Lol The twelve apostles were Jews. The early church in Jerusalem were mainly Jews. The Jews and pharisees continue in the old covenant cos of unbelief. The old covenant is obsolete Hebrews 10:9,12 [9]Then he said, “Look, I have come to do your will.” He cancels the first covenant in order to put the second into effect.[ 12]But our High Priest offered himself to God as a single sacrifice for sins, good for all time. Then he sat down in the place of honor at God’s right hand. Kobojunkie: 1. Look, call it what yo want but the fact is the Old Covenant is an eternal Covenant/Contract between God and the children of Israel,. Meaning the only two signers to this Covenant/agreement/Contract are God and the Jews, and hence the only ones who can fulfill said Covenant are , you guessed it, God and the children of Israel - no third-parties! 
And as Jesus Christ told you there in Matthew 5 vs 17 - 19, He did not come to do away with the Law but to fulfill it. 
So, the question to answer is this, did Jesus Christ come as God to fulfill the Law or did He come as a man/Jew to fulfill that Covenant, much like other Jews would. 
2. God never promised the Israelites He would do away with the Old Covenant when the New Covenant arrived - both Contracts are everlasting and so remain binding to this day - every jew born into into world even today is born bound to the Old Covenant. 
And at that, all Jews who become of Jesus Christ retain their claim to the promise of the Old Covenant in the New Covenant - Yes, they still have claim to the long life in the land of Canaan promised by God to them in the Old Covenant. Ofcourse Gentiles in the New Covenant do not have such a promise to lay claim to..  |

Why are the idols they worship? No be Catholics de bow to statues? Can Satan promote God's Truth? What you did is more than criticizing. They are just false accusations though. Rosement: That jobless bloke, Russell was the one that brainwashed you guys. You and your father, satan can never silence me. Idol worshippers are idol worshippers, Jesus is not in support of any demonic group. You can decide not to repent but that does not give you the right to criticize the true followers of Jesus, Christians. Who do you think you are? No one will bow or submit to your lies, you are just waiting your useless time. Your useless cult group will continue to go backward. |

They first said "water boils at 100°C" but later said it's 100°C at sea level when they found out that the boiling point changes at different altitude. haybeegold: In that case a lot of things are false. Science itself is a scam. There is nothing wrong in adjusting your view about something especially when you now have a clearer understanding about something. You expect imperfect humans to be able to explain the meaning of every prophecies from the Bible at a go without any need for adjustment? Jesus even needed to adjust his followers views while he was with them. If you think that is enough reason for you to term their doctrine as false, then good luck finding the perfect one bro |

Matthew 5:17-18 [17]“Don’t misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their purpose.[18]I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not even the smallest detail of God’s law will disappear until its purpose is achieved.
The faulty old covenant served it purpose and was replaced by perfect New covenant brought by Jesus. Hence Jesus fufilled the law cos God promised the Israelites a new covenant. Kobojunkie: So essentially, you believe Jesus Christ lied when He decreed in Matthew 5 vs 17 - 20 that He did not come to do away with the Old Law?
If Jesus Christ is a liar and His Words don't hold much sway with you, then why do you bother?  |

Rosement: John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. °First, GOD called humans gods. John 10:33-36 [33]They replied, “We’re stoning you not for any good work, but for blasphemy! You, a mere man, claim to be God.” [34]Jesus replied, “It is written in your own Scriptures that God said to certain leaders of the people, ‘I say, you are gods!’[35]And you know that the Scriptures cannot be altered. So if those people who received God’s message were called ‘gods,’[36] why do you call it blasphemy when I say, ‘I am the Son of God'? After all, the Father set me apart and sent me into the world. °Second, God made Moses a 'God' unto Pharaoh Exodus 7:1 New King James Version So the LORD said to Moses: "See, I have made you as God to Pharaoh, and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet. KJV And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet *The early Bible manuscripts/ versions didn't have capitalization. Let say the verse was like this then; " in the beginning was the word, and the word was with god, and the word was god".....did capitalization change the meaning of the verse? No! If you really want to understand the word "God" in Hebrew perspective, check out this link; https://www.ancient-hebrew.org/god-yhwh/hebrew-word-for-god.htm |

Hebrews 10:9-10 [9]Then he said, “Look, I have come to do your will.” He cancels the first covenant in order to put the second into effect. [10]For God’s will was for us to be made holy by the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all time.
I shouldn't respond but go and be chewing those Hebrew verses Kobojunkie: The New Covenant does no such thing as you claim. Jesus Christ told you this Himself in Matthew 5 vs 17 - 20. The Old Covenant Law of Moses is as strong today as it was the day Moses ratified it in Deuteronomy 30 vs 15 - 20 since it is an eternal Covenant. 
Why do you have a hard time believing what Jesus Christ teaches you?  |
Christianity Etc › Re: Are Jehovah Witnesses Right About Their Belief Against Blood Transfusion? by cornelboy(op): 3:36pm On Jan 24, 2022 |
You mean the new covenant is useless cos it is a lie and renders the old covenant useless? Kobojunkie: Stop beating about! 
I already explained that every doctrine that undergoes change - rendering the former obsolete or of no value- amounts to a lie and since every doctrine and tradition of your church remains fluid, they are all of them lies.  |

JWs worship the only true God Jehovah and they serve and believe in Christ the king of God's kingdom  Rosement: Are you so ignorant?

We are good bro. I was really sincerely with what i said but it's calm. I hope we have a better discussion in the future. tctrills: Just because we don't believe the same thing doest mean you should go the way of maxindhouse. In all my argument with you, I have been honest. I have depended entirely on what was written in the bible. And I even offered to stop communication if you are uncomfortable. When your brother MaxInDHouse indicated he is uncomfortable with our communication, I stopped. Till today, he quoting me but I have remained true to me words. Whenever I see his comments to me, I try not to read them so not to get tempted to break my words. You feel you have wasted your time because I have a contrary view. Just let me know if you are getting uncomfortable with our communication and I would stop. |

Tbh the two times i have discussed with him, i would feel like i have wasted my time and what we argued on is irrelevant. I could stop responding but me self de stubborn. MaxInDHouse tctrills: As a reward for their faithfulness, Christ’s anointed brothers (BORN AGAIN CHRISTIANS) become kings and priests with him in heaven. (Rev. 20:6) All those who make up the heavenly part of God’s family (JEHOVAH, Jesus and the angels) will be eager to see the 144,000 anointed ones receive their heavenly reward. After telling about these 144,000 kings and priests, the apostle John sees something exciting, “a great crowd” who survive Armageddon. Unlike the first group, this second group is much larger and has no fixed number. (Rev. 7:9, 10) They are “dressed in white robes,” indicating that they have kept themselves “without spot” from Satan’s world and have remained loyal to God and Christ. (Jas. 1:27) They cry out that they have been saved because of what Jehovah and Jesus, the Lamb of God, have done. All the while, they are holding palm branches, which shows that they joyfully acknowledge Jesus as Jehovah’s appointed King.—Compare John 12:12, 13.
This tctrills is a liar who detests what the Bible teaches. The other time he said he's just hear to catch fun but he supports anyone speaking against God's organized worshipers saying the doctrine is silly:
And if you ask him about his own Church he will quickly dismiss the question. He ran away from me when i confronted him that the INJECTION of truth has caught up with his deceptive heart so he will continue to hunt JWs as if he has a special interest in God's word but just like Satan the devil who always behave like a snake never read to declare his intentions.  Thanks for shedding more light Sir! |

What did the bible say or reveal about those that will be in heaven? tctrills: You shouldn't believe more or less. You should only believe what the Bible says. That these men where with Jesus in Mount Zion singing. Every other thing is an addition.
If you believe only what the Bible says then we can't be having this argument because the bible didn't say it they are the only ones in heaven or not. The Bible did nothe even suggest it in any way. |

tctrills: We can both agree that no verse said anything about it. No verse said they would be the only ones or not. If we agree on this at least we have some progress Yes I agree that no verse explicitly say that only the 144000 are in heaven. But they are the only ones recorded that we see in the bible to be in heaven. And it's for a purpose. |

That's it! Don't say and ask questions bout what you don't want to know or the bible didn't talk about. It's clear. Jesus said those that will inherit the kingdom must be born and he also said the patriarchs and the prophets will be seen there. Are they born again i.e baptized by the holy spirit? But God still made it possible. He also said the pure in heart will see God, the persecuted for doing right will inherit the kingdom, the poor in spirit too will inherit the kingdom etc. The book of revelation that reveals events that will happen in the future says those that are or will be in the kingdom are 144k. What else do we need? tctrills: I don't know why there would be a need. I don't know things that have not been revealed. I only quoted And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
What has been revealed is enough for me |

Which other place in the bible or revelation mention that they are not the only ones? The 144000 are chosen from all the saints all over the world. It could be you. tctrills: If you can point me to any verse in the bible and tell me that honestly from your heart, you believe that verse is saying that only these 144000 would make heaven, I would drop my case. I may not believe you but at least i would know you are being honest.

The new Jerusalem will come to earth and God will live with his people. The will of God for earth would have been fufilled. Why is there's need for people to go to heaven again? Or don't you know earth was created as home for man in the beginning? tctrills: The city comes out of heaven to where? And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. Is it not to earth? So are we not saying the same thing? Christ would reign on earth. and the 144000 would follow him everywhere he goes. That's all the scripture says about them. It did not say only them would be in heaven. Oh am I wrong? |

tctrills: But they won't go to heaven but live on earth forever! How do you know that these won't go to heaven. Christ would rule over both heaven and earth. Is it written that those on earth cant go to heaven? Christ himself will be subjected to God. He will give the rule back to GOD his Father. God will rule everything himself. That's why we warn that Trinity is a false doctrine. Our worship should be purely to God the Father of all. 1 Corinthians 15:24-28. The Truth is one no matter what. |

cornelboy tctrills: Bro you need to read the bible from beginning to end. When this Kingdom comes to earth with Christ, they remain on earth.
Revelation 21:2-7 [2]And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. [3]I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look, God’s home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them. [4]He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.” [5]And the one sitting on the throne said, “Look, I am making everything new!” And then he said to me, “Write this down, for what I tell you is trustworthy and true.” [6]And he also said, “It is finished! I am the Alpha and the Omega—the Beginning and the End. To all who are thirsty I will give freely from the springs of the water of life. [7]All who are victorious will inherit all these blessings, and I will be their God, and they will be my children.
Go read 1 Corinthians 15:24-28. Read from versions with simpler English not KJV. |

How many people on earth do you think were virgin till death? Paul didn't marry but we are not sure if he was a virgin before conversion tctrills: Since you believe the entire bible is a figurative book, you can clearly make any verse to be what you want it to be and I can't argue with that.
