Smile.....so you're waiting for KJV cheesy grin cheesy grin grin
You didn't attempt any of my questions above, why?
Does the word ARCH mean CHIEF?
Does the word PRINCES mean ANGELS?
Since you're "ONE OF JEHOVAH WITNESSES" does that mean YOU'RE the Only Jehovah witnesses?
You need to read more on how DEFINITE ARTICLE "THE" is used in a sentence.
But that's what Daniel 10:13 says cheesy grin cheesy grin cheesy
By answering my question above, we'll see if Michael is ONE OF ARCHANGELS or not cheesy grin cheesy grin
This your line doesn't work on me you that, if you want to hold onto what you belief, you should have stayed in your hall and not coming to faceless forum to rant grin grin cheesy grin cheesy
I don't know what else you want but i'll assure you that if you can't bear facts there's no reason looking for someone upon whom you want to pour your frustration.

If you can't find the KJV use ARCH for any other angel then it simply means there's none other than Michael but should you insist on your own understanding i'm OK please present the WORKS of your FAITH! James 2:18-26 smiley

This your analogy is off point because my point isn't centered on the definite article "THE" but the phrase "ONE OF THE CHIEF..." grin cheesy grin cheesy cheesy
Scam alert! This is a division tactics cheesy grin cheesy grin cheesy
Daniel 10:13 is also with the definite article THE "One of THE..." so all Archangels have that.
It's evident that ALL Archangels are with that definite article "THE"
That's not the point, the point is Micheal isn't the ONLY ARCHANGEL according to that Daniel 10:13 cheesy grin cheesy grin cheesy
Now look at the @underlined, isn't it intellectual dishonesty to classify Gabriel as "ONE OF THE PRICES..." but remove the CHIEF? cheesy grin cheesy grin cheesy cheesy
So is Gabriel THE ONLY PRINCE here? cheesy grin cheesy grin
He has shot himself on the foot grin grin grin grin
Truth is starring at you there.
Nobody needs this long Story sir wink cheesy wink cheesy wink
You're still lying @underlined.
Micheal isn't ONLY THE ARCHANGEL
According to Daniel 10:13
Arch = Chief
princes = Angels
Will it be appropriate to render that Daniel 10:13 as "Lo Michael, ONE of the Archangels came to help me..."?
The center point here is about ONE AMONG OTHERS
Just as you're ONE OF THE JEHOVAH WITNESSES and doesn't make you the ONLY JWS. cheesy grin cheesy grin cheesy
Let the KJV render the word ARCH as CHIEF first Sir, i am one of Jehovah's Witnesses and i never call myself THE Jehovah's Witness because i know that there many WITNESSES of JEHOVAH but the scriptures never called Michael one of the ARCHANGELS.
So if you can't show me in your KJV it's OK hold onto what you want to believe while i hold onto mine! wink

I never condemned hospitals, all i'm saying is that building schools and hospitals is not the assignment Jesus gave his disciples!
So if people build hospitals it's like people who build cars, aeroplanes, telephones, electricity, televisions and computers , of course that doesn't make them followers of Christ simply because they claims to be Christians nah! cheesy

Learn.....
When under inspiration John wrote:

"In THE beginning was THE Word, and THE Word was with God, and THE Word was God"

Why don't you conclude that there were many more WORDS of God?
Isn't it clear that using "THE" signify the only ONE?
Beginning took place ONCE so the word is ONE person also. Now that Jude under inspiration wrote:

"THE Archangel" not "AN archangel" you want to change facts shey?

Well there are many angelic sons close to the father in heaven and Michael is the foremost of them all that's why Daniel referred to him as the great Prince {Daniel 12:1} and Isaiah called him the Prince of Peace {Isaiah 9:6} because only Michael is cool headed unlike the others.

We can see that when God sent Gabriel (one of the Princes) to Zechariah inside the most holy inside the temple. Gabriel revealed his personality telling the man that he is the angel who is standing before God Almighty {Luke 1:19} then Gabriel out of provocation told Zechariah that he will not be able to speak again until what he revealed to him happens! Luke 1:20

But why did this angelic Prince strike the man with dumbness?

Well it's because no human enters the most holy apart from the high priest in Israel so for Zechariah to have seen a man in that place it means such a man is not ordinary but an angel. So because Zechariah doubted this powerful spirit being he cursed Zechariah and made him dumb!

No wonder Jehovah sent Michael (Jesus) the most cool headed angel to come and deliver us because any nonsense from a human could provoke an angel sent to help you but from the onset Michael love humans most out of all the creatures God used him to create in the beginning! Proverbs 8:31

So he alone is THE Archangel and there's no other, that's why Daniel revealed that this same Michael is the Prince that's standing for our salvation despite all our sins {Daniel 12:1-3} no other angel can go through all what Jesus suffered in the hands of the creatures he wants to save! Hebrews 12:3 smiley

That's why I do say you lack scriptural knowledge. cheesy grin cheesy grin

The word translated as ARCH means "FIRST, CHIEF"

But in Daniel 10:13 "One of the CHIEF PRINCES..."

Meaning there are MANY CHIEF/ARCH princes

You must learn cheesy grin cheesy grin
So there's no other angel called the archangel throughout the Bible except Michael.

Leader of Catholic church and the leader of the Russian Orthodox church have just met for the first time in about 1000 years, after the Schism. Is there any chance of a reunification of the two largest churches?
We'll continue to pray.

See Link -
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-35565085
Both religion are political so peace can never reign in their gathering as leaders of both will not submit to each other.
What most people don't know is that when each is looking for ways to establish his own position the other person must submit to him before there can be peace and since politicians are interested in knowing who gains control over the masses it will never work out.
Do you know why some are sponsoring terrorists today? Well it's not because they believe in any God rather they're looking for ways to gain more votes and religion is a way of getting diehard supporters for such ambition hence any seeming obstacle they're ready to destroy even if it means killing people who may be supporting the opposition!

Please enlighten me, which Roman Emperor set up the Catholic Church?
After the death of the Apostles the Antichrist (individuals who wants to dominate others but aren't ready to submit to any order) emerged and disagreement erupted in their midst leading protests and fights. Constantine (a Roman Emperor) wanted his government to end the troubles so he called all the parties together and they formed a council. This council sat down and agreed on so many things which led to the birth of the Roman Catholic Church!

All the Apostles of Christ died miserably with the exception of John who was banished to the isle of Patmos after all attempt to kill him failed.

So it was this Roman Emperor that initiated the reform not for the love of Christ but for his own Empire to be strong as all parties agrees to unite under whatever they come up with.

Ever since then the Roman Catholic Church had the power to arrest anyone who raises any objection against what the council agreed upon. Constantine love this since the church is for the glory of Rome so armies will be dispatched to go and destroy any city where opposition against the church may be it is called the "CRUSADES" that is what lasted until the sixth century when Muhammad was born in Mecca. This fightings and killings in the name of God wasn't the intention of Muhammad but since that's what he found the Roman Catholic Church doing to convert people back then he adopted the system and started fighting to establish his own religion too!

Don't ask me jamb question if I am a Catholic or not, just address the problem before you
Rather than condemning why can't you advice your leaders in JW to build for you a hospital under the authority of JW instead of visiting the one that you said belongs to unbelievers and politicians from Europe
Please tell us the name of the hospital they visited with Bible reference?
Shey your own JW Bible in 1 Timothy 5:23 says Apostel Paul adviced Timothy to used Medicine abi? You have come again lying for JW as usual. Aswear Apostel Paul suppose give you dirty slap from grave you this liar
God's Holy Spirit never directs anyone to use medicine, stop turning Bible around you still bloody liar.. You are fond of lying why? Why would Holy Spirit that is divine gave instructions of using medicine to cure ailments, sickness and disease? From henceforth you should STOP LYING is that clear?
So I should follow your suit by condemning which is good for the betterment of your people in Abeokuta right? I am not an ENEMY OF A GOOD THING. Must I be a Catholic before I can say what is good about them? You are indeed a disgrace to humanity.. Tell your fellow members in yu your occultist JW including your elders in Abeokuta to stop patronizing them in Sacred Heart Hospital built by those you called Politicians from Europe you this ignorant boy
Let me enlighten you perhaps you don't know.

After the death of all the first century Jewish disciples of Christ a Roman emperor initiated what we know today as the Roman Catholic Church that's why this religion always claim to be the first church but later many people began protesting against this religion and they formed their own movement after lots of fightings and killings.
Till today the Catholic Church stands on their ground that all other religions claiming denominations in Christendom are rebels that protested against the Catholic Church.
So all your ranting makes no sense if you're not a member of the Roman Catholic Church!

What i'm saying is simple:
People building hospitals and schools aren't doing so for Jesus because that's not what Jesus taught his followers to go out there and do. But if building hospitals and schools makes the Roman Catholic Church true disciples of Christ as you've been arguing since then why aren't you a member of this so called GOOD church?wink

Feel free to explain what islam has done for Nigeria.
This is an attempt to hear the positive side of islam. Too many negative things have been said.
What benefits has islam brought to Nigeria?
This question seems simple but really it's really dicey as there is no religion on this planet that can't point to what they're doing in their own little way to contribute to the growth of development in the society. The religion may not work at it together but members of all Religions are involved in one good work or another.

One fact that's indisputable is what God said about His Holy Spirit which imperfect humans can never achieve without the spirit of God!

All sane humans have the desire to make life better for themselves and their fellowman but then this becomes difficult when there's no motivational force behind it. That's why people use material possessions and other things to woo followers into getting support for whatever idea they have.
But when it comes to what God promised it's God's active force (Holy Spirit) that will motivate people {Matthew 19:26} after hearing the message of God's Kingdom {Romans 10:14-15} that's why no religion apart from Jesus' real disciples can perform what Jesus taught {Matthew 7:17-18} because if the message is not about God's Kingdom nothing can motivate imperfect humans to willingly support their fellowman's agenda! Psalms 110:3 smiley

Thank u and yea i wanna know
Please i am a believer in the word of God so if truly you're interested in knowing then always try read all cited scriptures to be sure if what we are discussing is correct according to God's word! Act 17:11

Jesus Christ forewarned that there will be many false prophets (fake religionists claiming Christians with titles) {Matthew 7:15} and many unsuspecting individuals will follow them {Matthew 24:11} their teachings will be from demons {1Timothy 4:1} all those following them can't be saved! Matthew 7:13-14; 15:14

So we need to know the IDENTIFYING MARKS of Jesus' group! Matthew 7:16-18

[b] Mankind is worried over our present lives so everyone is desperately seeking ways to solve their problems and live meaningful lives but Jesus' true disciples are mostly concerned about God's Kingdom which he promised.
So they're not interested in worldly material possessions, degrees or careers! Matthew 6:22-24

They are known globally as lifetime preachers and teachers everywhere they live! Matthew 10:11-13; Act 1:8

They love their neighbours so politics or racism can't break the love they have for their neighbours! Mark 12:31

They don't participate in politics {John 6:15} because that's the strongest weapon Satan is using to turn people against their fellowman and kill without love! Revelations 6:3-4

They don't join in pagan traditions and festivals because that's Satan's means of controlling the world's economy to increase the price of food, clothes and other needs of humans! 1Corinthians 10:19-20

They have love among themselves so the whole world know that this group love their members no matter where you may come from! John 13:34-35 compare to Matthew 12:46-50

Due to being different all other religions hates them with passion! John 15:17-19

Many do call them Satanists or cultists just as Jesus was also called back then! Matthew 19:25

They don't participate in military services at all so you can't find their members in any military job! Matthew 26:52

According to the Bible God's Holy Spirit will gather these people from different races throughout the earth and make them use the Bible to settle all their racial disparities, divert their resources into production of food and information materials, stop the making, selling, buying and using of weapons and vow never to raise weapons against anyone again! Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3

They are in all the countries where politicians have permitted them to practice what Jesus taught them, though they also bear the group name "CHRISTIANS" that was borrowed from Antioch since the first century {Act 11:26} but after Jesus has returned to restructure their movement and they're performing up to expectation the true God began calling them by another name {Isaiah 65:15} today the world know them as JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES!

Feel free to as any question about them.

May you have PEACE! smiley

Good all,

I've made up my mind severally to be faithful to God and keep to His ways but i always find myself doing the opposite in no distant time.

I've made up my mind and i want clues from those whom have had same experiences but overcome.

Thank you and God bless as you help a brother back up to the ways that are right.
You are not alone!

Apostle Paul had the same issue {Romans 7:15-25} but he relied on Jesus' promise which is staying close to fellow believers in faith for encouragement to love and fine WORKS! Hebrews 10:24-25

So when Jesus promised his disciples that even though they have left so many things behind just for the love of God {Matthew 19:27} they will have hundred folds of brothers, sisters {Mark 10:30} because it's impossible to be saved {Mark 10:26} if one is just moving with the crowd {Matthew 7:13-14} so you need to IDENTIFY the gathering of true believers and start associating with them because Jesus promised that where faithful people gather he will be with them {Matthew 18:20} that means he will continue to guide them! Matthew 28:20

Do you want to know the group practicing true Christianity?
You'll be glad to find out many hidden secrets that most people don't know thinking they are Jesus' friend whereas he doesn't even know them at all! Matthew 7:21-23

God bless you and may you have PEACE! smiley

You missed the mark big time Sir! smiley

The main focus of CHRISTIANITY is to gather faithful people throughout the world, infuse in their heads the will of God which is settling all their racial disparities, diverting their resources into production of food and information materials, discouraging the making, buying, selling and use of weapons and vowing never to raise weapons against anyone again {Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3} so that faithful people throughout the world may worship in spirit and truth {John 4:24} as if they're standing next to a family member in faith {Zephaniah 3:9} having the same line of thought globally! John 17:22 compare to 1Corinthians 1:10

JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES are up to this task and the world can SEE it! Matthew 5:14-16

So their umbrellas, bags and magazines are tools which God's Holy Spirit has taught them just as Jesus promised {John 14:26} and the evidence that God's Holy Spirit is WORKING with them is the fruit of faith {Matthew 7:16-18} which is LOVE among fellow believers {John 13:34-35; 15:12-13} JOY in worshiping the true God {Luke 10:17} and PEACE among God's people! John 14:27

Ọmọ the three are the foremost indisputable qualities of God's Holy Spirit {Galatians 5:22} that's why there is no law you can think of against their achievements! Galatians 5:23 wink

This was how Jesus healed the sick, you claim to be the only true Christians, heal like this instead of going to the hospital that you go to today and you still have the effrontery to say those who established them are not doing the works of Christ because Jesus didn’t establish hospital.

Enough of the rambling, simply focus on what is asked abeg! undecided

So, again, How in-depth an understanding is necessary in order for the robot to obey the command stated below...undecided
The command already highlights what is good and what is evil... so how much more of an understanding of good and of evil is necessary for said robot to obey the simple command above? undecided
Both Adam and Eve surely knows what is good and what is evil what they wanted is not the knowledge but the fruit in itself.
When God said:

“Here the man has become like one of us in knowing good and bad" Genesis 3:22

It doesn't literally mean Adam doesn't know the difference between good and evil before then but something far more than that is involved!

To understand the message let's go back to what Satan said that interests Eve:

“You certainly will not die. For God knows that in the very day you eat from it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and bad.” Genesis 3:4-5

Four points are mentioned here:
They will not die!
Their eyes will be opened!
They will be like God!
They will know good and evil!

This is what it means!

[1] They will not expire as God said if they choose to become independent.
[2] They will no longer need God to direct them as if they're blind spiritually.
[3] They will become like God over all their descendants.
[4] They will be the ones to set standards for mankind in general.


All these is pointing to one thing POLITICS!

Once Adam and Eve liberate themselves from God's direction the two as the only couple on planet earth will become like Gods for later generations of mankind so instead of saying "this is what God (our invisible heavenly father) said from generations to generations we will all continue to look onto Adam and Eve as those who knows what is right and wrong.

Of course Satan lied to both of them because after they were driven out of the garden they both began growing weak, soon they became old and finally they expired. Again they never became Gods because Cain (their first son) killed Abel (his brother) both Adam and Eve who were so desperate to become like God couldn't do anything to Cain (the killer). Most of their descendants took after them so there was nothing like orderliness as each person feels like setting his/her own standard despite the fact that they know it's not going to work as they have to deal with fellow intelligent beings (humans) like themselves. Lastly Adam and Eve became irrelevant as their great-grandchildren moved to wherever they please and the first couple couldn't make any rules until they finally expired!

Today billions are still eating the forbidden fruit by their choice as they don't want to know what exactly is the standard God set for mankind, most just feel like doing whatever they like yet they will go out, choose rulers for themselves, protest against their rulers who are living like gods over them and sending them to kill one another for their own selfish interest as their political rulers or gods.
But the Almighty God will soon destroy all of them because no one has the right to set standards among mankind except God the rightful King who told Adam and Eve not to eat of the forbidden fruit! Psalms 82:6 smiley

Satan the devil!
There were many animals in the garden but the snake was the most cautious as in slow to act so Satan (a powerful spirit being) possessed this animal to speak with Eve.

After the curse on snakes Satan continued in his bid to mislead mankind and gradually the evil in him continue to increase until God's word now describe him as a dragon. This means that the evil in Satan has multiplied over the years! smiley

Christ did good by healing the sick, but your cult do evil by adding to peoples’ sickness by twisting the scriptures

You are against missionary establishing hospitals but you’re always going to attend to your health in the same hospital established by missionaries and others established by the schools they built.

You’re a hypocrite.

You talk about faith healing and rubbish hospitals they establish, yet you don’t use faith when you’re sick, you go to the hospital.

Rather than put your faith in God for healing as you claim, your cult has put their faith in science by sponsoring many researches in the medical field. Why not pray to God to make blood enough in your body rather than sponsoring researches on substitutes to blood transfusion O ye hypocrites!
First of all faith healing is not what Jesus taught us that's why he never cured all the sick in Israel, he only attended to those that comes his way to show them what God's Kingdom will do for those that gets there! Isaiah 33:24

Secondly hospitals are built to take care of sick people so anybody who feels the need can go there it has nothing to do with whether you share the same believe with the doctor or not.
Scientists who never believed in God are out there making research on deadly diseases and how to combat it, if your faith says you shouldn't approach them that's your own cup of coffee.

Lastly God's people aren't expecting cure in a miraculous way now because they knew that it's in God's Kingdom that such will be possible {Revelations 21:3-4} but as for man's health the Almighty God has provided herds of all kinds {Psalms 104:14} for mankind's use so those studying it are making research day and night to know it's usage {1Timothy 5:23} when God's Kingdom comes we will be inspired to know the use of all the vegetations around us in order to cure so many illnesses! Revelations 22:1-2

What i am telling you is that people building hospitals and schools aren't doing it for Jesus because that's not what Jesus commanded his disciples to go out there and do! wink

Christ encouraged us to do good. Hospital is a good place where the sick are taken care of, schools are citadel of learning. Without school, you won’t be able to read the scriptures today. So those two are good works, but your own work in JW is evil because you distort the scriptures and thereby kill your members and you also give fake prophecies, those are evil works of the devil!
Christ encouraged us to do good and he set the example because not all things that seems good to man do yield positive results! 1Corinthians 10:23

Pharisees, Sadducees, Scribes and other Jewish Rabbis built schools for the Jews back in the first century that's why they don't believe anyone who never attended their schools is learned but then when they come in contact with Jesus' disciples who never attended their schools they marvel at what a real teacher called Wonderful Counselor could do with common Jews! Act 4:13

The world today has grown pass what you think my friend, Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims and other well established religions are building schools and hospitals too but when it comes to the real fruit of God's Holy Spirit that Jesus said false religions can't produce none of these religions can produce it! Matthew 7:17-18

That's why i keep telling you that schools and hospitals aren't the good WORKS of FAITH that Jesus taught his disciples to go out there and do. So if your faith has built schools and hospitals but can't produce the WORKS of FAITH Jesus taught his disciples then such faith is DEAD! James 2:18-26 smiley

I’m not here to lecture you, after all you have been boasting that you jw are the only true Christians. But Christian means christ like and Christ never lied, or distorted the scriptures like you people do. So connect the dots and tell us if your cult is Christlike!
OK you want to dodge the truth again shey?

Well whether you're ready for the truth or not i still maintain that building schools and hospitals is not the assignment Jesus gave his disciples! wink

when I opened the
preface, it said: ‘This book was translated out of the original
tongues and it’s from a translation diligently compared and
revised by Her Majesty's Special Command King James,
appointed to be read in the church’. So, I see that book is not
for me. It’s for people who go to church. It’s a con”, in Genesis 1: ‘In the beginning, God created the heaven
and the earth and the earth was without form and void’, that
means there was nothing; ‘and darkness upon the face of the
deep and God said: ‘Let there be light and there was light and
there was light’”.
“Now, tell me something; where was that person who heard
God say: ‘Let there be light and there was light’? That means
he was there before God. That story is fictitious, not true”
Please read the Bible book of Proverbs 8:22-31

Then let's discuss afterwards, i'm one of His WITNESSES perhaps you and i can have a meaningful conversation about the topic! smiley

SharonLoveth:
The missionaries that built the said Hospital in your state are they politicians that supported the use of weapons?
"By their FRUITS you will know them" {Matthew 7:16} if they are true missionaries for the love of CHRIST, then all members of their religion (fruit) must not carry weapons against anyone {Matthew 26:52} that will help them to keep up with the law of Christ which says "love your neighbour as yourself" Mark 12:31 Catholics are killing Catholics and justifying it by politics, racism and military services as a Catholic in Russia will kill his brother in Ukraine and the same happens here in Africa as well. So their hospitals and Red Cross makes no sense if they can't stop members killing members with their mission!
SharonLoveth:
The second question is that how did they came with racism, politics and military services before building the said hospital for you, those that are working in the hospital are they white people if truly they came with racial discrimination?
“Be on the watch for the false prophets who come to you in sheep’s covering, but inside they are ravenous wolves" Matthew 7:15

Building hospitals is a show of mildness and goodwill but then their religion supports killing of neighbours due to racism, politics and military services. Do you think a Catholic member can think of Christ during times when his country has issues with another country?
NO! He/she will join the army and obey orders from politicians to kill their fellowman living in other countries despite the fact that he/she knows very well that Catholics are there too.
So their hospitals becomes useless because they're directly killing people while pretending to be saving them! 2Corinthians 11:14

That's why you need to find out what exactly did Jesus sent his disciples to go out there and do? Because that's what will help you identify false religions since a good tree can't produce routine fruit! Matthew 7:17-18

May you have PEACE! smiley
