@Janosky
Open your own thread concerning (John 1:1) if you failed to explain it more better, then go look sun and get lost
2 Simple questions for you:
John 20:17 & 17:3, did Jesus agree with your claim on John 1:1?

John 20:21 & Matthew 10:40, did Jesus Christ agree with your claim on John 14:9?

Then it does not preserve its original form of texts, why should you change words in the bible, Thy, thou, sayeth, shew etc were words spoken in those times. why should you ridicule that, am sure Christ spoke that way too, must you mock him in that manner. Your bible is just a century old, broda rest.
Shuoooo !! shocked shocked

For your mind , Christ spoke "thy, thou, sayeth, thine, thee, shew" .

This is what Matt 11:25 says "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."

What is your point, Mr Janosense?
Mr LIENUS, exponent of Jesus is God Almighty, is asking what's the point of Matthew 11:25?

Bros, it is the same point Jesus made in Matthew 27:43,46 and John 20:17

Christianity EtcRe: Jehovah's Witnesses Are The Only True Follower Of Christ:::**see Proof**:: by Janosky: 11:42pm On Jan 26, 2021
Acebrain28:
The true church is not physical or an organisation. It is borne and composed of spirit and truth from God.

I studied and associated with Jehovah's witnesses for more than a year and made alot of friends. I was so devoted to the religion and exalted it above my career, interests and family. Then, Whenever i stumbled on posts/articules against Jw's, i tagged it satanic. Infact it made me more convinced i was in the right path. During this stern period my relationship with my family was so poor. Infact i wanted to leave my father's house because everyone opposed the faith. I also had this heavy burden in my heart always not to fall off jw standards. A pang of guilt feeling followed me all the time for very littly things like buying a gift on my mum's birthday, admiring a non-jw lady. However as God did it i came to realise everything spoken against the Watchtower Society has truth in it but this didn't just happen suddenly. It took prayer, time and effort on my own part for things to get clearer for me. The scales plastered on my eyes by the watchtower society through their un-ending indoctrination had to fall off first and this happened when i saw the hyprocisy and conditional interest they portay to people around them. They are imperfect but better than anyone else. You see It's a really long story on my case. However as i questioned the religion more and more i became more inclined to make numerous researches over every single bit of information/doctrine/history about the religion. However this time i did it all with an open heart and humbled attitude. As i made more and more findings and truth about the whole Jw organization matters, i soon became offically awakened. I made a big mistake by openly declearing my new convictions to the Jws i know and guess what? They all blocked me on social media! I became a dreaded apostate because i exposed The Watchtower society lies. You see Nothing spreads faster than bad news among Jws. Till today of over 100 friends i made ranging frow elders to baptized publishers both far and near during my stay with them 0% communicate with me. During my stay with them I fell in love with a sister and we had dreams with ended when i told her i can't continue with the religion. She was actually the first to learn about it and began shunning me to this day. It reallx was hard lose her but ì had to move on. My salvation and future was at stake. I can-t blame her. So you see Am not yet baptized but alreadly having my share of the shunning policy Jw practise, tell me what would have happened if i had gotten married? A freshly newly broken family by thd Watchtower society.. My point is it is a religious cult using the bible as a shield of defense against critism. Activist should focus more on helping Jw to first see some light on a subject matter and not outright arguing on doctrines with Jw's because you will hardly go anywhere with that approach. I recommend http://www.4jehovah.com to all Jw's reading this. Jehovah loves you but he won't come down from heaven to commend/condemn the Watchtower $ociety. He will only use men on earth just as he has always done in the bible. Stand neutral and Pay attention with an open heart!
Jesus Christ the servant of Jehovah was labeled a 'Belzebub', you're not the first to call Jehovah's servants any name you deem fit.
It doesn't change the fact that Jehovah knows his faithful servants.

Joshua 24:14-15, JWs will continue to worship Jehovah the God of Jesus Christ our Lord,John 20:17 .

Almighty God is a one God that manifested Himself in 3 God dimension. This is what (John 1:1) try to explain. Just as every human being has spirit, soul and body that is how God is, even though it is a wrong comparison and this what all you JW will never agree on be cause you people dont believe that human do have spirit. God said let us make man in our own image and likeness, so every human is a tripartite being.

Before creation. Almighty God expanded Himself into three dimension for the purpose of creation (John 1:1-13). There are three universe. (1) The God universe (2) The spiritual universe (3) The physical universe. The spiritual and the physical universe is in the the God universe, and God alone dwells in the God universe. Just imagine a forest that has no beginning and has no ending and a tiny plant desire to see the begining and the end, and the plant is tiny part of the forest. God being an infinity being he was able walk the earth as fully man and fully God. So every created beings, angels, cherubim can only see Him in the form of Christ. That is why Jesus said, if you have seen me, you have seen the father, for the father and I are one. No one cometh unto the father except through me.

Haventh You read the scripture ?
Holy Holy Holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was and who is to come.

Meaning: The God who walk the earth and will walk once more.

Our Lord Jesus also said that. The reason why He was known as the Son of God is because while in the form of man he was known as the son. I could go on but I am sleepy
You don't seem to know what John 1:1 tried to explain.

Do not mind them, the thought of hell make dem run nuts and have sleepless nights. No wonder they commit all forms of sins and self righteousnes knowing and blindly assured of not going to hell that fiery place. I used to have one friend like that, he will say "as a witness, if i die i prefer to still inherit this earth, the world is sweet, what do i need paradise for". Do not forget that they soothingly giggle amongst themselves that all sinners instead of going to hell will remain on earth and the just and faithful ones will be in paradise. Wow they really market good and juicy doctrines, very tempting i must say, but no its better i believe in hell, so if ever i think of committing sin, i will remember that fiery place.
Is Matthew 5:3,5 & Psalms 37:29 in your Bible?
According to Jesus Christ , where would the righteous inherit ?

Churchpreneurs & Pastorpreneurs, Otobolizers & their gullible clientele who commit iniquities that Jehovah God speaks against (in Galatians 5:19-21 & 1 Corinthians 6:9-10) will go to heaven (for your mind !)

Jehovah witnesses don't vote. They don't partake in political activity since according to them, all governments in the world are instituted by Satan; maybe they don't have Romans 13:1 in their demonic new world translation.

So they don't vote because it is satanic according to them.yet, these hypocrites own voter ID cards. They work in government institutions and report their offenders to the police.

Hypocrisy is an understatement to describe these folks. If the government is of Satan, aren't government institutions of Satan too? Arent the schools, courts, hospitals, cars, roads, internet and everything of Satan? Why then do they use all these aforementioned facilities?

Christianity EtcRe: Why God Is Not A Jehovah Witness by Janosky:
iyambz:
Why God is not a Jehovah witness

In my last post about the JWs, I pointed out some errors with their doctrines/beliefs. Some of them came after me because they are used to accusing people when you tell them the truth about what a verse says. They will say “that’s just your interpretation.” Reason for this is that they like to give a verse and interpret it also so that they can be on the attacking side. They don’t like to be on the defending side. They always change the subject whenever they are caught vulnerable.

Regardless of what the JWs uses to defend what they were taught, they usually don’t remember that what they believed in was founded upon the writings of an organization that is filled with errors, even for today. They will always prefer the watch tower rather than the Bible. Watch tower is their final authority. Their magazine even said so. Watch tower is in their hearts first. The JWs human nature is so wicked that they are going to ignore the Bible verse that you used, and they are going to reinterpret it. So I found out that the best thing is to expose what’s in their hearts first, which is the idol called “the watchtower society.” And God’s word cannot show light into a person’s heart unless they are willing to get rid of some idol in their heart according to the book of Ezekiel.

The watchtower society:
“We are acknowledged as the visible organization of Jehovah on Earth. The watchtower bible and tract society are recognized as the channel or instrument through which Jehovah and Christ Jesus gives instruction and meat in due season to the household of faith.” This is found in the watch tower magazine, April 15, 1939; page 125.

Their salvation plan:
“To receive everlasting life in the earthly paradise, we must identify that organization and serve God as part of it.” This is found in their magazine Feb 15, 1983; page 12. You remember their wicked doctrines I posted, no blood atonement because they believe that Jesus is a lesser God, and His blood does not really wash away our sins, that it was partial. No clear salvation plan, just works works works for salvation, and that’s why they are in bondage and trying to drag the simple to hell with them.

Their stand on the authority of the Bible:
1. “We should seek for dependent bible study rather that for an independent Bible.” Now you see what I said earlier, they are tied to their organization. They refuse to look at the Bible themselves. This is found in the watchtower magazine Sept 15, 1911; page 485.
2. “For this reason, the Bible cannot be properly understood without Jehovah’s visible organization in mind.” Oct 1, 1967; page 587.

Charles Russel their founder is a false prophet with all of his fake prophesies. Stay away from these people. Many of them are here trying to deceive people, and nobody does witnessing more than them. They only do the witnessing not because they love you, but because they are taught that their salvation depends on it. A true Bible believer that loves you will warn you about sin, Hell and judgements. JWs are grievous wolves, and they all quote Scriptures that is not hidden in their hearts. If you are a Bible believer, your Bible should be your final authority.
LYING dullard. grin.

Point of correction, Jehovah is the God of Jehovah's servants, including Jesus Christ.
John 20:17, Acts 3:13, is Jesus the son and servant of Jehovah the God of Abraham? Revelation 3:12, Isaiah 43:10-12, in heaven, is Jesus a servant of Jehovah?
Is Acts 15:14 and 2 Chronicle 7:14 in your Bible?
Bros, according to your Bible, who are the people called by Jehovah's name ?



"12 And Jehovah appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him,
I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for a house of sacrifice. 13 If I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; 14 if my people, who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, [/b]and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land"

He robed Himself in flesh, born of a woman, to become a substitute for our sins. He came to dwell among His creation in His name of salvation, JESUS. (Acts 4:12, 1 Timothy 3:16).

"And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins." - Matthew 1:21 KJV

"If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him." - John 14:7 KJV

Jesus came to pay the price for our sins so we could be filled with His Spirit. He told His disciples,

"I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you." - John 14:18 KJV

On the Day of Pentecost, Jesus kept His promise.

"And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance." - Acts 2:4 KJV

Peter preached that day how to be saved by Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection.

"Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." - Acts 2:38 KJV

"For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." - Acts 2:39 KJV

Jehovah’s Witnesses


News about this year’s convention of the Jehovah’s Witnesses rekindled my personal encounter with this group of Christians who are largely ridiculed by other Christian denominations because of their distinct beliefs and conduct from mainstream Christianity. The beliefs, it must be clarified, didn’t emanate from outside what is written in the Holy Bible but its interpretation. The Word of God is so deep that one needs the Holy Spirit to fathom it. Only the Holy Spirit can reveal the meanings of the Word. Let me talk about the convention.
The 2018 convention is billed to run from Friday August 3, to Sunday, December 23 in 34 locations across Nigeria, with the theme, “Be Courageous.” In the Lagos-Ogun area, the convention will begin from August 31 at the Assembly Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses along Idiroko Road, Ota; Daluwon along Mowe-Ofada Road; Lekki at Ajibona Village; and Badagry, at 5, Assembly Road, Itoga, opposite Limca bus stop.”

According to the spokesman of Jehovah’s Witnesses, George Ijeh, the convention will help attendees to face the daunting challenges individuals, families and the society at large face today with God-given courage. He said you can clearly see that people of all ages are dealing with more anxieties and fears than ever before. It takes courage to face these pressures. He explained that the three-day programme consists of 54 presentations, including talks, audio dramas, interviews and short videos. No doubt, the theme of the convention is apt for the hard times Nigerians are facing. Suicides are commonplace. One needs courage and endurance to hang on.



My encounter with members of Jehovah’s Witness in far away Japan in 1987 made a lasting impression on me. I was invited to Japan by a university to participate in a scientific conference where I was to present a commissioned research project I did for them on acid rain in Nigeria’s Niger Delta. It was a very exciting trip flying for hours to the Far East. Everything went fine. The Japanese are very friendly with visitors. You are challenged to try some exotic delicacies that form their daily menu.

As a practice, anywhere I travelled, the first thing I would ask in my hotel is where the nearest church is located where I can worship. That was the question I ask at my hotel and they directed me to a nearby Roman Catholic Church. With the map given to me, I was able to reach the parish house. I went in and saw a man whom I told that I would like to see the parish priest. He said the priest was having siesta but that he could call another priest from town for me.

Immediately, he called a priest, who happened to be a Belgian priest. Within minutes, he drove in and met me in the visitor’s sitting room. I introduced myself and told him my mission in Japan and asked if I could be assisted to stay for a while after my assignment with the university. He said no that I should return back to Nigeria as soon as I finished my assignment. He gave me a ride back to my hotel and left.

Back to the hotel, I phoned a pastor of the Baptist Mission in Tokyo, a woman, who gave me invitation prior to my departure to visit them while in Japan. She said I could come and stay in their guest house. When I finished with the university, I informed her and she agreed to wait for me at a train station. I met her at the station on arrival. The first question she asked me was whether I have enough money to take care of myself. I said yes, because I was “loaded” having been paid enough money by the university. My intention was to have some time to look around the beautiful city. She took me to the guest house where I lodged. The following Sunday, she came and picked me and we went to their Baptist church service. The people were excited to see me – the only black man in the congregation. After the church service, the pastors had a brief chat with me and advised me to return to Nigeria as soon as possible.

I left the guest house and went for a live-in with a family I contacted who have lived in Kenya and know Africa. They welcomed me well and treated me so nicely.One day, I was alone in the compound and behold two members of Jehovah’s Witnesses on evangelism were passing by. They saw me and came in to talk with me. Having been used to reading the Awake magazine and discussing the Bible with Witnesses in Nigeria, I welcomed the duo as we sat down to talk the Bible. I brought out my Bible as we discussed. We talked for a short while and they got to know who I am and my mission. The Witnesses were so friendly. They encouraged me and assured me of their support. The point is that, out of the three Christians I encountered – the priest, pastor and Witnesses, it was the Witnesses that received me and showed me true love. That registered in my psyche.



As children, we were brainwashed to mock and deride members of Jehovah’s Witnesses each time they passed or came over to our home for their trademark evangelism. Growing up from the Catholic background, Jehovah’s Witnesses were derided as Ndi ama ugha Jehovah or “Jehovah’s False Witnesses,” simply because they shared a distinct belief based on their interpretation of the Bible.

But the most interesting thing about this interesting group is that they are law abiding. Whereas Nigeria is generally a lawless society where people brazenly break the laws with impunity, hardly would you hear or come across a member of Jehovah’s Witnesses caught breaking the law as others routinely do. I have never heard of a Jehovah’s Witness involved in any of the numerous criminalities that pervade Nigeria – stealing, armed robbery, rape, adultery, bribery, corruption or driving against the traffic, ritualism, name it.

This group silently engages in their chosen careers with utmost gentleness and Christian conduct. I am not saying that Jehovah’s Witnesses are saints. Certainly, not. But I can boldly say without equivocation that if every citizen behaves like members of Jehovah’s Witnesses, there will be peace in the country. I wish the brothers and sisters a very successful and fruitful convention."

Christianity EtcRe: Why Do Christians Reject Cesarian Method Of Delivery by Janosky: 6:06pm On Jan 20, 2021
tobechi74:
Women with small pelvis and heavy foetus find it difficult to give birth freely like the isrealite women do . In normal childbirth, the head is the widest part of the baby . When the head passes through the birth carnal successfully, the body will descend fully .

. In the case of this woman, the widest part of the body of the baby is the shoulder. The head passes through the canal but the shoulder is unable to pass through the pelvis . This leads to a medical condition called shoulder drystocia.

During the first antinatal scan, the doctor observes the shape of the pelvis of the woman and recommend caesarian section as doctors are aware of the challenge this women face during vaginal birth delivery . Expecting mothers reject doctors caesarian section like it is an abomination . Sometimes doctors do not reveal this detail to the patient as patients may lack ability to understand . Morever, this may cause anxiety and frighten pregnant mother.

Pregnant mothers with counsel from the pastor who is a novice inthese issues Insist on vaginal delivery. Doctors respect her right to choose her own mode of delivery. In few cases, the foetus is not that large and the vaginal birth goes smoothly after the doctor makes a fist with the hands while pressi h the pelvis. In other cases, the baby head retards back Into cavity like a turtle. The doctor,with the aid of two midwives,take hold of mothers leg and force her knees upward towards her shoulder so as to widen pelvic inlet by means of hyper flexion. This could lead to postpartum haemorrhage (After birth bleeding) or perineal tears of the mother. It could also cause broken shoulder or other spinacord injury to the child.

This is just one of the numerous reason a doctor could opt for caesarian Birth. It is not demonic. Stop overstressing our already stressed health workers

They rumors that women who have the procedure are taking the "lazy" way out and that women who give birth naturally are "superiot" is completely false.
