You just need to do so with action not words!

If you've stolen something from someone in the past (before you become a Christian) and you're feeling it may hinder you from entering God's Kingdom. All you need to do is go back to that person and pay back as a gift without making it public, you don't have to say a word about what happened in the past, you are paying what you stole secretly back in secret.

In the case where the person is dead then go on your knees and tell God what you intend to do but death has caused a breakup between you and the person. This is necessary because the person is dead and no more in need of worldly possessions. Then you can take what you supposed to give him/her to help paupers around you (without announcing it) because if it's announced then it can't pay off what you stole anymore, you've received the glory by making it public, remember you want to pay back what you stole in secret so you must pay back in secret! Matthew 6:2

false jw mad max
i have denied your lie that im a cohort of one believing
that God is created
and i certainly do deny that you cannot stop lying false jw's
are any better than an atheist
Joh 8:44  You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, that is his natural way of speaking, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

So because i mentioned your name in a post is that why you want to hook me up with your stupidity?
John abeg go sleep jàre!

I DONT MEAN TO HURT ANYBODY but this sentence ''Jesus is coming soon'' is unture and deceptive. Even though i am suffering and in lack, i have stopped thinking about myself and rather pay attention to my surrounding
When i look around me, i see alot of suffering and hunger, i see alot of pain and hopelessness, i see alot of hurt and diseases.
certainly i can tell ''jesus isnt coming soon''. This world is bleeped up on so many levels with all sort of deception
SOON is the same as never. Nobody is coming to save you, me or the poor and needy.
we are just looking for a way to escape reality. I want to escape. I want to escape this unforgiving world; this poverty stricken world
rat race and struggles that ends ultimately in death.
After all the struggles to ''BECOME'' nobody wins at the end. its a fuckedup situation

Nevermind my friend your sincerity is enough to tell that you're not here to hurt anyone so whoever feels hurt should check himself or herself because it's time to ask ourselves such honest and sincere question.

What most people like you need is a study of the Bible with Jesus' true disciples (JWs) then you'll be able to answer for yourself after a diligent study of God's word.

Let's consider few scriptures:

God never set up expiring dates for humans, He created us with bodies that could last for all eternity {Genesis 1:26-28} rebellion against God's authority led to a break and the breathe God breath into man began expiring {Genesis 3:17-19} expiring dates set in {Genesis 5:5} and ever since then all faithful servants of God has been anticipating a time when God will restore us back to the mode we were created in the beginning. Job 14:13-15
But before then a case needed to be settled:
Between humans and the Almighty God who should set the standard for good and evil? Genesis 2:7
This is why God allowed for few days to settle the case between God and mankind. By the time mankind is through with all their system of government where none could bring LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, GOODNESS, GENTLENESS, FAITH, MILDNESS and SELF-CONTROL {Galatians 5:22-23} in their society God will bring his own government which will destroy all of them {Daniel 2:44} and set all obedient mankind free from slavery to cruel human governments! Ecclesiastes 4:1; 8:9

Sorry, the few days will last for thousands of years {2Peter 3:8} so that mankind may be given enough time to try all forms of government they can think of.

So how come true believers now agree that the time for God's government is now? Matthew 6:9-10

Well look at the world around you and think for a moment if you can find any country in the world where the citizens are enjoying the full benefits of citizenship {Micah 4:4} that's why most people like you are saying:

Even though i am suffering and in lack, i have stopped thinking about myself and rather pay attention to my surrounding
When i look around me, i see alot of suffering and hunger, i see alot of pain and hopelessness, i see alot of hurt and diseases.

The good news of God's Kingdom is that all these things you're experiencing today will never come up again when God's (Kingdom) kick off.
There will be lots of food for everyone {Psalms 72:16} that's why Jesus (God's Son) practicalized it's possiblity for Israelites when he visited this planet! John 6:10-13
There will be no sickness {Isaiah 33:24} Jesus did this to prove that it's possible! Luke 6:17-19
All amputees will be healed {Isaiah 35:5-6} Jesus proved that this is possible! Matthew 12:13
All evildoers will be destroyed {Psalms 37:7-11 compare to Isaiah 11:4-5}
God will swallow up death forever {Isaiah 25:8 compare to Revelations 21:3-5}
All faithful people who has died before then will be called back to life {John 5:28-29 compare to Job 14:13-15} and all faithful ones who have grown old or wornout by that time will never taste death at all {John 11:25-26} rather they will gradually return to their youthful vigor! Job 33:25

All these may sound impossible for you and i who never saw any Jesus but read about him in books, right?

Well, will you like to know why millions across the globe are happily anticipating the coming of Christ today? It's because they're seeing the fulfilment of something Jesus promised that will take place shortly before his government start ruling the earth!

If you want to know i will show you things happening now around you that has never been so in the history of mankind, this shows that Jesus' government is fast approaching!

Good morning, God bless you and may you have PEACE!

johnw47:
i don't know anything about oteneaaron, haven't been reading his posts

OK, you have denied the atheist.
Thanks for this.
Next!

LordIsaac:
He is not.

What do you know about the tenets of first century Jewish Rabbis called Pharisees?

Guy when fully competent Bible students are talking, try to learn.

Pharisees are religious leaders who makes heavy rules and put it round the neck of gullible people. They will not lift any of such rules with their own finger but furious at those who step on their man-made rules.

To start with.
Where in the Bible did God forbid makeups, Jewelries, hairstyles for women?
Where did God forbid alcoholic beverages and musical instruments?
Kumuyi has loaded those people with all these unscriptural teachings yet they're not capable of preaching and teaching with efficacy. All what they know is Kumuyi (not what's written in the Bible) and anyone not attending their church is a sinners!

Now after his inability to become Nigeria's most respected pastor he's now regretting all his useless rules, but those who has been misled by his pharisaic teachings are calling him out today!

Osagyefo98:
All these grammar just to refute s known truth.
Nsukka has large percentage of Muslims.

OK, it's a free world!

LordIsaac:
Stop accusing a decent man please.

Kumuyi, a decent man!
Well maybe because you don't understand God's word, he is just a modern day Pharisee!

LordIsaac:
I do....and I've listened to him for about 30 years.

Well he stole artistic impressions on our books to publish those books!

LordIsaac:
Probably old enough for you to call uncle, young man.

Good!
Do you have any of his publications in the 80s?
Because if you're old enough to be my age you should know when Kumuyi was using all the artistic impressions on our publications to print his magazines only for him to change the messenges in our books!

Even Kumuyi himself can't deny that he still has our "Reasoning From The Scriptures" in his shelf. That's a publication that JWs don't give out. Even during the days when our books were paid for this publication is kept only within JWs.
For your information, Kumuyi has a copy in his shelf!

LordIsaac:
Not Pastor Kumuyi, trust me on that

Mr Trust, how old are you?

Scatterscatter:
I learnt something a long time ago, you can't enlighten a "religious person" so there is no point discussing this further with you.

What's the benefits of your so called enlightenment?

LordIsaac:
No...he was never a JW.

Guy when people want to tell you their story it's only what they choose to tell you that you'll know.
Kumuyi was once a JW but he kept it away from the public.
How do you think he was restricting his followers from doing everything that JWs don't do?
In the 80s a JW publication talked about TV and straightforward to tell all his disciples to throw away their TVs. Christmas he will not celebrate, he taught his disciples not to mingle with members of other churches only to turn them to sadists.
It's OK that's another day's STORY!

SisterFire:
...You are neither here nor there ! Y max , one day you gonna get ur ass caught up in confusion like wise budaatum

How do you expect me to start thinking for another person?

AntiChristian:
Are you now in the business of pitting us against each other? And that's either biblical or JW-ish!

Have you ever found me on any Muslim thread?
Well it's because i hate chatting with unreasonable people, and most of you are just like that.
So instead of quoting me go after them they want to chat with you!

SisterFire:
...my dear can you tell us y she hates religious man?

I think she's in the best position to answer that Ma!

AntiChristian:
You are a liar! The Arabs never forced any Book on my Parents. I didn't get my religion from my Parents. I got it from conviction! Stop using your little experience to judge others. You are old and going senile derailing threads with your false Christian colleagues who are just your neighbors (and not your brothers!)

No Wahala!
You can now face your warrant i'm not interested in chatting with you!
The below commentator need your attention!

GreatAxeMan:
All Muslims are like their prophet in the final analysis.

LordIsaac:
None that I know of.

Well Kumuyi was once a JW so he knew that polygamists have no place in God's kingdom.
As regards ancient servants of God who were polygamists during their life time they will be resurrected as singles because death ends there former marriages, then they have to submit to what God's only begotten son taught us about Paradise!

Scatterscatter:
"Troubles" are inevitable where ever you find humans. Is polygamy the cause of our economic downturn or insecurities all around?

Well if you don't know get it right in your mind today that POLYGAMY is the source of most evil in the world today!

Scatterscatter:
You still haven't given any reasonable point as to why polygamy is a sin.

I'm not the one who spoke against it, Jesus of Nazareth did!

Scatterscatter:
Mind you, virginity has absolutely noting to do with being morally upright or being right in the sight of God.

Of course it has everything to do with it, you only need to study God's word thoroughly not just reading it! Proverbs 2:1-5

simplyOJ:
Please can you expand it further? How did the convenant make Isaac's own farmland to produce so well in the absence of rain during a famine?

This are the reasons why we believe in God's ability to renovate this planet.
Remember He CURSED the ground {Genesis 3:17} that's why there are deserts in some places where nothing can grow. But the same God promised to bless the earth and make it produce in abundance! Psalms 67:6; 85:12

If this is not recorded in the history of those He blessed {Hebrews 12:1} how do you expect us to put our trust in Him?

LordIsaac:
He did.

So how many polygamists do you find in his church?

SisterFire:
Era of universal codes has seen great changes against the Religion of the Holy triangle ( Christianity and Islam ) . Satan and Lucifer are losing big-time .AND HUNGER GO FINISH U PASTORS
Cc :
Christians see for urselves : kpakpandon , Badradio , Nella , kobojunkie( Zombified heaven seeker ) , MaxInDHouse , knotty , olaadegbu ,workch , openyoureyes1

I love this post like die!

Go and ask people anywhere on this planet about JW wives, how they're being treated like jewels by their JW spouses!

So if your god has failed to keep your marriage happy, i don't think there's any reason to continue worshiping such a useless god!

oteneaaron:
First and foremost researchers in the world my foot.
That is exactly why I call you IGNORANT.
Upon all their research, they still LIE and make fake prophecies.
Only to end up using another LIE to cover the first LIE aka "new light"

I don't need to keep reminding you of the unequal BENEFITS of their research.

And mind you there are lots and lots of madmen and madwomen across the globe, each making research on things you may not notice like toiletries, rags, wornout shoes and other things they pick or found at dump sites.
So they're also unnoticed researchers, there is lots of similarities between you and them since there is no BENEFIT derived from your so called RESEARCH just as theirs is only known (understood) by them!

oteneaaron:
Look at you.
So when I tell you to do research, you think you're doing it for me?
Ignorance at it's peak.
I don't need to prove anything to you.
My research is for myself.
The goal is to become better than you were yesterday and realize that all you have been searching for, has been inside you all along.
But like I have told you many times now, Do Your Research!

Your problem is leaving what has benefits for what is worthless!

I'm one of Jehovah's Witnesses the first and foremost researchers in the world!

So when you talk about research and you have nothing to show for it, will you now listen to those whose research has yielded lots and lots of BENEFITS?

oteneaaron:
That is exactly why I called you IGNORANT.

You can't even do your mind a small favor by not been bound to one narrow world view.

Do yourself a favor, take a break from Nairaland and go read books that will help you break free from this indoctrination, and cognitive dissonance that plagues you.

Is that not what i'm asking you?
I've heard you read so many books, that's why i'm asking for the benefit of the BOOKS you've been reading nah!
Don't forget i'm not a boy like you so you need to show me the benefit of your BOOKS, abi you just dey read for READING sake?
No wonder most of you end up in the streets after reading and reading and reading you'll become Man NO WORK!

LordIsaac:
These are things I was thought in Children Church department of Deeperlife those years. Thanks.

And did Kumuyi teach you the PRACTICAL APPLICATION of those verses?
It's not about looking like an old woman without make-up o!

When the true God introduced himself to the man called Abraham, God clearly stated that all the nations has been alienated from Him so Abraham and his offspring will serve as the race that will bring other races back to the through God! Genesis 12:1-3

So all the nations on this planet were worshipers of fallen angels (demons) that's why a believer need to make his personal research to know traditions or customs that those demons are using to lure people away from the true God! Luke 13:24

LordIsaac:
That means divorcees are also in the same ship?

“Go in through the narrow gate, because broad is the gate and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are going in through it; whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are finding it" Matthew 7:13-14

“Exert yourselves vigorously to get in through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will seek to get in but will not be able. Luke 13:24

~ Jesus of Nazareth

fortuneerondu:
Please go to bed. Your premise has no basis in the word. This is a satanic teaching, how can you be telling people Jesus asked them to marry one wife and one husbands simply because your emotions tells you that. We're asking for proofs and you're twisting the Bible without logic. Jesus in Matthew 19 was talking about Adultery and in all of the Bible Jesus never spoke on the issue of Polygamy. You can't be a Muslim trying to rubbish our faith using a fake moniker.

My friend, it's not by force that you accept what i'm saying. You're free to choose your path but you can't prevent others from airing what God's Holy Spirit taught them.
So relax it's all about what the so called Presbyterian Pastor thought and what others thought!

Scatterscatter:
You need understanding. That's all I have to say

Keep deceiving yourself!

You don't know how polygamy is leading to more and more troubles in the human society shey?

Just know that if all men are monogamists all unmarried women will keep their virginity!

fortuneerondu:
You were talking about stoning adulterers to death blah blah blah. Why do you speak like an uncircumcised philistine? So of what purpose is the sacrifice of Jesus if you have to stone adulterers to death? Or does your Bible not include "He without sin should cast the first stone"? Please go and study your Bible and show yourself approved before you mess up all the sacrifices of our Lord Jesus Christ

My friend Jesus wasn't talking about stoning an adulterer but equating polygamy to adultery. In other words Jesus is saying:
if you people want to stone a woman who has a secret lover outside her marriage, then you shouldn't spare the man who refused to satisfy his wife after exhausting his energy with side chics or other women!

So whatever is good for the goose equally goes for the ganda!

fortuneerondu:
Okay. Agreed so please point us to the command by Jesus Christ that said what you're trying to posit as his words?

Do you think Jesus was making laws like what was written by Moses?
Come on, this is the fulfilment of what God told Jeremiah the prophet:

"For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares Jehovah. “I will put my law within them, and in their heart I will write it. And I will become their God, and they will become my people" Jeremiah 31:33

Jesus wrote God's standards in the hearts of his disciples through his thoughts, words and actions. So if you're not moved to OBEY what Jesus taught in that Bible book it's not by force. You can marry as many as you wish. But know that some women are also demanding for their right to marry more than one husband today. And since it's not prohibited anywhere in God's laws or written, they are advocating FEMINISM!

LordIsaac:
Thanks. But what is now the fate of all existing polygamists from the foregoing?

According to Jesus Christ of Nazareth all those engaged in polygamy are as worse in God's sight as adulterers. In God's laws adulterers are to be stoned to death and nobody will give them a befitting burial because they're not expected to partake in the resurrection. Psalms 9:17

So if any man wants Jesus in his life he must return what he has taken unworthily:


But Zac·chaeʹus stood up and said to the Lord: “Look! The half of my belongings, Lord, I am giving to the poor, and whatever I extorted from anyone, I am restoring four times over.” At this Jesus said to him: “Today salvation has come to this house, because he too is a son of Abraham. For the Son of man came to seek and to save what was lost.” Luke 19:8-10

This are the things that contributed to the intense hatred most Jews had for Jesus, because he is asking them to go and amend their ways before they can think of everlasting life.
So a polygamist only need to release the other women he took in during the time of ignorance they are all what he took unworthily, if all the women in the world know today that no man will marry more than one. There won't be a single woman without virtuous habits but because they knew some men will take them in as either second wife or side chics 80% of women don't care about God's arrangement: MARRIAGE! Hebrews 13:4

May you have PEACE!
