Most of the stories in the old testament were allegorical. Come on, anyone with a brain can see the similarities between Samson, Heracles and Hercules.
That's what Satan wants you to think so you won't pick interest in what God promised and be saved!

All those events really happened but if you don't believe it's OK i do! smiley

LordShiva97:
Wise counsel that promotes and advocates love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, gentleness, faith, mildness and self-control can be found in the sacred texts of most major religions and you can't argue that these writings are the words of the same god. Can you see the problem now??
The highlighted is the greatest lie ever told on this planet! smiley

Though you may be confused if you're not really observant but that's the truth.
A first century Jewish carpenter who later became a preacher once said:

"By their fruits you will recognize them. Never do people gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles, do they? Likewise, every good tree produces fine fruit, but every rotten tree produces worthless fruit. A good tree cannot bear worthless fruit, nor can a rotten tree produce fine fruit" Matthew 7:16-18

I know you can't easily figure out what this man meant but i am one of his disciples so let me guide you.

Each religion will present their teachings and claim it's meant to achieve those nine qualities but you don't need to worry or argue, just allow people to apply it practically then watch out for the organization of imperfection humans in whose gathering all these nine qualities will be exhibited.

Note that no single individual can master these qualities but those using the word of the true God will successfully achieved it in their gathering! Isaiah 2:2-4

Ever8090:
Though sometimes it is hard to believe in him especially when it gets tougher, but you don't have to quit. Keep trusting and praying, he will surely come trough for you.
Mine situation is soo tough at the moment, when I say tough, I mean real tough. But I am still praying and believing that God will surely show up.
CaIt is not easy, but never going to give up on him even to the grave!!
Trust comes to mind when someone promise you something so you have to TRUST (BELIEVE) what the person says even when it seems not possible.
So trusting in God is good but the irony of this is that most people are just pigheaded in their beliefs because God only promised us all a life without end (everlasting life) not some greedy stuffs where you will be expecting the true God to make you rich while others become your slaves, such only comes from Satan the devil who promotes the works of the flesh! Galatians 5:19-21

So if you're trusting in God's promise of a kingdom where everyone will have the best of life then never loose hope {Habakkuk 2:3; Psalms 67:6-7} but if it's the other way around where some will slave for you to live like a King then know that such promises are from demons not the true God! smiley

What convince millions now living that God's word truly exist in the midst of countless words ever recorded and heard!

There are many words written by humans who have heard dealings with the supernaturals, since it's not all of us that has such experience it's difficult for many (mostly those who never experienced such) to agree that words do come from the spirit world. First of all there are many creatures around us and even though we know that parrots do talk it's the language it's familiar with that it can speak not all languages. But when it comes to spirits we may find it really hard to believe that there are some invisible forms of life that are also intelligent in fact much more intelligent than humans so what's the proof that such things exist?
In all the cultures and traditions globally people always have what is called voodooism which is spiritistic practices. Well since many of us are selfish we may be only interested in what we can gain from these beings after all they are supernaturals. But the truth of the matter is that they're not interested in giving anyone what will do us real good except just one out of all these spirits.
So while all others do play along with selfish humans pretending to be kind and generous the one and only spirit who claims to be the Creator of all things is only interested in our wellbeing. That is why he sets standards for us as the Creator and landlord of the planet we live in. Through His words we can learn how to cohabit peacefully and enjoy the best of life but all other spirits are only interested in one thing: WORSHIP and nothing more!

To illustrate, imagine a firm where there are lots of workers like the admin staffs, production, qualities assurance, cleaners and the management. If you walk into such a place it may be difficult for you to IDENTIFY the CEO just by sight but when you carefully observe the way and manner they relate with one another you will surely figure out who owns the investment. Because even though some workers may be diligent at work while others are only doing eyeservice but the sole investor will never like his company to run down. So everyone will be serious in handling their assigned duties anytime he is around.
WHY? Because each person knows that all the regulations are set up to keep the business going and the CEO will be interested in seeing to it.

Now think of all the words ever written, heard or recorded as "God's word" where can we find wise counsel that will promote LOVE, JOY PEACE, PATIENCE, GOODNESS, GENTLENESS, FAITH, MILDNESS and SELF-CONTROL among fellow humans?
Or do you think the world won't be a Paradise if 70% of the world's population are working towards those nine qualities?

I said 70% because our little ones may need to learn how to cultivate those qualities from the grown-ups in the society! smiley

Ubenedictus:
As I told you the entire chapter are admonitions to people
15 “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them.
these are the few first verses of that chapter, he
7 “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
6 “Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
they are admonitions to people! and nothing there mentions religious organisations please stop doing violence to scripture just to claim so dominance for your group
In each of those verses he is talking to his group as a whole not any individual:

Verse one-five is telling his group not to be judgmental AMONG themselves because they are all imperfect so they should look for ways to assist one another when the need arises not thinking of how to judge one another.
Verse six is about worldly politicians who don't have any interest in God's Kingdom, the people are like wild beasts {Revelations 17:12} false religions will have illicit affairs with politicians and in the end the politicians will tear down false religious organizations {Revelations 17:16} that's why Jesus warned his own organization not to have such dealings with worldly politicians because we are not on the same page with them! John 17:14; 18:36

It's OK if you disagree at least both of us agree that God's word is the ultimate even though we have different interpretation.
So continue worshiping your God while we also worship ours! smiley

There are thousands of quotes recorded and we believe they're words from people we don't know facially and in most cases we see pictures of the one who uttered what is quoted, we never heard them say it yet we agreed that the quoted words protruded out of the person's mouth!

So all the quotes recorded in books regarding ancient men must be false if we never heard them say it because the words were recorded and rewriting over and over again until we read it.

The only reason to believe in quotes is if such quotes WORKS out BENEFITS afterward that's when the speaker should be respected and regarded as wise!

The title GOD connotes SUPREME BEING which means anytime this person offer counsel or advice it will forever be the best of all times!

So apart from events that only supernaturals can perform God's word should be timely always no need for updates unlike men's words that's coming from humans like you and i! smiley

LordShiva97:
Yes, I prefer you respond with your own words. You do realize it's highly problematic and illogical to claim your scriptures is God's word using words from the same scriptures? It's like using the Bible to prove that the Bible is true or God's words. That is circular logic at it's best.
You're very funny o!

So you don't want to use what is written in the Bible to authenticate the Bible, shey?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm that's smart though but then only true Christians can do that not churchgoers because it's when you have digested what your religion teaches that you'll be able to convince others without first making references to the book belonging to your religion.

Well if you're ready for what you're demanding i am Maximus one of Jehovah's Witnesses and i can prove to you logically that only the Bible is the true word of God, in fact it's you that will later demand that i should correlate what i'm saying with the Bible after seeing how logical and reasonable it is! smiley

My brother, this is where I surrender. Killing others for your conviction is evil, and if anyone is going to get killed, don't offer yourself.
The way you are going, it's making human sacrifice available for the hopeful killer to fulfill all righteousness. I can't go further with that ooo.
Happy weekend to you.
All you need to do is ask thought provoking questions about salvation not living now when death is still inevitable! Matthew 10:28

Nobody wish to be killed but whether we live or die it must be to God's glory in Christ Jesus our Lord {Romans 8:35-39} So we will try as much as possible to avoid trouble with Satan's agents {Proverbs 17:14} but don't forget that Satan knows Jesus' real followers and he's angrily targeting us! Revelations 12:17 smiley

May I ask you a question sir?

Why was jesus violent to those that turned the house of God into a place of buying and selling?

Why did jesus use whip on them?
In the first century the temple in Jerusalem is the most precious thing Jews have because it's the only place where pure worship is offered on planet earth. Samaritans also built another temple in Samaria so they thought worship offered there is equally approved by the God of Abraham just as the temple in Jerusalem.
WHY?
Because all of them are Israelites.
But then Jews always insist that it's only in Jerusalem that people can worship God acceptably {John 4:20} so when a Samaritan woman who really love God from the heart asked Jesus his own opinion on the matter Jesus said:

“Believe me, woman, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, because salvation begins with the Jews. Nevertheless, the hour is coming, and it is now, when the true worshippers will worship the Father with spirit and truth, for indeed, the Father is looking for ones like these to worship him. God is a Spirit, and those worshipping him must worship with spirit and truth.” John 4:21-24

Note Jesus' passionate comment regarding the temple worship in Jerusalem, only Jews worship offered inside the temple in Jerusalem have God's approval!

So Jesus will not allow that pride to be trashed just because some Jews wants to carry out their normal business! John 2:17 compare to Psalms 69:9

All Jews agree that the place wasn't meant for business but worship so nobody had the nerve to challenge Jesus because they all knew he did the right thing. So instead of fighting this man they questioned him:

On whose authority are you doing this?
Disturbing the business carried out in the temple by our religious leaders who are the custodians of the law! Mark 11:27-28

Of course they knew that Jesus' action is just.
But you can't do the same when those in question don't believe the same thing with you.
Jesus and those Jews are under the same rule which is God's law but in this case those you're thinking of fighting don't know what they are doing {Luke 23:34} so Jesus won't fight back neither did he teach us to fight those who don't agree on the same line of thought under the same arrangement! Matthew 26:52

May you have PEACE! smiley

Power comes from God, "the heart of the king is in the hands of God". If God don't dabble in politics, He's uninterested in the affairs of men. If He so hate the world, why is He interested in saving it? God gave us the freedom, we can do as we please, but we're accountable to Him in the end. Even if Nigeria is a secular state, you don't have to run a country without equity and justice, which is the nature of God. He's a fair God, He makes His sun to shine on the just as much as the crooked. God is not only in the word God, He's in doing the "Right" thing because He's righteous God. All our righteousness is like filthy rag before Him. That notwithstanding, "righteousness exalts a nation, sin is like a reproach unto a people. Let's retain God in our hearts pertaining to our country abeg.
This is where WISDOM comes into place my friend. Pharaoh of Egypt was allowed to test and see who is the true God but the Bible says "God hardened Pharaoh's heart" if you're not reading with meditation you will think God is purposely directing Pharaoh to do evil and at the same time sending Moses to warn Pharaoh. So you need understanding Sir!

Of course God permits humans to endeavor in what Satan told them in the beginning that they can successfully rule themselves independently {Genesis 3:5} but God is never pleased with humans ruling over humans that's why Samuel was displeased when the Israelites demanded for a human King like all other nations! 1Samuel 8:6

Human government will never favour humans {1Samuel 8:10-22} in fact their rulership will bring pains and discomfort! Ecclesiastes 4:1; 8:9

So don't think God approves human government NO! He only allowed it for humans to have a taste of the consequences of rebellion! smiley

God place the government there to protect you. Don't make God a maigaurd by putting those who can't guarantee relative safety of life and property in elective positions.

You recently extolled the Americans, you said it plays to God's plan for the jw organization, is it a crime if your country does the same thereby making it conducive for security of life and prosperity and piety?

How long are you going to keep running? If the Americans were not taking responsibility for their security, would the people you claim to be 6 established religion ever allow brother Russell to put off the fire in hell?

It's a sin to underutilize what God has given you only to start crying to him again that one bully n the street is tormenting you. Yet when opportunity presents itself you want to enjoy the peace that worldly organization offers.

You like to reap where you did not sow.

Oh sorry bro, I thought it's my Jehovah witness brother on my mention again grin grin grin
The problem is lack of knowledge! Hosea 4:6

God set up that nation (Israel) to establish and protect pure worship (not life and properties) the reason is because Satan knew very well that if God could achieve the purpose of getting faithful people throughout the earth and organize them as one family then all his game is up. Satan's system is to stop that from happening so that each human will be free from restraint just as he told Eve in the garden of Eden! Genesis 3:4-5

When people read about how God supported Israel to conquer and destroy other nations most people do think wars has been justified but it's a pity you only read the stories you don't meditate at all. For your information if an Israelite should go against pure worship the same thing God did to those pagan nations will be done to such an Israelite! Deuteronomy 13:6-9

So if anyone back then wants God's protection along with pure worship the only safe place on this planet back then is the land of Israel because Satan will not allow pure worship to flourish anywhere. That's why God is using the Israelites to protect pure worship and backing them up with His might.

America is the only nation that declared FREEDOM of SPEECH, EXPRESSION, WORSHIP and ASSOCIATION. Note that they don't know how they arrive at that but it's Satan who wants to use them to promote all sort of immorality because to some extent people are still trying to live by conscience but with what Satan is setting up "DEMOCRACY" decadence will be faster and by the time Jesus will come to organize people for salvation it will be difficult when morality has been buried totally.
That's why all sort of immorality like prostitution, gay, lesbianism and many more is free in America. But Satan shot himself in the foot!
HOW?
His plan was to make things difficult for Jesus who is returning for the spiritual harvest Satan doesn't want Jesus to get any living soul with that plan even after Satan has made sure that the type of FAITH Jesus established in the first century has been buried. Luke 18:8
Unknowingly to Satan, by the time America declared FREEDOM of SPEECH, EXPRESSION, WORSHIP and ASSOCIATION faithful people also will be free to make research and find out what exactly should Christians be doing!

That is exactly what happened as a man named Charles Taze Russell and his team began making research to find out what Christianity is all about. Due to Satan's system of freedom the orthodox churches can't stop Russell and his team from unraveling all their dirty secrets like the teaching of immortality of the soul, Trinity, HellFire and so on. Before then whoever speaks against these teachings will be arrested and executed LAWFULLY unlike what some Muslims are doing today the church had the right under the law to execute anyone that speak against their teachings!

So Russell and his team did a lot of job until his death in 1916, immediately Satan decided to kill that movement after the death of Charles. Critics emerged among the group and began protesting against the reforms Jesus is using this group to accomplish. Within just few months the same America that has declared FREEDOM of SPEECH, EXPRESSION, WORSHIP and ASSOCIATION sentenced the groups loyal leaders to prison in 1916 on the charges of blasphemy but Satan has already lost the battle because the declaration had been made so what is blasphemy again under FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION? So by the year 1919 the court discovered that if a group of men are imprisoned over religious charges when they never caused any physical harm then their declaration of freedom of speech, expression, worship and association holds no water.
So the group was released!
The most shocking event is that immediately these men were released they spontaneously went into action again, but this time around they're taking the campaign against falsehood to every home just as Jesus commissioned it back then in the first century! Revelations 9:1-11
People were visited in their homes by members of these group and before you know it they're taking the truth to other nations where the orthodox churches of Christendom still enslave people under false teachings.
America was forcing all nations to embrace freedom of speech, expression, worship and association so the group was making progress swiftly throughout the earth with the exemption of Arabic speaking nations where there's no such freedom.
That's why Islamic nations today are against America because they think America is trying to rule over them with style.

So if someone tells you that true Christianity has been killed in the second century only to resurrect in 1919 with that group of course you will be surprised because there were religions claiming denominations of Christianity before 1919 but we're they PRACTICING what Jesus laid down? NO!

No religion on this planet was practicing what Jesus taught after the death of all the Apostles in the second century not until Jesus returned in the year 1914 to restructure his group and gave them freedom to start the harvest work!

For your information, you may have read about TWO WITNESSES that were killed and later resurrected never to die again {Revelations 11:3-13} well the two Witnesses represents the 144,000 anointed brothers of Christ and the great crowd working with them.
These two groups disappeared after some time in the second century so that nobody felt their activities globally not until 1919 when they reappear and precisely 12 years later God began calling them by another name to distinguish between them and false religions claiming Christians in the year 1931 God began calling them: JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES! Isaiah 65:15

The destruction of evildoers along with false religions is fast approaching so let anyone with listening ears take action now as Jesus is calling in the spirit realms saying:

“Get out of her, my people, if you do not want to share with her in her sins, and if you do not want to receive part of her plagues. For her sins have massed together clear up to heaven, and God has called her acts of injustice to mind. Repay her in the way she treated others, yes, pay her back double for the things she has done; in the cup she has mixed, mix a double portion for her. To the extent that she glorified herself and lived in shameless luxury, to that extent give her torment and mourning. For she keeps saying in her heart: ‘I sit as queen, and I am not a widow, and I will never see mourning.’ 8 That is why in one day her plagues will come, death and mourning and famine, and she will be completely burned with fire, because Jehovah God, who judged her, is strong". Revelations 18:4-8

Dear MaxinDHouse
U know ur church on several occasions has come with different predictions and also changed them themselves...from 1875 till 1965 wen ur elders decided to jettison anything prediction...
But I guess u don't read about ur church history,it's setbacks,claims and counterclaims...
Just a summary of "A BUILDING BUILT ON A FAULTY FOUNDATION"...
But don't let me go into that...if u talk anytin about 1919 again...I will make sure u proof it. 1919 my foot.
If you don't believe in my post definitely you don't believe in Jesus of Nazareth because Jesus said after he has sown the fine seeds Satan later came to sow weeds in Jesus' farm {Matthew 13:24-25} the Christians were not allowed to force Apostates (Satan's agents) out of the congregation {Matthew 13:29} so that children born in the congregation may not loose their salvation due to their Apostate parents. So both the fine seeds and weeds are allowed to continue growing.
Any farmer knows that if such should happen the seeds will be choked to death because weeds will overpower the fine seeds. So for the parable to go that way then it means any observer will not see the seed at all by the time both are allowed to grow together!

So when i said "true Christianity disappeared in the first century and reappear in 1919" WHY NOT ASK ME TO PROVE IT?

Jesus commanded his disciples to go from house to house {Matthew 10:11-13} not making noise in the street! Matthew 12:19

He instructed them never to fight against their enemies {Matthew 26:52} and always pray for their enemies! Matthew 5:43-48

Jesus won't pray with anyone unless you're ready to live by his teachings {John 17:8-9} because God's word says we shouldn't pray on behalf of disobedient or rebellious humans! Proverbs 28:9 compare to Jeremiah 11:14

Christians mustn't partake in politics because our hope is in God's Kingdom where Jesus will be our King so neither Jesus nor his disciples had anything to do with worldly politics! John 6:15; 17:14; 18:36

They mustn't go about with religious titles {Matthew 23:8-10} so in the public true Christians are known as Mr Peter or Paul but within the gathering of fellow believers they're honoured as anointed ministers! 2Corinthians 11:23

All these disappeared in the second century only to reappear in 1919 when Jehovah's Witnesses organization (known back then as the International Bible Students Association) began taking this shape again!

From 1919-2019 they have gathered millions throughout the earth using what God's word says to erased politics, racism and military services from their hearts! Isaiah 2:2-4

For your information that's what the Christ is expected to produce with Christianity {Matthew 5:14-16; 7:16-18} so that people from different races throughout the earth can worship the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob shoulder to shoulder {Zephaniah 3:9} with the same line of thought! John 17:22 compare to 1Corinthians 1:10

I didn't force anything on you, maxindhouse. I responded to what you said.
Read, meditate and choose what wisely, exactly?
It's either you put faith in the Mosaic laws {Luke 18:18-21} or put faith in Jesus whose laws differs from what's in the Mosaic laws! Luke 18:22-23 smiley

In the name of God has given men power right from time immemorial, you see, religion usually start with the lowly then grow to become a weapon of the mighty
No!
Jesus' real followers were intimidated to the core and by the end of the second century Christianity disappeared on planet earth only to reappear again in the year 1919!

Thanks! smiley

I think the scripture says pay no one evil for evil but repel evil with good
The time to prove your faithfulness in Jesus is now, if you want to be on Jesus' side you must decide now.

Jesus revealed to John that during the end time all religions under Satan's control will be carried away with the wind Satan blew in the air which is wiping out humanity completely {Revelations 6:3-4} Jesus even told us that if not for the Born Again Christians no human will remain on planet earth when Satan launch the campaign globally! Matthew 24:22

We're gradually getting there when all false religious leaders will be blinded by Satan's darkness {Joel 2:31; Act 2:20} that will cover the sky spiritually and nobody will see the light except just one group: Real Born Again brothers of Christ that will be feeding Jesus' real followers globally! Matthew 24:45

So by the time Satan has finished with the master plan to carry the whole world into destruction along with him those feeding from the spiritual table of Jesus' brothers will be separated from Satan's agents! Revelations 18:4

Today all religionists in the world will be asked to pick up their weapons and fight either in support of their religion or protect themselves {Revelations 6:3-4} but Jesus' real earthly subjects will never pick up weapons for any reason whatsoever {Matthew 26:52} they will not allow Satan's wind to carry them away by surprise! John 15:14

Thanks for reminding us the words of our Master, Lord and King Christ Jesus in this time when billions claiming Christians are ignoring Christ's orders and ready to obey the teachers they chose for themselves! 2Timothy 4:3

God bless you and may you have PEACE! smiley

I can't agree with you more dear brother. Nevertheless, everything is in the hands of the almighty God to conclude.

Thanks for sharing sound doctrines of the Jehovah witnesses. God bless you and all of us together.
Those turning away their ears from righteousness will be ignored! Proverbs 28:9

But

Blessed are those hearing the word of God and acting positively on it! Luke 11:28

May you have PEACE!

What is the usefulness of the research that's not profitable/benefitial to the researcher?

Whenever they say they're making research on anything i laugh because their unending research is neither profitable to them or their neighbours. So what's the essence? smiley

And your years of research has not provided evidences of Jewish scholars and historians unanimously denying the existence of Jesus Christ.

Pitiable waste of effort.

At the end you are waiting for him to convert what you covet over to you, being his friends.
Everyone can become Jesus' friend by doing exactly as he commanded {John 15:14} but as for all those shouting his name up and down claiming they're worshiping him {Matthew 5:8} it's a pity that Jesus will deny them because God's will is for us to OBEY Jesus' command not worship him! Matthew 7:21-23


May you have PEACE! smiley
