Were the wars that Jehovah commanded to be fought righteously accomplished?
I didn't see anywhere in the ot where a war was called righteous.

Were the wars that Jehovah commanded to be fought righteously accomplished?
Does anybody know why the governing body has to be the faithful and discreet slave and that the rider of the white horse (Revelation 6:2) has to be Jesus?
Let's see, is 5 years too far in the past for you? For 100 years they taught they were appointed over ALL your gods belongings, up until 2012. In 2013 they finally decided they weren't, and they won't be until Jesus comes again.
I wouldn't want to serve a god that let his people be taught a lie, error, misunderstanding, or whatever YOU want to candy coat it with for 100's of years before he would correct it. I can hear it now, your god says, "that's not what I meant, oh well, they can believe that for a few hundred years and I'll set them straight".
Your 'slave' is no different that the 11 Apostles that walked this earth, please point me to one teaching they taught that they had to come back and say, "that was wrong, we erred, it should be this", just one!
I bet if the past of your cult was all true, the past would mean something today, wouldn't it! But since it was all garbage, it doesn't matter because it is the past. How many people you think lost their families, friends even lives because they didn't believe the trash that was taught? Do you even consider that? What about the blood issue, your god commanded not to take in blood. How many people died because they wanted to 'serve' your god. Then your god changed his mind and said, "blood fractions are ok i guess, let them make the decision". How many people, including kids did your god let die before he changed his mind?
So, if your meek slave teaches an "ERROR" that your god hasn't willed the truth for yet, they have "run ahead of jehovah" right?
He says it is because they believe in a trinity God so even if they say something that is the pure and forever truth, he can't believe it because of how they view God.
I've asked you questions you can't answer. You're experiencing a normal response and its perfectly understandable.
You're still making things up as you go along. Can you show me where I made this bogus assertion of yours?
First you respond with answers that have nothing to do with the question asked, then you challenge me on a position I haven't taken.
Bizarre.
But let's get back to your assertion and my question again. You stated Jehovah always willed Israel to war. I responded with the book of Esther. Have you been able to find that passage in Esther where Jehovah willed the Jews to war?
Or is this another one of those bible "truths" that no one can find in scripture?
Why are you so afraid that anything a non-witness tells you to read will cause you to see the Trinity? Are you afraid of the Epistles? Are you afraid you will see the truth and realize how deceived you've been? Are you afraid if you see the truth you will look foolish?
Romans chapter 6 has nothing to do with the Trinity. And why is it that is all you cult members can drum up, the Trinity, that's all you got.
I asked you to read the entire 6th chapter of Romans, to show you that that one verse you use to claim our deaths pay the wage of sin is a lie and you're afraid to see it. It will make your 'slave' look foolish and you can't have that.
I think you are missing the point at 100%. IF God commands a war IT IS RIGHTEOUS!I didn't see anywhere in the ot where a war was called righteous.
Really? Then why, pray tell, are you obeying the made up **** of the governing body of Jehovah'sThey are the only teachers on earth teaching all that Jesus taught
He receives his crown--only Jesus is getting the crown.
Paul had to correct Peter on a matter. Error teachings got in in Peters book that had to be corrected.Titus was left behind to change error teachings--Gods chosen scholars of the day( Pharisees and saducees) had many error teachings in place--they outright refused to make correction.
See the pattern--error teachings get in-- no matter who you are--the wise make correction--the unwise do not, they think they are standing strong, even though the bible warns not to believe that.
I said--Israel fell away many times and did their own will. When they stood strong--Jehovah commanded war.
direct quote--- the wages sin pays is death. it is 100% clear. Death pays ones own wage for sin.
Jesus death did not pay for them. Or they wouldn't have had to die
I think you are missing the point at 100%. IF God commands a war IT IS RIGHTEOUS!
Yes, or no?
Really? Then why, pray tell, are you obeying the made up **** of the governing body of Jehovah's
Witnesses? It has to be because to you they have a figurative crown!
Was Esther wrong to go to war?
Apparently it isn't!
Sin pays the wage of death, just like YOUR "direct quote" the wages SIN PAYS is DEATH, the sinner doesn't pay the wage, he/she EARNS the wage of death by sinning.
One doesn't pay ones own wage with death, we pay our DEBT for sin.
Since you're afraid to read it for yourself, here it is, don't worry, I left the Trinity out just for you!
Romans 6:1-8 (ESV Strong's) 1 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? 3 Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. 6 We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. 7 For one who has died has been set free from sin. 8 Now if we have died with Christ,
Tell me how you get we must die physically out of the above.
I particularly like this misquote from the gospel
it regards John the Baptist
Luke 3:4
"As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet:
'A voice of one calling in the desert, 'Prepare the way for the Lord,
make straight paths for him''.
So the gospel scholars make a strong distinction that it was John proclaiming 'in the desert' then quotes.
Here is the actual Isaiah quote.....
Isaiah 40:3
"A voice of one calling: 'In the desert prepare the way for the Lord;
make straight in the wilderness a highway for our God.'"
As you can see, they misquoted between 'in the desert' and 'prepare the way of our Lord'.
they moved the break of exclamation
So it is not, a voice of one calling in the desert: 'prepare the way'
it is, a voice of one calling: 'in the desert prepare the way'
the prophet wasn't in the desert, the highway of the Lord was.
I don't know why they haven't fixed that typo after all these years?
I think you are missing the point at 100%. IF God commands a war IT IS RIGHTEOUS!
Yes, or no?
Only if lead by a rider of the white horse--White signifies-righteous--no mention of white in any mortal war.
Was Esther wrong to go to war?
If it wasn't commanded by God it was wrong. David once held a censor without Gods approval. God was not happy with him. So how would he feel if human lives were taken without his say?
