I was a Jehovahs witness and put 80 hours a week out in the streets, knocking from door to door, almost married a bethalite of the watch tower building in Brooklyn NY, but thank God, He knew my heart of sincerely serving Him ,I was born again thank God
lol Jesus said the God of Abraham is his LORD quoting from the exodus, youre praying to who? Luke 20:37 Jesus said [quoting Exodus 3]: But that the dead are raised up, even Moses made known in the account about the THORNBUSH, when he calls Jehovah "the LORD" ‘the God of Abraham and God of Isaac and God of Jacob. Exodus 3:4 When Jehovah saw that he went over to look, God called to him out of the THORNBUSH and said: “Moses! Moses!” to which he said: “Here I am.” (..) 6 He went on to say: “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” Then Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at THE TRUE GOD. John 17:3 This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.
There is no jehova at all in the Bible translation kjv 1611, Jesus never mentioned that name as any name of his father, its added later, its The name of satan
Great video! I was raised JW and Jesus saved me last year. I was scared & confused with everything wrongly taught to me until I read the Gospels with a different, true Bible. God is so good! I pray my family see the truth soon
Deutr. 18:20-22 God states if someone predict and nothing happen God is not behind, that false prophets shall die verse 20. JWs God jehova is satan, never ever mentioned by Jesus as any name of his father, they all are greatly deceived, liers will not inherit Gods kingdom. Gods name is in exodus 3;14-15 I am who I am revealed to Moses in divine encounter and proclaimed by God himself.
During the lockdowns I received literature in the mail from a group of JW nearby. I mailed her back a few tracts. We corresponded a few times. Just friendly neighbor stuff. It's my turn next. What area should I concentrate on as far as literature? We have lots of tracts to choose from. Very helpful video, Ray, as always! Thank you!!!
@@MissJonas read for them Deutr 18:20 22, all their predictions has failed, let them explan why, if they do tell them God sayet he is not behind, verse 22 that prophet shall die. who is it then? its satan read kjv bible 1611 or just old Bible there is no jahveh or jehova there at all, its satan who deceives them they are all comitting adoltery. Ask them Jesus never ever mentioned that name as any name of his father, they have alter the Bible in their translation, thats a severe sin punishment in words in revelation 22. Their founder Russel is in a grave tomb just go there and check. He was a freemaison, in sculls and bonus and freemaisons in their rituals they have a coffin where they have their secret gods name its jehova. The last thing the founder (la something) of the satans church sayet was mention jehova his satans god., even in JW own books "aid to bible understanding" the first publication its there that jehova was invented by a Dominica Munch 1200 something. Doesent Jesus warns for deceptions? Its all over all these false sects religions, the will all be destroyed by God when he soon interve. He punished the Israelites sincere when they worship false Gods Read the first three comandments for them.,
@@romeab2 You haven't LIVED until you've dwelt within a Seventh Day Adventist community like I did living in Laurelwood, OR, for three years in the mid 50's. They actually believe (preach and teach) if you don't attend church on Saturday, you are aligned on that short straight path leading directly to hell. For three years I and two of my younger siblings walked a full two miles (each way) through winter weather to attend a small one room schoolhouse where one teacher valiently tried teaching seven grades a variety of subjects. However, it remains high on my 'good memories' list, but quite low on my academic aquiring skills and plagued me later on when I attended college, where it took me three attempts to finally pass 'Bonehead Enguish'......and is the primary reason I remain the atheist I am today. BHE
When my children were very young someone gave me a picture book of the Bible. As soon as I read the first line I threw it in the garbage, It claimed that that Jesus was an angel instead of being the Son of God.
Sounds like an interesting book. Was it talking about hebrews 1? Where Jesus returned to heaven and at that point was "made so much better than the angels"? Which indicates that before he came to earth he was.....?
wrong, it does not insinuate he was an angel beforehand. Read the context and also use exegesis not eisegesis to interpret. JWs use alot of eisegesis because the governing body didnt have proper training or the holy spirit to help them when they translated the NWT. @@MrMore470
@@MrMore470 I have a different interpretation. If Jesus was below than angels when He became human, (Hebrews 2:9) then it makes sense to say He became higher than them upon rising from the dead. Hebrews 2:5-8 says that God does not put the world under the subjugation of angels, but the Son of Man has the entire creation under His feet, a claim belonging to God alone. All it’s doing is elevating Jesus, not saying He is the angel of angels. 1. Is an angel one with the Father? No, but Jesus was and is 2. Do the angels share the glory of God before the world began? No but Jesus did 3. Would an angel ever accept worship? No but Jesus did! This is evidence enough for me that Jesus was not and never was an angel
@SingGladness1546 that is some good logic. It's awesome you take the time to think about why you believe something. Often people parrot what they have heard without researching. There's a few things I have found that make me think otherwise, particularly around "worship" (proskynéō) and what the term "angel" means. As in messenger. But I 100% respect your veiw. Again, it's cool to see your reasoning. Thanks.
@@MrMore470 Thank you. I became obsessed with truly knowing Jesus so I did some research into Trinity claims, Mormon claims, JW claims, Islam claims (since they claim that they know the Bible better than Christians, LOL) etc. I found that all of the views can be backed up by verses in some way shape or form. But I just can’t shake the fact that the Jews tried to stone Him BECAUSE He was claiming to be God, which is why I decided to stick with the Trinity. I appreciate anyone doing the same thing even if they come to a different conclusion I did. As long as we are right with Jesus, we will make it to the same place. So that is what matters the most to me. Thankfully, I am not the judge of knowing who is and who isn’t right with Him.
The thief on the cross is truly an amazing witness. He did NO good work, he was NEVER baptized, he was just a little earlier in the day also mocking Jesus. But through everything he saw while hanging there his heart was softened and he simply asked Jesus to remember him when He enters His kingdom. Thats all it takes. Know and trust that Jesus is Lord. Its a free gift of salvation that you can not earn. No one earns a gift, you either accept a gift or reject it.
Jesus saw his faith in his final hour. He can read hearts and minds. A baptized person can do what is evil in God's eyes and keeps sinning without regrets and is actually proud of his sins. Even though baptized before, his salvation will be forfeit. So, yes a non baptized person can get saved but God can evaluate that whether he is really repentant or not.
@@SneakySteaks-lz8zySo now you say Jesus is a liar? That would separate Him from His deity - rendering Him incapable of dying for our sins. Salvation would be impossible and the whole of mankind would be permanently destined to spend eternity out of the presence of God. Soooooo.... you decided to come here and spread a little scriptural misinformation?
I was raised in the JW'S. It took many years to come to know the "truth ". The JW'S call their religion as the truth, but I always found it difficult to uphold their standards. I have one sister still in it, and she's 75. I pray for her but we don't talk
I was brought up seventh day Adventist which also branched from the Millerites movement as did Jehovah’s Witnesses. I took several wrong turns coming out of SDA but Jesus saved me, even me!! ❤praying for your sister 🙏
Jesus founded a Church. Christ knew exactly what he was doing. He knew his followers will gather in an institution. For him not to found an insitution would be to create confusion amongst his followers, specially since he so strongly urges us to be one and not scattered. There are many traces in the Bible that Christ, besides founding a Spiritual Church which are his followers how have the Holy Spirit, actually founded a physical Church for all of his followers to gather, organize and worship Him in Spirit and truth. And history just proves this. He passed on the authority to his apostles, namely Peter. But ultimately the Church is founded by him. Just like the spirit inhabits a body, there is a phyiscal Church for the spiritual Church.@@Keys879
God has changed my life through your ministry, the Holy Ghost has opened my eyes. I was born in a Christian household and I’ve never truly surrendered my whole life to him, I thought that understood what it’s the fear of the Lord until I watched Ray videos four years ago and since then I haven’t missed any of the videos an I follow you guys on all your platforms. Please keep sharing your knowledge God instructed you ❤
My physical therapist is a Jehovah’s Witness and I’m telling you he was so knowledgeable about his new World Bible. It’s just a shame he spent all that time learning everything wrong.
then is everything is wrong how is possible that more knowledgable that most born again christians that the only thing they know is :Jesus is his own father...Jesus is Son of God almighty and also God almighty...believe it or go to hell?? that is the real shame
When u join JW they are amazingly happy .. as soon as u try to leave their religion , they will disown u and persecute u …& isolate u and never speak to u again Looks like Control to me 😮
Not exactly. If you just show up for a while, then stop showing up... you're welcome to come or go. It's not exactly a big deal. However, if you become an ordained minister, then turn your back on the congregation (either intentionally engaging in actions that appear to contradict scripture, or by joining some other religion), then you're "disfellowshipped." This means you're not considered a valid ordained minister of our congregation. That's it. No one wishes you any harm. No one harasses you. You can even still come to meetings if you'd like... you just won't be called on to participate. If people seem to go beyond "leaving" but seem to have some vendetta, or are otherwise physically or spiritually dangerous to be around... we just leave them alone and let them move on with their lives while we move on with ours. If you've got a suggestion for a more Christ-like response to people that make you uncomfortable than "just leaving them alone," you're welcome to make suggestions?
@@xlo5697 Yeah, that's all that disfellowshipping involves. You're just "no longer considered part of the congregation." It's closer to being "defrocked" than "excommunicated." The thing people tend to overlook is that what lead to being disfellowshipped can have other consequences. For example: If someone assaults a minor, how should they be treated? Whether the family press charges and the court can't prosecute, or they do prosecute, and he serves his sentence and gets out later... Do you have the right to avoid such a person? Or do they have the right to your attention, even if you don't feel comfortable around them... not "because of their congregational status," but because of the actions they took that lead to their congregational status? The disfellowshipping itself means you're no longer recognized as a minister of the congregation. But the actions that lead to that congregational status may reach farther to both social or legal consequences.
Not my experience....I shunned them, by not attending their meetings....not once was I shunned. They gave me space to do my own personal research. Praised be the God and Father of our lord Jesus Christ. ( 2 Corinthians 1: 3 ) This Jesus God made both lord and Christ... ( Acts 2: 36 )
exJW. One of the most power things I learned about coming out of that to Christ was Grace. Where most bibles use grace, the NWT uses "undeserved kindness" which is purely semantics but still too me felt like a much different thing. Grace feels like God loves me enough to want me despite my faults. Undeserved kindness feels more focused on those faults. In honestly i still at times struggle with the old JW mindset and fear that im not doing enough to deserve the reward. A common fear in high control groups that put works first im sure.
@soundthealarm83 (that would be your name lol); You can rest assured it is by God’s grace through faith in HIM (Jesus) that we are saved, and it is the GIFT of God; not of works lest any man should boast. John 3:16, Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 10:9-10, etc
@cyber895 thanks. The thought process is getting better. I still sometimes wonder if I worry/want to improve on faults because subconsciously I'm worried what might happen if I don't. Know what I mean? At least I don't fear a lightning bolt coming supernaturally anymore haha
haha you must have done something or said something to make them leave you alone,,,,,i have known some people that told them they are satanists, or went to the door without clothes or something that Made them get the point you REALLY are not wanting them to "witness"
Yes. Just being a Bible believing Christian works as an excellent repellent.. They don’t feel threatened by satanism as much as they feel threatened by the truth.
@@annikaelisaa1879 ironic, but JWs refer to their cult as The Truth, i was associated with them for a number of years and they always constantly call their dogmas The Truth, which is so bogus
Many years ago i studied with JW's for about a year . What drew me too them was they helped myself and young children through a very difficult time . But as i studied more something wasnt right i left . I pray for them as SDA LDS as JW.
Something I have learned as a 40 year long Christian is: Any organization that tells you that they are the one true church going to heaven is likely a cult. Luke 9: 49-50. John 4: 20-24. 1 Cor. 1: 10-13.
But isn't that... any religion then? Catholic churches declare to be the real church, and deny the orthodox, while the orthodox church declares the same thing. Even protest denominations say that they have the correct interpretation.
Didn't Jesus say this would be the case though? King James Version Matthew 7:13 'Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat" Many are on the broad road he said 14"Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." Doesn't that mean the road to life would be the minority? Few would find it he said. How would we be able to decern who would be on that narrow road? 21"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven." People saying to Jesus: " lord, lord" are "Christian" right? But thinking we are christian is only part of it... he said his people would be "doing the will of his father" What do you think that is?
@@MrMore470 The way is indeed narrow, but those few that are entering in are not from that one denomination. There are true disciples in many different churches, and some not even part of an “organized “ church. There are many false religions that claim to be the only ones on the narrow path. THIS is the mistake. JESUS is the way, the truth, and the life, not their denomination. Through Christ we enter heaven, NOT by men. The woman at the well asked Jesus this very question. Where to worship, and Jesus told her that those who worship God, will worship in spirit and truth, not in this “ building” or that building. Did you look up the scriptures that I listed in my comment? Also, you will know true disciples BY THEIR FRUIT. Those who obey God’s commandments by his Holy Spirit show the work of God in their hearts. Good trees bring forth good fruit! If Christ dwells in me, it should be evident in my works. They are not my works, but Christ’s works in me. ❤️
”Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.“ Matthew 5:19 KJV
I'm praying that my father is saved from that religion, and I have been trying to show him the truth (that this video is showing), but he has accepted their brainwashing... This has been one of the most difficult battles of my life.
@@moisesbeyond I'm sorry, but you will not convince a true Christian saved by the grace of God through the shed blood of Jesus (God) on the cross. JW is a false religion and a cult. Read Scripture and pray for discernment.

Thank you Ray Comfort for telling the whole truth about all the lies that this world is telling. I pray you will stay on the internet and reach young students who are taught so many. Keep it up, even if you are persuaded of its faults hoods. God Bless You
I once was witnessed by 2 Jehova witnesses, i noticed they only choose some verse from the chapter their reading to prove their point, I told them that they have to read the whole chapter you cant just pick and choose what verses fit your narrative. I also asked them who do you call when ypu find yourself in trouble, they said obviously their friend and I let them know that I call on Jesus Christ even if people are doing witchcraft on me and he saves me. They got frustrated with me because i had some knowledge of the bible they haven't knocked on my door since. 😢 I actually like talking to people about God.
I’ve gone solo in my own Christianity (primarily because of politics being used to justify breaking the Golden Rule). It’s really helped with my faith, as I’ve seen both JW’s and even some Christians commit the cruelest acts in the Lord’s name. The one downside is that I have few people to talk to about my faith. God’s people may be fewer in number than we know sadly. That, or just scattered to the wind
@@TheSuicune7 Pure Heart Ministries on you tube, great messages on the secret place before God and Garry Hamrick too Cornerstone chapel. Good teachings these two. 🙏🙏🙏🕊️🕯️🐑👌💌
That seems to be the case with false demoniations, cherry picking the parts that fit their beliefs. Either that, or interpreting the scriptures to mean what they want them to mean.
@@romeab2 make it personal between you and God. I listen to God above all, and won’t hesitate to go against any person in any position if not doing so would violate what He has taught me, even if it comes from other Christians. Jesus gave us the answers. He taught us kindness. Remember, we don’t have to agree on subjects, but regardless of our belief, it’s not justification for violating the Golden Rule.
Hi Living Waters. Great video, it is awesome to see ministries with larger audiences bringing people's attention to the teachings of cults such as the Jehovah's Witnesses. Mine is a ministry channel dedicated to helping ex or current bible-cult members to unpack their false indoctrinated teachings and approach God honestly, as opposed to being led straight into atheism as so many are. I hope that some of your audience have a look at some of my content to learn more about the Jehovah's Witnesses, their teachings, and how they can support people who are leaving the cult to find Christ. God bless you all.
Being brought up a JW fear is the biggest thing they teach on, I still struggle with that fear, even though I'm not a JW now, and haven't been for years,
Fear of what? Fear of God's Kingdom to come, and God's will being done on earth? ( Matthew 6: 10) God's government is the answer to all of mans fear in Satan's world. ( Daniel 2: 44 )
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love. (1 John 4:18, NASB)
I used to work with a guy who was a Jehovah's Witness. One of the nicest people I've ever met. Breaks my heart still thinking about it. I hope that God continues to use people to break into their false beliefs and open their hearts to the gospel. I did my best to share my faith with him. I can only pray at this point because I don't really see him anymore.
What are the first thing they did at my house was asked me to download an app so I can get a free Bible. Told them I've already got several Bibles a KJV and nkjv and NIV and the ESV. They were like "yeah but we really do encourage you to download this one and read this one." And I said "yeah that's because you actually change the words of the Bible and want me to read that version." They IMMEDIATELY said "ok have a nice day." And walked off. They were COMPLETELY closed off to ANYTHING that might challenge their cult.
The app they suggested has the KJV next to the NWT. It also has ASV, Byington, Rotherham and an interliner. We have no issues with which bible you choose to use. Most of us have many different translations. Sorry for the confusion.
From experience the hardest thing to do is get through to a Jehovah's Witness to tell them the truth of the Bible the true gospel, and the fact that you Ray Comfort were able to at least plant that seed in their minds they will hopefully see that the Jehovah's Witness cult is not the way to go, and it does not matter how many doors you knock on
I heard a guy say about 25 years ago, one of the best ways to talk to a jw is tell them your testimony!!!. if you guys talk Bible, you'll be there on the doorstep at 3am still going back n forth. But a testimony, they cant argue with that!!!
God bless you and your ministry, Ray! You have helped me so much! I’m so thankful to the Lord Jesus Christ for bringing some true Bible, believing Christians into my life when I stepped out in faith to witness for Jesus with a gospel sign that God told me to make and stand with. Since I have obeyed he brought people into my life who are true Bible believing Christians, in spending more time with Jesus, and becoming more serious about my walk with God. He revealed to me that even though I watched lots of preaching videos, and Christian content, my heart was far from Him. It brought me to repentance and full surrender, and God prompted me to lay down all the idols that had slowly crept back into my life, the excess viewing of RU-vid being one of them and have helped to renew my obedience to the Lord and encourage me, and yesterday, while we were out preaching in the streets, a woman gave her life to Jesus Christ so I would like to ask all who read this if you could, please pray that Shannon would be filled with the desire to read God’s word, and to surrender her life and her will to him to overcome the addictions that she is struggling with. God bless you all in Jesus name.❤
Thank you Ray and team for this. I had a good conversation with 2 Jehovahs Witnesses at my house. I told them about Living Waters after i also tried to explain that God the Father, Son and Holy Spirirt are one. That the earth is not heaven , it was interesting and i think i may have gotten through to at least one of them i pray. ❤ 🙏.
Half truth, twisted truth, they’ve fooled us all. If we had the full truth we’d be living like the first Christian’s in acts 2:44 but because our heart are greedy, we leave the poor starving, exploited and killed.
This video convinced me that JWs are correct. Jesus is NOT God! Does the Trinity Doctrine Make Sense or is it Nonsense? Since the Trinity doctrine claims Jesus is also the one God, an Adventist author from the 1800's wrote,"To believe that doctrine, when reading the scripture we must believe that God sent Himself into the world, died to reconcile the world to Himself, raised Himself from the dead, ascended to Himself in heaven, pleads before Himself in heaven to reconcile the world to Himself, and is the only mediator between man and Himself…… We must believe also that in the garden God prayed to Himself, if it were possible, to let the cup pass from Himself, and a thousand other such absurdities." (J.N.Loughborough) Some of those other absurdities it teaches is that Jesus is the immortal God but died, is the invisible God but was seen, is the omnipotent God but was strengthened by an angel, is the omniscient God but did not know the day of his return, is as great as His Father but His Father is greater than He, is equal with the Father and yet He is the Father, is the Son but the same age as the Father, is the Son who has a Father and the God who has no Father, is the begotten Son and the unbegotten God, is very God and very man, came out from Himself, prayed to Himself, gave power to Himself, thanked Himself, bore witness of Himself, went back to Himself, sits at the right hand of Himself, is His own Father and His own Son, left Heaven and yet was there all the time. There are many things which are hard to understand in the Bible but you can be sure that God never expects us to believe impossibilities! 😂
When Jesus encountered the woman at the well, she wanted to talk about doctrine "we have the right religion." Jesus didn't bite. He went right to her sin.
She said, "I've been learning this stuff since I was in diapers". Yet she couldn't answer Ray when he reminded her of the thief on the cross. Sadly the cult that Charles Russell started known as the Watchtower Society leads many to a false hope of Salvation thru works, and not thru Yeshua at the cross....
SDA just believes common Protestant doctrines, not like Mormons. We believe in the Trinity We believe that Jesus is 100 % God and 100 % human We believe he died on a cross for our sins We believe in his resurrection. And we believe faith alone saves. Please don’t spread hate or misinformation, you have to believe all these things in order to be considered as a Christian, JW and Mormons don’t, SDA do believes in all theses fundamental beliefs… I was raised in the SDA church and it’s just a regular denomination, I never saw abusive behavior or control by fear like in a cult. You can enter a SDA church and people will be nice to you, you can’t enter a Mormon temple or JW temple… Sorry for my bad English it’s not my mother tongue
@@Azyo62 I don't mean any disrespect to you but I don't know any Protestants that preach that the archangel Michael is Jesus. I have only heard it come from SDA and JW's. I have SDA friends here that I talk with about this subject and they can't not show where it is written in the Bible. Just read Hebrews 1:5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
@@stoner2439 We just believe archangel Michael is another name for Jesus before he was born on earth, but He is not an angel Jesus is the everlasting God, not a created being ! The word archangel in the Bible simply means who is above all angels, and Micheal means : who is like God. The Bible was not written in English. And the word angel does not systematically refer to created angels, it also designates a messenger. Jesus said the Father sent me in John 20:21. That doesn’t mean He is not God, this is showing his appartenance to the Trinity. Please don’t say a Christian Church is a cult just because you don’t agree on their doctrines…I don’t know what church you attend, but I will never say you’re in a cult just because I disagree with you. I respect you but please don’t fall on Satan’s trap of judging your brothers and sisters in Christ…
@@Azyo62 The word archangel comes from a Greek word, archangelos, meaning “chief angel.” It’s a compound word formed from archon (“chief” or “ruler”) and aggelos (“angel” or “messenger”). The Bible suggests in several places that angels have a hierarchy of leadership, and an archangel seems to be the leader of other angels. I am going to leave this debate with this last bit of information.
Was part of this cult for a very long time. Used to preach that gospel. When I found out I was wrong, it completely rocked my world. I was cut deep to my core. My family is still in the cult. I pray every day that they see the light.
Just curious, when DID you find out you had belief in the wrong religion? And how was it you turned to Christianity if that's what faith you're living now. It'd be great to hear your story. I'm from Australia so we dont get Door Knockers like at all. Are they really persistent and pushy like I've seen some or leave as soon as someone says no, which I've also seen. Thanks in Advance!

@@jacob96014 "Are they really persistent and pushy like I've seen some or leave as soon as someone says no, which I've also seen." In my limited experience, they usually ACT friendly, but will push you follow their reading regiment to show THEYRE right, they dont want to discuss anything outside their precribed verses. If you know what youre talking about in context, i've even seen/heard they dismiss you & say something like "you have YOUR truth"
I am ex Buddhist, I got saved by God in my room when I cried out. It was all Jesus even tho at the time I didnt know who God was but I said the Gospel from a comic I saw online because it was about “hell” and Buddhists are interested in the supernatural so when I called out to God with the Gospel, I didnt understand it completely but I meant it with all my heart and said “God if you are real I will surrender my life” then I confessed Jesus as lord and that he died for my sins on the cross and rose again, then asked God for his Holy Spirit and he saved me in an instant. Thats how I got saved, then Ive sought out who God is and only this last year I read the Bible for myself and God just revealed its all Jesus. Jesus is God’s Mercy to us sinners, we can choose to accept or deny. ✝️

It would also be beneficial to mention the 1975 failed end of the world prophecy to the Jehovah Witnesses. Many people left the organization after the prophecy failed.
It was one of several failed prophecies. Did you know they teach that the bad people will be taken off the planet when the rapture happens? They also teach the coming New World Order is a good thing. They are set to follow Antichrist.
I didn’t know about this. I’ve had JW’s come to my door many years ago, but I didn’t know the anything about the Bible during that time.

The adversary sure was busy in the 1800's with all these break away sects that formed. Many of them covertly tied to Masons of the mystery schools. (WT,Mormon,Millerites,SDA). The "falling away" has been incremental and now we see it snowballing with all the counterfeit light out there. Denying the DEITY of Christ and his role as mediator is all part of the end game.

I had a friend that was always getting kicked out of bars. Next day he be telling other friends how bad the bar was, and how everyone in the world should stop going there. He’d make up the worst story’s about them. I eventually stopped hanging with him. Truth was it was always his own fault. I understand getting kicked out of something can make you that mad. Whoever, my dad taught me to suck it up, confront the consequences of my actions, and never blame others for them. I do believe that advice has made me a better man. In other words you probably got kicked out because of your own doing. Stop making up stories and move on if you found something better. But honestly, you making videos tells me you somehow just can’t leave.
My best friend is a JW and she is very lost…but I have to admit their community system is perfectly constructed, they really love each other and we should take example as Christians
Have you done one for Mormons? I grew up in that cult and I’m so grateful for the Lord showing me the truth… I’m working through resentment and anger from growing up that way.
What a world, unbelievable. Who is the Living God according to Jesus and Jeremiah and who is the living God our Father according to those who supposedly love Jesus now a days? Matthew 16:16 Simon Peter answered [To Jesus]: “You are the Christ, the SON.. of THE LIVING GOD.” Jeremiah 10:10 But Jehovah is truly God. HE IS... - THE LIVING GOD - and the eternal King. Because of his indignation the earth will quake, And no nations will endure his denunciation. John 17:3 Jesus said praying to Jehovah: This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ. John 14:24 Whoever does not love me does not observe my words. The word that you are hearing is not mine, but belongs to the Father who sent me.
Yes , Jesus is Ho theos , God Almighty according to John 1 , he is the Creator of all things, same essence as The Father and The Holy Spirit . Jesus is The Light of The World

I was heavily involved in Mormonism in the early 1980's ~ 2000's and can tell you, just like JW, those who are trusting in these false gospels, they have hooks in deep in their minds, and I can only hope and pray that more people in these false gospels will have their eyes opened, and they will come to know the true word of God. I am so thankful for learning the truth, of getting out and staying away from Mormonism. I feel genuinely terrible for all my friends and family members who are still hooked in these false gospels of Mormonism, JW, and others. It is frightening knowing that MANY will will be cast into hell in the end, because they believed in a false gospel, a false teaching, a false Messiah, making God into a mortal man who ascended into Godhood (Mormonism) and all the different things JW teaches. We are witnessing the end of days, literally with everything that is going on in the world, and it will only get much much worst before the end comes. I am beginning to understand how real the struggle is, and why Jesus told us to hold on tight to our crowns of righteousness, the goal we all have, to place before his feet in honor, thanks and to give him the praise and worship he is so worthy of. The thought of being away from God's presence terrifies me, and sometimes even I allow my emotions to cast doubt if I am truly saved, but that is coming from the enemy, for if Satan can move born again Christians into apathy, into fear, to make them unable to do the will of the Father, all the better as Satan continues to do everything he can to deceive the masses, even the very elect if it were possible.
@@AndrewRusherLDS yes The same FALSE LYING gosphels, you are deceived, read Revelation 22 there is no holy or truth book after the Bible. Jesus warnes severe for deception Matt 24 Luke 21 Mark 13 he warns 7-8 times in each of thise chapters. And he stated many will be deceived. God and christ are not even religious they are monarcists a kingdom and a king.
@@AndrewRusherLDS _"We have the same gospel..."_ How can that be IF Joseph Smith restored the gospel that was lost? At what point did these other 'denominations' adopt this restored 'Mormon' gospel? If they didn't then are you saying that you have the same gospel that we have had all along? Then what did Mormonism restore? Mormonism has added quite a bit to the gospel AND also the texts. Most of it conflicts with or contradicts historical Christianity. Paul wrote to the Galatians and instructed them to be on guard against other gospels. He admonished that the bringers of these other gospels are accursed. Following that logic, do you recognize that Joseph Smith and his alleged gospel is accursed?
@AndrewRusherLDS Do you believe Jesus is a created being? Do you believe you will be a God someday? Do you believe the Father is worshipping a god above Him? Has the Father been God forever, in the most literal and extreme sense - everlasting to everlasting, as in always been God, or did He become God after a mortal life? Do you believe faith in Christ alone is sufficient for Christ's atonement to reconcile you with God, to be in His direct presence for all of eternity going forward after death, without the need for you to do any works to earn that presence ?
I have family in this trap. It’s awful and incredibly hard to overcome. I used to be very upset with them, now I’m sad because we truly are in the last days. The antichrist is walking the earth and time is short to make things right with God. Prayers for them all.
Salvation can not be earned!! It is only by the blood 🩸 of Jesus Christ John14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me
My relationship with God is between Him and I. And many times He has warned me through my very being of when I'm being led astray by these so-called 'devout'. We had 2 JW come to our church and put on nametags that didn't belong to them while soliciting their version of the gospel DURING the pastor's sermons. The pastor told them that they are welcome to the church to praise the Lord, but come to the Father 'as you are' (subtle suggestion to knock it off about bearing someone else's nametag). Two nametags were given-proper to them so they could attend honestly.
Most Christians now a day are incapable of listening to Jesus words and they dont care. JOHN 10: 34 Jesus answered them: “Is it not written in your Law [Psalm 82], ‘I said: “You are gods”’? 35 IF....

WHOM THE FATHER SANTICTIFIED AND SENT INTO THE WORLD !... ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’? Psalm 82: God takes his place in the divine assembly (heaven); In the middle of the gods he judges: 6 “I have said, ‘You are gods, All of you are SONS of the Most High.[Angel] 7 But you will die just as men do (Rebel Angels) Luke 1:32 Angel Gabriel Said: Jesus will be great and will be called SON.. of ..

“And now, Father, glorify me in Your presence with the glory I had with You before the world began” (John 17:5) compare with: “I will not yield my glory to another” (Isaiah 42:8) OR (Psalm 102:1, 25-27, NWT) 1 O JEHOVAH, hear my prayer; Let my cry for help reach You. 25 Long ago You laid the foundations of the earth & the heavens are the work of Your hands. 26 They will perish, but You will remain; Just like a garment they will all wear out. Just like clothing You will replace them & they will pass away. 27 But You are the same & Your years will never end. compare with: (Hebrews 1:8-12, NWT) 8 But about the SON, He says: “God is your throne forever & ever & the scepter of your Kingdom is the scepter of uprightness. 9 You loved righteousness & You hated lawlessness. That is why God, your God, anointed you with the oil of exultation more than your companions." 10 And: “At the beginning, O Lord, You laid the foundations of the earth & the heavens are the works of Your hands. 11 They will perish, but You will remain & just like a garment, they will all wear out, 12 & You will wrap them up just as a cloak, as a garment & they will be changed.

I have the Mormons bugging me, and I'm halfway going along with it. I'm no biblical scholar, but I can see that their beliefs are wrong. I have seen verses in the Book of Mormon that are talking about good works, and I've said to them that Jesus paid the ultimate price for our sins.
Jesus indeed paid the price for our sins, but if you do not help other living beings or if you are an evil person then you do not truly believe-follow Jesus (faith+grace) and finally you become just an hypocrite! Faith without works is DEAD, period! ps I am not a Mormon by the way
The apostles were deceiving people because they preach Jehovah resurrected Jesus? or you guys till this day ignore the Most High Jehovah and those giving witness of him? Acts 5:30 The God OF OUR FOREFATHERS raised up Jesus, Acts 3:13 The God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of OUR FOREFATHERS, has glorified his Son and Servant, Jesus Our Father and Father of Jesus, Jehovah [the God of Abraham] gave his name to Moses in the Old Testament. Exodus 6:3 King James Bible And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them. John 8: 54 Jesus answered [to the JEWS]: “ If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, the one WHO YOU [Jews] say is.. YOUR GOD [JEHOVAH]
Jehovah is a made up name. Jehovah didn't resurrected Jesus cause he is not God. John 2:19-21 King James Version 19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. 20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? 21 But he spake of the temple of his body.
@@corrinabrown7611 yes they preached Jesus and prayed to someone you ignore giving thanks for his holy servant Jesus. Acts 4: On hearing this, they raised their voices with one accord to God and said: “Sovereign Lord, you are the One who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all the things in them 26 The kings of the earth took their stand and the rulers gathered together as one against Jehovah and against HIS ANOINTED ONE [Jesus].’ 27 For truly both Herod and Pontius Pilate with men of the nations and with peoples of Israel were gathered together in this city against YOUR HOLY SERVANT JESUS, whom YOU ANOINTED,
I am a Christian and take my role as a loving aunt very seriously. I have always prayed for my nephews and nieces fervently. My 22 year old nephew has been playing dungeons and dragons for many years. I believe it has stopped him from prospering and hearing the good news. I just keep praying for his salvation.
James 2:18, 26 “Nevertheless, someone will say: “You have faith, and I have works. Show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works.” Indeed, just as the body without spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.”
After having family members in JW. and nearly marrying a Mormon, if I had to say which is worse, it be the Mormons. Both are cults, but LDS history and just what they could be capable of is worse. A good start would be to watch the movie 'September Dawn' its based on the true story of how some LDS members conspired and kill some Christians passing through Utah in the 1800s.....and what is really so odd is the fact of the date, they killed them-September 11th!
Our family had JW that kept coming. We just made friends of them. Mostly we would have general discussions. They would read some verses and talk about their beliefs but we just let them be. We went to visit them and they were always helping us with various things. The organisation is bad for those that get brainwashed easily. As with most people, despite the beliefs they hold, you can find some common ground with things to talk about. No need to fear them but for many that have become part of them they have had their lives greatly affected/destroyed. That is the concern.
You are so wrong and ignorant of what God's word says. Please if you are truly born again child of God, please read 2 John chapter 1. According to God's word we are commended to not have fellowship with them nor allow them to come in our homes, not even greet them. For he who does this partakes in their evil deeds. You obviously do not care about their souls, if you did you would tell them the true gospel of Jesus Christ.
@@Jeremiah17910 That's ridiculous. I'm not Christian so I don't have to abide by 'God's word'. Who are you to judge or guilt trip random people while being totally ignorant of their beliefs. I don't have 'fellowship' with them. So, you being a Christian of a particular denomination literary cannot associate with any outsider. That's totally dividing up the world. What sort of existence is that? I'm grateful that I am the way I am being able to mix with different cultures and people of various beliefs all around the world. That's more like oneness. Then you see people for their humanity, not for their religion. Actually quite the contrary. You don't care about their souls because you let them continue with their beliefs which you see as blasphemy. By associating with them (not practising with them) I can be an influence to potentially cause them to leave their religion. So actually you take part in a spiritual narcissism, only concerned with yourself and your apparent salvation. Only surrounding yourself with those that allign with your beliefs. Shutting out everyone else.
@Jwfghb642 I assumed you are a Christian since you were watching Ray's video and made a comment, if you would have been a Christian you would have understood the Scriptures i referenced and you would have said Amen. But since you are not a Christian it is understandable that you don't believe God's word nor do you understand it. 1 Corinthians 2:14. But a netural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he can not understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. 1 Corinthians 1:18. For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. I am glad that you are watching Ray's videos, now you have heard the Gospel of Christ, what is stopping you from repenting from your sins and trusting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. I hope and pray that you will come to Christ who loves you and proved it by dying for your sins. I pray the Holy Spirit will open your eyes to see the truth of the Gospel of Christ so that you can embrace Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and receive forgiveness of sins and a free gift of Salvation in Christ. Please don't reject the Lord Jesus Christ, come to Him and receive eternal life. If you die in your sins unforgiven, you condemn your own soul to eternal hellfire. Don't postpone it, we all are one breath away from dying since none of us know when death will take us away. May the Lord truly minister to your soul His Gospel truth and save your soul 🙏
@@Jeremiah17910 Thanks. I understand there is truth in the bible but the truth isn't exclusive to it or in the belief of Jesus in the literal sense. It cannot happen that a small percentage of humanity was fortunate enough to hear about the doctrine, believe and be saved...meanwhile everyone that missed out gets discarded. The only way is there is a truth that existed before Jesus and Christianity. A truth that everyone has equal access to, from any time in history, any mental capacity, everything considered. I cannot see people of other beliefs as different from myself that should be cut off. I agree that within JW religion there is a lot of destruction but I don't fear it or fear I can be sucked into it whatsoever. I just put it aside and see people for their humanity. Love people and make peace with them even if you don't agree with them.
@@Jeremiah17910 Beautifully put. It's only when reconciled with God by Spirit do we understand the scriptures. And about being unevenly yoked and the doors we can open by that or taking offense, which leads to a root of bitterness. Bless you for reaching out and speaking Scriptural truth. Jesus said I am the Way TRUTH and Life no man gets to the Father accept by me. I used to think that all people would be or should be defined as good and deserving of...but after actually having a relationship with Almighty God by coming to know His Son and being led by Holy Spirit, I have come to know His ways and why He is like how He is. Holy and righteous and HE does have ALL the answers to EXACTLY what we need and how to precisely deliver one. Bless you, as the sheep need to speak up but with Love and mildness. As you have done. I'm sure you would too... pray that the strongholds over people in that religion are broken and they come to truly be Born Again that Jesus speaks of in the book of John. What a gamechanger!!! Father, forgive them as they know not what they do. Father, we come to know...Forgiveness is so liberating for the spirit. And allow those with a humble and diligently seeking heart to come and be refreshed by YOUR WORD and your Son and the Holy Spirit. In Jesus mighty name Amen. 🕊️🕯️🐑🐑🐑🙏👉💌🎁🫂

Yes, I also had dealt with them for years and years as all 6 of my co-workers (I was the only Christian) were JWs and over the years I gave them lots to think about. The Holy Spirit dealt with them and the last time I talked to a couple of them they had broke away and became Christian's! They thanked me, and actually told me that they knew in their hearts I was right but was afraid of being excommunicated and losing their family. God is good!
1 Timothy 4:10 (LEB): 10 For to this end we labor and suffer reproach, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of believers. You want simple, there you go
Jesus is Jehovah, even in the NWT *Rev. 2,18/23* (NWT) 18 “To the angel of the congregation in Thy·a·tiʹraj write: These are the things that *the Son of God says,* the one who has eyes like a fiery flamek and whose feet are like fine copper [...] 23 And I will kill her children with deadly plague, so that all the congregations will know that *I am the one who searches the innermost thoughts and hearts, and I will give to you individually according to your deeds.* *Jeremiah 17,10* (NWT) *I, Jehovah, am searching the heart, Examining the innermost thoughts,* *To give to each one according to his ways, According to the fruitage of his works.*
Let me ask you this if you think Jesus and Jehovah are the same person. 1. Who was Jesus praying to while he was on earth? Himself? No that's nonsense. 2. Who resurrected Jesus Christ if he was dead for three days? He couldn't resurrect himself if they were the same person. Additionally, you're calling Jesus Christ a puppet if you believe if Jesus Christ was a sort of avatar or puppet of God. A puppet sacrifice is a false sacrifice. It's like if you made a video game character and deleted it, calling it a sacrifice even though you controlled that character as a puppet. Jesus Christ was real flesh and blood with his own thoughts and feelings and not a puppet being used.
@@soulsage1984 What you just described is a heresy called modalism. Im a Trinitarian. God is triune. He exists in Himself in three distinct, eternally co-existent persons, the Father, the Son and the holy Spirit. They all possess the one and only undivided divine essence in its fullness. The Son is uncreated, eternal-begotten and the holy Spirit comes eternally forth from the Father and the Son. The Son was with the Father, He was God, before everything through Him became, that has become. The Son humbled Himself, made Himself a man and a servant (Phil 2), and in this context the Father became His God (Ps 22,11) and is greater than Him. After His crucifixion, He rose from the death in a glorified human body, was exalted to the Fathers right side, and will now forever be the mediator, the bridge between man and God, because He is both, man and God. He is the creator, and not a creature, and there is only one God, the triune God.
@@ronm.9219 The Trinity is propaganda from the Nicean Creed and was established by them and the Constantine government. They believe the Pope as a Godhead because they see the Pope as the mouthpiece on earth representing the holy Ghost as a mouthpiece to the nations. Jesus Christ prayed not to himself but to his father, Jehovah. God cannot die, he is Alpha and Omega, yet Jesus was dead for three days and somehow resurrected himself even though he was the same person. They had to be their own individual selves just like a real father and son. A son cannot do CPR on himself to revive himself but his father can. That's why the Trinity is a joke and you feel for the Jesuits trap of the Nicean Creed. It's purpose was to find common ground with Christian and pagan beliefs. It's why Christmas is tied to the Saturnalia too. It all stemmed from there. You have to know both the father and son. Jehovah and Jesus Christ as their own separate beings, otherwise you forfeit your salvation if you choose to only have a relationship with Jesus Christ and not his father.
I so enjoyed this video. So instead of tossing a watchtower in the trash on the bus (was caught by a Witness) I found that I didn't love her but feltt I was right. I see I didn't act like Jesus and will hope to have a conversation with her instead. Thank you 4 you videos. Thank you!
I remember a little bit ago, Jehovah’s Witnesses came to my door and my mother answered it. 10 seconds into their talk, my mother (who’s a 7th Day Adventist while I’m a Christian) said to them “we’re 7th Day Adventists. We don’t believe in that stuff so have a good day.” And she shut the door. Later, I talked to my dad (who’s also a Christian) about it and he said that he had a similar experience with JW’s. But instead, he actually went to his Bible to point out the divinity of Christ. He warned me about how JW’s have their own translation of John 1:1 and that they’d expect you to turn to that. Rather than do that, my dad went to several other passages that proved the divinity of Christ like Him forgiving sins or Him knowing the hearts of men or Him saying “before Abraham was, I Am” to show He is eternal. I wish that I could’ve done the same when the JW’s knocked on my door. Rather than see it as a burden to have to spend time answering them, see it as an opportunity to share the gospel with them. It could be God’s will that led them to you that day.
this argument works vice verca, i can say the same about your bible and that is has been corrupted to make you believe in a certain church ideology and theres nothing that you can do about it, bcs you cant disprove it. but just thinking logical, the trinity doesnt make any sense!
"And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life. " Revelation 21:27 (which means like you shall not add or lie about the lamb's book of life)
When I talk to many jw’s and Mormons in Philippines. I ask them this question: do I need to be a Jehovah witness ( or ) a Mormon to gain eternal life? ( notice I avoid using heaven or hell, because it can lead to another rabbit whole , shy away from them, just say eternal life) most will say yes. So then I tell them so I need Jesus + being a Jw or Mormon to have eternal life? Then you see them getting uncomfortable. Then comes the distractions, to get you off the topic. Imagine telling the LORD that he ISNT ENOUGH , but I also needed to become a Jw or Mormon. That my friends is blasphemy. Telling the Lord his blood wasn’t enough. 😭😭😭. I have had a few tell me only Jesus. Then I say then why do you pursue me if being a Jw or Mormon is irrelevant ? Shalom.😊
In reference to the Jehova's Witness verision of John 1:1, "the word was a God", point out to them that ancient Greek never ever ever ever ever had an indefinite article (though it did and does have definite articles) so the insertion of the English article "a" is clearly an incorrect and false translation.

"I was blind but now I see" you have to remember we're all blind to the word of god because Lucifer is the god of this world. He's laid traps, smoke screens, everything he can to keep us blind from the truth and the light, its standard stuff to us because our cup runneth over with the holy spirit which shows us the evils and the temptations and helps us battle against Lucifer's ploys. It's our responsibility as Christian's to preach it when we can preach it. Whether that be to a friend, family member or a stranger you're sitting next to. It may feel embarrassing but when you look back you'll regret not sharing it when you could, how many you could have potentially saved. That's our jobs as servants of the lord. We guide others back to the flock. If one sheep leaves the flock dows the farmer stay with the rest of the 49 sheep? No he goes in search of that missing one because it's so important to him.

Why do you say that Seventh-Day Adventist are a cult, is it because we keep all 10 commandments just like they are written? The Bible says that Gods word cannot be changed, Sunday keepers change the 4th commandment that says to keep the 7th day Holy to keeping the 1st day. Nowhere in the Bible does it say to keep Sunday, God does not change!
Yeah, I don't know much about them personally, but I would not call 7th Day Adventist Church a cult unless it is teaching that to be saved one *must* obey the commandments or *must* do some sort of works. Cults teach justification by grace through faith _plus_ something else one *must do.* That's how the JWs, the LDS, and the RCs teach.

When those skeptics asked Him what they must do to perform the works God requires, Jesus told them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.” This is reinforced by John 3:14-18, Romans 10:9-10, Romans 4, Ephesians 2:8-9, Galatians 3:6-14 among other scriptures. Question: how do you reconcile that instance you cited with these other scriptures? I know how I reconcile it, but how do you? Jesus doesn't contradict Himself or make Himself a liar, does He? I'd like to hear your explanation.
