   When you take communion unworthily V30 applies to you. Because the only ones   
   who are to take it are the ones that God considers worthy, you should read   
   all the surrounding text and not just cherry pick verses out of context in   
   order to reshape the Gospel Messsage.

   No, it is not.   
      
   (Greek NT TR)δια τουτο εν υμιν πολλοι ασθενεις   
   και αρρωστοι και κοιμωνται ικανοι   
      
   There is the Greek text, no brackets.

   Now you have clearly jumped ship. You went from the Physical to the Mixture   
   of Physical and Spiritual without consideration to whether or not it was   
   spiritual evil or spiritual godliness. Plus when it comes to the JW, they   
   believe only 144K of them will be spiritually God worthy. And according to   
   you all those slots have been filled.

   He was speaking of putting trust in the Lord, Praises unto him. From the Soul   
   of man, not the physical part that dies. “While I live will I praise the   
   LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.” (Psa 146:2)

   None of them were JW’s. They were all Jews.   
      
   Rev 7:2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of   
   the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it   
   was given to hurt the earth and the sea,   
      
   Rev 7:3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we   
   have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.   
      
   Rev 7:4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed:and there were   
   sealed an hundred and fortyand four thousand of all the tribes of the   
   children of Israel.   
      
   Rev 7:5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of   
   Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve   
   thousand.   
      
   Rev 7:6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of   
   Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed   
   twelve thousand.   
      
   Rev 7:7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of   
   Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve   
   thousand.   
      
   Rev 7:8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of   
   Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed   
   twelve thousand.   
      
   And all of this occurred only after the seven years of the Great Tribulation   
   that Jesus Spoke of.   
      
   > The bulk of humanity experience the resurrection of Acts 24:15   
   > right on this good earth. Jesus referred to them as MEEK ones.   
      
   Act 24:15 And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that   
   there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.   
      
   Judgment Before the Great White Throne   
      
   Rev 20:11And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose   
   face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for   
   them.   
      
   Rev 20:12And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books   
   were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the   
   dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books,   
   according to their works.   
      
   Rev 20:13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell   
   delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man   
   according to their works.   
      
   Rev 20:14And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the   
   second death.   
      
   Rev 20:15And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast   
   into the lake of fire.   
      
   This is that which was spoken of before, regarding the resurrection of the   
   dead at the end of time.   
      
   Mat 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.   
      
   >   
   > -- King James   
   > Matthew 5:5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.   
      
   2Pe 3:9The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count   
   slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should   
   perish, but that all should come to repentance.   
      
   2Pe 3:10But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the   
   which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall   
   melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall   
   be burned up.   
      
   2Pe 3:11Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of   
   persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,   
      
   SO obviously you missed something in regards to any meek inheriting the   
   earth.   
      
   The beatitudes was given to the Believers, NOT the general population.   
      
   >   
   > They shall inherit what? Heaven-no, hellfire-no, Purgatory-no, but THE   
   > EARTH. Jesus said it, so it has to be.   
      
   Which earth? God has established that there will be a New Earth, and upon it   
   will be no sin, and only those who are redeemed will dwell there in the New   
   Jerusalem.
