You're the one worrying yourself when it is as simple as ABC.
Even if i have to relate with someone as my BROTHER it must be someone i know and had dealings with like family or business associate or fellow believer. Such ones i can discuss what is troubling me with not STRANGER like you so that's why you never qualified to be my brother.


The Samaritan made himself neighbour to the Jew they never knew each other from anywhere so he never expected it from him.
That's what Jesus meant by loving your neighbour like yourself {Mark 12:31} this means how you would have loved to be treated but when it comes to BROTHERS in faith Jesus commanded us to have love among ourselves the same kind of love he had for his disciples! John 13:34-35

I know you can't grasp the difference!

The neighbourly love is how i love myself so helping my neighbour may cost my life i have the option to walk away that's what i expected from any stranger but when it comes to my fellow believer i must be willing to die for my brother in faith just as Jesus did. John 15:12-13

Do you get it now?

Get what?
I just showed you with verbatim quotations from your JW Bible that strict interpretation means your brothers are ONLY JW! And your neighbor is NOT everybody (or Christ would have simply answered "everybody"}. Instead he gave a long parable to illustrate what neighbor meant.

That's what strict interpretation gets you. Either accept that or admit that the Bible says many things and has to be nuanced in places!

MaxInDHouse:
NEIGHBOUR is anyone living we must love them as we love ourselves. Mark 12:31

BROTHER is someone to whom we are RELATED it may be through BLOOD, through BUSINESS or through FAITH. Matthew 12:46-50

You are not related to me in any way so you're not my BROTHER but NEIGHBOUR!

He still doesn't get it.
My point is, if you'd be so strict in interpreting the Bible that other believers in Christ are NOT your brothers, then you have to also exclude your blood relatives who are not JW.

And likewise your neighbor can't be everybody. From below "neighbor" has to be limited to those who will be there for you in times of trouble - NOT everybody.

THIS IS WHO IS YOUR BROTHER!
47  So someone said to him: “Look! Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak to you.” 48  In reply he said to the one who spoke to him: “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” 49  And extending his hand toward his disciples, he said: “Look! My mother and my brothers!+ 50  For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, that one is my brother and sister and mother.”

AND THIS IS WHO IS YOUR NEIGHBOR!
29  But wanting to prove himself righteous, the man said to Jesus: “Who really is my neighbor?” 30  In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jerʹi·cho and fell victim to robbers, who stripped him, beat him, and went off, leaving him half-dead. 31  Now by coincidence a priest was going down on that road, but when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side. 32  Likewise, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the opposite side. 33  But a certain Sa·marʹi·tani traveling the road came upon him, and at seeing him, he was moved with pity. 34  So he approached him and bandaged his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them. ..
Who of these three seems to you to have made himself neighbor to the man who fell victim to the robbers?” 37  He said: “The one who acted mercifully toward him.”

LordReed:
Exactly. Which is one of the reasons why I ended the conversation with him. We start with science then he tries to include magic, well, bye then.

Not quite. Don’t necessarily end the conversation with him. Just have him implicitly admit that without miracles he's lost the argument

MaxInDHouse:
Jesus specifically said he is attached only to those RELATED to him by faith.
In the story Jesus questioned the blood relationship and gave high credence to relationship based on faith.
That shows people can be related by other means like BLOOD, BUSINESS and of course FAITH.


Here Jesus is talking about NEIGHBOUR not brother!

Can you read English? See the exact quotes below (from your JW NWT version!).

My point is, the Bible says many things. if you insist on strictness, you can't cherrypick which to be strict about!

47  So someone said to him: “Look! Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak to you.” 48  In reply he said to the one who spoke to him: “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” 49  And extending his hand toward his disciples, he said: “Look! My mother and my brothers!+ 50  For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, that one is my brother and sister and mother.”+

And here's who He says is your neighbor NOT everybody (this is your NWT version o)

29  But wanting to prove himself righteous, the man said to Jesus: “Who really is my neighbor?” 30  In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jerʹi·cho and fell victim to robbers, who stripped him, beat him, and went off, leaving him half-dead. 31  Now by coincidence a priest was going down on that road, but when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side. 32  Likewise, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the opposite side. 33  But a certain Sa·marʹi·tani traveling the road came upon him, and at seeing him, he was moved with pity. 34  So he approached him and bandaged his wounds, pouring oil...
36  Who of these three seems to you to have made himself neighborj to the man who fell victim to the robbers?” 37  He said: “The one who acted mercifully toward him.”

Dindondin:
I deserve a bottle of red wine for reading the epistle to the end.
You all must pay me for summary.
Summary:
* Problems of Nigeria dates back to colonial times cos of structure. There was a time Nigeria was shipping materials for Britain.

* Previous problems of Nigeria made recent economic decisions not to be effective

* The decisions were necessary and had hardship implications

* It's understandable if many people complained of hunger in 2024 because those decisions of 2023 was more felt that year.

* There is hope

* The man Adebayo has been around corridors of power for a long time.
That's all.

You missed the concluding and quite interesting parts:
* He doesn't wear watches because they've been made obsolete by cell phones
* He relaxes by staying home. That's his hobby

Lie from the pit of hell
Our problems can be summarized in one word:
C O R R U P T I O N !

Going to uni to study library science is where you started getting it wrong with your life. You wasted money and time for a dead cause so what do you expect.

It’s not too late, you should have joined one of the forces long ago, with a degree, you’ll start from a good position and gradually make your way up the rankings.

Yeah? How about if he gets killed by Boko Haram meanwhile?

LordReed:
Dude came to me about scientific evidence but wants to pivot. LoLz.

Of course a story can have any magical bullshìt the author wants it to have and you can't argue with it but real life ain't a fairytale with magic.

In that case you need to have an agreement about it in advance, otherwise once miracle is mentioned that's the end of any argument based on logic

Righteousness2:
ONLY GOD can do this

The GOD OF CHOSEN is so Great!!

I thought there was only one God?
maxIndhouse has God of JW!

Because i told him that several times over the years but he keeps forgetting.

LordReed, true?
That's how the argument was ended when I kept pointing out ways the Noah/arc story doesn't make scientific sense

MaxInDHouse:
So Pharisees weren't human brotherhood when Jesus called them Satan's children? John 8:44
Or Jesus was out of his mind when he said it's only his fellow believers that are his family? Matthew 12:46-50

Continue deceiving yourself.

Jesus clarified the two:
All humans are neighbours no matter where they come from but only those related to us are brothers that's why you can never ever be my brother because you and i aren't related in any way.
You can deny Jesus again after all you said his statement regarding "rumors of war" makes no sense to you!

You are repeating LIES told you again. In Matthew 12:48-50 Christ specifically said your brother is NOT who is related to you by blood.

And in the story of good Samaritan He specifically said your neighbor is NOT everybody but who comes to your aid in time of trouble.
So if you're going to be strict constructionist about the bible, start there!

Difrent:
Truly
But as a sitting President he can't, that's why he need Elon to buy it now, maybe he will buy it back after his presidency and maybe rename it trumpism

😅Trump is a certified ultra-wealthy, big-biz crook. They’re not like you and me. He'd figure out a way, maybe through his son or wife. They know all the angles!

descarado:
What kind of distorted history is this one?

He's just throwing numbers as he feels with no rhyme or rhythm

Difrent:
Elon will guide him in the right direction

The direction maybe : SELL TO ELON MUSK

More like: SELL TO TRUMP

I know Trump is truly salivating to own even a portion of TikTok, even if indirectly

Image123:
It made no sense. You said "Answersingenesis.org is not a scientific journal." i showed you that the page in reference is written by a scientist, a Ph.D Geologist. Almost everything he wrote on that particular link are geologically relevant. It's like a scientist talking on television and we discard him because what he is saying is on TV not in a journal.

Why not just tell him what you told me to end the argument - that miracles were involved and anything is possible when miracles are involved

MaxInDHouse:
For calling a liar "brother" shey?

Jesus will never address an unrepentant liar as brother! John 8:44
So if you view me as a liar while i stick to my faith that you called lie that makes you a hypocrite meaning you know i'm telling the truth but you will not accept it yet you want me to be your brother in faith!

I've said severally you are MISGUIDED, which of course goes with repeating LIES you've been fed. Doesn't make you any less member of human brotherhood, all descendants of Adam and Eve, and even more so when you profess belief in salvation through our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ

Janosky:

You are very confused indeed.
"Came/Come from" meaning Place or Source of origin of a being. In the spiritual realm Jehovah is Always the Father of Jesus,Revelation 3:14,21.
The expression "Jesus came from" indicates his origin.
Only Jehovah God his Father is Everlasting, without beginning, Psalms 90:1-3.
Gotham,
Trinity confused you.

My question to you:
Where did Jehovah God come from?



God head invented by Trinitarians is not in any Greek manuscripts or .Septuagint .
Go and verify this fact.

But how can Jehovah who was ALONE have a son? Have you ever asked yourself that? Can't you see that the "son" can only be part of Jehovah, Jehovah himself?
Your JW Bible (NWT) agrees that "in the beginning was the Word" NOT "the Word came into being or was created in the beginning". The Word pre-existed the beginning and was ALWAYS with God!

Also, your JW NWT says in Collosians 2:9 "For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body." This is your own JW doctored Bible admitting these o

MaxInDHouse:
I love the brainwashing but calling you my brother!
God forbid!

Father, forgive him, for he knows not what he's doing

The man pronounces Dangote as Dangoat!

MaxInDHouse:
How many times do i have to remind you that you're not my BROTHER but NEIGHBOUR?

They brainwashed you, my brother. All humanity are brothers, epecifically all who PROFESS belief in salvation through Christ!

Ciao!

MaxInDHouse:
It's OK just know that Jehovah's Witnesses are not on the same page with YOU PEOPLE.

Thanks for your time!

You too, my dear BROTHER, you too

Racoon:
So says a notorious criminal that a thoroughly flawed and over pampered Judicial and institutional system have allowed to be insulting the sensibility of the hardworking citizens of a country.

If there has been a sincere, responsible and accountable government, tell us why citizens wouldn't want to pay their taxes to help govt work? Hardened criminals packed themselves in govt and they are preaching hardwork. Ezigbo ara gbague gi there.

Start with if there had been a sincere, responsible and accountable government why wouldn't a person like Uzor Kalu be in jail??

MaxInDHouse:
YOU PEOPLE claims to be Christians but if you are not one of Jehovah's Witnesses we can never ever agree that you are a Christian.

Do you get it now?

So we are pleased if you people view us the same way.

Stop thinking we are on the same page with you people!

So stop asking why some people dislike JW - same reason Jews were disliked - they view others as "you people". A fellow human being who has expressed belief in Christ as their faith (even if they're not perfect, neither are you), you view him as your enemy, "you people". Anyway I don't blame you. It's all part of the brainwashing to make it almost impossible for you to leave JW and survive!

MaxInDHouse:
You are not ready to hear us out on what people say about us instead you keep repeating the accusations as if you are not reading my response. Exodus 23:1-2

Those dates are not found in any of our publications people out there speculates so i decided to find out where those dates are mentioned in publications of Jehovah's Witnesses but there is none. 1Thessalonians 5:21

So i became one of Jehovah's Witnesses after knowing that people lied against them if you are swallowing all of that without trying to find out the truth surely you've made yourself one of them. Matthew 12:46-50

That's why i said we are not on the same page with YOU PEOPLE! John 17:14-16

It is one thing to lie a little, it is quite another to be utterly shameless.😅 See below.
As for "you people", nope, you've always refered to other Christians as "you people"

puremaker7:
Most of these listed players have already disputed this claims that they slipped into poverty..

Well, "poverty" is relative. Poverty for them doesn't mean they can't eat, pay rent, and send kids to school!
If you used to have billions but now get by like the average person, you are in deep poverty

Very, very easy for this to happen.
It's almost always a curse to come into excess money while too young and inexperienced. It can destroy your life

mubarak89:
Hi NLanders.

Please what drugs can I take to grow a bit fatter?

I am too skinny and I dislike it.

Any helpful advice will be much appreciated.

Soo many people jealous you right now.
Just imagine eating anything I want, anytime I want, without consideration of gaining weight!
Wow, I can only dream!
This life no just balance

HelipsTech:
If na me get this fine pikin, dead body go surplus

HOW? How will you produce even one dead body without rotting in jail rest of your life?
Always useless, stupid bragging!

MaxInDHouse:
Is this a publication of JWs?

It's better to allow you do whatever you want at least you know now that JWs are not on the same page with you people.

I don't know. Is it? Does it matter?

Who is "you people". Sounds so un-christian

Judolisco:
hope you Sha collect your complete money?

How can people not know I was being SARCASTIC?? How is being a lobbyist a great achievement?!
There is nothing like Zenati (Nig) LTD
