This is the story: I was cutting up some vegies for my delicisous vegan meal, hehe and two elder korean Jehova witnesses came to my door, they understood basic english but we talked in korean, this wasn't the first time they were here. every time they came i listened to them then they left after saying what they had to say, and everything they said was based from the Bible and in fact, i already learned it from church before hand. But they did manage to sneak in weird things like, The Father-Jehova The Son- Jesus and supposebly the holy spirit was just a name for the father's power. I claimed shnadigans on that one, i didn't let it get to me, i told i disagreed and they were fine with it and they would leave. But this time our discussion/bible study was longer. They opened up typically with giving me a couple zines(skimed over, and in the trash). They were talking about the signs of coming of the end of the world. 21:11 and there shall be great earthquakes, and in divers places famines and pestilences; and there shall be terrors and great signs from heaven. a bunch of other passage about signs of the end of age and somewhere in matthew i think, they interpreted one of the verses that the church will divide and they pointed out the divisions of; baptist, presbytarian, etc etc. But she said this one with emotion attached to it, like she despised it. I ignored her expression on her face and just nodded and mentioned that our church also mentioned that the end was near. <I forgot to mention earlier but when i opened the door and saw who it was i did a quick prayer that the holy spirit will be present and bless our conversation, and expose the truth and that either one of us will twist the bible's meaning and if one of us does that he will expose it and i believe he indeed did.> Then they said some weird things like seeing the signs of the second coming of Jesus means he's already here. We just don't see them with our physical eyes. That right now we are in the middle of judgement day. I was straight up and shook my head and they discussed among each other he dosn't believe that part. I decided to ask them then, "what is your purpose of coming over?" and the first they said was what they weren't here for. Not to convert me in to a Johova wit. Because religion doesn't matter as long as we were saved through Jesus Christ, but they were here because they intepreted the Bible right, and THEY wanted to teach us to interpreted the Bible. and as one of them said this, i noticed i didn't see what Jesus said was our greatest witness to the world, our love for each other. i know i shouldn't judge but from their body language and eveything it seemed more like a competition to who understood and studied the bible. With our power. so i said i think the holy spirit can help us intepret the bible right, and they said the holy spirit is only a name for the power of God and not an actual being. Again i shook my head in disagreement. Happens so about a month ago i studied about this that the Holy Spirit indeed is a being and also God. Oh, Praise the Lord, haha as i write this i just connected that God planned all of that, so that i don't fall for their cult. Jesus you have saved me once again!!!!! Another thing i shook my head on was that they argued that yes Jesus is the Son of the Father but also he is the top general of angles. Uh yeah. But they opened up to the book of Revelations and it had something hinting to that. I'm not sure what to say about that, but I have a feeling Jesus is God. not an angle. Jesus is God. and i can't wait till the second coming of Christ. How glorious that day it will be. |
