Have you seen the other videos were I give more accurate understanding to Babylon the Great, 1914, generation, Peace and Security, Why God has allowed suffering?, God's love, and the video that has a link to a Mp3 file and a doc file that explains more accurately all the book of Revelation?
      My aim is to put out all what I have learned, so I will in future videos explain more accurately more things. Unfortunately, the Watchtower's teachings seem to be erroneous in so many ways. I think almost every their teaching need some ajustment.

    My life changed when I prayed directly to Jesus. I prayed first to Jehovah to ask forgiveness in advance, that he not be offended, but I just wanted to say thank you for dying for my sins. As a parent, I didn’t see how The father could be angry for you saying thank you to the son, even as a jealous God. Jesus suddenly became so much more real to me, and the Bible seemed easier to understand.

    • @jankosonen315

      Good that you are thankful to Jesus for his love that he has for us and as evidence is that Jesus said himself that he loved us and gave his life as a ransom for our sins, even when that was very difficult. Yes both Jehovah and Jesus loves us and want us to live for ever.

Ask your self why is there several visions in the Bible about God and Jesus next to him, and the holy spirit is not included in these visions? Isn't it because the holy spirit is not a person but God's universal power and tool that can act like AI or in what ever other way God wants it to be used?

    Inside the Watchtower organisation there is stagnation in faith, because their teachings are always the same. For me, Watchtower study was boring! They keep focussing only on some special points of the bibel: Last days, Armageddon, The socalled faithfull slave, obediance and loyality to that slave, apostacy, Satan the devil, paradies on earth under the kingdom of God. Most of their teachings are false. You will never make new steps in knowing God and our Lord Jesus Christ because as a member, You are reading the bible only with a Watchtower- point of view. I also was disfellowshipped in 1913 after telling the true gospel of Jesus to fellow witnesses. Greatings from Germany, may our Lord bless You

      @jankosonen315  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      Yes, I see we felt very similar. I was also so bored to hear the same stuff over and over again. And never real Bible reading. It is I think intentional. Because they think that the New Testament is for the anointed, so they try to pick only those verses that are suitable from their point of view to non-anointed. They should not try to hinder people to strive to become a part of the Kingdom of God. So ironic that Jesus blamed the religious leaders of his time for hindering people to enter the Kingdom of God.

  • @MR-gx3gc
    @MR-gx3gc 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    In your video, you addressed a crucial topic that is deliberately concealed by the Watchtower Society .
    In his second letter to the Thessalonians, the Apostle Paul expressly exhorted his confreres not to follow anyone who claims that the parousia of Christ or the "day of the Lord" has already begun. (2 Thessalonians 2:1-3)
    Consequently, this "day of the Lord" would not take its course until Jesus has revealed and swept away the man of lawlessness. (2 Thessalonians 2:8-9)
    In this sense, the apostle Paul referred to the fulfillment of this prediction as THE decisive harbinger of the beginning of Christ's Parousia or the "Day of the Lord"
    In this letter, Paul reminded his confreres, among other things, of the corresponding messages in his first letter (2 Thessalonians 2:15, 1 Thessalonians 4:14-18).
    It is significant that the doctrine of the invisible parousia of Christ is the foundation of the doctrinal edifice of the Watchtower Society.
    For nearly 4 decades, until 1914, the Bible Students under Russell proclaimed the message that the invisible presence of Christ had begun in 1874.
    After the failure of the prediction around 1914, the date for the beginning of the invisible Parousia Christi was arbitrarily changed retroactively to 1914.
    That is very gratifying the you yourself have come to this conclusion.

Is it that he and the leadership of the WT organization were and still are so eager for the end to come that they deliberately therefore ignored and still ignore this advice and reminder of the apostle Paul? And twist the meaning of the man of lawlessness?

    The JW as a cult are not only in error what they teach but their NWT is a doctored translation to fit with their doctrines. I admire you zealousness for God but I don't think you understand the true nature of what Salvation is or who Jesus Christ really is. Do you really understand what it means to be born of the Spirit of God ? To know what the 'grace' of God is ? Do you understand that eternal life is not dependant upon your good works , or your subjective faith ? May I strongly advise you to get a New International Bible or a New English Bible . Begin you reading with the Gospel of John then Pauls letter to the Romans. I would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have. I have been a Reformed Evangelical Christian for many years. There is so much nonsense , downright lies and subtle false doctrines, teachers and preachers pretending to be biblical in what they say. Keep praying keep asking, searching and above all keep reading the scriptures which is able to make you wise in Christ.

      Thank you for your comment. Yes, I have experienced the new birth of the Spirit of God about 20 years ago. Since then John 4:14 started to make sense for me where Jesus says: Whoever drinks from the water that I will give him will never get thirsty at all, but the water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water bubbling up to impart everlasting life.” And I understand the Grace of God. I am very thankful for that. We can in no way earn everlasting life or forgivness of sins. We get it because God loves us and wants to forgive our sins and give us life. I made a video recently how to understand God's love, because Jehovah's witnesses don't teach that correctly and many cannot even fully imagine how Great God's love is.
