Thanks for all of that , I did not dive into their doctrinal beliefs, so I am going on rather blind to them, I do not even know what JW's believe either (I am out of the loop here). I do try to avoid digging into every sects things, and I am kind of weird about clicking on links in order to do so. But I can agree anyone where I might with we might agree on a thing just as I might not agree with them on some other thing. You never know, because if you are correct and have presented it well, maybe someone might catch the reasons why you do by using the scriptures and come to see it in the same way, and visa versa.
God bless you peace to you in Christ as well.
As expected HL denied what his own religion teaches. Par for the course.
I see what you do. I understand. However, In doing so, it gives these groups a platform to spread their teachings and that is their only goal.- to sew doubts and confusion by lifting context and twisting the meaning to suit their theology.
I prefer to understand what they teach, so that I can identify blatant false teachers, and not give them a platform on a Christian site and Avoid them as the Lord taught and the apostles taught. He knows best and I see the need to obey Him.
Also, consider there are new believers and lurkers and unbelievers who don't need to be fed poison and confusion.
I do not want to be taught by a
false teacher who flat out denies that Jesus has a Pre-existence and who said He came down from heaven and had memories of His time with His Father prior to coming in the flesh.-
Hiddenthings/ Christadelphians and MOST UNI's.
I do not want to learn a thing from a false teacher who denies that Jesus is the Word and the Word was God..
I do not want to learn anything from a false teacher who says no one but their elite can be born again.
I do not want to learn anything from a false teacher who says they are the locusts from the bottomless pit and their King is Abaddon rev. 9 who are here to
HARM you because in their minds you are not sealed with the Holy Spirit.
I do not want to learn a thing from a false teacher who teaches that physical death is how they pay for their own sins so they are resurrected sinless.. denying that only Jesus' blood can pay for our sins.
I do not want to learn a thing from a false teacher who says the gospel was fulfilled and they have a new one of 1914..
I do not want to learn a thing from a false teacher who adds words to their false bible such as "other" 4 x in Colossians and in Philippians in order to lower Jesus. and more..
---JWs--
such as Elie, Aunty Jane, theHC, Keiw and others.
I saw my parents go from uninformed Catholics to JWs. Because they had very little understanding of the scriptures and were led terribly astray thinking they were having bible studies which was really a JW book study. They both died miserably.
Perhaps, that's why I feel responsible to think of others first and protect them from heresies until they are able to handle themselves and can decide whether to obey the Lord's & apostles instructions on false teachers.
How do we know who we are posting to? GOOD QUESTION and one that this forum has yet to answer.
