  “This generation will by no means pass away.”

  by Fisherman in

  for argument sake let’s assume that this verse should apply to 1914. what are your thoughts on generation?.

  I just think that they can revise a lot of their history to suit their purposes, but 1914 is the one they just can't let go.

  Yep. The reason is because if they abandon 1914, they also abandon:

  1. The Gentile Times ending in 1914

  2. The establishment of the Millennium Kingdom in 1914

  These are the two main rationales for rejecting the New Covenant at the Memorial.
  
  If the Gentile Times are still going on and if Jesus hasn't begun ruling as King, then the New Covenant is still available to "whosoever".
  
  The sole purpose for the existence of the WT is to get people to willingly reject this covenant "for the forgiveness of sins" (Mt. 26: 27-28).
  
  Getting rid of 1914 would put their purpose in jeopardy. They will never abandon 1914 because they will NEVER open up the New Covenant to everyone.

  The Genesis 3:15 woman.

  by Fisherman in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  genesis 3:15 says that the woman’s seed would be in enmity with the serpent’s seed.

  although the bible reveals that the woman’s seed is jesus and christians that go to heaven with christ, it does not identify the woman directly.

  we at jw believe that the woman is symbolic.

  The woman mentioned in Genesis 3:15 is Eve. The serpent, addressed directly, is the animal that Satan used to deceive the woman. Some of the curse was directed at the animal (verse 14); at the same time, the curse of God falls upon Satan, who had taken the serpent’s form or body in Eden (cf. the dragon in Revelation 12:9)..... "THAT OLD SERPENT" (Rev. 20:2)
  
  As part of the curse, enmity—mutual hatred and ill will—will exist between the woman and the serpent. Later, the same enmity will continue between the woman’s seed or offspring (mankind in general, since Eve is the “mother of all living,” Genesis 3:20) and the serpent’s seed. Their offspring will remain enemies throughout all generations. The serpent’s (metaphorical) offspring are demonic forces and also those people who follow the devil and accomplish his will.

  Jesus called the Pharisees a “brood of vipers” in Matthew 12:34 and said they belonged to their “father, the devil” in John 8:44. In short, God says that Satan will always be the enemy of mankind. It follows that people who side with Satan will be at perpetual war with God’s elect and that we are engaged in a very real battle between good and evil (Ephesians 6:12).

  Men normally have the "seed". In Jesus' case, he is the only person born from the "seed of the the woman", since there was no male contributor of DNA.

  What do the FREEMASONS really know about JEHOVAH

  by raymond frantz in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  https://youtu.be/2nc7twdw_9sfreemasons including charles taze russell knew for a fact jehovah is not god's name ,they knew that jehovah is just an amalgamation of vowels of adonai and the consonants of the tetragramaton.

  it was common knowledge amongst freemasons prior to 1871 that not only jehovah is not god's name but it was created for the sole purpose of stopping people pronouncing god's real name.i will let that sink in for a moment.

  being in full knowledge of these facts makes you think what russell's true intentions were for creating jehovah's witnesses as a religion in the first place because as sure as hell it was not for promoting the divine name.many have tried to make the case over the years the russell was not a mason or if he was he was very poorly educated in the masonic doctrines but this is not the case , in fact if you spend some time reading his writings you realise that the exact opposite is true.he was so thoroughly versed in freemasonry that he was trying to create a cross bread between christianity and freemasonry, and thats what i think his true intentions were to take freemasonry to its next level of infiltration of the christian faith, he was an apostate for the freemasons but russell saw himself as the next albert pike,unfortunately that didn't work out for him and he ultimately paid the price...read the rest herehttps://tevangelinos.wixsite.com/jwupdates/post/what-do-freemasons-really-know-about-jehovah

  I guess the imminently astute and learned scholars of the KJV were in on the hoax too.

  I hear there will be a gathering in heaven that the GB will attend called Divine Judgement. Not sure how many days it will last.

  I got the J & J jab about 9 months ago. Last week I came down with a pretty nasty case of Covid. 104 degree fever , body aches etc. No respitory issues to speak of. I got the antibody treatment within 3 days of symptoms and started to improve immediately.
  
  I don't know what to think of the "vaccines".

  I used to secretly listen to his dad occasionally when I was a JW kid growing up in Houston. I liked his Dad.
  
  Joel is great for motivation. If you are doing sales grind all day, and if you are a believer, Joel is gold. But, you won't get much theology. He draws pretty sharp criticism from most conservative churches.

  Wrong Religion

  2. beliefs

  we brainstormed a while back on this forum and pooled our knowledge on how to recognize false religion.

  i think the list is worth reviewing and adding to if possible.

  please feel free to correct and or add insights of your own to this list:.

  Fortunately, the apostles made it easy for future generations of Christians to determine error:

  Galatians 1:8-9
  But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
  As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

  Anyone who claims to have new light or any other belief that the apostles didn't clearly teach is cursed.

  Pretty simple. I like simple things.

  Jesus is Michael the Archangel

  by Fisherman in

  2. beliefs

  only jesus has the power and authority to defeat satan and kick him out of heaven:.

  “now have come to pass the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our god and the authority of his christ, because the accuser of our brothers has been hurled down, who accuses them day and night before our god.”.

  Myelaine,

  Most people are aware of Messianic Jews. If you are a Christian, you could go to one of their services and feel right at home. Jews around the world are accepting Christ in surprising umbers. Muslims are as well btw.
  
  However, there is another group of Jews who accept Christ as Messiah who advocate a number of errors. This second group is called the Hebrew Roots movement. They are not monolithic but accept or reject varying aspects of orthodoxy.
  
  The biggest difference between Messianic Jews and the Hebrew Root advocates / movement. is their understanding on how the Law relates to Gentiles, but also how it relates to believers in general. This movement predates Christianity as Dr. Johnson explains below in this brief & candid discussion.
