  Jehovah`s Witnesses , Seventh Day Adventists , Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints.

  These 3 are probably the more influenthal in the last 200 or so years ago.

  If membership is a sign of GOD`s blessing on who he favours then @ the year 2021.

  Jehovah`s Witnesses membership 8.5 Million

  Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saint`s membership.16.8 Million

  Seventh Day Adventist`s membership.21 Million

  If God was using any religious group on earth to spread his message in these last days , out of these 3 who do you think he would be supporting ?

  Or maybe you have another Group in mind ?

  Did God and Christ name any religion that They would be supporting in the Bible? Perhaps They forgot doing that...

  Jesus told the Samaritan woman that God is looking for those that worship him in spirit and Truth.

  I find it interesting that the Seventh Day Adventists and JWs are both offshoots of the Millerite Movement of the 1840s. CT Russell was a follower of William Miller and borrowed Miller's Adventist teachings. Research the "Big Disappointment" in regards to the Millerites and see if it sounds familiar.

  The fastest growing religion on Earth is Islam while Christianity is in steady decline. The fastest growing religion in the U.S. is "no religion". So, in the U.S. the No-God seems to have more sway than any other god.

  It strains credulity to put forth the idea that the same God who wishes for all to be saved is only going to save a fraction of a fraction* of humanity when he finally sorts things out.

  *Literally! Those three religions combined are around one-half of a percent of the current human population.

  The only reason the Cult of Islam is the fastest growing religion, is because they push having hoards of children, much like the Catholics used to do.

  A list of a couple of years back :

  Catholicism , 1.345 Billion members

  Protestant`s , 900 million to 1 Billion

  Anglicans , 110 million

  Jehovah`s Witnesses are way down on the list even the Mormons and the 7th Day Adventists far out number the 8.5 million Jehovah`s Witnesses.

  Especially the Catholics are most favoured because they have been around for centuries so GOD must be favouring them .

  The Mormons notoriously inflate their numbers. Scholars assessing dozens of census results concluded there are 8.6 million who self identify as Mormons compared with 17.5 million who self identify as Jehovah’s Witnesses, making Jehovah’s Witnesses more than twice as numerous as Mormons. In addition Mormons are far more geographically concentrated than JWs in a few regions such as Utah, South America, and certain pacific islands. (The same study found that there are 26.8 million who self identify as Adventists worldwide.)

  Who is God favouring? According to the Bible, Christians. But according to the scriptures, His people (Christians) are implicated/involved with an authority/system which they should not be, and they are warned to disassociate themselves from it: Rev. 17:1-5; 18:4

  Just one description/definition of Christendom: "The union between Christianity and secular power." (Diarmaid Ninian John MacCulloch, Professor of the History of the Church at the University of Oxford - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christendom)

  For over three decades of my involvement in the JW religion, I believed that it was the "truth", and that we were the only ones to be saved.

  Today, I still believe in God. Being somewhat housebound, I still worship the best I can, and regularly pray and read the Bible.

  I feel that nowwhat? posted, is what I believe. That God is looking for those that worship him in spirit and Truth. I truly believe that salvation will be on an individual basis. Not what religion/business corporation we belong to.
