    JW's Preach A Different Gospel

    Because God does not pre-destine anyone. Mary was chosen for the woman she was at the time.... if she had of been someone without faith, she would not have been chosen.

    its not a succession. No one takes the place of the Messiah.

    JW's Preach A Different Gospel

    if it wasnt Mary, it would have been another woman. Far too much emphasis is placed on Mary...she is not the queen of heaven or mother of God. She was a humble and righteous jewish girl who was selected to bring the Messiah into the world. elevating her to someone we should pray too is...

    JW's Preach A Different Gospel

    No successors and no predecessors. That was the manner of Melchizadek. he wasnt even Jewish. All Jews come from Abraham.... but Melchizadek was a fully grown man living in the time of Abraham...he is not one of Abrahams sons. So he is not Jewish and nor is the Messiah. The apostles were...

    anyone who thinks they should be paid for serving God dont deserve to serve him.

    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    hence my comment, 'you must recognize the avenue he is using' because whether you like it or not, the GB are the avenue he uses. And if you dont agree with that then its your loss.

    JW's Preach A Different Gospel

    i had to travel back to try and work out how we got to Melchizedek. So in terms of 'apostolic succession', you believe it is biblical because Moses had a successor and also appointed 70 elders and they in turn appointed successors after them. Yet Melchizedek had no predecessor nor any...

    JW's Preach A Different Gospel

    You are cherry picking what I said and Your context seems to change from sentence to sentence.. Jesus mediates the new covenant and those chosen to be apart of it...initially that was the apostles to whom he said 'I make a covenant with you for a kingdom' He mediates for them while they are...

    JW's Preach A Different Gospel

    I think you've gone off track mate. Were'nt we talking about the jewish religious system??? Yes. Well, now you bring Melchizedeck into it and guess what.... he wasnt Jewish...wasnt an Israelite....not even a son of Abraham. So who was he? The bible records no ancestry of him. So how...

    JW's Preach A Different Gospel

    What's fear got to do with it??? Armageddon is not a fearful thing. Luke 21:28 But as these things start to occur, stand up straight and lift up your heads, because your deliverance is getting near.” Why do you think Jehovahs people spend so much time telling others about it??? Its...

    JW's Preach A Different Gospel

    This is about the 'new covenant' ... not about Jesus serving on behalf of all mankind. Its not saying that Jesus is not a mediator for all mankind, its specifically speaking of the 'New Covenant' which he instituted with his 11 faithful apostles on the night before he died: Luke 22:20 Also, he...

    JW's Preach A Different Gospel

    Jesus taught us to focus on the end times, the apostles were keenly interested in the end times, Paul, John and Peter all foretold events of the end times.. Jesus said to keep awake and keep on the watch for it. Matt 24:42 Keep on the watch, therefore, because you do not know on what day...

    JW's Preach A Different Gospel

    You are wrong. The WT does not teach that Jesus is mediator for the 144,000. That is incorrect. Anyone in heaven does not require a mediator between themselves and Jehovah...they will be in his very presence. If we are teaching that the 144,000 are in heaven with Christ, then why would...

    JW's Preach A Different Gospel

    So what do you think Revelation 14:1 means then?

    JW's Preach A Different Gospel

    Well yes, that is contradictory. And we dont say he is not our mediator. He is the mediator of all mankind....who told you that we say he mediates only for the anointed? Perhaps you misheard that Christ, along with the anointed, mediate on behalf of us all. They are in heaven as kings...

    To be burnt in hell.....earthly and organic phenomenon in hell??

    yes, because the breath (wind/spirit) comes in and out of the body (soul) Our physical being (soul) requires breath in order to sustain it. Take away the breath (spirit), and the soul (flesh) dies. Breath into a dead soul, it comes to life. (ie, resuscitation)

    JW's Preach A Different Gospel

    its very strange that the christian scriptures only record the appointment of Mattias to replace Judas. Thereafter, no more appointments are made or mentioned in the christian scriptures. If there really were more prophets, then the Christian scriptures would not end with Revelation. They...

    JW's Preach A Different Gospel

    I hate to remind you of this, but the entire Jewish religious system was put out of action when Jehovah allowed the temple to be destroyed. That entire method was abandoned. There was no more earthly priesthood because the priesthood, headed by Christ was to reside in heavenly Jerusalem.
