tommy589:JWs don't tithe? |
Re: The Olodo Guide To Paying Tithe 2021 by tommy589(m): 8:23am On Jun 07, 2021 |
HappyPagan: Nope |
Re: The Olodo Guide To Paying Tithe 2021 by Dtruthspeaker: 8:41am On Jun 07, 2021 |
HappyPagan: That is what it means to have been a creation, you are bound and obligated to take Orders from your Creator, Exactly as your phone and car must obey you, if they do not want to suffer in your hands. HappyPagan: God has never been against Reasonable Questions and Challenging and He Answered All of them eg Moses at the burning bush, Jonah and the Tree, Samuel in choosing a King, Christ vs. Nicodemus, Christ vs the Pharisees and Scribes etc. God was Never Against Any Reasonable Questions or Query but any query born out of wrong or wickedness or evil is Unacceptable, even men do not accept such wicked and evil challenge. They are Stupid and Foolish and Unacceptable. |

tommy589: Ok. But please, please I beg you for your soul sake, guard yourself. Like Satan, they use The Truth to kill, exactly as he did to Eve. And they kill by selling to you what you may have thought or not have thought of, which is primarily the desire to not be accountable for your deeds, which is Against God's Law which clearly stated. "God shall not be Mocked, God shall bring every work into judgement, with every secret thing, whether it be good or whether it be evil." They do say "Do Righteousness" but do they do it? (Judge for yourself). They do say with their mouths that Repentance is important but do they know they great value and consequence of it? (Judge for yourself, even many claiming Christians really do not know the magnitude and ramification of it) |

tommy589: It's so fine that you're studying with Jehovah's Witnesses. Note, They will not force you to accept their beliefs. They will not teach you man-made doctrines or anything contrary to what it is in the Bible. They'll only provide you with information in the Bible so that an individual can make an informed decisions. Ask them a lot of questions, they'll provide you answers with Bible. I'm sure, they'll enjoy your company too My brothers may not be the best cooks, but they have the correct recipes 1 Like |

haddeylium:Not enemies at all. And in terms of good works, JWs really do good works. Because the christian community is a universal one, there's always bound to be tension and differences in understanding within the community. These differences, though important and legitimate often times do not cause for a breaking of fellowship. Things like, to tithe or not to tithe, divorce and remarriage, predestination or freewill, women in pastoral leadership, spiritual gifts and so on, are real issues that divide. But even though we might sharply disagree on them, for the most part, they are not issues that break fellowship. But there are some differences that are so fundamental to the faith, that they constitute an irreconcilable difference. One of these issues is the the Identity/Deity of Christ. It's so important a doctrine and a foundational one because the very salvation of man is tied to the person of Jesus and His very Identity. This is where the break between the Christian community and Jehovah witnesses, Mormons and so on come from. The whole house stands or falls on who the person Jesus really is. Is he the one true God revealed in the bible or is He someone else? So enemies? Definitely not. If persecution starts today and anybody who identifies with Christ is being thrown into jail, I'm guessing most people wouldn't even care what denomination or sect the other person identifies with. It's just going to be two Christ followers strengthen each other. But in the grand scheme of things though, on the matter of who Jesus truly is, one has to take a stand on one side or the other because ones very salvation is tied to it. Just my unsolicited two kobo. |

jamesid29:This part really grab my attention, just like you quoted straight out of this part of the scripture; John 17:3- This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God[m, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ. JWs take this Jesus' word to be exactly what he said. Coming to know him(not us) as the 'Only true God and Jesus his Messenger Yes. Jesus was exactly who he said he was, God’s only begotten son. (John 3:16) Thank you and have a nice day
Lol. Actually my comment to him isn't a general statement. JWs use to enjoy conversations with people irrespective of their religion or belief system. As I told the other guy, we respect it that people could hold a different view from us. But your friend doesn't see it that way . He thinks people with different view from him should be is enemy. You didn't subscribe to that, do you? |

tommy589:So how do they raise funds for their projects? Those copies of Watchtower aren't being printed for free, are they? |

HappyPagan: Voluntary donations. Not out of compulsion |

tommy589:'For the work of Christ' is a great compulsion. |

HappyPagan: Won't you donate if you believe in a cause? |
Re: The Olodo Guide To Paying Tithe 2021 by HappyPagan: 8:55am On Jun 08, 2021 |
tommy589:Those who tithe believe in the cause too. |
Re: The Olodo Guide To Paying Tithe 2021 by haddeylium(m): 9:10am On Jun 08, 2021 |
HappyPagan: JWs don't tithe. Collection aren't taken and they don't even have a paid clergy.Our Publication is primarily financed by voluntary donations. Each person decides if he or she wants to donate toward paying for our worldwide work . It’s purely voluntary and not an obligation. Thank you |
Re: The Olodo Guide To Paying Tithe 2021 by HappyPagan: 9:38am On Jun 08, 2021 |
haddeylium:Thanks for clearing that up. |
Re: The Olodo Guide To Paying Tithe 2021 by tommy589(m): 9:47am On Jun 08, 2021 |
HappyPagan: You know quite well that donations and tithes are not the same. Why compare what is done out of free will to tithing Good that you know about watchtower magazine. Is their a price tag when when offered the magazines? Other people's religious beliefs don't bother me one bit and you won't see me question an atheist or pagan for their stance. I have gone through phases of understanding before I chose to study with them. Anyway, I am still a work in progress |
Re: The Olodo Guide To Paying Tithe 2021 by HappyPagan: 10:01am On Jun 08, 2021 |
tommy589:Tithing is free will too. No one is forced to tithe.. that's my point tbf. |
Re: The Olodo Guide To Paying Tithe 2021 by jamesid29(m): 12:21pm On Jun 08, 2021 |
haddeylium:Hmmm, I think part of problem has always been that the conversation is usually framed as an "either or" conversation with all sides looking for verses to support their position. I've seen to many debates on the subject to realize, it rarely goes one way or another. I've come to believe that to really understand the Identity of Christ, we have to understand the entire scripture as one unified story and We have to understand how the early gospel writers understood God, how they understood the old testament and how they understood the world around them. There's a cultural gap between us in the 21st century and the worldview of the biblical authors. Bridging that cultural gap and seeing the entire unified redemptive story of the bible from the old testament to the new testament, is essential in truly seeing how the new testament authors thought of Jesus. In any case,It is well boss. Have a really great day also brother. |

Re: The Olodo Guide To Paying Tithe 2021 by haddeylium(m): 12:53pm On Jun 08, 2021 |
jamesid29:Yes! You're right. Cultures, belief and people change, that's is why we have different many denomination with contradictory doctrines and differing views.You belief may be different from others you considered as you considered as a professed Christains in the Lord! But one thing is sure God's word does not change infact it 'endures forever ' (Isaiah 40: Jesus said that our worship of God must be based on truth—the truth found in the Bible. (John 4:24)And like you said earlier, our salvation depends on taking in “an accurate knowledge of truth.” (1 Timothy 2:4) Jesus Christ didn't watered down God's word, he present God's word as the truth. I can assure you that in imitation of Christ, Jehovah's witnesses based their beliefs purely on the Bible and gave no priority to man-made doctrines. Safe to assume the same with you? |

AdventHero: How much are you going to pay for plagiarizing Jehovah's witnesses material (Picture)? Lol. Just kidding! You mean you'll not salute Nebuchadnezzar's country statue but you will to your National Flag? Make it make sense |
