Christianity Etc › Re: What Did Jesus Mean When He Said, "Today You Will Be With Me In Paradise"? by MaxInDHouse(m): 9:31pm On Apr 21, 2022
OLAADEGBU:
My questions are thrown at my fellow believers in Christ but I trust you to come in uninvited like your father the devil who gate-crashed the meeting God was having with His servants.



I'm only obliged to respond to objections referred to me especially when they address the topic at hand not the ranting of those who's objective is to cause confusion with their poisoned reasonings.



My brethren know themselves and I know them but they are definitely not those who's loyalty is to some organisation who go about teaching doctrines of demons. My brethren are those who believe in the Triune God and have received the true Jesus as their Lord and personal Saviour. They also take the Holy Bible which is God breathed as the final authority in all matters unlike you who take the Watchtower magazine/literature as the final say.



My G.S. teaches and preaches the full gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to all and sundry. If you don't believe the Holy Bible why should I expect you to believe what my G.S. teaches?



There you go again deflecting and changing the subject at hand as your organisation usually does. The grasshopper method. cheesy

John 1:3 NLT
[3]God created everything through him,
    and nothing was created except through him.

Jesus created every creation for God.

Colossians 1:15 NLT
[15]Christ is the visible image of the invisible God.
    He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation,

Questions you should ponder on;
1. Did Jehovah GOD have beginning? Did God start existing or he is all there all along from eternity to eternity?
2. Did Jesus his son have a beginning, didn't he start to exist at a point in time?
3. Are they co-eternal like Trinitarians say?
You don't know OLAADEGBU, he will be running away from one point to another once he noticed you've exposed his ignorance.

Jesus died but before his death he begged the one who is able to SAVE him and he was heard due to his Godly FEAR! Hebrews 5:7

That is enough to tell any sincere person that Jesus was raised by someone who can SAVE Jesus from death! smiley

What is intellectual about making an attempt to try and defend clear lies by your organization about 1914 when we have the records?!!

What abacadabra explanation will you put up that will erase the evidences?
Are you such without a Bible conscience that you will proudly defend lies instead of humbling yourself before Christ.
When i said:

You said i can't DEFEND my faith.

So you just want to lay accusations and won't allow the accused to say anything in defense shey?

My friend, you can still learn how to do things in the way of Christ, Jesus was the accused who wasn't given a fair airing so if truthfully you have something tangible to say you won't type a whole epistle only to start shying away when the defendant is around.

Please can you elaborate further smiley
Thanks
The first trumpet will be blown so that all the dead in union with Christ Jesus will be raised from their graves to go and meet Jesus in heaven {1Thessalonians 4:16-17} before Jesus' coming to the earth that's not the plan for the co-rulers who will rule with the Christ,
Their government house supposed to be in Jerusalem {Isaiah 2:3} on David's throne {Isaiah 9:7} but the Jews polluted that city with the blood of faithful servants of God {Matthew 23:37-38} that's why God condemned that city {Matthew 21:43} so when Jesus said so many evil things that will befall Jerusalem {Luke 21:20-24} his apostles were totally confused because they knew all what Jesus promised them {Matthew 19:28} will be established in Jerusalem!
So Jesus announced something nobody has ever heard before! He said he's going to his father's house to prepare a place for them and he's coming back to take them there so their government house will no longer be Jerusalem but heaven! John 14:1-4

So by the time Jesus came to take them home in 1914 he has driven away Satan and all the demons in heaven (in preparation for his invited co-rulers) Revelations 12:7-12
That's why only Jesus' true disciples can grasp when the first trumpet is blown.
Jesus expatiated by telling the first century Christians what will happen for them to know that he has begun his rulership in heaven! Matthew 24:3-14

But as for the second and last trumpet that will occur when all the people on planet earth have formed one global religion that has nothing to do with either Bible or any other inspired book but on their own reasoning. Then they will start attacking the one and only group of people still adhering to what the Bible says. Revelations 19:17
That's the time the last trumpet will be blown and the angels in heaven with the 144,000 anointed brothers of Christ will come in defense of their earthly subjects who have remained obedient to what they were taught from the scriptures. By that time it will be to late for anyone to repent and join Jesus' disciples because they will be hiding from those who want to kill them off.
So Jesus and the heavenly armies will come down and kill them all! Revelations 19:17-21

God bless you and may you have PEACE! smiley

You don't like chatting with people who don't want to hear your organizational approved propaganda lies taught as truth to you or You can't defend your organization's lies?!!
Which one of them?!!


There is no addition or improvement to the Convenant of Jesus after HE made this declaration on the Cross:

John 19:30 KJV — When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

Hebrews 9:12 KJV — Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.


Hebrews 9:26 KJV — For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

Christ who at different times suffered since the foundation of the World for us after HE created it all has made final show and adjustment of the Sacrifice. There is no therefore any improvement or adjustment after Christ. A careful reading shows that Abraham and the rest of them who never gave false prophecies like your organization were insignificant compared to the Convenant of Christ.


Only Cults and false religions like Islam, Jehovah witnesses, Grail message, Eckankar, etcetera teach that there are improvements or additional testaments all in a bid to justify the many falsehoods as evidenced by their records that prove them as false religions.
If truthfully you want to chat let's discuss like intellectuals by picking the points one after another, we will trash it one by one not mixing it all up with aggression.
You believe the organization is wrong and i believe that's the one and only organization of Christ. So let's discuss like intellectuals as you raise your questions one by one! smiley

Because Jesus never argued with Satan when he said:

I will give you all this authority and their glory, because it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. Luke 4:6

God bless you for being able to discern the truth. You even tried before trying to defend the 1914 date. Most Jehovah witnesses today are even lost as regards the topic and will try to evade the topic with more lies.

If only active Jehovah witnesses will just read their own organization's books both past and present and compare them. They will be shocked at how unrecognizable even Russell and Rutherford will find the present day Jehovah witness if they were to time travel to today.
The organization of God isn't stagnant!

That's what all faithful servants of Jehovah know for certain.

Abel, Enoch, Methuselah, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph never had of God's laws so if they were to TIME TRAVEL to the time Israelites were stoning fellow Israelites to death they will be more than SHOCKED at such a sight.

Moses, Joshua, Gideon, Jephthah, Samson never knew Israelites would have a King since their God only led them through judges so if they TIME TRAVEL to the time when Israelites were running around for kings like Saul, David and Solomon they will surely be SHOCKED!

All the prophets of old never knew that God could stop addressing the whole nation of Israel that He rescued out of Egypt as His people and only acknowledge the Jews (three southern tribes) as His people. So if they TIME TRAVEL to the time Jesus said Salvation is from the Jews {John 4:22} they will be SHOCKED!

I can continue on and on but let me stop here because i don't like chatting with people who don't want to hear the truth.

God's organization improving by the day because Jesus is around flushing away rebellious humans like you and bringing obedient humans like me into the organization so don't expect things to always remain the same the light is getting ever brighter! Proverbs 4:18

I am not an atheist.
My position is that God, which I define as the source of all existence, is incomprehensible and unknowable. I believe IT exists, but as I also believe IT is too transcendental to be comprehended or known, I cannot trust it either. I cannot trust an element I cannot understand or know.
It's the same thing my friend!
As long as you can't TRUST (BELIEVE) in any being as supreme what you're saying is "i trust my own understanding" so whether you brandish it by giving it another name it doesn't change the fact that you won't obey any word from any invisible being that you can't see in order to TRUST completely.

Well if you must know Russell is not the owner of the group rather he was part of those used by Jesus to build the group. So himself and all others like him had limited knowledge and understanding of the organization under construction in the hands of Jesus Christ.
The name JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES was announced in 1931 but according to the scriptures it is JEHOVAH Himself that started calling the newly reformed group of obedient humans by another name, Rutherford only happens to be an instrument in JEHOVAH'S hands. That's what only this group has improved rapidly in conforming all their activities to Jesus' teachings.

Guy if you've found my post intriguing do yourself a favour by meditating thoroughly on our conversation. I'm not one of misinformed Churchgoers who have no evidence of what they're saying.

Of course there were many people during the DARK AGES who tried to decipher what Jesus taught and find a way to implement it but since the Antichrist is still holding them captives their effort can't be noticed, that's why they all ended up becoming churches of Christendom who can't exhibit the attributes of Christ Jesus.
The organization of Jehovah's Witnesses back then was also part of them not until Jesus chose the group for one reason: they were willing to make amendments in the things they took from the AntiChrist like:
Immortality of the soul.
All good people goes to heaven.
Pagan festivals.
Refusal to go visiting people in their homes.
Picking up weapons in support of politics.
And many more!


These are the WORKS Jesus was doing underG with the group until JEHOVAH now adopted this group as His worshipers and gave them another name in the year 1931, that is the year we began bearing the group name:

Assuming all the people in Ukraine are JWs nobody will raise an objection as Vladimir Putin chooses to extend his domain to that part, we will leave the place for him in peace so neither Russians or Ukrainians will have to die.
But then you're avoiding the real cause of the trouble: NATO
Ukraine cut away from Russia decades ago so they were formerly Russians, NATO wants Ukraine to join their group and that will expose Russia to danger as the enemies of Russia have been seeking a way to weaken their defense system.
So both Ukraine and Russia have something to protect but then as Jehovah's Witnesses we are neither in support of Vladimir Putin or Volodymyr Zelenskyy, anybody can rule after all we don't trust any politician. smiley

And when others defend the space with their lives, you will come afterwards and happily use the peace to carry on disturbing people's front doors with your gibberish right?
Kwantinu.
What you failed woefully to grasp is the fact that assassins and armed robbers are not recognized as a group under the authority of any elected leader so constitutionally they are not authorized in any way and that's why even you can fight back because if they are caught the society in which you live will subject them to the rules binding on citizens and they will be severely dealt with according to the laws.

But in the case of any army under the control of a constitutionally elected leader is not to be viewed as criminals because they're following the orders from the President elect under a democratic rule.
So even when they are caught no country will support you to kill them rather the worst you can do is jail them because they were acting in line with the orders from an elected leader under DEMOCRATIC rule which is globally accepted.

sonmvayina:
This is still waiting to be fulfilled
It's fulfilling right now but the hatred you have for the name "Jesus" is blurring your senses so you can't grasp it!

God promised Abraham, Isaac and Jacob but after centuries the Israelites break into two parts ten tribes in the north and two tribes with the Levites in the south.
The northern ten tribes are called Samaritans while the three southern tribes are known as Jews. God stopped relating with the entire nation and continue with the southern three tribes. That's why you are seeing how God promised that people from all the nations of the earth will like to go with JEWS instead of the whole nation of ISRAEL as promised to Abraham.
So the same reason why God stopped relating with the entire nation caused a condemnation on the Jews. They all failed to produce the fruitage of FAITH like their father Abraham, that's why God raised children for Abraham from different races throughout the earth {Matthew 3:7-10} after few Jews accepted Jesus Christ as the promised Messiah God began chosing individuals from other nations starting from Samaria (the former abandoned northern ten tribes) and other nations to complete the 144,000 faithful people who will serve as SPIRITUAL JEWS.
Today those spiritual Jews are the ones we are following and the fulfilment of God's promises after people from all races attached themselves to the Jews could be seen globally.

For your information, the expected result of what Zechariah 8:23 says is found at Isaiah 2:2-4 and repeated at Micah 4:1-3.

Jehovah's Witnesses are already fulfilling that today, as for the nation of Israel they've been condemned for good and nothing more can come out of that nation forever and ever.

That's what Jesus the only begotten Son of God says:

This is why I say to you, the Kingdom of God will be taken from you and be given to a nation producing its fruits Matthew 21:43

Jesus said only those who gather with him will continue to yield positive results in line with Bible prophecies but all those turning against him will SCATTER! Luke 11:23

That's why the nation of Israel can never ever gather the tribes together again.
Whether you like it or not, that's the bitter TRUTH! smiley

Not using it is not the same thing as undoing your use of it.
This is an idealistic notion that would work in an ideal world, and certainly not in a world where there is the imperative of self-defense.
And what is hypocritical about the JW position on war is that sometimes when your country and people are attacked, you must defend your country: JWs will refuse to take part in such defensive action but will enjoy the fruits of peace when the country is successfully defended. That is the worst kind of cowardice and hypocrisy combined.
That's the more reason why you need to ask us questions politely like a gentleman and intellectual instead of concluding without asking! smiley

There's no reason to DEFEND any country but the case is more complicated than the way people like you view things.
Before an army could invade your country a ruler must have issued the order, and mind you the only reason for that is to expand his domain. So the question you're to ask yourself before picking up weapons in support of either side is:

What do i stand to benefit if A or B becomes the one ruling my territory?

Remember that for anyone to have become a commander in chief or president of any country, people under him must be loyal to him. Therefore he/she is nice to an extent to those under his/her domain that's why they're obedient to him/her. So what do i stand to gain or loose if A or B becomes the one ruling my territory? smiley


I've served as a soldier for years and for your information the aim of any army is not to kill people but to make opposers surrender to the bid of our commander. It's against our rule to aim at people who have surrendered to our bid, that's why in most cases the word "harmless civilians" often suffice during wars.

Whether A becomes the ruler or B none can be fully trusted to improve the lives of citizens, all they're after is just the position.
So Jehovah's Witnesses taught me that instead of picking up weapons in support of A or B why not let them resolve the issue between themselves? If people the world over reason like Jehovah's Witnesses there will be no more wars.

We are all the same as in one human race, let us reason like intelligent beings not ants.

Thank you! smiley

Authority to do, yes, but to undo, I know know for that one oh.

The president has given you the approval to use it anytime you deem fit, he doesn't care if you use it or not. Will you use it?
What Jehovah's Witnesses taught me is that it's better not to build weapons at all because we can divert such resources into the production of food and information materials that will benefit the entire human race! Isaiah 2:2-4 smiley

Workch:
The idea of a God that handed down instructions to me in private, with nobody around, is one magnificent fraud. The only reason it works is because of social pressure and a fear of not knowing.
If not so, why has the people who claim to see him, hear and fell him never ever have credible evidence to test for these bogus claims?
In fact you as in you in particular has given me much more evidence than anything else in the world that there is God! smiley

WHY do i say so?

The Bible book of Isaiah 2:2-4 says:

In the final part of the days, The mountain of the house of Jehovah Will become firmly established above the top of the mountains, And it will be raised up above the hills, And to it all the nations will stream. And many peoples will go and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, To the house of the God of Jacob. He will instruct us about his ways, And we will walk in his paths.” For law will go out of Zion, And the word of Jehovah out of Jerusalem. He will render judgment among the nations And set matters straight respecting many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares And their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, Nor will they learn war anymore
These means people world over will form sects or groups and start REASONING with their neighbours on matters having to do with God.
Then the GROUP that got it right will resolve all their racial disparities among themselves, divert their resources into production of food and information materials, stop the production of weapons and vowed never to raise weapons against their fellowman again!
So while this is happening the other sects that's not getting it right will also want to reason with their neighbours but since they're not connected to God each person will be trying to establish he/her own opinion and it will always end up in frustration because they will never achieve anything worthwhile!



Moreover Malachi 3:16 says:

At that time those who fear Jehovah spoke with one another, each one with his companion, and Jehovah kept paying attention and listening. And a book of remembrance was written before him for those fearing Jehovah and for those meditating on his name

This is supporting the first quotation that people will start reasoning with their neighbours on Godly matters.

Then Jesus commanded his disciples saying:

Jesus approached and spoke to them, saying: “All authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth. Go, therefore, and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of this system of things! Matthew 28:18-20

This is where your obsession becomes really obvious!
Because it's evident that you're really trying hard to REASON with your neighbours but due to the fact that you've got nothing tangible to TEACH you've become so frustrated that you're just creating threads upon threads only to end up quarrelling with everyone that comes to REASON with your! embarassed

Do you now see the REASON why intelligent people BELIEVE in Jesus of Nazareth?
Nobody ordered you to reason with anyone unlike Jesus did so since you have nothing to PREACH nor TEACH you've become really really frustrated.

My advice to you is calm down otherwise BP is close to you because you'll always see people worshiping God whether you like it or not and there's nothing you can do about it than this frustration written all over you on this faceless forum.

May you have PEACE! smiley
