   The JW’s are convinced that only 144K of them are spiritual, If so then   
   those slots were filled up centuries ago, so there is no hope for you or your   
   family.   
      
   Likewise, in other religions many have been ripped off from the Gift of the   
   Holy Spirit/God. And all of his attributes and Gifts. After all, God Changes   
   NOT! What he was willing to do, and promised to do a couple of thousand years   
   ago, is still as fresh today as it was then. There has been absolutely no   
   cessation of any gifts of God, for they do not wear out, and until the end of   
   this age we still need all of them. For ourselves and our daily lives, as   
   well as to use in support of those that are brethren in Christ Jesus.   
      
   Paul the Apostles said by the spirit of God, 1Co 13:9 For we know in part and   
   we prophesy in part. 1Co 13:10 But when that which is perfect has come, then   
   that which is in part will be done away.   
      
   Y’all still only know in part, and see in part, even with the increase of   
   knowledge we’re still dummies when we are in these bodies. Which is why we   
   are ever learning. Jesus is the perfect one. He left this earth long ago, and   
   he needed to do so that we all might have the Comforter residing in us, not   
   just alongs side us, as Jesus did when he was here. In us, we have become a   
   new creature, old things are passed away and everything becomes new.   
      
   Jesus told us what is to come after he left, and left no stone unturned, so   
   that we can become like Him, After all, he was born in a body just like we   
   were. A body subject to the same temptations, the same cravings, the same   
   needs as we. He not only bought all our sins and forgave us, but he sent the   
   Holy Spirit of God to us, for us, as born again believers, to that we too   
   might have the power needed to be over comers, just like Him. And Just like   
   him to support our brethren in the Body of Christ.   
      
   Take a look at why Jesus left, and what we were gifted with, and do not   
   quench the Spirit of God that dwells within you once you have been Born Again   
   and baptized into the Body of Christ as foretold by John the Baptist.   
      
   Jhn 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go   
   away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I   
   depart, I will send Him to you.   
      
   Jhn 16:8 And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of   
   righteousness, and of judgment: Note here; conviction is not yours to do.   
      
   Jhn 16:9 of sin, because they do not believe in Me;   
      
   Jhn 16:10 of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more;   
      
   Jhn 16:11 of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.   
      
   Note here, “of Judgement”, yes friends, Hell fire, and damnation after   
   physical death, then Judgment, then the Lake of Fire and Brimstone   
   everlasting. Created for the Devil and his followers. If the ruler of this   
   world is judged so will we who have not been Born Again. Only Satan would try   
   and sneak this by you, to trap you into his kingdom and he cares less about   
   you, he just wants you on his side so as to keep you, a person prized by God   
   the Heavenly Father, away from him out of jealousy and hatred of God. It is   
   he that is the father of lies, false pride and false ecstasy. He makes that   
   addictive solely to distract you from the real Joy from God that is   
   everlasting. In hell or the lake of Fire it will all be dust and shame.   
      
   Jhn 16:12 "I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them   
   now.   
      
   Jhn 16:13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you   
   into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He   
   hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.   
      
   Not here as well, prophesy, things to come in every manner, things in this   
   life, things of the future, the knowledge of Him in ever increasing ways.   
   Without the limitations inherent in the minds of men. AI has no access to any   
   of this.   
      
   Jhn 16:14 He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it   
   to you.   
      
   Note; for your benefit, enjoyment, and to share it with the brethren.   
      
   Jhn 16:15 All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He   
   will take of Mine and declare it to you.   
      
   Yes, something, another thing that the minds of men, or AI cannot do. These   
   things are all the attributes of the Heavenly Father being made known to men   
   for the benefit of all as well as what is to come. Both on the local level as   
   well as the broad.   
      
   So why not chose to believe, truly to believe in an upon Jesus Christ as God,   
   and be filled with the Holy Spirit so as to walk in the Spirit that you might   
   not sin.   
      
   Jhn 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that   
   whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.   
      
   Jhn 3:17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world,   
   but that the world through Him might be saved.   
      
   Jhn 3:18 "He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not   
   believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the   
   only begotten Son of God.   
      
   Jhn 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the   
   world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were   
   evil.   
      
   Jhn 3:20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to   
   the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.   
      
   Jhn 3:21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be   
   clearly seen, that they have been done in God."
