Just recent I was talking to a JW, I always wonder what go's through their minds, I always watch them look me up and down-I give a passage, and I listen to them chance the subject, especially when I am on the subject to study their own bible, they actually believe they are the chosen people, the Holy ones of Jehovah-the JW asked me 'would I like to study with him, "quickly "I ignored him, and jumped into the next subject. I just don't have it in me, to turn my back on Jesus, for another unknown god-I have studied about pagan religion, and many types of religion have and had bowed down before Baal without any repentance, through their traditional rules and regulations without God' it;s man made works. So now I just listen and watch the fruit go by-without getting myself to involved, I don't need to say anything-nor do anything-with love' I find the first exit out, thanking the Lord-he had opened the door for me.

You quote scripture-without knowledge-You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! The truth is-if you are not born again and if you aren't filled with the Holy Spirit then the kingdom of God does not abide in you. To be frank-I have never heard not one JW say they abide in Christ, and Christ abides in them.. The Lord said: I have given them the glory You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one—I in them and You in Me— that they may be perfectly united, so that the world may know that You sent Me and have loved them just as You have loved Me. Father, I want those You have given Me to be with Me where I am, that they may see the glory You gave Me because You loved Me before the foundation of the world.… So how does one say-I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God-when in fact you have no fellowship with the Lord in the first place? Maximus69: |
But you aren't Jesus-and you don't have the same Spirit as Jesus, nor do you carry the same Spirit He gave to His apostles. Because once you get Jesus wrong in the first place-then what you preach is not the truth.. Maximus69: |

Dealing with the Catholic's "no-one seems to ever see Jesus-but yet the Catholic's seem to see Mary in all her glory, so does this mean there is another Mary that the rest of the world don't know about? She is made out to be some what saint above every name above heaven on earth and under the earth so she is praised and worshipped above measure.. Because the Mary the Catholic's believe her to be, doesn't seem to match the Mary I know in scripture, Mary disbelieved Jesus, her own siblings didn't believe Jesus was Christ the Son of God. So how is it-she should be glorified above every name-if she was also in need of a savour just like the rest of us? {Matthew 12:46-50} Jesus’ Mother and Brothers While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to him. Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you.” He replied to him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” Pointing to his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.” Obviously when we read these scriptures, we can see-Mary and her siblings didn't believe Jesus was who He said He is. I suppose this was why Jesus said: come out from amongst them My people.. {2 Corinthians 6:16-18} What agreement can exist between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be My people.” “Therefore come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.” And: “I will be a Father to you, and you will be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.”… |
I will.. Maximus69: |
I already do-I even worshipped my Jesus before you existed on this forum.. Maximus69: |
You have said that right-this was why Jesus would argue with you. because not even you believe that 'He is.. Maximus69: |
Well it's like this, if the Pharisees were preaching the truth in the first place-Jesus wouldn't have wasted His time trying to correct them. Well it may seem to you, that we all are on the same track preaching what it seems to be the truth. But I assure you this is not the case,, Maximus69: |
Maximus69:Well after I had read the above-Yes this is what is expected from any JW-they lie against the truth-the truth is this: if I said you are my brother-then my father is the devil. Maximus69: |
I am only obeying the Word of God..Where in your case you refuse too.. Maximus69: |
{Mark 7:1-8} Jesus exposes the danger of man-made traditions-And now Jesus was approached by the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem. They had noticed that his disciples ate their meals with “common” hands—meaning that they had not gone through a ceremonial washing. (The Pharisees, and indeed all the Jews, will never eat unless they have washed their hands in a particular way, following a traditional rule. And they will not eat anything bought in the market until they have first performed their “sprinkling”. And there are many other things which they consider important, concerned with the washing of cups, jugs and basins.) So the Pharisees and the scribes put this question to Jesus, “Why do your disciples refuse to follow the ancient tradition, and eat their bread with ‘common’ hands? Jesus replied, “You hypocrites, Isaiah described you beautifully when he wrote—‘This people honours me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. And in vain they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men’. You are so busy holding on to the traditions of men that you let go the commandment of God! And this all falls under your own tradition-like the Pharisees-they believed no-one knows God unless they follow certain traditions, you also believe the same-no-one knows God unless they become a Jehovah Witness-following their traditions the Watchtower brings fourth.. {John 4:20-22} Jesus and the Samaritan Woman--Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where one must worship is in Jerusalem.” “Believe Me, woman,” Jesus replied, “a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. It's obvious you can't worship God without the Watchtowers approval-Jesus said; we are free to worship God anywhere, anyplace.. Maximus69: |
I don't know about you, having this virus around is an open door for us all, this gives us a chance to discover the truth about Christ, it doesn't matter which Church we are from, the problem we are having here, is, our fathers and their fathers before them are still following tradition! It doesn't matter which Church we are from, what is really important is we don't take the Word of God to some other level other then the truth. You are no different to the world-you follow tradition more then you obey the truth, this is your chance to learn all truth and nothing but the truth. This personally is not about you-Jesus said: before Abraham was born 'I Am, He is the I Am-all things were created for Him. {but do you believe it?} {Colossian 1:15-17} The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.… Maximus69: |
Its obvious, you haven't the slightest idea who the Holy Spirit is, and how He directs His disciples where and when to go. It is obvious you go where you wish-without the Holy Spirit directing you. It is obvious the Watchtower is under the spirit of the Antichrist, he go's where he pleases denying God his Father ever existed.. Maximus69: |
Do you actually believe the Watchtower is the only group doing God's Work. Don't you understand the disciples sent the message out unto the hole world to preach the gospel-they risk their lives to get the message through, they didn't call themselves an organisation. These men and women were free-they didn't come under an organisation-they separated themselves from religion the Pharisees had laid upon them, they travelled where the Holy Spirit led them to go, you must be mistaken-the Holy Spirit doesn't come under an organisation, Jesus said, those who believe in Me are saved: not by works only but by faith also-which means: it doesn't matter where you are, it doesn't matter who you are, as long as you are having some what relationship with Christ-that is all what matters.

“Why would God allow Covid-19?” The whole world seems to be asking this question, a fact that actually gives the biggest part of the answer. More on that shortly. COVID-19, or coronavirus disease 2019, is a respiratory illness caused by a coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). The effect of the illness can range from mild to severe. First identified in Wuhan, China, in late 2019, the virus quickly spread to other countries. On March 11, 2020, COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Only a liar or a true prophet can claim to know God’s reasons for bringing about COVID-19 or any other specific calamity. That’s partly because God’s purpose extends to every individual involved, from the beginning of time to the end of the world. Understanding every possible factor goes far beyond human ability, but God has within His complete knowledge and control every facet of every situation (Romans 8:28–30). The Bible reveals some insights about God’s use of deadly disasters in general, but we must apply relevant Scripture and the principles of faith in order to gain wisdom about any specific disaster. As with any mystery, to solve it we must go from the known to the unknown in our search. So we’ll put question of why God would allow COVID-19 into the context of what we already know from the Bible and from personal experience: we know that life is a gift from the Creator (Isaiah 42:5; Acts 17:25). We know that God alone has the right and power to give life and take it away according to His own wisdom and plans (Job 2:10). We know that life is short and includes some degree of suffering, ending in death and judgment for how we lived our lives—only one life with no “do-overs” (Hebrews 9:27). Short or long, our lifespan and date of death are set and controlled by God (Matthew 10:29). Even the longest human lives are “like a breath; their days are like a fleeting shadow” (Psalm 144:4). Moses described God’s sovereignty over life and death, and this could have been written about today’s COVID-19 pandemic: “You turn people back to dust, saying, ‘Return to dust, you mortals.’ A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night. Yet you sweep people away in the sleep of death— they are like the new grass of the morning: In the morning it springs up new, but by evening it is dry and withered” (Psalm 90:3–6). So what is God’s purpose in allowing COVID-19? Without being too dogmatic, we know that, generally speaking, one of God’s purposes in trials is to get the world’s attention off themselves and onto Him, their Creator and Savior—which is the biggest part of the answer to the question at hand. “Why would God allow COVID-19?” Millions are suddenly asking that question right now, believers and non-believers alike, which means that God is on their minds. God desires for all people to earnestly seek Him and find Him, discovering that He is actually close to us (Jeremiah 29:13; Acts 17:26–28). God desires us to sense our own weakness and neediness so that we put our trust in Him (2 Corinthians 12:9). God desires people to fear Him with proper reverence and awe (Proverbs 9:10); to love Him more than their own lives (Matthew 10:37; John 12:25); and to show love and gratitude for the Savior by loving and helping fellow humans, especially the suffering (Romans 15:1; James 2:14–17). God desires to shift our focus and affection away from this temporary, troubled world to our eternal, heavenly home (Colossians 3:1–2; Hebrews 12:1–2). Times of trouble are a prime motivation for us to store up treasures in heaven rather than cling to treasures on earth (Matthew 6:19–20; Colossians 3:1–3), and to be good stewards of those blessings God gives us in this life (Luke 16:11; Matthew 25:14–30). God wants us to trust Him absolutely, knowing that our times are in His hand (Psalm 31:15). Ultimately, it is the poor and hurting who seek God, not the rich and comfortable. It is danger and calamity that turn men to their Savior, not health and wealth (see Mark 2:17). It is suffering that wakes us to our true need. C. S. Lewis put it this way: “God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pain: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world” (The Problem of Pain, HarperCollins, 1996, p. 91). Life for all people means facing suffering, death, and their eternal destiny. Even if we develop immunity to COVID-19, we can’t escape the fact of trouble in the world. What’s best for us, in any situation, is to seek God: “Blessed are those who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart” (Psalm 119:2). |
But this is a good sign, the Lord said come out of her My people, since the virus came-the church closed, Churches that focused on tradition from our fathers tradition, and their fathers tradition before them 'and so on. The Lord said come out from amongst them My people-this is not just talking about religion-the point I am making" this is the time we begin to seek after the Lord-finding out what is truth, and what is tradition, for to long many different organisations have followed tradition-arguing over words that is not acceptable in the eye's of God, believing the lie rather then the truth. Jesus argued with the Pharisees over man made tradition-traditions most Churches practice today. This is a good time to seek after the Word of God-repent and forgive and to be set free from the unbiblical literature we have been taught from our fathers and their fathers before them. It is known that Rome is planning to bring all Churches together in unity under a lineament with the Roman Catholic Church, the virus had caused the world to stop-Churches have closed-people have separated, we have all read-a one world religion will take place-and what perfect timing before we see our fellow Christians turning away from the Word of God. |
Do you really believe I will turn away from Jesus and follow after the Watchtower? I had already studied with the JW's-there truth is there own, none of it belongs to Christ. I have asked you many questions in the past, and still you never gave me any answers-so what makes you think someone other them you, could answer them for you 'now? Maximus69: |
Well revival had begun within the body of Christ, Christians from all nations are seeking after the Almighty for healing,, physically and mentally people are returning back to the Father, asking the Lord for His forgiveness. Our nations will heal-but not in the way we know it to be, yes it will take time, and we will loose many, thousands upon thousands are dying everyday, I call it, a silent war against humanity, ''no one will take the blame-nor stand up to settle the score. But the bottom line is, we have each other-we have faith in Christ to lead us to the end. |
We learn by asking questions, if you can't answer my questions, then say you don't have the answers? Simple.. It isn't worth your wild trying to figure it out, when really you just don't have the answers. Plus look around you, no-one other then myself are answering your post, so feel a little grateful, that at least I have the decency to rely back to you.. Plus if you were really serious about learning the truth, then I am all ears.. Maximus69: |
If this was the case then why do you feel I am attacking you every time I mention the Almighty's Name. Maximus69: |
The blind can only lead the blind... So until you wake up and see the truth that is written in front of you, then nothing I say will change anything in you.. Times are coming to pass, and maybe we are bound, but the Word of God is still preached to every nation.. Maximus69: |
Maximus69:This is why we have repeatedly told you, the Watchtower lays under the sway of the evil one-even a blind person could tell us that. Maximus69: |
I am a child of God-Because God told me so, haven't you not read we are all made in the image of God.. Maximus69: |
Well if you are a child of God-there shouldn't be a problem-loving me. Maximus69: |
You truly love me.. Maximus69: |
He sure does, but He doesn't know anybody who brings in another doctrine that doesn't line up with the truth, and your doctrine doesn't line up, so how can you say Christ knows you?. Maximus69: |
Finely you have admitted we have a different God, so obviously you will never agree with any truth concerning Christ Himself.. Maximus69: |
Those of the devil recognises your voice, those you call your own that don't mind a little religion, just to justified there stupidity to even listen to an unbiblical non organised group you call the Watchtower, that's leading people to their final resting place, that the bible calls "Hell. and you call it a good deed.. Maximus69: |
Then why then do you think, JW is doing God's works-when in fact you can only communicate with your own,, Maximus69: |
