Was Jesus a witch hunter too? ?? Because he often pointed out the wrong in others religion. He warned of wolves in sheep's clothing, of false teachers, false teachings, of sin and of wrong, of the selfish and greedy, of jealousy and hated, so many things, he called some names vipers and snakes, vile and > "Sons of the Devil, belonging to the devil, their father the devil often. < Shocking he called them that wasn't it? He denounced many of the religious leaders of his day, He denounced a whole town (a whole town) where he had done so many of his miracles, because they hadn't repented of their sins and turned to God. He denounced those who kept sinning when they knew better.

And get this teaching >>>>> He said many worship Him in vain because of their doctrines. <<<<<< (just a few wrong after all many had many things right even in his day--wonder why he didn't just accept that rather than calling out so much sin??? )

He denounce the rulers, people often and he rebuked many.And when his followers made error he told them too.

And the Apostles did the same to others. Remember Paul calling out Peter (wasn't Peter an Apostle known for Jesus's work? Paul wasn't there following Jesus--but he did it called him right out on his wrong) And called him out in front of everyone? And so did many good people of God all through the bible.

Sons of the Devil , belonging to the devil, children of the devil, not new names at all. In the bible from the early books on. Many good people called people that. Some were called that even because they were accepting just a "few" (just a few) heathen practices not all.

I guess under your way of thinking of a witch hunt, Jesus and others fit that description -well.

Have become sons of their father, the devil!...

-I guess they could look at that example and should be glad they are in good company for doing those very same things imperfect as you may think all are for such things

Many than the multitude hated them for calling out wrong, they felt no one should have the right. And they hated the followers often did to. Hmmm do I see a pattern here???

You know I do. I really, really, really do !!

But they will lose out those who didn't listen than and only heard what they wanted to hear. Might be a lesson there for us all.

I don't think people put people down for not knowing the bible mostly only for not listening but clinging to things even after they heard the truth and should know better. Or they reject things just because they don't want to hear or do them at all. Many Preferred empty pleasant sounding philosophies the book tells us. A tickling of the ear. A good self examination of our faults after being told is not always easy. We often hate the one who told us too. Been that way it seem since time began with the Prophets and many good people who spoke what others didn't want to hear.

There is an old quote I find it true--"

“People say they love truth, but in reality they want to believe that which they love is true.”

No no one is perfect you are right but many try harder than others to be good. And that is hard enough. Know what I mean?

Add on--yes many fakes here some you know right off and some in sheep's clothing> most are smart enough to know the truth in that. I didn't even have to become a wittiness to see that. Some are even putting on quite a show for me. And some backed away. I got a mean bite for sins at times. And for kisser ups too. It's a curse of my own I am working on. "Beware of the wolf in sheep's clothing" --that sure is true today as it was than.

We don’t *create* any such categories. That’s a lie.

The category of apostate is scripturally based. And what you’re linking to was nothing the Jehovah’s Witnesses on Y/A got started. As I think you know, there are countless people pretending to be Jehovah’s Witnesses or making up fanciful stories about us. See my response to “Swimmer” as just one example:

The basic point is that if someone comes online, starts attacking the Christian congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses, and claims to be a member in good standing, then we have to seriously doubt those claims. The Bible says we can know them by their fruitage. If a 15 year old girl who claims to be a Jehovah’s Witness (a pioneer indeed!) shows consistently bad fruitage by attacking the truth, then there is nothing wrong about concluding that apostasy is going on.

For example, true Jehovah’s Witnesses do not go around calling others “idiots.” And they don't involve themselves in pornea. I could write more, but I suspect the truth would be wasted on such as you.

God made two camps. He didn't say The Jews and some worshipers of wrong are okay. You want to say he was wrong too?

Ever read Kings?

2 Kings 17:41 Even while these people were worshiping the LORD, they were serving their idols. To this day their children and grandchildren continue to do as their fathers did.

They were condemned for it. You can't sit at two tables as much as people want too.

It is a product of indoctrination from their leaders. They have a Bible interpretation set up for them in such a way that plays straight into a format designed, so that they become obligated under the organizations control. Sad but true! What you are talking about here is one of the tactics of reassurance and diversion. It works by demonizing everyone who is not Jw

Because they are all dumb.
