Jehovah's Witnesses cancel Gospel and Grace!

- Jehovah's Witnesses, despite self-identifying as a Christian group, have bizarrely removed the words 'gospel' and 'grace' from their 'The New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures'. These words don't even appear in the NWT glossary of Bible terms. They have also removed these beautiful English language words full of rich spiritual meaning from their teachings and vocabulary entirely, replacing them with more ambiguous terms such as 'good news' and 'undeserved kindness'. Why? What are the effects? And on whose authority?
Cited verses: Acts 20:24; Mark 1:1; 1.Corinthians 9:12,18; 2.Corinthians 9:8; Philippians 2:12,13; Acts 4:10-12. Apart from one use of NWT all quotes are from NKJV or NIV.
Grace definitely wasn't a part of growing up in the org!
A very beautiful message. I'm currently learning about this!
I am three years since reading both of Ray Franz’s books and becoming fully awake to the fact that my whole life spanning parts of 7 decades, has all been based on lies. Thankfully, I did not lose my longing for relationship with God so I have kept reading the Bible and for 2 years have been included in a small online group of Christians where I have gotten some wonderful education about the history of Christianity, early church fathers and how Christianity did not die out after the first century. This was exciting to me because it opens up nearly 2,000 years of teaching that builds faith in God!😊 I have grown these last few years and attend online sermons on Sundays. I have a very dear elderly PIMI family member who depends on me. As long as that circumstance exists, I wish to avoid being DF. When that changes I will be seeking to join a local church. For now, I depend on Christians who have a ministry on TH-cam. I am grateful, Samantha, for you sharing your personal experiences of the Holy Spirit operating in you. I am currently reading a newer book called “ Knowing The Spirit” by Costi Hinn. It is helping me to learn more about God, the Holy Spirit. God Bless You, Samantha❤🤗
No Jesus. No Gospel. No Grace. No Bible.
no hope
@@kennethgiles-nu9dk I will hope for them❤️
Yes! "the link to Jesus" you said. Watchtower marginalizes the only way to the Father.
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: NO MAN COMETH UNTO THE FATHER, BUT BY ME. - John 14:6 KJV
God Bless 😊
Yes, I’m disgusted that they replaced grace with undeserved kindness. Undeserved kindliness’ emphasis is you don’t deserve it, grace emphasis is, this is Gods gift to you.
Satan is subtle like the serpent
Undeserved kindness is exactly what God gives. Unless you feel it is a right that should be given to you
@@jahtruthdefenderyou missed the point of my video entirely but thank you for watching. JWs teach salvation by works that benefit the brothers building a property empire with free labour. Their teachings are not backed up by the Bible. They had to change the NWT to make it fit which is a sin against the Holy Spirit. Please keep watching my videos as you will eventually see this clearly yourself.
@@faithhopefuture I hope you will enjoy this. The JW's don't understand this truth, including some Christians.
2 different gospels
[1] In (the gospel of Christ), Apostle Paul says that (Today) is the day of salvation =2CORINTHIANS 6:2. You are saved by believing in Jesus, death, burial and resurrection =1CORINTHIANS 15:1-4. This gospel (has) went out to all the world and we are bearing the fruit of it = Colossians 1:5,6,23/Rom 1:8/Rom 10:18
These three thousand believers =Acts 2:41
And these five thousand believers =Acts 4:4
A lot of these thousands of believers were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word = Acts 8:4
*In (this gospel of Christ), God the Father in Christ (has) forgiven you = Ephesians 4:32
[2] In (the gospel of the kingdom of heaven approaches) = Matthew 4:17. Israel must endure unto the end to be saved = Matthew 10:22/Matthew 24:13. This gospel (will) be preached in all the world and then the end will come = Matthew 24:14. This gospel (will) continue in the future.
*In (this gospel of the kingdom of heaven approaches), the Father (will not) forgive your trespasses =Matthew 6:15
We need to rightly divide the word of truth to see this = 2Timothy 2:15 King James bible.
The gospel of Christ is in 1Cor 15:1-4. (This gospel was a mystery) =Ephesians 6:19/Romans 16:25,26
Before Jesus death, Jesus and the 12 apostles were (not) preaching the gospel of Christ in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. They were preaching the gospel of the kingdom of heaven approaches exclusively only to Israel.
Not even Satan and his angels know about the gospel of Christ before Jesus death = 1Cor 2:8
In Galatians 1:7,8 the gospel of the Kingdom of heaven approaches is not in view here, it's not our message to the lost souls today. The gospel of Christ, was a Mystery = Romans 16:25,26/Ephesians 6:19
Love this message, listened to it several times. I think I will bring up these things next time I see the JW's that set up near my work, every Wednesday. Grace and peace to you in the Gospel of Christ. Shalom
J'ai toujours été très choqué depuis longtemps de m'apercevoir que durant les réunions personne ne parlait de Jésus, mais par contre, mettez toujours en valeur l'esclave avisé.
j'ai également remarqué la même chose.
Youre awesome sister, keep up the goood work❤️❤️👌
I remember that the elders would stumble over each other when the overseer would come I can’t imagine how they would act if the gb was to come to the hall , I remember thinking is Jesus coming so sad that they literally worship men! Thank you great video ❤
❤ Very clear explanation! Thank you! 🙏
They seem tired, practically "dead" in their ministry work. I am an ex member and was trying to take interest , ive walked past recently at their carts encouraging them etc, but they seem so indifferent compared to former times! This is the message of the new kingdom, and they are so passive about it, makes 0 sense
God bless you my sister, your short video are so powerful, g]keep up good works
I don’t mean this in a weird way, but you are absolutely beautiful!!!
I love your Videos thanks.
Grüße aus Deutschland ❤
The word "gospel" was also used in the pagan world to refer to a good announcement, and the Priene inscription from 9 BCE shows that it was used as a political term before it was applied to Christianity.
Thank you. What is important is how people in general understand a word, and gospel is always linked to Jesus. This is why JWs avoid it. They hate talking about Jesus because they don’t know who he is.
@@faithhopefuture do you not remember "The greater teacher" book?
Undeserving kindness my ass. As Gods daughter I definitely deserve kindness. I just didn't earn it. But I definitely deserve it. Just because you didn't earn something doesn't mean you don't deserve it. A child deserves a parents love but doesn't have to earn it.
Thanks for your work🙏
Very helpful video.
Thank you so much.
I have family in the jehovah witness cult.
Unfortunately.
If there's anyone out there that might be able to help me to understand how to get through to them that they would wake up to the truth. I am very concerned for them.
For I know that time is short in the end is nearing more so every day.
Brilliant dissertation, Samantha! Thank you!
It’s all about putting trust into Jesus Christ and having a personal relationship with Him for our salvation, since He is God!
I can prove it with one more Bible passage, that the GB and WT cleverly manipulated to fit their false theology:
“Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of the Messiah, who is God over all, forever praised! (Rom. 9:5)
Thank you - that scripture is so clear in identifying Jesus as God. A topic I will revisit soon. 😊
No Jesus in glossary, lower case HolySpirit, capitalize satan. They have a different Christ and false gospel. No cross, no resurrection but reincarnation. Rejection of the body and blood of Christ. They make Jesus is an angel, they make satan a god. Etc. May “the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all”.
No heaven either. I don't understand soul sleep
Undeserved kindness is not meant as we are undeserving. It means we didn't have to do something FOR the kindness, for His love.
Wow, are you _ever_ wrong. Undeserved means UNDESERVED.
@@jamesritter5078 guess you dont know how to google "undeserved kindness" for the definition, you would find out you're the one that is wrong.
@@wideawake333 Apologies - I misread your post. Although since we are sinners, we really don't have to "do" anything
I was talking to a fellow believer the other day, told him I was witnessing to some JW'S ...I read a verse to him from the NWT, that I was discussing with them. I told him it sounded "clunky" their choice of words sometimes is just terrible.
Your videos have been so helpful to me, I've been wanting to join a Cult for a long time, was going to go with scientology but it's far too expensive. JW is definitely the cult for me, thanks again. 😊
😂
God's grace is undeserved "or it would no longer be grace" (Rom 11:6).
At Acts 8:35, "Good news about Jesus" is far more common than "gospel of Jesus".
UNDESERVED KINDNESS
The CEV has "undeserved kindness" at John 1:17, Rom 5:2, 11:6, Gal 2:9,21, 6:16, Heb 4:16, 13:9, 1 Pet 5:10, and "much better than we deserve" at Rom 3:24.
Good News Bible has "undeserved gift" at Rom 5:16.
Passion Bible has "undeserved kindness/favor" at Gal 1:3; 2 Cor 1:2.
Williams has "undeserved favor" at Rom 3:24.
Salvation is only in the name of the Lord Jesus and not Jehovah:
Act 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Jehovah's name is not in the New Testament, why?
Mark 14:62 NWT use "I am" but in John 8:58 they change it "I have been", why? It's the same Greek word - egō eimi.
Another examples:
John 10:11 New world translation:
I am the fine shepherd…
᾿Εγώ εἰμι ὁ ποιμὴν ὁ καλός…
John 14:6 NWT:
Jesus said to him: “I am the way…
λέγει αὐτῷ Ἰησοῦς ᾿Εγώ εἰμι ἡ ὁδὸς…
Revelation 1:8
I am the Alʹpha and the O·meʹga,
᾿Εγώ εἰμι τὸ Ἄλφα καὶ τὸ ῏Ω,
.Enlightenment comes in stages. Your next step is to leave religion altogether!
I have. Religion is a human construct.
@@faithhopefuture 100% agree. I am a truth seeker also!
Matthew 16:27
lovely explanation. My JW friend said "what is grace?"
💔
you are a beautiful Christlike person
🥰💕💕💕💕
KJV Psalms 83:18 even says "Jehovah"
But there is no letter "J" in Hebrew.
@@jamesritter5078 `Yahweh' came to be changed to `Jehovah' by Christian monks, a name commonly in use today.
@@wideawake333 That is true - But here is the problem: It is one thing to say that we suspect, we assume, we conclude, that Jehovah is the name of God. It is another to claim without a doubt (as JWs do) that Jehovah IS the right and true and proper name of God and _must_ be used. Also - and this is not small: if Jehovah is truly and definitely the name of God, then where and when and how did the WTS discover the correct vowels?
There is also this - and this is BIG: In the introductory material in the Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures published by the Watchtower Society, on page 23 of the 1969 edition, it says: "While inclining to view the pronunciation 'Yahweh' as the more correct way, we have retained the form 'Jehovah' because of people's familiarity with it since the 14th century."
Let's be clear about this: They're pretty much saying, "Even though 'Yahweh' is more correct, since everybody's familiar with 'Jehovah', we might as well keep on using it".
For a group that has made and still makes such a HUGE deal about Jehovah being the true and proper name of God and must be used, that really doesn't make sense.
Or, what about another Watchtower publication, "Aid to Bible Understanding", which says on page 885 of its 1971 edition that Yahweh is "the most likely pronunciation" of the Hebrew letters YHWH.
Same point as before.
If Jehovah's Witness leaders were saying almost 50 years years ago that "Yahweh" is the more correct pronunciation, then why has not the organization started calling itself "Yahweh's Witnesses"? Shouldn't they be using the correct pronunciation? Even the JW masters admit that "Jehovah" isn't correct.
Here's another quote from the JW "leaders": "Yahweh . .. is admittedly superior to Jehovah. 'The wrong spelling Jehovah occurs since about 1100' and then it offers its arguments in favor of Yahweh as the correct and original pronunciation." (Let Your Name Be Sanctified, Jehovah's Witnesses, p 16-20)
See the words "wrong spelling" there? That is an absolutely huge admission on the part of your masters!
So - What we have so far is this - The JW "leaders" have stated that....
- "Jehovah" is "the wrong spelling.”
- The single biggest reason given for the JWs still using it because it's familiar/popular.
- "Yahweh" is stated to be "the more likely", "the more correct" and "admittedly superior to "Jehovah".
Here's another quote from the JW "leaders": "The first recorded use of this form [Jehovah] dates from the thirteenth century C.E. Raymundus Martini, a Spanish [Roman Catholic] monk of the Dominican Order, used it in his book Pugeo Fidei of the year 1270 C.E." (Aid To Bible Understanding, 1971, p. 884-5).
So - The word "Jehovah" was made by a Roman Catholic monk in the middle ages. So, whenever any JW insists and demands about the word being the true and proper name of God and must be used, they are insisting and demanding using a word that came by way of someone who was a _very_ devoted member of the Roman Catholic Church...which they totally despise and condemn.
@@wideawake333 Ritter creates a strawman to claim he’s right. No one claims there is a “J” in Hebrew.
However Ritter is more than happy to say Jerusalem, Jericho, Judah, Joshua, Jordan, Jonah, Job, etc but has an issue with Jehovah because no “J” in Hebrew
@@wideawake333 Besides total avoidance of what I wrote, you have been openly lied to in the above post. Here's why that's true:
I don't have a problem with people _using_ the word "Jehovah" - The problem is when JWs absolutely _insist_ that it is the _true_ name of God and MUST be used.
Ain’t! That’s my girl ! Lol jk
That's why they don't carry Bibles any longer. They can easily change their "bible" with the click of the mouse.
Show one rudimentary change in the last 12 months?
False. Many JWs carry the hard copy. And let's have you tell us all what these "changes" are, please? If you don't, that's another false allegation from you? Please meditate on Ex.20.16.
acts 2222 16 has paul recounting his own baptizm and washing away of his sins now google every baptizm in jesus name its all over the bible the sinners prayerwill not appear it wont appear in any concordanse either im here to reason with you if you should choose to post the jws are just lost and that is that its more effective to learn what the bible says and post that instead
22 16 sorry
Put your faith in Jesus Christ who died for our sins according to the scriptures, was buried and rose again the third day according to the scriptures. Jesus is the ONLY way, to heaven, He is the Truth and the Life. Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. 👉 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus 👉and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, 👉YOU WILL BE SAVED (Romans 10:9)
Our good deeds do not out-weigh the bad. God is a judge and He is Just. We have to pay for the bad we have done: lying, stealing, using Gods name in vain. If you believe Jesus took 100% of the punishment you deserve when He died on the cross, then how much punishment is left for you? That was 2000 years ago friends. Jesus died for your past sins, present sins and future sins. If today you believe Jesus took 100% of the punishment you deserve, then where do you go when you die? But if you do not belive that Jesus took 100% of the punishment you deserve, then you have to pay for your own punishment in hell. Believe in Jesus, repent repent repent. 👉The gift of God is eternal life through FAITH ALONE in Jesus Christ and that is good news.
acts 4;12 excelent in acts 18 ;24-26 we see a man named apollos well meaning but not complete since u obviously care enuf to actualy read the BIBLE i will let you read that first IM NOT a jw GOD can give you the grace to endure temptation trials ect but the focus now is; what is saving grace? what identifies me as GODS child? lets go deeper into acts 4;12 in other scriptures not my opinion, lets use (past tense is something that has already been, been there, done that) you read Romans 6;1-6 so that you can see what is written v. one discusses a grace that has already been applied to the reader and is addressed to that reader; v.6;3 reads know ye not? that so many of us as were baptized into JESUS CHRIST were baptized into his death SHOCKER saving GRACE is applied EXCLUSIVELY to those who have already been baptized, but scripture must be proved by scripture, lets read galatians3;26 - for ye are ALL the children of GOD by faith in JESUS CHRiST. read by itself it seems as tho believing in christ makes me GODS child but, to bring it in proper context lets go past tense to the next verse ok? galatians 3;27- for as many of you as (have BEEN) past ense, BAPTIZED (PAST TENSE)into christ have been (past tense)have put on christ. why baptism? you are very close, its in the name acts 2;38-39 read please read in your own bible- then peter said unto them repent,and be baptized everyone of you, in the NAME of JESUS CHRIST for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the holy ghost 39- for the promise is unto YOU and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the lord our GOD shall call paul the apostle was baptized in acts 9;18 but read the whole story then in acts paul recounts his baptism in his own words and shows forgiveness of sins comes in jesus name baptism mark 16;16 the risen Jesus who had risen past tense said if we are not baptized we will be damned find the rest on your own you own a bible and a lap top GOD BLESS YOU
