<h1>Quotes in Favor of JWO</h1>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: large;"><strong><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;">Revelation 19:10</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 12pt;">Apostle John speaking in Revelation 19:10 -- in various versions - endorses JWO:</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 12pt;">Worship God, For the <em><strong>substance (essence) of the truth revealed by Jesus </strong></em>is the spirit of all prophecy. (Rev. 19:10)(Amplified Bible)</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 12pt;">Worship God, For the <em><strong>essence of prophecy</strong></em> is to give a clear witness of the<strong><em> message confirmed by Jesus.</em></strong> (Rev. 19:10)(NLT with alternative text in footnote)</span></p>
<hr />
<p><strong><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: large; color: #0000ff;">John 12:48</span></strong></p>
<p style="margin-left: 30px;"><br /><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 12pt;">"He who rejects me and&nbsp;does not receive my sayings has a judge; the word that I have spoken&nbsp;<em>will be his judge</em> on the last day." (John 12:48.)</span></p>

<p style="margin-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">"But I shall not be unwilling to put down, along with my interpretations,&nbsp;whatsoever instructions I received with care at any time from the elders, and stored up with care in my memory, assuring you at the same time of their truth. For I did not, like the multitude, take pleasure in those who spoke&nbsp;much, but in those who taught the truth; nor [did I take pleasure] in those who related <em><strong>commandments&nbsp;belonging to others</strong></em> [Roberts trans.] / "who <strong>recall someone else's commandments'" </strong>[Lightfoot trans.]&nbsp;but [I took pleasure] in those who<strong><em> rehearsed / remembered the&nbsp;<span class="gstxt_hlt">commandments given </span>by the </em></strong><span class="gstxt_hlt"><strong><em>Lord</em></strong> </span>to the faith,&nbsp;and proceeding from truth itself. If, then, any one who had attended on the elders came, I asked minutely after their sayings,—what Andrew or Peter said, or what was said by Philip, or by Thomas, or by James, or by John, or by Matthew, or by any other of the Lord's disciples: which things&nbsp;Aristion and the presbyter John, the disciples of the&nbsp;<span class="gstxt_hlt">Lord, </span>say. For I imagined that what was to be got from books was not so profitable to me as what came from the&nbsp;<span class="gstxt_hlt">living </span>and abiding&nbsp;<span class="gstxt_hlt">voice. (Papias ca. 130 AD quoted in Eusebius, 3.39.3-4 excerpted in Roberts, Donaldson &amp; Crombie, "Fragments of Papias," <em>The Writings of the Apostolic Fathers</em> (T&amp;T Clark, 1867) at <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=TcEUAAAAQAAJ&amp;dq=living%20and%20surviving%20voice%20commandments%20given%20by%20%20the%20Lord&amp;pg=PA441#v=onepage&amp;q&amp;f=false">441</a>-42. <em>Cf.</em> translation of J.B.

<p><span style="font-size: large; color: #0000ff;"><strong><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;">Prof. Bauman, 1985</span></strong></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">"Supernaturalistic explanations for why Jesus died and how his death saves us, however, largely evade the historical implications of messiahship and discipleship along the via dolorosas of life. ...The emphasis has been not on the didache Of Jesus but on the kerygma About Christ.<strong><em> Jesus’ teaching of the Way of the Cross has been replaced by Paul’s proclamation of the Word of the Cross </em></strong>with the effect that the offense of the Cross has been transferred from the existential to the epistemological plane so that <strong><em>the authoritative command to Follow Jesus has become an intellectual problem of Believing in Christ</em></strong>. That following Jesus is presumptuous and unnecessary is implicit in the logic of most atonement theories. " (Prof. Bauman, <em>The Sermon on the Mount, The Modern Quest for its Meaning </em>(1985)&nbsp;at 421.)</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">Mike Weaver, its author, explained the purpose of the song: "The lyric comes from a place of desperation in the Lord, and it ends with the realization that<em><strong> only Jesus satisfies.</strong></em> Some people treat salvation<strong><em> as if it is little more than fire insurance</em></strong>. This song declares that it is also about having <strong><em>abundant life and [about a] satisfaction in this life that only Jesus can bring</em></strong>."

<p style="margin-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">Some will say the Old Testament scriptures are no longer valid or important to Christians so they focus on the New Testament only. And then, for<em><strong> many, the focus is on the writings of Paul, viewing the Words of Jesus as almost leftover Old Testament "Jewish" material</strong></em>. Again, we believe such views are <em><strong>out of balance and dangerous</strong></em>. We believe the focus of one's reading and scripture study time should center around the Words of Jesus. Other scriptures can then be properly studied through the lens of what Jesus taught.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: large; color: #0000ff;"><strong><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;">Anthony Buzzard,&nbsp;<em>The Doctrine of the Trinity</em> (1998)</span></strong></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; color: #494a44; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 12pt;">[Page 340] Current opinion often tells us that "doctrine" divides and should be avoided. The very opposite is true: doctrine based <strong>on the witness of Jesus words is the one hope for unity in the present chaotic division in the churches</strong>. The Church appears to have overlooked the core of Jesus' teaching: that repentance and forgiveness depend on the convert's intelligent reception of the Messiah's own gospel about the kingdom of God<strong></strong><em><strong>.</strong></em>&nbsp;(Mark 4: &nbsp;11-12; Luke 8:12).</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; color: #494a44; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 12pt;">[Page 341] The object of this book, therefore, has been to propose ways of believing more accurately what Jesus believed about God and himself and thus bringing our own doctrine into line with his. "The one who abides in the teaching [of Christ] has both the Father and the Son." (2 John 9.)&nbsp;<em><strong>&nbsp;Every word spoken by the Messiah is precious, for the words that he speaks carry "spirit and life."</strong></em>&nbsp;(John 6:63.) They are&nbsp;<em><strong>the only words, in fact, which can guide us to "life in the coming Age," the life of the kingdom of God.</strong></em></span></p>
