If you do not like... CHRISTENDOM, then WHY are you HERE ON A CHRISTIAN FORUM??

If I was admin, you'd be banned immediately just for making that above statement, so you should be glad I'm not the admin. here.


BEWARE BRETHREN OF THOSE WHO SPEAK AGAINST CHRISTENDOM:
It's easy to come here and just put the Christian label on one's avatar, but some that come here are NOT true Christians, but come here to push chaos and HATRED against Christianity!
“True Christians”… nice phrase.
True Christians will not support the killing of their brothers in other lands (John 13:34,35). Or anyone. - Matthew 5:44

And yet, that is what the majority of Christendom has done since their inception, with Constantine the Great!

As Christians, we should be hated by the world (John 15:19,20), for this very reason! Certainly not join the world, ie., be “of the world”, during its wars, supporting such endeavors!

What’s the history here?

Catholic historian E. I. Watkin acknowledged: “Painful as the admission must be, we cannot in the interest of a false edification or dishonest loyalty deny or ignore the historical fact that Bishops have consistently supported all wars waged by the government of their country. I do not know in fact of a single instance in which a national hierarchy has condemned as unjust any war . . . Whatever the official theory, in practice ‘my country always right’ has been the maxim followed in wartime by Catholic Bishops.”

(Is it painful? It should be if we have an honest heart.)

But it’s not just been Catholics…

Protestant clergyman Harry Emerson Fosdick admitted: “Even in our churches we have put the battle flags . . . With one corner of our mouth we have praised the Prince of Peace and with the other we have glorified war.”

What does James 1:27 mean? To “keep oneself without spot from the world”?

i don’t say this to spite, or to hurt; just to open the eyes of those who are honest & humble. At 2 Corinthians 6:17,18, Paul quotes God as saying, “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.”

And I’m sure that God doesn’t put blame on the flocks who are misled. But rather, their leaders the clergy. They should know better.

There are many Christians who are obedient to Christ.


A former JW has told me that the JWs secretly hate Christians
This is a lie!

We love all people, and just hate the ways they are misled.

It’s one reason why we go from door to door, following Christ’s example (Matthew 10:12,13; Acts 5:42), spending our time and gas. Yeah, we get a lot of doors slammed in our faces.

“A former JW”… that says it all!
(I appreciate your honesty with that.)

Sadly, you and I are not moderators. JWs refer to Christians as antichrists. Why are they here? to convert, to deceive and to bring people who are vulnerable to PM to twist them further. JWs must count their time in the filed in order to be JWs in "good standing". I know that recently, they reduced the amount of hours required of them, but it doesn't seem to have stopped these wacko diehards like Aunty Jane and TheHC.
There are JW only forums- but they won't go to those. We cant even read there- it's all secretive. You would think they would enjoy their partners in crime, but there is no time given to them there. No they don't belong here. I think they agree with one thing on the SOF here. all have sinned. that's it. These are people who deny Christ at every turn. Be careful though- they are not truthful about what they teach.

Yeah, I see them more aligned with the Jew's religion Judaism instead of Christianity. So it's no wonder they hate Christendom.

Can you please not reply to multiple people in the same post? It makes things confusing. I saw the notification of your reply to me and clicked on it and it brought me to your post. At first, I thought your reply to the other person was to me and I was confused as I had never said anything to you about "True Christians".

Anyway, what does it matter that it's a former JW who told me that JWs secretly hate Christians or non-JWs? That doesn't mean the person doesn't know what they are talking about. Tell me, do you think anyone besides JWs are saved and will inherit eternal life?

Pharisees. No doubt. but worse. Is that possible? yes..
We have the scriptures now, and we know Jesus was crucified and our sins are washed away by His precious blood, ONLY.
There is no such thing as making a payment by dying to be released from your sins, so that by dying you paid your debt and are sin-free..
Wages of sin is death = getting what you deserve. It is God paying sinners their due wage.
They twist Ro 6 so badly that they think when they die physically they paid for their own sins by dying----! and that Jesus only bought them resurrections to life- for people who pay for their own sins by dying.
Those JWs left on earth for Great trib and Armageddon will have to survive those without sinning and pass the final test -no sins- then they earn eternal life. No forgiveness. No grace. To them- grace is a chance to be resurrected if alive, and free one if you died.
They have no excuse. They lie about the scriptures and call Christians antichrists.
NO FORGIVENESS of OUR sins. They utterly deny Jesus at every turn.- even after they know how He died!
Even Worse than a Pharisee? Up to God. I know this, they will die in their sins if they don't accept Christ.

That is nothing less than blasphemy. No one can pay the price for their own sins! That's what Satan wants people to believe. Only the blood of Christ can cover our sins.

They are so deceived. It's just unbelievable.
AND yet.. they have the audacity to call me a liar, a Judas, a slanderer, etc.. they accuse me of lying about what they teach.. blah blah blah... Baloney. lol
They do not counter me with anything but bluster, while at the same time repeating the same false teaching. LOL Then they deny it again. They type words so that you have to guess- unclear and deceptive purposefully. When they read what they teach in simple English they call it a lie. It's hilarious and sad at once. When they see what they teach in simple terms vs the scripture even they are so shocked that they then attack the messenger. THIS IS deception pure and simple. They will say " WE teach Jesus died for our sins!!! NOOO they certainly do not!
They will keep arguing, yet never address the real issue when it is clearly shown to them with clear scripture. There is a a heavy blinding going on.
it's a total waste of my time and energy. I do this FOR OTHERS to expose JWs & inoculate them against their lies..
JWs even lure questioning / confused people into PMs. A Mod actually suggested that to them! --- There is no way to expose them that way. Unreal. "Christian" boards-- it is NOT.

First of all, according to Matthew 24:13 and other passages, no one is saved until they endure “to the end.”

To answer your question re: inheriting everlasting life: no, not just JW’s. The prospect will be open to untold billions, when the *future* Resurrection comes. - John 6:39,40,44; Acts 24:15.


And “Armageddon (God’s war) will destroy only the incorrigibly wicked” Excerpt from 2011WT, 9/1 issue, pg.10

Revelation 7:9 says a “great crowd” survives this system’s destruction. Who does that include? We don’t specifically know. Only Jehovah and Jesus can read hearts.

You can deal with me, since you can fool me. i know what you teach. They dont and they don't want to go to you lying website. Hilarious how you peddle the website not that the leaders have told you to. Online is perfect for them since they change their own history over and over in their many many books that take precedence over the bible - I have some of those older books. a new edition comes out and changes things without a peep. incredible. But now with the Internet - gee poof and delete. scammers scam.
No You are no follower of Christ at all. You don't teach the gospel once delivered to the saints. Your little men have even had to admit they have a different one-! They don't care and you don't care.
You know the warning about bringing a new or different gospel in the scriptures- I have given it to you enough!
A follower of Christ is born anew. You admit you are not! You reject the blood of Christ as payment for your sins!
This is like a demented cartoon.

Maybe a few- how would you know the truth? Judicial hearings are private. how many DF'd for blood transfusion? How many for reporting child rape by an elder? how may for celebrating their child's birthday and baking a cake? how many for wearing a cross? How many for saying I do not believe that Jesus returned invisibly in 1914? How many for not agreeing with teaching that is clearly false from the SCRIPTURES?
SHALL I GO ON? Tell us me why they DF unrepentant anything since their sins will be paid for by DYING? AND you tell them that bad deeds in this life don't really matter??? Can you please answer that absurdity?
First of all, according to Matthew 24:13 and other passages, no one is saved until they endure “to the end.”
Wrong. We are saved now we are being saved and we will be saved. Read your bible as a whole will ya? haha quit with the same ole JW rote memorized cherry picked robotic verses. Sometime I'm going to count them. I thinking 15 verses or so?
To answer your question re: inheriting everlasting life: no, not just JW’s. The prospect will be open to untold billions, when the *future* Resurrection comes. - John 6:39,40,44; Acts 24:15.
Uhhhh Not Adam- right? He's dead forever just like Jesus is forever dead according to JWs- and who else? oh boy-- your teachers have a list. I specifically recall in my books where it said Christians will be slaughtered during Great Trib. And Especially those who heard your new and different gospel and told you Paul warned about people who bring a new gospel.. (let them be accursed)
Best I recall it was only people who never heard your fake gospel so they can be resurrected so that you can teach them for 1000 years.
Oh man, this is too much!
And as the doublespeakers they are- they also offered a.. well only Jehovah know hearts

And “Armageddon (God’s war) will destroy only the incorrigibly wicked” Excerpt from 2011WT, 9/1 issue, pg.10
There goes those idol worshipping Christian antichrists!

HAHAHAHAHA!! You just said it.. HAHAHAHAHA!! you are tooo tooo much. I hadn't read that before I started typing ! HAHAHAHAHA!!
. rank and file JWs are the great crowd. why? because they are "the other sheep: of John 10:16. Another false teaching.. it just doesnt end.

Sin leads to death…
Only faith in Christ’s sacrifice leads to life!

The sin-atoning value of Jesus’s perfect blood redeems us from death!


Don’t let this Jehovah-hater mislead you with twisted words!
Read the link below…

Only the blood of Christ can cover our sins.
Exactly! We say nothing less!


Through Jesus’ sacrificial death, God makes it possible for us to have forgiveness of sins, and a clean conscience…

Who did Jesus worship?
Do you just play dumb or are you this thick HC?
How many times must you be answered in detail and then run away? doesn't that even bother you?
Have a looksse once more at this one-- You say the Word of God is a creature- God's created first angel. You deny Hebrews clearly says Jesus is no angel. But of course you deny that. Doesn't fit the narrative.
it's also ignored that JWs used to worship Jesus until 1954. WHICH means when Jesus supposedly inspected and chose JWs as best and only religion in 1919~~ they were worshiping Jesus and continued for 35 more years. Riddle me that one. Don't you think that horrid idolatry would have been #1 on Jesus' list to correct them on? So why didn't He? Anyway, have a look at this. Creature? No.

Look - EVERY CREATURE in heaven, earth, and under the earth, the sea- praising and giving glory to?
Look at those elders.. what are they doing? Does that say "obeisance" in your bible? If not they need to "fix' that one too. OR do they worship God & the Lamb? Tell the truth. No one is that blind.

:
Revelation 5:6-10
And I heard
every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying: “To Him who sits on the throne AND to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power forever and ever!”
“Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing.”
And every created thing which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all things in them, I heard saying, “To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, be blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever.” And the four living creatures kept saying, “Amen.” And the elders fell down and
worshiped.



:oops: please stop believing lies.

2 Timothy 2:24…
“For a slave of the Lord does not need to fight, but needs to be gentle toward all, qualified to teach, showing restraint when wronged…”

At this point, to keep restraint, I have to avoid a sad individual.

If anyone has questions about JW’s I suggest you peruse JW.org , or PM me. JW.org would be faster. I’m taking a break.

Take care, all my cousins.

Read the link below…
YOU are really something. You know very well that you admitted it the other day, and so has Keiw- and Aunty Jane- and my JW family- and your own literature ALL SAY that YOUR PHYSICAL death pays for your sin debt and you so you willl be auto- resurrected (thanks to Jesus) since you have paid your sin debt by DYING. . You are a disgrace to lie about your own false teaching!
Something has to be done about this person who continues lying and misleading people. So how about we untangle this DECEPTIVE WORDING?!
Exactly! We say nothing less!
This a just a flat out lie HC? How do you sleep at night? You certainly do say something much less!
Are you now going to deny that just yesterday you admitted that when my JW father died that his sins were paid for by his dying?
Suddenly you've thrown Ro 6:7 & 23 out the window? REALLY? This deception now, is so wicked that I'm not sure what goes on in your brain. You need help. So just as Aunty Jane tried to pull on Brakelight last night--- you are now saying it! You people just never stop twisting and transforming yourselves. -- SO NOW- you have your death is payment for your sins AND Jesus blood. Does Jesus need your help? Did He just pick up the slack you left when you died to pay for your own sins? You & Jane never stop stooping.
Through Jesus’ sacrificial death, God makes it possible for us to have forgiveness of sins, and a clean conscience…
and here we have the rest--- I will translate that for you- Jesus' blood ONLY bought a resurrection for those who have died because their sins were paid for BY DYING. Don't you dare LIE to these people.
You teach that the wages of sin is death means that you have made the payment for your sins.
You cant comprehend that the wage God pays is death to sinners. He PAYS the Wage. It what you are owed. It is God paying YOU. OR ( the rest of the verse you ignore) The gift God gives is life. You pick death or LIFE IN CHRIST born again, There is NO other way. One way leads to death. One way lead to LIFE. You hate me because I tell you the truth!
don't put those links on here again. NO one want to read their lies and doublespeak that you are now offering up. JWs remind me of Cain. You offer your dead bodies as payment for your own sins. Then you turn around and lie and call us antichrists because we only offer Jesus' BLOOD.

If you wanted to know the truth about Jesus, would you ask Judas?
Actually, I didn't word that right and the person corrected me on that. They were not officially a JW, but used to interact with JWs and listened to their teachings and so on for years, but they did not get baptized as part of their organization in order to officially become a JW. That wasn't made clear to me before.

First of all, according to Matthew 24:13 and other passages, no one is saved until they endure “to the end.”
In a sense, sure. But, there is another sense in which we can say we are saved now, which is in the sense that someone now is submitted to Christ and belongs to Him. How do you interpret this passage:

Ephesians 2:4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,

In this passage Paul talks in past tense about God having "MADE us alive with Christ even when we WERE dead in transgressions" and he said in relation to that "it is by grace you HAVE BEEN SAVED" (past tense). So, there is a sense in which those of us who belong to Christ are saved right now, but it's also true that one must endure to the end to be saved in the end.

To answer your question re: inheriting everlasting life: no, not just JW’s. The prospect will be open to untold billions, when the *future* Resurrection comes. - John 6:39,40,44; Acts 24:15.
This is absolutely false. Those verses come nowhere near saying that. That prospect is open NOW to untold billions. NOW is the time of salvation. TODAY is the day of salvation...RIGHT NOW...because tomorrow, or even the next moment in time, may not come. You have been deceived. Once you die there are NO second chances. That is a lie from the pit of hell.

2 Corinthians 6:
As God’s co-workers we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain. 2 For he says, “In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation.

Hebrews 9:27 Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment,

John 5:28 “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29 and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned.

Daniel 12:2 Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt.

And “Armageddon (God’s war) will destroy only the incorrigibly wicked” Excerpt from 2011WT, 9/1 issue, pg.10
What?! You need to take your "2011WT, 9/1 issue" and throw it in the trash because it contradicts what the text actually says.

Revelation 19:17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, “Come, gather together for the great supper of God, 18 so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and the mighty, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, great and small.”

Does "all people, free and slave, great and small" seem like "only the incorrigibly wicked" to you? The text makes no distinction between their wickedness, but your useless ""2011WT, 9/1 issue" does. I know I am being harsh here, but it's directed towards the doctrine and not to you personally. When I see something that so clearly contradicts scripture, I believe I have the right to condemn it for the false teaching that it so clearly is.

Revelation 7:9 says a “great crowd” survives this system’s destruction. Who does that include? We don’t specifically know. Only Jehovah and Jesus can read hearts.
Yes, we don't know that for sure, but what we do know is that it includes anyone who has genuinely repented of their sins and put their trust in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior while understanding that we are saved by God's grace through faith and NOT by works or our own righteousness.
