unfortunately for the revisionists, its too late.
we already have all the information we need. a face-lift means nothing.
I am not sure who is being referred to as "the revisionists"; Rutherford certainly did a lot of revision of what actually happened in the days of Russell and afterwards. I haven't been able to keep up as well with the JW publications since they quit providing home subscriptions, but as far as I can tell, their writers still distort history, and would revise history to fit their "organization" perspective.
Russell was not within the 33 degrees: HE WAS HIGHER.
Russell, of course, not being a Mason at all, and if he was a son of God as I believe he was, was indeed higher in degree than any degree of the Masons. However, the thought that Russell was a Mason is another example of those who wish revise history, since Russell was never a member of the Masons at all.
so please don't spam for that lot.
Not sure what "that lot" refers to.
it's over...every dark corner is going to have the light shine on it, and those who are known of Jesus Christ know FULL WELL His Kingdom is not of this world.
This I agree with. God bless. This present corrupted world will pass away, and God's kingdom can then fill the earth, and every corner of the earth will eventually have the light of God's glory shining in it. -- Isaiah 2:4-5; 6:3; 11:9; 40:5; Daniel 2:35,44; Habakkuk 2:14.
Eventually, every Hindu that has ever lived, every Muslim that has ever lived, every pagan that has ever lived, absolutely every man, woman, child, baby, etc., that has descended from Adam will have been enlightened. No one will be condemned to the second death without first being enlightened with an accurate knowledge of truth so that they will have been given full opportunity, based on that full knowledge, to obey or disobey; it is only after one has been enlightened with a full knowledge of the truth, that if that person, after becoming a son of God, willfully sins, there is no more sacrifice for sin left (Hebrews 10:26); such a person, having become a new creation, and then willfully tramples upon Christ (Hebrews 10:29), does not go back under the condemnation in Adam, since all in Adam are redeemed. (1 Corinthians 15:21,22; Romans 5:12-19; 1 Timothy 2:5,6) They come under a new condemnation, the second death, for which there is no redemption.
Yes, God's kingdom is not of this word that has come under a bondage of corruption through the sin of Adam. Jesus was born into this world, but he was not of this world. His body was specially prepared by God (Hebrews 10:5); thus he was not of this world that has been corrupted through the sin of Adam. -- Romans 5:12-19; 8:20-22; 2 Peter 1:4.
Likewise, those who become sons of God through regeneration in this age, are sons because they are a new creation, reckoned as belonging to the age to come (Hebrews 6:5), when the present world will have passed away. (2 Corinthians 5:17; Revelation 21:1-5) As new creatures in Christ, they are not of this world; their new birth is not as a descendant of Adam who sinned. It is these, however, who are being selected out of the world in this age, who are, with Jesus, the seed of Abraham that will bless all the heathen in the age to come, when God's kingdom fills the earth, when the earth will no longer be hindered by the blinding influence of Satan. -- Galatians 3:26,29; Genesis 22:18; Revelation 20:3.
