Show me one Bible verse that Jesus mentioned or states the name of a religious organization practising what I am saying.
No dey carry the name of your religious organization like calf to be worshiped.
Read your Bible from now till eternity including the interlinear, greeks, hebrews e.t.c. You will not see a name of a religious organization said to be doing God's will.
Learn.
Na now your eyes clear see the post abi when another poster commented on it. grin grin grin grin
Why must it be only Jesus that you think should have a say regarding the religion doing the right thing?
Why not other religions who are also claiming worshipers of God?

If there shouldn't be a specific group practicing pure worship then why must it be all about what Jesus have to say?
Remember Jesus himself claimed to know it all {John 14:6} so if there shouldn't be any group then it means whatever Jesus said is irrelevant! smiley
Christianity Etc › Re: Do Africans Have Any Widespread Religion Before The Advent Of The Europeans? by MaxInDHouse(m): 8:39am On Apr 20, 2022

Of what importance is the widespread of any religion.
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

The Bible you carry states in 1 Timothy 3:16,17 it is God's word that is inspired. The religious organization set up by men today feeds from the the Bible not the bible feeding from the church. The discussion centred here are what the scripture says not what your church says. It sometimes spill into some of the teachings of your religious organization and other denominations yet the base is what you the Bible says.

Learn. No dey carry the name of your religious organization like calf to be worshipped.
Good, so present the church that's practicing what you're saying! smiley
Christianity Etc › Re: Jesus Lied When He Promised The Thief Beside Him Heaven! by MaxInDHouse(m): 7:59am On Apr 20, 2022
Ken4Christ:
Ecclesiastes you are quoting cannot be a reliable authority on this subject. The men of old had limited knowledge. Some of the things they said were not true.
For instance, Job said so many things during his trying period and some of them were not true. God himself rebuked Job for speaking words without knowledge;
Job 38:1-2
1 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
2 Who is this that darkeneth counsel by WORDS WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE?
Jesus is the truth. He has clearly revealed the existence of hell through his teachings in such a way that it is clearly understood.
Only skeptic like you will deliberately ignore the truth taught by Jesus on the subject of hell.
He even said they will be weeping and gnashing their teeth day and night. Can an unconscious man gnash his teeth?
You've missed so many things my friend! smiley

First of all Job was complaining about his own condition so in his complaints he made errors but as for Solomon everything he wrote down in the Bible book of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes were inspired by God through the WORD Jesus Christ! John 1:1

If you don't know this is the time to readjust your thinking because it's Jesus that's speaking through Solomon in the Bible book of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes.

I'll give you just two instances:

Have you noticed that most of the Proverbs begin with the phrase "My Son"?
Do you know why?
Well it's because the person speaking is not just Solomon but the Wonderful Counselor and Everlasting Father {Isaiah 9:6} he is the WISDOM of God {1Corinthians 1:24 compare to Proverbs 8:1} who has been with God from the beginning of all creation! Proverbs 8:22-31 compare to John 1:1; Colossians 1:15
So my friend it's the same Jesus who revealed all what was written in the Bible book of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, for your information another meaning of Ecclesiastes is Preacher and who is the Preacher if not Jesus Christ? smiley
Christianity Etc › Re: Why Did God Not Stop Satan From Sneaking Back Into Heaven by MaxInDHouse(m): 7:32am On Apr 20, 2022
NNTR:
Isaiah 14:12-14
12“How you are fallen from heaven,
O Lucifer, son of the morning!
How you are cut down to the ground
,
You who weakened the nations!
13 For you have said in your heart:
‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;
I will also sit on the mount of the congregation. On the farthest sides of the north;
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,I will be like the Most High.’


Exodus 4:22
'Then you shall say to Pharaoh,
‘Thus says the LORD,
“Israel is My son, My firstborn.
'

There exists at least three heavens, namely, the first heaven, which is the atmosphere or air, the sky surrounding our planet, earth. The second heaven is the stellar heaven, that's apparently the abode of celestial beings, while the third heaven, is the dwelling place of God, which incidentally, is where Satan had coup d'etat ambitions towards ascending into this place, exalt his throne above the stars of God and also sit on the mount of the congregation, on the farthest sides of the north. Mind you, the 'north side' is a term relating to God’s presence. Psalm 75:6-7 shines a ray of light on how extreme important and significant the 'north side' is.

Now Isaiah 14:12 and Ezekiel 28:17 are what the pay checks were for Satan, while Revelations 12:7-12 confirms that Satan and his followers did indeed lose their place(s) in heaven. Its Revelation 12:9, that particularly says, that the great dragon, that ancient serpent, called the devil, or Satan, was hurled down to earth.

Satan and his minions have never been found in any bible ever to explicitly be called God's Sons. Any declaration of such is nothing other than another fabrication

Michael (God's first born Son)? The only celestial being, born, is Jesus Christ, who is God, inside a human being body or flesh. Meaning every other celestial beings were created and none born, and so denoting that, no celestial being bar Jesus, came into existence, as a result of a human being birth.

Now, when you read '...My firstborn ...' like as seen said about Israel, in that Exodus 4:22 verse above, its used often as a poetic idiom, meaning its used figuratively and different from the actual words of the expression.

Personal text: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories.
All angels are God's Spirit Sons! Job 38:7
Satan is also one of them! Job 1:6
Michael is the first born of all creatures that's why he is called the Archangel thus he is the same Son of God who came down as Jesus to stand up for the salvation of obedient mankind! Daniel 12:1-3

Just face the OP with whatever you want to say because you and i aren't on the same page.
Thanks! smiley

Christianity Etc › Re: Why Did God Not Stop Satan From Sneaking Back Into Heaven by MaxInDHouse(m):
Because JEHOVAH is not a bully, he will never do anything unjustly. Satan was one of the angels (God's Sons) so he still has the right to go and come to the earth not until his case has been settled in heaven that's when Michael (God's first born Son) has the right to send Satan and all other rebellious angels out of heaven! Revelations 12:7-12

Unlike humans who will use their position to do jungle justice JEHOVAH is patient and just He must follow all due process. That's why it's so difficult for many like you to understand Him because you think He supposed to act even when the case has not been firmly established to prove to the culprit that he is guilty! Isaiah 55:8-9 smiley
Christianity Etc › Re: True Christ, False Christ... by MaxInDHouse(m): 1:25am On Apr 20, 2022
Please anytime you have a thought provoking question of this kind don't forget to tag me for scriptural answers. I know you feel something is wrong and you're right but it's with faithless Churchgoers not with true Christians (Jehovah's Witnesses)

Jesus was only recognized by those who were paying rapt attention to all the related prophecies regarding the Messiah, people who were following mere assumptions of the first century Jewish religious leaders failed to recognize Jesus as the promised Messiah.

WHY?

Because it's with the help of the prophecies that anyone can fully be convinced not on what people thought presumptuously.
So when Jehovah's Witnesses claimed that Jesus returned in 1914 all you need to do is go back to what Jesus himself said will be happening on planet earth that time to help faithful people know that he's around. Matthew 24:4-14
If you're expecting everyone to majority to grasp such an event then remember what happened when this same Jesus came in the first century. With all the prophecies pointing to the coming, life and activities of the Messiah most Jews never recognized that the Messiah is in their midst only faithful Jews did! smiley

There's a question i expected you to ask!

Why is it that since 1914 that Jehovah's Witnesses claimed Jesus returned that morals and virtues was vanishing swiftly on a global scale? smiley

Ken4Christ:
Mark 6:5-6. (Bible in Basic English Translation)
5 And HE WAS UNABLE TO DO ANY WORK OF POWER THERE, but only to put his hands on one or two persons who were ill, and make them well.

6 And he was greatly surprised BECAUSE THEY HAD NO FAITH. And he went about the country places teaching.

Mark 6:5-6 (International Standard Version)
5 He COULDN’T PERFORM A MIRACLE THERE except to lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them.

6 He WAS AMAZED AT THEIR UNBELIEF. Then he went around to the villages and continued teaching.

I have quoted two more translations. They are all saying the same thing. Please quote yours and let's see if it's different in meaning.
This is clear enough but you missed the import because those not healed never made themselves available for healing.
So Jesus can't force them to come out and get healed! undecided

Ken4Christ:
It's either the faith of the sick or someone else faith related one way or the other to the sick. In the case of the soldier, it was his faith that healed his servant.
There's no dispute on faith in this with regards to the person who left home to look for Jesus but there's no one that Jesus failed to heal so far the person came to him or his/her case was reported to Jesus! smiley

haekymbahd:
Why did Jesus need to appear to Paul or come to establish Jehova witness in 1914 after he was through with his mission and had sent his disciples already?
YES! Jesus completed the assignment God gave him as a human on planet earth {John 19:30} so when he returned to heaven he continued working for his dad.
He promised that the Holy Spirit will be sent in his name to continue with his disciples on earth {John 14:25-26} so after Jesus left the earth he's still working with his earthly disciples by means of God's Holy Spirit {Matthew 28:20} that's why he could directly chose Paul a sincere and honest hearted Jew who has been brainwashed by the Pharisees to fight against Jesus' followers unknowingly that he was actually fighting against God!
We got this evidence in Paul's own speech when he said that Gamaliel was the Jewish Rabbi who studied the scriptures with him {Act 22:3} and from Gamaliel's own speech it's obvious that the man was a sincere person even though he wasn't a Christian! Act 5:34-39

So Paul's background was good but since the Pharisees have brainwashed him Jesus had to call this righteous man back to order {Act 9:3-9} being vast in the laws much more than all Jesus' disciples Paul was chosen as an Apostle to help most Jews realized that Jesus is the Messiah and also to teach converts how to practice Christianity without having to conform to Jewish traditions! Act 9:15; Romans 1:5; 1Timothy 2:7

As for 1914 Jesus foretold that when he returns back to the earth the type of FAITH he established would have vanished {Luke 18:8} but then he will have to appoint a group of people who are earnestly seeking knowledge of God and hand over the work to them so they can continue from where the first century Jewish disciples stopped! Matthew 24:45-46

But wait a minute: how come only one group knew this? Well Jesus is not from our planet {John 8:23} so his way of doing things totally differs from the way humans think!
Even when he came in the flesh just a few among his own people could sense that their long time awaited Messiah is around {John 1:11} just imagine if John the baptist who saw God's Holy Spirit landing like a dove on Jesus' head and heard God's voice confirming that Jesus is the Christ {Matthew 3:17} could express doubt in Jesus {Matthew 11:3} how much more people who only heard about his miraculous works? John 7:5

So when Jesus returned in the spirit the only evidence is how he quickly restructured that group, made them preachers and teachers so that throughout the world every nation could bear witness that Jehovah's Witnesses are doing exactly what Jesus commanded his disciples to do! Matthew 10:11-13 compare to Matthew 5:13-16
Of all the religions claiming Christians on this planet only Jehovah's Witnesses stay away from politics {John 6:15} nepotism and racism {Matthew 12:46-50} social conflicts and wars {Matthew 26:52} have love for their neighbours {Mark 12:31} have undeniable love among themselves {John 13:34-35} and always obedient to those in authority! Matthew 5:41

So no sincere person will say Jesus is not the one responsible for this quick change in the attitude of people within just a century from different races throughout the earth under one umbrella! Act 1:8 smiley

haekymbahd:
Why do trinitarians disbelieve in 1914 Jesus but beleived in the bright light that appeared to Paul?
Jesus came and the whole world didn't know is that a true or false Jesus?
Faith is not a possession of all people {2Thessalonians 3:2} so i can't expect majority of people to grasp the presence of an invisible mighty spirit King whose presence wasn't duly recognized even when he came physically in the flesh! smiley

You are a Worshipper of William Tyndale.
Let me school you more, What does atheist means? It is a Greek word which means not believing in the existence of theo or theos. Now what does theo mean in Hebrew? It means “gift of god” you can use the Yoruba translation or anyone you like.
So when you say I’m an atheist, do you mean I don’t believe in the “gift of god?”, Which is different from the general believe that “atheist” mean not believing in “god”?
If you now want to use the English translation of God not the Greek own, the English translation comes from german origin, Godan which means “to pour”.
Are you saying I don’t believe in “to pour”?

Translation and different versions makes word lose their meaning.

Worshipper and witnesses are different things.
They spelled out what a worshipper is in the Bible, being a witness is just part of it, it’s not the same as it.
This is what happens when you read a VERSION of a book created by your cult members.
I KNOW with the time you spent on Nairaland you've become an atheist and so you don't BELIEVE in any God but now you're furious seeing an highly intelligent BELIEVER that has outsmart you with all the stories you've heard and books you've read all your life! smiley

KNOWLEDGE is the accumulation of useful information so my friend i'm 100% sure that you have it to an extent even though it's not accurate just as a dog KNOWS people around it.

But WISDOM is the PRACTICAL APPLICATION of accumulated information which results in lasting BENEFITS. Oh my friend, only JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES possess it, that's why you have become so restless to the point of saying whatever comes to your mind even though it's of no practical benefits to anyone!

Just like there are gods in west Africa, there are also other gods in Israel, cannann land and Yahweh, Elohim, asheerah, Baal, Elohim are one of them. You only read their JEWISH book(Bible) and you think they are true ones, there is Yoruba religion too, which has his own God and gods, hope you know that olorun is different from Yahweh?
I don’t know about your jehovah though you’ll have to ask William tyndale.
I'm not disputing the fact that there are Gods in other places but then as an intellectual i'm interested in the one and only true God.
So if those Gods are much more intelligent than i do all they need to do is prove it by beating my intelligence.
Listen to a witness of JEHOVAH and meditate thoroughly on this speech:


Not to us, O Jehovah, not to us, But to your name give glory Because of your loyal love and your faithfulness. Why should the nations say: “Where is their God?” Our God is in the heavens; He does whatever he pleases. Their idols are silver and gold, The work of human hands. A mouth they have, but they cannot speak; Eyes, but they cannot see; Ears they have, but they cannot hear; A nose, but they cannot smell; Hands they have, but they cannot feel; Feet, but they cannot walk; They make no sound with their throat. The people who make them will become just like them, As will all those who trust in them" Psalms 115:1-8

Please let me see the worshipers of those Gods and let them convince me that their gods aren't useless, worthless and hopeless just as one of JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES ridiculed them and their worshipers!

Note that of all the worshipers of different Gods on Nairaland you've been following me bumper to bumper, you may choose to deny this fact but in within you you know that this person is truly intelligent. So let it be known to you that i wasn't as intelligent as i am now, it's JEHOVAH who taught me how to silence all worshipers of false Gods intelligently! Isaiah 54:17

Yahweh/yhwh is not the same as olorun. Know your history. And run far away from Jehovah.
MAXInDHouse gave examples of how other gods migrated, but didn’t tell you how the gods of the Jews in isreal, Judah and the rest migrated. cheesy Not fair
All you need to do is politely ask for knowledge and i have no right to deprive you of what you need. For your information Jesus commanded me to teach you the truth about the GOOD NEWS of God's Kingdom. I must never deprive you of that if truly you're disposed to it.

Note that it's the same purpose why other gods are being propagated back then that Jesus also had in mind, because worshipers of those gods want to capture their victims and FORCEFULLY impose their form of worship on them which in turn means it's whatever their god decreed that must happen, meaning it's about rulership not just religion.
Jesus' own God also says He is coming to establish His own rulership (God's Kingdom) meaning it's all about the same purpose.
Yet instead of forcefully imposing his God and right to rule on people Jesus said:

“Return your sword to its place, for all those who take up the sword will perish by the sword" Matthew 26:52

So the one and only God whose worshipers are to propagate worship and right to rule PEACEFULLY has spoken through His only begotten Son, let other gods speak without the use of weapons and bloodshed. That's the only evidence of the TRUE GOD! smiley

Good one from you... If that was the case why did the Roman take Sunday as the official sacred day instead of the Sabbath (Saturday) if what you just said is true?
The Roman Catholic Church has nothing to do with what God commanded in the Old Testament nor what Jesus taught in the New Testament. The first Roman Emperor who claimed he converted to Christianity was looking for a way to promote his own Kingdom so everything the Roman Catholic Church established was to favour their domination of the world not about FAITH!
But as for true Christians since we know that it's the principle that we need to apply and not the law blindly there's no need disputing over the day Romans chose for a relief from work anyday is OK for us as long as we can rest and worship out God! Colossians 2:16-17

In ancient times forms of worship and gods were promoted through WARS, back then it was believed that the greatest god possesses the best army. So world powers back then intimidate their captives into submitting to their own gods and that's how names of gods like Zeus and Hermes reigned due to the Grecian Empire, Jupiter due to the Roman empire. Here in West Africa names of gods like Ògún, Ọbàtálá, Ọ̀ṣẹ̀rẹ̀màgbò, Ṣàngó and so on also reigned due to the Ọ̀yọ́ empire until the White men came to rubbish our armies and established their own religion and since they're able to conquer our people submitted to the name of the winner god of battle.

But in reality the truth about God was first preached by a first century Jewish carpenter known as Jesus of Nazareth.
He commanded his disciples to go and preach what he taught them throughout the earth! Matthew 28:18-20; Act 1:8

Now there has never been any god whose name was preached in a peaceful manner like Jesus commissioned back then {Matthew 5:43-48} that's why most intelligent people throughout the world keep thinking about that young man named Jesus of Nazareth! smiley

Christianity Etc › Re: Did God Himself Made The Jews Reject Jesus? by MaxInDHouse(m): 9:41am On Apr 19, 2022
haekymbahd:
God made a covenant with the isrealite concerning keeping of the sabbath
Exodus 31
16 Wherefore the Israelites shall keep the Sabbath to observe it throughout their generations, a perpetual covenant.
17 [b]It is a sign between Me and the Israelites forever;
for in six days the Lord made the heavens and earth, and on the seventh day He ceased and was refreshed.
[/b]
Now christians don't keep sabbath because it has been abolished.
Why did God breaks his own law of sabbath after saying it was a sign with isrealites forever did God intentionally made the Jews go against Jesus or there is a hole in the narration because I dont see any reason why Jews should beleive Jesus with that Statement does it make sense to you?
The Sabbath is for a purpose so before anyone can perfectly apply that law you need to know understand the purpose of the Sabbath.
According to God Himself the Sabbath is to set a day for sacred things so during that day both you and your staff must take a day off from the stressful day to day activities:

“Six days you shall do your work, but on the seventh day you shall rest; that your ox and your ass may have rest, and the son of your bondmaid, and the alien, may be refreshed" Exodus 23:12

So God wants each of His worshipers to make it a compulsion to get a day off from the hustle and bustle, then use such a day for sacred things!

The nation of Israel was rescued from Egypt and God is their law giver so they must keep it to heart as a lasting principle forever but the Israelites missed the import of this benefitial rule, instead they began turning the Sabbath to a cruel and unreasonable law {Matthew 12:10-12} that's why the Messiah had to correct their wrong view of that rule.
Remember that God told the Israelites that the Messiah will teach them the PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS of all those laws and they must listen to him {Deuteronomy 18:18-19} the reason is because the Messiah has being with the law giver (God) for uncountable years so he knew the perfect application of whatever God says! Proverbs 8:22-31 compare to Colossians 1:15-16

Today Christians live in different countries under the different governments who set their own rules so it's the principle of Sabbath that we must apply not the law.

Thanks for considering our book (Bible) smiley
