Title: Eternal Life on Earth
Post by: Jason76 on August 22, 2014, 06:53:21 AM
Jehovah's witnesses believe that man lives forever on the earth, except for 144,000 chosen by God.  What is the universalism answer for this?

Not their time to know.
1 Cor 15 talks all about how the resurrection works.
Key point being verse 23 " Each in his own turn."

I suspected they were a false religion, but I'm not judging their salvation.  They do have elements of truth (I was a JW for a few years), but it's very arrogant of them, to assume they know it all.

One of the primary sins of the fallen nature of man is the need to "know"; to be "right"; to draw the lines and insist others stay within them. Eating from the tree of knowledge(mind over spirit/knowledge puffs up) instead of the tree of life(spirit and heart over the mind/ faith, humility and wisdom)

Paul said if any man thinks he knows anything he doesnt yet know as he needs to know.

Somethings are seen through a glass darkly, and thats all their is to it LOLOL
