First off, it is not my judgment, but the Word of God that is saying that!
No, that is you applying scripture to those who disagree with what you want to believe....big difference.
Second off:
Believing is not what the lying Watchtower has indoctrinated you to believe! that is another gospel.
Whose lies are you believing? Could it be at all possible that satan has deceived the whole world? (1 John 5:19) What makes you immune? Those whom Jesus rejects at the judgment have no idea that their Christianity is nothing more than a satanic lie....you couldn’t possibly be among them...could you? (Matthew 7:21-23) This is something we all need to ask ourselves....what does it mean to BE a “Christian”?
go look up the greek for yourself and learn that it is trusting in Jesus alone for your salvation.--believing!
Yet “the demons “believe” and shudder”....(James 2:19) So, it’s not just about “believing”.....one has to demonstrate by their conduct that they live their faith...not just talk about it.
Greek studies are very enlightening. But one has to approach them without bias so that things are not read into the Greek scriptures that were concepts inserted by biased translators.
How did Jesus teach his disciples to preach? Did he tell them to sit in a building preaching to the choir......or did he tell them to go out to the people and search for the worthy ones? (Matthew 10:11-14)
Last time I looked Matthew 28:19-20 was a *command* from the Master to “Go and make disciples of people of all nations, teaching them to observe all the things“ that he had commanded them. Does that describe you or your church’s activities?
Christendom has no idea what Jesus taught....they don’t know what God’s kingdom is, or what it will do for mankind on this earth.....they are too busy imagining their life in heaven to understand that this was never in God’s original purpose for this earth and for human kind upon it. God did not go to all this trouble just to provide a training ground for heaven.....he already has a large family of “sons” to serve him there. None of them needed to live here first.
Well as no one is obedient to all of Christs teachings all the time- according to your words here not even the pseudo 144,000 of the Watchtower will make it.
Imperfect humans mirror the apostles who were also flawed in their character at time....God does not demand perfection because he knows what sin has done to us.....Jesus knows first hand from living among imperfect men and understands our plight. What he will not forgive is the temerity to judge another as unworthy of life. He gave us instructions to teach from God’s word as he did...and as he trained his disciples to do. Judging others is not our job.....we can present our truth as we understand it, but in judging individuals as unworthy of life is to disqualify ourselves....so be careful how you judge, so that you may not receive the same judgment upon yourself.
BTW: whatever happened to all the other 144,000 who have been purged by the Watchtower. Are they part of the great crowd or will just cease to exist. Just like the Catholics when they from time to time purge saints.
Again that is for God to judge.....Jehovah has never shown favor to defectors.....even nations on earth take a dim view of those who betray their country and side with the opposition. It is punishable by death.
The difficulty for us is, who is teaching an unpopular truth as Jesus was, and who is accepting and promoting the convenient lies, planted by the devil so long ago, that no one noticed when the defection took place. The devil’s deception is complete....he awaits his own fate knowing full well what that will be....but he will take pleasure in taking as many down with him as he can......Jesus said that it will be the majority who find themselves on the road to destruction, whereas only the faithful “few” will even find the “narrow gate” to enter the “cramped” road to life. (Matthew 7:13-14) Jesus told us to expect opposition for upholding his truth.....(John 15:18-21) Who’s side are you on in that situation?
We can let what the Bible says take place......our confidence is meaningless however, because only on that day of judgment will we know if we have put our faith and loyalty in the right place. It will be a day of great joy for the “few”, and a day of extreme anxiety for the “many” who allowed themselves to be deceived. The mouth speaks what is in the heart.
