I believe it is new. However, if I heard her correctly it seems like they still believe in that but when the unrighteous are resurrected and given a second chance, if they STILL refuse to follow Him THEN they will be annihilated if I understand correctly. Some they say though will never be resurrected, standing AGAINST what Jesus explicitly taught - that ALL will be resurrected. This is such terrible theology!
@@abideintheWord It's not new because we don't believe that at all. We believe only the unrighteous who did not know Christ will receive a resurrection of judgment ...they will be given a FIRST and only chance to obey Christ and if they obey they will receive everlasting life and if they disobey they would go into everlasting cutting off or everlasting destruction aka the lake of fire and sulphur. As far as those who knew Christ and disobeyed Willfully it's not for us to decide or affirm who will be resurrected its Jehovah and his son Jesus who will decide who will be resurrected and actually the Bible does indeed indicate that some will not be resurrected & all of our beliefs are based on solid scriptural evidence and reasoning that for the most part is grossly taken out of context , twisted , or misunderstood all together and people take it upon themselves to create a clever narrative and make videos to post on UA-cam spreading misinformation. The Bible mentions sins that are unforgivable such as blasphemy against the holy Spirit and grieving the holy Spirit ... It says that those who blaspheme against the holy Spirit are guilty of everlasting sin... So there would be no need for them to be resurrected since they have no chance of repentance or forgiveness... It also mentions souls that are in gehenna which in ancient times was a physical location of a trash dump where they threw dead animal carcasses and the bodies of criminals and trash and burned it in order to destroy it permanently.... Therefore it's very fitting that gehenna is not hellfire but it's actually symbolic for eternal destruction... Those who are pitched into gehenna are destroyed with no chance of resurrection. So therefore those that are in gehenna right now will not be resurrected... Likewise those who blaspheme against the holy Spirit wont be resurrected since they are guilty of everlasting sin... Or do you really believe that Adam and Eve and judas Iscariot will be resurrected...😅 You cannot take one scripture about Jesus saying "all those in the memorial tombs will hear my voice and come out" and then ignore the remaining evidence in other passages ... That's intellectually honest wouldn't you agree? This is the problem I find with most Christian UA-camrs is they are making a career not from teaching the gospel but simply debating other religious people and making videos discrediting or ''debunking'' people's faith.... We don't waste our time trying to debunk other people's beliefs because it's not loving and right now we are living in the most critical times in history and closer to the end than every before according to Jesus prophetic words in Matthew and revelation , we don't care to debate or debunk anyone.. we only care to spread truth about god and the Bible and to help as many as possible again to repentance and salvation by baptism and faith in Jesus sacrifice and faith in his resurrection. What people need right now in the world is comfort , hope and to know what the future holds as we face these uncertain and prophetic times where people are suffering terribly all around the world from wars , violence , poverty , mental health issues and more..... Gods kingdom under Jesus rulership will eliminate all causes of suffering and even death itself will be no more and that is the message we urgently preach a message of real hope based on God's promises in the Bible. Funny you don't see any JW videos on UA-cam debunking other People's religions... We would be slandered and hated and maybe even attacked by governments and opposers...... But people make inaccurate and shady one-sided manipulative videos disguised as some form of unraveling hidden information when they really are just grasping at straws ... And it's ok for them to do this and slander us and speak lies about us.... Just brilliant.
Its a terrible theology to believe that the wicked who are undeserving of resurrection will just be eternally destroyed and cease to exist while in the permanent sleep like stage of death instead of unjustly tormented in hell for all eternity for sins you committed for 20-70 years ? Makes sense .... what kind of loving God wants to torture people eternally for their sins when Romans say the wages sin pays is death... You're already paying for your sins when you die and Paul said that those who die are acquitted of their sin. It is inconceivable in the eyes of God and the scales of justice and by no means measures fairly when viewed within the standards of justice especially with regard to GODS perfect JUSTICE .... ETERNAL HELLFIRE IS A DEMONIC TEACHING WITH A PEGAN Origin AND something a god of love would NOT do OR even contemplate.... That is something a hateful and unjust sadistic God would do though like Satan the devil... The doctrine of hellfire has turned so many away from Christ and God... Because it depicts a vengeful and sadistic God who is unjust and cruel and wants to burn you alive forever..
Everyone? I thought they differentiated between those who had never learned about Jesus and those who should know better. Do they believe you as an apostate of the JW that you will also get a second chance?
If so, then what’s the point in following them at all? The absolute BEST thing you could do is to NOT become a JW and if their religion turns out to be right then you can change your mind after you die. This need to be the apologetic we use - avoid being a JW, because if they are wrong you’ve avoided hell, and if they are right you’ll get a second chance anyways!
@@abideintheWord i have absolutely no idea nor do i care. I actually got a sign from Jesus proving he is God and i was baptized in The Holy Spirit. Yeah. It struck me as odd. I was thinking whats the point? I can do what i want and afterwards get proof of God and to live a rich life in christ?! I feel bad for them. But does their beliefs condemn them when christ says he'll forgive you of anything?
@@John155-hq3hb I believe, if I read that correctly they seem to differentiate between those unrighteous who have never heard the word versus those who willingly and openly reject JW doctrine. Otherwise I don’t know how they would maintain any control over the people.
@@abideintheWord i just remember it going like this. God will NEVER punish anyone with eternal punishment. He is love. Like for them the nwt is the true word of God, so if youre like a catholic and just completely drop the ball you get a sec chance. From what i rem, even jw's get a sec chance. They were really nice. Allowed me to ask as many questions that i wanted. But they did tell me not to communicate with certain individuals, but im hard headed.
It should be called “third chance” because faith/repentance/baptism is the second chance according to the Bible, and if you ignore it, then you’re toast in flames.
Yes, just like the prodigal son was given a second chance, we also have a second chance here on Earth. Let’s not forfeit it! I should have included this verse in the vid! - “Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.”” Acts 17:30-31 NKJV
I actually have a brother who believes that and he is not even a Jehovah's witness. When I try to reason him out, he always bring up '' the millions of chinese '' who never heard of Jesus.
Thank you for this video, very helpful as I just had a conversation with a JW about this - and was very shocked. Do you have any ideas how I tell them that hell is real and not just a metaphor?
I talked to a satan’s witness and he said that the word torment of smoke of their torments in Revelation 14:11 can mean confinement because when Jesus said how the unforgiving servant was “taken to the tormenters” that is saying he went to jail. In other words jail was referred to torment and not actual torture. People from that organization refer to the lake of fire and Revelation 14:11 as symbolic because Revelation is a very symbolic book they say
Amush master, dis agree! No, the resurection will actually be the FIRST CHANCE FOR THE VAST MAJORITY OF HUMANITY TO ESCAPE FROM DEATH AND LEARN ABOUT JEHOVAH , JESUS AND HAVE THE OPORTUNUTY TO GAIN EVERLASTING LIFE.
The way they twisted the scriptures are actually insane!!! This is not of God at all, May the Lord open there eyes. Romans 6:7? To support there arguments? 😢 Doctrines of devil plain sight Keep up the good work brother. Love the videos
@@abideintheWord btw, i was evangelizing to a catholic woman and it seems to be that they believe the same thing that everyone is able to have a second chance and people from other religion who reject Jesus can be saved, i asked second chance? and she said second chance. the Catholics seems to believe the same thing. John 12:48 disproves this "He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day."
@@litanims890 yeah Catholics believe in purgatory. Besides that they have gravitated towards more universalist beliefs that everyone can be saved. It’s all heading towards the one-religion system.
Hello i had a Nde which was like in scripture. I got freed from my sins and got a white Stone from Jesus. But i started Smoking Again After some days and lost the Connection to the holy ghost in Spirit. Now i am in Depression since 3 months and i dont know what to do.
Just to add a little, here's what that article states: "The righteous include faithful people, such as Noah, Sarah, and Abraham. (Genesis 6:9; Hebrews 11:11; James 2:21) The unrighteous include those who failed to meet God’s standards but did not have the opportunity to learn and follow them. However, those who become so wicked that they are beyond reform will not be resurrected. When such ones die, they suffer permanent destruction with no hope of a return to life.-Matthew 23:33; Hebrews 10:26, 27." As the scriptures state, it's all those that God deems fit to be resurrected... Jesus spoke of Gehenna.. the bible speaks of the 2nd death. From these there is zero chance of redemption, these ones are not in God's "book of life". The fantastic thing is, as Hossain read in joh5, Jesus has been given authority to judge. So we don't have to be preoccupied with speculating who will or won't be ressurected. It's in Jesus' hands.
Umm, no that’s not what the Bible says. Why don’t you just believe the word? Jesus says ALL will be resurrected. The watchtower says NOT all will be resurrected. How can you follow an organization that speaks the very OPPOSITE of the word of Jesus? It’s despicable.
@abideintheWord now you are saying ALL will be resurrected? Aren't you saying the opposite in your video? We believe ALL who are in the grave, whom God deems worthy of a resurrection, will be resurrected. As in, those that are removed from God's book of remembrance, will not be resurrected.. they stay as dust. Like Adam. Psalm 69:28 "Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous." David here is asking God to remove their names from his "book". What is that book? Revelation 3:5 'He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels." Are ALL remembered? Apparently not. So ALL those in the graves that are resurrected, are obviously ALL those recorded in God's BOOK. The ones he chooses to remember.. That is reassuring as, as mentioned before, Jesus judges so we don't need to.
@abideintheWord so you believe "second chance" for EVERYONE? or do you think the resurrection is to awaken the dead to either give them life of throw them into fire? Do you believe this will happen at a set time? Martha knew Lazarus would be raised "on the last day". And as we see in john5.. "the "hour" is coming".. I hear so many beliefs regarding what happens when we die, that's why I'm asking. Simply put, Im asking what you think: when we die, are we resurrected instantly to judgement? Or is this a future event?
Notice she said after they are resurrected they then have the opportunity to follow the law that I guess some secret scroll will be then opened? It’s amazing that people can be so blind to Gods word! Yet think they understand it! Pray for her people! Perhaps God will bring a man into her life that will correct her error, and lead her to the real gospel!
Hi. It means to love God with all your heart mind soul and strength. Everything you do have and are is ordered around Christ. You’re seeking the Kingdom of God which is His rule and authority and power here on earth. And His righteousness is holiness. God bless.
I would say this teaching is unheard of but even some actual christians believe in Jesus will come but those who aren't "ready" will not be taken and have to be matyred to be saved, which also sounds like a second chance.
JW belief of Rom.6:7- where, freed from sin is changed to " acquitted of his sin" in the New world translation- this is to promote the doctrine of sins paid at death instead of (Jesus sacrifice removing sin)/ being dead to sinning, no longer a slave to sin. If you look at the context of these verses, you see the JW cherry picking, but also the manipulation of their translation. There are so many manipulated verses in that book.
I noticed that. I wonder if their version was recently changed to accommodate this new doctrine of sins being paid for at death. What’s interesting is death becomes the savior which pays for their sins instead of Jesus! Straight up blasphemy!
They have gone completely off the rails. With this theology it’s like they aren’t even really trying to be biblical anymore. At least it seemed like they used to attempt to biblical in some way, no matter how much they twisted the Scriptures. Now it seems like they are saying they don’t even care it’s that bad.
I tell you what, I can personally tell you something is going on with JW’s. My wife and I recently spoke to some JW’s and it was a BIZARRE convo to say the least. They pulled out Romans 7 and said they were the Romans 7 wretch and they sin all the time and not to judge them! No joke. I was like wait, am I talking to free-gracers? Something strange is going on.
@@abideintheWord yes, I definitely agree. I was in for 40 years and disassociated a couple years ago because I had my eyes opened to bad theology and policies. I feel that this is a spiritual thing, and there is a spirit of deception leading the organization. It has blinded the eyes so they can’t see it. As you know, it’s almost impossible to open their eyes, the Holy Spirit has to do it. Thanks for planting biblical seeds… hopefully you can help bring someone to the true Lord Jesus.
Yeah that seems to be exactly what they do - make something crazy up, and then try to scramble on the back-end to find Scriptural support for their wacky idea.
Jehovah's Witnesses believe that only the 144,000 are born again and will be in heaven. How do they reconcile that belief with Christ's desire for future believers to be with him where he is? (John 17:24) The future believers fall into a specific group. KJV John 17:24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. That was a little flock and the larger one was to fulfill God’s command to turn the earth into a paradise. Now why do people ignore very clear scriptures that state man will reside on the earth forever with no death> Who are they??? KJV Psalm 37:11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. 29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever. KJV Psalm 37:29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever. KJV Proverbs 2:21 For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it. NIV Matthew 5:5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. KJV Matthew 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. KJV Revelation 212-4 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. Not anyone from heaven returning to earth as they are perfect once raised to heaven. Not those on earth, KJV Revelation 22:1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. Those on earth who are faithful to the end of the 1000 years when Satan is let lose, gain everlasting life ON earth. Those in heaven already have it IN heaven. Note: above the “healing” takes time, so not speaking of anyone in heaven
I have no idea what you’re talking about. I do believe we will reside here on earth with God and His Kingdom will be fully established here on earth. Who told you Christians don’t believe that? I do. I just see anywhere in Scripture where it will ONLY be this election group of 144,000 is all.
Hello there , my questions dont have much to do with this video in particular , but rather a previous one , I have been trying to take my faith more seriously ober the past few months and my questions pertain to one of your videos which topic was basically worldliness . I have been listening to serveral sermons and various pastors about this spesific issue , but the answer always seems kind of vague , almost as if they only want to state what they think is the problem , but yet they leave out the solution even though its more complicated when you actually think about it . I am still in school so many of these things I come across directly and some indirectly , I'm just going to name like a bunch of things I'm confused about , please I'm not trying to be like an annoyance I am just tring to seek some more guidance .First off , videogames , I understand people saying that its worldly to play too much videogames and just forget about all your other responsibilities , but what if you dont make it an idol and just use it as a way to relax and chill, for example after an exhausting day afyer studying and striving for excellence , you know , like the disciples sometimes fished probably just to rest for a few moments. But then also the content it contains , this goes for movies also , I understamd that you shouldnt watch or play things that make you commit sin in real life , but like does that mean I should just toss the TV out all together , because sometimes I find these stories to be quite inspiring and sometimes its like they contain "echoes" of the bible , once again , some pastors say that its ok but some say not thats why I am asking and yes I am familiar with psalm verse that states that you should put no wicked things in front of your eyes , but what if the thing or story in front of you shows for example the wicked being conquered by the good , how could that possibly be bad? . Secondly but this is also intertwined with the previous subject , am I not to allowed to enjoy some sports or should I also completely abstain from it , once again , I understand that if you watch too much its idolatrous and a sin , but arent you allowed at all? Thirdly , NDE'S , these ofyen confuse me because so many people state they have had NDE'S but sometimes , it doesnt allign with scripture , im not saying all of them , because some of them sound genuine , but does that mean that because they got a second chance to fix their lives that I will too? Fourthly and most importantly , salvation , I heard about this statistic according to Howard Pittman , who funnily enough was enlightened about this during an NDE , said that about like 2,9 percent or something like that of all people will go to heaven , I know that it is said that you should strive hard for the path is narrow and few there be that will find it , but really , if that number is true , how could possibly experience peace on this earth , I know that I must fear the Lord and I do , but this makes my fear so much more than I think my love is for him , also I am scared that I am commiting sin , without knowing it and I know that in 1 of you videos you said that you must instantly turn away from sin because it is said that you must go and sin no more , but what if what I deem to be okay , is sin without me knowing it? And yes I read various religious books and obviously the Bible to educate myself , but what if I slip? Thank you for reading all this , I really appreciate it.
Hi! First, have you watched this video? - The #1 Reason Most Christians Will Lose Their Salvation ua-cam.com/video/-4McK-6MGgs/v-deo.html Please check this out and then if you still have any questions let me know.
Yes , I have watched that video and it has answered some of my questions , but not all , especially the salvation part, but still thank you for the clarity.
King James Version John 5:28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. Maybe I missed it, but who to you are the "unrighteous", or as worded here, "those that have done evil"? It says they are also ressurected... is this to be judged and killed straight away?
@abideintheWord with the 1000 years. I agree with you about the spiritual death/ physical death aspect of much of scripture. Have you considered how death entered into the world? Through the "one man", right? Rom5:12 Death through sin. Could it be we are "dead" until Adamic sin is completely removed from us? As in, when the lamb leads the faithful to "waters of life", (rev7), could that refer to the removal of sin over time? I find the thought in rev20, where there is a contrast between those who rule in the kingdom, with those who are subjects of the kingdom, really interesting. Byington Revelation 20:5 "The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years are finished. This is the first resurrection" If the ones of the "first resurrection" instantly "come to life", and rule for 1000 years, what does it mean to you that the other group is finally "alive" at the end of the millennium? Incidentally, exactly the same time that Jesus removes death forever. 1cor15:24-28.
@@FrankLee-gq8yc I’m sorry, but everything you say just seems like speculation. You say things like “could it be…?” Why speculate when the word of God is so UNBELIEVABLY clear? Look - “Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.” I Corinthians 6:9-11 NKJV Sorry, you can’t around this, no matter how hard the watchtower tries. It will fail, because it does not have the word of God on its side. It speaks AGAINST the Bible. Here too! I mean honestly how clear could this possibly be for you? “But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them.” Ephesians 5:3-7 NKJV I mean Paul even says let NO ONE DECEIVE YOU WITH EMPTY WORDS - you know, like speculating about having a second chance when the Bible doesn’t say this.
@abideintheWord when i say, "could it be?", it's in reference to have you yourself considered. Absolutely the wicked will not inherit the kingdom. Repentance and turning to Christ are absolutely vital... but what if I am a 10 year old Afghan boy who has never heard of Christ and a drone strike has just taken my life? Is there no hope? Or "could it be", that God is merciful and gracious and remembers me in the resurrection? Then, if so, am I judged on my 10 years of life prior? Or what I do with my brand new, knowledge of Christ?
Sir, if you are objecting to his statement that satan’s witnesses believe in second chance theology, you are wrong, I talked to one of them yesterday and without even asking him if he believes in it, he mentioned it on his own. Come out of their heresy if you are in them.
Man this is embarrassing, this guy didn't even bother to do his proper research on what we believe. We don't believe that unrighteous believers who knew Christ get resurrected are given a second chance to obey Christ 😂😂😂😂 The resurrection of the unrighteous only applies to those who did NOT have the opportunity to learn about or obey Christ.. even those in ancient times , they will be resurrected back to life on earth and be taught about Jesus and given an opportunity to obey and they will be judged based on what they do from that moment forward ... If they disobey then they are cut off forever with no chance of resurrection.... If they obey the receive everlasting life....
Nope! I gave you your VERY OWN watchtower sources and quoted them! Did you even watch? They only said MANY of those who’ll be people who never heard of Christ, not all.
Very briefly, jesus in hesven will raise those in union with him, the anointed who have been born again from physical beings to hesven as spiritual beings . Thus jesus is King. Those born again , in union with Jesus , spuritual beings are corulers of the hesvely aspect of the kingdom. Then jesus and his govt will , over a 1000 years resurect the dead ( All OF THOSE IN THE MEMORIAL TOMBS) into the kibgdom, THAT is where the physical humanity both rightous and unrightous will live. But those unrightous will be be given the FIRST chance they had to lesrn of the true God and his son jesus. At the end of 1000 when human society, the earth have been restored to jehovahx stsndards, jesus will return the (made new) crestion back to his father jrhovah
First of all, the Bible doesn’t say any of what you just said. Second of all, you disagree with the Watchtower! Your very own guide! The source I quoted was directly from the JW website which said for MANY it will be their first time, not for ALL!
They told me the unrighteous would be anniliated. Gone. No chances. Is this new?
I believe it is new. However, if I heard her correctly it seems like they still believe in that but when the unrighteous are resurrected and given a second chance, if they STILL refuse to follow Him THEN they will be annihilated if I understand correctly.

It is a new teaching from the Jehovah's witness cult.
@@abideintheWord It's not new because we don't believe that at all.

Yes, just like the prodigal son was given a second chance, we also have a second chance here on Earth. Let’s not forfeit it!
I should have included this verse in the vid! -
“Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.””
Acts 17:30-31 NKJV
Notice how the verse says ALL men EVERYWHERE.
I actually have a brother who believes that and he is not even a Jehovah's witness. When I try to reason him out, he always bring up '' the millions of chinese '' who never heard of Jesus.
Thank you for this video, very helpful as I just had a conversation with a JW about this - and was very shocked. Do you have any ideas how I tell them that hell is real and not just a metaphor?
Praise God! I would just show them Bible verses. If they won’t accept the word of God, there isn’t much you can do. Just shake the dust and move on.
I talked to a satan’s witness and he said that the word torment of smoke of their torments in Revelation 14:11 can mean confinement because when Jesus said how the unforgiving servant was “taken to the tormenters” that is saying he went to jail. In other words jail was referred to torment and not actual torture. People from that organization refer to the lake of fire and Revelation 14:11 as symbolic because Revelation is a very symbolic book they say
Smh. Unbelievable. Isn’t it interesting Catholics use that same verse about being handed over to the tormentors to justify the doctrine of purgatory.
Amush master, dis agree! No, the resurection will actually be the FIRST CHANCE FOR THE VAST MAJORITY OF HUMANITY TO ESCAPE FROM DEATH AND LEARN ABOUT JEHOVAH , JESUS AND HAVE THE OPORTUNUTY TO GAIN EVERLASTING LIFE.
Wait, you disagree with the JW website?
Amen brother! Good work 👍🏿
The way they twisted the scriptures are actually insane!!! This is not of God at all, May the Lord open there eyes. Romans 6:7? To support there arguments? 😢 Doctrines of devil plain sight
Keep up the good work brother. Love the videos
Yeah, it’s really really bad theology. It’s like they just aren’t even trying anymore. Something strange is happening in the Watchtower!
@@abideintheWord btw, i was evangelizing to a catholic woman and it seems to be that they believe the same thing that everyone is able to have a second chance and people from other religion who reject Jesus can be saved, i asked second chance? and she said second chance. the Catholics seems to believe the same thing.
John 12:48 disproves this
"He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day."
@@litanims890 yeah Catholics believe in purgatory. Besides that they have gravitated towards more universalist beliefs that everyone can be saved. It’s all heading towards the one-religion system.
Hello i had a Nde which was like in scripture. I got freed from my sins and got a white Stone from Jesus. But i started Smoking Again After some days and lost the Connection to the holy ghost in Spirit. Now i am in Depression since 3 months and i dont know what to do.
Repent.
Just to add a little, here's what that article states:
"The righteous include faithful people, such as Noah, Sarah, and Abraham. (Genesis 6:9; Hebrews 11:11; James 2:21) The unrighteous include those who failed to meet God’s standards but did not have the opportunity to learn and follow them.
However, those who become so wicked that they are beyond reform will not be resurrected. When such ones die, they suffer permanent destruction with no hope of a return to life.-Matthew 23:33; Hebrews 10:26, 27."
As the scriptures state, it's all those that God deems fit to be resurrected... Jesus spoke of Gehenna.. the bible speaks of the 2nd death. From these there is zero chance of redemption, these ones are not in God's "book of life".
The fantastic thing is, as Hossain read in joh5, Jesus has been given authority to judge. So we don't have to be preoccupied with speculating who will or won't be ressurected. It's in Jesus' hands.
Umm, no that’s not what the Bible says. Why don’t you just believe the word? Jesus says ALL will be resurrected. The watchtower says NOT all will be resurrected. How can you follow an organization that speaks the very OPPOSITE of the word of Jesus? It’s despicable.
@abideintheWord now you are saying ALL will be resurrected?
Aren't you saying the opposite in your video?
We believe ALL who are in the grave, whom God deems worthy of a resurrection, will be resurrected.
As in, those that are removed from God's book of remembrance, will not be resurrected.. they stay as dust.
Like Adam.
Psalm 69:28
"Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous."
David here is asking God to remove their names from his "book".
What is that book?
Revelation 3:5
'He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels."
Are ALL remembered? Apparently not. So ALL those in the graves that are resurrected, are obviously ALL those recorded in God's BOOK. The ones he chooses to remember..
That is reassuring as, as mentioned before, Jesus judges so we don't need to.
@@FrankLee-gq8yc no, Jesus says ALL (no exception) will be resurrected. Believe Jesus, He knows more than the watchtower!
@abideintheWord so you believe "second chance" for EVERYONE?
or do you think the resurrection is to awaken the dead to either give them life of throw them into fire?
Do you believe this will happen at a set time? Martha knew Lazarus would be raised "on the last day". And as we see in john5.. "the "hour" is coming"..
I hear so many beliefs regarding what happens when we die, that's why I'm asking.
Simply put, Im asking what you think: when we die, are we resurrected instantly to judgement? Or is this a future event?
@@FrankLee-gq8yc did you even watch the video?
This is true. I was a born in JW. This seems to be a relatively new teaching.
Notice she said after they are resurrected they then have the opportunity to follow the law that I guess some secret scroll will be then opened? It’s amazing that people can be so blind to Gods word! Yet think they understand it! Pray for her people! Perhaps God will bring a man into her life that will correct her error, and lead her to the real gospel!
Hi Adam. Can you explain mathew 6:33? What does it mean to first seek kingdom of god and his righteousness? How does it look in practical sense?
Hi. It means to love God with all your heart mind soul and strength. Everything you do have and are is ordered around Christ. You’re seeking the Kingdom of God which is His rule and authority and power here on earth. And His righteousness is holiness. God bless.
@@abideintheWord Adam thank you so much for the clarity, God bless.
I would say this teaching is unheard of but even some actual christians believe in Jesus will come but those who aren't "ready" will not be taken and have to be matyred to be saved, which also sounds like a second chance.
Whether it’s purgatory or some other man-made doctrine, men seem to find new ways of doing away with the Scriptures and the fear of God.
JW belief of Rom.6:7- where, freed from sin is changed to
" acquitted of his sin" in the New world translation- this is to promote the doctrine of sins paid at death instead of (Jesus sacrifice removing sin)/ being dead to sinning, no longer a slave to sin. If you look at the context of these verses, you see the JW cherry picking, but also the manipulation of their translation.
There are so many manipulated verses in that book.
I noticed that. I wonder if their version was recently changed to accommodate this new doctrine of sins being paid for at death. What’s interesting is death becomes the savior which pays for their sins instead of Jesus! Straight up blasphemy!
@@abideintheWordexactly. Then I guess the question that comes from that is, “ why did Jesus have to die then?”
They have gone completely off the rails. With this theology it’s like they aren’t even really trying to be biblical anymore. At least it seemed like they used to attempt to biblical in some way, no matter how much they twisted the Scriptures. Now it seems like they are saying they don’t even care it’s that bad.
I tell you what, I can personally tell you something is going on with JW’s. My wife and I recently spoke to some JW’s and it was a BIZARRE convo to say the least. They pulled out Romans 7 and said they were the Romans 7 wretch and they sin all the time and not to judge them! No joke. I was like wait, am I talking to free-gracers? Something strange is going on.
@@abideintheWord yes, I definitely agree. I was in for 40 years and disassociated a couple years ago because I had my eyes opened to bad theology and policies.
I feel that this is a spiritual thing, and there is a spirit of deception leading the organization. It has blinded the eyes so they can’t see it. As you know, it’s almost impossible to open their eyes, the Holy Spirit has to do it.
Thanks for planting biblical seeds… hopefully you can help bring someone to the true Lord Jesus.
Time to find 'another scripture' that instructs where all these resurrected people are going to live/fit ??
Yeah that seems to be exactly what they do - make something crazy up, and then try to scramble on the back-end to find Scriptural support for their wacky idea.
Jehovah's Witnesses believe that only the 144,000 are born again and will be in heaven. How do they reconcile that belief with Christ's desire for future believers to be with him where he is? (John 17:24)
The future believers fall into a specific group.
KJV John 17:24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
That was a little flock and the larger one was to fulfill God’s command to turn the earth into a paradise.
Now why do people ignore very clear scriptures that state man will reside on the earth forever with no death> Who are they???
KJV Psalm 37:11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. 29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
KJV Psalm 37:29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
KJV Proverbs 2:21 For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
NIV Matthew 5:5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
KJV Matthew 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
KJV Revelation 212-4 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
Not anyone from heaven returning to earth as they are perfect once raised to heaven. Not those on earth,
KJV Revelation 22:1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
Those on earth who are faithful to the end of the 1000 years when Satan is let lose, gain everlasting life ON earth. Those in heaven already have it IN heaven.
Note: above the “healing” takes time, so not speaking of anyone in heaven
I have no idea what you’re talking about. I do believe we will reside here on earth with God and His Kingdom will be fully established here on earth. Who told you Christians don’t believe that? I do. I just see anywhere in Scripture where it will ONLY be this election group of 144,000 is all.
New age crap.
Hello there , my questions dont have much to do with this video in particular , but rather a previous one , I have been trying to take my faith more seriously ober the past few months and my questions pertain to one of your videos which topic was basically worldliness . I have been listening to serveral sermons and various pastors about this spesific issue , but the answer always seems kind of vague , almost as if they only want to state what they think is the problem , but yet they leave out the solution even though its more complicated when you actually think about it . I am still in school so many of these things I come across directly and some indirectly , I'm just going to name like a bunch of things I'm confused about , please I'm not trying to be like an annoyance I am just tring to seek some more guidance .First off , videogames , I understand people saying that its worldly to play too much videogames and just forget about all your other responsibilities , but what if you dont make it an idol and just use it as a way to relax and chill, for example after an exhausting day afyer studying and striving for excellence , you know , like the disciples sometimes fished probably just to rest for a few moments. But then also the content it contains , this goes for movies also , I understamd that you shouldnt watch or play things that make you commit sin in real life , but like does that mean I should just toss the TV out all together , because sometimes I find these stories to be quite inspiring and sometimes its like they contain "echoes" of the bible , once again , some pastors say that its ok but some say not thats why I am asking and yes I am familiar with psalm verse that states that you should put no wicked things in front of your eyes , but what if the thing or story in front of you shows for example the wicked being conquered by the good , how could that possibly be bad? . Secondly but this is also intertwined with the previous subject , am I not to allowed to enjoy some sports or should I also completely abstain from it , once again , I understand that if you watch too much its idolatrous and a sin , but arent you allowed at all?
Thirdly , NDE'S , these ofyen confuse me because so many people state they have had NDE'S but sometimes , it doesnt allign with scripture , im not saying all of them , because some of them sound genuine , but does that mean that because they got a second chance to fix their lives that I will too?
Fourthly and most importantly , salvation , I heard about this statistic according to Howard Pittman , who funnily enough was enlightened about this during an NDE , said that about like 2,9 percent or something like that of all people will go to heaven , I know that it is said that you should strive hard for the path is narrow and few there be that will find it , but really , if that number is true , how could possibly experience peace on this earth , I know that I must fear the Lord and I do , but this makes my fear so much more than I think my love is for him , also I am scared that I am commiting sin , without knowing it and I know that in 1 of you videos you said that you must instantly turn away from sin because it is said that you must go and sin no more , but what if what I deem to be okay , is sin without me knowing it? And yes I read various religious books and obviously the Bible to educate myself , but what if I slip?
Thank you for reading all this , I really appreciate it.
Hi! First, have you watched this video? -
The #1 Reason Most Christians Will Lose Their Salvation
ua-cam.com/video/-4McK-6MGgs/v-deo.html
Please check this out and then if you still have any questions let me know.
Yes , I have watched that video and it has answered some of my questions , but not all , especially the salvation part, but still thank you for the clarity.
King James Version
John 5:28
Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
Maybe I missed it, but who to you are the "unrighteous", or as worded here, "those that have done evil"?
It says they are also ressurected... is this to be judged and killed straight away?
Where does it say they are going to wait and be given 1,000 years to obey the watchtower’s teachings before they are killed?
You’ll need to show me the verse.
@abideintheWord with the 1000 years. I agree with you about the spiritual death/ physical death aspect of much of scripture.
Have you considered how death entered into the world? Through the "one man", right? Rom5:12
Death through sin.
Could it be we are "dead" until Adamic sin is completely removed from us? As in, when the lamb leads the faithful to "waters of life", (rev7),
could that refer to the removal of sin over time?
I find the thought in rev20, where there is a contrast between those who rule in the kingdom, with those who are subjects of the kingdom, really interesting.
Byington
Revelation 20:5
"The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years are finished. This is the first resurrection"
If the ones of the "first resurrection" instantly "come to life", and rule for 1000 years, what does it mean to you that the other group is finally "alive" at the end of the millennium? Incidentally, exactly the same time that Jesus removes death forever. 1cor15:24-28.
@@FrankLee-gq8yc I’m sorry, but everything you say just seems like speculation. You say things like “could it be…?” Why speculate when the word of God is so UNBELIEVABLY clear? Look -
“Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.”
I Corinthians 6:9-11 NKJV
Sorry, you can’t around this, no matter how hard the watchtower tries. It will fail, because it does not have the word of God on its side. It speaks AGAINST the Bible. Here too! I mean honestly how clear could this possibly be for you?
“But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them.”
Ephesians 5:3-7 NKJV
I mean Paul even says let NO ONE DECEIVE YOU WITH EMPTY WORDS - you know, like speculating about having a second chance when the Bible doesn’t say this.
@abideintheWord when i say, "could it be?", it's in reference to have you yourself considered.
Absolutely the wicked will not inherit the kingdom. Repentance and turning to Christ are absolutely vital... but what if I am a 10 year old Afghan boy who has never heard of Christ and a drone strike has just taken my life?
Is there no hope?
Or "could it be", that God is merciful and gracious and remembers me in the resurrection?
Then, if so, am I judged on my 10 years of life prior? Or what I do with my brand new, knowledge of Christ?
Gails journsl. You hesrd it WRONG
Huh?
What is Gail’s journal? Also, I quoted 2 different JW sources. How was I wrong?
Sir, if you are objecting to his statement that satan’s witnesses believe in second chance theology, you are wrong, I talked to one of them yesterday and without even asking him if he believes in it, he mentioned it on his own. Come out of their heresy if you are in them.
Man this is embarrassing, this guy didn't even bother to do his proper research on what we believe.
We don't believe that unrighteous believers who knew Christ get resurrected are given a second chance to obey Christ 😂😂😂😂
The resurrection of the unrighteous only applies to those who did NOT have the opportunity to learn about or obey Christ.. even those in ancient times , they will be resurrected back to life on earth and be taught about Jesus and given an opportunity to obey and they will be judged based on what they do from that moment forward ... If they disobey then they are cut off forever with no chance of resurrection.... If they obey the receive everlasting life....
Nope! I gave you your VERY OWN watchtower sources and quoted them! Did you even watch? They only said MANY of those who’ll be people who never heard of Christ, not all.
You sound very arrogant too.
You are very false religion
Very briefly, jesus in hesven will raise those in union with him, the anointed who have been born again from physical beings to hesven as spiritual beings . Thus jesus is King. Those born again , in union with Jesus , spuritual beings are corulers of the hesvely aspect of the kingdom. Then jesus and his govt will , over a 1000 years resurect the dead ( All OF THOSE IN THE MEMORIAL TOMBS) into the kibgdom, THAT is where the physical humanity both rightous and unrightous will live. But those unrightous will be be given the FIRST chance they had to lesrn of the true God and his son jesus. At the end of 1000 when human society, the earth have been restored to jehovahx stsndards, jesus will return the (made new) crestion back to his father jrhovah
First of all, the Bible doesn’t say any of what you just said. Second of all, you disagree with the Watchtower! Your very own guide! The source I quoted was directly from the JW website which said for MANY it will be their first time, not for ALL!
Ummm... no randall this isn't at all correct
