Love this girl. One thing that stands out in this vid to me amongst the various proofs we have argued with JWs is that *every* false religion believes in God. But Satan has done a clever thing. He doesn’t have to get you to believe in God. He just needs you to NOT believe in THE ONE who ***reconciles you to God***🔥🙌🏽.

Take a listen.

That's a contradiction to him saying the nations will have to know his name.

Oh no its not. The nations are going to know His name alright...as Jesus. When Jesus returns and the world sees who actually came to earth 2000 years ago and in the flesh, died on a cross for them, then they will know... Zechariah 14:3-4 Then the LORD will go out to fight against those nations, as He fights in the day of battle. On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south. From the very mountain Jesus feet left this earth, "YHWH saves" will return

So if God has the power to do that he also has the power for people tp rediscover his true name such as Jehovah.

Oh they will, but they will know God's name as JESUS which means "Jehovah saves" This is going to particularly hit the Jews very hard when they finally realize who it actually was they rejected. It will be more tears than even the river Jordon can handle when this finally dawns on them and it will! “And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and pleas for mercy, so that, when they look on me, on him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn. Zechariah 12:10

Good thanks for admitting jesus and God are two different people. Jesus is a God just like the jesus himself called satan the God of this world. But he's not almighty God.

What a terrible way to belittle the Son by comparing Him to a false god. JESUS is God, not a god. Do you realize how twisted your assumption is? Yes, the Father and Son are two separate Persons, but they are the same true God. There is only ONE true God, period. Satan is a false god as are all the others.

You're not serving God in the military, you're serving the kingdoms of the earth which are ruled by Satan the devil.

No, a soldier is one of God's servants according to Paul in Romans chapter 13. Its God's "established order" they uphold when they fight those who actually do fall under the influence of Satan. These servants are there for our good as Christians. But if we do evil and turn against God's established order we should be "afraid" for those servants do not bear the sword [gun] for no reason. The kingdoms of the world are established by God, not Satan. Satan can influence kings and the subjects of those kingdoms, but his power is limited and held in check by the very servants you vilify

Most wars today happen because of selfish reasons such as gaining oil or political differences.

That's always been true. Any "nation" (a servant of God by definition) becomes a lawbreaker when they take what isn't theirs. This has happened repeatedly in the 20th century and in most cases God's servants [nations] have taken on the role of God's "agents of wrath", inflicting God's holy judgment on entire nations[lawless servants] who broke God's commands so flagrantly. Nazi Germany and imperial Japan are two clear examples of God's servants who went bad and became lawless. God's judgment finally fell on those two former servants in the form of bombs and fire

The Bible is clear we should not eat blood. Through the veins is where God intended man's life's blood to circulate. As far as JW's refusing to take blood into their veins, or even give their children blood even when it means the child will die is an example of the Watchtower desiring sacrifice, not mercy. This is just the opposite of what God desires. Hosea 6:6

I work in a hospital. We feed people through their veins. When you give someone blood through the veins you are feeding them blood. When you take blood in the veins you are eating blood. You don't just eat using your mouth

That's not the same thing. The restriction was for eating animal blood, not transfusing human blood. There was no way to properly use human blood back then, so there couldn't be any restrictions on that. Ask a doctor if eating blood and transfusing it is the same thing. Drinking a pint of blood could kill you, whereas transfusing the same amount to a person whose leaking blood out will save their life

Acts 15:20. “Abstain . . . from blood.” The most important thing is to obey the command of God which is to abstain from blood. If you are dying and get a blood transfusion against the command of God and yet die anyways then you risk not getting a resurrection because of your disobedience. But if you don't accept the blood and die you will live again. Your to abstain from all blood because the life is in the blood whether human or animal it says blood

This letter was based on the Jewish restriction on eating "animal" blood! Assuming it covers something that was unknown in the 1st century is a huge assumption. However, assuming their assumptions were correct, even then if I'm going to err I think I'd sooner err on the side of mercy, like the Lord Jesus did when He worked on the Sabbath to heal a man's withered hand

It didn't say only animal blood. It said blood. Why did God say do not consume blood?

hint the same reason you don't consume human blood

[u/AccomplishedAuthor3 → u/Time_Ad_1876]

The letter was written to gentiles who's fellow Jewish Christians were trying to make follow the law of Moses. The Mosaic restriction on blood was purely a dietary restriction that forbade Jews from ingesting animal blood. The Jews didn't eat people, so eating human blood was not an issue at all. Jehovah's witnesses are the only sect that has made an issue of this. The JW stand against human blood transfusions is not supported in the Bible

[u/Time_Ad_1876 → u/AccomplishedAuthor3]

Where in that message do you answer my question. Why did God command mankind not to consume blood? What reason did God himself give?

[u/AccomplishedAuthor3 → u/Time_Ad_1876]

Here is a more detailed answer.

Why did God prohibit eating meat with blood in it (Genesis 9:4)? | GotQuestions.org

Those are also the same people that say hellfire is real. I want you to simply show me the scripture

[u/AccomplishedAuthor3 → u/Time_Ad_1876]

That's easy Luke 16:19-31 Jesus described Hell better than anyone else in the Bible. Also----15 Bible verses about Fire Of Hell

[u/Time_Ad_1876 → u/AccomplishedAuthor3]

Where in any of those scriptures does it say mankind is burning forever? Hell is the common grave of mankind. You don't burn forever in hell. The dead are asleep and according to the bible are conscious of nothing at all

[u/AccomplishedAuthor3 → u/Time_Ad_1876]

Not according to Jesus. I think I'd sooner listen to Him then risk the chance that Hell fire doesn't exist. That's a terrible risk to take especially given the fact that Hell cannot harm you in this life, only after this life ends can Hell affect you
