This wasnt an 'interview', it was a clumsy attempt at conversion. It was also incredibly dishonest, and bearing false witness isn't absolved just because you think you're doing the right thing.
THE MILLION-DOLLAR QUESTION: Will you go to Heaven when you die? Have you lied, stolen, used God’s name in vain, or lusted (which Jesus said was adultery, Matthew. 5:28)? If so, God sees you as a liar, thief, blasphemer, and adulterer at heart. If you die in your sins, you will end up in a terrible place called Hell. But there's good news. Though we broke God's Law, Jesus paid the fine by dying on the cross: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life" (John. 3:16). Then Jesus rose from the dead and was seen by hundreds of eyewitnesses. He fulfilled all the prophecies of the promised Savior. Please, today, repent and trust Jesus, and God will forgive you and grant you the gift of eternal life (Ephesians. 2:8,9).777
Not at all. It's an entirely dishonest way to preach these gospel. Bearing false witness isnt okay just because you think you're doing it for a good reason.
@@MichaelJohnson-kq7qg So, according to this standard, Jehovah Witnesses are dishonest, since they bear false witness. I can't agree with your reasoning, since I think they are only following what the Watchtower tells them. It's not their fault.
@@meusisto why are you saying JW bear false witness? I'm talking about deliberate acts- that's what bearing false witness is - like when this guy pretends he is just interviewing someone, but is actually lying to them, because he is trying to convert them. Read your scripture - being wrong isn't sin, doubting isn't sin - bearing false witness is.
@@MichaelJohnson-kq7qg I understand your point and partly agree. Jehovah Witnesses are simply wrong. The Watchtower deceives them though. I agree with this part. As for the interview, I don't understand why it can't be "can I interview you about your views and offer you a possibility of view of all this?"?
@@meusisto I'm not sure what your point is. The guy asks someone if they can interview them, and then uses leading questions to bring it to the point where he is preaching to him. Preaching is fine, but be honest about it. If you're witnessing requires false witness, you're a false witness.
This man is not a Jehovah’s Witness. Maybe he might have been brought up as one but he’s not practicing. He has a beard for one and he’s not quite sure of the Watchtower theology.
*@ **0:48** either he's not an active Jehovah's Witness or may have forgotten but I know Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe they have a soul. They believe they ARE a soul. In other words, they believe that scripture when it speaks of a "soul" it's speaking of the body itself. And this is correct sometimes like in Genesis 2:7. But scripture also speaks of an inner soul as Jesus describes in Matthew **10:28** and Paul in 1 Thessalonians **5:23**. It's astounding to see how Jehovah's Witnesses believe their leaders convoluted biblical interpretation about the soul when scriptures like these are so clear.*
Just to humbly correct you, yes we believe that the soul is the body that has breath of life in it, not some detached spiritual entity. When you die you have a body but become soulless or without the breath of life. Furthermore, In the context of those verses Jesus is speaking of the "soul" or the life after your death through the resurrection something man cannot do. It says to not fear man bc they cannot bring you back with the breath of life or "soul" but to fear the one who can do that because he or Jehovah has that authority. Like you said the scriptures make that clear. The Bible does not contradict itself.
(Genesis 2:7) your soul is your whole self you are a walking breathing Soul. God didn't put a soul into the body like a letter into a Envelope. (Ezikiel 18:4) The Soul who Sins Will (Die) The (Soul) is not immortal or survives after Death it Dies. King james bible.
Please research for this topic. The proliferation of this false teaching, the immortality of soul was uttered by the very mouth of Satan (through the snake) to Eve at the Garden of Eden. Gen 3:4 said "At this the serpent said to the woman: “You certainly will not die." Satan the devil doesn't have to come up with a lot of new things, he just keeps playing the same old record over and over again and people still believe it. And that is what Jesus taught in his Parable of the Wheat and Weeds. The proliferation of false teachings. Consider Acts 24:15 it says that "I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous." Base on this verse, what will be the scenario during resurrection if the soul of the righteous are already in heaven and the soul of the unrighteous are already in hell! (If you can post your SCENARIO here) Jehovah's Witnesses beliefs are biblical and logical (not convoluted) and so clear. True Christians should defend true Bible teachings that's why 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 said that "For the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly, but powerful by God for overturning strongly entrenched things. 5 For we are overturning reasoning and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are bringing every thought into captivity to make it obedient to the Christ." False teaching proliferates because "among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, so that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through(2 Corinthians 4:4). We have to overturn "strongly entrenched things"; the belief of Hell, immortality of the soul, trinity and many lies and deceit that "god of this system of things has blinded the minds" of the people.
Exactly, the title of this video is misleading and is deceitful. I don't mean to be immodest but I would have gotten my electronic bible out and showed him some scriptures instead of going...ah ummm, wellll, I believe in this ahhhh and so on.
@@grantknott yes, I have been very busy going on chatrooms, and it is a full-time job calling out all the false teachers, especially those teaching that Jesus is God. It is amazing that so many people go along with this false doctrine. I am sure satan loves the fact that he deceived people into worshipping God's son, instead of God himself!
(plasms 83:18) Jehovah is the Most High. (King james Bible) (luke 1:32) Calls Jesus the Son of the Most High. Jesus is Jehovah's Son (John 17:3) Eternal(Everlasting ) Life. Have to know them both.Amen
Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Amen the commandment Christ gave years ago is being fulfilled and brought to pass.
Man, I LOVE the patience of this brother! He did a great job honestly listening through the flow chart. He didn't argue or debate unnecessarily, but was patient with some of the points of doctrinal disagreement, and considered what other gentleman was trying to communicate. But, then we get to 9:01, and it's hilarious! From the way this person is presenting, he's maybe got as much actual experience in outreach ministry as an average JW teenager... telling this man who likely has thousands of hours going door to door "I'm ready to give you some good news, and this is going to blow your mind..." In one glance, you get the whole "If this were ministry school, I'd have some constructive feedback on your approach." There's plenty that could be "argued" of course, but my brother was very humble and patient per 1 Peter 3:15. Well done. (Also, nice to see more JWs feeling more comfortable with beards).
Ecclesiastes12:7 man turns to dust but the spirit returns to God who gave it. In that Bible verse spirit refers to our breath of life our life force. God has the power to use his Son Jesus Christ to resurrect us if we're in his memory.
Not that I'm a Jehovah witness but I've talked to them before and this guy is not well versed enough to be considered a Jehovah witness. He doesn't know enough of their bible.
He dose not know enough about the truth not their bible. All bibles are perversions of the original language and there fore no one translation has exact truth. Read the forward of your won copy to see how you have been mislead.
Thanks Jehovah God for the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23) NOT eternal life in hell being tormented! God is not unjust and cruel to torture all those who don't accept Jesus Christ. The encouraging truth of the Bible is that God is indeed a God of great mercy, wisdom and righteous judgment. As Psalms 19:9 assures us, “The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.” Deuteronomy 32:4, 5 The Rock, perfect is his activity, For all his ways are justice. A God of faithfulness who is never unjust; Righteous and upright is he. “For a certainty, God does not act wickedly.”-Job 34:12. PSALMS 103:10 READS "He has not dealt with us according to our sins, NOR HAS HE REPAID US WHAT OUR ERRORS DESERVE!" Let us consider the ancient Israel at Jeremiah 7:30-31 " 'For the people of Judah have done what is bad in my eyes,’ declares Jehovah. ‘They have set up their disgusting idols in the house that bears my name, in order to defile it. 31 They have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, in order to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, SOMETHING THAT I HAD NOT COMMANDED AND THAT HAD NEVER EVEN COME INTO MY HEART' " Hell is one of Satan's lies and deceits, concerning God! Satan love to defame Jehovah God; to damage the reputation of our Loving, Just, Kind and Merciful God!
King James Version of the Holy Bible Psalms86:13 For great is thy(your) mercy towards me and thou(you) hath delivered my soul from the lowest hell. The margin for hell is the grave.
"STOP, LOOK, LISTEN: Luke 8:17" For there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed, nor is there anything carefully hidden that will never become known and never come out. "Really if you are a Baptized person who does not is part of the new covenant that jesus made with his disciples to eat the bread that represents his body and drink the wine that represents his blood, how will there be eternal life? (Luke 22: 19,20). doctrine of men or the word of GOD? " note (john chap 3: 16,17) 16- “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, so that everyone who exercises faith in him may not be destroyed, but have everlasting life. 17- For God did not send his Son into the world so that he could judge the world, but so that the world could be saved through him. "Watch (john ch. 6: 53-57) 53- So Jesus said to them: to them with all certainty: Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in them. 54- Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I I will be resurrected on the last day, 55- for my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink 56. Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood remains in union with me, and I in union with him. Just as the Father, who lives, sent me and I live because of the Father, so also he who feeds on me will live because of me. Concluding this covenant observe (John chapter 14: 6) Jesus said: “I am the path, truth and life. No one comes to the Father except through me ". notice what Jesus said: Matthew 23:13 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because they close the kingdom of heaven before men; for you yourself do not enter, nor let those who are on the way in to enter. "look at the Conclusion of Jesus (john chap 10: 09,10) 9- I am the door; everyone who enters through me will be saved, and will enter and he will go out and find pasture. 10- The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they might have life and have it in abundance.
This man seems to contradict himself, every time he answers a new question. First he believes in nothing, then he believes the soul comes back, then bad people don't get punished, then Hitler is brought up, so he says he believes in Jesus Christ, the crucifixion, and that God will judge him. Poor guy is so confused. The good news is that the more he talks, the closer he gets to the Truth. I believe strongly that all of our souls are connected, through God, and that we can transfer our love, thoughts, and intentions (good or bad) through our consciousness. He is receiving the Gospel before John even mentions it. The power of God is so strong, we can't even comprehend it. We can see that power working in him, in real time. This was truly a divine encounter! Praise God for bringing this man to hear the Gospel! I pray that He truly chooses God, and puts all of his trust in the one and only Savior! Hallelujah, and AMEN!
Where does it say in the Bible that right after death - the soul ends up in heaven?! After all - death was the punishment for man transgressing the law of God!
Heck that's just one small reference to countless that concerns what happens when you die. But granny is looking down on us from heaven.... NOPE. SHE IS NOT. SHE IS DEAD IN THE GROUND. This is important to understand so people will regain the understanding and importance of the resurrection. Without the resurrection we are all doomed. And you deny the work on the cross. Besides, why would granny go to heaven? Heaven is coming here! See revelation.
Well, you lose your life which belongs to God, if you try to keep it for yourself and live it your way, but if you live your life to glorify God, you will keep it!
My life is mine. God doesn't get to have it, and he certainly doesn't get to hold it for ransom in exchange for my worship. I live for me. I will not serve.

NO ONE COMES UNTO THE FATHER (in Heaven) BUT BY ME'. JESUS CHRIST is the only, true way to Salvation! It’s the free gift of GOD to all those who believe and trust Him! SALVATION! is the redemption of one’s soul from eternal destruction after death of man, on this earth, by the cleansing of the blood, and by the death and power of resurrection of Jesus Christ 📖Acts.4:12 says. Salvation is found in no one else (except Jesus Christ), for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved." How is SALVATION gifted to man? For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. 📖John 3:3 says, Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, Except a man be Born Again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

I live in Leicester and have lived there for 17 years. The interview took place on Humberstone Gate. JW's have a regular stand about a few paces from where the interview was conducted. Therefore, a public display stand would have been the natural place to conduct an interview. I also have been a JW for 27 years. His explanation of the soul demonstrates that he isn't baptized or is studying with JW. A JW will not explain a soul as 'part of God'. Also, a JW will not use the 10 commandments as their standards. Finally, JW dont generally agree to interviews as one is unsure how the information will be used. Also, the local branch has a publicity department which are happy to consider interviews. So, kindly amend the title as it seems to be a misrepresentation. The possibility of Darren being a JW is very far and removed.

Dolora, they believe in their 'translation' of the Bible, the New World 'Translation', a PERversion of God's true Word. They change many verses to fit their henotheistic, blasphemy of a theology. One that denies the core tenets of Christianity such as the Trinity, the supreme Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, that the Holy Spirit is not a Person of God but 'God's active force' (even though the Bible says that the Holy Spirit speaks, commands, is grieved - a force cannot do or feel such things! They are a cult who only listen to the Watchtower & filter everything through them - they only believe what the Watchtower teaches (which has changed over the decades & is totally contrary to the true teachings of the Scriptures!)
websurferdude Correct. They, ironically, fail to understand that Christ never changes! Nor does His word and teachings. Truly timeless- not matching the ways of their doctrines
websurferdude: Are you aware that they had their key beliefs in place BEFORE they had their NWT? Their beliefs -even if you don't agree with them - were based on the Bibles then available. Neither Jesus nor his Apostles, who were all Jews, believed in your "core tenets of Christianity" that according to most theologians, only appeared after apostolic times.
John: What is the point of your comment? You quote a scripture out of context. Earlier in verse 17, Jesus had said that he was ascending to his God. Indeed, look at the big finish, in verse 31 : But these things are written......that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.."If ever there was a time to spell it out, this was it. But the Evangelist agrees with the other gospel writers that the point was that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of God.Scholars are divided over verse 28. Some see it as an exclamation of astonishment spoken to Jesus but actually directed to his God his Father. The verse certainly does not prove a Trinity as only two are mentioned, not three.
@@ewankerr3011 it's difficult to get the proper context out of the New World Translation. Because it's been changed in so many places, to fit JW doctrine. (Scholarly consensus, not my opinion) For example, they change the phrase "worship" to "obiesence" when referring to Jesus. This is almost trivial compared to their more blatant changes to the text. I would love you to explain your doctrine from a well translated bible.
Tudy Max JW’s believe Jesus was a good person but not someone special. There are plenty of stories of people visited by relatives at the time of dear to say goodby or let them know you are gone. Plenty of people visited by relatives for one reason or an other. There is more to the “after death” that we are not very knowledgeable. Little kid book Heaven is For Real. And people saying that this afterlife is the devil. But it brings so many to Jesus. Why would Evil do this and lead people to Jesus.

I was talking to a top JW speaker from Tennessee. I showed him Revelation 14:10 and he immediately denied what it said (in his own NWT!) When I pointed out that I was saying 'IT IS WRITTEN,' whilst he was saying, 'HATH GOD SAID,' and furthermore pointed out who said, 'IT IS WRITTEN,' (JESUS) and who said, 'HATH GOD SAID,' (satan). he declared, "Your too good for me!" And promptly packed up shop and legged it. This was a JW top man and he lasted about 5 minutes.
For what it's worth, the Revelation prophecy is highly symbolic, presented in signs as the very first vs. of Rev mentions. If you took this vs. literally, what "wild beast and it's image" are they guilty of worshipping? The wild beast symbolizes something. What is the wine of God's anger that they will be drinking? It symbolizes something it's not literal. As for the existence of a literal hell : Revelation 14:9-11 speaks of some who are “tormented with fire and sulphur . . . And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever.”* Does this prove eternal conscious torment in hellfire? Actually, all this passage says is that the wicked are tormented, not that they are tormented forever. The text states that it is the smoke-the evidence that the fire has done its work of destruction-that continues forever, not the fiery torment. Think of it , a person leads a sinful life of 70 or 80 years on earth, then dies, would God torture him for eternity for that , it is very illogical. Please read Psalm 146:3,4 and Eccl. 9:5,10. Is that not more logical, we just cease to exist.

The day came , however, when I involuntarily took my first step toward such communication, and experienced things that shook me to the depths of my soul.. . . My experiences are related in a book that has appeared in both German and English and bears the title, Communication with the Spirit- World: Its Laws and Its Purpose.” (Page 15) .....in the Foreword of his afore- mentioned book ex-priest Greber says: “The most significant spiritualistic book is the Bible.” Under this impression Greber endeavors to make his New Testament translation read very spiritualistic. Page 111(paragraph 11) 11 Spiritualism claims that there are good spirits and bad spirits and that it does not want to have anything to do with the bad spirits but tries to communicate only with the good spirits....etc Page 111(paragraph 11,the final sentence) Very plainly the spirits in which ex-priest Greber believes helped him in his translation. Page 111(paragraph 12) “TRY THE SPIRITS” 12 However, when the apostle John says, “Try the spirits,” or, “Test the spirits,” he does not mean for us to dabble in spiritualism and get in touch with the spirits by means of spirit mediums, ouija boards or planchettes or other spiritistic para phernalia and try out which is a good spirit and which is a bad one.... Page 112(paragraph 16) 16 The evidence is clear that the spirits with whom this leading spiritualist communicates are against the Bible and its Author Jehovah God and his Son Jesus Christ. Why so? Because the Bible and Jehovah and Jesus Christ are against those spirits Page 114(paragraph 23) INSANITY THROUGH OBSESSION 23 The purpose of the demons through spiritualism is not merely to destroy your faith in God’s Word the Bible but, more than that, to gain possession of your mind and body, to control you completely, thus leading you to insanity. (end of quote) 7.the above are the confessions of watchtower 8.in short ,what watchtower says about johannes greber are: - a spiritist - greber endeavors to make his "new testament " translation read very spiritualistic - the translation done by the helps of the "spirits" -the spirits with whom johannes g communicates are against the bible,its author Jehovah God and Jesus Christ - the purpose of demons via spiritualism : *destroy your faith in the Bible *gain possession of your mind,body *control you completely *result: insanity 9.yet watch tower gains their support in their " new world translation " of john 1:1 from new testament (johannes greber) 10.new testament (johannes g, 1937) In the beginning was the Word,and the Word was God; and the Word was a god(john 1:1) 11. New world translation(watchtower,1950) In the beginning the Word was,the Word was with God,and the Word was a god 12.no wonder, watchtower likes johannes greber's translation 13.in addition to Johannes greber's, wachtower loves translation of emphatic diaglott (benjamin wilson,1864) 14.john 1:1, below " kai Theos " of the interlinear of emphatic diaglott, benjamin translate : and a god 15.however the same words " kai Theos" in 2 corinthians 1:3 below the " kai Theos" he translate: and God 16.who is benjamin w? - a liar? - christadelphian( does not believe Jesus is God) 17.that is the reason, he translates "a god" when refer to Jesus in John 1:1 18.for sure ,Jesus is not merely the name of God (mark 9:38-39,John 10:25,5:43,1john 5:20,rev 19:13), but also is the name of a man /human: - visible(0-33 ad) - mediator - prayed -died -resurrected 19.One God,one mediator (1timothy 2:5) 20.God (invisible) dwells in the Son(visible) (John 14:10)
Man is not given a soul but becomes a living soul when the breath (life) of God combines with the material body! There is not a single verse in the Bible that talks about an immortal soul. Jesus when He comes again brings His reward with Him as he raises the just from the graves and together with the living just are taken to heaven. If we (my soul???)went to heaven (or hell) when I die, sure I would be judged at my death and there would be no need for a judgement day or a resurrection when Jesus comes!
Without a doubt the human soul is immortal. This is clearly seen in many Scriptures in both the Old and New Testaments: Psalm 22:26; 23:6; 49:7-9; Ecclesiastes 12:7; Daniel 12:2-3; Matthew 25:46; and 1 Corinthians 15:12-19. Daniel 12:2 says, “Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt.” Similarly, Jesus Himself said that the wicked “will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life” (Matthew 25:46). With the same Greek word used to refer to both “punishment” and “life,” it is clear that both the wicked and the righteous have an eternal/immortal soul. The unmistakable teaching of the Bible is that all people, whether they are saved or lost, will exist eternally, in either heaven or hell. True life or spiritual life does not cease when our fleshly bodies pass away in death. Our souls will live forever, either in the presence of God in heaven if we are saved, or in punishment in hell if we reject God’s gift of salvation. In fact, the promise of the Bible is that not only will our souls live forever, but also that our bodies will be resurrected. This hope of a bodily resurrection is at the very heart of the Christian faith (1 Corinthians 15:12-19). While all souls are immortal, it is important to remember that we are not eternal in the same way that God is. God is the only truly eternal being in that He alone is without a beginning or end. God has always existed and will always continue to exist. All other sentient creatures, whether they are human or angelic, are finite in that they had a beginning. While our souls will live forever once we come into being, the Bible does not support the concept that our souls have always existed. Our souls are immortal, as that is how God created them, but they did have a beginning; there was a time they did not exist. www.gotquestions.org/human-soul-mortal-immortal.html
Jehovah witness..not believe Jesuss Christ as God..but they believe the Bible..sometimes itu is funny why so..we know the Bible tells the life of Jesus as God..there is something wrong with the Jehovah witness...May God Bless this Guy ..
Jesus is Gods Son that's it Not (God Almighty the Creator) Let's take a Look at the Bible and see what it Says 1. Then why is God head of Christ just as Christ is Head of man? (1st coriethians 11:3) 2.) Then why does Scripture consistently phrase Jesus as a Separate person from God? (John 20:17); (John 14:1); (Mark 10:18); (John 17:1-3), Also in Heaven, (Luke 22:69) 3.) Then how can Jesus have a god? (Micah 5:4), (pslams 45:6, 7; 89:26, John 20:17; (Romans 15:6;2), (Coriethians 1:3, Eph. 1:3; (Col. 1:3) (Mark 15:34); (John 17:1-3) Also in heaven (Rev. 1:6; 3:3, 12) 4. Then why does Scripture say he was born and part of creation? (Colessians 1:15) 5. Then why does (Rev. 3:14) Say that Jesus was the beginning of the Creation by God? 6.

Then why would he have to be given any power & authority? (Matthew 28:18; 11:27; (John 5:22; 17:2; 3:35;) (2nd 1:17) 13. Then why did he have to learn anything? (Hebrews 5:8), (John 5:19; 8:28) 14. Then why is speaking against him not as bad as speaking against the Holy Spirit? (Matthew 12:31, 32;); (Luke 12:10) 15. Then why did Jesus Call the Father the Only True God? (John 17:3) 16. Then why did he need to be saved? (Hebrews 5:7); (John 12:27) 17. Then why did he have to be exalted to leader & savior? (Acts 5:31) 18. Then how can he be exalted and (Given) a higher name then he had? (Philippians 2:9-11); (Hebrews 1:2-4) 19. Then why did he have to be given Life in himself? (John 5:25, 26) 20. Then how could his Father be Greater then he and not equal trinity? (John 14:28) 21. Then how could Jesus be tempted by Satan in(Matthew 4:10) when God cannot be tempted by Evil (James 1:13) 22. Then why did Jesus (Worship) the Father (John 4:22) 23. Then why can he not do anything of his own? (John 5:19; 6:38) 24. Then why would Jesus pray to Anybody? (Luke 22:44; ) (John 17:1,2) 25. Then why do John 1:18 and 1st John 4:9 say that Jesus is God's only Begotten Son? 26. Then how can Jesus be God's servant? (Acts 4:26, 27,30) 27. Then how could he receive strength from an angel? (Luke 22:43) 28. Then how could he be the mediator between God & man? (1st Timothy 2:5) 29. Then how could he be with God (ton theon)? (John 1:1) 30. Then how could he be God's image? (Col. 1:15;) (Hebrews 1:3) Then why is he called the agency (dia) of creation and not the originator (ek)? (1cor. 8:6); (John 1:1-3); (Prov. 8:30) (Hebrews 2:10); (Col. 1:15, 16) 32. Then why did Jesus say God was good in a way that Jesus was not?(Mark 10:18) 33. Then why does Jesus have the voice of the Archangel and not the voice of God? (1st thess. 4:16) 34. Then why is the only worship given to him the same given to humans ? (Heb. 1:6) (Matt. 18:26;); (Rev. 3:9) 35. Then why do many who believe and rely on a few so called proof texts instead of the context of the consisent teachings of the entire Bible? 36.then how can Jesus be commanded to do anything? (John 12:49), (deutronemy 18:18) 37. Then why did Steven see 2 separate entities God & Jesus and not just one god or 3 person's? (Acts 7:55) 38. Then how could Jesus be seen at God's right hand?(Luke 22:69); (Acts 7;55); (Romans 8:34) 39. Then how could Jesus be exalted not to become God himself, but to the position of the right hand of God?(,Acts 2:33) 40. Then why would he have to receive a revelation from God?(rev. 1:1) 41. Then why is he called God's begotten Son before he came to Earth? (John 3:16); (Galations 4:4), (1st John 4:9) 42. Then how could he have a father (John 20:17) 43. Then how could he come in Flesh? (1st Kings 8:27); (Acts 17:24, 25) 44. Then why did Jesus not come in his own Name? (John 5:41-44) 45. Then why did Jesus come down from Heaven to do God's will and Not His Own? (Luke 22:42); (John 6:38) (John 5:30) (John 8:42) 46. Then how could Jesus appear before God when he went back to (Heaven)? (Hebrews 9:24) 47. Then how could Jesus die? Can God die? Can part of God die? (Romans 5:10); (Acts 5:30); (Habbuk 1:12); ,(1st time. 6:16); (Numbers 23:19) (1st Cor. 15:3); (Plsams 90:2); (Daniel 6:25-26) 48. Then why is it that God ressurrected Jesus? (Acts 2:32) (Acts 5:30) (Romans 10:9,10) 49. Then why can we see him if No Man has seen God at any time? (John 1:18) 50. Then why is there not one clear scripture where Jesus is called God the Son, (Equal to those declaring God the Father) 51. How is it that the Jews rounded up some false witnesses to make up lies to obtain a death sentence for Jesus, but niether the Jewish officials nor even one of those false witnesses made a claim that Jesus was God or Equally god? (Matthew 26:59-67) 52. John summed up his whole Gospel by saying that it was written that we may believe that Jesus is Christ, the son of God. Why is there no mention in that summary of the entire Gospel of what would be the Most important thing of all that Jesus is God? (John 20:31)
Jehovah is God Almighty.....(Plasms 83:18) Jehovah is the Most High. (King james Bible) (luke 1:32) Calls Jesus the Son of the Most High. Jesus is Jehovah's Son (John 17:3) Eternal(Everlasting ) Life. Have to know them both.Amen
@@tiffanywright6653 There is one thing you have missed which totally mis characterizes the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus Himself said if you have seen Him you have seen the Father. Apart from Jesus Christ you have no part in the Father. *** MATTHEW 28 18And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. *** Not only did the Father give all power to Jesus Christ, He Himself says observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. This seems curious as you would have to conced that if the Father has given Him ALL as in ALL power in heaven and earth.....then please explain who it is that could hold such power. Another insight into who Jesus is: *** LUKE 9 34While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud. 35And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. *** You see Lenell, the Father Himself has told you and me to HEAR HIM (Jesus Christ). Not one knows the Father but by Jesus Christ! So for anyone to bypass the Son Jesus Christ (God Himself via His Son) you are in rebellion seeking the Father ...ON YOUR OWN TERMS which will leave you without the precious blood of Jesus Christ to cover your sins. In other words you are doomed because of the rejection of the only way by which you may be saved....Namely God Himself through Jesus Christ (yes, His son). You go to the Father in vain if you think you can bypass His Son Jesus Christ and forego what He told His own disciples. Here is the conclusion of the matter: *** JOHN 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? ***

(Matthew 16:15-17) when Jesus asked his (Disciples) who do they think he is let's see how they responded it was differently then the (Jews) his faithful (Followers) Said you are the (Son) of the living God. And Jesus responded and said (Blessed) you are Simon Son of Jonah, for this was revealed to you by my what? (Father) in Heaven.

Not only admit your wrong doing by saying 'sorry,' but also by turning from all sins no longer practicing them willingly. You have to be sincere. Just saying sorry isn't enough! And repentance in the greek means a change in mind.
But the problem with adding the works to repentance is that we would never be saved until we had completely mastered good works and no longer stumbled and did no more bad works. When would anyone ever overcome their own sin enough for salvation to even begin? But the Bible says that we are saved by grace through faith, not of works, so as pious as it sounds to say that we must not sin anymore, that cannot be the qualifications for salvation from sin. True faith will result in works, but we ate saved without any works at all. So, since the word means change of mind, and it is toward a belief that is with the heart, I assume that repentance means a change of heart, and one that brings the person into agreement with the convicting Holy Spirit about sin. I mainly go by examples in the Bible to understand repentance: Zacchaeus and Mary Magdalen; the thief on the cross; the publican who wouldn't even lift his eyes toward heaven, but beat his breast and said "God, have mercy upon me...". Those are all pictures of repentance. And when we turn to Jesus in sincere faith, in response to the Holy Spirit, God does not just leave us alone. He works with us to bring us into conformity with the image of Jesus. So the fact that we cannot hold on to everything that we felt when we were so under conviction, is okay, because God still knows them and can bring them back into our remembrance. He is still the same; He is a Savior, not just a judge, and our spiritual growth is His work, and He has promised not to quit until He has accomplished what He set out to do. Changed behavior is a result of repentance, but mere repentance doesn't even know how it's going to change, only that it is wrong and must change.
It is important to understand what the meaning of baptism is. Baptism means to be immersed. In Matthew 3:11 John says: "I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire” another was of saying this is that Jesus will immerse you with the Holy Spirit. I can go on and on about this but I encourage you to dig in on what the Bible is truly teaching about baptism. At one point Paul puts his hands on people and they are given the Holy Spirit. You can always go back to the thief on the cross and see he was not immersed in water but was saved.
Ryan Hollingsworth yes, and he never said baptism for the remission of sins would stop. Acts 2:38 ESV - And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 1 Peter 3:21 KJV - The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
You reciev the Spirit of God when your repent and put your trust in the gospel Ephesians 1:13. Not at baptism keep in mind acts 2 Is to the nation of Israel read a few verses before 38 v 22¶Ye men of Israel, hear these words Then we read 36¶Therefore let all the house of Israel know assured
This comment is from the love of my heart for the honest seekers of the ‘ Truth ‘ ! There is no need to ramble on , drowning in ignorance of Gods word - The Bible . Firstly , Jesus warned us of future False prophets or evangelisers ! I must say , having great respect for Ray Comfort & the ‘ Living Waters Ministry ‘ particularily their sensitive , but urgent approach in teaching the Gospel , I now need to draw a line under ! . Unfortunately their doctrine is sadly flawed by many false teachings . ‘ woe ‘ to anyone who falsely takes it upon himself to obscure the true gospel message of ‘ Gods ‘ word . This particular interview for some reason has been intentionally named & highlighted as an interview with a practising Jehovah’s Witness . I am saddened & disappionted that any ministry upholding Gods values , seeks to evangelise on the one hand , but falsely if not intentionally to discredit a particular religious denomination such as the Witnesses . There are so many false teachings I would like to point out . But this would take up considerable space . Remarkably Two significant & profound things occurred when John the Baptist , baptised Jesus . ( 1 ) Luke 3 vs 22 - God’s Holy Spirit descended from heaven in the form of Dove & spoke ! ( an affirmation ) . ‘ This is my Son , the beloved one , whom I have approved . ( 2 ) Luke 4 - Far more significantly , whilst God’s son ( Jesus - now 30 years old ) was in prayer to his Father , being led by holy spirit in the wilderness ( for 40 days ) . The Devil ( Satan - the fallen angel ) began to try and tempt Jesus , ultimately offering authority over all the kingdoms of the Earth & its inhabitants . The Lesson here cannot be disputed ! ! ! Jesus is God’s literal son How can a fallen angel have authority over the Creator ‘ God ‘ ( Jehovah ) , so as to be able to offer God himself , any of the kingdoms he has created ? What obvious nonesence . How can the Devil tempt God So Jesus must be Gods literal son ! ( miraculously transformed from his original spirit existence at the beginning of creation ) by his father to a human existence thru Mary ‘s conception . This is endorsed by the Ressurection hope of everyone who puts their faith in the recognition of Jesus and the ransom sacrifice for all mankind’s sins . God ( Jehovah ) cannot die . He is eternal & everlasting . How could he sacrifice himself as the Creator of All things . It would not be a sacrifice ! Unless Jesus was his literal Son . Amen
Sorry to disappoint all those Trinitarians . But simply ask yourself , if Jesus is God then exactly who was he praying to on many occasions throughout his ministry , particularily In the wilderness and in the garden of Gersenemy . On all these occasions he is earnestly & passionately talking to his Father as a son . Please do not insult our creator ‘ Jehovah ‘ & our loving father . After all , we are meant to reason the Scriptures . Why would any of Gods words be ambiguous . May God bless all those seeking his righteousness & future Earthly kingdom .
plasms 83:18) Jehovah is the Most High. (King james Bible) (luke 1:32) Calls Jesus the Son of the Most High. Jesus is Jehovah's Son (John 17:3) Eternal(Everlasting ) Life. Have to know them both.Amen
I can't believe how Christians are deceived to believe that we can live in known sin and call ourselves Christians. Jesus never condemned anyone , but he did say to go and sin no more! And I don't believe that was a suggestion! I don't know you, but if you or anyone you know are living a sinful lifestyle , an unrepentant lifestyle , it's time to take being a Christian seriously and avoid the temptation of this world! God bless!
LSmoove 79 In the beginning was The WORD, and the WORD was with GOD , and the WORD was GOD..... in other words GOD was in the beginning all by Himself and with Himself ...... If you read further that WORD(which was indeed said to be GOD HIMSELF) became flesh and dwelt among us.
A great conversation which you kept going in love. Repentance is really a 180 degree turn from sin,the world to Jesus mercy. . It not of of ourselves but the finished works of Jesus. When we realize that we need a savior we all have to do business with Jesus by calling o Jesus directly and Jesus snatches us from the kingdom of darkness to Jesus kingdom of love and light. Baptism always followed immediately after believing and is always full immersion and being filled with the Holy Spirit immediately. We spend the rest of our lives renewing our minds by God’s word as we become living stones of the spiritual temple Call on Jesus right now and there’s no use calling on Michael as he is only an Angel and won’t be able to hear you. Jesus is omnipresent as where two or more come together in Jesus name Jesus is there present Mt 18:20
Neither of which are The Way, The Truth and the Life! Johovah's Witnesses believe that THEY are going to be the 144,000 stamped by God. Oh..they WILL BE here, that's a fact..but, it CLEARLY says in scripture that these will be the 12 tribes of Israel..12,000 x 12,000 = 144,000 There aren't, have never and never will be 144,000 "marked Jehovah's Witnesses! It isn't scripture and is NOT correct. It may be THEIR doctrine but remember "doctrines of devil's". This is a false religion and a cult. If you are a "witness", come out of this NOW!! There is only one way to the Father! Read your KJV and not that book 'they give you'! I mean you no harm. Like him, I am trying to show you where the truth is! Please! People.. abandon this cult. And, for God's sake, don't convert to Mormonism or Scientology. I understand that all of these want to serve God.. including Catholicism, which is the worst one of all! There is no 'Vicar of Christ', no purgatory and no other man has the power to 'forgive sins'. It's insulting, also for a priest or the poop to think he can COMMAND the Lord to magically come down from Heaven and turn into a piece of bread! This is ALL blasphemy! When we have this same ceremony in a Protestant church, it is symbolic. "Do this in remembrance of Me" My pastor does not claim that this IS the body of Christ or His blood. Catholics do make this claim and, as for being a "Vicar", that means Christ on Earth! He is, but He lives in the 'temple' - you! "Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world" Whenever I see the poop on t.v., I think 'False Prophet'. Why? Many reasons. The first and most important is the fact that, this poop is trying to unite all world religions under the guise of 'Peace and Safety's - two VERY dangerous words. "For when they shall say 'peace and safety, sudden destruction shall come upon them. Then, there's the schooling Jesuits are REQUIRED to complete. "Professing themselves to become wiser, they became fools." I could go on and on as to why ALL of these are dangerous. I also find it strangely suspicious that the Catholic Church is the only one that Exorcisms seem to have an effect on a demon. There'ore going on here than you realize. If people are convinced that the Catholic Church is the only place to be able to exorcise demons, that's because it causes MANY others to convert to that religion. It's not just one soul involved here. There's an agenda. They hate people like me that expose this hidden agenda. If you already see this, then, you are already ahead of the game! "It is appointed unto men once to die, then the judgement." If you do not have Christ as your attorney, then that's like going to court with out a lawyer..and, there is NO better lawyer than the Lord Jesus! I had a dream (?) a few years back. I was in a desert location, possibly Israel itself, and I was leaning against the door of an old rundown shack. I heard, in the distance, a woman's voice yelling: He's coming! Jesus is coming!" Much to my surprise,He was first in line! He wasn't what I expected though. He had shorter hair than the traditional paintings..about shoulder length. He walked up to me but didn't say a word. He simply smiled and walked past me as He entered my humble little home. There was an overwhelming feeling of mercy, compassion..and a love I'd had NEVER felt before! It was so overpowering that I woke up in tears! I spent the rest of the night trying to get back to Him. I KNEW I was in God's presence. When you are, you KNOW it! It was as real as the day is long! Only once has this ever happened. I believe it was Him telling me not to worry. He was not going to forsake me. He can not lie. He's God! This is NOT some fabricated story either! It really happened. Now, everyday, I pray that this will be the day that I get to be with Him again. If this vision would have continued, I would have been able to sup with Him..and,He would have with me. I keep thinking about what He said: "If I knock and any man opens the door, I will come in.." That person was ME and I still cry whenever I think about that night. But, now I know He is always with me and He knows me! After all, He had my name in His blood, wriiten on Him on the cross! Christianity has been called 'the thinking man's religion'. So complex, yet simple enough for a child to understand. Why, then, are people so closed minded?.Geez, Man. You can't give your creator a few minutes to speak His case?! If you let Him, He will! Be still and know that I am your God!" Thousands of people have had such experiences yet are labeled as 'fanatics'. Well, if I'm a 'fanatic', I'm proud to be one. I know who came to me that night! This was NO dream. No dream has ever caused me such conviction. I knew He was telling me to 'straighen up, idiot! I'll be here soon and I have plans for you to spread my good news. I am NOT condemning anyone here. I'm warning you because He wants me to! Now's the time to choose. Time is VERY short. I know that because this was 2 years ago already. Look where we are now! Oh..and,one other thing: this guy is speaking 'reincarnation' and 'works'. We can NOT work our way into God's kingdom! Repentance is a way of thanking Him for what He has done. It is NOT a licence to sin! Remember this important fact!
@@ClassyElegant Yes, I am bad about that. I do apologize. I suppose I'm that way because of what I see. I guess I'm always trying to complete the picture with all the colors. Otherwise, people usually get hostile or just don't get what I'm saying. I am trying to improve though. This is "constructive criticism" and that's a good thing, not an offense. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. If only others were as kind.. Oh, I almost forgot the reason I started intentionally doing it. I noticed that, when people did that, it always cut them off with that "read more" thing. When I tried, it wouldn't let me and I missed out on half of what the point was. That's where it began. You've probably seen that too. Still, I do understand.

You don’t have to wait for salvation, salvation is a promise now into eternity. John 11:23-26 👑 "Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” Martha said to Him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.” Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?” She said to Him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.”
I would think that Jesus' words are clear. Salvation is a future hope. No one can claim to be saved and then die. That would be a contradiction in terms. Just a thought to help.
How do you count the number of Jehovah’s Witnesses? We count as Jehovah’s Witnesses only those who are actively preaching the good news of God’s Kingdom each month. (Matthew 24:14) This includes those who have been baptized as Witnesses as well as those who, though not yet baptized, qualify to share in the preaching work. Does a person have to donate money to be counted as a Witness? No. Donations have no relevance as to whether a person is counted as a Witness or has any particular assignment or privilege in our organization. (Acts 8:18-20) In fact, most donations are made anonymously. Each Witness donates his time, energy, and resources to our worldwide work according to his own desire and circumstances.-2 Corinthians 9:7. How do you know how many are actively witnessing? Each month, Witnesses report their preaching activity to their local congregation. This report is made voluntarily. Congregation reports are tabulated, and the totals are sent to the local branch office. The branch sends the totals for each country or territory to our world headquarters. At the end of every service year, the peak number of Witnesses for each land during that year is determined. These figures are added together to determine the number of Witnesses worldwide. Detailed reports for each country are published in the “Around the World” section on our website. These reports encourage us, just as similar reports encouraged the early Christians.-Acts 2:41; 4:4; 15:3. Do you count those associated with your organization who do not preach? Although we do not include such ones in the number of Witnesses, we welcome them in our congregations. Most of them attend the annual Memorial of Christ’s death, so the number of such ones can be roughly determined by the difference between the attendance at this meeting and the number of Witnesses. In 2019, the attendance at the Memorial was 20,919,041. Many who do not attend our meetings benefit from our free home Bible study program. During 2019, we conducted an average of 9,618,182 Bible studies each month, some of which were held with several individuals at the same time. Why are government census figures for the number of Witnesses higher than your figures? Government census bureaus often determine their figures by asking people which religious group they identify themselves with. For example, the U.S. Census Bureau states that their surveys “sought to determine whether the respondents regarded themselves as adherents of a religious community,” adding that the resulting figures are “subjective rather than objective.” By contrast, we count as Jehovah’s Witnesses only those who preach to others and who report that activity, not those who merely identify themselves as Witnesses. Also the record of an average of 700 baptized per day worldwide shows very well that the global witnessing activity of the good news of the Kingdom of God in harmony with the command of Jesus Christ at Matthew 24:14 and Matthew 28: 19,20 is a successful fulfillment of prophecies according to the apostolic pattern of Acts 1: 8 and Acts 5:42 making practical what Acts 15: 14-17 reports about today. The reality belongs to Jesus Christ because he is being blessed by Jehovah. Thanks, Jehovah!
While I would object to your use of Christendom's self-serving distinction of "Christain" nor "Jehovah's Witness." When in fairness it should be appropriately labeled as ... "He is neither a Trinitarian nor a Jehovah's Witness." And let the question of which one is truly "Christain" to be determined elsewhere. But anyway, I wholeheartedly agree that this individual is not a JW. Therefore discrediting everything Comfort's LWM says in refutation of his views a fallacious "strawman" argument.
@@H.T.2forever JWs deny that Jesus is an eternal uncreated divine person of God and that this divine person died for our sins. This is the foundation of the Gospels it's what the Apostles and early church fathers died for preaching. If one denies these key points, then they are no more christian than muslims. If one denies Christ's own words or if they are forced to call them corrupt, then they agree with Jesus' enemies and not the Apostles, His enemies called Him a blasphemer and had Him killed for His claims of Divinity and equality with His Father who is God, therefore if one finds themselves in agreement with Jesus' enemies, then they can hardly be considered Christian, which by definition is a follower and believer in Christ and everything He said and did.

But the **Son** of the eternal uncreated God (YHWH) who came to earth as a human being and ultimately give his life as a ransome sacrifice for a fallen mankind.

As they'll accept the various charges and accusations of Jesus's enemies as accurate and truthful that they feel will help support the "Deity of Christ" as taught by Trinitarianism. But then conveniently reject all their other claims as false of Christ being a "sabbath-breaker", a "sinner", "blasphemer", "having a demon", ect. But this is totally inconsistent cherry-picking and a double-standard. For if you're going to accept the views of Christ's adversaries as an accurate indicator of what Jesus claims about himself in some places, then by what right do you not accept them in all? And if they can be wrong in their other accusations against Christ. Then they can be just as wrong at the places Trinitarians want to accept of them accurate. Sorry, but you really can't have it both ways ...
@@H.T.2foreverwell then, you need to go and read the scriptures again and maybe this time take every verse in the context it's given, because it can be found throughout the Scriptures it's impossible to misunderstand if read in context. The Son Jesus is indeed a divine person of God, and this doesn't mean that there is another god bedside the Father or two separate Beings. It means the nature and Being of God, exists in the divine persons of both the Father and the Son, who are but ONE God.. they reveal the same divine nature, not two distinct or conflicting natures. To suggest that this wasn't mentioned in the scriptures or that it wasn't mentioned before the 4th Century is intellectually dishonest .. Besides the scriptures which I will get to later, there are an abundance of letters written by the early church fathers and early christian writers, which confirm Christ's Deity and the Trinity. These letters date well before any council ever formed, these early christian writer's letters were written in response to these heretical views you hold, rebuking and correcting them, many of these men were students of the Apostles themselves!! One such writer was Ignatius ( 35AD -107AD) nearly 260 years before the councils ever came together!! Others were Theophilus, Bishop of Antioch he lived around 165 years before the councils, He who wrote about the Trinity, which is simply a word used to explain the concept of how God exists and how His Being is revealed throughout the Bible.. So how dare you state that the church fathers died in vein!! They knew the Apostles personally!! they were taught by them and you claim that they were wrong? That you know better, how arrogant are you!!.. you don't know more about the Apostles and Jesus Himself, than those men and their letters confirm, that God is, Father Son and Holy Spirit and that Jesus is the divine Son. Now to get to the scriptures themselves....they teach that Jesus is the eternal uncreated divine Son, verses like (John 1:1) and ( Mark 2:28) confirm this. And in ( Romans 9: 5), (Colossians 1:16-17 and 2:9) and (Philippians 2 : 5-8 ) it speaks about Jesus existing before heaven and before earth, before the visible and invisible. So, how can a created being exist before heaven and earth? before space and time?? Only the Being of God can exist in such a way and not a created being!! Since Jesus existed before time and space, it makes Him God.., in the incarnation Jesus took an additional nature, that of a human being alongside His divine nature, so the eternal divine person of the Son, existed with two natures but there was never a time, when the Son's divine nature didn't exist... only a time when His human nature didn't exist before the incarnation, it's His divine nature that is identical to His Father's nature. When Trinitarians use the term Being, it's in reference to God's nature and essence, the manner in which God exists, as such the Father, Son and Holy Spirit share the same Being having the same nature and essence. When Jesus said, I only do what my Father does in (John 5:19) think about what He is saying here... He only does what God does!! Now what mere human can claim to do, only do what God does?? We humans do many things that God doesn't do, sin being the most obvious, not even the Angels can claim such a thing!!....it's because of these claims of divinity, He was charged with blasphemy and killed.
@@mykingofkings1439 wrote: Same problem though ... Where does scripture describe God as multiple "Persons of" or "within" the "one God" that way? And where do the early church Fathers really teach it prior to Nicea? > No, the opposite is true since there is no mention anywhere in scripture about "Persons of/within" the same God, separation of "Person" from "Being." Or anything about God's "essences", "natures", "substances", etc. All of that is unscriptural Greek philosophy developed centuries after Christ and the apostles mainly from around the 4th century. And must be read back into the text of scripture by Trinitarians ever since using extreme eisegesis. Good, start with them then ... Show me examples where any of them taught what I just pointed out? > Yes, and I'll repeat it again .... If the Church Fathers suffered and died teaching Trinitarianism, then they did die for nothing because tthey were teaching false and really blasphemous doctrine about God irrespective who they may have personally known. And any perceived personal arrogance from me has nothing to do with it. But I find no evidence of Trinitarian theology in the writings of the ANF to begin with anyway. Until much later approaching the 4th century when unscriptural philosophy really begins to infuse their works. And I welcome you to prove the earliest Fathers like Ignatius, whom Trinitarians seemingly love to quote all the time, did this as well. > And none of those passages you reference really teach anything consistent with Trinitarianism. Even if they are interpreted to say that Jesus is God, to be commensurate with Trinitarianism those passages would have to say that Christ is not God, but a "Person of God." Since if Jesus were really "God," then it would make him the entire Trinity. And like most such Trinity "prooftexts", when all grammatical, contextual, and text critical considerations are honestly bought to bear on those verses. They actually teach the opposite of what Trinitarians claim about them. That Jesus is not God, but the Father is with Christ his Son as a powerful though inferior divine being alongside him when in heaven. > Before the physical heavens and earth, yes created beings can exist as did all angels. But before the spirit realm of heaven where God and the angels exist? No, what scripture says Christ existed before that? > But what scripture specifically says Jesus was "before time and space?" Another unsubstantiated philosophical assertion. > But again, like most Trinitarians you are only making philosophical assumptions about that which you have yet to prove. Therefore your reasoning is fallacious and circular. For where do the Bible writers ever say Jesus is "before time and space" instead of as the first one born into it? (Col. 1:15; Rev. 3:14). Or that he "took on an additional nature of flesh" instead of actually **becoming it** as Jn. 1:14 says? > I'm well aware of what Trinitarians are trying to claim about God's "Being." But where does scripture actually say it is the problem? For instance, where does scripture describe God's "Being" as an "essence" or "nature?" And "shared in by three Persons?" Or alters the grammar of the second Greek "θεος" at Jn. 1:1 from a count noun into a qualitative mass noun, etc.? It doesn't! As the Trinity is based post-biblical Nicean-Chalcedon theology from the 4th century read back into scripture as I said. > Yes, Christ is in full unity and accordance with what his Father does in purpose, motive, and goal. Just as true Christians should be in such a unison in imitation of Jesus Christ. > And again, just more baseless assumptions by you and other Trinitarians that are not corroborated in scripture. Since scripture does not teach thst Jesus was a "mere man", but a perfect sinless one while on earth (1 Pe 2:19-24). Nor does Jn. 5:19 apply to Christ only when he was a man on earth, but certainly in heaven as a glorious divine being as well. And where does the Bible deny that angels are incapable of imitating the Father this way as his divine messengers and representatives? Once more , you merely assume that which you have not actually proven. And then dogmatically assert it as though scripture actually teaches it when it really does no such of a thing.
We are a SPIRIT that lives in a body and have a SOUL ( thinker, shoser, emotion..) so our Soul determined on who we choose the Spirit (God) or the flesh Devil. So our SPIRIT lives forever.

@@61sunset yes they can have mustaches that's it. I was only refurring to beards when I said facial hair. My father and brothers have mustaches and have all been elders for many years.
I think. The way he thinks about death. Death is only he said. Correct me if am wrong, cause I ain't gonna rewind it 😁. But yea, the way he thinks & the way he was speaking about the questions he was being ask...
Christ only has as much deity as father has bestowed upon him. His deity is only relative to the father. Christ would have nothing, would not even exist if it was not for father. Rev 3:14; John 1:1,18 Christ's god ship was begotten - made by the father. Christ cannot therefore be almighty god, he cannot be the father or equal to the father in any way. He is the son.
tim spangler begotten means that he came into existence by the will of the father. Christ owes his existence to the father as John 1:18 and Rev 3:14 clearly shows. Revelation 1:1 tells us the vision was given to Christ from God which again shows the fathers superiority of Christ. Father is greater than Christ, whether Christ walked as a man on earth or is a spirit in heaven.
"Father is greater than Christ, " Jesus said that those who believe in him will do GREATER works than him. Since Jesus died to save mankind, what greater work than that are his believers doing? John 14:2 "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father." The point I am trying to make here is that greater does not mean better. The Father is not better than Jesus because they are equally Almighty God in nature, like believers works are not better than Jesus dying to save mankind but can be greater ( as in converting more people than Jesus did). When Christians speak of Jesus as being Almighty God, they mean that he had the same nature as his Father and was equally with the Father in the beginning and YES his is the son, but is equally Almighty God. :) ( In my theological understanding). You can be the Son of God and be God at the same time. Jesus said he was The Son of man and yet was man at the same time. You know John 1:1 " In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."John 1:14 The word became flesh... Forget the watctower NWT of John 1:1 calling the word 'a' god, it's been fudged by dishonest or amateur watchtower writers. "Christ owes his existence to the father" Not sure what you are getting at but how do understand this ?John 17:5 " And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was." I like your channel by the way. Keep up the awareness for the poor JW's. They deserve better than they are getting from their organisation. PS An interesting way to understand only begotten, is think of what do cats beget.... cats? What do Humans beget...…. humans, what does God beget..... Has to be of the same nature God but there is only one God according to God in the bible? Right? Jesus had two natures? God and Man? It's all a bit incredible, I know, but I'm not a believer anyway so I don't get too wound up over the issue. :)
Jesus Is God, you are firm in your belief and I am firm in mine. I cannot accept that Yashua is greater than the God who made him as it is clear from scripture that Christ was begotten by the father John 1:18.
nickgcbound I agree cats beget cats, humans beget humans so father - Almighty God made or brought about the existence of Christ so they are of the same kind, Almighty God made another god. Hence, Christ owes his existence to the father and in no way could ever be equal to him, just as no other spirit being could ever have been equal to Christ as all other beings came into existence through the power of Christ. Col 1:13-17 Christ has glory from all other loyal spirits in heaven. Father loves and glorifies his son and wants other creation also to love and glorify him.
" Almighty God made or brought about the existence of Christ so they are of the same kind," Well Jesus already existed prior ( The Logos John 1:1) and created everything, that's the unique part and perhaps difficult to comprehend that he is God the creator, not the father, but the son ( assuming the bible is true and a real history of events, that is). " all other beings came into existence through the power of Christ. Col 1:13" The word 'OTHER' is not in the Greek text. The watchtower added that to their own NWT to support their home made theology of a first created Jesus and to reduce him to a mere created angel, robbing him of his Deity. Colossians Chapter 1 15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. Please Note. also that Firstborn does not mean First created. Look up firstborn and it's meaning. You seem to have a lot of watchtower theology in your views/beliefs?I hope you don't think Jesus is the Archangel (Michael). Read Hebrews Chapter one, in case you do. It speaks of Jesus' divine Inheritance and throne ship and superiority to angels by his nature.Having said all that theological rambling,do keep up the good work, you obviously care about injustices and crimes against children and that shows you have great integrity.
Only God/Jesus can judge us 100% correctly. God/Jesus knows when evil has been done on purpose or because of other reasons/factors independent by that person. However, it is very important to continuously improve not only our answer/reaction to the evil from around us (not done by us), but also our own choices/deeds to never cause any damage or/and useless suffering to others and to ourselves, respectively to always strive to turn evil into good in any situation. As Jesus said: *_"Be perfect therefore, as your Heavenly Father is perfect"_* Matthew 5, 48
ARE THE DEAD REALLY DEAD? Death just might be one of the most misunderstood subjects today. For many, death is shrouded in mystery and evokes dread, uncertainty, and hopelessness. Others believe that their deceased loved ones are not dead at all, but instead live with them or in other realms. Millions are confused about the relationship between the body, spirit, and soul. But does it really matter what you believe? Yes-absolutely! What you believe about the dead will have a profound impact on what happens to you in the near future. 1. How did humans get here in the first place? “The Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being” (Genesis 2:7). Answer: God made us from dust in the beginning. 2. What happens when a person dies? “Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, and the spirit will return to God who gave it” (Ecclesiastes 12:7). Answer: The body turns to dust again, and the spirit goes back to God, who gave it. The spirit of every person who dies-whether saved or unsaved-returns to God at death. 3. What is the “spirit” that returns to God at death? “The body without the spirit is dead” (James 2:26). “The spirit of God is in my nostrils” (Job 27:3 KJV). . Answer: The spirit that returns to God at death is the breath of life. Nowhere in all of God’s book does the “spirit” have any life, wisdom, or feeling after a person dies. It is the “breath of life” and nothing more. 4. What is a "soul"? “The Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul” (Genesis 2:7 KJV). Answer: A soul is a living being. A soul is always a combination of two things: body plus breath. A soul cannot exist unless body and breath are combined. God’s Word teaches that we are souls-not that we have souls. 5. Do souls die? “The soul that sinneth, it shall die” (Ezekiel 18:20 KJV). “Every living soul died in the sea” (Revelation 16:3 KJV). Answer: According to God’s Word, souls do die! We are souls, and souls die. Man is mortal (Job 4:17). Only God is immortal (1 Timothy 6:15, 16). The concept of an undying, immortal soul is not found in the Bible, which teaches that souls are subject to death. Do good people go to heaven when they die? “All who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth” (John 5:28, 29). “David … is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. … For David did not ascend into the heavens” (Acts 2:29, 34). “If I wait, the grave is mine house” (Job 17:13 KJV). Answer: No. People do not go to heaven or to hell at death. They don’t go anywhere-but they wait in their graves for the resurrection. 7. How much does one know or comprehend after death? “The living know that they will die; but the dead know nothing, and they have no more reward, for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, their hatred, and their envy have now perished; nevermore will they have a share in anything done under the sun. … There is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going” (Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6, 10). “The dead do not praise the Lord” (Psalm 115:17). Answer: God says that the dead know absolutely nothing! 8. But can’t the dead communicate with the living, and aren’t they aware of what the living are doing? “Man lies down and does not rise. Till the heavens are no more, they will not awake nor be roused from their sleep. … His sons come to honor, and he does not know it; they are brought low, and he does not perceive it” (Job 14:12, 21). “Nevermore will they have a share in anything done under the sun” (Ecclesiastes 9:6). Answer: No. The dead cannot contact the living, nor do they know what the living are doing. They are dead. Their thoughts have perished (Psalm 146:4 KJV). 9. Jesus called the unconscious state of the dead “sleep” in John 11:11-14. How long will they sleep? “Man lies down and does not rise. Till the heavens are no more” (Job 14:12). “The day of the Lord will come … in which the heavens will pass away” (2 Peter 3:10). Answer: The dead will sleep until the great day of the Lord at the end of the world. In death humans are totally unconscious with no activity or knowledge of any kind. 10. What happens to the righteous dead at the second coming of Christ? “Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work” (Revelation 22:12). “The Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout. … And the dead in Christ will rise. … And thus we shall always be with the Lord” (1 Thessalonians 4:16, 17). “We shall all be changed-in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye … and the dead will be raised incorruptible. … For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality” (1 Corinthians 15:51-53). Answer: They will be rewarded. They will be raised, given immortal bodies, and caught up to meet the Lord in the air. There would be no purpose in a resurrection if people were taken to heaven at death. 11. What was the devil’s first lie on Earth? “The serpent said to the woman, ‘You will not surely die’ ” (Genesis 3:4). “That serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan” (Revelation 12:9). Answer: You will not die. 12. Why did the devil lie to Eve about death? Could this subject be more important than we think? Answer: The devil’s lie that we will not die is one of the pillars of his teachings. For thousands of years, he has worked powerful, deceptive miracles to trick people into thinking they are receiving messages from the spirits of the dead. (Examples: Magicians of Egypt-Exodus 7:11; Woman of Endor-1 Samuel 28:3-25; Sorcerers-Daniel 2:2; A slave girl-Acts 16:16-18.) A Solemn Warning In the near future, Satan will again use sorcery-as he did in the prophet Daniel’s day-to deceive the world (Revelation 18:23). Sorcery is a supernatural agency that claims to receive its power and wisdom from the spirits of the dead. Posing as Jesus' Disciples Posing as godly loved ones who have died, saintly clergymen who are now dead, Bible prophets, or even the apostles of Christ (2 Corinthians 11:13), Satan and his angels will deceive billions. Those who believe the dead are alive, in any form, will likely be deceived. 14. Why will God's people not be deceived? “They received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so” (Acts 17:11). “If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them” (Isaiah 8:20). Answer: God’s people will know from their study of His book that the dead are dead, not alive. They will know that a “spirit” claiming to be a deceased loved one is really a devil! God’s people will reject all teachers and miracle workers who claim to receive special “light” or work miracles by contacting the spirits of the dead. And God’s people will likewise reject as dangerous and false all teachings that claim the dead are alive in any form, anywhere. 15. Back in Moses’ day, what did God command should be done to people who taught that the dead were alive? “A man or a woman who is a medium, or who has familiar spirits, shall surely be put to death; they shall stone them with stones” (Leviticus 20:27). Answer: God insisted that mediums and others with “familiar spirits” (who claimed to be able to contact the dead) should be stoned to death. This shows how God regards the false teaching that the dead are alive. 16. Will the righteous people who are raised in the resurrection ever die again? “Those who are counted worthy to attain that age, and the resurrection from the dead … nor can they die anymore” (Luke 20:35, 36). “God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away” (Revelation 21:4). Answer: No! Death, sorrow, crying, and tragedy will never enter into God’s new kingdom. “When this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: ‘Death is swallowed up in victory’ ” (1 Corinthians 15:54). 17. Belief in reincarnation is expanding rapidly today. Is this teaching biblical? “The living know that they will die; but the dead know nothing. … Nevermore will they have a share in anything done under the sun” (Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6). Answer: Almost half the people on earth believe in reincarnation, a teaching that the soul never dies but is instead continually reborn in a different kind of body with each succeeding generation. This teaching, however, is contrary to Scripture. The Bible Says After death a person: returns to dust (Psalms 104:29), knows nothing (Ecclesiastes 9:5), possesses no mental powers (Psalms 146:4), has nothing to do with anything on earth (Ecclesiastes 9:6), does not live (2 Kings 20:1), waits in the grave (Job 17:13), and continues not (Job 14:1, 2). Satan's Invention We learned in questions 11 and 12 that Satan invented the teaching that the dead are alive. Reincarnation, channeling, communication with spirits, spirit worship, and the "undying soul" are all inventions of Satan, with one aim to convince people that when you die you are not really dead. When people believe that the dead are alive, "spirits of devils, working miracles" (Revelation 16:14) and posing as spirits of the dead will be able to deceive and lead them astray virtually 100 percent of the time (Matthew 24:24).
Because 9 of the 10 commandments, Jesus (whom all authority is given) took from physical to spiritual (the heart), and the 4th was not. Jesus fulfilled mosaic covenant, bringing in His own. Under His covenant christians obey the Lord and Savior by coming together and remembering His death, burial, & resurrection on the day it was established under direction of the testator on shavuot. 7×7 shabbats +1 is on a sunday. You who seek to be justified by the law, your fallen from grace. Gal 5:4 You dont want to be a child of a slave, but of the free woman, woman of promise. “Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.” You dont want to be cast out friends, come to the faith of Jesus.
@@zelindojoaolay2640 He did.. Law was put into place "til the seed should come". Its no longer a physical law.. "You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart." Thats an example of Jesus changing basics principles of which to live by. I challenge you, to find the other 9 and see what the new testament has to say about them.

JESUS is a CREATION BY GOD! He is called the firstborn and beginning of the CREATION BY GOD (COL 1, REVelation ) ALSO JOHN 5:26 MENTIONS THAT THE FATHER GAVE JESUS LIFE. JESUS WAS MADE LORD (ACTS 2) therefore WAS MADE, HEBREWS mentioned "TODAY" he became a SON , so has a beginning. john 1:1 mentions THE WORD WAS IN THE BEGINNING, so Jesus was LIMITED "IN THE BEGINNING" Unlike GOD who is FROM FOREVER (Psalms 90:2). NO MAN HAS SEEN GOD and if they see GOD's face THEY WILL DIE. Jesus was seen by many and they didn't DIE so JESUS IS NOT THE ALMIGHTY GOD. JOHN 6:57 - JESUS SAID “ I LIVE BEC OF THE FATHER” SO JESUS’ LIFE was dependent on the Father and his SOURCE OF LIFE IS THE FATHER as John 5:26 states as well

Thanks for sharong everyone of your videos it is wonderful to learn different ways to preach the gospel. I was wo dering if you ever come down to Ireland I am sure we can learn lost from you in our church to keep strengthen our Outreach ministry!
Excellent way this man was interviewed! There was so much humility and compassion coming towards this man from the interviewer. Great job!
Too bad it's a pack of lies
@@ucanliv4ever no actually its indeed true 👑☀️👑💓
This wasnt an 'interview', it was a clumsy attempt at conversion. It was also incredibly dishonest, and bearing false witness isn't absolved just because you think you're doing the right thing.
@@MichaelJohnson-kq7qg false witness?
@@ucanliv4ever prove it
There is nothing more beautiful than repentance.
THE MILLION-DOLLAR QUESTION: Will you go to Heaven when you die? Have you lied, stolen, used God’s name in vain, or lusted (which Jesus said was adultery, Matthew. 5:28)? If so, God sees you as a liar, thief, blasphemer, and adulterer at heart. If you die in your sins, you will end up in a terrible place called Hell. But there's good news. Though we broke God's Law, Jesus paid the fine by dying on the cross: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life" (John. 3:16). Then Jesus rose from the dead and was seen by hundreds of eyewitnesses. He fulfilled all the prophecies of the promised Savior. Please, today, repent and trust Jesus, and God will forgive you and grant you the gift of eternal life (Ephesians. 2:8,9).777
What an amazing way to preach gospel. Smart, loving and compassionate.
Not at all. It's an entirely dishonest way to preach these gospel. Bearing false witness isnt okay just because you think you're doing it for a good reason.
@@MichaelJohnson-kq7qg So, according to this standard, Jehovah Witnesses are dishonest, since they bear false witness. I can't agree with your reasoning, since I think they are only following what the Watchtower tells them. It's not their fault.
@@meusisto why are you saying JW bear false witness? I'm talking about deliberate acts- that's what bearing false witness is - like when this guy pretends he is just interviewing someone, but is actually lying to them, because he is trying to convert them. Read your scripture - being wrong isn't sin, doubting isn't sin - bearing false witness is.
@@MichaelJohnson-kq7qg I understand your point and partly agree. Jehovah Witnesses are simply wrong. The Watchtower deceives them though. I agree with this part. As for the interview, I don't understand why it can't be "can I interview you about your views and offer you a possibility of view of all this?"?
@@meusisto I'm not sure what your point is. The guy asks someone if they can interview them, and then uses leading questions to bring it to the point where he is preaching to him. Preaching is fine, but be honest about it. If you're witnessing requires false witness, you're a false witness.
Today, is the day of salvation, no man is guaranteed of a tomorrow!
That's what true repentance is, forsaking the old belief and turning to believe and accept the good news that he heard.
Ex-Jehovah's witness here. I was born again in 2001, Jesus is so amazing ! Thank you Jesus for your love

I hope I will meet Daren in heaven. He is truly full of positivity and love. I pray to God,i know it past a year but still praying doesnt hurt ;)
Love God with all your heart.Thinking of God all the time like two people in love.God opens our eyes to truth
I love this man

This man is not a Jehovah’s Witness. Maybe he might have been brought up as one but he’s not practicing. He has a beard for one and he’s not quite sure of the Watchtower theology.
Exactly!
I wasn't sure which one was the witness, and I think that they are quite free to grow a beard
The watchtower is a cultist book from the devil
Charles Taze Russell ,the guy who cooked up the JW cult had a beard
You can have a beard as a JW..
Thanks again and you're welcome! Take care and please pray for me!
*@ **0:48** either he's not an active Jehovah's Witness or may have forgotten but I know Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe they have a soul. They believe they ARE a soul. In other words, they believe that scripture when it speaks of a "soul" it's speaking of the body itself. And this is correct sometimes like in Genesis 2:7. But scripture also speaks of an inner soul as Jesus describes in Matthew **10:28** and Paul in 1 Thessalonians **5:23**. It's astounding to see how Jehovah's Witnesses believe their leaders convoluted biblical interpretation about the soul when scriptures like these are so clear.*
Just to humbly correct you, yes we believe that the soul is the body that has breath of life in it, not some detached spiritual entity. When you die you have a body but become soulless or without the breath of life. Furthermore, In the context of those verses Jesus is speaking of the "soul" or the life after your death through the resurrection something man cannot do. It says to not fear man bc they cannot bring you back with the breath of life or "soul" but to fear the one who can do that because he or Jehovah has that authority. Like you said the scriptures make that clear. The Bible does not contradict itself.
(Genesis 2:7) your soul is your whole self you are a walking breathing Soul. God didn't put a soul into the body like a letter into a Envelope.
(Ezikiel 18:4) The Soul who Sins Will (Die)
The (Soul) is not immortal or survives after Death it Dies. King james bible.
Please research for this topic.
The proliferation of this false teaching, the immortality of soul was uttered by the very mouth of Satan (through the snake) to Eve at the Garden of Eden. Gen 3:4 said "At this the serpent said to the woman: “You certainly will not die."
Satan the devil doesn't have to come up with a lot of new things, he just keeps playing the same old record over and over again and people still believe it. And that is what Jesus taught in his Parable of the Wheat and Weeds. The proliferation of false teachings.
Consider Acts 24:15 it says that "I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous."
Base on this verse, what will be the scenario during resurrection if the soul of the righteous are already in heaven and the soul of the unrighteous are already in hell! (If you can post your SCENARIO here)
Jehovah's Witnesses beliefs are biblical and logical (not convoluted) and so clear.
True Christians should defend true Bible teachings that's why 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 said that "For the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly, but powerful by God for overturning strongly entrenched things. 5 For we are overturning reasoning and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are bringing every thought into captivity to make it obedient to the Christ." False teaching proliferates because "among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, so that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through(2 Corinthians 4:4). We have to overturn "strongly entrenched things"; the belief of Hell, immortality of the soul, trinity and many lies and deceit that "god of this system of things has blinded the minds" of the people.
That is not at all a Jehovah 's witness. He didn't state ANY of their beliefs.
Exactly, the title of this video is misleading and is deceitful. I don't mean to be immodest but I would have gotten my electronic bible out and showed him some scriptures instead of going...ah ummm, wellll, I believe in this ahhhh and so on.
@@grantknott yes, I have been very busy going on chatrooms, and it is a full-time job calling out all the false teachers, especially those teaching that Jesus is God. It is amazing that so many people go along with this false doctrine. I am sure satan loves the fact that he deceived people into worshipping God's son, instead of God himself!
Timothy P Yes exactly Tim. The bible tells us to worship the father and exercise faith (believe) in the son
I agree with you
(plasms 83:18) Jehovah is the Most High. (King james Bible)
(luke 1:32) Calls Jesus the Son of the Most High. Jesus is Jehovah's Son
(John 17:3) Eternal(Everlasting ) Life. Have to know them both.Amen
You're a great teacher.
Mark 16:15
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Amen the commandment Christ gave years ago is being fulfilled and brought to pass.
May God bless you for the work you do. This man is lost. He doesn't believe like a JW so I think he was sent by God to you. God is good!
Man, I LOVE the patience of this brother! He did a great job honestly listening through the flow chart. He didn't argue or debate unnecessarily, but was patient with some of the points of doctrinal disagreement, and considered what other gentleman was trying to communicate.
But, then we get to 9:01, and it's hilarious! From the way this person is presenting, he's maybe got as much actual experience in outreach ministry as an average JW teenager... telling this man who likely has thousands of hours going door to door "I'm ready to give you some good news, and this is going to blow your mind..."
In one glance, you get the whole "If this were ministry school, I'd have some constructive feedback on your approach."
There's plenty that could be "argued" of course, but my brother was very humble and patient per 1 Peter 3:15. Well done.
(Also, nice to see more JWs feeling more comfortable with beards).
Ecclesiastes12:7 man turns to dust but the spirit returns to God who gave it. In that Bible verse spirit refers to our breath of life our life force. God has the power to use his Son Jesus Christ to resurrect us if we're in his memory.
Waooh, I was also convicted with this witnessing.. I really do appreciate Jesus coming and paying my sins on the cross.
Whenever I remember the lostful thought I just know that am living under Grace and not my works 😔😔
"If we confess our sins (to God),
he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unriightuosness"
1 John 1.9
@@brotherjohn8082 That is speaking to christians, not the lost..
Not that I'm a Jehovah witness but I've talked to them before and this guy is not well versed enough to be considered a Jehovah witness. He doesn't know enough of their bible.
He dose not know enough about the truth not their bible. All bibles are perversions of the original language and there fore no one translation has exact truth. Read the forward of your won copy to see how you have been mislead.
Well for sure he's definitely not of them.....not by what he struggling to explain.....
Praise Our Lord
Thanks Jehovah God for the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23) NOT eternal life in hell being tormented! God is not unjust and cruel to torture all those who don't accept Jesus Christ.
The encouraging truth of the Bible is that God is indeed a God of great mercy, wisdom and righteous judgment. As Psalms 19:9 assures us, “The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.” Deuteronomy 32:4, 5 The Rock, perfect is his activity, For all his ways are justice. A God of faithfulness who is never unjust; Righteous and upright is he. “For a certainty, God does not act wickedly.”-Job 34:12. PSALMS 103:10 READS "He has not dealt with us according to our sins, NOR HAS HE REPAID US WHAT OUR ERRORS DESERVE!"
Let us consider the ancient Israel at Jeremiah 7:30-31 " 'For the people of Judah have done what is bad in my eyes,’ declares Jehovah. ‘They have set up their disgusting idols in the house that bears my name, in order to defile it. 31 They have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, in order to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, SOMETHING THAT I HAD NOT COMMANDED AND THAT HAD NEVER EVEN COME INTO MY HEART' "
Hell is one of Satan's lies and deceits, concerning God! Satan love to defame Jehovah God; to damage the reputation of our Loving, Just, Kind and Merciful God!
You, sir, make evangelizing using the goodness test look doable. Every blessing to you and the team.
King James Version of the Holy Bible Psalms86:13 For great is thy(your) mercy towards me and thou(you) hath delivered my soul from the lowest hell. The margin for hell is the grave.
"STOP, LOOK, LISTEN: Luke 8:17" For there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed, nor is there anything carefully hidden that will never become known and never come out. "Really if you are a Baptized person who does not is part of the new covenant that jesus made with his disciples to eat the bread that represents his body and drink the wine that represents his blood, how will there be eternal life? (Luke 22: 19,20). doctrine of men or the word of GOD? " note (john chap 3: 16,17) 16- “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, so that everyone who exercises faith in him may not be destroyed, but have everlasting life. 17- For God did not send his Son into the world so that he could judge the world, but so that the world could be saved through him. "Watch (john ch. 6: 53-57) 53- So Jesus said to them: to them with all certainty: Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in them. 54- Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I I will be resurrected on the last day, 55- for my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink 56. Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood remains in union with me, and I in union with him. Just as the Father, who lives, sent me and I live because of the Father, so also he who feeds on me will live because of me. Concluding this covenant observe (John chapter 14: 6) Jesus said: “I am the path, truth and life. No one comes to the Father except through me ". notice what Jesus said: Matthew 23:13 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because they close the kingdom of heaven before men; for you yourself do not enter, nor let those who are on the way in to enter. "look at the Conclusion of Jesus (john chap 10: 09,10) 9- I am the door; everyone who enters through me will be saved, and will enter and he will go out and find pasture. 10- The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they might have life and have it in abundance.
This man seems to contradict himself, every time he answers a new question. First he believes in nothing, then he believes the soul comes back, then bad people don't get punished, then Hitler is brought up, so he says he believes in Jesus Christ, the crucifixion, and that God will judge him. Poor guy is so confused. The good news is that the more he talks, the closer he gets to the Truth. I believe strongly that all of our souls are connected, through God, and that we can transfer our love, thoughts, and intentions (good or bad) through our consciousness. He is receiving the Gospel before John even mentions it. The power of God is so strong, we can't even comprehend it. We can see that power working in him, in real time. This was truly a divine encounter! Praise God for bringing this man to hear the Gospel! I pray that He truly chooses God, and puts all of his trust in the one and only Savior! Hallelujah, and AMEN!
Amen... ALL PRAISE, GLORY AND HONOR BE UNTO JESUS CHRIST AND JESUS CHRIST ALONE

Where does it say in the Bible that right after death - the soul ends up in heaven?! After all - death was the punishment for man transgressing the law of God!
He is not a Jehovah’s witness. Concerning the Soul pls read Ezekiel 18: 20
Heck that's just one small reference to countless that concerns what happens when you die. But granny is looking down on us from heaven.... NOPE. SHE IS NOT. SHE IS DEAD IN THE GROUND.
This is important to understand so people will regain the understanding and importance of the resurrection. Without the resurrection we are all doomed. And you deny the work on the cross. Besides, why would granny go to heaven? Heaven is coming here! See revelation.

Repentance is turning from sin along with spiritual sorrow that comes with natural growth of spirit.
Well, you lose your life which belongs to God, if you try to keep it for yourself and live it your way, but if you live your life to glorify God, you will keep it!

The return of Jesus is at hand!
JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN!
📖 John 14:6 says,
" Jesus says, 'I AM THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. NO ONE COMES UNTO THE FATHER (in Heaven) BUT BY ME'.
JESUS CHRIST is the only, true way to Salvation! It’s the free gift of GOD to all those who believe and trust Him!
SALVATION! is the redemption of one’s soul from eternal destruction after death of man, on this earth, by the cleansing of the blood, and by the death and power of resurrection of Jesus Christ
📖Acts.4:12 says.
Salvation is found in no one else (except Jesus Christ), for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved."
How is SALVATION gifted to man?
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.
📖John 3:3 says,
Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, Except a man be Born Again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
How can a man be BORN-AGAIN?
To be Born-Again in spiritual sense, is to die to our old sinful nature and be born-again in the spirit, to be holy, righteous with a new nature in Christ Jesus.
👉To be born-again, we need to repent & confess our sinful past for a holy future.
What is repentance?
👉 REPENTANCE! Everyone born into this world is a Born-sinner. Human nature is a sinful nature. Sin in us has defiled us and has separated us from the Holy God!
We have to repent for all the unholy, lawless transgressions of God’s commandments done willfully or unknowingly, in order to obtain mercy and grace so that we might not be judged and fall into condemnation, the condemnation of eternal hell.
📖 Acts.3:19 says,..✔️Repent, then, and turn to GOD, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the LORD
What is confession of sins?
👉 CONFESSION! The guilt of sin and it’s condemnation is rolled away if one truly regrets his sinful past and confesses them in the presence of Jesus Christ.
📖Romans.10:9 &10
✔️That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.
📖 1 John, 1st chapter & verse 9 says..
✔️If we confess our sins, He (Jesus Christ) is faithful and just to forgive us our sins(every sin)...
The sole purpose of sending Jesus Christ into this world more than 2020 ago is this👇
📖John.3:16-17 says "
👉 GOD so loved the world (us) that He (Father GOD) gave His only begotten Son to die for us ( our redemption ), that whosoever believes in Him (Jesus) should not perish (in hell) but have everlasting life.
👉 GOD has not sent His Son to condemn the world (us), but the world (we) through Him (Jesus Christ) might be saved.

I live in Leicester and have lived there for 17 years. The interview took place on Humberstone Gate. JW's have a regular stand about a few paces from where the interview was conducted. Therefore, a public display stand would have been the natural place to conduct an interview. I also have been a JW for 27 years. His explanation of the soul demonstrates that he isn't baptized or is studying with JW. A JW will not explain a soul as 'part of God'. Also, a JW will not use the 10 commandments as their standards. Finally, JW dont generally agree to interviews as one is unsure how the information will be used. Also, the local branch has a publicity department which are happy to consider interviews. So, kindly amend the title as it seems to be a misrepresentation. The possibility of Darren being a JW is very far and removed.

Dolora, they believe in their 'translation' of the Bible, the New World 'Translation', a PERversion of God's true Word. They change many verses to fit their henotheistic, blasphemy of a theology. One that denies the core tenets of Christianity such as the Trinity, the supreme Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, that the Holy Spirit is not a Person of God but 'God's active force' (even though the Bible says that the Holy Spirit speaks, commands, is grieved - a force cannot do or feel such things! They are a cult who only listen to the Watchtower & filter everything through them - they only believe what the Watchtower teaches (which has changed over the decades & is totally contrary to the true teachings of the Scriptures!)
websurferdude Correct. They, ironically, fail to understand that Christ never changes! Nor does His word and teachings. Truly timeless- not matching the ways of their doctrines
websurferdude: Are you aware that they had their key beliefs in place BEFORE they had their NWT? Their beliefs -even if you don't agree with them - were based on the Bibles then available. Neither Jesus nor his Apostles, who were all Jews, believed in your "core tenets of Christianity" that according to most theologians, only appeared after apostolic times.
@@ewankerr3011 John 20:28 (KJV)
And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
John: What is the point of your comment? You quote a scripture out of context. Earlier in verse 17, Jesus had said that he was ascending to his God. Indeed, look at the big finish, in verse 31 : But these things are written......that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.."If ever there was a time to spell it out, this was it. But the Evangelist agrees with the other gospel writers that the point was that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of God.Scholars are divided over verse 28. Some see it as an exclamation of astonishment spoken to Jesus but actually directed to his God his Father. The verse certainly does not prove a Trinity as only two are mentioned, not three.
@@ewankerr3011 it's difficult to get the proper context out of the New World Translation. Because it's been changed in so many places, to fit JW doctrine. (Scholarly consensus, not my opinion)
For example, they change the phrase "worship" to "obiesence" when referring to Jesus. This is almost trivial compared to their more blatant changes to the text. I would love you to explain your doctrine from a well translated bible.
We must reach all that are lost, especially the Jehovah witnesses.
Lost! How can JWs be lost? They can be found all over the globe.

@LSmoove 79 well scripture disproves Jehovahs Witmess theology so... I'm telling you as a former jw
LSmoove 79 literally from john 1:1 we see Jesus is God. Poor Jw
Tudy Max JW’s believe Jesus was a good person but not someone special. There are plenty of stories of people visited by relatives at the time of dear to say goodby or let them know you are gone. Plenty of people visited by relatives for one reason or an other. There is more to the “after death” that we are not very knowledgeable. Little kid book Heaven is For Real. And people saying that this afterlife is the devil. But it brings so many to Jesus. Why would Evil do this and lead people to Jesus.
@@donsnider4607 Jezus is someone special for JW his our King hes he died for us.
@@donsnider4607 I don't understand what you are getting at. are a JW? do you think that people were wrong about jesus until after 1800 when JW was made and their bible translated? read the bible yourself and go to the original language if you want. this is a matter of the utmost importance. I was an muslim then an atheist. two years before that I finally got saved by Christ. Jesus is the only way. He is the alpha and the omega, Our God and savior. and he is definitely not just a good person. He is either God or is not, nothing in between
Step 1. Repent
Step 2. Put your faith in Jesus and the work that Jesus has done.
Great encounter with a future brother!! Just an ironic observation - at the back to the left of this guy is a shop called 'flawless'...
I was talking to a top JW speaker from Tennessee.
I showed him Revelation 14:10 and he immediately denied what it said (in his own NWT!)
When I pointed out that I was saying 'IT IS WRITTEN,' whilst he was saying, 'HATH GOD SAID,' and furthermore pointed out who said, 'IT IS WRITTEN,' (JESUS) and who said, 'HATH GOD SAID,' (satan). he declared, "Your too good for me!" And promptly packed up shop and legged it.
This was a JW top man and he lasted about 5 minutes.
For what it's worth, the Revelation prophecy is highly symbolic, presented in signs as
the very first vs. of Rev mentions.
If you took this vs. literally, what "wild beast and it's image" are they guilty of worshipping? The wild beast symbolizes something.
What is the wine of God's anger that they will be drinking? It symbolizes something it's not literal.
As for the existence of a literal hell :
Revelation 14:9-11 speaks of some who are “tormented with fire and sulphur . . . And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever.”* Does this prove eternal conscious torment in hellfire? Actually, all this passage says is that the wicked are tormented, not that they are tormented forever. The text states that it is the smoke-the evidence that the fire has done its work of destruction-that continues forever, not the fiery torment.
Think of it , a person leads a sinful life of 70 or 80 years on earth, then dies, would God torture him for eternity for that , it is very illogical.
Please read Psalm 146:3,4 and Eccl. 9:5,10. Is that not more logical, we just cease to exist.
@@briah9120
10 he will also drink of the wine of the anger of God that is poured out undiluted into the cup of His wrath, and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the sight of the holy angels and in the sight of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever, and day and night they have no rest, those who worship the wild beast and its image and whoever receives the mark of its name.
Looks like you forgot to read verse 11 along with the Gospels and how they refer to fire and eternal torment etc starting with Mt 13
40 Therefore, just as the weeds are collected and burned with fire, so it will be in the conclusion of the system of things. 41 The Son of man will send his angels, and they will collect out from his Kingdom all things that cause stumbling and people who practice lawlessness, 42 and they will pitch them into the fiery furnace. There is where their weeping and the gnashing of their teeth will be.
Yep. JW's believe their Study in Scriptures and a couple of verses as opposed to the interpretation of the very words that came from the mouth of Jesus Christ himself.
What is the relationship between watchtower(jehovah witness) and johannes greber??
1.who is johannes greber?
2.he :
- wrote a book "communication with the spirit world of god"
- translated "the new testament"
3.what did watchtower say about him??

5.the following appears (we only present the vital quotes )
6. Begin the quotes:
Page 110(paragraph 10)
10 Says Johannes Greber in the introduction of his translation of The New Testament, copyrighted in 1937: “I myself was
a Catholic priest, and until I was forty-
eight years old had never as much as believed in the possibility of communicating
with the world of God’s spirits. The day
came , however, when I involuntarily took
my first step toward such communication,
and experienced things that shook me to
the depths of my soul.. . . My experiences
are related in a book that has appeared in
both German and English and bears the title, Communication with the Spirit-
World: Its Laws and Its Purpose.” (Page
15)
.....in the Foreword of his afore-
mentioned book ex-priest Greber says:
“The most significant spiritualistic book
is the Bible.” Under this impression Greber
endeavors to make his New Testament
translation read very spiritualistic.
Page 111(paragraph 11)
11 Spiritualism claims that there are
good spirits and bad spirits and that it does
not want to have anything to do with the
bad spirits but tries to communicate only
with the good spirits....etc
Page 111(paragraph 11,the final sentence)
Very plainly the spirits in
which ex-priest Greber believes helped him
in his translation.
Page 111(paragraph 12)
“TRY THE SPIRITS”
12 However, when the apostle John says,
“Try the spirits,” or, “Test the spirits,” he
does not mean for us to dabble in spiritualism and get in touch with the spirits by
means of spirit mediums, ouija boards
or planchettes or other spiritistic para
phernalia and try out which is a good spirit
and which is a bad one....
Page 112(paragraph 16)
16 The evidence is clear that the spirits
with whom this leading spiritualist communicates are against the Bible and its Author Jehovah God and his Son Jesus
Christ. Why so? Because the Bible and
Jehovah and Jesus Christ are against those
spirits
Page 114(paragraph 23)
INSANITY THROUGH OBSESSION
23 The purpose of the demons through
spiritualism is not merely to destroy your
faith in God’s Word the Bible but, more
than that, to gain possession of your mind
and body, to control you completely, thus
leading you to insanity.
(end of quote)
7.the above are the confessions of watchtower
8.in short ,what watchtower says about johannes greber are:
- a spiritist
- greber endeavors to make his "new testament " translation read very spiritualistic
- the translation done by the helps of the "spirits"
-the spirits with whom johannes g communicates are against the bible,its author Jehovah God and Jesus Christ
- the purpose of demons via spiritualism :
*destroy your faith in the Bible
*gain possession of your mind,body
*control you completely
*result: insanity
9.yet watch tower gains their support in their " new world translation "
of john 1:1 from new testament (johannes greber)
10.new testament (johannes g, 1937)
In the beginning was the Word,and the Word was God; and the Word was a god(john 1:1)
11. New world translation(watchtower,1950)
In the beginning the Word was,the Word was with God,and the Word was a god
12.no wonder, watchtower likes johannes greber's translation
13.in addition to Johannes greber's, wachtower loves translation of emphatic diaglott
(benjamin wilson,1864)
14.john 1:1,
below " kai Theos " of the interlinear of emphatic diaglott, benjamin translate :
and a god
15.however the same words " kai Theos" in 2 corinthians 1:3
below the " kai Theos" he translate: and God
16.who is benjamin w?
- a liar?
- christadelphian( does not believe Jesus is God)
17.that is the reason, he translates "a god" when refer to Jesus in John 1:1
18.for sure ,Jesus is not merely the name of God
(mark 9:38-39,John 10:25,5:43,1john 5:20,rev 19:13), but also is the name of a man /human:
- visible(0-33 ad)
- mediator
- prayed
-died
-resurrected
19.One God,one mediator
(1timothy 2:5)
20.God (invisible) dwells in the Son(visible)
(John 14:10)
No way that guy is a JW. I'm no JW, but this is pretty lame.

Mk 16:15,16
Man is not given a soul but becomes a living soul when the breath (life) of God combines with the material body! There is not a single verse in the Bible that talks about an immortal soul. Jesus when He comes again brings His reward with Him as he raises the just from the graves and together with the living just are taken to heaven. If we (my soul???)went to heaven (or hell) when I die, sure I would be judged at my death and there would be no need for a judgement day or a resurrection when Jesus comes!
Without a doubt the human soul is immortal. This is clearly seen in many Scriptures in both the Old and New Testaments: Psalm 22:26; 23:6; 49:7-9; Ecclesiastes 12:7; Daniel 12:2-3; Matthew 25:46; and 1 Corinthians 15:12-19. Daniel 12:2 says, “Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt.” Similarly, Jesus Himself said that the wicked “will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life” (Matthew 25:46). With the same Greek word used to refer to both “punishment” and “life,” it is clear that both the wicked and the righteous have an eternal/immortal soul.
The unmistakable teaching of the Bible is that all people, whether they are saved or lost, will exist eternally, in either heaven or hell. True life or spiritual life does not cease when our fleshly bodies pass away in death. Our souls will live forever, either in the presence of God in heaven if we are saved, or in punishment in hell if we reject God’s gift of salvation. In fact, the promise of the Bible is that not only will our souls live forever, but also that our bodies will be resurrected. This hope of a bodily resurrection is at the very heart of the Christian faith (1 Corinthians 15:12-19).
While all souls are immortal, it is important to remember that we are not eternal in the same way that God is. God is the only truly eternal being in that He alone is without a beginning or end. God has always existed and will always continue to exist. All other sentient creatures, whether they are human or angelic, are finite in that they had a beginning. While our souls will live forever once we come into being, the Bible does not support the concept that our souls have always existed. Our souls are immortal, as that is how God created them, but they did have a beginning; there was a time they did not exist.

(luke 1:32) Calls Jesus the Son of the Most High. Jesus is Jehovah's Son
(John 17:3) Eternal(Everlasting ) Life. Have to know them both.Amen
@@tiffanywright6653 There is one thing you have missed which totally mis characterizes the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus Himself said if you have seen Him you have seen the Father.
Apart from Jesus Christ you have no part in the Father.
***
MATTHEW 28
18And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.
***
Not only did the Father give all power to Jesus Christ, He Himself says observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. This seems curious as you would have to conced that if the Father has given Him ALL as in ALL power in heaven and earth.....then please explain who it is that could hold such power.
Another insight into who Jesus is:
***
LUKE 9
34While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud. 35And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
***
You see Lenell, the Father Himself has told you and me to HEAR HIM (Jesus Christ). Not one knows the Father but by Jesus Christ!
So for anyone to bypass the Son Jesus Christ (God Himself via His Son) you are in rebellion seeking the Father ...ON YOUR OWN TERMS which will leave you without the precious blood of Jesus Christ to cover your sins.
In other words you are doomed because of the rejection of the only way by which you may be saved....Namely God Himself through Jesus Christ (yes, His son).
You go to the Father in vain if you think you can bypass His Son Jesus Christ and forego what He told His own disciples.
Here is the conclusion of the matter:
***
JOHN 14:9
Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?

Not only admit your wrong doing by saying 'sorry,' but also by turning from all sins no longer practicing them willingly. You have to be sincere. Just saying sorry isn't enough! And repentance in the greek means a change in mind.
But the problem with adding the works to repentance is that we would never be saved until we had completely mastered good works and no longer stumbled and did no more bad works. When would anyone ever overcome their own sin enough for salvation to even begin? But the Bible says that we are saved by grace through faith, not of works, so as pious as it sounds to say that we must not sin anymore, that cannot be the qualifications for salvation from sin. True faith will result in works, but we ate saved without any works at all. So, since the word means change of mind, and it is toward a belief that is with the heart, I assume that repentance means a change of heart, and one that brings the person into agreement with the convicting Holy Spirit about sin. I mainly go by examples in the Bible to understand repentance: Zacchaeus and Mary Magdalen; the thief on the cross; the publican who wouldn't even lift his eyes toward heaven, but beat his breast and said "God, have mercy upon me...". Those are all pictures of repentance. And when we turn to Jesus in sincere faith, in response to the Holy Spirit, God does not just leave us alone. He works with us to bring us into conformity with the image of Jesus. So the fact that we cannot hold on to everything that we felt when we were so under conviction, is okay, because God still knows them and can bring them back into our remembrance. He is still the same; He is a Savior, not just a judge, and our spiritual growth is His work, and He has promised not to quit until He has accomplished what He set out to do. Changed behavior is a result of repentance, but mere repentance doesn't even know how it's going to change, only that it is wrong and must change.
@@Mcfirefly2 I agree
I can tell 2 minutes in he’s not a JW.
Agreed
Why do you say so?
JAME'S BROWN GIVES YOU SOUL
Not anymore. He's dead.
Amen but we need to be baptized and receive the Spirit of Christ. Acts 2:38
It is important to understand what the meaning of baptism is. Baptism means to be immersed. In Matthew 3:11 John says:
"I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire” another was of saying this is that Jesus will immerse you with the Holy Spirit. I can go on and on about this but I encourage you to dig in on what the Bible is truly teaching about baptism. At one point Paul puts his hands on people and they are given the Holy Spirit. You can always go back to the thief on the cross and see he was not immersed in water but was saved.
Ryan Hollingsworth yes, and he never said baptism for the remission of sins would stop.
Acts 2:38 ESV - And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
1 Peter 3:21 KJV - The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
Ephesians 5:26 says we are washed by the water OF THE WORD, not of water.
Krystal Clutter Ephesians 5:26 KJV - That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing *OF WATER* BY THE WORD.
You reciev the Spirit of God when your repent and put your trust in the gospel Ephesians 1:13. Not at baptism keep in mind acts 2 Is to the nation of Israel read a few verses before 38 v 22¶Ye men of Israel, hear these words
Then we read
36¶Therefore let all the house of Israel know assured
This comment is from the love of my heart for the honest seekers of the ‘ Truth ‘ !
There is no need to ramble on , drowning in ignorance of Gods word - The Bible .
Firstly , Jesus warned us of future False prophets or evangelisers !
I must say , having great respect for Ray Comfort & the ‘ Living Waters Ministry ‘ particularily their sensitive , but urgent approach in teaching the Gospel , I now need to draw a line under ! .
Unfortunately their doctrine is sadly flawed by many false teachings . ‘ woe ‘ to anyone who falsely takes it upon himself to obscure the true gospel message of ‘ Gods ‘ word .
This particular interview for some reason has been intentionally named & highlighted as an interview with a practising Jehovah’s Witness .
I am saddened & disappionted that any ministry upholding Gods values , seeks to evangelise on the one hand , but falsely if not intentionally to discredit a particular religious denomination such as the Witnesses .
There are so many false teachings I would like to point out . But this would take up considerable space .
Remarkably Two significant & profound things occurred when John the Baptist , baptised Jesus .
( 1 ) Luke 3 vs 22 - God’s Holy Spirit descended from heaven in the form of Dove & spoke ! ( an affirmation ) . ‘ This is my Son , the beloved one , whom I have approved .
( 2 ) Luke 4 - Far more significantly , whilst God’s son ( Jesus - now 30 years old ) was in prayer to his Father , being led by holy spirit in the wilderness ( for 40 days ) . The Devil ( Satan - the fallen angel ) began to try and tempt Jesus , ultimately offering authority over all the kingdoms of the Earth & its inhabitants .
The Lesson here cannot be disputed ! ! !
Jesus is God’s literal son
How can a fallen angel have authority over the Creator ‘ God ‘ ( Jehovah ) , so as to be able to offer God himself , any of the kingdoms he has created ?
What obvious nonesence . How can the Devil tempt God
So Jesus must be Gods literal son ! ( miraculously transformed from his original spirit existence at the beginning of creation ) by his father to a human existence thru Mary ‘s conception .
This is endorsed by the Ressurection hope of everyone who puts their faith in the recognition of Jesus and the ransom sacrifice for all mankind’s sins .
God ( Jehovah ) cannot die . He is eternal & everlasting .
How could he sacrifice himself as the Creator of All things . It would not be a sacrifice !
Unless Jesus was his literal Son . Amen
Sorry to disappoint all those Trinitarians .
But simply ask yourself , if Jesus is God then exactly who was he praying to on many occasions throughout
his ministry , particularily In the wilderness and in the garden of Gersenemy .
On all these occasions he is earnestly & passionately talking to his Father as a son .
Please do not insult our creator ‘ Jehovah ‘ & our loving father .
After all , we are meant to reason the Scriptures .
Why would any of Gods words be ambiguous .
May God bless all those seeking his righteousness & future Earthly kingdom .
Terence Wragg how many true Gods are there?
@@Kaynmiya there is only ONE TRUE GOD and his name is Jehovah......
I can’t believe how deceived the jehovah witnesses are!
plasms 83:18) Jehovah is the Most High. (King james Bible)
(luke 1:32) Calls Jesus the Son of the Most High. Jesus is Jehovah's Son
(John 17:3) Eternal(Everlasting ) Life. Have to know them both.Amen
I can't believe how Christians are deceived to believe that we can live in known sin and call ourselves Christians. Jesus never condemned anyone , but he did say to go and sin no more! And I don't believe that was a suggestion! I don't know you, but if you or anyone you know are living a sinful lifestyle , an unrepentant lifestyle , it's time to take being a Christian seriously and avoid the temptation of this world! God bless!
Tiff John 1:1
A JW does not have beard, again this is staged
LSmoove 79 In the beginning was The WORD, and the WORD was with GOD , and the WORD was GOD..... in other words GOD was in the beginning all by Himself and with Himself ...... If you read further that WORD(which was indeed said to be GOD HIMSELF) became flesh and dwelt among us.
A great conversation which you kept going in love. Repentance is really a 180 degree turn from sin,the world to Jesus mercy. . It not of of ourselves but the finished works of Jesus. When we realize that we need a savior we all have to do business with Jesus by calling o Jesus directly and Jesus snatches us from the kingdom of darkness to Jesus kingdom of love and light. Baptism always followed immediately after believing and is always full immersion and being filled with the Holy Spirit immediately. We spend the rest of our lives renewing our minds by God’s word as we become living stones of the spiritual temple Call on Jesus right now and there’s no use calling on Michael as he is only an Angel and won’t be able to hear you. Jesus is omnipresent as where two or more come together in Jesus name Jesus is there present Mt 18:20

He’s not In the True or a Jehovah’s Witness 🙄
Neither of which are The Way, The Truth and the Life! Johovah's Witnesses believe that THEY are going to be the 144,000 stamped by God. Oh..they WILL BE here, that's a fact..but, it CLEARLY says in scripture that these will be the 12 tribes of Israel..12,000 x 12,000 = 144,000 There aren't, have never and never will be 144,000 "marked Jehovah's Witnesses! It isn't scripture and is NOT correct. It may be THEIR doctrine but remember "doctrines of devil's". This is a false religion and a cult. If you are a "witness", come out of this NOW!! There is only one way to the Father! Read your KJV and not that book 'they give you'! I mean you no harm. Like him, I am trying to show you where the truth is! Please! People.. abandon this cult. And, for God's sake, don't convert to Mormonism or Scientology. I understand that all of these want to serve God.. including Catholicism, which is the worst one of all! There is no 'Vicar of Christ', no purgatory and no other man has the power to 'forgive sins'. It's insulting, also for a priest or the poop to think he can COMMAND the Lord to magically come down from Heaven and turn into a piece of bread! This is ALL blasphemy! When we have this same ceremony in a Protestant church, it is symbolic. "Do this in remembrance of Me" My pastor does not claim that this IS the body of Christ or His blood. Catholics do make this claim and, as for being a "Vicar", that means Christ on Earth! He is, but He lives in the 'temple' - you! "Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world" Whenever I see the poop on t.v., I think 'False Prophet'. Why? Many reasons. The first and most important is the fact that, this poop is trying to unite all world religions under the guise of 'Peace and Safety's - two VERY dangerous words. "For when they shall say 'peace and safety, sudden destruction shall come upon them. Then, there's the schooling Jesuits are REQUIRED to complete. "Professing themselves to become wiser, they became fools." I could go on and on as to why ALL of these are dangerous. I also find it strangely suspicious that the Catholic Church is the only one that Exorcisms seem to have an effect on a demon. There'ore going on here than you realize. If people are convinced that the Catholic Church is the only place to be able to exorcise demons, that's because it causes MANY others to convert to that religion. It's not just one soul involved here. There's an agenda. They hate people like me that expose this hidden agenda. If you already see this, then, you are already ahead of the game! "It is appointed unto men once to die, then the judgement." If you do not have Christ as your attorney, then that's like going to court with out a lawyer..and, there is NO better lawyer than the Lord Jesus! I had a dream (?) a few years back. I was in a desert location, possibly Israel itself, and I was leaning against the door of an old rundown shack. I heard, in the distance, a woman's voice yelling: He's coming! Jesus is coming!" Much to my surprise,He was first in line! He wasn't what I expected though. He had shorter hair than the traditional paintings..about shoulder length. He walked up to me but didn't say a word. He simply smiled and walked past me as He entered my humble little home. There was an overwhelming feeling of mercy, compassion..and a love I'd had NEVER felt before! It was so overpowering that I woke up in tears! I spent the rest of the night trying to get back to Him. I KNEW I was in God's presence. When you are, you KNOW it! It was as real as the day is long! Only once has this ever happened. I believe it was Him telling me not to worry. He was not going to forsake me. He can not lie. He's God! This is NOT some fabricated story either! It really happened. Now, everyday, I pray that this will be the day that I get to be with Him again. If this vision would have continued, I would have been able to sup with Him..and,He would have with me. I keep thinking about what He said: "If I knock and any man opens the door, I will come in.." That person was ME and I still cry whenever I think about that night. But, now I know He is always with me and He knows me! After all, He had my name in His blood, wriiten on Him on the cross! Christianity has been called 'the thinking man's religion'. So complex, yet simple enough for a child to understand. Why, then, are people so closed minded?.Geez, Man. You can't give your creator a few minutes to speak His case?! If you let Him, He will! Be still and know that I am your God!" Thousands of people have had such experiences yet are labeled as 'fanatics'. Well, if I'm a 'fanatic', I'm proud to be one. I know who came to me that night! This was NO dream. No dream has ever caused me such conviction. I knew He was telling me to 'straighen up, idiot! I'll be here soon and I have plans for you to spread my good news. I am NOT condemning anyone here. I'm warning you because He wants me to! Now's the time to choose. Time is VERY short. I know that because this was 2 years ago already. Look where we are now! Oh..and,one other thing: this guy is speaking 'reincarnation' and 'works'. We can NOT work our way into God's kingdom! Repentance is a way of thanking Him for what He has done. It is NOT a licence to sin! Remember this important fact!

John 11:23-26 👑
"Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” Martha said to Him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.” Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
She said to Him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.”
I would think that Jesus' words are clear. Salvation is a future hope.
No one can claim to be saved and then die. That would be a contradiction in terms. Just a thought to help.

How do you count the number of Jehovah’s Witnesses?
We count as Jehovah’s Witnesses only those who are actively preaching the good news of God’s Kingdom each month. (Matthew 24:14) This includes those who have been baptized as Witnesses as well as those who, though not yet baptized, qualify to share in the preaching work.
Does a person have to donate money to be counted as a Witness?
No. Donations have no relevance as to whether a person is counted as a Witness or has any particular assignment or privilege in our organization. (Acts 8:18-20) In fact, most donations are made anonymously. Each Witness donates his time, energy, and resources to our worldwide work according to his own desire and circumstances.-2 Corinthians 9:7.
How do you know how many are actively witnessing?
Each month, Witnesses report their preaching activity to their local congregation. This report is made voluntarily.
Congregation reports are tabulated, and the totals are sent to the local branch office. The branch sends the totals for each country or territory to our world headquarters.
At the end of every service year, the peak number of Witnesses for each land during that year is determined. These figures are added together to determine the number of Witnesses worldwide. Detailed reports for each country are published in the “Around the World” section on our website. These reports encourage us, just as similar reports encouraged the early Christians.-Acts 2:41; 4:4; 15:3.
Do you count those associated with your organization who do not preach?
Although we do not include such ones in the number of Witnesses, we welcome them in our congregations. Most of them attend the annual Memorial of Christ’s death, so the number of such ones can be roughly determined by the difference between the attendance at this meeting and the number of Witnesses. In 2019, the attendance at the Memorial was 20,919,041.
Many who do not attend our meetings benefit from our free home Bible study program. During 2019, we conducted an average of 9,618,182 Bible studies each month, some of which were held with several individuals at the same time.
Why are government census figures for the number of Witnesses higher than your figures?
Government census bureaus often determine their figures by asking people which religious group they identify themselves with. For example, the U.S. Census Bureau states that their surveys “sought to determine whether the respondents regarded themselves as adherents of a religious community,” adding that the resulting figures are “subjective rather than objective.” By contrast, we count as Jehovah’s Witnesses only those who preach to others and who report that activity, not those who merely identify themselves as Witnesses. Also the record of an average of 700 baptized per day worldwide shows very well that the global witnessing activity of the good news of the Kingdom of God in harmony with the command of Jesus Christ at Matthew 24:14 and Matthew 28: 19,20 is a successful fulfillment of prophecies according to the apostolic pattern of Acts 1: 8 and Acts 5:42 making practical what Acts 15: 14-17 reports about today. The reality belongs to Jesus Christ because he is being blessed by Jehovah. Thanks, Jehovah!
This guy hasn't got a clue he is talking about AT ALL he is neither Christian nor Jehova
While I would object to your use of Christendom's self-serving distinction of "Christain" nor "Jehovah's Witness."
When in fairness it should be appropriately labeled as ...
"He is neither a Trinitarian nor a Jehovah's Witness."
And let the question of which one is truly "Christain" to be determined elsewhere.
But anyway, I wholeheartedly agree that this individual is not a JW. Therefore discrediting everything Comfort's LWM says in refutation of his views a fallacious "strawman" argument.
@@H.T.2forever JWs deny that Jesus is an eternal uncreated divine person of God and that this divine person died for our sins. This is the foundation of the Gospels it's what the Apostles and early church fathers died for preaching.
If one denies these key points, then they are no more christian than muslims.
If one denies Christ's own words or if they are forced to call them corrupt, then they agree with Jesus' enemies and not the Apostles, His enemies called Him a blasphemer and had Him killed for His claims of Divinity and equality with His Father who is God, therefore if one finds themselves in agreement with Jesus' enemies, then they can hardly be considered Christian, which by definition is a follower and believer in Christ and everything He said and did.

I totally agree with this!
And is exactly what Trinitarian apologists do!
As they'll accept the various charges and accusations of Jesus's enemies as accurate and truthful that they feel will help support the "Deity of Christ" as taught by Trinitarianism.
But then conveniently reject all their other claims as false of Christ being a "sabbath-breaker", a "sinner", "blasphemer", "having a demon", ect.
But this is totally inconsistent cherry-picking and a double-standard. For if you're going to accept the views of Christ's adversaries as an accurate indicator of what Jesus claims about himself in some places, then by what right do you not accept them in all?
And if they can be wrong in their other accusations against Christ. Then they can be just as wrong at the places Trinitarians want to accept of them accurate.
Sorry, but you really can't have it both ways ...
@@H.T.2foreverwell then, you need to go and read the scriptures again and maybe this time take every verse in the context it's given, because it can be found throughout the Scriptures it's impossible to misunderstand if read in context.
The Son Jesus is indeed a divine person of God, and this doesn't mean that there is another god bedside the Father or two separate Beings.
It means the nature and Being of God, exists in the divine persons of both the Father and the Son, who are but ONE God.. they reveal the same divine nature, not two distinct or conflicting natures.
To suggest that this wasn't mentioned in the scriptures or that it wasn't mentioned before the 4th Century is intellectually dishonest .. Besides the scriptures which I will get to later, there are an abundance of letters written by the early church fathers and early christian writers, which confirm Christ's Deity and the Trinity.
These letters date well before any council ever formed, these early christian writer's letters were written in response to these heretical views you hold, rebuking and correcting them, many of these men were students of the Apostles themselves!!
One such writer was Ignatius ( 35AD -107AD) nearly 260 years before the councils ever came together!!
Others were Theophilus, Bishop of Antioch he lived around 165 years before the councils, He who wrote about the Trinity, which is simply a word used to explain the concept of how God exists and how His Being is revealed throughout the Bible..
So how dare you state that the church fathers died in vein!! They knew the Apostles personally!! they were taught by them and you claim that they were wrong? That you know better, how arrogant are you!!.. you don't know more about the Apostles and Jesus Himself, than those men and their letters confirm, that God is, Father Son and Holy Spirit and that Jesus is the divine Son.
Now to get to the scriptures themselves....they teach that Jesus is the eternal uncreated divine Son, verses like (John 1:1) and ( Mark 2:28) confirm this. And in ( Romans 9: 5), (Colossians 1:16-17 and 2:9) and (Philippians 2 : 5-8 ) it speaks about Jesus existing before heaven and before earth, before the visible and invisible.
So, how can a created being exist before heaven and earth? before space and time?? Only the Being of God can exist in such a way and not a created being!!
Since Jesus existed before time and space, it makes Him God.., in the incarnation Jesus took an additional nature, that of a human being alongside His divine nature, so the eternal divine person of the Son, existed with two natures but there was never a time, when the Son's divine nature didn't exist... only a time when His human nature didn't exist before the incarnation, it's His divine nature that is identical to His Father's nature.
When Trinitarians use the term Being, it's in reference to God's nature and essence, the manner in which God exists, as such the Father, Son and Holy Spirit share the same Being having the same nature and essence. When Jesus said, I only do what my Father does in (John 5:19) think about what He is saying here... He only does what God does!!
Now what mere human can claim to do, only do what God does?? We humans do many things that God doesn't do, sin being the most obvious, not even the Angels can claim such a thing!!....it's because of these claims of divinity, He was charged with blasphemy and killed.
@@mykingofkings1439 wrote:
Same problem though ...
Where does scripture describe God as multiple "Persons of" or "within" the "one God" that way?
And where do the early church Fathers really teach it prior to Nicea?
>
No, the opposite is true since there is no mention anywhere in scripture about "Persons of/within" the same God, separation of "Person" from "Being." Or anything about God's "essences", "natures", "substances", etc.
All of that is unscriptural Greek philosophy developed centuries after Christ and the apostles mainly from around the 4th century. And must be read back into the text of scripture by Trinitarians ever since using extreme eisegesis.
Good, start with them then ...
Show me examples where any of them taught what I just pointed out?
>
Yes, and I'll repeat it again ....
If the Church Fathers suffered and died teaching Trinitarianism, then they did die for nothing because tthey were teaching false and really blasphemous doctrine about God irrespective who they may have personally known.
And any perceived personal arrogance from me has nothing to do with it.
But I find no evidence of Trinitarian theology in the writings of the ANF to begin with anyway. Until much later approaching the 4th century when unscriptural philosophy really begins to infuse their works.
And I welcome you to prove the earliest Fathers like Ignatius, whom Trinitarians seemingly love to quote all the time, did this as well.
>
And none of those passages you reference really teach anything consistent with Trinitarianism. Even if they are interpreted to say that Jesus is God, to be commensurate with Trinitarianism those passages would have to say that Christ is not God, but a "Person of God."
Since if Jesus were really "God," then it would make him the entire Trinity.
And like most such Trinity "prooftexts", when all grammatical, contextual, and text critical considerations are honestly bought to bear on those verses. They actually teach the opposite of what Trinitarians claim about them. That Jesus is not God, but the Father is with Christ his Son as a powerful though inferior divine being alongside him when in heaven.
>
Before the physical heavens and earth, yes created beings can exist as did all angels.
But before the spirit realm of heaven where God and the angels exist? No, what scripture says Christ existed before that?
>
But what scripture specifically says Jesus was "before time and space?"
Another unsubstantiated philosophical assertion.
>
But again, like most Trinitarians you are only making philosophical assumptions about that which you have yet to prove. Therefore your reasoning is fallacious and circular.
For where do the Bible writers ever say Jesus is "before time and space" instead of as the first one born into it? (Col. 1:15; Rev. 3:14). Or that he "took on an additional nature of flesh" instead of actually **becoming it** as Jn. 1:14 says?
>
I'm well aware of what Trinitarians are trying to claim about God's "Being." But where does scripture actually say it is the problem?
For instance, where does scripture describe God's "Being" as an "essence" or "nature?" And "shared in by three Persons?" Or alters the grammar of the second Greek "θεος" at Jn. 1:1 from a count noun into a qualitative mass noun, etc.?
It doesn't!
As the Trinity is based post-biblical Nicean-Chalcedon theology from the 4th century read back into scripture as I said.
>
Yes, Christ is in full unity and accordance with what his Father does in purpose, motive, and goal. Just as true Christians should be in such a unison in imitation of Jesus Christ.
>
And again, just more baseless assumptions by you and other Trinitarians that are not corroborated in scripture.
Since scripture does not teach thst Jesus was a "mere man", but a perfect sinless one while on earth (1 Pe 2:19-24). Nor does Jn. 5:19 apply to Christ only when he was a man on earth, but certainly in heaven as a glorious divine being as well.
And where does the Bible deny that angels are incapable of imitating the Father this way as his divine messengers and representatives?
Once more , you merely assume that which you have not actually proven. And then dogmatically assert it as though scripture actually teaches it when it really does no such of a thing.

I think. The way he thinks about death. Death is only he said. Correct me if am wrong, cause I ain't gonna rewind it 😁. But yea, the way he thinks & the way he was speaking about the questions he was being ask...
Christ only has as much deity as father has bestowed upon him. His deity is only relative to the father. Christ would have nothing, would not even exist if it was not for father. Rev 3:14; John 1:1,18 Christ's god ship was begotten - made by the father. Christ cannot therefore be almighty god, he cannot be the father or equal to the father in any way. He is the son.
tim spangler begotten means that he came into existence by the will of the father. Christ owes his existence to the father as John 1:18 and Rev 3:14 clearly shows. Revelation 1:1 tells us the vision was given to Christ from God which again shows the fathers superiority of Christ. Father is greater than Christ, whether Christ walked as a man on earth or is a spirit in heaven.
"Father is greater than Christ, "
Jesus said that those who believe in him will do GREATER works than him. Since Jesus died to save mankind, what greater work than that are his believers doing?
John 14:2 "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father."
The point I am trying to make here is that greater does not mean better. The Father is not better than Jesus because they are equally Almighty God in nature, like believers works are not better than Jesus dying to save mankind but can be greater ( as in converting more people than Jesus did). When Christians speak of Jesus as being Almighty God, they mean that he had the same nature as his Father and was equally with the Father in the beginning and YES his is the son, but is equally Almighty God. :) ( In my theological understanding).
You can be the Son of God and be God at the same time. Jesus said he was The Son of man and yet was man at the same time. You know John 1:1 " In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."John 1:14 The word became flesh... Forget the watctower NWT of John 1:1 calling the word 'a' god, it's been fudged by dishonest or amateur watchtower writers.
"Christ owes his existence to the father"
Not sure what you are getting at but how do understand this ?John 17:5 " And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was."
I like your channel by the way. Keep up the awareness for the poor JW's. They deserve better than they are getting from their organisation.
PS An interesting way to understand only begotten, is think of what do cats beget.... cats? What do Humans beget...…. humans, what does God beget..... Has to be of the same nature God but there is only one God according to God in the bible? Right? Jesus had two natures? God and Man?
It's all a bit incredible, I know, but I'm not a believer anyway so I don't get too wound up over the issue. :)
Jesus Is God, you are firm in your belief and I am firm in mine. I cannot accept that Yashua is greater than the God who made him as it is clear from scripture that Christ was begotten by the father John 1:18.
nickgcbound I agree cats beget cats, humans beget humans so father - Almighty God made or brought about the existence of Christ so they are of the same kind, Almighty God made another god. Hence, Christ owes his existence to the father and in no way could ever be equal to him, just as no other spirit being could ever have been equal to Christ as all other beings came into existence through the power of Christ. Col 1:13-17 Christ has glory from all other loyal spirits in heaven. Father loves and glorifies his son and wants other creation also to love and glorify him.
" Almighty God made or brought about the existence of Christ so they are of the same kind,"
Well Jesus already existed prior ( The Logos John 1:1) and created everything, that's the unique part and perhaps difficult to comprehend that he is God the creator, not the father, but the son ( assuming the bible is true and a real history of events, that is).
" all other beings came into existence through the power of Christ. Col 1:13"
The word 'OTHER' is not in the Greek text. The watchtower added that to their own NWT to support their home made theology of a first created Jesus and to reduce him to a mere created angel, robbing him of his Deity.
Colossians Chapter 1
15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
Please Note. also that Firstborn does not mean First created. Look up firstborn and it's meaning. You seem to have a lot of watchtower theology in your views/beliefs?I hope you don't think Jesus is the Archangel (Michael). Read Hebrews Chapter one, in case you do. It speaks of Jesus' divine Inheritance and throne ship and superiority to angels by his nature.Having said all that theological rambling,do keep up the good work, you obviously care about injustices and crimes against children and that shows you have great integrity.
Only God/Jesus can judge us 100% correctly. God/Jesus knows when evil has been done on purpose or because of other reasons/factors independent by that person. However, it is very important to continuously improve not only our answer/reaction to the evil from around us (not done by us), but also our own choices/deeds to never cause any damage or/and useless suffering to others and to ourselves, respectively to always strive to turn evil into good in any situation. As Jesus said: *_"Be perfect therefore, as your Heavenly Father is perfect"_* Matthew 5, 48

ARE THE DEAD REALLY DEAD?
Death just might be one of the most misunderstood subjects today. For many, death is shrouded in mystery and evokes dread, uncertainty, and hopelessness. Others believe that their deceased loved ones are not dead at all, but instead live with them or in other realms. Millions are confused about the relationship between the body, spirit, and soul. But does it really matter what you believe? Yes-absolutely! What you believe about the dead will have a profound impact on what happens to you in the near future.
1. How did humans get here in the first place?
“The Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being” (Genesis 2:7).
Answer: God made us from dust in the beginning.
2. What happens when a person dies?
“Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, and the spirit will return to God who gave it” (Ecclesiastes 12:7).
Answer: The body turns to dust again, and the spirit goes back to God, who gave it. The spirit of every person who dies-whether saved or unsaved-returns to God at death.
3. What is the “spirit” that returns to God at death?
“The body without the spirit is dead” (James 2:26).
“The spirit of God is in my nostrils” (Job 27:3 KJV).

Answer: The spirit that returns to God at death is the breath of life. Nowhere in all of God’s book does the “spirit” have any life, wisdom, or feeling after a person dies. It is the “breath of life” and nothing more.
4. What is a "soul"?
“The Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul” (Genesis 2:7 KJV).
Answer: A soul is a living being. A soul is always a combination of two things: body plus breath. A soul cannot exist unless body and breath are combined. God’s Word teaches that we are souls-not that we have souls.
5. Do souls die?
“The soul that sinneth, it shall die” (Ezekiel 18:20 KJV).
“Every living soul died in the sea” (Revelation 16:3 KJV).
Answer: According to God’s Word, souls do die! We are souls, and souls die. Man is mortal (Job 4:17).
Only God is immortal (1 Timothy 6:15, 16). The concept of an undying, immortal soul is not found in the Bible, which teaches that souls are subject to death.
Do good people go to heaven when they die?
“All who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth” (John 5:28, 29).
“David … is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. … For David did not ascend into the heavens” (Acts 2:29, 34).
“If I wait, the grave is mine house” (Job 17:13 KJV).
Answer: No. People do not go to heaven or to hell at death. They don’t go anywhere-but they wait in their graves for the resurrection.
7. How much does one know or comprehend after death?
“The living know that they will die; but the dead know nothing, and they have no more reward, for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, their hatred, and their envy have now perished; nevermore will they have a share in anything done under the sun. … There is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going” (Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6, 10).
“The dead do not praise the Lord” (Psalm 115:17).
Answer: God says that the dead know absolutely nothing!
8. But can’t the dead communicate with the living, and aren’t they aware of what the living are doing?
“Man lies down and does not rise. Till the heavens are no more, they will not awake nor be roused from their sleep. … His sons come to honor, and he does not know it; they are brought low, and he does not perceive it” (Job 14:12, 21).
“Nevermore will they have a share in anything done under the sun” (Ecclesiastes 9:6).
Answer: No. The dead cannot contact the living, nor do they know what the living are doing. They are dead. Their thoughts have perished (Psalm 146:4 KJV).
9. Jesus called the unconscious state of the dead “sleep” in John 11:11-14. How long will they sleep?
“Man lies down and does not rise. Till the heavens are no more” (Job 14:12).
“The day of the Lord will come … in which the heavens will pass away” (2 Peter 3:10).
Answer: The dead will sleep until the great day of the Lord at the end of the world. In death humans are totally unconscious with no activity or knowledge of any kind.
10. What happens to the righteous dead at the second coming of Christ?
“Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work” (Revelation 22:12).
“The Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout. … And the dead in Christ will rise. … And thus we shall always be with the Lord” (1 Thessalonians 4:16, 17).
“We shall all be changed-in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye … and the dead will be raised incorruptible. … For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality” (1 Corinthians 15:51-53).
Answer: They will be rewarded. They will be raised, given immortal bodies, and caught up to meet the Lord in the air. There would be no purpose in a resurrection if people were taken to heaven at death.
11. What was the devil’s first lie on Earth?
“The serpent said to the woman, ‘You will not surely die’ ” (Genesis 3:4).
“That serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan” (Revelation 12:9).
Answer: You will not die.
12. Why did the devil lie to Eve about death? Could this subject be more important than we think?
Answer: The devil’s lie that we will not die is one of the pillars of his teachings. For thousands of years, he has worked powerful, deceptive miracles to trick people into thinking they are receiving messages from the spirits of the dead. (Examples: Magicians of Egypt-Exodus 7:11; Woman of Endor-1 Samuel 28:3-25; Sorcerers-Daniel 2:2; A slave girl-Acts 16:16-18.)
A Solemn Warning
In the near future, Satan will again use sorcery-as he did in the prophet Daniel’s day-to deceive the world (Revelation 18:23). Sorcery is a supernatural agency that claims to receive its power and wisdom from the spirits of the dead.
Posing as Jesus' Disciples
Posing as godly loved ones who have died, saintly clergymen who are now dead, Bible prophets, or even the apostles of Christ (2 Corinthians 11:13), Satan and his angels will deceive billions. Those who believe the dead are alive, in any form, will likely be deceived.
14. Why will God's people not be deceived?
“They received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so” (Acts 17:11).
“If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them” (Isaiah 8:20).
Answer: God’s people will know from their study of His book that the dead are dead, not alive. They will know that a “spirit” claiming to be a deceased loved one is really a devil! God’s people will reject all teachers and miracle workers who claim to receive special “light” or work miracles by contacting the spirits of the dead. And God’s people will likewise reject as dangerous and false all teachings that claim the dead are alive in any form, anywhere.
15. Back in Moses’ day, what did God command should be done to people who taught that the dead were alive?
“A man or a woman who is a medium, or who has familiar spirits, shall surely be put to death; they shall stone them with stones” (Leviticus 20:27).
Answer: God insisted that mediums and others with “familiar spirits” (who claimed to be able to contact the dead) should be stoned to death. This shows how God regards the false teaching that the dead are alive.
16. Will the righteous people who are raised in the resurrection ever die again?
“Those who are counted worthy to attain that age, and the resurrection from the dead … nor can they die anymore” (Luke 20:35, 36).
“God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away” (Revelation 21:4).
Answer: No! Death, sorrow, crying, and tragedy will never enter into God’s new kingdom. “When this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: ‘Death is swallowed up in victory’ ” (1 Corinthians 15:54).
17. Belief in reincarnation is expanding rapidly today. Is this teaching biblical?
“The living know that they will die; but the dead know nothing. … Nevermore will they have a share in anything done under the sun” (Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6).
Answer: Almost half the people on earth believe in reincarnation, a teaching that the soul never dies but is instead continually reborn in a different kind of body with each succeeding generation. This teaching, however, is contrary to Scripture.
The Bible Says
After death a person: returns to dust (Psalms 104:29), knows nothing (Ecclesiastes 9:5), possesses no mental powers (Psalms 146:4), has nothing to do with anything on earth (Ecclesiastes 9:6), does not live (2 Kings 20:1), waits in the grave (Job 17:13), and continues not (Job 14:1, 2).
Satan's Invention
We learned in questions 11 and 12 that Satan invented the teaching that the dead are alive. Reincarnation, channeling, communication with spirits, spirit worship, and the "undying soul" are all inventions of Satan, with one aim to convince people that when you die you are not really dead. When people believe that the dead are alive, "spirits of devils, working miracles" (Revelation 16:14) and posing as spirits of the dead will be able to deceive and lead them astray virtually 100 percent of the time (Matthew 24:24).

Why everytime when the living water Asking a queetion about the 10 Comandments they never mentioned the fourth commandment??
Because 9 of the 10 commandments, Jesus (whom all authority is given) took from physical to spiritual (the heart), and the 4th was not. Jesus fulfilled mosaic covenant, bringing in His own. Under His covenant christians obey the Lord and Savior by coming together and remembering His death, burial, & resurrection on the day it was established under direction of the testator on shavuot. 7×7 shabbats +1 is on a sunday.
You who seek to be justified by the law, your fallen from grace. Gal 5:4
You dont want to be a child of a slave, but of the free woman, woman of promise.
“Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.”
You dont want to be cast out friends, come to the faith of Jesus.
@@theway4989 but Jesus never changed His 10 commandment
@@zelindojoaolay2640 He did.. Law was put into place "til the seed should come".
Its no longer a physical law..
"You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart."
Thats an example of Jesus changing basics principles of which to live by.
I challenge you, to find the other 9 and see what the new testament has to say about them.
FYI im not affiliated with "living waters", their brook is dry..
@@theway4989 i understood well about the God's law...
@@zelindojoaolay2640 at loss then, why you would question the 4th?
I miss understood you, I took it as you thought sabbath was still binding from old covenant.
I apologize for confusion
JESUS is a CREATION BY GOD! He is called the firstborn and beginning of the CREATION BY GOD (COL 1, REVelation ) ALSO JOHN 5:26 MENTIONS THAT THE FATHER GAVE JESUS LIFE. JESUS WAS MADE LORD (ACTS 2) therefore WAS MADE, HEBREWS mentioned "TODAY" he became a SON , so has a beginning. john 1:1 mentions THE WORD WAS IN THE BEGINNING, so Jesus was LIMITED "IN THE BEGINNING" Unlike GOD who is FROM FOREVER (Psalms 90:2). NO MAN HAS SEEN GOD and if they see GOD's face THEY WILL DIE. Jesus was seen by many and they didn't DIE so JESUS IS NOT THE ALMIGHTY GOD. JOHN 6:57 - JESUS SAID “ I LIVE BEC OF THE FATHER” SO JESUS’ LIFE was dependent on the Father and his SOURCE OF LIFE IS THE FATHER as John 5:26 states as well
Truth
