I embrace this idea of the "wider hope" . It makes perfect sense and is in keeping with the justice and fairness of God. Those who never heard the gospel will be given their first chance to respond to its message during the millennium. But those who reject the gospel message in this life are said to be "judged already" in John 3 verse 18.
I've been out of the jws and awake for just over a year. I've done a lot of research to try and keep a faith. Everything always seemed to bring me back to Christ. But I agree (I'm at about 36:31 of this discourse). Jesus' gospel is so much more than his death. One of the videos I found pointed out that Jesus healed BEFORE he died. He had the power to forgive and heal while alive. Jesus said that satan killed him and I think satan has many people deceived to just focus on Jesus' death over all else. I get that it was a part of it. Jesus could not be broken like Adam so satan killed him and our Father (who is one, not part of a masonic triune deity) resurrected Jesus, which satan has also perverted that with bunnies and eggs and sex rites. Jesus gave a command to love. Love is what sets a true believer apart. When I first discovered anti-jw "apostate" content I called an elder friend of mine and he told me I hurt at what's going on because I have a heart like Christ. I love being non-jw now. I love being able to truly love people and leave the judging up to Jesus. The one who had every right to condemn the woman with the flow of blood, didn't. He healed her. He loved her. I see in my own life how much the love of imperfect people heals. I can't imagine how much the love of Jesus will heal the world when he returns. The hardest part of being exjw is the fact that I've had to adjust to the fact I may fall asleep in death. The gb always put pressure on any day now, but these videos have helped me find comfort again. Thank you brother
The Gospel of the Kingdom is the message that God is bringing to the Earth his anointed King that He chose and made both Lord (King) and Messiah (Christ). Acts 2:36 All the corrupt leaders and governments will be swept away and never spoken of again. Daniel 2 Jesus is raising up and training his Church to be Kings and Priests to God in a Kingdom on the Earth for 1000 years. When God sends Jesus back to raise the dead and set them and us as leaders in the Kingdom on the Earth after the Great Tribulation. Rev 20:4-6 To be a part of this Kingdom you must Repent (forsake sin, change your life, change your mind). You must know the Only True God who is Our Father and believe that He sent Jesus the Messiah. John 17:3 You must confess that God made Jesus Lord (King) and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead. Rom 9:10-11 You must follow and practice the teachings of Jesus. Go and Make Disciples teaching them all that I have commanded you. Mat 28:20, If you do not obey Jesus you will not be saved. Luke 6:46, Mat 7:21-23, Heb 5:9-10
Dear Mr Buzzard, Five minutes into the lecture you mentioned Col 2. I guess you were pointing to the following passage: "And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it. So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ." (NKJV) Can you please tell me what is wrong with this translation in which I read that the saints and faithful brethren to whom Paul is writing shouldn't let them be judged by the unbelievers in keeping (part of) the law. For keeping these laws of the food, drinks, festivals, new moons and Sabbaths are just a shadow of things to come because the substance is of Christ and under the ruling of Christ after His second coming much more laws will be kept. Greetz, Fred

That translation doesn’t change the meaning?
