist has grown, so much so i have been able to really witness to my family member still associated with the JW's. I have really been able to point out the flaws in the organization and to talk about who Christ really is. I know I truly became a Calvinist because i approached them original in my stage cage point but now, i am able to talk to them clearly and claim. Pray God changes their hearts to see Christ for who he really is. Bless all the works you guys have done so far.

First of all we have not seen ur pastor preaching door to door but he found on street Jehovah's witnesses preaching and u say to urself pastor has done good..... Is it true? We thank you Jehovah giving us a very high education u made it to us as our own property and u made us gone very far to understand the trueth just because we were able to listen to you..... It's gonna be too late the world to recognize this truth....Jehovah ur the only God who deserves to be worshipped and u have not permitted not even to ur son this worship .... This means even ur son play to you Jehovah.... the things that u permitted to him is to become a King in heaven and here on earth and could read to one thousand years .. Thanks even ur son depends on you almighty Jehovah......

3:22 "I know that what motivates you to come out here - it *has* to be love"
> No it doesn't have to be love. The fear of being destroyed at Armageddon if they don't preach; the requirement to hand in a monthly field service report; and the penalty of being labelled as "irregular" or "inactive" and the attendant harm such labels do to their reputation in the congregation, if they don't preach consistently enough; are all powerful motivators to get JWs out preaching. No love or holy spirit is actually required to motivate them to go out preaching, contrary to what the JWs claim. They only have to value their reputation in the congregation and have a fear of dying at Armageddon.
When I was a jw I would lie about my hours preached each month, so I wouldn't get in trouble with the elders and be counted inactive. Once your considered in active your friends and other jws would not hangout with you because you were viewed as a bad jw. Sad right. I didnot go out door to door because I loved people, I did it because I had too, i I hated knocking on doors, I was hoping no one was home and couldn't wait to get home. I'm no longer a jw. I'm happier and have true peace and love for myself and for all people . NowI enjoy shareing and talking about God and our Savior because I'm not forced too, it's because ive learned true love by reading and studying my bible without jw false indoctrination and false doctrines.
Caribbean Man you are in need of professional help seek it.
Denise Stout, on the contrary, it might be you who are in need of professional help. For if I can calmly state a legitimate factual criticism about JW culture, and that factual criticism moves you to tell me I need professional help, what does that reveal about your state of mind? It reveals that you are unable to stomach any form of criticism of your organization. How did your mind get to that state?
Years of indoctrination with self-serving Watchtower propaganda where JWs and / or the organization is labeled as "the only true religion", "true Christians", "Jehovah's Organization", "spiritual paradise" and many other self-promoting terms, while at the same time legitimate criticisms are heavily discouraged, if not forbidden, with such labels as "murmuring", "negative talk", "independent thinking", "apostate", etc. Thus you are conditioned to think only positive thoughts of the organization and to be fearful and hateful of any legitimate and factual criticism of it, to the point that you feel moved to make all manner or irrational excuses and nonsensical statements, and personal insults in an often ridiculous attempt to defend the indefensible. And I'm not speaking just about you personally. I'm speaking about JWs in general. It's a very well documented psychological phenomenon of the JW mind. In fact, it's not limited to JWs. People in other cults also resort to personal insults when they're unable to refute negative facts about their cult.
Well said Caribbean Man - sad when you can't express your opinions or beliefs anymore without being told you need 'professional help', but that's the progressive left for you, always spouting homilies about tolerance whilst being entirely intolerant of any ideas that don't directly correlate with their own!
Minerva Richards wooow glad He saved you
Can you tell me the main points to make impact on Jehovas witnesses?
The result of love for Jesus and having the true faith in him is obedience. When you have that type of obedience towards the true God, that is the beginning of the transformation in yourself. We are save through grace by faith. Never because of our own deeds.
Faith and works my friend, faith and works
@@johnbee1069 let me ask you this then. Do you earn salvation or that’s a free gift from God to us because of his grace? Didn’t you remember that he died on the cross to make provision that whoever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life? Was that because of our faith and works? I don’t think so. Because of his grace we have faith in him. And the product of our faith is obedience to follow his will and that’s works.
@@johnbee1069 when did something wrong when you were a child and your parent forgave you. Was that because you have faith in them and then you worked your way to their forgiveness or, you were forgiven because they love you and they are gracious to you?
@@showmethatthang
The simple fact of the matter is, we cannot have faith without works.
For if we have faith without works, then that faith is dead - James 2.26
That is why Jesus warned of loosing one's eternal life.
Therefore and with that being said, the conclusion is that applied faith is in-effect work.
Though it remains that many people today do not understand this, so they often find themselves referencing faith alone, and in retrospect to work, revealing that they themselves do not fully understand the nature of the arrangement.
@@johnbee1069 I didn’t say that you can be saved by faith alone. I agree that faith without works is dead but you must remember, his grace to us came first by dying on the cross. I have another question. What made you faithful to God in the first place?

@A long time ago we made it to paradise. False prophesies right from your own publications.

So whatever the date for the end of this system, it is clear that the time left is reduced, with only approximately six years left until the end of 6,000 years of human history." Watchtower 1970 May 1 p.273

For JWs, Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the True Living God. The Bible doesn't mention that Jesus is the "Almighty God" nor mention that he is part of the Trinity. God said "I AM the Almighty God", The phrase I AM is only used for ONE PERSON and not three persons. We learn that "I am" is for one literal person even from grade school.
So if it’s one person then how could Jesus say I Am as well as the Father saying I Am. They are meaning they are of the same essence. B furthermore if that is the case Jesus was already on Earth getting baptized while God from heaven spoke down to John the Baptist at that same time. Get Jesus both says I Am and attributes the same Holy given Names of God. Not that he is the first angel or a Creation from God. He came down lowly into creation to guide and lead us, only God can save us from Damnation that’s why he came down.
You ignore plenty of other scriptures that imply the trinity. The word trinity doesn’t pop up but is instead implied. Jesus got crucified for saying he is God on earth. Sooo 😊
Also idk how you can trust the Bible that was edited from the Bible we read. Rutherford re made the King James Version and made the new world translation cause he didn’t agree with it. He added words like in union with one another which completely changed the meaning. Idk how you’d trust a fictional writer over the most accurate version of the Bible

They changed the Bible to the NWT (New World Translation) where they changed the name of "God" to Jehovah and they also twisted some words because they start with the presupposition that Jesus is not God, but "a god" look in John 1.
They have very poor biblical scholars that do not interpret and translate the Bible correctly from the original Greek. It's sad because they are so brainwashed by the Watchtowers (an organization that repeatedly made false prophecies regarding the end of the world and that always change their stances on social issues. )
Many of their beliefs are based in error so they must change them quite often.

_8'These people draw near to me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 9And in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrine rules made by men.'"_ - Matthew 15.8-9
_13But he answered, "Every plant which my heavenly Father didn't plant will be uprooted. 14Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. If the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit."_ - Matthew 15.13-14
_17Now I beg you, brothers, look out for those who are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and turn away from them. 18For those who are such don't serve our Lord, Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by their smooth and flattering speech, they deceive the hearts of the innocent._ - Romans 16.17-18
_3If anyone teaches a different doctrine, and doesn't consent to sound words, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness, 4he is conceited, knowing nothing, but obsessed with arguments, disputes, and word battles, from which come envy, strife, insulting, evil suspicions, 5constant friction of people of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. Withdraw yourself from such._ 1 Timothy 6.3-5!
Jesus’ last words was a prayer to his FATHER in the HEAVENS
He came to live we were created for
, but could not due to sin of the flesh that's why He's called the second and last Adam. God have flesh dominion in the garden, a sinless one had to come in flesh to take back what the enemy tricked out of people I.e. authority and the image if God (God is a spirit). In three garden, the Hebrew actually says "dying you shall surely die". There were 2 deaths, first the spirit of God within us immediately, and slowly the flesh which is dying since birth. We lost His image, He came to win it us back because only He can. If it was another creation it would be just as naive as Adam and Eve were and soon fall into sin. It's the nature of ignorqnr children when given free will. We sure do have the knowledge of good and evil now, but it came at a price, our innocence and the very image of God. Why did He give it us if He knew? If we didn't have a choice we wouldn't really be in His image. Someone of the flesh, inherited from the first Adam has to regain what we lost. Jesus was the only answer, with free will we would have always failed.
what i mean to say is Jesus had to come and live the life we never could . To live out the law that was and is impossible for us. So if He came in flesh like and for us to fulfill the law, He had to come like a son. Lol wouldn't have worked if He came in all His power and glory for we do not have that in and of ourselves, especially because we are born into this world with dead spirits separated from God. Scriptures state everything I've said.
Love the way this man is so humble while speaking.
Lots of people have humility - though this in itself doesn't mean they have the truth however
@@johnbee1069 So what is the truth? Any videos of Jws approaching Christian's and challenging their beliefs?
What Jeff and many other Christian's are doing is to point them to the truth.
Which is Jesus Christ, John 14:6.
@@t.macneil7048
Here are a few questions to help shed light on matters;
1. Who gave Jesus the truth?
2. What must we believe-in in order to saved in Jesus Christ?
3. Is the trinity the truth of God?
@@SmalltimR Thank you for your reply.
1. John 14:6 "I am the way the truth and the Life..."
Jesus is the truth and the standard of Truth. Jesus didn't say I will bring the truth, he is the truth.
2. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting Life."
See also Romans 5:8-9; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:4-6.
Salvation is a free gift from God, that you must take by absolute Faith, in Jesus Christ.
Salvation is by Grace alone and by Faith alone and in Christ Alone
Grace is God extending kindness to the unworthy. God Blessing us despite the fact that we do not deserve it.
Faith and Faith in Jesus Christ : we the sinner must absolutely believe what Jesus Christ did for us on the cross, that he was beaten, spat upon, whipped, shed his blood and died on the cross. That Jesus Christ took the punishment that I deserved. That all my sins were nailed to the cross, in the eyes of God I am now justified as righteous with God, not by any works of my own. But by what Jesus Christ did for me, he lived the life I could not live, in perfect righteousness. Because I have taken the amazing free gift of Salvation in Jesus Christ Alone that he was raised from the dead 3 days later. I have Eternal Life. (The moment you truly believe, you are indwelt with the Holy Spirit)
If you believe you have to earn your Salvation by your own works, you don't believe in the Son of God, Jesus Christ.
Now the believer in Jesus Christ must show "evidence of their Salvation" which is called regeneration or being born again. (The Holy Spirit fills you and helps change you from the inside out.) A completely new life walking in Holiness, hating the sinful things you once loved, and loving what God loves. The fruit of repentance, the fruit of forgiveness, the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:16-26) Our Good works as a Christian is a result of our Salvation, by God's love, and I want to show my love and appreciation by giving my life to my King, Lord and Savior.
3. The Trinity The word 'Trinity' isn't in the Bible, neither is the word 'Bible' or 'theology' yet all important in understanding God's word. I will say this I never believed in the Trinity, until I became a true Christian I completely understand the concept. Once I became a "child of God" he has opened my heart, eyes and mind everything. Amazing! 60 passages in the Bible that mentions all three of the trinity together.
@@t.macneil7048
It was a pleasure reading your response - it isn't often that we get to consider well defined comments complete with Bible scriptures.
With that said, I'd like to take time to consider the information and get back to you once I have read through all of the passages - thanks again, and God bless
13:10 Obedience is necessary! John 14:15 “If you love me, you will observe my commandments.
(John 3:36) The one who exercises faith in the Son has everlasting life; the one who disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains upon him.
This "pastor" teaches lies.
I have a family member that is a JW it is very hard to talk to her. I pray that she is set free and be free indeed. Thank you Jesus my Lord and Savior.
I think you mean it is hard to convince her to your thinking. I would think she would love to talk about her beliefs. Do you actually listen, and reason on what she said?
Excellent!!!! I sooo wish you could speak to my JW family. You’re evangelizing is superb. Thank you for sharing
prist is lie jesus is the son and god is the father this is so fake news
You share with them with love!
Johnny G agreed. With love is the only way we should be speaking God’s Word.
Maybe God is calling you to share?
BigFish 24/7 good morning; I believe God is calling me to share which is what I have been doing actually . 😉 thank you very much
Too bad I can’t share with my family being shunned and all that. So wouldn’t it be nice if someone else shared the true gospel with them? Particularly someone who speaks with love like Jeff since that’s the only way to reach them?
*I wish I were in the place of those sisters. As a former member of a Trinitarian Protestant church, I'm well acquainted with all the tactics of Trinitarians.*
You and me both :)
I call bs
And you would be given the true Gospel by Jeff. Trinity is truth.
Man jeeeffff is fiiirrre
I live in Lebanon
We don't have much jehovas witnesses or mormons
But we have Islam and Catholicism
Pray for us!
I will pray for you so that a J.W.visit you soon,i love people who are interested in learning about Jehovah.
Johnny G just as difficult but we can only rely on God through His Holy Spirit to guide us.
Johnny G so are you saying Catholics aren't Christians. Wow. Do you realize Catholic Bible is the complete Bible. All the man made religions took out passages in the Bible that didn't fit their teachings. Only Catholic Bible is complete. Doesn't that tell you about religions started by men rather than Jesus.
Johnny G I would have thought you’d have Orthodox Christians aswel.
I pray that God will open the eyes and heart of those who have yet to know the true Gospel and the real version of our beloved, compassionate and full of Grace Jeshua Christ!
As a former Kauai resident.. We need Jeff especially on the Westside. This isn't my account but your doing a good thing. Those kauaians need you fr
He's doing EXACTLY what we're supposed to do! Way to go!
Colossians 1 on creation is easily solved: God is not a created being so that leaves Him out from all the creation that came Through Jesus. I wish JWs hadn't added the [ ] to that Scripture because it is self explained in many other Scriptures God is a not a created being. And "only Begotten" DOES mean having been created, or giving birth to.
"The Great Tribulation" will without fail catch you in your anger. It will catch your suddenly. It is coming. God has always had on organization on Earth and they bore his name. Gods name is that important. Ancient Israel committed many, many sins, but Jehovah kept forgiving them. In the first and into the second AD, again God established his chosen people through his only begotten son, Jesus Christ. They, too, sinned and did many errors, but God chose them because his word must be fulfilled. Jesus helped a prostitute from the stones of the Jews and other onlookers, a prostitute, and they saw Jesus spoke with love and forgiveness, yes, even a prostitute. God has always, it has never failed, had an organized chosen people. Jews denied Gods only begotten son, and then persecuted him and had him killed. And they still don't recognize Jesus Christ as The Messiah, as Gods only begotten son. It can't be them. All other religions ignore the Bibles core teachings and instead follow their own theories. I hope. Yes, some JWs have done serious sins, and while they support the 'two witness' pattern, set forth by none other than Gods word itself, there is no way in the intellectual and wise and reasonable system they should all be blamed. They follow the order set into print by none other than God, Jehovah. Gods name is found some 7,000 times in the Hebrew Scriptures, all, all in praise worthy and approval ways. Jesus and the apostles quoted from those specific Scriptures so it is clear Gods name must have been spoken and taught to all listeners in the first and into the second centuries AD. Of course JWs are going to sin, they are imperfect, that is why they have a disfellowshipping order, just as God wants or demands. "Do not even sit with anyone called a brother" says Gods word (1 Corinthians 5:9-13 [focus namely on 11 for the point]). Gods word must be fulfilled, completely, so Isaiah 2:2-4 must take place, but when? "In the last days." Daniel also wrote concerning Gods word and fulfillment at Daniel 12:7-10; "Then one said to the man clothed with the linen, who was up above the waters of the stream: 'How long will it be to the end of the wonderful things?' And I began to hear the man clothed with the linen, who was up above the waters of the stream, as he proceeded to raise his right [hand] and his left [hand] to the heavens and to swear by the One who is alive for time indefinite: 'It will be for an appointed time, appointed times and a half. And as soon as there will have been a finishing of the dashing of the power of the holy people to pieces, all these things will come to their finish.' Now as for me, I heard, but I could not understand; so that I said: 'O my lord, what will be the final part of these things?”
And he went on to say: 'Go, Daniel, because the words are made secret and sealed up until the time of [the] end. Many will cleanse themselves and whiten themselves and will be refined. And the wicked ones will certainly act wickedly, and no wicked ones at all will understand; but the ones having insight will understand.'" This supports Isaiah above. Acts 15:14-18 supports this, too. Malachi 3:16, 17, supports all of it, that Gods people will carry His name and they will be His people, as imperfect as they may be. But Gods core commandments will be His peoples core works and reason for their faith. They "abstain from blood" and they abstain from 'violence/war,' and they abstain from praying to saints, and they abstain from worshiping idols, and they abstain from pagan holidays, and they worship Jehovah God alone, making the correct distinction between God and his only begotten son, Jesus Christ. And they as united as expected by God: just as they were unified in ancient Israel, and just as they unified in early True Christianity, so it must be in the "last days." No other religion are like JWs because Gods word must and will be fulfilled. They love each other so dearly just as Jesus commended them to, but the love for God must come first, and then for Jesus, therefore they Obey the instructions in Gods word first, regardless if it's to your and yours distaste and dislike. God is first in their lives. Everyone knows this. Everyone. There is no other religion (Christian) on the planet so unified, that the only explanation is they must have Gods holy spirit. Philippians 2:1-8 backs this unity without question. They were united in same way, style and form of worship in Israeli times, and also in True early Christianity times, and so it must be in the last days. Gods word WILL be totally fulfilled. No other religion is all over the world in such unity preaching and teaching "the good news of Gods kingdom" as are JWs: no one come close. Matthew 28:19, 20 and Matthew 24:14 is being fulfilled. And will continue to until "the end" comes. There are sinners who come out from all religions, but JWs will stick with Gods word and will, if found guilty according to GODS word, disfellowship whoever member. The rest, whether in court or whatever any country does, is in Gods hands and/or the government system God has put in place.
And for their works and faith, for their beliefs, they are hated by false religion (99pc), and by the world. But that makes them happy, because it is God, Jehovah, who they please above all others. For their works, and faith, and beliefs, they were the targets of Hate in the first and into the second centuries AD. They were called names, cult, and worse, but it made them happy because its Gods Word that is first in their lives. No other religion has Gods approval: none. Gods word will be fulfilled. One thing you all get wrong is, you think all religions in the world are THEIR religion, and while that is mostly true, it is GOD himself who has His own religion. Every one from anywhere is able to "come and drink life's water free." Many have made that change. Many have come to Jehovah. It is their choice, not the or a religions' choice. Gods people have always had a governing body, which is why they have always been unified: Gods word must be fulfilled and completed. It is Gods doing. It must come to fulfillment. Peace.
PS: JWs are not there or here to fight, but teach and preach Gods word accurately. Those two "pastors" wanted nothing more than a "fight," lol, even if it seemed peaceful. They are doing it for RUclips views: JWs do it for Gods name to be made known, and therefore for Gods approval. There is a huge difference. And, they approached two Young ladies. I want to see those "pastors" have a discussion with two mature Witnesses and see what happens. There will be peace, but the "pastors" wont because they can't win...
So telling others about what the Bible dose not say is good he teaches a bunch of false doctrines like the divinity of Christ the trinity everyone goes to heaven
@@PraisebetoGod1 Jesus is God
John 1:1, Here the Bible reveals that the word was and is God, you can see in verse 14 that the word was made flesh. Meaning Jesus is God in the flesh
John 8:58, Jesus claimed to be before Abraham and referred to himself as I AM. Which is how God referred to himself in Exodus 3:14.
John 10:30, Here Jesus states that He and the Father are one.
John 20:28, When Thomas saw Jesus he said “My Lord and my God” The my God part is not corrected by Jesus, but encouraged.
Corinthians 1:15-16 Jesus is the visible image of the invisible God. All things were created through him.
Hebrews 1:1-4 Jesus made the worlds and is not a created being. Christ is above and beyond all other things.

@@PraisebetoGod1 How so? What’s your answer for Isaiah 43:10. There is only one God. Here are some more verses that support my claim.
1. Isaiah 44:6 The LORD is Israel’s king and defender. He is the LORD of Armies. This is what the LORD says: I am the first and the last, and there is no God except me.
2. Deuteronomy 4:35 Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the LORD he is God; there is none else beside him.
3. 1 Kings 8:60 that all the peoples of the earth may know that the LORD is God; there is no other.
4. 1 Chronicles 17:20 There is none like you, O LORD, and there is no God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
5. Isaiah 46:9 remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me.
I did not find this pastor to be respectful or lovingly confronting the Jehovah's Witnesses. He's obviously more educated and maybe right maybe not. Often, he spoken to them in a patronizing fashion saying he wanted to learn what their beliefs were based on their willingness to preach but, really trying to convince them that they were wrong and that he had the correct interpretation of bible teaching. I've seen this before, not impressed.
Well,I'm sorry that you didn't recognize the truths that came from him. The Truth within me recognized the Truth within Him. God is the TRUTH ! Jesus is the WAY.
benson1958 Jesus wouldn’t do it like he did
Galatians 1:9-10
"as we have said before, so now i say again: if anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed. For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ."
I love Galatians 1:10.
Because our MAIN FOCUS should be pleasing God, when we evangelize.
I read a lot of the comments here. And I found that a high percentage of people loved how this Pastor shared the gospel.
When our main focus should be our love for God and doctrine.
In my opinion, too many people get caught up in how the gospel is presented (what makes us FEEL good).
I'm not saying that we should be jerks when evangelizing (and sadly, there are a lot that are jerks when evangelizing).
But.... according to Galatians 1:10, our primary objective is sharing the gospel biblically, which sadly too many Christians don't.
Was Jesus unloving when he called out the Pharisees in Matthew 23? He called them vipers, hypocrites, white washed tombs full of dead men's bones.
Jesus is Love, but he always testified exactly with the Father.
In summation, I thought that this Pastor shared the scriptures well with the Jehovah's Witnesses. But... I did discern some flattery and false compliments on his behalf to them just so he could continue to speak with them.
Kinda played the nicey nice roll with them.
That, I don't agree with.
IMHO too many Christians try to do this when evangelizing. Their motive is to get the person who they are sharing with to like them.
Contextually speaking, that shouldn't be the main issue.
Our example from Jesus, as well as the Apostle Paul is preaching the gospel truth, regardless whether the people want to hear more or stone us; as they wanted to do with Jesus and the Apostle Paul many times.
Why do I say this, because if Christians like HOW the presentation comes across, or that's what motivates them to witness in the same way.
Then when serious opposition comes, and it will.
The nicey nice approach doesn't work. And the Christian won't know what to do at this point.
Yes!, we need to be loving, but..
loving in pleasing the LORD and loving in sharing doctrinally. Regardless whether the person is pleasant or hostile.
Bottom line, stop with the patronization and false compliments just to have them continue to listen.
