Lol...what does constitution say about someone that steal?
Did Nigeria constitution condemn terrorists?
This is why it's rare to see JWs having issues with the investigative department of police, because we know the laws even better than the law enforcement agents! smiley
Guy, the constitution has been written but nobody condemns an accused until he is found GUILTY of the charge! wink
Emusan:
Yet Jesus is lying in Matt 12:36
And Paul was also lying in Roman 14:12, 2 Corinthians 5:10 cheesy grin cheesy grin cheesy grin
No wonder you quickly tag it SYMBOLIC cheesy grin cheesy grin
You quote the texts but you can't expatiate to drive home your point, that's why you're trying hard to explain but tying yourself more Into the cobweb! cheesy
Emusan:
Yet Jesus Himself says people will be judged, He also repeated it through Paul that EVERYONE WILL STAND BEFORE HIM, and finally confirmed it through John in Revelation when John saw "And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done."
You'll continue to change all those scripture by yourself just because you hate the truth.
Meaninghuh
Does "standing before him" means people will literally line up like in the law Court?
Well all these are symbolic terms that's why you can't correlate what you read in a place with another, so you have to ignore what you don't understand and hing on to what you can relate with! cheesy

I've told you that STANDING BEFORE JESUS' THRONE simply means opportunity to listen to the message of the Good News his disciples are taking up and down. Once you've met them and discovered the purpose of their visit the next thing is to meditate on what they said about God's Kingdom, check yourself if there's anyway you're wanting so that you can make amendments. For your information that's why those who have done this could confidently say "we were saved" {Romans 8:24} though they never stood before any judgment throne! wink

AntiChristian:
1.You mean Jehovah is not omnipotent? So he has to sublet duties like Buhari gave duties to his VP.
All you need to do is study the Bible with JWs and all these things will become like àkàrà and ẹ̀kọ!

Remember that God never gave us electricity, telephone, automobile, aeroplane, speedboats, radio, television and so on like that but He is the source of all the things man used to make all these things.
That's how God does His own works, He will do some and allow His intelligent children (humans) make use of the things He provided for them to enhance their own lives.
That's what brings Him joy as the Almighty not doing everything without allowing humans to make use of their God's given brains! smiley

AntiChristian:
2. So how do you say the LORD our God is one! When we have:
Moses as Elohim.
Satan as Elohim.
Jesus as God.
Angel as Elohim.
You (many people) as Elohim.
Because there is just ONE God to be WORSHIPED! Deuteronomy 6:4; Mark 12:29

But as CREATORS of so many things on this planet we humans are also Gods {Psalms 82:6} on our part just that none of us deserve to be worshiped.

WHY?

Because all glory, laud and honor belongs to the Almighty who gave us the wisdom to make other useful things on our planet! Revelations 4:11 smiley

Also, that Nigeria constitution condemned all criminals doesn't mean they won't be charged to court to face judgment.
Funny enough Sir, no constitution condemns an accused until he/she has been judged.
So you've misconstrued it all! cheesy

A suspect will first be arrested, then charged to court where he will be given a fair trial, it's after he has been found guilty that he will be judged as a condemned criminal. But until then he's just an accused not condemned! smiley

But in Jesus' own type of judgment the accused only need to report himself by first acknowledging that he's a wrongdoer, then turn around (repent) of his wrongdoings after listening to what Jesus has to say. Whoever ignore Jesus' words has already been condemned so there's no further case to be established! John 3:16-18

That's the PRACTICAL APPLICATION of what you're reading Sir! smiley

Well i know you are empty but i just want to expose you that's why i purposely engaged you in this.
Do you now see the reason why you can't preach anything on this forum ever since you're here?
It's because you can't distinguish between those practicing what Jesus taught and those ignoring it.
We know what Jesus taught and so we only associate with people who are willing to obey Jesus' command! Hebrews 10:24-25

Pick out the below from the scriptures quoted above
So only the anointed brothers of Christ who have become Born Again are going to heaven because they will be transformed and given spiritual bodies.
Word for word grin grin grin grin
Oh that's what you're expecting!
Please pardon my manners.
Well Jesus told them that many are invited but few were CHOSEN {Matthew 22:14} because only those given the garment (spiritual bodies) can go to heaven with Christ! Matthew 22:11-12
So only the BORN AGAIN will possess the spiritual bodies to go and live with Jesus in heaven! John 3:5-6 smiley

That's applicable to humans not God!
That's why only there only one YHVH in your Bible. And such title was never used for Jesus, nor for the god that fought Jacob and lost and for Satan the god of the world.
We are saying the same thing!

An Engineer is greater than another Engineer the same way a God is greater than another God.

Each engineer will have what he's doing yet an engineer may sublet a contract to a lesser engineer.
JEHOVAH is God and Jesus is God but Jehovah is the Almighty who assigned duty to Jesus to serve as God but with a lesser authority to that of the Almighty! smiley

MaxInDHouse or the Lord.
Why should I be correlating what is corellated already? grin grin grin
Shooting yourself in the foot
My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. John 10:27
Key points
1. They listen to the Lord's voice
2. The Lord knows them
3. They follow the Lord grin grin cheesy cheesy
Hen nah, we are saying the same thing.

How do you think people who don't study what Jesus commanded his disciples for them to gain everlasting life could be Jesus' sheep? smiley

Is that what the Thessalonians is saying?

Oga quote it out make we see. grin grin grin
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

Compare to

In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told, you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. John 14:2-4 smiley

What part of this statement you don't understand?
Me I am waiting your where to run and hide here.
The part i don't understand is where you didn't correlate it with what Jesus said:

My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. John 10:27

How can people who aren't studying Jesus' words FOLLOW him?
Doesn't that mean religionists in all other GROUPS apart from those adhering strictly to what Jesus taught will PERISH? John 3:16

Do you think people who ignored Jesus' words can be part of his sheep? smiley

"Himself" in Romans means in PERSON don't forget.
Where does God reside that EVERYONE WILL APPEAR AND STAND BEFORE HIM(GOD)?
2 Corinthians 5:10 says "at the judgment SEAT OF CHRIST" according to the Bible, where does this SEAT OF CHRIST position?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm well let me enlighten you!

Jesus said:

He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. John 3:18

According to Jesus the judgment seat is not in any specific place but symbolic since whoever doesn't believe has already been judged.
So if Jesus could clear a thief here on earth and grant him Paradise, even forgive the sins of people here on earth and specifically say no one is greater than John the baptist there giving John the pass mark greater than all those that lived before John, it simply means they have all received their reward through Jesus who is the symbolic throne of God's judgment! Hebrews 1:8

Remember whoever Jesus grant pardon has already been pardoned and whoever Jesus condemned has already been condemned! Matthew 28:18

So only the anointed brothers of Christ who have become Born Again are going to heaven because they will be transformed and given spiritual bodies. 1Thessalonians 4:16-17
But as for unrepentant wrongdoers they aren't going nowhere, they will be forgotten in their graves! Psalms 9:17

Thanks! smiley

You see how your struggling to drag me into your speculations and assumptions. The hold of your religious leaders teachings on you is so strong that you will easily disregard what Jesus said to hold on to what men like you say. grin grin grin grin
It's just a harmless question.
There are billions of people on earth today and majority claims they believe in God but they practice different religions just as the Pharisees, Sadducees, Scribes and other Jewish Rabbis also claim they believe in God but instead of joining Jesus' group they want to pitch their own tent.
Thus Jesus told one of them that he must become Jesus' follower to enter God's Kingdom! Luke 18:18-23


So my question now is have Jesus now changed that opinion so that people practicing different religion but acknowledged him just as that man did will qualify for everlasting life? smiley

Have done that earlier check it out.

Romans 14:12, 2 Corin 5:10, Matt 12:36 and many more
So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. Romans 14:12

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. 2 Corinthians 5:10
But I say unto you, That every idle word that, men shall speak, they shall give account thereof, in the day of judgment. Matthew 12:36

Please where is it written that they will all go to heaven to receive judgment? smiley

Don't hide here! Are those verses not in your translation? He knows already so don't bother yourself about him Yes and they'll both receive their judgement. That he will be with Him (Jesus) in paradise. That is He will be where Jesus would be while the other one will be sent to his own abode.
We're getting somewhere now.

So both the good and bad will go to heaven, but then stand before God's throne, receive judgment and each will be sent to their abode right there in heaven, shey? smiley

Stop asking questions irrelevant to your position earlier.
When scripture from the Bible you believe are read to you, You go to your usual narratives you cram into your memory as learned from your religious leaders. The Lord knows those who belong to him. Get that into your memory and knowledge. The scripture did not say the Lord knows the group that are his.
Na the problem of the speculatons and assumptions you have been fed over the years. Even your religious publications and information on their website states judging who gets salvation rest squarely in the hands of Jesus.
Stop going into areas your not expected to go. Na to pick lawlessness of others you sabi. Learn.
People practicing different religion but heard of Jesus' name will make heaven too, shey? cheesy

In your John 14:6 Jesus didn't claim group or say anything related to group too. Get to understand it.
Well then do you agree that only those following Jesus as a GROUP (whether physical or spiritual) will go to heaven?

The spirit can't be breath of life because breath of Life isn't conscious to give account oof individual.
"Yes, each of us will give a personal account to God" Rom 14:12
But your dumb theology above is glaring grin cheesy grin cheesy grin cheesy
Anyways, everyone goes to heaven at death but God sent them to their final destination.
If not scripture won't record that ALL MUST GIVE ACCOUNT TO GOD. Romans 14:12
If people didn't go to heaven, how will that possible?
So everybody good or evil is going to heaven shey?

Courtesy Jehovah, William Tyndale wink
Here on Nairaland people quote people to reason with them on posts.
Below is my post you quoted this morning:

MaxInDHouse:
Thought provoking question!

There's just one human race but due to ethnic and language barrier we have created artificial racism among ourselves.
The one and only creature with the ability to think, speak and improve in things we do are humans. All other creatures have remained the same way they are for thousands of years so the book (Bible) has something worthwhile in it when it says:

Then God said: “Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness, and let them have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and the domestic animals and all the earth and every creeping animal that is moving on the earth.” And God went on to create the man in his image, in God’s image he created him; male and female he created them. Further, God blessed them, and God said to them: “Be fruitful and become many, fill the earth and subdue it, and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving on the earth.” Genesis 1:26-28

But there's is something we must totally avoid if we're to continue living together as one big and happy race of human family:
We mustn't set standards for right and wrong from our own thinking, we must solely rely on God! Genesis 2:17

Today there are so many religions due to what each nation knew so far but apart from the book Bible none of all these religionists from different nations knew what's been causing the troubles within the human society: POLITICS.
This is what resulted from man's rebellion ever since the first human pair decided to start setting standards within the human society.

Now back to your question!
The purpose or importance of a widespread religion should be to unite all nations under one umbrella to form one big and happy family of peace loving worshipers on a global scale! Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3

Today this has been achieved as Jehovah's Witnesses have used the Bible to gather people from different races throughout the earth, taught them to submit (willingly) to the same line of thought, and they have diverted all their resources into the production of food and information materials, they have vowed never to make or raise weapons against their fellowman again and to military services used by POLITICIANS to intimidate their fellowman into submitting to the standard they set Jehovah's Witnesses have said "goodbye" Isaiah 2:2-4

This is the importance of a widespread religion and Jesus of Nazareth commissioned a global campaign so that obedient humans from all the earth may be gathered to achieve this! Matthew 28:18-20

Thanks, may you have PEACE! smiley
So you either say something in correlation with what you quoted or wait for others to do the needful, we appreciate that you don't HAVE (KNOW) anything to say about the post so it's OK! wink

Is it the “good morning” that’s paining you ? Or there’s another reason?
I already acknowledged William Tyndale as your Jehovah.

I told you already that you will go round and round throughout Nairaland and you can never find WISDOM elsewhere except with one of Jehovah's Witnesses.

1. God is a title just as Man is a title if God claims to be one God how was he able to produce a Son who is also God with a different will.
2. Why did Gabriel tell Mary to name the baby Jesus instead of Yahwe as since Yahwe is said to be the name of God?
Do you think the title "ENGINEER" is OK to address someone?
For instance Engineer Rauf Aregbesola.
But what if his Son also choose to be an Engineer? Do you think the child should also bear Rauf Aregbesola as his own name too? smiley

because they know that is left for God to do since they are not God, they have no power to do so. So anybody claiming to know the people practicing pure worship simply equating him/herself to be God. No wonder you can't point to a single verse where Bible talk about this SPECIFIC GROUP. cheesy grin cheesy grin cheesy grin grin
After you said, "Jesus claimed to know it all" you still went further to say "if there shouldn't be any group then it means whatever Jesus said is irrelevanct" does this make sense?
