This thread was opened in 2023 when this place was called Religion section. Why trying to lie? This guy opened his thread and had totally destroyed and annihilated you and your society on these pages to which you have no response except to tell bare face lies and try to derail his thread.
If you don't want Atheists and free thinkers here then let's pressure the owner/ administrator/Seun to open a Philosophy/Free thinkers section. However until that is done: WE ALL DIE HERE!!!

Ọmọ using another account won't save your face o!

Present a publication of Jehovah's Witnesses where a date was mentioned in connecticut with the end of the world!

Truvelisback:
I have just told you that the word "Rapture", is homonymous. The word has more than one meaning stop twisting it to mean another thing.

That's the more reason why it doesn't go well for what these churches want to use it for since it carries many meanings which includes RAPE a sign of sudden attack unlike what Jesus has prepared the minds of his own disciples!

Truvelisback:
And you feel these people and their comments is enough proof that they are better? What if I start bringing up positive comments of other believers? Let me be frank here, if you think all JW members are people nice or kindhearted people, then you must be compromising. I have met many of them. They are very secretive and some of them aren't what you portay them to be. The only good thing about them is that they don't wash their dirty linen in the public and they try to prevent their inner saga from getting to the public.

The highlighted shows you don't have accurate knowledge of God's word!

Did Jesus say all his disciples will be nice?
The answer is NO!
But you can't worship the true God in any other gathering except within his disciples.
WHY?
Because God's holy spirit only operates in the gathering of Jesus' disciples and what is the evidence?
People with different characters, from different nations and status will humbly agree to do what Jesus commanded his disciples as one organized people.
That's the WORK of God's active force which observers will see and start commending the group not individual niceness if it's about individual niceness there is no religion on this planet where you won't find nice people among them just as there were also bad ones among Jesus' disciples.
But God's holy spirit will suppress their sinful traits and imperfect so that by the time they gather to do what Jesus taught them it's the qualities of God's Holy Spirit they will exhibit as a group not their individual sinful traits.

Do you understand now?😟

Congratulations!
I really appreciate the way you now speak boldly about your religion.
Well-done!

jesusjnr2020:
Ok.. how about church leaders threatening their members with death and hell fire because of tithes?
Are they any better?

The OP is mocking your faith, he doesn't believe in Christianity!🤔

Truvelisback:
The word "Rapture", is homonymous. You have explained the meaning.
*The act of carrying, conveying, transporting or sweeping along by force of movement; the force of such movement; the fact of being carried along by such movement.

Well Jesus told his disciples some will be chosen and taken as his corulers to the place where he is going, he also warned them to get prepared {Matthew 25:1-13} but the meaning of the word RAPTURE totally negates that because from the Oxford dictionary rapture is sudden arrest without the knowledge or consent of captives that's why it is synonymous with RAPE!😟

Truvelisback:
JW belief is wrong. It is written in your JW that way because they edited what the Bible says to suit their belief. That's why you guys have your own Bible. HolySpirit is active in every genuine group of believers.

Going by the highlighted i believe Jesus who said:

"By their fruits you will recognize them. Never do people gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles, do they?  Likewise, every good tree produces fine fruit, but every rotten tree produces worthless fruit. A good tree cannot bear worthless fruit, nor can a rotten tree produce fine fruit" Matthew 7:16-18

James seconded this saying:

"Indeed, just as the body without spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead" James 2:26

So instead of judging based on your own preconceived thought why not present a gathering of worshipers where Mr Holy Spirit is actively helping them to exhibit His fine qualities as a group? Galatians 5:22-23

Jehovah's Witnesses say the holy spirit is their God's active force and the whole world can see it WORKING OUT WHAT IS FINE in their gathering! Matthew 5:14-16

APOPTOSIS:
JEHOVAH'S WITNESS is operating at a different level.
They have been steadfast, resolute and committed.
I hold no grudge against them. They downplay commercialization of churches.
They entertain persecutions a lot, in fact more than several Christian bodies.
Seems in their church everyone is at same level irrespective of your degree, financial acquaintance and contacts.
And it seems they obey the Bible the most:
-They hardly disturb neighbors during prayers.
-They frown at intimidation and flamboyant lifestyles.
-They ensure financial gifts are covered and never displeased at whatever they recieve.
-Their members would make good politicians but they frown at politics
I respect them. I judge based on actions and not what I'm told.

BafanaBafana:
Quite true. JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES are actually one of the few denominations who are still following Christ. Most churches now are headed by motivational speakers who only use the name of Jesus to preach other things. The goal is to attract members to their church and the members will bring the money.
Shikena!

Oye0404:
well said, once had a witness DAT comes around for years, truth is,dis guys are so caring and accommodating. lots if misconceptions about dem..

XXLDICK:
They remain the most peaceful Christian denomination.
They do not pay tithes. They are the only Christian denomination yet to be commercialized. They are my favourite.
Cons:
They do not recite the national anthem.
They do not participate in elections.
They do not accept blood transfusion.

freethinker01:
Tho I don't like their disturbance, I'd have to say they're far better than all their Christian tithe whoring counterparts.

boss1310:
The way they are hated makes me to think sometimes they might be the true Christians but I might be wrong.

Deway52:
I am convinced that JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES are the real religion, they do everything in line with the bible.
Na small time remain for me now, I don enter. If everybody in the world is a jw the world would be a better place.

Love800:
I would love to be a JEHOVAH'S WITNESS, because of their gentle life. Relaxed service and programs(not those stressful and loud types), and serenity of their church yard. Infact, its this serenity of their abode that blows my mind!

But the thing that worries me, is their misled teachings. How can you say that we are not going to die, but remain on earth and unite with our love ones and live happily together forever!

So please mention just one church where Mr Holy Spirit is actively helping them to perform like this if truly you know Mr Holy Spirit better than Jehovah's Witnesses!😟

Truvelisback:
They used it because the word "Rapture", is synonymous to be taken up or transported up just as Jesus illustrated.

RAPTURE Oxford dictionary:
*Extreme pleasure, happiness or excitement.

*In some forms of fundamentalist Protestant eschatology, the event when Jesus returns and gathers the souls of living and deceased believers.

*The act of kidnapping or abducting, especially the forceful carrying off of a woman.

*Rape; ravishment; sexual violation.

*The act of carrying, conveying, transporting or sweeping along by force of movement; the force of such movement; the fact of being carried along by such movement.

Please since the meaning varies why not leave it exactly as found in the scriptures?

Goosethetruth:
You should ignore that guy and get on with your thread. Anyone can see he has no points and is only trying to derail and distort the point of the thread.
He and that Truth guy are one and the same. They have no points to counter superior knowledge and as such try to derail threads . The mods need to look into these kind of behaviour.

Caveatemptor:
The bible claims to be a religious book. In this thread I will seek to find out how true this claim is with quoted passages from specific books,chapters and verses.
You are therefore free to keep your Bible handy as the thread proceeds.
Thank you.

The section is titled CHRISTIANITY e.t.c so if you don't want Bible believers to comment on your thread it's either you don't come to this section or you don't type negative things about God's word!😟

Truvelisback:
The Holy spirit is a person, not a force as JW claimed He is. The Bible used a pronoun "He", to describe Him. JW Bible is misleading.

So do you know any group of believers in whose gathering Mr Holy Spirit is active?
Jehovah's Witnesses say it's God's active force and they have so much WORKS to back up their faith! James 2:18-26😟

Truvelisback:
There is no word called rapture in the Bible. The Bible only use the word "Sudden taken up or taken", in place of the word ,"Rapture".

So why do most religionists use rapture when it doesn't appear in any version of the Bible?😟

Truvelisback:
How does your long epistle correlate to your topic?

Read with your mind eyes you will see!

If you haven't abandoned your former religion you may not understand or you may feel it's unnecessary but sincere and honest hearted individuals will learn one or two things.

May you have peace!

David said:

Look! How good and how pleasant it is For brothers to dwell together in unity! It is like fine oil poured on the head That runs down the beard, Aaron’s beard, And runs down onto the collar of his garments. It is like the dew of Herʹmon That descends on the mountains of Zion. That is where Jehovah decreed his blessing —Life everlasting. Psalms 133:1-3

Paul said:

And let us consider one another so as to incite to love and fine works, not forsaking our meeting together, as some have the custom, but encouraging one another, and all the more so as you see the day drawing near. Hebrews 10:24-25

Satan will never welcome this but note one funny thing about Satan: he always loves to attend meetings with the children of God {Job 1:6} with what mission? To complain about how God's children are doing! Job 1:9-11

So today his children are found in the gathering of God's children recording everything we do so as to report any error or flaws but since Satan has been completely ousted (kicked out) from heaven {Revelations 12:7-12} himself and his children now focus on whatever God's people are doing and since there's no chance anymore to accuse us before our God {Revelations 12:10} Satan now spread bad reports about God's people seeking gullible listeners who won't verify what they are hearing! 1Thessalonians 5:21

Can an imperfect human exhibit all the nine qualities of God's holy spirit?
The answer is NO.
Why?
Because humans have sinned and fall short of the glory of God {Romans 3:23} therefore it's impossible for any sinner to exhibit the nine qualities of the spirit of God! Galatians 5:22-23
But then God has given us undeserved kindness (grace) through Christ's ransom sacrifice so that even though we err in the process of doing God's will we are forgiven because we have surrendered to His Son as subjects. Romans 7:15-25
So how are we going to know if God is pleased with our godly devotion?

God sent His holy spirit to work with true Christians so that we can continue doing His will {John 14:26-27; 16:12-13} therefore as a group all the qualities of God's holy spirit will be noticed in our gathering as Jesus Christ himself is always the chairperson in the gathering of true Christians! Matthew 18:20

To illustrate take a look at the ant and try to see what exactly it's doing surely it will seem as if the tiny creature has no purpose but then look for where these tiny little things gather then you will see how they work together as a team which means they surely have a mission but it's isolation that makes them seem purposeless. The same applies to true believers in Christ, when we are alone our weakness takes over {Romans 7:21-23} but as long as we keep company with fellow believers we are encouraged to do the will of our God! Hebrews 10:24-25
So never allow for isolation because that is when you become depressed and start harboring evil thoughts but when you are close to true believers there is always interchange of encouragement! Romans 1:10-12🙂

Satan, Adam, Eve and Cain all rebelled against God because they seek their own selfish ambitions so when anyone is pointing accusing finger at his or her former religion or religious leaders ask such a person if he or she has found something better to show others so that they can also leave falsehood and join him or her in doing God's will along with His true worshipers!
Satan, Adam, Eve and Cain never returned and so each of them continued seeking their personal interest that is why they stayed away from God's organized worshipers!🙂

uchkochi:
May your error of today and yesterday not become the pain of your children tomorrow. Whatever you do good or bad builds up to become a covenant which not only affect you but your children children. Be careful how you live.

In ancient Israel God warned them that He will bring the punishment of fathers upon their children {Deuteronomy 5:9} the Israelites thought God will just bring the result of evil someone did upon his innocent child but they were wrong.
What God is saying should not be misconstrued, a wicked person will be punished for his own error if the child born to that wicked person proves to be righteous God will not bring any evil upon him {Ezekiel 18:18-19} but if any of the righteous man's children should forsake the fine works of their father and take to the evil deeds of their great grandfather then God will now bring back the error of that evil man upon the fourth generation of his children who imitated his evil deeds.

WHY?

Because God wants us to learn from the errors of people in the past {1Corinthans 10:11} so that through our faith in the God of justice we will avoid the same blunders they committed! Romans 15:4

So let the good person continue in his goodness but allow the evildoer to keep his evil deeds God will pay each person according to his own works! Romans 2:6

May you have peace!

SarcasticWords:
Stop lying.
And please don't quote me again. I know you wont listen, so go ahead and quote me while I keep silent because silence is the best answer to a...

Of course you will call the truth a lie and replace good with bad but remember the warning at Isaiah 5:20 if you can't find a single publication of Jehovah's Witnesses where a specific date is mentioned regarding the end of the world you know what Paul told true believers! Thessalonians 5:21

Elzazzi:
A church with millions of members can grow in the understanding of God's word too.

When the true church of Christ begins to grow people living where they operate will attest {Matthew 5:14-15} to the fine works of God's holy spirit as Love {John 13:34-35} Joy {Luke 10:17} and Peace {John 14:26-27} continue permeating the gathering of true Christians! Galatians 5:22-23

ocnovakmichael:
Bro., in the final analysis, you can use any translation of the Bible you can find. However, make sure you have fellowship with the Father and the son. Scripture says our fellowship is with the Father and the Son.

You can't have any form of fellowship separately with either of the two {John 14:10} God gave us Jesus so that we reconnect back to Him {John 3:16} and you can't become a follower of Jesus without the knowledge of God's word! John 6:44
So any version of the Bible is good as long as you fully understand the English or language!

SarcasticWords:
No. If it does not happen on 23-24 let us simply set another date. Perharps December 25. Jesus may decide to come on his birthday. Let us keep setting dates for a time or hour jesus said he does not know. Sounds like a good idea.

God's people have always been faithfully awaiting the end of this system of things never have we mention any specific date but when people see us actively preaching about God's Kingdom they will attach that period of time to our message and start telling people that Jehovah's Witnesses said the world will end at so and so year whereas it's just our zeal they misconstrued for setting up dates.
Here is a Churchian who mentioned a specific date and no Churchgoer has come to question him but why didn't he mention the name of his church?
Because by the time nothing happen at the end of September nobody will attach such false predictions to his church!🙂

Since two years ago someone is here seeking the attention of Bible believers just to hurt them by calling them names simply because politics has caused him sleepless nights.
Well that's why Jesus prayed for his own disciples not to engage in worldly politics {John 17:14-16} as peace often eludes anyone who engage in politics {John 14:26-17} and Jesus' disciples must prove to be peaceful everywhere they find themselves! Matthew 10:16

Caveatemptor:
You can see that he is now trying to soften the blows by trying to destabilise and derail the thread with irrelevant posts not related to the thread.
Just so shameless.

You haven't present one single evidence from the publications of the accused but going round and round in circles raising different accusers.
Well you have chosen your path now what you are seeking is support from the same people who filled the Internet with lies about Jehovah's Witnesses but you forgot one thing:
These accusers did what you are using as evidence today because they want to silence Jehovah's Witnesses and poison whoever wants to learn the truth from them so if you are against the Bible which all of them claims they believe they won't support you nah!😟

So forget about all the lies they cooked up and face the reality.
Jehovah's Witnesses never mentioned a single date regarding the end of the world just as John the baptist and Jesus of Nazareth both preached the kingdom of God some 2,000 years ago and Jewish community say both are false prophets because they thought these two men said the end will come in the first century the same thing happened in our time. Period!

No single proof shows that what you are presenting came from Jehovah's Witnesses rather you are still presenting what observers said about them instead of just one single publication where a specific date was mentioned regarding the accusation!😟

Caveatemptor:
Like I said I detest dishonest debates and apparently you are one.
I have given you SEVERAL LINKS ON FAILED JEHOVAH WITNESS APOCALYPSE PREDICTIONS but in a dishonest way you zone in on only the one front a Catholic website. What happened to the other links?
I am very used to having debates with religionists on these boards and I am used to their subterfuge and dishonesty.
First they try to use laughing emoji to lighten serious discourse.
Secondly they try to gaslight the discourse with deluberate obtuse arguments.
Thirdly they try to derail the discussion when they have no intelligent rebuttal to points.
Finally the abandon the discourse.
Right now you are stuck between stage 2-3.
My question to you Mr Maximus is,:~WHY WOULD I JOIN AN ORGANISATION WITH A PENCHANT TO CONSISTENTLY PREDICT THE END OF THE WORLD AND CONSISTENTLY FAIL WOEFULLY LIKE A BET NAIJA ADDICT?

Well King Herod the great died and baby Jesus was brought back to Judea where he grew up to become a young man he was a cousin of John who became the baptist so when John began shouting in the wilderness that the Christ is about to appear many Jews were going to him to show their repentance towards the laws of their God and John was teaching them the things he understood about the prophecies yet he doesn't have an accurate knowledge of God's Kingdom truth. How do we know this?
After he baptized Jesus, saw God's holy spirit landed on Jesus' head and heard God's voice John was so certain that Jesus is the Christ but shortly after John was arrested and bound with chains in a dungeon for speaking against an unlawful marriage between Herod Antipas and Herodias his brother's wife.

John expected Jesus to begin destroying all the kingdoms (evil and harsh governments) of the world and start his righteous rule as prophesied in the scriptures {Daniel 2:44} but instead Jesus was busy preaching up and down so John sent his disciples to ask Jesus if he is the Christ or the Jews should be expecting someone else! Matthew 11:3

Can you imagine what John the baptist must have told his followers about the Christ?
Surely all his followers believe that it's in their lifetime that the end of badness will come after all the long awaited Christ has come!
Please note how the first century Jewish community continue to find themselves in confusion after confusion regarding the time of the end. King Herod the great heard from astrologers, out of fear he sent soldiers to kill all babies in Bethlehem, Zachariah's wife Elizabeth got pregnant at her oldage and gave birth to a child whose birth was full of strange events, the birth of Jesus when shepherds saw many angels announced the birth of the Christ, Jesus began performing miracles in fulfilment of the things God's Kingdom will bring globally.

All these events occurred at different times so if you lived in the first century Jewish community what would you have concluded with the way Jews were jubilating in anticipation of the coming Kingdom of their God?
Surely you will start to attach each event to the times the Jewish community were jubilating claiming they prophesied the end of the world going by the days they were aroused with anxiety!🙂

Caveatemptor:
Guy,
You are not getting away with this your gaslighting which is the usual tactic of all religious organisations without exception. The fact that the Jehovah Witness cult group adopted a scorched earth policy of deleting and cancelling out all evidence of their consistent failed doomsday predictions does not mean it is not recorded in other world documents records.
The reason I told you about the scorched earth policy is because you asked me to mention any edition of Jehovah's Witnesses magazines such as Awake or Watchtower that stated this and I responded that JEHOVAH WITNESS ORGANISATION HAD DELETED ALL THESE FAILED END OF THE WORLD PREDICTIONS IN THEIR DOCUMENTATION[/b]S. I like having a healthy debate but I honestly find religious people as sneaky,dishonest and deliberately obtuse during debates.
Below are records of dates Jehovah Witness organisation predicted the end of the world and failed.

I detest dishonest debates,honestly!

Just imagine how intelligent you seems to be with the way you've presented your arguments only to believe the words of a prime enemy of the accused as evidence instead of what the accused said.
Do you know that the greatest enemy of Jehovah's Witnesses is the Catholic Church?
Well this further proves that you have no evidence regarding what you are saying against Jehovah's Witnesses!😟

There are lots and lots of misconceptions Bible readers have just like their ancient counterparts who wrote the Bible, most of them don't understand what they were inspired to pen down.
Take for instance Daniel, this Jewish man loved the tradition, culture and worship of the Jews so much that God chose him to serve as a prophet in his lifetime.
Daniel was inspired to write about what will happen when God brings an end to human suffering globally but then Daniel felt confused about what his God inspired him to write {Daniel 12:8a} said to the God who showed him all these things:

“O my lord, what will be the outcome of these things?” Daniel 12:8b

Can you imagine the response he got?

Well this is what God said to Daniel:

“Go, Daniel, because the words are to be kept secret and sealed up until the time of the end. Many will cleanse themselves and whiten themselves and will be refined. And the wicked ones will act wickedly, and none of the wicked will understand; but those having insight will understand." Daniel 12:9-10

Daniel the prophet of God who wrote a book in his name, given interpretation of a dream which Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had in his time can't understand what God inspired him to pen down about the future!

So generation to generation of God's people kept longing for the time when an end to badness will come but one thing keeps happening to them: God was unveiling the meaning gradually that each time a prophecy regarding the end time is fulfilled worshipers of the true God jump into conclusion that it's in their lifetime the end will come even though they never got an information about the specific date.

Let's start with worshipers of God in the first century as in the Jewish community!

When the time come for the Christ to begin the gathering of the subjects of God's Kingdom a prophet was sent to prepare the minds of Jewish people in the first century: John the baptist began shouting in the wilderness that the Christ is on his way! Matthew 3:1-6

Do you know what this means for the Jews?

Well consider what happened when the king of Judea had that the Christ has been born, this Jewish king (Herod the great) wanted to get rid of the child!

WHY?

Because he thought this child will dethrone him as prophecied long before then by several prophets. Psalms 110:1-3; Isaiah 9:6-7; Daniel 2:44

This led to the killing of many children in Bethlehem but baby Jesus has been taken away due to warning from God. Matthew 2:16

That's the beginning of trouble for first century Jewish community!

Bloomsvilledgit:
Good morning brothers and sisters we have 15 and 16 days to go for the rapture of the church. Repent and be prepared.

Bloomsvilledgit:
If you have any rapture dreams. Pls share them here

If you want to talk about dreams it's the things you keep in your minds that you dream about go to other religions around the world and hear what people dream about.

RightChannel:
It is now first century disciples of Christ praying in tongues, before it was present biblical backing for this praying in tongues thing? Read all the verses attached, the answer to your question is there. You will later ask where Abraham, Isaac etc are praying in tongues, is it not you!

There is nowhere in the Bible that people pray in tongues stop deceiving yourself because of your love for false religions claiming Christians!

Caveatemptor:
After the failed 1975 prediction for the end of the world Jehovah's Witnesses leaders and elders removed all traces of these predictions from their magazines publications like Awake and Watchtower and claimed that anyone with a remembrance if these failed predictions was a liar. It was a scorched earth policy.
It is the same scorched earth policy that Mr Kumuyi is applying in Deeper Life. This was a man that labelled Television and radio as devil's instruments and ordered all his members to destroy them. If you tell a Gen z member of that church that such were once church policies they will be arguing with me the same way you are arguing that Jehovah's Witnesses never predicted the end of the world several times and failed every single time.

Hmmmmmmmmm!

So in a nutshell there is no evidence.
Please try to keep a record of what you want to present before coming out to loud it. You don't know how this single attempt finished all your stories.
If you don't have any evidence that JWs predicted the end of the world with specific dates yet you are typing so much claiming it happened that has really jeopardized all your effort to ridicule the Bible.

You can't go to the court of law accusing someone of a wrongdoing only to end up claiming the accused has destroyed your only evidence and at the same time expecting everyone to welcome your accusations as facts simply because you are so passionate about it!😓

Well let's go back to what we were discussing before you brought in this diversion.

MaxInDHouse:
Are you human?
Do you think humans needs to be organized?

I thought you are here to speak facts not what people are saying around you.

So do you agree with what billions are saying around you about the Bible?

If you are for the truth please prove you are with evidence not what people say in your ears.

I'm telling you now that when i became inquisitive to figure out exactly what people say about Jehovah's Witnesses i discovered that it's all lies but i want you to prove me wrong by quoting just one publication of Jehovah's Witnesses where what you are saying could be found written.

You came quoting the Bible as evidence of what you read in it not what people in general are saying about the book so it's time to do the same thing with Jehovah's Witnesses Organization.

Please prove me wrong!😟

Caveatemptor:
My guy,
I only speak facts.
If you as a member of the Jehovahs witness claim that your religious organisation has NEVER predicted the end of the world severally like a kalokalo player. The latest prediction that was as recent as 1975 then I can not be of help to you.
Educate and enlighten yourself about the organisation to which you belong. You and I know that after the last failed prediction the Jehovah Witness organisation stopped predicting the end of the world openly but have been doing it surreptitiously.




Below are dates of failed Jehovah witness predictions for the end of the world.



1878 – Early Bible Students expected Christ to take faithful Christians to heaven.
1881 – A further adjustment, still expecting the rapture of the saints.
1910 – Anticipation that the end would occur very soon.
1914 – Most famous prediction. They taught this would mark the end of the world and the beginning of Christ’s reign. When nothing happened visibly, they reinterpreted it as the year Christ began ruling invisibly in heaven.
1918 – Taught that God would destroy churches and millions of their members.
1920 – In the book Millions Now Living Will Never Die! Judge Rutherford (the 2nd leader) proclaimed that the resurrection of the “ancient worthies” (like Abraham) would occur in 1925.
1925 – Explicit prediction that biblical patriarchs would return to life on earth and usher in the new world. Jehovah’s Witnesses even built a mansion in California (“Beth Sarim”) for them.
1941 – At a convention, Rutherford told Witness youths that they would never grow old in this system because Armageddon was imminent.
1975 – The most widely known modern date. Publications taught that 6,000 years of human history would end in 1975 and Armageddon was expected. Many Witnesses sold property and postponed life plans.

essentialone1:
They sin not against God but against the Holy Spirit. I don't think they will ever be forgiven.

They are sinning against their own body not the holy spirit! 1Corinthans 6:18
You can't sin against God's holy spirit when you don't know God's will sinning against the holy spirit means knowing God's will and criticizing or slandering those doing it that's why Jesus said:

“For this reason I say to you, every sort of sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the spirit will not be forgiven. For example, whoever speaks a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the holy spirit, it will not be forgiven him, no, not in this system of things nor in that to come." Matthew 12:21-32

If anyone hate or beat Jesus for claiming he is God's son such a person may be forgiven for ignorance but when you know what the Christ supposed to do and speak abusively of Jesus' works then you can't be forgiven because it's not Jesus that's doing the works but the holy spirit in connection with him so an Jew who speaks against the works Jesus is doing after knowing what is written in the prophecies about the Christ such a person will never be forgiven.

So a prostitute is selling her body for money as she felt the injustice and prejudice in the world that's why God favored a prostitute who later became faithful {Joshua 2:9-13} and also made sure her name is included in the lineage of Christ's ancestors.

Let's see Jesus resurrect people without remembering his great grandmother: Rahab of Jericho! Matthew 1:5
