Does Resurrection require your DNA?

by cameo-d in

just wondering because if you are cremated i don't there there are any trases of dna left in ashes.. .

bob1999

"The Watchtower's idea of the resurrection doesn't mean a thing."

So the Christ that is in Heaven is not the same one who walked the earth 2000 years ago.

Interesting....

Who is resurrected into the 1000 year reign?

by bob1999 in

the wts teaches that those that make it through armageddon and others.

from their own bible .

"and i saw thrones, and there were those who sat down on them, and power of judging was given them.

The WTS teaches that those that make it through Armageddon and others.

From their own bible
,
"And I saw thrones, and there were those who sat down on them, and power of judging was given them. Yes, I saw the souls of those executed with the ax for the witness they bore to Jesus and for speaking about God, and those who had worshiped neither the wild beast nor its image and who had not received the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand. And they came to life and ruled as kings with the Christ for a thousand years.
(The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.)"

By the time we get to verse 12 we are after the 1000 years.

verse 12;

"And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and scrolls were opened. But another scroll was opened; it is the scroll of life. And the dead were judged out of those things written in the scrolls according to their deeds. 13 ;And the sea gave up those dead in it, and death and gave up those dead in them, and they were judged individually according to their deeds"

Second question; Why do the dubs say they don't believe in hell?

verse 10;

"And the Devil who was misleading them was hurled into the lake of fire and sulphur, where both the wild beast and the false prophet [already were]; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever."

Even if they don't believe in hell for man, it is clear that the devil, the wild beast and the false prophet will be in hell "tormented day and night forever and ever".

So there is a hell.

The WTS's "Almighty God" is not so Almighty

by bob1999 in

wt 1981 .

"actually, by teaching that god is omnipresent christendom has confused matters and made it more difficult for god to be real to his worshipers.

how could god be present everywhere at the same time?

bob1999

WT 1981

"Actually, by teaching that God is omnipresent Christendom has confused matters and made it more difficult for God to be real to his worshipers. How could God be present everywhere at the same time? God is a spirit Person, which means that he does not have a material body, but a spiritual one. A spirit has a body? Yes, for we read, “If there is a physical body, there is also a spiritual one.” (1 Cor. 15:44; John 4:24) God being an individual, a Person with a spirit body, has a place where he resides, and so he could not be at any other place at the same time. "

So how can an almighty God be limited?

The God of the Bible is not limited in any way.

The WTS has it all wrong.

Shame.

...Are Jehovah`s Witness`s Christian`s?...

by OUTLAW in

christians recognize "jesus",as the mediator between god and man.....jehovah`s witness`s recognize the "watchtower bible and tract society",as the mediator between god and man.....jesus is out of a job!

!..the wbt$ fired him a long time ago!..lol!

!......................jehovah`s witness`s don`t follow the words of jesus.they follow the words of the wbt$.....are jehovah`s witness`s christian`s?...................................outlaw

bob1999

The Bible makes it clear that to be a Christian one has to be "in Christ"

The WTS teaches that only the 144000 are in Christ.

So the only JW's that are Christians are those of the 144000, by the WTS own teachings.

Peace.

"Brothers"

by bob1999 in

i've been around jehovah's witness's most of my life.

i hear them talk about the "brothers" and "sisters".

this, from the official web site; .

bob1999

So when a JW says "brother" he's not referring to anything to do with Christ?

It's just an organizational thing?

"Brothers"

by bob1999 in

i've been around jehovah's witness's most of my life.

i hear them talk about the "brothers" and "sisters".

this, from the official web site; .

bob1999

I've been around Jehovah's Witness's most of my life.

I hear them talk about the "Brothers" and "Sisters".

This, from the official web site;

"At the end of World War II, many of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Europe and the Orient were in need of food, clothing, and housing. Witnesses from other countries shipped tons of clothing and food to their spiritual brothers in Europe, the Philippines, and Japan."

Here's the question.

Where does the idea of "brothers" come from?

Most Christians would say we are brothers and sisters "in Christ".

I'm thinking of the verse that says if we are in Christ we are co-heirs.

That is, we will share in His resurrection. Romans 6:5

So if I'm a co-heir with Christ and you are a co-heir with Christ, we are brothers.

But the WTS teaches that only the 144,000 are "in Christ".

So the members of the other sheep are not brothers at all.

The WTS is very inconsistent in teaching and practice.

'We have God ...'

by ID Crisis in

luke 3:8 (new international version) .

8produce fruit in keeping with repentance.

and do not begin to say to yourselves, 'we have abraham as our father.

bob1999

I think that's one sure way to know a religion is not true.

bob1999

It could be that he does not believe the Jehovah's Witnesses are witnesses for Jehovah.

So he does not want to call them something that they are not. He leaves the possessive off.

what happens after Armageddon?

by cameo-d in

didn't jesus say survivors would be "changed in the twinkling of an eye" ?.

didn't jesus say the dead would be resurrected first, before this change occurs?.

didn't jesus say he was going to prepare a place and we would be "taken" there to be with him?.

9"I tell you, make friends for yourselves by using the riches of the world that are so often used in wrong ways. So when riches are a thing of the past, friends may receive you into a home that will be forever.

This is Jesus saying what the master said to the servant. Showing that with unrepentant man, one will be praised for being a crook as long as you "come out ahead".

Jesus himself says about this whole thing "If you have not been faithful in the use of unrighteous Mammon, who will entrust the true riches to you?"
