For Christians, is the issue to love a choice? No, Jesus made it a command for His followers, didn’t he? A command is not a conscience issue.
“…allow them liberty on this issue”. Wow!
“You say JWs dont kill their brother in war so that proves you are the true religion on earth? HA!”
No. Actually, I said those who do kill their brothers, are not the true religion. (1 John 3:10-15) Jesus is the one who told us how to identify His disciples. — John 13:34,35
The OT is full of wars- yet,
"You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord. Leviticus" 19:18
Jesus DID NOT tell the Centurion to leave the military.
He told him to be content with his pay.
We have always had armies and police and God ordains that.
Romans 13-- Why? it's needed. It is what we call reality in this age.
Don't be an evildoer-you may face the sword and it's not in vain.
Romans 13
My grandfather in-law was blown to pieces in the Navy as a doc on a ship in WW2 as he was saving lives. He laid down his life while serving others-- against Hitler, remember him?
Have you seen the Watchtower's letters to Hitler?
No one wants to go to war, You just let others do the hard stuff for you. Being a coward isn't honorable.
No police or army= JWs..seriously? Jesus did not forbid men from military or police forces.
If you ran the country, most would get out. lol Use your brain. God is not always
your black and white thinking!!!
Be careful! You know where “all the liars” go, right?
See John 8:44
You know, your irrational hatred is actually a good witness to others, since Jesus said His followers would be hated.
This is rich.--
No,Jws won't shoot at you when in war-- How righteous of you. What is needed is Christ's righteousness- the righteousness of God. You don't even know what that is. Why not?
Trouble is: There is more than one way to murder according to JESUS-
Matthew 5:21-22
21 “You have heard that ]the ancients were told, ‘You shall not commit murder’ and ‘Whoever commits murder shall be liable to the court.’ 22 But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever says to his brother, ‘You good-for-nothing,’ shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell."
Jws- throw out a brother who grew a beard and shun him. Gee. that's love to you. I see.
Tell a jw child who was molested by a JW that she needs 2-3 eye witness. Gee. that's love to you. I see.
Deny a sick jw baby white blood cells. Baby dies. While baby was drinking white blood cells in mama's breast milk.
Gee. that's love to you. I see.
Tell a JW sister who was raped by a Jw that since she didn't scream it's not rape. Gee. that's love to you. I see.
Jws Throw out and shun a sister who bakes birthday cakes for her children. Gee. that's love to you. I see.
Jws call you a pagan if you bring flowers to your dead parents grave. Gee. that's love to you. I see.
Jws shun family members because they disagree, and can show them why they've become a Christian.
Gee. that's love to you. I see.
Man, this list is ENDLESS......
It's merely a snap shot of Jw murder- Get the picture yet? Sadly, somehow I doubt it. Don't even begin to try to justify or deny any of those or you will be shown to be the liar.
YOU toss this this verse out at ME? ------------a Jw favorite!
Be careful! You know where “all the liars” go, right?See John 8:44
" You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies."
Show me where I have lied?
You know, your irrational hatred is actually a good witness to others, since Jesus said His followers would be hated.
Facts are rational.
Do JWS EVER look in the mirror? Nope. they point the finger and refuse to look at what they do with an HONEST heart.
I don't hate Jws. I hate what you teach and do.
