Are you saying they did not die? The wages of sin = death--they all paid it themselves.
No righteous war has been fought on earth..
Wow!
Either you skipped a lot of scripture in ministry class or you're making things up as you go along.
I skipped nothing
Wars of men are not righteous.
Its murder unless willed by God. The only wars God ever willed was through the Israelites in the ot--0 in the nt.
That is a perfect example of the twisted view of the witnesses!
The "wages of sin is death", do you not understand that verse?
If you sin, your wage for sin is death, a sinner DOES NOT PAY that wage, death is what is earned, or paid TO the sinner for sin. Sin pays us the wage of death for sinning, how do you get the sinner PAYS THE WAGE of death for sin?
Revelation 6:2 Commentary - A Testimony of Jesus ChristEven so, this is not the white horse which carries He who is Faithful and True in Revelation Rev. 19:11+. For it is the Lamb who has just loosed the first seal sending this horseman out. It violates all logic for the same person to be opening the seal and sending himself forth.3 “Moreover, it would be inappropriate to have an angelic being call forth Christ or his servants.”4 If Christ rides forth here, who is it that remains in heaven to open the remaining seals?5 This rider carries a bow whereas Christ’s weapon is a sword (Rev. Rev. 2:12+; Rev. 19:15+). This rider is alone whereas Christ is followed by the armies in heaven also riding on white horses (Rev. Rev. 19:14+). Finally, this rider sets forth at the beginning of the Tribulation whereas Christ rides forth at its end.
I do not know what the right thing to say is. What do you think "saved" means?
I don't believe you can be so stupid. Go ahead report me!
Jesus is a lamb IN HEAVEN. He opens the seven seals. Correct?
Out comes a rider on a white horse. Is Jesus then still in Heaven opening the rest of the seals?
Jesus is still in Heaven. AFTER the white horse rides (you say he rides in Heaven) another seal is opened. By whom is it opened? The rider of the white horse????????????????????????????
Please read again what the rest of the riders do, pretty please. What they do is all about THE EARTH!
That is a perfect example of the twisted view of the witnesses!

I don't agree that saved means to be in good standing with God or why would it be written, "there is no one righteous, no, not one!"?Is in good standing with God--one can lose that good standing.
I know. Even when they are right. Too bad.a commentary by a servant of a non existent trinity god-- no one with wisdom listens to them.
Then you must be making it up as you go along.
Try putting down the Watchtower publications and reading the Old Testament on your own.
Nonsense!
Obviously you've never read your bible, just Watchtower pamphlets and magazines, and/or are simply making this stuff up as you go along.
Try picking up your NWT, reading the book of Esther, and then post back here the exact scripture where God commands the Jews to kill.
I need you to pay particular attention to Esther 8:11:
Wherein the king granted the Jews that were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, their little ones and women, and to take the spoil of them for a prey,
Do you see Jehovah commanding the Jews to stand and kill or is it someone else?
When you're ready to read your bible on your own, without off-loading whatever critical thinking processes you have to some third party, let us know. We're here to discuss scripture, not to hear some talking point from a Watchtower magazine that not only conflicts with scripture, but as has been shown numerous times on this forum, even conflicts with itself.
Did God not command a war that Israel fought for their promised land?God was with Israel--His prophets told the king what to do. God is with 0 mortal govts today. He was with 0 back then except when Israel stood strong, yet they fell over and over.
Why don't you show us where any war in the ot was called righteous war?????
Dear man, @kjw47 I realize that no manner of evidence will convince you that what you are being taught is not all right but I am going to have a go of it again because I can.
Jesus has been in Heaven since his rising to it. Mark 16:19 Luke 22:69 Luke 24:51
Acts of the Apostles 1:9 Acts of the Apostles 7:55
I think that we can agree on one thing and that is Jesus does the will of God, The Father. [Call God Jehovah if you want to.]
Jesus, pictured as the lamb of God (John 1:29) is present in Heaven and it is written that he alone is able to open the seals of what is to come [or was to come]. He is in Heaven.
His opening the seals allows for something to happen. He doesn't make them happen. Another creature's voice makes them happen.
Jehovah's Witnesses say that the first thing to happen is that a voice calls forth Jesus.
The reason I did not join the chorus for the love of Ramond Franz is because he let that nonsense slide.
Instead of blah blah blahing about what the JWs do behind closed doors, I thought maybe he should have made real corrections. Now, me a silly, stupid girl has to do it all alone.
It seems the children of God must believe* that a lesser creature calls forth Jesus to ride. But I know and the Jehovah's Witnesses TEACH that Jesus only does the will of the Father.
He doesn't do his own will. Surely I can't call it true that he obeys the sound of a voice. But to be saved (according to the JWs) we have to believe* he does do the will of the voice of one of the four living creatures.
*that's the one mind thing which says to do good to the least one of the brothers of Jesus is to do good to the governing body members is to believe what they say. Nonsense? It's a good bet it is.
