AnyanwuSilas:
Who is God?

His name is JEHOVAH! Exodus 6:2-3; Psalms 83:18

AnyanwuSilas:
Can you prove God's existence?
I would love to know more about God if you can prove God with evidence. I'm agnostic not an atheist.

We can't see God but through the things He created we know He lives for instance He said:

Everything He created according to their kind {Genesis 1:24-25} and humans He created in His own image making humans rulers over all the creatures on planet earth no matter how powerful they are humans have the intelligence to cage them or restrict them to a particular region {Genesis 1:26} only humans have continued to make things better while all other creatures remain the same way they're till today.

So if you think seeing God is the only way you can be convinced then it's OK but there are many things you can't see yet you have agreed they exist!

Rabbi Manis Friedman is a true teacher read full transcript or watch video and be Blessed

Please who sent him to teach who?

I will really appreciate it if you can quote anywhere in the Hebrew-Aramaic scriptures where the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob sent Jews to go and teach other nations apart from when Jesus of Nazareth commanded his disciples after all power both in heaven and on earth has been given him! Matthew 28:18-20

So if you choose a Jew to teach you about God without thinking about why he should teach you then you're not getting anything straight, all the laws the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob gave Moses was specifically for the Israelites (alone) it has nothing to do with people of other nations living outside Israel!

derecho:
There's a ton of research done on Islam and people are no longer in the dark.

Perhaps you need to understand the meaning of that word "Darkness"
In the dark you can't see anything so when you does anything it affects everyone around you including those related to you because you're in the dark.
Please what makes Muslims kill Muslims in wars if you're not in the dark spiritually speaking?
I was a Muslim before and what made me leave is the fact that someone with whom i climbed Arafat and kissed the black stone in Mecca could easily pick up arms against me simply because a human ordered him to do so and instantly everything we both shared in the same God makes no sense to my brother in faith again.
This is evil to me and it's like both of us are in the dark if we can't treat each other differently in the face of any trouble when we both agree as brothers in faith.
Jesus of Nazareth taught his own disciples not to hate anyone as enemies {Matthew 5:43-48} so even though someone choose to follow the orders from a tyrant and kill a Christian Jesus promised his disciples that they will be raised back to life in the new system of things.
Before Jesus Israelites do go to wars with God's backing because they were fighting to defend the center of pure worship (Jerusalem) and the place God approves for them as His chosen people but if they turn against pure worship God told them that He will no longer back them and they will have to suffer in the hands of stronger nations.
So it wasn't as if they just have to go to war indiscriminately killing anyone just as Muslims do during WARS!

constancefriday:
Q&A: What was the candid opinion of Jesus about politics? As true Christians, our way of life should not be too far from the exact model of life that Jesus portrayed for us to live here on earth. During the occasion of his ascension, his sad disciples who were already demoralised by his eventual physical absence and departure from earthly immanence asked him; something like this
"Master...what's your view about Politics... Bla bla bla?"
Jesus gave them a crystal clear answer.
So where are all these predictions about the upcoming elections coming from?
The Spirit or the Flesh??
Read ACTS 1:5-8
Scroll down for more. Thanks!

In the beginning God created humans for self reliance when it comes to right and wrong but then humans weren't made to set standards for our fellow humans that's the meaning of the fruit of knowledge of good and evil {Genesis 2:17} freedom to do whatever you like as intelligent being is given eat of any tree to satisfaction! Gen 2:16
But Satan who wanted to rule over intelligent beings led a rebellion against God, he wasn't OK with the idea that each person should be free rather he wanted humans to be subjects to him since he was created to be much more intelligent and powerful than humans. So he told the first couple that it will be in their best interest if they rebel against God's arrangement so they can become rulers over all the coming generations of humans after them since they will be their procreator through sexual reproduction, the first human couple agreed with Satan and the rebels became three instantly. God told Adam and Eve that since their continue existence depends on whatever life saving information He (God) dishes out to them they will certainly die (cease to exit) after the rebellion but as for Satan whose nature differs from that of humans he will live to see how this scheme will turn out to be a complete failure and then he will have nothing else to say against God's right to rule over mankind so he (Satan) will be exterminated.
From that time on Satan has been trying to prove God wrong by introducing different system of government to humans to prove that humans can successfully rule over themselves independently of God's guidance.
If you study Government you will know all the system of government ever introduced to mankind by Satan until the 666 called DEMOCRACY was introduced.
So what has Jesus got to say about human government?
First of all let's consider what God's prophets say about human government:
King David was the most favored Israelites king but did he acknowledge himself as the rightful king over God's people?
David realized that he's just chosen to guide God's people not because he has the right to rule but because he has a personal relationship with God so the power to rule over God's people was given to him so he could lead them to the Christ, that's why David called Christ "Lord" {Psalms 110:1} when the Israelites decided to have human kings like all other nations Samuel made them understand that it's gross sin against God but God told Samuel to allow them suffer in the hands of human rulers! 1Samuel 8:7 compare to 8:10-18

When Jesus (the only rightful king chosen to rule over mankind) walked the earth he made it clear to everyone that his own government will not have anything to do with self-willed individuals because anyone who will rule with him must be chosen by his father in fact Jesus himself has little or no say in chosen his co-rulers! Matthew 20:18-23

So his co-rulers must be ready to serve the people instead of being lords over their subjects {Matthew 20:25-25} if their subjects haven't eaten then they must fast because as long as their subjects aren't having the best of life their government is worthless.

Politics is all about thieves forcing themselves over people to decide what happens in the society that's why they often turn to wars when there is disagreement among them but in God's own government all those in office must have the same line of thought along with Christ and God! John 17:22

That's why Jesus plainly told a Roman governor that his own government is no part of man's opinion {John 18:36} meaning God's chosen king must follow whatever God says is right {John 8:28-29} not what the majority of humans (who are evil in their thinking) decides which is known as DEMOCRACY.

You're free to ask any question that comes to your mind but please make your questions brief.

Thanks, God bless you and may you have PEACE

AnyanwuSilas:
I have also tested it, I was once a born again Christian.
Reality is the main thing

The highlighted is really funny but doesn't really matter after all you people don't know what BORN AGAIN truly means you just assume you're one of the anointed simply because you chose to stay away from sin temporarily!

mercycarl:
I think its is unsafe for christians to be politically docile and indifferent, what if the government decides to make policies that puts them in harms way?

Exodus 14:14

SuperSupremo:
Thank God you said politics,politics is nothing like religion,don't decieve yourself that such didn't happen with Christianity too,read about The lord's resistant army of Uganda,the Crusaders,KKK etc all are confirmed terrorist groups.....If Islam is violent then why are other good Muslims leading in fighting those bad nuts

Christians must not raise weapons in support of anyone as a leader because our leader said:

“You heard that it was said: ‘You must love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ However, I say to you: Continue to love your enemies and to pray for those who persecute you, so that you may prove yourselves sons of your Father who is in the heavens, since he makes his sun rise on both the wicked and the good and makes it rain on both the righteous and the unrighteous. For if you love those loving you, what reward do you have? Are not also the tax collectors doing the same thing? And if you greet your brothers only, what extraordinary thing are you doing? Are not also the people of the nations doing the same thing? You must accordingly be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect" Matthew 5:43-48 compare to Matthew 26:52

So it's you who need not let false religionists deceive you, anyone carrying weapons against his fellowman in the name of war with the prospect of eliminating enemies is not a follower of the man called "CHRIST" because that's what qualifies anyone to be rightly called a "CHRISTIAN" having the same line of thought like Jesus the one called "CHRIST" John 17:22

If you observer closely you will see that the wars in the Bible were to protect the Holy city where pure worship is established not for political reasons. God supported the Israelites because they are practicing pure worship not supporting His own worshipers against their fellow believers the way your own Allah does.
That's why i left Islam for true Christianity: JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES! Isaiah 2:2-4

Bimbilla:
Where Muslims are raising war against each other?

Shi'ites and Sunnis, Iraqis and Iranians, Isis and Boko Haram, all these people are Muslims fighting and killing one another over politics yet they're all claiming worshipers of the same Allah.

Bacteriologist:
Jesus himself (as recorded by the Buybull) took on Pharisees and Sadducess many times.

The arguments that occured between Jesus and Pharisees is between believers and believers not outright atheists, those people also claim they believe in God:

Jesus asked them

"You are doing the works of your father.” They said to him: “We were not born from immorality; we have one Father, God.” John 8:41

So unlike atheists who doesn't believe in the existence of God the Pharisees and Sadducees believe God exist they just don't agree with Jesus' opinion.

As for atheists who doesn't think God exists Jesus told his disciples not to waste their precious times arguing with them! Matthew 7:6

Mark of the beast is DEMOCRACY in politics!

SuperSupremo:
Christians solely depend on translated books which are not even same,some have 66 books and some have 73 books which one is the truth? Hebrew Bible mentions Mohammed by name and speak good about him but it's not found anywhere in translations,how many Christians know the Hebrew Bible and can read it? Follow only 1 God of Adam,Moses,David,Abraham,Jesus and Mohammed,they all prostrate to worship God,none clapped and shout as Christians do.
Pls learn more about Islam on your own,not what churches tells you

My friend the truth never welcome killing of fellow believers so if Muslims as a group do kill Muslims as another group then something is wrong with their book as well because from your opinion the translation supposed to be one or perhaps each person should be able to read the original language.
But despite the fact that most Arab countries claiming Muslims understood the language of their Qur'an they still wage war against one another. Please where is their Allah if people meeting together to bow before that black stone in Mecca could raise weapons against themselves in the name of politics then Allah supposed to be questioned with it's book! Isaiah 2:2-4

gohf:
how ever way you support that which is good.
Do unto others as you want to be done unto you. If Jesus was walking the earth, would you house him and offer him a meal, would you speak kindly and give him water to drink, would you listen to him when he tells you to forgive that person who hurt you badly or visit your parents or family who offended you in the past. Would you prefer to count your millions or help feed the hungry and cloth the naked. Would you spread love and joy if it means not buying an extra car or house for yourself. Would you support those who say the truth even if you would loss your job or your life. Are people really ignorant of the good they should do, or do they feign ignorance and mock those who do it

This is exactly what all those claiming pastors do say and many feel like supporting them MATERIALLY SPEAKING. So whether they collect money or other material possessions all still boils down people doing what they know is good!

gohf:
"who do not ask you for money or special seed" but tell you to serve God will all your heart, with all your soul and with all your might and love your neighbor as yourself. You love them by obeying God's word that comes out from them, by supporting their God's given assignment.

How do you support them?

gohf:
After all this, hope you show love to the genuine men of God who do not ask you for money or special seed

How do one IDENTIFY genuine men of God and how do you show love to them?

SuperSupremo:
Some Arabic words may have 5-6 English words to identify it's real meaning,there is nowhere it says Allah is the best deceiver whatsoeve.

The same applies to the Hebrew language used to write the first sets of books in the Bible so what most people say about the Bible today based on their perception of a Hebrew text is totally contrary to the real meaning!

brocab:
So you finely come to realize: You belong to your father, the devil. You want to obey your father’s wishes. From the beginning, the devil was a murderer. He has never obeyed the truth. There is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his natural language. He does this because he is a liar. He is the father of lies.
Pretty strong words: I never thought I would hear a JW ever saying this about themselves: Well done Max: now are you ready to listen to the written Word of God-don't let this opportunity pass by you, this is your salvation: stop being a fool following after strange doctrines: come allow yourself to know the truth.

Great!

So go out there and find the children of your own father!

EmekaStanley:
Okay

Smartness at it's best!
I really admire this spirit and i wish believers in God follow up on this to prove that those guys claiming atheists are even much more zealous to PREACH and TEACH what is in their minds than people claiming believers it's just a pity that while believers have a reason and a leader who commanded us to preach atheists are just zealous and ambitious without being sent!

PROVERBZ:
I saw a video on tiktok. it was from an Islamic movie during the time of Mohammed.
A group of Muslims came to Ethiopia,hey met one of the king's there who happened to be Christian. They told him that the worshiped the same God as him. And from there they were able to convert him into their religion.

And that had me thinking about deception.
I decided to investigate what the Bible and qoran says about God and deception.

In the Bible it claims that God hates deceit and that the devil/serpent/beast/ anti Christ was the best deceiver.

Then I came across a post were it claims that Allah was the greates deceiver and when I looked into it, it happens that this statement was made by Allah a couple of times.

Surely the same God that clames to hate deceit and that satan was the greatest deceiver can not go on to claim that he was also a master of deceit?

Cc antichristian antiislam MaxInDHouse lomprico advocatejare haekymbahd

Please i don't like interfering in such matters because most people don't know the meaning of that group name "CHRISTIANS" as for "MUSLIMS" there's no group with a unique teaching that can be IDENTIFIED as Muslims as long as you're following Arabian traditions you're a Muslim but Christianity totally differs from that as it has to do with the life and ministry of a Jewish man called Jesus of Nazareth who claimed he is the CHRIST.

So do you know what Christianity truly means?
There are many religions in this world and according to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob they're all worshiping demons {1Corinthians 10:20} before you can prove that those claiming Christians and those claiming Muslims aren't worshiping the same God you need to distinguish between what being a Christian entails.

May you have PEACE!

TenQ:
Sorry sir!
Check the parable of the good Samaritan: he didn't need to know the one that was robbed to act Of course, you are free to reject any prayer isn't it? Please feel very free o. It's not by force

Later you will start talking about context!

So you don't even know what Jesus said about a neighbor and a brother.
What a pity?

OK let's teach you even though you're unwilling to learn.

A neighbor is anyone living around you, Jesus said we should love them just as we will also like to be loved {Mark 12:31} so if a neighbor is in need of something and we have it it makes the best sense to assist because he is going to be the next person we can also turn to in times of need for assistance as a neighbor.

A brother is that neighbor to whom we are related by faith so he is closer to us than any other neighbor that's why Jesus could speak of those related to him by faith as his real family! Matthew 12:46-50

So even though the neighbor should be loved we have nothing to do with him or her if we're not related by faith! John 17:8-9

Ọmọ you're still far away from knowledge o!

It's taking you to my God in prayer or following you to your God in prayer that's not possible, when it comes to doing what's within my capability to help you i must do it just as the Samaritan did but regarding sacred services to my God it has nothing to do with you.
That's what Jesus meant when he told a pagan:
“I was not sent to anyone except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” Matthew 15:24
Jesus helped the woman but when it comes to worship Jesus only worship with those having the same line of thought with him {John 17:22} because those are his brothers in faith. Matthew 12:46-50
Ọmọ you're not my brother in faith doesn't mean when i'm in position to save you i won't render the assistance but afterwards i will walk away leaving you for the God of your choice!

Janosky:
Did Satan punish Adam in hellfire?
Indeed your own deity is Satan, typical sadist.
Son of Perdition deceiving himself.

Please brother let him be so we can concentrate on serious students!

TenQ:
You complained that I prayed for someone in your opinion not worthy of it.
I prayed the same prayer for you and it is still a problem.
Maximus, what do you want?

According to the inspiration God gave the prophets and Jesus' actions it's not right to pray for or with anyone who refuses to agree on doctrines with the worshipers of the Bible God! Proverbs 28:9; Jeremiah 11:14; John 17:8-9

If you're praying for everyone i know you're just doing it ignorantly but it irritates the worshipers of the Bible God when you do such in the name of God's son who never taught his disciples like that, well let's just say you don't know so go now and stop doing that because from this very moment the heavens will count it against you as sin against God's Holy Spirit after seeing it with your own eyes that even Jesus won't do what God forbids regarding prayers! Matthew 5:17

As long as we disagree on doctrinal matters praying with you or for you is detestable to my own God! Proverbs 28:9

So keep your prayers for your brethren like oteneaaron and others that you always disagree on doctrines! Luke 11:23

TenQ:
For God so loved the WORLD....
And even if you dislike it, you are my neighbour.
Finally,
..go into all the world... preach...
Can you see how mistaken you are

Of course i'm your neighbour no doubt about that but your brother?
No way!
It's faithless miscreants like oteneaaron that's your brother!

Ọmọ you don't have to go far oteneaaron is here and ready to chat with you as his BROTHER, oya preach your gospel to him nah!

Janosky:
Don't mind them with their GIBBERISH deceiving themselves.
Jesus gospel of the new heaven and new earth no reach their hearts.
ALL of them wan go heaven as if na jamboree.

My brother, that's not what really baffles me now after all this is not the first time humans will be dreaming of what is not possible but the idea of PRAYING in Jesus name in behalf of someone who is ever poised to debunk Jesus Christ!

Ọmọ Jesus really knew so much about this faithless generation of miscreants o!

“With whom, therefore, should I compare the men of this generation, and whom are they like? They are like young children sitting in a marketplace and calling out to one another, saying: ‘We played the flute for you, but you did not dance; we wailed, but you did not weep.’ Likewise, John the Baptist has come neither eating bread nor drinking wine, but you say: ‘He has a demon.’ The Son of man has come eating and drinking, but you say: ‘Look! A man who is a glutton and is given to drinking wine, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ All the same, wisdom is proved righteous by all its children.” Luke 7:31-35

They can't agree on how to worship God even the doctrines about Jesus of Nazareth has led them to break into tens of thousands sects with contradicting teachings and conflicting doctrines and now the worst is happening:
He acknowledged a profound enemy of the Good News about Jesus as his brother and even praying for that one in Jesus name!

Ọmọ nah wa o!

I expected to see oteneaaron's response to his brother's prayer but he ran away, all he's after is how to criticize God's united family all others can say anything they like after all he has declared them pagans but as for JWs he is ever ready to go into arguments no matter how long it will take him!

Continue deceiving yourself!

TenQ:
Mr Maximus, have a beautifully productive day in Jesus name!
...Freely you were given, freely give!

After arguing blindly for weeks on letters that you don't know it's interpretation you ended up calling an atheist your brother then pray for your faithless brother in Jesus name!

TenQ:
I perfectly agree with you.
Have a beautifully productive day in Jesus name

Even Jesus refused to pray for those who don't believe in him:

"For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. I pray for them: I pray not for the world" John 17:8-9 compare to Proverbs 28:9; Jeremiah 11:14

You miscreants won't cease to amuse me!

To your brother who strongly believe Jesus never existed!

TenQ:
I perfectly agree with you.
Have a beautifully productive day in Jesus name

Why do you people love deceiving yourselves like this?

Noted.
Now go out there and preach to those in your neighbourhood!

Ken4Christ:
It's not what I think. The scripture is very clear on the subject of salvation and eternal destiny of men. I am trying to help you make a u-turn from the pathway of destruction you are following. Please, accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. Do not harden your heart. This is the opportunity you have. And the good thing is that you will receive an instant transform that cannot be denied.

Why not try it and give God the glory later.

So, say this prayer if you want to be truly born again;

Dear Lord Jesus, I believe you died for me and I believe that God raised you up from the dead to justify me. I hereby confess you as my Lord and Saviour from this day hence. Thank you heavenly father for saving me. I am your son from this day hence in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

Congratulations if you or any other person said this prayer.

The next thing you need is the baptism with the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues.

Follow my recent post on how to receive the baptism with the Holy Spirit. He will make your life supernatural.

Don't let this opportunity pass you by.

Jesus loves you and so do I.

Scriptures related with our salvation

John 3:16-18
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM should not perish, but have everlasting life.

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

18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT IS CONDEMNED ALREADY, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Are you surprised he called me his brother?
Unlike you who had said many times that the rest of humanity are only "neighbors" to you, he understands the single truth that - we are all one - no matter your religion or belief system - we are all brothers and sisters with one common ancestor.
See how religious indoctrination has turned you into a fanatic.

Hen try to AGREE with your brother nah!

Apart from criticizing God's organization do you agree with him that he's not a PAGAN?

TenQ:
Thanks bro!
It is true that satan blinds his own so that even though they read, their hearts remain seared as with hot iron.

As we share the truth of God's word, we pray for grace also for them that they will receive freedom from their handcuffs!

oteneaaron:
Wow

This thread has come a long way.

Sagenaija and TenQ, I would like to congratulate both of you for keeping to the conversation, even in the face of consistent beating around the bush and name-calling by the opposing parties.

It quite interesting how many of the core doctrines of Jehovah's Witnesses fall short when explored through the lens of contextual examination.

Noun

context

1. The surroundings, circumstances, environment, background or settings that determine, specify, or clarify the meaning of an event or other occurrence.

2. (linguistics) The text in which a word or passage appears and which helps ascertain its meaning.

3. (archaeology) The surroundings and environment in which an artifact is found and which may provide important clues about the artifact's function and/or cultural meaning.

May JEHOVAH be praised!

This is what i've been telling you, if with all this argument you can't present a group with which you agree on terms and conditions of worship just as Jesus foretold then you're simply deceiving yourself. Luke 11:23

This is what your Bro typed about those putting faith in Christ Jesus:

oteneaaron:
"The very thing which is now called the Christian religion existed among the ancients also, nor was it wanting from the inception of the human race until the coming of Christ in the flesh, at which point the true religion, which was already in existence, began to be called Christian."

Lol! When you're caught in your own trap you run. Maybe you need to consult your GB before you can answer that my last question in particular. At the end of the day it is clear that the Bible really means nothing to you guys. Only your made-up fantasy stories matter.

Go gather people in your neighbourhood and teach them what you think you know!

OK, thank you for your information contribution.
Now go and preach what you think you know!

Ken4Christ:
What happens when the blind leads the blind? They will both fall into a ditch or be crushed by a moving vehicle. Just continue with your deception. Your real master, Satan is waiting to punish you in hell for job well done. And he will laugh you to scorn. You will remember all these post when it happens. You close up your conscience just to uphold teachings you know are definitely lies. I feel sorry for all that have been held captive by your demonic teachings.

Agents of darkness disguised as ministers of light.

Ọmọ go and preach what you think you know to your neighbours we already have our own teachings just as you've confirmed and it's never going to tally with your thinking.
So whatever you make up of Bible verses go out there and teach whoever is ready to listen to you, we have our own students learning from us.

Remember, we are talking about a particular portion of the Bible. We are not fantasizing.
I know that you guys have been fed with a lot of FANTASY stories enhanced by the beautiful drawings they give you in your magazines. But the true reality is what the Bible presents not the imagination of humans transposed on the Bible.What do you make of this Revelation portion? Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” And they went up to heaven in a cloud, while their enemies looked on. Revelation 11:12
