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?

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?
