achorladey:
Let me help you rephrase the question, What do you acknowledge Jesus as, Personal Lord and Saviour or just a good teacher? Oga find answer to the question I asked.

@bold, I will reply to that as well,
Jesus is certinally my personal Lord and Saviour, He is the Saviour of the world,
unfortunately much of the world deny Him, don't they acholadey.

He is much more than just a good teacher, He is the Word from Eternity.

But for you, the voices of fallen angels talking through your elders override God's inspired word.

There are many verses that say and show that Jesus Christ is Lord and Saviour,
and you acholadey don't believe any of them, and cannot say, "Jesus is my Lord and Saviour".



@underline, I have been looking through your posts to see what it is you keep going on about,
that hasn't been answered, it must be this below, which you have asked similar to others.

achorladey:
1 John 4:14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. Who will you call the person that sent the Saviour of the world?

I call Him Father.
You seem to think because Father sent Son, that Son is not what that very same verse that you posted clearly say's He is:
"the Saviour of the world". Ha ha

You so blind, not believing God's word does that and more.

2Co_4:4  In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

OLAADEGBU:
"And Thomas answered and said unto Him, My Lord and my God!" (John 20:28).

Amen!

Yes many verses show that Jesus is God,
some more:

Only God can forgive sins:
Luk_7:48  And he(Jesus) said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.




Heb 1:8 But unto the Son he(Father) saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.



Mar_12:29  And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord

1Jn 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

Joh 10:30 I and my Father are one.




Mat 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Act 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.






Tit 3:4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,

Tit 3:6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;







Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Joh 1:3 All things were made by him(Jesus); and without him(Jesus) was not any thing made that was made.

OLAADEGBU:
Is it not evident that you find it difficult to confess Jesus as your own personal Lord and Saviour?



Why e dey hook you for mouth to call Jesus Christ your personal Lord and Saviour? Check out that spirit that is preventing you it might as well be the antichrist spirit.

A Christian loves to say, as did the inspired Bible writers, that Jesus is Lord and Saviour,
antichrist acholadey is avoiding saying that Jesus is Lord and Saviour, and he is denying the Lord Jesus and denying God's inspired word which says it many times.

Mat_10:33  But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

OLAADEGBU:
See the reason they couldn't or wouldn't acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord and Master in the verse below:

"Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost"(1 Corinthians 12:3).

Luk_2:11  For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

Php_3:20  For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

Tit_1:4  To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.

2Pe_1:11  For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

2Pe_2:20  For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

2Pe_3:2  That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:

2Pe_3:18  But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.


Yes, the jehovahs wittnesses sect cannot say: "Jesus Christ is my Lord and Saviour"

which shows yet again them being antichrists.

Aizenosa:
Please educate yourself I don't have the time to go bickering back and forth with you.

Please read Matt 27:56, mark 15:40, John 19:25
Lastly, check this out orthodoxchristian.info/pages/Brothers.htm

Lastly why then did Jesus entrust his mother to someone else when you say she has other children. it's quite funny how you lot reason.

@red, ha, a fool shouts out his folly

@black bold, There were three Mary's mentioned at the cross, Mary the mother of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the sister of Jesus Mother:

Joh 19:25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.

Mary, the sister of Jesus Mother, has two children named the same as two of Jesus brothers (James and Joses):

Mat 27:56 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children.

Mary, the mother of James and Joses there, is Jesus Aunt, Jesus also had two other brothers besides His brothers James and Joses, named Simon and Judas:

Mat 13:55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?

Mat 13:56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?
^^^
Truly Jesus had Brothers and Sisters, some who were not brethren - followers - believers.

rc say they are Jesus brethren - followers,
did He only have four male followers, James, Joses, Simon and Judas, Matthew 13:55
ridiculous of course.


Mark tells us that Mary, Jesus aunt, also has a daughter named Salome,
but he doesn't mention Joses.
Matthew mentions James and Joses but not Salome,
these things confuse an indifferent person.

Mar_16:1  And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.



@underline, quote from site: "We do not worship Icons, but we do venerate them. That means we show special respect for the Icons. We do this because the Icons are a way of joining us to the goodness and holiness of God and His Saints".

icons join you closer to the goodness and holiness of God and His saints, ha ha

You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. You shall not worship them or serve them." Exodus 20:4-5
1Jn_5:21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.

you can call them icons and think they are something other than idols,
but God's word calls those statues etc. idols, if you believed God's word,
they are not to be worshiped or served, but your article say's that rc's kiss them,

of course you don't believe those Bible verses, but those of God's faith who are reading this will.

@blue, for one thing John was there with her, comforting her,
don't look for reasons to not believe the scriptures,
although that's what your indifference to the Bible will keep you doing - not believing.

also not all Jesus brothers believed in Him:

Joh 7:5  For neither did his brethren believe in him. 

that is talking about Jesus brothers not believing in Him, and is not talking about His brethren - Apostles and disciples not believing in him, if His brethren - Apostles and didciples didn't believe in Him, they would not be his brethren - Apostles and disciples.

@blue bold, How many "lastly" are there?

Besides the rcc going against the Bible in teaching the rosary and having statues of mary in their buildings etc.,
here is another falsehood of the rcc:

Bishops must be Married.

FACT: In 1079 AD celibacy was first enforced for priests and bishops by Pope Gregory VII. Before this time, they were permitted to marry.

Question #1: Does the Bible teach that a bishop (overseer) must be married AND ALSO have children as one of the conditions of being qualified to be a bishop?

Answer: "A bishop, then, must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, prudent, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not addicted to wine or pugnacious, but gentle, peaceable, free from the love of money. He must be one who manages his own household well, keeping his children under control with all dignity (but if a man does not know how to manage his own household, how will he take care of the church of God?)" 1 Timothy 3:2-5

Question #2: In the very next chapter of the Bible after bishops are told they must be married with children, does the Holy Spirit warn that "forbidding to marry" is a "doctrine of demons"?

Answer: "But the Holy Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron, men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth." 1 Timothy 4:1-3



Peter was married

FACT: Most Catholics believe that Apostle Peter was the first Pope and was not married. As one Roman Catholic leader said, "if Peter had a wife when he first met Jesus, he got rid of her quick!"

Question #1: Did Peter have a wife?

Answer: "Now Simon's mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever; and immediately they spoke to Jesus about her." Mark 1:30

Question #2: Did Paul say all the apostles including Peter had a right to be married?

Answer: "Do we not have a right to take along a believing wife, even as the rest of the apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?" 1 Corinthians 9:5

There are many more, but they are a bit of topic for this thread,
you can read more about how the rcc contradict the Bible here:
Overview of how Catholic faith contradicts the Bible

Aizenosa:
I am indifferent to the Bible verses, I have seen them again and again and yet again.

But now my question to you is that do you understand what those Bible verses are about or is the Bible a story book you just read.

You are indifferent - you have no particular interest in the Bible,
no wonder you believe whatever your church teaches you.

Yes I do understand those Bible verses, they are plain and straight forward (silly question),
and I know that men of indifference twist those scriptures to try and have them say something else.

Aizenosa:
Bros, are you done. Next please.

Is it the Bible verses that you don't like?

FACT: Roman Catholics are taught the virgin Mary never had sex after Jesus was born and that Jesus had no brothers and sisters. The Pope teaches that Mary is the mediator between God and man. Catholics also engage in more praising of Mary than Jesus Christ himself and actually pray to her to have their prayers answered. Rosary Beads graphically represent how Roman Catholics heap 10 times more praise upon Mary than God himself. Of the 59 total beads of the Rosary, 53 beads are "Hail Marys", but only 6 beads are "Our Father". The Rosary most often ends with a "Hail, Holy Queen" prayer to Mary, not God.


Question #1: Did Jesus have brothers and sisters from the womb of Mary?

Answer: Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not His mother called Mary, and His brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? "And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this man get all these things? Matthew 13:55-56


Question #2: Did Joseph begin normal sexual relations with his wife after Jesus was born?

Answer: And Joseph awoke from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took Mary as his wife, but kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he called His name Jesus. Matthew 1:24-25


Question #3: The Bible says there is only one mediator between God and man. Is mary that one mediator?

Answer: For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. 1 Timothy 2:5


Question #4: Catholics engage in endless praise of Mary. When a woman praised Jesus' mother to his face, did Jesus commend encourage this woman to continue praising Mary?

Answer: "While Jesus was saying these things, one of the women in the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, Blessed is the womb that bore You and the breasts at which You nursed." But He said, "On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it."" Luke 11:27-28

Click here for proof Mary had other children.
http://www.bible.ca/cath-mary-had-many-children.htm

Roman catholic church goes against God's word,
just a few:

rcc have their priests called father.
Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. Matthew 23:9

rcc teach to pray ten times to Mary and then say a prayer once to Father God, repeating this pattern over and over again.
And when you are praying, do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they suppose that they will be heard for their many words. Matthew 6:7


rcc buildings have many paintings and statues of saints.
You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. You shall not worship them or serve them." Exodus 20:4-5
1Jn_5:21  Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
^^^
Mary is an idol to rcc, putting her before Jesus and Father, 10x1 in prayer.

One from me.
rcc have alters of polished stone(usually Marble).
Exo 20:25  And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.

achorladey:
Are you done? Thanks for not answering my questions. The needed information I need I have it already. You can seat on your judgement throne na your palaver be that. Keep at it. It's good for you to have that as consolation.

You still running away from the issue.
I have rightly shown you to be an antichrist according to scriptures and your denial of them,
and even after I posted the scriptures more than once, you are still unable to say "Jesus is Lord and Saviour" and "Jesus is Lord and Master" etc.


2Pe_1:11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Jesus said: Joh_13:13 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.

Act_4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

1Jn 4:14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.


You achorladey still deny the Lord:
1Jn_2:23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.

Your destiny remains the same:
Rev_20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.




Mat 10:32  Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. 
Mat 10:33  But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
^^^
You achorladey and other phony jw's and atheists etc. have denied Jesus before men, at these forums alone.
Jesus denies you all before His Father.

achorladey:
Yet Jesus, your personal Lord and Saviour had to be given power/authority to do things. Matthew 28:18

Such hate and mocking of the fact that Jesus Christ is a Christian's personal Lord and Saviour.

Jud_1:18  How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
Jud 1:19  These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. 


Jesus Christ is certinally my personal Lord and Saviour,
it was He who died to save me:

1Co_15:3  For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

Joh_3:17  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

Act_15:11  But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.
^^^
We are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ,
God's word says that Jesus is Lord and Saviour,
you acholadey cannot and will not say Jesus is Lord and Saviour,
you achorladey deny the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

you achorladey who denies the Son has not the Father also 1Jn_2:23

achorladey:
Simple question, is Jesus your Lord and Personal Saviour? According to Johnw74, his response: YES. Who will Johnw74 call the PROVIDER of the lamb(Jesus) who takes the sins of the whole world away? Let me help you My Lords and personals Saviours. Don't forget your friend said there are 3 persons. Cross check before responding. Please don't put yourself in judgement seat 1 John 4:14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. Who will you call the person that sent the Saviour of the world? Don't forget someone asked, how many Saviour do I have.

@bold
You got something right, yes I believe God's word the Bible which says that Jesus Christ is Lord and Saviour,
You don't believe those verses in God's inspired word, you continue to deny the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and deny God's word.

@underline
You are still changing the issue and running away from the fact that Jesus Christ is Lord and Saviour

duh, John testified that Father sent His Son to be Saviour of the world,
and you still don't believe contrary to what that verse says, that Jesus Christ is Saviour of the world.
1Jn 4:14  And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. 

Father and son are Saviour because Father and Son is God(John1:1 and plenty more) you probably believe Father is Saviour, but you don't believe Jesus is, you pick and choose which Bible verses you will believe.
It was Jesus who died to save the world, but you achorladey deny Jesus is Saviour,
you deny both the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ who died for the sins of the world, and you deny God's word which says so.



You achorladey cannot call Jesus Lord and Saviour:
2Pe_1:11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ.
^^^
God's Kingdom is the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ,
you achorladey probably think they are two different kingdoms,
just as you think almighty God and mighty God are two diffrent god's, duh,

You achorladey cannot call Jesus Lord and master:
Jesus said: Joh_13:13 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.



Jesus certainly is Saviour:
Act_4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

These following Bible verses are directed at you antichrists who deny the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ:

1Jn_2:23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.

Rev_20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
^^^
The everlasting Lake of Fire is the everlasting kingdom that you are going to,
with satan your king, still.

OLAADEGBU:
Is Jesus Christ your Lord and Master?

Joh_13:13 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.

achorladey you couldn't - wouldn't acknowledge to OLAADEGBU that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Master

this is what God's word says about you:
1Jn_2:23  Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.

achorladey:
I know your hands are not too tired to type who is the provider of the lamb that takes the sin of the world away. If you can do that then you have the answer to your question. Oga Lake of fire means death, do well to quote related verses. Please that lake of fire, you are in no position to determine who goes there, allow your Lord and personal Saviour to decide that. Don't be in a hurry to do so. Save your self the trouble or trying to place who goes into lake of fire. Note of caution your personal Lord and Saviour wants repentance not condemnation, don't be in rush.

@bold
I didn't ask a question, you very confused
I'm showing you that Jesus Christ is Lord and Saviour,
He is not your Lord and Saviour though, you have made that very clear.

@underline
How you love to steer away from the issue that Jesus is Lord and Saviour.
You don't believe these Bible verses:

2Pe_1:11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
2Pe_2:20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
2Pe_3:2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
2Pe_3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.


Truly, this is the fate of those who don't have Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour:
Rev_20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.


Act_4:12  Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

see that achorladey, there is only salvation in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ,
that makes salvation impossible for you and all false jw's who don't accept Him as your Lord and Saviour.

achorladey:
John 1:14 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. 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
Who provided the Lamb. What will you call him, PERSONALS LORD AND SAVIOURS. #PERSONAL#.

You such a confused one and play with words to avoid and deny the truth.

Yes of course Jesus is my personal Lord and Saviour,
He certinally is the Lord and Saviour of this person - me,
and he is the Lord and saviour of all Christians.

That leaves you and all false jw out.


2Pe_1:11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
2Pe_2:20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
2Pe_3:2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
2Pe_3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

Obviously Jesus Christ is not your Lord and Saviour,
and you don't believe the Bible verses that say Jesus is Lord and saviour.

bad for you, what can be your end?

Rev_20:15  And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

achorladey:
Yet Jesus, your personal Lord and Saviour had to be given power/authority to do things. Matthew 28:18

Question: "What does it mean to accept Jesus as your personal Savior?"

Answer: Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior? To properly understand this question, you must first understand the terms “Jesus Christ,” “personal,” and “Savior.”

Who is Jesus Christ? Many people will acknowledge Jesus Christ as a good man, a great teacher, or even a prophet of God. These things are definitely true of Jesus, but they do not fully define who He truly is. The Bible tells us that Jesus is God in the flesh, God in human form (see John 1:1, 14). God came to earth to teach us, heal us, correct us, forgive us—and die for us! Jesus Christ is God, the Creator, the sovereign Lord. Have you accepted this Jesus?

What is a Savior, and why do we need a Savior? The Bible tells us that we have all sinned; we have all committed evil acts (Romans 3:10-18). As a result of our sin, we deserve God's anger and judgment. The only just punishment for sins committed against an infinite and eternal God is an infinite punishment (Romans 6:23; Revelation 20:11-15). That is why we need a Savior!

Jesus Christ came to earth and died in our place. Jesus' death was an infinite payment for our sins (2 Corinthians 5:21). Jesus died to pay the penalty for our sins (Romans 5:8. Jesus paid the price so that we would not have to. Jesus' resurrection from the dead proved that His death was sufficient to pay the penalty for our sins. That is why Jesus is the one and only Savior (John 14:6; Acts 4:12)! Are you trusting in Jesus as your Savior?

Is Jesus your “personal” Savior? Many people view Christianity as attending church, performing rituals, and/or not committing certain sins. That is not Christianity. True Christianity is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Accepting Jesus as your personal Savior means placing your own personal faith and trust in Him. No one is saved by the faith of others. No one is forgiven by doing certain deeds. The only way to be saved is to personally accept Jesus as your Savior, trusting in His death as the payment for your sins and His resurrection as your guarantee of eternal life (John 3:16). Is Jesus personally your Savior?

achorladey:
Yet Jesus, your personal Lord and Saviour had to be given power/authority to do things. Matthew 28:18

@bold
By that, Jesus is obviously not your Lord and Saviour,
but we already know that about the jw sect.

However Jesus Christ is Lord and Saviour of all Christians.

2Pe_1:11  For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
2Pe_2:20  For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
2Pe_3:2  That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
2Pe_3:18  But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

And of course those who don't call Jesus their Lord and Saviour,
don't have entry into His everlasting Kingdom. 2Pe_1:11 above.

Act 4:12  Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Many have had thoughts of doing something wrong,
and then thoughts of: no, don't do it, come into our mind,
that is God - the Holy Spirit speaking to us.

God is a Spirit, a mind,
our spirit is our mind, it is not part of our physical body like the brain is,
we talk - pray to God in our mind - spirit, and God talks to us the same way,
not usually out loud but by thought.


Psa 51:10  Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 

Rom 12:2  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Many Christians feel guilty just for drinking beer/alcohol in Nigeria, while they drink all such in the West without their conscience pricking them. I totally agree that it's environment. Which leads one to the inevitable conclusion, that the conscience cannot be the voice of God.

God can speak to us through our conscience - our mind.

Php_2:5  Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

Rom 8:16  The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

Spirit and mind are similar and connected,
Christians pray to God in the quiteness of their mind, and hear from God in the same way,
not out loud, but in thought.

Hairyrapunzel:
Through out the whole chapter no mention of salvation by joining only one organisation was made.
Still no passage to prove your claim as usual run and hide if you don't have an answer

yea, run and hide from truth, he the one

JMAN05:
Sorry, u failed the test. Enjoy ur condition.

Ha ha, phony man o, so weak a reply, something close to the truth has stung you o

"false prophets and their destruction"
"you people have predicted"
"it's new light"

Hairyrapunzel:
Oga since all scripture is inspired tell me where they said in the bible where you will survive armageddon only if you pay allegiance to watchtower organisation.

It was Peters own words another person will still have another view. in Moses words noah neither preached nor warned people of any impending destruction.
The bible never said that noahs ark and the Word organisation are synonymous.
Abeg all this to avoid stating the passage where God said he will destroy the world except people join an organisation.

Peter was talking about false prophets and their destruction . I am aware that since 1879 you people have predicted the end of the world numerous times falsely and you change doctrine saying it's new light that's what false prophets do.

Where did the bible say we should join an organisation to be saved? Abi your organisation assumes they are Noahs ark?
I hold on to Jesus Christ’s own words in John 3:16. You show me where Jesus said we should follow and belive in an organisation and we will be saved.

The only true religion knows that the word is God,
so that leaves out the so called jehovahs witnesses.

Jesus said He is "Alpha and Omega", John added "the Almighty" 

Rev 1:9  I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. 
Rev 1:10  I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, 
Rev 1:11  Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. 
Rev 1:12  And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; 
Rev 1:13  And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
^^^
Again John heard a voice say "I am Alpha and Omega"(verse 11), and this time John turned to see Him(verse 12), and it indeed was Jesus, "one like unto the son of man"(verse 13)

The Father is God:
Mat_11:25  At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth....

The Word is God:
Joh 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 

The Holy Spirit is God:
1Co_3:16  Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

Faith given believers are the temple of God, and who dwelleth in the temple of God, other than God?



God is a Spirit:
Joh_4:24  God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

and of course it is God - the Holy Spirit who resides in the temple of God.

Jesus speaking of Paul after his conversion:
Act 9:15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:




Some speak evil of those chosen by Christ:
1Pe_3:16  Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.

2Pe_2:10  But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.

Jud_1:8  Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.


dignitaries.

1. a person who holds a high rank or office, as in the government or church.


2Pe_2:12  But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;

Jud_1:10  But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.

The Conversion of Saul

Act 9:1  And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest, 
Act 9:2  And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem. 
Act 9:3  And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: 
Act 9:4  And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? 
Act 9:5  And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. 
Act 9:6  And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. 
Act 9:7  And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man. 
Act 9:8  And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus. 
Act 9:9  And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink. 
Act 9:10  And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord. 
Act 9:11  And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth, 
Act 9:12  And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight. 
Act 9:13  Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem: 
Act 9:14  And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name. 
Act 9:15  But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel: 
Act 9:16  For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake. 
Act 9:17  And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. 
Act 9:18  And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.

joyandfaith:
Jesus is Mighty God not Almighty God according to Bible and jw. you a liar.

Ha ha, the blinded love to call out "liar",
so called jehovahs witnesses believe in two god's,
a mighty god and a almighty god.

There is but one God:
Deu 6:4  Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: 

YAHOVAH is called both mighty God and almighty God,
mighty and almighty are referring to the one God,
not two god's as false jw believe:

Jer_32:18  Thou shewest lovingkindness unto thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the LORD of hosts, is his name,

Gen_17:1  And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.

Plenty more where they came from.






Isa 9:6  For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

^^^
The mighty God, the everlasting Father, is also called almighty God, as shown above.

Joh 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Act 20:28  Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

^^^
mighty God - almighty God, purchased the Church(faith given believers) with His own blood.





2Co 4:4  In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

Barnes Commentary:

Mat_21:13

And said It is written ... - This is written in Isa_56:7. The first part of this verse only is quoted from Isaiah. The rest - “but ye have made it a den of thieves” - was added by Jesus, denoting their abuse of the temple. Thieves and robbers live in dens and caves. Judea was then much infested with them. In their dens thieves devise and practice iniquity. These buyers and sellers imitated them. They made the temple a place of gain; they cheated and defrauded; they took advantage of the poor, and, by their being under a necessity of purchasing these articles for sacrifice, they “robbed” them by selling what they had at an enormous price.

Mat_12:31  Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
Mat_12:32  And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

You can blaspheme even Jesus Christ(the Word of God as a man) and it will be forgiven you,
but whoever speaks against the Holy Ghost(God is a Spirit, John 4:24, the Holy spirit), it shall not be forgiven him.

"but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him"
does that sound like the Holy Ghost is a thing, a impersonal power, an "it",
those speaking against the Holy Ghost calling Him an "it" etc, will they be forgiven?
it doesn't appear so according to scripture,
have they secured for themselves a place in the Lake Of Fire?
it appears so from scripture.

Ananias and Sapphira
Act 5:1  But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, 
Act 5:2  And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet. 
Act 5:3  But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? 
Act 5:4  Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. 
Act 5:5  And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things. 
Act 5:6  And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him. 
Act 5:7  And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in. 
Act 5:8  And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much. 
Act 5:9  Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out. 
Act 5:10  Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband. 
Act 5:11  And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things. 


Ananias and Sapphira were members of the Church, they sold a posession,
and as was the custom in the church at that time was to share each others money
for the benefot of all, however Ananias and Sapphira decided to keep some of the money
and not tell Peter and the other Church members, they also thought that God residing in them would not know also,
they learnt just before their deaths that they cannot fool God.
Lying to the Holy Spirit is lying to God, verses 3 and 4.

God, the Word Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit

For eyes that can see:


Gen 1:1  In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Gen 1:2  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. 

Job_33:4  The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.

Gen 2:7  And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Psa 33:6  By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

Joh 1:3  All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 

John 1:1 Joh 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
