it also says in the bible Jesus died on a stake not a cross want proof on all of this read the Holy Scriptures the ones that include Jehovahs name would be a good choice.
1 Corinthians 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

This verse refers to the **“cross”. **

Peace,

Yes, only 144,000 Jewish male virgins will govern the earth. According to the Bible, the 144, 000 will be taken from the 12 tribes of Israel and they will consist of those who have not defiled themselves with women. If we’re going to take the “144, 000” literally, we might as well be consistent and take the rest literally as well.

God Bless,

And if you want to be ridiculously literal than you would have a real Lamb standing upon Mount Zion on earth. Rev. 14:1
 
Pfft read the bible mate.

his name in hebrew is YHWH or Yahweh which in english in Jehovah and it also says in the bible onyl 140000 are going to heaven come arrageddon not all of us because we will rain on earth for the 100 years when the devil is thrown into the abyss.

then after the 1000 years he will be released and then we will live forever when JEHOVAH kills him.

don’t believe me read the bible.
What your friend said is correct. The name Jehovah is not in the Bible and there is no consensus even among Jewish scholars whether the Holy Name is in fact pronounced “Yah-weh”. The holy name was replaced with the title Adonai out of respect for the Divine Name and was used little by Jews if at all. If memory serves me correctly, it was pronounced only by the High Priest on a holy feast, though I’m sure one of our learned friends here can specify the feast.
Most Jews simply refer to god as “hashem” - the NAME, or Adonai

As for the 140,000 number of the saved elect - I presume you are included in that number and I am not :rolleyes:
 
I am someone who is reading the whole bible and studying it and no one can give me answers except the Jehovahs witnesses and why is it you can only date the catholic faith back to henry the 8th oh i know because he made catholic so he could have more wifes.
:doh2:

Now let me pick nits on this one.

-Tell me, can you spot the difference between the Anglican Church and the Catholic Church?

The first and foremost difference is, well: the former is spelled A-N-G-L-I-C-A-N while the latter is spelled C-A-T-H-O-L-I-C. That should be simple enough.

-Why would Henry VIII, a king who wants to ‘have more wifes (sic)’ found a Church which would encourage monogamy? :confused:
 
It would be great if Jehovahswitness would return to answer a few questions about what he believes. Perhaps he thinks we will all gang up on him if he does?

If the pronunciation of God’s name was so important to Him, why would He allow the exact pronunciation to be lost? Is an all-knowing being unable to know whom I am referring to if I call him God? Is He somehow going to be confused or offended and think I’m perhaps referring to Baal, Jupiter, Asshur, Marduk, Tammaz, or what have you instead? How petty!
 
That is exactly the thing I fear most…the present generation not knowing their history and spreading their ignorance of it to future generations.

To quote from a novel: “If you don’t know history, you don’t know anything. You were like a leaf that did not know it was part of a tree.
I believe in history because I am here. The past however, no one knows because they have not lived in the past and you have to trust the writer, that his history is right. So it is with scripture. We all seem to think that Jesus did this, or that, but we don’t know, because we were not there. Some say, he was gay, or married, or that he really was the son of Joseph the Carpenter. that he was short, tall, very large. We see paintings of ones idea of his images, as each artist sells his image of Christ for gold and silver. We all want to be right, for it may cost us eternity to be wrong. History, who ever writes it, is wrong, it is his opinion. So I take history as a grain of salt. Is this not why we have so many religions today. We all claim we have the truth, even though we all have but one bible.

Aw. we have a Jehovah Witness among us. Greetings!!!. And what truth do you bring to these people?

You are certainly incorrect. I am a Christ Witness. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. The whole New Testament centers on Him.

I agree. The obsession some religions (like the JWs) have with using the “correct” name for God is a form of superstition and is very pagan-like.

Revelation 14
1And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads.

2And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:

3And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.

4These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

**So, only 144,000 single, male virgins are going to heaven?

Ah, How many at Kingdom Halls meet those requirements that claim to be part of that class?**

Funny, the NWT is short several books.

I love it when you people claim you know exactly what the Jews meant on what they wrote 2000 years ago, you show your ignorance, and your faults pride. And you know not Christ, you fool, you shame yourself and the very God you worship. And the Living Christ, whom you know nothing of. Go hide yourself under a rock, you are not worthy to speak his name. You have not read the scriptures if so you do not understand them. What is Faith?? explain it to me, where does it come from, how does it work, what object does it rest, and the power which to draw upon it. How are mountains moves by it, people healed by it, dead are raised to life again, greater things have I done shall you do, answer me you foolish child, you know nothing. You haven’t even began to touch the surface, you are babbling, empty words that have no value. you feed nothing, you claim authority, what Christ has not given you…and worse than that you worship a faults Christ. You swallow a camel and gag on nat. You teach the commandment of men having a form of Godliness but you deny the power there of.

Did I say anything about the Jews? You really need to go back and re-read my posts. Doesn’t even come close to anything I said.
Jesus is Lord.
 
no 1914 was when satan the devil was cast out of heaven it also says this in the bible and after 1914 we have been in the lasts days because JEHOVAH is being patient because he wants us all to live forever.
why does he want us to live forever, what are we going to do forever, play harps? Tell me what is it going to be like? just interested in after life can you tell me from your understanding.
 
I will never refer to God as Jehovah because that is not his name. “Jehovah” is the result of a misreading of the Hebrew text into which vowels were inserted by the Massoretes. It’s a mistake. Any Bible scholar can tell you that.
Hi

I also agree with you.

It is not essential that YHWH would have been pronounced Jehovah originally, it is only a guess , I think, not for sure.

Thanks

Oh I believe you, they are taken from the 12 tribes
but where are the 12 tribes? and I know they are lost, but to who are they lost to, could it be to themselves, their names are changed, through time. And the 144,000 are not Jews, Jews are only one tribe. therefore only 12,000 from judah will be chosen. Am I correct?
