JW questioning their religion and is reading the Bible
JW
I was a Jehovahs Witness. I've recently started rekindling my relationship with God and I am really enjoying reading scriptures, watching sermons and praying regularly.
Recently God has really shown himself in the biggest way! There are some teachings that JW teach that I didn't quite understand, and there's some teachings that Christian churches explain that I'm also trying to learn from.
The main ones about the kingdom of God being in heaven, and also everything about the resurrection. Can you recommend some guiding?
A:
Glad God has been moving you and revealing these truths to you, and that you are being a Berean🙂.
Here are some helps as you unwind the false teachings and errors of JW religion.
The Kingdom of God is explained here
The redeemed who pass from this life will be in Heaven until Christ returns with the saints in the Millennial Kingdom reign. When Judgment Day arrives that is when the sin free New Heaven and New Earth are brought into existence and the redeemed will live in the new Earth. I would need to look again to see if we are able to go between Heaven and Earth [quantum leap] but we probably are not excluded from it since we will be perfected and in sin free bodies (and all will be in right relation to God at that point). I just am not sure if the new Heaven will only be for God and the angels [the angels will likely still be ministering and serving God there as now and that includes them among us here as well -though visually to us then].
You can go through this series on Heaven and look further into that.
Also it is important to understand the Gospel according to Scripture.
If you read the Bible [specifically the NT] and understand who the real God and Jesus are, (grasping the essentials), then you are able to "believe in Him". Which means you can obey the Gospel; in that the Gospel command is to "repent and trust in Jesus".
Jesus said in Mark 1:15 to "Repent and believe the Gospel."
God bless.
