I was raised a Jehovah’s Witness. I left that cult, for ten years now. I believe in the triune God. I’m a born again Christian. May those lost find Christ.
It’s sad, but there are some JWs that walked away from that religion and became Christ follower. John 10:14 Jesus said, “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep, and they know me,” Matthew 13:9 Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.
@dannyortiz76, Exactly! What it boils down to is pride in a person trying to make his own way to God. The same thing was in Lucifer who is the devil Isaiah 14:12-17 The Fall of Lucifer.
Very true, it’s difficult to break free from the organizations control but it is possible with Gods Spirit. Hopefully he planted some doubt in the elder.
Thank you for saying that "we will still struggle with sin", because many people don't believe this. It helps the new believer understand that we still need Jesus every day! We can't just accept Jesus and keep sinning and think it's ok. When born again christians sin, it automatically makes us feel terrible and we know we've sinned, but we immediately ask for forgiveness and keep trying.
Galatians 5:17 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. The scripture makes it clear that there will be a struggle. But every Christian must also hold on to the understanding that we do have the power to overcome. So as long as we stay in the word and renew our minds daily, we sill start to produce fruits of righteousness and we will start to be more like christ. only if we abide in the vine.
Yes! Everyday I fight with my demons. Everyday I am wanting to get me a prostitute or a whore cuz my wife is terrible in bed. I have been fighting this for about 4 years. And it is NOT EASY
We can't do this Christian life w/o Jesus. We can't live for Him w/o having Him in our lives. Only way we can walk w Jesus is by staying close to Jesus. We can't abide in Him if we're distant from Him...and this is where the war w the flesh, the enemy, the world and the distractions of this life try to remove us from staying close to Jesus.
A parallel I commonly present to lordship salvation arguments when dealing with the path to our spiritual perfection/completion is the physical example of Israel and the promised land. Hebrews mentions that the old covenant and the law was a foreshadowing of a better covenant to come, so I don't take lightly the nature of our relational dynamic to God represented there as we in the new covenant are now adopted into that same sonship which God called Israel to. And just as the promised land was a physical inheritance for Israel that they could possess or be delayed/suspended from possessing depending on their faithfulness, so now the kingdom of God is the guaranteed inheritance of anyone in Christ to possess and experience based on whether they are humbly walking by the Spirit at any given moment. It is not merely the third heaven or eternal life, as evidenced by many instances where the kingdom of God/heaven is mentioned in the gospels and onward. Just like Israel, once we are adopted we never cease to be sons of our Father regardless of whether we are walking by the Spirit or by the flesh in our path. And as Jesus told Nicodemus, unless someone is born of the Spirit they are not even able to see the kingdom of God. But on the issue of dying to sin, there need be no extreme position of a Christian either never living in sin after conversion like the lordship salvation position argues or hopelessly stuck sinning until death like the JW elder here purports. The Holy Spirit has given any who He indwells the capacity to war against the flesh and prevail as often as we are of a right spiritual heart attitude toward Him, just as Israel prevailed against the Canaanites as often as they had the right spiritual heart attitude.

We are awake! I am afraid he is twisting scripture, we have sin, we will die, that is why Jesus died for everyone, he is trying to twist what Paul meant, Jesus died to pay back to God what Adam lost, that is why everyone who dies has his sins forgiven. Please read John 17 v 3
@@nigelmcculloch3746so if everyone who dieis forgiven, why did god say “not everyone calling me Lord” he says he knows? You must be IN Christ, not an organisation,

@@nigelmcculloch3746death does not forgive us of our sins. If that were the case, then what’s the point of Jesus’ death? Through Christ alone are we forgiven of our sins. Read the Bible, even the doctored NWT, and you would see that.
@@A1b1c1d1ee okay so Death came actually as a mercy. God immediately sent man out of the Garden before he eats from the tree of life and lives forever in the sinful state. Just imagine you fall of a ship in the middle of the ocean and plunge into the abyss now you are stuck drowning being eaten by crabs being burnt with hot volcanic lager spewing out and being crushed with the pressure of the deep yet unable to die. Imagine you were captured as a sex slave by a psychopath that tortures you like the movie saw. Death is a mercy to free you from that. Therefore you can see the need for Death in a sinful world. Now we all who are born must die in order to be resurrected into a new Body either into eternal condemnation or eternal life. There are exceptions Enoch walked with God and did not die. That explains why Death came. I'll answer the other statements in another comment Jesus Bless you 🙏
@@A1b1c1d1ee okay for your statements trinitarians don't claim God had to die. God doesn't have to do anything for us. He did it because he loves us yet we are unworthy. So as soon as sin entered God established animal sacrifice to atone for sin Because God is just only life can pay for life but as animals are blameless and not Sinless they can never be a true sacrifice. Therefore only a Sinless sacrifice can truly pay for life. God promised us a Sinless sacrifice who will come to save the World. The Messiah. Read the chapter Isaiah53 this is just verse 5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. Now this is the story of the Bible and the Jews have been doing animal sacrifices for remission of sins for thousands of years. I didn't make these rules God did and Jews have been following it. It stopped shortly after Jesus rose from the Dead. Christians don't feel the need to do the sacrifices because Jesus paid the ultimate price.
@@A1b1c1d1ee final part yes that Is correct God can't die, God is from everlasting. For Jesus the Flesh died but he conquered Death and rose his body from death. Jesus is everlasting that is why in Revelation 1:8 he calls himself the Alpha and Omega the beginning and the end, The Almighty.
@@A1b1c1d1ee Jesus said before Abraham was I AM (YAWEH) Jesus is claiming to be eternal and God at the Same time. In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. All things were made through him. The Word was made Flesh and dwelt among us.

Lol, the ones who suppress the truth are the trinity believers and those who confuse Jesus as Jehovah the Father. Matthew 4:10 the KJV uses Lord and references Deuteronomy 6:13 which very clearly uses LORD. LORD ALWAYS refers to Jehovah NEVER Jesus. So in you all minds (consciously unaware) you actually read Matthew 4:10 as ...worship Jesus thy God, and HIM ONLY shalt thou serve. We all know what Jehovah commands of us as even Jesus himself tells the Pharisees at Matthew 22:37 what the GREATEST command is.
@@MommaBear-ml5zx Hello, I believe in a fully human Jesus who's subordinate to Jehovah. These verses prove that Jesus was: Subject to the authority of Mary and Joseph (Luke 2:49) Experienced both hunger and thirst (Matthew 4:2; John 4:7; 19:28) Needed sleep (Matthew 8:24) Was tempted (Matthew 4:1-11; Hebrews 4:15) Said who touched me (Mark 5:30-32) Didn't know the hour of His return (Matthew 24:36) Worshipped His Father as God (John 4:21-22) Prayed to His Father in heaven (Matthew 26:39) Learned obedience (Hebrews 5:8) Temporarily made lower than the angels (Hebrews 2:9) Depended on Jehovah for teachings (John 14:24) and works (John 10:37) Jehovah is greater positionally (John 14:28) Jehovah is the head of Christ (1 Corinthians 11:3) And will deliver the kingdom to Jehovah (1 Corinthians 15:24-28) Do you agree with the above verses? I know you will disagree with the following. When you say Jehovah you're referring to “the Father”, when we say Jehovah we're referring to (depending on context) either the Father, Son or Holy Spirit as we believe in the nature of the one true God there are three distinct Persons. I'm willing to discuss that with you if you're willing?
@@MommaBear-ml5zx I don't think we're confused that Jesus is the Father. But He is YHWH. It's you guys who's confused... It's all written plainly in scripture. None of our interpretations count. Whenever you read in the prophets including Isaiah LORD is used in place of YHWH. So most assumed that indicates it's the Father speaking... Most assume it's the Father who Isaiah and Ezekiel saw when taken up in the Spirit. But according to the same John who walked with the Lord in John 12:34-41 he verifies that Isaiah saw Jesus in His glory. As I said in my comment above... It the Spirit of Christ who gives understanding, and there are too many religious sects who lack understanding which is why so many of you are divided and putting faith in the opinions and ideologies of men. Get filled with the Spirit and you'll understand the word rather than debating in ignorance...

We each are sentenced to death by our own sins. Jesus served my sentence for me and I can accept or reject his payment of my wages. If I reject his wages for my sin then I must pay my own wages. I'm thankful that God is so merciful and patient because I justified myself for decades.

Yes you should wake up to the truth. This man believes Jesus is calling himself God because Jesus used the words "I am". Jesus NEVER called himself God, man has done that. Jesus has called himself the Messiah, the Morning Star, and the Son of God, but NEVER God. Nor did he ever put himself at or above the Father Jehovah. Man has done that.
@@MommaBear-ml5zx Jesus and the Father are One, they're deity. When Jesus said "I Am" He proved that deity. He is God because He healed the sick, the blind, forgives sins, and He rose (bodily) from death on the third day all according to Scripture. He is the mediatior between us and the Father. And then there is John 1:1, 3. In the beginning was the Word (Jesus), and the Word (Jesus) was with God, and the Word (Jesus) was God. All things were made by Him (Jesus); and without Him was not anything made that was made. You see... God the Father created the world (Gen 1:1) through God the Son (Col 1:16; Heb 1:2). All creation was made through Jesus. Thus, He is the creator God. Even Rev 1:8 says the same thing.

This just happened to me a week ago! And I said, "Wait a second, romans 6, even chapters 6-9, are about justification, by means of the death of Christ. And they were explaining it as an escatology passage. They do that very often, they change the context of a passage all of a sudden, like in hebrews 1 and other places.

If physical death can free us from sin then: 1. why had the Lord Jesus to go calvary on the cross ? He just had to make all of us die and then resurrected us, free from any sin. 2. Why should the Lord say, he will judge the dead at the resurrection on the last day? That all don't make sense.
If I may answer you. 1. God was owed a perfect human life which is what was lost in Eden. So, Jesus fulfilled that role. He spilled his sinless human blood once for all time so we would now put our faith in him. 2. When a person dies today and before the last day, the condemned go to jail so to speak waiting to be judged when they will be sent to their eternal home in prison. When a believer dies today they go immediately to be with the Lord in what is called the third paradise. The don't yet receive their glorified body because the physical body is needed for that to happen to it (so to speak). That is why scripture says everyone will appear before the judgement seat of Christ (good and bad). Hope that helps you.
What did the Bible writers themselves say about the so called "cross" ? They used the Greek noun stau•rosʹ 27 times and the verbs stau•roʹo 46 times, syn•stau•roʹo (the prefix syn, meaning “with”) 5 times, and a•na•stau•roʹo (a•naʹ, meaning “again”) once. They also used the Greek word xyʹlon, meaning “wood,” 5 times to refer to the torture instrument upon which Jesus was nailed. Stau•rosʹ in both the classical Greek and Koine carries no thought of a “cross” made of two timbers. It means only an upright stake, pale, pile, or pole, as might be used for a fence, stockade, or palisade. Says Douglas’ New Bible Dictionary of 1985 under “Cross,” page 253: “The Gk. word for ‘cross’ (stauros; verb stauroo . . .) means primarily an upright stake or beam, and secondarily a stake used as an instrument for punishment and execution.” The fact that Luke, Peter, and Paul also used xyʹlon as a synonym for stau•rosʹ gives added evidence that Jesus was impaled on an upright stake without a crossbeam, for that is what xyʹlon in this special sense means. (Ac 5:30; 10:39; 13:29; Ga 3:13; 1Pe 2:24) Xyʹlon also occurs in the Greek Septuagint at Ezra 6:11, where it speaks of a single beam or timber on which a lawbreaker was to be impaled. The New World Translation, therefore, faithfully conveys to the reader this basic idea of the Greek text by rendering stau•rosʹ as “torture stake,” and the verb stau•roʹo as “impale,” that is, to fasten on a stake, or pole. In this way there is no confusion of stau•rosʹ with the traditional ecclesiastical crosses. The matter of one man like Simon of Cyrene bearing a torture stake, as the Scriptures say, is perfectly reasonable, for if it was 15 cm (6 in.) in diameter and 3.5 m (11 ft) long, it probably weighed little more than 45 kg (100 lb).-Mr 15:21. Note what W. E. Vine says on this subject: “STAUROS (σταυρός) denotes, primarily, an upright pale or stake. On such malefactors were nailed for execution. Both the noun and the verb stauroo, to fasten to a stake or pale, are originally to be distinguished from the ecclesiastical form of a two beamed cross.” Greek scholar Vine then mentions the Chaldean origin of the two-piece cross and how it was adopted from the pagans by Christendom in the third century C.E. as a symbol of Christ’s impalement.-Vine’s Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words, 1981, Vol. 1, p. 256. Significant is this comment in the book The Cross in Ritual, Architecture, and Art: “It is strange, yet unquestionably a fact, that in ages long before the birth of Christ, and since then in lands untouched by the teaching of the Church, the Cross has been used as a sacred symbol. . . . The Greek Bacchus, the Tyrian Tammuz, the Chaldean Bel, and the Norse Odin, were all symbolised to their votaries by a cruciform device.”-By G. S. Tyack, London, 1900, p. 1. The book The Non-Christian Cross, by J. D. Parsons (London, 1896), adds: “There is not a single sentence in any of the numerous writings forming the New Testament, which, in the original Greek, bears even indirect evidence to the effect that the stauros used in the case of Jesus was other than an ordinary stauros; much less to the effect that it consisted, not of one piece of timber, but of two pieces nailed together in the form of a cross. . . . It is not a little misleading upon the part of our teachers to translate the word stauros as ‘cross’ when rendering the Greek documents of the Church into our native tongue, and to support that action by putting ‘cross’ in our lexicons as the meaning of stauros without carefully explaining that that was at any rate not the primary meaning of the word in the days of the Apostles, did not become its primary signification till long afterwards, and became so then, if at all, only because, despite the absence of corroborative evidence, it was for some reason or other assumed that the particular stauros upon which Jesus was executed had that particular shape.”-Pp. 23, 24; see also The Companion Bible, 1974, Appendix No. 162.
Great job, brother, for once again courageously confronting false doctrine with the rightly divided Word of Truth. But what's so sad is that so many sincere JW members will end up dying in their sins, falsely believing their 'good works' will earn them the right to resurrection and eternal life on Judgement Day.
"If we died to sin, we can't sin." Not true. The JW man is trying to give his own interpretation. The verse means sin no longer enslaves us as it did before we were born again. Now we have the power of the Holy Spirit to reject sin and He enables us to resist temptation and do what is right
What they don't get is that from a biblical standpoint, death is supposed to be eternal. The wages for sin is that you die and remain dead eternally. If a sinner is ever raised up from death then his punishment is undone and his liability for past sin returns. If we don't look at death that way two problems arise. 1. Death becomes victorious. There is a passage or scripture where Paul, speaking of the resurrection, says/quotes: "Death were is your victory? Where is your sting?". His point was that the resurrection defeats death. But if death's purpose is realized even if a sinner is dead but for a fleeting moment and is resurrected, then death always wins. Thus Paul's words indicate that for death to serve its true purpose it must be eternal - the sinner must remain dead perpetually. 2. No need for a ransom. If a sinner's sins are acquitted by being dead for a mere finite period of time, then there is no need for Jesus' sacrifice. All God's faithful worshippers will inevitably die. God can just let them die naturally and raise them up afterward, free of sin, no ransom needed. That's the obvious implication of JWs' teaching. And a ransom still wouldn't be needed as a basis to resurrect the dead because God didn't need a random sacrifice as a basis for creating Adam and Eve in the first place and the resurrection is essentially the re-creating of a person. In context, Romans 6:7 isn't about death cleaning your slate of past sins. It's about death immobilizing you that you cannot sin. It's actually talking about death literally freeing you from sin's power to control you - to make you sin. Paul is taking this literal truth about death and applying it spiritually by telling his readers that since they died spiritually then they should likewise not allow themselves to be controlled by sin just as a literally dead person is uncontrollable by sin.
Contrary to popular opinion, Christ will not judge those who are resurrected on the basis of their past sins, many of which may have been committed in ignorance. The Bible explains that at death a person is set free or released from any sins he committed. It says: “He who has died has been acquitted from his sin.” (Romans 6:7) This means that when a person is resurrected he will be judged according to what he does during Judgment Day, not on the basis of what he did before he was resurrected. Judgment Day, therefore, is not a literal 24-hour day. It will be 1,000 years long. It is the same 1,000-year period during which Christ and his associate kings will rule over redeemed mankind. (Revelation 20:4, 6) During this time people will work together toward making the earth a paradise. In due time the dead will be welcomed back to life on earth.-Luke 23:43.
I used to be a Catholic then I become a Oneness believers more than 10 years now. I feel very blessed how The Lord Jesus change my life and my faith become more stronger 🙏❤️
@@kubiyoshi2744 I’ve been there brother. Open your Spiritual eye and heart to Jesus. Ang BUHAY na DYOS ay hindi makikita sa REBULTO. Hate na hate ng PANGINOONG HESUS yan. Pag papa kumbaba kay HESUS ang sagot sa mga maling turo ng mga simbahang katoliko. Si Hesus ang ONLY SAVIOR natin, THE WAY. THE TRUTH and THE LIFE. Read your BIBLE (GAWA 2:38) (Leviticus 26:1)
Acts 4:27 Peter and John praying to Jehovah: For truly both Herod and Pontius Pilate with men of the nations and with peoples of Israel were gathered together in this city against YOUR HOLY SERVANT JESUS, whom YOU [Jehovah] ANOINTED,
@@demanitorres5925 If Jesus is Jehovah why Jesus said JEhovah is his LORD quoting Exodus 3? Luke 20:37 Jesus said [quoting Exodus 3]: But that the dead are raised up, even Moses made known in the account about the THORNBUSH, when he calls Jehovah "the LORD" ‘the God of Abraham and God of Isaac and God of Jacob.’ 38 He.. is a God, not of the dead, but of the living, for they are all living to HIM Exodus 3:4 When Jehovah saw that he went over to look, God called to him out of the THORNBUSH and said: “Moses! Moses!” to which he said: “Here I am.” (..) 6 He went on to say: “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” Then Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at THE TRUE GOD. Isaiah saw the glory of Jehovah the LORD Jesus his son worship.
@@demanitorres5925 IF Jesus said The God of Abraham is his LORD, Isaiah saw the glory of who? Matthew 16:16 Simon Peter answered [To Jesus]: “You are the Christ, the SON.. of THE LIVING GOD.” Jeremiah 10:10 But Jehovah is truly God. HE IS... - THE LIVING GOD - and the eternal King. Because of his indignation the earth will quake, And no nations will endure his denunciation. John 17:3 Jesus said praying to Jehovah: This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.
@@Thlastday00 Jesus being in the form of a bondservant would rightly call the father Lord or God, phillipians 2 explains this. jerimiah 32:27 makes it clear if you are in the flesh you have a God. Jesus calling the father God doesn't disqualify him from being that same God, Deuteronomy 6:4 uses the word echad for one, Genesis 2:24" they shall become one flesh". Same principle of compound unity, just as Two humans can be considered one flesh two divine persons can be considered one God or one Jehovah. Eve was also called Adam but distinct from Adam, just as Jesus can be called God but distinct from God and subordinate just as Eve was subordinate to God.
Blessings brother, God promises his word never returns empty, the seed has been planted now it’s the job of The Holy Spirit of God to shake him loose from the the blinding lies of the devil, only The Spirit of The Living God can make that happen!!!
Thank you for reaching the Muslim community only a Muslim, who became a Christian can truly talk to a Muslim and in so much as they can understand! thank you again and God bless you.
And the artwork in every publication is demonic. KristyAnn has a channel where she has a couple of videos with compilations of the occultic images. Very interesting.
You mean like how watch tower in Tarot or something? See that seems a bit too far. All societies have watch towers. We need to be careful with our biasses and going down rabbit holes of dark fascinations. Like the pledge of allegiance was created by some really questionable dudes and had the Hitler salute before Hitler stole it. Doesn't mean all people who say the pledge and think it's patriotic are bad and doing a bad thing because the phrase, under God is there to mean God willing and the pledge doesn't supercede allegiance to God and His will. Division is the tool of Satan, the Accuser, so let's be careful on both sides and focus on the Word and God and Christ's Good News please
@@amandachilds5290 No, not like a watchtower...more like demons, devils, and phallic symbols. The "watchtower" is the least of it. Also in their "kids" programming, the "Caleb and Sophia" series, they use MANY symbols promoting child grooming. These symbols are used by pedophiles around the world. The FBI has database of these symbols and their meanings. These symbols are found in all of the Watchtower publications and productions made for "children." These symbols are a welcome mat for predators, with assurance they will be protected.
@@amandachilds5290no, that's not what I'm saying. Focusing on the Word is how I learn everything. There is nothing new under the sun, in other words everything that exists has always existed from the beginning. The enemy has always been within the gates. Who procured all the gold, silver and materials for David's palace and Solomon's temple? From the phoenicians(canaanites) of tyre, the royal high priest bloodline of Jezebel. The money changers and merchants that Jesus expelled from the temple are the same ones that nehemiah threw out. The prophets say they had more gold than dirt. We know that the second beast in Daniel(medo-persia) had many princes within it's empire from Egypt to India. So when the 3rd beast under Alexander sacked tyre, did the phoenician trade routes, maritime law and money changers and idol worship cease to exist? Obviously not, because of all of Paul's letters to the churches within some of their wealthiest port cities like Ephesus. Today they have satellites and the internet and many names in many languages but their symbols remain the same.
The key is that one must receive the free gift of Jesus. The problem is that many reject the free gift of Jesus, and those who reject His gift will not be acquitted from their sins.
My mother in-law is a JW and when I read her passages about hell she says it’s symbolic and then I read her the story where the rich man went to hell and he wanted Lazarus to dip his finger in the water so he could put it on the tip of his tongue and he was told they could cross to him even if they wanted too so he then asked if they would go and tell his brothers about this place of torment and they said “no, they wouldn’t believe anyone from the dead if they don’t believe Moses or the prophets.” And of course she said this was also symbolic smh. I’m still working on her and praying for her and those that believe Charles Taze Russell instead of Jesus Christ.
Thank you brother for two large points… 1. Yes, Christians aren’t perfect, but we aren’t finished growing and we have a promise that He will complete in us the good work that He started - Philippians 1:6. Notice that He started it and He will complete it. Our salvation is a gift not a reward of our works - Ephesians 2:8-9 2. The false teaching of Romans 6:7 - again with patience and love you explained well the correct teaching of all of Romans 6. Let us continue to pray that the seed sown break through the rocky places of their hearts and minds to produce the good fruit of salvation. Lord Jesus, in Your holy name, continue working through our brother Hossein and bring forth salvation in these witnesses’ life. Amen!
I thank the Lord for raising you up brother to bring the Truth to JWs'....they are decieved. My husband has been a staunch JW for over fifty five years. I am praying and believing he will SEE and recieve Jesus Christ as GOD his Savior. That's the big deception and lie the enemy has sown within the hearts of these people. God bless you brother as you do the will of the Father and continue your ministry to plant those seeds of truth within them. My prayers and love are with you and your family.❤
who will give the kingdom to Jesus? Luke 1:32 Jesus will be great and will be called Son of the Most High, and Jehovah God will give him the throne of David
Oh my goodness... I am so glad you are all watching this channel. I pray for all JW's. Keep watching this channel and you will learn that Jesus is the Truth and you will be set free. He whom the Son sets free is free indeed....John 8:36. Jesus said in John 10:7-10 that he is the door and if any man enters in by him they shall be saved, and shall go in and out and find pasture. Jesus said I am the Way the Truth and the Life, no man comes to the Father but by me... John 14:6. John 10 :1-30...I and my Father are One. They are one God...there is only one God. That is why in the next several verses the Jewish leaders in that day tried to stone Jesus because in John 10 verse 33 Jesus declared himself to be God. In verse 37 Jesus said believe this that the Father is in me and I am in the Father. John 3:16... For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son. The Strongs concordance meaning of "only begotten" means only born child. Jesus was the only one who was begotten or born out of our Father...meaning he was in and with the Father before he was concieved within Mary by the Holy Spirit. All humans and angels are created by God....angels and humans are not begotten or born out of our Father God. Only Jesus Christ the Son of God was born out of Jehovah God our Father. I pray for you all that our Father will take the scales off of your eyes and you will find the Greatest Gift ever given to the world....Jesus Christ of Nazareth. He came to me and visited me 6 years ago and I belong to Him now. I love the Father and the Son and am filled with the Holy Spirit. I now walk according to Galatians 2:20 where Paul said... I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. How could a mere created angel be worthy to be the blood sacrifice for the sins of the world? Only Jesus, the perfect spotless lamb of God, who was begotten of God the Father could be that perfect sacrifice...because He and his Father are One. I pray Truth will be given to each one of you and you will come to know the Son...Jesus Christ as your Savior and Redeemer and the lover of your souls.❤️
the weird part is that the apostles preach in acts 3-5 that Jehovah resurrected Jesus and people that supposedly believe in Jesus now a days are incapable of seeing truth
Did you notice that the JW woman was not interested at all in what the young man had to say. At first, she did get her phone out like she was looking up the website, but then her focus was broken and started looking at people on the street and not not paying attention, at one point she took off her gloves, ect...It was all an "act". The JW man however was very attentive to the conversation.
Greetings my brother! That statement he made is insane!!!! Scripture say’s Thou are without excuse! Death does not pay for anyone’s sin , Jesus death on the tree pays for sin not alone. JESUS! PAID IT ALL!!! Hallelujah!! Thank You Jesus!!! Thank you ! Brother! God blessed!
Your approach is good, which allows you to engage in biblical discussion ( looking at the text...).It is good that the Jehovah's Witness listened to some biblical rather than the regular " spiritual food " from the Watchtower cult.
Well done brother, you know there’s a psychological thing with lot of people called CONFIRMATION BIAS if a person believe something, they will always lean towards what they believe and discard anything else that goes against it
@@MommaBear-ml5zx well that's possible but why can't you see that the JWs do as well. Are they immune to confirmation bias? I think it's that certain personality types tend to be drawn to certain sects or denominations is all. I think the JWs are pure and simple people and the ones I knew personally did not do well in school in literary analysis and things like motifs and themes and allegorical plot points that authors admitted they intentionally put into works and discussed. They acted like that artistic and deeper point was not real or just a coincidence or people reading too much into things. They just had a different POV or blind spot that even the author himself or herself couldn't convince them existed and was planned out and there. Lol. So yeah, they do that with the Bible too. They read the greatest work of literature in a way that limits the scope and profound depths the Author of the Universe may have intended for others to see and respond to. God speaks to all of us on our level but even Proverbs says it is Glory of God to conceal a thing and duty/ honor and privilege of kings to search it out...and hopefully reveal it. We are all those kings as joint heirs in Christ and thus, HE is the KING of all us kings who are instructed to search the Word out and know Jesus Christ because He is the Word made flesh. I see they both can be right because what happens in natural/ physical world happens also in the spiritual realm and to fulfill the spiritual Jesus Christ had to do it and fulfill it in physical/ natural world first. And they cycle and that is one of God's bigger precepts or laws and Jesus admits He didn't come to destroy the Law but to fulfill it fully. That's what all this means. They can both be right but Paul, in context to those whom he is writing to, really is trying to convey what this short man is saying to the JWs. However that doesn't mean that they are wrong with their understanding completely. It means each has a different angle on the same object they are trying to see. Basically God just wants you to keep looking at that object and seeing it from all the vantage points and more will be revealed as you age and as you get to know Him deeper and more intimately. Our eyes, like Paul's, will be able to adjust and focus and see more the more we search and look at that's exactly how we are to study God's word and encourage each other. That object is the Fruit we should consume and the opposite of the one Adam and Eve got distracted by and brought up on this curse that Christ Jesus, Immanuel, Yeshua, reversed. Jesus never lost sight and kept his eyes on the prize and we should follow His example and be grateful for it. Be well and blessed and may the Fruits of the Spirit abide in you and yours.
@@nigelackroyd7991 no, because the early church fathers (who was learning directly from the apostles that saw Christ) believed in the trinity: Ignatius of Antioch (c. 35-108 AD): Ignatius, an early Christian bishop and martyr, wrote extensively on Christian theology. In his letters, he emphasized the divinity of Christ and the unity of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Justin Martyr (c. 100-165 AD): Justin was an early Christian apologist who defended Christianity against pagan accusations. He referred to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as distinct persons within the divine unity. His works contributed to the early development of Trinitarian thought. Irenaeus (c. 130-202 AD): Irenaeus was a bishop and theologian who opposed Gnostic teachings. He stressed the importance of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in the economy of salvation and argued against various heresies that undermined the unity of God. Tertullian (c. 155-240 AD): Tertullian, a North African theologian, coined the term "Trinity" (Latin: Trinitas) and extensively wrote on the nature of God. He articulated the concept of three distinct persons in one substance, contributing significantly to the early formulation of Trinitarian doctrine. Athanasius (c. 296-373 AD): Athanasius, a prominent bishop of Alexandria, played a key role in the Nicene Council. He staunchly defended the Nicene Creed, which affirms the divinity of Christ and the Holy Spirit. His writings were crucial in combating the Arian heresy, which denied the full deity of Christ.
@@nigelackroyd7991 This believer was once a Muslim, and once denied all the things that has now been revealed to him by the Father through the revelation of Jesus Christ It can't be a bias if he's letting the scripture speak for itself, but because of preconceived ideologies, indoctrination & unbelief, those who see, see not, who hear, hear not & neither understand. Their love is for a lie being perpetuated by blind men rather than the eternal truth of God.
I and my Father are one .John 10.30 .He who has seen Me has seen the Father John 14.9 . And Thomas answered and said to Him, my Lord and my God John 20. 28.
My ex husband has re-joined JW and he is messaging myself and my kids asking if there is any messages we would like to give our son who passed when he gets resurrected. It took my kids years to get over the trauma of being a JW and he's now doing this. Emotional blackmail to go back. It will never happen 😡
Love the videos. Haven't had as many run ins with JW as I have with Muslims and black Hebrew Israelites, but the Lord is definitely equipping His elect with the true understanding of the word. It's funny that they don't believe that Jesus is God when Paul specifically said He is in Romans 9:5. Also they assume that YHWH is simply referring to the father. But who did Isaiah see who was high and lifted up? Who did Ezekiel see in a similar vision to Isaiah's? Well according to John 12:34-41, while speaking of Jesus he mentions Isaiah's account of Him. When these prophets saw God in His glory while in the Spirit they saw Jesus. Out of our well known prophets, Daniel is the only one who mentions them both (Ancient of Days and the Son of Man in Daniel 7). And who is Malachi, Joel and Zechariah speaking of who will come down and judge on the Day of the Lord? The same Jesus in Revelation who says, I'm coming soon! What people have to understand is that no man has Ever seen God (the Father), but Jesus is the image of the invisible God (Colossians 1:15). We must also remember what Jesus said in Matthew 11:15...All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him. So not everyone has been given the revelation... Yeshua is YHWH!
Mixed up people! So many just Satan is after the true people of hehovah so what should we expect? Us witnesses are prepared for ridiculesrs! Look! We have people working against jehovahs people websites teaching haters f jehovahs people trying to convert us as we stand firm in the truth! On our own conscience not being controlled!
You quoted Colossians 1: 15 He is the image of the invisible God....... And the next words say " the first - born of creation" . And if Jehovah is the Ancient of Days as you say. And Jesus is the Son of man. Jehovah is described as on the throne in heaven , whilst Jesus is nearby. So how are they one and the same? These are two with a close relationship, but Jehovah has greater power. And the authority Jesus has , was given to him. You quote the verse yourself. " All things have been given to me by my Father..........." Matthew 11: 27
@@janetgillespie6590 Christ has all authority in heaven and on earth because the Father is faithful... "And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was." Jn.17:5 Christ set aside His glory and power, took on the form of a man, and came as a servant. Of course the Father and the Son are not the same person, nothing like that can be found in scripture, all Christians know the difference between Father and Son. It seems those in false religion are most confused between Father and Son.
@@mattmurdock2868 No I am not confused. This is clear to me. But there are many who are teaching this now. And they are teaching ones from other religions . I am relieved that you do not believe it.
Thank you for loving God and sharing your light. Truth is all that matters. We were once Jws but left the organization many years ago. We now understand the Grace of God and truly have a love for our King. God bless you and thank you for continuing to help in the cause of Sharing the news about the Kingdom of Yahweh
Contrary to popular opinion, Christ will not judge those who are resurrected on the basis of their past sins, many of which may have been committed in ignorance. The Bible explains that at death a person is set free or released from any sins he committed. It says: “He who has died has been acquitted from his sin.” (Romans 6:7) This means that when a person is resurrected he will be judged according to what he does during Judgment Day, not on the basis of what he did before he was resurrected. Judgment Day, therefore, is not a literal 24-hour day. It will be 1,000 years long. It is the same 1,000-year period during which Christ and his associate kings will rule over redeemed mankind. (Revelation 20:4, 6) During this time people will work together toward making the earth a paradise. In due time the dead will be welcomed back to life on earth.-Luke 23:43.
I talked with an elder Jehova's Witness every Wednesday for over a year, pointing out the issues with the NWT, the many false prophecies the organization is founded upon, the misinterpretation of scripture, etc. I eventually asked him, With all that we have discussed, and all the errors within your organization, would you ever leave? He replied, I will never leave.
My wife and I are presently talking with and praying for a 60 year old jw couple we meet with each Thursday. They were both born into jw families and by all appearances,... they are unphased by any of the errors, false teachings, false prophecies, wilful deceit, etc, ad nauseam. Truly, only God can water the seeds we sow,... His will,... not ours. What we have found edifying is the reality that my wife and I effort and endeavor with them because we are filled with the Holy Spirit,... and we are so full of gratitude, humility and thankfulness for the undeserved Mercy and Grace our Father has gifted us,... we are compelled because He first loved us,... so completely and unimaginably,... that He gave Himself as a ransom through Jesus Christ! Yet,... conversely,... our jw acquaintances are clearly not involved with us out of a genuine love or concern,... but only making sure they rack up enough points, accumulate enough accolades, etc, through "works",... so as to eventually score 1st, 2nd, 3rd class tickets,... to God's reward! Ultimately,... when we are together,.... my wife and I are engaged in "loving". They,... on the other hand,... are engaged in "working". This dynamic was not so obvious until we began meeting with them,... but it certainly makes one absolutely overwhelmed with gratitude in being born again through Christ Jesus! Thank you for your comment. I expect we need to encourage one another,... and thankfully,... there are MANY testimonies of jw deliverances. They often remind my wife and I that all are redeemable through God's will. Amen.
Hard to understand the JW viewpoint here. Seems like he agrees with you but is sticking with what the website says just because it’s from the JW website. But he doesn’t really have an answer or understanding.
I really like that you are bringing the True message of Christ to the WATCHTOWER. I hope you continue in this brother. I too created a flyer using their verses as compared to the word of God. And i was handing out these flyers that cross examin what they believe in and what the word of God says verse by verse. Can i send you a copy brother?
The Greek phrase "ego eimi" in John 8:24 and John 8:58 (and elsewhere in the Bible) translates to English as "I am the one" (the Messiah), or "I am he." The context always indicates what the phrase "ego eimi" points to. "I AM" in uppercase Is a MISTRANSLATION. It changes the common Greek expression to a proper noun and misleads people to believe it is a name for God. It's not. "ego eimi is never used as a name for God in the Bible. "That is why I said to you that you will die in your sins. For unless you believe that I am the one, you will die in your sins.” I am the one; I am the Messiah; I am he; are all correct translations because this verse refers to Jesus as being the Messiah. "I AM" in uppercase letters is an error. The KJV and other translations do not have I AM in John 8:24. The NKJV reads "I am he" and the meaning according to the context is "I am the Messiah." If you think this slight of handwork of the NKJV translators in John 8:58 points to YHWH in Exodus 3:14 you are wrong because NOWHERE in the Bible is the Greek "ego eimi" used as a name for YHWH. The KJV translators gave no reason for translating the same Greek phrase ego eimi differently in John 8:58. The context clearly points to the meaning being "I am he (the Messiah)" and it's the same in John 8:58 where the KJV erred by rendering it I AM ego eimi is translated as : “I am [he]”-Mark 13:6; Luke 21:8; John 13:19; John 18:5-8; John 6:20. "I am [the one]" who (ho) you are speaking with (John 4:26) Jesus declares himself to be the Messiah in response to the woman who refers to the coming of Messiah in the previous verse. John 4:25 “It is I”-Matt. 14:27; Mark 6:50; "I am" (not worthy) Matthew 3:11 "I am" (not alone) John 8:16 "I am" (one who testifies) John 8:18 "I am" (going away) John 8:21 Where "I am" (going) John 8:21 and John 8:22 "I am" (from above) John 8:23 "I am" (generous) Matthew 20:15 "I am" (the light of the world) John 8:12 “I am [he]" or "I am [the one]" meaning: I am the Messiah John 8:24; John 8:28; John 8:58 There are numerous more examples. "ego eimi" is a popular Greek expression that means I am something or someone and what the someone or something is relates back to the subject. In the case of John 8:58 it refers to the Messiah or even the antecedent "I am the light of the world"....the anointed one of God who was prophesied to come. Jesus is declaring the same thing he declares in other scriptures "I am the messiah that was prophesied about before Abraham existed." "I am" is not a declaration by Jesus that he is God. John 8:58 can also be translated as "Before Abraham comes to be, I am"
I like your point about it, well done: Ro:6:7+Ga:2:18-19+1Pet:2:24. I think Ro:7:9 is also a beautiful verse+Ro:8:10-11. I think no one is able to fully understand the complete Bible. Maybe God uses certain groups or people to see more light. Mark:9:38-40 verses are the perfect example. "For he that is not against us is on our part". This is how I see it, God allows anyone draw close to him and have faith.
I was raised a Jehovah’s Witness. I left that cult, for ten years now. I believe in the triune God. I’m a born again Christian. May those lost find Christ.
so now you are in another kult
Praise God and Amen! A former Jdub here who was pulled out by the grace of God and thankful he didn't leave me in a state of atheism.
Hear, oh Israel, the Lord our God is one. Deut. 6:1. Read your Bible.
Praise God....
Amen I'm so glad you left that false cult
He sees what you’re saying. He just can’t go against the watchtower. Mental bondage is sad.
He worships a publishing company then.
It’s sad, but there are some JWs that walked away from that religion and became Christ follower. John 10:14 Jesus said, “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep, and they know me,”
Matthew 13:9 Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.
This Is why comments shouldn't be turned on, but the meek will find their way to jehovah anyway.
@dannyortiz76, Exactly! What it boils down to is pride in a person trying to make his own way to God. The same thing was in Lucifer who is the devil Isaiah 14:12-17 The Fall of Lucifer.
Very true, it’s difficult to break free from the organizations control but it is possible with Gods Spirit. Hopefully he planted some doubt in the elder.
Thank you for saying that "we will still struggle with sin", because many people don't believe this. It helps the new believer understand that we still need Jesus every day! We can't just accept Jesus and keep sinning and think it's ok. When born again christians sin, it automatically makes us feel terrible and we know we've sinned, but we immediately ask for forgiveness and keep trying.
Galatians 5:17 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. The scripture makes it clear that there will be a struggle. But every Christian must also hold on to the understanding that we do have the power to overcome. So as long as we stay in the word and renew our minds daily, we sill start to produce fruits of righteousness and we will start to be more like christ. only if we abide in the vine.
Yes! Everyday I fight with my demons. Everyday I am wanting to get me a prostitute or a whore cuz my wife is terrible in bed. I have been fighting this for about 4 years. And it is NOT EASY
We can't do this Christian life w/o Jesus. We can't live for Him w/o having Him in our lives. Only way we can walk w Jesus is by staying close to Jesus. We can't abide in Him if we're distant from Him...and this is where the war w the flesh, the enemy, the world and the distractions of this life try to remove us from staying close to Jesus.
A parallel I commonly present to lordship salvation arguments when dealing with the path to our spiritual perfection/completion is the physical example of Israel and the promised land. Hebrews mentions that the old covenant and the law was a foreshadowing of a better covenant to come, so I don't take lightly the nature of our relational dynamic to God represented there as we in the new covenant are now adopted into that same sonship which God called Israel to. And just as the promised land was a physical inheritance for Israel that they could possess or be delayed/suspended from possessing depending on their faithfulness, so now the kingdom of God is the guaranteed inheritance of anyone in Christ to possess and experience based on whether they are humbly walking by the Spirit at any given moment. It is not merely the third heaven or eternal life, as evidenced by many instances where the kingdom of God/heaven is mentioned in the gospels and onward. Just like Israel, once we are adopted we never cease to be sons of our Father regardless of whether we are walking by the Spirit or by the flesh in our path. And as Jesus told Nicodemus, unless someone is born of the Spirit they are not even able to see the kingdom of God. But on the issue of dying to sin, there need be no extreme position of a Christian either never living in sin after conversion like the lordship salvation position argues or hopelessly stuck sinning until death like the JW elder here purports. The Holy Spirit has given any who He indwells the capacity to war against the flesh and prevail as often as we are of a right spiritual heart attitude toward Him, just as Israel prevailed against the Canaanites as often as they had the right spiritual heart attitude.
@videos10 Four years, wow... Have you communicated with your wife about the dilemma? Is she willing to practice with you so as to head in a direction toward rhythmic harmony and both of you be more fulfilled? I hope you've not been simply bearing this burden alone and pretending everything is fine out of consideration for her ego...
The best of these videos is that ACTIVE JWs ARE watching these, confirmed! So thanks for your hard work and for you jw, please wake up!!!
We are awake! I am afraid he is twisting scripture, we have sin, we will die, that is why Jesus died for everyone, he is trying to twist what Paul meant, Jesus died to pay back to God what Adam lost, that is why everyone who dies has his sins forgiven. Please read John 17 v 3
You are asleep @nigelmcculloch3746
@@nigelmcculloch3746so if everyone who dieis forgiven, why did god say “not everyone calling me Lord” he says he knows? You must be IN Christ, not an organisation,

No offence,... but you better give back your cult/club membership card and RUN to the church in ANY direction and ask for an explanation of sound Biblical doctrine! Wow!!! Absolutely TERRIFYING that so many can end up in Hell for eternity just because 150 years ago,... russell couldn't accept a place of "eternal torment",... not "annihilation",... as the cult peddles.
Please,... pray earnestly.
@@nigelmcculloch3746death does not forgive us of our sins. If that were the case, then what’s the point of Jesus’ death? Through Christ alone are we forgiven of our sins. Read the Bible, even the doctored NWT, and you would see that.
You’re blessed sir.
"How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel!" (Romans 10:14-15)
Thank you for preaching the Gospel.
This was one of the first scriptures after starting to wake up, that absolutely blew my mind. When read in context. ❤
Thsnk you so much for representing Christ in a proper way❤❤
Jesus Bless your ministry. Your work to reach out to the lost is so important for the Kingdom of God.
@@A1b1c1d1ee okay so Death came actually as a mercy. God immediately sent man out of the Garden before he eats from the tree of life and lives forever in the sinful state. Just imagine you fall of a ship in the middle of the ocean and plunge into the abyss now you are stuck drowning being eaten by crabs being burnt with hot volcanic lager spewing out and being crushed with the pressure of the deep yet unable to die. Imagine you were captured as a sex slave by a psychopath that tortures you like the movie saw. Death is a mercy to free you from that. Therefore you can see the need for Death in a sinful world. Now we all who are born must die in order to be resurrected into a new Body either into eternal condemnation or eternal life. There are exceptions Enoch walked with God and did not die. That explains why Death came. I'll answer the other statements in another comment Jesus Bless you 🙏
@@A1b1c1d1ee okay for your statements trinitarians don't claim God had to die. God doesn't have to do anything for us. He did it because he loves us yet we are unworthy. So as soon as sin entered God established animal sacrifice to atone for sin Because God is just only life can pay for life but as animals are blameless and not Sinless they can never be a true sacrifice. Therefore only a Sinless sacrifice can truly pay for life. God promised us a Sinless sacrifice who will come to save the World. The Messiah. Read the chapter Isaiah53 this is just verse 5 But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed. Now this is the story of the Bible and the Jews have been doing animal sacrifices for remission of sins for thousands of years. I didn't make these rules God did and Jews have been following it. It stopped shortly after Jesus rose from the Dead. Christians don't feel the need to do the sacrifices because Jesus paid the ultimate price.
@@A1b1c1d1ee final part yes that Is correct God can't die, God is from everlasting. For Jesus the Flesh died but he conquered Death and rose his body from death. Jesus is everlasting that is why in Revelation 1:8 he calls himself the Alpha and Omega the beginning and the end, The Almighty.
@@A1b1c1d1ee are you muslim or Jehova's witness?
@@A1b1c1d1ee Jesus said before Abraham was I AM (YAWEH) Jesus is claiming to be eternal and God at the Same time. In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. All things were made through him. The Word was made Flesh and dwelt among us.

this dude is willing to suppress the truth for his watch tower
Lol, the ones who suppress the truth are the trinity believers and those who confuse Jesus as Jehovah the Father.
Matthew 4:10 the KJV uses Lord and references Deuteronomy 6:13 which very clearly uses LORD. LORD ALWAYS refers to Jehovah NEVER Jesus.
So in you all minds (consciously unaware) you actually read Matthew 4:10 as ...worship Jesus thy God, and HIM ONLY shalt thou serve.
We all know what Jehovah commands of us as even Jesus himself tells the Pharisees at Matthew 22:37 what the GREATEST command is.
@@MommaBear-ml5zx Hello, I believe in a fully human Jesus who's subordinate to Jehovah. These verses prove that Jesus was:
Subject to the authority of Mary and Joseph (Luke 2:49)
Experienced both hunger and thirst (Matthew 4:2; John 4:7; 19:28)
Needed sleep (Matthew 8:24)
Was tempted (Matthew 4:1-11; Hebrews 4:15)
Said who touched me (Mark 5:30-32)
Didn't know the hour of His return (Matthew 24:36)
Worshipped His Father as God (John 4:21-22)
Prayed to His Father in heaven (Matthew 26:39)
Learned obedience (Hebrews 5:8)
Temporarily made lower than the angels (Hebrews 2:9)
Depended on Jehovah for teachings (John 14:24) and works (John 10:37)
Jehovah is greater positionally (John 14:28)
Jehovah is the head of Christ (1 Corinthians 11:3)
And will deliver the kingdom to Jehovah (1 Corinthians 15:24-28)
Do you agree with the above verses?
I know you will disagree with the following. When you say Jehovah you're referring to “the Father”, when we say Jehovah we're referring to (depending on context) either the Father, Son or Holy Spirit as we believe in the nature of the one true God there are three distinct Persons.
I'm willing to discuss that with you if you're willing?
@@MommaBear-ml5zx I don't think we're confused that Jesus is the Father. But He is YHWH. It's you guys who's confused... It's all written plainly in scripture. None of our interpretations count. Whenever you read in the prophets including Isaiah LORD is used in place of YHWH. So most assumed that indicates it's the Father speaking... Most assume it's the Father who Isaiah and Ezekiel saw when taken up in the Spirit. But according to the same John who walked with the Lord in John 12:34-41 he verifies that Isaiah saw Jesus in His glory. As I said in my comment above... It the Spirit of Christ who gives understanding, and there are too many religious sects who lack understanding which is why so many of you are divided and putting faith in the opinions and ideologies of men. Get filled with the Spirit and you'll understand the word rather than debating in ignorance...
@@kountryboyoutdoors5257 if you think or believe Jesus is Yaweh, YOU ARE CONFUSED. Yaweh IS the Father Jesus IS the Son. If Jesus was Junior his name would be Yaweh not Jesus.
@@kountryboyoutdoors5257 so read Matthew 4:10 and tell me who Lord is. I predict you must say Jesus since when speaking of YHWH it would be written LORD.
So do tell me which version of Matthew 4:10 is correct:
#1 Then Jesus said to him: “Away with you Satan! For it is written: ‘You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve
#2 Then Jesus said to him: “Away with you Satan! For it is written: ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and HIM ONLY you shall serve
#3 Then Jesus said to him: “Go away Satan! For it is written: "It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service."

Well done my brother! Praying for them.
We each are sentenced to death by our own sins. Jesus served my sentence for me and I can accept or reject his payment of my wages. If I reject his wages for my sin then I must pay my own wages. I'm thankful that God is so merciful and patient because I justified myself for decades.

Yes you should wake up to the truth. This man believes Jesus is calling himself God because Jesus used the words "I am". Jesus NEVER called himself God, man has done that. Jesus has called himself the Messiah, the Morning Star, and the Son of God, but NEVER God. Nor did he ever put himself at or above the Father Jehovah. Man has done that.
@@MommaBear-ml5zx
Jesus and the Father are One, they're deity. When Jesus said "I Am" He proved that deity. He is God because He healed the sick, the blind, forgives sins, and He rose (bodily) from death on the third day all according to Scripture. He is the mediatior between us and the Father. And then there is John 1:1, 3. In the beginning was the Word (Jesus), and the Word (Jesus) was with God, and the Word (Jesus) was God. All things were made by Him (Jesus); and without Him was not anything made that was made. You see... God the Father created the world (Gen 1:1) through God the Son (Col 1:16; Heb 1:2). All creation was made through Jesus. Thus, He is the creator God. Even Rev 1:8 says the same thing. Jesus says, "I am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty."
The Bible is all about Jesus. I've scanned the nwt, and the gb got a lot of things mixed up so it doesn't really make any sense. Thank God for the old KJV's. Please read everything that Paul wrote because he is our Apostle to us Gentiles. Amen!
Love always to you my friend. 🌿✝️🌿
@@janetgillespie6590 The Christian church is not a sect because we are the Father's children. We are Jesus' bride, His church. We are just believers in Christ as our Savior.

If physical death can free us from sin then:
1. why had the Lord Jesus to go calvary on the cross ? He just had to make all of us die and then resurrected us, free from any sin.
2. Why should the Lord say, he will judge the dead at the resurrection on the last day?
That all don't make sense.
If I may answer you. 1. God was owed a perfect human life which is what was lost in Eden. So, Jesus fulfilled that role. He spilled his sinless human blood once for all time so we would now put our faith in him. 2. When a person dies today and before the last day, the condemned go to jail so to speak waiting to be judged when they will be sent to their eternal home in prison. When a believer dies today they go immediately to be with the Lord in what is called the third paradise. The don't yet receive their glorified body because the physical body is needed for that to happen to it (so to speak). That is why scripture says everyone will appear before the judgement seat of Christ (good and bad). Hope that helps you.
What did the Bible writers themselves say about the so called "cross" ? They used the Greek noun stau•rosʹ 27 times and the verbs stau•roʹo 46 times, syn•stau•roʹo (the prefix syn, meaning “with”) 5 times, and a•na•stau•roʹo (a•naʹ, meaning “again”) once. They also used the Greek word xyʹlon, meaning “wood,” 5 times to refer to the torture instrument upon which Jesus was nailed.
Stau•rosʹ in both the classical Greek and Koine carries no thought of a “cross” made of two timbers. It means only an upright stake, pale, pile, or pole, as might be used for a fence, stockade, or palisade. Says Douglas’ New Bible Dictionary of 1985 under “Cross,” page 253: “The Gk. word for ‘cross’ (stauros; verb stauroo . . .) means primarily an upright stake or beam, and secondarily a stake used as an instrument for punishment and execution.”
The fact that Luke, Peter, and Paul also used xyʹlon as a synonym for stau•rosʹ gives added evidence that Jesus was impaled on an upright stake without a crossbeam, for that is what xyʹlon in this special sense means. (Ac 5:30; 10:39; 13:29; Ga 3:13; 1Pe 2:24) Xyʹlon also occurs in the Greek Septuagint at Ezra 6:11, where it speaks of a single beam or timber on which a lawbreaker was to be impaled.
The New World Translation, therefore, faithfully conveys to the reader this basic idea of the Greek text by rendering stau•rosʹ as “torture stake,” and the verb stau•roʹo as “impale,” that is, to fasten on a stake, or pole. In this way there is no confusion of stau•rosʹ with the traditional ecclesiastical crosses. The matter of one man like Simon of Cyrene bearing a torture stake, as the Scriptures say, is perfectly reasonable, for if it was 15 cm (6 in.) in diameter and 3.5 m (11 ft) long, it probably weighed little more than 45 kg (100 lb).-Mr 15:21.
Note what W. E. Vine says on this subject: “STAUROS (σταυρός) denotes, primarily, an upright pale or stake. On such malefactors were nailed for execution. Both the noun and the verb stauroo, to fasten to a stake or pale, are originally to be distinguished from the ecclesiastical form of a two beamed cross.” Greek scholar Vine then mentions the Chaldean origin of the two-piece cross and how it was adopted from the pagans by Christendom in the third century C.E. as a symbol of Christ’s impalement.-Vine’s Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words, 1981, Vol. 1, p. 256.
Significant is this comment in the book The Cross in Ritual, Architecture, and Art: “It is strange, yet unquestionably a fact, that in ages long before the birth of Christ, and since then in lands untouched by the teaching of the Church, the Cross has been used as a sacred symbol. . . . The Greek Bacchus, the Tyrian Tammuz, the Chaldean Bel, and the Norse Odin, were all symbolised to their votaries by a cruciform device.”-By G. S. Tyack, London, 1900, p. 1.
The book The Non-Christian Cross, by J. D. Parsons (London, 1896), adds: “There is not a single sentence in any of the numerous writings forming the New Testament, which, in the original Greek, bears even indirect evidence to the effect that the stauros used in the case of Jesus was other than an ordinary stauros; much less to the effect that it consisted, not of one piece of timber, but of two pieces nailed together in the form of a cross. . . . It is not a little misleading upon the part of our teachers to translate the word stauros as ‘cross’ when rendering the Greek documents of the Church into our native tongue, and to support that action by putting ‘cross’ in our lexicons as the meaning of stauros without carefully explaining that that was at any rate not the primary meaning of the word in the days of the Apostles, did not become its primary signification till long afterwards, and became so then, if at all, only because, despite the absence of corroborative evidence, it was for some reason or other assumed that the particular stauros upon which Jesus was executed had that particular shape.”-Pp. 23, 24; see also The Companion Bible, 1974, Appendix No. 162.
Great job, brother, for once again courageously confronting false doctrine with the rightly divided Word of Truth.
But what's so sad is that so many sincere JW members will end up dying in their sins, falsely believing their 'good works' will earn them the right to resurrection and eternal life on Judgement Day.
I do not agree with Jehovah's Witnesses .but don't become Hypocrites like them and judge them the way they judge everybody
It's not for us to say .who will be saved
"If we died to sin, we can't sin." Not true. The JW man is trying to give his own interpretation. The verse means sin no longer enslaves us as it did before we were born again. Now we have the power of the Holy Spirit to reject sin and He enables us to resist temptation and do what is right
So are you saying that it is impossible for you to sin, so once you are born again you are perfect???
Bruh, regardless if you are born again, you are not free from sin, you can still sin and make mistakes and even turn against God.
God bless you for preaching to these people whether they accept it or not. It plants seeds
Seeds were planted, and now they have a contradiction that they have to deal with. Now only God can open their eyes.
Seeds only grow when they are watered. Are you going to tend the garden. Highly doubtful!
God bless you brother
What they don't get is that from a biblical standpoint, death is supposed to be eternal. The wages for sin is that you die and remain dead eternally. If a sinner is ever raised up from death then his punishment is undone and his liability for past sin returns. If we don't look at death that way two problems arise.
1. Death becomes victorious. There is a passage or scripture where Paul, speaking of the resurrection, says/quotes: "Death were is your victory? Where is your sting?". His point was that the resurrection defeats death. But if death's purpose is realized even if a sinner is dead but for a fleeting moment and is resurrected, then death always wins. Thus Paul's words indicate that for death to serve its true purpose it must be eternal - the sinner must remain dead perpetually.
2. No need for a ransom. If a sinner's sins are acquitted by being dead for a mere finite period of time, then there is no need for Jesus' sacrifice. All God's faithful worshippers will inevitably die. God can just let them die naturally and raise them up afterward, free of sin, no ransom needed. That's the obvious implication of JWs' teaching. And a ransom still wouldn't be needed as a basis to resurrect the dead because God didn't need a random sacrifice as a basis for creating Adam and Eve in the first place and the resurrection is essentially the re-creating of a person.
In context, Romans 6:7 isn't about death cleaning your slate of past sins. It's about death immobilizing you that you cannot sin. It's actually talking about death literally freeing you from sin's power to control you - to make you sin. Paul is taking this literal truth about death and applying it spiritually by telling his readers that since they died spiritually then they should likewise not allow themselves to be controlled by sin just as a literally dead person is uncontrollable by sin.
Excellent. I am actually surprised he engaged with you at length. Here in the UK, if i mention i go to church they pretty much shut down and run.

Thank you for this. God bless you dear Brother 🙏❤️
If the Jw elder is arguing that we still sin after Rom 6 therefore it can’t be speaking spiritually, that’s why we have to die daily 1 Cor 15:31
Contrary to popular opinion, Christ will not judge those who are resurrected on the basis of their past sins, many of which may have been committed in ignorance. The Bible explains that at death a person is set free or released from any sins he committed. It says: “He who has died has been acquitted from his sin.” (Romans 6:7) This means that when a person is resurrected he will be judged according to what he does during Judgment Day, not on the basis of what he did before he was resurrected.
Judgment Day, therefore, is not a literal 24-hour day. It will be 1,000 years long. It is the same 1,000-year period during which Christ and his associate kings will rule over redeemed mankind. (Revelation 20:4, 6) During this time people will work together toward making the earth a paradise. In due time the dead will be welcomed back to life on earth.-Luke 23:43.
I used to be a Catholic then I become a Oneness believers more than 10 years now. I feel very blessed how The Lord Jesus change my life and my faith become more stronger 🙏❤️

Luke 20:37 Jesus said [quoting Exodus 3]: But that the dead are raised up, even Moses made known in the account about the THORNBUSH, when he calls Jehovah "the LORD" ‘the God of Abraham and God of Isaac and God of Jacob.’ 38 He.. is a God, not of the dead, but of the living, for they are all living to HIM
Exodus 3:4 When Jehovah saw that he went over to look, God called to him out of the THORNBUSH and said: “Moses! Moses!” to which he said: “Here I am.” (..) 6 He went on to say: “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” Then Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at THE TRUE GOD.

@@Thlastday00 Jesus being in the form of a bondservant would rightly call the father Lord or God, phillipians 2 explains this. jerimiah 32:27 makes it clear if you are in the flesh you have a God. Jesus calling the father God doesn't disqualify him from being that same God, Deuteronomy 6:4 uses the word echad for one, Genesis 2:24" they shall become one flesh". Same principle of compound unity, just as Two humans can be considered one flesh two divine persons can be considered one God or one Jehovah. Eve was also called Adam but distinct from Adam, just as Jesus can be called God but distinct from God and subordinate just as Eve was subordinate to God.
This is a blessing.
Paul is clearly speaking of a spiritual death not a physical death. If we die without Jesus, we go to Hell.
You have it all my bro, continue with that gift. You are good. May God richly bless you and your ministry.
Blessings brother, God promises his word never returns empty, the seed has been planted now it’s the job of The Holy Spirit of God to shake him loose from the the blinding lies of the devil, only The Spirit of The Living God can make that happen!!!

Just look where the founder is buried, and at the original watchtower covers.
And the artwork in every publication is demonic.
KristyAnn has a channel where she has a couple of videos with compilations of the occultic images.
Very interesting.
You mean like how watch tower in Tarot or something? See that seems a bit too far. All societies have watch towers. We need to be careful with our biasses and going down rabbit holes of dark fascinations. Like the pledge of allegiance was created by some really questionable dudes and had the Hitler salute before Hitler stole it. Doesn't mean all people who say the pledge and think it's patriotic are bad and doing a bad thing because the phrase, under God is there to mean God willing and the pledge doesn't supercede allegiance to God and His will. Division is the tool of Satan, the Accuser, so let's be careful on both sides and focus on the Word and God and Christ's Good News please
@@amandachilds5290
No, not like a watchtower...more like demons, devils, and phallic symbols.
The "watchtower" is the least of it.
Also in their "kids" programming, the "Caleb and Sophia" series, they use MANY symbols promoting child grooming. These symbols are used by pedophiles around the world. The FBI has database of these symbols and their meanings. These symbols are found in all of the Watchtower publications and productions made for "children."
These symbols are a welcome mat for predators, with assurance they will be protected.
@@amandachilds5290no, that's not what I'm saying. Focusing on the Word is how I learn everything. There is nothing new under the sun, in other words everything that exists has always existed from the beginning. The enemy has always been within the gates. Who procured all the gold, silver and materials for David's palace and Solomon's temple? From the phoenicians(canaanites) of tyre, the royal high priest bloodline of Jezebel. The money changers and merchants that Jesus expelled from the temple are the same ones that nehemiah threw out. The prophets say they had more gold than dirt.
We know that the second beast in Daniel(medo-persia) had many princes within it's empire from Egypt to India. So when the 3rd beast under Alexander sacked tyre, did the phoenician trade routes, maritime law and money changers and idol worship cease to exist? Obviously not, because of all of Paul's letters to the churches within some of their wealthiest port cities like Ephesus. Today they have satellites and the internet and many names in many languages but their symbols remain the same.
Om du menar pyramiden på hans grav så har de tyvärr gömt den för några år sedan för att dölja den obekväma sanningen.
The key is that one must receive the free gift of Jesus. The problem is that many reject the free gift of Jesus, and those who reject His gift will not be acquitted from their sins.
My mother in-law is a JW and when I read her passages about hell she says it’s symbolic and then I read her the story where the rich man went to hell and he wanted Lazarus to dip his finger in the water so he could put it on the tip of his tongue and he was told they could cross to him even if they wanted too so he then asked if they would go and tell his brothers about this place of torment and they said “no, they wouldn’t believe anyone from the dead if they don’t believe Moses or the prophets.” And of course she said this was also symbolic smh. I’m still working on her and praying for her and those that believe Charles Taze Russell instead of Jesus Christ.
Which religion do you follow???
@@nigelackroyd7991 religion will lead to a lie. follow CHRIST !
I’m a Christian, I follow what the original bible says in Hebrew and in Greek not what Charles Taze Russell or Mohammed think is the word of God.
Amazing job! May God continue to bless your ministry
Thank you brother for two large points…
1. Yes, Christians aren’t perfect, but we aren’t finished growing and we have a promise that He will complete in us the good work that He started - Philippians 1:6. Notice that He started it and He will complete it. Our salvation is a gift not a reward of our works - Ephesians 2:8-9
2. The false teaching of Romans 6:7 - again with patience and love you explained well the correct teaching of all of Romans 6.
Let us continue to pray that the seed sown break through the rocky places of their hearts and minds to produce the good fruit of salvation. Lord Jesus, in Your holy name, continue working through our brother Hossein and bring forth salvation in these witnesses’ life. Amen!
It is so sad knowing thousands are being deceived and buy into this organization!
And the problem is they think they are right all the time. That's even scarier.
God bless you, Hossein, my brother. My greetings from the country of Georgia.
I thank the Lord for raising you up brother to bring the Truth to JWs'....they are decieved. My husband has been a staunch JW for over fifty five years. I am praying and believing he will SEE and recieve Jesus Christ as GOD his Savior. That's the big deception and lie the enemy has sown within the hearts of these people. God bless you brother as you do the will of the Father and continue your ministry to plant those seeds of truth within them. My prayers and love are with you and your family.❤
who will give the kingdom to Jesus?
Luke 1:32
Jesus will be great and will be called Son of the Most High, and Jehovah God will give him the throne of David
I hope and pray you see the truth one day soon and join your husband in serving the true god Jehovah, his only wish will be that you join him forever.
Oh my goodness... I am so glad you are all watching this channel. I pray for all JW's. Keep watching this channel and you will learn that Jesus is the Truth and you will be set free. He whom the Son sets free is free indeed....John 8:36. Jesus said in John 10:7-10 that he is the door and if any man enters in by him they shall be saved, and shall go in and out and find pasture. Jesus said I am the Way the Truth and the Life, no man comes to the Father but by me... John 14:6.
John 10 :1-30...I and my Father are One. They are one God...there is only one God. That is why in the next several verses the Jewish leaders in that day tried to stone Jesus because in John 10 verse 33 Jesus declared himself to be God. In verse 37 Jesus said believe this that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.
John 3:16... For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son. The Strongs concordance meaning of "only begotten" means only born child. Jesus was the only one who was begotten or born out of our Father...meaning he was in and with the Father before he was concieved within Mary by the Holy Spirit. All humans and angels are created by God....angels and humans are not begotten or born out of our Father God. Only Jesus Christ the Son of God was born out of Jehovah God our Father.
I pray for you all that our Father will take the scales off of your eyes and you will find the Greatest Gift ever given to the world....Jesus Christ of Nazareth. He came to me and visited me 6 years ago and I belong to Him now. I love the Father and the Son and am filled with the Holy Spirit. I now walk according to Galatians 2:20 where Paul said...
I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
How could a mere created angel be worthy to be the blood sacrifice for the sins of the world? Only Jesus, the perfect spotless lamb of God, who was begotten of God the Father could be that perfect sacrifice...because He and his Father are One. I pray Truth will be given to each one of you and you will come to know the Son...Jesus Christ as your Savior and Redeemer and the lover of your souls.❤️
the weird part is that the apostles preach in acts 3-5 that Jehovah resurrected Jesus and people that supposedly believe in Jesus now a days are incapable of seeing truth
Did you notice that the JW woman was not interested at all in what the young man had to say. At first, she did get her phone out like she was looking up the website, but then her focus was broken and started looking at people on the street and not not paying attention, at one point she took off her gloves, ect...It was all an "act". The JW man however was very attentive to the conversation.
May the lord Jesus Christ bless your ministry
Greetings my brother! That statement he made is insane!!!! Scripture say’s Thou are without excuse! Death does not pay for anyone’s sin , Jesus death on the tree pays for sin not alone. JESUS! PAID IT ALL!!! Hallelujah!! Thank You Jesus!!! Thank you ! Brother! God blessed!
Your approach is good, which allows you to engage in biblical discussion ( looking at the text...).It is good that the Jehovah's Witness listened to some biblical rather than the regular " spiritual food " from the Watchtower cult.
Jw’s nor the watchtower is a cult..
Buy a dictionary and look up cult. Anything thats not mainstream is automatically a cult these days by your definition all religion is a cult.
Beautiful talk! Awesome !
Well done brother, you know there’s a psychological thing with lot of people called CONFIRMATION BIAS if a person believe something, they will always lean towards what they believe and discard anything else that goes against it
Yes and this guy who made this video does exactly that, sad really.
@@MommaBear-ml5zx well that's possible but why can't you see that the JWs do as well. Are they immune to confirmation bias? I think it's that certain personality types tend to be drawn to certain sects or denominations is all. I think the JWs are pure and simple people and the ones I knew personally did not do well in school in literary analysis and things like motifs and themes and allegorical plot points that authors admitted they intentionally put into works and discussed. They acted like that artistic and deeper point was not real or just a coincidence or people reading too much into things. They just had a different POV or blind spot that even the author himself or herself couldn't convince them existed and was planned out and there. Lol. So yeah, they do that with the Bible too. They read the greatest work of literature in a way that limits the scope and profound depths the Author of the Universe may have intended for others to see and respond to. God speaks to all of us on our level but even Proverbs says it is Glory of God to conceal a thing and duty/ honor and privilege of kings to search it out...and hopefully reveal it. We are all those kings as joint heirs in Christ and thus, HE is the KING of all us kings who are instructed to search the Word out and know Jesus Christ because He is the Word made flesh.
I see they both can be right because what happens in natural/ physical world happens also in the spiritual realm and to fulfill the spiritual Jesus Christ had to do it and fulfill it in physical/ natural world first. And they cycle and that is one of God's bigger precepts or laws and Jesus admits He didn't come to destroy the Law but to fulfill it fully. That's what all this means. They can both be right but Paul, in context to those whom he is writing to, really is trying to convey what this short man is saying to the JWs. However that doesn't mean that they are wrong with their understanding completely. It means each has a different angle on the same object they are trying to see. Basically God just wants you to keep looking at that object and seeing it from all the vantage points and more will be revealed as you age and as you get to know Him deeper and more intimately. Our eyes, like Paul's, will be able to adjust and focus and see more the more we search and look at that's exactly how we are to study God's word and encourage each other. That object is the Fruit we should consume and the opposite of the one Adam and Eve got distracted by and brought up on this curse that Christ Jesus, Immanuel, Yeshua, reversed. Jesus never lost sight and kept his eyes on the prize and we should follow His example and be grateful for it. Be well and blessed and may the Fruits of the Spirit abide in you and yours.
No such thing as Trinitarian confirmation bias then???
@@nigelackroyd7991 no, because the early church fathers (who was learning directly from the apostles that saw Christ) believed in the trinity:
Ignatius of Antioch (c. 35-108 AD): Ignatius, an early Christian bishop and martyr, wrote extensively on Christian theology. In his letters, he emphasized the divinity of Christ and the unity of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Justin Martyr (c. 100-165 AD): Justin was an early Christian apologist who defended Christianity against pagan accusations. He referred to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as distinct persons within the divine unity. His works contributed to the early development of Trinitarian thought.
Irenaeus (c. 130-202 AD): Irenaeus was a bishop and theologian who opposed Gnostic teachings. He stressed the importance of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in the economy of salvation and argued against various heresies that undermined the unity of God.
Tertullian (c. 155-240 AD): Tertullian, a North African theologian, coined the term "Trinity" (Latin: Trinitas) and extensively wrote on the nature of God. He articulated the concept of three distinct persons in one substance, contributing significantly to the early formulation of Trinitarian doctrine.
Athanasius (c. 296-373 AD): Athanasius, a prominent bishop of Alexandria, played a key role in the Nicene Council. He staunchly defended the Nicene Creed, which affirms the divinity of Christ and the Holy Spirit. His writings were crucial in combating the Arian heresy, which denied the full deity of Christ.
@@nigelackroyd7991 This believer was once a Muslim, and once denied all the things that has now been revealed to him by the Father through the revelation of Jesus Christ It can't be a bias if he's letting the scripture speak for itself, but because of preconceived ideologies, indoctrination & unbelief, those who see, see not, who hear, hear not & neither understand.
Their love is for a lie being perpetuated by blind men rather than the eternal truth of God.

Love the videos. Haven't had as many run ins with JW as I have with Muslims and black Hebrew Israelites, but the Lord is definitely equipping His elect with the true understanding of the word.
It's funny that they don't believe that Jesus is God when Paul specifically said He is in Romans 9:5. Also they assume that YHWH is simply referring to the father. But who did Isaiah see who was high and lifted up? Who did Ezekiel see in a similar vision to Isaiah's? Well according to John 12:34-41, while speaking of Jesus he mentions Isaiah's account of Him. When these prophets saw God in His glory while in the Spirit they saw Jesus. Out of our well known prophets, Daniel is the only one who mentions them both (Ancient of Days and the Son of Man in Daniel 7). And who is Malachi, Joel and Zechariah speaking of who will come down and judge on the Day of the Lord? The same Jesus in Revelation who says, I'm coming soon!
What people have to understand is that no man has Ever seen God (the Father), but Jesus is the image of the invisible God (Colossians 1:15). We must also remember what Jesus said in Matthew 11:15...All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.
So not everyone has been given the revelation...
Yeshua is YHWH!
Mixed up people! So many just Satan is after the true people of hehovah so what should we expect? Us witnesses are prepared for ridiculesrs! Look! We have people working against jehovahs people websites teaching haters f jehovahs people trying to convert us as we stand firm in the truth! On our own conscience not being controlled!
Wonderful exposition.
You quoted Colossians
1: 15 He is the image of the invisible God.......
And the next words say " the first - born of creation" .
And if Jehovah is the Ancient of Days as you say.
And Jesus is the Son of man.
Jehovah is described as on the throne in heaven , whilst Jesus is nearby.
So how are they one and the same?
These are two with a close relationship, but Jehovah has greater power.
And the authority Jesus has , was given to him.
You quote the verse yourself.

It says: “He who has died has been acquitted from his sin.” (Romans 6:7) This means that when a person is resurrected he will be judged according to what he does during Judgment Day, not on the basis of what he did before he was resurrected.

Wtf…how many Jehovah’s witnesses do you see on the six o clock news…
Alr mister private private, holy of Holy, the Bible says judgment should be left in Gods hand alone
I talked with an elder Jehova's Witness every Wednesday for over a year, pointing out the issues with the NWT, the many false prophecies the organization is founded upon, the misinterpretation of scripture, etc. I eventually asked him, With all that we have discussed, and all the errors within your organization, would you ever leave? He replied, I will never leave.
My wife and I are presently talking with and praying for a 60 year old jw couple we meet with each Thursday. They were both born into jw families and by all appearances,... they are unphased by any of the errors, false teachings, false prophecies, wilful deceit, etc, ad nauseam. Truly, only God can water the seeds we sow,... His will,... not ours.
What we have found edifying is the reality that my wife and I effort and endeavor with them because we are filled with the Holy Spirit,... and we are so full of gratitude, humility and thankfulness for the undeserved Mercy and Grace our Father has gifted us,... we are compelled because He first loved us,... so completely and unimaginably,... that He gave Himself as a ransom through Jesus Christ!
Yet,... conversely,... our jw acquaintances are clearly not involved with us out of a genuine love or concern,... but only making sure they rack up enough points, accumulate enough accolades, etc, through "works",... so as to eventually score 1st, 2nd, 3rd class tickets,... to God's reward!
Ultimately,... when we are together,.... my wife and I are engaged in "loving". They,... on the other hand,... are engaged in "working". This dynamic was not so obvious until we began meeting with them,... but it certainly makes one absolutely overwhelmed with gratitude in being born again through Christ Jesus!
Thank you for your comment. I expect we need to encourage one another,... and thankfully,... there are MANY testimonies of jw deliverances. They often remind my wife and I that all are redeemable through God's will. Amen.
Hard to understand the JW viewpoint here. Seems like he agrees with you but is sticking with what the website says just because it’s from the JW website. But he doesn’t really have an answer or understanding.

The Greek phrase "ego eimi" in John 8:24 and John 8:58 (and elsewhere in the Bible) translates to English as "I am the one" (the Messiah), or "I am he." The context always indicates what the phrase "ego eimi" points to.
"I AM" in uppercase Is a MISTRANSLATION.
It changes the common Greek expression to a proper noun and misleads people to believe it is a
name for God. It's not. "ego eimi is never used as a name for God in the Bible.
"That is why I said to you that you will die in your sins. For unless you believe that I am the one, you will die in your sins.”
I am the one; I am the Messiah; I am he; are all correct translations because this verse refers to Jesus as being the Messiah.
"I AM" in uppercase letters is an error. The KJV and other translations do not have I AM in John 8:24. The NKJV reads "I am he" and the meaning according to the context is "I am the Messiah."
If you think this slight of handwork of the NKJV translators in John 8:58 points to YHWH in Exodus 3:14 you are wrong because NOWHERE in the Bible is the Greek "ego eimi" used as a name for YHWH. The KJV translators gave no reason for translating the same Greek phrase ego eimi differently in John 8:58.
The context clearly points to the meaning being "I am he (the Messiah)" and it's the same in John 8:58 where the KJV erred by rendering it I AM
ego eimi is translated as :
“I am [he]”-Mark 13:6; Luke 21:8; John 13:19; John 18:5-8; John 6:20.
"I am [the one]" who (ho) you are speaking with (John 4:26) Jesus declares himself to be the Messiah in response to the woman who refers to the coming of Messiah in the previous verse. John 4:25
“It is I”-Matt. 14:27; Mark 6:50;
"I am" (not worthy) Matthew 3:11
"I am" (not alone) John 8:16
"I am" (one who testifies) John 8:18
"I am" (going away) John 8:21
Where "I am" (going) John 8:21 and John 8:22
"I am" (from above) John 8:23
"I am" (generous) Matthew 20:15
"I am" (the light of the world) John 8:12
“I am [he]" or "I am [the one]" meaning: I am the Messiah John 8:24; John 8:28; John 8:58
There are numerous more examples.
"ego eimi" is a popular Greek expression that means I am something or someone and what the someone or something is relates back to the subject. In the case of John 8:58 it refers to the Messiah or even the antecedent "I am the light of the world"....the anointed one of God who was prophesied to come.
Jesus is declaring the same thing he declares in other scriptures "I am the messiah that was prophesied about before Abraham existed."
"I am" is not a declaration by Jesus that he is God. John 8:58 can also be translated as "Before Abraham comes to be, I am"
I like your point about it, well done: Ro:6:7+Ga:2:18-19+1Pet:2:24. I think Ro:7:9 is also a beautiful verse+Ro:8:10-11. I think no one is able to fully understand the complete Bible. Maybe God uses certain groups or people to see more light. Mark:9:38-40 verses are the perfect example. "For he that is not against us is on our part". This is how I see it, God allows anyone draw close to him and have faith.
