Jehovah Witness Vs Born Again Christian?

[Maureen]

A bit of a situation here, anyone say what is best to do?
I've been laid to believe the Lord would have me DO something regards it, if we are His hands, feet, voice, His body, why wouldn't we DO something AND pray?

My son accepted Christ just over a month ago, he's 28yrs his wife's a J.W. before the wed she had him try her assemblies to which (with much prayer from my brothers and sisters in Christ) the doors shut, Praise God.

He said it wasn't for him, then they wed, well recently he came home to me, said it was over, she was being physically violent, and he'd stuck it enough, while at our home, Hallelujah, he got saved, after reading a spirit filled book, 'Run Baby Run'

He then said he was going back to his wife that God was going to heal his marraige, well now he's told me he's went to an assembly of J.W. yesterday, instead of going to his own church, a great bible believing preaching church.

Right, I let him know, one MAJOR differance is, the Lord's Table, which he now participates in, reminded him he is celebrating the Lord's death by the elements of bread and wine, and he needs to be careful not to heap condemnation upon himself.

What do I do? leave it? or say something when I next see him?
what do I say?
am just tossed at present over this, but 'when my heart is overwhelmed lead me to the rock which is higher than I'

If I was you I would tell him to have no part of that cult. I'll provide you with some links you can read and educate yourself with and share with your son.

easier said than done, you'd think after months of attending it and finding out it wasn't for him, then getting saved, and now going back, I darn't mention it now without him getting very vexed.

example being:- I told him to ask his wife to go along with him to his church, he answered me by saying all are welcome to go to the J.W. assemblies.

last remark I made after the one I said above, was to tell him if we are all Christians why then does she not go along with him to church?
needless to say he never answered that.

I have lots of information on this cult I have read up on it as I knew one day I would need to know about it for such a time as this.

Thank you Cody for your quick reply and concern.

The words of Jesus could be of help here sister.

Remember the words of Jesus, please read Matthew 5-7, the sermon on the mount. It is very important and I believe it contains all the answers you may need.

He is the way, the truth and the life, no man comes to the Father, except through Him.

thank you, for the scriptures. The above verse is the one I've used to him, if you can't understand that, why can't even all other religions not understand these words of Jesus Christ?

I am actually lead to put together a page of J.W Vs Born Again Christianity, so I will put this verse on it also.

Thank You Jesus for saving this man. All His promises are yes and amen in Christ Jesus. Thank God for working out his salvation as He does all of us. His word tells us to work out our salvation with much fear and tremling. I'm reminded of Psalms 128. Sister, let the joy of the Lord be your strength. What an awesome opportunity to speak the Word of God over this situation with kingdom authority. Halleleuh! Speak over this situation the word of faith and watch God's Word manifest in this situation. Father God, what an awesome God You are. I praise You for watching over this situation. Lord, I thank You for performing Your Word in the lives of this family. I pleed the blood of Jesus over this situation. Thank you for exposing the schemes of the enemy to Your marvelous Light. Lord, as this family walks by faith into Your promises, i ask that you cancel the assignment of the enemy over this family. In Jesus name, AMEN.

I don't have the solution to the problem, only some thoughts on it. The Bible clearly tells us that we should only marry a person of the same faith, but that when a person is saved after being married already, that the choice to stay with the marriage or not, should be left to the nonbeliever. This doesn't mean that a Christian should allow a spouse to lead them astray in any fashion. I believe that the only hope for the marriage is if the Christian can bring their spouse to Jesus. If the Christian remains firm, the spouse will either become a Christian, or leave the marriage. The greatest danger in this, is if the nonbeliever is able to gain legal control of the children. Personally, if it isn't already too late, I would not have any children, until after the redemption of the spouse.

Kindly excuse me, it was a simple typing error, it's quite late in the evening here.

God bless

 

[Maureen]

OH thank you all for rallying round so fast,

no need to apologize for typing error, make them all the time.

thank you for that much welcomed prayer Rjones

also, you spoke of children, oh what a mix up, my son who's only saved weeks, has been married before and divorced, he has 2 sons to that marraige, the woman he's married to now, has 2 girls of her own who also are taken to J.W. meetings, it seems my son is being influenced by her in this spiritual battle which makes me sad, not unhappy, don't get me wrong, my joy is in the Lord, and He knows the situation.

I cannot speak the word to them, as my son doesn't come near now, it was only through texts to him, then he got very angry with me, I did that paper only didn't put J.W Vs Christianity put 'compared to' thought it was best said.

He is due to call at some time and I will give him the paper I did. wether he takes it is another matter, but I will be covering it in prayer.

I live in an unequally yoked marraige myself, so I know all about the pitfalls, although to my son's mine seems rather easy now, my husband isn't saved YET but he's nothing other than a sinner, meaning he's not belonging to any other religious groups or cults. I thank God, we were both unsaved when married, then I got saved, he hasn't as yet.

I fear for my son, at the outcome, what if he does become a J.W. after all we've been through, and him getting saved, I'm not meaning fear as in frightened, just concern as any mother would be.

The unsaved don't see J.W.'s being in the family as anything to be concerned about, they say it doesn't bother them, but it eats me up. It's because I know Him who is the Way the Truth and the Life, and when you know Him, then it matters, that's what He died for, why wouldn't we care.


Thank you all once again, much appreciated.

Sorry this was a double post.

Brother F.S.

He is the way, the truth and the life, no man comes to the Father, except through Him.

I am actually lead to put together a page of J.W Vs Born Again Christianity, so I will put this verse on it also.

I just want to point something out here. Firstly, most religions out there are cults. If one is following traditions of man, they are cults.

The only way, like the above verse says. Jesus is the way and no one can come to the Father except through him.

Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

I have spent a year, in fact over a year, studying the churches/religion, online. It done my head in actually. lol

And you will be surprised what I learnt and found out. For example, in some countries, I found out the Baptist church is a cult, because of instigating and following certain man made doctrines, which they follow. There is only one church, and that is a spiritual one, which is Christ’s Church. God does not dwell in any man made church.

(Act 7:48) Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,

Act 17:24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

thank you, for the scriptures. The above verse is the one I've used to him, if you can't understand that, why can't even all other religions not understand these words of Jesus Christ?

So has your son denied Jesus, because for what I have read and learnt, the JW's do believe in Jesus as there Lord and Saviour and they do believe in that scripture.

The one thing that does concern me about that particular religion is, that they have walked away from the power of God, healing, speaking in tongues, rebuking demos, all Manifestations, which does concern me.

Act 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.


Just ask your son, if he really does deny Jesus? And sit down and discuss it with him.

 

[Maureen]

thank you Word of Life
I can't discuss anything with my son, one he doesn't come to visit now, and he just doesn't want me to say anything to him regards it.

What I am pleased about though is he was at his own church last night I met him on the way out, and he had taken with him one of his step daughters with his own son. so praise the Lord.

The J.W. don't believe in the divinity of the Lord Jesus, nor do they believe in the Holy Spirit, so there can be no gifts in this belief.

There are lots more issues with J.W. and it just does not compare with the true Church of God built by Jesus Christ.

I am somewhat more satisfied that he was at his own church again, the Lord will deal with him, and show to him His will and hopefully he will be the tool and the light to lead his wife and family from that cult. Amen

 

[PraySay]

Lord, we say this prayer as we read it in agreement with each other and You, that your will be done with this man and his wife.
Teach us patience, perseverance and willingness to accept Your will as it is, and please reveal Your will as you see fit to do.
Break the principalities and powers standing over him in lies.
We stand in agreement according to Your word that he should walk in Your ways, according to Your divine will.
Help us trust in You that You hear all, see all and never turn Your back on us ever.
Keep this prayer in mind as You perform Your mighty task in his life, as well as in those around him.
Develope in him a divine heart for Your will and testament, in Love of Your Holy Spirit.
In the name of Jesus we pray, amen. Thank You Jesus

Praysay
what a lovely prayer to me, thank you and for taking the time in your heart and trouble to write it down and send to me.

could I ask if you would also pray this prayer for him and I will pray it EVERY night in my prayer time.

The Lord Jesus impressed on my heart to buy flowers and take them to his wife,I needed it confirmed so said so, and then my son phoned me and asked me to call to his house to pick up my other son to give him a lift, to me this was the confirmation, as I hadn't been there since before all this happened, and he knew how things were between us, so asking me to go to his house was really confirming it to me.

I also wrote a card, and I did this, saying sorry for the all ups an downs we've had. Gave Ephesians 3: 16-19 as a word I got for her, although it's to the saints, I just knew it was for her, those verses have been impressed on me for some weeks now, and it seemed right for this time.

My son thanked me for what I did, I told him Jesus laid it on my heart to, he even arranged to meet me outside the church so we could sit together, first time for that happening.

Thank you again, he does need the Lord's divine intervention through His Holy Spirit to guide and lead them into His marvelous light. I pray he will be that man for God.
