Hi: No need to make me aware as to whether or not I am Jehovah Wintess. I am not. Interesting that that is the point on which you make comment. In this case the New World Translation says exactly the same as does any other, namely that the elect are gathered, and the rest not being elect are not gathered by this angel. The point made was that this gathering is after the tribulation, and before Armageddon, and is therefore not in the right sequence of events to be the rapture, as many believe. The ones being gathered in the first reaping (gathering) are The Elect. The ones left are those who are not the elect, but many of these are reaped (gathered) by the second angel who reaps grapes to be trampled in the wine press of God's wrath (Armageddon) We have no affiliation with any religious organization. One reason for this is that different organizations teach different things, and so we are left to our own devices as to find out which one is actually teaches truth. In addition some organizations have some things right, but other ideas incorrect. By the time one figures that out, one need no longer ask any one what is true. We depend on the scriptures and Holy Spirit who opens an understanding for them. " The annointing you have received teaches you all things and you have no need of a teacher" is a quote that should be taken to heart or believed, and give any true believer confidence to test everything that all others say to see if it is true or false. One cannot depend on others to interpret things for them, but depend on Holy Spirit, Christ and Father alone. These three are in perfect agreement. Sincerely Henry and Emmy |

Personal Note................................................ Hello Henry and Emmy, By saying that you are not affiliated with any religious organization, do you mean that you do not meet regularly with any particular group of believers, or that you're just not an offical memeber of any particular group? |

Personal Note......................................................... Emmy and Hank, I am glad to hear that you are involved in a small group Bible Study (as long as the "small group" isn't just the two of you). It is very important for Christians to worship God not only as individuals but also in a corporate group. God designed us to be social beings, and desires for us to fellowship with other believers. He uses this to challenge us (Proverbs 27:17), and it is even a command (Hebrews 10:23-25). I would encourage you both to find a local church where you will able to do these things on a regular basis. |

Hi: It does not take many to gather for Christ to show up too. We have a study group of about 12. This seems really good for getting together and seriously studying scriptures. A group this size leaves everyone a chance to contribute to the discussions. Even two is enough for a group. CHrist will join two or three as well as more. Numbers are not that important, but rather what is in the hearts of those present. Wish more would comment on content of what we post. My experience so far is mostly put down for being suspect of being JW which we are not and which we do not agree with. The comments are mostly left there, rather than posting a good logical presentation to the points made. Scripture for the above comments on numbers in a group. Matt 18:20 "For where two or three have gathered together in My name, there I am in their midst." This says to us it does not matter how small the groups are, but that they keep in touch to encourage one another. The passage says merely to keep in touch with like minded people, not necessarily to join a larger group Sincerely Henry and Emmy |

Personal Note............................................. Hi Henry and Emmy, I'm glad that you are meeting with other Christians besides yourselves on a regular basis. I also understand you desire for more response on the content of you original post. The reason why I asked about the JW group is simply because we have recently had one prominantly participating in the forum and I didn't know if you were coming from the same place. You are relatively new here to the forum with few posts so far, and I just wanted to see where you were coming from. Please don't be offended for that was not at all my intent. As for the content of your post, I did not respond to it due to the fact that it dealt with the rapture and eschotology. I have not really studied either of these subjects deeply and do not have anything of interest to share on the subject. Perhaps someone else will :) Finally, it's good to have you participating here on the forum and I look forward to more correspondence in the future. |

Hi: Thanks for your response. My comment on responses was posted in hopes that some would respond in a more helpful way. I am not offended no matter what is posted, unless I were to post something offensive. I would cease posting before that happens, as that is of use to no one. The comment about posting was also not directed at you, but is generally the case. The fact that you did not comment on something you say you do not understand very well is commendable. To put out postings that are wrong is not the best thing one could do. Sincerely HEnry and Emmy |
