Aunty Jane said “I would give you a list but I am not allowed to speak about such things here..”. The issues brought up in the links I posted are not part of the banned topics
And if I gave you a reply to every one of those issues that you gleaned from hate sites, what would it prove.....? You wouldn't believe me anyway.
If the son of God got 'bad press' what do you think he meant when he said we would receive the same reception...? (John 15:18-21)
Are you just fulfilling prophesy? We will all know soon enough.....
Well perhaps a slight adjustment in what that actually means to us instead of how you interpret it.....
We are not label wearers, so what we call ourselves is what we are....Witnesses for Jehovah....Israel were called Jehovah's Witnesses...did you know that? (Isaiah 43:10)
Jesus identified himself as "the Faithful Witness" (Rev 3:14).....one who bears testimony about Jehovah and his Kingdom. It isn't that we believe that only those who belong to the modern organization known as "Jehovah's Witnesses" will be saved, but all who proved themselves to be such, both past present and future.
Label wearers even in our own brotherhood, if they are not living up to their dedication and baptism, will not make the cut.
JWs aren’t the only ones who believe that way
If we believe that we alone teach the truth, when the divided churches of Christendom can't agree on much at all except their core beliefs of the trinity, immortality of the soul, and hellfire.....and then actually claim that all will be save because at least they have those things in common, are IMO, in for a rude shock since their core beliefs are all adopted from paganism.....never taught by God's son in the first place...
If the "wheat" have to be separated from the "weeds" at the "harvest time", how will Jesus judge us? He said we had to be found "doing the will of the Father" otherwise those claiming Christ as their "Lord" will find out that the Christianity they practiced was nothing of the sort. (Matt 7:21-23) It isn't that he does not claim them as his own, but that he has NEVER known them from day one.
The separation has to be very obvious since we are at 'the time of the harvest' right now....just as the fake wheat was clearly discernible from the genuine wheat only at the harvest time....look for those who are different to all the rest, because they will be out doing what Christ commanded.....(Matt 28:19-20; Matt 24:14) preaching one global message to a global audience, who will treat the messengers exactly like they treated Christ and his disciples (John 15:18-21)....and "just like the days of Noah". (Matt 24:37-39) The people are taking no notice of the warning.
Christendom bears little to no resemblance to the Christianity that Jesus and his apostles started.....but it was prophesied by Jesus himself that this would happen....yet Christendom's churches cannot see, or continue to deny that the foretold apostasy ever happened....they are all birthed from the same 'mother'....and the 'daughters' took most of their mother's dirty laundry with them when they left 'home'. Does that mean that the daughters are less guilty than the one who taught them the lies that they accept as truth to this day? We have less excuse now than ever....vast amounts of information are freely available to all of us, that was not easily accessed in times past. If we have never looked 'outside the box'......we will never know the truth. It's all there if we have open eyes....and more importantly, an open heart.
So even if you honestly believe that what you hold is the absolute truth, it will be of no value if Christ denies ever knowing you.
There is one truth, and only one group of people have it.....all are taught by the "faithful and wise servant" appointed by Jesus to feed his household spiritual "food" at the proper time (Matt 24:45).....these will be a hated minority...not a 'believe whatever you wish' majority.
'God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put the wise to shame'......Jehovah will reveal his truth to those in whose heart he sees the qualities he is looking for. (John 6:65)
