    What are the main doctrinal differences between Jehovah's Witnesses and mainstream Christianity?

    Jehovah's Witnesses believe there will be bought from among Mankind 144,000 who will be with Jesus in that heavenly Messianic Kingdom that Jesus is king of. These 144,000 will be the king, judges, and priests with Jesus ruling over the Earth, and they will get a resurrection like Jesus and be...

    How To know if you're going to Hell.

    You can believe what you want, but regarding Sheol, the Encyclopedia Britannica (1971, Vol. 11, p. 276) noted: "The state of the dead was one of neither pain nor pleasure. Neither reward for the righteous nor punishment for the wicked was associated with Sheol. The good and the bad alike...

    How To know if you're going to Hell.

    Sheol, Hades, Hell, all are the same place. Sheol is a Hebrew word that represents the common grave of mankind or gravedom. Sheol in Old Testament times referred simply to the abode of the dead and suggested no moral distinctions, so it's the place where the dead, righteous and unrighteous go...

    Satan's deception.

    You think that someone who disagrees with you, because they believe you're not staying in scripture because of how you believe, doesn't love you? If that's what you believe or trying to say, then you're the one having a lack of love. If I honestly disagree with you because I honestly don't think...

    Satan's deception.

    MatthewG said: You are more than free to believe that is still going to happen, will love you, even if you disagree with me believing those things have happened already.[/QUOTE\] Since Armageddon hasn't happened yet, Satan hasn't been thrown into the Abyss yet. It's when Satan and his demons...

    Satan's deception.

    If you don't believe Satan is around anymore then not only are you going against scripture but you're deceiving yourself. Satan will not be thrown into the Abyss where he won't be able to influence or tempt mankind until when Armageddon happens. When this wicked world we're living in is...

    Satan's deception.

    The Great Potter doesn't arbitrarily determines the eternal destiny of any of us long before we are born, as the Calvinistic teaching of predestination would have it. Not at all! His creatures determine their own destiny by the course of action they take. But the Great Potter can and does, for...

    The answer of hell and its origins

    If any JW told a 15 year old child it was ok to drink then that person/persons wasn't a faithful JW's. The organization called Bethel along with the rest of the watchtower has always taught that it's ok for adults to drink alcohol in moderation. So if you're saying that the organization Bethel...

    The answer of hell and its origins

    Here's the difference between you and me. You believe Jesus was a human when he stated what he stated at Matthew 28:18, 19. But the scriptures show us that when Jesus stated what he stated at Matthew 28:18, 19 he had been resurrected from the dead. At 1 Peter 3:18, it shows us that Jesus was put...

    Where did the holiday Christmas come from?

    Satan Clause wizards and magic is associated with Christmas. Just look at the Santa Clause cartoons we allow our children to watch. It was a wizard with magic beans that gave Santa's reindeer the ability to fly. Why would we as Christians submit our children to this. Bunny Rabbits and eggs...

    The answer of hell and its origins

    No what I know is people will ignore scripture such as Matthew 28 At Matthew 28:18 Jesus says, "All authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth." Here's the thing though this scripture is teaching me that someone gave Jesus his authority, but no-one has given the true God his...

    The personal name of God YHWH(Jehovah/Yahweh) which is the personal name of God that he inspired to be written down 6,828 times in the Hebrew text printed in Biblica Hebraic and Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia. The frequency of the appearance of this name YHWH attests to it's importance to the...

    Where did the holiday Christmas come from?

    I have no problem with people studying history and archaeology, the problem I have is people compromising the word of God that God inspired men to write down. The Scripture is going to come first with me. What God did is going to come first with me. For example human beings when they study the...

    You have made yourself a victim by living your life by your interpretation of scripture instead of what God inspired men to write down.

    Where did the holiday Christmas come from?

    God does not change . Christmas and Easter have false religion connected to them. You don't take what has to do with false religion and combine it with God or his truth that's in the scriptures. People think it's ok to accept Christmas and Easter even though fertility gods, wizardry...

    Satan's deception.

    Then continue on deceiving yourself and those who listen to you that disobedience God approves of because you say it's Gods will that people are disobedient to him.

    Where did the holiday Christmas come from?

    I don't believe God changes. He viewed false gods as belonging to demons and wanted none of his people to have anything to do with demons. God still doesn't want anyone who belongs to him to have anything that's connected to demons. So you can believe God has changed, I do not
