Isa 12:3 Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.

Luk 11:32 The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas [is] here.
Rev 14:3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred [and] forty [and] four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
But yet still many do not know him as JEHOVAH and may not learn the words of the song they shall sing for only they that are redeemned shall know the words

So then if the spirits of the redeemed have been announced as wit by Christ showing for the strength they shall bring into this world at the end

Rom 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
Rom 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with [him], that we may be also glorified together.
Rom 8:18 ¶ For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

Rom 8:20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected [the same] in hope,

Rom 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
Rom 8:23 And not only [they], but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, [to wit], the redemption of our body.

Now knowing this there are many now to be welcomed into Israel’s inheritance
And a part of Israel that is not hospitable to these strangers is rejecting
The whole of Gods creations groans and awaits the true Sons of God
So for what ever its worth
God has put this within the hearts of his creation;
That they are awaiting this manifestation on on earth
And shall gladly rejoice
If we do not have the truth within us, then they shall not be drawn to us to find what they have to hear that shall be as rain in dry desert much rejoicing
Again the kings orders the latter part of the kingdom is greater than the startThe poor and needy await the invitation
May your election be seen to Mankind?
It is that we can do nothing of ourselves
It is only by beleiving the truth and not having stolen away from us that we shall be overcomers

I agree, It is through grace and the Spirit that we are saved. To say that we are the “true” church because we “are doing something” doesn't line up with the New Testament teachings.The law written in our hearts and minds. We no longer are of the letter of the law. I have to admire the Jehovah Witnessess because of their zeal for God. They have brought many truths to light Paganism, Trinity, Hell etc. But they must be led by the Spirit if they are children of God.
Jehovah is my Father my Daddy and my God. If I call Him by His Name does that make me His child? Scripture says as charity points out it is those who are led by the Spirit that are the children of God.
Rom 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Again all denominations (and that's what the JWs are they are not a cult) have some truth. But when getting down to the core their is always a lie, something that is not quite right. My problem with the JWs is that they are led by works and not the Spirit. Are they that are deceived, and love the Lord? “I” believe so, I know I was deceived about the Trinity. What else I hope to find out!
This I know the New Testament is Spirit, Spirit, Spirit.

” 18For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.”Hi Rejoycesing,
Do not let anyone tell you what you should believe about Jehovah's Witnesses. What you say about them being persecuted is true. Jesus was persecuted and so were his disciples. The bible foretold that followers of Jesus would be persecuted. Jehovah's Witnesses have their own translation of the bible for one reason because other translations take the name of God out of the bible. We feel Jehovah's name should remain in the bible. It was originally in the scriptures over 7000 times. Jehovah's Witnesses are good honest people that are seperating themselves from false religion like the bible tells us to do. They believe that the light gets brighter and continue to do research on the scriptures to make sure that what they teach is accurate and from God. Anyone who tells you any differently is either biased or has not taken the time to find out the reasons for the things Jehovahs Witnesses teach. Anyone who wishes to know the actual beliefs of the witnesses and what scriptures they base that belief on can go to http://www.watchtower.org.Another interesting point about the New World Translation. The book Truth in Translation studied this translation along with many other popular translations and found it to be the best and most accurate translation.
Hi,
Follow anyone, any denomination you wish but the only salvation known to man is in following Jesus.Acts 4
” 10Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.11This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
12Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. “
He was not a JW.
He is the “faithful witness” and also called the “faithful and true witness,” in scripture.
Who was he a witness of?Like the great cloud of witnesses mentioned in Hebrews 11, he was a witness for Jehovah, his Father.
Jesus was also not a supporter of heaven.net.

Hi. My name is David.
You are cult buster.
You're the one who refuses to have an actual conversation with me. Remember? You don't converse. You can't. You're far too busy, you say.
Do you even hear what you are saying?
Quote Even their own corrupt New World Translation contradicts their teachings.
Yes, you tried to show this in another thread, or at least stated it and then went on to quote a scripture that in no way supported this false belief. I often think you are brainwashed, in that you can't think. What I mean by that, is it's impossible for you to think. Let me say that anther way. You have problems with thinking.If you'd like to prove that the NWT contradicts itself, first, I'd go to this place and read some of it:

Even the Jehovah's Witnesses own corrupt “bible” contradicts them!
Jesus is The Alpha and the Omega, The First and Last
Here is the conclusive proof!
In Revelation 1:8. I am quoting from the Jehovah's Witness’s own Bible, and it reads, “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says Jehovah God.
Ask the Witness, “What does Alpha and Omega mean?” They'll reply, “The beginning and the end.”
Then ask them, “How many Alphas and Omegas can you have?” They'll answer, “Only one.” They will agree that there is only one Alpha and Omega.
Then turn to Revelation 22:12-13 which says, “Look I am coming quickly, and the reward I give is with me….I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”
Ask the Jehovah’s Witnesses, “Who do you say the Alpha and Omega is?” They will say, “Jehovah.” Now take a careful look. The Alpha and Omega in verse twelve is coming quickly. Let's see who is speaking in verse twelve.
Look at verse sixteen, “I Jesus, sent my angel to bear witness to you people of these things for the congregations. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright morning star.”
It is Jesus speaking in verse twelve. If there is any doubt go to verse 20 which says, “He that bears witness of these things says, 'Yes; I am coming quickly' Amen come Lord Jesus.” So it is clear that the Alpha and the Omega in verse twelve is Jesus.
Here is a strong proof text that Jesus is God because both Jehovah and Jesus are called the Alpha and the Omega.
Another pair of verses that are effective when used together are Isaiah 44:6 and Revelation 1:17-18.
Isaiah 44:6 says, “This is what Jehovah has said, 'The king of Israel and the Repurchaser of him, Jehovah of armies, I am the first and I am the last.'”
Ask the Jehovah’s Witnesses how many firsts and lasts can you have? It's obvious to anyone you can only have one first and one last.
Ask them, “Who is the first and the last?” They will say, “Jehovah.”
Now turn to Revelation 1:17-18 which says, “Do not be fearful; I am the First and the Last, and the living one; and I became dead but look! I am living forever.”
Who is speaking here? Obviously, it is Jesus for He died but is now alive, and guess what? He is called the First and the Last.
Here again we see Jesus is God.
2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4:4 And they shall turn away [their] ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.I think I've proven my point. Thankyou cult buster.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Feb. 11 2007,19:46) Hi cb,
Trinity is not sound doctrine.
Help yourself before helping others.
I agree with you Nick….See….I don't always need to be at odds with you (lol)
Matthew let, me save you a year. Nick will agree with just about everything you say about the trinity, except on the holy spirit (see that thread)
He will disagree with you on almost everything else. I was struck by the fact that many on this site believe that people will be living on the earth, but that no one ever goes to heaven. Nick believes this. Nick also believes that God tortures people in fire for eternity for the sins of a few years. And, he believes in speaking in questions and not answering them himself and in saying fluffy things that take pages to figure out. There.Hi david,
Yes I stir along the discussions to draw men out and to sound their teachings so we can all learn.BUT WHY CAN'T YOU JUST SOMETIMES ANSWER QUESTIONS DIRECTLY, SIMPLY, CLEARLY? That would have literally saved me months.
