I'm not offended at all, don't worry :). "Let (our) words always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should answer each person." —Col 4:6

However, “[There is one] faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their [spiritual] food at the proper time.” —Mt 24:45; 25:14-30

I have faith there is one “God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.” (Eph 4:6) But yes, certainly, there are people who do good in any faith. “They are the very ones who demonstrate the matter of the law to be written in their hearts, while their conscience is bearing witness with them, and by their own thoughts they are being accused or even excused.” (Ro 2:15)

Q: Regarding the divisions in the Christian congregation/church
A: “Is the Christ divided? Paul was not executed on the stake for you, was he? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?” — 1 Cor 1:13

In any case, the court didn't give an absolute divorce, as Mrs. Russel sought. However, the article you're referring to seems opinionated, including its sources. Myself, I did refer to articles made by the Watchtower. By contrast, however, Jehovah's Witnesses are well known and praised for their integrity, honesty and solidity. (It's enough to look up "Jehovah's Witnesses during World War 2" to see they have these qualities). There have been many people that fabricate accusations and distort the truths Jehovah's Witnesses really preach and stand by. (1 Tim. 6:20,21; Col. 2:8; 2 Pet. 2:3) Their contradictory accusations are but one "rotten fruit" that exposes their illicit motives and falsehood. (Proverbs 6: 17-19; 19:5).

1/3 I am not associated in any way with the Latter-day Saints' Church. Most importantly, their holy Book stands in direct contrast to Bible truth in many points. See examples.

Bible: “The soul who sins is the one who will die.”—Ezekiel 18:4

The Book of Mormon: “The soul could never die.”​—Alma 42:9.

Bible: Jesus was born in Bethlehem.​—Matthew 2:1-6.

The Book of Mormon: Jesus was to be born in Jerusalem.​—Alma 7:10.

2/3 Charles Taze Russel was a pioneer, and as such, some of his views differ from what further Bible studies revealed. Yet, court didn't find him guilty... nor did his wife! Court didn't grant an absolute divorce.

"Her own lawyer asked Mrs. Russell whether she believed her husband was guilty of adultery. She answered: “No.” [...]

Nine years after Mrs. Russell first brought the case to court, Judge James Macfarlane wrote a letter [...] His letter stated: “The ground for her application and of the decree entered upon the verdict of the jury was ‘indignities’ and not adultery and the testimony, as I understand, does not show that Russell was living ‘an adulterous life with a co-respondent.’ In fact there was no co-respondent.” " Fragments of: https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1101993040#h=19:0-25:547

Many slander true disciples of Christ Jesus, as many slandered Jesus himself (Mt 9:11; Joh 9:16-24; 10:33-37). They are the "offspring" of the Devil - Greek for "Slanderer" (Ge 3:15). But "by their fruits you will recognize them". In Paul Johnson’s "History of Christianity": “Both churches, in the main, gave massive support to the [Nazi] regime. . . . Of 17,000 Evangelical pastors, there were never more than fifty serving long terms [for not supporting the Nazi regime] at any one time. Of the Catholics, one bishop was expelled from his diocese, and another got a short term for currency offences.” By contrast, “[Jehovah’s Witnesses] refused any cooperation with the Nazi state which they denounced as totally evil. . . . Ninety-seven percent suffered persecution in one form or another.” (Hitler hated them so much, the Witnesses had their own "category" in concentration camps). "Every good tree produces fine fruit, but every rotten tree produces worthless fruit." (Mt 7:16,18)

3/3 I didn't open and don't recommend opening the third link, because it's only available unencrypted (in http), but for one, there are reported cases of Freemasons performing spiritistic/occult practices (see https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1997922#h=20:0-21:585) . Jehovah's (YHWH's) Witnesses hate and abstain from spiritism and any form of divination. (De 18:9-12; Le 19:26, 31; Ga 5:19, 20)

"Unfortunately, the 6 items in my inventory cannot be deleted. I don't recommend the game, but I show my inventory for transparency. Thank you."

PS. As to my games tab, I am unable to get rid of the 2 DLCs and soundtrack. I don't recommend the games either, but I reckoned transparency might be of more importance. Thanks.

Jesus "gave himself a corresponding ransom for all" (1 Tim. 2:6). "Through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and so death spread to all men", and "by the undeserved kindness of the one man, Jesus Christ", many were saved (Romans 5:12,15). Therefore, I must disagree that Jesus is God Almighty, for how can the sin of one man correspond to life of God Almighty? It's not God that died, but man, Christ Jesus, his Son, who himself said: “The Father is greater than I am.” (John 14:28) Further, “No man has seen God at any time.” (John 1:18) Because Jesus is inferior to God, He was able to "exalt him to a superior position" (Phil 2:9). John 1:1 indeed means that "The Word was divine", truthfully to the original Greek - Jesus has the same nature as God, but is not Him. And "Concerning that day [God's day] and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father." (Matt 24:36)
Christopher 8 Jul, 2020 @ 12:13pm 
And even if Jesus has two natures, then why didn't he mention the Holy Spirit? All of this is enough that we must not reconcile the dogma of the Trinity with the Bible, for it would be contradicting to the inspired message, and accept Jesus is part of the Creation - the first, the "only-begotten Son" (John 3:16). He is the only-begotten Son of God because "All things came into existence through him, and apart from him not even one thing came into existence" - so logically, he was the only one to be Created directly by God and by God alone. Finally, God tells us directly in his Word: "He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation". (Colossians 1:15)

He certainly did that once and for all, on the stau·rosʹ (Koine Greek word). I happily agree that, through his blood, we may be forgiven our sins and transgressions, and not suffer death like Adam and Eve have, in God's justice, for "The soul who sins is the one who will die." (Ezekiel 18:4)

Nothing else than the blood of Jesus can wash away your sin. My sin and shame is gone. I am forgiven only by the grace of God, through Faith. So what does save you? Jesus can save every sinner out there, no matter how big you have sinned. He is the Alpha and Omega - The Beginning and The End.

Jesus died for us to set us free. Everything happens through Him, and no one else. We all need an encounter with Him as our Lord and Saviour. And Jesus is King of all kings, and Lord of all lords. He did it all on that cross, once and for all. :treeoflife:
