How exactly does the Truth differ from the Lord of the JWs? Are you so intent on defending an institution at the expense of the Truth?

With the below comment it shows you are not ready to accept the TRUTH!

OkCornel:

So JWs heal the sick, raise the dead etc in Jesus’ name?

The truth (Jesus) declared that miraculous gifts and it's imminent benefits only belongs to Israelites {Matthew 15:24} so after the establishment of the Christian congregation it was revealed that such gifts will no longer exist {1Corinthians 13:8} because the Bible God's message to mankind will soon be completed {1Corinthians 13:10} hence whoever wants to worship God must do so based on the LOVE they have for God not to expect any miraculous healing! 1Corinthians 13:13

That's why you can't find REAL miracles today but deceit here and there, so if you don't agree that the Bible is complete as the word of our own God then in what way do you expect us to agree that you know the TRUTH? smiley

Well Jesus declared that miraculous healings and it's imminent benefits belongs only to Israelites {Matthew 15:21-24} as for whether it will continue or not Jesus told them that God's Holy Spirit will continue teaching them the rest {John 16:12-13} he singlehandedly picked Paul as a teacher in Christianity {Act 9:15} so it's Paul that Jesus chose to explain Christianity to none Israelites like you and me {1Timothy 2:7} so if you ignore Paul's statement that those gifts will cease {1Corinthians 13:8-10} and you can't present any group of people performing real miracles yet anticipating miracles after all these facts then you don't have anything to do with the TRUTH in fact you're an enemy of TRUTH! smiley

If these gifts would cease according to your understanding, how would the two witnesses for example in Revelation 11 v 3-6 perform their work?
Re: Does The Bible Need An Update? | Ep. 101 by OkCornel(m): 11:14am On Oct 30, 2022
Revelation 11 v 3-6;

3 And I will appoint my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.”

4 They are “the two olive trees” and the two lampstands, and “they stand before the Lord of the earth.”

5 If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and devours their enemies. This is how anyone who wants to harm them must die.

6 They have power to shut up the heavens so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying and they have power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want.


MaxinDHouse, where did Jesus mention the gifts of the Spirit would cease to operate? And by when?

All you need is humility to make yourself teachable in the midst of true Christians, all these has been fully explained to God's people but since you're not ready to humble yourself you're giving literal meaning to symbolic terms that Jesus used to convey a message to his BORN AGAIN brothers who must explain to the congregation what he's saying.

The two witnesses aren't literal humans but a group of people working with Jesus in the last hour, they will break all the falsehood Satan used to blindfold billions for centuries and if Satan's agents tries to stand up against them they will condemn such ones with the truth protruding out of their mouth! Isaiah 54:17

But all these are deeper things that you need to humbly request a Bible study to understand otherwise you will continue deceiving yourself saying those who aren't agreeing with your literal interpretation are worshiping the same God with you whereas they're contradicting what you're saying! smiley

I’m amazed at how people misunderstand Paul’s Epistles.

1 Corinthians 13 v 8 -13;

8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part,

10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears.

11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.

12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love




MaxinDHouse, please when exactly did Paul mention the gifts of the Spirit would cease?

The bolded parts of the scriptures should make things clearer.

Where did Jesus mention the gifts of the spirit would cease? Where did Jesus mention signs and wonders will cease?!

Now it’s deflection time?
Does asking questions suddenly imply I’m no longer humble?

You can’t lie to your conscience forever. When you stand before God and He searches your heart, just know you have no excuse.

You called me an enemy of the TRUTH. We will see at the end of days who is truly the enemy of TRUTH

This abysmally low level of critical thinking is quite pitiable and nauseating. So, if your Father gives you certain rules and instructions to live a certain lifestyle. Is that religion?!
At this rate, I thought you would have connected the dots…but I guess 66 book lovers prefer to be spoon fed.
John 14 v 6;
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, THE TRUTH, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
John 10 v 30;
I and the Father are one
So yes, my God is Truth…He is the Heavenly Father and the God of all flesh (not just the God of the Hebrews or JWs only)
So Jesus is now "the truth", it's no more God the father abi?

What makes Paul's writings opinions and Matthew, Mark, Luke and John not opinions? And if those 13 books are simply opinions what are they doing in a collection of supposedly the word of the god?

Also if you adamantly claim they are Paul's opinions then they are not the word of the god which means you are editorilising.
These were you questions from earlier and my answer remains same.. as before...

Everyone has opinions....if we go around believing the opinions of others wouldn't that make us all imbe_ciles? undecided
