for those who still believe in jesus and his purpose and in a god who is creator.

do you feel it is appropriate to hang in place as such when the scriptures teaches us "not to cast pearls before swine?

" please tell me your feelings on this subject as i feel that i should not be here but for some reason keep returning....do we believers feel that we can make some good here and is that why we continue to come here?

((((((Dear AGuest))))) ,

I have read many of your past posts here and this last one of yours on this thread. I have a question for you: are you a Prophetess - serving who? I suggest you attentively ponder on the Holy Scriptures rather than making observations out of your own understanding if you consider yourself a true Christian - that's the right thing to do. Speak less - show us proof from the Scriptures instead..

This is what you said:
But if you condemn the other 9,998... by means of believing you can "uproot the weeds"... without "uprooting the wheat"... you are fooling yourself. It is not your job to do.

Here is what the Scriptures say AGuest, if you consider yourself a true Christian - receive it and embraced it:

ISAIAH 54:17:" Any weapon whatever that will be formed against you will have no success, and any tongue at all that will rise up against you in the judgement you will condemn. This is the hereditary possession of the servants of Jehovah, and their righteousness is from me, is the utterance of Jehovah."

This thread you started, Gentlesoul, is aimed at believers as you stated :"For the believers"

Being a believer myself, I'am obliged to reply.

I am here because I want to please my Creator and not man. And that by my conduct here, I will be able to have some persons return to the True God. I am a sinner too, don't forget that ! I love my fellowmen as humans, and I do NOT love their sins!

2 CORINTHIANS 2:14:" But thanks be to God who always leads us in a triumphal procession in company with Christ and makes the odor of the knowledge of him perceptible through us in every place."NWT

Anointed Class? What Anointed Class?

by never_a_jw in

please, take the time to read this:.

the wts teaches that only the anointed 144,000 seen in revelation 7 will enter heaven (the "anointed class"), while the remainder that are not annihilated (the "other sheep") will live forever on earth in paradise.

however, the bible poses some irreconcilable difficulties with this idea.

You said: "A&F:
A&F said: "I use the NWT Bible and trust it completely."

"This has to be the most scarey comment I've ever heard by someone claiming to be a Christian!!!"

If it is scary to you, it's not to me: I didn't criticize you for placing a santa claus hat on your avatar when you claim to be a Christian ; and I cosidered yourself my Brother on my thread: Return To God And He WIll Forgive You In A Large Way") for what you said to me. Why are you judging me on the outside and not on the inside only?

The Holy Scriptures teaches us to judge from the inside and not from the outside.

PROVERBS 19:25:" The ridiculer you should strike, that the inexperienced one may become shrewd: and there should be a reproving of the understanding one, that he may discern knowledge,"NWT

You quoted : 2 Corinthians 1 20 For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ. And so through him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God. 21 Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, . . ."

~Ros

I use the NWT Bible and trust it completely. Here is what it says in 2 Corinthians chapter 1 verses 20

and 22:

2 CORINTHIANS:1:20:" For no matter how many the promises of God are, they have become Yes by means of him.Therefore also through him is the "Amen" [said] to God for glory through us."NWT

2 CORINTHIANS:1:21" But he who guarantees that YOU and we belong to Christ and he who has anointed us is God."NWT

I never considered myself of the heavenly anointed class when I was still in the organization. I sincerely believe that Jehovah God anoints us Christians now . I think that it would be presumputous on my part to say that I am of the anointed because it is Jehovah God who sanctions/anoints us - Jehovah God knows who who He has chosen to anoint - it is not for us to determine that. I used to tell people that I wasn't of the anointed. Now, if people ask me if I am anointed, I will tell them that I do not know. I believe that Jehovah God and Jesus Christ are the Ones who know for sure what we really are, and not ourselves :whether we have been anointed by Jehovah God, rests in Jehovah God's Hands.

I believe that Christians are considered holy in Jehovah God's Eyes. As far as being of the anointed ones, like I said, it rests in God's Hands. And it Is God who determines who is deserving of anointing"

1 PETER 1:15:"Because it is written:" YOU must be holy, because, I am holy."

You said:"A&F:Pleased to make your acquaintence.

You are welcome. I noticed a poster here on this thread referring myself as a man, and I thought I would let you know before you would call me a man too.

What country are you from?

I'm from Canada.

I should just point out to you that excessive scriptural quotation and proselytizing isn't generally welcome by most on this site, as we've all been on both sides of that game. As for using the NWT, unless there's VERY good reason to quote it, it tends to bring people (myself included) out in a rash.

I respect your point-of - view, Ross.

Just a word to the wise, given in Christian love...
Every Blessing,
Ross.

2 Timothy 3:15:" and that from infancy you have known the holy writtings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through the faith in connection with Christ Jesus."NWT

Thank you Brother Ross.

I thought of leaving you all with these words of wisdom from the Holy Scriptures. I wish you all the best on your journey to find the True God to become a child of God. And also to those who left Him - that they will resolve to return to Him and become a child of God again.

JOHN 3:16:" For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, in order that everyone execising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life."NWT

JOHN 3:35:" The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand."NWT

JOHN 3:36:" He that exercises faith in the Son has everlasting life; he that disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains upon him."NWT
