MyMailMUM,
Read the "I am" scriptures as to who a person becomes in Christ.
Then compare it with what you have learned you are.

Here's my story (I'm new here)....
by crownboy ini am a 4th generation witness (on both sides of the family) and indeed my entire family (save for the few who "fall away" in every family) are jehovah's witnesses.
my dad is an elder, my mom a regular pioneer and my two elder sisters the same.
my younger sister is 17 and still unbaptized, so therefore she is sort of a "black sheep" in our family and "spiritually weak" for not having already "taken the dip in the pool" (however, due to her overall open-minded nature, i am perhaps closest to her).

A few things I don't understand about the bible
by Leander inthere have always been things about the bible that never really made much sense to me.
not to say that i disagree with whats in the bible but i have wondered about the fairness of certain things.. 1. for example i've always even as a child thought that it was odd that so many people would die during armageddon.
now as an adult and i understand people better than i did years ago i really do feel puzzled about the fact that according to the scriptures the majority of mankind will perish.

Leander,
Your thoughts and ponderances of this nature are not a priority for you at this.
There is a matter of Salvation and being in the position of the New Man in God.
Then your questions will come forth with a more rational posturing of inquiry. The static is removed and faith, with the help of the Holy Spirit, will answer many of those questions. The cobwebs will go away.
Start with sincere prayer as soon as possible. You will learn the Grace of our Abba Father, our God in Heaven.
In Christ

KNOWING WHO YOU ARE AS A CHRISTIAN
It is good to learn exactly who a Christian becomes when he joins the Body of Christ and what GOD provides for him in his SON Jesus Christ, along with the enabling of the Holy Spirit. Too often, we do not understand what is happening to us spiritually. We really need to know what the scriptures explain about us after we are saved. We need to understand our new relationship with our Father, his Son, and the Holy Spirit.
These scriptures are a joyous encouragement and very up-building to a Christian or to anyone seeking to be a Christian: a platform from which to go forth and follow-through after being saved in our relationship with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—something to make us better fathers, mothers, children, and neighbors, as we hold hands in the Mightiness of our Lord Jesus Christ.
It is good to read each declaration. Confess it aloud. Then read aloud each supporting scripture. Remember dear Christian, each scripture is about you personally. Please be encourage to look-up and read each scripture. Allow God’s Holy Spirit to minister these wonderful truths to you. You will be quickened, strengthened, and blessed.
1. I am a child of God; and therefore, an heir of God and a joint heir with His SON Jesus Christ. Since my God says this, I know that my inheritance can never be taken away. (Please read and study Romans 8:16-17; I John 1:3; Galatians 4:6-7).
2. I am a new creature in Christ. The old things of my past, lost life have passed away; and behold, God’s new Things have come into “my” life. (II Corinthians 5:17)
3. I have been forever accepted by God in his Son Jesus Christ, and I am declared by Him to be holy and blameless. (Romans 15:7; Ephesians 1:4) Since God’s Son—perfect in every way—created all things by the Word of His mouth, has accepted me now and forever, it does not matter very much to me if someone else has rejected me. This tells me that in Jesus Christ, I am a person of great worth to My God and Father.
4. I can never be rejected by My God because I am in His eternal Son, Jesus Christ. I am a member of God’s forever-family. He has declared that He will never desert me nor will He ever forsake me. (Hebrews 13:8)
It is good to know Jesus Christ is unchanging. He is the same yesterday and today, yes, and forever! (Hebrews 13:8)
5. I am confident for this very thing: that He (God) who began a good work (Jesus Christ) in me will continue to build and complete Christ’s likeness in me until the day of Jesus Christ (His return) (Philippians 1:6)
6. My God chose me in Jesus Christ before the foundation of the world. (Ephesians 1:4)
7. It never ceases to amaze me that my Father would draw me to his Son, Jesus Christ and give me faith to believe in Him and receive Him as my Lord and Savior. Thank you! (John 6:44; John 6:37; Romans 12:3)
8. I rejoice in the fact that my Father is able to do exceedingly and abundantly beyond all that I can ask or think, according to his power that works in me. (Ephesians 3:20).
9. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. (Philippians 4:13).
10. I have been raised up with Jesus Christ, and I am seated in Him in the heavenly places. (Ephesians 2: 6)
11. I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. The life which I now live in this body, I live by faith in the Son of God who loves me, and delivered Himself up for me. (Galatians 2:20)
12. I have died and my life is hidden with Christ in God. (Colossians 3:3).
13. Jesus Christ has come into me and has given me His abundant life now. (John 10:10)
14. Blessed be the God and Father of my Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed me with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ (Ephesians 1:3).
15. Jesus Christ always lives to make intercession in prayer for me. (Hebrews 7:25).
16. I know that My God causes all things to work together for my good because I love Him and I have been called according to His purpose. (Romans 8:28).
17. Nothing and no one shall over be able to separate me from God’s love which is in Christ Jesus my Lord. (Romans 8:39).
18. For it is God who is at work in me both to will and to do His good pleasure. (Philippians 2:13).
19. He foreknew me, and He also predestined me to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the first born among many brethren. (Romans 8:29).
20. The love of God has been poured forth within my heart through the Holy Spirit who has been given to me (Romans 5:5) Also, with the love that God has poured into my heart, I choose to love Him with all my heart, body, mind, and strength, and to love my neighbor (regardless who my neighbor is) as myself. (Matthew 22:37-40).
21. I thank you my God that you always lead me in your triumph in Christ. (II Corinthians 2:14).
22. I will overwhelmingly conquer all things through Christ because He loves me. (Romans 8:37).
23. I have been given authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions (Satan’s demons in type), and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt me. (Luke 10:19).
24. I am forever secure because I am seated in Christ. (Ephesians 2:6).
25. God will never condemn me. (John 5:24, Romans 8:1).
26. God declares me righteous. (Romans 3:22; Romans 4:22-25).
27. I have been made complete in Jesus Christ. From God’s point of view there is nothing missing—check me and see when I arrive on the scene in heaven! (Colossians 1:10)
28. I am already a citizen of heaven. I am already registered on the rolls! (Philippians 3:20)
29. I have been transferred out of Satan’s kingdom into God’s Kingdom! (Colossians 1:13)
30. I have been forgiven through the provision of the blood of Jesus Christ! (Ephesians 1:7; I John 1:7,9) Furthermore, He does not remember those past forgiven sings! (Hebrews 10:17).
31. God promises to supply all my needs according to His riches in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19).
32. Thank you Heavenly Father for giving me exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these I may be a partaker of your divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. (II Peter 1:4).
Heavenly Father, it is thrilling to read that all of your promises have their “Yes” in my Lord Jesus Christ and that they are for your glory through me. (II Corinthians 1:20)
33. Thank you Lord Jesus for telling me that your words are eternal. You said, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words shall not pass away.” (Matthew 24:35)
PRAISE THE LORD TO THE GLORY OF GOD ! -

This is directed to you and your kind, satanist.
I have been given authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions (Satan’s demons in type), and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt me. Luke 10:19
Therefore, Satanist and all like you on this forum, I come against YOU in the Name of My Lord Jesus Christ. I take my authority over you and your kind, and I cover you with the blood of my lord Jesus Christ that you may not work, I bind you in the Name Of Jesus Christ.
I ask my heavenly Father to send warring angels against you, to send your powers of darkness and your unclean spirits to the pit. I ask the Holy Spirit from my Father in heaven to enable this now and all that is necessary for the binding and counteracting of your demonic powers.
Heavenly Father, I ask that all readers on this forum not of this darkness to be protected by the blood of Jesus Christ.
In the Name of Jesus Christ, I cancel out all curses, affectations, and prayers in the name of Satan, that you have imposed upon whomever within your life times and back 20 generations of your ancestry.
I bring the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ between us and you and your kind.
Note Satanist that “My Lord Jesus Christ has spoiled all principalities and powers, and made a show of them openly and triumphed over them in Himself. In the Name of Jesus Christ, I claim for Christians all that victory for those in this forum that would receive it today.”
I reject all the insinuations, accusations and temptations of your satanic mouth and your Satanic Father. I affirm that the Word of God is true, and I choose for those who would receive it, to live today in the light of God’s Word. I choose, Heavenly Father, for those who would receive it, to live in obedience to you and desire close fellowship with you. Amen. Praise be to the Father and his Son and the Holy Spirit.

Look at the mouth of this SSatan character and his disrepect for our Lord Jesus Christ. He wrote
{quote}Can i give my opinion on who jesus may have been, provided he existed?{/quote}
Note the doubt he tries to introduce, and the lower case j for our Lord Jesus Christ.
--------------------------------------------------------
This is the way Satan approached Eve, "It is really true that God said..."This man is a Satanist.
In the Name of Jesus Christ I ask that the Lord Jesus Christ send warring angels against the unclean spirits within you, Satanist. And that you must leave Mommie Dark alone, in the Name of Jesus Christ, I command the spirits within you leave Mommie Dark and Cindy alone.
In Christ
Praise and honour be to our Lord Jesus Christ -

SSatan, crawl back in your hole [pit] and don't interfere with intelligent questions by someone who cares, looking to help others. Take your accusing spirit and your disconnecting mouth to the pit where you belong.

ATTENTION, FORUM. This “THE WAY INTERNATIONAL” is at www.theway.com . I “think” this a more formalized name for the “Jesus People” movement of the ‘60s, or an offshoot thereoff.
Greetings Mark,
I am a member of the Body Of Christ, as define by the Bible. I prefer not to isolate myself to a denomination reference; I attend church where I feel the Bible is being taught. My age: an advantage over yours. My Salvation is through Jesus Christ, as his Father, his God, would have it.
I was informed: This JW forum is about 20 percent JWs. Others, "temporary" atheists and xjw’s in-progress towards healing. [Sometimes youth-cultured mentality makes them obnoxious.]
Note Mark.
Please think “WatchTower” rather than Jehovah’s Witnesses. There are sheep within the witnesses, some deceived, some tolerating their hurting plight. The WT is a false prophet. [Perhaps their more controlling adament followers are like temple prostitutes, prostituting the word of God. ]MARK.
Strong is a concordance "only" for the King James "Version" of the Bible. The KJ is a version; it not being a translation. “Strong” is fine, as long as one's learning is not isolated to it and its 1610 era of transliteration.You said "the Trinity is confusing to the carnal" and, apparently, “a mystery to the spiritual,” right?!*
Perhaps better to quote, "...But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God..." Here, the word "things" does not include the man-made trinity doctrine, an UN-divine statement-of-belief from men, which you would choose to make divine. You set a platform of misinformation from which to build an argument of “spiritual verses carnal.”
You wrote, “…I do my best ‘not’ to reason…” Trusting in the LORD.
I think you really mean …I do my best to reason [ but NOT WITHOUT ] trusting in the LORD...
[I sense how you reason, and what you say, is according to “The Way International.”
Well, JW’s do the same, but according to the WatchTower. Neither “organization” would have
- freedom in Christ.
- understand the Body Of Christ.
- respect individual relationships with Christ.Each elects their own way, independent and above the Body Of Christ.
[I find it comforting to realize denominations are man-made. They and tradition have no hold on me. Not saying here not to go to church; one should go somewhere for fellowship and brotherhood. Answering to a body of men is good when proper.]
Mark, you wrote
...and just accept the Word of the Living God. Amen![I reason here you mean to have faith, according to knowledge, as would be led by the Holy Spirit. Here, the rub is that you mean, "accept the Word of the Living God, according to the Way International, Right?”]
Yes, the WT is a false prophet, WHICH IS THE SAME AS DIVINATION, more because of their cult-control abusive nature, using God’s name in vain [in a worthless way], and their insistance upon false chronology; NOT by their non-trinity stance.
The trinity components. Later.
