nutarious: Have followed the thread page by page, scriptural argument by scriptural argument. When it comes to debating with Jehovah Witnesses, the whole debating will be changing like a twisted cord. But as I have always noticed, when it comes to HOLY Spirit, this is beyond them. If you want to expose the minds you are debating with if it's robotic, bring the Holy Spirit topic. They have never had an answer. But yet they try their best to respond. That's robotic, it's like a coded machine, meant to do it in a particular order, if you change the order or line of duty then the machine starts misbehaving. Scripture warn us to guide our heart. Who would have believed a man can be made a robot? But yes, doctrines, false believes etc makes Men become robots. When freshboi started the Holy Spirit part I knew trouble would start for the thread. What if? Is a mysterious question that has brought change to this robotic tendencies. Paul knew Holy Spirit Peter knew him John talked about him James wrote about him Master Jesus spoke about him Infact, Paul ministry started because He was chosen to start by Holy Spirit. The Acts 13:2 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, Separate now for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them. How come in a thin 100 years ago some folks start bringing new robotic stories. My point, you don't have to always respond to questions you are not sure. Go and find out first and come back, it's a new year. Let this robotic tendencies stop among Jehovah witness. Please can you address the thread by letting us know the name of the holy spirit ? Because Jehovah's Witnesses have all agreed here that it's not a person but rather it's God's active force—means through which God accomplishes his will and purpose. 2Peter 1:21 And because of that, we have all remained in one line of thought and purpose. 1Corinthians 1:10 Meanwhile those whom you classify as “Christians” are all confused about the identity of holy spirit, they even falsely refer to it as “Holy Ghost”, some say it is Jesus that came again, some say it is God split into three. You can see the confusion amongst your fellow churchgoers. Perhaps you should see this thread if you think I don't know what I'm saying. https://www.nairaland.com/6338828/does-holy-spirit-name |

Straight from your New World Translation Acts 3:2 As they were ministering to Jehovah and fasting, the holy spirit said: “Set aside for me Barʹna·bas and Saul+ for the work to which I have called them.”+ After reading this u still think Holy Spirit is a force. Then your case is irredeemable. Who spoke in this verse, and did the speaker refer to himself as a person? Hahahaha........When arguement bout Holy Spirit comes ehn, as a JW it's just better to keep quiet, because that teaching is clearly against scripture on too many levels Holy Spirit is a person. He spoke in this verse choosing Paul and Barnabas and even set a task for them to do. A force can't do that. God was the one who spoke to Barnabas and Saul but only through the holy spirit which is God's means of communicating ideas to humans. Their utterances at that point indicate that they were inspired and commissioned to be apostles to the uncircumcised Gentiles. Compare Galatians 2:8 DappaD: In the case of 2Samuel 23:2 however, it doesn't mean that holy spirit is a person that speaks to anybody. Because according to 2Peter 1:21, faithful men of old(including David) were borne along/moved/incited by holy spirit to accomplish God's will and record prophecies. Judges 6:34, 2Samuel 23:2, Acts 1:16 |

Tcwork: Any doctrine that encourages us to stop loving others can't be right. 1 corinthians 13.8 8Charity never faileth. Even when we have fallen away God never stops loving us. The father of the prodigal son never stopped loving his son. We don't stop to show love for the purpose of religion. Our religion is love Jehovah's Witnesses are the embodiment of love. John 13:34-35, 1Peter 1:22 But 1Corinthians 13:6 says that “love doesn't rejoice at wrongdoing” (ESV Bible) So love would not be extended to somebody who has deliberately pursued a course of sin and refused to change after help has been rendered.

Tcwork: I really don't have any issue with church discipline but with the members taking it on to blocking the person on social media. If it can get that far, something is terribly wrong. Imagine if that guy was employed by a member does that mean he would loss his job? Church matters are now being taken to the work place, social media and community Its wrong. If it was a Muslim that does such we would all condemn his action. Every church is free to punish it's members according to their laws but we are now justifying the Ostracizing of a fellow human being. That means if such a person was in a community with only JW members, he would starve to death. No one would sell or buy from him. You don't need to read the Bible to know that this is wicked Sir there's no need to get emotional or to pull up the “Humanity first before religion” card . Just know that your viewpoint and that of the Bible are in sharp contrast because most people who claim they believe in God would argue that some parts of the Bible are incorrect and that's the mindset you're exhibiting now. 2John 9-11 says not even to greet such a person who has willfully violated God's standards and has also rejected help to change his thinking.

Tcwork: Wow... I think this is teaching religious intolerance. Hopefully the apostles did not mean that we ostracize our fellow human beings. Learning to show love to even the hopeless sinner i's the way of Christ. Religious intolerance has not made the world a better place Something I have come to learn is we can justify evil practice using the scriptures. There is so much good about JW but religious intolerance and exclusion cannot be right. You would do yourself a lot of good if you read 1Corinthians 5:11,6:9-10; Galatians 5:19-21 from your Bible and ask yourself if you would allow a person who practiced such vile things to be your closest companion. Jehovah's Witnesses hold to high moral standards in liaise with the Bible and if someone has come to terms with Biblical standards and later decides to break them, the overseers in the congregation will attempt to readjust him after a number of times(Galatians 6:1), if he doesn't feel sorry about the wrong he did and doesn't change his ways, the disfellowshiping arrangement comes to the fore and is usually the last resort. Tell me, if such disciplinary action isn't taken, don't you think the unrepentant wrongdoer will feel okay with what he did and that the others who are aware of his sinful conduct might think it's now okay to practice such things? Discipline is painful but in the end it yields beautiful results when the wrongdoer changes his ways after reevaluating himself. Hebrews 12:11 Also, for your information, Paul expelled unrepentant dissenters from the Christian congregation. 1Timothy 1:20 see 1Corinthians 5:5 also. |

So let's continue, I wanna read more lies Acts 5: 3Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? 4Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.” Make u no say nah my Bible so I'll quote that verse from your JW Bible 3 But Peter said: “An·a·niʹas, why has Satan emboldened you to lie+ to the holy spirit+ and secretly hold back some of the price of the field? 1) Can u lie to a river, wind or a stone?....if u can't ,why then can a force be lied to? 2) Was the Holy Spirit been lied to here also an angel ? Hahahaha!!!!!!!!!....you are indeed comical 3) So Acts 8:26 is not in your Bible or you're intentionally avoiding it? If we literally read Acts 5:1-3 as it is, it was Peter whom Ananias was lying to. Is Peter the holy spirit?  Please try and use discernment when reading the Bible. You can surely read and quote but when it comes to the accurate knowledge you're no where to be found. Peter was chosen to be an apostle(Mark 3:13-19) and God's holy spirit was poured out on him and 119 others on the day of Pentecost. Acts 2:1-4 Holy spirit was what moved Peter to give a heartfelt talk from the Hebrew Scriptures and apply them to Jesus Christ which is recorded for the most part in Acts chapter 2. So since it's evident that God's holy spirit was working on him, that's why he was able to discern that Ananias was telling lies and that would mean that Ananias was disregarding the works of holy spirit among those taking in lead in God's people at that time. Acts 2:42 see also Matthew 12:31-32 |

Try to understand the context before rushing to conclusion. Acts 8:26 In the case of 2Samuel 23:2 however, it doesn't mean that holy spirit is a person that speaks to anybody.

Why do you Jehovah witness love to twist the scripture to suite your belief ? Why do you Jehovah witness people refuse to exalt JESUS as Lord? The simple answer to my question is! You people have been deceived.
Don't be deceived, Jehovah's Witnesses recognize Jesus Christ and the role he plays in all of God's purposes. He serves in these capacities: 1. God's appointed King. Luke 1:31-33 2. Mediator of the new covenant. Luke 22:28-30, Hebrews 9:15 3. Our Ransomer. Matthew 20:28 4. Head of the congregation. Colossians 1:18 5. High Priest. Hebrews 6:20 6. The Lamb of God. John 1:29, Revelation 5:6 7. Judge. John 5:22, Acts 17:31 And several others. But he is not the Almighty God and so doesn't deserve our exclusive devotion and worship. Only Jehovah God deserves that. Exodus 6:3, Deuteronomy 4:39, Nahum 1:2 So you mean to tell me you haven't read those Bible verses yet? Later you people will say JWs changed Bible meanwhile open your own now you no gree.

It seems DappaD said something similar about this Matthew 28:19, I will do a research on that.
MuttleyLaff - "No one knows the personal name of the holy spirit". MuttleyLaff, that might be right, but I need to ask - Do you believe He/it has a name? Spot on. It might not be his personal name, sure. Bringing it to our reality I can say - No one knows God's FIRST NAME, but He has given YHWH as his middle/other names. God himself said - Yahweh is my name. Hmmmmmm I guess you're mistaking me for someone else or you didn't grasp what I said. Jesus’ words at Matthew 28:19-20 corresponds with his parting words to his disciples at Acts 1:8 so the “name” recorded at Matthew 28:19 is actually what Jesus said but it can't be restricted to just that meaning only. Matthew 28:19-20 appears in the original Greek text—it wasn't spuriously added. |

How does In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit Correspond To God of Abram, Isaac and Jacob Is God the name of Abram, Isaac and Jacob. ? Do u just like to mumble up nonsense from your head. Being baptized in the "name" of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit is a way of affirming the oneness that was in Peter's mind as he spoke of Jesus in Acts 4:12 and said: "There is no other name" by which we "must be saved." Does it seem rational to say that Yahweh expresses Himself in three separate persons, yet exists as one single entity? No, it doesn't seem rational to us human beings . . . but then the creation of an entire universe from nothing doesn't seem rational to human beings either. So u better believe it because the scripture speaks about it.
For the records the Holy Spirit is a being and not a force When Matthew 28:19 said “in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the holy spirit”, your problem arises when you assume they're all the same person because they're used in one sentence.

John 5:18, NIV: "For this reason they tried all the more to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God." ... For he not only broke the Sabbath, he called God his Father, thereby making himself equal with God." Liar Janosky says no man is equal with God. But Jesus claimed equality in John 5:18 @ bolded. Who would u rather believe Lying JW or the Bible No be me talk am o, nah I'm dey for bible Oh, so na duality and dual nature now? No more trinity? What happened to the Holy Ghost biko?  |

shadeyinka: Anyone who claims an angel died as atonement for their sin despite the clear scripture Heb 1:13-14: "But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool? Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?" is living in a world of self delusion and most certainly demonized. For there are doctrines of demons flying around. So, you see WHY those who turn blind eyes at the scriptures cannot be of the same family of the sons of God. It's not about denomination, it's about holding up the centrality of Christ. If Christ isn't the true God, then certainly he must be a false god. Exo 23:13: "And in all things that I have said to you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of your mouth." And yet, you would call Moses a literal god and Jesus another god. It wouldn't even cross your darkens minds that Moses being a god unto Pharaoh is a figurative expression. No! It doesn't serve your other lies! Anyways, you see why your first question where you insinuate me using double standards doesn't hold water. I rest my case. Hebrews 1:9 NET Bible “You love justice and hate evil. For this reason God, your God has nointed you with the oil of joy, elevating you above your companions.” International Standard Version “You love justice and hate wickedness. That is why God, even your God, has anointed you rather than your companions with the oil of gladness.” Darby Bible “Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness; therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy companions.” Please who are the companions of Jesus? Hebrews 1:4,13 answers this to be the angels. Why do we say so? Because Jesus is God's firstborn Son(Colossians 1:15-16) while the angels are his other sons who do his will(Psalm 103:20, Hebrews 1:14) So I'm certain that Hebrews 1:9 should be able to clear up the confusion because that place said that Jesus was elevated to a higher position above his peers/companions[the angels] . See Philippians 2:9-11 also. |
