ChocolateWine:
All churches are similar, but not all hold firmly to the way.

Maynman:


Catholic are the one that created the way.

ChocolateWine:


You mean Catholic, the Jesus?

Maynman:


Yes. Is “jesus” not a Jew? How is a Jew bearing a Greek name? Maybe the Roman Catholic has a thing to do with it

ChocolateWine:


Go and learn your English or your History, one of them would be helpful.

Maynman:



Yet it’s you that lacks the knowledge. If you had read history you won’t be worshipping Jesus. Listen to your own advice.

ChocolateWine:


So from what you just searched is Jesus a Greek name?

Maynman:


Religion blinds truly.
Where does the origin of the word “Jesus” comes from?
Why not call it in his Hebrew name?
why are you using a Greek name to refer to a Jew man?
And what’s the Hebrew name for joshua? Any difference?
Hope you do pray in joshua name too? Or the Greek didn’t put it like that?

ChocolateWine:


illiterate, is Jesus a Greek name or from a Greek form?

ChocolateWine:


illiterate, is Jesus a Greek name or from a Greek form (name)?

ChocolateWine:


illiterate, is Jesus a Greek name or from a Greek form (name)?

Maynman:


And you’ve even agreed that Jesus is from a Greek form. Is “Jesus” a Greek or a Jew? Why not use his “Hebrew form”? Is it because of Roman Catholic
And if you want to pray in Greek form adamantly why not also pray in “joshua” name? It means same thing. There’s more to this I presume

ChocolateWine:


Are you stupid? why are you ignoring the Aramaic, or hebrew version there. That place says that the original names of Jesus was from the names in Greek, Aramaic, hebrew etc.

Please don't mention me again....ka chineke ghara igba gi oku

Simple Similarities and Differences between Jehovah's Witnesses and Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Days Saints Church (LDS) in Nigeria

Informations obtained from their own website and literatures respectively ( no negative intention)

1. Both claim to be Christians but all mainstream christendom disagrees

2. Both are founded in USA and by Americans. Joseph Smith founded LDS in 1820, missionary to Nigeria started in late 1970's while Charles Russell started jW foundation in 1870, missionary to Nigeria started in early 1900s having the highest population in South south Nigeria (precisely Akwaibom and Rivers state)

3. Both religions are rumored to be very wealthy meanwhile LDS is the richest church in the whole world according to forbes ( LDS has one of the most transparent financial system open to the government authorities)

4. Both are non trinatarian. (They don't accept the Trinity doctrine)

5. Both believe other mainstream Christian dominations are wrong including themselves and condemned to God's wrath.

6.Both consider evangelism and missionary work essential to their belief. In LDS your missionary is sponsored by the church, you may be sent to a different country to serve at the expense of the church.

6. LDS encourages higher education and even owns universities (one of them is the best in the world) Brigham Young University in Utah( almost free) and many Nigerians has benefited from it on scholarship . JW believes the end of world is near since 1914, so why go to university and get corrupted? therefore higher learning is prohibited ( many members ignore this admonition anyway)

7. While Jehovah's witnesses build kingdom Halls ( a simple and not so furnished chapels) for there congregations, LDS builds international standard chapels for local congregations, most has a basket ball court.

8. Both faiths are sponsored by its members wilful monetary contributions and pledges.

9. Both frown at Ex or former members. Jehovah's Witnesses go the extra mile to shun/demonize them and cut ties with their family (quoting 2 corinthians)

10. Jehovah's witnesses are instructed not to participate in politics and milltary quoting "not part of the world" meanwhile LDS participate fully in politics and milltary.

11. Both believes no other denomination will accend heaven except their's. While Jehovah's witnesses believes only 144,000 will go to heaven, LDS believes all good people will go to heaven but only the saints (LDS members) will be in the CELESTIAL HEAVEN with Jehovah and non saints will be in the TERRESTRIAL HEAVEN (like a Catholic purgatory) waiting to be baptised in an LDS temple to join the saints in the celestial... They all have Bible passages to support these ideas.

12. Both believes the Bible to be authority but interpretation of their prophets / governing body is more authority.

13. Population of Nigerians that are witnesses are upto 600,000 and LDS is less than 150,000. Dominated by Southerners especially south south Nigeria ( Akwa ibom and rivers states )

14. Headquarters facility for witnesses is situated in Benin City, Edo State while for LDS is in Aba, Abia state.


15. Witnesses are discouraged to marry non witnesses (disobedience to this rule implies that your parents, relatives and friends who are witnesses won't attend any of your marriage rites, including registry). LDS are encouraged to marry themselves but there's no outlaw or punishment if you marry outside.

16. Both LDS and witnesses has their own Hymns . Many of these Hymns are masterpieces and beautiful like "give me courage" from jw, "a child's prayer" and "do you think to pray" from LDS songbook.
You can search "Terbanacle Square" on YouTube or spotify or ask witnesses arround you to share their songs with you.. You will be amazed
Meanwhile jws are not allowed to play other gospel songs apart from theirs in the kingdom hall or their comfort as it's viewed as interfaith but LDS can play whatever they like and also uses public hymns.

17. Witnesses drink alcohol. A good number but a few of them are notorious drunkards. LDS won't take alcohol or caffeine produce

18. LDS wear uniforms. Baptized Men must wear a white shirt as it signifies holiness and "Saint". Jws don't wear wear a uniform but they imitate dress codes of their leaders in America (no beards, tie and trouser, native is also allowed as long as it reaches the knee cap).

19. Their women can wear trouser but not to their church services. They can wear modest makeup too

20. Witnesses believe that the end of the world is imminent since their beginning in 1870, LDS don't, actually they do in a way "its kinda complicated".
LDS believe you rejoin God and the saints at death in the "celestial heavens". So everyone lives a good moral life pending his own end at death.

21. Both don't encourage LGBT. In JW they see it as a sin against God, catching you in the act will lead you to be "disfellowshipped" or getting shunned. In LDS you can identify as LGBT but there are stereotypes, you're seen as a sick person(natural impairment) who will have to kill own feelings towards same sex.

22. In both organisations women are not allowed to be elders, bishops or overseers. In jws women can mount the pulpit or pray over only when there's no single qualified man. In LDS women can give testimonies, talks, sermons conduct bible study rooms and other privileges but are not made elders.

23. Both allow men and women to be missionaries.

Courz:


Jehovah's witnesses in Nigeria are Not 600,000. They are a little above 300,000. You can find that info in their Yearbook.

Another similarity you missed is that founders of both religions were Freemasons. Most religions started by Men in the 1800s were started by freemasons.

Both religions also have their own separate Bibles (New World Translation and Book of Mormon) deliberately translated to suit their doctrines.

Also, if you see LDS members, you will mistake them to be Jehovah's witnesses. Their dressing and ways are similar.

MaobiCarl:



Population of witnesses in Nigeria is highest in africa and one of their top 5. 600,000 is an exergeration. Figures haven't been consistent recently due to Covid-19 but am sure recent yearbook has close to that figure considering how many circuits are in Nigeria..

Lol @ 12. Both believes the Bible to be authority but interpretation of their prophets / governing body is more authority. .. So true.. But MaxInDHouse Cornelboy and Janosky disagree with you..

Obviously the Catholics

Using the early church doctrines as standard, why don't you compare churches existing today to the early church and let's see which church is actually following the Bible and doing God's will?

Like the following below from their publications....

1.

All of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not."

2.

At times those appointed to take the lead may give direction that does not make sense to us. However, Jehovah blesses obedience

Even the place they gather for their religious activities.
