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: 2 Likes |

MaxInDHouse: MaxInDHouse, my brother why are you stressing yourself this much? 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. He picked up the hint knowing I wouldn’t engage him in discussions and stopped mentioning me. 2Thessalonians 2:11-12 says Jehovah would let the minds of the wicked believe the lie when they strongly opposed truth, so let’s not interfere! Our aim is looking for honesthearted individuals who are rightly disposed for life, before we can ask that question in highlight. Acts 13:48 Good morning my brother. 1 Like 1 Share |

Religion / Re: Can Anyone Give Evidence That Jesus Ever Walked On This Planet? by DappaD: 10:49pm On Jul 28, 2021 |
Workch: 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. 7 Likes 3 Shares |

Splinz: 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? Diversion tactics. Please answer the questions.

Splinz: 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?

Fiscus105: 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.

What you ended your comment with is aptly covered at this lovely Bible scripture: Romans 8:37-39 “On the contrary, in all these things we are coming off completely victorious through the one who loved us. For I am convinced that neitherdeath nor life nor angels nor governments nor things now here nor things to come nor powers nor height nor depth nor any other creation will be able to separate us from God’s love that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” 28 Likes 3 Shares |

haddeylium: Weldone my brother. 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 P.S. I do hope you’re enjoying the regional convention program my brother. I’ve already picked quite a number of points I’m going to steadily work on in the field ministry. 67 Likes 10 Shares |

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.

Emusan: Not the likes of you, thankfully.
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.
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. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Splinz: 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.

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? |

chatinent: 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. 1 Like 1 Share |
