So then can you please explain what Jesus meant with His statement in Matthew 10:22? Because it's as if He's referring to a specific group.Moreover Jesus' followers did all they can to reach people with the good news, today we're printing out magazines to help those who don't have time to discuss but to read. Praise Jehovah! Before we were asked to demand for something to continue the printing but today! today!! today!!! Jesus has fulfilled His promises to US so that we're to give you FREE these printed publications,therefore your accusations that it's a business venture Jesus has nullified! Please let's teach you how to do the Lord's work with adequacy, it's not gonna cost you anything not even one naira!

Why will I explain what Jesus said only in verse 22 when you have turned a blind eye to all the verses before and after verse 22. You guys are really delusional.

Amongst 42 verses you singled out just one verse saying it refers to you. OK Jesus said his followers will heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out demons in this same chapter. You guys don't do any therefore you ain't Jesus followers. If one verse in a chapter doesn't apply to you then the other verses in that same chapter shouldn't apply to you as well.
Look is not everyone you can't deceive. Some people are not as gullible as the others

Bravo! So you people as many as you are are doing all that yet there still remains thousands of mad people,blind people,deaf,lame and so on everywhere! Your faith has covered the Earth yet no impact on people, there's wars everywhere, your members are killing one another due to difference in ethnic, political and nationality! Of course you're not gullible because you're performing lots of wonders that's NONE beneficial! Instead of focusing on the impact of Jesus' messages you're deceiving yourselves with magical acts and false stories of NO lasting benefits. Hmmmmmmmmm you're real Christians!

Stop trying to pull the accusation game. Jesus gave instructions to his followers. You claim to be Jesus followers yet you turn a blind eye to his words about healing the sick, raising dead and casting demons but choose to see only the persecution or hate place because you want to believe that you are the most hated.
Check this out.

Jesus told his followers they will heal the sick, raise the dead and cast out demons whereas, gb tells their followers all these are for only first century Christians and only the hatred/persecution part is for jws.

At the end of the day your governing body tells you what you should believe not Jesus or the Bible.
Carry on with your delusion of hate.

GB explained that there can't be miracles in this last days, why? (1) miracles are for the purpose of identifying those who will complete the Holy Scriptures that's divine info for salvation (New Testament) so after it's completion NO MORE MIRACLES! 1Corinth 13:8-13.(2) God has sent many prophets performing great signs but that hasn't yield any positive fruit within those who witnessed it all.John 6:66-68 (3) Satan has taken permission to perform miracles in disguise using Jesus name! So Jesus warned Saints not to be carried away.Matthew 7:21-23 (4) If Saints(Holy ones) will always be performing miracles what FAKE miracles from Satan's agents can confuse them? Whereas Jesus warned that they may be carried away, meaning they'll not be performing signs again at that time! (5) Where are magicians? If not that all of them have changed their identities to deceive people as Pastors.2Corinth 11:12-15 Please the truth can't be hidden it's either you're a Christian or a pagan looking for signs to follow!

Stop deceiving and been deceived! It's either you remain in the Faith or you're running from place to place for magic practicing priests! Faith is defined as the "assured expectations of what's hoped for the evident demonstration of realities not seen"Hebrews 11:1 if you're looking for miracles then you're not ready for real Faith because it's just "the evident demonstration of realities NOT SEEN"! Come to Jehovah's witnesses meetings and learn how to defend God's Holy writings(Bible) before pagans!

I can only be justified by the Word of God.
{Galatians 5:4} Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
Jw's are known by Works, and works are a product of the flesh and are never acceptable to God to earn your salvation.
Our problem as human beings is that we lack righteousness. "All our righteousnesses are as filthy rags" in God's eyes, {Isaiah 64:6} And yet, God requires righteousness in order for us to be saved.
Riofidelio:
You can only be justified when you're able to point out the offense of someone and analyze the negative impact of his deeds on the society but in the absence of that Paul said "against such(person or group of persons)there is no law" Galatians 5:23. No wonder Jesus said "wisdom is justified by her children" Luke 7:35
A simple answer for the above, is, by their fruit we will know them.
Do you realise your righteous is as filthy rags, the bible say's "God never accepted our human righteousness, but God became flesh, {John 1:14, 1 Timothy 3:16} when Jesus was born of the virgin Mary, {Galatians 4:4, Matthew 1:18, 23, 25} He went to the cross and suffered all of God's wrath against our sins.
His perfect sacrifice was accepted by God, {1 John 2:2} We know this because God raised Jesus from the dead, {Romans 8:11, Acts 17:31} God freely gives us His righteousness when we receive the gift of God which is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord, {Romans 4:5-6, 5:17, 6:23} This is the Bible doctrine of justification by faith.
Did you know the "fruit is a product of the indwelling Holy Spirit and is one evidence you are born again. If your life doesn't exhibit the fruit of the Spirit, you need to examine yourself, if you aren't preaching the Word of God-you aren't filled with the Holy Spirit at all..

You accuse JWs for turning the word of God and 99% of the Earth's population have heard that, but one thing your acclaimed knowledge and faith has failed to do is unifying those who claims the same thing as you do,whereas JWs are fast becoming a global family of peaceful, law-abiding, humble, self-sacrificing zealous evangelizers of God's word.

Jesus spoke publicly with reasoning and pointing out VISIBLE blunders of His opposers! If you're not able to do the same then all your Bible quotations are futile and pointless. You're quoting the scriptures out of text and even against your very self! Because without visible works done there's nothing to show for your Faith. James 2:17 Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and a host of others were justified by their works not of the laws (laws aren't there when they were proving what they believe)but you can fully grasp what they believe by what they're doing! Please your joyless Faith having no works Apostle James said is DEAD! DEAD!! Jehovah's witnesses don't believe in the mosaic laws but strictly on what Jesus taught, the quotation you're presenting was referring to Israelites practicing what's in laws and not ready to OBSERVE what Jesus commanded! Matthew 28:19/20 If you're not doing anything that people observing can see then nobody will quantify you the way they were divinely given that group name Christians in Antioch!
Re: What Is Your Reaction When Jehovah Witnesses Knock On Your Door? by brocab: 4:04pm On Apr 07, 2018
I have been to the meetings, the only secret society books that is ever produced are the Watchtower magazines. I had even produced the NWT Bible, but nothing happens after I managed to read a few verses they deny.
And the healing word is never mentioned-they take the Word of God out of context, {Acts 15:19-21, 28} is the Scripture Jehovah's Witnesses typically point to as the reason they refuse to accept blood donations.
{Acts 15:20} says, "Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood." It is clear from the context that the instructions were against eating / drinking blood, not blood transfusions.
The JW's have twisted the scriptures, not one of them have the strength to save their love ones-none of them realises, blood transfusions were not even possible in Bible times, so there is no possibility that this Scripture could be referring to blood transfusions.
There were many pagan religious practices that involved eating and drinking blood and/or strangling an animal to keep more of its blood in its meat. This is what the Bible speaks against, not blood transfusions.
Is it acceptable for a Christian to receive or give a blood transfusion?
Since the Bible does not explicitly say, a decision of this nature can only be made between a person and God. One consideration might be that God created billions of people over the centuries, but only four blood types, making it possible to transfuse blood from one person to another, regardless of race or nationality. These days technology had given people a chance to live-if you are a child of God, it's the gift that is in you-is giving.
Re: What Is Your Reaction When Jehovah Witnesses Knock On Your Door? by brocab: 4:18pm On Apr 07, 2018
I have been to different JW's Kingdom hall meetings, the only secret society books they produced are Watchtower magazines, nothing more. over the years I had produced their NWT Bible, nothing really happens but only the denial begins.
The Healing word is like a voodoo sign, and someone had taken the Word of God out of context, that they must all follow, {Acts 15:19-21, 28} is the Scripture Jehovah's Witnesses typically point to as the reason they refuse to accept blood donations.
{Acts 15:20} says, "It won't matter how many times we have shared the Word of God and explained the scripture's telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood." It is clear from the context that the instructions were against eating / drinking blood, not blood transfusions.
The JW's are like sheep following their shepherd, which isn't Jesus-the Watchtower have twisted the scriptures, not one have the strength to read the scriptures without having an elder at present-blood transfusions were not even possible in Bible times, but an elder are trained hypocrites murdering their own on everyday bases. There is no possibility that this Scripture could be referring to blood transfusions.

brocab! Christians have a huge responsibility to carry out, that's what Jehovah's witnesses are striving to do and they've taken their preaching to all the countries of the Earth. Matthew 24:14 Our brothers and sisters are zealously preaching and teaching come rain come sunshine about God's Kingdom, yet you're claiming you have Faith that's performing nothing of this. Everybody knows my people across the globe for our peace-loving, law-abiding, self-control and self-sacrificing Spirit. Yet you're talking about Faith. Please o what's working in the minds of Jehovah's witnesses all over the world if not Faith in what we're learning from Jesus of Nazareth(whos teachings are penned down in the Bible)?

While right now, I am witnessing the Word of God in the comforts of my home: to people, just like you.

It still doesn't change the fact that Jesus said his followers will heal the sick, raise the dead and cast out demons while your governing body told you not to believe that verse but have to believe that verse 22 refers to jws. I follow Jesus words in the Bible not the words of some 8 old men in new York saying Jesus was referring to the first century Christians alone.

You have no excuse. You have lost the argument. Singling out one verse from 42 verses in a chapter saying it refers to your group is criminal and deceitful. You turned a blind eye to 41 verses. You guys are pathetic liars.

Because governing body explained no miracles in the last days I should believe them right? Well Jesus said his followers will heal the sick, cast out demons, and raise the dead. Jesus never said in the last days his followers will not heal the sick, cast out demons or raise the dead. Why will your governing body be lying on Jesus head even twisting his words? Why the lies? Why the assumptions?
Your governing body even has to assume that there can't be miracles in the last days
They also have to assume that they didn't in the last days for over 140 years they have been assuming they've been in the last days.

Jesus I follow. Governing body I don't know.

I've explained the whole thing in a way that any honesthearted person can understand what's happening. GB is the committee that's controlling the activities of JWs worldwide for orderliness and proper arrangement. You can form your own religion and call it Jesus is this or whatever you like as long as you're not ready for orderliness JWs won't engage in any sacred services with you! God prohibited eating of blood right from Noah's time immediately HE permitted people to eat meat. Gen 9:4 God included this in the Mosaic laws Levit 17:11 and after Christianity has come to replace the Jewish religious system God's Holy Spirit directed the Apostles to continue abstaining from blood Act 15:29. Today there are so many illnesses that scientists can't explain it's sources, but one thing medical doctors will avoid is blood transfusion. No medical doctor will opt for it though they'll use you for their experiments and discoveries but NEVER will they allow you to transfuse someone's blood in their system. We don't know much but we trust God's word rather than scientific experiments!

We don't believe in miracles happening today but it's OK we're fine worldwide so if you believe in it well go on believing it as it's working for the purpose of your religion.

If you like o explain from here to there I don't care. What I know is this you are not a follower of Jesus Christ because Jesus said his followers will heal the sick, raise the dead and cast out demons but your governing body told you that Jesus followers can never perform miracles since 1879 because of assumptions they have made. You have shown me that you are governing body followers because you don't believe Jesus's words but you believe that of your governing body.

Well KNOWLEDGE has been defined as "the accumulation of useful informations" while WISDOM is "practical applications of accumulated information for lasting benefits" If truly there is wisdom in what you're calling Faith then observers will see the benefits during it's applications! If only Jesus was able to cure all the sickness of those brought to him and His first century followers couldn't continue solving all their problems miraculously yet you're claiming that His order to heal the sick is still in effect almost 2000 years later but as many as those who claims to be performing miracles are we still have millions of sickness plaguing mankind with no miraculous solutions then i as stupid as i could be can sense that something is wrong somewhere!

Jesus' followers were called Christians in Antioch, not because they were healing the sick and raising the dead but because they were preaching and teaching people about God's Kingdom which their founder said is the only solution to mankind's problems. He taught them to continue praying for God's Kingdom to come and to preach to the most distant part of the Earth, and what's going to be the result of their preaching and teaching program? Well the Bible foretold that all those who believe will become a global family of peace-loving people. Isaiah 2:2-4 ,Micah 4:1-3 If any religious group is doing this i don't need to invoke a spirit before i'm convinced that they're those whom God's Kingdom is coming to benefit as loyal and peaceful citizens! Psalms 37:9-11

If you like o explain from here to there I don't care. What I know is this you are not a follower of Jesus Christ because Jesus said his followers will heal the sick, raise the dead and cast out demons but your governing body told you that Jesus followers can never perform miracles since 1879 because of assumptions they have made. You have shown me that you are governing body followers because you don't believe Jesus's words but you believe that of your governing body.

It just shows you guys undermine Jesus simple.
Jesus' miracles is for two PURPOSES (1)To make observers know that He's God's representative because He's coming with a new covenant that differs from the former covenant they knew! Jeremiah 31:31-34 (2)To strengthen their Faith in the promises God made concerning everlasting life,abundance of food, no seakness, no crime and lasting peace and security! His followers are to perform miracles to help in completing and compiling the remaining divine information that's beneficial for salvation! 1Corinthians 13:8-13 Paul said a baby will do things as a baby but when it grows into adulthood the baby attitudes are no more, Christianity needed miraculous signs to help honesthearted Israelites in the first century to IDENTIFY the group having God's backing which is just one(Jesus' followers) out of so many religious groups back then in Israel. But as soon as Christianity has been firmly established they performed NO MORE miracles! That's why the religious groups claiming Christians throughout history are not known for signs and wonders because after the death of the Apostles miracles seized entirely so those religions met no miracles not until the early 20th century when Jesus foretold that Satan will empower false prophets to establish false religions.Well if you're willing to know that is the truth!

This comments are for those who are humbly searching for the true source of spiritual food in this end time. It's not for unwarranted arguments but to help whoever is willing to know the truth, so please don't be annoyed with me or my teachers we're taught to speak convincingly before any listener no matter how fierce looking or stubborn they may prove to be! God's word must be taught by humans not by spirits, but those teaching are guided by God's Holy Spirit and the benefits of their teachings will be seen by all observers looking at the group they're teaching! If it's Holy Spirit that's going to teach each person then there's no reason for anyone to be called pastors! Jesus Christ commanded some people to go out to preach and teach other people. Matthew 28:19/20 So the bone of contention now is IDENTIFYING the real Christians sent out by Jesus to do the work!

But I am 'claiming the gospel-to you?

So does this mean, only by works you are sharing Watchtowers literature, through rain hail, storms, floods and tornado's delivering Watchtower messages around the world? What is so special about that: and where does God sit" Jesus said, go out unto all the nations and preach the gospel..
While right now, I am witnessing the Word of God in the comforts of my home: to people, just like you.
{Isaiah 42:1-2} “Behold! My Servant whom I uphold, My Elect One in whom My soul delights! I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles. He will not cry out, nor raise His voice, Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street.
After bathing and clothing, you can't differentiate a competent man from a madman because both of them has knowledge which is simply "the accumulation of useful informations" each will speak a unique language,say things that we're familiar with and make comparisons of the things with their brains e.g both of them can identify a dog. But when it comes to WISDOM which is "practical applications of accumulated information for lasting benefits" that's when both will be made manifest! Because while the adequately competent and completely equipped man is applying his acquired info for lasting benefits the madman only keeps talking as in downloading the acquired info without any benefits!

Show me where the Bible said Jesus miracles will no longer be of any purpose in the 20st century. I guess no biblical passage. It's just an assumption made by your leaders.
With All your explanation you never gave biblical passages to support your claim.
At the end of the day the bible said Jesus said his followers will heal the sick, cast out demons and raise the dead while your governing body told you Jesus words are lies and don't apply to 21st century Christians.

They even have to make up stories and lie in the process for their non biblical explanation to be accepted.

Whenever you are asked to explain your beliefs that are not in the Bible you guys begin to rigmarole. Thank God there is the bible. You think you can use just one verse out of 42 verses in a chapter to lie to me?

Well since you said your governing body told you there are no miracles in the 21st century, then there should be no persecution of Jesus followers in this century simple. You can't leave out one and take the other because it suits your delusion of hate. You either take both or reject both. Religion of lies.

You believe you governing body belief is higher than Jesus words. So because governing body says miracles don't happen in this 21st century that means Jesus words saying his followers will heal the sick, cast out demons and raise the dead are all lies.

If you can follow or believe Jesus own words you are not his followers simple. You want to cover up assumptions made by your leaders used to peddle propaganda, delusions and false ideas. Some people cannot be deceived in this world.

You guys are governing body followers. You can never be Jesus followers.
You dare quote just one verse without Reading the other verses for me? I don't joke when it comes to people trying to sell false beliefs. We will settle this with the Bible only not with any magazine explanation.

Which true source of spiritual food? True source that says that Matthew 10:22 refers to jws while the same Matthew 10: 1-21 and Matthew 10: 23-42 refers to only 1st century Christians? You must be joking. Jesus Christ gave so many commands to his followers and you picked out the one where he said they will be hated because it suits your delusion of hatred.
True Spiritual food indeed.
You obey 8 old men in new York yet you don't read the Bible or obey Jesus words. Liar.

Where in the Bible did Jesus say the miracles to be performed by his followers where for two purposes?
Or its probably the deduction made by your leaders from verses not related to the topic.
Read the whole chapter of the books you quoted they do not have any relationship with miracles not happening in this present century or Matthew 10:22 referring to jws.

So pathetic to believe in assumptions made by some old illiterates in new York

The Bible belongs to God's people, HE used few of them to pen it down so to grasp the message you must go to them before you can understand what the Bible is saying no matter how you read it (Zechariah 8:23) you'll just notice that the practical applications won't work for your religion! It's pointless arguing with you if you don't know the overall message of the Bible which is God's Kingdom. Once you've missed the meaning of the word "God's Kingdom" then you can never comprehend what the Bible is all about.
Re: What Is Your Reaction When Jehovah Witnesses Knock On Your Door? by Nobody: 1:58pm On Apr 08, 2018
God's Kingdom means a government controlled by God the King of eternity,HIS son (the prince of peace) will rule as head of the government, the prince will serve as a counselor counseling those who wants to live as citizens under God's government. Isaiah 9:6 God will give the prince an order to go and destroy disobedient humans.Psalm 110:2 Daniel 2:44 Jesus taught people how God's government (Kingdom)will benefit faithful people, Those who disagree with the standard set by God's Chief Agent Jesus regarding the government will be destroyed. John 3:16 Jesus arranged that there should be a committee supervising the affairs of all those who agreed to comply with the standards He called them Apostles. Act 2:42 Today a committee is on Earth monitoring and supervising all the activities of those who are willing to comply with God's government. Matthew 24:45 Jesus promised to punish whoever refuses to support these ones Jesus called "His brothers". Matthew 25:31-40 If you don't know what a kingdom means then you can never understand the meaning of God's Kingdom! Matthew 24:14

You still could not show the passage where Jesus said the miracles where for two purposes and that its only the first century Christians he gave that power.

You don't know the overall message of the Bible. You will use just one verse amongst 42verses to justify your non biblical beliefs and when they ask you for verses to support your claim you begin to talk past point.

I am waiting for the passage. Except there is no passage stating such. If there isn't then you people are not Christ followers.

And BTW you can't change the fact that Jesus said his followers will heal the sick, cast out demons and raise the dead.

If you say that everyone hating a particular Christian sect signifies that they are the true followers of Christ then you also have to agree that performing miracles by that sect should identify them as Christ followers because Jesus said so himself. They go hand in hand read the whole Matthew 10 and see for yourself.
You want to justify the deductions based on assumptions made by your leaders.
You can't twist the Bible whenever it suits you. You can't change the bibles stance on certain things.

Show me Bible passage now you no gree instead you they tell me god used few people in order for you to understand the Bible.
You know this because The few men told you that you can only understand the Bible using them (few men).
I don't subscribe to living in bondage.

Before you quote any verse make sure you understand and read the whole chapter instead of coming here to threaten us.
Jesus said his followers will heal the sick, cast out demons and raise the dead while those old men ruling you in new York told you it is a lie. Who is the person disagreeing with the standard set by Jesus?

When you guys see you are loosing in an argument because you have no biblical backing you begin to resort to empty threats of how God will destroy people who don't agree and obey your governing body (8 old men in new York)

Until your pastors raise the dead then I'll believe the power to do miracles isn't a foregone thing. After all, the apostles did raise the dead.
