Antichristian2:
Gabriel came as a man in the presence of the companions to teach then Islam! And you talk say be Muslim before!
This is elementary in Islam!
So Gabriel taught them all not only the Muhammad. Then what made him the only prophet among them if Gabriel spoke to many Arabians?😟
Christianity Etc › Re: Just Three Questions For Christians! by MaxInDHouse(m):
Antichristian2:
I am telling that this is false. The Bible teaches God knows everything (omniscience) through verses like 1 John 3:20: "God is greater than our hearts and knows everything," and Psalm 139:4: "Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O Lord, you know it altogether," emphasizing His complete knowledge of our thoughts, actions, and future, offering assurance and comfort.
The context is what you are not following. God is greater than our hearts means the writer is talking about how he felt about his past deeds but God knows what prompted humans actions not what all humans will choose to do in the face of trials. That's what John meant.
The Psalmist is talking about how God is reading the ongoing thoughts and deep feelings of His loyal servants not of all humans.
Antichristian2:
Tell me how is Jehovah fair & Just to make Adam sin and then let his other descendants inherit the sin only to later change stance and say "the soul that sins will die". Ezekiel 18:20?
Jesus died for Adamic sin for which there is going to be a resurrection that differs from what each human chooses to do whether good or evil depending on the circumstances they face. So God is saying what each person chooses to do will lead to their death but whether they die as conscience of their evil intentions Adamic sin still awaits all humans that is the one Jesus paid for.

Antichristian2:
How did Jesus pay back the sins of those who died before his coming to the world? How is the payback equitable to what is owed?
Adam & Eve only ate something from a tree! Then Jesus had to be punished, crucified and then died for 3 days & nights!
Adam and Eve were perfect so nothing could have been the reason why they failed to live by the law God gave them unlike their descendants facing countless challenges that's beyond their control so God sent Jesus to save Adam's descendants out of that helpless situation.

Antichristian2:
What fairness and justice is in punishing someone else for the sin of others?
And of what importance is "God saying Adam will die when he eats from the tree"? If he has died then what sin remains again?
Adam is the one God created directly all others came from Adam so they have inherited the imperfection Adam brought upon them through his disobedience. Only a perfect human without sin can pay for Adamic sin that infected his innocent descendants.

You should have asked why only Jesus was born through the breath of God!🙂

A man I met in field ministry before COVID told me he had bloodless heart surgery & he is doing fine.
He said he chose that option when the surgeon explained to him in detail what it is & recovery rate compared to the other one.
We met at a mechanic workshop in my territory.
The man said it made him appreciate JWs more than before,now he has personal experience of the matter that JW's fought for,to respect patients rights.
But PIMO will continue deceiving himself claiming selfwoke!🙂

So, it was the spirit of the anti-christ that brought Christianity to Nigeria?!
Look, you might have an issue with the main stream religion, but you cannot deny that the Holy Spirit worked through them and brought the light of GOD to regions of the world where darkness held dominion. You would not have heard of Jesus if not for their efforts. Please give them their flowers when you need to.
Those people brought politics to Africa that's why they did the exact opposite of what Jesus commanded his disciples:

Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. Matthew 10:16

They hurt our people and replaced our system of rulership with their own then established a system of rule which they can always manipulate.

That is not Christianity Jesus sent his own disciples to meet individuals one on one preaching from house to house so that whoever doesn't want their message is free to reject it not some forceful religion claiming they are from the Prince who never use force to teach people! Isaiah 9:6

you are a funny person,so engaging in politics means I can’t engage with delusional people like you?
Politics makes people mean and hateful so instead of seeing the brighter side of things they are bent on picking faults.
So it's better to be delusional as you call it than being hateful and aggressively abusive towards people who never hurt me in any way!🙂

mehhnnn i still have a long way to go ..you not far from the truth though ..thank you
Jesus sent his disciples to connect all faithful people throughout the world and said they should TEACH them what he commanded in the Bible. Matthew 28:18-20
If you read the cited verse you will note that he said something about all powers in heaven and on earth has been given to him this indicates that there are other spirit forces trying to reach out to people through many means including reading sacred books but with what Jesus did God has given him authority over all principalities that is why those whom he sent to teach others must always be together when searching the scriptures for knowledge since he will be present with them there {Matthew 18:20} the Jews had the scriptures too but because they rejected Jesus demons took away their glory and many evil things befell that nation. In fact Jesus told his disciples to run away whenever they notice that destruction is coming upon Jerusalem the capital city of ancient Jewish people. Luke 21:20-24
Most people starting churches today are doing personal research and demons are supporting them to gather followers for material gains.
So if you want to learn from the Bible don't be selfish with your quest God is not enriching anyone today for being His worshiper what we are unitedly praying for is His promised Kingdom! Matthew 6:10

Zestzealotzenit:
I don't want to experience it cus I feel I will die jus a little I felt in another world...anytime am alone it comes up.
You are getting closer to demons that is why you are having such feelings and if care is not taken you may start hearing voices instructing you on how to become famous or wealthy but i'm assuring you now that the end will be really disastrous!😟

is that all u can come up with?
Check how many post you drop here on daily basis and see where your heart goes.
So your heart treasures politics more than anything else therefore when talking about faith in God you won't be able to cope instead you might even become aggressively abusive.
I'm sorry there is no need engaging me regarding faith in God.
Thanks.

the Bible god claim to be all knowing,so the god knows both the present and the future,the god is a murderer and a blood sucking,heartless being.
He encouraged covetousness and other bad things to name
Dear Politicians i know you won't rest after reading my post but then try focus on what really matters mostly to you this is about faith in God not politics.
Thanks!😟

Your write up is simply a matter of perspective. Everything that happened, happened because it needed to happen and could not have happened any other way. The hand of God was upon the faith and all was set in place to put the path on a trajectory of growth and dominance. State power or not, the spread of Christianity was the will of GOD. It still remains a legitimate route to experiencing the consciousness of GOD despite the many failings of the priests and leaders that walk the path.
Every religion goes through a phase of standardization. Rome played a role in streamlining the path of Christianity, but it was still the spirit of GOD pulling the strings from behind the scenes.
By the time Rome began fighting and killing people for religion Christianity has disappeared from the surface of planet earth.
What Jesus taught totally differs from the religion of Romans Jesus himself said this will happen after his disciples die off! Matthew 13:25
So by the time Rome was going about claiming they are propaganting a religion for Christ it was the spirit of the Antichrist that's working not God's holy spirit.

I have been trying to have it mostly anytime im reading the Bible sometimes wen m alone whenever it comes I feel I'm going to die or running mad I jus feel death I jus can't understand myself then it goes away not until I saw it on tiktock
You need to read the Bible with a totally different mindset, the Bible wasn't made for a personal upbringing rather it's for a conventional development of God's loyal servants globally.
So when reading it always focus on what God wants His worshipers to do together not thinking about how He will speak to you in person that is the selfish motive most people had which led them into the hands of demons. undecided

Antichristian2:
God is All-Knowing even from your scripture 1 John 3:20, Psalm 147:5 and Hebrews 4:13. Seems you are forgeting things abi na ignorance!
I have told you that God knows what He wants to do and nothing can stop Him as He has a master plan but regarding what each human will choose to do He doesn't claim to know that because our way of thinking is not one way like other creatures! Genesis 6:5
Antichristian2:
Which humans have done so? Are they exempted from Romans 3:23....for all have sinned...?
That is about Adamic sin inherit not the sin each human committed! Romans 5:12 compare to Psalms 51:5
Antichristian2:
So in JW parlance how did Jesus (in a fair and just way) died for each and everyone's sin?
Jesus paid back Adamic sin which infected all humans. John 1:29
Christianity Etc › Re: How Did Paul Know It Was Jesus Talking To him? by MaxInDHouse(m): 2:34pm On Dec 11, 2025
Antichristian2:
So the light came specifically for Paul amongst others? That's how lies are constructed! One-way traffic and no other source! When Jesus was on earth he could have done the same thing and not wait for later! If Jesus were to come later then that means the 12 disciples (including Mathias) were useless!
The highlighted is noteworthy please how many people saw or heard the voice of Gabriel while talking to Muhammad who claimed he got all the inspirations about the Quran from angel Gabriel?🤔
Christianity Etc › Re: Marriage Is Honourable In All, And The Bed Undefiled: by MaxInDHouse(m): 11:03am On Dec 11, 2025
Mosco100:
“ Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.”(Hebrews 13:4). Amen.
Adam and Eve were created to live in the garden of Eden as youths forever so the idea of growing old or dying doesn't occur to them neither does Eve's beauty diminish one bit.
It was rebellion that caused their oldage sickness and finally death.
So whoever wants to live forever in God's Kingdom must continue to see his or her partner the same way you met him or her before you agreed to become husband and wife because in Paradise you and your spouse will not grow older neither will any of you have a reason to cheat therefore those practicing such things should find a way to end it now because God will not permit suffering, pain or tears in Paradise of course you know that cheating do lead to heartbreak and surely those causing it can't be citizens in a place where God doesn't want His worshipers to feel pain of any kind! Revelation 21:2-3
Christianity Etc › Re: Just Three Questions For Christians! by MaxInDHouse(m): 10:43am On Dec 11, 2025
Antichristian2:
1. If God is all-loving and forgiving, why didn’t He teach Adam to ask for forgiveness and forgive both himself and Eve? Since God created Adam and sin, shouldn’t He have established a system of forgiveness from the very beginning?
The Bible God never claimed to be all knowing rather He knows the beginning and end of what He purposed {Revelations 22:13} since there is nothing that can stop Him so whatever stands as obstacles will be uprooted {Isaiah 55:9-10} but as for what each person will choose to do that is left to humans! Genesis 22:12

Antichristian2:
2. If God gave mankind laws in the Old Testament knowing that people would struggle to fully obey them, can God still be considered loving and just? Isn’t it said that God should not burden people beyond what they can bear?
Some humans successfully lived by God's laws that's evidence that what He asked for is not beyond our ability.

Antichristian2:
3. If Jesus were to save even one person from eternal punishment in Hell, wouldn’t He need to endure an equivalent eternal punishment Himself? If He saves billions, does that mean He must spend billions of eternities in Hell? How can three days and three nights of death save billions from an eternal Hell? Where is the fairness in that?
God never talked about eternal torment the wages (punishment) for sin is death {Romans 6:23 compare to Genesis 2:17} the idea of sustaining living dead is from Satan who said there is nothing called death! Genesis 3:4
Christianity Etc › Re: How Did Paul Know It Was Jesus Talking To him? by MaxInDHouse(m): 10:34am On Dec 11, 2025
Antichristian2:
How many people where with Paul when it happened?
Those traveling with Paul didn't see the light that blinded him and they were sent by the Pharisees furiously against anyone who says anything about Jesus so just as they intimated Jews never to declare faith in Christ Jesus they can do even much more to their own servants.
That's why only Paul could speak about his own story.
Majority of people always succumb to intimidation and fear! sad
Christianity Etc › Re: Can God Forget Something? by MaxInDHouse(m):
The Hebrew word translated remember connotes taking action for instance when God said He will remember His covenant with Jacob, Isaac and Abraham {Leviticus 26:42} this means taking action to fulfill what He promised to the patriarchs even though majority of their descendants are disobedient.
So the verse is saying God will not allow the rain to wipe away life again as it does in the days of Noah.

“And they will no longer teach each one his neighbor and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know Jehovah!’ for they will all know me, from the least to the greatest of them,” declares Jehovah. “For I will forgive their error, and I will no longer remember their sin.” Jeremiah 31:34

The highlighted in red doesn't mean God will literally forget their sins rather it means He will not act on such past events anymore!🙂

Christianity Etc › Re: Reply To 10 Things Catholics Do That The Apostles Didn’t. by MaxInDHouse(m): 5:53am On Dec 11, 2025
btoks:
Did Jesus establish a Church with teaching authority?
YES! Matthew 28:20

btoks:
What did he mean when he said whoever hears you, hears me?
The church is the body of Christ so when individuals kick against what the church has decided upon such individuals are no longer members of God's family! Matthew 18:15-17; Romans 16:17; Titus 3:10; 2John 10-11; Jude 19

btoks:
- Did the Church have authority to rule on the judaizer issue in Acts 15?
YES! Jesus told Peter and his companion that whatever they bind on earth has been bound in heaven and whatever they loosen on earth has been loosened in heaven {Matthew 16:19} that's why all members of the first century Christians family welcomed the decree of the elders and Apostles in Jerusalem! Act 15:23-29
btoks:
- Does scripture truly teach an absolute ban on all images?
YES! The first century disciples of Christ refused to use any image of Jesus nor bow to it that is why they were able to cofus on teaching by the time use of images was introduced Christianity has gone to sleep as Christ's Apostles were all asleep in death {Matthew 13:25} Jesus himself knew what Satan is capable of doing with imperfect humans that's why he asked "when i return will i still meet the faith i taught has it was established?" Luke 18:8
What is the spiritual danger behind the use of images?
When worshipers are attached to images they will no longer keep sacred writings in their hearts instead their fears and attention will be directed at the images.
For instance what do you think members of the Catholic Church who are fighting and killing fellow worshipers during war will do if both opposing sides came to the battle line with the image of Peter?
Do you think they will still go ahead with the fighting and killing while looking at Peter standing right there?
Of course not!
So the image is what they keep in their hearts and not the words of Jesus who said:

"I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, you also love one another. By this all will know that you are my disciples—if you have love among yourselves.” John 13:34-35

But since the images is what they respect mostly and they don't go to war with either the image of Peter or Mary it is easier for them to fight and kill their fellow worshipers while the images are safe at home instead of carrying the images to the battle line and watch carefully who will dare strike the image of Mary or Peter even though such a person may claim he did so mistakingly!😟

If you observe trending socal media topics you will understand that Nigerians as a people don't think deeply & don't rely on fact based research to analyze serious issues. 97% respond to a matter not on the basis of fact based research. They respond to matters with sentiments, biases & prejudices.
The funny thing is even when there is proof that God's people are doing the right thing many still want to accuse us.

If not for Nairaland i wouldn't have known why Jesus said sin against God's holy spirit will never be forgiven {Matthew 12:31-32} imagine the so called PIMO claiming blood transfusion saves life when many that aren't even JWs are rejecting it based on research. smiley
Christianity Etc › Re: How Did Paul Know It Was Jesus Talking To him? by MaxInDHouse(m): 1:24pm On Dec 10, 2025
Antichristian2:
How did Paul recognize that it was Jesus speaking to him during his encounter on the road to Damascus, considering he had never met Jesus while He was alive and was initially opposed to Him? Furthermore, how did Paul, who had no prior personal relationship with Jesus, become a devoted follower and go on to write more than half of the New Testament, surpassing even the other eleven disciples combined?
Imagine a man having the power to cure all manners of sickness including raising the dead back to like and even control forces of nature like wind and sea but was murdered then his followers are claiming he has been raised from the dead. So the politicians who killed him were furious and ready to deal with his disciples and you are a member of the party against this man's glory therefore you are going about with letter from the authorities to arrest and imprison those claiming this man is alive then suddenly what happened to Paul occurred to you.

Between you and his followers who has been following him but never experienced such a direct encounter who do you think supposed to have more to say about this wonderful man?🤔

Brothers, the goodwill of my heart and my supplication to God for them are indeed for their salvation. For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to accurate knowledge. For because of not knowing the righteousness of God but seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the Law, so that everyone exercising faith may have righteousness. Romans 10:1-4

Till today the Jews as a nation finds it really hard to believe Jesus died for mankind's sin!
