That they should refrain from even mentioning their names in discussion and the rest He wants to tell us this same government didn't dialogue several times with same Boko Haram to seek peace just to advance his agenda. That's how they lie and manipulate their members into believing what others do are bad. 2 Likes |

Re: Manipulation Of Bible Verses In The Jehovah's Witness Bible by Courz: 9:05am On May 13 |
JW Bible below. Other translations say If you ask me. Me was ommitted in the JW Bible but it is present in other translations, in the Greek translation and in their Kingdom interlinear. Why was 'me' removed? Remember, these are the words of Jesus himself. It is Because The verse is telling JWs that they can talk to Jesus. They can ask him for anything in his name. But this goes against their doctrines. It goes against their belief in Jesus not being God. They have marketed only Jehovah far too much. They can't have JWs believing they can talk with Jesus. Therefore, they removed me even though their Kingdom interlinear includes It. This change again is an attack on Jesus and a deliberate separation of JWs from Jesus. 1 Like 1 Share

JW Bible below. The phrase Union with was added to change the meaning of the verse. Why? Watchtower has a problem with Jesus being in his Father. They don't have a logical explanation to what it means. But if they add Union with, they can explain better. That phrase cannot be found in the Greek translation and their Kingdom interlinear uses the correct translation. 1 Like 1 Share

Aemmyjah: I don't answer unintelligent questions. It's like asking if there were no police before armed robbers emerged. Soldiers are not there to prevent the emergence of Boko Haram. They're there to defend the country against any form of aggression - currently emerging or future emergences. What type of foolish question is that?

Re: Manipulation Of Bible Verses In The Jehovah's Witness Bible by Courz: 10:16am On May 13 |
JW Bible below. As you can see, they replaced the word Spirits with Spiritual lives. Spiritual Lives also means godly life. The problem is, fixing It there changes the verse completely. Why was this change made? Reading from verse 22, we are told that the first century Christians have been called to Mount Zion, the city of God, the Heavenly Jerusalem mentioned in the book Of Revelation, and to numerous Angels that can't be numbered in a festive gathering, and to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven which Revelation calls the 144,000, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect. Therefore, everyone mentioned above are all in Heaven. This Bible verse completely disagrees with the JW doctrine of Paradise Earth. Verse 23 talks about the Spirits of the righteous made perfect. JWs are never taught this. You can see that there is no distinction of Anointed and Great Crowd like the JWs teach. It talks about the Spirits of the righteous, not the Spirits of the JW Anointed. To further show the fallacy in JW doctrines about the Spirit in humans, the verse says the Spirits of the righteous will be made perfect showing that Humans are both Body and Spirit and Spirit is not a force. This is why Apostle Paul 1 Corinthians 15 Vs 42 to 44 says that the Resurrection of the Dead will happen this way : what is sown a physical body , it is raised up as a spiritual body. Very simple to understand. The righteous will not be raised as physical beings which completely destroy s the Paradise Earth doctrine. Apostle Paul also says in verse 50 of the same chapter, Flesh and Blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God, thereby destroying Paradise Earth doctrine once again. Paul also says in verse 54, when what is corruptible which is the physical body, puts on what is incorruptible that is immortal which is the Spirit body, Then the saying that is written will come to pass, which is, Death Swallowed up Forever. This means the righteous now being in a glorified Spirit form means Death has been swallowed up forever! This is not what JWs are taught. It is a good thing that Apostle Paul took his time to explain very well what the Resurrection of the Dead will look like. Paul's explanation completely destroys the Paradise Earth and the JW view of the Spirits of humans. Watchtower cannot have JWs see this verse destroying their lies . So, they changed Spirits to Spiritual Lives even though their Kingdom interlinear shows the correct Greek word. When you read the context, adding Spiritual lives make no sense. 2 Likes 1 Share

MaxInDHouse: Balderdash! It's seems you have a soft spot for Boko Haram. That must be because they're like JW organization. Boko Haram wants to set up its rulers like the JW rulers. If they're allowed to rule, we'll see their rulers the same way we're seeing the JW rulers. So, now all politicians are terrorists but Boko Haram is not. Boko Haram is a good organization similar to JW organization. Shekau is just like Russel. The fighters in Boko Haram are just like Maxindhouse and Aemmyjah. No difference. The soldiers should focus on the politicians and leave Boko Haram alone. Boko Haram is doing the work of the god of JW. Politicians are the enemies.

Re: Manipulation Of Bible Verses In The Jehovah's Witness Bible by Courz: 10:59am On May 13 |
Below is JW Bible. This time , their Kingdom interlinear was touched to blend with theirs. Look at the Greek word for Punishment in their Kingdom interlinear. It matches with the one above I posted. Yet, they went ahead to put the wrong English word on top. Very obvious fraud. Why was punishment replaced with Cutting off in their Bible? Because they don't believe in Hell and Torment for the wicked. Remember, these are the words of Jesus, one of the many times He mentioned Torment. Jesus disagrees with the JW doctrine. Therefore, Watchtower decided to change the words to flow with their made up doctrine showing that they disagree with Jesus.

MaxInDHouse: My dear, even if JW has fed you with the nonsense you're telling me to take note of at the bolded, should you not use your own senses? A people (Israelites) are coming to attack a town (Jericho), and you're saying the men in Jericho were fighting for their ruler, not their families. Would the attackers attack only the ruler? Please reason like a mature man now. Should you fill your head with gibberish just because someone said you should do so? Even Rahab herself did what she did, not because of God but because of her family. She didn't know God at the time but she knew that the Israelites had an upper hand against her city, so it was just wise to broker peace with them. Here what she said: "Before the men lay down, she came up to them on the roof and said to the men, “I know that the Lord has given you the land, and that the fear of you has fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you. For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and Og, whom you devoted to destruction. And as soon as we heard it, our hearts melted, and there was no spirit left in any man because of you, for the Lord your God, he is God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath. Now then, please swear to me by the Lord that, as I have dealt kindly with you, you also will deal kindly with my father's house, and give me a sure sign that you will save alive my father and mother, my brothers and sisters, and all who belong to them, and deliver our lives from death.” Just read the bolded above, you'll understand the reason why Rahab acted the way she did. Today all the nations fighting are doing so in support of human rulers none is defending anything it's a deceit!Balderdash! That's another hogwash. You mean Zelensky is fighting Russia so that he can continue ruling over the souls of Ukrainians? Hilarious! What sort of reasoning is this? Mr man, you've become almost irredeemable. Only Jesus can save you. So Jesus made it clear to his disciples that it was before that worshipers of God need to fight and defend Jerusalem because that's the place where God chose for His name to be called but after he has come there is no such place again {John 4:23-24}So, it was only Jerusalem God allowed the Israelites army to defend? SMH. Saul the first king of Israel fought his FIRST BATTLE to defend Jabesh-gilead, not Jerusalem. The FIRST BATTLE David led was done from his enclave while hiding away from Saul. That battle was fought to defend Keilah, not Jerusalem. God, wants people to defend themselves, not just Jerusalem. His principles have not yet changed. from that day faithful servants of God realized that they don't have to fight in support of any nation again whoever wants to rule is none of our business all what we need is freedom to continue preaching and teaching about God's Kingdom that's coming to wipe out all human government! Daniel 2:44 It doesn't make sense my dear. No sense it this at all. Read your post again. When an attacker is coming against your country, he's not there to attack just your ruler. He's there to attack you with an aim either to kill you or take away your freedom. Adolph Hitler for example wanted to take away everyone's freedom and put them all under the oppressive rule of Germany. Imagine what would have happened to the world if everyone was a JW? You've failed to answer my pertinent question: Did Peter ask Cornelius or any other soldier in that meeting to lay down their swords just because they've become believers? 1 Like |

Next is Acts 7 Vs 60. This is an example of a verse where Watchtower places Jehovah instead of Lord or Jesus. This is the verse where Stephen was being stoned and he prayed to Jesus. Why did they fix Jehovah instead of Lord or Jesus? Once again, Watchtower cannot allow JWS know that they can talk to Jesus being Mighty God. Remember, Jesus says you are free to speak to him as I showed earlier. Watchtower also prevents JWs from having a relationship with Jesus. So, all around the New Testament, Jehovah is splattered everywhere Jesus is being talked about. The name Jehovah cannot be found in the Greek translation of the New Testament. The New Testament is all about Jesus. 2 Likes 1 Share

Aemmyjah: You're such an irredeemable nuisance. If there are no violent and criminal elements and warmongers, there'll never be the need for soldiers. The whole world was living at peace with themselves until unscrupulous elements arose in the society which gave birth to the need to raise military defenses. It is a sign of mental decay for anyone to reason that the emergence of soldiers gave rise to the emergence of kidnappers, etc. How can anyone be so mentally damaged? If every warmonger and criminal element in the world turn new leaves today and become law abiding, even every military formation worldwide would be dismantled.

Well if you must know POLITICIANS are people who come to you as if they're for your good but inwardly they just want to drain your pocket and dominate you. Once they're able to brainwash some of your people to become their guards the next thing is forcing their opinions on you using weapons to threaten whoever opposes them. 1Samuel 8:10-18 Jesus commanded only his own disciples that is people who surrendered themselves to his orders so no force or weapons is involved and anyone is free to take his leave if you're no longer comfortable with his ideas! John 6:66 That's exactly what Jehovah's Witnesses are doing, you come freely and you're also free to take your leave nobody will force you to continue obeying the rules! |
