Hey everyone, it has come to my understanding that I might have misrepresented the Jehovah’s Witness position slightly. Apparently they do not believe in hell, but rather, annihilation, which is the idea that you will cease to exist eventually. Everything else shared in this video I believe is factual and biblical. My apologies for the oversight.
It's hard for me to not sin in high school and they all ways sin and bully people and bully me and it's hard to control the songs I listen to
And I really love jesus
Yes brother I was about to correct you on that. Hell teaching is pagan for them they believe hell exist. Also Rev 7:1-9 they interpret like that 144000 chosen Jehovah Witness will go to heaven to rule with Christ to fight the armagedon war to turn the earth in a paradise for the remaining Jehovah Witness and during that time Jehovah Witness that die will be resurrected to paradise earth. They are the great crowd that how it is worded in their bible will survive the great tribulation and armagedon. So they will prepare the earth into a paradise, earth wide garden. Brother hell, trinity, immortal soul, Jesus is God, Holy is God brother that is pagan and false teaching for the JWs. Brother I was born into this cult false religion now I am a born again christian. Brother these people are headed straight to hell. They reject the gospel of salvation, they donot take part in the lord supper only the 144,000, they reject the diety of the Holy Spirit call him an it or active force, reject diety of Jesus calling him michael the archangel, brother that aint no joke these people are lost. Brother as an xJW, it was God the Holy Spirit that reveal the Diety Of Jesus to me. Brother we have to pray for those people for God to open their eyes. Grace and Peace in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

John 14:15
Jesus said:
15 “If you love me, you will obey my commandments.
James 4:4
You adulterous people don't you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.
Flesh is not to rule over you. Bring it under submission of the Holy Spirit. Pray and ask God to help you. He is faithful and will answer. God Bless you.
@Heart Of Hope
Religion is man made, Baptist, Anglican, Methodist, Catholic, etc. Just
Continue to develop close intimate RELATIONSHIP with Jesus. The church or Ecclesia is the Body of Believers.
Be Blessed.
I’m soo happy I accepted Jesus Christ into my heart and knows that God sent his only son to die on the cross for my sins.. I pray for others to get to know him. ❤️🙏🏽
Same. We don’t deserve him but we need him
ua-cam.com/video/OfHHkajSxTs/v-deo.html
Amen🙏🏾🙏🏾
But yet you do NOT know him...for he did NOT die on a cross!(pagan symbol introduced into christianity )...he died on a upright stake...arms above his head..hands nailed to the stake....feet also nailed to the stake.....scripture says when the crowd got in an uproar they screamed:"to the stake with him"!!!(NOT to the cross)....jesus said his FATHER were looking for those who worship HIM in spirit/TRUTH....if you believe he died on a cross...he was born on december 25th...that he is GOD...that YOU are going to heaven.....YOU HAVE BEEN DECIEVED!!!...warning to abandon FALSE religion is found at revelations 18:4...fyi...#jw.org
@@charlesdoss4162 I'm sorry, but I don't know where you learnt that the cross is a pagan symbol. A simple Google search will show you that the crucifix was often used in first century Rome.
In fact, the Greek and Latin words corresponding to "crucifixion" applied to many different forms of painful execution, including being impaled on a stake, or affixed to a tree, upright pole (a crux simplex), or (most famous now) to a combination of an upright (in Latin, stipes) and a crossbeam (in Latin, patibulum).
I accepted Jesus Christ at 8 years old. I am eleven years old now and still strongly believe in Him. This guy is very helpful fro me because he interprets things very well. G1GB. ( God 1st God bless)
Goodv for you, young man. That's very admirable for one so young, and I can promise you from my own experience that if you don't depart from Christ, you're going to save yourself a lot of heartache. Don't ever lose sight of Him. May God bless you xo
Yes he is! He is a great teacher! God Bless You Young Man keep God first 🙏 , you will stay blessed.
Keep your eyes on Jesus and your life will be easier and better than most. You're lucky to know God so early, cherish that gift and tell your friends about God whenever you can! The earlier kids know about the deceptions of the word, the better. God bless you all. ♥️😀
@Kevin Belgrove where in scripture does it ever say anything like that? I don't mean that rudely, just a bit confused. When I pray, I get answered just the same, thanks. :)
Glory to God! Well young man, it is my prayer that you continue on your walk with Christ and may you burn with a deep passion to learn more about The Kingdom Of God. May God’s Grace forever be upon you wherever you go. May God use you as an instrument to bring in other youths into His Kingdom. Walk on and be an agent of change, and Ambassador for God’s Kingdom in Jesus mighty name I pray. Amen

@@gmoneymiti92W thanks🙏🙏👏
He punishes your people right now for false Catholicism and idolatry. But he knows many are ignorant and he loves everyone on an individual level. Spread the true Gospel in your land
Heavenly Lord Father God I pray in your Son Jesus Christ name for a full restoration for the Philippines and I pray for protection Heavenly Father God for the person who asked for prayer for the country, I pray my Heavenly Lord Father God Jesus Christ for protection and for your will be done in this person and in the country. My Heavenly Lord Father God everything I prayed for I asked in your Son Jesus Christ name. Amen
I don't agree with this guy, but at least that's worth saying a prayer for!
Jehovah Witnesses used to come to my house regularly. Once I told them in our house, we believe in The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit , they stopped visiting.
Blessings! 🙏🏽
Mimi Jenkins. I pretty much did the same. Havnt seen them since. Isn’t Jehovas witness promoted by the United Mations ?
Good they just came like last Saturday
Im not christian but how does trinity work
@@itsryandanial its God the holy spirit and jesus all in one.
"anytime you take the text out of context, you will get conned"
got to love that
Sean Wee 👍🏽 Yes! He made a very good point on that!
No, he still missing key scriptures, what does the Bible say about The Earth?!
@@mrg466 what about the Earth?
@@rileybenedict1804 If everyone's going to Heaven, then how is scripture going to be fulfilled about what scripture says about The Earth? The Bible states that The Earth will remain forever! Therefore how does the scripture about a mere child leading the animals, and playing on a hole of a Cobra be fulfilled? Or those who are handicap, being able to leap like a gazelle? Just how and where is he fulfillment of these things if everyone is going to Heaven? Where's the fulfillment, of the meek shall inherit The Earth in Matt 5:5?, and many other scriptures? Also where's the fulfillment of Jesus own words, there are many invited, but only (few chosen)? These scriptures are written for a reason!
@@mrg466 Well we know there will be a new heaven and a new earth and we know all of the dead will be brought back to life. This new earth will essentially be heaven. God will be there as it was at the garden of Eden, but he will also be in heaven. Maybe we can visit both heaven and the perfect earth, who knows? But I don't really think it's that big of a deal, either way we will be with God for eternity, whether on a new earth or in heaven. So why fight over it, especially when not a single one if us can know the truth for sure until we leave this world?
I'm so happy I accepted Jesus christ as my Lord and savor 🥰🙏🏾
Since when did Denzel start teaching the Bible lol...Love every single one of Pastor Allens videos
Exactly
He looks nothing like Denzel....
My exact thoughts (Denzel look-alike) when I came across him on UA-cam. I love his sound teaching and the fact that he approaches every subject with transparency and with biblical truth!
To bad he's wrong!
@@mrg466 I pray you follow the correct Jesus for your sake
I’m glad you were born. You’ve certainly help keep me in Faith when it’s wavered!
this guy has no idea what hes talking about, litterally everything he said here was wrong.
@@indiegamesonly6617 Believe in Jesus and Receive Him as your LORD and Savior put your Trust in Him
@@angelabarrientos916 ok.....and? then what?
what makes you think i dont beleive in jesus? you sound like the crazy Christians people make fun of. articulate your thoughts.
@@indiegamesonly6617 Do you Trust Jesus for your Salvation your Forgiveness of your sins, did you give your life to him and follow Him? Or do you Believe that He is just real?
@@angelabarrientos916 what does that have to do with what im talking about.... you are speaking like a crazy person
"If you take the 'text' out of context, you will be 'conned' every time." Very wise. Very true.
This is timely. It is time to stand with the Biblical Truth that God reveals...Nice one
The Truth it was actually inspired by the Holy Spirit. But you wouldn’t know that since you like to jump to judgment before getting your facts right.
And until you infact read it you cannot say it was written by man because you have not read it yourself. so how can you claim what it says without really knowing what it says?
You cannot.
Nor can you with any other book.
You show no proof against it, just a simply statement that means nothing and will not change facts.
@@Levi-yv9oe You really answered it perfectly. Thanks for your wisdom and insight.
The Truth If the Bible was not divinely inspired, then how come numerous prophecies described in the Word of God have been fulfilled?
The Truth How have I been brainwashed when historical evidence proves that Jesus Christ was the Messiah? It seems as though you’re the one making bold claims without providing any evidence to support your position. God loves you, and He wants to have a relationship with you. All people will have to face God on Judgment Day, so trust in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and you will be saved. Have a blessed day/night.
@The Truth For someone that don't believe in the Bible, why name yourself the the truth? The Lord Jesus Christ is the Truth, why? Because, He only is the one that has the keys to heaven, and has paid the sin debt the Father required.
Love your videos Allen, I don't know if you will see this but when i first came to Christ i used your videos all the time to help me understand alot of stuff in the bible, be blessed brother. I had a conversation with a jw pastor once and the main thing which shocked me was he said that Jehovahs witnesses believe Jesus wasnt God , just a son of God, where as in John 10:30 Jesus said 'I and the father are one.' The truth is he is THE son of God and had God in him. Fully God, fully human.
Hello brother, I am not a Jehovah's Witness, but I actually do believe that Jesus is the son of God. If you go to verse Matthew 18:19 Again I say to you, if two of you uagree on earth about anything they ask, vit will be done for them by my Father in heaven. So you really can't take just one verse in the Bible, you have to take all of them and let the holy Spirit make sense of it for you. In several verses Jesus mentions his Father.
betty boop He’s the Son, But He’s also God in the flesh.
There are three that bear record in heaven The Father, The Word, and the Holy Ghost.. 1John 5:7
When Jesus was baptized a voice from heaven said this is my beloved son. So Jesus is a son. He calls God is father and God calls him son. There's only one God. Jesus and God are one in purpose not in person or physically.
@@RondayB amen he is the son of god but also equal with the father, you guys knew what I meant ! what is with the body of Christ and picking people up on every single little detail
Made so much sense when he read the verse that said "Numbers that no one can count"
I had a Jehovah Witness approach me at the has station the other day in the pouring rain to offer me a pamphlet, I just told her I couldn't accept it and walked away.
They also believe Michael the archangel is Jesus
Patrick Junior. Doesn’t the United Nations promote Jehovas witness around the world ?
They also won’t take a pamphlet from you, but want you to read a “Watchtower” from them😒
@@faithfuldestiny6088 right, their marching orders come from the governing body which consists of 8 guys in New York. Seems like they don't ever question them.
@@donjon2023 I guess so, but I dont care. I want nothing to do with them. They give false teachings.
love your videos Allen they help me with my anxiety all the time
Hey Mr.Parr, I just want to say thank you for all these great videos you are making. For me, as a middle school students they help me to know God better even in the troubles of today’s world. God bless you.
Great videos? The guy is wrong!
Happy Sabbath everyone, hope you're all doing well and taking it easy 😊😇👍👍
Other than shoveling 8 inches of snow my sabbath is great lol
@@fatherforgivemeiamasinner2107 well Bible says we shouldn't do any work on the Sabbath day unless it is meant for good like what Jesus did
The sabbath is when we take it. Jesus fulfilled the law. If we walk in the spirit, keeping the commandments is a certainty without effort. No need for the laws and customs of men. Keeping sabbaths is not required, nor discouraged. It is the belief in Jesus as the Savior that saves us. The Devil himself can keep the sabbath if he wanted to.
@@jerrodlopes186 Jerrod Lopes now just hold up brother, hold up
Now the Sabbath being part of God's law it must be kept since it is for resting and the day was made holy at creations end
Jesus says in Mathew 5 that he came not to distroy the law but to fulfill, fulfill means to carry out or to do, and as Jesus said .....he also kept the Sabbath day (see Luke 4:16),the apostles kept it too (see Acts 17:2) and in the new earth we will still be keeping the lords day (see Isaiah 66:22,23)
Now I'm not gonna stop here because I wanna address everything you said
Now if we walk in the spirit it will not be effortless to keep to commandments, because it would be like the spirit is doing all the work for us But that's not what the Bible teaches
Bible says we will encounter great trials and tribulations on the narrow path to God and very few people make it
Now this part is a part we both can agree on.....with not keeping the customs of men and 😆😆 I don't think you know this but
SUN--DAY worship is a man made custom, created by early paganism and the Bible even talks about this in deuteronomy 4:19 where they were people who worshiped the Sun rather than the one who created it, this pagan day of worship was also adopted by the very ungodly Roman Catholics church, in order to try change the Sabbath but they managed to deceive a lot of people tho, lord have mercy
That was a lot of typing
😅😅Aright at least you know the truth now and if you still want clarification their is a UA-camr I watch called "truthunedited" he talks about these things in depth
@@shemuelswaving1613 so going to church on Sunday and praising God bad?
There is a JW man that used to come by our house. The first time he came he told my husband that he wanted to talk to my husband about God. My husband said, "Hold on, let me grab my bible." They sat outside and shared each other's beliefs for hours. They are relentlessly trying to convert each other. He used to come frequently but hasn't been by in awhile.
My question has always been if they believe only 144,000 make it, why do they continue to try to convert people? If what they believed were true, are they not narrowing their chances?
To them, living in paradise on a new Earth is a good goal. They're not concerned with Heaven so much. The Bible DOES teach about a new Heaven and a new Earth as well as vividly depicting New Jerusalem. Are we supposed to believe that God is creating a new Earth and New Jerusalem with no intention that either be inhabited?
Jerrod Lopes I agree with you. There will be a new heaven AND a new earth. However what this video and comment thread does is discuss a theological point stripped out of its own context. Thus creating a straw man in a sense. Where did their belief of that come from? Was it only from the Bible? Was there any presumptions made that caused this particular belief to come to be? These are important things to consider. We are debating something without seeing the bigger picture.
It frustrates me that the church isn’t well versed and prepared for literal possible deceivers in the body of Christ. Before we can address the Bible on the front lines (with atheist, satanist, pagans etc.) we need to address the discrepancies and deception (false prophets, false Christ’s, cults etc.) within our own camp in this body of Christ.
Jerrod Lopes amen! The Bible teaches of a time of restoration for the earth and heaven making all things new and there is supposed to inherit the earth and forever upon it according to Psalm 37:29
New International Version
The righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it forever
carbon273 You can show them all the discrepancies and deceptions you like, direct scriptural proof. The problem is they cannot see. So, we need to pray that God will open eyes.
@@jerrodlopes186 the new heaven will be dwelt by Jesus Christ and all his followers, the new Earth will be dwelt by Satan, demons and everyone who is not in heaven. This means if you're not in heaven you will be in hell which is the new earth.
Jesus is my saviour. Amen!
Nice video btw
Judgment Of Babylon:
And I WiILL NOT ACCEPT Anyone's Mediation:
"THE NAME OF Our SAVIOR IS "YEHOVA SAPAVOVT."
"HE IS THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL:”
~ Isaiah 47:3-4
I AM YEHOVA; THAT IS MY NAME!
I WILL NOT YIELD MY GLORY To Another Or MY PRAISE To idols.
~ Isaiah 42:8
I, I AM YEHOVA, And There Is No Other Savior BUT ME.
~ Isaiah 43:11
I AM YEHOVA, AND THERE IS NONE ELSE.
~ Isaiah 45:5
Preach And Bring Them Closer And Let Them Counsel Together.
Who Knew This From The Beginning,
Who Told Since Then?
Have Not I, THE YEHOVA ?
There Is No Other Elohim Besides ME.
THERE IS NO TRUE ELOHIM AND SAVIOR Other THAN ME.
~ Isaiah 45:21
To my knowledge, they actually don't believe in hell like Christians do. They believe that you just won't be resurrected. So it's like they just stay dead.
They also think that Jehovah's Witnesses are part of the 144,000. Their Watchtower governing body members are "anointed" and believed to be going to heaven.
But they change doctrine so much that it's hard not to get whiplash.
Leslie Larson but I thought
“Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus EVERY knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
Philippians 2:9-11 NKJV
Well you can’t confess that Christ is Lord without ressurecting first .🤔
@@carbon273 I know. I never said their theologies make sense. Just, I grew up with a Jehovah's Witness mother and before I decided to stop going to their meetings, that's what they believed.
They believe everyone will be resurrected. They believe only the 144,000 that will rule with Christ will be in heaven and the rest will be resurrected to the earth, which I agree since there’s going to be a new heaven and new earth. The Bible says the earth wasn’t made simply for nothing, but to be inhabited and says the meek will inherit it, so I have to agree
@@mrs.bartlett6047 So the unbelievers, the heathens... What's the point of being resurrected if they'll cease to exist?
Mrs. Bartlett Actually, my witness friend who thought me their theology told me that some will not be resurrected. Maybe I misunderstood him but it would make more sense to say some will not be redeemed. Because all will be resurrected.
Actually one example is Adam and Eve. Contemporary witnesses believe that Adam and Eve will not be resurrected because they forfeited for themselves, a perfect life. Apparently, this is an unforgivable sin in their eyes.🤔
EDIT: I did some research to be sure. Yeah my claim is correct.
This was about as perfect an explanation as it could get. Thank you🙏🏾🙌🏾
Agree. Listen to what a former JW who was high up in the organization as he teaches the truth about who the 144,000 really are: ua-cam.com/video/39Tu2iCORVc/v-deo.html
Amen Allen! You never fail to disappoint me with your videos!
Abdiel Price ?
Thank you so much for this video allen this mystery has alluded me For YEARS but now it finally makes since thanks! Please never stop making videos!
Another great video Allen!!👏🏾I am so glad I found out about your channel it has been a blessing.
2 Timothy 2:15 KJV
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
The word STUDY in that verse. To the King james translators didnt mean STUDY as we use the word today. They MEANT. " do your best". Or. "To be careful". An example: "study to be diligent" or "study to be a better man".
It meant back then to examine yourself to do something carefully in a sense. Look at the Greek on that verse.
Another example is is Philippians 4:6.
Kjv says "be careful for nothing"
But other translations translate it "be anxious about nothing".
Why? Because KING JAMES TRANSLATORS LIVED IN A DIFFERENT TIME. AND LANGUAGE WAS DIFFERENT.
The word STUDY in that verse doesnt mean what you want it to mean.
Sorry to burst your bubble sir. But if YOU STUDIED. You'D know this. Nonetheless. I pray you understood what i taught. Look into it yourself. And now you know the truth on that verse. :) be happy.
@@St.David7 it seems you have misunderstood my intention for sharing this verse; as well as assumed I had no understanding of the meaning behind it dear friend. I do, in fact, study the Greek and Hebrew in the Bible. You may want to look into your heart and ask what your intention was by talking down to me.
The channel 'Real Bible Believers' divides rightly.
@@jayvessel3444 why do you use King James version?😂
Thank you Pastor it's so refreshing to just see the word of God being taught the right way my family loves you and we're praying for you and your beautiful wife and family thank you so much!❤🙏

To God be the glory. Lord, Thank you for using Allen Parr.
Allen, I grew up in the church, father was a pastor, I use to lead music ministry, etc. I fell away because of the corruption I saw in the church. I had so much anger. Recently, I had my flame re-ignited for Christ and these videos are a huge blessing! I have been sharing it with my family/friends. Learning so much as we grow. Thank you for letting God use you.
that's what they said to me!! I was like hmm, something's off here. Thank you for explaining it thoroughly, God bless you!
They don't believe in hell. They believe only chosen ones will be in the 144, 000 and go to heaven. The rest will stay in the new paradise Earth.
I believe before Christ comes we do go to heaven (spiritually) and then once Christ comes. We'll be raised in a glorified body and live on Earth/ heaven together. 💝
Only saved ppl of course😉
I hope you don't believe in getting "saved" as false religion once taught me!
Those who die in Christ go to "Abraham's Bosom". After Christ comes, those still in Christ will be with him on the New Earth and then the New Heaven.
Mr G what do you mean?
@@kaidx3 Well, the term, "getting saved" is far from what scripture says about being "saved". When I was young, it was common, for people to do what they called "getting saved". For example, someone will say,...boy, you need to get saved, which meant, going to the front of the church, in which someone would come over to you,...and then, they would teach you to raise your hands, and then say a repetitious prayer, and ask the lord, to come into your heart, and whatever else, this repetitious prayer taught you to say. Then this usually leads to people jumping around, and (so called) speaking in tongues in some cases, and then the musicians of church join in, (then it's just one big party)! Then, they teach us, that The (so called) Holy Ghost is active in the church,...then, because you do this, ...then they will say,...so and so, just got saved! Yet, scripture makes two points on this,..1. It says, we are (Not) to say prayers in repetition. 2. Scripture also says, the one who endures to the end, is the one, who will be saved,...yet church leaders, are teaching things, contrary to what scripture is saying. Therefore, there version of getting "saved" and the Holy Ghost operating in the church, is unscriptural! Having God's spirit, isn't about getting so called saved, and jumping around, and speaking in tongues, yet, no one has a clue, what's being said! Its all, totally unscriptural!
Mr G oh okay, I get it.
You are spot on. Love the videos. Very well spoken!
I just read revelations chapter 7 the other day so it's crazy to see god putting this in front of me so fast thank lord jesus and that you Mr parr for making these videos they help me alot
Good message brother Allen, you are right on point thanking God for you and your ministry👍🏾
Cynthia Smith amen!
Pls pray for me I keep doing the same sin over and over and I want to overcome all my sins🙏🥺🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭😭
I am the same way, and I repeat the same sins. They are the ones I struggle with. Watch Allen’s video on how to know if you are living in your sins. It’s very helpful, and had helped me to start turning my life around. I want you to know that I love you and I KNOW you can always be forgiven :).
@@maggiedrain6465 thank u brother or sister I hope we meet again in heaven
They actually don’t believe in hell they believe in soul sleep, then on judgment day the lost will be destroyed (therefore becoming nonexistent)
That is correct. They believe that hell is the common grave of mankind, not a literal eternal burning place. They believe in sheol, which is the permanent elimination of a being.
Sounds nice but not true
@@bloodwashedsaint actually it may be true because the consequencce of sin is death
@@bloodwashedsaint yea it's true, burning forever in hell makes god out to be cruel and a lier, God said to adam from dust you are to dust you will return
The punish of sin is eternal spiritual death, you are throw into Gehenna as a second funeral.
thank you for clearing so many misunderstanded verses up! You are a reliable source
Thank you I watched an interview of a football player who lost his faith because of this issue I didn’t think it was right & I remembered hearing the number in the Bible I’m glad I came across your video.
Yesssss AMEN!!! CON-TEXT!!!
I was literally just thinking about this 20 min ago 😃
Your videos have edified and blessed me. Thank you!!
That was explained really well.Thank you brother.
They got that so messed up making God seem so unloving, so unmerciful,and so unforgiving.they really need help just as bad like these rest.
@@nancy7104 there's still a chance because in The book of Revelation it talks about a huge multitude(tongues, languages,and nations etc)of people from all over the world wearing pure white clothes with palm branches in their hands so there might be a big chance that that's not a 144,000 right there; that's alot of people who repented and did better with their life.
nancy sabonjian same i was thinking , God wouldnt do that . would he . glad Allen cleated it
B. Baby yep
if you are taking about Jw,s, you are a liar. i love to read, there is a small book call, ''what the bible say'', after they gave me 3, on different times, i started to read it, and what that book says, make your words a blasfemy.
And yet false religion teach that God would burn people forever, and you say it's not loving for God to choose who to rule with Christ in heaven, bible speaks of 2 hopes, 1 is heaven,y and other is earthly , our home is earth, jehovah created it for us to enjoy , he didn't create it for nothing
@1:02 I don't even think they believe in a literal hell but annihilation.
Shaun Williams yes I corrected that above in my comment. I misrepresented. Thanks Shaun!
Thank you Pastor Parr for that bc I've always wondered about the teaching
I love this video. I addressed so many things that my 26-year-old son was confused about. Thank you so much!!!!
I grew up JW. Thanks for giving a biblical answer to someof the JW false doctrine. Yes, they don't believe in hell, they subscribe to soul sleep. I am a born again believer in Jesus Christ since 1990, praise the Lord!!!!
This is the video I’ve been waiting for! Thank you brotha🙏🏾

Great job brother!
Making some more truth based videos. Glad to see you back at it Allen. Been watching for over a year now and love to see you do your thing; and living out the will of God for your life.
Truth? No way, he's just plain out wrong!
except everything he said here is wrong so......maybe check information?
It’s funny how they still used this concept to this very day. I don’t understand why they don’t see that this can’t be possible.
Always a blessing to see you my friend! 🤍
Good job, pastor Allen. Keep up the good wor. I have learned from you being a pastor myself. God bless.
Dr. B
I'm very happy I accepted Lord Jesus when I was kid I love Lord Jesus very much and God too. I love your video
Very informative video. 😌
I have a question though. So what’s going to be happening on the new Earth and who will inhabit it?
You seem to have an answer to all my questions.I am really glad you do these videos.
This is my first time thank you sir this is what I needed 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Amazing, informative video, Allen! Thanks for this video. I grew up in a false church that also said only 144,000 people are going to heaven, and I knew that that wasn’t true.
It is true it's just people refuse to accept it. people only accept what they want to believe and reject what they don't want to believe but the reality is Jesus only chose a few to rule with him as Kings and Persist those who are part of the first resurrection
Revelation 20:6 Happy and holy is anyone having part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of the Christ, and they will rule as kings with him for the 1,000 years. This group is known as the little flock at Luke 12:32
@@DM-rh4ev Thank you! Christian churches teach Heaven as if it's some type of party. Think about it. Somebody dies and the first comment someone makes is "See you in Heaven". This person could have killed, lied, raped. They don't know what that person did. Heaven is serious business. It's an eternity. God called for trustworthy, faithful believers who done His will to be in Heaven. The truth is that most Christians don't have these characteristics. The truth is if most Christians ended up in Heaven, there would be a million demons casted right back down.
The Lords prayer
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven
Thanks sooo much .. all this time I’ve been thinking that I must at least try to be part of the 144000 people who go to heaven . But now knowing that the number is large I am actually glad
He's wrong!

No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven-the Son of Man. if you mean ANGELS then yes...angels are not people.
1, you cant try to be one of the 144,000 and 2, the people who are part of the 144,000 already know they are, and they certainly arent on the internet watching nonsense like this. the 144,000 already know in their heart that they've been spiritually chosen. its not a question.

Thank you Allen Love this message. I have a witness I, worked with at work That I used to talk about the Bible with. Sadly to, say he passed away a few months ago while racing his motorcycle on a race track. I was hoping to plant a seed in him of God's true, nature.
Great video, Allen!
Revelation 7:4, "And I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred and forty-four thousand sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel."
Revelation 14:1, "Then I looked, and behold, the Lamb was standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His name and the name of His Father written on their foreheads."
Revelation 14:3, " And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders; and no one could learn the song except the one hundred and forty-four thousand who had been purchased from the earth."

I dont call bashing the jw encouraging.
thank you brother for explaining that. i love the way you break down the word. awesome sauce lol 😊👍👊👆
Makes you wanna ask "then why are you people advertising!???" 😂 you'd think the objective is to have only 144k Jehovas Witnesses.
That’s not the reason why we preach. It was what Jesus commanded all true followers to do as stated at Matthew 28:19,20. Only a small group chosen by God will go to heaven and corule with Christ Jesus. The majority of mankind will have the hope of living forever on earth. (Psalm 37:29)
>be Jehovah's witnesses
>believe only 144000 will go to heaven
>8 million people declare themselves as Jehovah's witnesses

They believe
They will inherit the earth
They believe Jesus is Michael the archangel
Patrick Junior. They also believe Jesus was just a regular man.
@@donjon2023 Jesus was born from virgin Mary by holy spirit Matthew 1:18-21... So yeah, he did become a man and he died for our sins. The thing is... The JWs believe before Jesus became flesh, he was already a spirit being or angel in the heavens and he fought off Satan the dragon, and Satan was cast out of the heavens. The bible says It was Michael the archangel who fought Satan, knowing Michael is Jesus. Thats what the JWs believe.
Patrick Junior Well, if Jesus is the Son of God and He was begotten of God, then that means that some of who He is, is holiness. We believe He is a man because He was born by a virgin human mother. By His birthright He inherited the Holy nature of His father and thus, is God. When the Bible refers to God, it is referring to the great “I AM”. Meaning, that name isn’t simply a name for God but a decisive description of exactly who He is. Christ himself even adhered to that name yet He is Gods son. Notice I haven’t even touched on the truck load of scripture that supports Christ’s deity.
Yay you're back!!
Mr. Octodood yeah I took a week off! Glad to be back!
Thank you for making this, God bless you.
I can't THANK YOU enough for this video brother Allen!!!! 😃😃😃 Good bless you!!! I don't know how many times I've gotten into healthy VERY richh discussions with J.W.'s (not angry discussions) about this very topic. So glad you did this study!!!!

I'm happy to be able to live on paradise earth.
Sadly the JWs that I've been in contact with say the bible is in error or mistranslated and therefore cannot be a viable source for the claims you mentioned. How do we convince someone that the bible is a viable source when they do not believe it?
You can’t that’s for God to do
You're a liar..
JW cannot give you such an excuse
Great stuff brother Allen... tku AMEN
Thank you for this insight!
They believe there are 2 ways to enjoy life after Armageddon. They believe the 144,000 will do works with God while everyone else is stay on earth., in Paradise as the Garden of Eden was.
Is there something wrong with that?
Yes, something is very wrong with that concept of only 144000 will go to heaven the rest must reside on paradise earth. This kind of teaching shows how selfish and arrogant some people can be. Whoever came with that interpretation must be an arrogant person...and I have seen that a lot in the JW cult. who are you to go heaven? Charles Talze RUSSEL yes is entitled to go to heaven... Rutherford....yes . David splane yes even that drunker name Antony Morris will go to heaven... to do what? To be Prince and king with Jesus so they can't lose their job they have to continue shepherd the flock from heaven.... right? What a silly concept.. it just laughable😃😃😃😃😃😃😋
@@mabilenepoulard7625 If you knew scripture, then you wouldn't be laughing. Sadly many of you don't know scripture, but rely on people like Mr. Parr to teach you. Next, get away from (they say) the real question is,...what does scripture say! Jesus said, there are many invited, but only (few chosen) he also said (only few) are finding the road that leads to everlasting life. The one word, that you and these church leaders keep missing is the word (few). Go to a dictionary,...check what few means! Then ask yourself, if a specific number of a 144,000 people are mentioned, who match Jesus own words, of only (few chosen),... then how can that 144,000 people, (plus an additional) number of people, who are said to be a (number, which no man can number) ,...well do the math! How can both groups, possibly equal the word (few)? Furthermore, if everyone goes to Heaven,...then how does (scripture) fulfill, God's promise, that The Meek shall inherit The Earth? Lastly, (I understand Parr, because I thought like him,... he reasoning with, being before the thrown, which is in Heaven. Cool, understandable, ...but yet, does God need to be here on Earth, in order for him to know what's going on here? Of course not,.. he's fully aware of all that's happening with us here! Yet, he's still in Heaven! Therefore, from his thrown, he can see a greater number on The Earth, ...after all, that scripture, (The Meek inheriting The Earth) must be fulfilled somehow! Again, Jesus, said only few are chosen. Final point, unlike what church leaders teach,... Heaven wasn't meant for Humans! Even Jesus said, no one has ever gone to Heaven! Yet, church leaders are teaching false doctrine! They teach, people die, then go to Heaven! Yet, how? The Resurrection has not happened yet! Still church leaders teach this, even though, Jesus said no one has ever gone to Heaven, and yet, Jesus disciples, (they are the very first people) who was ever offered to chance to go. So unless you people say, that Jesus is lying...this going to Heaven, was never the norm! Yet, those going,..are going for major reasons, (not to be just chillin with the lord) but to rule, with Christ, as kings and priest! (So it's not about they say) but, what scripture says!
@@mrg466 well, no need to do the math. No need to know or even understand the scriptures. If it's the case to have 2 groups with different hope, then Jesus/ Jehovah must be very PARTIAL. And this is why many people who left the Watchtower organisation become atheists. Now ask yourself that question if you have to choose between living on paradise earth and go to paradise in heaven which one would you choose? It seems you are serving a God/Jehovah who doesn't give you a chance to choose but he is just telling you/the great crowd or the mass will be living on paradise earth . So in that case God/ Jehovah/ he is not only Partial he is also a DICTATOR.
Watchtower wants to compare God's kingdom/ heaven to a human kingdom. With Princes govern over the crowd. That can NEVER be the case that is simply human beings (Rusell,Rutherford) misinterpretation of the Bible. and this is no laughing matter. John 3:16 did not make any distinction of everlasting life.
@@mabilenepoulard7625 No need to understand scripture? Why? Scripture is God's word, is it not? I said nothing about Charles Russell, The Watchtower, nor anything about JW! I said scripture! You mentioned the word partial! Well, Jesus said (chosen). Therefore in that case, it is partial! Furthermore, not everyone wants to go to Heaven! The Earth was given to us! Wether you want to go to Heaven, ...it not going to matter, because Jesus is the one with the say so or not, he chooses who's to be there! Again, stop with the nonsense, and go ahead and read whatever Bible you choose! Prove my words wrong by scripture! Prove that everyone is going to Heaven! Prove that the Bible doesn't say, that The Meek shall inherit The Earth! Prove that Jesus didn't say, you are (chosen), and prove that he didn't say (few), prove all the things I stated aren't in scripture! If you aren't able to back up your words with scripture, then your words are like smoke, ..no weight!
Amen brother Allen thank you for the message. The JWs also believe Jesus is Michael the archangel as well.
Amen brother Patrick
🤷🏻♀️The scriptures are clear. His name is Jesus not Michael, He’s greater than Angels. He said “I am the first and last” and “Alpha and Omega” not an Angel that’s God 👑. Revelation 1:17-18 Revelation 22:13

Thank you so much, i have a debate later this week and i had no idea what they were talking about with the 144000 people
Can you do a what Jehovah Witnesses believe video compare to Christianity?
And you call this Christianity? True Christians, are no part of the world! True Christians are doing what Jesus said to do! Jesus said, go and preach all the things he commanded! Read Matt 24:14, there's only one group doing that! What kingdom? Read Daniel 2:44. Who's preparing people for that kingdom? Jesus also said, his followers will be hated, because they are no part of the world! He also said the world will hate and say all sorts of lies about his followers! Yeah, people will call themselves Christians, yet none of them do what Jesus said to do! All talk, no action! Just what Christians are following the command at Matt 28:19, 20? Yet, you want to ask so called Christians to make you a video? Tell you what, get a Bible, and a chart, read every command you can find, write down the do's and the do not do's and make a column, one side JW, the other, the ones you believe in. Put a check mark on whoever is doing what scripture says, and also, for who are not doing, what it says not to do. Then see for yourself, who's really Christians.
@Justin Durham I came from false religion, therefore I can say, what your thinking about Jesus return, isn't what JW are talking about, and you got them wrong, just as much as they got you wrong, because actually both sides are really on two different subjects,...the other things you are speaking of, I am unfamiliar with.
@Justin Durham Please correct me if I'm wrong as you have already stated, but your talking about Christ return, coming in the clouds ect right? If so, then that's not what JW are talking about, like I said, it two different things on both sides! Because that event hasn't happened yet, nor are JW claiming that it did! The 1914 thing has to do with something totally different. But, it has to do with a prophecy in Daniel. It is not, the same as what (I think) you mean.
@Justin Durham ..and you feel that joining in with these worldly religions is a better choice? I'm not saying they are 100% correct on all things, but really man?
@Justin Durham ... and you know they will use the same scriptures to speak against this teachings!
“12,000 Jews from each of the 12 tribes…”
Wait, what???
Don't worry not literal Jews or Israel but the spiritual ones Christians
pastor denzel is a joke. first, where does the bible say, 12 ,000 jews from each tribe. another thing, thru abraham Allmighty God, ''we all now his name'', he promise abraham, all nations of earth will be bless. so the 12 tribes, became the representation of JEHOVAH on earth. because of israelites gave their backs to God, he allowed to end his representation to fall, and allow babilon to conquer the country israel. then, the seven times''periods'', of earth., then even romans enslaved those poltical israelites. and then, GOD send his son. and the old pact ended. we are now at the mercy of God by the price JESUS paid. so there are still a number of chosen ones thru all the world.. all nation will be bless,and have the priviledge of eternal life. so when pastor washington say all of them are juice, he's got it wrong.
the 12 sons of jacob, well known as israel. spiritual israel. not to bu confused with the land,or state
Thx Bro .. I Love all these videos
Recently subscribed. I really enjoy your work in Christian apologetics.
Some verses, like the ones in proverbs, or the ones that start a book (John 1:1, Genesis 1:1, etc) are completely fine "out of context", or as standalone verses, but MOST verses DON'T work by themselves, at least not in a fully satisfying way (like the ones in proverbs do). The more popular the verse, I have found, the more likely it is to be taken out of context, or to have actually been used in a way that is the exact opposite of what it meant in the first place.
The world's most popular verse in the Christian world John 3:16, is sadly, out of context through translation, as the word "believe" in the Greek doesn't even really mean what "believe" does in English, and is often used out of context to buff up easy believism/demon believism (see James 2;19). The word believe is said much differently than it's heard. If the entire Bible was read first, without verses, then the English word "believe" would make a lot more sense in the context of everything else read in the light of the other scriptures.
The world's most popular verse among non-christians is Matthew 7:1 "Judge not that ye may not be judged." A verse against judgment. Little do they know, verses 2-6 actually command Christians to use generic judgment, the kind they used the verse to run away from. This is another case where the out of context verse was a full 180 degrees of what was meant. Not only are we not supposed to not judge, but we ARE supposed to judge. Matthew 7:1 was talking about Unique Judgment of heaven/hell. The measure you use will be used against you.
The world's most popular verse in the sporting world is Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me." People use this verse to play sports better. If you read Philippians 1-5 you will notice it can't really be used like that at all. Paul was in jail having a really hard time when he said that.
Another very popular verse in the Christian world is Jeremiah 29:11, and that is also out of context completely. People use this verse like it has a %1 chance of it referring to them, which, unlike other verses in scripture, it does not. It's a shame a verse like this can get popular, when there are many other verses that say the exact opposite of this.
Joel Osteen was quoted using Matthew 19:26 "With Christ, all things are possible" to get rich. This is ironic, since the verse in context was well... the EXACT opposite
"21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible." Matthew 19:21-26
See how context can change things?
You want to hear my heart as I believe the Holy Spirit revealed to me. None! Not one denomination is ever mention in the Bible. Therefore I follow none of denominational interpretations. I still gather with the brethrens but never follow all their practices. Eg taking biblically tithing and turning it into money which was only instructed for the Levites under the Levitical priesthood 2 speaking in tongues with no interpretations 3 Worshipping pastors and always believing what they say rather than Scriptures. And alot of other practices. Jehovah witness black Hebrews Pentecostals all man made.. like the Pharisees and Sadducees.. And what's more interesting they all read the same Bible and say they're all Christians hmmm. It's also good for me to call myself a disciple rather than a Christian. But then again love is the foundation knowledge puffs up but love vaunteth not itself and is kind. One love brethrens from around the world.. "For we see dimly as through a glass.. and we know in part" "But then shall we know"😇
