I know
ninja I am targeting this girl though, because I can be a not-so-nice person, and she is not so nice herself.
I'm confused.
Jesus thread.
mrgreen Okay, I see what you mean.
I was going to further my comment by telling her that the bible said his followers were going to suffer because of their assocoation with him but had to post quickly to help my husband.
By the time I got back to the computer I saw your message.
Yup, and this includes all the followers. I'm tired of hearing about the "persecution" of Christians on Gaia.
They whould know it's coming too.
Did you know that the bible talks about a time thats coming where
all religions will be destroyed?
Revelations, perchance? I think I have heard of this, but doesn't this have to do with the end-times and it becoming harder for Christians to stay faithful?
Yes, but that times not far off and it doesn't only include christians.
Looking at the world condition today it's rather easy to see how this is going to be able to take place. There is growing hatred for all religions around the world and people are just looking for a chance to tear them apart. The governments of the world are going to give them this chance by denouncing religion and stripping them all bare.
But it's not going to have the effect the governments were hoping for because religion is the one thing that was keeping people in check and giving them hope.
This all starts at the great tribulation and ends at armageddon.
I do not believe in the End Times, however, I find it incredibly interesting to think that the Christian Jesus' second coming will be much like the coming of the Mashiach.
I do believe that religion gives a guidline of morals and without some form of structure, our society will fall apart. Many atheists would disagree with us, of course, however if you noticed their morals are a doctrine of the Noahic Laws minus the G-d bit.
I think it's because we are still relatively new to atheism, but I will hate to see the Earth in a few generations.
Witnesses believe that the bible points out that Jesus has already come and taken his position as king, as was promised to him by his father.
Who is Mashiach?
Other Christian doctrine (outside of the Bible, so I never understood where this came from) states that Jesus will arise yet again and welcome his "children" into heaven, which makes absolutely no sense unless we are "dead" until this happens.
I think it's Catholic doctrine because I have always remembered that this confused me.
Mashiach means "the anointed one" in Hebrew. He is the Messiah.
Ah, that (mashiach...the annointed Jesus) was the sacred secret that the bible talked of being hidden until the right time. Jesus released this secret when he read the scripture in the synagogue for the priests that had gathered to hear him read from the scrolls. They were stunned when he told them that today the scripture was fulfilled and told him he was blaspheming God.
We don't believe that we're going to heaven when Jehovah starts the war of armageddon. We believe that he'll have his people protected here on earth and get rid of those who are ruining the earth...i.e. all who oppose him.
Believe me, there is a time coming when all the world will unite to destroy Jehovah's Witnesses. The enemy of my enemy mentality will unite the world at a time when it is falling apart.
Witnesses won't fight back because we truly live by the words that we're to love all men and to not hurt anyone. Only God has the right to judge. We're just his messengers here on earth.
Did you know that according to Judaism that Christians are equal to Jews in importance?
The belief is that there was such a decline in the belief of Hashem that He allowed the emergence of Christianity for gentiles to spread the word of G-d among their people.
By this reasoning, this is why there is no condemnation to Christians (whom otherwise we think practise idolatry by the Trinity) because they are the word of G-d among Gentiles =].
I just wish some sects could chill-out and stop condemning other sects and Abrahamic beliefs. Catholics for one
surprised I know what you mean, but it won't happen. Things are set in motion and Satan knows he has a short time left. He doesn't care who he takes down with him.
Theres probably going to be alot of bloodshed when the governments make their move against religion as I know most religions won't go without a fight. Most people in religion get involved with wars where they kill others.
Jehovah's Witnesses knows whats coming and we told to not get involved in hurting anyone else when the governments make their move.
As for the jewish people, the bible says that God released them as his favored nation because of their false practices. Thats why the Roman's were allowed to destroy and sack Jerusalem and why Jesus was sad about it. He knew what they were losing and that truth faith would be lost for thousands of years.
But he also knew that his father was going to have a new nation made out of all the nations, tribes and tongues of the world. That all lovers of righteousness would be invited to seek God through Jesus Christ and learn how to live their lives according to Gods words.
I got called a Satanist because I don't believe in the trinity, or wear a cross because it's idol worship. But thats part of the false teachings that got spread through priests and ministers who were after their ow gain and glory and not out to do the work of God.
I couldn't believe that but, let it go. I let alot go because I don't like to argue and fight about something that should be discussed maturely.
I like things peaceful. But sadly society is getting more violent.
