Being a Christian doesn't mean associate with me or agree with my thinking. Go back to read your Bible on who is a Christian.



Wrong! You get born again first, then with the help of The Holy Spirit you can discern the spirit of truth from the spirit of lies.



I didn't oppose you for fellowship with whosoever you think is a believer, my reason of quoting you is the wrong interpretation you gave to John 16:33

By trying to replace Jesus Christ with Kingdom Hall
What about if i say 'i'm already a born again Christian'? wink
So what the spirit tells me about being a Christian is in my mind and according to your analogy it's not compulsory it must be the same with yours. grin
I believe in the interpretation of the spirit in me just as you too are convinced of the spirit in you. grin
And this doesn't mean you should start calling JWs to come and verify what i say since you said it shouldn't be a group thing! cheesy

brocab: To be honest bro, if the elders knew Janosky was behaving with hatred as he does, they would throw him out of kingdom hall.
What do the JW's do, after they can't get their message through-they black list us and move on..
Janosky/oneJ belong to a cult-the differences between a cult and Christ, Is, cult's will never find their true happiness outside their domain-while in Christ we will always find our happiness everywhere--outside or inside our domain!

johnw47:

so true

1Pe_4:14  If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.


false jw's speak evil of the Lord and saviour of the whole world Jesus Christ
calling Him: "a god", and they add to their evil by changing God's word (adding to and taking away from it)

they hate the true Jesus

we christians of course glorify Jesus, rightly acknowledging Him as being "God"

Joh 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 





Maximus69: That's the direct opposite of what Jesus said!
At John 16:33 Jesus said 'in the world you will have tribulation' definitely Christians can never find happiness in the midst of unbelievers but within fellow believers there is comfort! Hebrew 10:24,25 Romans 15:4
Certainly if you're truly a Christian you can't find bliss in the midst of those under Satan's control! 2Corinthians 4:3,4: 1John 2:15-17,5:19
So if you find happiness everywhere you go,that means you're also part of the world because they will be fond of you as their own! John 15:19,17:14-16
Sir there is great blunder in your reasoning! wink




poor unhappy miserable tormented lying pharisee false jw max
that comes from you having the wrong god:

Joh 8:44  Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

My friend, Paul wasn't persuading anybody there. He was making a defence of what he believe just as i'm doing and you keep saying my words can convince people. Agrippa is saying exactly what you're saying now,it was his attachment to false religion that's holding him back! wink

i will explain to you again because you false jw's are blinded:

i wouldn't try to persuade false jw's like paul tried with agrippa
but i would say to you like Jesus said:
Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell

2Co_4:4  In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

God is not the author of confusion as the spirit is one.

The content of John 6:33 which you've deviated from is that, Jesus Christ said "IN HIM..." not in the congregation.

A born again Christian will never replace Christ with anything or say what scripture didn't say.

Re: "How Can One Witness To A Jehovah's Witness?" by brocab: 12:43pm On Apr 20, 2019
Of over 2 billion Christians in the world, less than 30% will ever read through the entire Bible. The fact is over 82% of Christian only read their Bibles on Saturday-Sundays while in church.
A little over 20 years ago, Gallup released the results of a major study indicating that 86% claimed to be Christian, although only 70% of these admitted to being “born again” according to biblical measure.
In recent studies, the Pew research indicates that only 25% now attend church any given Saturday-Sunday, significantly down from 47% in 1990.
The study also shows that, in evangelical churches throughout the world, statistics show 36% of those who attend church weekly indicate that believing in Jesus Christ is the only true way to Heaven.
While a shocking 57% of Christians believe other religions can lead to eternal life..
One of the main reasons why Christians don’t read their bibles is, only 22% of them believe the Bible is fully inspired by God Himself, and written by men who were divinely appointed by the Lord almighty.
And over 1 in 4 so called Christians believe the bible to be a book written by mere men, not at all the word of God.
If we were to survey Christians at churches around the world, most people would agree that they need to read their Bibles. They understand that it is both required and good for them.
But the sad truth is, many do not. This lands us in that strange place of knowing, but yet still avoiding, what is good and beneficial for us.
Most people when asked about their Bible reading say: I have been really busy-plus I can't be bothered, This may be the truth; However, it is not the reason.
I think we can distinguish between realities and reasons. Those same people who are really busy do have the time to eat food and sleep, or hang out at Kingdom hall.
And yet I know people who have their entire day {and evening} mapped out for them. They are extremely busy; yet they still read and study their Bibles.
In order to do anything of value consistently it takes discipline, However, if we sit back and do not live with intentionality we will not be regularly in the Word of God.
Do you think an Olympic athlete hits snooze on their alarm when training? Never! Do they not get tired? Of course they do. But there is a critical point when discipline defeats the desire of the moment.
It is when the mind speaks to the heart and says, “Hey, I’m in charge. It is time to get up even if I don’t feel like it.” Discipline takes effort. We don’t recline into discipline we must work at it. Is there anything more important than godliness to discipline ourselves for?
Paul tells Timothy to discipline himself for the purpose of godliness {1 Timothy 4:7-8}

lying pharisee false jw max

christians glory even in tribulations, and we are of course happy with God dwelling in us:

Rom 5:3  And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also



Rom_8:9  But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.





you false jw's glory in lying habitually, and are made miserable by your gods spirit in you:

Joh_8:44  Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

your miserableness shows in your writings, and deservedly so smiley

Well, it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not.
As a born again child of God,i drank tea with the holy spirit in my bedroom this morning and HE told me to stick to the interpretation of JWs! cheesy

Then it means you're not a born again Christian because Holy Spirit can never instruct anyone to replace Christ with anything, as He shall not speak of His own!

Lastly, John 16:33 is all about Christ and not congregation.

Well that's your own understanding Sir and it's like i accept it as reasonable. But can you please explain why there are countless religious groups having contradicting doctrines and conflicting teachings yet all of them are claiming born again, and to worsen matters they're all claiming it is God's holy spirit that is telling them to go contrary to one another! embarassed
So between Deeperlife, RCCG, MFM, Jehovah's Witnesses, Catholic, Anglican, Chosen, TREM, C&S, CCC, Sabbath, Olumba, Christ Embassy, Winners Chapel, Synagogue, Latter Rain, KICC and the rest. Which one is operating under the influence of God's holy spirit?
Because going by your logic there shouldn't be CONTRADICTIONS within the congregation of Christ! undecided

Most of the churches you mentioned are one man church, so don't have doctrine. If you mantion doctrine, division will start, so no need to mention and they will never do so.

Church like anglican that have one have broken into pieces because of it, yet they did not disagree with catholic doctrine before quiting.


The only one man church that have doctrine that I know is JW. It failed and he have to go back to the drawing board to invent another doctrine that contradict his previous doctrine. Discarding some if the previous doctrine.

And you can easily see the spirit that contradict himself. The likes of Adeboye or Oyedepo can hardly make that mistake because they know the implication
