December 2018 Watchtower Study Review – “In what sense was the apostle Paul ‘caught away'”?

February 8, 2019

We are continuing our review of the December 2018 Watchtower Study Edition. In this review, we skip next week’s article to instead discuss more interesting questions as it relates to 2 Corinthians 12:1-4. What is the “third heaven” and what “paradise” is being referred to here? Topics of discussion: heaven, paradise earth, the anointed class, … More December 2018 Watchtower Study Review – “In what sense was the apostle Paul ‘caught away'”?

Christian Life and Ministry Review: November 20-26, 2017

November 12, 2017

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

Does Matthew 11:11 teach that John the Baptist won’t be in the Heavenly Kingdom?

June 11, 2014

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 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

Debate is posted! Proposition: “All New Covenant Christians Will Live Forever in Heaven with Christ.”

June 23, 2012

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.  To be honest, I don’t think this has ever happened in history whereby such a debate was recorded and made available.  JW’s are usually quite shy to ever give a second thought … More Debate is posted!

John 14:1-3 – The Great Crowd inherits the abodes in heaven? (Jehovah’s Witness issue)

May 12, 2012

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?
