@bold-but it isn't a threat to tell someone that Jehovah will soon destroy over 6 Billions people in Armageddon?

freshcvvs:


So If God wasn't going to "destroy" the earth, you wouldn't have been a christian?

People should repent because hell is real or because God's worth worshiping willingly?

solite3:

Mark 9:45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:

why did Jesus preached about hell fire?
If you can answer me I will give you ans

DoctorAlien:


Who said he or she became a Christian for fear of hell?

Do you know that GOD will hold you responsible if you refuse to tell people about hell and they end up in hell?

"Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me. When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand." Ezek. 3:17-18.

The Bible says "And the times of ignorance GOD winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent..." Acts 17:30

Why?

"Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness..." verse 31.

WARN THE SINNER!

You will be addressed as one lacking courtesy in manner of speech.

You of all people should discern that if you require answers, at least be polite.

JMAN05:


The verses didn't support ur allegation of a heresy.

freshcvvs:


The hell fire is not real fire this man or would you say the plucking of eyes he said too is the real eye-removing?

Emusan:


And where did you read it from my post that people should become Christian because God will destroy the earth



Repentance doesn't amount to worshipping God willingly but to save everyone from that day God has chosen to judge the world in RIGHTEOUSNESS by the man Jesus Christ.

solite3:
so Jesus was preaching what is not real?

truthislight:


The sins of Adam have been forgiven to all sons of Adam by means of Christ Ransom sacrifice. Hence, the sin of all sons of Adam have been forgiven. All sons of Adam stands clean be for Yahweh. All sons of Adam have access to Yahweh through Jesus christ.

But the prospect of having Eternal life is open to only those that make use of this oppurtunity to make a good name with Yahweh through Jesus Christ.

Hence, the sins of all those that will be save at Armageddon were forgiven when they were alive and accepted Jesus and followed his examples. They got Baptized, they continued exercising faith in Jesus Ransom sacrifice.

Not accepting the son means DEATH.

Peace

Emusan:


You're even complicating the issue the more.

JWs always quote Rom 6:23a "For the wages of sin is death;..." which means once a person died the person had paid for his/her sins.

Please, which sins these people paid for again if Jehovah had already forgiven the sons of Adam's sin

Unless if you don't want to tell me that your organization don't use this particular verse to proof forgiveness of people's sins.

And it also means nobody living on earth before/after Jesus' death sins against Jehovah anymore...that's wonderful!!!

true2god:
You are not addressing the issue at hand but instead you are talking about someone being rude to you as if you are a boss to anyone here. Please address the issues being raised against the JW fallacies and stop deflecting.

JMAN05:


I don't agree, even the apostles had wrong expectation. Act 1:6. Christians in Thessalonians had wrong expectation too. 2thes 2:1-2.

JMAN05:

Parables, Symbolism, Irony. most of what he preached on were not to be taken literally.

What i know is that serving God out of fear is compulsion, meaning you wouldn't have served or repented if "hell threat" wasn't included.

Anas09:

Pls quote your scriptures out. Lets see wat they say if there are within context.

JMAN05:


How will quoting it out show whether it is within context or not? Read it and tell me what you understand to the contrary.

kevoh:

Your post reeks of hypocrisy, self-righteousness and promotion of hatred. Very typical of christians of the pentecostal stock! Your so-called pastor is not one of worthy emulation either. He should be promoting peace and not teaching people to utter hate comments. No one is better or worse than anyone.
From my experience, I'm ready to transact businesses with JWs without much fear of being scammed than transact with someone who calls himself ''Pastor''. Once you mention ''Pastor'', I stay more alert!

JMAN05:


I don't read his post. So I don't know his claim. Am barred from discussing with an apostate. 1cor 5:11.

DoctorAlien:
JMAN05,

You Jehovah Witnesses say Proverbs 8:22-30 is talking about Jesus Christ.

1 Cor. 1:30 says "But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of GOD is made unto us wisdom..." The Bible makes it clear that to us, Jesus Christ is the wisdom of GOD.

Now my question: was Wisdom created?

Please don't quote your JW NWT bible for me. Quote the Authorized version or any other popular version.

Jozzy4:


This liar again , @ bold Show me where Russell claimed to be the leader of Jehovah's Witnesses ?

Jozzy4:


when you think you are wise , you become a fool !

from the link

" Among that group of sincere Bible students was a man named Charles Taze Russell. While Russell took the lead in the Bible education work at that time and was the first editor of The Watchtower , he [Russell] was not the founder of a new religion. The goal of Russell and the other Bible Students, as the group was then known, was to promote the teachings of Jesus Christ and to follow the practices of the first-century Christian congregation. Since Jesus is the Founder of Christianity, we view him as the founder of our organization.— Colossians 1:18-20 "
* bracket mine

didn't you see the bold ?

truthislight:


The word Eternal and everlasting is Futuristic and not necessarily concern with the past.

For instance, God said he will give humans Eternal live/Ever-lasting life, does that in any way suggest that the people that will be given this Eternal life had always existed?

If No, why are you concluding that calling Jesus Eternal/everlasting father implies that he had always existed?

Again, have you ever wondered what Adam would have been had he not sinned against Yahweh? Well, he would still have remained as our father to this day and for ever. What then would we have been calling him? Answer = He would have remain as our Eternal father.

But, as it is, Jesus bought over what Adam lost, hence, took over his place of being our father. So, Jesus became our Eternal Father.

If you look closely, you would notice that though Adam would have remained our Eternal father, that does not mean that Adam had always existed either.

So, Jesus being called Eternal/Everlasting Father, does not mean that Jesus had always existed.

Please, do not confused Eternity with eternal.

Have you ever seen were humans are being promised ETERNITY in the bible?

It is only Yahweh that is called King of Eternity

Peace.

JMAN05:
There seem to be many questions on this board regarding the bible, God, lifestyle, science etc, answers have also been offered. However, you might get a reasonable answer to your questions if you try and see how Jehovah's Witnesses proffer solution to those questions.

Of course, reading from our websites, can assist you with an authoritative answer from the field of JWs. (ie, www.jw.org; tv.jw.org; wol.jw.org). Jehovah's witnesses also have an application which can help someone read different versions of the bible like KJV, Bryington, ASV etc. You can also download our journals in ur own language inside this app and watch some videos. Go to play store and search for JWLibrary app.

The witnesses in ur vicinity can also assist in answering your questions. You can also send me an email for a quiet discussion devoid of distractions common in Nairaland.

But you can post ur questions here too, let's see how we can handle it, but please be civil and open minded. I won't respond to apostates or apostate sites or those I view to be unserious. I might end it if one is insincere.

I do not have answers to every question. Others like Biblespeaks, dolphinheart, truthislight can contribute also.
