Jehovah’s Witnesses Leader: COVID-19 Signals the “Last Day of the Last Days” rapture
Patheos ^ | 20 march | He meant mehta

Posted on 02/27/2021 1:36:09 PM PST by Cronos

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.

MHG, MHG - you are sinning.

Or is it just your body that is sinning and your Spirits (of rum) are not sinning?

Let's repeat again -- you wrote There is an aspect of the Born Again Believer which CANNOT sin because the seed of God-life remains in ABIDES IN that aspect. That aspect of the Born Again is their spirit, not their flesh nature, their spirit.

You are saying that you, a Bjorn AGain Belieber (BAB) do not sin - only your body sins.

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?


What’s even worse than MHGinTN and his buddies not being able to clarify the act of sinning, is that no matter what a “Born Againer” does (in terms of sinning), they are all still going to heaven. Murder, rape, adultry, taking the Lord’s name in vain, worshipping idols? Doesn’t matter. Sin is sin and they’re all going to heaven (but with a few less jewels in their crown?

Maybe just his fleshy little pinky does the sinning so it’s no problem?

Indeed they are mocking. The question on sin and the spirit within a believer has been answered by plenty of posts. They just didn’t like the answer ... taken right from Scripture, no less.

Typical of your cultish ilk, you fabricate a falsehood by adding to the words of soemone what you want to attack. How would your White queen respond?

I have better things on my schedule today, like cleaning the cat boxes and straightening the kitchen. Time to leave the mocking cultists to their father’s business.

I don’t blame you. I have to watch some paint dry now.

Once the believers are gone from the thread, the regularly scheduled program will resume between the two: Clash of the Cults.

The thing is there are also cases when the BAB is then told “they were never Bjorn Again at all”

Maybe like this...

21Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

iscool..."it will have been destroyed"

Ephesians 3:21 unto Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

That's a rebuttal???

Ya know, I don't care what you guys believe...And it's not my job to change your mind...I just do a little planting and watering once in a while...

The lies and deception that you guys put forth are clearly not due to ignorance, it's intentional...Deception...It occurs to me that you guys influence other people with your biblical knowledge so this needs to be said...

We post scripture not to shame you but to educate you in the truth of the scriptures where you clearly are lacking...When we post scripture that contradicts or flat out proves you are wrong and you refuse to attempt to refute or rebutt the scripture or even acknowledge the scripture was posted we know you have an agenda...So these posts are good so others you may have influential power over can see how shallow and lacking your biblical knowledge is and to disregard any thing you have to say on the matter...

2Pe_3:10  But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
2Pe_3:12  Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

“When we post scripture that contradicts or flat out proves you are wrong and you refuse to attempt to refute or rebutt the scripture or even acknowledge the scripture was posted we know you have an agenda...”

Absolutely, Iscool. The many Scriptures posted regarding the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in believers is just overlooked and another post mis-characterizing the points argued is again made. Anyone reading the thread can see what’s going on. Further, the one who posted the thread against the JWs is seen as an ally BY a JW! So much for defending one’s beliefs.

The thing is, you don’t believe in the Trinity, do you?

We believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible;
And in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only begotten Son of God,
begotten from the Father before all ages,
light from light,
true God from true God,
begotten not made,
of one substance with the Father,
through Whom all things came into existence,
Who because of us men and because of our salvation came down from the heavens,
and was incarnate from the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary
and became man,
and was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate,
and suffered and was buried,
and rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures
and ascended to heaven, and sits on the right hand of the Father,
and will come again with glory to judge living and dead,
of Whose kingdom there will be no end;
And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and life-giver,
Who proceeds from the Father,
Who with the Father and the Son is together worshipped and together glorified,
Who spoke through the prophets;

Iscool,why do you deny the Trinity?

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.


And you and your religion claim the epistles that are written are the written bible but the traditions that were unwritten is revelation other than the bible that was passed on by word of mouth until hundreds of years ago when supposedly someone in your religion started writing them down, and then somehow added to them as the Centuries passed by...

So here Paul is telling us that the written words (bible) are a matter of tradition, put to paper...What he's really telling us is to hold on to that knowledge whether someone is reading it from a bible or citing it from memory...That happens a lot in non Catholic churches...Preachers who are versed in the bible will get up there and preach the bible without having to read their sermon like the Catholics do...

But the point is, if we believe the Catholic farce that we are told to believe the written epistles OR the spoken epistles which must be different that the written epistles, we are given a choice what to hold fast to...We can reject all or even some of the written epistle (bible) and accept the Catholic ramblings that have no history...No evidence...Oddly tho, we cannot reject the spoken traditions that have no history or evidence...

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.

So Jesus DID a lot of things that were not written down but did he say anything of import to us that did not get written down???

Peter and John and the rest remembered ALL things Jesus did and said...

2Pe_1:15  Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.
Joh_14:26  But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

The apostles remembered EVERYTHING Jesus said but didn't write some of the important stuff down???

Your religions claim is that some of this stuff that was not written down was some serious doctrinal stuff that needed to get passed on orally by your religion...No one thought to write it down...Apparently things like Mary is actually the mother of God and she didn't have any more kids regardless of what the written traditions claim etc...But a pipe wrench fell into your gearbox when the same apostle wrote:

1Jn_5:13  These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

It didn't matter to John what else Jesus did, everything Jesus said that was required for us to know for our salvation was written down by John the apostle in the written tradition (bible)...

You deceiver, you...

And I suppose that your church has knowledge of these unwritten things; right?
