In case you’re wondering how some religions are coping with the outbreak of COVID-19, just look to the Jehovah’s Witnesses to see how absurd reactions can get.
In a recent video featuring Governing Body member Stephen Lett, he absolutely delights in the disease because he sees it as a signal that Armageddon is imminent.
So the events unfolding around us are making clear, [more] than ever, that we’re living in the final part of the Last Days. Undoubtedly, the final part of the final part of the Last Days, shortly before the last day of the Last Days.
I guess we’ll see at the end, won’t we?
I’m not much of a spelar dontchaknow.
Well, dawgawn, MHG. I shore wouldnta knowed it if’n you hadn’tah sayed somethin.
Whether someone believes they must work to earn salvation or work to keep salvation (which is really the same thing), they are trusting in themselves and not Christ. Their eyes are closed to this truth and they're quick to condemn others who disagree with them. We're seeing it right here on this thread. We can speak the truth in love (planting) and pray for eyes and hearts to be opened (watering) and then leave it to the Holy Spirit who causes the growth.
” ... they stumbled at grace.” Some of the saddest words ever, BB.
Indeed, a sadness which has eternal scope.
You’re just plumb disputatious, aren’t you? You’d probably argue with a tree stump! Not me. I’m done with it.
As the movie character said in Tombstone, ‘Well bye.”
Curly Bill.
Post it.
Yes! Curly Bill ... couldn’t remember the villains name.
I’m surprised that soemone who posts so much scripture doesn’t know the passages where God compares Israel to an unfaithful wife, His unfaithful wife! Hootowl shouldn’t have to show you that. Do a Bible woird search on ‘Gomer’.
The Church, i.e. the Jesus following Jews that we call Christians ARE the new Israel, the continuation of the Old Israel - with gentiles grafted on.
The community of God has expanded from one family to a tribe to a nation to the entire world.
We can see in
2 Tim 2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
And 2 Thess 2:15 15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
THIS, Elsie, is how we reconcile all the variance - we hold fast to what was taught by the apostles, handed down from bishop to bishop in Apostolic succession remember that John 21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
But then - when the bjorn again believer (BAB) DOES sin - do you then say it was their flesh nature or their soul that sinned or do you say that that person sinned?
Ephesians 3:21 unto Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
The Church, i.e. the Jesus following Jews that we call Christians ARE the new Israel, the continuation of the Old Israel - with gentiles grafted on.
Well stated. I agree.
And you are stupid enough to believe you can mock and ridicule expecting your bullying tactics to result in anyone answering your kingdom now preterist bilge questions! LOL
MHG, MHG - you are sinning.
Or is it just your body that is sinning and your Spirits (of rum) are not sinning?
