The spiritual battle is about dominion, that is fighting to control the distiny of a man, family or a nation.
The devil fight and hinder righteous people so that they will not be able to rise and take the seat of governance from the wicked, this is why the nations are ruled by wicked men and women. The devil controls the world by controlling the mind of people that is why programmes and ideologies have risen up so much that people do not see the gospel as the solution for anything hence continue to live in darkness.

From experience I got to know that witches use sexual immorality to shoot down a Christian, those sex dreams, having sex in the dream are met to kindle lust and thereby reduce the power of a Christian.

If they cant get you physically either by coming directly or using sexually immoral persons they project sexual dreams.

Another thing they also use is food, Jesus said man must not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.

petra1:
authority over the devil is based on knowledge mostly not about abstinence

knowledge is one thing, power is another.
Jesus said there are some demons that cannot go out except by prayer and fasting. Demons do not respect your knowledge but your power.

MaxInDHouse:


Is Jesus An Angel As Claimed By Some Christians?

That should be the topic since you're now aware that it's not only JWs that says Jesus is an angel!

what has this got to do with the topic? Hypocrite doling advice he does not follow.

MaxInDHouse:




So let's concentrate on the topic of your thread.

take your own advice

achorladey:


He will be the one to say don't judge others, the next minute you see words like ......

all what other Christian denominations does or are doing are unproductive

I know what they taught them about other Christian groups that they are all part of the babylon system which angel Michael will destroy

achorladey:


His usual mode of operation. He created a thread, those commenting got under his skin, insult started to rain including threat of destruction. One of his brother came to bail him out under the guise of EMOTIONS and imperfections. Some pages later insult start again

lol I know his stock in trade, very hypocritical. His aim is to derail the thread

shadeyinka:

What you experienced was being FILLED (Controlled) with the Holy Spirit. It manifests in several forms including speaking in unknown tongues, faith, prophecy etc.

We are commanded to be FILLED with the Holy Spirit (for it is under your control to do activities that will make you drunk with Him)
Eph 5:18-19:
"And do not be drunk with wine, in which is excess, but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;"

Baptism of the Holy Spirit takes place ONCE in your life time (at the point of salvation).
Rom 6:4:
"Therefore we were buried with Him by baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised up from [the] dead by the glory of the Father; even so we also should walk in newness of life."

Eph 4:5:
"one Lord, one faith, one baptism,"

Col 2:12:
"buried with Him in baptism, in whom also you were raised through the faith of the working of God, raising Him from the dead."

Every child of God ALREADY have the Holy Spirit (He is our Seal untill the day of our redemption).

Being Baptised by the Holy Spirit is NOT a command! Being Filled is a command and it should take place as often as we live our Christian life

Cc:
LilMissFavvy:

you are right, it is the baptism of the holy Ghost that lead to being filled and it manifest in various forms like speaking in tongues, preaching the word with boldness, prophecy, words of knowledge etc

Then why are you pained that your organisation is called out for her false doctrines?
I can how pissful your organisation is through her publication os vitriol against Christianedom and the uncouth and fool mouthed members like you.
Lucifer Angel michol is really doing using you to do his evil works.

MaxInDHouse:
JWs have reached the most distant part of the earth with their message as archangel Michael is fully working with them. Act 1:8

They have removed weapons not only from the hands of their members but out of their hearts. Michael 4:3; Matthew 26:52

They have united people from all races under one umbrella. They have instilled the same line of thought in all their members globally. John 17:20-23; 1Corinthians 1:10

They have penetrated the stronghold of world's most racist nations and make peaceloving disciples out of them! Matthew 28:19-20

Their teachings is so high above all others that you can single them out of more than 42,000 religions claiming Christians {Matthew 5:13-16} you don't even know that it's not only them that beleive in what you're about to accuse them of! Matthew 5:11-12

You're here saying you want to point out heresy but the group you mentioned their name only believes the same thing others around you also believe, which means you only hated them for not been confused like you! Matthew 10:22-25; John 15:19

What other evidence is needed to prove that they've conquered all of you?

MaxInDHouse:


Stupidity is when you're pointing accusing fingers at someone when you're also guilty of the same thing!

You are a trinitarian and here you called out a group because they believe what your fellow trinitarians also believe!

where did I first insult you max? What others believe is not important what is important is what the bible teaches. Is it not so?

MaxInDHouse:
Keep deceiving yourself with false reasoning!
What you're calling lies is able to achieve success throughout the earth while your so called truth remains unproductive! James 2:18-26

if you call this success then the pharisee were also successful after all the planned to kill Jesus and they succeed.

MaxInDHouse:


Keep lying to your own soul!

So you're saying they will not open up even on FACELESS social media like Nairaland, shey?

Why are you people so stupid?

All of you are hiding your Churches because you know nobody can see your faces, then you now wish JWs are like you but they can't hide behind some faceless social media to air their personal opinion, shey?

Your brains needs a reset!

@ bolded what is this maximus? Is it not insult?

Janosky:

Daniel 10:13 & Daniel 12:1, Geneva Bible.
Malachi 3:1, Genesis 16:7, Amplified Bible.
The truth your Trinitarian mentors confirmed since 1599

cutting out a part of spurgeons words proves nothing, surgeons words were only figurative. You called them Trinitarians right do you even know the meaning of it.
I can also call Jesus the true samson who defeat the enemies of God's people going by your logic I meant Jesus is samson right? Or Just like saying because the bible said Jesus is the lion of the tribe of Judah then Jesus is a lion or because God is called a rock then God is literally a rock.
A Trinitarian believes Jesus and the father are one God so it already defeats your premise.

MaxInDHouse:

Walahi Talahi you're a clown!

Instead of listening to reasoning you asked me to focus on the topic, now i told you what is wrong with your topic you said it pains.

No wahala at least i've exposed your ignorance that it's not only JWs that beleive Jesus is an angel!

I can call out any group I want after all Jesus called out the pharisees and even called them hypocrites. So max I follow Jesus foot step in calling out false groups. only the truth no matter how bitter it is , will set you free but I will not lie it hurts. Lies are very sweet but truth just spoil everything. I pray God opens your eyes.

awitness41:


Good man !

If they truly Love God, they will humble themselves, will use His Word and seek the Truth, and then will be given what they ask for.

lol you dont know this people. Maximus started with insults and he is here trying to play the victim.

ariesbull:
with what standard

Do you know that the most expensive car today is Maybach excellero

Not true maybach excellero is not the most expensive car in the world I think Bugatti is, but I forgot the exact name of the Bugatti, maybach excellero cost about 8 million dollars and besides excellero is a concept car made as far back as 2005, there is even a Royce rolls that is more expensive than excellero costing upto 12 million dollars.

awitness41:


Now be nice, LivingChrist... let your Christianity lead you, first by loving your enemies (and Max really isn't your enemy anyway, nor is he mine).

We all know Max... he's a (somewhat) rabid JW, but personally I don't think he's insincere.

But his group, the JWs, are much like the 7th Day Adventists... many of the congregation are fine folks, but their leadership is simply too prideful, thinking they must be the ones who lead, instead of allowing God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and the Word do the leading.

When we are too prideful, as the JW leadership is, how can God work with us ?

He can't, because our pride blinds us.

When we take the lowest place, then God can work with us.

And Max, please know when I bold things as in the post above, I'm not shouting; it's just that I have found no way to underline things for emphasis, so I get stuck bolding things instead.

Wait a minute... I just tried an experiment with "[ u ]" and "[ /u ]" things... it works ! Awesome!

Anyway... Peace to you all ! Be nice to each other.

ok I will be nice with him, I believe it is only God that can open their eyes.

See pain! The truth really hurt,

MaxInDHouse:


The topic should be:

"Is Jesus An Angel As Claimed By Some Christians?"

Your direct attack on Jehovah's Witnesses shows you're not intelligent rather you just want to slander the group.

However Jesus is Archangel Michael if you want to discuss on that you can check the post on this same thread where i addressed the issue then we can start from there!

ariesbull:


Lexus is advanced Toyota lol


My brother Benz get levels

Level 1 Benz
Level 2 AMG
Level 3 Brabus
Level 4 the highest... Maybach

Brabus is a tuned Mercedes, maybach is good but still below rolls Royce and Bentley.

marsoden:


How then would the world be convicted of sin seeing that the Holy Spirit has left the world with the saints(I suppose).
Jesus said that the Holy Spirit does the work of conviction.

John 16:8 “And when he comes, he will convict the world of its sin, and of God’s righteousness, and of the coming judgment.”

the holy spirit will not be removed but rather his restraining power on evil and lawlessness will be withdrawn.

MaxInDHouse:
I don't need your story now, the point i just want to emphasize is that it's not only Jehovah's Witnesses that says Jesus is an angel so you're biased with the title of your thread!

Did I tell you it is only Jehovah witness that teache it? Where is the sense in what you are saying

Drizzy5001:
That guy na complete idiot, wey no know him mate There are only 2 cars in the world Benz and others

you say what? AmG's are good engines but there are beast cars that will leave benz in the dust
BMW's rival benz and even surpass benz but it took a 1000 horse power BMW M5 to beat a Porsche 911 turbo S having just 650 horse power.

there are senior cars like porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Koenigsegg, dodge demon
Lexus is an advance Toyota

MaxInDHouse:




Bethlehem Missionary Church is a trinitarian Church that also believe that Jesus is an angel!

So the topic of your thread supposed to be:


Is Jesus An Angel As Claimed By Some Christians?

I can't force the truth into your head but you can see that it's not only Jehovah's Witnesses!

It is just a claim that doesnt have any evidence, because the same angel of the Lord appeared to mary when Jesus had already incarnated


Matthew 1:20
But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

From this verse it is clear that Jesus is not the angel of the Lord but it might be possible that God himself might have appeared as an angel in the old testament.

Why are you angry that Jwo are being called out, Jesus called out the pharisees boldly, no wonder they wanted to kill him, you are no different from the pharisee who wanted to silence the truth.
@ bolded where is the accusation? Why are you angry and afraid of your doctrines being scrutinized after all your awake and magazines are filled with attacking the Christian teachings.

Who are you enlightening? It's no longer what the bible teaches but individual or group of individual believe. So much for bible student
Good you leave this thread and allow honest people get the truth.

MaxInDHouse:
Well i just want to help you know that you're judging yourself by calling out Jehovah's Witnesses to accuse them when Trinitarians like you also believe that Jesus is an angel!

Next time you want to teach just go straight to what you want people to discuss and try to be patient, then you will see that it's not only Jehovah's Witnesses believe what you're trying to condemn.

Let me enlighten you.
Once you've tagged JWs to the topic you're indirectly telling your audience

"i want to criticize Jehovah's Witnesses"

By so doing even those who share the same line of thought with JWs will not say anything because they don't want to be vilified along with JWs. But had it been that you presented the case without tagging any group you'll have seen another thing entirely.

I'm through with my mission on your thread at least by now all your followers can see for themselves that it's not only JWs that believe Jesus is an angel, sone trinitarians also have the same opinion!

God bless you and may you have PEACE!

MaxInDHouse:
Now check this out!.
This is another Trinitarian (not JW) saying Jesus is an angel!

So your singling out JWs on this shows you're not fully informed about what you're saying!

A Trinitarian cannot say Jesus is an angel and believing in the trinity does not make one a Christian but however every Christian must believe in the trinity to understand the gospel, infact my next thread is going to be about the relationship between the trinity and the gospel.

MaxInDHouse:






You started in a bad way that's why i'm trying to set matters straight with you after discovering that you don't even know us so keep your anger aside and let's reason like mature believers now.

My question is simple and straightforward:

What exactly do you think about different sects all claiming Christians with contradicting teachings and conflicting doctrines in Jesus name?

Because that supposed to be your starting point not singling one group out of thousands of different rival religious groups. Everyone can SEE that what you're calling Christianity is a mess full of contradictions leading followers to arguing among themselves, abusing, insulting and even cursing one another due to the conflicting doctrines their leaders infused in their hearts!

Please i'm not trying to provoke you again because i can sense from your statement regarding the trigger that you don't really know us. So let's talk about what led to all the contradictions in what you call Christianity then we can move on to which of these countless rival groups got it right!

Good morning!

this thread is not about groups but about the false teachings of Jehovah witness organisation.

MaxInDHouse:
Well if you can't chat maturely then let's leave it the way it is!

There is no real Christianity where over 42,000 different rival religious groups are saying contradicting things all over the place arguing, abusing, insulting and cursing one another all in the name of one man (Jesus) who said:

"I have given them the glory that you have given me, in order that they may be one just as we are one" John 17:22

So far there's nothing like oneness in Christendom today then it's evident that the true Christians must be a group having the same line of thought {1Corinthians 1:10; Ephesians 4:3, Philippians 2:2} not countless religious sects contradicting themselves in the name of one founder (Jesus).

You may continue calling your cohorts to come and say whatever they like against one group but know that if you people aren't having the same line of thought then the accusations you lay against any group due to difference in beliefs shows that you're all hypocrites deceiving yourselves!

Jesus is the Archangel Michael, that's our own findings and it has nothing to do with you people because each of you have different opinions on who Jesus truly is. And to worsen the situation your forms of worship totally differs from one to another which has led you people into forming different religious groups.

Sincerely think about this and remember that nobody is given the authority to judge any group of people unless the judgement you're rendering is not in anyway affecting you yourself. Matthew 7:1-4

You can't say JWs are evil simply because they hold a different view when all of you are also having different views!

who called you here to chat?
Max stop derailing the thread.
Because ops exposed the fraud of your organisation you running amok spitting vitriol.

Yes I admit, I am intolerant of satan's organisation. Jehovah witness are not evil but Jehovah witness organisation is evil, It is the system that is evil, you people in that satanic organisation are in bondage.

writing nonsense as usual.
Since you could not prove ops wrong you result to ad hominem and gaslighting, nonsense!

MaxInDHouse:
PREACHING and TEACHING the word of God is not a easy task so one needs to be extra careful so that you don't end up quarrelling instead of preaching.

The word PREACH connotes to PLEAD with your listeners hence everyone often expects a preacher to be cool calm and collected while delivering God's message.

There are countless religions on this planet today all claiming they originates with the Creator but why so many different sects with contradicting teachings and conflicting doctrines all in the name of one God?

Well before you can PREACH effectively you need divine wisdom to boost the efficacy in your manner of approach and the way you deliver the message so it's a job that requires real training.

The OP may surely have the zeal for God as in thinking some people are provoking God's wrath but when you're not fully charged with accurate knowledge of God you will just find yourself wandering around in a circus.

Jehovah's Witnesses are just one out of countless religious groups around you, and just like so many others their doctrines differ so before you can call the attention of people from different religions your message must be unique powered by unwavering consistency not some judgmental opinionated ideology that can't withstand scrutiny.

So calling out just one out of tens of thousand different religions and declaring your personal preconceived judgment on them shows the weakness in your message because there are many more religions contradicting themselves.

Just of recent a prominent religious leader died, the whole world felt his exit, people of timber and caliber from all over the world came to Nigeria to pay a condolence visit to his family, politicians everywhere including the president of the federal republic of Nigeria also sent a condolence message but what about his colleagues in the same field? Well the contradictions couldn't make them think straight. Some said they saw angels carrying him up to heaven, some say he has gone to Hellfire, some say he was Lucifer incarnate and a Ghanaian herbalist claimed he killed him in a spiritual battle. Another prominent religious leader said he had a fight with this same man in the spirit realms before his death. All these led honest hearted and sincere people to start seeing that all these religious title chiefs are nothing but empty headed fools!
God's word says that when a human dies the next thing is how to bury the dead and life goes on but who is the judge? According to my own Bible it's God!
So you may have the zeal and willingness to save souls but you need accurate knowledge to help you PREACH and TEACH effectively not just pointing accusing fingers at different sects simply because their beliefs differ from yours!

MaxInDHouse:


The highlighted shows you are just following misinformed Churchgoers accusing God's people, you don't know anything about us!
So let's talk calmly now, what exactly do you want to know about us?

misinformed and confused max, face the topic and stop derailing.

MaxInDHouse:


So all the over 42,000 different sects claiming Christians with contradicting teachings and conflicting doctrines are all doing that will, shey?

Keep deceiving yourself!

face the topic and stop derailing

MaxInDHouse:


Your stupidity is on the highest level!

You called out a group out of over 42,000 groups claiming Christians with contradicting teachings and conflicting doctrines.
You hypocritically hid your own religion claiming you're a Christian when everyone knows that there are one thousand and one difference in the way churches worship and their beliefs!

Now you're saying members of the religion you singled out of ten of thousands shouldn't come to expose your unquestionable stupidity.

Why not present what you believe and see how many people will pick interest in your nonsense and ingredients?

If you want to commit suicide better go and hang yourself now, because JWs are the one and only mountain that has been raised high above all other hills like your church that you're ashamed to mention {Micah 4:1-3 compare with Matthew 5:14-16} that's why all of you are converging with wicked intentions over our matter! Matthew 5:11-12

hiding behind emojis to thrown tantrums and insults, your bitterness means nothing. I guess if you see me now you may decide to pull the trigger.

MaxInDHouse:


They did not PREACH group yet Jesus publicly said his own mother and brothers are not his real families for not believing the same thing as he does! Matthew 12:46-49

Go and PREACH your confusion to yourself!

[b] Jesus said anyone that does his father's will are his brethren,

Matthew 12:50
For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

He didnt preach group confused max
