What does Revelation 20 teach us about the millennium? There are three major perspectives: Pre-millennialism: when Jesus returns and institutes the resurrection, the millennium begins. A-millennialism: the millennium (as an undefined period of time) begins in the first century with the life, death, and resurrection of Christ and continues through the church age until Jesus … More Revelation 20 and the Millennium
Writing is something I rarely have time for, but a JW apologist argued in the comment section of a pretty old article against my position.

Topics of discussion: prophecy fulfillment, 1919, the anointed class, Watchtower’s false predictions, the resurrection. This week we’re doing something a little different. Ideally, i’d want to review everything the Watchtower puts out monthly. But due to my busy schedule, that’s just not possible. Due to a pretty uninteresting Watchtower Study Edition for next week, I decided to take … More Christian Life and Ministry Review: November 20-26, 2017

Before we delve into Matthew 11:11, let’s briefly go over the Watchtower’s two-class theology. They teach that all Jehovah’s Witnesses will be eternally separated into two metaphysically distinct locations: heaven or earth. The anointed 144,000 of Revelation 7 will rule and reign with Christ in heaven while the remaining “great crowd” live on paradise earth. … More Does Matthew 11:11 teach that John the Baptist won’t be in the Heavenly Kingdom?
The Jehovah’s Witnesses believe in a “two class” theology whereby only 144,000 will reign in heaven for eternity. The rest of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, or the “great crowd,” will reside on a paradise earth. The focus of this article will deal with the Watchtower’s belief that none of the saints mentioned in the Hebrew Scriptures … More Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and the Kingdom of Heaven
This post will be reviewing an article written by the Watchtower titled, “Do all faithful Christians go to heaven?” While it is common for the Watchtower to mention their so-called “two-class system,” it is not all that common for a full article to be written on the subject.

I can’t tell you how excited I am to have been given this opportunity to debate one of Jehovah’s Witnesses in audible format.

Proposition: “All New Covenant Christians Will Live Forever in Heaven with Christ.”
In THIS VIDEO I go through a series of cross references found in the New World Translation to show that the Great Crowd inherits the abodes that are supposedly in heaven. This argument can be very simply demonstrated by following the cross references beginning in John 14:2, which takes you to Luke 16:9 and then to Matthew 25:34. … More John 14:1-3 – The Great Crowd inherits the abodes in heaven?
