JW organisation?

Question

According to the society, people pay the penalty for their sins when they die-since "wages of sin is death"(romans 6:23). These people will get a fresh start on the new earth because they have paid for their sins. How ever, the witnesses who survive Aramgeddon have not died, so they have not paid for their sins. How will these witnesses pay for their sins?

i would be interested to know the criteria for being declared righteous.

Answer 1

Those that survive Armageddon have been declared righteous, but perfection still will not be achieved until after the 1000 year reign of Christ, when death will be no more

Answer 2

The paradise which Jehovah and Jesus restore to the earth immediately after Armageddon will be pure and without sin. Only people without sin will be allowed to continue there.

Those who survive Armageddon without dying will have been specifically preserved by Jehovah and Jesus. The divine Judges have determined that each of these survivors could be called "righteous" on the basis of the survivor's demonstrated faith and subjection to Jesus' ransom sacrifice. They have endured much to qualify for the gift of life in that pure sinless world!

By contrast, many or most of resurrected humankind will at first know nothing or little about Jesus and thus they cannot have informedly availed themselves of the provisions of Christ's sacrifice. They cannot be fully covered by the provisions of Christ's sacrifice until some time after their resurrection when they have learned more.

So how can both "righteous and unrighteous" be resurrected into a pure sinless world? The sins that each resurrected person committed in the former system of things are paid with his own death.

Of course, anyone who hopes to continue living in that perfect world must be careful to commit no future sin. And Christ's ransom sacrifice helps all mankind in that it ALSO covers more than an individual's sins; Christ's sacrifice covers Adamic sin and thus re-opens the path for humans to live forever.

Answer 3

Well there is no good answer, we all pay for our sins. I have been doing reserach on the JW Org.

I do find it fascinating some of the concepts they have made. Everyone will recieve judegement someday. Odds are if you aren't taken up in the rapture, you aren't going to Heaven.

However I have heard that afterwards there is something you can do to still be saved, like die insted of take the mark of the beast. I'm not quite sure I need to do reserach on it.

However the Watchtower Org. is full of false doctrine and anyone who is not righteouss and saved by Christ, there is no surviving Aramgeddon... the idea is silly, everyone must be judged....

Answer 4

It seems strange to me that instead of asking Jehovah's Witnesses your questions directly you would rather post them on this site and receive all kinds of inaccurate answers?
Firstly,there is a difference between having your sins blotted out and being declared righteous.
The Bible states that both the righteous and unrighteous will be resurrected(Acts24:15)
Through the ransom sacrifice of Jesus,everyone has the opportunity to have a good conscience before God.
The men whom God called "righteous" were men who had exercised faith in God and did not trust in their own works but backed up that faith by works in harmony with his righteous standard-Ge.15:6;Rom.4:3-9;Jas.2:18-24
Those who survive Armageddon have already been counted righteous by Jehovah because of their exercising faith in Jesus' ransom sacrifice (Rev.7:9,14)
During the 1000 year reign of Christ Jesus,both those who have been resurrected and the survivors of Armageddon will have the opportunity to prove their loyalty to Jehovah God and only then,at the end of the 1000 year reign of Christ will all those who have proven faithful and loyal be afforded the wonderful gift of everlasting life.
I have tried to answer your question.But without one on one contact it is difficult to bring out all the Scriptures have to say.

Answer 5

They believe at the Day of Judgement. Heaven for them is to continue living on earth with no sin. If you have not lived a good life then you will die. Those that have died in the past and have lived a good life will be raised up, those that havent will not. Heaven for them is eternal life and hell is eternal death.
