  Hands up those who fear Jehovah

  by dreamer in

  this in response to logical's post 'hands up those who love jehovah' it was an interesting question, but i feel that my 'response' is more suited to another topic.

  i think that one should refer to the bible to answer it though:.

  exodus 12:29. jehovah kills all the firstborn of egypt.

  Dreamer,

  The Bible contains REAL events, those things REALLY happened.

  For example, Jehovah killed all of Pharoahs first born, because he refused to let Jehovah's people out of bondage. He had to resort to death, because every after every other plague Pharoah failed to release Israel.

  This, amongst many other examples, show the seriousness of rivalling and ridiculing Jehovah. These are examples to show what WILL happen to people who do this.

  The Bible is a LOT more than just a book.

  God and Israel survey

  2. friends

  i think it would be interesting to know whether or not you believe that the jews recovery of their homeland (israel) in the 20th century had anything to do with god?

  qualify your answer if you care to.. zechariah

  Hi Zechariah and RR

  Who really is "Israel" of our day? Is it the Christian congregation, or is it indeed physical Israel.

  Revelation 7 talks of "a great crowd, which no man was able to number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues" (Verse 9). In verse 13-17, John is told who they are and where they worship. Verse 15 contains the key to identifying who they really are.

  Revelation 17:15 (KJV - im using this as I dont have access to a Kingdom Interlinear):
  Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.

  Greek word for "temple" in Rev 17:15 = "naos"

  Lexicon for Strong's number 3485 says the following about this Greek word "naos":
  

  3485 naos {nah-os'}

  from a primary naio (to dwell); TDNT - 4:880,625; n m

  AV - temple 45, a shrine 1; 46

  1) used of the temple at Jerusalem, but only of the sacred edifice
  (or sanctuary) itself, consisting of the Holy place and the Holy
  of Holies (in classical Greek it is used of the sanctuary or cell
  of the temple, where the image of gold was placed which is
  distinguished from the whole enclosure)
  2) any heathen temple or shrine
  3) metaph. the spiritual temple consisting of the saints of all ages
  joined together by and in Christ

  Also, Vine's Expository Dictionary Of New Testament Words says:
  

  among the Jews, the sanctuary in the "Temple," into which only the priests could lawfully enter, e.g., Luk 1:9,21,22; Christ, as being of the tribe of Judah, and thus not being a priest while upon the earth

  So the Bible tells us that this "great crowd" who render service in the temple (Gr "naos") are made up of "nations (footnote NWT, "Gentiles") and tribes and peoples and tongues". Only Jews can serve in this part of the Temple, the Gentiles cannot.

  The Jews rejected the Messiah, Jesus Christ, and were replaced with a people bearing fruits, from the Gentiles, who became "Spiritual Israelites". (Acts 15:14-17)Only a "remnant" of the Jews responded. These Christians are "Spiritual Israelites", and in our day, they are the Jehovah's Witnesses. (Yes I know they are not living up to their name now, but this is another topic)

  (Please correct me if I am wrong, im a beginner at all this)

  Even more reason to love Jehovah then.

  Im sure all these deaths were last resorts and just.

  Considering He MADE us, He can do what He likes with us, and death is sometimes the only way to get a point accross to stubborn unrepentant humans.

  Cricket,

  The main forum is mostly a bit of everything, heavily leaning toward inactive / ex-JW / anti-WTS

  The best place is the rarely-used "Bible Research" forum

  Hmmm... makes me wonder whether he has some.

  I was quite shocked when he said that (this was when I thought they had the "truth")

  Briefly

  True:
  1) - Only ONE God, Jehovah
  2) - See 1)
  3) Yep
  5) Jesus was a spirit being before he was sent to earth, then he was a normal man, but perfect, and he could have died just like anyone else had he chose to be bad and not do Jah's will. Jesus is NOT God Almighty
  9) Yep thats right
  11) It is for worship purposes, and stuff

  False:
  7) NO!!! False Prophecy uttered by the WTS!
  8) NO!!!
  10) Long story...

  Not sure
  4) Not really had chance to research this...
  6) Ditto
