"Did Jesus Die on a Cross?"


*The Bible’s answer
Many view the cross as the most common
symbol of Christianity. However, the Bible
does not describe the instrument of Jesus’
death, so no one can know its shape with
absolute certainty. Still, the Bible provides
evidence that Jesus died, not on a cross,
but on an upright stake.
The Bible generally uses the Greek word
stau·rosʹ when referring to the instrument of
Jesus’ execution. ( Matthew 27:40; John
19:17 ) Although translations often render
this word “cross,” many scholars agree that
its basic meaning is actually “upright
stake.” * According to A Critical Lexicon and
Concordance to the English and Greek New
Testament, stau·rosʹ “never means two
pieces of wood joining each other at any
angle.”
The Bible also uses the Greek word xyʹlon as
a synonym for stau·rosʹ. ( Acts 5:​30; 1 Peter
2:​24 ) This word means “wood,” “timber,”
“stake,” or “tree.” * The Companion Bible
thus concludes: “There is nothing in the
Greek of the N[ew] T[estament] even to imply
two pieces of timber.”
Is using the cross in worship acceptable to
God?
A crux simplex​ —the Latin term for a single
stake used for impalement of a criminal
Regardless of the shape of the instrument
on which Jesus died, the following facts and
Bible verses indicate that we should not use
the cross in worship.
1. God rejects worship that uses images
or symbols, including the cross. God
commanded the Israelites not to use
“the form of any symbol” in their
worship, and Christians are likewise
told to “flee from idolatry.”​—
Deuteronomy 4:​15-​19; 1 Corinthians
10:14 .
2. First-century Christians did not use
the cross in worship. * The teachings
and example of the apostles set a
pattern that all Christians should
adhere to.​— 2 Thessalonians 2:​15 .
3. Use of the cross in worship has a
pagan origin. * Hundreds of years
after the death of Jesus, when the
churches had deviated from his
teachings, new church members “were
permitted largely to retain their pagan
signs and symbols,” including the
cross. ( The Expanded Vine’s
Expository Dictionary of New
Testament Words) However, the Bible
does not condone adopting pagan
symbols to help make new converts.​—
2 Corinthians 6:​17 ."

**Jehovah's Witnesses have been preaching and teaching the truth that the cross you have on your wrists and wear as necklace as well as in your homes and Churches amounts to idolatry.
Na which Cross apostles Peter and Paul dey wear for neck ?
Idol worshippers in disguise everywhere.
Christianity EtcWhat Is The Origin Of That Cross In Your Home & Church ? by Janosky(op): 11:09am On Dec 02, 2019
Reno Omokri is at Sinai, Egypt . Between The Egyptian Ankh and The ‘Christian’ Cross By Reno Omokri First published in my column, # TheAlternative, in Sunday ThisDay of December 1, 2019. Every day, Christians in their hundreds of millions make the sign of the Cross and think they are performing an act of faith pleasing to God. But is that really what they are doing? I had heard and read about the true origins of the Cross and earlier this year, I even travelled to Ethiopia to celebrate Meskel, which is a celebration of the discovery of the true Cross in Ethiopian orthodox Christianity. I am a truth seeker, and I wanted to get to the truth no matter whose religious feathers were ruffled, and I was told that if I wanted to get to the bottom of the mystery behind the Cross, then Israel and Ethiopia (two countries I had recently visited) were not the best starting point. I was directed to Egypt, and off I went. While in Egypt, I engaged the services of a qualified guide, and we went investigating. And that was when I discovered the Ankh. The Ankh is an ancient Egyptian mystical symbol used to represent life. It is most commonly seen being held by Ancient Egyptian gods and was given by them to Pharaohs as an assurance that they (the gods) would sustain the Pharaoh’s life in the afterlife. One of the things that will shock many people is the fact that Christ did not die on a Cross. The Scriptures never said so. I can see you now getting agitated. Christ existed. He is the Son of God. He lived, died and resurrected as a propitiation for our sins, and there is no way to God EXCEPT through Christ. I did not say The Bible never said Christ died on The Cross. It does. I said the SCRIPTURES never said so. The Bible is a TRANSLATION of the Holy Scriptures. The word used in Scripture is Tree. The original word used in the original Greek Scripture is staurō, which may mean a pole, or a stake, or the word xylou, which means tree. Read Galatians 3:13 if you want to know the truth. The King James Version uses the word ‘Tree’ to indicate where Christ died. The NIV uses the word ‘Pole’. Believe it or not, for the first 300 years of the Church, the Cross was NOT a Christian symbol. Don’t take my word for it. Research it. Everywhere you see the word ‘Cross’ in The Bible, you are reading a word that is translated from either staurō or xylou. I encourage you to use a Greek dictionary to find out the meaning of both words. So, where did the Cross originate from? I urge you to look at the attached picture of the Theban Trinity (consisting of Amun, his consort Mut and their son Khonsu). What are they each holding in their right hands? I urge you to note that these papyrus paintings are over 3000 years old. Now look at modern day ankhs. In Exodus 20:4, Scripture says we must not make an image of anything on Earth or in heaven or under the Earth. That is why Christ and His disciples and the early Church did not use a Cross, whether with or without the image of Christ on it. The usage of the Cross and the Crucifix came from the Roman Emperor, Constantine, who was a pagan and claimed to have converted to Christianity. Thus began the introduction of The Trinity and The Cross into Christianity. Both of which, the Romans and Greeks copied from the ancient Egyptians, not from Scripture. Many of the translators of Scripture into The Bible were Masons. I beg of you, read Scripture in the original language, and your life will never be the same again. It is not so hard. The truth, as I found out in Egypt, is that some of the oldest Crosses in existence are almost a replica of the Egyptian Ankh. It is an undisputed fact that Christ did not die on a Cross. It is an undeniable fact that the Ankh predated the Cross. It is an indisputable fact that Christ asked us to teach believers “to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you”- Matthew 28:20. So, my question is who taught us to observe the Cross, and to make the sign of the Cross, and to put it in our places of worship? Certainly not God or His Son. It is time for us to purge Christianity of pagan practices and that is why I have travelled to Israel, Greece, Spain (Montserrat to see the Black Madonna), Rome, The Vatican, Ethiopia, and Egypt, to gather first- hand knowledge about the true faith that Christ brought to Earth. It is that important. Nothing is more important to me than chasing down the truth about God because Christ said in John 4:24 that “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” If we are adopting pagan mystical practices, how can we be said to worship him in spirit and in truth.”? My life, my money, my possessions and my time is not as important to me as my God. I believe that if mainstream religion clashes with God, a true believer must choose God. If work time and God time clash, a true believer must choose God. If politics and God clash, a true believer must choose God. If football and God clash, a true believer must choose God. If friends demands and God’s requirement clash, a true believer must choose God. To me, this is the only way I know how to worship God in spirit and in truth and I urge all my readers not to take my words at face value, but to be like the Berean Christians who “were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.”-Acts 17:11. We must pay close attention to what Scripture says. Scripture like 1 Timothy 4:1 which reads as follows: “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;” How can we have a symbol in churches whose origin is clearly of Ancient Egyptian mystical origins and we are not asking questions? Some people privately message me and urge me to tread with caution, lest the establishment quietly kills me. But even that warning assumes that I am afraid of death. I am not scared of death. Not at all. What do I want to achieve in life that God has not given me, often on a platter of gold? If I, who has been so blessed by God, cannot risk my life against the establishment for Him, then I am of all men most useless! 2 Chronicles 16:9 says “For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.” My body is imperfect towards God. I am a sinner. I freely confess that. But my heart is wholly devoted to God. I have no doubt in my heart that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God and Father of my Lord and Saviour, Yeshua Hamashiach, is the ONLY TRUE God. If I am killed doing what I believe He is leading me to do, then that death will be the sweetest death possible and I have no fear in my heart if it has to come. We cannot just go along to get along. We must interrogate every aspect of our religion to make sure that it has complete fidelity to Scripture. After all, it is the same Scripture that warns us to “believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.”-1 John 4:1. Every information that does not lead to transformation is entertainment. Do not just read this and be entertained. Read this and be spurred on to get to the bottom of your faith. You owe it to yourself because on the last day of Judgment, every man will independently give an account of his life before God who tries the heart. God bless you as you do this. According to Mark Twain "The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why." When I started out on this journey in 2018 by going to Israel to get to the bottom of the original Scripture, I had previously thought my purpose in life was to infuse Godliness into Nigerian and world politics (especially after my book became a number one bestseller). I now see that that is a side purpose, and the main purpose was to call the Body of Christ to fidelity with the original Scriptures as they were written in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek. I gave a respected and high profile Nigerian today’s column, before it was published, because he requested it. He then tried to convince not to publish it and accused me of “pride” for refusing to accept his counsel and even said satan influenced me. I responded to him by asking him how satan could have influenced me when what I was writing was faithful to Scripture and to prophecy. I confronted him with the fact that the original Scripture did not use the word ‘Cross’, not even once and that it was European translators who inserted that word into Scripture. I further reminded him that in the only Scripture that prophesied the way Christ would die (Deuteronomy 21:23), the word used was the Hebrew word הָעֵ֗ץ (spelt in Roman alphabets as hā-‘êṣ, which is the Hebrew word for tree. He responded by googling and sending me a picture of a tree that looks like a Cross and said that historically, the Romans crucified people on Crosses. I responded by asking him if we, as followers of Christ, should follow pictures derived from Google or historical accounts, or Scripture, especially when 2 Timothy 3:16 says “All SCRIPTURE is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:” Note the word Scripture. Not Bible (translation of Scripture). At this point, he again accused me to beware of “pride”. I asked him how I could be proud when I was relying solely on Scripture. He asked me if I was relying on Scripture for the part about Masonry. At that point, I had a guest come in, so I could not chat with him with the same rapidity. That Masons, and Rosicrucians dominated the translation of Scripture into the King James Version of The Bible is a historic fact. Research it. Sir Francis Bacon, who was Lord High Councillor to King James I, was a Rosicrucian. That is a historical fact. The word Rosicrucian simply means "Order of the Rosy Cross". It was their agenda to promote the Cross. The Cross plays a mystical role in their occult world. Many of those appointed into the committee that translated Scripture into KJV were Masons. That is a historical fact. And even Masons themselves regard the KJV as “The Great Light of Masonry”. Scripture tells us not to be “be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”-Romans 12:2. What better way to fulfil the above Scripture than to read Scripture in its original language and “conform” to it? If the original Scripture does not mention the word ‘Cross’, and instead uses the word tree, then who are you conforming with by arguing for and propagating the lie that Christ was crucified on a Cross? Certainly not God. Certainly not Scripture. Why can we as Christians not learn from Muslims by learning and reading Scripture in the original language? I know of 7 year old Muslims who can read and recite the Quran in Arabic. Why can we not have adult Christians who can read and recite the Holy Scripture in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek? That is why I respect Apostle Johnson Suleman. He not only taught himself Greek. He went to Greece and stayed in a commune and read the original Scripture in its original language 34 good times!

Christianity EtcRe: What Is The Difference Between God And Lord? by Janosky:
johnmba:
Have been wondering if there is a difference between the two. My reason is this: we believe that Jesus is God and in St. Paul's letter he said " Blessed be God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ"

Also Elizabeth filled with the Holy Spirit said " who am I that the mother of my Lord should visit me".

So people is there any difference.
## (1).
YES.
Big difference like night and day. '
But ,Lets see the similarities first....
God is a title ('EL',meaning Mighty One) and 'Lord' (meaning Master) is a title too.
* 1 Cor 8:5,6. 'God' & Lord' are titles for God, for man and for Jesus Christ.
That is where the similarities ends.

# (2).
*Psalms 83:18, (KJV) Jehovah is the Most High God"
*John 17:3, Jesus says his Father is the Only True God..." 1 Cor 8:6, 'One God'
# (3)
* John 20:17 & Rev 3:5,12 ,Jesus says he is ascending to our God & Father & and his God &Father in heaven and earth (Jehovah the Most High).
Note : Jesus NEVER called himself God.
Jehovah has no God, no Father.
But, Jesus Christ has a Father and God above him in heaven and earth.
* Ephesians1:3, "Jehovah is the God & Father of our Lord Jesus Christ."

# (4)
Acts 2:36, Jehovah God gave Jesus the title of "Lord".
John 10:34-36 ( KJV) Jehovah gave the title 'God' to man and to Jesus Christ.
Compare Psalm 82:1,6(KJV).
PROOF: Jesus is a God. Man is a God.
Both Jesus and man exist in the image of God. 1 Cor 4:4. Genesis1:27.

Matt 11:25,Jesus calls his God, "the Lord of heaven and earth," PROOF of Jesus inferiority to his God & Father.

# (5)
Psalm 110 :1 American Standard Version
(ASV)
Jehovah gives dominion to the king.
A Psalm of David.
110 Jehovah saith unto my Lord, Sit thou at
my right hand,
Until I make thine enemies thy footstool."
* In heaven, Jehovah is giving a Command to Lord Jesus Christ "Sit at my right hand".
Jesus Christ is a divine being, a god. NOT the 'ONLY true God' his Father is.

The Trinity scam is the reason for your confusion.
Las,las the Trinity is a FRAUD.
Shine your eyes.
Christianity EtcRe: "Poor In Spirit", What Does It Mean? by Janosky: 10:00pm On Dec 01, 2019
Hiswordxray:
POOR IN SPIRIT

"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." (Matt 5:3)
“Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need." (Matt 6:33).

We are to seek the Kingdom of God above every other thing, and now Jesus is say the Kingdom of God is for those who are poor in spirit. This mean that if truly the Kingdom of God is ours then we are poor in spirit. But what does "poor in spirit" mean? The word poor there does not refer to lack of money or material wealth, and the word spirit there is definitely not referring to a spirit being.

"Poor" as used in this scripture refers to humility, emptiness, and lack of sufficiency in one's self. Yes, a man is considered poor when he finds no sufficiency in himself, he is not full of himself, but rather empty and in utter reliance on God. He leans heavily on God as he has nothing and can do nothing by himself. All that he has is God, he is utterly empty of himself. He finds himself always depending on God, for he does not know how to survive without God. Now, to understand the word "spirit" as used in that scripture we would look at another scripture.

"And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;" (Eph 4:23).

The word spirit here is also not referring to a spirit being, rather it means a spiritual construct. Some other translation puts it this way, "to be made new in the attitude of your minds;" Attitude is a disposition, a state, an arrangement, a construct. The spirit of your mind therefore means the disposition of your mind, how your mind has been constructed to think, its attitude, how it behaves. A proper interpretation of that would be, "the spiritual nature of your inner man".

"Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day." (2Cor 4:16).

Yes, the nature of your inner man, that person that you are inside needs to be renewed day by day as we are being conformed to the image of Christ. The person that you are inside determines how you think, how your mind behaves, and therefore what you do. Our spirits already has the nature of Christ, but our soul, our inner man, still needs to be conformed to that. We need to start expressing this divine nature, and as the scripture says, "out of the fullness of the heart the mouth speaks" (Matt 12:34).

We simply express who we are inside, the spiritual nature of our inner man. It is the nature of our inner man that needs to be constantly renewed, conforming to the nature of Christ. Therefore when Jesus said, "poor in spirit", he was referring to the spiritual nature of our inner man. He is saying that deep inside of us we must have this attitude of poverty, emptiness, humility, and lack of sufficiency in ourselves. We must come to the end of ourselves and learn to only lean and depend on God for everything.

"Jesus gave them this answer: "Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself;" (John 5:19).

The son can do nothing by himself, he has no sufficiency in himself, he is utterly empty. This is the attitude of a slave who owns nothing, even himself does not belong to him, he is the property of another. Therefore no matter how much is in his possession or how great is the estate that he overseas, he is poor, it does not belong to him, he owns nothing. Jesus is saying the Kingdom of God is for those who have this attitude, who are empty inside, who sincerely feels like they own nothing despite their fat pocket, the large figures in their bank account, the properties that is in their name, the number of talents, skills, abilities, qualifications and the greatness of the knowledge they have.

They see themselves as empty before God, always relying on Him rather than their money, knowledge, wisdom, skills, abilities, talents, understanding, qualification, status and power in the society. They may be rich in all these things, but they rely on God instead, they feel like God is their true riches, their true qualification, their true wisdom, knowledge, understanding, their true power, talent and ability.

He is their all in all, the one and only thing they truly have. When we come to this level of emptiness then we are comformed to the true citizens of the Kingdom of God, for this is how the citizens of the Kingdom should be, this is their true nature and we need to start walking in that nature if truly we believe that we are the citizens of the Kingdom of God.
* Matthew 5:3 NWT

3 “Happy are those conscious of their
spiritual need, since the Kingdom of the
heavens belongs to them."

*** In other words, happy are those conscious of their need for Jehovah God.
Compare Psalms 1:1-3. Rev 1:3.
Humility,self sacrifice, Faith ,Love & obedience to Jehovah's righteous standard even though it's unpopular in the world.

No. Holy Spirit is the third person in the Trinity. He is a living being and the personal Spirit of the ALMIGHTY GOD. Though invisible, even in the Heaven, but you can feel his presence when he is near. I have felt his presence many times and it is
sweet.

The "it" used in Rm.8:26 ("Spirit itself maketh intersection for us"wink is just English semantics or grammatical usage. Remember the "Spirit" was written in capital letter throughout the book, indicating that he lives.

Going further, in Rm.8:27 "he" was used for the same Spirit ("what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints"wink.

Like I said it was just semantics.
The third person wey David no see (Ps 110:1,2).

Speaking of fruits that prove who is doing God's will on earth today....that's a very tricky matter. The JWs family that tried to convert me is a case study. I don't want to generalise based on few witnesses I have met, but I have this to say:

An average witness girl can easily commit immorality and take in, go for several ABORTIONS but will NEVER take blood transfusion. Do you want to know why? Its because within themselves they try as much as possible to keep the APPEARANCE of godliness. I am talking from experience!

Several others will rather visit witch doctors than seek miracle through prayers, again this is from what I have seen.

Its all about keeping the APPEARANCE! Everyone wants to belong.

Again I don't mean all JWs are like that, but just that they care more about what people will say than living to please God.
Any JW who choose to "chop & clean mouth" ,so to speak, is simply deceiving him/her self.
Nobody can mock Jehovah's standards Galatians 6:7.

JWs discipline unrepentant ones , you know that very well (1 Cor 5:1-13), unlike the iniquity being covered up by your Pastorpreneurs you pay membership fees to..
that one the wife divorced, till tomorrow none of una get liver ask am to proof his innocence to the former wife's allegations against him....
(Prophet Nathan no call David to account for his sin ?)
The guy man still maintains official business policy of separation of his junior pastorpreneurs from their wives and family, dey carry on him side attraction,nothing mega...

The point I can deduce from your response are two:

(1) You claim JWs are the only group that do house to house preaching.... But that's not true. Long before Watch tower came into existence Christian missionaries brought Christianity to the most distant part of the earth including Africa. Today JWs are not the only bible preachers, the fact JWs refuse to adapt to modern communication technology in dissemination of the gospel does not grant them any approval. To make it clearer, JWs have a website (jw.org), a lovely mobile app, and use of projectors in kingdom halls, but for some reason unknown to many, they tactfully avoid use of TV stations, radio stations and newspapers just to stick to the door to door preaching?

I call that hypocrisy (just like the Pharisees in Jesus's day who like to pray in street corners while putting on the appearance of godliness) because of the manner in which your preaching work is done, your leaders make every witness register the number of hours they go out there preaching, they even go as far as making it appear like a competition among members to show off by reporting many hours per month. These records don't end up in kingdom halls, they go as far as the branch offices and even up to your HQ in America.

Why appraise people on earth for doing God's work when the bible made it clear in Revelation 22:12 - And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be (KJV). Is the governing body (a word that can't be found in the bible) now having to power to keep record of people's work to reward them in some way?

That is the reason why your so called preaching work is an eye service activity to please elders and governing body and other members in order to appear godly and just.

(2) the second point I can deduce is the idea of progressive understanding of scriptures. Can you at least support this theory with scriptures? And does this apply to only JWs and not others? Because since your understanding is progressive as you claim, how come you can't give non JWs benefit of doubt that their doctrines are also progressive? If you can't apply this progressive understanding to all doctrines then that's a double standard.
JWs are the pioneers of using the broadcast media to preach the good news, because you are LYING & deluded, you are not well informed.
In the 1920s ,we did it. Today, we have JW TV broadcast.. we are still doing house to house preaching till tomorrow..

(2). Your point 2 shows that you refused to receive sense even though you read
Luke 19:11. John16:16-18. Luke 24:44,45 in my previous post.
Further proof you have shallow understanding of the holy Scriptures.

Your fallacies here:
"That is the reason why your so called preaching work is an eye service activity to please elders and governing body and other members in order to appear godly and just."

This is proof of your gross disrespect for Jesus Christ preaching ministry (Mark 1:13-15. Luke 4:43,44 "I must declare the good news of the kingdom of God, because for this I was sent forth"wink. Matt 24:14.
You no know shishi about Jesus Christ.... & his Father. John 17:3.

Achorladey: The above catch my attention and in essence the summary of what you are TRYING to PASS across is the BELOW........

This" means THIS. I think we all know what "this" means. This does not mean "that". Nor does it mean 'those'. I could own several houses, and I do, but if I was in the house in particular in which I reside, and I was speaking to a realtor about selling "this" house, would the realtor come to believe that I intend to sell one of my other houses? Or perhaps several of my other houses? (thank you overlapping houses teaching)
I think not.

When Jesus said "this generation" he meant what he said. To hear individuals or organizations try to twist that simple phrase into a dark hole to suit their inclination for fairytale myths is saddening.

Jesus said "this generation " not 'that generation' or 'those generations' and "this generation" was his own generation. History demonstrates his words were true.
** Matt 24:3-34,
Achorladey, you too sabi lie lie...
*Matt 24:14, "Jesus said "this generation of Jesus own " that saw "the good news of God's kingdom preached in ALL the nations"

**verse30 Jesus said "this generation of Jesus own " that saw " all the tribes of the earth beat themselves when they see Jesus coming in a cloud..."

***
vers31,
Jesus said "this generation of Jesus own " that saw the angels blow a great trumpet & gather his chosen ones from four corners of the earth"

maximunimpact:
(1) John 8:32 reads: And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free [King James Bible] Mark the phrase “the truth”…. Which means truth cannot have versions, something like “NEW development” to the truth as you put it. If truth changes like you want people to accept, what then will happen to those who believed and died in your “former understanding”? You said “the Watchtower family have declared themselves as NOT inspired”, but they still maintain that they’re the faithful and discrete slave Jesus talked about, who provides spiritual meal in due season. If these same faithful slave(s) have been wrong in their previous understanding of the scripture which have necessitated the “new light”, how can you prove the current understanding is in fact the truth?

(2) The generation doctrine has been “reviewed” more than 10 times since 1975, As early as the mid 1960's, the Watchtower had strongly suggested that the 1914 generation would end by the Fall of 1975, this is 2019 and Armageddon is yet to happen. Isn’t that enough reason to discard the whole idea that “That is why this case needed extra care to handle”? (Quoting your eloquence). Not all prophesies need human interpretation, especially the ones no one can predict, like the Armageddon the Watch Tower have consistently failed in all their predictions with regards to DATE.

(3) World war 1 was never what Pastor Charles Tazz Russel predicted to happen in 1914, what he predicted was Armageddon – the end of the present system of things! Obviously that didn’t happen and when the war broke out, he and his fellow travelers quickly held onto it as a significant event to validate their publications and predictions. The world war war was a coincidence at best – it was equally followed by the more devastating world war II, why did the watch tower not make a big deal from that too? A gain notice how it was convenient for the watch tower to hold onto the acclaimed invisible presence of Christ in 1914 and the invisible ousting of Satan from heaven, why would anyone believe that when all predictions that eyes could have seen failed to occur?

(4) The funniest fact about JWs is that everything they accuse “Christendom” of doing is exactly what they end up doing. You said “It's the additions that's causing confusion globally in all the religions claiming Christians, instead of them to come together to resolve what's causing the division (which is the added doctrines) these religionists concluded that they're all DIFFERENT DENOMINATIONS of the same religion” - Russell left the Presbyterian Church to join the Congregational Church, he ended up founding an entire religious organization that today claims to be the only “true Christians” on earth. Not to mention the failed predictions over the years which the watch tower says are the characteristics of fake prophets.

(5) You said Jehovah's Witnesses are globally known for their house to house evangelizing, that much is true, but they are not the only group doing that – the following Christian group also do house to house preaching:

• Bible Studies Fellowship, headquarters in San Diego, Ca.
• Bible Way Publications, Ft. Lauderdale, Fl.
• Christian Millennial Fellowship, Hartford, Conn. Publishes the New Creation magazine.
• Christian Renewal Ministry, Saratoga, Ca.
• Church of God of Abraham, Wenatchee, Wa. Publishes Notes for Bible Students newsletter
• Dawn Bible Students, East Rutherford, N.J. One of the original splinter groups formed after Joseph Rutherford became president.

All these are splinter groups from the watch tower organization.
All the stuff you wrote equally applied to Jesus disciples who were following him before Jesus ascension.

Your 1 to 4, Luke 19:11, Jesus disciples said "the kingdom of God will appear IMMEDIATELY",
Bros, this is 2019, deal with it.

## John16:16-18 & Luke 24:44,45 EXPOSES YOUR SHALLOW UNDERSTANDING OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES.

In Your 5, Maximum impact, make you talk true. Since you were born,have you ever seen these groups preaching house to house in your neighborhood?

The Watch Tower have a habit of stretching the scriptures to suite whatever plan they have, first they overstretched Nebuchadnezzar's dream to mean more than his 7yrs madness which landed the sect into the 1914 controversy, till date that has become their biggest error.

Secondly they read more into Jesus's words (Matthew 24:34 [King James Bible]
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.)
to the Jews concerning the Roman invasion that ended the Jewish nation in the first century, every bible student understands that to mean the invasion will happen while the generation listening to the sermon are still alive.

The Siege of Jerusalem in 70 AD when the Romans destroyed much of the Temple in Jerusalem fulfilled Jesus's prophesy, but just like the Watch Tower read more into Nebuchadnezzar's dream, they also made same mistake twice by over stretching the scripture which always put them into thesame mess, which is: "the 1914 controversy"
*Matthew 24:3-34
3
As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of
Olives, the disciples came to him privately.
"Tell us," they said, "when will this happen,
and what will be the sign of your coming
and of the end of the age?"
4
Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one
deceives you.
5
For many will come in my name, claiming,
`I am the Christ, and will deceive
many.
6
You will hear of wars and rumors of wars,
but see to it that you are not alarmed.
Such things must happen, but the end is
still to come.
7
Nation will rise against nation, and
kingdom against kingdom. There will be
famines and earthquakes in various
places.
8
All these are the beginning of birth pains.
9
"Then you will be handed over to be
persecuted and put to death, and you will
be hated by all nations because of me.
10
At that time many will turn away from the
faith and will betray and hate each other,
11
and many false prophets will appear and
deceive many people.
12
Because of the increase of wickedness, the
love of most will grow cold,
13
but he who stands firm to the end will be
saved.
14
And this gospel of the kingdom will be
preached in the whole world as a
testimony to all nations, and then the end
will come.
15
"So when you see standing in the holy
place `the abomination that causes
desolation,' spoken of through the
prophet Daniel--let the reader
understand--
16
then let those who are in Judea flee to the
mountains.
17
Let no one on the roof of his house go
down to take anything out of the house.
18
Let no one in the field go back to get his
cloak.
19
How dreadful it will be in those days for
pregnant women and nursing mothers!
20
Pray that your flight will not take place in
winter or on the Sabbath.
21
For then there will be great distress,
unequaled from the beginning of the world
until now--and never to be equaled again.
22
If those days had not been cut short, no
one would survive, but for the sake of the
elect those days will be shortened.
23
At that time if anyone says to you, `Look,
here is the Christ!' or, `There he is!' do not
believe it.
24
For false Christs and false prophets will
appear and perform great signs and
miracles to deceive even the elect--if that
were possible.
25
See, I have told you ahead of time.
26
"So if anyone tells you, `There he is, out in
the desert,' do not go out; or, `Here he is,
in the inner rooms,' do not believe it.
27
For as lightning that comes from the east
is visible even in the west, so will be the
coming of the Son of Man.
28
Wherever there is a carcass, there the
vultures will gather.
29
"Immediately after the distress of those
days "`the sun will be darkened, and the
moon will not give its light; the stars will
fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies
will be shaken.'
30
"At that time the sign of the Son of Man
will appear in the sky, and all the nations
of the earth will mourn. They will see the
Son of Man coming on the clouds of the
sky, with power and great glory.
31
And he will send his angels with a loud
trumpet call, and they will gather his elect
from the four winds, from one end of the
heavens to the other.
32
"Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As
soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves
come out, you know that summer is near.
33
Even so, when you see all these things,
you know that it is near, right at the door.
34
I tell you the truth, this generation will
certainly not pass away until all these
things have happened."

**## Maximum impact of FALSEHOOD,
where you copy that lie wey you no want give credit to the original poster?
Matt24:3-34, Jesus Christ said "this generation" will certainly not pass away until ALL these things have happened."
**Jesus means the generation that saw ALL THE EVENTS OF VERSES 3 to 34.
No generation at any time has seen the fulfilment of verses 14,27-31.

(1)
John 10:30 - " I and the Father are One"

(2).
John 14:19.....
These are direct statements of Jesus. Are you satisfied?
(1)
Matt 19:5,6. "the two are one"
1Cor6:19. "the two will be one"

** John10:30 Jesus Christ speaks of being in Agreement with his Father.
OR, "Heartbender" interpretation of John10:30 meaning that John14:28,Jesus Lied.
*John10:36,Jesus refutes Trinitarian twisting of John10:30.
1 Cor11:3 further contradicts Heartbender interpretation of John10:30.

(2).
John14:19 and Matt 10:40 , Jesus Christ is making the same point.
If you have seen Jesus, you have seen the Father because Christ said " the message I teach is not mine,but belongs to him,my Father that sent me " John 7:16.

Have you ever read the KJV Bible, which is the first universal Bible for the English speaking people, and compare it with your own JW Bible?

Please do and you will know the Truth and it will set you free.

Also forget about the whole Bible being written in the Hebrew and Greek languages, every Bible scholars know about that. And moreso all the existing Bible versions were translated from these original texts, including yours.

Also, that sacred Word Yahweh or Yehovah or Jehovah means The LORD GOD, so your JW version mentioning the sacred name all through does not change anything, it is the same I AM THAT I AM. GLORY BE TO HIS HOLY NAME.
https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/questions/who-is-jehovah/

"Also, that sacred Word Yahweh or Yehovah or Jehovah means The LORD GOD"

Jehovah does NOT mean The LORD GOD"
Jehovah is God's name.

"The LORD GOD" is a title.
YHWH means "I shall be what/who I will be
OR
I shall become what /who I shall become.."
* Hebrew language has no present tense "I am" is not Hebrew...

*KJV was translated from the late 16th century TR- Textus Receptus manuscript ....
