The WBTS is a cult and will always have very many excuses for its many errors.

When you change God's word you find many other scriptures that had supported the original that you need to change as well and then those with other.......

Just ignore them and the way they are going now will soon disappear.

In John 3:3 , a vision given to the apostle John disclosed that Christ’s fellow rulers are individuals chosen “out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation” and will “rule as kings over the earth.” (Revelation 5:9, 10; 20:6) God’s Word further reveals that those who will rule as kings form a “little flock” of 144,000 individuals “who have been bought from the earth.”—Luke 12:32; Revelation 14:1, 3.

God’s Kingdom is a HEAVENLY government made up of Jesus Christ and a group of fellow rulers chosen from among mankind. He meant that one needs to be born again in order to become a ruler with Christ in heaven. Simply put, the purpose of the new birth is to prepare a limited group of humans for heavenly rulership.

(Daniel 2:44) “And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite;''

What does this tell us about God’s Kingdom?

FIRST, it tells us that God’s Kingdom was to be established “in the days of those kings,” or while other kingdoms still existed. SECOND, it tells us that the Kingdom will last forever. It will not be conquered and be replaced by some other government. THIRD, we see that there will be war between God’s Kingdom and the kingdoms of this world. God’s Kingdom will be victorious. In the end, it will be the only government over mankind ruling from the heavens. Then humans will enjoy the best rulership they have ever known.

Christ will fully accomplish what Adam failed to do. In his model prayer, Jesus linked earth’s future to God’s Kingdom, saying: “Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth.”—Matthew 6:10.

When Jesus was on earth, he—as earth’s future King—could rightly say to the repentant evildoer impaled alongside him: “You will be with me in Paradise.” (Luke 23:43) The Paradise that Jesus had in mind would be on earth, as God originally purposed.

This fact is well supported in the Bible. Consider the following texts.

“The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.” (Psalm 37:29)

“There will come to be plenty of grain on the earth; on the top of the mountains there will be an overflow.” (Psalm 72:16)

“The upright are the ones that will reside in the earth, and the blameless are the ones that will be left over in it.” (Proverbs 2:21)

“They [the blameless] will not do any harm or cause any ruin in all my holy mountain; because the earth will certainly be filled with the knowledge of Jehovah as the waters are covering the very sea.”—Isaiah 11:9.

In harmony with those statements, in his famous Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said: “Happy are the mild-tempered ones, since they will inherit the earth.” (Matthew 5:5)

Later, the apostle John wrote: “The tent of God is with mankind . . . He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” (Revelation 21:3, 4)

Clearly, these Bible texts refer, not to a heavenly “paradise,” but to a physical one here on earth.

To be ""born again" is to change your attitude from what you were PREVIOUSLY.

This is the case where people from other religions, or no religion at all, have studied the Bible and made the personal decision to be baptised as

J.W.'s.

But J.W' s are NOT what the general public call ' born agains'.

John 3;3 means to understand what the KINGDOM is...an actual governmental system on the earth...ruled over by Jesus...as the APPOINTED king.

(Acts 3:20) and that he may send forth the Christ appointed for YOU, Jesus,

WHO ? is the "he"...who appointed Jesus.

It can only be his father in heaven, Jehovah.

(Hebrews 1:2) has at the end of these days spoken to us by means of a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the systems of things.

again, "he" is Jehovah.

Yes! All earth will be part of the complete Kingdom.

Just as Matthew 6; 9,10 says...In heaven and on the earth...

Oh, my goodness you asked alot of Q's. o.ok. enable's begin. a million) the dominion of God that we are looking forward to being an element of is here on the earth. The one hundred forty four,000 are to be in heaven (it truly is the dominion of the Heavens which you 1st stated) to rule with Christ over the dominion's matters, us here on the earth. Us, meaning all of mankind. here on the earth below Kingdom rule remains the dominion of God, basically no longer in heaven. 2) The one hundred forty four,000 are made up of committed men over a volume of time. they don't seem to be particularly Jehovah's Witnesses as we / you comprehend of them on the instant. yet, Jehovah's Witnesses, specific, as in Jesus grow to be the 1st and ultimate committed Witness of Jehovah. 3) we are precisely specific the way it truly is set; by using Jehovah God Himself. 4) the component of our faith is to be genuine worshipers of Jehovah the genuine God. To make His call universal. To have a relationship with the genuine God, Jehovah aka YHWH. To be preachers and instructors of the sturdy information, of God's incoming Kingdom. to help others benefit precise understanding. And specific; Jehovah and Jesus choose all mankind to instruct around, and are available to a correct understanding of God and His will and objective for mankind and the earth. it somewhat is an element of the clarification, that Jesus sent out preachers in pairs of two. 70 total. We do what Jesus advised his followers to do. "bypass and pontificate and instruct the dominion of God".... What you pronounced to Sybok, does not follow to Jehovah's servants.

Greetings,

First, your question is fatally flawed because of a failure to do adequate research. If you had done even the slightest research into a Bible concordance, lexicon or dictionary you would have seen that the terms "Kingdom of God" and "Kingdom of heaven" are used as an all encompassing term in Scripture to describe *various* aspects of God's rule. It is used of either the literal heavens, or the present spiritual kingdom state, or the future millennial rule on earth.

Only the context can determine whether the intended reference is to the God's heavenly realm or to the earthly realm or whether it is present or future. Cf. Mt.5:3,5, 10 w/Ps. 37:10,11,29.

Next, it is important to be aware of different definitions of what it means to be "born again." Most people have been taught that being "born again" simply means taking on a new (Christian) life or accepting Jesus as our savior. This is something every Jehovah's Witness must do.

However, Witnesses are very careful to use Scriptural terms in their proper sense, so we recognize that the Scriptural meaning was different than most religions' definition. In Scripture the term "born again" is *only* applied to those who have been "adopted" as sons of God and heirs with Christ for a resurrection to the heavens. They are said to be "God's children" in a *special* sense because of this new and special "adoption" to a heavenly life (1Pt.1:3-4,18-19, 23; Rm.8:13- 17; Heb.12:23). These are "born again" because their future is life in the heavenly realm rather than God's original earthly purpose for humankind. This was a new arrangement for humans put in effect only after Christ came to earth. (Jn.1:9-13; Jas.1:17-18; 2Cor.5:17).

Those who have an earthly hope have no need for a "rebirth" to heavenly life. They are simply God's children in the same way Adam, Abraham and other pre-Christian humans were (Rm.8:19-22). They are dedicated to doing God's will *for them*-- which is to be faithful and fulfill God's original purpose for the earth (Gen.1:28; 2:15; Ps.37:29; Rev.21:3,4).

This is confirmed throughout the Bible. At Mt. 5:5 Christ adopted the words of Ps.37:10,11,29 to show that the future would be a peaceful earth as God originally decreed. At Mt 19:28 Jesus spoke of a "regeneration" (PALINGENESIA). It is God's stated purpose "to gather all things together again in the Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth" (Eph.1:10). God's word states that "all creation would be set free" from condemnation.

Also with God's "will being done on Earth as it is in heaven" (Mat.6:10), his stated purpose for righteous ones to live for "eternity on earth" (Ps.37:29; Mt.5:5) and God residing with MANKIND forever (Rev.21:3).

Similarly we have the contrast in Rom. 8:19-22 between the"son's of God" who are revealed and the "creation" who also are "children of God." Both groups will gain freedom from sin. (1Jn.3:2; 1Cor.15:48-49; Phil.3:20-21).

So the belief in two groups, one with a heavenly future and one with a future on paradise earth is clearly taught in many scriptures. Most religions just ignore the explicit statements by Jesus and the Scriptures which show that most humans will enjoy everlasting life on earth (Mt.5:5; 6:10; Ps.37,9,10,29; Isa.66:19-24; 24:1-6; Rev.21:3,4; cf. Jn.3:13; Acts 2:34).

At the same time we also know that things which are *specifically* addressed to, or stated about, those future heavenly kings can also refer in a *general* sense to those who will live on earth. John says in his letter that all those "born of God" must "love," must gain the "knowledge of God," "must not practice sin," and must "conquer the world" (1Jo 3:9; 4:7; 5:1,4; 5:18). Yet, all these things can be applied by extension to the "great crowd" since they have the same requirements for salvation and must "become one flock" (Jn.10:16).

While John was speaking of only Christians with the heavenly hope, today all Christians can say that they are "born of God" in a general sense. Those with the earthly hope just are not "born of God" in the same sense that the 144,000 are. By the same token those who are of the 144,000 are not "born of God" in exactly the same sense that Christ is (cf. 1Jn. 5:1; 5:18).

So we have strong Scriptural evidence of two groups of Christians both who gain salvation, one spoken of as a limited number who would be "born again" and brought into a covenant arrangement to be kings in heaven. The other clearly would be a great multitude of subjects who fulfill God's stated purpose to live eternally on the earth.

So, unlike other religious writers who do not completely understand the Bible, you will find that the Witnesses properly make a differentiation when the Scriptures are using terms like "born again" and "Kingdom of God in different references.
