LoLz. I don hear.
So next time use thought provoking questions when you feel someone is lying, i've taught you that before. Intelligent people don't just accuse others of lying, during investigation police officers do use it to force words out of the mouth of a suspect but in the intelligence we won't say "you lie" instead we will continue to follow your narrative logically with thought provoking questions until you hit the wall. wink

cheesy cheesy cheesy
You comments make me laugh cheesy
They give atheists reasons to doubt God's word as they're not seeing what is written in God's word as real events that occurred to real people with feelings like everyone else.
Just imagine a professed Christian asking such questions when he can just pick up his Bible to read what Jesus commanded his disciples when the same thing happened during his time.
Most of them just see the Bible as fairytales but then they wish the miracles are real so they could have the experience. smiley

That's another argument. Are there not charities and other organizations that also try to raise and spend money taking care of the less privileged? The only difference between those charity organizations and JWs, is that the latter based their actions on their sky daddy ideology. For someone who claims not to be political, you're doing an absolutely terrible job, comparing JWs, which are a group of people, to entire governments, and countries. Either you don't understand how governments work (which wouldn't surprise me at this point), or you don't understand how basic comparison is supposed to work. A much better comparison, would be between JWs and charity organizations. Let's do that and see how it plays out. Of course. Of course. It's not like people have used the bible to justify wars or anything. It's also not like people in the Old Testament went around un-aliving people for the sole reason that "their God promised them land". Certainly not. That aside, the bible, like every other book in existence, does what books do. They offer the reader a new perspective. Sometimes, the perspective is positive. Sometimes not. I'm not talking about a book. I'm talking about the technological advancements you enjoy today. Cars that can get you from one place to another in a short amount of time. Phones that let you talk to anyone, anywhere around the world. Light bulbs that let you illuminate your surroundings when it gets dark. Gas cookers that help you heat up your food in a short period of time. Medicines that prevent you from meeting the God you love so much. The list goes on and on. All these things were made possible thanks to the help of the same "scientists" you slander when it comes to weapons. If you want to hate science, that's fine. Just don't be hypocritical about it.
Yep. Snakes, crocodiles and poison Ivy are all wonderful things really. I love to spend my free time playing tickle tickle with crocodiles, and sniff the plant with poison Ivy. Also, "God's word" is a completely subjective statement, and means different things to different people. What you're indeed trying to say is that we have problems because people don't follow my book. Which goes to show how little you know about the wide variety of problems we face today, and the reasons they occur. I'm not here to debate why people abandon children. And I'm not condoning abandoning children. But If there's anything we can all agree on, it's that there are people, who for some reason or the other, can abandon their children. We're not talking about a Just, Loving and Sane Creator. We're simply talking about a creator. And you don't need to be just, loving, and sane to be a creator. You only need the ability to create. That's what makes someone a creator. The other 3 are good attributes we'd like a creator to have, but they are not attributes that define what a creator is. That was the point I was trying to make. Don't turn this to an argument from emotion.Read my reply again and come back and respond. This is not a comparison between the different concepts of God. This is an attempt to find our way from the existence of a God, to the right concept of a God. Stop trying to work your way backwards. You want to go by your biased concept of God, to prove why your biased concept is true, based on the biased concept. A perfect circle. Also, I've told you before. It's not a popularity contest. Truth is truth, regardless of the number of people that follow it. Stop making reference to numbers. Global recognition and popularity have no bearing on what is true. There was once a time when the vast majority of people believed that the earth was flat, and that the sun revolved around the earth, and that the earth was the center of the universe. The view was held by the majority. But it was still wrong.
You think by typing long epistles i'll get bored and stop responding to you shey?
Keep deceiving yourself. cheesy

If we want to know whether a God exists or not the first step is to ask:
Is there any race on this planet that doesn't believe in God? ~ answer: None!
Is there any culture that teaches that Gods can be seen with ordinary eyes? ~ answer: None!

So it's established that all races believe in God which shows that Gods do exist. But then how can we verify what exists but we can't see?
That's why we must ask those claiming God exists to explain their God and the visible works of their invisible God as EVIDENCE!

So stop deceiving yourself because you can't see God/Gods the only way to prove that God/Gods exist is the WORKS of these Gods.

Do you believe in radio waves?
Can people see it?
Borrow a leaf from these two questions because radio waves exists but only when it's put to work that we can perceive that it exists! smiley
Christianity Etc › Re: Questions I Have About The Existence Of A Creator God by MaxInDHouse(m):
TenQ:
Why was it difficult for you to answer two simple practical questions?
I trust Jesus for my future!
Jesus allows me to take personal decisions in my present.
1Cor 2:16:
"For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ."

In my present especially in difficult situation, He leads me to take the right decisions (especially when I ask sincerely).
Now I ask a question about the present with Ukraine and Russia.
As far as you are concerned, it is okay if Russia demand that Ukraine be annexed to their country.
1. Would it be okay if Ukraine also demand that Russia be annexed into their country?
2. If both is okay: how do you resolve the problem?

There are two different questions sir!
You said you believe (trust) in Jesus shey?

OK let's see what Jesus said when the same thing happened in the first century:

The Roman government has been in control of so many cities around the Mediterranean sea including Judea (Jesus' homeland) so when he began his ministry the Jews were anticipating a revolution against Rome after all the Messiah (Christ) is now with them and according to Daniel's prophecy the Christ will conquer all the kingdoms of the world {Daniel 2:44} and establish David's throne forever! Isaiah 9:6 -7

In fact the people got fed up with Jesus' story story ministry and decided to make him King by force since all evidence points to him as the expected Messiah (Christ) but instead of Jesus to start acting in line with their quest he ran away from them! John 6:15

Even John the baptist became confused as the last prophet who also taught the people so many things about the Christ, John's confusion became obvious when he was languishing in prison and Jesus didn't come to rescue him! Matthew 11:2-3

The situation keep getting worse and what did Jesus told his disciples about Jewish revolt against Rome? He made his disciples realize that by the time the Jews start to revolt against Rome his own disciples shouldn't join rather they should run away from Jerusalem because both the city and temple will be destroyed by the Roman government! Luke 21:20-24 compare to Matthew 24:1-2

But
©Why must his disciples abandon their homeland in time of trouble?
©Can't they pick up weapons like other Jews to defend their country?
©What exactly did Jesus meant by telling faithful people to abandon JERUSALEM during times of trouble?


Now you (TenQ) in particular do you think Jesus is making any sense with this statement?
Because this is his country where his mother, brothers, sisters, cousins, uncles, aunties and many more lives so what do you think about his line of thought? smiley

Well if you're interested in knowing the answer
to the highlighted questions just signal by typing "i want to know" and i will TEACH you. Matthew 28:20
But as for your two questions it's clear from Jesus' words that his disciples aren't supposed to support even their homeland in times of WAR. So if you believe in Jesus that's what he taught his own disciples and that's exactly what JWs always do anytime there is WAR.

May you have PEACE! smiley

The governing body aren't human government because they're not elected by humans that's why their own subjects willingly subjected ourselves, unlike your own governments who always lord themselves over you with weapons not considering what's written in God's word {Matthew 20:25} our own weapon is God's word and nobody is above it!

1. Would it be okay if Ukraine also demand that Russia be annexed into their country?

I didn't see this earlier!

Jesus is coming to destroy all humans who are not supporting his BROTHERS that are working to gather peacelovers throughout the earth! Matthew 25:31-46

That's why they're not governing over people in one geographical location with boarders {John 4:20} using weapons to intimidate their own subjects because their own government is SPIRIT and TRUTH {John 4:24} they are the New heavens (New government) and their subjects are the New Earth (New Subjects) both made up of peaceloving people {2Peter 3:13; Isaiah Isaiah 65:17} Isaiah has earlier explained how this government will suffice and what they will achieve with imperfect humans! Isaiah 2:2-4 compare to Micah 4:1-3

That's why Jesus could confidently say about them:
"I have given your word to them, but the world has hated them, because they are no part of the world, just as I am no part of the world" John 17:14

Begging his father to watch over them since they're no part of you people who are worried about your human governments under Satan's control {John 14:30; 2Corinthians 4:4; 1John 5:19}

“I do not request that you take them out of the world, but that you watch over them because of the wicked one" John 17:15

So continue arguing over who should be your ruler and his vice while we focus on our own government ~ God's Kingdom ! smiley

RightChannel:
Can somebody honestly shed some light why muslims would kill, fight and defend their prophet while the christians would only pray and ask God to defend himself.
With unrest around the world caused by slaves of Allah, muslims are always quick to anger with violent response in defense of their faith.
I would very much want to know why the two religion differ so much in their approach to negative or contrary issues against them.
When Muhammad was alive he told his disciples that they should hold themselves because Allah can do and undo so he can't guarantee anyone's salvation.

But Jesus said:

“All authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth" Matthew 28:18

Moreover Muhammad's disciples will surrender their lives to save Muhammad but Jesus surrendered his own life for his disciples and when Peter (one of his friends) tried to fight for Jesus he rebuked him! Matthew 26:52

So true Christians can't think of fighting for Jesus who has been given all the power both in heaven and on earth! smiley

Unfortunately, this is already a problem where both Ukraine and Russia has members who are JW.
The problem has come, what is the solution?
That's why I asked the questions
As far as you are concerned, it is okay if Russia demand that Ukraine be annexed to their country.
1. Would it be okay if Ukraine also demand that Russia be annexed into their country?
2. If both is okay: how do you resolve the problem?
From 1919~2019 means a 100 years that Jesus has worked with JWs throughout the earth to gather his prospective kingdom subjects so get prepared for the showdown because this is just the beginning of the end! Matthew 24:4-14

As for your question our Master, Lord and King Christ Jesus gave us a command saying:

“Also, there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars, and on the earth anguish of nations not knowing the way out because of the roaring of the sea and its agitation. People will become faint out of fear and expectation of the things coming upon the inhabited earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. But as these things start to occur, stand up straight and lift up your heads, because your deliverance is getting near.” Luke 21:25-28

All we need is to keep calm and believe (trust) in the God of our salvation, so it's left to you if truthfully you also believe in the God that sent Jesus! Psalms 30:15 smiley

YES! They spend millions they supposed to use feeding beggars on their streets while JWs have no members begging on your streets.

The bible is a book, meant for reading. Unless of course, you're John Wick. Then yes. The bible can be a weapon.
That's the weapon that made millions across the globe surrender without the use of guns.
We soldiers aren't just meant to kill people but make opposers surrender their weapons by using stronger weapons to force them but JWs are using the Bible and millions throughout the earth have surrendered.
Moreover worldly soldiers either to intimidate or kill their opposers but JWs reach the hearts of their opposers and caught millions alive! Mark 1:17
Wilgrea7:
Who brought the bible? Humans. Humans who claimed to have been inspired by a God.
And we can all see the success as what we read in the book became possible. Millions have become lovers of peace through studying the Bible! Isaiah 2:2-4

Who developed the process for converting trees into paper that could be used to create books, including the bible. The same scientists.
Who developed the phone/laptop you're using? Who developed the systems for purifying water you get from the ground? Who developed the refrigerator that keeps your food cold? Who developed the car you drive to work? Let me guess.. the same "scientists"
YES! They invented papers and laptops but that's not where the informations are no longer Sir, we now have it all in our hearts {Jeremiah 31:33} so don't think we're quoting book for you naaaaaaaaaaaaa we are quoting the living words of GOD which dwells in our hearts. That's why i told you initially that you were never a Christian!
Wilgrea7:
The fact that you peddle this "Scientist vs God" ideology, only goes to show how little you know about the scientists, and the scientific method. You enjoy the benefits of other scientific discoveries without batting an eye, but start pointing fingers at scientists when it comes to weapons. I'm sorry to say, but that is hypocrisy at it's finest.
Everything God created is good, we only have problems because most people don't want to reason with God's word.
Wilgrea7:
I'm curious. What does the word "create" mean to you? Since when did protector and creator mean the same thing? What makes something a creator, is very simple. Creating. Taking care of the creation is a choice. Not a requirement for being a creator.
Keep lying to yourself. So it sounds logical to you that a sane person will CREATE but forget the creation without protecting his work shey? smiley
Wilgrea7:
A mother can give birth to a child, and put the child up for adoption. Or even straight up abandon the child. That doesn't negate the fact that she is the mother.

No sane human abandon her child when she's OK financially and physically without nothing scaring her.

I won't even stress. You completely ignored my point about working your way backwards from the answer, and here you are doing it again. You're trying to prove the existence of a supreme being, from the bible, based on what the bible says about what a supreme being is supposed to be? How exactly does this whole thing work out logically for you?
Present another God and whatever the deity has done. Do you think it's just coincidental that all other Gods were SILENCED and swept under the carpet when the God of Abraham is known globally.

Why do I keep doing this to myself? Anyways
Last time I checked, electrical companies don't go door to door asking people if they have electrical problems in their home. You should really think about the analogies you use before you use them.
Thanks to social media they do go from door to door to convince people about their services, that's how they started back then!
Wilgrea7:
1) Refer to point above.
2) Do you understand the meaning of being peaceful? Or are you going to try to reinterpret it here again. To be peaceful means to avoid violence, or war. That's the simple basic definition. And many people, as well as groups, satisfy that category. Nowhere in the dictionary, is it stated that part of the requirements for being peaceful, involves going to knock on people's door to try to convert them to your religion.
Please, I'm begging you. Stop.. Twisting ... Things.
So you relied on what the dictionary says shey? Well that's why you can't find any group making peace work like JWs because a stitch in time saves nine. We take the step to make peace not keeping it all to ourselves expecting it to work!
Wilgrea7:
Shifting the goalpost as usual. You made the claim that the sole reason why people worshiped a God/Gods was for peace and protection. I showed you how that's false, and that people have worshiped gods for far more reasons. Now you're giving analogy of direct access and whatnot. Man... I just can't with you.
That's the truth collectively people worship God for peace and security but individually each person have different reasons!
Wilgrea7:
No offence. But the more this discussion goes on, the more I question whether or not you have access to google. What kind of a racist narrative are you trying to push here? I won't even try to argue for something like this.
You have no excuse for sure!
Wilgrea7:
Playing the numbers game is one of the worst arguments you can make for your faith. Regardless of your recruitment tactics, the number of followers you have has no bearing on whether your belief is true or not. The total population of muslims far outnumbers JWs. By that logic, they are more true than you. It's a really basic, and flawed thing to even say.
It's not about quantity but quality!
What is the purpose of Islam?
Nothing but bowing to the black stone in Mecca.
JWs are to gather peacelovers throughout the earth and so far so good they've erased politics, weapons and military services from the hearts of their members globally.
So they're doing exactly what their God promised! Isaiah 2:2-4
Wilgrea7:
Truth, is truth. Irrespective of the number of people who accept it. You're shooting yourself in the foot here.
Truth doesn't have a match so go to anywhere you can't find anything like the truth in Christ Jesus. What is the purpose of all other religions? Jesus is the Prince of Peace {Isaiah 9:6} and his disciples must be found in all the nations of the earth {Act 1:8} though they're not much compare to false religions but their work will be felt globally! Matthew 5:14-16 smiley

I asked the questions because I know that JW are in both Russia and Ukraine. Because it seemed you don't mind if Russia decided to annex Ukraine, so I asked:

As far as you are concerned, it is okay if Russia demand that Ukraine be annexed to their country.

Would it be okay if Ukraine also demand that Russia be annexed into their country?

If both is okay: how do you resolve the problem?
The highlighted is what you should meditate upon thoroughly because if everyone in Russia and Ukraine are JWs no single person will lift up weapons against his fellowman!

As for resolving problems Jesus taught us not to wait for the problem to come before we take steps to confront it {Matthew 5:25} that's why God's word called him the world's most wonderful counselor of all time! Isaiah 9:6

We are his disciples and he's our King so whatever he says is our way of RESOLVING issues Sir! John 15:14 smiley

Where exactly did he get a wife? Why did the Bible not make mention of other people?
According to the Bible Adam and Eve had sons as well as daughters {Genesis 5:7} God only inspired the writers to mention the males, for instance Jesus had four brothers whose names were mentioned by two gospel writers but how many sisters or their names were excluded! Matthew 13:55; Mark 6:3

So when a female is mentioned it's because something significant happened, for example Jacob's 12 sons were known throughout the Bible but do you know that Jacob also had daughters? Well he had it was when one of them (Dinah) was raped by a Canaanite (Shechem) that her name sufficed! Genesis 34:1-2

Thanks for showing interest in our book, your book, God's word: the Bible

God bless you and may you have PEACE! smiley

Most of you guys do profess faith in Jesus of Nazareth but when issues having to do with his teachings comes up you quickly trash his sayings! Matthew 15:7-8

Today Russian citizens whose sons and daughters have died in the war are crying and protesting against their own government. So who is deceiving who?
My friend the problem is politicians deceiving you people making you feel they're fighting for your good whereas all they're interested in is their ambitions.
Russia annexed Ukraine, Ukraine annexed Russia. What's the business of a true disciple of Christ whose mind is focused on God's Kingdom? Matthew 5:38-42
Please there's no problem as long as God's Kingdom is yet to come all human governments are evil whether they speak your mother tongue or Ànàgó! smiley

El Elohe Yahshrael!

1 Corinthians 5:11 But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister[c] but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people.

Ephesians 5: 3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for YHVH's holy people. 4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. 5 For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of YHVH.

El Elohe Yahshrael! Hallelu YAH!
It has nothing to do with COMMANDMENTS.
Under the new heavenly government those things will not be permitted so whoever is used to such practices should start fighting really hard against the desires of the flesh now {Galatians 5:19-21} so as to put on the new personality that's fitting as a citizen of God's Kingdom {Ephesians 4:22-24} because failure to do so means destruction for practicers of such acts! undecided

Ukraine did not invade Russia. It's the opposite.
Even till today, Ukraine has not fired one bullet into Russia.
Ukraine has not made any demand from Russia except to be left alone.
In 2014, Russia took Cremia and annexed it to Russia and Ukraine did not fight back to reclaim it.
So, who is the bad person here?
None is good or bad as far as i'm concerned, as long as they're all humans having rulers over them. Whether Russia or Ukraine both meant countries where humans rule over them.
Ukraine was never part of Russia. Ukraine was part of the former Soviet Union with Russia as the capital. They speak different languages.

I guess you were this simplistic about the issues because your little understanding of the historical bond between Russia and Ukraine.
They were both together before shey? So what's the difference nah? undecided
Let me simplify the problem for you.
Scenario ONE:
Boko Haram seized the Government power and demanded that henceforth
1. All Muslims pay zero tax
2. All Christians pay 60% tax
3. No more religious gathering of whatever form except at the Masjid on Fridays
What will you do?
Bokoharam are humans under God
Scenario TWO:
Because of Governments complicit action with "bandits", they randomly enter Christian homes at random and perform havocs from stealing, rape, kidnap and demand heavy ransom.
Will you prepare to defend yourself in case the bandits come to your house?
Bandits are humans under God
Scenario THREE:
You are the President of Nigeria, would you disband the Army, Police and all who carry arms?
Thank you
You just keep complicating issues!
Neither Russia nor Ukraine represent any form of religious group so the case remains 100% political. If Ukrainians become Russians it's the same treatment Russians will get as well as Ukrainians under that government.

You should have said America came and demand that Nigeria becomes one of their states so that our leaders will be under American government, the same treatment as Americans are experiencing over there.
Whoever picks up weapons in support of either side is not fighting a just course from the standpoint of Jesus Christ of Nazareth the same way the military intelligence will view the matter because whether blacks or whites you will still remain a subject (citizen)
I am a Christian so i can't be the president of any country, whoever wants to rule should go there and perform whatever he feels all i know is that things will continue to get worse until God's Kingdom comes to wipe all human governments away! Daniel 2:44 smiley
