This is what the Bible condemns:

Where each person will come up with his or her own personal opinion.

Each person will say he or she feels the connection within yet they can't work together for the good of their community.

The person behind this idea in the Bible is called "Satan" to him there shouldn't be any form of agreement on opinion each person should discover himself or herself in other words each person should be his or her own God.

The Bible says there is only one God and to Him all humans must submit no matter the level of your intelligence or understanding.

I proved to the lady that she has been possessed by a powerful spirit because there is no way two persons of the same gender could mate to reproduce.

She then ask me whether it's compulsory that we reproduce that's when i reminded her that without reproduction humans are gradually moving towards extinction.

That's when she opened up that she was introduced to the act and she is now addicted to it because she doesn't think any man can understand her like her lesbian friend.

But when i told her that if a man really loves her the man will do much more than her lesbian friend who doesn't have what it takes to satisfy a female.

I ended the discussion when i noticed she's starting to have feelings for me saying i'm the first man that really understood her and i told her that there millions of men like me out there and that she's the one locking herself up in her own box!🤔

Theawakensoul:
Because someone can hear explanations, scriptures, reasoning…
And still not experience transformation internally.
Take the example you gave about the woman.
You said she wanted intelligent answers, not just quotations.
That’s true.
But even beyond logic…
What she is really searching for is understanding that connects within her.

Better!😂

nairalanda1:
Even then, he is such a good boy.

Well if you say that but as for Christian he is not and mind you it's only a true Christian that bow at the mention of that name "JESUS"
So before quoting Jesus make sure the person believes Jesus is God's only begotten Son otherwise the name means nothing to them!😟

Because i posed a threat to people shey?
I just pity you instead of seeking help you are dancing around with atheists and you don't even care to ascertain if it's true or not.

I'm telling you outrightly that all these people accusing Jehovah's Witnesses are disguised atheists who don't care about faith in God or Christ.

I never claim i'm better than anyone all i'm saying is there is only one Christian Organization on this planet all the rest are false that's why none of you can mention the name of your church!🙂

cuteeme:
Your congregation should be wary of you.

nairalanda1:
Among the defenders of the faith here is a guy known as deep-sight. He is known for being a good defender of the christian faith, but sadly he also uses some colorful speech that makes me wonder about his faith
Here is a good example of his speech
I respond to this with the appropriate bible verse...as a fellow christian and thus his brother in christ
Matthew 5 vs 22
Also
Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.
Collosians 4 vs 6
I hope the dear boy takes note ..but then again, deepsight is such a good good boy....

Sorry to cut in!

Deepsight doesn't claim to be a Christian!😟

What exactly could make Christians have organized enemies?

Jesus said:

"Indeed, a man’s enemies will be those of his own household" Matthew 10:36

The real enemies of Christians are not people who don't know us rather they are our own relatives/people who think we have lost our sanity {Mark 3:21; John 10:20} these are the people who will instigate other families having true Christians among them to join hands in attacking the Christians! Act 13:45; 14:2; 17:5

In most lands rulers don't know what exactly true Christians have done to warrant such hatred {Luke 23:16, 22} but then our own people will now look for accusations that those in authority may found difficult to understand. Luke 23:2; Matthew 5:11-12

For instance in Nigeria around 1983 some religionists claiming Christians told the rulers that JWs hate the nation as they don't recite the national anthem and the pledge {Daniel 3:8-12} the then military regime degreed that whoever refuses to recite the national anthem or pledge should be sacked with immediate effect and any student who refuses should be expelled.

A year later another military regime took over power and ruled out that decree.

In Russia 2017 some religionists claiming Christians reported to Vladimir Putin that Jehovah's Witnesses are spies working for the American government against Russia that's why they are preaching that people should not go to war or learn about warfare! Isaiah 2:4

It's nine years now in Russians today if anyone should speak about God or Jesus with his neighbor all what the neighbor needs to do is make a recording and present it to the police as evidence that this person is preaching it attracts prison terms!

So people carrying weapons against people without the permission of the authorities aren't fighting for religious reasons but politics that's why the rulers keep saying it's not about religion!🙂

Here you go again with misinterpretation.

Surely you don't know the meaning of that word "PERFECT"🙂

If you know you will slap any translator who use the word PERFECT for anyone other than Jesus Christ.

Of what use is Jesus if there are humans who are perfect?
Why must we accept Jesus as God's only begotten Son if there are humans who have proved to be PERFECT?🙂

FxMasterz:
Are you deliberately heretical, or you're simply ignorant?

Here are the specific people whom the Bible testified to us about how they were perfect:

1. Job
Job 1:1, 8 (KJV): Describes Job as a "perfect and an upright man" [1, 2] who feared God. [4, 5, 6, 7]

2. Zechariah and Elizabeth
Luke 1:6 (KJV): They are described as righteous and walking in all the commandments of the Lord "blameless" [3]. [8, 9, 10, 11]

3. Simeon
Luke 2:25 (KJV): Described as a "just and devout" man waiting for the consolation of Israel [4]. [12, 13]

4. Noah: Described as a just man who was "perfect in his generations" (Genesis 6:9).

I have given them the glory that you have given me, in order that they may be one just as we are one. John 17:22
Is there any difference between the opinion of Jesus and his father?🤔

Now I urge you, brothers, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you should all speak in agreement and that there should be no divisions among you, but that you may be completely united in the same mind and in the same line of thought. 1Corinthans 1:10
Should there be such confusion among true Christians?

MightySparrow:
You should know that pentecostals differ in minor issues like tithing, and other monetaries issues. Damina is an emergent critic like Tunde Bakare. Such is expected. In your organization such are labelled dissidents. In PFN they are there to give varieties in the body.
They are welcome.

Between Adeboye and Abel Damina who is not a Pentecostal because we all know that this two are not in agreement as one said he drank tea with his God and the other said that is a lie.
One said failure to pay tithe will debar worshipers from going to heaven while the other said it's a lie!🤔

MightySparrow:
O have already told you I am a Pentecostal, I worship at any Pentecostal I see around depending on my location. So far they are pentecostal churches that believe in what I believe. I don't see any contradictions in pentecostal churches. That is why we have a body PFN in Nigeria and a global body.
If you see any contradictions, it is because you are just a watcher from outside.
1 Corinthians 12:27
Now ye (I am) are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
Emphasis mine

Gradually the group that was supposed to have been the world's most peaceful group {Act 1:8} as taught by the world's most wonderful counselor and the Prince of Peace {Isaiah 9:6} is now known to be the killer group going from town to town and city of city forcing their beliefs on people both far and near claiming they are crusaders for Jesus the peaceful teacher! 😟

Some six centuries later a man was born in Saudi Arabia whose ambition was to become great but since he came from a humble background he couldn't achieve his goal so he decided to use religion as a ticket to become great.
In Mecca where he was born each family house has their deity which makes it difficult for anyone to use religion as a means of gaining affluence so Muhammad picked the idea of only one God from the Jews but since Jews only believe in prophets that hail from their own brothers (Jacob's twelve tribes) {Deuteronomy 18:18}} Muhammad took side with Roman Catholics who says Jesus handed over God's Kingdom promises to another nation after they have dealt ruthlessly with the Jews! Matthew 21:43
Now in-between the two religions Muhammad decided to establish his own he disagreed with the Catholics as they say Jesus is part of the Trinity which means if Muhammad accepts what the Catholics said he must become a worshiper of Jesus, he also disagree with the Jews who believes that whoever wants to worship their God must practice Judaism.
So he chose a life course of self acclaimed spiritualist/prophet opposing his own people over the worship of multiple gods.
To establish himself he needs to start from somewhere but since both Judaists and Roman Catholics won't give him what he desired he preferred to stay on his own.
The Roman Catholic was established by a Roman emperor who wanted to rule the whole world on the other hand Jews expecting a Messiah also believe it's their turn to rule over the world that made both religions violent therefore Muhammad who also wanted to establish himself as the last prophet from the same God had to go violent.

But what if it was the real Christians as Jesus commanded them that existed in the time Muhammad walked the earth can he prove he is God's prophet using violence?

Of course not!
So it's the same thing these three religions are pursuing till today but the real Christians don't believe in dominating the world through violence rather they believe Jesus who said his Kingdom (Government) is not from this source! John 18:36

Today politicians using religion as cover are surely fighting their opposers that is what is happening in the world around us it will be shocking to many if i tell you that the true Christians are in the world's most racist Islamic nations yet nobody is attacking them because of religion!

How is that possible?
1. Remember they don't shout in their neighborhood {Matthew 12:19} so that means radical Islamic clerics who feels important due to their position in the society can't see them as a threat.

2. They don't meddle in politics so those fighting and killing their neighbors due to public offices won't see them as a threat to their political ambitions.

3. They don't participate in choosing a ruler in any society so when opposing parties are planning evil against their rivals they won't even think of Christians who are neutral.

4. When politicians are looking for thugs to use during elections or political struggles true Christians who are easygoing and harmless as dove won't show up? Matthew 10:16

So what exactly could make Christians have organized enemies?

Let's go back to the first century and see why the Jews hated Jesus and his disciples with passion!

To be Continued...

Let's answer these three questions!
What about the politics or rulership of their society?
Should disciples of Christ contest for public offices?
Should they participate in selecting the rulers in the society?

Regarding the politics going on around the world something happened to Jesus that exposed the person behind human government today. Satan offered Jesus all the kingdoms of the world and said:
“I will give you all this authority and their glory, because it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. If you, therefore, do an act of worship before me, it will all be yours.” Luke 4:6-7
So going by what transpired between Satan and Jesus it's the devil that's ruling the world {2Corinthians 4:4; 1John 5:19} Satan places human agents in different geographic locations on this planet as his corulers that is why Christians in the first century never participate in politics just as their leader also did! John 5:16

What about participating in choosing a ruler in their society?
Imagine some Christians prefer one ruler to another is it possible for all Christians to agree on one particular candidate?
OK let's imagine they agreed will they still love their unbelieving neighbors just as Jesus commanded them if their neighbors prefer the other candidate?

So let's solve the puzzle!

If Christians should agree on one candidate (which is not possible) then their will be hatred either for or from people who are of the other candidate this is what Jesus strictly warned them against {Mark 12:31} and if each Christian should go for the candidate of his choice will there be love among them as Jesus commanded? John 13:34-35

Of course Satan knew very well that if the Christians are left alone to continue preaching and teaching only about God's Kingdom (government) most people throughout the world will get the sense of dedicating themselves to God's Kingdom and its predestined King Christ Jesus so to cause confusion and distraction for Christians Satan introduced some Christians to politics just as he did to the founder of Christianity but unlike Jesus who is filled with God's holy spirit some Christians fell for the bait and began to meddle with worldly politics, the apostles who walked with Jesus during his ministry were opposed to this move so members of the first century Christians community who wants to participate in politics started speaking abusively of the apostles and elders in their congregations! 3John:9

For your information that is the beginning of what the apostles called the AntiChrist {1John 2:18} Jesus who is the founder of Christianity was fully opposed to worldly politics because worldly politics has some things that no one who engages in it could avoid completely they are:

Sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry, witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions, envy; drunkenness, orgies. Galatians 5:19-21 NIV‬

Whereas the qualities a Christian should be targeting to out on as the new person we supposed to be in Christ are:
LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS and SELF-CONTROL. ‭Galatians 5:22-23 NIV‬

So Satan subtly introduced politics into the Christian congregations after killing all the apostles gradually most people fell for it {Matthew 13:25} so after they got political affluence they squashed the faith of the minority Christians who keeps opposing political association in the congregations and finally true Christianity disappeared leaving only the words of inspired writers we know today as BIBLE!

To be continued...

Which church exactly because it's clear that there are thousands of different religions claiming Pentecostals today as they are contradicting themselves!🙂

MightySparrow:
Q
My group.
Phil.3.3 - For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

MightySparrow:
Phil.3.3 - For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
You can see Pentecostals worship God in spirit, and rejoice with high praise,and do not boast of our deeds but humble ourselves before God and men.

It's common News today that Islamists are killing Christians in many lands but is religion the real reason for such attacks?

Before we answer this question let's see how Jesus taught his followers to go about their religious activities then we'll figure out if any sane human could think of forming a terrorist group against Jesus' disciples.

Jesus taught his disciples to always lay low everywhere they go {Matthew 10:16} so no one can easily notice them as their kingdom (government) is no part of this world. John 17:14-16
Jesus taught them to pay a friendly visit to neighbors and introduce themselves as friends in the neighborhood who believe in God's promises regarding the future of mankind! Matthew 10:7

This means they are not to shout in the streets so as not disturb the peace of their neighbors neither to call attention to themselves {Matthew 12:19} but going to talk to individuals presenting their message in a way not to offend anyone. Matthew 10:16

What about the politics or rulership of their society?
Should disciples of Christ contest for public offices?
Should they participate in selecting the rulers in the society?

Gabrielshow26:
You have no point, you are the one being insincere, even a guest on nairaland certainly knows that such oath taking has been lifted off for about a year now, possibly more.

If you know that they don't appreciate none Muslims speaking about their faith why going to them?🤔

KobolanderSegun:
You cannot even find the strength to create a Thread. That's a clear sign you don't have anything to really say.

Hmmmmmmm.
WISDOM!🤔

Gabrielshow26:
I can quote others as well, perhaps it's insincerity that caused theirs as well🥱. Kobojunkie was given 57 years off the Islamic section. You can find others making comments about how Islamic mods are actively in the business of 'excommunicating' people just for critiquing Islam.
Pls, tell us another lie.

But who sent you to Islamic section in the first place?
If you claim Christian what exactly are you doing arguing aimlessly about another religion?
I remember you have to swear that you are a practicing Muslim before allowed to comment there.
Of course that's gross insincerity o!🤔

Most people don't know a lot about the Jews and Judaism they are still thinking God has anything for the Jews after the nation killed Jesus.

First of all God's covenant wasn't with the Jews but the Israelites (twelve Sons of Jacob) it was idolatry and wickedness of the northern ten tribes that removed them from God's covenant and they began to be called Samaritans till they were thrown away from their land. Jews are the remaining two tribes with Levites and since the promised Son of God who will rule over God's Kingdom is to be born among the tribe of Judah (Jacobs fourth son) God kept His covenant with only this tribe along with the tribe that produced the first Israelite King (Benjamin)

God continued to make promises for just these two tribes called Jews though they also became idolatrous but because of the coming Christ God kept putting up with their stubbornness until the Christ was born then the Jews thought God cannot go back on all His promises to their nation forgetting that the promises was originally for all the twelve tribes of Israel the Jews did worse than the Samaritans.
How?
When the Samaritans first heard through a promiscuous woman about the Christ since they knew very well that Jacob their great grandfather {John 4:12} said it's Judah that will bear this promised child {Genesis 49:10} they welcomed Jesus who is a Jews despite the fact that Jews often despise Samaritans {John 4:9} they invited him to stay with them without any miracles unlike the Jews among whom Jesus did so much might works but rejected him. Matthew 27:17-26

So who told them that the same God who discontinued His covenant with Jacob's ten tribes sons can't do the same for the two tribes?😟

Well God spoke through His only begotten Son (Jesus Christ) saying:

"This is why I say to you (Jews), the Kingdom of God will be taken from you and be given to a nation producing its fruits." Matthew 21:43

His Jewish disciples were disappointed because they thought God will never abandon the Jews because of Jerusalem and God's temple in the city but Jesus said:

“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the killer of the prophets and stoner of those sent to her—how often I wanted to gather your children together the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings! But you did not want it. Look! Your house is abandoned to you." Matthew 23:37-38

So do not feel disturbed at whatever any Jew or Judaist say the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob (Israel) has condemned the Jews based on what He told their forefathers before the covenant He made them saying:

"I will raise up for them from the midst of their brothers a prophet like you, and I will put my words in his mouth, and he will speak to them all that I command him. Indeed, I will require an account from the man who will not listen to my words that he will speak in my name" Deuteronomy 18:18-19

Jesus spoke to them but they hated him with passion and plotted his death so from that day the blood of all the righteous men slaughtered on the surface of this planet from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah coupled with the blood of Jesus has been mounted on their heads! Luke 11:51

God bless you and may you have peace!

cuteeme:
What a shame. He sees i don't take him seriously cos he's not worth it. He's only in for the argument and not logical reasoning. Just a hypocr.ite.

You don't take him seriously but when it comes to commenting on Nairaland nah only me you dey think, last comment on Nairaland was on the 8th of April it's about me and ever since then you've been silenced for weeks only to come back and it's my matter you still carry for head!😟

Ọmọ i just dey pity people like you who have chosen to stay in the gathering of atheists just to spite God's people.

All these people commenting with you are disguised atheists {Psalms 1:1} if you don't believe check the one who started this thread:

MaobiCarl:
The genesis account entirely proved and made sure of it was a mere snake.
Please defend that it wasn't a snake with genesis account or the old testament (torah). Ballam donkey talked, the pre Christian Jews believed in a many fairly tales where animals talked and a talking snake is one of them

Simply because i stood my ground that i'm one of the students of the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses you want to kill yourself on my matter!🤔

Michael547:
Now that you've identified Jws to be a sect. Can you point out a religious group that is actually the true one?

A billion dollar question!😂

DeepSight:

All this is grammar. The implication is that Christianity only started in the late 1800s.

Are you a Christian?
Do you believe in Christianity?

Please this matter is about Christianity and those claiming Christians so if you are an atheist there is no way you can make any meaningful contribution to this topic!

See your comment on this same thread:

DeepSight:
Most of them especially Oyedepo worship money and power.

So if you are a Christian please mention your church but if you are an atheist i'm sorry you can only follow there's no need arguing aimlessly!🤔

I'm Maximus one of Jehovah's Witnesses so if anyone wants to engage me on the topic let the person first mention the name of his church at least we can all see that the group name CHRISTIANS has been rubbished now that leaders of different religions claiming CHRISTIANS are contradicting and criticizing themselves.

So let me know the name of your church and we'll proceed from there.

God bless you and may you have peace!🙂

DeepSight:

The implication is that there was no Christian organization in the world before Russel was born!
That's what MaxinDHouse is telling us.

Why not ASK as Jesus said? Matthew 7:7🤔

Well Jesus true Christianity disappeared after the death of Christ's apostles so the fruit they were bearing in the first century stopped because the branches connected to the vine has all been killed {John 15:5} from that time the AntiChrist took over the scene! 1John 2:18

When Russell and his team began studying the Bible in the 1870s they realized that something is wrong somewhere but they couldn't figure it out on their own.
Today true Christianity has been restored as it was in the first century that is why Christendom Churches are now criticizing themselves.

What you should have asked if you are sincere to yourself is:

Which of them is practicing Christianity as it should be?

But it's obvious you are dishonest yet just as Jesus said:

"Wisdom is justified by her children" Luke 7:35

This is what you yourself typed with your own fingers regarding the only religion practicing Christianity as found in the Bible:

DeepSight:
I am not sure the respect JWs have is on account of what you say. It is more on account of their general simplicity, general adherence to bible truth, and the fact that no one can accuse them of being commercialised or money or power focused like most other denominations are. Alot of people see a purity in them which is lacking in many other places. I should know, for as I told you, in my youth, I used to be one.

So if you hate Maximus in person there is no sin in that after all Maximus is just a sinner like all other humans but if you choose to speak against the truth that you yourself have publicly admitted i'm sorry for you! Matthew 12:31-32

They are all deceivers including Ọmọlẹyìn himself!

The problem with most people is they don't carefully consider the words Jesus uttered.

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

Now let's consider the two symbolic terms Jesus used in his illustration.
1. Tree
2. Fruit

We all know trees produces fruits so what is represented by the term TREE and which is the FRUIT?

Most Bible readers don't know that Christianity is expected to produce a certain fruit just like a tree so who is that tree?
According to Jesus he himself is that tree that the true God (his father) planted {John 15:1} so in other words all the religions on this planet are like trees planted and their founders are like the trees just as Jesus CHRIST is the founder TREE that produced CHRISTIANS.
But then what type of FRUIT does the Bible say CHRISTIANITY will be?

Before Jesus there were thousands of different religions all claiming they belong to God so Isaiah the prophet said some 700 years before Jesus:


In the last days the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established as the highest of the mountains; it will be exalted above the hills, and all nations will stream to it. ‭Isaiah 2:2 NIV‬

Mountains symbolizes place of worship so the Lord's temple is Jesus Christ {John 2:21} so Isaiah is saying that in the last days Christianity will be known globally and people from all nations will flock into Christianity.

But then what will they use to as standard among themselves?

Isaiah goes on to say:


Many peoples will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths.” The law will go out from Zion, the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. ‭Isaiah 2:3 NIV‬


So it's the words of the Bible God as found written in the books kept in an ancient city called Jerusalem that they will be using as the standard.

And what will be the RESULT (FRUIT) of this Newly Raised Temple?

Isaiah still goes on to say:


He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. ‭Isaiah 2:4 NIV‬

So this means all the people coming out from different nations throughout the world will learn how to make peace reign among themselves as they divert their resources into the production of food and information materials, stop producing buying selling and using of weapons and vow never to raise weapons against anyone again!

Most people don't ask themselves:

Why is it that Christians in the Bible were being attacked by Judaists all the time but the Christians never revenged nor look for means to fight back?

That is because they have trained their conscience never to raise weapons against anyone again be it friend or foe just as Jesus CHRIST taught them! Matthew 5:43-48

So which religion today is fulfilling this prophecy?
Note that any religion fulfilling this prophecy is undoubtedly the one producing the FRUIT expected of true Christianity!🙂

AntiChristian:
Yes i do.
When Luke said talked about investigation and eyewitnesses I understand he was writing as an historian. No Holy Spirit involved.

That is not how a good student should reason!
Imagine you visited an institution where many students are working on a project and you see them doing the work like a team then four students told you they have a secret medicine they are using in the work, will you start asking each and every student whether what the four told you is true?🙂

AntiChristian:
I asked if Paul's experience which is mainly as an antichrist count as God-breathed too?

You don't know the meaning of that word "ANTICHRIST" but since you have applied it to Paul i will enlighten you.

I believe you know what a clock is so when something is moving in the same direction as the clock ⏰ people will say it's going in a clockwise 🔁 direction but if it's going to the other direction they will say it's anticlockwise 🔄.

Paul never understood the teachings of Christ so there is no way he could be an ANTICHRIST because an AntiChrist is a former Christian who knew what Jesus taught but choose to go against it such a person will never ever listen to whatever any Christian says rather he or she will continue to claim Christians but doing his or her own thing the way that's against what Christ laid down!

That's why i often laugh when you call yourself AntiChristian because you are not AntiChristian rather Antichurch you can only pick up reasonable criticism against the churches of Christendom but against true Christianity i'm 100% sure that you don't have anything to say against it! Galatians 5:23b 🙂

AntiChristian:
But Luke says otherwise in those verses quoted above! I don't know how your eyes keep missing it. Anyways what about Paul's claim (I, not the Lord) in the OP?

You expect Luke to tell you specifically that something is helping him shey?

Paul is an elder and he was sent by Jesus to teach the people of the nations {Act 9:15} so when talking he is using his vast experience sometimes to teach since he knew very well the principle regarding God's commandments.

Janosky:
What Does the Bible Really Teach?

Judgment Day​—What Is It?

HOW do you picture Judgment Day? Many think that one by one, billions of souls will be brought before the throne of God. There, judgment will be passed on each individual. Some will be rewarded with heavenly bliss, and others will be condemned to eternal torment. However, the Bible paints quite a different picture of this period of time. God’s Word portrays it, not as a terrifying time, but as a time of hope and restoration.

At Revelation 20:11, 12, we read the apostle John’s description of Judgment Day: “I saw a great white throne and the One seated on it. From before him the earth and the heaven fled away, and no place was found for them. And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and scrolls were opened. But another scroll was opened; it is the scroll of life. The dead were judged out of those things written in the scrolls according to their deeds.” Who is the Judge described here?

Jehovah God is the ultimate Judge of mankind. However, he delegates the actual work of judging. According to Acts 17:31, the apostle Paul said that God “has set a day on which he purposes to judge the inhabited earth in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed.” This appointed Judge is the resurrected Jesus Christ. (John 5:22) When, though, does Judgment Day begin? How long does it last?


The book of Revelation shows that Judgment Day begins after the war of Armageddon, when Satan’s system on earth will be destroyed. * (Revelation 16:14, 16; 19:19–20:3) After Armageddon, Satan and his demons will be imprisoned in an abyss for a thousand years. During that time, the 144,000 heavenly joint heirs will be judges and will rule “as kings with the Christ for 1,000 years.” (Revelation 14:1-3; 20:1-4; Romans 8:17) Judgment Day is not some hurried event lasting a mere 24 hours. It lasts a thousand years.

During that thousand-year period, Jesus Christ will “judge the living and the dead.” (2 Timothy 4:1) “The living” will be the “great crowd” that survives Armageddon. (Revelation 7:9-17) The apostle John also saw “the dead . . . standing before the throne” of judgment. As Jesus promised, “those in the memorial tombs will hear [Christ’s] voice and come out” by means of a resurrection. (John 5:28, 29; Acts 24:15) But on what basis will all be judged?


According to the apostle John’s vision, “scrolls were opened,” and “the dead were judged out of those things written in the scrolls according to their deeds.” (Revelation 20:12) Are these scrolls the record of people’s past deeds? No, the judgment will not focus on what people did before they died. How do we know that? The Bible says: “The one who has died has been acquitted from his sin.” (Romans 6:7) Those resurrected thus come to life with a clean slate, so to speak. The scrolls must therefore represent God’s further requirements. To live forever, both Armageddon survivors and resurrected ones will have to obey God’s commandments, including whatever new requirements Jehovah might reveal during the thousand years. Thus, individuals will be judged on the basis of what they do during Judgment Day.

Judgment Day will give billions of people their first opportunity to learn about God’s will and to conform to it. This means that a large-scale educational work will take place. Indeed, ‘the inhabitants of the land will learn about righteousness.’ (Isaiah 26:9) However, not all will be willing to conform to God’s will. Isaiah 26:10 says: “Even if the wicked is shown favor, he will not learn righteousness. Even in the land of uprightness he will act wickedly, and he will not see the majesty of Jehovah.” These wicked ones will be put to death permanently during Judgment Day.​—Isaiah 65:20.

By the end of Judgment Day, surviving humans will have “come to life” fully as perfect humans. (Revelation 20:5) Judgment Day will thus see the restoration of mankind to its original perfect state. (1 Corinthians 15:24-28) Then a final test will take place. Satan will be released from his imprisonment and allowed to try to mislead mankind one last time. (Revelation 20:3, 7-10) Those who resist him will enjoy the complete fulfillment of the Bible’s promise: “The righteous will possess the earth, and they will live forever on it.” (Psalm 37:29) Yes, Judgment Day will be a blessing to all faithful mankind!

“The End”​—What Does it Mean?
Did you know that what the Bible says about “the end” is actually good news?

Excellent!🙂

FxMasterz:
There are examples of known perfect humans in the Bible. The Scriptures encourage us to move towards perfection.

There is no single perfect human:

The Lord looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. All have turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.
‭Psalms 14:2-3 NIV‬
So that is why Christ must rule (teach) mankind for 1000 years {Revelation 20:1-3} after that humans will become perfect not now!🙂

FxMasterz:
Galatians 5:22: "Now, the fruits of the spirit are manifest
Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering (Patience), Gentleness, Goodness, Faith (Faithfulness), Meekness, Temperance (Self-control).

No single human manifested all these qualities except Jesus that is why God said we should learn from him {Matthew 17:5} whatever virtue there is in any human you'll see in Individuals across all religions that's why everyone must be a Christian to become perfect like Jesus otherwise God will destroy them for disobedience. John 3:16

FxMasterz:
Incorrect!
Here, Jesus was not talking about the fruits of the Spirit but soul winning - evangelism. Every branch must bear fruits, and every fruit must someday become a branch bearing fruits. The disciples won souls. We too as individuals must win souls. God expects all believers to be soul winners. The souls you hear are the fruits Jesus was talking about here. Jesus was talking to the 12 disciples here. Paul was not among them. But Paul also bore fruits, didn't he? We too must bear fruits as Paul did. Jesus spoke to all of us, not just the 12 apostles. Paul was the one who first preached the Gospel in Achaia, and he said:
"I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,)" 1 Corinthians 15:16.

What fruit has any individual claiming Christian produced or exhibited that you won't find in individuals across other religions!🙂

Timely message.
God bless you!

True Christians were commanded by the founder to go and meet people in their homes {Matthew 10:11-13} false religions only shout in the streets and public buses where nobody will be able to ask them questions in private.

I'm Maximus one of Jehovah's Witnesses if you know the type of questions some people do ask us when there is no one listening you will be shocked.😟

I remember a middle aged woman tall beautiful and really attractive asked me why God is against lesbianism when she is not hurting anyone and herself with the other female are happy doing what pleases them.

Do you think quoting the Bible will makes any sense to her?
Of course she wants intelligent answer and reasoning not based on what any book says.

That is what it means to preach from house to house and door to door not the usual stuff of heaven is real hell is real.🙂

Theawakensoul:
Why do certain questions make you uncomfortable?

RhemaJet7:
It is very interesting, seeing many Nairalanders, washing their dirty linen in public, arguing blindly that THERE IS NOTHING CALLED HUMAN SPIRITUAL FATHER.

If someone ask you to mention the name of your church you will say you are a Christian and that's all.
Ọmọ they are all Christians like you too after all none of you wants to mention the name of his or her church!😀

FxMasterz:
Beating the fruits of the Spirit does not mean that human frailty wouldn't interfere from time to time as we continue to grow in the faith. We're working towards perfection but not subdued by the Adamic nature. It takes times for our minds to be fully renewed and to be totally confirmed to the Word.

Did the same thing happened to Jesus?

NO! Because he is a perfect human unlike we imperfect humans that is why there is no imperfect human who can bear the fruit of God's holy spirit completely as an individual.

FxMasterz:
There's nothing like fruit of Christianity, dude.

So what do you call the fruit that only Jesus' disciples can produce?🙂

FxMasterz:
The bolded part of the verse you quoted shows The was talking about individuals, that's why He said EVERY ONE. Except you're expecting Jesus to be talking about several organizations as fruits. And if you claim that your organization is the only true organization, your argument falls flat with Jesus saying "Everyone" in regards to every organization. Does Jesus expect every organization, groups, denominations to bear fruits? No. Jesus does not know groups, organizations or denominations. He has only one Body which comprises of all believers. Hence, the fruit bearers are each individual believers. Jesus is the tree. We, individual believers are His branches.

The everyone here refers to the branch which means Jesus' apostles but fruit is the product of their gathering as a group!🙂

DeepSight:
How humble. Our organization is the only Christian organization on Earth. Indeed. We don hia.

Jesus commanded Jehovah's Witnesses:
“Keep your eyes open and watch out for the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees." Matthew 16:6

Then they grasped that he said to watch out, not for the leaven of bread, but for the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees. Matthew 16:12

Jesus doesn't hide the truth:

“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6

So his real disciples won't welcome any strange teachings among them! 🙂
