  The Sufficiency of Christ - Salvation

  by JW Answers in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  can we rely solely on christ and his sacrifice for our sins to be forgiven, or do we have to attribute our own works upon his finished work?

  this video gives an explanation of the sacrifices made for israel under the law and what it meant at that time, and the sacrifice which christ made for ourselves under the age of grace today.

  If God is so loving, he should just FORGIVE without having to perform some barbaric blood-lust activity!

  So Sophia is told NOT to seek the praise of people for being successful at using her "god given brain", but is told to picture the heavenly throngs all praising her??

  So, it is encouraging a self-centered view! It distorts JW kids minds to think that the heavenly throngs are focussed on THEM PERSONALLY! How conceited and selfish!

  I had the same thoughts Listener!

  For a video aimed at children, those parts were confusing.

  What happened to the "New World Order"?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so as a child and youth growing up as a witness, (i'm 43 now) we often heard the expression "new world order".. the society just doesnt use that expression anymore.

  so what was the reasoning behind them amending that expression?.

  Great reply Anders.

  Yes, I too have heard the expression used by conspiracy nuts nowdays...so I find it funny that JWs used to use the term so often!

  Appalling!

  The more media exposure the cult gets, the better!

  Of course, JWs will not read or believe such reports, as they are "satanic lies", but at least more people from the community will be warned against their smooth speech when they come a-knocking!

  Yes, as steve2 said "by their fruits you will recognize them!"

  A gem from the new school book

  by Anders Andersen in

  use sources properly.

  apply scriptures in harmony with their context, the bible’s overall message, and the publications of “the faithful and discreet slave.” (matt.

  in other words, if you happen to discover how our doctrines are contradicted by the bible, don't use those verses.. use secular sources in accord with the original context and the intent of the writer.. .
