Let me see the proof that show that the GB of JWs is the only channel.

Sorry for the late response i was at a cork take party, today is my friend's wedding anniversary.

Please hold your Bible at hand and let's do the digging for spiritual gems!

The Bible is God's message to mankind and it's like a guidebook or manual God gave us. The entire human race are faced with one problem and that's how to know the source of divine guidance, since demons are also disguising as angels of light {2Corinthians 14:11} many books has been written all in the name of Holy scriptures. So God told us what to expect from the source of divine wisdom {Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3} according to this verses God's Holy Spirit will move round the earth and gathered millions of faithful people in all races, they will become like a global family using the Bible as their guidebook, they will use what they found in God's word to settle all their racial disparities among themselves, divert their resources into production of food and information materials, erased the making, buying, selling and usage of weapons in their hearts and vow never to raise weapons against anyone again!

Jesus said there will be falsehood during the endtime as Satan's agents will be serving as prophets {Matthew 7:15} but by their end result you will know them {Matthew 7:16} because those who are truly connected to Christ will be the only one yielding positive results! Matthew 7:17-18

Please let me know if there is any other group claiming Christians that is producing what God said at Isaiah 2:2-4 and Micah 4:1-3 apart from Jehovah's Witnesses. If there's any other group then we have to consider those feeding them spiritually speaking to ascertain if they're also part of the faithful and discreet slave Jesus foretold during the endtime! Matthew 24:45

Thanks for your time!

Sand2022:
Former members of all groups tend to behave that way. While some may have something to say about their former faith to which any new member should bear in mind, most of them do not have sound basis for leaving. Listen to those that have good reasons to present and let alone those that are just angry for nothing.

But bear in mind that no one christian group has monopoly on truth. Secondly, even in divergent views, God can chose anyone from any group for salvation and as His servant. The issue with the GB is that they see themselves as the only channel through which bible truth can flow. That is false. But you can reject the premise, be open minded and worship with them. I am familiar with the witnesses doctrines.

Sorry i never saw this in time not until the runaway OP quoted you!

There's scriptural proof that confirmed the GB as the one and only channel through which Bible truth flow today. If you're open minded we can discuss on that!

Of course i can't agree unless i see evidence in any other group! wink

Thanks for sharing.

You're welcome Sir, we all need to know why we are here chatting about religion. The atheist believe we don't need God in order to keep morals yet if allowed each person can define what morals is to them in various ways that will surely lead to contradictions hence troubles which brings us back to where we started: There is need of a SUPREME BEING whose say should be final regarding what is right and what is wrong!

CRUX still remain LATIN word and not Greek, just accept the fact that you made a big blunder

MaxInDHouse:
The Bible was originally written in three languages: Genesis to Malachi ~ Hebrew and Aramaic
While Matthew to Revelations ~ Greek

It was later translated to Latin (Roman language) so if i say the original language used in writing the gospel is Greek but mistakingly used the Latin text that doesn't change the fact that the translation "CROSS" is wrong!

Surely you don't even take time reading the posts you only run to what you want to argue about. I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses the one and only organization that's been making amendments when needed! wink

What is the purpose of deciding what is right and wrong?

Peaceful coexistence among intelligent beings (Humans) that's the only purpose of deciding what is right and wrong, moreover that's the only reason why God created us with the ability to speak as in communicate, in the absence of peaceful coexistence there's no need thinking of right and wrong which equates the inhabitants to BEASTS!

There are two sides to a story, wat of if God willingly chose him bcoz of our sins and Harden heart

According to the Bible things will continue to get worse each time humans vote in a new leader.

WHY?

Because the only option to a better life is God's Kingdom (God's Government) not human government.
Logically it's unreasonable for normal humans to expect their fellow humans rule over them and bring relief! Ecclesiastes 4:1; 8:9

The one and only way forward is EQUALITY in all institutions. Let those whose brains grasp academics do white-collar jobs while those whose brains can't cope with academics do the menial jobs but pay everyone the same amount. Everything good will automatically fall in place but with this system of things the world not only Nigeria is heading towards a crash!

This is Mark 8:34 from Greek Bible which has nothing to do with CRUX
This is Crux from Encyclopedia Britannica
Crux, (Latin: Cross) , also called the Southern Cross, constellation lying in the southern sky at about 12 hours 30 minutes right ascension and 60° south declination and visible only from south of about latitude 30° N (i.e., the latitude of North Africa and Florida).
https://www.britannica.com/place/Crux

Big shame on you! Crux is NOT Greek word but Latin word

You're welcome from the journey Ma, so you can now see that the word translated "CROSS" has an origin but it's just a pity that you failed woefully to find out the true meaning!

It was later after the churches began imposing their teachings on people that Crux was later accepted as Cross but from the original language Crux simply means a STAKE!

So again, thanks for your time.

The highlighted is another good point!

You don't even know the real meaning of that group name "CHRISTIANS"

Well you need more enlightenment!

People who goes out to make noise in the streets disturbing the peaceful atmosphere are not followers of Christ! Matthew 12:19

People who support politics to pick up arms and start killing their neighbours including their own fellow believers are not followers of Christ! Mark 12:31 compare to John 13:34-35

People who welcome contradicting teachings and conflicting doctrines are not followers of Christ! John 17:22 compare to 1Corinthians 1:10

Now go back and figure out who are the true followers of Jesus the man called CHRIST because it's from that title the group name CHRISTIANS was derived! Act 11:26

Thanks for your time! wink

Truth be told, the only thing I've learnt from our interaction is that you are an artful dodger who pretends not to see legitimate criticisms of his worldview. Your conception of the Biblical God is at odds with the mainstream traditional belief, but you're just going to ignore and handwave the facts because it's too inconvenient for your beliefs.

However you choose to interpret my posts is your sole responsibility. I'm responsible for what I type but not for whichever funny meanings you read into my statements.

I don't have any business with what you choose to believe or disbelieve. You can hold on to your beliefs if it makes you feel secure. But please when debating with people who don't belong to your faith, at least try to maintain honesty and have the integrity to admit where you made mistakes.

Enjoy your weekend.

The highlighted is exactly what i've been trying to tell you, my God is responsible for what is written in the Bible but please don't quote Him and adding your own meaning simply because you don't want to see reasons with him.

I speak with the greatest honesty and sincerity that's why i never turned to rage like your so called mainstream believers {1Peter 3:15} Jesus taught us to be wise and harmless! Matthew 10:16

So it's you who needs to be honest, respectful and calm whenever you meet people who has a different view of what you thought you've figured out! wink

I don't need enlightenment from a religious nutter with needle eye vision. Stop hallucinating.

I know that you've gained a lot through our chat!

Now you know better that the Bible God never claimed to be Omniscient nor Omnipresent, you now know that it's not through threatening others with torment that God's word was preached, you also learned that true Christians don't simply get overwhelmed when you're mocking, insulting or cursing them for their faith, you also learned that the Bible is working throughout the earth gathering people for salvation even though their number is relatively few in comparison to faithless billions yet they've made a lot of impact on the human race in general.

So till some other time remember i'm not your enemy neither your family rather i'm your neighbourly Maximus one of Jehovah's Witnesses.

A better replacement for JW is Jesus! You are not a Christian and you don't read your Bible. If you were a Christian, you would have known this. Jesus is the way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to Almighty God except through him. Not Watchtower. Jesus! He said this many years ago but you don't listen. Why did those many JWs run away if there is truly no replacement for JW? They saw that Watchtower is backed by Satan! They saw that Watchtower is doomed for destruction and decided to obey what the Bible says, Come out of her so that you will not have a share in her sins! They realised Watchtower's Scam and also realised that Jesus is the Way and that they can deal with him directly instead of through a group of charlatans!

Oteneaaron, i will give you hypertension if you continue disguising! cheesy

Come on answer the question and stop being silly.

You said Jesus is better than JW organization but Jesus in the Bible promised his disciples that the first thing they will gain to assure them that they are practicing what he taught them is the ORGANIZATION of people from different races throughout the earth:

They became still more astounded and said to him: “Who possibly can be saved?” Looking straight at them, Jesus said: “With men it is impossible but not so with God, for all things are possible with God.” Peter began to say to him: “Look! We have left all things and followed you.” Jesus said: “Truly I say to you, no one has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for my sake and for the sake of the good news who will not get 100 times more now in this period of time—houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and fields, with persecutions—and in the coming system of things, everlasting life. Mark 10:26-30

Here is where Jesus confirmed that the only way to be sure that i (Maximus) am with him is the visible ORGANIZATION of brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, sons and daughters {Matthew 12:46-50} in the absence of an ORGANIZED people practicing what Jesus taught you don't know Jesus! wink

The first century Christian congregation also managed different traits in different nationalities just as whenever you guys want to talk about JWs you post pictures of white men in countries where such traits is a problem whereas you're talking to Africans who have members of this same organization in their society and it's like such isn't happening here. So common sense should tell you that each race has their own peculiar trait and JW organization must work really hard to save people in that area no matter the trait they can become better individuals in the society! 1Corinthians 6:11

Well for your information people in both countries are no killing one another just because those two men are dragging territories of domain. That's the problem POLITICS is causing which will never happen to JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES because we are not in support of any human government! cheesy

Not the point of the analogy.

People applying what the Bible says are making peace reign among themselves just as the Author promised so there's no need talking about a book that has no influence nor effect in anyway, that's what makes you stupid! wink

Also irrelevant. Secondly, your double standard is showing.
On one hand, you accuse people guilty of certain sins as doing so because of politics.
Now when I pointed out that your make-a-wish organization is also guilty of several of the aforementioned sins, you went on to say they're not perfect. And yet you claim they're free from politics.
If politics is what makes people commit these sins, and some JWs still commit these sins, then JWs are not free from “politics"
