Just for clarification again.....
I dont belong to a Denomination.
There are no denominations in Heaven.
Indeed, there are no denominations in heaven...but thousands of them on earth....proven by the “labels” they wear to distinguish them from other label wearers.
Pass by a cemetery and see that Christendom’s churches are divided even in death!

What label did Jesus’ first century followers wear? There was only one.
My church is not in America or in England or in Europe, as in these locations, everyone is in a Denomination.....(almost).
Whereas in Israel, my church is a Local Assembly, of born again Christians.
So, Israel is the only place I will find your “church”? And it is an assembly of “born again Christians”....who said?
How are you aligned with what had to become a global faith, that was to be preached in all nations? Where are you in that definition? An isolated pocket of like minded people makes you a cult.
And because there are many people who have transplanted into Israel from different countries since '1967......then this church is fortunate to have many who are not originally born in the Middle East.
How is that an advantage?
If you came to visit and you dont speak Hebrews, then we offer you a set of headphones, and a person translates the entire service for you as you sit there and listen.
Our meetings are held in every nation on earth, speaking thousands of languages and dialects, as our brotherhood is global.....the assignment Jesus gave included a witness “to the most distant part of the earth”....where is your isolated group in that assignment? Who has ever heard of you?
How are you to be “hated and persecuted by the world” if no one knows who you are? (John 15:18-21)

You always say the same thing over and over., yet you are unable to prove it.
Well, don’t look now, but you are not big on proof yourself.....you seldom use Scripture, and when you do it is twisted to suit your own theology....yet you point fingers at me.....and others.
Sure , you can quote verses, and then bend them into JW theology.
But that is all you can do.
At least I know what I am talking about...what is it that you do?
You are so focused on being “born again” and sending people to the fires of an “eternal hell” that you can’t see past those errors which seem to form the basis for all you believe.
Where is the “good news” from you?
If someone is born again, then they are the body of Christ, the " NT church"
Being born again is the only literal proof a person has become a Christian.
This is why Jesus told you that you "MUST be born again"... before you die.
What proof can you offer for that fact that you cannot prove anything to anyone?
Do you know how many people claim to be “born again” but who clearly have no idea of what it means in real life? Can one be “born again” and not know the role that they have been “chosen” for?
If you are not born again, then You're not a Chrisitan.
See, a Christian would know this.....
You dont.
LOL.....I love it when you use the word “see” because it is obvious to me that you are blind.

As Jesus said..... “Every plant which My heavenly Father did not plant shall be uprooted. Let them alone; they are blind guides of the blind. And if a blind man guides a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” (Matt 15:13-14 NASB)
We can have confidence and be grateful that Jesus knows the difference. We may not.

A heretic is person who teaches false theology that pretends its "scriptural".
They can be a Christian, or they can be a religious person who is pretending to be a Christian.
And of course that could never apply to you..... :ummm:
I only teach Pauline Theology.
You would not recognize it, because your cult is not "OF" Paul's Doctrine that is the NT doctrine for the Chruch, that is taught by Paul.
Well, personally I prefer to accept the teachings of Jesus Christ, which is all that Paul wrote, so how is it a separate “theology” in your religion?
"""There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus."""
I don’t think you have any idea what that means....because these are all conditions of the flesh.....only when the “chosen ones” (who will be “born again” at their resurrection), attain to their heavenly assignment so that those words will then be a reality. They apply in a spiritual sense now, but then, as spirit beings, it will be literal. They will no longer be confined to earthly conditions...like nationality or gender.
You can't hearl the spiritual because you are just very religious., and indoctrined by JW theology.
Whose “indoctrination” are you espousing? Are you not also “very religious” not to mention sanctimonious and judgmental? Who appointed you as the arbiter of what is truth?
What makes you so special?
All of it, is the Bible i believe.
But i only Teach Pauline Theology.

What is that?
Its all the doctrine for the Chruch.
Paul did not teach a different doctrine.....if you think so, then you are not a student of God’s word...you are a victim of your own flawed theology. Paul taught what Jesus taught.....Paul just had a different assignment to which his background and education contributed to its success. The other apostles were still carrying out their assignment too. Peter was the first one sent to the Gentiles and Paul was the follow up to that.

It was to Peter that Jesus said “feed my sheep”. Why place Paul on a pedestal that Jesus never did?

I belong to the same faith as @Aunty Jane we can support or beliefs by reading Jesus and the Apostles words alone.
laughing2.gif
If the JWs keep telling themselves this over and over and over.... eventually they'll believe their own error.


Our foundation of beliefs is explained by Jesus and the Apostles

No, they did not teach the things the JW cult teaches.

Just like the catholics and the calvinists, the JWs have to twist scripture and ignore large portions of scripture to hold their position.



Yep... Russell and Co. are your theological filter.

Yep, they are required to believe what they are told to believe

Otherwise the JWs will give them the left foot of fellowship in short order.

There are some really good books out written by people who escaped from the JW cult

The things of the spirit are strange because it defies the flesh, I have always believed that through Christ anything is possible and many say this as well but do we truly believe it?
Do you see people performing miracles? are our prayers requests or are the assurance?
I haven't seen many miracles and I have spoken with many Christians about this but few can actually say they saw the hand of God or a miracle or divine intervention

Then there are the cessationalists who outright deny that the spiritual gifts are for today and for the most part they seem to be right because you don't see many Christians who truly walk in the spirit whose presence can be felt when entering a room or who lays on hands and heals someone.

Even prayer for that matter seems to be a I hope he answers kind of thing it is not like when Jesus prayed or when he performed miracles he was assured he was confident he made his request but even just creating all that fish and bread as he did he seemed assured he would recieve it.

There is however another side to this, there are some believers one whom I even got to be in the presence of who are full of the spirit like I mean you can feel them just by being near them there is life in them and there are some believers out there who can actually lay on hands and heal or pray and be assured they will recieve

So what makes the difference I wonder? what makes one believer spiritually rich while the rest are just kind of well not?
Here is my answer to the original question, which is quite a good question.

There are varying degrees of revelation that people have been granted. Some have a high level of revelation because they sought the kingdom and it was revealed to them. This spiritual edification, the fruit of the spirit, shows itself as that 'spiritual' glow or the real spiritual nature that empowers the saints. It's the same power it as always been, because God is no respecter of persons (Romans 2:11).

These people go around doing good, bearing injustice, praying for the sick, healing people of various problems, preaching, and creating good wherever they go. They are real Christians in the true sense of the Christ is living in them. I think that is the difference.

I had a loose ear drum healed, and severe back pain that had been troubling me for a few months vanish in a moment when a stranger was praying for me in a service. In another service my daughters flat feet changed shape, and her pain went away.

Then there is a less powerful brand of believer that embodies a physical world and believes in a spiritual God. The belief is real, but maybe not as sincere or as deep. it produces some fruit, because any faith is enough faith to do something good in your life. God promises salvation to those who believe. But to the degree that the Spirit is actually let in, to that degree it can function. So each of us chooses how closely we will listen for the voice of God and what we will do when he calls us closer.

This happened to me when I started to learn from a preacher by the name of Curry Blake. His free youtube series is solid. I listened to the hours of teaching while I was doing a home construction project. And he brought me to that place of spiritual transformation that I had been seeking. He breaks down in scripture and uses tons of scripture to open our eyes to God's power and how it works.

JGLM or John G Lake ministries is run by Curry Blake in Texas, but he goes all over the world teaching people how to heal and do miracles. He has healed an entire stadium of people who had AIDs in one evening by God's grace and power. He's not proud, he wants to teach everyone do do what he does. it is faith based, and continuing in the tradition of the healing ministry of John G lake from the early 1900's

He has a teaching series called "The new man" that changed my life in these matters. I went from not knowing if healing was possible, to seeing real results when I pray for my family members.

So I have to say that healing is really possible for every believer, it is part of the inheritance of God, part of what was purchased on the cross and on the whipping post (By his stripes we are healed)

Just for clarification again.....

Indeed, there are no denominations in heaven...but thousands of them on earth....proven by the “labels” they wear to distinguish them from other label wearers.

You're label reads....."Jehovah's witness"......so, its foolish to castigate other denominations, when you belong to one of the worst cults on the earth.

Pass by a cemetery and see that Christendom’s churches are divided even in death!

Pass a cemetery and realize that the grave is not the end of your spirit. And if your spirit is not born again before your body goes to the grave, then you'll go to Hell.

What label did Jesus’ first century followers wear? There was only one.

Sometime a Cross.
Sometime a Fish
Sometimes they were called of "the Way".


So, Israel is the only place I will find your “church”?

Yes.
And it is an assembly of “born again Christians”....who said?

Jesus

How are you aligned with what had to become a global faith,

Chrisitanity is a global faith in Christ.

that was to be preached in all nations?

To make disciples, the verse reads in Mark...."Go into all the world and make disciples"..

However, You can be a disciple of Christ and not be a Chrisitan., as to be a Christian, you have to be born again as one.

Where are you in that definition?

Im Born again.

An isolated pocket of like minded people makes you a cult.

IN my Church....We're just born again Christians.
Same as Paul, Jude, ect.

How is that an advantage?

The advantage of not belonging to a denomination????
Is that your question?

Well, all the origianal Christian Churches, were just local assemblies of Believers.
Simple People who were born again, Loved Yeshua, and wanted to serve Him.
Denominations came later, as MEN and Women created them.

Our meetings are held in every nation on earth, speaking thousands of languages and dialects, as our brotherhood is global...

Islam has a globla outreach also........so does "Chrisian Science"... "Scientology",, and other similar Cults.

Well, don’t look now, but you are not big on proof yourself.....you seldom use Scripture,

I use a lot of scripture.
I talk scripture, in "quotes"........vs, cut and pasting.
See, when a person is fluent in the NT, they recognize the scripture when i use them.

...what is it that you do?

What i do is teaching Paul's Doctine, and highlight Heretics on Fourms.

You are so focused on being “born again” and sending people to the fires of an “eternal hell”

Its Jesus who is focused on us being Born again.
I dont expect you to like it, accept it, or know anything about it, and you keep proving me right.

And its Jesus who talks about Hell, more then He taught about Heaven.
You dont like this, but that's on you.
A lot of false denominations are trying to Air Condition Hell, before the move in.

How to you "Alr Condtion" Hell?
You teach that its not real........and that its not related to God's eternal Judgement against Christ Rejectors, who were never born again.

What proof can you offer for that fact that you cannot prove anything to anyone?

I have students all over this world.......some of them are on this Forum.

Do you know how many people claim to be “born again” but who clearly have no idea of what it means in real life?

Many believe they are born again, and are not.

Can one be “born again” and not know the role that they have been “chosen” for?

Sinners are justifed by faith in Christ..... and born again "in Christ"........as "one with God'.

As Jesus said..... “Every plant which My heavenly Father did not plant shall be uprooted.

The blind are those who are religious but lost.
Most are Water baptized but not born again......having no idea that they are dead in their sins, and are still being eternally judged.

John 3:36

Well, personally I prefer to accept the teachings of Jesus Christ, which is all that Paul wrote, so how is it a separate “theology” in your religion?

If you knew what Paul taught, you'll hear what im showing you.
You can't hear it.

I .only when the “chosen ones” (who will be “born again” at their resurrection),

You have to be born again before you die to meet Jesus in the Resurretion of the "Just". The Justified"... those who are "Justified by Faith".....= The CHRISTians..
Otherwise, you'll meet God as eternal Judge, = REV. 20:11

Whose “indoctrination” are you espousing?

I teach Pauline Theology.

Paul's Doctrine.

Are you not also “very religious” not to mention sanctimonious and judgmental?

Im not religiious at all.......and its the NT that judges you...its the words that you speak that judge you.....its Paul's Doctrine that is Christ's Truth that is your judge.

Who appointed you as the arbiter of what is truth?

Jesus is THE Truth.......John 14:6

Im just an eternal part of that as are all the born again.

What makes you so special?

I dont claim to be special.
What i do online, is, i try to help confused Christians find their way out of false doctrine, and i bring heretics to the attention of saved forum members.

The way i do all that, is simply by exectuting Paul's Doctrine on the Forum.

Paul did not teach a different doctrine....

Jesus came to the Jews.......not to the Gentiles.....so, during His ministry, He was not teaching the "church" any Doctrine, as the NT Church didnt exist Yet.

NO CROSS = NO Church
NO New Covenant, = NO Church

So, AfTER The Cross of Christ birthed the NT Coventant and NT Church......>Paul was sent with the "Church Doctrine".
This is why most of the NT Epistles are written by Paul.

.if you think so, then you are not a student of God’s word...you are a victim of your own flawed theology.

I teach Paul's Theology.
You are not familiar with it, because the JW Cult is not a part of His Doctrine.

Paul taught what Jesus taught...

Paul taught as "church" Doctrine......what Jesus personally Taught HIM....= after Jesus was back in Heaven.
Its "doctrine for the Church" and is different then what Christ was teaching the House of Israel (The Jews).. during His ministry.

..Paul just had a different assignment to which his background and education contributed to its success.

Paul's Doctrine, is NT Church Doctrine.

Here is some you need to learn.

Romans 3:21-28

The other apostles were still carrying out their assignment too. Peter was the first one sent to the Gentiles and Paul was the follow up to that.

Peter was not the "Apostle to the gentiles'.....so, this is why he didnt understand "Church" Doctrine, till later, after he met Paul and was taught it.

If you own a bible, and read 2 Peter, you'll find that Peter refers to Paul's Letters as equal to the Torah.....= "Scripture".
And later these same letters, became Paul's 13 Epistles, that are all the "Church Doctrine".

Why place Paul on a pedestal that Jesus never did?

Here is what Paul told you..


"""""Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.""""""

New Living Translation
And you should imitate me, just as I imitate Christ.

English Standard Version
Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.

Berean Standard Bible
You are to imitate me, just as I imitate Christ.

Berean Literal Bible
Be imitators of me, as I also am of Christ.

King James Bible
Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.

New King James Version
Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ.

New American Standard Bible
Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.

Amplified Bible
Imitate me, just as I imitate Christ.

We do not even fit the definition, because we have no human leader...

Your cult is created by men.. and has had a few "leaders".


Charles Taze Russell is the founder of the Bible Student movement, which evolved into the Jehovah's Witnesses after his death.
The movement began in the 1870s in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with Russell and a group of associates studying the Bible.

Key facts about the religion's origins:
  • Bible Students: In 1881, Russell established the Zion's Watch Tower Tract Society to publish and distribute the group's literature. The movement's members were known as Bible Students during his lifetime.

  • Leadership succession: After Russell's death in 1916, a leadership dispute led to Joseph Franklin Rutherford becoming the new president of the Watch Tower Society.

  • The name "Jehovah's Witnesses": In 1931, Rutherford adopted the name "Jehovah's Witnesses" to distinguish his followers from other Bible Student groups that had broken away.

  • Shifting doctrines: Under Rutherford's leadership, the organization made significant doctrinal changes

This was amazing to read and I truly hope I can reach that level of faith as well.
You know just yesterday I was talking to God and told him if he gave me the power and strength and filled me with his spirit to have a oneness with him I would surrender my body to him I want him to take it over I offered him my soul and all my possessions if he would only grant me the strength and power to to good and serve his kingdom.

I had a vision of me being in a pure white place and the holy spirit was trying to enter into me but he was really intense and I hesitated for a moment and the spirit said let me in and I said I wanted this so I let him in and suddenly I was changed he and I were one my eyes were a shining blue color azure blue a mighty wind was blowing loud and all around me it was really intense wind but this oneness was unlike anything I could have imagined.


I believe this vision to be prophetic

Yeah the JWs need to start following the Jesus of the Bible.... not the angel of light devil they've been following that leads them to extra biblical demonic teaching that have embraced.

This is why they never do address any Bible topic when they claim that ‘JW’s have it all wrong’....and when they try to justify their “church” doctrines, it is obvious that they cannot support their own arguments scripturally, but will argue blindly because someone told them that JW’s don’t teach the truth.

The very same thing happened with the first Christians, and the majority chose to stick with their hypocritical leaders instead of actually listening to what Jesus had to say (Matt 15:7-11).......they really have no idea, but are just parroting what they are told by their own leaders. They don’t want to be convinced otherwise, because it takes humility to admit that you are wrong when the evidence presented to them is clear. It will also mean that people will become your enemy simply because you made the choice you did....even in our own families. (Matt 10: 34-38; John 15:18-21)

But we all have choices, and in this time of the end, there are only two important ones....to accept true worship or to accept a poor substitute. Jesus will let us all know if we have made the right choice. Satan has made sure that there are too many choices in his world empire of false worship. We already know that the majority will make the wrong choice. (Matt 7:13-14; 21-23)

History is merely repeating, but on a grander scale.

Oh the wagons have been circled many many times exposing the doctrines of demons espoused by the KWs.... and it's a waste of time as these folks have been turned over to a reprobate mind and cannot break free from the deception that has ensnared them.

Did you hear about the guy that entered the jehovah witness protection program?

He had to go door to door telling everyone he was somebody else!

Sorry I have been away I have been sick of late but I mean really sick to the point where I thought I was going to die. But I finally had enough and rebuked the sickness in the name of Jesus Christ and suddenly I was well again.

I just treated the sickness as if it was an evil spirit and stood in the authority of Christ and suddenly I was healed

It really put things into perspective for me, it made me wonder if all sickness works this way and if we treat it as an evil spirit and stand in the authority given to us by Christ then what else are we able to do I wonder?

And what if the only reason our bodies get ill is because it is not from God? what if God wants us healthy and strong? if this is the case then what if by that same power we can simply rebuke any illness? I have never experienced anything like this before so I am pretty shocked but also amazed

I believe there is truth in your words in regards to sickness. Before the pandemic, I would get sick 2-3 times a year. Usually bedridden for a day or two, then needing a week or more to recover fully. Once the pandemic began, I no longer became sick again, like I usually did. When my church had opened up again for Sunday services, I was in charge of running the sound system, and the live stream equipment. There would be times on Sunday mornings, before others would arrive, where I would worry what would happen if I got sick, especially from Covid. Many people in my church caught the virus, some even more then once. Then I came across Psalm 91, and my worries started to disappear, as I put my trust in God to keep me healthy, so I could continue serving Him.

Great, now start doing that BEFORE getting sick and you'll be all set. Stay on guard concerning your health daily mediating, speaking, and acting on God's promises concerning healing. When people come along and claim God does not heal... turn them off as they are speaking in behalf of satan.

And follow common sense in taking care of your body with things such as getting plenty of sleep, lots of water, exercise, eat right, take multi- vitamins, and see to it that your heart be not troubled (John 14:1).... which is not partaking in stress, anxiety, and fear

And what if the only reason our bodies get ill is because it is not from God?

It's not.... Jesus said He only does what He sees the Father do, and He only says what He hears the Father say

And there is not one example in the New Testament where Jesus refused to heal and not one example of Jesus telling someone to go make an appointment with doctor Luke for medical treatment.

Now we do reap what we sow, so if a person is fat, eats junk food, is all stressed out.... departing from those things and taking care of the body is part of God's wisdom so this is needful and profitable as well.

Standing on God's promises AND waiting on Him in prayer believing for His wisdom is crucial as some people don't need healing from the Lord... they need to quit feeding their body with garbage so their body can have the right fuel it needs to do what God created it to do in the first place... be well.

What you described with being fat eating junk food being stressed out all the time you described my room mate and yeah he says he is christian but shows no fruits of it so he is constantly complaining and griping and even cursing a lot

I believe there is truth in your words in regards to sickness. Before the pandemic, I would get sick 2-3 times a year. Usually bedridden for a day or two, then needing a week or more to recover fully. Once the pandemic began, I no longer became sick again, like I usually did. When my church had opened up again for Sunday services, I was in charge of running the sound system, and the live stream equipment. There would be times on Sunday mornings, before others would arrive, where I would worry what would happen if I got sick, especially from Covid. Many people in my church caught the virus, some even more then once. Then I came across Psalm 91, and my worries started to disappear, as I put my trust in God to keep me healthy, so I could continue serving Him.
Amazing testimony my friend good for you keep growing in faith and do not let the enemy inflict your body with illness and if he does rebuke it
