Christianity Etc › Re: Five (5) Misconceptions About Jehovah's Witnesses. by daveP(m): 12:57pm On May 31, 2020
chatinent:
(c) All rights reserved.
.
1.
Myth: Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe in heaven.
Apparently, this is not a new saying as people tend to say what they might have heard about the Witnesses not scrutinizing them whether or not they are truth.

.
Truth: Jehovah's Witnesses believe in heaven as the residence of the Creator of the Universe.
.
2. Myth: Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe in hell.
.
Truth: This is where people misunderstand themselves. Jehovah's Witnesses believe 'Hell' is the common grave of mankind. Witnesses do not believe in 'hell fire' as it is unbiblical, unless you'll show me where the original sinners -- Adam and Eve -- went to 'hell fire.'
.
3.
Myth: Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate anything.
.
Truth: If you mean holidays like birthdays, Christmas etc., of course yes. Think: what is the relevance of Santa Claus in the bible? Do they or not have pagan origins? In fact, Witnesses commemorate the Death of Jesus as Jesus asked his disciples to do.
.
4. Myth: Jehovah's Witness do not speak in tongues.
.
Truth: Well, Jehovah's Witnesses speak many languages as they come from differing lands but do not involve in the ecstatic speaking performed today by religious leaders. The first century Christians who received the gift used it to preach to people (as the early congregants were filled with people from many lands), so they spoke a language and all who heard understood. Note: To preach. Is that what is done today? Don't throw caution to the wind.

.
5. Myth: Jehovah's Witnesses do not do blood transfusions and are wicked to see their loved one die.
.
Truth: Witnesses put much faith in doing God's will. Sorry to disappoint you, they love their children and loved ones. In fact, medical practitioners agree that it is not safe either, and no guarantee of living well or surviving as no blood samples really match another. Besides, there are other non-blood media. Coming to think of it, Witnesses put faith in the resurrection. Yes, so why worry of this wicked world?
.

You obviously have a problem understanding what "do not" means.


You didnt even refute most of the claims by people. You rather reaffirmed them.

Omooba77, you sould have expanciated well instead of that brief writeup. Tjis prophecy topic is no a brief one atall. Next time sha.


True prophets also create fear



Elisha
Jeremiah
Jonah



Elisha made Hazael afraid, so sore afraid when he told him he was going to rip open women's womb and cause doom iver Israel. He couldn't believe he was such a dog. But prophecy is prophecy. He did just all that.


No matter your conviction, if it is true, it will come to pass.


That is what we use to know true and false.

You are inferring that the word of God has the good side and the bad side and the reason it is referred to as a two edged sword.


I am not a Christian, but I know you either lack knowledge of Christianity or you don't know what you are explaining.
Understand him.... There are prophecies of doom and gloom, and also proph3cies that alleviate doom and gloom, btings joy, happiness.

Christianity Etc › Re: Can A Genuine Christian Become A Billionaire? by daveP(m): 12:47pm On May 31, 2020
There exist Christian Billionaires, en masse. So the answer is Yes.



But Jesus said they will have a difficulty when it comes to Kingdom Entry.....




It will be easier of a camel to go through a needle than for a rich man to enter Heaven.



Jesus said this Himself.



And i believe many factors can cause this. Especially Pride and Arrogance, Lack of empathy, sympathy, etc, that well up over time. And also being busy to pay attention to their spiritual communion with God.
Besides, being Led by the Spirit.



Imagine the Spirit telling a Rich billionaire at the bargain table of billions worth of contract, to walk away.... Infact 9/10 of us would say its the devil speaking.



meaning, most will be sensual instead of spiritual, at that point in time.


This is the difficult.



And Serving their wealth



God vs Mammon


Its hard to choose once on this table.



Choose this day whom you'll serve.



So, overall, they exist and are very many in out world..... They abound in thousands....


But Jesus has given the "But" for tjis very Equation!!!



Happy Sunday.

You hold a very wrong perception about the Deeper Life Church then.


For your information, billionaires are much in that church from all over the world, in different branches giving unconditionally asides Offerings and Tithes to the Ministry. They dont publicize it so its not heard.

Christianity Etc › Re: What Happens To Those Who Did Evil To Fulfill The Scriptures ? by daveP(m): 12:37pm On May 31, 2020
EternalBeing:
Those of them that ask God for forgiveness went to Heaven, those that were too proud to, endup in Hell. Peter fulfilled Scripture by denying JESUS Christ, not once, not twice, but 3 solid times but was still wisely humble enough to ask his CREATOR for forgiveness. David killed another man and took his wife, but was still wisely humble enough to crumble before his MAKER and weep pleading for forgiveness.

YAHWEH our CRETAOR would always have Mercy on genuinely repent souls and gift us with eternal Life.

Falling and evil deeds does not really determine the end of Man. It is senseless foolish Pride that makes some Men too proud to crumble and weep for forgiveness before the CREATOR of Heaven and Earth that makes them end up in HellFire! Judas would have been in Heaven if he asked for forgiveness after betraying JESUS. Same Pride that made Satan to fall, made Judas Iscariot commit suicide. Many have not realized that it is Pride that leads to suicide. For you to Commit Suicide, you must have "A Whole Me!" mentality. It is a very satanic subconcious Pride that makes people commit suicide. Ok, you failed an exam, ridiculed by a situation, or grossly came short of an expectation, next thing is suiciders would weep and cry subconsciously thinking how can "A Whole Me!" bear this shame! The bitter truth is that the subsoncious mind of of suicidal person says "I am too Big to be insulted by this situation or to beg for forgiveness" Next is that he or she kills himeslef/herself, instead of humbling to plead for forgiveness and ask for another chance.

If you kill demonic Pride and imbibe Humility of JESUS Christ that made him to spend more time on His knees praying to YAHWEH than He spends in talking to men, suicide would be forever far from you. Accept JESUS Christ as your LORD and Saviour today, and pray that His HOLY SPIRIT should take permanent Control of the Source of your thoughts so that you shall discover the original glorious Purpose for which YAHWEH ALMIGHTY created you and fulfill it. God bless you!
The prayer of Jesus saved Peter. Else we all know how volatile Peter was.


I think we need to understand prophecies in this regard.


Let another take his place..... This versr in the scriptures was used to replace Judas that was already destined to not only betray Jesus but also die as a result. I believe based on this, he was destined to die. Else that makes Judas to not be the one to fit the fufillment and so a large jigsaw piece would be missing.



No matter what anyone says, prophecy must be fulfilled.


Whether Peter liked it or not, that event of denial must happen.


Whether Judas liked it or not, the guilt was going to make him fufill prophecy. He even was remorseful as Peter by throwing back the money to the Priest.



Destiny is all





The same way Israel will never be considered a Nation until they say "Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord"



That is just it.

2 sides of a coin rarely happens in football due to some reasons that makes a player most times only speak the way Balotelli speaks, which isn't always helpful.


2sides of a story, not all are equal or needed.

Baba i no downgrade chuks okay

You should know pulisic from his bvb days nah , haba , you know he is highly rated

Pulisic even struggled self this season

Make una self try dey look things from both sides

now super nerd say i dey downgrade the player, how many times you don see me downgrade naija players nah

My opinion must not go with you guys own everytime nah, haba

Yes he did well against barca and madrid,and i said pulisic has also don well against bayern and co, whats bad in that statement ?

If you can use that to judge how good is chuks, why cant i also use that to judge pulisic?

Willian is still better than chuks, take it or leave it bro

Chuks has also not done bad in laliga, but as of recently sha e no dey start all games anymore.

Go and check pulisic minutes before you talk okay,you cant just come and say he had better stats , playing for chelsea is different from playing for villareal.

Chuks has played 30 games with 4 goals and 4 assists with 1,629 minutes

Pulisic has played 26 games with 6 goals and 6 assists with just 1,576 minutes

I rest my case bro, i think you know better

I did not underate chuks , i am just trying to say pulisic has been better

But i am unbiased and its clear here

Because say na naija player no mean say i no go talk wetin i think bros okay

I get my opinion and you get yours.

And yes chuks did well against madrid and barca, no be today nah, even pulisic don do well against bayern and co before
Regardless the stats, did i just see you try undermine performance vs The el Classico teams? Nawa o.


If Mason, Greenwood, Martinelli, James have such performance now, we both know we no go hear word again o.

Guys is this a good move, since both Pedro and Willan won't be renewing their deals
If he gets ti Chelsea, and with his style of play... I hope Chelsea fans respect him and well enough. Personally, i dont like the way Chelsea fans(in Nigeria) talk off about their star players. Before they begin to say Chukwueze doesnt worth the club. Lol

Thing is Saka is still non-committal for now but the lad will always stress how Nigerian he is and how proud he is to be a Nigerian lad although born in England. We may eventually land him. Time will tell. wink
He wants to play his preferred position for Arsenal. Heard about a new deal last week or there about. Maybe he wants settlement before National calls start becoming the norm.

Recap 2014


Wait, Does the SE underrate aerial threats when attacking opponents? Imagine if Shola Ameobi wasnt in that team... Though he didnt do justice.

Civ beat Japan with 3 headed goals from almost 12crosses. Phew.


Ghana as well vs Germany...


I think most teams cant deal with such threats compared to ground attack.

Just perused through 2014 highlights, and i was weak, laughing.


Ya playing Argentina and ya catwalking inside the box as Messi is attacking?


How did Oshaniwa and Ambrose make that team sef?


Vs Bosnia, Ambrose(??) put Dzeko on but flag gave offside.


Ahmed Musa is the best winger SE had at any WC since 2002 WC appearances by Nigeria. Is this debatable?


The body language of the Argies was very underrating. They saw that match as warm up. Their disappointment at Musa's equalizers is proof enough.



Vs France, once again, the defenders are lazy and look full of fufu wraps. Do we have any defender right now that can do what Alphonso Davies did to Haaland? That speed?



Wonder how we didnt even beat that Iran sef. Chai. Seems Onazi was the only guy that came to play. I hope all these inspire Rohr to make a better show at the WC2022?



Glad we have more technical gifted defenders right now. Common offside trap o. That Osaze goal vs Bosnia, the Emenike bullying, i pictured Simon Moses doing that to his marker... But what Chukwueze will do? grin


Oshaniwa, Uchebohuh

Indaboski Pahose!!

Arsenal has 55milla ready for Osimhen... They wana snatch the deal. Meaning he's inching close to Napoli as reported earlier.

If this happens, Auba has a replacement he will play with till he leaves.
