Friday, October 29

We distinguish the inspired statement of truth from the inspired statement of error.—1 John 4:6.

 

Satan, “the father of the lie,” has deceived people since the start of human history. (John 8:44) Some of his lies include false teachings about death and about life after death. Those teachings form the basis for many popular customs and superstitions. Why are so many humans deceived? Satan’s lies about death exploit the way we naturally feel about death. Because we were created to live forever, we do not want to die. (Eccl. 3:11) We consider death an enemy. (1 Cor. 15:26) Despite Satan’s efforts, the truth about death has not been kept hidden. In fact, more people than ever now know and proclaim what the Bible teaches about the condition of the dead and the hope for the dead. (Eccl. 9:5, 10; Acts 24:15) These truths comfort us, sparing us needless fear and uncertainty. w19.04 14 ¶1; 15 ¶5-6

 Jehovah is the God of truth and teaches us what is truth and how to learn what is truthful. We live in a culture where truth is subjective and it doesn't matter what is truly right and wrong anymore. Jehovah elevates us above this debased crooked thinking and frees us from this corrupt way of thinking.

[Elnathan]

Malicious lies have been spread across the globe; that says, human have an immortal soul. With this belief people does things to please the dead fearing that they will get harm, if the ancestors are angry. In my Continent - Africa, people’s lives revolve around the fear of the ancestors/ dead. As they slaughter cows, goats, chickens, etc to appease the dead.
What a privilege we have, to know the truth about the condition of the dead & the prosperous future that awaits them. Indeed the “truth about the condition of the dead comfort us & spare us needless fear & uncertainty.”

July 15/86 So “this is how we take note of the inspired expression of truth and the inspired expression of error.” We speak the “pure language” of Scriptural truth provided through God’s organization. (Zephaniah 3:9) And from what we say, it is evident to sheeplike ones that we are led by God’s holy spirit.

I hate Halloween, I think it is the most God dishonoring holiday there is. It is the same lie that Satan told Eve, that God won't punish disobedience with death..
