Religion / Re: Is Jesus An Angel As Claimed By Jehovah Witnesses? by DappaD: 9:43am On Jul 29, 2021
You guys must be having sleepless nights, crying and wailing over what another religion chooses to believe which has absolutely nothing to do with you.

To the Witnesses, Jesus occupies the following roles:
1. The firstborn Son of God. Colossians 1:15
2. King of God’s Kingdom. Luke 1:31-33
3. Judge. John 5:22
4. Mediator. Hebrews 9:15
5. Ransomer. 1Timothy 2:6
6. Head of the Christian congregation. Ephesians 1:22
7. High Priest in the manner of Melchizedek. Psalm 110:4, Hebrews 6:20
8. Prophet in the manner of Moses. Deuteronomy 18:15, Acts 3:22
9. Leader of God’s army of angels. Matthew 16:27, Revelation 19:11-15

But to the Witnesses, he is not and will never be the Almighty God Jehovah who sent him to accomplish an assignment on earth. John 6:38
He cannot be the same as the person who told him to sit at his right hand. Psalm 110:1
Jehovah is described as the “living God”.(Jeremiah 10:10) and Jesus “the Son of the living God”. Matthew 16:16
Jehovah is described as the “Most High”(Psalm 83:18) and Jesus the “Son of the Most High”. Luke 1:32

Basically, Witnesses will continue abide by the scriptural truth, we are satisfied with it.

livingchrist:
The hebrew and the greek word for angel is malach and angelos respectively. The meaning of malach or angelos is messenger or one who is sent. It can be used to describe humans and spirits.
Angelic spirit are created for one purpose and that is to serve God, The angel sent to deliver the message of John rejected John's worship and said he is [b]a fellowservant with John and the apostles
, with this, it can be seen that Angels are fellowservants with the prophets, apostles, and in deed all Christians.
Note the angel didnt call John fellow brethren which means having same nature but rather fellowservants.
However, what does the bible say about Jesus?
There are many verses of the bible that proves who Jesus really is, but I will use the book of phillipians.
Philippians 2:7
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

We can see here that Jesus made himself of no reputation, what reputation is that? the reputation of God. God is not servant to no one he is to be worshiped and served, he is far higher and anything created or can be created. He ie the Almighty, the sovereign ruler over all and answers to no man, this is the form that Jesus had and which he put off.
Jesus making himself of no reputation means he veiled that glory which he had with the father from eternity.
Note that whatever Jesus did, he did it of his own will and initiative which itself is a character of the Almighty who does things of his own will and initiative. Any position any man is or Angels occupy did not get it of their own will but from God.
The next line in phillipians 2 ;7 was that he took the form of a servant.
After putting away his reputation as the Almighty God he took on the form of a servant, again what is the meaning of angel?
A servant so it means Jesus had to take the position of an angel meaning he was not an angel but chose to take that position.
The next line of phillipians 2;7 said Jesus was made a man interesting! Jesus became less than God after he has taken off his reputation and taken up the nature of servant, at that point he was to answer to God as a servant would to a master, it was at this point he was made a man.
This explains why Jesus said the father is greater than he is. He took the position of a servant in heaven even before being sent to this earth.
Jehovah witness error is viewing Jesus as a servant of God only and concluding that Jesus must be an angel forgetting that Jesus willingly took up that position after he has veiled his original position as Almighty God.

Whenever I see individuals pally with apostates, I usually just let them be. The same thing happened with KNOWMO.RE56, this man after digesting rubbish from apostates, now begins to look for Witnesses to argue with.

Max is a warrior. Only God knows why he is allowing him dining in your evil cult for now. But that boy will come out soon. And you will be the first casualty in his hand. He will embarrass you and your so called useless elders.
DappaD. You are evil. Yes, you are. But I am preaching the grace of Christ. You have crucified Him too many times. But His grace is still available. You better approach Golgota. You better find your way to Calvary and kneel down for forgiveness and ask for GRACE. How can you relegate Jesus to Michael? You are doomed. You are. You are evil and that hell you always threaten people who dont believe your evil agenda with, you will end up. But I am telling you...the grace in the BLOOD of Jesus is available for you. Yes, Jesus will not even look at the many times you have injured Him. He will still accept you.

Workch:
I don’t see anyone calling Plato, Archimede and Socrates gods. No one had said these guys died for everyone and if we don’t serve them, we go to hell. That’s a significant difference

My aim from the outset was to first establish whether such a man called Jesus existed before we can delve into what his teachings are. As far as I’m concerned with this thread, I haven’t mentioned anything related to the bolded words.
Religion / Re: Can Anyone Give Evidence That Jesus Ever Walked On This Planet? by DappaD: 10:37pm On Jul 28, 2021
Can you give verifiable evidence that Greek philosophers like Socrates, Plato & Archimedes walked the earth? Apart from their writings, secular records and the statues erected in their name, any other evidence they existed and not some figment of one’s imagination?

Of course, atheists will have no problem agreeing that such persons existed, due to their contributions to academia—mathematics and physics. Even some of their empty words and quotes are revered by so-called “intellectuals” in our day. Yet nobody alive today has any other proof that such persons existed other than what was written and accomplished in their name.

If we apply the same logic to this first century Jew by the name of Jesus, we find out that even the evidence in support of his existence cannot be inadmissible. Nobody alive today has seen Jesus the same way nobody has seen any of those Greek philosophers, yet what Jesus said and did is recorded in yet another ancient record which came to be known as the “New Testament”.

The wisdom in Jesus’ teachings proved to be superior to all those other false wisdom in his day, particularly from those Greek philosophers. Because unlike they, Jesus actually taught people how to resolve issues and matters that could lead to bloodshed, to improve in their interpersonal relationships with others, to be at peace with even their enemies and how to gain real happiness and satisfaction—something that none of those Greek philosophers had the real solutions to.

Even extrabiblical writers like Josephus and Tertullian wrote in favour of this man called Jesus and his followers. Although the latter went in over his head a bit, the fact remains that as long as the theories of an ancient figure proves to be working and functional—like it does with the other Greek philosophers—then it also does mean that this man called Jesus also existed since his teachings are currently beneficial to a very large extent in the lives of millions today.

Splinz:

DappaD, the last time we met, I told you to look up for the Greek word translated "church". Did you find it? What is the meaning?

Sorry other things caught my attention. The Greek word translated “church” is most Bibles is ἐκκλησίᾳ/ek·kle·siʹa; which means a body/group of persons gathered together for a particular purpose. It is accurately rendered as “congregation” in some Bibles like the ASV. See Hebrews 2:12
So the “congregation” of believers in the first century who were carrying on in the preaching and teaching work(Acts 20:20) had several names people knew them as: Christians(Acts 11:26), followers of “The Way”(Acts 19:9), even their opposers branded them as a “sect of the Nazarenes” Acts 24:5
So they weren’t nameless, that’s why I asked you the name of the church/congregation you belong to because in the first century, the congregation had names as you can see.


By the way, also last time, I was shocked by your terrible sense of reasoning, when you claimed that the truth of God's own word which I shared from the scriptures was "lifted" from JWs. That was clearly a lie against me. Is JWs the author of the Bible or the truth therein its own?
I still find it very disturbing that you could say such nonsense, honestly.

Diversion tactics. Please answer the questions.


Very good.
But whatever the name of Son of God was/is, it doesn’t matter. After all, Jesus is said to still have other names which we don’t know. Revelation 3:12, 19:12
What matters is,
who are the people who identify with this man by doing the will of God(Matthew 7:21, 1John 2:17) i.e. the ones are doing the greater works than he did, today? John 14:12

Fiscus105:

Ur extreme doctrine that forbids involvement politics and join government of any country is result u of what you are seeing now, when you are in government of any country, you form part of decisions makers and you cannot sit in round table where they will take extreme measures again ur faith.


Politics is one of the divisive tools that the ruler of this world, Satan uses to keep the vast majority of mankind under his control.
So when Jehovah’s Witnesses said they don’t want to get involved, that one is your problem? The ones who are following you to do the politics, what has been the outcome, Fiscus105?

Moreover, one cannot serve two Masters. Either a person supports one government over the other. Jehovah’s Witnesses each chose(they aren’t not forced) to support the only Kingdom-government that will completely eradicate human problems and satisfy the desire of every living thing(Psalm 145:16), this Kingdom doesn’t originate from man’s efforts(Matthew 6:10, John 18:36) and it is the only Kingdom that will overthrow all these other governments that are oppressing mankind today. Daniel 2:44

Tell me, do you think someone with that kind of knowledge would want to waste his time and energy trying to correct matters concerning mankind through politics seeing that all the forms of governments man has tried has failed? I find that absurd for a person to do that.

So please by all means continue with your politics sir, we will not interrupt neither will we cause trouble but be rest assured that wherever you find us on this earth, we are assets that people treasure because of our fine conduct. Matthew 5:16, 1Peter 2:12

Yes. It’s really shocking. People who have the highest regard for human life and are normally opposed to violence, who would not even ‘hurt a fly’ at it seems are put on par with terrorist organizations like Al Qaeda, Isis etc.

Surely, it doesn’t surprise us since our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ faced a similar situation. This man while on earth taught his disciples to always be peaceable with all sorts of men and not to retaliate when wronged. Matthew 5:9, 39

But imagine him being considered worse off than someone who was known as a robber, seditionist and a murderer ?
Surely that doesn’t make sense since this man was always opposed to violence. Matthew 26:52, John 18:11

Since that happened to our Master, we who are his slaves should not expect anything less to happen to us(Matthew 10:22-25, John 15:18-21) and in the end it proves that we are Jesus’ true disciples. Matthew 5:10-12

Religion / Russia’s Mysterious Campaign Against Jehovah’s Witnesses by DappaD: 8:56am On Jul 25, 2021
MOSCOW -- In a bright, spotless apartment in a Moscow suburb, a small circle of people sat around a table in December 2019. Bowls of candies and teapots were set out, along with salads.

The group opened the meeting with a prayer and a hymn -- most of them shy and just murmuring along, raising their voices a little above some background music played on a television showing a preacher in a suit.

The people present were Jehovah's Witnesses -- a Christian religious group first founded in the United States in the 19th century but now has an estimated 8 million followers around the world.

In many countries, such meetings would be nothing unusual. But in Russia, authorities now treat them as illegal, designating them as gatherings of "extremists."

That means attendees meet in secret. Before arriving, they check the street for police. As they meet, they know there is a risk of officers knocking at the door or even breaking it down. If they are arrested, they could face years in prison.

These are the fears Jehovah's Witnesses have lived with in Russia since the group was outlawed in the country in 2017. The Russian supreme court that year banned the religion as "extremist," and in doing so unleashed what is perhaps one of the worst but most mysterious persecution campaigns in Russia.


The estimated 175,000 adherents in Russia are now equated with members of dangerous terrorist organizations. The community has been subjected to hundreds of raids and arrests by Russian security forces and, in some places, alleged torture. Across Russia, hundreds have been charged as "extremists," and dozens have been jailed in a campaign that human rights groups have struggled to explain.

Banned under the Soviet Union and authorized in the liberal years following its collapse, the renewed persecution of Jehovah's Witnesses is seen by some as the frightening return of Soviet oppression once thought gone as well as a reflection of how security services under President Vladimir Putin are turning the clock back on dissent.

"We are talking about a group of people who are practicing their religion peacefully, who are not carrying out any violent actions, who are not interfering with public order," said Tanya Lokshina, the Human Rights Watch associate director for Europe and Central Asia.

"And those people are treated as dangerous criminals. As, quote unquote, 'extremists.'"

That’s the way forward nah. To start calling organization up and down when you know the things you’ve said don’t hold water.

Philippians 2:6
“who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped[or ‘snatched’],” NASB

Your brain cannot tell you that if Jesus was God, that Philippians 2:6 would never have been written in the first place? Emusan, that scripture completely harmonizes with Jesus’ statement at John 14:28. I don’t know how else you want to twist this. Please I’m not interested in further discussions with you. Thank you and good-bye.

Not the likes of you, thankfully.


NLT: so that everyone will honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Anyone who does not honor the Son is certainly not honoring the Father who sent him. John 5:23
You might want to claim that the word "HONOR" was used but I'll like to ask you: In what way do you honour the Father? Jesus says do the same for Him

In Emusan’s dictionary, “honor” means to worship? How else can you miscontrue that scripture LOL?
Okay, to honor your father and your mother means you’re worshiping them? Ephesians 6:2 To honor an older person with grey hair means you’re worshiping him/her? Leviticus 19:32
To honor the superior authorities mean you’re worshiping them? Romans 13:7

Please I’m begging you to stop treading down this path because the rate at which things are going, you are ever ready to see A and call it B. angry


For you even to claim "to sit on thrones that God will give them" shows you know Jesus is God because It's Jesus' throne they will sit.
And that verse made the difference clear.
NLT: Those who are victorious will sit with ME ON MY THRONE, just as I was victorious and sat with MY FATHER ON HIS THRONE.

Your God has a God? How interesting!

Revelation 3:12
“I will make those who are victorious pillars in the temple of my God, and they will never leave it. I will write on them the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which will come down out of heaven from my God. I will also write on them my new name.”

Revelation 3:21
“To the one who conquers I will give a place to sit with me on my throne, just as I have conquered and have sat down with my Father on his throne.”

Oh so your God had to conquer and be victorious first before sitting on the throne that ANOTHER person gave him?

Mr Emusan, Jesus was granted authority by someone else(Matthew 28:18) and that puts him on the level where he will delegate responsibility to others(Revelation 2:26) but remember that he was given the authority to do that in the first place! So if he has to be given authority by someone greater than he is, it means he is not God. So to me Jesus is not God, but if he is to you, keep it to yourself and leave me out of it I beg you.

Whenever i notice our teachings in any of them and observe that they're trying to play smart in knowledge i laugh the Jewish styler! grin
Because it's not really the truth that's bringing people together for pure worship, rather Jehovah is using the truth to gather His people under one umbrella {John 6:44} so allow them to go about deceiving themselves when they're not ready to come under the same Organization, the truth is each of them we be convinced that this is what JWs heard that brought them together and made them strongly attached as one big family but they'll just be surprised that it won't work the same way outside JW Organization! Luke 11:23
So watch how far they can go with what they picked from God's organization. Kumuyi thought he can win everyone by using part of it in his teachings but he's now frustrated that the more he tries the worse his followers becomes, if it's not JW Organization it can't work well like jw.org! wink


Well, he’s fully aware that he picked up that knowledge from Witnesses that’s why he can’t point to anywhere else where such knowledge is found. Okay, he said he’s associated with the “Church of the living God”, Oya where is their location and what do people know them as in their neighbourhood.

Incredible. So I was right; you've been sold a dummy, DappaD. How gullible can one be?Rather than me proving anything to you, prove that the church of God is not the pillar and ground of the truth (1 Thessalonians 5:21). For before there was anything like International Bible Students Association or JWs, there was a church (Matthew 16:18). Apparently, it appears you're averse to scriptural truths.

Of course we’re on social media so I don’t know you from anywhere but why do I feel in my guts that you are Ihedinobi3.

“Church” simply means congregation and there have always been names people knew them with in the first century like, The Way, Christians, sect of the Nazarenes. So mention the name of the church you’re associated with, you’ve gone mute.

LOL? Over the years, we’ve seen people especially clergymen lift chunks of knowledge off from our magazines to teach their church members. Kumuyi did it, Adeboye did it. Pastors used our books like “My Book of Bible Stories” in their children sunday school. So why would I be surprised if someone is using our lingua franca?

OP, I see how you’re going around trying to force scriptures to align with your reasoning. Yes, God doesn’t support the worship of any other person except him. Exodus 20:3, Romans 1:25

But please change that thinking that bowing down always means worship. In times past, God himself foretold that people would bow down to his anointed priest as a show of obeisance to him, not that they worshiped him. 1Samuel 2:36

Since that is out of the way, why did you not quote the preceding verses of that Revelation chapter 5?

Revelation 5:6,7

“Then I saw a Lamb standing in the center of the throne, surrounded by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb appeared to have been killed. It had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God that have been sent through the whole earth.
The Lamb went and took the scroll from the right hand of the One who sits on the throne.”



The question is, if the Lamb is God, who was that person sitting on the throne whom he went to take the scroll from?

Hello DappaD, good to see you friend. smiley
What are you finding strange exactly? But of course, it's no surprise. It's amusing rather. Perhaps you were lied to, that the truth is only found on the four corners of JW's kingdom halls. If that is your case, sorry you've been sold a dummy.
Of course, the church of the living God is the pillar and ground of the truth (1 Timothy 3:15). And yes, I know that I do lack in many areas according to JWs standard. But, do I care at all? Like I said, I know where the truth is domiciled.
DappaD, enjoy your convention.

Oh really? Prove me wrong that you didn’t lift that knowledge from JWs and mention this “church of the living God”?

Even as brilliant as you sound you still didn't know Jesus is not God.


Who was Jesus praying to if he is God?

Not only did he pray to someone, but he was also favourably heard . Hebrews 5:7

Favourably heard by whom biko? If Jesus was God, who was now hearing his prayer?
Moreso, I find it absurd that a God could rely on angels to strengthen him(Luke 22:42-44) if that’s the case, how can he still be said to be the Almighty? Or how can he be the source of strength(Psalm 46:1) if others are the ones strengthening him?
So it’s clear Jesus isn’t God but some just want to argue based on preconceived ideas.

So it's no more Jesus that is coming again?
Now look at this scripture:
"However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?” (Luke 8:18). Who is the Son of Man?

Where did I say it’s not Jesus who will come? Did you read my statement well?

DappaD:

Jehovah is coming to show the expressions of his power by passing judgment on all inhabitants of the earth(Jeremiah 25:31) and to establish his Kingdom over all the earth. Zechariah 14:9, Revelation 11:17


And as matters turns out, he’ll send out his firstborn Son as his representative to take the helm of affairs. Matthew 24:30, Revelation 17:14, 19:11-16


But just when Jehovah is going to come, nobody knows. Matthew 24:36


Moreover, I believe the OP knew who she was asking the question so if you’re not a JW please hush and relax.
