1 | Jehovah's Witnesses in a Nutshell | Rom 3:4 | loyla | 56374 | ||
Hank, God's Word does not lie, never. I have been in positions in my own life where God allowed me to see that where He could have easily consumed me in certain situations where I had forsaken Him. At the same time letting me know that I could not dwell in that thing and be fruitful. God is a God of purpose. When I realized this, I stopped asking a lot of " Why God did I go through this and that". If we study the scriptures, we can clearly see that we are no exception to going through. All of God's main men and women faced opposition or was put in a position where it was due or die for the Lord. Most Americans don't have to face that kind of persecution but if we will go into some of these communist or RELIGIOUS countries where it is forbidden to mention any god but theirs or suffer the consequences, then we will realize how much God has blessed this country and us despite of the obstacles we face. It's nothing but through God's Grace and Mercy which is His unconditional love that has tolerated a country that has blantely turned their face from God. Thank Him for the righteous people in the land. He loves everyone but we have His favor. Let's continue let Him spread that through us. | ||||||

Praise God, I am glad that I was able to shed some light on it. I have found myself, in the past, having done the same thing and even now controlling it. But God truly enlightened me to the fact that He doesn't even make people take the Gospel of Jesus but simply presnets it to them as a choice. Jesus has already done it for the Jehovah Witnesses and others who really don't believe in what Jesus has done. All they have to do is receive that truth and decide to take it for themselves. Even in the days Jesus walked the earth, He experienced the same type of opposition and knew how to answer all men due to His relationship with the Father and dying to His flesh daily which allows spiritual enlightment to come. The carnal man CANNOT understand the things of God which is what makes debating with these people useless. The Lord says that no one cometh except He draweth them first. Folks of every cult have been drawn and won to Christ. He constantly reminds us through His word to watch our conversation and to discipline our flesh because the flesh wants to do wrong. When we don't exercise God's principle's in His Word, we, as Christians, have made it easier for some folk to gravitate towards these cults. We need to center on God's mercy and His love but not leave out His judgement and penalty for sin. Let those of us who have been enlightned to the TRUTH tighten up our spiritual acts so that God can work the way He would like to work through us to win lost souls from the burning hell currently waiting for them. It's then that Jesus can truly say when we stand before Him "Well done good and faithful servant" | ||||||

Hank, perhaps you are correct in the view but only God knows the heart of a person who is truly receiving the trues of this forum. The ones who truly see it as a debate, are usually the ones responding. Of course, not in all cases such as myself, you and some others. Hopefully, there will be enough of the truth circulating to make the difference in someone's life and challenge more Christians to study the Word of God for themselves. God has a purpose for everything for everything he allows and do. God Bless Hank! | ||||||

Well.....Praise the Lord but I hold no grudges towards anyone because our Heavenly Father saids that He WON'T forgive us if we refuse to forgive others whatever the offense. I was just trying to give clarity to you and anyone else who may have misunderstood the content of my note. God Bless you and have a very blessed day in Jesus name. Praise Him! | ||||||

I am a born again Christian who seeks God's Will daily for my life so I, of course understand exactly what you are saying. The cults that I am refering to are organizations such as Mormons, Masons, Jehovah Witnessess, Buddah, Islam which are out right cults. I am not refering to a Born again believer who ministers the TRUTH of God's Word. I thought that you may have gathered from what I was saying that it was apparent. I have been criticised for being closed minded as a child of God through Jesus Christ. I have complete peace about who I am in Christ and never force what I believe that anyone's throat but simply present the truth for them to receive. If they do not receive it, I don't argue or debate the issue simply because I may have only been the planter and someone else may be assigned to water that soul. I have had many experiences and encountered the cults that I named above and know that these organizations do not place an emphasis on Who Jesus Christ is nor what he's done in it's totality. Long ago, I use to dab in witchcraft and am fully aware of the devil's devices. Thank God for deliverance. So you see, no one can debate my experience with the Father and the freedom and peace that he's has given me and the way that he's blessed me. For me, it's not up for any debate. I attend a church where we specilaize in deliverance of strongholds and lifting Jesus name up so I get the TRUTH. In that process, I may be labeled or accused of being in a cult but that is not what I was referring to in my previous note. Thank you | ||||||

Exactly Hank, I believe that if people really want to KNOW THE TRUTH, God will indeed show it to them. A lot of times with folk like Jehovah's Witnesses, we want to use a lot of theology and logic to win them instead of being led of the Holy Spirit of what we should say to them. We have to remember that they are taught that Christians will react a certain way and whatever they are challenged with they will go to a more knowledgable Elder in their own organization to seek the answer they may not have for you at that time. If we yield ourselves and follow God's way of ministering to Witnesses and cults like them, we can win them. We cannot win these folk with head knowledge alone, although you need to have knowledge of the Word of God for God's Word saids that people parish for lack of knowledge and we need to study to show ourselves approved unto God (and remember it's God we are showing ourselves approved unto not man) being a workman that needeth not be ashamed RIGHTLY dividing the Word of truth, so this is essential. But having head knowledge to debate an issue with people under cults is a waste of your breath if you are not led by the Holy Spirit in ministering that knowledge. We must approach people God's way and with His heart and words in which we've studied through His Word and stop just trying to prove we are right and let our words as well as are lifestyles (actions and behavior) before God and man show them the REAL TRUTH. | ||||||

It's amazing to me how folk believe what they want to believe instead of choosing to believe that the Holy Spirit will lead us into all real truth. Most hurting people do not major in the formalities christians make of the trinity. It's like anything else you either believe in what Jesus did and who he is or not. Jesus never forced a doctrine or made an argument with folk concerning God's Word. Just note that I too believe totally in the trinity, although technically you may not see it in the bible, neither do you see the marriage vows in the bible but people recite them before God to unite couples in Holy Matrimony. No matter what the Jehovah Witnesses believe, everyone will know that Jesus is the way, truth, and life as knees are bowed before Him at the great White Throne. It's just like people still get healed today, but Jehovah's Witness will dispute that, Christians had experiences and lifestyles that only God through Jesus(God in the flesh) could have possibly gotten them through but Witnesses and other cults will dispute YOUR experiences. Bottom line: Jehovah's Witnesses fail to believe the one thing that is acceptable to the Father which is the sacrifice of the blood of the ONLY begotten Son of the Living God (JESUS CHRIST) and what He has done to redeem us from the curse of the law given in the old testament. Anyone, including the Witnesses who do not believe that will not see past those pearly gates. | ||||||
