The unknown single most important thing to be sure to know if you meet a JW.

[PS95]

According to Romans 6:7, yes….but Jesus paid for his life to be restored! Otherwise, he would stay dead forever!

But “The payment for sin is death,” (Romans 6:23) Once you’ve paid for something, you don’t keep owing it.

Why is your YES not in bold? That's all I asked of you. Thank you. I REST MY CASE.

So if dying pays for our sins, why then wouldn't EVERYONE who ever died be resurrected?

There will be some who won’t; those who saw Christ’s miracles, and still refused to put faith in Him (the Pharisees & Scribes, whom Jesus said would go to Gehenna, come to mind).

I guess just about most everyone will receive a resurrection, probably. That’s God’s love (1John 4:8); not only Jesus, but Jehovah Himself paid a heavy price for mankind (no wonder the Earth quaked & the skies grew dark, when His Son died).

He had it written that “the Devil … is misleading the entire inhabited earth” (Revelation 12:9), so Jehovah will keep that in mind on His Day of Judgement.

But He also can read our heart. He just may consider some of us “incorrigibly wicked.”

“Armageddon will destroy only the incorrigibly wicked, and there will be “a great crowd” of survivors. (Revelation 7:9-14) They will see these words come true: “Just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more; and you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be. But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, and they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.”—Psalm 37:10, 11.”

We don’t have any forums! You know that!

Just for the record, I decided to do an online search and there are a number of JW forums, and the membership requirements are that you are a JW xx

I see. I am not going to ask you any more. I don't want you to sit in judgment of who receives life and who does not.

You answered my question. Thank you.

Please read the passages below. Only Jesus can pay our sin debt. and He has. It is finished.

1 Cor 6:9-11
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. 11Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

1 Peter 2:24
"He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness."
(that is now- in this life)

Col 2:13
And when you were dead in your wrongdoings and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our wrongdoings,

Rev 1:5
..and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and released us from our sins by His blood—

Ro 5:16 The gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand the judgment arose from one offense, resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the gracious gift arose from many offenses, resulting in justification.

There are so many passages like this. These are just a few. Jesus died for us for OUR sins. It is clear as day. Your death can't pay anything to God. You are not sinless.. Only Jesus was. Your death - It is the wage paid to you . IF you do not accept God's free gift in Christ our Lord. You have a choice.
You are all mixed up. I have been there. It can all be untangled and you can learn anew in Christ.
Don't fret about soul sleep, or the other sheep class, fires in hell or the trinity. None of that matters now. Just believe God's word. Jesus' death paid for our sins. It is TRUTH. It is plain as day.
We love because He first loved us. 1 John 4:19

And none are sanctioned, sponsored, or supported by the Organization! None.

There are millions of us, all over the world. Individual JW’s have started forums, but none are supported or officially approved by the Society.

That’s for the record.
