David, that doesn't apply to the majority of Jehovah's Witnesses. They don't profess to be anointed with the Holy Spirit, that privilege has been denied them, and told by their Governing Body that their hope is to live forever on earth. Since they don't have the spirit that leads to all Truth...

You're not paying attention Keiw. So read carefully ... I'll write real slow .... Say, I am a member of the local congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses, Romans 8:16, 17 kicks in. I am now an heir, a member of the Little Flock, can I now evoke 1 Timothy 3 and declare myself an elder, who is now...

All this talk about conservatives and liberals. Trump and Harris, good vs evil. Democrats vs Republicans. Let me ask; did Jesus ever talk politics, did he take sides? Remember when Satan offered him ALL the kingdoms of the world? What did Jesus do? He refused, telling him: “Away with you...

I just quoted four translations (not counting the NWT) that render Matthew 24:3 as PRESENCE, how is your statement that there is only one "unequivocally true"?

That still doesn't answer the question Keiw. Say, I am a member of the local congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses, Romans 8:16, 17 kicks in. I am now an heir, a member of the Little Flock, can I now evoke 1 Timothy 3 and declare myself an elder, who is now taking the lead? Why or why not?

"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me" John 10:27 Many are professing to be the true sheep of the Lord's flock, but in this day of the Shepherd's presence His voice, the Truth, becomes the test. We now hear various voices calling the sheep in various directions, as never...

Really? How does he do that? Does He come down from his throne and say "I appoint, you, you and you!"? Does a brother just stand up one day and say, "Jesus told me I am an elder now and will take the lead"?

Really? Maybe you should do more research. And when he is sitting on the mount of the Olives, the disciples came near to him by himself, saying, `Tell us, when shall these be? and what [is] the sign of thy presence, and of the full end of the age?' - Young Literal Translation 1898 Afterwards...

Hmmmm ... The Greek word translated “coming” is parousia. It really means “presence.” The following dictionaries (standard works in fundamentalist and evangelical bookstores) confirm this definition of presence. W. E. Vine’ s EXPOSITORY DICTIONARY OF NEW TESTAMENT WORDS: “Parousia...

Jesus also stated: “If your hand or foot causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the everlasting fire." - Matthew 18:8 Are we to take this literally? If so, why aren't...

and who appoints these taking the lead?

Luke 10:16 is speaking of the 70 sent out to preach. Hebrews 13:17 is speaking of the elders in the congregation.

That's not what I asked. How do YOU know him if YOU'RE NOT spirit-begotten? The fact is that you don't know because you depend on the Governing Body aka Slave Class to tell you what to believe. So how do you know if what they are teaching you is Truth?

That's not true, they have their own Kool-Aid

How do you know Him if you're NOT spirit-begotten?

Even if they did accept the deity of Christ, they are still NOT spirit-filled Christians. As they are taught that ONLY 144,000 are begotten of the holy Spirit. The rank-and-file do not profess to be anointed with holy Spirit.

Did you even look at what I posted or did you just disregard it because it doesn't line up with your thinking?

Yes, Isaiah 9:6 gives our Savior the title, “The mighty God.” But the Jewish writers were not saying that the Messiah would literally be Jehovah. If judges of Israel were called “gods,” as in Ps. 82:1-7, what would be earthshaking about calling Jesus the “mighty God” (Hebrew, ‘El Gib-bohr’)...

When individuals leave the Jehovah's Witness organization for conscience reasons, it is evidence that God is shepherding and protecting the flock by doing a sifting work. When people leave another Christian religion it is evidence that the religion is morally corrupt and unable or unwilling to...

"Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God." - 1 Corinthians 1:21 Are you spirit-begotten, anointed with the holy Spirit, a member of the body of Christ ... shall I go on?
