are jehovah's witnesses really the only religion that promotes and preaches the name of jehovah?.

jw's are always claiming that they are the only religion that preaches and uses the name jehovah, and that is why only they will be saved.

for example, look at this quote from the watchtower:.

I pray that no matter what you think of my post, that if there is any sin in your life, any way that you have not lived and walked by faith, that you would repent of your sins and accept the forgiveness of Jesus (Luke 24:46-7).

If there is anyone who does not repent, they will perish, because righteousness is not something that we are supposed to understand by comparing it with one another (Luke 13:1-4). If we were to judge by comparison, we would be judging by mere appearances rather than judging correctly (John 7:27). I pray that you may all learn the justification and the salvation of God, namely that although all have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God, God demonstrates his own love for us in this, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8).

May you come to repentance and a knowledge of the truth. "God does not desire that anyone should perish, but that all should come to repentance" and, again, "he wants all to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth" (2 Peter 3:9, 1 Timothy 2:4). I pray that if any of you do not have peace with God that only comes by being justified through faith, that you would look on Jesus and believe in him (Romans 5:1 and John 3:14-5).

Hi all,

I know this thread hasn't been active for a little bit, but I just wanted to encourage all of you in your pursuit of Jehovah. You are clearly very zealous people after Jehovah which is not necessarily a bad thing, provided that you are zealous for the right reasons (Galatians 4:18). I know that Jehovah exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him (Hebrews 11:6).

I encourage any one of you that have any doubts about the grace of God to fall on Jesus Christ and what he did when he died on the cross to save sinners. Do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could have been obtained through keeping the law, Christ died for nothing! (Galatians 2:21). Be crucified with Christ and no longer live! Allow Jesus Christ to live in you. May you live the life that you live in this body by faith from first to last, just as it is written, the righteous shall live by faith. (Galatians 2:21, Habakkuk 2:4).

I did want to warn you before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value and only ruins those who listen (2 Timothy 2:14).

I pray that you may all believe in the Son (namely Jesus, Luke 22:69-70) and in so doing have eternal life, I pray that you may not reject the Son and in so doing not see life because God's wrath remains on you (John 3:36).

I am grateful for the way that you diligently study the scriptures because you believe that in them there is life, I pray that in them you may find the testimony of Jesus Christ and believe in him and that in so believing you may have eternal life (John 5:39).

Remember that Jesus himself said that he testified that the world's works were evil and the world hated him for that reason (John 7:7). That is the world that God so loved that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16). I pray that you may all have life and have it to the full (John 10:10). The devil is a thief and a robber who is trying to keep you from that life by trying to condemn you, but God did not condemn you, nor the world, when he sent his one and only son (Jesus) into the world. He sent Jesus into the world to save the world, why are you looking for condemnation for yourselves or for others (John 3:17)? Those who have just condemnation, those for whom the wrath of God is against, are those who do not believe in Jesus and those who believe that they ought to sin all the more that the grace of God may increase (John 3:36 and Romans 3:8).

Always remember and never forget, that despite all the confusion, God's solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription 'the Lord knows those who are his' and 'everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness' (2 Timothy 2:19). I pray that every single one of you who confess the name of Jehovah will turn away from wickedness. Everything that does not come from faith is sin (Romans 14:23). I pray that you may turn away from any wickedness in your life and live by faith in Jesus.

I know that Jesus is the Son of God in power. The Holy Ghost appointed him as such by his resurrection from the dead. Jesus Christ is Lord. I pray that you may all obey the call of God and in obedience live by faith for his name's sake (Romans 1:4-5).
