We are no part of your confused religious system.
We are Jehovah's Witnesses, the one and only group practicing pure worship.
So go and fine your own family in your religion because we are no part of your confused and spiritually scattered worship! Luke 11:23

Luke 11:17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.

Put your house in order and stop speaking what you can't defend. No single proof from the holy Bible to prove your point.
Which Bible una dey use sef
Behaving like the Pharisees in the time of Jesus Christ.

Stop deceiving yourself!

If you're arguing with your fellow religionists it simply means all of you are confused and scattered. Luke 11:23
I have done what the Holy Spirit brought me here to do so it's left for you to humble yourself and accept the truth or continue arguing with your fellow religionists.
Just know that Jehovah's Witnesses has been called out of the confusion you people keep yourself we are standing out! John 17:14

You're the one deceiving yourself.
What attributes do you have to call yourselves a name reserved for God's ELECTS Who made you a custodian of the WORD OF GOD
who appointed you a SAINT
It seems you're too full of yourself to accept the TRUTH. Why can't you humble yourselves and read that Bible you carry up and down to preach what you don't understand to people and read it thoroughly. Pray for the Spirit to give you understanding.

2 Samuel 23:2 The Spirit of the LORD spake by me, and his word was in my tongue.

MaxInDHouse:
Stop deceiving yourself!
The one and only group known as Jehovah's Witnesses is the Watchtower.
Even your own Church members will refute it profusely if you call them Jehovah's Witnesses.

I just want you to know that we are no part of your religious sects arguing amongst yourselves. We are Jehovah's Witnesses and we are no part of you people!

I always have a reply for you from the scripture which many of you WTBTS don't follow to the letters. You changed some to suit your belief.
Listen to what Christ said

Matthew 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

This is what many of you do maybe dir to ignorance but gradually some of your members are getting more enlightened.

1 Timothy 5:13 And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.

There are many things your church needs to change so as to be in line with the true teachings of Jesus Christ.
I commend watch tower for keeping to letters some of the true teachings as contained in the Bible. But you guys have a lot to learn. Gradually you people will see the light and acknowledge God's order of things. Peace

MaxInDHouse:
Well i'll only enlighten you on the meaning of that word "Christendom" it means sects of different beliefs and ideologies claiming denominations of followers of Christ.

Whereas "Christians" in the first century had the same line of thought just as Jesus fervently prayed! John 17:20-23; Romans 15:5-6; 1Corinthians 1:10; Ephesians 4:3

Though the group name "Christians" was a borrowed name, God only permitted His worshipers to bear it until Jesus came in 1914 to separate pure worship from false religions.

God allowed different sects to claim they belong to Him from the first century until 1914 but in 1931 when the true have seen how His Son (Jesus) efficiently separated faithful people and brought them under one umbrella as He (God) promised in the Bible book of Isaiah 2:2-4 and Micah 4:1-3

JEHOVAH the true God began calling His own worshipers by another name: JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES! Isaiah 65:15

So you can continue arguing with your fellow worshipers our own God has separated us and given us the name that throughout the world everyone can SEE clearly the difference between us and all those claiming believers in in our God! Matthew 5:13-16

May you have PEACE!

WTBTS which is a religious organization you belonged called herself Jehovah witness.
Take a look at what you quoted from verse 1
Isaiah 65:1 I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name. 65:2 I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts; 65:3 A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick; 65:9 And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there. 65:15 And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord GOD shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name: 65:16 That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes. 65:17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

Now the question is
Who Are Jehovah's Witness
Is it Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society?
Definitely not. They're a group who profess christian faith.

Jehovah's Witnesses are those who Jehovah the Almighty God commission through His beloved son Jesus Christ to propagate His saving gospel and gospel of peace As clearly stated in...

Romans 10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

Ephesians 6:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

Continuing, the set of Christians referred to as Jehovah's witness are the very ELECT of God. The apostles, the Remnants of The SAINTS. They are those who are redeemed from among men.
The One hundred and Forty and Four Thousand. ( 144,000 )

Revelation 7:4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

Revelation 14:1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. 14:2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: 14:3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. 14:4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

They are not thought by any man but by the holy spirit of God.
Those are the real Jehovah's witness.
God gave an example using Jeremiah the prophet and I quote

Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

Stop turning the Holy Scripture upside down to suit your belief. Be warned for everyone shall give account of his doing before Christ.
This is the reason we have different believe in churches today. Let us uphold the true teachings our Lord and stop the removing somethings to suit our worship

May the peace of God be into you.

MaxInDHouse:
Well i will also like to ask you one question, if you answer mine then i will not hesitate to answer yours.

What do you think about over 41,000 different sects all claiming denominations of Christianity with contradicting teachings and conflicting doctrines all in the name of Jesus Christ who is a strong advocate of oneness in thought {John 17:20-23} does it befits what Jesus prayed for or a blasphemy on the name of the true God?

1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 2:2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 2:3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

Read also Revelation 16:13'14

Those are the reasons we have devise teachings in Christendom today.
Your church also have more to learn and get corrected also.
Peace into you.

MaxInDHouse:
That is why Jesus came back in 1914 and began the harvest work {Matthew 13:24-30} before then there were several different sects all claiming denominations of Christianity.
So when Jesus returned he couldn't find the faith he once established {Luke 18:8} as in the oneness he fervently prayed for {John 17:22} that's why Jesus sent out his angels to search through all the groups to see if any of them is prepared to repent of their nonsense and ingredients they're doing in his name.
The one and only group Jesus' angels found is known back then as the International Bible Students Association popularly known as Jehovah's Witnesses today.
Immediately Jesus started his work again as he did in the first century correcting them on the things they got wrong. And gradually the Jehovah's Witnesses were making amendments. It was December 1926 that this group celebrated Christmas for the last time as Jesus was using God's Holy Spirit to correct them. John 16:12-13
Today people worldwide may think Jehovah's Witnesses never celebrated Christmas the way we hate that pagan festival today but it's Jesus who brought the light to show us how filthy it is and we stopped! Proverbs 4:18
So you don't need to continue arguing with them once you know the truth [John 8:32] about Christmas and it's origin what Jesus is saying in the spirit is:


And I heard another voice out of heaven say: “Get out of her, my people, if you do not want to share with her in her sins, and if you do not want to receive part of her plagues. For her sins have massed together clear up to heaven, and God has called her acts of injustice to mind. Revelations 18:4-5

Even though they can see evil things always happening during this period every year they will not listen until what happened to people in Noah's day come upon them! Luke 17:26

May you have PEACE!

Thank you for your contribution.
One question I want to ask is.
Are Jehovah's witness the only true church in Christendom?

AntiChristian:
So you're saying God forgot to mention a date for you so you helped him by choosing an idol's date to celebrate with him?

This proves that anything goes in Christianity! Christianity is a pagan religion! The tree sure looks like masquerade just as Santa!

Let me enlighten you. So you will know the dark act of devil.

Revelation 16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 16:14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

Isaiah 9:16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.

1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

The above Bible passages showed that many people shall be lead astray due to the evil seed the devil has shown in Christendom to deceive many.
But Jesus Christ knows His sheep and when He calls, they will answerand follow him wherever He goes

AntiChristian:
Don't be pained!

So you now agree Christianity is a pagan religion?

Prove that Christianity is not a pagan religion?

It is agreed that the two 'Eid are the only celebrations in Islam. Maolid is an innovation and we don't celebrate birthdays as those are not in our texts!

But Christianity is fond of pagan Christmas why?

Christianity is not a pagan religion.
For the fact the devil sow the seed of confusion in the minds of some who profane Christianity doesn't make it a pagan.
Moreover, many Christians all over the world don't have anything to do with Christmas because it is pagan.
However, we that have come to know the truth must continue to enlighten others till they except the truth as contained in the Holy Book of Books, THE BIBLE.
Is a gradual process before they come to light.

Truthissupreme:
pains

If God created all the days in the year and Christian's have chosen to honour his birth with one i see nothing pagan in it

God himself asked for a day called Sabbath to be dedicated to him because he deserves honour

On that same Sunday/Saturday pagans celebrate activities in it, does it mean christians who worship on that day are pagans

From history and origin Christmas is a mass for Christ, the symbolism behind it is about Christ, nobody is worshipping satan and Halloween on that day

Infact Satan is never worshipped by sharing a date with Jesus reminding him of his failure to eliminate him at birth

The question is. Why bring in the date of the birth of the sun god and use it to celebrate the day Christ was born.
How do you read your Bible
We should be very careful with the way we serve God. Many are serving idolatry all in the name of serving God.
Eg the bowing of an image of Mary and that of Jesus.
Our God is a jealous God and don't share His glory with anything.
A word is enough for the wise.
Peace

A word is enough for the wise.

Let no man put a pagan festival before our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

You will be judge and punished accordingly.
No excuse to give because you have been warned.

Many people who do these celebration don't have any idea what they're even doing.
God bless us all and give us the spirit of understanding. Amen.

PastorM:
Overdone topic - and everyone who posts on it think they've just discovered something new. Give it a rest. Christmas is over. Save it till next year. God bless.

Christmas As A Pagan Festival

That Christmas was originally a Pagan festival is beyond all doubt,” stated Alexander Hislop. “The time of the year, and the ceremonies with which it is still celebrated, prove its origin,” he added. (The Two Babylons, page 93) Concerning Christmas, E. E. Kellett wrote: “No one can doubt that it has many pagan characters; and indeed this is why it was totally rejected by some Dissenting Churches.” (A Short History of Religions).
The “Christmas Editorial” of the African Challenge of December 1959, vindicates our view. It states in part: “Christ, the matchless Saviour of mankind, would undoubtedly be grieved by the way the world celebrates His traditional birthday. The world as well as those who are Christians by name celebrate Christmas with great jubilation at the expense of worship…The Christmas season is increasingly becoming a time for most business people to make more money. The most profitable season of the year for nearly all shops is the Christmas season, when the public is enticed: ‘Do your Christmas shopping early!’ Another thing that robs us of the meaning of Christmas is traditionalism… Do not some even join pagan customs with their Christmas celebrations?” Please let people ponder these things and stop deceiving themselves.
If there is any season when the Police at most have a restless time in the year, it is the Christmas season. If there is any period when more cases of crimes, accidents and deaths are reported in the year, it is the same notorious Christmas season.
The acts of lawlessness and hooliganism that always characterize its celebration are but sure proofs that it is an unchristian affair. It is a time when people eat and drink in excess. Some disfigure themselves with all sorts of masks, carry about dreadful images and others paint their faces and run amok like crazy people to do havoc and disturb the peace of responsible people. How can the Christian mind imagine that all these abominations are done to honour the Son of God, Jesus Christ the Righteous who is the Prince of Peace? It is unthinkable!
This sermon does not warn you against celebrating the birthday of Christ at the spiritually appropriate time and in a Christian manner to the glory of God. St. Paul advised that God should be served in the way acceptable to Him. – Hebrews 12: 28.

ROMAN CATHOLIC CONFESSION

Concerning the date of Christ’s birth, The Catholic Voice of December 1956, has the following to say: “The 25th. Dec., the present feast of Christmas has a longstanding tradition, but it is likely that in the beginning it was simply fixed on one of the great public holidays of the civil year and probably one that was originally a pagan feast”! (Page 179-180,
In answer to a question as to how the Roman Catholics managed to know from Holy Scripture that Jesus was born on December 25th, The Catholic Voice, issue of July 1962, states: “The Gospels do not mention any date for the birth of Christ. We do not know the date of Christ’s birth, not even the year in which He was born,”

The following piece extracted from “A Christmas Sermon” by a Protestant Pastor, which was published in the African Challenge of December 1959, speaks for itself: .. Was Jesus born on December 25? In fairness to the critics who ask this question, it must be admitted that although we know the year” (unlike the Roman Catholics that do not know the year) “the exact day of the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ is not known…Long before Christ was born, December 25 had been the time for a noisy pagan festival in honour of the god of the sun, In time, however, the Church substituted Christmas for the old pagan festival with the view of turning the minds of the heathen to the true living God”

HISTORICAL FACTS
There is no authentic history in existence that gives support to the teaching that Jesus Christ was born in December.


There was no such festival as Christmas until the fourth century, and it was the Romish Church in its characteristic tendency of “meeting Paganism half-way”, that just fixed on December 25 as Christ’s birthday. We shall dwell on this point later on in this sermon.
Earl W. Count, in his book, 4000 Years of Christmas, stated that “December twentyfifth is no more the historical date of His (Christ’s) birth than is any other”. He added: “The Christians chose it to be His birthday only several centuries after he had lived and died.” (Page 34).
We cannot do without making reference to the evidence of the well-known ecclesiastical historian, Alexander Hislop. In his distinguished work, The Two Babylons, he wrote: “There is not a word in the Scriptures about the precise day of His (Christ’s) birth…What is recorded there, implies that at what time soever His birth took place, it could not have been on the 25th of December… The cold of the night, from December to February, is very piercing, and it was not the custom for the shepherds of Judea to watch their flocks in the open fields later than about the end of October. It is in the last degree incredible, then, that the birth of Christ could have taken place at the end of December.” (Pages 91-92, emphasis ours)
On this point there is great unanimity among commentators who include Barnes, Doddridge, Lightfoot, Joseph Scaliger, Joseph Mede, and Jennings, in his Jewish Antiquities. After a comprehensive disquisition on the subject, among other argument, Joseph Mede adduced the following: “At the birth of Christ every woman and child was to go to be taxed at the city whereto they belonged, whither some had long journeys; but the middle of winter was not fitting for such a business especially for women with child, and children to travel in. Therefore, Christ could not be born in the depth of winter…”(MEDE’S Works, 1672).
Hislop also quoted Gill as stating in his Commentary on Luke 2: 8 thus: “The first rain falls in the month Marchesvan, which answers to the latter part of our October and the former part of November…From whence it appears that Christ must be born before the middle of October, since the first rain was not yet come.” (The Two Babylons, pages 91-92).
“No date is more unlikely for the birth of Christ than the twenty-fifth of December; but it was the birthday of Mithra

THE PHYSICAL FEATURES
The physical features of Palestine in regard to the climate lend support to the view that Christ was not born in December. According to the Gospel story, there were shepherds attending their flocks in the open fields by night when Christ was born. This could not have been possible in December, because all accredited authorities agree that December, which corresponds with the Jewish ninth month, Chisleu, (Zechariah 7: 1) was usually a time of winter in Palestine when the people could not stay outside in the night owing to the intense cold. The Oxford Encyclopedic Concordance states that there: was “snow on the mountains”.
But October is the Jewish seventh month called Tisri or Ethanim. (1 Kings 8: 2) It was a time of normal weather that permitted of outdoor or outside activities. Again, the fact that the churches of Christendom observe the death of Jesus Christ (“Good Friday”) in April, confirms that his birth could not have taken place in December. Of a truth, he was killed in April, which is Nisan or Abib, the first month of the Jewish year, when the Feast of Passover or Unleavened Bread was celebrated.
We all agree that Jesus Christ lived for 33 1/2 years. Now let us admit that he was born in December as the churches teach, it will mean, therefore, that his 33rd birthday anniversary fell on December, and six months later, which was June, he died. If it was so, why then are the churches celebrating his death in April and not in June? The plain truth is that he was born in October. His 33rd birthday then fell on October, and six months later, that is, in April, he was slain.

THE date of the birth of Jesus would not have been a subject of controversy if the churches of Christendom had been consistent in telling their adherents the truth of the matter. That Christmas is a pagan festival with an unseemly Christian veneer or covering is a glaring fact of the Scripture and history.
In The Explanatory Catechism of Christian Doctrine, it is stated in answer to Questions 50 and 51, that our Saviour Jesus Christ was born at Bethlehem on Christmas Day, the 25th of December. But how the churches came about this date, no one cares to ask. The erroneous belief that the priests and catechists cannot lie makes the churchgoers accept this teaching with quiet contentment. The people therefore go all out to celebrate Christmas NOT out of a scripturally grounded faith but because they so were bred.
A true Christian does not do a thing simply because the whole world or majority esteem it highly and do it. Before he does anything, he must first of all satisfy himself that it is in accord with the will of God as revealed in the Holy Scripture. Christ himself said: “…For that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.” – Luke 16: 15.
After a diligent research into both sacred and profane history, we have no doubt in our minds that Jesus Christ was born in the month of October, and NOT in December!
We must at this stage point out that the day, month or year in which Christ was born is not positively stated chapter and verse in the Bible for the unlearned or those who do not search the Scriptures to understand. But there are scriptural records including the Bible Chronology from which we can show to those with open minds that his birth took place in October.

THE BIBLE ACCOUNT

In those days there were appointed 24 Jewish priests, the sons of Aaron, to serve in the temple in a year. Everyone officiated according to the order of his course or turn – two every month. The first priest served from the beginning of the first month called Nisan or Abib and retired at the middle of the month; and the second took over from the middle to the end of the month. The priest Abijah served in the eighth course according to 1 Chronicles 24: 1-10. The eighth course started from the middle to the end of the fourth month known as Tammuz, which, according to the Jewish Calendar, corresponds with the latter part of our June to early July. (Vide The Oxford Encyclopedic Concordance, page 197, and The Universal Bible Dictionary by Buckland & Williams, page 475.)
Zacharias, the father of John the Baptist, was a successor of Abijah. It was when he was officiating in the temple in the order of his turn – “the course of Abijah” – that an angel of God appeared to him saying that his wife, Elizabeth, would bear him a son to be named John. (Luke 1: 5-13) After the completion of Zacharias’ period of duty in early July (Tammuz), his wife became pregnant, and she hid herself for five months. – Luke 1: 23, 24.
In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s conception – Chisleu, which is our December – the angel Gabriel was sent by God to the virgin Mary and he announced to her that she would conceive and bear a son to be called JESUS. The angel added: “And behold, thy cousin, Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. For with God nothing shall be impossible.” – Luke 1: 26-31,36,37.
Consequent upon the annunciation Mary, no doubt, was in high spirits. With haste she went straight to a city in the uplands of Judah to meet Elizabeth. She stayed with her cousin about three months (i.e. from January to March) and then returned home. (Luke 1: 39-40, 56) Something dramatic occurred when Mary visited Elizabeth. As soon as she entered Zacharias’ house and greeted Elizabeth, the babe (John) stirred in her womb. The words of Elizabeth to Mary at that instance, which were motivated by the Holy Spirit, show clearly that Mary herself was already pregnant. Not only did Elizabeth bless the fruit of her womb but she went on to address her out right as “the mother of my Lord”. – Luke 1: 41-44.
According to medical authorities the span of foetal life under normal condition is 280 days, which is nine months; any time in the tenth month the child, by God’s grace, can be born. This was the case with John the Baptist. The angel appeared to Mary in the sixth month of Elizabeth’s conception and Mary went to her and stayed three months: six plus three equal nine. It was then “Elisabeth’s full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son” – obviously, in the tenth month, April. – Luke 1: 36,56-57.
Having been equipped with this knowledge, let us now count Mary’s conception from that January as was manifest in Elizabeth’s declaration, we will arrive at September as the ninth month; then in the tenth month OCTOBER, Jesus Christ was born. But on which day in October his birth took place no one can tell because there is no record

To be continued......

WibusJaga:

What Salah & other celebrities are doing in the name of celebrating Xmas is not even a Christian practice & had nothing to do with Christ. Their Xmas celebrations are more of traditional practice.
It's like condemning a Muslim for eating chicken on Xmas day.

Very correct. As a Christian, I don't celebrate that. It's unchristian to do so because it's a pagan festival.
Christ was not born on Christmas day.
