  Did You Fully Buy the WT View of Romans 6:7 (Acquitted of Sin by Dying) ?

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  romans chapter 6 is about saying goodbye to the old personality, the old man in the king james version.

  the old personality must die, he cannot be fixed.

  the old personality is characterized by dominance of the flesh.

  VH 7 These might be useful. They're admitting they have to take the teaching out of context for a "broad application".

  The problem is stated back in chapter 5 along with the solution. The problem is not primarily behavior.

  

  Verse 6 explains verse 7

  Do Jehovah`s Witnesses believe the 1,000 reign of Christ Jesus began in 1914 ?

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if not ,why do they claim he took up his power to reign as king in 1914 ?

  do they claim that ?

  or is it that he has only returned awaiting for god to give the throne to him.?.

  In this article from 1969 they reference several verses from Rev. mainly Rev.20:4-6

  Verse 6 says "they will rule as kings with him for the 1,000 years"

  How can this not be the millennium started in 1914?

  Hi gttm, I was never a JW so all I know is what I read. I scanned a little of your posting history.

  I'm sure you already know more then me about the org. besides JWFACT etc but here is a modest suggestion.

  It's a religious approach. Just so you know, I am a christian, not much of one but that another story.

  All Christians believe the gist of Genesis 3 is what got us in trouble so have her rehearse the story.

  Ask if Adam / Eve could enter/ renter the "Earthly Paradise" as sinners.

  Ask her if she is a sinner equal to Adam. How can any sin enter the Earthly Paradise?

  Well you found these on JW.ORG

  *** w74 2/1 p. 96 Questions From Readers ***

  Jehovah God, on the basis of his Son’s sacrifice, “declares them righteous” and thus views them as being perfect, without sin, while yet in the flesh on earth

  *** w72 9/1 p. 518 A Death That Brings Gain ***At their death they likewise do not die as sinners
  Obviously she will say that only for the anointed but what if we are all still equal to Adam just like the org. says.There is a way for a sinner to not be a sinner and enter paradise, just saying.

  i was never a jw but i lurk in this forum occasionally, trying to rescue some family.

  i will spare you those details.. jw.org and jwfacts are there with youtubes out the wazoo but i would appreciate your thought on this.. i know there are contradictions plenty but this is foundational, blatant and current.

  i know they typically just blow off.

  longlivetherenegades you said "the Bible says the Master appoints the slave when he leaves . . ."

  Are you referring to Matt. 24:45? I understand but please elaborate. Tks for your question.

  And tks for everyone's help.
