"Fake Religions & Such"

 
Like most of you, I suspect, I was brought up with a weekly Sunday visit to "Sunday School". It was always interesting and fun and gave us an appreciation of Lord Jesus. However, what was never explained was why Jesus' intervention was necessary. What sin was. Why He had to die etc. My entire education, scripture wise, was based on the baby, Jesus. All our end-of-year plays revolved around the Magi and the babe in the Manger. Which is why...years later, I found myself unable to argue with the Jehovah's Witnesses who had managed a grip hold on my sister. I couldn't argue because I had zip Bible knowledge. However, the year that I studied with the JW's, opened my eyes to scripture proper. All through the "study", I had the strong feeling that something was not right. They focused on idiotic stuff like Jesus was "a god" and literally changed their Bible to reflect that. The JW Bible reads, in John 1:1 that....In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was "a god". Diminishing Jesus to lower case "god". They justify this by quoting the scripture John 10:34 where Jesus asked if it wasn't written in the Law, "I have said you are gods?". This is enough for them (JW's). And it's enough for a total Bible illiterate to have an AHA moment. The second scripture they quote (in order to justify their belief that when you die...you die. Until the Day of Judgement) in order to get you to believe that you, as a human being, have no soul or spirit apart from your body is because they bastardize 1 Corinthians 15:43-44. They shorten it to say, "Where there is a natural body, there is a spiritual body". Then they claim this means that, where there is a human body on earth, there is an angelic spiritual body (non related to you- in heaven). So - you are a human on earth and in heaven there are spiritual angels. Angels do not have a physical body - much as a physical body, does not have a spirit. The two are separate entities. I know.... it's gob smacking Biblical twisting. 1 Corinthians 15:43-44 actually reads ( talking about the human being) "It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness,; it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body".

This clearly teaches us we have both. The JW's also deny that Lord Jesus was raised in the flesh. They claim that Jesus, being a special case, you understand, was raised a spiritual body. Which is why the disciples did not recognise Him, at first. I could bang on and on, but the prime reason for this post is to emphasize just how subtle and sneaky these cults are.... luring in Bible illiterates by the thousands.

You will enjoy this link from the rapture Ready website: Written to the Mormon people.( I know... but these wretched cults are all the same to me. Destructive, misleading and soul destroying). It's a very clever piece of writing.
