Almighty God, Jehovah, is in charge of a wonderful universe...a place of His creation...and He knows what makes it tick.

13,14 (b) What mistake did the sons of Sceva make, and how do many in Christendom today err in a similar way? Acts 19:14 (KJ) "And there were seven sons of one Sceva, *a Jew, and chief of the priests,* which did so". *The sons of the Jewish high priest* decided to cast out demons in the name of Christ and Paul. And they did not try to cast out demons on their own behalf, but informed everyone that in the name of Christ, whom Paul preaches, we are casting out (Acts 14:13) The authors write: "This was a resounding victory for “the word of Jehovah,” as the contrast between the power given to Paul and the powerlessness of *those false religionists could not have been plainer."* It should be noted that Judaism, to which the sons of Sceva also belonged, is not a false religion, but a religion given by Jehovah (the Temple stood in Jerusalem until 70 year). And *by that time, God's people were already divided* into those who accepted the Messiah and those who rejected him. But even among the People of Jehovah there were those who performed magical deeds by the power of demons, which was what the sons of Sceva were doing (by the 1st century, the people of God had already penetrated the teachings of Hellenism, superstition, magic, idolatry, hypocrisy, etc.). And, behold, these Jews even began to cast out demons in the name of Christ, like Paul, the very demons whose power they also used. So they got it for imposture from the demons themselves (the demons respected themselves: where would it go if the apostle of Christ casts them out by the power of God, but when their own demonic brethren try to hide behind the magical name of Paul in their understanding and persecute their own... ). The authors write: "There are millions today who wrongly assume that simply calling on the name of Jesus or labeling oneself “Christian” is enough." It should be noted that the constant disparagement of other faiths (this is also mentioned in the question to the paragraph itself), self-praise and ostentatious deeds are not from Jehovah (after all, the Pharisees of the 1st century did the same thing, who were both industrious and zealous in service, "compassing sea and land to make one proselyte" - Matt.23:15). Next, the authors cite the correct text of Matthew 7:21-23. Yes, recognizing Christ as Lord is not a reliable sign that someone who recognizes Christ is certainly a servant of God. Although the deeds of many will look useful, but Jesus will say about such that in fact they committed iniquities ... . When will this happen? When Christ divides all the inhabitants of the earth into sheep and goats - before Armageddon (see Mat. 25:41-46). *Matthew 25:44,45* (KJ) 44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, *when saw we thee* an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. Today, the Governing Body also distorts the understanding of this parable, as well as the parables about "sleeping virgins" and "talents" (see WT September 2024, article "Are You Heeding the Warnings?") They explain that those who participate with them in the work of preaching, building Kingdom halls, participating in meetings of the assembly, etc., will be announced the righteous, and they will have the opportunity to live forever on earth. *Is it so? No!* Why? Because in the parable, the sheep respond that by doing good deeds to the servants of God, *they had no idea that they were helping Christ* (they thought they were helping to those in need). But Jehovah's servants *KNOW* that by supporting the anointed ones, they support Jesus (Mat. 25:39,40). *This means that Christ will consider not only thems as sheep,* but also many God-fearing people who treat the Bible well, the servants of Jehovah, and who have good deeds a heart that encourages them to help others. *Goats, on the contrary, will be sure that they serve Christ* and will even be outraged, they say, when did it happen that we did not serve you? (Mat. 25:44). These include, for example, those who resist Jehovah or those of His servants who acted incorrectly and were thrown out of Jehovah's "net" to the rest of the "goats" (read Mat.7:21-23 and 13:47-50 again). Among them may be the anointed ones and other sheep (read Mat.24:48-51 - the understanding of this text is also distorted by the Governing Body). Among them may be those elders who create unfair judgments in meetings, hiding behind imperfections, alas (an article from the WT will be dealt with over the weekend, where the GB, hiding behind imperfections, tries to expose all kinds of injustice in assemblies as the NORM - Micah 7:1-4)
I pray and hope the word imperfection as not meaning immunity is clarified. For me am here because Jesus invited me to the harvest work and to be a good example and Father to my kids. I agree with accountability for Leadership like Moses was accountable . Preaching is the work given to all of us irrespective of Leadership position.
❤❤❤❤Thanks for the Bible teachings and your dedication for Jehovah's people around the world who appreciated your efforts 😂😂
Thank you dear brothers! Jehovah deserves all the honor!
Almighty God, Jehovah, is in charge of a wonderful universe...a place of His creation...and He knows what makes it tick. He has laid it out before us and its pinnacle is the life, death, and resurrection of His Son, Jesus Christ. Those that follow Jesus, to the letter, are participating in that knowledge which breeds the innocence and naivity that good health requires. The science is so very profound and much needed as we enter the last days...but let Jesus lead us through them using his statement of utmost value which is...'lift up your heads, for your redemption draws near'.
