OK believers, time to put up or shut up...

by Gregor in

apparently, a large percentage of xjw's who post on this site have embraced some other form of god/jesus belief to replace the wt doctrine.

most of them fall into the "i accept the lord jesus christ as my personal savior" class.

they are still extremely attached to the old "forgiveness of sin through the shed blood of jc" line.

RevFrank

What's wrong with, "accepting Jesus as your personal Savior?" What's wrong with one leaving a religion to embrace God Himself?

What's wrong with surrendering to Christ when He said Himself that He was the Way, Truth, and the Life?

What's wrong with having a personal relationship with God instead of following a religion that has no strength?

And, most of all..., what's wrong with a FAITH relying on God alone and living a fuller life?

Jesus never guaranteed anyone a trouble free life, if one accepted Him? Christ said that He promised us eternal life, if we chose to follow Him. Christ told us that, if we followed Him, throuble times would come our way.

Man has failed us all though life....Christ hasn't failed us...man has. What's your excuse, my friend?

History of the Bible - JWs will not like this

historically, the bible is a secondary support for christians and jews.

i was raised roman catholic, and our tradition and practices included the bible, but it was not a key centerpiece of our faith.

the jewish side of my family likewise have a rich history of tradition and faith that is lived, and not pinned down to every word in the bible.

RevFrank

Try not to forget..but the Orthodox church(catholic) was the first established church as the Eastern Orthodox catholic church.......

Why I know the Watchtower has the Truth:

i urge you to disregard any personal opinions voiced by anyone, including myself regarding watchtower society publications.

but i would like to ask you to meditate on why god is so puny and ineffective.

he must be the epitome of helplessness.

I agree with mrsjones5

Questions: What is the Sacred Secret? and Locusts of Abyss?

by Guest with Questions in

i have a copy of may 1,1998 watchtower.

when i heard a few years ago about the witnesses believing that they were the locusts i thought it was just a rumour; that even for a jw org it was too far fetched.

a few weeks ago i read about it again on this site.

RevFrank

Just another tibbit.....while I was studying with the witnesses, one of the main issues, they say is, many a church, kept secrets from us, yet the watchtower kept on harping on this so called Sacred Secret. Yet Christ told us that all things would be reveled to us when the Holy Spirit came to us.

Jhn 14:26 But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. So for those who desire to know the Holy Spirit will teach us....So there really isn't any secret, because the Holy Spirit is ours to learn.

Jews 4 Jesus....Do they believe and what do they believe.

by RevFrank in

jw
friends

many years ago i started talking to the jewish community.

and a part of my heritage, i have jewish blood flowing through me, also.

but that's not importanbt at the moment..what is, is that do the jews believe as a christian?....

RevFrank

It's really funny to think about it.I made a statement considering the Isrealites converting to christianity and what they believe.....and right here I get some back lash on what they believe....I never said those jews who converted to the Witnesses...I never said those jews who converted to mormonism(but I doubt)...I said the, "Statement of Faith," considering, "Jews 4 Jesus."

Apperently those who denie the, "Trinity," must push their opinions reguardless of the costs. Trinity......more then a latan word....yet it breaks down meaning 3-in-1. I'm not going any further in trying to educate someone who must insist their error must be right.

All I said was, if anyone who thinks sideways :-),,,,is the Jews 4 Jesus has the same reasonings as most christians.
