PeaceJoyLove:Just speak for yourself, you can't decide for others, when they hear what is sound and appeals to their conscience they will agree and follow the right path! ![]()

Gagare1:Do you understand Jesus' words much more than his first century disciples? Because according to the account of Act of Apostles they never defended themselves from attacks, in fact they were all killed and there was no record of their use of weapons to defend themselves! Jesus' instruction that they should get purses, food and sword is something you need to be enlightened on what he meant so if you want to understand that part i'm here with you because according to that part the Apostles said they had TWO swords with them while Jesus said each of them should get his own sword, and they are ELEVEN in number. So how could TWO swords be enough for ELEVEN people when their master just told them each must have his personal sword? Well i am Maximus, one of Jehovah's Witnesses, if you're interested in knowing what Jesus meant in that place i can help you but if you're not interested no wahala! ![]()

PeaceJoyLove:Your problem is clear to any reasonable follower of this thread! Perhaps i should help you out where you need enlightenment, if you don't know what's happening here, this OP is questioning the sanity of the Bible's Author! Are you a believer (one who trust) the Bible? Do you believe God is right to curse Adam and Eve? Do you think there's any reason why God should curse them? Or Do you think the Author is unreasonable? So his question is posed for all who claims to believe (trust) in what is written in the Bible to speak up in support of this book (Bible) That's why each commentator is here to say something about the topic of discussion, and i made my own contribution without attaching it to any RELIGION. The question the other guy is asking you is why attacking me when it's just a contribution which could be right or wrong just like every other commentator on this thread? I never said anything about a group here but defending God's word as a Bible believer and instead of you to make your own contribution you are here typing trash. So are you in support of God's word or against it? Ọ̀DẸ̀, ÒPÒNÚ, OLÓDO! Ìṣe ilé ti báa yín dé gbangba! ![]()

Bukola94:She's just suffering from the injection of truth! The TRUTH of God's word is like an injection that once it enters into people's body they'll start reacting in a funny way. Those who are sincere will start shedding tears of joy that at last they've found the truth, others will feel deeply sorry for not grasping it in time! Act 2:37 But dishonest and wicked people will turn to rage looking for ways to hurt the person speaking the truth either to intimidate {Act 4:28; 5:28} or even to delete him from further utterances! Act 7:54-58 Note that both heard exactly the same narrative but their reaction totally differs! ![]() |
Truvelisback:Of course Jesus would have defended himself if not because he is the CHRIST so whoever is defending himself by taking up weapons against enemies is not a CHRISTian! Matthew 26:52 ![]() |
43Ronin:Jesus was the last true prophet who lived by the Old Covenant and introduce the New Covenant. Judaism was instituted by a Jewish sect called Pharisees after the return of Jews from exile. There was nothing called Judaism until after the Jews returned from Babylon that's why the adherents of this religion keep having serious issues with Jesus and his disciples because it has become adulterated religion not what the ancient servants of God practiced. So after Jesus' ascension to heaven the Holy Spirit anointed Jesus' disciples, this serves as a sign that God has chosen a new nation and everything the Jews were practicing in the temple has become null and void! Act 2:1-4 God has promised the Jews that He will pour out some of His spirit on those who kept His covenant to the end {Joel 2:28-30} but sadly by the time Messiah (Christ) will arrive Satan has really turned everything Moses and the prophets laid down upside down, that's why john told that sect pioneering Judaism inside God's temple: But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth, good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Matthew 3:7-10 Jesus continue pointing out the flaws in Judaism until he was finally killed by those judaists. His disciples were continually criticized in all the synagogues of Jews were Judaism is practiced. Act 13:50; 14:2, 19; 17:13 So Judaism is not what the disciples of Jesus practiced otherwise there wouldn't have been any issue between them and the Jews, in fact Jews today practicing Judaism never agree that Jesus of Nazareth is a prophet of God because of the way he criticized Judaism! ![]() |
Truvelisback:Those people never use VIOLENCE rather they were doing business inside a place designated for worship. But here you are talking about people who are VIOLENT unlike those doing business in the temple this ones strongly believe they're fighting for God. So did Jesus of Nazareth ordered his followers to go for VIOLENCE against VIOLENCE? ![]() |
A first century Jewish carpenter known as Jesus of Nazareth said: Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Matthew 5:43-48 How does man's order sound to you, wise or foolish? ![]() |
The tree symbolises RIGHT to set standards among intelligent beings on planet earth so it's only our Creator who knows our formation has the sole right to set standards for us, it doesn't belong to man even to set standards for himself {Jeremiah 10:23} talkless setting it up for his fellowman! Ecclesiastes 4:1; 8:9 The secret hear is that once humans begin setting standards for themselves they can't be just due to nepotism and these will eventually lead to strife which in turn will lead to killings. The true God will not permitted such as long as He reigns that's why He warned them that DEATH will result from such actions {Genesis 2:17} as they will start killing one another over whose standard is the best. Revelations 6:3-4 Adam knew God wasn't joking about whatever He says so he was not deceived by Satan but Eve the inexperienced was thoroughly deceived! 1Timothy 2:14 So had it been that Adam took charge of the situation and scold Eve over her rebellious act God wouldn't have cursed them. But Adam intentionally supported the move to rebel against God so God cursed the ground upon which Adam lives so that he will have to find his way how to eat and survive till his death! Genesis 3:17-19 |
Ken4Christ:Aren't you supposed to know that this is just stupidity at it's peak? I just pity you as you're going through this emotional torture. HELL simply means GRAVE and the true God has nothing to do with the dead of sinners, once you're dead you can't hurt a fly anymore and that's where you're going with all these nonsense and ingredients! Ecclesiastes 9:5-10 ![]() |
AtsushiSendo:Just seeing this now. Please i'll be back, let me attend to something very urgent! |
PeaceJoyLove:This shows how low your thinking! ![]() Plato said exactly what Jesus said about those who says the truth, so it's obvious that you don't have a happy home and most likely you've been driven out of your husband's house so you're looking for anyone upon whom you will pour out your frustration! ![]() Leave those irrelevancies and face the main issues Greatgrandpa.There's just one answer i owe you and i have provided it here, but perhaps your arrogance is blurring your senses so i'll repeat it this last time: Jesus said by "their FRUITS you will know them" Matthew 7:16-18 So even if hundreds of thousands of religions emerge all claiming they belong to Jesus {Matthew 7:21-23} what sincere and honest hearted individuals should look out for is their ability to produce the FRUIT Jesus produced in the first century. Jesus was called by the title "CHRIST" {Matthew 16:16} because he was preaching zealously and industriously teaching in all his districts about God's Kingdom {John 6:68} therefore any Bible version that could work out this same thing in the world of imperfect humans, making zealous preachers and industrious teachers as disciples is the one and only version approved by God {Matthew 28:19-20; Act 1:8} and having the backing of God's Holy Spirit! James 2:18-26 ![]() These are the focus here. Max the m00ron. Focus on these issues here and dont hide under Plato who you dont believe in.I will stop responding to your madness because it's obvious you're mannerless and that's why the other SDA lady stopped chatting with you. I remember you once begged me to show you the application that i'm using to quote fitting scriptures to back my comments but there's no way you're ever going to know it because it's the work of God's Holy Spirit and it only works in people who have humbly accepted JWs into their lives. They laid hands on me and pray for me so that the spirit may start working with me. Don't think it's affordable for arrogant people like you! Act 8:18-20 So i'm leaving you but remember a billion of your type can't stop us from preaching and teaching that only JWs are the true Christians today. Farewell! ![]()

Maynman:Thanks, no wahala! ![]() |
Maynman: Maynman:I don't know what business you have in this after all you said Jesus never said anything, it's Romans that determines whatever is recorded as Jesus' statement. Me i believe what i read in the Bible about Jesus so go and convince people out there that it's what Romans said that they're reading not Jesus' words! ![]() |
Maynman:You already know me as a SHAMELESS LIAR who will never accept anything from you, so go ahead and and convince others who are not shameless liars that Jesus never said those words recorded in the Bible, as for me i believe everything i read about him in the Bible with all my heart! ![]() |
Maynman:I quoted verses 12 & 13, Jesus said there are many more things he need to tell them which means it's what they could understand that he's telling them in plain words. So from verse 1-11 are things they could understand but there are still many more things to tell them but they can't grasp it until later! |
Maynman:I'm not interested in blind arguments this morning, i've shown you what Jesus taught and so far so good true Christians today have made millions of DISCIPLES, they don't carry weapons or participate in politics. That's enough evidence for anyone who wants to know the real Jesus who was given the title CHRIST! |
Nicollas01:My pleasure, you're welcome Sir! ![]() |
Ken4Christ:That's exactly the same thing Jewish people thought about Jesus of Nazareth but truth need to be told! ![]() |
Maynman:Try to read carefully before responding! |
Maynman:You're right to a degree according to history. And that's exactly what the Arab world noticed about Rome's dominance over the world of that time so they decided to play the same card with what a man called Muhammad started in their midst. Though they killed him themselves but then they realized that they could also use this tool to recruit soldiers from place to place fighting in support of the Arab world to gain world dominance. That's what they're doing now. But as for Romans that were fighting and killing people to rule them forcefully they are not Christians at all because the man Jesus of Nazareth who is called "CHRIST" never taught his disciples to use force in gaining control {Matthew 26:52} rather he taught them to love and care for everyone {Mark 12:31} including their enemies! Matthew 5:43-48 So those Romans only use the name Jesus for the wrong motive, they were never his disciples! ![]() |
Nicollas01:Thanks for respectfully and politely asking this question, we know many like you must have observed how zealous and industrious we are in preaching and teaching about our God in your neighbourhood but keep wondering why our interpretation of the scripture totally negates what other religions believe. This is the answer to your question! In the beginning God never had any intention of making anyone to suffer, His plan was to see how humans with the intelligence He gave them could make the planet more beautiful than how it was when there are just a pair of humans. Genesis 1:26-28 But sadly the first human pair decided to become rebels so God punished them in line with what He has told them, it's either they obey His wise counsel and keep living or disobey and return to non-existence! Genesis 2:17; 3:19 This is why we are all growing old, getting sick and dying. Romans 3:23; 5:12 Some of the descendants of the first pair just happens to prove otherwise in their own ways so they makes God happy to have created them {Genesis 4:4} so there's a reward that awaits such ones in the future, they will be called back to life again when all evildoers are gone {Job 14:13-15 compare to Psalms 37:9-11; Proverbs 2:20-22} but people who don't care about God will be forgotten in their graves they will not be remembered! Psalms 9:17 So when Jesus of Nazareth came to this planet as the world's most wonderful counselor he taught so many things using idioms, symbolic terms and parables {Matthew 13:13,34} most times when he speaks about evildoers or unrepentant sinners Jesus always compare their condition after death to things thrown in garbage sites where fire is burning you and i know that whatever we throw into such place can't be retrieved {Matthew 10:28} that's what he meant by "LAKE of FIRE" it simply means the type of death where those who goes there can't come back, all Adam's descendants supposed to be remembered and called back to life because we're not the ones who stubbornly ate what will kill us so our punishment of death supposed to be a temporary one but most people choose to follow Adam's rebellious acts so their own death is permanent: THE SECOND DEATH! Revelations 20:15 Thanks once again, God bless you and may you have PEACE! ![]() |
oluwafeolami:He is new here, i am also one of his brothers, please can you come again with the question? Thanks! ![]() |
PeaceJoyLove:My dear lady, Honestly speaking if you have a happy home you won't be here trying to engage anyone in abusive speeches or curses simply because of claims about religion. What is the difference between you and those burning their fellow student over religious issues? I only made a statement and it's either you laugh and ignore or tell me your mind and take your leave. But insisting on silencing me is nothing more than EXTREMISM! ![]()
|
Extremism is not new. Pharaoh of Egypt cruelly dealt with Israelites and made them slaves, Nebuchadnezzar ordered the burning of three Jews, Jesus was impaled, Stephen was stoned to death and Paul was beaten many times near death. All these are the results of extremism in religion. Jesus of Nazareth has forewarned that during the last days extremism in religion will get out of hand and become a global phenomenon and it will continue until the conclusion of this system of things. So we should be careful with what we utter in the public and most especially in the midst of religionists who believes in physically fighting to support/promote their gods/religions. Today Islam seems to be the extremist group and it's so because religion is one of the tools politicians uses to gain power. So as long as the world is under the control of politicians EXTREMISM and TERRORISM will always be here! Revelations 6:3-4 ![]() |
Ken4Christ:You be confirmed MUMU! ![]() Jesus knew very well that none of his disciples could understand how Christ's resurrection will be that's why he told them: “I still have many things to say to you, but you are not able to bear them now. However, when that one comes, the spirit of the truth, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak of his own initiative, but what he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things to come. That one will glorify me, because he will receive from what is mine and will declare it to you. John 16:12-14 They never heard of spirit resurrection before so it's until they've received the Holy Spirit that they can decipher such a thing! 1Corinthians 15:44-45 So Jesus has to assure them that it's him but they can't understand why he has to become a spirit after his resurrection! ![]() |
The religion people practices is of no relevance in any country, what matters is the policies governing the society, and according to Fela Anikulapo Kuti "Cultures and Traditions" is the foundation upon which policies are made in any society. So we need to look well into our cultures and traditions because that's where we're having issues to set up policy that could benefit us as a society not religion! ![]() |
cornelboy:After reading some books from atheists they'll conclude everything has been figured out so they'll start trailing religionists to engage in arguments. I only answer their questions so after finding out that MaxInDHouse always beat their intelligence they start avoiding me! ![]() |
I am Maximus, one of Jehovah's Witnesses. Do you mind if i join in the scriptural discussions? |

The truth dey make you run away from me. Shoor! E shock you? You and who will shed tears? Only mumu like you who cannot think with their heads will shed tears with the nonsense you have put here. Zombies like you will. The exact way you are trying to hurt me when I am the one telling you the truth here. You want to use everything to prevent the truth from coming out. You ran away from the truth of answering questions I asked you. In order to hide, the evil you decided to attack my relationship. You failed. You moved to attacking my person here....you failed. And ran away from the previous thread to come here and spread your false teachings you cannot prove. You are the evil man doing your best to stop the truth.
