SHALOM!



YOU HAVE A PROBLEM COMPREHENDING THE BIBLE, BECAUSE YOU NEVER BELIEVED THE BIBLE FROM THE BEGINNING!

[color=silver].[/color] GENESIS 1:1-28.

IN The Beginning
God created the Heaven
and the Earth.
2. And the Earth was
without form, and void;
and Darkness was upon
the Face of the Deep.
And The Spirit of God
moved upon
the Face of the Waters.
3. And God Said,

"Let there be light:
and there was light."

4. And God saw the Light,
that it was Good:
and God divided the Light
from the Darkness.
5. And God called the Light Day,
and the Darkness
He called Night.
And the evening
and the morning were
the First Day.
6. And God Said,

"Let there be a Firmament
in the midst of the Waters,
and let it divide the Waters
from the Waters.

7. And God made
the Firmament,
and divided the waters
which were under
the Firmament from
the Waters which were
above the Firmament:
and it was so.
8. And God called
the Firmament Heaven.

And the evening
and the morning
were the Second Day.

9. And God Said,

"Let the waters
under the Heaven
be gathered together
unto one place,
and let the dry land appear:"

and it was so.
10. And God called
the dry land Earth;
and the gathering together
of the waters
called He Seas:
and God saw that it was Good.

11. And God Said,

"Let the Earth bring forth grass,
the herb yielding seed,
and the fruit tree yielding fruit
after his kind,
whose seed is in itself,
upon the Earth:"

and it was so.
12. And the Earth
brought forth grass,
and herb yielding seed
after his kind,
and the tree yielding fruit,
whose seed was in itself,
after his kind:
and God saw that it was Good.
13. And the evening
and the morning
were the Third Day.

14. And God Said,

"Let there be Lights
in the Firmament of the Heaven
to divide the day from the night;
and let them be for Signs,
and for Seasons,
and for days, and years:
15. "And let them be for lights
in the Firmament of the Heaven
to give light upon the Earth:"

and it was so.
16. And God made
two Great Lights;
the Greater Light
to rule the day,
and the Lesser Light
to rule the night:
He made the Stars also.
17. And God set them
in the Firmament of the Heaven
to give light upon the Earth,
18. And to rule over the day
and over the night,
and to divide the Light
from the Darkness:
and God saw that it was Good.

19. And the evening
and the morning
were the Fourth Day.

creeping thing
that creepeth upon the Earth."

20. And God Said,

"Let the waters bring forth abundantly
the moving creature that hath life,
and fowl that may fly above the Earth
in the open Firmament of Heaven."

21. And God created great whales,
and every living creature that moveth,
which the waters brought forth abundantly,
after their kind,
and every winged fowl after his kind:
and God Saw that it was Good.
22. And God Blessed them,
Saying,

"Be fruitful, and multiply,
and fill the waters in the seas,
and let fowl multiply in the Earth."

23. And the evening and the morning
were the fifth day.

24. And God Said,

"Let the Earth bring forth
the living creature after his kind,
cattle, and creeping thing,
and Beast of the Earth
after his kind:"

and it was so.
25. And God made
the Beast of the Earth
after his kind,
and cattle after their kind,
and every thing that creepeth
upon the Earth after his kind:
and God saw
that it was Good.

26. And God Said,

"Let us make Man in Our Image,
after Our Likeness:
and let them have Dominion
over the Fish of the Sea,
and over the Fowl of the Air,
and over the Cattle,
and over all the Earth,
and over every creeping thing
that creepeth upon the Earth."

27. So God created Man
in His Own Image,
in The Image of God created He him;
male and female created He them.
28. And God Blessed them,
and God Said unto them,

"Be fruitful, and multiply,
and replenish the Earth,
and subdue It:
and have Dominion
over the Fish of the Sea,
and over the Fowl of the Air,
and over every Living Thing
that moveth upon the Earth."

IF YOU HAD READ THE BIBLE FROM THE BEGINNING, YOU WOULD KNOW THAT GOD CREATES THINGS BY SPEAKING THEM INTO EXISTENCE.

[color=silver].[/color] JOHN 1:1-14.

IN The Beginning was The Word,
and The Word was with God,
and The Word was God.
2. The same was in
The Beginning with God.
3. All things were made by Him;
and without Him
was not any thing made
that was made.
4. In Him was Life;
and The Life was The Light of Men.
5. And the light shineth in Darkness;
and The Darkness
comprehended it not.

6. There was a man sent from God,
whose name was John.
7. The same came for a witness,
to bear witness of The Light,
that all men through him
might believe.
8. He was not That Light,
but was sent
to bear witness of That Light.

9. That was The True Light,
Which lighteth every man
that cometh into the World.

10. He was in the World,
and the World was made by him,
and the World knew him not.
11. He came unto his own,
and his own received him not.
12. But as many as received him,
to them gave he Power
to become the Sons of God,
even to them
that believe on his Name:
13. Which were Born,
not of blood,
nor of the Will of the Flesh,
nor of the Will of Man,
but of God.
14. And the Word was made Flesh,
and dwelt among us,
[and we beheld his Glory,
the Glory as of
the only begotten of The Father,]
full of Grace and Truth.

THERE ARE TWO GREEK TERMS THAT ARE FRAUDULENTLY TRANSLATED "WORD" IN THE ENGLISH BIBLE.

(1) LOGOS: The Recorded Word (3056). Reasoning, Motive, Computation.

(2) RHEMA: The Spoken Word (4487). Utterance, Matter, Topic.



The FACSIMILE is consistent with the New Testament term "LOGOS." In SCIENTOLOGY it means SPIRITUAL ENERGY IMAGE.

Facsimiles are the root Source of everything that Exists, and since the term "LOGOS" is the term used in JOHN 1:1-14, God is a LOGOS.

He created Heaven and Earth by duplicating Himself, and this duplicate created all other things and beings by creating modified duplicates of Himself.

Everything that Exists used to be THE LOGOS. Not just Lord Yeshua. Disciple YOCHANNAN was deliberately trying to mislead us, in telling us that Lord Yeshua was THE LOGOS.

[color=silver].[/color] MARK 8:27-30.

27. And Jesus went out,
and his Disciples,
into the towns
of Caesarea Philippi:
and by the way,
he asked his Disciples,
saying unto them,

"Whom do men say that I am?"

28. And they answered,

"John the Baptist:
but some (say), 'Elias;'
and others,
One of the Prophets.' "

29. And he Saith unto them,

"But whom saith ye that I am?"

And Peter answereth
and saith unto him,

"Thou art The Christ."

30. And he charged them
that they should
tell no man of him.

HE KNEW THAT HE WAS FORBIDDEN FROM TELLING US ABOUT LORD YESHUA'S ATTRIBUTES- LORD YESHUA DECREED THAT WE SHOULD RECEIVE THAT KNOWLEDGE DIRECTLY FROM GOD HIMSELF.

[color=silver].[/color] MATTHEW 11:25-30.

25. At that time Jesus Answered
and Said,

"I thank Thee,
O Father,
Lord of Heaven and Earth,
because thou hast
hid these things
from the wise and prudent,
and hast revealed them
unto babes.
26. "Even so, Father:
for so it seemed Good in Thy Sight.
27. "All things are delivered
unto me
of my Father:
and no man knoweth The Son,
but The Father;
neither knoweth any man The Father,
save The Son,
and he to whomsoever The Son
will reveal him.
28. "Come unto me,
all ye that labour
and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.
29. "Take my Yoke upon you,
and learn of me;
for I am meek and lowly in heart:
and ye shall find rest
unto your souls.
30. "For my Yoke is easy,
and my burden is light."

[color=silver].[/color] MATTHEW 16:20.

20. Then charged he his Disciples
that they should tell no man
that he was Jesus The Christ.

[color=silver].[/color] JOHN 6:41-45.

41. The Jews then
murmured at Him,
because he Said,

“I AM THE BREAD
WHICH CAME DOWN
FROM HEAVEN.”


42. And they said,

“Is not this Jesus,
the son of Joseph,
whose father and mother
we know?
How is it then that he Saith,

‘I CAME DOWN
FROM HEAVEN?' "


43. Jesus therefore Answered
and Said unto them,

“Murmur not among yourselves.
44. "No man can come to me
unless The Father
Who hath sent me draw him;
and I will raise him up
at The Last Day.
45. "It is written in The Prophets:

‘AND THEY SHALL BE
ALL TAUGHT BY GOD.’


Every man therefore
that hath heard
and hath learned
From The Father
cometh unto me."

ONLY GOD CAN TELL US WHO LORD YESHUA IS, AND ONLY LORD YESHUA CAN TELL US WHO GOD IS: THOSE WHO TELL YOU WHO LORD YESHUA IS ARE ALL ALWAYS DECEIVERS, WHO ONLY KNOW WHAT MEN (OR WOMEN!) HAVE TOLD THEM.

Anyone who has heard from God would want you to hear from God, also.

If someone insists that you must receive their Revelation of Lord Yeshua from them, and not from God directly, that means that God never revealed It to them, either.

[color=silver].[/color] JOHN 12:42-50.

42. Nevertheless among
the Chief Rulers also
many believed on him;
but because of the Pharisees
they did not confess him,
lest they should be
put out of the Synagogue:
43. For they loved
the praise of men
more than The Praise of God.

44. Jesus Cried and Said,

"He that believeth on me,
believeth not on me,
but on him that sent me.
45. "And he that seeth me
seeth Him that sent me.
46. "I am come a Light
into the World,
that whosoever believeth on me
should not abide in Darkness.
47. "And if any man hear my Words,
and believe not,
I judge him not:
for I came not to Judge the World,
but to save the World.
48. "He that rejecteth me,
and receiveth not my Words,
hath One that Judgeth him:
The Word that I have spoken,
The Same shall Judge him
in The Last Day.
49. "For I have not Spoken of myself;
but The Father Which sent me,
He gave me a Commandment,
what I should Say,
and what I should Speak.
50. "And I know that
His Commandment is Life Everlasting:
whatsoever I Speak therefore,
even as The Father Said unto me,
so I Speak."

ONLY LORD YESHUA'S WORDS ARE RELIABLE: THE WORDS OF NEW TESTAMENT COMMENTATORS ARE NOT RELIABLE.

[color=silver].[/color] LUKE 12:8-12.

8. "Also I Say unto you,

'WHOSOEVER SHALL
CONFESS ME
BEFORE MEN,
HIM SHALL THE SON OF MAN
ALSO CONFESS BEFORE
THE ANGELS OF GOD:
9. 'BUT HE THAT DENIETH ME
BEFORE MEN
SHALL BE DENIED BEFORE
THE ANGELS OF GOD.'


10. "And whosoever
shall speak a word
against the Son of Man,
it shall be forgiven him:
but unto him that blasphemeth
against The Holy Ghost
it shall not be forgiven.
11. "And when they bring you
unto the synagogues,
and unto magistrates,
and powers,
take ye no thought
how or what thing
ye shall answer,
or what ye shall say:
12. "For The Holy Ghost
shall Teach you
in the same hour
what ye ought to say."

DISCIPLE YOCHANNAN DID NOT WANT US TO KNOW THAT LORD YESHUA SAID THAT HE WOULD DENY ANYONE WHO DENIED HIM BEFORE GOD, AND BEFORE THE ANGELS OF GOD.

[color=silver].[/color] JOHN 6:47.

47. "Verily, verily,
I Say unto you,

'HE THAT BELIEVETH ON ME,
HATH EVERLASTING LIFE.' "


[color=silver].[/color] JOHN 14:12.

12. "Verily, verily,
I Say unto you,

'HE THAT BELIEVETH ON ME,
THE WORKS THAT I DO
SHALL HE DO ALSO;
AND GREATER WORKS
THAN THESE SHALL HE DO;
BECAUSE I GO
UNTO MY FATHER.' "


IF YOU DO NOT DO THE WORKS OF LORD YESHUA, THEN YOU DO NOT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE, EITHER!

There are five distinct steps to be negotiated, before one attains EVERLASTING LIFE.

[color=silver].[/color] THE TEN TALENTS OF POWER. (Matt. 25)

(1) TOTAL RECALL.
(2) EXTRASENSORY PERCEPTION.
(3) TELEKINESIS.
(4) TELEPORTATION.
(5) TRANSLATION.
(6-10) EVERLASTING LIFE.


These steps take at least ONE YEAR EACH to rehabilitate. The Y'sraelites were supposed to have attained all these "TALENTS" during their teenage years.

TO ONE WHO HAS EVERLASTING LIFE, EVERYTHING THAT HAS A NAME IS A DISCRETE ENTITY, WITH LIFE.

[color=silver].[/color] MATTHEW 12:22-28.

22. Then was
brought unto him
one possessed
with a Devil,
blind, and dumb:
and he healed him,
insomuch that
the blind and dumb
both spake and saw.
23. And all the people
were amazed,
and said,

"Is not this
The Son of David?"

24. But when
the Pharisees heard it,
they said,

"This fellow doth not
cast out devils,
but by Beelzebub
the Prince of the Devils."

25. And Jesus knew their thoughts,
and Said unto them,

"Every kingdom
divided against itself
is brought to desolation;
and every city or house
divided against itself
shall not stand:
26. "And if Satan
cast out Satan,
he is divided
against himself;
how shall then
his Kingdom stand?
27. "And if I by Beelzebub
cast out Devils,
by whom do your children
cast them out?
therefore they shall be
your judges.
28. "But if I cast out Devils
by the Spirit of God,
then The Kingdom of God
is come unto you."

HELL IS AN ENTITY, AND DEATH IS AN ENTITY

They can both be moved by authoritative Spiritual Commands delivered at (5) POSTULATES Level.

FIRE AND WATER ARE CONDUITS AND CONTAINMENTS FOR SPIRITUAL ENTITIES AND POWERS.

Nobody told us that anything burns in HELL nor in THE LAKE OF FIRE.

[color=silver].[/color] DEUTERONOMY 12:32.

32. What thing soever I Command you,
observe to do it:
thou shalt not add thereto,
nor diminish from it.

YOU CONFUSE YOURSELF BY ADDING THINGS TO THE BIBLE THAT THE BIBLE DID NOT DAY.

Who was burned by NEBUCHADNEZZAR'S FURNACE? Just because a thing or being is in Fire, that does not mean that they are being burned!

Stop pretending that no Christians could answer you!
This weird guy you have come again with your long replies. Do you really expect cornelboy to read this long story? huh huh I know I didn't.

1.

All of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not."

At times those appointed to take the lead may give direction that does not make sense to us. However, Jehovah blesses obedience

It still doesn't matter to us, it's the readiness to live by God's word that matters to us.

Based on your question, we both experienced a different part of him. So you'll be right to see him as good and i'll be right to see him as bad.

Now to my question. The sun gives light, right? What if you were to say that you 'personally believe' the sun doesn't give light? Does that change the truth about the sun?

MaobiCarl:
Simple Similarities and Differences between Jehovah's Witnesses and Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Days Saints Church (LDS) in Nigeria

Informations obtained from their own website and literatures respectively ( no negative intention)

1. Both claim to be Christians but all mainstream christendom disagrees

2. Both are founded in USA and by Americans. Joseph Smith founded LDS in 1820, missionary to Nigeria started in late 1970's while Charles Russell started jW foundation in 1870, missionary to Nigeria started in early 1900s having the highest population in South south Nigeria (precisely Akwaibom and Rivers state)

3. Both religions are rumored to be very wealthy meanwhile LDS is the richest church in the whole world according to forbes ( LDS has one of the most transparent financial system open to the government authorities)

4. Both are non trinatarian. (They don't accept the Trinity doctrine)

5. Both believe other mainstream Christian dominations are wrong including themselves and condemned to God's wrath.

6.Both consider evangelism and missionary work essential to their belief. In LDS your missionary is sponsored by the church, you may be sent to a different country to serve at the expense of the church.

6. LDS encourages higher education and even owns universities (one of them is the best in the world) Brigham Young University in Utah( almost free) and many Nigerians has benefited from it on scholarship . JW believes the end of world is near since 1914, so why go to university and get corrupted? therefore higher learning is prohibited ( many members ignore this admonition anyway)

7. While Jehovah's witnesses build kingdom Halls ( a simple and not so furnished chapels) for there congregations, LDS builds international standard chapels for local congregations, most has a basket ball court.

8. Both faiths are sponsored by its members wilful monetary contributions and pledges.

9. Both frown at Ex or former members. Jehovah's Witnesses go the extra mile to shun/demonize them and cut ties with their family (quoting 2 corinthians)

10. Jehovah's witnesses are instructed not to participate in politics and milltary quoting "not part of the world" meanwhile LDS participate fully in politics and milltary.

11. Both believes no other denomination will accend heaven except their's. While Jehovah's witnesses believes only 144,000 will go to heaven, LDS believes all good people will go to heaven but only the saints (LDS members) will be in the CELESTIAL HEAVEN with Jehovah and non saints will be in the TERRESTRIAL HEAVEN (like a Catholic purgatory) waiting to be baptised in an LDS temple to join the saints in the celestial... They all have Bible passages to support these ideas.

12. Both believes the Bible to be authority but interpretation of their prophets / governing body is more authority. grin grin

13. Population of Nigerians that are witnesses are upto 600,000 and LDS is less than 150,000. Dominated by Southerners especially south south Nigeria ( Akwa ibom and rivers states )

14. Headquarters facility for witnesses is situated in Benin City, Edo State while for LDS is in Aba, Abia state.


15. Witnesses are discouraged to marry non witnesses (disobedience to this rule implies that your parents, relatives and friends who are witnesses won't attend any of your marriage rites, including registry). LDS are encouraged to marry themselves but there's no outlaw or punishment if you marry outside.

16. Both LDS and witnesses has their own Hymns . Many of these Hymns are masterpieces and beautiful like "give me courage" from jw, "a child's prayer" and "do you think to pray" from LDS songbook.
You can search "Terbanacle Square" on YouTube or spotify or ask witnesses arround you to share their songs with you.. You will be amazed
Meanwhile jws are not allowed to play other gospel songs apart from theirs in the kingdom hall or their comfort as it's viewed as interfaith but LDS can play whatever they like and also uses public hymns.

17. Witnesses drink alcohol. A good number but a few of them are notorious drunkards. LDS won't take alcohol or caffeine produce

18. LDS wear uniforms. Baptized Men must wear a white shirt as it signifies holiness and "Saint". Jws don't wear wear a uniform but they imitate dress codes of their leaders in America (no beards, tie and trouser, native is also allowed as long as it reaches the knee cap).

19. Their women can wear trouser but not to their church services. They can wear modest makeup too

20. Witnesses believe that the end of the world is imminent since their beginning in 1870, LDS don't, actually they do in a way "its kinda complicated".
LDS believe you rejoin God and the saints at death in the "celestial heavens". So everyone lives a good moral life pending his own end at death.

21. Both don't encourage LGBT. In JW they see it as a sin against God, catching you in the act will lead you to be "disfellowshipped" or getting shunned. In LDS you can identify as LGBT but there are stereotypes, you're seen as a sick person(natural impairment) who will have to kill own feelings towards same sex.

22. In both organisations women are not allowed to be elders, bishops or overseers. In jws women can mount the pulpit or pray over only when there's no single qualified man. In LDS women can give testimonies, talks, sermons conduct bible study rooms and other privileges but are not made elders.

23. Both allow men and women to be missionaries.


End

Humans were created to live on earth not heaven.

Oh you know them as "CHRISTIANS"
Well that's the borrowed group name {Act 11:26} our brothers used to confuse Satan, his demons and all his human agents.
Right from the beginning till today the group name JEHOVAH calls His own worshipers is "JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES" {Isaiah 43:10-12 compare to Hebrews 12:1} Satan, demons and their human agents have profaned that borrowed name! Isaiah 65:15

So stop deceiving yourself, all faithful servants of the true God are His Witnesses the first born of our family is who everyone know as Jesus Christ! Revelations 1:5 smiley
Lol... Max max.. my favorite JW.. continue.. cheesy cheesy cheesy

pressplay411:
Jesus preached that we are all gods.
Where ever did he claim to be God?

He prayed to God before performing any miracles. He told the thief he'd be with him in his father's house. He never ever said he was God, please stop crucifying his legacy.

Jehovahs-witnesses are labeled all sorts but at least the practice only what the Bible teaches, although they tend to go overboard. Their offense is not as grievous as other Christians who mutilate the legacy of Jesus by equating him to God. It's just ludicrous.

Modified:
Jesus is indeed God. 1 Timothy 3:16, John 1:1, John 14:8-12, Isaiah 9:6
I was blind, but now I see.
grin grin What led to your change of mind?

It's normal.
When you've been fed for years with lies (which you believe to be the truth) and someone just came and tell you something entirely different, which is actually the truth, you would definitely think the person bringing another doctrine is a liar.

Though I was born believing in hell, Trinity, immortal soul, and other unscriptural teachings, I could see the pure TRUTH from the Bible via the help of the JWs.
So it's about what the Bible really say, not what you've been fed with since childhood.

Jesus, the apostles and the early churches weren't hated cos they were bad but cos they had the TRUTH.

Pls stop spreading lies about the JWs.
We believe heaven is real.
But you don't believe ALL Christians go there when they die except the 144000 talked about in the book of revelation cheesy cheesy

Sha remember that those who want to be teachers will face a stricter judgement than the average believer.. I'm just saying..

And what has all these got to do with with the reality of heaven? cheesy

My guy i've told you several times that what your God told you meant nothing to us so keep whatever your God say while we keep our own. Let your God judge us if it's truly God but if it's our own God that's the true God know now that you will PERISH! smiley
Lol... Paul wasn't a JW so I guess he has perished according to your line of reasoning.. Neither were Peter, Jacob, John, Jude, and all the writers of the Gospel accounts.. grin grin grin Max max... my favourite JW..

That's the handiwork of misinformed Churchgoers who tried to translate God's word to the best of their knowledge! smiley
Says the JW that is guilty of the same thing he is accusing the so-called churchgoers of. grin grin
