After 40 years as a Jehovah’s Witness, I had an encounter with Jesus, He set me free in a day. Also I was shown I had been under a spirit of fear. Now I am a born again child of God.
I enjoy these types of topics being a former J-Dub. But, I must offer some criticism. First, it's not 'Jehovah Witness' it's 'Jehovahs Witnesses'. Second, we were trained to absolutely shut down as soon as you referred to us as a cult. That will end the the conversation and you'll get nowhere. Third, if one comes to your door to spread their beliefs, you WILL NOT get anywhere arguing scripture or traditional Christian beliefs. If they feel they've been bested through history or theology, again they'll shut down. You'll be placed on a do not call list and they won't come back. The only Jehovahs Witnesses you'll get a point across to are those who already have question and one foot out the door. The pioneers and door knockers are not your target audience.
I tell them in a friendly way that I have been an Atheist and will remain so until my End and there is nothing to budge me, that puts me usually on their ' Do not Call again' list, and out of the Door they go, this works with JW, Scientologists and all others.
My house gets blacklisted every few years because my Dad speaks the gospel to them. I remembered the last interaction was something like "do you want heaven on earth?" And my dad responded "didn't Jesus say this earth shall pass away and there will be a new heaven and a new earth?"
@ucanliv4ever I was mistaken, Revelation 21 has John writing "1 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,”[a] for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea." Followed by "5 He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true." 6 He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life." Which honestly is more to Jesus's style of showing actions rather than saying what he's going to do. And not to be mean, but Jesus didn't say or write that in Ecclesiastes (outside of inspired by God aspect). The author of Ecclesiastes isn't fully named (probably a very old Solomon), but it was a child of David at that current moment in time, not in the long-term lineage aspect. Especially prevalent given the amount of the info is a reflection on the current situation and not typically pointing to the future like most Old Testament verses about Jesus. But it is actually nice to be reminded of that chapter given my own personal problems have me needing guidance and feeling Qohelet's struggles. I don't mind talking, like I said, my family likes to inform people of the Bible and be blacklisted than be mean like most.
What makes a jehovahs witness organization a cult is that, they Baptise you into a organization, not in the name of the father and son and holy spirit, and they force you through, disfellowship and fear guilt, and obligations, to follow there commands, which they call policies, as doctrines, and cherry pick and twist scriptures to do that, add to and take out words in the Bible, to fit there policies and doctrines, I know because I'm a exjw, who's been in mentality, and now is out mentality. By examining the scriptures carefully like the boereans, as well as researching the organization.
If any of the things you said was true, how come you gave no examples of what you are saying? However, Jehovah witnesses are fully aware of what Jesus said at John 6 v 44, SO there is no need to even bother with you.
@@archieliburd3794 to make a long story short, so to speak, do you personally need Bible scriptures, as a example, let me know and I will reply, if you keep a open mind, and not in the mind of the organization or governing body, And I know because I was in the organization most of my childhood life and part of my adult life,
Yes, and Revelation 1: 1 " A revelation by Jesus Christ which God gave him....." 1 Corinthians 8:5, 6 New King James Version For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many gods and many lords, there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live. Praise be, to the God and Father of our lord Jesus Christ.
I had two guys come to my door just the other day. As one who does read and study the Bible I asked them a simple question....how do I go to Heaven? I've got 10 minutes to live...tell me how to be saved? They look at me with blank stares. Then they wanted to talk to me about how their bible is the only correct bible. They were both very nice people and I was polite too...but we agreed to disagree.
@larysnw418 Did you count your comment as time ? Damn I'm so glad I no longer believe in your doctrines,it's sad people have been waiting since 1914 ,then 1925then 1975 to be able to live forever in paradise earth ,like the earth won't be overpopulated with trillions of people . Y'all have no logical thinking at all . Maybe old freemason Russell and drunk a$$ Rutherford can show people the way after of course they all change skin color being Russell said black skin was a curse
In order for a person to be saved they must agree to take a Bible study from one of Jehovah Witnesses. He or she will have to teach this person what the Bible says, they will have to make the decision, if they agree to what they are taught, if they don't, there will be know reason to continue having the weekly lessons. People would have to agree, that Jehovah Witnesses women, that are in good standing are not getting kids unless they have a husband, the young black teens are not going around killing other teens for fun or sports nor are their men doing it.
That was really informative. I accepted Christ as my Savior in 1971. I am so thankful for the hope I have in Christ. “He who knew no sin became sin for us so that we can become the righteousness of God”. “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. I don’t try to talk to Jehovahs Witness because I know they are ruthless in the handling of Scripture. I also know how hard they are to reach. I also know the price tag if they talked to you. What I do is quote acts 16:31. “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved”. I told them that my salvation is secure. Why would I want to trade for what they have to offer. Then I wish them a good day and say goodbye. Chuck Swindoll talked about not trying to talk to someone in a cult unless you have the training to do so. I think that is good advice. Me being polite, quoting Acts 16;31 and telling them what more could I possibly need than this and then politely saying goodbye without letting them answer is my way doing that. If you have to let them answer I would do as Chuck Swindoll suggested and politely not answer at all
Love what God has you doing for His Kingdom I got out in 2019 with just the Bible and the Holy Spirit no one told me the gospel and when I got saved I didn't know what had happened so I started watching RUclips videos called and apologist and we ended up getting married LOL now we have our own Ministry in Christ 🤍🙏 6th generation born in God can do anything it was a miracle I got saved!
As an ex jw who knows he was in a cult.... this is an extremely cultist conversation. At 3:40 mark and I'm already completely turned off by the ignorance.
If by Catholic Church you mean in the way it was before Christianity was legalized in the Roman Empire, where Katholikos meant Universal in greek, and so the Catholic Church or the Universal Church was all the christians churches all around the countries Turkey, Syria, Egypt, Europe, etc. If so when they all agreed that Arianism was a heresy is true is because it is what makes more sense from the scriptures and from what early christians believed. The fact that JW need to translate the bible in their own way to proof their theology is enough evidence that their are wrong, this is the principe Occam’s razor into logical thinking.
And by corrupting the scripting I meant the fact that they understand the Father calling Jesus his first born is a proof that Jesus was the first thing he created, even though God calls David the first born too, besides him not being not even the first king of Israel (Saloman came first), imagine the first son of his father (he was the youngest of 8), being the first born is a title of authority, is not about being actually the first one created. And to proof their idea of first born they have to add 4 times the word « others» in the book of Hebrews to say that through Jesus all « other » things were created, since they thought Jesus was created too. So this is why the Catholic Church and all other Churches that disagree with this heresy are right and JW are wrong. But fear not, I’m pretty sure Jesus Christ still save people who accepts him and puts his faith in him to wash his sin.
@@sulongenjop7436 JESUS did leave us. John 14 : 16 JESUS said he will send "another helper". John 14 : 26 "But the helper, the HOLY SPIRIT whom the FATHER will send to you..." John 14 : 28 JESUS has returned to his FATHER. Revelation 1 : 7 Everyone will see JESUS when He comes back.
The are supposed to put you on a no call list if you tell they to. I don’t guarantee they will but please give it a try. Tell them “I want you to put my house and name on your no call list.” If they ask why you could say I am extremely not interested.
Iam reading a book I found in our community book box. It is KEEP YOURSELF IN GOD'S LOVE and yes, I know WHO wrote it. But I use a NKJV Bible and there IS some good Biblical references that can apply to people of any religion. I think that's why my aunts were never able to convert me; I would NEVER use their bible, the NWT. They'll tell ya, "oh it doesn't matter which Bible translation you use BUT WE recommend the NWT". So I'd say, "then I can use any Bible I want". And their bible IS different. Recently they even removed verses, almost complete chapters out of John. There ain't no way I'm reading that book!
About the "Cross', I have a very old King James Bible and in it, it says "Stake" instead of Cross, . Also in this KJ Bible, it says that hell is the grave, not a lake of fire, but "the grave". I'm not a witness or anything, just thought I'd share that.
dee dee it was a stake Greek stauros you are right you are also right with the understanding of the word Hell Greek Hades because in the Book of Revelation 20:13-15 Hell the grave is destroyed in the lake of fire which is the second Death.
The word Hell actually replaces 5 (I think - just going from my bad memory) words in the Bible. Hades (Greek / NT) was one of them yes but the Hebrew (OT) term Sheol (grave or pit) is what you are mentioning.
There is a difference between ,hell and the Lake of fire 🔥 or the ever lasting fire 🔥 reserved for the wicked , Jesus mentioned the ever lasting fire 🔥.
The NKJV is the only version recomended by Greeks for English speakers. It says cross. The JW's want us to choose the 8 men, who have never studied Greek, instead of the Greeks who say JESUS was cruxified on a cross. Incidentaly, the Greek church has analyzed the NWT and call it a horrible translation of thier language. The New Testament and Gospels were written in Greek.
1:20 that is not the definition of a cult. This guy is just making up stuff. A cult can have nothing to do with Christianity. It is a system of worship. The Bible is the touchstone.
The last time I had a JW knock, I opened the door and here stands the cutest little girl I’ve ever seen. About 7. There was another girl with her about 12 and of course adults standing back on the sidewalk. This little girl said “hi! My name is Lucy what’s your name?” I had no idea how to handle that. I was as nice as possible and listened to Lucy and then they left. I had nothing for that Situation.
Jesus said if. We, do mot bece like little chidren,, we will not enter the kingdom,,, as.adults,,, wevvvv, got a long way to go,,,,,,, we have aswell, help me JEHOVAH,,,
That definition of a cult is sooooo wrong. What about Scientology or NXIVM So Many no christian cults Also you are all arguing over who’s shade of black is more black then another.
They believe their book is more correct than the Bible, to teach people about Jesus Christ, there is no greater book than the Bible, they are not the only ones who have said the Bible have mistakes in it, and if you listen to that stuff a person may start to accept what the say as the truth and it couldn't be, but they have a right to believe like many others according to their heart.
"STOP, LOOK, LISTEN: Luke 8:17 "For there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed, nor is there anything carefully hidden that will never become known and never come to light." it is part of the new covenant that Jesus made with his disciples to eat the bread that represents his body and drink the wine that represents his blood, how will you have eternal life? (Luke 22:19,20). doctrine of men or the word of GOD?" observe (John ch 3:16,17) 16-“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever exercises faith in him may not be destroyed but have eternal life. 17-For God did not send his Son into the world that he might judge the world, but that the world might be saved through him." observe (John ch 6:53-57) 53- So Jesus said to them, "I say- to you with all certainty: Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in yourselves. 54 - He that feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I do. I will rise again at the last day, 55- for my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56- Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood remains in union with me, and I in union with him. Just as the Father who lives sent me and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on me will live because of me. the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me". notice what Jesus said: Matthew 23:13 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because they close the kingdom of heaven to men; for you yourselves do not enter, nor do you let in those who are on their way to enter." look at the Conclusion of Jesus (John ch 10: 09,10) 9- I am the door; whoever enters by me will be saved, and will enter and he shall go out, and find pasture.” 10- A thief comes only to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.
the only problem for Jehovah's Witnesses is not to take as an example what Jesus instituted in their memory, which was to eat and drink the emblems in the Lord's Supper! for it is one baptism and one hope of eternal life. Ephesians 4: 4-6 note 4- There is one body and one spirit, just as you were called in a hope to which you were called; 5- one Lord, one faith and one baptism; 6- God, unique and Father of all, who is above all, and through all and in all.
You lost me at your poor definition of a cult. Read Stephen Hasan’s book on the subject . It’s not about specific ideology, but control. Yes, JWs are a cult, but not by your definition.
The book of acts,,, says this sect is spoken anout every were I go,,, true too,, we are, a.,""cult,,""'exodus, cha,9,v 16, jehovah is the true,God, , , , os even a sect,,
Are you not underestimating people's intelligence? Why should you be the person to 'tell people, what to say to the JW's e.t.c" I had them call on me and said "Thank you for coming to my home on this cold morning! " and I thanked them for making the effort to call on me! I have never in 36 years of living in this road ever had a catholic or protestant bother to call at my home to preach to me! So JW's 'bring it on'. I am an adult and have enough common sense to know what to say to callers at my home, thank you!
Not JW but applaud those that. honor their beliefs.Few Christians witness to unbelievers and if honest one can't tell the difference between them non-Christians. Is it possible that being true to their beliefs the cause for the negativity?Will they be better off not witnessing and living as if they don't believe like the rest?
@@barbararichardson2747 My study of religion leads me to realise that any group that have resisted &opposed the 'orthodox' churches from the 3rd century onwards have been persicuted. For example the 'Waldenses who were slaughtered in the thousands by the pope sanctioned armies of the vatican ( see 'Merindol massecre in the 16th century ) Many minority groups have been similarly treated as well as the JW's during world war 1 & 2 because they refuse to kill their fellow men they were imprisoned. The blood issue which has diminished rather since the heamophiliac commmunity are sueing governiments in the UK & France over tens of thousands of deaths due to contaminated blood transfusions . I am not a JW but know many very sincere families of JW's who seem to me live much closer to the early Chruistians then the apathetic churchgoers in my community! I will defend any minority group who are marginalised by the 'mainstream' religions who I feel are far removed from the original teachings of the gospels!
King James version mentions the word Easter at Acts12:4. Easter is a pagan holiday festival that goes back to the ancient Babylonians and ancient Canaanites. The ancient Canaanites worshipped a pagan goddess called Ashtoreth. The ancient Babylonians worshipped a fertility goddess called Ishtar or Beltis. The ancient Greeks adopted the pagan festival and they called it Eoster. The ancient Romans adopted the pagan holiday or festival and they called it Astarte. In the 17th Century the Protestant Churches adopted the pagan holiday or festival and they called it Easter. Easter is a fertility goddess. The Easter Bunny and the Easter Eggs represent fertility gods. The original Greek word for PassOver is Pasch.
It was only for the early church Today we have bibles to read At our leisure Other cults also engage in door to door all with their own Versions of scripture!
Let me say this about John1:1. When the Godspel was written, our alphabet (Greek alphabet, I am Greek writing this from Greece) did NOT have lower case letters. Check any ancient Greek inscription or manuscript and you will see that all Greek letters are in capitals. Same goes from Latin. Lower case letters were used at about the 8th century AD (Caroligian miniscule). So John could NOT have written "god" but "GOD".
@ScottJackson420 Goodmorning Scott. Jesus is not an angel, he is God and not "a god" as JWs wrongly claim. Look at Rev. 22,13 and 22,16. And also Hebrews 1, 1-5. Enjoy your weekend, regards from Athens, Greece.
@ScottJackson420 According to the WT an "angel" is speaking. In the original Greek Bible is very clear that Jesus is speaking. the A and the Omega (ἐγὼ τὸ Α καὶ τὸ Ω, ὁ πρῶτος καὶ ὁ ἔσχατος, ἀρχὴ καὶ τέλος)
@ScottJackson420 Νο dear Scott. The angel is an angel and Jesus is Jesus. It is very clear to see. It is hard for me to explain in English because I don't know the KJB . Anyway the answer is very clear of who is speaking at 22:7. "I am coming quickly". Who is coming quiclly? Jesus !22:20 "Come Jesus". Jesus is present at this time (22:1,3).
@ScottJackson420 Let me add one more thing: If you read 22:8 the angel is "showing" to John, but the one who speaks is Jesus. John would never see an angel and say "that is Jesus".
@ScottJackson420 This is what I have been doing all afternoon, apparently we understand this verses differently. In tte passaages you say it is Jesus talking saying that He sent his angel, right? But in 6 says that Jehova sent His angel. This whole chapter is clear that the Angel is showing to John but Jesus does the talking.
I was in the class by Walter? he wrote a book called Kingdom of the cults we had class every thersday at CCCM in the 70s First these days I would respect them for thier Fire and Balls to try to preach to you about God as they understand Him then Just say you belive that Jesus in God that ends it because they dont belive that
1Peter3:18 For Jesus Christ died for the sins for the righteous and unrighteous. He was put to death in the flesh but he was raised to life in the spirit.
Hebrews 1:5 For unto which of the messengers [of God] said he at any time, you are my Son, This day I have begotten you [again]? And again, I will be to him a Father, And he shall be to me a Son? 6} And when He [resurrects to] bring the firstborn again into the inhabitable world He said, And let all the messengers of God worship him. 7 And of the messengers [of God] He said, “Who makes His messengers winds, And His ministers flames of fire?: 8 but to the Son He [The Father] said, Your throne, [Ho Theos] “The Almighty God,” is forever and ever; And the Scepter of good works is the Scepter of your kingdom. 9 you have agape loved [legal] works of the law, and hated works against law; Therefore God, your [Father] God, has anointed you [as The Christ] with the oil of gladness above your fellows.
Bobby you and millions of so called Christians not only belive in the lies that you follow one of them being the 25th of December, can you please show me where in the Bible this practice is found,and most of all where it originated. I look forward to your Scriptural reply.
The celebration of Dec 25th is not a lie, it's never been promoted as an exact time of Christ's birth. It was day taken from pagans, no one remembers what was originally celebrated on that day, so a win win, but to say Christians believe in a lie(S) is a vague comment.
@@alfonsoreynosa8143 First off all the early followers of Christ did NOT celebrate Christ's birth let alone there own Birthdays "something that only pagan do" .Second the date 25th was already observed by the Romans when they celebrated the Birthday of the sun god sol invictus. It was in the 4th century that the Date was used for the birth of christ even though know one knows his exact date and there is know where in Scripture that asks his true followers to do, and it was NOT in the winter time because the shepherd were still outdoors. Third Christ asked his true followers to Observed his Death because he Died for mankind this is being done each year by his True followers.
I’m open to calm discussion with anyone about their religious beliefs but I don’t judge or ridicule what they say I might or might not agree with it. The one thing I have the biggest question is the commandment about the Sabbath (7th Day Saturday) and the Catholic admission that the Catholics changed Gods Seventh Day to Sunday (1st Day). This makes me VERY WARY of anything Catholic (including Sunday Worship). So why do MOST Protestant Churches worship on the sabbath of the Pope & Catholic Church when Protestant means protesting the Catholic Worship System????
Since the Bible is the only authority for protestants. The answer to why we worship on Sunday comes from the Bible. 1. There is no example in the New Testament, incuding in Acts, that Christians observed the Old Testament Sabbath. 2. Acts 2 says the Christians met to break bread every day. This refers to Mathew 26, Mark 14, Luke 22, John 6, 1st Corinthians 10 and 11. 3. This breaking of bread was not simply a common meal for those are forbidden for the church during worship. The church came together for communion. 4. St. Paul said "if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest you come together for judgement (1st Corinthians 11 : 34). Acts 20 and 1st Corinthians 7 says the church worshipped on the FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK. 5. The Sabbath also was a shadow things to come that are in CHRIST (Colossians 2: 16 and 17). 6. We are a New Creation in CHRIST because of His death, burial and resurrection. We are not Moses.
@@ucanliv4ever The Ten Commandments are NOT the Mosaic Law, if they are then the Ten Commandments do not apply so we can do whatever we please as long as we obey secular laws. So does that mean we can ignore the Ten Commandments? According to the Catholic Church they Changed the Sabbath not God. Just ask the Church when the Sabbath was changed and who changed it and why!
Tell them your're an apostate & that you're in the Jehovah's Witness Protection Program. 😂 Better than anything in the video...I thought it was supposed to be about how to talk to Jehovah's Witnesses
From what I saw, they seem to just be a branch of Pentecostals. I would be cautious of any group who tries to come up with "fundamental truths" instead of using the Apostles/Lord's Creed. Or if you are part of the church, keep any eye out if they are actively going against scripture. Stay vigilant
*ONLY JWs can study the Bible* and come to the conclusion that their top 8 elders (Kenneth Cook, Samuel F. Herd, Geoffrey Jackson, Mark Stephen Lett, Gerrit Losch, Anthony Morris III, Mark Sanderson, David H. Splane) are the "faithful & wise slave" that Jesus mentioned in the 2,000+ year old Bible. That this "entity", someone from the Bible lives here today in 2022 in modern day Warwick, New York at JWs headquarters and that they (average JWs) "need to obey" them. JWs believe this. LOL Yes, JWs are a cult! "We *need to obey* the faithful and discreet slave to have Jehovah’s approval." Watchtower 2011 Jul 15 page24 Simplified English Edition "At that time, the lifesaving direction that we receive from Jehovah’s organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint. *All of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not."* - Watchtower 2013 Nov 15 p.20 The only thing missing now is the koolaid! Actually, JWs didn't study the Bible and decide that their top elders are who Jesus mentioned in Matthew. Their top elders told average JWs that "they" were Jesus' faithful & wise slave. Average JWs just accepted what these 8 men said. Accepted, never voted on, never discussed, never questioned, just accepted. Yes, JWs are a cult!
Historical Fact. One of the Primary reasons for interest in JWs was them pointing out flaws in Christendom. Now they got enough history to have flaws themselves. Quit judging one another, the Way is is not about conflict.
To the people in this video: actually, your doctrine is not part of the core beliefs of Christianity, but rather a subset or sect of Christianity that believes in a triune god. It makes you sound, from your video, that you are part of a cult ....
The Trinity comes from the Bible. As to it being some "subset" tell me who did not believe in the Trinity for 2,000 years. Mathew 16 : 18 The church cannot die. Luke 1 : 33. "...of his kingdom, there will be no end." John 14 : through 26 Bur the Helper, Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in MY name, will teach you all things and remind you of everything that I said." John 14 : 16 "The helper will abide with you FOREVER." Who were the "Christians" who did not believe in the Trinity for the last 2,000 years. Before saying that they were hidden, read mathew 5 : 13 through 20.
Brazilian Spiritualists or Kardecists have a similar view of God and Jesus as WJ, apart from believing in spirit immortality and reincarnation. Part of WJ's bible was indeed Pastor Johann Gruber's wife's psychographics.
"someone who rejects one or more of the Christian doctrines"...? What? Ha! So everyone in the world who isn't a Christian and even someone who isn't a your kind Christian is a cult? Oh, that's amazing. I can't wait to hear what gems you have next! 🤣
Thank you for mentioning this. It's incorrect at best and offensive at worst. If you want your religious views respected you have to respect the religious views of others. The time to stop that respecy is when: 1. someone tries to control what you believe 2. someone's beliefs causes them harm 3. someone's beliefs causes them to harm others
You completely misunderstood what hes trying to say. hes clearly talking about groups that proclaim to be "christian" but reject core doctrine of christianity. islam for example is not a cult because they dont claim to be christian, when they reject our beliefs.
Even a Christian cannot brush aside the worship of Jehovah as God. In Revelation 1:5 the Son of God called himself Jesus Christ, 'The Faithful Witness.'" When on earth as a man he was a Jew, an Israelite, to whose nation the words of Isaiah 43:10 was written: "'You are my witnesses, ' is the utterance of Jehovah, even my servant whom I have chosen.'" Jesus demonstrated that he a faithful and true witness of Jehovah God. His genuine disciples today must be the same kind of witnesses, Jehovah.
Please do not fabricate lies! No one is brushing aside the worship of Jehovah. You _cannot_ honor the Son without honoring the Father: "Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him." (John 5:23) By demoting Jesus to "a god" all you are doing is dishonoring the Father yourself!
Isaiah 9:6 New World Translation (JW bible) For a child has been born to us, A son has been given to us; And the rulership will rest on his shoulder. His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, *Mighty God, Eternal Father,* Prince of Peace. How many Mighty Gods, Eternal Fathers do you believe in? What does Immanuel mean?
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.
Im from Quebec but i have a authorized version of the king james bible 1611 why it is mention Jehovah in it? Many say that this is the only true bible?

The definition of cult is not sufficient i think, or correct even... Almost every religious groups reject the others. There are more accurate definitions to describe a cult this days, but i take back that is incorrect, it sounds incorrect to me but i think was just lacking...
It's amazing to me, that you would love something so much, and when you broke up, you felt the need to get back at the one that gave you so much joy... If it really meant nothing they would be no podcasts or any type of shows or any type of negative comments. Strong faith in a clean organization that does not take money from you, " all voluntary". Can that really be so bad? I guess doing what is easy makes you feel free and spacious.. Matt 7:13, 14
Rather than hightlight what Jehovah's Witnesses and its teachings, go after the Catholic Church, Christianity, Judaism, Islam and their Bibles and dogma. There is where you'll the falseness, deception, mythology, astro-theology, Freemasonry, and occultism. You know the network behind this stuff and the Mammon protocol.
Hello. I am not a Jehovah witness I am a Christian. The Bible teaches that there is God , his voice (The Word/born as Jesus) And holy spirit his moving power you see all three of them in the first chapter of Genesis. The three are one. This is how Christians Understand the trinity When Jesus was born the book of John says the the word became flesh God birthed a part of himself his voice into his son and placed a part of himself into Mary That’s why Jesus was divine and human but still a part of God. The book of John says the word became flesh. That’s why Jesus said I can only say and do what I see my father do……Jesus was the word the voice of God born as flesh God was still in heaven. The Holy Spirit still existed with God but often would leave God in the old testament to visit the prophets…..and did the same with Jesus but when Jesus was baptized the Holy Spirit came and stayed in Jesus Everything I am telling you is clearly in the Bible you need to read and study it….in the book of revelation it backs up what I’m saying when Jesus returns he has his Name printed on his phone read it it says the WORD.
Heads exploded all across Christendom when the new world translation,in keeping with Greek grammar,inserted the indefinite article at John1:1c. There were even false claims that it was the only translation to render the verse thus. Jesus is not a God insisted opponents. Well here is my question. If Jesus is not a God how could he be JEHOVAH,whom the bible plainly declares to be a God. Deuteronomy4:24ASV"24For JEHOVAH thy God is a devouring fire, a jealous God.:
God also called Ephraim his first born. God also called Israel His firstborn and we know that Israel was not the first country to exist. Also Jacob also called Israel was not the elder Esau was.
o all of your colleague ex-Witnesses: The Christian Church was founded by Jesus Christ on the day of Pentecost (50 days after His Resurrection) when the Holy Spirit entered the Apostles and gave them the power to speak in tongues (not gibberish but in a way that is understood by all who listened to them). That Church has continued undergoing all kinds of trials and tribulations right through to this day unchanged and untarnished by heresies and erroneous proclamations. Priests who are Jews and now Christians testify to the fact that the Eastern Orthodox Church is the logical and true post-Messianic continuance of the Faith that Christ professed during His incarnated Life on earth. Christ told us that He is the Light, the Way and the Life and that He will be with us always. Does that not give the lie to a church that is 'founded'/'discovered' some eighteen hundred years after His Resurrection? Find the true Church near you and find out more about the Truth. Reply
732 new ones were baptized from 9/22 - 9/23 Monthly? No Weekly? Nope Dailey? Yes 732 every day of the week in that period. Most were trinity believers although most agreed it NEVER made sense to them. Matthew 7:21-23 They were taught like you to ignore The Father. John 20:17. 1 Peter 1:3 Matthew 7:21 Matthew chapter 6
Bobby stop getting your so called facts wrong if you read the Proclaimers Book of the JWs on page 47 you can see for yourself Russell was convinced by Nelson H Barbour that Christ's invisible presents had begun in 1874 And on page 135 it was the belief that the Gentile times had ended and Armageddon would begin. Nothing was ever taught or believed that Christ's invisible returned was 1914. Not until the 1940s.
Yehovah, or more commonly Jehovah, is a combination of the vowels of the Hebrew word for God, namely “Eloah”, specifically e-o-a, and the four Hebrew consonants of God’s actual name Yod-Hey-Waw-Hey, transliterated into English as Y-H-W-H, artificially combined for the purpose of reminding the reader(s) in the synagogue not to pronounce the name, but say, “Adonai,” instead. Therefore, Jehovah is a composite, a name of fabrication, a concoction, which was never revealed by the God of the Bible, and not until the 17th century did this name exist in the English version of the Bible. The name of Iehovah, which later became Jehovah, was placed in the Bible by the auspices of men in high places within the Roman Catholic Church. This was done in ignorance due to the fact that the Catholic scholars, at the time, did not know of the practice by the Jews to place vowel points from other words, such as Eloah or Elohim onto the Tetragrammaton (four letters of God’s name) to remind the reader not to attempt to pronounce God’s actual name. Yehovah, Iehovah, or Jehovah was propagated since the 13th century (Iehova), and by the 17th century, it transformed into Jehovah. Iehova can be traced back to a 13th century Spanish Dominican monk/scholar, who went by the name Raymundus Martini. He wrote this erroneous name Iehova in his book called “Pugio Fidei” around 1270 AD after he saw in the Hebrew Scriptures the vowel points placed onto the Tetragrammaton (four Hebrew Consonants that are in God’s actual name YHWH), and this despite every Hebrew word was written with consonants only, in other words, no vowels in Hebrew words. The hybrid name Iehovah was propagated by the high-ranking Petrus Galatinus, his Latin name, confessor to Pope Leo X. He used the name Iehovah for the name of God in his book called: “De Arcanis Catholicae Veriatatis,” written in the year of 1518 AD. Again, this erroneous name, “Iehovah,” is from the combining of the Hebrew letters in God’s actual name with the vowels of Eloah, a Hebrew word for God. Again, due to the ignorance of these Catholic scholars of the Jewish practice of adding vowels from other words, for example, Eloah or Elohim, onto the Tetragrammaton, to remind the reader not to say the name of God. This was done by the Jews so that the Gentiles would not know the true name of God. The Jews started this practice in the Middle Ages, or the Dark Ages, in other words in Medieval Times possibly starting the practice circa 1100 AD. Those that support the name Yehovah or Jehovah base their support evidence on that period of time known as the Middle Ages. The vowel points of Adonai added to the Tetragrammaton (YHWH) would produce the hybrid name of “YaHoWaiH, and the vowel points of Elohim would produce Yehovih (see Strong’s Dictionary of Hebrew Bible Words, #3069, p. 509, Thomas Nelson Publishers, 2001). Yehovah came from the vowels points of Eloah (meaning God, singular) producing this hybrid name (see Strong’s # 3068, p. 509). Jewish scholars admit to the Practice: “In the Early Middle Ages, when consonantal text of the Bible was supplied with vowel points to facilitate its correct traditional reading, the vowel points for Adonai with one variation - a sheva (short ‘e’ sound) with the first yod [Y] of YHWH instead of the hataf-patah (short ‘a’ sound) under the aleph of Adonai - was used for YHWH, thus producing the form YeHoWaH. When the Christian scholars of Europe first began to study Hebrew they did not understand what this really meant, and they introduced the hybrid name ‘Jehovah’” (Encyclopaedia Judaica, vol. 7, p. 680). These Profanations causing substitutions of God's actual name were done to hide the name of God from the Gentiles, as the Jews were fearful of them profaning the true name of God.
I FEEL SO SORRY YOU GUYS, EVEN IF Jehovahs witnesses predicted the coming of Jesus, have any of you ever read Habakkuk 2 verse 3 ? It says, " king James version, FOR THE VISION IS YET FOR AN APPOINTED TIME, FOR IT WILL COME THROUGH, EVEN IF IT SHOULD TARRY, OR DELAY, KEEP IN EXPECTATIONS OF IT, FOR IT WILL COME THROUGH. (EVEN IF IT DELAY). Doesn't the scriptures say that every eye shall see the son of man coming in all his glory, and the scriptures also say he shall come like a thief in the night? Does anyone see a thief when he comes in the night? Doesn't the king James version say at Matthew 7 v 22 NOT ALL SAYING LORD, LORD, SHALL BE SAVED, and ROMANS 10 v 13 say ALL WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED???.??
I don't know what your first point is supposed to prove. But where does Matthew 7:22 say anything about the Jehovah's witnesses? Many different cults refer to that passage conveniently thinking that justifies them and condemns mainstream Christianity, which is totally false. If you look at the verse without reading Jehovah's witnesses into the text you will see that what it demonstrates is that these people _know_ the truth, but do not obey it. Disobedient people are found in all denominations.
After 40 years as a Jehovah’s Witness, I had an encounter with Jesus, He set me free in a day. Also I was shown I had been under a spirit of fear. Now I am a born again child of God.

I enjoy these types of topics being a former J-Dub. But, I must offer some criticism. First, it's not 'Jehovah Witness' it's 'Jehovahs Witnesses'. Second, we were trained to absolutely shut down as soon as you referred to us as a cult. That will end the the conversation and you'll get nowhere. Third, if one comes to your door to spread their beliefs, you WILL NOT get anywhere arguing scripture or traditional Christian beliefs. If they feel they've been bested through history or theology, again they'll shut down. You'll be placed on a do not call list and they won't come back. The only Jehovahs Witnesses you'll get a point across to are those who already have question and one foot out the door. The pioneers and door knockers are not your target audience.

Jehovahs witnesses!???
I tell them in a friendly way that I have been an Atheist and will remain so until my End and there is nothing to budge me, that puts me usually on their ' Do not Call again' list, and out of the Door they go, this works with JW, Scientologists and all others.
THE MOST important issue is: The FINISHED work of the Lord Jesus Christ. ALL cults deny THAT truth.
The Bible debunks itself. Free yourself of that pack of lies!

My house gets blacklisted every few years because my Dad speaks the gospel to them. I remembered the last interaction was something like "do you want heaven on earth?" And my dad responded "didn't Jesus say this earth shall pass away and there will be a new heaven and a new earth?"
They can't have the JW Borg hearing the real Gospel.
Our house was avoided several years. They know some of their people might listen to the TRUTH
@@Over-for-now - Yeah, our house was blacklisted when my husband and I answered the door together. They couldn't get away fast enough.
Florida, no Jesus didn't say that. Ecclesiastes 1:4 says " the earth remains forever "
@ucanliv4ever I was mistaken, Revelation 21 has John writing "1 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,”[a] for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea."
Followed by
"5 He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true." 6 He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life."
Which honestly is more to Jesus's style of showing actions rather than saying what he's going to do. And not to be mean, but Jesus didn't say or write that in Ecclesiastes (outside of inspired by God aspect). The author of Ecclesiastes isn't fully named (probably a very old Solomon), but it was a child of David at that current moment in time, not in the long-term lineage aspect. Especially prevalent given the amount of the info is a reflection on the current situation and not typically pointing to the future like most Old Testament verses about Jesus. But it is actually nice to be reminded of that chapter given my own personal problems have me needing guidance and feeling Qohelet's struggles. I don't mind talking, like I said, my family likes to inform people of the Bible and be blacklisted than be mean like most.
What makes a jehovahs witness organization a cult is that, they Baptise you into a organization, not in the name of the father and son and holy spirit, and they force you through, disfellowship and fear guilt, and obligations, to follow there commands, which they call policies, as doctrines, and cherry pick and twist scriptures to do that, add to and take out words in the Bible, to fit there policies and doctrines, I know because I'm a exjw, who's been in mentality, and now is out mentality. By examining the scriptures carefully like the boereans, as well as researching the organization.
If any of the things you said was true, how come you gave no examples of what you are saying?
However, Jehovah witnesses are fully aware of what Jesus said at John 6 v 44, SO there is no need to even bother with you.
@@archieliburd3794 to make a long story short, so to speak, do you personally need Bible scriptures, as a example, let me know and I will reply, if you keep a open mind, and not in the mind of the organization or governing body, And I know because I was in the organization most of my childhood life and part of my adult life,

Listennn I was approached by 2 young women today. Never again will I not have the words to give them.
I had two guys come to my door just the other day. As one who does read and study the Bible I asked them a simple question....how do I go to Heaven? I've got 10 minutes to live...tell me how to be saved? They look at me with blank stares. Then they wanted to talk to me about how their bible is the only correct bible. They were both very nice people and I was polite too...but we agreed to disagree.
How is their bible the correct one ,none are correct all have contents that has been deluded, deleted and twisted .But their bible is really deluded
@larysnw418 Did you count your comment as time ? Damn I'm so glad I no longer believe in your doctrines,it's sad people have been waiting since 1914 ,then 1925then 1975 to be able to live forever in paradise earth ,like the earth won't be overpopulated with trillions of people .

In order for a person to be saved they must agree to take a Bible study from one of Jehovah Witnesses. He or she will have to teach this person what the Bible says, they will have to make the decision, if they agree to what they are taught, if they don't, there will be know reason to continue having the weekly lessons. People would have to agree, that Jehovah Witnesses women, that are in good standing are not getting kids unless they have a husband, the young black teens are not going around killing other teens for fun or sports nor are their men doing it.
I had two of them come to my door and I told them to listen to Alan Watts lecture - What is Reality? And they said they would.
That was really informative. I accepted Christ as my Savior in 1971. I am so thankful for the hope I have in Christ.
“He who knew no sin became sin for us so that we can become the righteousness of God”.
“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.
I don’t try to talk to Jehovahs Witness because I know they are ruthless in the handling of Scripture. I also know how hard they are to reach. I also know the price tag if they talked to you. What I do is quote acts 16:31. “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved”. I told them that my salvation is secure. Why would I want to trade for what they have to offer. Then I wish them a good day and say goodbye. Chuck Swindoll talked about not trying to talk to someone in a cult unless you have the training to do so. I think that is good advice. Me being polite, quoting Acts 16;31 and telling them what more could I possibly need than this and then politely saying goodbye without letting them answer is my way doing that. If you have to let them answer I would do as Chuck Swindoll suggested and politely not answer at all
Love what God has you doing for His Kingdom I got out in 2019 with just the Bible and the Holy Spirit no one told me the gospel and when I got saved I didn't know what had happened so I started watching RUclips videos called and apologist and we ended up getting married LOL now we have our own Ministry in Christ 🤍🙏 6th generation born in God can do anything it was a miracle I got saved!

As an ex jw who knows he was in a cult.... this is an extremely cultist conversation. At 3:40 mark and I'm already completely turned off by the ignorance.
perhaps you could make your own video and shed some light on what you think should have been said. I would be interested to see it.
Yep!
It’s funny, he assumes that the conclusions that the Catholic Church came to are the true Christian beliefs. This is the problem with bias
If by Catholic Church you mean in the way it was before Christianity was legalized in the Roman Empire, where Katholikos meant Universal in greek, and so the Catholic Church or the Universal Church was all the christians churches all around the countries Turkey, Syria, Egypt, Europe, etc. If so when they all agreed that Arianism was a heresy is true is because it is what makes more sense from the scriptures and from what early christians believed. The fact that JW need to translate the bible in their own way to proof their theology is enough evidence that their are wrong, this is the principe Occam’s razor into logical thinking.
And by corrupting the scripting I meant the fact that they understand the Father calling Jesus his first born is a proof that Jesus was the first thing he created, even though God calls David the first born too, besides him not being not even the first king of Israel (Saloman came first), imagine the first son of his father (he was the youngest of 8), being the first born is a title of authority, is not about being actually the first one created.
And to proof their idea of first born they have to add 4 times the word « others» in the book of Hebrews to say that through Jesus all « other » things were created, since they thought Jesus was created too.
So this is why the Catholic Church and all other Churches that disagree with this heresy are right and JW are wrong. But fear not, I’m pretty sure Jesus Christ still save people who accepts him and puts his faith in him to wash his sin.
Jesus had left us in body but he had come back to be with us in spirit, therefore, Jesus has never left us.

Seriously, it's crazy.
Iam reading a book I found in our community book box.
It is KEEP YOURSELF IN GOD'S LOVE and yes, I know WHO wrote it. But I use a NKJV Bible and there IS some good Biblical references that can apply to people of any religion.
I think that's why my aunts were never able to convert me; I would NEVER use their bible, the NWT. They'll tell ya, "oh it doesn't matter which Bible translation you use BUT WE recommend the NWT".
So I'd say, "then I can use any Bible I want". And their bible IS different. Recently they even removed verses, almost complete chapters out of John. There ain't no way I'm reading that book!
About the "Cross', I have a very old King James Bible and in it, it says "Stake" instead of Cross, . Also in this KJ Bible, it says that hell is the grave, not a lake of fire, but "the grave". I'm not a witness or anything, just thought I'd share that.
dee dee it was a stake Greek stauros you are right you are also right with the understanding of the word Hell Greek Hades because in the Book of Revelation 20:13-15 Hell the grave is destroyed in the lake of fire which is the second Death.
The word Hell actually replaces 5 (I think - just going from my bad memory) words in the Bible. Hades (Greek / NT) was one of them yes but the Hebrew (OT) term Sheol (grave or pit) is what you are mentioning.
There is a difference between ,hell and the Lake of fire 🔥 or the ever lasting fire 🔥 reserved for the wicked , Jesus mentioned the ever lasting fire 🔥.
christianity got the inspiration for the hell fire brimstone stories from dante's inferno, a divine comedy😒
The NKJV is the only version recomended by Greeks for English speakers. It says cross.
The JW's want us to choose the 8 men, who have never studied Greek, instead of the Greeks who say JESUS was cruxified on a cross. Incidentaly, the Greek church has analyzed the NWT and call it a horrible translation of thier language.
The New Testament and Gospels were written in Greek.
1:20 that is not the definition of a cult. This guy is just making up stuff. A cult can have nothing to do with Christianity. It is a system of worship.
The Bible is the touchstone.
The last time I had a JW knock, I opened the door and here stands the cutest little girl I’ve ever seen. About 7. There was another girl with her about 12 and of course adults standing back on the sidewalk. This little girl said “hi! My name is Lucy what’s your name?” I had no idea how to handle that. I was as nice as possible and listened to Lucy and then they left. I had nothing for that Situation.

Also you are all arguing over who’s shade of black is more black then another.
I have mormons in my neighborhood. I just wanna know why they need the book of mormon when the holy bible should be enough.
They believe their book is more correct than the Bible, to teach people about Jesus Christ, there is no greater book than the Bible, they are not the only ones who have said the Bible have mistakes in it, and if you listen to that stuff a person may start to accept what the say as the truth and it couldn't be, but they have a right to believe like many others according to their heart.
In the congregations of Jehovah's Witnesses they practice rejecting the blood and body of Christ in the Lord's Supper!
"STOP, LOOK, LISTEN: Luke 8:17 "For there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed, nor is there anything carefully hidden that will never become known and never come to light." it is part of the new covenant that Jesus made with his disciples to eat the bread that represents his body and drink the wine that represents his blood, how will you have eternal life? (Luke 22:19,20). doctrine of men or the word of GOD?" observe (John ch 3:16,17) 16-“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever exercises faith in him may not be destroyed but have eternal life. 17-For God did not send his Son into the world that he might judge the world, but that the world might be saved through him." observe (John ch 6:53-57) 53- So Jesus said to them, "I say- to you with all certainty: Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in yourselves. 54 - He that feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I do. I will rise again at the last day, 55- for my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56- Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood remains in union with me, and I in union with him. Just as the Father who lives sent me and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on me will live because of me. the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me". notice what Jesus said: Matthew 23:13 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because they close the kingdom of heaven to men; for you yourselves do not enter, nor do you let in those who are on their way to enter." look at the Conclusion of Jesus (John ch 10: 09,10) 9- I am the door; whoever enters by me will be saved, and will enter and he shall go out, and find pasture.” 10- A thief comes only to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.
the only problem for Jehovah's Witnesses is not to take as an example what Jesus instituted in their memory, which was to eat and drink the emblems in the Lord's Supper! for it is one baptism and one hope of eternal life. Ephesians 4: 4-6 note 4- There is one body and one spirit, just as you were called in a hope to which you were called; 5- one Lord, one faith and one baptism; 6- God, unique and Father of all, who is above all, and through all and in all.

Are you not underestimating people's intelligence? Why should you be the person to 'tell people, what to say to the JW's e.t.c" I had them call on me and said "Thank you for coming to my home on this cold morning! " and I thanked them for making the effort to call on me! I have never in 36 years of living in this road ever had a catholic or protestant bother to call at my home to preach to me! So JW's 'bring it on'. I am an adult and have enough common sense to know what to say to callers at my home, thank you!
Not JW but applaud those that. honor their beliefs.Few Christians witness to unbelievers and if honest one can't tell the difference between them non-Christians. Is it possible that being true to their beliefs the cause for the negativity?Will they be better off not witnessing and living as if they don't believe like the rest?

Yes and no that all depends if they hold up to core beliefs of the faith
King James version mentions the word Easter at Acts12:4. Easter is a pagan holiday festival that goes back to the ancient Babylonians and ancient Canaanites. The ancient Canaanites worshipped a pagan goddess called Ashtoreth. The ancient Babylonians worshipped a fertility goddess called Ishtar or Beltis. The ancient Greeks adopted the pagan festival and they called it Eoster. The ancient Romans adopted the pagan holiday or festival and they called it Astarte. In the 17th Century the Protestant Churches adopted the pagan holiday or festival and they called it Easter. Easter is a fertility goddess. The Easter Bunny and the Easter Eggs represent fertility gods. The original Greek word for PassOver is Pasch.

Let me say this about John1:1. When the Godspel was written, our alphabet (Greek alphabet, I am Greek writing this from Greece) did NOT have lower case letters. Check any ancient Greek inscription or manuscript and you will see that all Greek letters are in capitals. Same goes from Latin. Lower case letters were used at about the 8th century AD (Caroligian miniscule). So John could NOT have written "god" but "GOD".
@ScottJackson420 Goodmorning Scott. Jesus is not an angel, he is God and not "a god" as JWs wrongly claim. Look at Rev. 22,13 and 22,16. And also Hebrews 1, 1-5. Enjoy your weekend, regards from Athens, Greece.
@ScottJackson420 According to the WT an "angel" is speaking. In the original Greek Bible is very clear that Jesus is speaking. the A and the Omega (ἐγὼ τὸ Α καὶ τὸ Ω, ὁ πρῶτος καὶ ὁ ἔσχατος, ἀρχὴ καὶ τέλος)
@ScottJackson420 Νο dear Scott. The angel is an angel and Jesus is Jesus. It is very clear to see. It is hard for me to explain in English because I don't know the KJB . Anyway the answer is very clear of who is speaking at 22:7. "I am coming quickly". Who is coming quiclly? Jesus !22:20 "Come Jesus". Jesus is present at this time (22:1,3).
@ScottJackson420 Let me add one more thing: If you read 22:8 the angel is "showing" to John, but the one who speaks is Jesus. John would never see an angel and say "that is Jesus".
@ScottJackson420 This is what I have been doing all afternoon, apparently we understand this verses differently. In tte passaages you say it is Jesus talking saying that He sent his angel, right? But in 6 says that Jehova sent His angel. This whole chapter is clear that the Angel is showing to John but Jesus does the talking.

Bobby you and millions of so called Christians not only belive in the lies that you follow one of them being the 25th of December, can you please show me where in the Bible this practice is found,and most of all where it originated. I look forward to your Scriptural reply.
The celebration of Dec 25th is not a lie, it's never been promoted as an exact time of Christ's birth. It was day taken from pagans, no one remembers what was originally celebrated on that day, so a win win, but to say Christians believe in a lie(S) is a vague comment.
@@alfonsoreynosa8143 First off all the early followers of Christ did NOT celebrate Christ's birth let alone there own Birthdays "something that only pagan do" .Second the date 25th was already observed by the Romans when they celebrated the Birthday of the sun god sol invictus. It was in the 4th century that the Date was used for the birth of christ even though know one knows his exact date and there is know where in Scripture that asks his true followers to do, and it was NOT in the winter time because the shepherd were still outdoors. Third Christ asked his true followers to Observed his Death because he Died for mankind this is being done each year by his True followers.
@@leeBoB4257 the Bible also never said you can sleep with a child. So is this also ok to do?

When will humanity breed from its
invented Gods?
I’m open to calm discussion with anyone about their religious beliefs but I don’t judge or ridicule what they say I might or might not agree with it. The one thing I have the biggest question is the commandment about the Sabbath (7th Day Saturday) and the Catholic admission that the Catholics changed Gods Seventh Day to Sunday (1st Day). This makes me VERY WARY of anything Catholic (including Sunday Worship). So why do MOST Protestant Churches worship on the sabbath of the Pope & Catholic Church when Protestant means protesting the Catholic Worship System????
Since the Bible is the only authority for protestants. The answer to why we worship on Sunday comes from the Bible.
1. There is no example in the New Testament, incuding in Acts, that Christians observed the Old Testament Sabbath.
2. Acts 2 says the Christians met to break bread every day.
This refers to Mathew 26, Mark 14, Luke 22, John 6, 1st Corinthians 10 and 11.
3. This breaking of bread was not simply a common meal for those are forbidden for the church during worship. The church came together for communion.
4. St. Paul said "if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest you come together for judgement (1st Corinthians 11 : 34).
Acts 20 and 1st Corinthians 7 says the church worshipped on the FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK.
5. The Sabbath also was a shadow things to come that are in CHRIST (Colossians 2: 16 and 17).
6. We are a New Creation in CHRIST because of His death, burial and resurrection. We are not Moses.
Cd mcyntire, we are no longer under the curse of the mosaic law. The law was abolished. Ephesians 2:15
@@ucanliv4ever The Ten Commandments are NOT the Mosaic Law, if they are then the Ten Commandments do not apply so we can do whatever we please as long as we obey secular laws. So does that mean we can ignore the Ten Commandments? According to the Catholic Church they Changed the Sabbath not God. Just ask the Church when the Sabbath was changed and who changed it and why!

Hello, is Assemblies of God cult? Ty, blessings.
From what I saw, they seem to just be a branch of Pentecostals. I would be cautious of any group who tries to come up with "fundamental truths" instead of using the Apostles/Lord's Creed. Or if you are part of the church, keep any eye out if they are actively going against scripture. Stay vigilant
That is not the definition of a cult... at all. Jesus had a small cult. Just 12 main members.
*ONLY JWs can study the Bible* and come to the conclusion that their top 8 elders (Kenneth Cook, Samuel F. Herd, Geoffrey Jackson, Mark Stephen Lett, Gerrit Losch, Anthony Morris III, Mark Sanderson, David H. Splane) are the "faithful & wise slave" that Jesus mentioned in the 2,000+ year old Bible. That this "entity", someone from the Bible lives here today in 2022 in modern day Warwick, New York at JWs headquarters and that they (average JWs) "need to obey" them. JWs believe this. LOL Yes, JWs are a cult!
"We *need to obey* the faithful and discreet slave to have Jehovah’s approval." Watchtower 2011 Jul 15 page24 Simplified English Edition
"At that time, the lifesaving direction that we receive from Jehovah’s organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint. *All of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not."* - Watchtower 2013 Nov 15 p.20
The only thing missing now is the koolaid!
Actually, JWs didn't study the Bible and decide that their top elders are who Jesus mentioned in Matthew. Their top elders told average JWs that "they" were Jesus' faithful & wise slave. Average JWs just accepted what these 8 men said. Accepted, never voted on, never discussed, never questioned, just accepted. Yes, JWs are a cult!
Unless they were sent from Baal..
I'd love to know what literature buddy left that woman mentioned at the end. :)
What ever happened to the warnings about Judge Not..?
Historical Fact. One of the Primary reasons for interest in JWs was them pointing out flaws in Christendom. Now they got enough history to have flaws themselves. Quit judging one another, the Way is is not about conflict.

To the people in this video: actually, your doctrine is not part of the core beliefs of Christianity, but rather a subset or sect of Christianity that believes in a triune god. It makes you sound, from your video, that you are part of a cult ....
The Trinity comes from the Bible. As to it being some "subset" tell me who did not believe in the Trinity for 2,000 years.
Mathew 16 : 18
The church cannot die.
Luke 1 : 33.
"...of his kingdom, there will be no end."
John 14 : through 26
Bur the Helper, Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in MY name,
will teach you all things and remind you of everything that I said."
John 14 : 16
"The helper will abide with you FOREVER."
Who were the "Christians" who did not believe in the Trinity for the last 2,000 years.
Before saying that they were hidden, read mathew 5 : 13 through 20.
A subset is something that is part of a group. Since all Christians believe in the Trinity, there is no subset.
We should be able to recognize who our Savior!!!
Exodus..6-3...the God of Abraham...
I think they mean well. I don't see any other religions doing this. Jesus did the same thing. I won't judge any of them.
But God will judge them unless they repent and believe in Christ alone for their salvation.

Brazilian Spiritualists or Kardecists have a similar view of God and Jesus as WJ, apart from believing in spirit immortality and reincarnation. Part of WJ's bible was indeed Pastor Johann Gruber's wife's psychographics.
"someone who rejects one or more of the Christian doctrines"...? What? Ha! So everyone in the world who isn't a Christian and even someone who isn't a your kind Christian is a cult? Oh, that's amazing. I can't wait to hear what gems you have next! 🤣
Thank you for mentioning this. It's incorrect at best and offensive at worst. If you want your religious views respected you have to respect the religious views of others. The time to stop that respecy is when:
1. someone tries to control what you believe
2. someone's beliefs causes them harm
3. someone's beliefs causes them to harm others
You completely misunderstood what hes trying to say. hes clearly talking about groups that proclaim to be "christian" but reject core doctrine of christianity. islam for example is not a cult because they dont claim to be christian, when they reject our beliefs.

The green Bible has added words...
Even a Christian cannot brush aside the worship of Jehovah as God. In Revelation 1:5 the Son of God called himself Jesus Christ, 'The Faithful Witness.'" When on earth as a man he was a Jew, an Israelite, to whose nation the words of Isaiah 43:10 was written: "'You are my witnesses, ' is the utterance of Jehovah, even my servant whom I have chosen.'" Jesus demonstrated that he a faithful and true witness of Jehovah God. His genuine disciples today must be the same kind of witnesses, Jehovah.
Please do not fabricate lies! No one is brushing aside the worship of Jehovah. You _cannot_ honor the Son without honoring the Father:
"Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him." (John 5:23)
By demoting Jesus to "a god" all you are doing is dishonoring the Father yourself!

There is where you'll the falseness, deception, mythology, astro-theology, Freemasonry, and occultism. You know the network behind this stuff and the Mammon protocol.
Hello. I am not a Jehovah witness I am a Christian. The Bible teaches that there is God , his voice (The Word/born as Jesus) And holy spirit his moving power you see all three of them in the first chapter of Genesis. The three are one. This is how Christians Understand the trinity
When Jesus was born the book of John says the the word became flesh God birthed a part of himself his voice into his son and placed a part of himself into Mary That’s why Jesus was divine and human but still a part of God.
The book of John says the word became flesh. That’s why Jesus said I can only say and do what I see my father do……Jesus was the word the voice of God born as flesh God was still in heaven. The Holy Spirit still existed with God but often would leave God in the old testament to visit the prophets…..and did the same with Jesus but when Jesus was baptized the Holy Spirit came and stayed in Jesus
Everything I am telling you is clearly in the Bible you need to read and study it….in the book of revelation it backs up what I’m saying when Jesus returns he has his Name printed on his phone read it it says the WORD.
Bye. Close 🚪
Heads exploded all across Christendom when the new world translation,in keeping with Greek grammar,inserted the indefinite article at John1:1c. There were even false claims that it was the only translation to render the verse thus. Jesus is not a God insisted opponents. Well here is my question. If Jesus is not a God how could he be JEHOVAH,whom the bible plainly declares to be a God.

o all of your colleague ex-Witnesses: The Christian Church was founded by Jesus Christ on the day of Pentecost (50 days after His Resurrection) when the Holy Spirit entered the Apostles and gave them the power to speak in tongues (not gibberish but in a way that is understood by all who listened to them). That Church has continued undergoing all kinds of trials and tribulations right through to this day unchanged and untarnished by heresies and erroneous proclamations. Priests who are Jews and now Christians testify to the fact that the Eastern Orthodox Church is the logical and true post-Messianic continuance of the Faith that Christ professed during His incarnated Life on earth. Christ told us that He is the Light, the Way and the Life and that He will be with us always. Does that not give the lie to a church that is 'founded'/'discovered' some eighteen hundred years after His Resurrection? Find the true Church near you and find out more about the Truth.

Bobby stop getting your so called facts wrong if you read the Proclaimers Book of the JWs on page 47 you can see for yourself Russell was convinced by Nelson H Barbour that Christ's invisible presents had begun in 1874 And on page 135 it was the belief that the Gentile times had ended and Armageddon would begin. Nothing was ever taught or believed that Christ's invisible returned was 1914. Not until the 1940s.
Yehovah, or more commonly Jehovah, is a combination of the vowels of the Hebrew word for God, namely “Eloah”, specifically e-o-a, and the four Hebrew consonants of God’s actual name Yod-Hey-Waw-Hey, transliterated into English as Y-H-W-H, artificially combined for the purpose of reminding the reader(s) in the synagogue not to pronounce the name, but say, “Adonai,” instead. Therefore, Jehovah is a composite, a name of fabrication, a concoction, which was never revealed by the God of the Bible, and not until the 17th century did this name exist in the English version of the Bible. The name of Iehovah, which later became Jehovah, was placed in the Bible by the auspices of men in high places within the Roman Catholic Church. This was done in ignorance due to the fact that the Catholic scholars, at the time, did not know of the practice by the Jews to place vowel points from other words, such as Eloah or Elohim onto the Tetragrammaton (four letters of God’s name) to remind the reader not to attempt to pronounce God’s actual name. Yehovah, Iehovah, or Jehovah was propagated since the 13th century (Iehova), and by the 17th century, it transformed into Jehovah.
Iehova can be traced back to a 13th century Spanish Dominican monk/scholar, who went by the name Raymundus Martini. He wrote this erroneous name Iehova in his book called “Pugio Fidei” around 1270 AD after he saw in the Hebrew Scriptures the vowel points placed onto the Tetragrammaton (four Hebrew Consonants that are in God’s actual name YHWH), and this despite every Hebrew word was written with consonants only, in other words, no vowels in Hebrew words.
The hybrid name Iehovah was propagated by the high-ranking Petrus Galatinus, his Latin name, confessor to Pope Leo X. He used the name Iehovah for the name of God in his book called: “De Arcanis Catholicae Veriatatis,” written in the year of 1518 AD. Again, this erroneous name, “Iehovah,” is from the combining of the Hebrew letters in God’s actual name with the vowels of Eloah, a Hebrew word for God. Again, due to the ignorance of these Catholic scholars of the Jewish practice of adding vowels from other words, for example, Eloah or Elohim, onto the Tetragrammaton, to remind the reader not to say the name of God. This was done by the Jews so that the Gentiles would not know the true name of God.
The Jews started this practice in the Middle Ages, or the Dark Ages, in other words in Medieval Times possibly starting the practice circa 1100 AD. Those that support the name Yehovah or Jehovah base their support evidence on that period of time known as the Middle Ages. The vowel points of Adonai added to the Tetragrammaton (YHWH) would produce the hybrid name of “YaHoWaiH, and the vowel points of Elohim would produce Yehovih (see Strong’s Dictionary of Hebrew Bible Words, #3069, p. 509, Thomas Nelson Publishers, 2001). Yehovah came from the vowels points of Eloah (meaning God, singular) producing this hybrid name (see Strong’s # 3068, p. 509). Jewish scholars admit to the Practice: “In the Early Middle Ages, when consonantal text of the Bible was supplied with vowel points to facilitate its correct traditional reading, the vowel points for Adonai with one variation - a sheva (short ‘e’ sound) with the first yod [Y] of YHWH instead of the hataf-patah (short ‘a’ sound) under the aleph of Adonai - was used for YHWH, thus producing the form YeHoWaH. When the Christian scholars of Europe first began to study Hebrew they did not understand what this really meant, and they introduced the hybrid name ‘Jehovah’” (Encyclopaedia Judaica, vol. 7, p. 680). These Profanations causing substitutions of God's actual name were done to hide the name of God from the Gentiles, as the Jews were fearful of them profaning the true name of God.
I FEEL SO SORRY YOU GUYS, EVEN IF Jehovahs witnesses predicted the coming of Jesus, have any of you ever read Habakkuk 2 verse 3 ? It says, " king James version, FOR THE VISION IS YET FOR AN APPOINTED TIME, FOR IT WILL COME THROUGH, EVEN IF IT SHOULD TARRY, OR DELAY, KEEP IN EXPECTATIONS OF IT, FOR IT WILL COME THROUGH. (EVEN IF IT DELAY). Doesn't the scriptures say that every eye shall see the son of man coming in all his glory, and the scriptures also say he shall come like a thief in the night? Does anyone see a thief when he comes in the night?
Doesn't the king James version say at Matthew 7 v 22 NOT ALL SAYING LORD, LORD, SHALL BE SAVED, and ROMANS 10 v 13 say ALL WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED???.??
I don't know what your first point is supposed to prove. But where does Matthew 7:22 say anything about the Jehovah's witnesses? Many different cults refer to that passage conveniently thinking that justifies them and condemns mainstream Christianity, which is totally false. If you look at the verse without reading Jehovah's witnesses into the text you will see that what it demonstrates is that these people _know_ the truth, but do not obey it. Disobedient people are found in all denominations.
