  I have some questions about the Org.!

  by KerryKing in

  2. beliefs

  are any or all of the gb from jewish descent?.

  why are they so fascinated with following ancient jewish 'principles' ?.

  isa 43:10, 44:8 ' you are my witnesses ' which they based their religious identity on, jehovah's witnesses, yet those verses address the jews, not christians, which they profess to be.. jesus said in ac 1:8 'you will be witnesses of me ', .

  In order to understand what is going on with and within this group named Jws/WTS we should believe God and His word, He foreknew the things and has prophesied about it - it is part of "truth" ...

  It is named the Song of Moses , a prophecy which is understood (and sung) by the "conquers of the beast" - Rev.15:2,3.

  ~~~ Above everything guard your heart ! - Why? ~~~

  .

  Proverbs 4: 23

  Above everything else guard your heart,

  because from it flow the springs of life.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Mark 7 :

  18. And He said to them, “Are you also as lacking in understanding?

  Don’t you realize that nothing going into a man from the outside can defile him?

  19. For it doesn’t go into his heart but into the stomach and is eliminated.” (As a result, He made all foods clean.)

  20. Then He said, “What comes out of a person—that defiles him.

  21. For from within, out of people’s hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immoralities, thefts, murders,

  22. adulteries, greed, evil actions, deceit, promiscuity, stinginess, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness.

  23. All these evil things come from within and defile a person.”

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  1 Thessalonians 4 :

  2. For you know what commands we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

  3. For this is God’s will, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality,

  4. so that each of you knows how to control his own body in sanctification and honor,

  5. not with lustful desires, like the Gentiles who don’t know God.

  6. This means one must not transgress against and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger of all these offenses, as we also previously told and warned you.

  7. For God has not called us to impurity but to sanctification.

  8. Therefore, the person who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who also gives you His Holy Spirit.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Hebrews 10 :

  26. For if we sin deliberately

  >>> after receiving the knowledge of the truth,

  >>> there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

  27. but a fearful prospect of judgment, and a fury of fire which will consume the adversaries.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Hebrews 3: 12

  Watch out, brothers, so that there won’t be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart that departs from the living God.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  James 1: 21

  Therefore, ridding yourselves of all moral filth and evil,

  >>> humbly receive the implanted word, which is able to save you.

  =============================

  Questions for study:

  1) Why should a man guard his heart ?

  2) From what kind of heart do the evil things listed by Jesus come out?

  3) What is God's will for us?

  4) What does "holy" (holiness) mean in accordance with God's word?

  5) Is there still a "sacrifice for sins" if we sin willingly after receiving the knowledge of the truth?

  6) How can we obtain salvation?

  ==============================

  Please study God's Prophetic Word which foretells what is to happen within His people during the "latter days" :

  "At midnight, a people totters and perishes.
  The mighty perish, without the intervention of the hand of any man."
  Job 34:20
  .
  The expression 'at midnight' reminds us of JEHOVAH's action against the Egyptians in ancient times.
  Then He struck all the first-born of the Egyptians, including Pharaoh's first-born.
  Job was inspired to prophetically write these words that I quoted above, regarding an action that JEHOVAH would undertake in the end times. Not with regard to Satan, because he is not perishing now, but will only be bound,
  but with regard to the 'man of lawlessness' (Pharaoh), who is indeed destined to perish.
  And not only with regard to him, but also with regard to his people, which consists of all those who are faithful to him!
  This Pharaoh of our times is that 'mighty' that Job speaks of here, and of which the inspired Isaiah showed that he would be dispossessed of the prey he had taken, namely the "saints" (who were overcome by the "horn" !) Isaiah 49:25; Daniel 7:21.
  It should be remembered that these actions that lead to the loss of the 'strong one' and the 'people who waver' (Isaiah 19:14) take place without intervention, without "the intervention of any human hand".
  Presenting the identity of the "man of lawlessness" from another angle, JEHOVAH inspired the prophet Isaiah to write:
  "And the Assyrian shall fall slain by a sword, but not of a man:..." Isaiah 31:8.

  "With whom, then, will you compare God ?
  To what image will you liken him? ” Isaiah 40:18
  .
  Who are these questions addressed to ?
  Of course to all those inclined to idolatry, because people have always tended to use various forms of worship, in which they have made many gods.
  It is noteworthy that not only those who make a carved or cast face that they use in worship are to be condemned, but also those who, although they call JEHOVAH as their God, still ran after foreign gods.
  The doctrine that leads us to believe that only those who were God's people in ancient times were idolaters is totally wrong!
  Why?
  Because it is clearly shown in the Scriptures that in the last days idolatrous abominations would be worshiped! Daniel 9:27; Matthew 24:15.
  The Scriptures show that such things would happen to God's people in the last days, and it says, "There you will worship man-made gods." "When you are in distress and all these things have happened to you, then in later days...” (Deuteronomy 4:28a,30).
  Related to this, Scripture speaks of the fact that in the Temple would be set up in those times the "adversary", who would pretend to be God (that is, would raise claims to be the sole knower and holder of biblical truth)! 2 Thessalonians 2:4
  This intruder "would rise, glorify himself," above all gods, "and would prosper until a certain time" (Daniel 11:36), deceiving the inhabitants of the earth (Revelation 13:14). .
  Of course, many were drawn into the race to worship him and his organized system (the beast), becoming worshipers of the beast !
  So here it is with whom do some men compare God, they who condemn those who worship "the carved images, and the molten images" -literally!
  Are not they more guilty for resembling the "slave-class" with the One who did all things? Romans 1:22, 23.
  -- But by the way, are you sure that you do not compare Jehovah to anyone?

  spirit directed organization

  i was watching a video about wt and money and the "brother" refers to the "spirit directed organization.

  " he also says they use donations wisely and modestly.

  are the gb so deluded and therefore their followers?

  I recommend reading Isaiah 47. The word of God speaks here about the "daughter of Babylon", which is in our days the "organization" of Jws under the leadership of her "slave"(fds) leaded by de spirit of babylon ...
  See from Bible how God is addresing (speaking) to her ...

  let's read verse 12 ...

  “Persist now in your spells And in your many sorceries
  With which you have labored from your youth; Perhaps you will be able to benefit,
  Perhaps you may cause trembling."

  ----------

  “Persist, then, [daughter of Babylon] in your enchantments And your many sorceries

  With which you have labored from your youth; Perhaps you will be able to profit [from them],
  Perhaps you may prevail and cause trembling." ... Amplified B.

  -----------------

  We may see that God calls/names "SORCERIES" and enchantments all his changing "new" light and way of speaking .
