Jehovah’s Witnesses, Armageddon and Second Death, Part 8

Jehovah’s Witnesses, Armageddon and Second Death, Part 8

Once again returning to our previous questions in regards to Armageddon. Although we are certain that many shall perish during the final climatic struggle between the old order and the new thankfully the Scriptures assure us that none of these shall see Second Death that is until first, they will have “tasted of the good word of God (the truth in its purity), and of the power of the age to come (the power of the resurrection, of divine aid…

Jehovah’s Witnesses, Armageddon and Second Death, Part 7

“What the Apostle calls the just and the unjust, our Lord in our text calls the good and the evil. That neither the Lord nor the Apostle meant to intimate that any of mankind are good, perfect in the absolute sense, is most evident from the trend of the Scriptures, which assure us in various forms that the whole race is fallen, that “there is none righteous, no not one.” The good then of our Lord’s statement, the just of…

Jehovah’s Witnesses, Armageddon and Second Death, Part 6

In our previous post we had suggested several questions which we believe that when rightfully understood will shed further light upon our subject, that subject of course being the thought purposed by the Society, that those who perish in the final climatic end of the great time of trouble, Armageddon suffer the final demise of the wicked, Second Death. However as of yet not one shred of Scriptural evidence has been produced to support this Witness doctrine, we therefore must…

Jehovah’s Witnesses, Armageddon and Second Death, Part 5

As was stated earlier, this discussion took place sometime back on another forum in which several x-Jehovah’s Witnesses as well as some active members who had joined the Bible Students forum were asked to explain the Societies teaching that those who perish during the great time of trouble (specifically Armageddon) will have been adjudged to be worthy of Second Death. Most of what we received was merely hear say, and a few vein attempts at taking scripture out of context…

Jehovah’s Witnesses, Armageddon and Second Death, Part 4

Having in our last post seen the general view on this issue as stated by the Society we now would like to see what Victor had to say. Victor states: “The war of Armageddon will cleanse the earth of all corruption and wickedness and open the way for a righteous new system of things under the rule of God’s Messianic Kingdom. (Isa 11:4, 5) Instead of being a frightening cataclysmic end, Armageddon will signal a happy beginning for righteous individuals,…

Before we begin our reply in regards to this subject we should first like to note some of what the Society has to say on the issue. The following was taken from the website: Facts About Jehovah’s Witnesses Watchtower Development Imagine for a second that Watchtower is not the true religion. As a Jehovah’s Witness, do you think it would be fair that God is going to destroy you, because circumstances led you to being involved with the wrong religion?…

Similar to our study which we did on the differences between the beliefs and interpretation of scripture between Bible Students and Seventh Day Adventist there exist the same in respects to Bible Students and Jehovah’s Witnesses. Although both groups are commonly perceived to be one in the same because of their association with Pastor Charles Russell and because they share a few similar beliefs in regards to the fundamentals or first principal doctrines of the Word of God, the “milk…

Jehovah’s Witnesses, Armageddon and Second Death, Part 1

Before we begin this discussion, we should first like to clear up a common misconception, one which has been fostered no less by the Jehovah’s Witnesses themselves, it involves who the founder of the organization was and what teachings or materials the organization uses in their studies and interpretation of the scriptures. “Contrary to what is generally propagated by both orthodoxy and the JW’s themselves, Pastor Russell WAS NOT the founder of this religious group. He was never associated with…

Who will survive Armageddon? Part 32

In our previous post we mentioned how the majority of professed believers have never fully responded to the privileges afforded them at this time. IT IS IMPORTANT to understand that ONLY those who have fully consecrated themselves to the Lord have the merit of Christ’ righteousness imputed to them and are actually justified in the fullest sense of the word. Those who merely make a profession of faith in Christ and in the work of redemption accomplish at Calvary have…

Who will survive Armageddon? Part 31

In our previous the question was raised as to whom the “good” of the world were who would survive Armageddon, we had alluded to this in Parts 12 and 16 of this study intending to come back to it later. The question we had asked in Part 16 was: Who exactly are the “good” (not just the innocent, babes, little children and etc.), but the rest of the good who would pass through the great time of trouble? We know…
