thou must trust christ in heart and then will your eye be open I can tell you things but you wouldn't believe just ask jesus to put the truth in your heart so your mind be free and the bible will become so you can understand.

I didn't know Russell ever claimed to be a prophet, just a devoted Bible student.

I am assuming that your one question is the one I copied from your comment above.

From the study on the 144,000, we have passed on what the scriptures say, in that 144,000 will go to heaven and they are selected by Christ since his preaching just over 2,000 years ago.

This has nothing to do with the Jehovah Witnesses. We are not a part of the Watchtower.

Now regarding your ideas on Jesus the Christ. We teach that Jesus is the Word of God and God's only begotten Son. Our answer to who is Christ is the same as the Apostle Peter's answer.

Matthew 16:15-17

15He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

16And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

17And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

I HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR ALL OF YOU WOULD YOU. JEHOVAH WITNESSES WERE founded in the late 19th century by Charles Taze Russell, with the creation of the Watch Tower Society. RUSSELL (FOUNDER OF JEHOVAH WITNESSES AND THE WATCHTOWER) WAS PROVEN AS A FALSE PROPHET AND LOOK YOU CAN LOOK IN THE ENCYCLAPEDIA AND EVEN HIS PREVIOUS BOOKS (WHICH THEY NOW TOOK OFF THE MARKET, BUT YOU CAN STILL FIND THE ONES OUT THERE) MY POINT IS, SINCE THERE WAS NO JEHOVAH WITNESS CONGREGATION BEFORE THE NINE-TEENTH CENTURY, YOU BELIEVE THAT ALL THOSE POEPLE THAT WERE AROUND AFTER JESUS DIED UP TO THE NINE-TEENTH CENTURY ARE NOT GOING TO GO TO HEAVEN?


AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF WHY IS IT THAT I READ THE NEW WORLD TRANSLATIONS AND FOUND THAT MANY VERSES WERE CHANGED AND CUT OUT FROM THE ORIGINAL HEBREW BIBLE THAT I HAVE (AND CAN SPEAK OFF).

(ORIGINAL HEBREW BIBLE) JOHN 1:1 IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD, AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD!

(NEW WORLD TRANSLATIONS) JOHN 1:1 IN THE BEGINNING THE WORD WAS, AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS A god. ?????? WHY MUST THE JEHOVAH WITNESS BIBLE PUT GOD IN LOWERCASE WHEN THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD???

MAYBE THIS WILL SHOW IT

(THE ORIGINAL BIBLE AND NEW WORLD TRANSLATIONS): JOHN 1:14 SO THE WORD BECAME FLESH AND RESIDED AMONG US.

YOU TRY TO CHANGE THE ORIGINAL BIBLE TO FIT INTO YOUR OWN RELIGION THAT WAS FOUNDED IN THE 1900'S WAY AFTER JESUS CAME AND PREACHED THE TRUTH. IF THIS RELIGION IS THE TRUTH THEN WHY DIDN'T IT FORM WHEN JESUS CAME TO EARTH??

SO YOU THINK JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN CHANGE MANY VERSES THAT IT WILL ALL BE 100% CHANGED, WELL HERE ARE VERSES IN YOUR OWN BIBLE STATING THERE IS HELL AND STATING JESUS IS GOD.

ISAIAH 9:6 FOR THERE HAS BEEN A CHILD BORN TO US, THERE HAS BEEN A SON GIVEN TO US; AND THE PRINCELY RULE WILL COME TO BE UPON HIS SHOULDER. AND HIS NAME WILL BE CALLED WONDERFUL COUNSELOR, MIGHTY GOD, ETERNAL FATHER, PRINCE OF PEACE.

JOHN 8:24 THEREFORE I SAID TO YOUR, YOU WILL DIE IN YOUR SINS. FOR IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE THAT I AM (HE), YOU WILL DIE IN YOUR SINS. (JESUS)

JOHN 10:30 I AND THE FATHER ARE ONE!

JOHN 13:13 YOU ADDRESS ME, TEACHER, AND LORD, AND YOU SPEAK RIGHTLY, FOR I AM SUCH!

JOHN 10:33 THE JEWS ANSWERED HIM: WE ARE STONING YOU, NOT FOR FINE WORK, BUT FOR BLASPHEMY, EVEN BECAUSE YOU, ALTHOUGH BEING A MAN, MAKE YOURSELF GOD.

JOHN 14:9 HE THAT HAS SEEN ME HAS SEEN THE FATHER. HOW IS IT YOU SAY SHOW US THE FATHER?

JOHN 20:28-29 IN ANSWER THOMAS SAID TO HIM: "MY LORD AND MY GOD!" JESUS SAID TO HIM: " BECAUSE YOU HAVE SEEN ME HAVE YOU BELIEVED? HAPPY ARE THOSE WHO DO NOT SEE AND YET BELIEVE."

MATTHEW 28:19 BAPTIZING THEM IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER AND OF THE SON AND OF THE SHOLY SPIRIT

NOW HERE IS A GOOD ONE

REVALATION 19:16 AND HE HATH ON HIS VESTURE AND ON HIS THIGH A NAME WRITTEN, KING OF KINDS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

NOW LOOK AT ALL THOSE VERSES THAT CALL JESUS LORD AND LOOK AT THE ONE BELOW

DEUTERONOMY 6:4 LISTEN, O ISRAEL: THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD

REVELATIONS 1:17-18 AND WHEN I SAW HIM, I FELL AS DEAD AT HIS FEET. AND HE LAID HIS RIGHT HAND UPON ME AND SAID: "DO NOT BE FEARFUL. I AM THE FIRST AND THE LAST, AND THE LIVING ONE; AND I BECAME DEAD, BUT, LOOK! I AM LIVING FOREVER AND EVER, AND I HAVE THE KEYS OF DEATH AND OF *HA'DES.

REVELATIONS 21:5-8 AND THE ONE SEATED ON THE THRONE SAID: LOOK! I AM THE BEGINNNING AND THE END. TO ANYONE THIRSTING I WILL GIVE FROM THE FOUNTAIN OF WATER OF LIFE FREE. ANYONE CONQUERING WILL INHERIT THESE THINGS, AND I SHALL BE HIS GOD AND HE WILL BE MY SON. BUT AS FOR THE COWARDS ADN THOSE WITHOUT FAITH AND THOSE WHO ARE DISGUSTING IN THEIR FILTH AND MURDERS AND FORNICATORS AND THOSE PRACTICING SPIRITISM AND IDOLATERS AND ALL THE LIARS, THEIR PORTION WILL BE IN THE *LAKE THAT *BURNS WITH *FIRE AND SULPHUR!

Understanding the 144,000 is a lengthy study, and first we must have an understanding of God's Holy Days and the plan that they show for man's salvation. The short answer is that every human being will in the end have a chance for salvation and a place in His Kingdom. The 144,000 saints mentioned are those who have qualified to become Christs Bride at His return, when He arrives on the sea of Glass to redeem them. They are the ones that have fit the job description set out in Proverbs 31 for the good wife. "Many have done well, but you have excelled them all." Anyone seeking biblical truth needs to first start following the Holy days that God commanded and stop following the Holidays of Satan, Christmas and Easter, neither of which are ever mentioned, much less commanded in the Bible. Gods true Holy Days picture a God's plan for creating a family, which is the plan He very clearly stated as our entire reason for being on the earth in the first place. He stated this during the Creation right there in Genesis. "Let us make man in Our image, after Our likeness." Yes we are to be actual members of God's family. Christ being the first of the Firstfruits, the 144,000 being His Bride (those who have excelled them all), the firstborn of the marriage being those who have done well, but not excelled them all, and everybody else being the later born children of the marriage. This is all there in our Bibles to behold. Don't take my word for it, get into your Bibles and develop a relationship with Christ who is the Word of God, the same perfect word that is written in the Bible. Do not rely on any organization or person to tell you what you should believe. When Christ died on the Cross, there was a tremendous earthquake which we are told was the sound of the curtain separating the Temple from the Holy of Holies being torn in two. What that means is that we now have the privilege of going directly to Christ without an intercessor as was necessary during the Levitical Priesthood. This means no more formal authority between us and Christ. It is up to us to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. Please do so! Pray hard, read God's word and do what you learn!

I believe that we can be perfect and stop sinning! The mainstream churches do not teach this truth. The road to life is very narrow and few find it. This is what seperates the True christians from the non-believers or babylonians parading around as christians. If I am told over and over that I am a no good worthless sinner, than that is what I will eventually believe and continue in sin thinking that all will be forgiven. By continuing to live in sin, we are denying the Power of God to change us and raise us up to walk in newness of life! Praise Jehovah! Jesus tells us to be perfect, stop sinning, and obey the commandments to have eternal life! By following the Ten Commandments, we can be perfect! Why would Jesus say, " Go and sin no more.?" Because we can stop sinning!
Matthew 5:48
John 8:11
Matthew 19:16-21
Hebrews 10:26-27 says, " For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth NO MORE SACRIFICE FOR SINS, but a certain fearful looking for of judgemnent and fiery indignation, which shall devour the advesaries."

More scriptures for thought....
1 John 3:3-10
Romans 6:1-17 and vs. 20-22
WOW, what an amazing truth that makes the word of God powerful and real! Once transformed, I am no longer a worthless no good sinner as taught by the worldly churches, but a SAINT who NO LONGER LIVES IN SIN! Christians need to stop denying the Power of God and make the leap from Sinner to Saint!

At Bible Research we do not judge individuals as being unworthy. We point out what the scriptures say about certain subjects. The rest God judges.

In a world with hundreds of religious organizations the Bible states that there is only one truth, one faith, one doctrine. It is the job of a Christian to learn that one truth or doctrine.

There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

Ephesians 4:4-6

the world has many different religions and beliefs. Myself, I have faith in the God that answers my prayers, walks w/me continues to bless me each day. How can only one book, church, religion be so sure that the rest of us are not worthy?

Jesus said if you are willing to accept it. John the Baptist is the Spirit of Elijah. The Holy Spirit seems to be revealing that the 144,000 is a sign not to be taken literally. Just like The Beast is a sign. The number 666 is a sign, not to be taken literally. Pray on it and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal it you. I am. God Bless you

I have read many of your commentaries on these subjects, and I truly feel that this was not given to you in understanding through the Holy Spirit. You have used human interpretation to write these things. I suggest you seek Father and get a divine revelation of understanding of what these scriptures mean, before posting them. And by all means test the spirit that gives you this knowledge. 1John 4
