What scriptures will you NEVER hear a Witness use? (page 4)

Abandoned

Maybe the topic should be "What scriptures will you NEVER hear a Witness APPLY properly?"

That's too easy - ALL OF THEM. :-D

The one thatran through my head until I finally woke up was........

Jesus's deciples asked him, "how will we know they are your deciples?"

He replied " If they have LOVE among them"

It seems to me that they like to use only the begining of Romans 6:23 in this way- 'The wages of sin is death' but they leave off the rest of it, '

23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in [a] Christ Jesus our Lord.

2 Cor. 12..v 11 I have become unreasonable. You compelled me to, for I did not prove to be inferior to your suparfine apostles in a single thing, even if I am nothing.

I have to boast. It is not beneficial; but I shall pass on to supernatural visions and revelations of [the] Lord. I know a man in union with Christ who, fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know; God knows—was caught away as such to the third heaven. Yes, I know such a man—whether in the body or apart from the body, I do not know, God knows—that he was caught away into paradise and heard unutterable words which it is not lawful for a man to speak. Over such a man I will boast, but I will not boast over myself, except as respects [my] weaknesses. For if I ever do want to boast, I shall not be unreasonable, for I shall say the truth. But I abstain, in order that no one should put to my credit more than what he sees I am or he hears from me, just because of the excess of the revelations.

Paradise on Earth? Not according to the Bible. The Bible never uses the word "paradise" to refer to earth.

Galatians 1:6-9

I marvel that YOU are being so quickly removed from the One who called YOU with Christ’s undeserved kindness over to another sort of good news. But it is not another; only there are certain ones who are causing YOU trouble and wanting to pervert the good news about the Christ. However, even if we or an angel out of heaven were to declare to YOU as good news something beyond what we declared to YOU as good news, let him be accursed. As we have said above, I also now say again, Whoever it is that is declaring to YOU as good news something beyond what YOU accepted, let him be accursed.

Even an "inspired" apostle appointed by Jesus or an angel out of heaven has no authority to bring "new light." On what authority does an admittedly uninspired group of humans presume to do so?

1 Timothy 5:20

Reprove before all onlookers persons who practice sin, that the rest also may have fear.

Why do Jehovah's Witnesses privately reprove wrongdoers and prevent any outside the committee from knowing what the sin was?

Acts 16:30-34

And he brought them outside and said: "Sirs, what must I do to get saved?" They said: "Believe on the Lord Jesus and you will get saved, you and your household." And they spoke the word of Jehovah to him together with all those in his house. And he took them along in that hour of the night and bathed their stripes; and, one and all, he and his were baptized without delay. And he brought them into his house and set a table before them, and he rejoiced greatly with all his household now that he had believed God.

An atheist was baptized without delay after one conversation with Paul and Silas; no meetings, no lengthy study, no demonstrated changes in life, no ministry, no question and answer sessions, no prayer of dedication. Why do Jehovah's Witness have so many requirements for baptism?

I've started to see some Bible verses in a different light since leaving the dubs, one example:

ECCLESIASTES 12:12

As regards anything besides these, my son, take a warning: To the making of many books there is no end, and much devotion [to them] is wearisome to the flesh.

I now see this applies to the Witnoids, not as they apply it to all other literature - of which they are happy to quote in their publications!

John 5:22,23

Acts 1:7,8

vs.7 NWT cross reference "seasons", and in verse 8 who are we to be witnesses of.

AS, this also flies in the face of the JW assertion that Jehovah does not listen to someone's prayer if such a person doesn't have an ongoing record of performing all the "right" works. How much of a "works portfolio" did this atheist have a chance to build up before becoming baptized, which obviously involved communication with God?

Anyway, here's my contribution:

John 2:19-22: Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days." The Jews replied, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?" But the temple he had spoken of was his body. After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the Scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.
