YOUR INTEGRITY MAKES JEHOVAHS HEART REJOICE
“Be wise my son and make my heart rejoice, that I may make a reply to him that is taunting me”
Paragraph 4:
Many believe that Satan does not exist. A lot of peoples woes rests with humans themselves. Adam and Eve chose independence from their Creator. The Devil developed among imperfect, dying mankind a world system under his control.
Because Satan is the god of this system of things, human society display the same basic characteristics that he does. Pride, contentiousness, jealousy, greed, deception and rebelliousness. (2 Corinthians 4:4)
James 14-15 says “But if YOU have bitter jealousy and contentiousness in YOUR hearts, do not be bragging and lying against the truth. This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is [the] earthly, animal, demonic.
Such characteristics have lead to political and religious conflicts, hatred, corruption and disorder which contribute to man kinds misery.
Paragraph 5:
……Are we not happy to stand up for the true God Jehovah and to explain to others how he will put an end to Satan and to man kinds woes?…..
“All those desiring to live with Godly devotion in association with Christ Jesus will also be persecuted.” 2 Timothy 3:12
Okay, lets look at this tiny snippet.
Pride, contentiousness, jealousy, greed, deception and rebelliousness.
Are you proud to be a Jehovah’s Witness? Are Jehovah’s Witnesses proud and haughty in general? They label ‘Christendom’ as evil but call themselves TRUE Christians!
Contentious:
causing, involving, or characterized by argument or controversy: contentious issues.
The WTS has caused a lot of controversy and has many contentious issues. I won’t list them all now, I am sure you know many of them.
Greed: How much money do they make a year? What do they give back to society in general or even to ‘their own’ people? When claiming that the world would end (Insert any number of dates here), they were buying shares and properties…..not a lot of faith in their own predictions!
Deception: Adding and removing words from the scriptures. False prophecies. Un-scriptual teachings.
Rebelliousness: By twisting scriptures and claiming the organization is the ONLY way to salvation and by putting unity with the watchtower ABOVE the bible is rebellion against God.
“Are we not happy to stand up for the true God Jehovah and to explain to others how he will put an end to Satan and to man kinds woes?….. “ This is all well and good as long as you stick to what the scriptures teach.
James 14-15 says “But if YOU have bitter jealousy and contentiousness in YOUR hearts, do not be bragging and lying against the truth. This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is [the] earthly, animal, demonic.
Research the Watchtower a little and you will see that THEY are the ones bragging and lying against the TRUTH. As the bible says, it is demonic. Don’t believe me?
“All those desiring to live with Godly devotion in association with Christ Jesus will also be persecuted.” 2 Timothy 3:12
YOU as a Jehovah’s Witness and not one of the anointed do not have a relationship with Jesus.
“Jesus Christ is not the Mediator between Jehovah God and all mankind. He is the Mediator between his heavenly Father, Jehovah God, and the nation of spiritual Israel, which is limited to only 144,000 members.” —Worldwide Security Under the “Prince of Peace,” page 10
“Think of a legal case in which an attorney is involved… Of course, you are not in that legal case, so in that sense he is not serving as your attorney… The people of all nations… benefit even now from Jesus’ services. Though he is not their legal Mediator, for they are not in the new covenant, he is their means of approaching Jehovah.”—The Watchtower, August 15, 1989, p. 31
Now be honest and think about all those other religions. Do you feel love or hate for them? Mention ‘Catholic’ in a Kingdom Hall and watch the revoltion on peoples faces. YOU are the persecutors, not the persecuted. YOU take the Watchtower which is written by MAN and believe every word it says without ‘searching for the truth as if searching for treasure.’ When others point out that the watchtower is wrong, YOU label them as ‘Apostate’ and refuse to listen. YOU have become hard hearted and stubborn in your thinking. YOU refuse the teachings of the scriptures when they tell us to ‘not trust in every inspired expression, but put each one to the test. “
