  Isn’t JW’s teaching of “the abomination that causes desolation” wrong?

  by Abraham1 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  what “the abomination that causes desolation” mentioned in mathew 24:15 means could be understood only by close followers of jesus because it was part of his personal discussion with them.

  by stopping to greet those whom they consider as “their enemies” jws are identifying themselves as “pagans,” according to jesus.

  (mathew 5:43-48) thus they cannot correctly understand what the abomination that causes desolation” that would appear as part of signs of “last days.”.

  The cross may be an abomination to JWs, but not to God.

  A torture device that is also an idol.

  The "Trinity" is not Biblical.

  simple.. you cannot find the word there (or many of the comical variations such as: a triune godhead, the triunity, co-equal god beings, godhead, a hypostaic union, divine essences, divine natures, a god-the-son, a god-the-ghost, hypostasis, homoousios, perichoresis , a godman, omnipresence, incarnation, a god who is a sacred mystery, a god 'in three persons', dual natures, a reincarnate god, a first person of the trinity, a second person of the trinity, a third person of the trinity, godness, a tri-unity or a multipersonal god), or any of the so-mentioned aspects.. jehovah identified himself (not 'themselves") as on one god, as did jesus and all the prophets.

  .

  so, come, let us know of the simple twists of the clergy!.

  Why won't god heal amputees?

  For the same reason God allows wicked ess. According to the Bible, at some point in time God will act to resurrect the dead and heal the sick, etc.

  God not taking action now does not debunk Jesus’s miracles.

  People don't want to let go of error because it is embarrassing.

  “A Revelation of Jesus Christ that God gave him. “ God and the resurrected and glorified Jesus are 2 different entities according to this verse

  99.9% Christianity accepts the trinity. I wonder why?

  Because 99.9% are equivocating.

  The Deity of Jesus Christ

  fair warning, i am not a jehovah's witness believer, but i am curious about what it is you believe and why you believe it.

  so i am interested in talking to you instead of reading about you from my own christian perspective.

  after all, who understands what jehovah's witness believes better than a jehovah's witness?

  who did Christ say was the ONLY true God?

  “All authority has been given” to Jesus by God. Even prayer is in Jesus’s name because Jesus answers prayer because he is the Messiah having all authority. For example, when someone that is blind prays to God for sight, it is Jesus with God’s Holy Spirit as if having power of attorney sort of speak that restores the sight. It is a waste of time to show people that believe in the Trinity that Jesus and God are 2 separate entities. The evidence and argument and position are there. Take it or leave it. The case is at rest.

  Earnest, do we have the same nature as God too? Or is Jesus special in this case?

  Humans do not have the same nature as spirits —or God for that matter. As JW see it, Jesus was the firstborn of all creation, that is to say that Jesus is a creature, a separate entity than God but who is like God. But even Jesus in all his glory is not like God. Who is like God? Nobody. Not even Jesus.
  

  It is axiomatic that Jesus and YHWH are 2 separate and distinct entities. You need to be able to understand this on your own.

  The Interior Bulletins!

  by Atlantis in

  in september 1959, anne and i were invited to serve at bethel in paris, france, where i was assigned to take the lead in printing.

  up until the time of our arrival in january 1960, printing had been done by a commercial firm.

  since the watchtower was then banned in france, we printed the magazine each month in the form of a 64-page booklet.

  What is the backstory on this?

  The backstory is always a competitor religion with clout such as the RCC.

  Christ comes as a thief in the night, & it is not for us to know the times & seasons which God hath put into his own breast.

  What does that mean? —If 1260 can be used to set limits or to calculate/ know the time or see son when Christ comes,

  The teaching that the Millennium will end with the closing of the 7th creative day has not been changed by the WT . “God’s rest day will continue until his purpose in connection with it has been fully realized at the end of Christ’s Thousand Year Reign.” WT July 15, 2011
