1 | John 8:24- What does this mean to you? | 1 John 4:2 | deep input | 157163 | ||
Hello Brother Glenn, What does Joh 8:24 mean to me? I know that I am a sinner. I know that the world is lost. I understand that through Adam and Eve God could not have the type of relationship that He wanted. I know the only way He could have this was by the shedding of blood. There was nothing that man could do to make this relationship right. I understand that it is not by works but by grace through faith that saves us from His wrath. I know Jesus is that Lamb that shed His blood making it possible for God to have the relationship with the world that He desires. I know Jesus is the only way. Now we both know that there is still His wrath to come. Joh 3:16 says God so love the world that he gave his only begotten Son and who so ever believes in him will not parish but have everlasting life. There is also a world that God hates. 1joh 2:15 do not love the world, jas 4:4 friendship with the world is enmity with God. There is world that God loves and a world that God hates. I have been asking God for several years which is which. He has been giving answers has I have been able to understanding. I know I am a child, but I want to grow up. I am seeing very little difference between one of these worlds and modern christianity. Both believe in Christmas, both believe in patriotism, and so on. The Jehovah Witnesses are different from the world and modern day Christianity. The question then becomes, Is the world that modern day christianity is attached to the one that God loves or hates? Is it right to pledge our allegenece to anyone or anything but God? | ||||||

Hello Deep input, To cut through your complaints about modern Christianity, versus the Watchtower bible and tract society, please understand that effectively it is as if you are comparing filthy, muddy legal currency to crisp clean counterfeit currency. You are still choosing the counterfeit if you do not have Jesus as God. Even then the Watchtower is not at all clean as you believe. Do you know anything about their founder? His grave site is marked with a pyramid that shows his belief in the occult. You really need to look it up as others have. You wrote: “The Jehovah Witnesses are different from the world and modern day Christianity. The question then becomes, Is the world that modern day christianity is attached to the one that God loves or hates?” To say that there is a world that God hates is a misconception. The world hates God in there fleshly ways. Are you aware that the Jehovah’s witnesses appealed to the pride of the white man just as the KKK and Mormons did? A proud look is at the top of the list of things that God hates. The 144,000 were said by them to be white men only. Not even white women were to be included. On the show, the former Jehovah’s Witnesses pointed out scripture that proves that Jesus Christ is in fact Jehovah God: Zec 11:12 And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver. They indicated that “my price” is Jehovah talking here. Also look at the next chapter: Zec 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. Notice how it says “…they shall look upon me whom they have pierced…”. They said that this is examples of many scriptures that every Jehovah’s witness should know. 2Corinthians 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
