MaxInDHouse:The gifts the Bible speaks of in Ephesians 4:11 are supernatural gifts that come with the infilling of the Holy Spirit not the type in the girl in Acts 16:16 or witnesses claim. 1 Like |

Now you understand! The GIFT that girl had was inborn, God is a spirit just as demons are also spirits, it's when spirits notice such gifts in men that they'll make use of such a person. That's what Jesus meant when he admonished his listeners to make use of their inborn traits for God by fueling such GIFTS with God's word otherwise demons will seize the opportunity to make use of such individual! Matthew 12:43-45 Please humble yourself and learn from us, that book (Bible) belongs to JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES but if you feel you've gotten the knowledge well go and make use of it. May you have PEACE! thorpido: 1 Like |

MaxInDHouse: I understand your frustration! I was away from Nairaland for more than three weeks, only for me to login and see mentions on my profile. Guess what, among the mentions you are tagging my moniker to provide answers to a topic you raised, you never demand for evidence nor ask me to apologize for anything. Can you see the hypocrisy I do talk about? Now, you can't provide simple answers to my questions but instead for you to allow the next person to do, you start attacking strawman. Anyways, I know you style and it won't stop me from keep exposing your lies and that of your organizatio. Lastly, I still keep to my word and I want you to sue me for it. You once promoted a ponze scheme on this forum with your deleted moniker @maximus69 |

thorpido: He will continue to go back and forth with you on that. For it says: “When he ascended on high he carried away captives; he gave gifts in men........NWT New International Version This is why it says: “When he ascended on high, he took many captives and gave gifts to his people.” New Living Translation That is why the Scriptures say, “When he ascended to the heights, he led a crowd of captives and gave gifts to his people.” English Standard Version Therefore it says, “When he ascended on high he led a host of captives, and he gave gifts to men.” Berean Study Bible This is why it says: “When He ascended on high, He led captives away, and gave gifts to men.” Berean Literal Bible Therefore it says: "Having ascended on high, He led captive captivity, and gave gifts to men." King James Bible Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. New King James Version Therefore He says: “When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, And gave gifts to men.” New American Standard Bible Therefore it says, “WHEN HE ASCENDED ON HIGH, HE LED CAPTIVE THE CAPTIVES, AND HE GAVE GIFTS TO PEOPLE.” NASB 1995 Therefore it says, “WHEN HE ASCENDED ON HIGH, HE LED CAPTIVE A HOST OF CAPTIVES, AND HE GAVE GIFTS TO MEN.” NASB 1977 Therefore it says, “WHEN HE ASCENDED ON HIGH, HE LED CAPTIVE A HOST OF CAPTIVES, AND HE GAVE GIFTS TO MEN.” Amplified Bible Therefore it says, “WHEN HE ASCENDED ON HIGH, HE LED CAPTIVITY CAPTIVE, AND HE BESTOWED GIFTS ON MEN.” Christian Standard Bible For it says: When he ascended on high, he took the captives captive; he gave gifts to people. Holman Christian Standard Bible For it says: When He ascended on high, He took prisoners into captivity; He gave gifts to people. American Standard Version Wherefore he saith, When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, And gave gifts unto men. Aramaic Bible in Plain English Therefore it is said, “He ascended to the heights and took captivity prisoner and he has given gifts to the children of men.” Contemporary English Version As the Scriptures say, "When he went up to the highest place, he led away many prisoners and gave gifts to people."

thorpido:What made you mention the girl if not a gift that's inborn? Well the truth is clear the girl has a gift and demons were using her. That's different from miraculous GIFTS from God. When Jesus selected his 12 Apostles {Luke 6:13} because this men stayed with him through thick and thin {Luke 22:28} and due to Jesus' relationship with his father the heavens stamped it. Matthew 16:18 But after their baptism in the Spirit they continued serving as Apostles yet how many of them really had that inborn traits of the office Jesus appointed them for? For instance apart from there names that are written due to their selection by God's only begotten son, how many of Jesus' Apostles really future in the Bible? Only Matthew and John participated in writing of the gospel while Peter wrote two letters, and Peter whom Jesus appointed as the spokesman denied Jesus before his anointing by the spirit, he also denied his Christian brothers even after been anointed by God's holy spirit. Which proves that their GIFTS to serve as Apostles were miraculous not inborn traits. But take for instance Paul! This man has the charisma and inborn trait to serve as a leader and Apostle {Galatians 1:14} this is what Jesus saw in this man before calling him to come and use that inborn GIFT in the congragation of God! Act 9:1-15 compare to Galatians 1:15 This are inborn GIFTS in men that God see in those that love him before using them in His congregation till today. So some are serving in our midst today as Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Shepherds and Teachers {Ephesians 4:11} because they already have this inborn traits in them before God drew them {John 6:44} to Himself for the edification of His congragation! Ephesians 4:12 No matter how much you try you can't refute the truth because everyone can perceive it whenever it's spoken! |

Re: Are Jehovah's Witnesses Prophets? by Emusan(m): 11:51am On Jul 19, 2021 |
thorpido: It's called grand delusional. They can only manipulate the mind of their followers not the scripture. Observe this quote and compare it with what they are trying to say on this thread and even the purpose of this thread. "The Watchtower is not the instrument of any man or set of men, nor is it published according to the whims of men. No man's opinion is expressed in The Watchtower. God feeds his own people, and surely God uses those who love and serve him according to his own will. Those who oppose The Watchtower are not capable of discerning the truth that God is giving to the children of his organization, and this is the very strongest proof that such opposers are not of God's organization." Watchtower 1931 Nov 1 p.327 If NO MAN OPINION is expressed in watchtower Publications then from where did those failed predictions appear? The irony of it and most ridiculous is that years later, see what another publication claimed. "The brothers preparing these publications are not infallible. Their writings are not inspired as are those of Paul and the other Bible writers." Awake! 1993 Mar 22 p.4 Just imagine the nonsense some people are trying to defend. 2 Likes |

Remember I don't live here and I'm busy outside this platform too. Besides, I'm not interested in debating your personal opinion. Even though you're not my target audience, I'm answering you because you're giving the right attitude atleast paulGrundy: If had come to you and tell you that the world will end tommorow based on Bible understanding,Why won't I Believe you? Of course I'll. But, 1. You must not present it as prophesy (i.e a divine revelation gotten from dream, visions, the visit of am angel...) cos' the Bible made it clear that such miraculous gift ends in the era of the apostle.(1cor 13: So, I believe God's word. 2. You must be able to present your understanding of the prophesy in the Bible, the Bible chronology and the evidence of the assertion you making. With that, any sincere person that have deep respect for God's word will believe you after comparing what you said with the scriptures. You can check this link about how the sincere Bible students give their surmises about "the end of the gentile times" in their study if the already stated prophesy in the Bible. https://www.jw.org/en/library/books/bible-teach/1914-significant-year-bible-prophecy/ 2. What is your criteria for a false prophet?The definition most people are familiar with a False prophet is a person who claims to receives specific messages from God by supernatural means (such as visions, dreams, the visit of an angel) and they do not come to pass. Jehovah's witnesses never claimed to posses such Gift. They're not prophet in that sense or even even inspired. so, they cannot be a False prophet Also, Jesus Himself was viewed as a “false prophet” by the majority in His day as He fit the description of a false prophet in the view of the religious leaders of His day. 3. At what point does one makes false predictions?I don't think I understand your loaded question here.Since, this about Jw, my answers will be in related to them So, many people have been lied to. We've never predicted anything. What we've had was wrong expectations of Bible prophecy. Truly, there were some believers, splinters, who thought other times were the end. But it was NEVER the official notifications of the organization. Not ever. We always go by God's word in (Matt 24:36) Just like Jesus apostles, when their expectations of some prophesy failed. we realise that we are imperfect and make mistakes by being over eager, and that the time for understanding the prophecy had not yet arrived. We will all keep on the watch as Christ encouraged Thank you for your time! 2 Likes |

haddeylium: My brother, all your explanation is sound and clear but that's not what this faithless people want from you. What they're saying indirectly is this: "We are all tired of organized worship and we are not taking any of them seriously again, that's what you should do too so that we can all become fugitives that aren't working zealously for God with any organized group" So just tell them you're worshiping with JWs but you don't take the Organization serious and see how they'll celebrate you with greatest excitement! |

MaxInDHouse: My brother, all your explanation is sound and clear but that's not what this faithless people want from you. Point of emphasis..... faithless people.....no be you dey share the faith or give people faith. Faithometer no dey in your care. When people don't dance to your tune is not enough reason to say they are faithless What they're saying indirectly is this: You won't want to be spokesman of those you have repeatedly downgraded here on this forum. It will bring you lower than their level. Face wetin dey before you. "We are all tired of organized worship and we are not taking any of them seriously again, that's what you should do too so that we can all become fugitives that aren't working zealously for God with any organized group" Had you taken into consideration the in essence part of that post given to you by falseprophet the picture for clear for your eyes. DAVID and most of the prophet were FUGITIVE at a point in time in their lives. Who was their ENEMIES? Answer "JEHOVAH'S ORGANISATION" And you that have faith and even the convention wey dey go on in your midst which is about faith dem never teach you or you never find time to read in Hebrews 11 that many of them did the below............ They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; 38 (Of whom the world was not worthy they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth........who made this people this way? Answer...... "Jehovah's organization" So just tell them you're worshiping with JWs but you don't take the Organization serious and see how they'll celebrate you with greatest excitement Why will they take religious organization created by men serious when you are familiar with result from time past till present. Giving wrong expectations, false predictions and prophecies which have repeatedly mislead many and in some case death/poverty/unnecessary suffering/fugitives e.t.c Many within the organisation you belong who countered such teachings of whom the organization sent packing suffered many of the consequences highlighted up there. |

haddeylium: My brother we're doing fine! Please the highlighted is very important. Don't think all these Apostates are disfellowshiped! Many of them are still associating with us but in their hearts they are waiting for the opportunity to support God's enemies when the great tribulations begin so as to help God's enemies in fishing us out! Matthew 24:10 So they've been stumbled due to their selfish cravings but since they know that there is no other place where pure worship is practiced they're laying low waiting for an opportunity to devastate the relative peace we are enjoying in God's Organization! You would have had dealings with them in the congragation but because of your our heart you may not notice it. Can you imagine one circuit overseer asking "do you really think God's Kingdom is coming truly as they say?" So who are "they" that's saying God's Kingdom is coming if not God's word? Or is God's Kingdom also a fabrication of the GB? This was a circuit overseer o! Jehovah's spirit have fished him out and now he's just attending meetings but do you think if not due to the courageous act of our sister with whom brother was discussing not knowing that sisters phone was on recording at that moment how will sister back the report against a circuit overseer for goodness sake? During the interrogation sister said she didn't have the intention to record brother's speech but she wanted to record the usual speaking in tongues that one so called pastor in the area often use during their evening worship as an evidence that they're just spewing gibberish unknowingly to sister that Jehovah's spirit was ready to reveal another thing to her! So please don't assume they're all disfellowshiped, many of them are still very much with us but only Jehovah knows that they're not of our sort! 1John 2:19 |
