My view is what the Bible says.....the whole world is under the control of the one who said God was a liar and inferred that he was holding something back that us humans had a right to know.....to determine between good and evil for ourselves.
The Creator stepped back to allow the devil to rule this world because it was apparently not enough just to tell free willed beings to trust him....he had to let them see for themselves that they can’t trust their own judgment. (Luke 4:5-8) Nor can they often tell the difference between good and evil.
So God is in control of the exercise, but he is not running the show....just yet. If you can look at the world and see God in any human activity connected with its governance, please tell me where and to what extent God is seen in any of it? (1 John 5:19)
Freemasonry has nothing to do with JW’s or our beliefs. We have severed all ties with any organisations that fails scrutiny.....and believe me we have scrutinised all of them and divorced ourselves from any and all who fail the test. Any early connection has long been disconnected.
Let me put it to you this way.....Jesus said that he would appoint a “faithful and wise slave” to “feed” his household of fellow slaves, their “food at the proper time”.....so with that in mind, we know that the “slave” exists in this “time of the end”, because Matthew 24 is all about this period....the time of his return. (Matthew 24:43-45)
It’s up to us to find that “slave” and to “feed” on the spiritual “food” that he provides. Have you found him...or do you believe that you are him?
What on earth is an “orthodox”?......Catholic? What do you really know about “orthodoxy” when it comes to the Christian Faith? What do you know about it’s origins and the origins of its own heresies? Apparently very little....or you would see a pot calling the kettle, black.
I was raised in the Anglican Church and in my early twenties, I had my own moment of honesty.....I saw the beliefs of Christendom (they all basically accept the same lies) as a complete departure from everything Jesus taught and I left the church system......knowing that God existed, but not knowing where to find him.
As it turned out, he found me and he introduced himself to me by answering all my questions and allowing me to come into his family. (John 6:65) My study of the Bible, (something that I always believed was the word of God) gave me insight into what God has been doing since man’s defection in Eden. I finally understood who God is, and what his purpose was in putting us on this planet in the first place.....something the church system hasn’t got a clue about. So people like yourself are wide open to putting their own spin on everything. What is that worth to anyone else?
Are you comparing yourself to Moses? Do you see yourself in a similar role? Does anyone else regard you and your experiences as coming from God? Or is it just you?
And many people have been misled by the church system to expect all manner of things......so who is telling the truth?
How can you know, in amongst all the “weeds” that Jesus said would come, who are the “wheat”? You have to use the Bible to differentiate.....do you know the criteria....or are you not interested in finding out?
You don’t really know that....but you can believe it if you wish.
The Jews were told that Jesus was “wrong” and that he was an apostate (heretic) to their own ‘orthodoxy’....but it was the Jews who had apostatised and Jesus had come to lead the “lost sheep” out of that corrupted system. History repeats.
Daniel prophesied that a similar thing would happen in “the time of the end”......a “cleansing, whitening and refining” was going to take place at this time, and an abundance of knowledge would be made available to facilitate this cleansing of God’s worship. (Daniel 12:4, 9-10) Imagine, this prophet was given details about our day two and a half thousand years before it happened. Do you know anything about Daniel’s prophesy, since we are living in the time of its fulfilment? If God is leading you, what do you really know if you don’t have a good grasp on what the Bible teaches?
I’m afraid I see you yourself as a victim of what you stated there. Your own ‘programming’ has clouded your judgment, just as it once clouded mine.
I allowed the appointed ‘slave’ to “feed” me and my brotherhood what Jesus fed ‘him’ by means of God’s spirit. (“He” was never just one man, but a collective of individuals from various denominations who were all called together by the same voice) I tested them out by seeing for myself whether they matched the criteria laid out by Jesus and his apostles in the Bible. That is my only guidebook and I can say, 50 years later, that I have never been disappointed in the “food” and how it has nourished my entire brotherhood who are united and active in all nations and who speak all languages.
They are the ones carrying out Jesus’ command to take his message to the “entire inhabited earth”. (Matthew 24:14; Matthew 28:19-20)
Jesus said that the situation of Noah’s day would be seen again at the time of his return, and here we are. (Matthew 24:37-39)
So what are you hoping to achieve as a lone voice on an Internet forum?
God is ruling the whole show, accept it or not, it is the truth.
Freemasonry has everything to do with JW and religion in general, in special christianity, but they are infiltrated everywhere, religion, politics, media etc. Religion is one of their best tools to propagate their motto "order out of chaos", divide humanity and it is so much easier to be controlled. How do I know this? They tried to make me one of them.
I found out that the more you look outside for answers, the further you move away from these answers, you have to look within yourself, to start an introspection.
I just told you that I was born in an orthodox country, I do know its history. I just told you what they think of the JW and all those christian groups outside orthodoxy, you see, the JW have the same opinion about them, you mirror each other, it is so sad that you can no see the confusion and the division... I don't know much about the anglican church and I don't need to know, just another christian group.
You, the JW believe that Jesus is not God, so to the orthodoxy, this is the greatest heresy, you see, there are verses who talk about Jesus's humanity but there are also verses who talk about Jesus being God, of course, JW accepts only the first version, that He was a perfect man.
You have to have an out of body experience to really talk about it, you can't talk about something you don't know or never experienced.... You yourself said that the Psalm holds today true, I told you that there was at least one who did the good, Jesus, the Christ.
Please don't teach me about the Bible, I have studied it for years, from a young age when people of my age were playing outside, I was reading it, I even bought my own Bible...
Every time there is something horrible happening, people think about the end of the world, almost all people miss the most important thing, when the world drowns itself in darkness, be yourself a a Light.
I am just a guy.
