    The Great Crowd

    I am indeed a Bible Student, however you incorrect in your thought that the Bible Students broke off from the JW's. The Bible Students Association existed prior to the Jehovah's Witnesses. It is they who are and off-shoot of the Bible Students NOT vice-verses. The Bible Students Association...

    More on the Two Salvations

    The following is in response to a comment made by a fellow member of the Bible Students Forum. We present it here for further insight on the Two Salvation’s. Our friend states: To me the idea that there are two salvations seems to contradict the simple facts presented in the scriptures that...

    The Great Crowd

    I would suggest you consider a look at the following two posts. The Two Salvations Two Phases of the Kingdom

    The Great Crowd

    That is because the “due time” for the wise to understand has come, (that is the wise according to spiritual understanding, the spirit begotten) in fact that due time, the “Time of the End”, began in 1799 A.D. with the end of the 1260 days of Daniel, which had its beginning when the Abomination...

    The Great Crowd

    With most of this statement we are in agreement. The issue we have is in regards to the New Covenant. When you say that the 144,000 (the “Little Flock”) are “parties” to the new covenant if you mean as administrators of that covenant to the rest of the world we agree, but if you are saying that...

    The Great Crowd

    Unfortunately, my friend you seem to be as confused about this issue as are our Jehovah’s Witnesses friends. It appears that you are under the impression that our Lord was saying that one must be spirit born in order to share in the kingdom, this is true as it pertains to the ruling phase of...

    The Great Crowd

    I would suggest you read our blog post entitled, "Are the Jehovah’s Witnesses the Great Company?" This post proves conclusively that the Jehovah's Witnesses are not the Great Company mentioned in Revelation. We likewise have another post entitled, "The Great Company, Who are they?", which might...

    Are the Jehovah’s Witnesses the Great Company? Part 11

    What do you see wrong with this picture? Our JW friends are very fond of claiming the Great Company mentioned in Revelation Chapter 7 is in reference to themselves, but how then if they claim to be Jehovah’s WITNESSES (keep in mind our witness for God is more than simply a witness in word...

    Are the Jehovah’s Witnesses the Great Company? Part 10

    Continuing with our review of what we have leaned thus far in this study on who the Great Company is and if the Jehovah’s Witnesses fit the bill, we move on to point number, 7) As was stated in our previous post, we have a class here of consecrated individuals (spirit begotten) all of whom the...

    Are the Jehovah’s Witnesses the Great Company? Part 9

    Let us review what we have so far. Remember what our original intent was for this study? It was our intent to determine whom precisely the Great Company class was and from whence they originated this so as to determine for ourselves once and for all if our friends the Jehovah’s Witnesses fit...

    Are the Jehovah’s Witnesses the Great Company? Part 8

    We continue with what the apostle Paul was speaking about concerning those whose work would be burned up. “Deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.” (1 Cor 5:5) Who was the Apostle referring to here when he states...

    Are the Jehovah’s Witnesses the Great Company? Part 7

    “Each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. If anyone’s work which he has built on it (the one true foundation) endures, he will receive a reward. If anyone’s work is burned, he...

    Are the Jehovah’s Witnesses the Great Company? Part 6

    Continued from our previous post. It is apparent that some fell to produce the fruits necessary in order to make their calling and election sure because they fell to abide in the Lord, rather they allow the cares of this world, jobs, family, friends, ambitions and etc. to draw them away, and so...

    Are the Jehovah’s Witnesses the Great Company? Part 5

    In the Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins (Matt 25) our Lord mentions that both the wise AND the foolish were considered “virgins” what does this imply, what makes them all virgins? They are virgins in that they have been sanctified by God, made holy and acceptable to Him through the...

    Are the Jehovah’s Witnesses the Great Company? Part 4

    Who specifically was the Apostle referring to here (beside himself), when speaking of being a “castaway” (1 Cor 9:27)? I believe the answer to the first part of this question is found in the Apostles opening address to this Epistle. “To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are...

    Are the Jehovah’s Witnesses the Great Company? Part 3

    Thus far we believe we have established, 1) that the typical Levites represented a class of individuals separate and distinct from the rest of the world, separated (i.e., sanctified, set apart) by God, and 2) that unlike the rest of mankind they are to receive no inheritance in the land, (that...

    Are the Jehovah’s Witnesses the Great Company? Part 2

    In Exodus Chapter 12 we read of the institution of the Passover. “The term Passover signifies to pass by or spare from an affliction. When the last plague was visited upon Egypt, the houses of the Israelite's were all marked with the blood of a slain lamb, that the destroying angel might not...

    Are the Jehovah’s Witnesses the Great Company? Part 1

    "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees (Doctors of the Law then, now days referred to as Doctors of Divinity), you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven (the spiritual or heavenly phase of the kingdom) in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are...

    Jehovah’s Witnesses views on Armageddon and Second Death, Part 8

    Once again returning to our previous questions in regards to Armageddon. Although we are certain that many shall perish during the final climatic struggle between the old order and the new thankfully the Scriptures assure us that none of these shall see Second Death that is until first, they...

    Jehovah’s Witnesses views on Armageddon and Second Death, Part 7

    “What the Apostle calls the just and the unjust, our Lord in our text calls the good and the evil. That neither the Lord nor the Apostle meant to intimate that any of mankind are good, perfect in the absolute sense, is most evident from the trend of the Scriptures, which assure us in various...
