Explore2xmore:Jesus was never accepted as the Messiah by the Jewish nation so they can't accept him as King or Highpriest but among faithful Jews they knew Jesus fulfilled many prophecies that has to do with the Messiah and don't forget what happened at his birth Cheldians traveled all the way from the East to come and do Obeisance to the one born King of the Jews! After Jesus had been born in Bethʹle·hem of Ju·deʹa in the days of Herod the king, look! astrologers from the East came to Jerusalem, saying: “Where is the one born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when we were in the East, and we have come to do obeisance to him.” At hearing this, King Herod was agitated, and all Jerusalem with him. Matthew 2:2-3 Astrologers saw a star that has never been seen before from the far East pointing to the birth of a great king of the Jews angels announced his birth to shepherds {Luke 2:8-14} and prophets in Jerusalem's temple confirmed that this child is the Messiah. Luke 2:25-38 So my friend i know that you are a Muslim and Islam doesn't teach you much about the Messiah that's why you are saying all these but if you are sincere with yourself you will know from all these accounts that there has never been born anyone like Jesus of Nazareth! ![]() |
GothamCities:The two highlighted settles this issue! If both Jews and Samaritans are wrong as you said then what does Jesus mean by saying "You don't know what you worship, we know what we worship Salvation is of the Jews"? Of course he was telling the woman that Jews have the true religion. Note her response to Jesus: “I know that Mes·siʹah is coming, who is called Christ. Whenever that one comes, he will declare all things to us openly.” John 4:25 Here she's indirectly telling Jesus "why won't you side your own people? After all you are one of them, but when the Messiah comes he will tell us the truth about religion" So it's about RELIGION. Jesus himself PRACTICED RELIGION inside the temple of the Jews by assembling with other Jews! |
Explore2xmore:The first mention of anointing was Aaron the Highpriest of Israel and God never asked them to choose a king it was rebellion against God's arrangement that led Israelites into demanding for a King. 1Samuel 8:1-18 Since God's purpose for the salvation of mankind is the Messiah who will serve as Highpriest and King just like Melchizedek then anyone who is going to rule over His people must be anointed to foreshadow the presence of Messiah in their midst. So no one served as King and priest at the same time because that privilege is for no one except the Christ (Messiah) |
GothamCities:"Salvation is of the Jews" Says Jesus not "Salvation is of Jerusalem" Which means the RELIGION practiced by Jews has been right all along if it's about location he would have mentioned the location that was right but he specifically mentioned "Jews" and told the woman that henceforth location won't determine true religion again unlike before when everyone who wants to worship the true God must come to Jerusalem! |
GothamCities:You don't get it do you? All Israelites know that the temple in Jerusalem was the one built by Solomon, it's in Jerusalem that Levites were serving as priests under the Highpriest and God has always sent prophets to tell Samaritans that Jerusalem is where God chose even Elijah who was one of the Samaritans kept telling his people that it's Jerusalem all Israelites supposed to worship that's the problem he had with his people because they thought he supposed to support whatever worship goes on in Samaria. So it's not about where rather it's about which religion is telling the truth. Samaritans believe that all Israelites are Jacob's descendants {John 4:12} so it's whether the Samaritans are also practicing true religion in Samaria just as Jews or the religion of Jews is the only acceptable form of worship before God. Note Jesus' response that he made it clear that regarding location it's of no meaning but when talking about the religion practiced in the two places only Jews have the true religion! John 4:20-22 ![]() |
Explore2xmore:The point is clear David was never anointed to serve as prophet so during his life time no one thought of David as prophet he was a shepherd boy who later became a king he was not serving as prophet. As for the Messiah he will serve as Highpriest and King just like Melchizedek! Psalms 110:4 ![]() |
Explore2xmore:Good point you raised there! But do you remember that David was never considered a prophet in his life time? He was inspired to sing about future events but Nathan was the prophet serving when David was king of Israel but as for the Messiah nobody will serve as Highpriest or King except him when he begins his rule! ![]() |
GothamCities:The woman wasn't asking about location where to worship rather she's asking for which religion is telling the truth. The Samaritans have their own religion just as Jews have theirs even though both were the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob but the Jews kept telling everyone that their own religion is the ultimate truth. That's what the woman was asking Jesus note that Samaritans doesn't despise worshiping in Jerusalem to them all Israelites whether Jews or Samaritans are descendants of Abraham Isaac and Jacob but the Jews will not accept it that they are on the same page with Samaritans. That's exactly what the woman wants to know! ![]() |
Explore2xmore:The Jews knew what "ANOINTED" means but in the case of the Messiah God promised the Israelites that one will have a double portion unlike all other humans who has been anointed before him. Anointing is for two offices in Israel the office of the Highpriest and that of a King so talking about anointing an Israelite could be anointed as the Highpriest in Israel or anointed as King but the promised Messiah will have double anointing because he will serve as Highpriest and King simultaneously. That is what king David himself knew before addressing this Messiah as "Lord" "The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth. The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek." Psalms 110:1-4 The highlighted in blue shows how David who himself is an anointed highly revere the promised Messiah while the highlighted in green shows that the real Messiah will serve as both Highpriest and King just like Melchizedek. Thanks for reading our book your book God's word the Bible! ![]() |
GothamCities:Hmmmmmmm, are you saying this because you were highly disappointed in what the world call "RELIGION" or you just don't want to know the truth? For your information Jesus of Nazareth believe in religion according to what transpired between him and a Samaritan woman. The woman said to Jesus: "Our forefathers worshipped on this mountain, but you people say that in Jerusalem is the place where people must worship.” John 4:20 Saying the above this woman is directly asking Jesus to tell her which religion is saying the truth between the Samaritan religion established on mountain Gerisim in Samaria or Judaism the religion of Jews established in Jerusalem's temple. Let's take what Jesus the only begotten son of God have to say about that: “Believe me, woman, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, because salvation begins with the Jews." John 4:21-22 Here Jesus is telling the Samaritan woman that true religion will no longer be a thing of one geographical location as it has been since the time God established the nation of Israel but as regards the question that woman asked Jesus it's the Jews who were worshiping in the temple in Jerusalem that's been practicing the true religion all along and as for Samaritans they were worshiping what they don't know. So Jesus believe in RELIGION! ![]() |
The OP! ![]() There are many religions and in fact religion is as old as mankind on planet earth but with all the nations in ancient times being in one religion/form of worship or another everyone is saying "God is one" Are you of the opinion that religions are like different roads leading to the same destination or there is a particular religion that God approves? What should we expect from the religion that's approved by God? I am Maximus one of Jehovah's Witnesses! |
GothamCities:Truth is bitter but no matter how bitter it is we must speak the truth to put Satan to shame. All so called Abrahamic religions are claiming faith in the same God it's takes deep thoughts to unravel the secret and to know that there is just one religion that belongs to the God of Abraham today! ![]() |
johnw47:Respond to the OP! ![]() MaxInDHouse: |

johnw47:But Paul Grundy is telling you the truth though he doesn't believe in Jesus or God! ![]() |
Preciousgirl: and to Apʹphi·a our sister, and to Ar·chipʹpus our fellow soldier, and to the congregation that is in your house. Philemon :2Maybe they will start seeing those assembling as Church (Congregation) now instead of the buildings. |
johnw47:From your preferred man of the people: Paul Grundy! ![]() |
Are you of the opinion that religions are like different roads leading to the same destination or there is a particular religion that God approves? What should we expect from the religion that's approved by God? Still waiting for your response on these! ![]() |
MaxInDHouse: |
johnw47:Paul Grundy doesn't even believe in any God as he keeps on feeding faithless people like you with lies that you want to hear! ![]() |
johnw47:Now you're talking! So you know the Jewish nation as a whole never accepted Jesus of Nazareth as a prophet but they called him a liar and impostor, surely something is wrong with your brains that's why you keep on believing people who are saying Jehovah's Witnesses organization are false prophets when you can't present a better performing group just as the Jews can't present another Messiah (Christ) after killing John the baptist and Jesus of Nazareth. Continue deluding yourself with false stories only Jehovah's Witnesses are true Christians! ![]() |
The problem with most of you is complicating issues for yourself instead of asking to know the truth about Christianity you just want to remain in the puzzle claiming you don't know the benefit of Christianity. How can you know the benefit of money when you don't even care about identitying real money? ![]() |
FRANCISTOWN:Are you serious that you are honest? Come on cut the crap my friend only Jehovah's Witnesses are Christians and we have a global family of peace loving worshipers throughout the earth where we are welcome as members of the same faith so if Nigeria and any other countries is at war today members of Jehovah's Witnesses in that country will never ever view me as an enemy because of the love we share in Christ Jesus! John 13:34-35 That's one out of the things Jesus promised his disciples which nobody can have such if you're not a (true) Christian! Mark 10:29-30 ![]() |
Kingsempires:Politicians have been using different means to brainwash their zombies into sticking out their necks for them and RELIGION just happened to be one out of different means of brainwashing. |
Odingo1:Hmmmmmmm it may seem complicated since you people don't call your politicians "prophet" but to sound minds we know Satan only used different tactics for unwise people! 2Corinthians 4:4 For your information Vladimir Putin is prophet before those Russians fighting in his support while Volodymyr Zelenskyy is prophet before Ukrainians dying for him. So if you don't see it that way then think of what Jesus will say to those claiming Christians fighting and killing their fellow believers because of their choicest politicians whom they are seeing as SAVIOR! Matthew 26:52 ![]() |
Casham:Of course it's justifiable to do what is good in the name of God {Galatians 5:22-23} but fighting and killing neighbors surely that's the work of another god! John 8:44 |
Odingo1:Are you sure Catholics changed? Please which of the churches occupy Russia and Ukraine claiming Christians? What exactly are they killing their neighbors for? Muslims are fighting as politicians among them are using them to gain power not religion just as Ukrainians and Russians are fighting for politicians among them. The truth of the matter is that Muslims are easily brainwashed to start fighting once they are called to do it for religion but their folly becomes obvious when Muslim nations starts fighting each other like Russia and Ukraine. Please to who will those fighting pray before going to kill their fellow worshipers? |
