Re: JW 001 Should True Christians Support Wars? by MaxInDHouse(op): 10:37am On Jul 30, 2021
Well what did Jesus have to say about himself?

He said repeatedly that he was SENT by his father {Matthew 15:24; John 3:16; 4:34} so according to Jesus' own words he is God's messenger who came down from heaven just like the angels. John 8:23


Unlike Gabriel, Michael was so compassionate when dealing with God's faithful servants. Take for instance. When God wanted to inform Zachariah (John's father) that he's going to have a son in his oldage with his old wife (Elizabeth) God sent Gabriel. After delivering God's message to the Highpriest of Israel that faithful day the old man doubted Gabriel, did you know what happened next? Gabriel got provoked and smote Zachariah with dumbness! Luke 1:8-20

Please don't take offense with Gabriel. He got provoked because of some sound reasons. Zachariah was serving as the Highpriest that year so he was standing in the most holy place on planet earth at that time. This most holy or holy of holies is a room inside Jerusalem's Temple. Only the Highpriest of Israel do enter this room and he only does once a year. Before entering he must have made sacrifices otherwise the angel guarding the Ark of God will kill him. So there's no way a man could be there with Zachariah. Secondly Zachariah supposed to be the first and foremost human who should teach others about the sanctify of the most holy. So there's no reason why he should doubt the man standing before him in the most holy place on planet earth!

So Gabriel's action is justified but do you think Michael could have done the same?
There has been several cases where God's people and servants does stupid things yet Michael always have compassion for them all because humans are his choicest of all God's creation not to talk of imperfect and sinful descendants of Adam who are trying to live a godly life. Now you should know why Michael (Jesus) is always considerate when dealing with humans.

Twice Michael (Jesus) cursed living creatures!
He cursed a tree and it withered, he also allowed demons to go after 2,000 pigs so that they drown in the sea. Note that Jesus cursed that tree because this tree didn't produce the fruit yet looked as if it's producing {Matthew 21:19-20} but when humans insulted him he never cursed them {Luke 9:51-56} and do you still remember why he allowed demons to destroy 2,000 living creatures? Well Michael (Jesus) did so just to save one single human! Mark 5:2-13 smiley

Of course there are still much to learn about Michael (Jesus) and his relationship with his heavenly father because their closeness has been so cordial that he could say "whoever has seen me has also seen my father" John 14:8-9

What is Michael (Jesus) doing presently and what will he do in the future?

To be continued.... smiley
Re: JW 001 Should True Christians Support Wars? by MaxInDHouse(op): 6:43am On Jul 31, 2021
After Michael has completed his earthly course he returned to heaven but this time around he has secured a higher position which he earned not just by virtue of his birth as the first creature but for successfully restoring the lives of all Adam's descendants back to the way God planned from the beginning.
So now our future is no longer determined by the inherited sin we got through Adam but in our own hands. All we need now is to choose between Adam who rebelled against his father and became a dead man dispensing sickness and death to all his descendants or Jesus (Michael) who fought with his last breath to remain obedient and faithful to his father all through. Matthew 17:5 compare to John 3:16
All those following Adam's path will perish along with Adam, Eve and their accomplice (Satan) but all those following Jesus' path will be refreshed and they can live forever in Paradise on earth! 1Corinthians 15:45
Michael (Jesus) returned to heaven with the full worth of the sacrifice he made and presented it before God's throne so that both Satan and all his demons can see for themselves that mankind has been redeemed from the curse of Adamic sin. Hebrews 9:11-12

God asked Jesus (Michael) to sit beside Him and wait for the order to start acting as the rightful King of God's Kingdom {Psalms 110:1-2} he waited until the year 1914 when God gave him the order to begin ruling.

The first thing Michael (Jesus) did was to send Satan and all his wicked rebellious spirits out of heaven. Of course it wasn't a easy fight because Satan and his demons fought back to keep their dwelling places but Michael has been giving all the powers needed to conquer after his earthly assignment {Matthew 28:18} so Michael led God's faithful angels to displace Satan and all the demons living in heaven! Revelations 12:7-12

Immediately Satan and his demons arrived on our planet that same year (1914) but this time around they're spiteful and bitter so they quickly want to provoke God's wrath so that God can angrily destroy the earth and all humans on it.

Again Michael (Jesus) counter Satan's evil plan by coming straight to the earth, took away all his dead faithful servants {1Thessalonians 4:16} but there was no religion practicing Christianity that year, Satan's agents are everywhere causing confusion just as Jesus foresaw it in the first century! Luke 18:8

So what next did Jesus (Michael) do after seeing all the damages Satan has done?

Let's continue in the next post.

Good morning! smiley
Re: JW 001 Should True Christians Support Wars? by MaxInDHouse(op):
After seeing all the damages Satan has caused Michael (Jesus) began searching for honest hearted, sincere and obedient people with whom he can start all over again.
Throughout the earth Michael couldn't find any group except one little group in America who called themselves "International Bible Students"

Jesus began using God's Holy Spirit to direct this group. First of all they began having issues because Jesus didn't appear to them physically but since they're ready to improve in their knowledge Jesus began working with them. Some members decided to leave the group and all those taking the lead in this group were imprisoned only to be released in 1919 just to spontaneously begin a global preaching and teaching campaign for God's Kingdom!

So 12 years later after their zealous preaching and industrious teaching has gone far God changed their name from International Bible Students to JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES and that's what they're known throughout the earth today!

Meanwhile there are over 42,000 different sects all claiming followers of Jesus so what are the achievement of the group Michael is working with that will distinguish them from all others?

We will discuss that in the next post! smiley

According to Jesus (Michael) God's Holy Spirit will come and start dwelling with the Christian congregation {John 14:26; 16:12-13} and the spirit is invisible then there must be a sign or mark of the presence of God's Holy Spirit in the gathering of Jesus' true followers! Matthew 7:16-18

Apostle Paul later explained that the Holy Spirit will produce a unique fruit which has nine qualities {Galatians 5:22-23} so if you read Jesus' statements carefully and thoroughly meditate on his utterances you will discover that Jesus actually promised us the nine qualities in the midst of true believers!

All of us are sinners so we are imperfect and that means if you should monitor each individual in this planet no matter how strong the faith of such a person he must have at least one out of the nine works of the flesh he or she is battling with! Galatians 5:19-21 compare to Romans 7:21-25

So if nobody on this planet is totally free from the works of the flesh and Jesus said "you will know them by their FRUITS" {Matthew 7:16} then how are we going to distinguish between the gathering where God's Holy Spirit is working and the gathering where demons are at work?

We'll discuss that in the next post! smiley

Take a closer look at the @underlined & @color and see if it fits into the narration of your INVISIBLE PRESENCE of Jesus in 1914.



Definitely, you never bother to read that place for yourself rather than what Watchtower and Awake infused in your dull brain.

because had it been you read it yourself down to verse 17 you won't have spew that lies against the Holy scripture.

Here it is "17 Then, together with them (THEM HERE ARE "the dead in Christ"wink, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever." NLT

The text says "THOSE who are still ALIVE will meet TOGETHER WITH THE DEAD IN CHRIST in the cloud to be with the LORD FOREVER."

So how many of JWs ALIVE in 1914 who meet with the LORD IN CLOUD?
Wetin concern JWs with your fictitious rapture?
Wetin concern the signs of Jesus presence @ Matthew 24:3-27,37 ( "ruling in the midst of his enemies"wink with your claim @ 1 Thess 4:17?

The Bible conductor is at it again.

Michael SECURED A HIGHER POSITION

And this is the same person:

1. Who Jehovah USED TO CREATE ALL THINGS IN HEAVEN and on earth both authority & power, seen & unseen.
2. Who existed with the same Jehovah from ETERNITY
3. Who ALL THINGS WERE created for
4. Who controls THE WHOLE UNIVERSE by the word of His power.

Please which position is higher than this?

If Michael actually SECURED A HIGH POSITION than the one he had then it means Michael will be greater than Jehovah.




But the only explanation of being given a name that is above ALL NAME, given authority both in heaven and on earth, and be the FIRSTBORN OF ALL CREATION is that, he was not part of CREATION but when he actually became part of creation HE MUST STILL BE FIRST IN ALL THINGS including FIRSTBORN from the Dead.... Col 1:18

CSB: He is also the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he might come to have first place in everything.
CEB: He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the one who is firstborn from among the dead so that he might occupy the first place in everything.
CJB: Also he is head of the Body, the Messianic Community — he is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he might hold first place in everything.
LEB: and he himself is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he himself may become first in everything,


I know your mind can't grab that point but just meditate on that verse and keep asking yourself, why MUST CHRIST BECOME FIRST IN ALL THINGS if he was the same person who CREATED ALL THINGS?

Meanwhile there are over 42,000 different sects all claiming followers of Jesus so what are the achievement of the group Michael is working with that will distinguish them from all others?

We will discuss that in the next post! smiley
======================================


Jesus (Michael) said during the last days many false prophets will arise and mislead many {Matthew 24:11} this has led to suspicion everywhere. Religionists in one sect are suspecting the other saying contradicting things regarding who the so called false prophets are!

So let's focus on Jesus' statement:
Since the false prophets will mislead many we know that can't be possible if they don't gather people and teaching heresy, therefore it's important to distinguish the group practicing true Christianity from credulous religionists today!

How are we going to do this when there are over 42,000 different religious groups having contradicting teachings and conflicting doctrines all in the name of Jesus?

Well we're not left in the dark!
Jesus foretold that there is going to be MARKS of identification, so let's consider those marks together:

Since we're all descendants of Adam and we've inherited sin from our first parents it's extremely difficult to find one single human without sin because sin is the WORKS of the flesh we are all putting on! Galatians 5:19-21

Do not be scared!
The works of the flesh is not what we love practicing always, in most cases we often feel regret after fallen for flesh! Romans 7:14-20 compare to Mark 14:38

So Jehovah our God and heavenly father, and Jesus Christ (Michael) who once lived in the flesh both understands what we're going through! Romans 7:24-25

That's why Jesus promised that Jehovah will send His active force (Holy Spirit) to come and assist the humble ones throughout the earth to do God's will despite their imperfection! John 14:26-27; 16:12-13

When God's Active force settles in the midst of Jesus' true followers, it will help them to do things that ordinarily will be impossible if not due to the presence of God's Holy Spirit, Satan will surely capitalize on our fleshly desires making it extremely difficult for us to do God's will but with the help we will get through God's Active force, we will surely do greater works than Jesus did! Matthew 19:25-26 compare to John 14:12

So what are the WORKS Jesus' imperfect followers are doing that's impossible for false prophets and their followers to do in our day?

We will discuss this in the next post.

Once again you're welcome! smiley


What are the unique WORKS Jesus did that makes him totally different from all other servants of God?
We also need to consider his statement that if we believe in him we will do GREATER WORKS than he did! John 14:12
We shouldn't allow our emotions to deceive us, there's no servant of God that can do one percent of the miraculous works Jesus did so Jesus wasn't talking about miracles in this context.
So what are the WORKS imperfect humans can do that we can all agree wholeheartedly that we have done much more than Jesus?
Well let's consider some facts:
Isaiah explained that a special child will be born who will perform some duties that none of God's servants have ever performed before!
@ Isaiah 9:6-7 we read:


"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of host will perform this". KJV

What are the WORKS this coming child is expected to do?
Isaiah said:
Wonderful Counsellor!
This indicates that the child will Counsel people in a Wonderful manner that no teacher or instructor has ever done before nor after him. So did Jesus fulfilled this? Well he only spent three and a half years in the ministry, and after his ascension only 500 Jews were trying to practice what Jesus taught {1Corinthians 15:6} which means he never proved to be a Wonderful Counselor during his life time as Isaiah foretold! huh
So for Jesus' WORKS to prove really efficient his Counselling should go far much more than the boarder of Judae. Who will complete this WORKS? We will all know the answer to that question if we meditate on his last statement before leaving the earth! Act 1:8 smiley

Mighty God!
According to the dictionary the title "God" connotes a Supreme Being, so how Mighty does this child prove to be? Well he was killed by his enemies and this led many Jews to conclude that Jesus couldn't have been that so called "Mighty God" they were expecting, till now the Jews are still expecting another Messiah that will prove to be a Mighty God.
But what does it mean to be a Mighty God?
Many world rulers have claimed that they are God's but they're all dead now and their glory, Kingdom and influence died collapsed after them! Psalms 82:6
What about this humble 33 year old Jews who was executed along with criminals?
Well right there were Jesus died one of the condemned criminals acknowledged Jesus as King even while they're both languishing in excruciating pains!
No wonder our Master, Lord and King turned as said to this man whom the world has condemned, Jesus said:

“Truly I tell you today, you will be with me in Paradise.” Luke 23:42-43

Surely Jesus is not a radical dictator the type the Jewish community expected him to be, rather he is a humble and loving King!

So how has he proved to be the Mighty God or in other words greater of all those claiming they are Gods simply because they ruled at a point in time?

What can his faithful disciples do in this regard to prove that they can do GREATER WORKS than their teacher and instructors?

We have considered two of the titles the promised Messiah will exhibit: Wonderful Counselor and Mighty God. So let's consider the remaining two titles before we now move on to see how Jesus' true followers have done GREATER WORKS than their Oga! John 14:12

“Truly I tell you today, you will be with me in Paradise.” Luke 23:42-43

Surely Jesus is not a radical dictator the type the Jewish community expected him to be, rather he is a humble and loving King!

So how has he proved to be the Mighty God or in other words greater than all those claiming they are Gods simply because they ruled the world in their own time?

What can his faithful disciples do in this regard to prove that they can do GREATER WORKS than their teacher and instructors?

We have considered two of the titles the promised Messiah will exhibit: Wonderful Counselor and Mighty God. So let's consider the remaining two titles before we now move on to see how Jesus' true followers have done GREATER WORKS than their Oga! John 14:12

Once again you're welcome smiley
