You seem to be heavy on the rants of the false prophet Paul. As for Rev 19:1, that is with respect to the "angels" in heaven. As for Mt 5:19, apart from some modern Weymouth bible, that is not what is stated. As for the "kingdom", that will be ruled from Jerusalem (Zech 14:16), and as for...
All of the wonderful Jehovah’s Witnesses that have come to my door have expressed no desire for a heavenly hope. Their desire is to be on Paradise Earth forever. And what could be wrong with good food, a nice house, domesticated wild animals and beautiful scenery?

According to the scriptures breaking anyone of Gods 10 commandments is the very definition of what sin is. If you break anyone of Gods 10 commandments according to James in James 2:10-11 we stand guilty before God of breaking all of them. Those who continue practicing known unrepentant sin...
According to the scriptures, which are the only definition of what is true and what is not true (Romans 3:4; John 17:17) 'Israel' "born after the flesh of the seed of Abraham", as an unbelieving 'nation', is left desolate (Matthew 23:38; Luke 13:35), to bear no more fruit ever again (Matthew...
This is blasphemy of the most high via spaghetti on the wall fallacy. "God's new covenant" you say.

"All those who...

an uncreated doesn't have a beginning or end, all created things, forms have a beginning and yet god is within, intrinsic to them.
John 1:3 there was nothing created that wasn't created of it. AUM

Tenet I is practically the same as the golden rule and other examples:
"... clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience." (Colossians3:12)

People gravitate to whatever pleases their ego as much if not moreso than when people turn to virtues. Things such as virtuous love and also mercy love are not well understood. However if one seeks what is true, or in accordance with virtues, they'll find out a lot about virtues and vices...
Yes, if virtues were fully understood in this world they would overflow or seep out of people.
