I have met many incredible individuals, some pastors or in ministries, that know their Bible really well and have contributed to my understanding. But agreed that there are many fakes too. This is why developing the personal connection with God through prayer and Bible reading is essential. It can’t be neglected or skipped over.

Yes its certainly an option. But keep an open mind. As I read the Bible I gradually started seeing more scriptures that list Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit together so I understand where that concept comes from. Its implied. However they are three very distinct persons despite working together.

💯‼️

Actually some churches don’t and they correctly say if the foundation is Jesus Christ then we are all part of the body serving different purposes.

See you in the fray! 😂

YHWH yes but it refers collectively to Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit. I will do a video on this shortly. However the only name under the sun by which we are to be saved is JESUS CHRIST. It’s important to understand there is a reason the exact pronunciation of YHWH is lost. To make way for Jesus. And fascinatingly YHWH resembles breath in/breath out fittingly for our Creator. The form Jehovah is a combination of YHWH and Adonai coined by a random monk. As its used by Freemasons as their primary gods name I rarely use that form now. It has some questionable connotations. Jesus is the name alone by which we are saved. 🙏

If you watch my previous videos they give plenty examples of how JW’s teach things that are unbiblical and even blasphemous.

@faithhopefuture The Internet's been called the "Web of lies"you make this vague claim of "plenty of examples" yet you DON'T give one of them! All you hypocrites do is name call, Jesus said his followers would be HATRED by EVERYONE.. Matt 10:22, watch the movie SPOTLIGHT with Michael Keaton some of the scales will drop off your eyes.. Guaranteed.. Acts 9:18

@@jeffnoble9757 well let’s start with ‘organisation’ being mentioned nowhere in the Bible nor that you must belong to a group to be saved. Salvation is individual not collective. Also you must partake of the Memorial emblems / communion to be saved (John 6:53-56) yet JWs systematically STOP people from partaking with their lie that only 144,000 go to heaven. Yet Jesus said there is no limit to those going to heaven. - John 14:2 Watch my video on the Memorial before you respond as you won’t be able to explain it away.

@faithhopefuture much of what you said is untrue "JW's systematically stopped from partaking" that's a LIE. 144,000 is mentioned in Revelations 7: 3-8..14:1-5.. "they have the name of the father written in their foreheads"(Jehovah) most churches rarely use that name! Jesus predicted Matthew 24:14 "the good news WILL be preached in all the entire inhabited Earth before the end comes", only a WELL organized group of people could do something that huge! (free of charge).. they're called Jehovah's Witnesses, and yet Jesus said even more Jesus said "you will be HATRED by everyone" Matthew 10:22, the internet proves those words TRUE. So get off your high horse and give a comment on the movie SPOTLIGHT with Michael Keaton. Some of the scales will fall off your eyes..Guaranteed.. Acts 9:18

​​@@jeffnoble9757 You believe movies, but say the internet is all lies? Watchtower is building its empire on the internet. Geoffry Jackson publicly stated at the Australian Royal Commission that for them (watchtower) to teach that they are the only channel of God, would be presumptuous. I hope in time, you will be honest with yourself and learn to trust the Word of God over the words of men. Salvation rests in Jesus alone. Jesus declared "I am the way and the *truth* and the life. No one comes to the Father *except through me* ." Jesus is the truth, not watchtower, not an organisation. Acts 4:12; John 14:6. Please give this some prayerful consideration rather than a knee-jerk reaction.

Great advice reading the Bible for oneself is the best way to get answers and clarity.

Erm no thanks - one cult was enough for this lifetime! 😂

@faithhopefuture cult is just a term people in power use to remain in power. Have you read the book? Read the book doesn't require any membership, it's just a book.

​@@clearstonewindowsDo your homework on LDS. Be honest too.

Well said. A fine summary.

Love hearing this. I left in 2020 and have had the most amazing time learning so much about the Bible since.

@@faithhopefuture Same here! I am so thankful that I found my way out. I wish my mom had before she passed, but I know she believed in what Jesus did for us and His resurrection, even if she was following the JW false gospel. I believe God will remember her and I will see her again. You know, what I like about your channel is that you don't come across as bitter or resentful as a result. I see a lot of that from other channels, and while I can understand some of it, it's not the way to go. You are helping people move forward with their lives and faith. I respect that!

I agree that we should call him Father because that’s the example Jesus gave. And the form Jehovah is of questionable origin. Great explanation thank you. 🙏

Yet Cornelius was not told to stop being in the Roman Army when he converted, John the Baptist told a soldier to simply treat people fairly rather than quit the army… examples in the Bible abound. Think of Naeman also, he stayed Army commander. How do you explain those?

Why do you continue to visit these channels if you feel that way about the Bible?

Remember, He's not that far away, if we truly want to get to know Him. I believe its worth any effort, to seek Him.

Thank you for watching my video. I recommend you read the gospels again prayerfully. Put aside everything JWs ever taught you. Take a fresh look. Might surprise you. As for Old Testament, it’s meant to be crazy to show we needed Jesus. However I will address in future videos some of those concerns.

@krokato5821 - I walked away from watchtower about 20 years ago. I struggled for a good while, alone. I decided no more faith. In time, the dust settled and I decided to look again; and without the filters of watchtower. Do you know something that I became aware of that helped? I realised, as God is Spirit, I had to change how I viewed Him; I came to understand that to the person walking by the flesh, the things of God are missed, not seen or understood. In fact, to the physical person, the things of God appear foolish. No wonder the Scriptures urge the walking by the spirit. This is when things change; begin to fall in to place. Think of the subject of mathematics and physics; for the full nature of these subjects to be grasped, it takes the mind of a mathematician or physicist to harness the principles and laws and to 'see' them, despite them being invisible. Similarly, the things of God need to be discerned with the mind of one prepared to look deeper, beyond the seeming obvious, in to the things of the spirit. I then decided, that humans are fickle; and that fickle nature does not and cannot stop the guaranteed Will of God from being carried out. Paul said that Jesus is the YES to all of Gods Promises. Jesus, not some charlatan organisation, is 'the way, the TRUTH and the life....'. Jesus is the promised seed of Genesis 3:15; and by his victory over this world and death, he will, at the right time crush the head of the evil one, when he returns. And he promised to return. Jesus also came to lift those who were so mistreated, it was as though they were a smoldering wick. And for such ones, he cares dearly. He knows our pains and that is why he invites us to 'Come to me all you who are toiling and loaded down.....'. I hope one day, you may feel moved to let the Holy Spirit begin its work on your heart; that is when the real teaching begins. Its beautiful, its calming and so very reassuring. I wish you the best. You are not alone. And remember, He's actually not that far away from any one of us, if we truly wish to find him. Take care.

@kathywimer8597 - Remember, Kathy, how Jesus addressed the individual faithful ones in those 7 congregations in Revelation 2 and 3? Watchtower paints a whiter than white image of their congregations, as if that would be some recommendation/proof that they are the 'truth'; but thats not what Jesus described in Revelation 2 and 3. It is the individual faithful ones that Jesus has his eyes on, wherever they stand in this apostate world. Those individuals allow themselves to be taught by the Holy Spirit, and this realisation is what moves them to be faithful, wherever, in this 'field' of the world they stand. They even shudder at the thought of bending a knee to any other but Christ. So, they fight the fine fight to be victorious in faith, whether alone or functioning with others. Its worth giving the Revelation account above some prayerful consideration in light of your question. It is Christ who is 'the way, the TRUTH and the life...', not men, not an organisation, not watchtower. I wish you the best.
