Are you one of the Anointed? | Jehovah's Witnesses (avoidjw.org)

So are you one of the 144,000 kings that will survive Jehova killing everyone

Or are you a Christian that does not believe that nonsense

Nobody knows who the 144,000 are yet. So I cannot tell if I am one of them.

You saw what I believe about the nature of God. Does that sound like I am a JW?

I asked you what you believe the nature of God is.

But the real question is: Do you have to believe in the same nature of God as you do, to be called a Christian?

Acts 2:38 got a lot more than just JW.... :eek: because with all these demoninations and not one can agree on one thing, then it's a lot more JW in here than you think, if they are the only one's disqualified of Acts 2:38. well it's a lots more... :p

as i said, argue with the scriptures, and not each other. if what one says or believes, if it's true the scriptures will support it, if not ?????? :(

Matthew 12:36 "But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment."Matthew 12:37 "For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned."

one keep forgetting one thing, in Christ Jesus all things are under your feet, "the supremacy of Christ". which is our freedom in christ. but mind you in any freedom comes responsibilities. listen 1 Corinthians 6:12 "All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any."

all things are lawful in christ, so one can celebrate any holiday you want, but if a holiday casuse you improper or immoral behavor, then cut it off. as well said again by the apostle, 1 Corinthians 10:23 "All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not."

if it don't edify, or cause harm to someone else, as a christian in Christ, you're above that, and if need be, suffer not to offend your brother...... as possibly as you can.

see in Christ Jesus the Spirit will lead you, scripture, Romans 8:14 "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." it's just that simple...

this is what I been saying scripture with the Holy Spirit as teacher will guide all of us in the right and correct way.

Since Scripture does not support your false belief that Jesus is the Holy Spirit, why do you persist in holding to that false doctrine? Why have you not yielded to Scripture, instead of trying to twist it to fit your theology?

All cults engage in brainwashing. Therefore you can show JWs hundreds of Bible verses that refute their false teachings, and it makes not one iota of difference. The same with your false belief that Jesus is the Holy Spirit.

The first step towards God is adhere to Acts 2:38.

Those that skip Acts 2:38 are pre, "men and brethren, what shall we do", still.

They have not even reached that point yet.

To those who believe that Jesus is God, we show deference and honor Him even in small ways, like capitalizing words that refer to Him. However, Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe Jesus is God, so when they say He is still the "Son of God" it might as well be lowercase, as it is in Gen. 6:4. The actual capitalizing is not important, it is what meaning the term "Son of God" implies. Therefore, to me, if Jesus is not God and is only the archangel Michael given human form, then why call those who believe in this "Christian" at all?
You honor Jesus by altering the scripture which is something Jesus said not to do. Doesn't make sense to me but ok.
Jesus is a/the Son of the Most High so it seems like your splitting hairs.
As far as the Jesus / Michael thing I really don't know much on it.

MY neighbor says yes they are, however he as a Jehovah does not believe that Jesus is the son of God. Now I do not care what he believes, however I fail to see how a Christian would not accept and acknowledge the risen Christ.

Not trying to flame any JW's but Catholics, Baptist, Protestants and every other Christian denomination that I know all see Christ as the son of God

So. Are Jehovah’s Witness Christians?

Anyone tells you that Jehovah's witnesses don't believe Jesus is the Only Begotten Son of God are lying about Jehovah's witnesses or don't know anything about them. Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the Only True God Jehovah is the Father and God of Jesus Christ as the scriptures tell us at John 17:3; John 20:17. They believe that Jehovah God sent his Only-begotten Son to mankind to save mankind. They believe that it was God who resurrected Jesus from the dead three after his death. 1 Corinthians 15:15; Acts 13:34. So Jehovah's Witnesses do believe Jesus is the Only Begotten Son of God.

Actually it is central to Gospel truth. If Jesus is not God, then the Gospel means absolutely nothing. Only God as Man could die for the sins of the whole world, and be raised again on the third day. Only God could be called both Lord and Christ.

Now this here is denying that Jesus is the Only-begotten Son of God. When anyone claims Jesus is God and man that's a denial that it was the Only-begotten Son of God who became man. It also calls Jesus a liar since Jesus says God is his Father and God at John 17:3; and John 20:17

If he is the only begotten son of God, how can he not be God?

If he is the only begotten son of God, how can he not be God?
Whose definitions are you using as to what is or is not the nature of God? Does God have the power to make a God or to beget a son? Is that beyond the power of God?

Did man create his begotten son? Did animal create his begotten son? So how can the only begotten son of God be created?

You guys don't even know what the difference between begotten and created is, and you guys don't even understand what begotten actually means.

I tell you everyone, who deny Jesus as the almighty God and Creator of all things, has lost his salvation.

God can do everything. And what he did with Jesus was to beget his spirit in human flesh. Jesus is not a created angel, he is the manifestion of the spirit of God in flesh. He is one in the nature of God, they are one and the same.
The father, the son, the holy spirit, one and the same spirit.

because a father and son are two individuals and not the same. if you asked a young man to go get his father and stepped to the side and stepped back and told you now he is the father you would think he had a mental defect.

There is no scripture that says believing that God came to humanity as a human and that God died then was resurrected three days later is what you must believe in order to be saved. There is plenty of scriptures that say that God sent his Only-begotten Son to humans as a human and the Only-begotten Son of God sacrificed his humanity to save humanity and that God resurrected his Only-begotten Son the third day after he was sacrificed. The scriptures also tell us if you exercise faith that God sent his Only-begotten Son to humanity to save humanity and that he did resurrected him three days after he was sacrificed then you will be saved.
