Matthew 24:26
The Jehovah's Witnesses say that they have been chosen by God to teach the truth about God to the world.
They say they are the only way to learn the truth about God.
They say Christ is the head of their organization.
If Christ is the head of their organization then he is with them to lead them and Christians should give heed to them.
But if we do, are we not ignoring the warning, "So if anyone tells you....... or, 'Here he is, in the inner rooms,' do not believe it."
Savagewind,
Witnesses do not teach that Jesus has come, but that he is going to come again very shortly. The Bible tells us to keep on the watch for his coming, Matt 24:42,44.
Even though the second coming of Jesus has not happened yet, it is very close, as the world conditions prove, beyond any doubt. In Matthew chapt 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21, many of the signs that Jesus' disciples asked him about at Matthew 24:3, which are the many signs of Jesus coming. These many signs, that actually make up 39 composit signs, are so easily seen, that they pinpoint this generation that is living now to be the one in which Jesus returns. Not only are are the signs easily seen now, but they are at an unprecedented scale. For example WARS, Matthew 24:6,7, Revelation 6:3,4, more people have been killed by wars in this generation, than all the generations since Jesus uttered those words.
Luke 21:11-Great earthquakes, we have had about ten times more great earthquakes in this generation, than in the years before.
Luke 21:11, food shortages. Around one third of the world is hungry, and many NEVER have a full stomach, and many others do not have nourishing food, any many NO clean water.
Luke 21:11, Pestilences- AIDS, Ebola,, and many other diseases, and now doctors are scared to death, because the next great plague is overdue, and many diseases that were easily cured, now have no medicine that will cure them.
Notice 2Timothy 3:1-7, Do these scriptures remind you of people today???
What about the first chapter of Romans, starting with verse 14???
Think about 2Peter 3:1-7
2Timothy 4:1-5, these say that people will not listen to truth, but will gather preachers together to teach them what they want to hear. Think about today, if a preacher was hired and he spoke the truth, he would be fired within a few weeks, at tha most. People do not want truth, they want their preachers to make them feel good about themselves, even though they know they are living lives that are not acceptable to God.
Titus 1:16, says that people say they know God, but their works prove they are lying.
Jesus taught that only truth was acceptable to God, John 4:23,24, Paul taught the same, 2Thessalonians 2:9-13, Ps 145:18.
According to all the signs that Jesus told us to look for, Jesus is near, at the door, Luke 21:31,32.
Don't wait until it is too late, Luke 21:25-28. If a person has not learned before Jesus comes again, let will be too late, 2Thessalonians 1:6-9.
