Ppm, the Scriptures reveal that the antichrist has been present for the last 1900 years.
(1 John 2:18) Young children, it is the last hour, and just as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared, from which fact we know that it is the last hour.
Mrg, here we go again, more JW theology, show us where it says he’s been present since 1900, especially in the verse you quoted 1 John 2:18 since many have appeared 2000 years ago, this is in nothing but another verse the WT plugs out of thin air, as usual
Once John the last remaining apostle died it reached full bloom as religion and politics amalgamated to proclaim themselves Christian. It was at this point Christendom was born only to fragment into orthodox and protestant factions.
Oh please MrG, spare me, where do you think your own watchtower originated from. From the division of Protestantism, open your eyes, when you can see this, you will know how silly this notion is and how silly the watchtower is for even teaching you this notion
(2 John 7) For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those not acknowledging Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist. From the above verse it can be seen the antichrist includes all those that deny Jesus is the Christ and that he is the Son of God who came in the flesh. They claim instead that Jesus came as a god-man or God incarnate. It also includes those that leave the Christian faith and speak against it as shown in the following verse.
Geez MrG, here we go again, everyone knows that that Jesus came in the flesh, he was touched, seen and even crucified, now show me where as I know this is meant to be ant-Catholic, or even anti-main Protestantism, who actually follows this “that deny Jesus is the Christ and that he is the Son of God who came in the flesh, “this is nothing but WT propaganda don’t be a blind Freddie
As Jesus was seen and touched, why would the apostles entertain such obvious thing that they need to write about it,
It’s quite obvious there is more to it, hence “They claim instead that Jesus came as a god-man or God incarnate” must be true.
“It also includes those that leave the Christian faith and speak against it as shown in the following verse.” This is nothing more then the WT instilling into you so you hate JW apostates as they are uncovering all the silly things the WT has taught,
(1 John 2:19) They went out from us, but they were not of our sort; for if they had been of our sort, they would have remained with us. But they went out so that it might be shown that not all are of our sort.
So much so for your argument that the early church went into apostasy, this verse tells us that apostates left the true teaching and the true church curried on, the WT wasn’t there as they came about with Russell, so there goes the notion as you being the original and true teaching.
Waffle is right in stating that Jesus' work is not yet finished.
(Matthew 13:41-43) The Son of man will send his angels, and they will collect out from his Kingdom all things that cause stumbling and people who practice lawlessness, and they will pitch them into the fiery furnace. There is where their weeping and the gnashing of their teeth will be. At that time the righteous ones will shine as brightly as the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. Let the one who has ears listen.
Of course, Jesus’ work isn’t finished, it’ll keep going till the end of time, with the help of the Holy Spirit.
Even kids know this, so what’s your problem, plus it seems like your talking about "Hell" so much for JW teaching that it doesn't exist
But, Waffle is wrong in saying it will be a new religion. Jesus will simply eradicate the weeds along with any wheat that turns rotten. Soon the political element of Satan's world will tire of its romance with religion and all false religion will be pitched into the ''fiery furnace'' from which there will be no return
Again, more WT teaching, far removed from reality, read your bible which the WT claims they have accurate knowledge off, the next return of Jesus will be the same way he went up and will come back for the final Judgment, full stop
