43 | Turning to sin after salvation | 1 Cor 6:9 | Aniset | 110006 | ||
1Corinthians 6:9 says: 9. What! Do YOU not know that unrighteous persons will not inherit God's kingdom? Do not be misled. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men kept for unnatural purposes, nor men who lie with men, 10. nor thieves, nor greedy persons, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit God's kingdom. Or, as the verse is paraphrased in The Living Bible: "Homosexuals-will have no share in his kingdom." Leviticus 18:22 *** 22 "'And you must not lie down with a male the same as you lie down with a woman. It is a detestable thing. Also, it should be noted that homosexuality had been condemned by God before the law of Moses was even given. The account about Sodom and Gomorrah, referred to earlier, proves this fact; those cities were destroyed by God over 400 years before the law of Moses came into existence. Jesus was aware of that.-Luke 17:28, 29, 32. So I ask you. If God destroyed all of those people for Homosexual acts do you think he has changed his mind now to allow it. Another thing that we have to keep in mind is that God reads the heart. And a persons actions will reveal what is in his heart. As lovers of God and of his word we do not want to disobey him. But, if we happen to do what is bad in his eyes, he will forgive us if we show a truly repenting heart and change our corse of life to do what is good. First, you must make a conscious decision to change. Acts 3:19, |

44 | LIERS WILL NOT INHERIT,OR SEE KINGDOM OF | 1 Cor 6:9 | Aniset | 109987 | ||
This scripture does not directly say liers. However we know that liers are unrighteousand here are a few reasons why. God’s View of Lying The tendency of humans to lie was noted back in Bible times. Said the psalmist: “Untruth they keep speaking one to the other; with a smooth lip they keep speaking even with a double heart.” Self-interest lurked behind their lies. They said: “With our tongue we shall prevail. Our [lying] lips are with us. Who will be a master to us?” Note, though, how God felt about their lying ways: “Jehovah will cut off all smooth lips, the tongue speaking great things.”—Psalm 12:2-4. Yes, “a false tongue” was and is one of the things that “Jehovah does hate.” (Proverbs 6:16, 17) After all, it is Satan the Devil himself who is “the father of the lie.” (John 8:44) Interestingly, though, the Bible makes no distinction between lies and ‘white lies.’ It simply says, “No lie originates with the truth.” (1 John 2:21) That is why a “devious person is a detestable thing to Jehovah, but His intimacy is with the upright ones.” (Proverbs 3:32) Yes, Jehovah simply will not have a close relationship with someone who is dishonest. The God-fearing youth thus cannot view any kind of lying as acceptable. As a youngster named Tyrone puts it: “It is like a true-or-false test. Something is either right or wrong.” The father, or originator, of lying is Satan the Devil. (Joh 8:44) His lie conveyed by means of a serpent to the first woman Eve ultimately brought death to her and to her husband Adam. (Ge 3:1-5, 16-19) That first lie was rooted in selfishness and wrong desire. It was designed to divert the love and obedience of the first human pair to the liar, who had presented himself as an angel of light, a benefactor. (Compare 2Co 11:14.) All other malicious lies uttered since that time have likewise been a reflection of selfishness and wrong desire. People have told lies to escape deserved punishment, to profit at the expense of others, and to gain or maintain certain advantages, material rewards, or the praise of men. Especially serious have been the religious lies, as they have endangered the future life of persons deceived by them. Said Jesus Christ: “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you traverse sea and dry land to make one proselyte, and when he becomes one you make him a subject for Gehenna twice as much so as yourselves.” (Mt 23:15) The exchange of God’s truth for “the lie,” the falsehood of idolatry, can cause a person to become a practicer of what is degrading and vile.—Ro 1:24-32. Jehovah God cannot lie (Nu 23:19; Heb 6:13-18), and he hates “a false tongue.” (Pr 6:16-19) His law to the Israelites required compensation for injuries resulting from deception or malicious lying. (Le 6:2-7; 19:11, 12) And a person presenting false testimony was to receive the punishment that he desired to inflict upon another by means of his lies. (De 19:15-21) God’s view of malicious lying, as reflected in the Law, has not changed. Those desiring to gain his approval cannot engage in the practice of lying. (Ps 5:6; Pr 20:19; Col 3:9, 10; 1Ti 3:11; Re 21:8, 27; 22:15) They cannot be living a lie, claiming to love God while hating their brother. (1Jo 4:20, 21) For playing false to the holy spirit by lying, Ananias and his wife lost their lives.—Ac 5:1-11. |

46 | What is God's Son's name? | Phil 2:9 | Aniset | 108464 | ||
Most of the newer bibles make it hard to determine who they are talking about when they use the title Lord for both the Father and Son. The name Jehovah was in the Original Holy Scriptures over 7000 times. In most newer bibles the name Jehovah or YHWH is replaced with Lord. Before you disagree with me please research the information yourself. |

Yes Jehovah’s Witnesses do have a much material to read. Our material is bible based. That means that the foundation of our publications is from the bible. However you are incorrect in saying that we neglect the bible for answers. We take bible reading very seriously. Jehovah’s Witnesses greatly appreciate their Bible study aids, including The Watchtower, and use these regularly. But we know that none of them take the place of the Bible itself. We never forget that the Bible is our Standard and that however God-given our helps may be they are ‘helps’ and not substitutes for the Bible. We carefully examined the Scriptures daily’ to determine the Scriptural basis for what was being taught.—Acts 17:11. Daily Bible reading will help us to “walk worthily of Jehovah to the end of fully pleasing him” instead of allowing the world to squeeze us into its mold.—Colossians 1:9, 10; Romans 12:2. |

Tom, you made many statements in your note to me. I would like to address them one by one. 1) You said “With so much material from Watchtower to read, the one book they neglect for answers is the Bible.” “Every year, with thousands of pages of Watchtower material to read, e.g. lessons, books, magazines, and such, but limited Bible reading assigned”. You were correct in part. Yes Jehovah’s Witnesses do have a much material to read. Our material is bible based. That means that the foundation of our publications is from the bible. However you are incorrect in saying that we neglect the bible for answers. We take bible reading very seriously. Jehovah’s Witnesses greatly appreciate their Bible study aids, including The Watchtower, and use these regularly. But we know that none of them take the place of the Bible itself. We never forget that the Bible is our Standard and that however God-given our helps may be they are ‘helps’ and not substitutes for the Bible.

Daily Bible reading will help us to “walk worthily of Jehovah to the end of fully pleasing him” instead of allowing the world to squeeze us into its mold.—Colossians 1:9, 10; Romans 12:2. 2) You said “Jesus instructed HIS FOLLOWERS in Acts 1:8 “You will be MY WITNESSES … even to the remotest parts of the earth.” “And they were JESUS CHRIST’S witnesses, as stated in Acts 11:26 that the disciples first came to be known as CHRISTians.” That is also correct. That is when the disciples were first called Christians. However, Do you recall Revelation 1:5 “And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness.” Jesus Christ came to bare witness to his father. By bearing witness to the truth, Jesus glorified the name of his heavenly Father. (John 17:4, 6) He laid bare religious falsehoods, preached the good news of the Kingdom, and opened the door to spiritual freedom for those in religious bondage. (Matthew 15:3-9; Luke 4:43; John 18:37). Did you know that we too do this? There are Kingdom Halls of Jehovah’s witnesses in over 230 lands worldwide and in every language. We also show that we are followers of Jesus by doing the work that he sent his disciples to do at Luke 10:1-3. Jesus sent his followers out to the people. From House to house. And that my friend is why Jehovah’s Witnesses go knocking on doors in the rain sleet and snow. We practice loving our neighbors as we do ourselves. We have information from the bible. Not anything that we have made up, heard or assume to be true. Only that which can be proven from the Holy bible. “We must obey God as ruler rather than men.” (Acts 5:29) 3) You said “Speaking of Watchtower. Does that CD ROM have access to old copies of their literature? You know, the ones that PROPHECED things that embarrassed The Society almost into extinction.” Well Tom, yes we do have access to all the old literature. The Watchtower Society does not try and hide their mistakes from us. And your right that was a very embarrassing thing. But let me ask you something Tom, Have you ever made a mistake in your family that may have embarrassed the family and you had to correct it? Well this is also something that had to be corrected. The only way to correct these things is from diligent and thorough study of the scriptures. By doing this we also learned of other things that needed correcting. Did you know that witnesses also use to smoke(Romans 12:1), take blood (Genesis 9:4, Acts 15:20), and wear the cross? (1 Cor. 10:14, 1John 5:21). Because of careful bible study we see that these things should not be done by followers of Christ. 4) you said Jehovah’s Witnesses won’t accept any other bible except NWT. Well that is not true. We use KGV, Today’s English version, NASB and others. We do prefer the NWT because Jehovah’s name put in the proper places. The name Jehovah was in the Original Holy Scriptures over 7000 times. In most newer bibles the name Jehovah is replaced with Lord. This makes it harder for people to understand that there is a difference between Jehovah the father and Jesus the Son. Also notice that most people cannot understand the language in the KGV. This is also why there have been so many different translations published. People have a desire to understand what they read. So before you criticize the New World Translation compare bibles for yourself. It helps us all to understand what we read. |

54 | Types of Fornication(Masturbation) | Matt 15:19 | Aniset | 107244 | ||
Tara1 I got this off of the CD.“This is a general term for all unlawful intercourse, (I) adultery: Hos. ii. 2, 4 (LXX.); Matt. v. 32; xix. 9; (2) unlawful marriage, I Cor. v. I; (3) fornication, the common sense as here [Eph 5:3].” Bauer’s Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament (revised by F. W. Gingrich and F. Danker, 1979, p. 693) defines por·nei´a as “prostitution, unchastity, fornication, of every kind of unlawful sexual intercourse.” Porneia is understood to involve the grossly immoral use of the genital organ(s) of at least one human; also there must have been two or more parties (including another consenting human or a beast), whether of the same sex or the opposite sex. | ||||||

56 | HOMOSEXUALITY IN THE BIBLE | Bible general Archive 2 | Aniset | 107203 | ||
Romans 1:23-31 18 For God's wrath is being revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who are suppressing the truth in an unrighteous way, 19 because what may be known about God is manifest among them, for God made it manifest to them. 20 For his invisible [qualities] are clearly seen from the world's creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable; 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God nor did they thank him, but they became empty-headed in their reasonings and their unintelligent heart became darkened. 22 Although asserting they were wise, they became foolish 23 and turned the glory of the incorruptible God into something like the image of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed creatures and creeping things. 24 Therefore God, in keeping with the desires of their hearts, gave them up to uncleanness, that their bodies might be dishonored among them, 25 even those who exchanged the truth of God for the lie and venerated and rendered sacred service to the creation rather than the One who created, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26 That is why God gave them up to disgraceful sexual appetites, for both their females changed the natural use of themselves into one contrary to nature; 27 and likewise even the males left the natural use of the female and became violently inflamed in their lust toward one another, males with males, working what is obscene and receiving in themselves the full recompense, which was due for their error. 28 And just as they did not approve of holding God in accurate knowledge, God gave them up to a disapproved mental state, to do the things not fitting, 29 filled as they were with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, badness, being full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malicious disposition, being whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, insolent, haughty, self-assuming, inventors of injurious things, disobedient to parents, 31 without understanding, false to agreements, having no natural affection, merciless. 32 Although these know full well the righteous decree of God, that those practicing such things are deserving of death, they not only keep on doing them but also consent with those practicing them. |

57 | Is Jesus YHWH? | OT general | Aniset | 107199 | ||
The person who became known as Jesus Christ did not begin life here on earth. He himself spoke of his prehuman heavenly life. (Joh 3:13; 6:38, 62; 8:23, 42, 58) John 1:1, 2 gives the heavenly name of the one who became Jesus, saying: "In the beginning the Word [Gr., Lo´gos] was, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god ["was divine," AT; Mo; or "of divine being," Böhmer; Stage (both German)]. This one was in the beginning with God." Since Jehovah is eternal and had no beginning (Ps 90:2; Re 15:3), the Word's being with God from "the beginning" must here refer to the beginning of Jehovah's creative works. This is confirmed by other texts identifying Jesus as "the firstborn of all creation," "the beginning of the creation by God." (Col 1:15; Re 1:1; 3:14) Thus the Scriptures identify the Word (Jesus in his prehuman existence) as God's first creation, his firstborn Son. That Jehovah was truly the Father or Life-Giver to this firstborn Son and, hence, that this Son was actually a creature of God is evident from Jesus' own statements. He pointed to God as the Source of his life, saying, "I live because of the Father." According to the context, this meant that his life resulted from or was caused by his Father, even as the gaining of life by dying men would result from their faith in Jesus' ransom sacrifice.-Joh 6:56, 57. Not a co-Creator. The Son's share in the creative works, however, did not make him a co-Creator with his Father. The power for creation came from God through his holy spirit, or active force. (Ge 1:2; Ps 33:6) And since Jehovah is the Source of all life, all animate creation, visible and invisible, owes its life to him. (Ps 36:9) Rather than a co-Creator, then, the Son was the agent or instrumentality through whom Jehovah, the Creator, worked. Jesus himself credited God with the creation, as do all the Scriptures.-Mt 19:4-6 |

58 | This is Now, what scripture can I use | 2 Timothy | Aniset | 107196 | ||
2Tim 3:1-5 3 But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self-assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, 3 having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, 4 betrayers, headstrong, puffed up [with pride], lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power; and from these turn away. 6 For from these arise those men who slyly work their way into households and lead as their captives weak women loaded down with sins, led by various desires, 7 always learning and yet never able to come to an accurate knowledge of truth. 2Tim 4:3-4 3 For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching, but, in accord with their own desires, they will accumulate teachers for themselves to have their ears tickled; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, whereas they will be turned aside to false stories. 5 You, though, keep your senses in all things, suffer evil, do [the] work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry. 2 Corinthians 4:4 4 among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through. Rev 12:9 9 So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; So because Satin is the God of this system of things it is very important that we remain no part of the world. John 17:16. 1John 1:5-65 And this is the message which we have heard from him and are announcing to YOU, that God is light and there is no darkness at all in union with him. 6 If we make the statement: "We are having a sharing with him," and yet we go on walking in the darkness, we are lying and are not practicing the truth. |

59 | How do we know when we are hearing God? | 2 Tim 3:16 | Aniset | 107190 | ||
Baba, The bible tells us at 2 Timothy 3 that 16 All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work. God has said everything that we need to to know in order to live happy in his word the bible. There is no need to expect a voice to come out of heaven or into our heads. Many people would like to beleave that they are hearing Gods voice. But two things we need to realize is that, if God were going to talk to us personally then we wouldn't need the bible. Secondly if God were talking to us then why would everyone get a differant message. |
