Thanks for your honesty
I disagree with the teachings of (Charles Taze Russell) founder of the Jehovahs Witnesses, and the "Little Flock" of 144,000, also the many other teachings of Russell
Once again thanks for your honesty, Jesus Is The Lord God Jehovah
Charles Taze Russell (1851-1916 C.E.) was
not the founder of Jehovah's Witnesses, but was one whom Jehovah used to reestablish true worship "in the final part of the days", though crude in the beginning, for some teachings were in error, but which Proverbs 4:18 states: "But the path (or spiritual condition) of the righteous is like the bright morning light that grows brighter and brighter (in accurately understanding what the Bible teaches and applying it) until full daylight (which is now being approached, as mankind enters the last days of "the final part of the days")."
At Isaiah 60, it says of the refinements of "truth" that will be made: "Instead of the copper I will bring in gold, and instead of the iron I will bring in silver, instead of the wood, copper, and instead of the stones, iron; And I will appoint peace as your overseers and righteousness as your task assigners. No more will violence be heard in your land or destruction and ruin within your boundaries. And you will call your walls Salvation and your gates Praise. For you the sun will no longer be a light by day, nor will the shining of the moon give you light, for Jehovah will become to you an eternal light, and your God will be your beauty (see Rev 21:22-25). No more will your sun set, nor will your moon wane, for Jehovah will become for you an eternal light, and the days of your mourning will have ended. And
all your people will be righteous; They will possess the (symbolic) land (of spiritual Israel) forever. They are the sprout that I planted (that was started by Jesus and was effectively replanted during "the final part of the days"), the work of my hands, for me to be beautified."(Isa 60:17-21)
At Isaiah 2, it says: "In the final part of the days (that began in 1914 with Jesus being crowned king of God's Kingdom [Dan 7:13, 14], when the Kingdom was "set up", see Dan 2:44), the mountain of the house of Jehovah (or true worship) will become firmly established above the top of the mountains (or human political governments), and it will be raised up above the hills (or human institutions that people look to for support), and to it all the nations will stream. And many peoples will go and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will instruct us about his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For law will go out of Zion, and the word of Jehovah out of Jerusalem. He will render judgment among the nations and set matters straight respecting many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, nor will they learn war anymore."(Isa 2:2-4)
The churches of Christendom have
not ' beaten their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears ', so that so-called Christian ' nation has lifted up sword against nation ' in war after war, being massively blood guilty.(see Rev 18:24)
Through an illustration, Jesus pointed out that the "one faith" (Eph 4:5) that he established and came into operation on Pentecost 33 C.E. with the outpouring of holy spirit (Acts 2:4), would be "oversown" with counterfeit Christians, saying: "The Kingdom of the heavens may be likened to a man (Jesus Christ, see Matt 13:37) who sowed fine seed (or Kingdom truth) in his field. While men were sleeping (or especially after the death of the apostles who kept apostasy at bay, see 2 Thess 2:7), his enemy (Satan the Devil) came and oversowed weeds (or counterfeit Christians) in among the wheat (or true Christians) and left. When the stalk sprouted and produced fruit (or when true Christianity was fully functioning), then the weeds (or fake Christians) also appeared (who began to teach false ideas, twisting Scripture, eventually teaching the Trinity, hellfire, immortality of the soul, a clergy-laity class, the cross, involvement in politics, etc)."
"So the slaves of the master of the house came and said to him, ‘Master, did you not sow fine seed in your field ? How, then, does it have weeds ?’ He said to them, ‘An enemy, a man, did this.’ The slaves said to him, ‘Do you want us, then, to go out and collect them ?’ (saying this at the end of the 1st century when counterfeit Christians were starting to take a foot-hold and the apostle John, as the last of the apostles, had just died)."
"He said, ‘No, for fear that while collecting the weeds, you uproot the wheat with them (for the teaching or false ideas of the "weeds" was not clear enough yet to distinguish effectively them from "the wheat"). Let both grow together until the harvest (that started in 1914 and when there would be a clear "distinction between a righteous person and a wicked person, between one serving God and one not serving him", Mal 3:18), and in the harvest season (or during the 1st phase of the great tribulation, Matt 24:21; Rev 7:14), I will tell the reapers (or angels, Matt 13:39): First collect the weeds (or fake Christians) and bind them in bundles to burn them up (or be destroyed, see Rev 17:16, 17); then gather the wheat (or true Christians that are the "little flock" of 144,000) into my storehouse (or receiving their heavenly reward of being adopted as "sons of God", see Rom 8:14-17).’”(Matt 13:24-30)
"In the final part of the days", "a great crowd" (Rev 7:9-14) or "other sheep" (John 10:16), are the ones who are seen at Zechariah 8:23, that says: "This is what Jehovah of armies says, ‘In those days ten men (or the complete number, for ten means earthly completeness, see Ex chapters 7-11 about "the ten plagues" that totally decimated Egypt) out of all the languages of the nations (or those who have the hope of living on the paradise earth forever, Ps 37:11, 29; Matt 5:5) will take hold, yes, they will take firm hold of the robe of a (spiritual) Jew (or those of the 144,000, who have been anointed with holy spirit for "the heavenly calling", see Rom 2:29; Eph 1:13, 14; Heb 3:1), saying: “We want to go with you, for we have heard that (Jehovah) God is with you people.”
And Jesus is
not "the Lord Jehovah" for Jesus said at John 14:28, that "the Father is greater than I am", and that at John 12:49, 50, he says: "For I have not spoken of my own initiative, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment about what to say and what to speak. And I know that his commandment (not mine) means everlasting life. So whatever I speak, I speak just as the Father has told me.”
And at Revelation 3:14, Jesus tells us that he is "the beginning of the creation by God", and the apostle Paul wrote at Colossians 1:15, that Jesus is "the firstborn of all creation". At Luke 1, the angel Gabriel told Mary, that "look ! you will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and you are to name him Jesus (that means "Jehovah is Salvation", being the same as Joshua in Hebrew). This one will be great and will be called
Son of the Most High, and Jehovah God will
give him the throne of David his father, and he will rule as King over the house of Jacob forever, and there will be no end to his Kingdom.”(Luke 1:31-33)
And at John 4, Jesus tells the Samaritan woman: "Believe me, woman, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. You worship what you do not know;
we worship (Jesus includes himself in worshipping Jehovah) what we know, because salvation begins with the Jews. Nevertheless, the hour is coming, and it is now, when the true worshippers will
worship the Father (not Jesus as the Son) with spirit and truth, for indeed, the Father is looking for ones like these to worship him.
God is a Spirit (not a man of flesh and blood), and those
worshipping him must worship with spirit and truth.”(John 4:21-24)
