One particular problem with the Jehovah's witnesses is that they turn the immense, eternally existing, infinitely vast God of a multidimensional
cosmos into a giant cartoon character, an anthropomorphic extraterrestrial who will eventually come to Earth to sit on a literal throne in order to
rule the vast cosmos from a single earthly point in space & time. You do not believe in the spiritual dimensions of the heavenly realms, despite Paul
the apostle & others making an explicit case for those realities in the New Testament.
You also affirm that the Archangel Michael is Jesus Christ, one & the same, a statement of belief which is literally absurd, they are two very
separate & distinct entities.. One is the creator of the entire multidimensional cosmos, the other is a warrior angel from amongst the ranks of the
heavenly hierarchy, indeed he is from the second lowest order of angels, the Archangels. Only the ordinary angels are lower in status, hence how on
Earth could your forebears have confused the two? It is literally absurd!
Furthermore, you believe that nobody will be resurrected at the last day unless they are a Jehovah's witness.
I think it's fair to say that's a very uncharitable view which limits the mercy of God to a simplistic human level of being in or out of a special
club. Of course other churches, notably the Roman Catholics, also suffer from this false understanding which is limiting of God's grace, but in the
Protestant community there are generally agreements that God is gracious in the extreme, far more merciful than any human could ever be - and if I can
forgive someone who has offended me in some way, surely God is far more excellent in the application of forgiveness? Didn't Jesus clearly state that
we should forgive 77 x 7 times per day if our brother offends us? So why would God have less power to forgive than us flawed humans?
Please, tell me some more of your beliefs so I may refute them with very simple Bible research. It is very well known amongst all members of the
various massive Protestant church groups around the world, such as the Evangelical Alliance, that the Jehovah's Witnesses are a heretical sect, a
pseudo-Christian cult in essence, believing a lot of very wrong things & leading unsuspecting people into error.
Literally the only thing you have going for you is that some of your Bible studies are well researched & insightful. Trouble is, there's far too much
that you get wrong, preventing you from otherwise being justified as ordinary Christians.
