Hello brothers and sisters.

Please join me in praying for the many deceived Jehovah's Witnesses. Yesterday they celebrated their 'memorial' to the death of Christ Jesus. This is a huge celebration for the Witnessess and many people gather together to celebrate it. In this celebration they read scripture that supposedly supports their twisted doctrines, ie, only 1440000 people will enter heaven and they pass around bread and wine, but do not partake of it, symbolically rejecting Christ. I have friends in the Witnessess and it saddens me to think they are part of this blasphemy.

We bring them to you now Father. We ask that you will call your own out of this false religion, put an end to these heresies and use them for your glory. May they find rest, compassion and spiritual nourishment in you The Way, The Truth and The Life. In Jesus holy, blessed name, Amen.

So, holy scripture has deceived them?

Isn't that because in the Bible Jesus told them to keep doing this in remeberance of Him?. Luke 22:19.

only 1440000 people will enter heaven.
I'm sure JW's say that these ones will rule with Christ as part of the heavenly government that will rule over mankind on the earth or the meek that will inherit the earth after the great tribulation?

We bring them to you now Father. We ask that you will call your own out of this false religion.
What is true religion?

"Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, {and} to keep himself unspotted from the world."

Kedge, thank you you for your post.

JW's use a corrupt translation of the scriptures called The New World Translation. It's not that scripture has deceived them but that their teachers have twisted scripture to support their doctrines.

Jesus did indeed tell us the partake of the Lord's table in remembrance of Him. The JW's interpretation of this is as heretical as the Roman Catholic Eucarist. By passing the bread and wine around they are symbolically rejecting Christs sacrifice for us- they beleive Jesus is an angel, not God incarnate.

Scripture is clear that all who beleive wiil enter heaven to be with christ. As born again beleivers we become a new creation and are called adopted sons and daughters of the Most High. We are the elect, not some elite group of 'good people'

And finally, true religion is found in Christ.


[h=1]John 10:27New King James Version (NKJV)[/h]27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.


[h=1]Romans 8:16New King James Version (NKJV)[/h]16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,


[h=3]Galatians 1:8 (NKJV) | In Context | Whole Chapter[/h]
8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.

Out of interest Kedge, what is your faith?

Becuse of Christ,

Amanda

Not what I want it to mean, but what the Bible want it to mean, it explain itself.

"Prove all things; hold fast that which is good."


1 Tessalonicenses 5:21

"Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me."


John 5:39

Kedge, thank you you for your post.
Thank you Amanda for your thank you, i reply in love and peace, that's all i have really and i like to be fair where i think it is relevant to be fair, i defend where i think a defense is called for, impartial is I. I'm nobody, perhaps somebody, a fair player if you will.

JW's use a corrupt translation of the scriptures called The New World Translation. It's not that scripture has deceived them but that their teachers have twisted scripture to support their doctrines.
Well to be fair this is said by many against many. I'm not a JW but i do take note of the body of the organization of JW's, i read what they have to say on many different matters pertaining to the Holy Scriptures. A lot of quoted scripture from JW's can be found in many translations of the Holy Bible, so if the NWT Bible has been erroneously translated by the translation committee they used then the same can be said for other and even earlier biblical translation committees.

Jesus did indeed tell us the partake of the Lord's table in remembrance of Him.
But those that Jesus spoke to at that time are they a part of the 144 thousand chosen from mankind?


they beleive Jesus is an angel, not God incarnate.
From what i read at their website they beleive Jesus is a god, that he is also the Son of God, they say that Jehovah is the Almighty one true God and Jesus Christ is His only begotten Son, Jesus was God's first in creation. I may have gotten this wrong but all of it can be supported by most bibles. I guess it is the individual or groups that interpret through holy spirit what they believe to be scripturally sound based doctrines?.

Scripture is clear that all who beleive will enter heaven to be with christ.
Well then i have a massive problem here because although i fully respect God's authority and that of the Christ i don't necessarily want to be in heaven, i like planet earth and i believe God created this earth to be fully used by humans as a purposeful and peaceful home, but something has gone very wrong.



true religion is found in Christ.
But many say they have found Christ.




Out of interest Kedge, what is your faith?
What is faith?, i belong to no religious organization, or i might say i'm not an affiliated member of any church or denomination. I believe in God because of Intelligent Design found in nature and what i infer as design in the universe and of its celestial bodies therein. Design demands a designer and so i believe that God is that supreme designer. I accept the Christ, i believe Jesus Christ walked amongst sinners on this earth.
