It is quite remarkable that the JWs taught such an important doctrine without any Bible verse saying so. No verse says that the billions would be raised for a trial in the millenium. I suspect Revelation 20 is very misunderstood and taken too literally like old testament prophecy.

The Last Day
by johnamos in[7-1-98 wt – martha said of her dead brother, lazarus: “i know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.” (john 11:24) how did she know that?
…she might even have learned this from jesus himself.
(john 6:39 - this is the will of him who sent me, that i should lose none out of all those whom he has given me, but that i should resurrect them on the last day.

smiddy3,
The context of Romans 6 is the ressurection to immortality. In the peculiar JW understanding, I think it only refers to the 144.000. I dont believe that but in any case, the people raised in the old or new testament were merely revived in their mortal state.

Genesis 18:27
by JPG123 inin genesis 18:27 it says:.
but abraham again responded: “please, here i have presumed to speak to jehovah, whereas i am dust and ashes.. but when referencing the interlinear translation of the old testament, it clearly uses the hebrew word “adonai” instead of “yahweh” in this verse.
was abraham referring to god as “lord” in this verse?.

Yes being called Lord does not in itself make Jesus God. Remember Acts 2:36 God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah
Not even being called El or Elohim makes someone YHWH. Forinstance Ezekiel 31:11 and Psalm 45:6-7. Still of course there is much evidence for Jesus being God incarnate and nothing that explicitely teaches the JW doctrine about Jesus.

redvip2000,
true if you hate your country and the West and want it destroyed, vote Democrat, which in Europe would be similar to the marxist and "moderate" parties.

Actually, Romans 11:25-27 suggests they will be regathered at the end as the conclusion upon the restoration. But it surely does not speak about Zionist Christ rejecting rogue state created in 1948 who is pretty mean to the muslims, although we dont like them either

I dont know US story going back to the beginning, but he seems like the most senile president ever. Clearly he has a host of people behind the scene helping him get dressed, giving him milk and cookies and telling him what to say to the press. These days people truly get what they are asking for .

It reminds me of a family story. My grandmother, an old frail mean lady with a hard life behind her, was taken to some Bethel building and she was furious of all the luxury and comforts considering Armegeddon was right around the corner

They should protest peacefully and also warm the US people about communism, a cancer to the body of any country.
