This is the title of an article taken from the January 15, 1981 issue of the Watchtower, pages 27-30, in which the Watchtower society relates how wrong it was for some first century Jewish Christians to require that Gentiles become Jewish proselytes in order to be saved. However, in their modern day application of this […]
Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” The Jews then said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?” But he was speaking about the temple of his body. When therefore he was raised from the dead, […]
Is the Watchtower society a false prophet? In the previous article we noted the statement made in The Watchtower February 2017 study edition on page 26 paragraph 12: “The Governing Body is neither inspired nor infallible. Therefore, it can err in doctrinal matters or in organizational direction.” However, a careful review of the organization’s history […]
For Christ died once for all time for sins, a righteous person for unrighteous ones, in order to lead you to God. He was put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit. (1 Peter 3:18) For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might […]
There is One who dwells above the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers. He is stretching out the heavens like a fine gauze, And he spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.

Jesus spoke of performing the resurrection at the last day: And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day. (John 6:39 ESV) For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks […]
And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous. (Acts 24:15) With the creation of the first human pair, the only mention of death was a punishment for disobedience. Adam was told that if he […]
It is widely taught that man is comprised of a material body and an immaterial soul. At death it is believed that the immaterial soul survives the death of the body and goes on to experience conscious existence either in heaven with God or experiences conscious torment in hellfire.
