Dear
@RR144 and fellow Christian Believers:
Before we pursue rebuke of JW based on points that are in error,
can we first focus on points we share in common, and pray in Jesus
in agreement for the rest of the conflicts to be corrected in Christ?
Where JW are teaching something valuable and helpful to Christians and others:
1. Teaching that the 6 DAYS of Creation represent STAGES or EPOCHS, instead of
limiting and defining the works of God the Creator of Life to "man's" terms of "earth days."
While God may indeed have created all things spontaneously within "6 earth days"
it makes more sense to leave this open for God's operations to transcend man's sense of time and space,
being infite and eternal while man is finite in perception and scope.
2. Warning and abstaining from influence by "occult or dark forces" (including
spiritism, sorcery, spells and curses, and demonic activity).
3. Believing in "Baptizing all Nations in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit."
(Where by John 10:29-30 we agree that both the Father is greater than all, including
greater than the Son, while Jesus the Son and the Father are ONE. Both are true
at the same time, and both Christians and JW can agree on this Scriptures.)
If we can start with uniting on these three areas, and correcting as much as possible
from there, we can invite the governance and guidance of God through Jesus
to address and correct all the other areas of conflict and error to follow from there.
"Wherever 2 or 3 gather and agree" in prayer in Christ Jesus Authority,
this opens the door to receive and establish God's will and truth that
sets us free from oppression, strife and ignorance, sin and suffering from it.
In Jesus name, I join in support of forgiveness and correction in
Christ Jesus, that we may follow and fulfill:
Matthew 6:14-15
Matthew 5:44
James 5:16
Matthew 18:15-20*
and the Scriptures to remove the beams (or biases) from our own eyes
that we may better help our neighbor remove theirs.
May God richly bless and uplift you all this New Year, multiplying the gifts
and rewards of the spirit in abundance, and empty cups of past problems
that these may be filled to overflowing with blessings of our future
as children in the Kingdom of God reconciled in Christ Jesus.
Thank you and Amen!
* As for rebukes between JW and Christians, since JW believer only their members are true Witnesses,
not Christians they consider false, I offer that we go to the JW elders with these three points of
AGREEMENT and ask to resolve these first, make sure we agree we are on the same page as much
as possible. After that, we can proceed to address areas of disagreement I believe will clear up the rest:
A. disagreeing on what practices of spiritual healing and deliverance
are "demonic or spiritism" and what is natural medical therapy that even secular science can establish
as the way the mind/body operate naturally.
B. issues with "God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit" being taught
in "other terms" such as "Trinity" or "Active Force" that are not literally in the Bible either
but are Explanations or Descriptions of how God relates to man as mind, body and spirit in the image of God.
C. Using medical science and proof that "occult or dark energy" practices are harmful and dangerous
to human mental and physical health, so we can unite in public education to stop criminal abuse
and addiction caused by these energies infecting and oppressing people.
We may not agree yet on spiritual healing and deliverance prayers,
but if science can prove that FORGIVENESS correlates with healing,
and the effects on physical, mental and criminal illness are PROPORTIONAL
to the degrees of FORGIVENESS that people are able to achieve and receive,
then we can use this scientific research and proof not only to reconcile between
Christians and JW but also help Nontheists and Atheists who question the
teaching that Christ Jesus Authority is the only way to overcome the most
severe conditions of sickness, including dangerous and deadly predatory criminal
disorders. God gave us secular science for good reason, to help us understand
our world and appreciate the laws of nature. Why can't we unite between Christians,
JW and also Atheists to use medical science to prove that the process of
Deliverance based on forgiveness can break through generational patterns
and help people with recovery and cure from mental, physical and social ills?
Thank you and I join you in prayer for unity this year
to receive and fulfill the governance of Jesus as
God's divine, perfect Authority of Justice universally
over all laws and lords under His dominion.
Colossians 1:16
