MightySparrow:
You don start again, kwantiniu

Your disbelief and faithlessness can't stop his sheep from identifying their kind as well as the sheephouse where they are gathered! John 10:27
So when they hear the voice of their kind they will leap for joy and seek all means to join the fold! John 10:16

Knowledge that lives to everlasting life!


Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. ‭John 17:3 NIV‬

There was a temple made with hands in Jerusalem and that was the only place God approved as center of pure worship before Jesus but Jesus said he will demolish that temple and raise it in three days {John 2:19} what he meant is not that physical temple rather he was talking about another temple entirely which wasn't made with hands! John 2:21
Now inside the old temple there was a portion called Holy and another separate room within that called Most Holy or Holy of Holies {Exodus 26:33} in ancient Israel all the worshipers are God's holy people that He protects from enemy nations but within this nation of thirteen tribes God chose one (Levites) this are the only tribe privileged to step their foot into the portion of the temple called Holy no Israelite is permitted to step his foot into the Holy if he's not a Levite they are the only tribe given the privilege to officiate inside the Holy part of the temple. The other large room called the Most Holy should not be entered except once in a year by the Highpriest who is also a member of the tribe of Levi he shouldn't enter this place without offering a sacrifice for his own life otherwise the angel in the Most Holy will strike him dead. Leviticus 16:2

In the New Spiritual Temple Jesus used his blood and body as sacrifice for entry into this temple so spiritual Levites can officiate inside it that sacrifice he presented in heaven before God's throne! Hebrews 9:11-12

So likewise inside the new temple Jesus serves as the Highpriest and the lamb whose blood was used for atonement for sin however he himself doesn't need to atone for his own sin because he's without sin unlike human Highpriests.

This is what the blood of Jesus made possible for a limited number of faithful Christians to enter into that little fold of spiritual Levites (priests) who will join him in heaven (the holy) their number is 144,000 {Revelations 14:1} these are the ones Jesus called the little flock {Luke 12:32} they will be taken to heaven with him {John 14:1-3} that's where they are going to serve as Kings and Priests with the Christ! Revelations 20:6

So these are the BORN AGAIN brothers of Christ who will go to heaven with him and their number is limited but Jesus said:

“And I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; those too I must bring in, and they will listen to my voice, and they will become one flock, one shepherd." John 10:16

Who are these so called other sheep and where will Jesus get them from?

To be continued....

TruthinAction:
Organised liars that deny that Jesus rose from the dead bodily. You don't even believe in the rapture of the church. Don't, it will be to you according to your belief. Rapture will leave you behind to face the most dreadful moments on earth.

You are deluding yourself with falsehood due to emotion.
Ọmọ emotion no fit do this one o nah knowledge you need.
Whether Jesus rose bodily or not you and i weren't there all what we know now is written in the Bible but Jesus 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

If my religion said Jesus never resurrect with his physical body but spiritual body {1Corinthans 15:44} that is differences in beliefs so what should be the judge?
It's not you or me claiming the other person is wrong rather we should both concentrate on the fruitage or the works of both beliefs.
Note that you only have credulity which you called FAITH while i also have what i called FAITH which to you is credulity so to know who is right what Jesus said is we should check the FRUIT of our beliefs {Matthew 7:16-18} James (Jesus' brother) said we should ask for the WORKS of both beliefs! James 2:18-26

Your own beliefs has nothing to show when mine is noticed globally by people who are honest hearted. Matthew 5:14-16

See what people are saying about my own beliefs again:

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!

Now to blindfold you completely Satan is deceiving you with false religions having contradicting teachings and conflicting doctrines but claiming denominations of the same religion so that you will never think of what Jesus said about FRUIT of each one of them rather you are deluded by false reasoning.

Abeg which one is practicing Christianity among all those religions claiming Christians?
Be sincere with yourself and mention one as in your own gangan let's compare with the achievements of JWs if truly you want to be honest with yourself!

At least if 5,000,000 people share his post he's already a multi millionaire even with or without likes!

TruthinAction:
You are fighting hard to defend false teachings. You know that your teachings are all lies.

LIES that's achieving what God promised {Micah 4:1-3; Zephaniah 3:9} but yours is not even practical anywhere yet you are stubbornly hitting your head on bricks claiming what you don't even know whereas you are completely empty.
Ọmọ, better stop all these bad belle you have against God's organization and have a rethink.
God's people are ORGANIZED not where there's no peace among you people and you don't even know which church is practicing Christianity in the real sense! 1Corinthans 14:33

The Jews believe that when the Christ comes he will elevate them above all the tribes of the earth that's why a religious sect called "Pharisees" strongly believe it's within their group that the Christ will begin the selection so they look down on all other Jews who aren't members of their sect as classless beings.
Knowing fully well that something is not right with their group Nicodemus one of Pharisees picked few points from what John the baptist and Jesus of Nazareth said against his sect went to Jesus in the night to ask him what he must do to become one of Christ's corulers.
Jesus knew the intention of member of that political Jewish sect so he did not wait for what Nicodemus will say instead Jesus said:
“Most truly I say to you, unless anyone is born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God.” John 3:3
This is the first time Jesus mention that phrase "BORN AGAIN" and he never repeated it to anyone throughout his life and ministry.
Jesus couldn't have hidden such a thing from sincere people just to reveal it to a Pharisee who visited him alone at night if that's the only means of being a beneficiary of God's Kingdom so what did Jesus mean by the phrase BORN AGAIN?
Well Nicodemus asked Jesus and he said:
“Most truly I say to you, unless anyone is born from water and spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. What has been born from the flesh is flesh, and what has been born from the spirit is spirit. Do not be amazed because I told you: You people must be born again. The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from and where it is going. So it is with everyone who has been born from the spirit.” John 3:5-8
Surely Jesus isn't talking about what all prospective subjects of God's Kingdom must do rather he meant the selection of these fold is not open to everyone who wish to be a part of it but something that only God determines! Matthew 20:20-23
Nicodemus a member of the most respected Jewish religious sect left Jesus that night not knowing what to do so he remained a secret friend of Jesus until the day Jesus died.
So when did the door to become BORN AGAIN or spiritual sons of God was made open to humans?

lastmessenger:
your epistle is too much. If you want more wives then you are good to go

Polygamy is one of the causes of troubles in Bible times so when our King Christ Jesus said whoever wants to live in his kingdom must revert to what God set as standard in the beginning {Matthew 19:4} which is one Adam and one Eve {Genesis 2:25} only sincere, honest hearted and contented people will yield! Matthew 5:27-28 compare to Job 31:1

Can any human become a son of God in the same way like Jesus?

YES!

But how?

First of all we shouldn't forget that Jesus has been with God for as long as creation itself started {John 1:1-5} so he is not just human who came through the lineage of Adam rather he is one of God's spirit sons in heaven known as angels or morning stars {Job 38:7} but as the most faithful of all he shines so brightly than the rest that's why he is called the BRIGHT morning star! Revelations 1:5

Jesus also worked with his father during the creation of all other things made by God {Colossians 1:15; Proverbs 8:30} so unlike humans he has vast knowledge as God's coworker. John 1:2

So how can a mere human become a son of God in the same way as Jesus?

First of all we shouldn't forget that through Adam all humans became like walking corpses {Romans 3:23; 5:12} that makes it somehow impossible for any human to be equal with Jesus but as one of his disciples who accepted to make him our role model God decided to pick among us a limited number of humans that will serve as corulers with Christ in heaven. John 14:1-3; Revelations 14:1

So it's only among Jesus' disciples that any human could be chosen as one of the spiritual sons of God! John 1:11-12

So you mean Russell is the founder of the world's ever most peaceful religion where no member could be a politician or in the military services? Matthew 26:52

Are you sure Russell is the founder of the only religion that's uniting people globally making them one big and happy family of peace loving worshipers? Act 1:8

Ọmọ i repeat you don't know anything!

TruthinAction:
All the living churches on earth today believe them all. Only Jehovah Witness don't. Whether it's RCCG, Winners Chapel, Deeper Life Bible Church, Christ Embassy, Anglican, Methodist, Baptist, Roman Catholic etc. They all believe and teach all I said about Jesus.

These are just phrases they memorize to deceive you it has nothing to do with real faith. For instance all these religions you mentioned are not united as one that is why they can't worship under the same umbrella they have politicians and men serving in the military among them which makes it easier for Satan to push them against themselves in killing one another. Throughout the world only Jehovah's Witnesses are out of politics and military services which means whenever you hear of wars in any part of the world it's these so called born again and other religions that's killing people around the world in the name of WAR! Revelations 6:3-4
Only Jehovah's Witnesses knew very well what Jesus commanded his disciples and keep it in our hearts:

One of the scribes who had come up and heard them disputing, knowing that he had answered them in a fine way, asked him: “Which commandment is first of all?” Jesus answered: “The first is, ‘Hear, O Israel, Jehovah our God is one Jehovah, and you must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind and with your whole strength.’  The second is this, ‘You must love your neighbor as yourself' There is no other commandment greater than these.”.’ Mark 12:28-31

Little children, I am with you a little longer. You will look for me; and just as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I go you cannot come,’ I now say it also to you. 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 13:33-35

If your born again people failed in loving their neighbors who aren't members of their churches how come they disobey our eternal father who commanded all his children to have love among themselves as his faithful disciples and children by faith?

Ọmọ it's only Jehovah's Witnesses that's having REAL BORN AGAIN CHRISTIANS in our midst and the evidence is noticed globally as no member of the organization is into politics or military services so we are no part of Satan's world {John 17:14-16} where you people hate, fight and kill one another over racial and national differences! Revelations 6:3-4

You can read comments from your own people who have noticed the fine works of God's Holy Spirit operating among Jehovah's Witnesses:

TruthinAction:
It's more than that. You must believe that he also rose up from the dead bodily. I know you don't believe this.
You must also consciously confess him as your Lord and Saviour. Have you done this?
You must believe that he is God manifest in human flesh. Do you believe that Jesus is God in human flesh.
Partial belief is no believe.

Confused Churchian!

Can you please present a church where all members believe these nonsense?

Janosky:
How can they give to others what they don't have?

John 17:3, Jesus Christ recognized what they lack.

Hmmmmmmm highlighted in blue says it all!

Janosky:
After all, Thomas is one of Jesus brothers at John 20:17 worshipping the God Almighty that Jesus is worshipping.
Their God is NOT Jesus.
John 20:17,30-31 no let them REMOVE from their Bibles.

They stick to what their pastors told them yet they don't believe in their pastors. I still wonder why they are so ashamed to mention the name of their churches if they truly believe what they were taught.
The funny thing is each will say holy spirit taught him yet they can't agree to work together as a team!

Janosky:
Unbeliever pretending to know Christ.
You don't even believe your own Bible.
Abeg glue tight to your delusion.

The funny thing is they are ready to argue for the whole day with a JW but to go out there and make disciples that's where their oil finishes! Matthew 25:8

TruthinAction:
Born again is not for a few people. It's for all who believe the gospel. Jesus didn't say only a few needs to be born again. This is why the Bible said:
John 1:12
12 But AS MANY AS RECEIVED HIM, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Read the phrase, "as many as receive him".
You are in the dark my friend. Please, leave that dark ocultic organization and come to Christ.

So you are getting the whole thing wrong if your own meaning of born again simply means to believe in Jesus because i believe and receive him as my Master, Lord and King!

Janosky:
This guy just dey deceive himself.
Thomas a Jew exclaimed:
"My Lord and my God !
Unbelievers can NOT CHANGE Thomas Jewish identity. .

I've abandoned them with all their blind arguments to concentrate on sincere and honest hearted individuals seeking knowledge.

How can someone say Thomas who exclaimed at amazement is calling Jesus his God?

Just imagine:

"My Lord and my God"

Something we all do whenever we feel amazed.

So if a Benin person shouts "osanobua!" that means he has seen his God shey?

Make they go worship their Jesus after all sincere and honest hearted people can see how shameful they are with their Jesus (god) as they can't proudly mention the name of any church where they worship!

For example, to which one of the angels did God ever say: “You are my son; today I have become your father”? And again: “I will become his father, and he will become my son” Hebrews 1:5

According to the Psalmist God promised to introduce the Christ as His Son {Psalms 2:7} so Paul reminded the Jews who were using the names of angels in prayers though God never introduced any angel to them as His Son.
Of course Jesus is one of the angels in heaven so when God introduced him to mankind he was presented as a man in flesh and blood like one of us.
Therefore whatever we are experiencing as humans Jesus also experienced yet he remained obedient till death. Philippians 2:8
YES. From the day John baptized Jesus of Nazareth God declared him as His Son whom we must all listen to! Hebrews 5:5 compare to Matthew 3:17

Talismann:
my brother abeg rest. You never jam. leave all this tea and crumpets talk. For sure, one can use Bible on a tablet or smartphone for ease of access but those gadgets can and will never replace the physical Bible which is void of distractions and all of that. There is a reason serious men of God don't use their iPads to be doing Bible study. Those same demons you mentioned are out to polute the mind. You could be reading something Godly on your phone next second something ungodly just pops up by way of ads. Make no mistakes, Printing presses round the world still print millions of physical copies of Bibles every year and ship these out. The fact you refused to have a physical copy is your own cup of tea and such ideology cannot overrule the truth.

First of all i'm not against the use of hard copies of the Bible but claiming demons are scared of papers is really funny you can only fight against demons with God's word that's stored in your heart.

When Satan came to tempt Jesus it was the written word of God both of them were using to counter each other one of them was using it for selfish desires while the other was honest with it.

Lesson learned: honesty is what you need not the paper Joseph resisted Potiphar's wife not with papers but what he had in mind!

Power to do what exactly?

Iamzik:
Take tithe and offering out of churches and you Will quickly see that more than 95% or so called pastors are just in it for the money

This is what i've been telling them!

Stop monetizing faith in God and you will see only Jehovah's Witnesses in your streets as Christians with their preaching and teaching tools! Matthew 10:5-15
The rest just sit down conveniently in the church yelling at passersby crying Hellfire against anyone who refuses to join them in their places of worship!

Iamzik:
This is laughable! So jesus commanded you to give 100% to the church? Where?
This brainwashing is strong

YES! Jesus commanded people to give 100% to the church and who is the church?
PASTOR!

Iamzik:
Tithe in the bible was never money. Even in the text you quoted above, tithe Anis and Cumin are herbs/vegetables. Tithe is food/crop. Even Malachi 8 that is often misquoted refered tithe as food ....that there may be "meat in my house..."

How did new generation pastors turn to money and made it mandatory law?

Tithing is not a new testament commandment. Please show us where any of the apostles preached or collected tithes after Jesus rose from the dead

Na money he dey find just remove tithe from church and see all these pastors go for some other businesses but because it's the fastest growing in Africa these men hold onto it with their last breath!

Talismann:
haha good luck using an iPad to cast out a malevolent spirit

Deception everywhere!

What is a malevolent spirit?

Ọmọ demons are deceiving you people today in false religions pretending to be what they are not, the works of evil spirits today is not those dramas you watch on TV stage managed church shows rather they are making people to kill people physically and leading many into immortality with the word of God we have helped millions around the world to separate themselves from such demons so that people are now loving their neighbors like one global family! Isaiah 2:2-4

All those nollywood movies are deceiving you that's not what real demons are doing today!

TruthinAction:
Not a single member of JW is born again and you know it. You had better repent before it is too late.

You don't even know the meaning of the word "REPENT"
Ọmọ it simply means to desist from deliberately going against what you understood perfectly as good deeds perhaps due to selfish gains or negligence not what someone doesn't even have any idea about.
From our discussion so far it's obvious you know nothing about Christianity you are just mimicking what some religionists told you and you are really emotional about it.
As for BORN AGAIN they are only few of them on planet earth today and they are zealous preachers and industriously teachers of God's word in the midst of Jehovah's Witnesses outside this organization none of you including all your pastors is Christian talkless of being born again!

TruthinAction:
So, are you among the purported few?

Did you read this at all?

MaxInDHouse:
You missed big time!

We have BORN AGAIN brothers among us but they will never tell you who is not a member of our congregation because you don't even know what it means.

So stop deceiving yourself there are BORN AGAIN Christians but none is outside Jehovah's Witnesses organization all of them are in our midst even though they are relatively few!

ichuka:
There's nothing like that in the bible.
Is the church about Jehovah or Jesus Christ.?
From genesis to revelation the primary focus is Jesus Christ not Jehovah.
Even the name Jehovah is under the Canopy of Jesus Christ.
Check your bible

Who sent Jesus?

naijapikin2:
I am proudly a member of LIVING FAITH CHURCH.
Would you be so kind as to share biblical evidence to prove that Jesus came that year... I have interacted with you guys..I may not agree with all your teachings but I respect then.. I'm sincerely eager to learn. Thanks

For the reason that you boldly mention the name of your church i will oblige to your request!

First of all i want you to know that from the day John the baptist began preaching and teaching about the coming of Christ the Jews has been in a great confusion as to how this expected Christ will operate so by the time Jesus of Nazareth began preaching, teaching and performing miracles only few Jews agreed that he is the Christ 99.9% of Jews in his days until now never agree that Jesus is their long awaited Christ.

So according to history the Christ has come but his own people will not agree because what they expected is not what they saw!

Now back to 1914!

If you believe that Jesus of Nazareth is the promised Christ try to reflect on the things he said about his PRESENCE in power:

His disciples secretly approached him and asked:

“Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence and of the conclusion of the system of things?” Matthew 24:3

They want to know what will happen on planet earth by the time Jesus begin his rulership in heaven since he promised to come and take his corulers to heaven {John 14:2-4} so he began telling them the signs his disciples will see on planet earth! Matthew 24:7-14

According to those verses bad things will happen on earth when Jesus begins his rulership in heaven.

But why?

Well according to God's word Jesus will first send Satan and his angels out of heaven {Revelations 7:7-10} that's what will lead to great trouble on planet earth! Revelations 12:11-12

But some may say:
"such things has been happening in times past so what's the big deal?" 2Peter 3:3-4

Such has never happened before!
For all people on the planet to run out of their senses and start killing one another {Revelations 6:3-4} yet since 1914 we had the 1st and 2nd world war and ever since then wars has continue in one place after another till today.

Jesus said by the time he return there will be no religion practicing Christianity the way he established it in the first century {Luke 18:8} and that's exactly what happened. So by the time Jesus inspected the earth in the middle of those troubles only one group is willing to make amendments all others stick to what their human founders taught them that's why Jehovah's Witnesses have continued to make improvements in our teachings it's not coincidental that's Jesus at work!
After two decades of improvement in their teachings the true God began calling this group by another name:
JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES! Isaiah 65:15

You also will notice that despite all the troubles and ridicules from different people globally {Act 28:22} this group has continued to wax stronger in preaching zealously and industriously teaching in all our neighborhood! Act 1:8

What exactly is the purpose of their preaching and teaching?

Well God promised to unite people who are faithful throughout the earth in the last days and they will no longer raise weapons against anyone in the name of racism, politics or nationalism! Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3

This will be made possible because of the presence of the Prince of Peace who will lead them as a spirit King so that they will have love first for God and neighbors {Mark 12:29-31} and finally after they have successfully gathered peace lovers throughout the earth they will have love among themselves and the whole world will surely testify to it that Jehovah's Witnesses truly love their fellow believers! John 13:34-35

If you want to know more please request for a free home Bible study with Jehovah's Witnesses, Jesus as been around (not physically) but as a mighty spirit King gathering his sheep throughout the earth into one group! Matthew 13:30

By the time he decides to appear physically it will mean destruction for all those kicking against his peaceful movement! Luke 19:27

Of course they are baptized in the name of the father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit!

Righteousness2:
Jehovah witness pikin, Get a Bible. That is your identity as a Christian.
Read the Bible.
Meditate on it
Live by it.
Drop hour little sense and pick up God's Sense.

Mouka pikin, the word "BIBLE" is not found written anywhere in the scriptures so God's word is what i need and it's written in my heart where you nor your pastor can challenge me in it's practical application!
