Some good advice for all who search for the truth? You might have missed it the last time I posted it.?

Question

I believe that going by what you see in a particular religion, not just it's teachings alone testifies to whether it's the true religion or not. A prophecy from Jesus harmonizes with this statement.

"Likewise every good tree produces fine fruit, but every rotten tree produces worthless fruit; a good tree cannot bear worthless fruit, neither can a rotten tree produce fine fruit. Every tree not producing fine fruit gets cut down and thrown into the fire. Really, then, by their fruits you will recognize those [men]. Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will. Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name?’ And yet then I will confess to them: I never knew you! Get away from me, you workers of lawlessness."-Matthew 7:17-23

(continued)

"By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves.”-John 13:35

With this being said, which religion do you believe is living in harmony with the bible's teachings, including being united worlwide in purpose, conforming their entire lives to harmonize with bible counsel rather than the other way around, and doing God's will which is preaching the good news of his kingdom?

I personally only see this in Jehovah's Witnesses. The fruitage they show is great compared to any other. Many agree that if the entire world lived by God's word the bible like they do, it would certainly be a better place.

Please read everything people, the question was stated.

Answer 1

Yes, Jehovah's Witnesses clearly have all the indications that they truly are God's servants. No other group has so many millions of adherents working so hard to spread the word as Jehovah's Witnesses have.

Answer 2

roc, do you know any Amish people? They have very strict moral standards and are - in general - peace loving people who have a very close relationship with their Amish brothers and sisters. They don't believe in fighting or retaliating. They do however practice shunning of those who don't live up to their standards. They believe in Jesus and it's obvious to all that they endeavor to be separate from the world. So when God looks down from heaven on his children, is he supposed to just throw away people like that because they don't have the label that YOU think is the correct one?

I've also noticed that Seventh Day Adventists and Mormons seem to - in general - be different than the mainstream of Christianity in their morals and lifestyle. They also point to the wonderful things they've accomplished and see that as evidence of God's spirit and blessing on them.

No religion has got it all correct. I'm sure you recognize that, too, but if someone points out the flaws in your religion, do you apply Matt 7:17:23? No, probably not, because even though you think sincerity isn't enough to please God for people in other religions, you trust that YOU will not be judged harshly because after all, you're sincere and trying your best. Think you might be a little biased? God is not partial. He sent his Son in behalf of ALL his children, not just the ones that agree with you. He isn't confined by our opinions of right and wrong.

No religion does the will of God perfectly, including yours. The criteria for forgiveness is faith in Jesus' ransom; that's why people of your religion can be forgiven if you don't have it all right, and that's why other people of other religions can be forgiven, too.

Besides, He doesn't judge on a group basis; he reads our hearts and judges us individually.

Answer 3

The only religion that I know of that doesn't have ANY rotten fruit is would have to be agnosticism. But it's certainly not in touch with the bible, or anything else for that matter. And I gueeeeeeeeeeeess you could say that indecisiveness is rotten, sloth being one of the sins, but then again I'm not convinced.

Answer 4

I am a Baptist myself, so no comment about Jehovah's Witnesses. There is one thing you should know, they say the Lord has retuned in ninteen twenty something, and I say not if, but when Jesus returns, saint and sinner alike will see Him, not just a few. He will be seen by the entire human population on earth at that time.

Answer 5

He asked, Which religion do you believe is living in harmony with Bible teachings? Why don't you read all the details? And I say Jehovah's Witnesses are the only ones living up to Bible standards and doing the will of God while exercising faith in the ransom sacrifice of Jesus Christ. LooneyDude, did you not read Jesus' words where he says, Do not think I came to put peace upon the earth: I came to put, not peace, but a sword. For I came to cause division, with a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a young wife against her mother-in-law. Indeed, a mans enemies will be persons of his own household. He that has greater affection for mother or father than for me is not worthy of me: and he that has greater affection for son or daughter than for me is not worthy of me. Matthew 10: 34-37. Jesus knew not all would accept the truth and it would split households. stullerri, Jesus returned in presence in 1914 just as he left this world, unseen. He has returned in that he has been given the throne of the Messianic Kingdom in heaven and has turned his attention to the earth, ruling in the midst of his enemies, separating the sheep from the goats. Lucky Fokker, I have explained 1914, was not to be the end of the world but a turning point for mankind, which it was, starting with WW1 and rapidly declining since. The other dates I am not personally aware of as I became a Witness later than 1975, but I do know they admitted to their mistakes of trying to figure a date and have since stopped knowing the scriptures to state it does not belong to us to know, only the Father. Even Jesus disciples were figuring that the kingdom of God was going to come in their time until Jesus set them straight, so we are not alone in this matter, it's an easy mistake to make when your eagerly anticipating the coming of Gods Kingdom when everything is so horrible and we would like to see it end. that is why Jesus said to pray for Gods Kingdom to come in our prayers.

Answer 6

HEY! Don't you know? The Religious Dogmatic ones have what is called "Biblical Babble" which can explain "Everything" in the Universe and beyond!

"Biblical Babble" is a wondrous thing. It can explain God and Creation and all things you haven't even thought of before you even think them! Man what a tool! If I had a tool in my Garage like that I could make anything and everything and be my very own God. 8-)

Answer 7

Yes, the two shattered families I've known is testament to the fruit of the spirit at work in the JW's.

Answer 8

Actually, I DID miss this the first time, and I'm sorry I didn't miss it again. I am happy that you are so happy with your life choices. I am happy with mine, thank you.

As for your implied question, No, I have no interest in becoming a Jehovahs Witness.

Answer 9

Do you have a question here, or are you just preaching?

by the way, preaching is not allowed here, and only fools would think that copy/paste is an opinion on anything

Answer 10

JW is banned is several countries because it is a cult. You warp people's minds so they don't even want to visit their families. JW takes all joy out of life, including holidays, family, etc.

Oddly, JW encourages you to be poor and unsuccessful. What a bunch of loosers. Mormon's can afford a bike.

The reason you seek to convert others is to mask your own doubts of your beliefs. The reason you can't get out of JW is because your "friends" will disown you. That's a cult.
