Revelation 2
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Message to Ephesus
2 “To the angel of the church in Ephesus write:
The One who holds the seven stars in His right hand, the One who walks among the seven golden lampstands, says this:
2 ‘I know your deeds and your toil and perseverance, and that you cannot tolerate evil men, and you put to the test those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and you found them to be false; 3 and you have perseverance and have endured for My name’s sake, and have not grown weary. 4 But I have this against you, that you have left your first love. 5 Therefore remember from where you have fallen, and repent and do the deeds you did at first; or else I am coming to you and will remove your lampstand out of its place—unless you repent. 6 Yet this you do have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will grant to eat of the tree of life which is in the Paradise of God.’
Originally posted by menace71Right. And the Jehovah's Witnesses have false doctrines and destructive heresies, like no blood transfusions and the Arian heresy.
Also Christ said He did not come to make peace but by the nature of the message it will bring a sword.....But also Christians need to stand against evil and false doctrines and destructive heresies.

When a Christian tells you something and supports it with the word of scripture you will not believe, but are like the ones spoken of below:
[b]For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but having itching ears, they shall heap to themselves teachers in accordance with their own lusts.
(2 Timothy 4:3 KJV)

So what's new about this fact? Nothing at all.

It makes me sad to see what satan has done to this earth and to many of the humans on it.
The bible is clear on satans ways and the absolute strongest trick he uses is false religion to confuse ones of his truths even to the point of having Saul convienced he was doing God's will by having ones killed for what he percieved as doing wrong in God's eyes.
So it is satan that is the evil one, not you.
So yes I am sad for all that satan has done to ones like yourself who have fallen to man's doctrines instead of God's truths.
But there is always hope just as there was for Saul.
Originally posted by galveston75I see myself as a Christian and the JWs as Antichrists. You guys are always trying to denounce his resurrection and ascension in the physical body and deny His deity by claiming He was only a created angel. Whereas we Christians are continually trying to exault Christ to the highest state of Godhood possible as King of kings and LORD of Lords and as the One worthy to be worshipped as our Great God and Savior.
