He is not Igbo, he is divide and rule people. They always claim Igbo but give themselves out through their write-up

T [s]he endtime began when Jesus walked the earth with his followers {Matthew 4:17 compare to Matthew 11:12} all those who refused to join Jesus' group have missed the mark of salvation as angels moving around will not write down their names {Malachi 3:16} that's why Jesus could refer to living people during his time as "the dead" {Luke 9:60} it has run down to our days.
Satan is seriously working out different schemes to distract people from joining God's people today.
So i'm sorry buda if you're not a baptized JW by now you've missed the mark of salvation. It doesn't really means all the baptised JWs will enter God's Kingdom but it's the first step all prospective citizens of the kingdom of our God must take! Act 2:37-38 compare to Matthew 28:19-20
After this step prospective citizens must continue to meet together with fellow believers for continuous encouragement and instructions! Hebrews 10:24-25
This may sound bitter but it's the truth, go now and ask your JW neighbours on what you must do to be saved, their love towards you presently is just what they must exhibit towards all their neighbours but the mark of salvation is only within JWs.
I have told you, you may hate me for this but if i were you i'll go and ask my JW neighbours if this is true or not. Please don't hate them when they tell you the truth.
The mark of salvation is ongoing presently amongst JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES! [/s]

If Biafra gets her independence through bloodshed and great sacrifice it will forever be in Biafrans mind making them super patriotic and will flood in mass into their military force.

To you but not to my global family, it's much more than that!

Love God and neighbours: Mark 12:28-31
Mosaic law the Israelites needs in order not to loose the blessings that will come along with being kind to strangers.
Because when the Messiah (Christ) or his messengers (Christians) start the program to dispense life saving information during the endtime only those who have the love for God and neighbours will benefit as they will easily welcome the Christians into their homes! Matthew 10:11-15 compare to Romans 10:13-15
But for Christians Jesus gave us a new law that doesn't involve none JWs! John 13:34-35
This is the law that will remain in the midst of God's people when all the gifts of the spirit are no more active {1Corinthians 13:8-13} of course due to our keeping the greatest of all Mosaic laws (love for God and for neighbours) many people like you may not observe the difference, but if you're a diligent observer you'll notice that despite loving all our neighbours JWs have greater love for fellow JWs! Galatians 6:10
Thanks!

Neither Christ nor Wisdom ever complained of my Eating and Taking not instructed that I should concern myself with the rights of others to Eat and Drink thereof.

HappyPagan:
If you start killing them, you aren't Christian. That's not Christ like. YOU have only given in to the enemy.. the enemy of FEAR that rules your mind. What's in this world that you struggle for with the Muslims? Isn't heaven more than enough for you?

abi that one na just talk

sonmvayina:
I have answered your question.

If you are asking if I would eat the fruit, I said I probably would just to experience what death is since I already have an idea what life is.....

LordReed:
I too wrote very coherently about how no war of religion is on record before the advent of Christianity and Islam

Why were there no religious wars between pagans before Christianity took over Europe?

Generally speaking, when two pagan sides fought, it was acknowledged that the losing side had weaker gods than the winners, but the weaker gods were still considered 'real'. Sadly, the biggest obstacle to writing about pre-Christian religious wars is simply the lack of writings describing the war and the reasons for it: as such, we rarely have more than a "our gods say it's ok to kill these guys". If you want some examples of that, though, there a fairly large number:

Every war waged by the Pharaoh of Egypt was practically a religious war, since the Pharaoh was the leader of Egypt's main religion.
The Jewish wars in the old testament (like the Battle of Jericho) were almost all religious wars, at least according to the Bible.
The Persians apparently burned Greek temples in the various Persian invasions of Greece, so Alexander burned down the Persian palace in response.
The Vikings literally had a religion centered around war.
In the America's, wars were fought to capture slaves for the purpose of sacrifice, at least while the Aztecs were still around.

For forced conversion into a polytheistic religion, there's the example of Antiochus IV of the Seleucid kingdom, who tried to force the worship of Greek gods onto Jews, thereby sparking the Maccabaean revolt.

The Aztecs waged war on their neighbours to take sacrifical captives and slaves, and deliberately left their enemies as rump states so they could declare war on them again and again, practically farming them for sacrifices to their god.

Many Chinese civil wars had a significant religious element to them. One of the most famous was the Yellow Headscarf Rebellion (184–205 AD) which was led by adherents of a Taoist sect called the “Path of Supreme Peace”. They proclaimed the rebellion a struggle between the old “Azure sky” (Han dynasty, largely a Confucian entity, at least in words) and the new “Yellow sky”.

The Roman invasion of Gaul, which saw pagans on both sides of wars that lasted several years. After the Romans had succeeded in their cause, they set about suppressing the Gauls’ Druid priests, constructing their own temples over Celtic sites, and turning “holy springs” into thermal spas . Worship of native gods might be allowed, but that was largely only the case if such practices did not preclude the conquered from observing the practices of the Roman cult.

The Germanic Saxons, Angles, and Jutes invaded Celtic Britain, and they brought with them their own pagan beliefs, which they would eventually abandon for Christianity. Subsequently, other Germanic peoples would invade and bring pagan beliefs back to then-Christian Britain. In each of these cases, preexisting beliefs may have been tolerated to a certain extent, but the conquering peoples’ religious beliefs virtually always came to replace those of the conquered.

Christians were persecuted by Romans authorities because they were “other,” because they refused to honor the local gods and so dishonored both the gods and their worshippers, they refused to worship the Emperor and were thus disloyal to the state. Persecution of Christians happened in a variety of ways including social ostracization, confiscation of property, loss of public office, anti-Christian riots, and spasmodically in capital punishment. Perhaps the most well-known account is that of Nero’s cruel pogrom against Christians in Rome in the mid-60s AD. Tacitus noted how Nero blamed Christians for the burning of Rome. He picked on the Christians because by they were hated by the masses and they were tortured for public amusement! Now I could go on and mention the martyrdoms of Bishop Ignatius (ca. 110 AD), Bishop Polycarp (ca. 150 AD), Justin Martyr (ca. 165 AD), and the Perpetua and Felicity (ca. 203 AD) to name a few. But the post is long enough and you get the point. Pagans killed Christians because they hated them!

All of the above are just a few examples of pagans making war because of their religion. I copied these from historians. Most paganism was not peaceful .

MaxInDHouse:
That's the difference!
We are worshipers of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob!

HellVictorinho:
I command you to keep repeating it till you die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MaxInDHouse:
You may continue deceiving yourself but the truth is if you're not a JW you can't possibly worship our God....

MaxInDHouse:
That's the difference!
We are highly sensitive to what our neighbour believes.

budaatum:
But that shouldn't preclude me from saying what god is to me, so, here goes.

God fills gaps. Sorry theists, but it's a fact. When many try to describe what God is, you would find a gap of ignorance being filled. Take the creation of the universe for instance. Rather than claim, "I don't know how the universe was created", a religious person would claim God done it, but if they were honest, they would admit that they believe God done it, thereby filling a gap in their ignorance. The truth is, no one knows how the universe came into existence billions of years ago, but since it seems to work so well, it is logical to assume something was behind the existence of the universe, hence, God fills the gap.

A reading of the Christian scripture clearly states that no one has ever seen God. Jesus never showed anyone any God either, not even the Kingdom of God did he show. And as for Jesus being God, I'm afraid I do not get that from my Bible. To me, Jesus was the embodiment of God, and by that I mean he so followed what was taught in the God books of his day and time that he was as close to God as many got. He even went as far as saving many by teaching them better ways to exist and relate to one another, and in my opinion, worshipping him is meaningless if by worship, "do my will" is not meant. The clue for this is in his "even moreso than I have done shall you do", which includes even raising the dead and living everlastingly, which, considering people died before their 40^th birthday in his day, our comfortable 70 years more than qualifies. As to evidence of raising the dead, go to a hospital and you might get my gist. Doctors save people's lives everyday through the knowledge that they have acquired.

To claim God is anything in particular is tantamount to creating an image, which we humans are very fond of. When we ask someone what their religion is, we are asking so we know what image of them we may hold in our heads. However, humans are not simple images as you may be able to tell by considering the little we know of even those who are very close to us. Yet, we can't help with our image making it would seem, for making images we must, with recognition that since our knowledge of God is limited and a gap filler, to claim God is any one thing in particular, is limiting God to our limited knowledge of God, when in truth, God is way much more than we conceive with our limited minds.

So, with that in mind, I am offering 951 Names and Titles of God as what God may be conceived to be, along with a pdf download of One Hundred Names for God according to Katrina's Dream and Names of God in Islam. You may not agree with them all, but I'm certain you'd find a few that fit any conception of God that you might have ever conceived.

Do note though that God is in no way limited to all or any of these 'whats' that God is listed as being! In truth, we are figuring out daily what God is, and increasing in knowledge everyday. And to claim to know what God actually is, is just as foolish as saying, there is no God, in my opinion. For no one has truly seen God (unless you have, of course).

As to my screaming it from the mountaintop if I were that way inclined, I'm waiting to know what to scream since I am that way inclined.

Who are the atheists? Please we prefer to be called traditionalists.

MaxInDHouse:
When a Nairalander accused you wrongly do you still remember the one and only Nairalander that came to refute the accusation?
I'll remind you buda, it's no other Nairalander than Maximus!
That's shows how far a neighbour can stand to defend you before false accusers but does that mean you and Maximus are worshipers of the same God?
NO!

LordReed:
I dunno why you bother writing coherent sentences since typing hahzvgfjrbdbbdhfbfbdj would have worked as well, according to you they are all letters.

sonmvayina:
You just don't want to learn..or you are deliberately ignoring my teaching...whichever case you still loose..

Forget about the written words. That conversation NEVER happened. Learn the message in the story.

You can't interpret what never transpired....it is just a story..

God is not a man...

“When I decide to ‘exhibit’ an immaterial sculpture in a given space, that space will concentrate a certain amount and density of thoughts at a precise point, creating a sculpture that, from my title, will only take the most varied forms. After all, don’t we shape a God we’ve never seen?”

This kind of tractor was used in the movie 'interstellar'. Watch that movie and see what is waiting for our kids in the future. Worrying.

MaxInDHouse:
I noticed you're not getting the gist from your apostate friend, even while he's trying to prove that JWs shouldn't be taken seriously you're just talking about Maximus who has been open to you on what we believe.

MaxInDHouse:
Can you please paste the comment i made that depicts evil against anyone?

sonmvayina:
We are meant to read them and learn the messages they contain...

LordReed:
I'm sorry buda but you are wrong. If we simply broaden definitions till everything fits in one big circle then there is no point in making distinctions. No war of idealogy was over religion, simple.

LordReed:
What you are saying is like someone saying there has never been a cyber war until the advent of supercomputers then you say no the person is wrong because war must always have a theater so it doesn't matter that its a cyber war.

LordReed:
There is a reason for definitions and distinctions, waving your hands will not wish them away.
