context-- luke 10:8-20

8If you enter a town and they welcome you, eat whatever is set before you. 9Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God is near you.’
10But if you enter a town and they do not welcome you, go into the streets and declare, 11‘Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet, we wipe off as a testimony against you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God is near.’ 12I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.
13Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 14But it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you.
15And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to heaven? No, you will be brought down to Hades!
16Whoever listens to you listens to Me; whoever rejects you rejects Me; and whoever rejects Me rejects the One who sent Me.”
17The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in Your name.”
18So He told them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19Behold, I have given you authority to tread on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will harm you. 20Nevertheless, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”


Are you saying that your leaders are same those people?
Do you bring the same message or a new gospel of 1914?
When you see Babylon the great fall- Run to Jehovah and beg for mercy.

Yes false prophets who advise all to seek Jesus' righteousness first-Why? Because they do not listen to Jesus who teaches his true followers to seek Jehovah's righteousness first.
Be careful there Keiw. Jesus Christ is the very righteousness of God.

And the REAL Jesus teaches to seek Jehovah's righteousness first. And all the true followers do just that.

Believe Jesus who teaches--John 17:3=The one who sent him=Father=Jehovah is THE ONLY TRUE GOD.--You see it means ones eternal life to know that fact.

I got out my old JW bible to quote- Jo 17:3
This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.

that translation is not correct- I dont use my Jw bible anymore. I used it up til about 2000. There are a lot of errors in it. Taking in knowledge about someone and knowing someone are 2 very different things. Agree?
This is what the Greek says-

John 17:3 This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.
I believe that. ---We need to know the Father and Son for eternal life.

John believed that too-
1 John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

If we are in Christ we are in the true God. We cant separate them. We cant know the Father without knowing His son. It's impossible.
So, are you saying to know the Father we must be in His Son, Jesus Christ for righteousness?

The only way one can know someone is by taking in knowledge of them. 1John 5:20 is calling he that is true the true God, not Jesus.
Trinity religions teach a false Jesus, thus they are not in him.

Keiw, you always go off the rails to the trinity. it gets so old. You know people that embrace the trinity dont give it 1/10000 of the attention to it that you do.
I know you're obsessed with it, but it's not in the scriptures that "Michaels impersonal life-force was put into mary's ovum."
See what I'm saying? kettle-pot.. so stop..
back to the topic at hand.
We are talking about righteousness and being in Christ. Let's just try to stay on topic.
Taking in knowledge is not the same as knowing.
Anyone can read and take in knowledge about someone. you can read all day long about someone and not know them. It is not the same thing at all.
Anyway--- this conversation is going nowhere.
Is Christ in you? Do you know Him? Why do you think you are righteous before God?

Oh keiw, it's always the same.. why did you bring up the trinity? it gets so old. You know people that embrace the trinity dont give it 1/10000 of the attention to it that you do.
I know you're obsessed with it, but it's also not in the scriptures that Michaels impersonal life-force was put into mary's ovum.

righteousness-
i dont think taking in knowledge is the same as knowing someone. I can read all day about someone and not know them. So how does taking in knowledge make you righteous?
You are right- 98% of all the religions read about Jehovah-yet do not know him. This is why-2Cor 4:4

Yes, those who believe obey Him. --- We are coming at this from opposite ends.
You think what we need to do is become Jws and obey what JW governing body tells us = righteousness. Agree?
Keiw stated, "Jesus is only with JW's".

No. Not a JW.

Just a Christian.
JLB
He is our righteousness; He is the source of our righteousness.
JLB, yes, that was obvious by your replies.
A JW would never answer that way. They have a righteousness of their own- thru works as a JW.
nice to meet u.

The Governing Body even TRASHED their own NWT bible. Almost sounds like they think they are Gods.

Well, Yes, they are very special people whom God only speaks with. He gives them their food at the proper time. We are waiting for Him to show them Romans 6. sigh. Oh and Literal FOOD too. Have you see this?

IF this doesnt make you QUESTION- Nothing will!!
