The Watchman

[Jason76]

The verses pertaining to this seem to be about the rapture to me. However, this seems to say if a person isn't absolutely holy, they simply aren't going. Well, that seems fair enough! Nonetheless, it's scary cause who could be 100 percent holy like a monk?

In our baptisms we are covered in Jesus' righteousness...clothed in Him. None of us can live the perfect obedient life the law requires and so we do not have a holiness of our own, but that of Jesus.

Yeah but the problem is we cannot be a medium for Christ's righteousness all the time. That's why there's that threat of missing the rapture or burning in hell.

Only those who reject the forgiveness of the cross won by Jesus will burn in hell.

why is the thread titled "The Watchman" is that the material your reading from the Jehovah Witnesses?
We are justified by faith in Christ through faith in Christ and not because of good works. Romans 5:1, 8:1. That's the whole point of the cross and resurrection.
