Do you ever doubt your ability to answer bigger than life questions like, “Why do I exist? What is the purpose of life? Can I know God? If so, how? Are miracles possible?” And if God exists what’s with all the evil in the world? Do questions like these ever nag at you? If so, you’ve come to the right channel. I too am a fellow wonderer who thinks about stuff like this.
I (Bobby Conway) am the founder and host of the rapidly-growing ministry, The One Minute Apologist, which is found on UA-cam and at oneminuteapologist.com. Here I provide quick, credible answers to apologetic questions that resource people with a hunger to defend their Christian faith. These videos will often include interviews. I’ve had the privilege of interviewing some of the world's leading Christian apologists. Among them are: William Lane Craig, Josh McDowell, Hank Hanegraaff, JP Moreland, Norman Geisler, Frank Turek, and many more.

After 40 years as a Jehovah’s Witness, I had an encounter with Jesus, He set me free in a day. Also I was shown I had been under a spirit of fear. Now I am a born again child of God.
Do you still beleave in paradise on.EARTH.still,,,, ???
@@chrisdurant4627 Not as the JW believe. Jesus said where I am you may also be. A new heaven and earth will combine.

Praise God!!
My transformation was similar! Almost 40 years and 6th generation born in
What makes a jehovahs witness organization a cult is that, they Baptise you into a organization, not in the name of the father and son and holy spirit, and they force you through, disfellowship and fear guilt, and obligations, to follow there commands, which they call policies, as doctrines, and cherry pick and twist scriptures to do that, add to and take out words in the Bible, to fit there policies and doctrines, I know because I'm a exjw, who's been in mentality, and now is out mentality. By examining the scriptures carefully like the boereans, as well as researching the organization.
THE MOST important issue is: The FINISHED work of the Lord Jesus Christ. ALL cults deny THAT truth.
The Bible debunks itself. Free yourself of that pack of lies!

Great point! “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6).

I enjoy these types of topics being a former J-Dub. But, I must offer some criticism. First, it's not 'Jehovah Witness' it's 'Jehovahs Witnesses'. Second, we were trained to absolutely shut down as soon as you referred to us as a cult. That will end the the conversation and you'll get nowhere. Third, if one comes to your door to spread their beliefs, you WILL NOT get anywhere arguing scripture or traditional Christian beliefs. If they feel they've been bested through history or theology, again they'll shut down. You'll be placed on a do not call list and they won't come back. The only Jehovahs Witnesses you'll get a point across to are those who already have question and one foot out the door. The pioneers and door knockers are not your target audience.

Jehovahs witnesses!???
"Bested by history or theology...you'll be placed on a do not call list"....
Seriously?
In 20 years as a JW I have never seen this occur.
But absolutely, we are not out there trying to force anyone to believe anything. We just share what we believe, If someone is not interested we respect that and move on. No big deal.
You're making it way more dramatic than it needs to be.
My house gets blacklisted every few years because my Dad speaks the gospel to them. I remembered the last interaction was something like "do you want heaven on earth?" And my dad responded "didn't Jesus say this earth shall pass away and there will be a new heaven and a new earth?"
They can't have the JW Borg hearing the real Gospel.
Our house was avoided several years. They know some of their people might listen to the TRUTH
@@Over-for-now - Yeah, our house was blacklisted when my husband and I answered the door together. They couldn't get away fast enough.
Florida, no Jesus didn't say that. Ecclesiastes 1:4 says " the earth remains forever "
@ucanliv4ever I was mistaken, Revelation 21 has John writing "1 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,”[a] for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea."
Followed by
"5 He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true." 6 He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life."
Which honestly is more to Jesus's style of showing actions rather than saying what he's going to do. And not to be mean, but Jesus didn't say or write that in Ecclesiastes (outside of inspired by God aspect). The author of Ecclesiastes isn't fully named (probably a very old Solomon), but it was a child of David at that current moment in time, not in the long-term lineage aspect. Especially prevalent given the amount of the info is a reflection on the current situation and not typically pointing to the future like most Old Testament verses about Jesus. But it is actually nice to be reminded of that chapter given my own personal problems have me needing guidance and feeling Qohelet's struggles. I don't mind talking, like I said, my family likes to inform people of the Bible and be blacklisted than be mean like most.
Thank you Michael fir your beautiful prayer for me , my children and all who really are for the TRUTH, GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS🙏🕊
Jesus Loves You. Trust Him that its done, and His Word fully and His Leadership in Yer Life.
No one knows that Day...but the Father ONLY...
Yes, and Revelation 1: 1 " A revelation by Jesus Christ which God gave him....."
1 Corinthians 8:5, 6 New King James Version
For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many gods and many lords,
there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live.
Praise be, to the God and Father of our lord Jesus Christ.
Hva?
I think they mean well. I don't see any other religions doing this. Jesus did the same thing. I won't judge any of them.
Listennn I was approached by 2 young women today. Never again will I not have the words to give them.
As an ex jw who knows he was in a cult.... this is an extremely cultist conversation. At 3:40 mark and I'm already completely turned off by the ignorance.
perhaps you could make your own video and shed some light on what you think should have been said. I would be interested to see it.
Yep!
That was really informative. I accepted Christ as my Savior in 1971. I am so thankful for the hope I have in Christ.
“He who knew no sin became sin for us so that we can become the righteousness of God”.
“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.
I don’t try to talk to Jehovahs Witness because I know they are ruthless in the handling of Scripture. I also know how hard they are to reach. I also know the price tag if they talked to you. What I do is quote acts 16:31. “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved”. I told them that my salvation is secure. Why would I want to trade for what they have to offer. Then I wish them a good day and say goodbye. Chuck Swindoll talked about not trying to talk to someone in a cult unless you have the training to do so. I think that is good advice. Me being polite, quoting Acts 16;31 and telling them what more could I possibly need than this and then politely saying goodbye without letting them answer is my way doing that. If you have to let them answer I would do as Chuck Swindoll suggested and politely not answer at all
I had two guys come to my door just the other day. As one who does read and study the Bible I asked them a simple question....how do I go to Heaven? I've got 10 minutes to live...tell me how to be saved? They look at me with blank stares. Then they wanted to talk to me about how their bible is the only correct bible. They were both very nice people and I was polite too...but we agreed to disagree.
How is their bible the correct one ,none are correct all have contents that has been deluded, deleted and twisted .But their bible is really deluded
@larysnw418 Did you count your comment as time ? Damn I'm so glad I no longer believe in your doctrines,it's sad people have been waiting since 1914 ,then 1925then 1975 to be able to live forever in paradise earth ,like the earth won't be overpopulated with trillions of people . Y'all have no logical thinking at all . Maybe old freemason Russell and drunk a$$ Rutherford can show people the way after of course they all change skin color being Russell said black skin was a curse
😂😂😂
In order for a person to be saved they must agree to take a Bible study from one of Jehovah Witnesses. He or she will have to teach this person what the Bible says, they will have to make the decision, if they agree to what they are taught, if they don't, there will be know reason to continue having the weekly lessons. People would have to agree, that Jehovah Witnesses women, that are in good standing are not getting kids unless they have a husband, the young black teens are not going around killing other teens for fun or sports nor are their men doing it.
I had two of them come to my door and I told them to listen to Alan Watts lecture - What is Reality? And they said they would.
It’s funny, he assumes that the conclusions that the Catholic Church came to are the true Christian beliefs. This is the problem with bias
If by Catholic Church you mean in the way it was before Christianity was legalized in the Roman Empire, where Katholikos meant Universal in greek, and so the Catholic Church or the Universal Church was all the christians churches all around the countries Turkey, Syria, Egypt, Europe, etc. If so when they all agreed that Arianism was a heresy is true is because it is what makes more sense from the scriptures and from what early christians believed. The fact that JW need to translate the bible in their own way to proof their theology is enough evidence that their are wrong, this is the principe Occam’s razor into logical thinking.
And by corrupting the scripting I meant the fact that they understand the Father calling Jesus his first born is a proof that Jesus was the first thing he created, even though God calls David the first born too, besides him not being not even the first king of Israel (Saloman came first), imagine the first son of his father (he was the youngest of 8), being the first born is a title of authority, is not about being actually the first one created.
And to proof their idea of first born they have to add 4 times the word « others» in the book of Hebrews to say that through Jesus all « other » things were created, since they thought Jesus was created too.
So this is why the Catholic Church and all other Churches that disagree with this heresy are right and JW are wrong. But fear not, I’m pretty sure Jesus Christ still save people who accepts him and puts his faith in him to wash his sin.
Jesus had left us in body but he had come back to be with us in spirit, therefore, Jesus has never left us.
@@sulongenjop7436 JESUS did leave us.
John 14 : 16
JESUS said he will send "another helper".
John 14 : 26
"But the helper, the HOLY SPIRIT whom the FATHER will send to you..."
John 14 : 28
JESUS has returned to his FATHER.
Revelation 1 : 7
Everyone will see JESUS when He comes back.
@@Episcopalianacolyte Look like the Holy Spirit isn't God!😀
Love what God has you doing for His Kingdom I got out in 2019 with just the Bible and the Holy Spirit no one told me the gospel and when I got saved I didn't know what had happened so I started watching UA-cam videos called and apologist and we ended up getting married LOL now we have our own Ministry in Christ 🤍🙏 6th generation born in God can do anything it was a miracle I got saved!
Amen An Congratulations On Your Marriage .An Yes God Can Do Anything
Awesome topic
Unusual video.
Just for the record that whole "work for salvation" section is bizarre.
We preach because we love talking about our God and his son.
We have something good to show people:
Very soon God's Kingdom is going to cause God's will to be done on the earth. (Matt6:10)
Like Jesus said,
Matthew 24:14
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
When you have some good news to share, you share it.
Like he mentioned, over a billion hours, not because we "have to.", or 'watchtower says do it" , (what a load of rubbish)
We choose to.
God loves a cheerful giver.
Prayers, fast and deliverance and eating health does heelling very well.
Love you guys 🎉 thank you for ALL YOUR ENERGY!! 🎉,💛 I Am not working right now ... will be soon .. and I can't wait to send $ 💛🙏🤘🎉👍
Can you do a video on Hebrew Roots or Black Israelites ? Thank you.
About the "Cross', I have a very old King James Bible and in it, it says "Stake" instead of Cross, . Also in this KJ Bible, it says that hell is the grave, not a lake of fire, but "the grave". I'm not a witness or anything, just thought I'd share that.
dee dee it was a stake Greek stauros you are right you are also right with the understanding of the word Hell Greek Hades because in the Book of Revelation 20:13-15 Hell the grave is destroyed in the lake of fire which is the second Death.
The word Hell actually replaces 5 (I think - just going from my bad memory) words in the Bible. Hades (Greek / NT) was one of them yes but the Hebrew (OT) term Sheol (grave or pit) is what you are mentioning.
There is a difference between ,hell and the Lake of fire 🔥 or the ever lasting fire 🔥 reserved for the wicked , Jesus mentioned the ever lasting fire 🔥.
christianity got the inspiration for the hell fire brimstone stories from dante's inferno, a divine comedy😒
The NKJV is the only version recomended by Greeks for English speakers. It says cross.
The JW's want us to choose the 8 men, who have never studied Greek, instead of the Greeks who say JESUS was cruxified on a cross. Incidentaly, the Greek church has analyzed the NWT and call it a horrible translation of thier language.
The New Testament and Gospels were written in Greek.
The last time I had a JW knock, I opened the door and here stands the cutest little girl I’ve ever seen. About 7. There was another girl with her about 12 and of course adults standing back on the sidewalk. This little girl said “hi! My name is Lucy what’s your name?” I had no idea how to handle that. I was as nice as possible and listened to Lucy and then they left. I had nothing for that Situation.
Key phrase: the last time. JWs ain’t an issue with Covid-19, not even remotely.
They're using the children for their bible perversion. That's all kinds of sin.
Jesus said if. We, do mot bece like little chidren,, we will not enter the kingdom,,, as.adults,,, wevvvv, got a long way to go,,,,,,, we have aswell, help me JEHOVAH,,,
@@elijah_godslayer9904 now thats unkind,, well yes, be just,
Poor kids ...I was one of them 😪
Are you not underestimating people's intelligence? Why should you be the person to 'tell people, what to say to the JW's e.t.c" I had them call on me and said "Thank you for coming to my home on this cold morning! " and I thanked them for making the effort to call on me! I have never in 36 years of living in this road ever had a catholic or protestant bother to call at my home to preach to me! So JW's 'bring it on'. I am an adult and have enough common sense to know what to say to callers at my home, thank you!
Not JW but applaud those that. honor their beliefs.Few Christians witness to unbelievers and if honest one can't tell the difference between them non-Christians. Is it possible that being true to their beliefs the cause for the negativity?Will they be better off not witnessing and living as if they don't believe like the rest?
@@barbararichardson2747 My study of religion leads me to realise that any group that have resisted &opposed the 'orthodox' churches from the 3rd century onwards have been persicuted. For example the 'Waldenses who were slaughtered in the thousands by the pope sanctioned armies of the vatican ( see 'Merindol massecre in the 16th century ) Many minority groups have been similarly treated as well as the JW's during world war 1 & 2 because they refuse to kill their fellow men they were imprisoned. The blood issue which has diminished rather since the heamophiliac commmunity are sueing governiments in the UK & France over tens of thousands of deaths due to contaminated blood transfusions . I am not a JW but know many very sincere families of JW's who seem to me live much closer to the early Chruistians then the apathetic churchgoers in my community! I will defend any minority group who are marginalised by the 'mainstream' religions who I feel are far removed from the original teachings of the gospels!
Bobby Conway from pastors perspective 👍
Iam reading a book I found in our community book box.
It is KEEP YOURSELF IN GOD'S LOVE and yes, I know WHO wrote it. But I use a NKJV Bible and there IS some good Biblical references that can apply to people of any religion.
I think that's why my aunts were never able to convert me; I would NEVER use their bible, the NWT. They'll tell ya, "oh it doesn't matter which Bible translation you use BUT WE recommend the NWT".
So I'd say, "then I can use any Bible I want". And their bible IS different. Recently they even removed verses, almost complete chapters out of John. There ain't no way I'm reading that book!
Do you have an example of these removed verses, "almost complete chapters of John'?
The reason I ask is we have the KJV, ASV, interlinear, Rotherham a Byington bibles right beside the NWT on our app.
We compare verses constantly, I have not found anything to be missing...
Sure the bible you were using was intact?
I have mormons in my neighborhood. I just wanna know why they need the book of mormon when the holy bible should be enough.
They believe their book is more correct than the Bible, to teach people about Jesus Christ, there is no greater book than the Bible, they are not the only ones who have said the Bible have mistakes in it, and if you listen to that stuff a person may start to accept what the say as the truth and it couldn't be, but they have a right to believe like many others according to their heart.
1:20 that is not the definition of a cult. This guy is just making up stuff. A cult can have nothing to do with Christianity. It is a system of worship.
The Bible is the touchstone.
Tell them your're an apostate & that you're in the Jehovah's Witness Protection Program. 😂
Better than anything in the video...I thought it was supposed to be about how to talk to Jehovah's Witnesses
I can imagine the looks of confusion on their faces! 😅
AIDS is fake
I'd love to know what literature buddy left that woman mentioned at the end. :)
In the congregations of Jehovah's Witnesses they practice rejecting the blood and body of Christ in the Lord's Supper!
"STOP, LOOK, LISTEN: Luke 8:17 "For there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed, nor is there anything carefully hidden that will never become known and never come to light." it is part of the new covenant that Jesus made with his disciples to eat the bread that represents his body and drink the wine that represents his blood, how will you have eternal life? (Luke 22:19,20). doctrine of men or the word of GOD?" observe (John ch 3:16,17) 16-“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever exercises faith in him may not be destroyed but have eternal life. 17-For God did not send his Son into the world that he might judge the world, but that the world might be saved through him." observe (John ch 6:53-57) 53- So Jesus said to them, "I say- to you with all certainty: Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in yourselves. 54 - He that feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I do. I will rise again at the last day, 55- for my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56- Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood remains in union with me, and I in union with him. Just as the Father who lives sent me and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on me will live because of me. the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me". notice what Jesus said: Matthew 23:13 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because they close the kingdom of heaven to men; for you yourselves do not enter, nor do you let in those who are on their way to enter." look at the Conclusion of Jesus (John ch 10: 09,10) 9- I am the door; whoever enters by me will be saved, and will enter and he shall go out, and find pasture.” 10- A thief comes only to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.
the only problem for Jehovah's Witnesses is not to take as an example what Jesus instituted in their memory, which was to eat and drink the emblems in the Lord's Supper! for it is one baptism and one hope of eternal life. Ephesians 4: 4-6 note 4- There is one body and one spirit, just as you were called in a hope to which you were called; 5- one Lord, one faith and one baptism; 6- God, unique and Father of all, who is above all, and through all and in all.

Hillo guys god bless all amen
"someone who rejects one or more of the Christian doctrines"...? What? Ha! So everyone in the world who isn't a Christian and even someone who isn't a your kind Christian is a cult? Oh, that's amazing. I can't wait to hear what gems you have next! 🤣
Thank you for mentioning this. It's incorrect at best and offensive at worst. If you want your religious views respected you have to respect the religious views of others. The time to stop that respecy is when:
1. someone tries to control what you believe
2. someone's beliefs causes them harm
3. someone's beliefs causes them to harm others
You completely misunderstood what hes trying to say. hes clearly talking about groups that proclaim to be "christian" but reject core doctrine of christianity. islam for example is not a cult because they dont claim to be christian, when they reject our beliefs.

Question for Bobby are the so called Christian denominations of the world polluted or not, and if not which ones and why not.
Yes and no that all depends if they hold up to core beliefs of the faith
Bobby you and millions of so called Christians not only belive in the lies that you follow one of them being the 25th of December, can you please show me where in the Bible this practice is found,and most of all where it originated. I look forward to your Scriptural reply.
The celebration of Dec 25th is not a lie, it's never been promoted as an exact time of Christ's birth. It was day taken from pagans, no one remembers what was originally celebrated on that day, so a win win, but to say Christians believe in a lie(S) is a vague comment.
@@alfonsoreynosa8143 First off all the early followers of Christ did NOT celebrate Christ's birth let alone there own Birthdays "something that only pagan do" .Second the date 25th was already observed by the Romans when they celebrated the Birthday of the sun god sol invictus. It was in the 4th century that the Date was used for the birth of christ even though know one knows his exact date and there is know where in Scripture that asks his true followers to do, and it was NOT in the winter time because the shepherd were still outdoors. Third Christ asked his true followers to Observed his Death because he Died for mankind this is being done each year by his True followers.
@@leeBoB4257 the Bible also never said you can sleep with a child. So is this also ok to do?
If you study the jewish holidays & feasts, December is the inception and end of September is the birth. There's several books about this.

JW on doorstep: We've come to talk to you about Jesus Christ.
Me: Oh good. What would you like to know?
I'd like to know if Jesus is King, he has been given all authority by his Father. He has been given more glory than he had even before coming to earth... yet in 1cor15 we see him handing the Kingdom back to his God and Father and subjecting himself to his God and Father..
Why do so many people insist he is God almighty?
We should be able to recognize who our Savior!!!
I’m open to calm discussion with anyone about their religious beliefs but I don’t judge or ridicule what they say I might or might not agree with it. The one thing I have the biggest question is the commandment about the Sabbath (7th Day Saturday) and the Catholic admission that the Catholics changed Gods Seventh Day to Sunday (1st Day). This makes me VERY WARY of anything Catholic (including Sunday Worship). So why do MOST Protestant Churches worship on the sabbath of the Pope & Catholic Church when Protestant means protesting the Catholic Worship System????
Since the Bible is the only authority for protestants. The answer to why we worship on Sunday comes from the Bible.
1. There is no example in the New Testament, incuding in Acts, that Christians observed the Old Testament Sabbath.
2. Acts 2 says the Christians met to break bread every day.
This refers to Mathew 26, Mark 14, Luke 22, John 6, 1st Corinthians 10 and 11.
3. This breaking of bread was not simply a common meal for those are forbidden for the church during worship. The church came together for communion.
4. St. Paul said "if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest you come together for judgement (1st Corinthians 11 : 34).
Acts 20 and 1st Corinthians 7 says the church worshipped on the FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK.
5. The Sabbath also was a shadow things to come that are in CHRIST (Colossians 2: 16 and 17).
6. We are a New Creation in CHRIST because of His death, burial and resurrection. We are not Moses.
Cd mcyntire, we are no longer under the curse of the mosaic law. The law was abolished. Ephesians 2:15
@@ucanliv4ever The Ten Commandments are NOT the Mosaic Law, if they are then the Ten Commandments do not apply so we can do whatever we please as long as we obey secular laws. So does that mean we can ignore the Ten Commandments? According to the Catholic Church they Changed the Sabbath not God. Just ask the Church when the Sabbath was changed and who changed it and why!
@@cdmcintyre1854 have you read Ephesians 2? What does it say?
King James version mentions the word Easter at Acts12:4. Easter is a pagan holiday festival that goes back to the ancient Babylonians and ancient Canaanites. The ancient Canaanites worshipped a pagan goddess called Ashtoreth. The ancient Babylonians worshipped a fertility goddess called Ishtar or Beltis. The ancient Greeks adopted the pagan festival and they called it Eoster. The ancient Romans adopted the pagan holiday or festival and they called it Astarte. In the 17th Century the Protestant Churches adopted the pagan holiday or festival and they called it Easter. Easter is a fertility goddess. The Easter Bunny and the Easter Eggs represent fertility gods. The original Greek word for PassOver is Pasch.
Correct , Google will tell you that.Same with Christmas pagan roots ,but people don't want to know .Btw not a JW in any way shape or form

That is not the definition of a cult... at all. Jesus had a small cult. Just 12 main members.
*ONLY JWs can study the Bible* and come to the conclusion that their top 8 elders (Kenneth Cook, Samuel F. Herd, Geoffrey Jackson, Mark Stephen Lett, Gerrit Losch, Anthony Morris III, Mark Sanderson, David H. Splane) are the "faithful & wise slave" that Jesus mentioned in the 2,000+ year old Bible. That this "entity", someone from the Bible lives here today in 2022 in modern day Warwick, New York at JWs headquarters and that they (average JWs) "need to obey" them. JWs believe this. LOL Yes, JWs are a cult!
"We *need to obey* the faithful and discreet slave to have Jehovah’s approval." Watchtower 2011 Jul 15 page24 Simplified English Edition
"At that time, the lifesaving direction that we receive from Jehovah’s organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint. *All of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not."* - Watchtower 2013 Nov 15 p.20
The only thing missing now is the koolaid!
Actually, JWs didn't study the Bible and decide that their top elders are who Jesus mentioned in Matthew. Their top elders told average JWs that "they" were Jesus' faithful & wise slave. Average JWs just accepted what these 8 men said. Accepted, never voted on, never discussed, never questioned, just accepted. Yes, JWs are a cult!
Hello, is Assemblies of God cult? Ty, blessings.
From what I saw, they seem to just be a branch of Pentecostals. I would be cautious of any group who tries to come up with "fundamental truths" instead of using the Apostles/Lord's Creed. Or if you are part of the church, keep any eye out if they are actively going against scripture. Stay vigilant
Brazilian Spiritualists or Kardecists have a similar view of God and Jesus as WJ, apart from believing in spirit immortality and reincarnation. Part of WJ's bible was indeed Pastor Johann Gruber's wife's psychographics.

It's amazing to me, that you would love something so much, and when you broke up, you felt the need to get back at the one that gave you so much joy...

Let me say this about John1:1. When the Godspel was written, our alphabet (Greek alphabet, I am Greek writing this from Greece) did NOT have lower case letters. Check any ancient Greek inscription or manuscript and you will see that all Greek letters are in capitals. Same goes from Latin. Lower case letters were used at about the 8th century AD (Caroligian miniscule). So John could NOT have written "god" but "GOD".
Jesus is an angel Revelation 22:8,9 KJV
@@ScottJackson. Goodmorning Scott. Jesus is not an angel, he is God and not "a god" as JWs wrongly claim. Look at Rev. 22,13 and 22,16. And also Hebrews 1, 1-5. Enjoy your weekend, regards from Athens, Greece.

@@ScottJackson. According to the WT an "angel" is speaking. In the original Greek Bible is very clear that Jesus is speaking. the A and the Omega (ἐγὼ τὸ Α καὶ τὸ Ω, ὁ πρῶτος καὶ ὁ ἔσχατος, ἀρχὴ καὶ τέλος)

That definition of a cult is sooooo wrong.

Many no christian cults
Also you are all arguing over who’s shade of black is more black then another.
Im from Quebec but i have a authorized version of the king james bible 1611 why it is mention Jehovah in it? Many say that this is the only true bible?
@larysnw418 First, Yahweh is God's name. Second, you're not allowed to be here, as your elders would be upset over you.
It says God maketh his Angels Spirits ..the book of Angels...by Edgar Cayce..explains..a lot..too..
The Father Loves us, therefore he sent us his Only Begotten Son. Jesus
When all the god's return u will know it like...he said..I will be seen from one end of the world to the other...an help them..instead of scorned...
The Hebrew word for PassOver is Paisah.
The are supposed to put you on a no call list if you tell they to. I don’t guarantee they will but please give it a try. Tell them “I want you to put my house and name on your no call list.” If they ask why you could say I am extremely not interested.

What ever happened to the warnings about Judge Not..?
Historical Fact. One of the Primary reasons for interest in JWs was them pointing out flaws in Christendom. Now they got enough history to have flaws themselves. Quit judging one another, the Way is is not about conflict.
To the people in this video: actually, your doctrine is not part of the core beliefs of Christianity, but rather a subset or sect of Christianity that believes in a triune god. It makes you sound, from your video, that you are part of a cult ....
The Trinity comes from the Bible. As to it being some "subset" tell me who did not believe in the Trinity for 2,000 years.
Mathew 16 : 18
The church cannot die.
Luke 1 : 33.
"...of his kingdom, there will be no end."
John 14 : through 26
Bur the Helper, Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in MY name,
will teach you all things and remind you of everything that I said."
John 14 : 16
"The helper will abide with you FOREVER."
Who were the "Christians" who did not believe in the Trinity for the last 2,000 years.
Before saying that they were hidden, read mathew 5 : 13 through 20.
A subset is something that is part of a group. Since all Christians believe in the Trinity, there is no subset.
Even a Christian cannot brush aside the worship of Jehovah as God. In Revelation 1:5 the Son of God called himself Jesus Christ, 'The Faithful Witness.'" When on earth as a man he was a Jew, an Israelite, to whose nation the words of Isaiah 43:10 was written: "'You are my witnesses, ' is the utterance of Jehovah, even my servant whom I have chosen.'" Jesus demonstrated that he a faithful and true witness of Jehovah God. His genuine disciples today must be the same kind of witnesses, Jehovah.
Please do not fabricate lies! No one is brushing aside the worship of Jehovah. You _cannot_ honor the Son without honoring the Father:
"Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him." (John 5:23)
By demoting Jesus to "a god" all you are doing is dishonoring the Father yourself!
The definition of cult is not sufficient i think, or correct even... Almost every religious groups reject the others. There are more accurate definitions to describe a cult this days, but i take back that is incorrect, it sounds incorrect to me but i think was just lacking...
Accept Jesus plz I beg b u
Rather than hightlight what Jehovah's Witnesses and its teachings, go after the Catholic Church, Christianity, Judaism, Islam and their Bibles and dogma. There is where you'll the falseness, deception, mythology, astro-theology, Freemasonry, and occultism. You know the network behind this stuff and the Mammon protocol.
Hebrews 1:5 For unto which of the messengers [of God] said he at any time, you are my Son, This day I have begotten you [again]? And again, I will be to him a Father, And he shall be to me a Son?
6} And when He [resurrects to] bring the firstborn again into the inhabitable world He said, And let all the messengers of God worship him.
7 And of the messengers [of God] He said, “Who makes His messengers winds, And His ministers flames of fire?:
8 but to the Son He [The Father] said, Your throne, [Ho Theos] “The Almighty God,” is forever and ever; And the Scepter of good works is the Scepter of your kingdom. 9 you have agape loved [legal] works of the law, and hated works against law; Therefore God, your [Father] God, has anointed you [as The Christ] with the oil of gladness above your fellows.
Why do you use a Hebrew definite article assigned to a Greek word “Logos” John 1:1? This undermines your point which does matter.
Isaiah 9:6 New World Translation (JW bible)
For a child has been born to us, A son has been given to us; And the rulership will rest on his shoulder. His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, *Mighty God, Eternal Father,* Prince of Peace.

Most were trinity believers although most agreed it NEVER made sense to them. Matthew 7:21-23 They were taught like you to ignore The Father. John 20:17. 1 Peter 1:3
Matthew 7:21 Matthew chapter 6
I think if it referred to his creation in Heaven...it would read..the first Begotten..not only Begotten..since million of Angel's..were..created the same way ..
Why would God sit an angel beside himself, bringing angel up , God down, what was the truth b4 1945, when jw was started

It says the harolet nations will be anilated
I FEEL SO SORRY YOU GUYS, EVEN IF Jehovahs witnesses predicted the coming of Jesus, have any of you ever read Habakkuk 2 verse 3 ? It says, " king James version, FOR THE VISION IS YET FOR AN APPOINTED TIME, FOR IT WILL COME THROUGH, EVEN IF IT SHOULD TARRY, OR DELAY, KEEP IN EXPECTATIONS OF IT, FOR IT WILL COME THROUGH. (EVEN IF IT DELAY). Doesn't the scriptures say that every eye shall see the son of man coming in all his glory, and the scriptures also say he shall come like a thief in the night? Does anyone see a thief when he comes in the night?
Doesn't the king James version say at Matthew 7 v 22 NOT ALL SAYING LORD, LORD, SHALL BE SAVED, and ROMANS 10 v 13 say ALL WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED???.??
I don't know what your first point is supposed to prove. But where does Matthew 7:22 say anything about the Jehovah's witnesses? Many different cults refer to that passage conveniently thinking that justifies them and condemns mainstream Christianity, which is totally false. If you look at the verse without reading Jehovah's witnesses into the text you will see that what it demonstrates is that these people _know_ the truth, but do not obey it. Disobedient people are found in all denominations.
Unless they were sent from Baal..

you mean like the trinity the doctrine that was adopted and not an actual biblical teaching and has for the church is crrupt revelation chapter 18 makes it clear the church is dose it not why would you want to read a lie when you know its a lie it is a waste of time to read a lie when you know it is
Amen. There is only one God who sits on the throne in heaven according to Revelation 4:2, and Jesus Christ is his name! Acts 2:38🕊
Jehovah's Witnesses are commanded by Jehovah God to preach the good news of the Kingdom in all the world so that people of all nations will have an opportunity to know of God’s new world. (Matthew 24:14; 28: 19, 20) Jehovah God is now offering you an opportunity for life in his new world, where he will bless faithful people with the desires of their hearts. (Psalm 10:17; 27:4) What is the desire of your heart? 💖
Read: "Are Jehovah's Witnesses the only ones that Preach?"
JWs actually DISOBEY what Jesus said about preaching the gospel!
"Stay there, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for the worker deserves his wages. *DO NOT MOVE AROUND FROM HOUSE TO HOUSE."* (Luke 10:7)
What Jesus prescribed was to work on a town-to-town and villiage-to-villiage basis rather than door to door, _only_ entering someone's house when they were first considered "worthy":
"Whatever town or village you enter, search there for some worthy person and stay at their house until you leave." (Matthew 10:11)
This makes _perfect_ sense because anyone who has knocked on doors knows how irritated people can be when you intrude on their personal space _uninvited,_ like some annoying door-to-door salesman. I am totally convinced that it actually does more damage than good. It makes God look desparate, and most often puts the people you unexpectely impose on in a defensive mood. That is why JWs have such a bad reputation.
Notice also Paul's concern about preaching in areas that have already been covered:
"Our hope is that, as your faith continues to grow, our sphere of activity among you will greatly expand, *so that we can preach the gospel in the regions beyond you.* For we do not want to boast about work *already done in someone else’s territory."*
The Watchtower seems to shows zero concern that the same patches of threshing floor are being beaten over and over again to the degree that people are getting tired of it. Sure, you might be in other places too and I don't doubt that, but even if those cases we have to ask ourselves whether or not it is the gospel of Christ being preached or a distortion of the gospel? I can absolutly prove that WT theology is false if you want. The problem isn't proving it, the problem is that the WT has cleverly drummed into your heads that you should not listen to anyone who disagrees with them. You shun those who question the theology of the organization, and consider the rest of Christianity to be Bablylon. What a convenient way to enforce confirmation bias!
*"How do you understand what is written in Acts 5: 42?"*
Thanks for asking. There are actually two places in Acts that the WT uses to justify going from door to door, and if we just glance at the text, it does seems as if Paul is doing just that:
"You know that I have not hesitated to preach anything that would be helpful to you but have taught you publicly *and from house to house."* (Acts 20:20)
And
"Day after day, in the temple courts and *from house to house,* they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Messiah." (Acts 5:42)
So why did Paul disobey Jesus?
The answer is that he didn't! In the following verse we see what "houses" Paul was referring to:
"Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread *_in their homes_* and ate together with glad and sincere hearts" (Acts 2:46)
Who is Paul referring to when he says "they" and "their homes"?
He is referring to the people that the apostles were meeting daily in the temple courts. They were being invited into the homes of believers to eat _after_ the gospel had already been preached to them. Surely, if this was referring to a door-knocking activity that the WT forces you to do then they would have been constantly breaking bread and eating! The resulting obesity would be alarming!
As previously mentioned, before Christain churches were built, the apostles had to meet and teach in other locations - in temple courts, and in each other's homes. So there is no reason to believe Paul deviated from anything Jesus told his disciples to do.
I would come across with Revelations chapter 1 that Jesus Christ said in verse 8….in Red letters…. I am the alpha and omega the first and the last the almighty….when I see this word that Jesus said the almighty…God in Human form…. I know that Jesus would not lie about who he is….therefore Jesus is being honest on who he says that he is….no question about it….but why would religious people like the Jehovah’s Witness don’t believe that…..the only answer that I can give is think about what the religious Jewish people did when they didn’t believe in Jesus but yet Jesus himself was standing in the Synagogue and proclaiming that he is God that came in the flesh….this is called the lord’s is here on earth but people failed to recognize who Jesus is until Jesus himself had to show that he was god in human form….Revelations 1 verse 8 and the reason that most religions don’t believe that Jesus is god is because of his humanity….so Jesus himself went to the Romans because the Jews didn’t believe in Jesus it would be the same way with the Jehovah’s Witness….Jesus went on that cross and wa resurrectied on the third day….the tomb was empty and Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene and said….tell my disciples that I have risen……
Bye. Close 🚪
The green Bible has added words...
Jesus says in Rev..3-28..first created Angel
Well way u slice it ... Jehovah still means jeal ous... Exodus 34-14-15...
o all of your colleague ex-Witnesses: The Christian Church was founded by Jesus Christ on the day of Pentecost (50 days after His Resurrection) when the Holy Spirit entered the Apostles and gave them the power to speak in tongues (not gibberish but in a way that is understood by all who listened to them). That Church has continued undergoing all kinds of trials and tribulations right through to this day unchanged and untarnished by heresies and erroneous proclamations. Priests who are Jews and now Christians testify to the fact that the Eastern Orthodox Church is the logical and true post-Messianic continuance of the Faith that Christ professed during His incarnated Life on earth. Christ told us that He is the Light, the Way and the Life and that He will be with us always. Does that not give the lie to a church that is 'founded'/'discovered' some eighteen hundred years after His Resurrection? Find the true Church near you and find out more about the Truth.
