Should we discussed this further and you won't start calling me names again and avoid discussion afterwards. If you do, I still have outstanding questions you haven't answered.

Secondly, I have seen great assumptions among you and your colleagues claiming I defend Trinity. for your record, check through all my post not just here but on Nairaland generally, and point to where I had a discussion Trinity. I have constantly mentioned to you all that my argument with you is not about Trinity for now but cases that can lead to it.

The fact that you wanted to proved a point isnt allowing you to read between the lines. Exposing your mistakes is not the same as supporting your enemies stand. You must always read details and carefully.

Do I believe in Trinity, YES. Have I ever defend or discuss it on Nairaland? You may have to check to prove me wrong. The closest thing I have ever said on trinity is that it is a concept of salvation rather than creation. That is the closest said about my stand on Trinity. This was made over 6-7 months on one Reno said..... Thread. I am definite in all I do and it can be traceable. In due time that will be discussed.

So, I may not support some opinions or have the same stand view of Trinity with those who believe in it, but I definitely believe in it both scripturally, historically and personally.

But you haven't answered what is the intent of religion, what is the intent to reveal God through Christ. is that the intent of Jehovah witness? you can just say yes or no.

Since you don't know the intent of Muslims, what makes you think your religion intent is the right one, when you haven't even explored the intent of Muslim religion.

And if you don't need to know the intent of Muslim to conclude the religion is inexistent, then why do any one need to know the intent of your religion to know it's inexistent.

We haven't even talked about the intent of Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, and even Atheism.
You're putting unnecessary pressure on hoopernikao undecided
You're the only calling hoopernikao a JW when he's obviously not one huh
Your discussion is based on authenticity of the Bible, correct? So chill and hear what hoopernikao has to say smiley

You typing too long doesn't really interest me. Try to get the message across without too much words.

So how can you believe in something and can't be able to defend it?

N/B: I'm not inciting another argument oo abeg undecided I just find it funny how you view God and Jesus as distinct beings and still view them as the same person.

Christianity reveals God and the scriptures is to help do the same via its teachings. It's primary intent is to reveal God through Christ.

So, what is your own intent now. I want your present path.
Sorry oo undecided I'm writing this in no attempt to derail from the topic on hand
But now you see God and Jesus as distinct beings? cheesy

That's because JW don't completely believe in the Bible hence Half Atheist. Things like lying is not a sin, casual sex is not a sin but offense, hell is not real, and so on.

While full Atheist don't believe in the entire Bible, get?
You completely misunderstood what Maximus69 was trying to get you to admit yourself.
Which natural law says lying is a sin?
Is it not only in the Bible you've condemned that mentions lying as a detestable thing? undecided undecided

Myer:
Be patient, I will painstakingly open a thread on this.
But let me whet your appetite with this question;

What is God's stance on Righteousness in the bible?
Genesis 15:6
“and he[Abraham] put faith in Jehovah, and He[Jehovah] counted it to him as righteousness” James, a brother and slave of Jesus Christ also made mention of this being fulfilled in James 2:23.
Thus, Jehovah said to Abraham: “...you have listened to my voice” (Genesis 22:18) and Abraham was called a friend of Jehovah because of that (Isaiah 41:8.)
So Jehovah God becomes friends with those who humbly listen to his voice and keep his commandments because they love him and want to do his will and Jehovah will count it as righteousness to such ones!

Here are the types.

Christians = Non Atheist
JW = Half Atheist
no God = full Atheist

Some jump from Christian to Atheist, some takes time so they're stuck at half Atheist.
Why do you now call people believing in a Supreme Being half atheist? Isn't it obvious you're just confused and we shouldn't take serious any word you say from this point on?

I guess I will have to open a thread for Bible contradictions cos it would only further derail this thread. Until then google is your best friend.
When you take the context of the Scriptures into consideration of where might seem to contradict, then you'll know that no where does it actually contradict
Bible writers though inspired of God (2 Peter 1:20-21) wrote from their perspectives of situations of the events. There is no way two people can relate an event the same way. One may leave out some details the other will cover.

You rushing to conclude that the Bible contradicts itself shows you have some unresolved issues as regards believing in the Bible. Because if you truly wanted to know what the Bible says, you'll stick by it and find out what it is actually being portrayed.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, brother DappaD!

You want to disturb the sleeping dog! undecided

Well let me clarify issues here.

Myer is a disguised atheist, all he wants is for all religions to agree with him that whatever they believe is based on delusion. But out of all the religions he has been dealing with, only JWs are the group that stood unshakable with their faith so he's not feeling comfortable having them around, because when others surrender to abandon their ungrounded faith, the JWs stand will make a difference and that's a defeat to Satan's craftiness! smiley
It's quite refreshing to know that all those opposing God's true worshipers in this thread have all taken and maintained one stand. Be it atheist, apostate or churchgoer. cheesy

See, we are going round in circles... Job 1:20-21


https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/361889/jewish/Reincarnation.htm
Job 1:20-21
20. At that Job got up and ripped apart his garment and cut the hair off his head; then he fell to the ground and bowed down 21. and said:
“Naked I came out of my mother’s womb,
And naked I will return.
Jehovah has given, and Jehovah has taken away.
Let the name of Jehovah continue to be praised.”

So in what way does this teach the concept of reincarnation?

Myer:
That's where comprehension and cognition comes to play. I can't teach you that.

But that the bible says one thing in a verse and contradicts it in another verse can't be denied.
I'll assume you came to this conclusion because of random opinions of others. I don't think you've actually checked whether the Bible does contradict itself or not undecided

Haaaa! embarassed embarassed embarassed
Do not think like that! undecided undecided undecided
Most of us felt the same way before joining the Organization {Luke 18:26} we thought being a JW is something impossible for us but on getting inside we discovered that there are individuals that we are even better of when talking about uprightness. 1Corinthians 6:9-11
Yet they refused to leave, trying all their effort to meet the standard. Luke 13:24
One thing i have come to learn among JWs is that the organization is like a place where bright lights are everywhere, so if your robe is dirty (spiritually speaking) you will fear coming closer {John 3:19} but if you're willing to be clean {Luke 5:12-13} nothing can stop you from coming to a place where you can see clearly the dirt in you so as to wash your robes and make it clean!

Christianity EtcRe: Do All Good People Go To Heaven? by DappaD: 6:19pm On Jun 15, 2020
DappaD:
The spirit at Ecclesiastes 12:7 represents a life-force, it is impersonal. At death, a person's thoughts perishes, i.e. the person ceases to exist(Ecclesiastes 9:5,6,10)

So speaking about man’s death, Ecclesiastes 12:7 states: “The dust [of his body] returns to the earth, just as it was, and the spirit returns to the true God who gave it.” When the spirit, or life-force, leaves the body, the body dies and returns to where it came from​—the earth.

Remember when God created the first man Adam, He[Jehovah God] “went on to form man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life and the man became a living person”(Genesis 2:7) The breath of life is an abstract term since it has no personality. And notice when Adam and Eve sinned, God said they would “...return to the ground,for out of it [they] were taken. For dust you are and to dust you will return.” (Genesis 3:19)
Did God tell them that they would keep living somewhere else as spirits? Or that they would become spirit beings in heaven? NO
He said “to dust [they] will return” and it would be like they never existed.

So coming back to Ecclesiastes 12:7, the life-force returns to where it came from​—God. (Job 34:14, 15; Psalm 36:9) This does not mean that the life-force actually travels to heaven. Rather, it means that for someone who dies, any hope of future life rests with Jehovah God. His life is in God’s hands, so to speak. Only by God’s power can the spirit, or life-force, be given back so that a person may live again.
I'll use an illustration to explain this better.

Let's say there's a man working in NEPA office and he has the power to supply electricity to your home. There there's heavy rainfall or a storm which interrupts the supply of electricity (something not caused by the NEPA man). It is only that man who has the power to still restore electricity to your home! In a sense, you've entrusted the restoration of the electricity in his hands!

The same thing with God.

God created man and gave him the breath of life or spirit, that breath does not have a personality(just like the electricity I mentioned earlier, it's an abstract term) (Genesis 2:7)

When an interruption occurs(as in this case of the NEPA man, a storm occurs), i.e. death of a person, only God has the power to fix the issue and restore that spirit(or breath of life) into a person who has died. (Isaiah 25:8, 26:19, Hosea 13:14, John 5:28,29 , Acts 24:15)

At Luke 23:46 we read “And Jesus called out with a loud voice and said ‘Father, into your hands I entrust my spirit’.When he had said this, he expired.” but did that mean he was going to heaven immediately he died? No, rather he died and entrusted his spirit into the hands of God, since he believed it was only Him who could resurrect him and then he died, remained in the grave and was resurrected on the third day as a spirit person(Mark 9:31, 1Corinthians 15:4) and it wasn't until 40days later that he returned to heaven as a spirit person. (Acts 1:3, Luke 24:50-53)
