Let's look at Matt 7:22-23 for a moment, shall we,
Matthew 7:22 (ESV Strong's) 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’
These men were prophesying, casting out demons, and doing many MIGHTY works in Jesus' name, they knew the power and authority that was in Jesus' name, but they didn't belong to Jesus, they had no relationship with Jesus, that's why He said, "I NEVER knew you".
These verses go along with my response above also,
Luke 23:42-43 (ESV Strong's) And he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” 43 And he said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”
I don't need an English lesson on those verses either! My point is, that man didn't have a chance to get baptized, he didn't have the chance to go door to door, all he did was turn his heart to Jesus, that was it, and it saved him!
Like I said coward. Tail-tucking, whimpering, fleeing coward.
What does Jehovah mean? What characteristics of these collection of letters would you think it is a name (American definition) rather than a descriptor of someone's character?
Do you actually believe this?
Why would people believe god after being told that they have ignored him their whole life times?
What incentive do they have to believe if not by force?
The Holy Spirit I believe in can overcome the "imperfections in mortal man" and have the "truth" taught the FIRST time!
The witnesses have had their OWN bible since 1934, maybe earlier, why are they STILL making errors?
Lol, apparently more powerful than your god or your version of the holy spirit!
And your god can do nothing about it?
You should really read Ezekiel again, this time without the blinders on! For one, nowhere does it say, "they will have to know I am Jehovah". God is saying, when I do these things, then they will realize Who I am.
Ezekiel 5:13 (ESV Strong's) 13 “Thus shall my anger spend itself, and I will vent my fury upon them and satisfy myself. And they shall know that I am the Lord..
Ezekiel 6:14 (ESV Strong's) 14 And I will stretch out my hand against them and make the land desolate and waste, in all their dwelling places, from the wilderness to Riblah. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
God is telling what He's going to do, in His wrath, and you think it says, "Then they will know my name is Jehovah"?
God is telling of His character, Who He is, that has nothing to do with His personal name!
No, you are trying to avoid the question again by blaming others for your "true teachers" failings.
You said, "only your true teachers have the truth given to them, no one else on earth gets the truth but them".
If they are getting the TRUTH, straight from the Holy Spirit, how are they messing it up?
Every word they teach they say they get direct from the Holy Spirit, but they still mess it up and have to correct it. So is it the Holy Spirit guiding them astray, or do they NOT have the truth? When they mess up, it's either they didn't have the truth, or the Holy Spirit is just giving them the wrong info.
YHVH(Jehovah) means--- causes to become
Love is the incentive. Few on earth have the love Jesus spoke about. Even Hitler loved his family and friends---was not the Love Jesus taught. One must love their enemies the same.

How soon is very?
I have love without Christ. What incentive do I have to love christ that is unique from other religions even my own?
The only king to lay his life down for your behalf.

Go deeper than that. I've gone through the passion of christ, lived it, and do not hate it as some people.
What incentive do I have that my religion and any other religion cannot provide beyond sacrifice. We all have sacrifice in our religions. Go deeper.
Your opinion only holds value to the image in the mirror, not to me. What will you do when Jesus says the same to you?
