My God Jehovah, is love! he would never be attached to such blood thirsty people with no forgiveness in their hearts, who would take pleasure in the eternal torment of Hellfire. He is not like that. When he erases them, even the memory of them will be forgotten. When I told my husband, who was the son of a preacher of the assembly of God, a millionaire, I said, on my hands and knees, please i just want to be loved, he punched me in the head so hard that I was dizzy. Why? Because I am Jehovah's witness, and I refused to worship Jesus Christ. He beat me, kidnapped me, drugged me, choked me, strangled me, and left me for dead.numerous times.no human could stop him, and I know why, he was not just a human, he was possessed, I know that it was really satan himself, he revealed himself with great power. I am truly the bride of the Christ. Jehovah God and his son intervened, I had already been exposed to the supernatural,I don't mind having holy angels manifest in front of my face. The reason that this happened is so i would be a Good judge of angels, some of the fallen angels tried to help me. that is why My father allowed it.I forgive my human husband, I do not forgive Satan the devil. That does not mean that Jesus will forgive my husband, even though he dares call himself a Christian. I am a Christian. do not feel sorry for me. I am just sharing so that people will know what drinking the cup of the Christ entails.please read psalms 54. , 2 Corinthians 11:31
hmmm makes me giggle at the same time as human beings says there wasn't a J sound in Hebrews. there are such fairly some names interior the bible that starts with a J. Jacob, Jesus, John, to call yet some. Jehovahs call ought to have sound as though it had an i in the front of it extremely of a J. some sense that Jehovah's call is to sacred to apply so that they don't contain it of their translations.
I think I should jump the pond, and visit Disney.....good on ya mate, I like your answer.
to answer your Q, do you know what worship is?
Do you worship Jesus ? Which Jesus?
To quote a JW phrase.....this means your eternal life...and how right that statement is, as The Watchtower propagates a false Christ, one they say is the incarnate Michael, and openly deny the incarnate and eternal Word who is very God within Jesus the Christ. .
[edit]...Grey Tower completely answers your question in pointed clarity. (tks GT)
All of false religions find it easier for many centuries to control people with fear than by love. Whether by threat of a sword at their throats or by a monster that tortures people for eternity, it is fear that makes people really move.
This is especially true when they have nothing reasonable to back their beliefs with. The early true Christians of the 1st and 2nd centuries, especially Paul, relied on logic and reason to show Jews and others that the long promised Messiah was Jesus of Nazareth. They showed with wisdom and knowledge that all the scriptures and prophecies pointed to Jesus.
The simple fact is that Christendom does not have the knowledge of the Bible nor is it willing to teach their laity any of the Bible truths. The only thing they have left is fear and the false doctrines they picked up from the pagan religions over the centuries.
And Republicans do exactly the same thing with Obama...One good turn deserves another...
Just like the Obama you know is worthy of praise and not conjecture, so is my God of the Bible a goodly and gracious God who only wants the best for HIS People...As for the rest of the sinners who refuse to acknowledge God,,,well, you know the rest of the story.
How is it you dont take the time to accurately represent the beliefs of others?
You make wise crack shots without any quotes, or substantiation
If the folks in Christendom can take the time to read the volumes of JW books, magazines, and quote them verbatim in reply to JW Questions
You cannot do the same to make your case?
It is wholly disingenuous to say we are liars, haters,apostates. when all we do is quote your materials...........and point out the obvious changes, and opposition within your own material, or scripture
Here is what it all boils down to ,............Jehovah loves you, and yes He sent his son to be the ransom sacrifice for your sin.
The only difference between the WT and Christendom is "who Jesus is"
Calling Christendom haters, apostates, liars, having no love, is such a disingenuous spirit of callous disregard for what matters, and is beyond the boundaries of civil discourse.
We have no doubt you wish to please Jehovah.........It is Jehovah who says you should honor Jesus as God in the flesh. This you refuse to do.
I dont hate you because you dis agree, why do you hate in return?
Either Jesus is the incarnate michael the archangel who emptied himself to be Jesus, and then going back to Michael, with the body of Jesus vaporizing
or
Jesus is the incarnate Eternal Word, who emptied Himself to be the incarnate Deity, Immanuel (GOD with us), and will return in the same body with King of Kings and Lord of Lords on His thigh. (Rev 1:)
Easy choice, as only an incorruptible being could bear the sins of the whole world.
The only incorruptible being is Jehovah God. All created beings are corruptible..
Jehovah loves you and asks you to accept His Son for Who He declares Him to be.
You mean why does the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society represent Christendom as representing God as a monster, right?
Because I can assure you that Christians DO NOT represent God in this manner. But rather than investigating for themselves, because they are discouraged from independent thinking, Jehovah's Witnesses blindly accept what the Watchtower tells them about "Christendom."
Why does Christendom... An out-of-date expression for Christianity. Are we to understand that because Jehovah's Witnesses believe they are the only true Christians on the planet yet they are neither Protestant or Catholic, this is a derogatory term employed to refer to Christians who are not Jehovah's Witnesses? I ask because lots of people out there don't know your beliefs so I mention this for clarity.
They believe in a God with three heads... Wrong. I suspect you've got this erroneous idea from your booklet 'Should You Believe In The Trinity?' which takes the Indian triad conception of gods and claims this is what the Trinity is. Christians do not believe in a three-headed God. This is a gross misrepresentation of the Trinity and merely demonstrates you don't know what it is.
Who tortures people in a lake of fire eternally for not worshipping him... Check out your own version of the Bible at Revelation 20:15 and then go to Jude verse 7. Talking about the dead who are resurrected and judged and whose names are not found written in the book of life, it says they are "thrown into the lake of fire." After talking about men who deny Jesus Christ as their only Sovereign and Lord (verse 4), Jude says "They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire."
Seems pretty clear to me from reading the Bible that people who deny Jesus Christ as their only Sovereign and Lord and whose names are not in the book of life end up in what the Bible graphically describes as "eternal fire." But perhaps your version of the Bible doesn't say that?
So, to answer your question, Christians do not represent God as a monster. They do not believe in a God with three heads. But they absolutely do believe that those who are not saved (i.e. the lost) end up in this eternal fire. Jesus warned us about what happens to those who end up in this place of torment (Luke 16:19-31) and said that even if someone came back from the dead to warn people about this eternal fate, people would refuse to believe.
Lots of people think it's unreasonable for a loving God to "torture people in a lake of fire eternally" and go to all sorts of lengths to persuade themselves that scriptures such as Revelation 20, Jude 7 and Luke 16 are metaphors - it's not real. They are at liberty to accept or reject what God himself says. All I know is that people who deny that Jesus Christ is their only Sovereign and Lord (Jude 4) "will suffer the eternal punishment of fire" (Jude 7). I'm not about to start questioning God's sovereignty or Jesus' warnings or pretend those scriptures don't really mean what they say.
P.S. If the lake of fire in Revelation isn't really a lake of fire, does that mean the 144,000 isn't a literal number and that they aren't really Jewish male virgins who go to heaven? Or can we pick and choose which bits of the Bible are real and which are not?
Because they do not know the True God. Their God is at 1 John 5:19. If only they would open their eyes and minds. John 17:3 would benefit them greatly.
There is only one head, it is called the Godhead. People send themselves to this lake of fire enternal. Only Satan demands you worship Him. God gives you a choice. Both come with a penalty, but God has a beautiful gift also. Enjoy your choice.
