Their history was that of sailors, and even mercenary seaman. A mixed people group lacking identity they were known as liars, thieves, and a riotous people. Titus 1:12 “one of their own prophets said of them, 'Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons

The Cretans, overwhelmingly Greek Orthodox Christians, speak dialect forms of Modern Greek and inhabit the island of Crete, which is midway between the Greek mainland and Libya. Unofficially, the country dwellers are divided into plains folk (kambites or katomerites ) and mountain dwellers (aorites or anomerites ). Meaning of CRETANS as related to the group name CHRISTIANS.. Google

Paul’s Activity There. Cretan Jews or proselytes were among those in Jerusalem on Pentecost of 33 C.E. (Ac 2:5, 11) Perhaps as a result of this, Christianity was introduced into Crete.

• Insight From The Scriptures page 548

History has it that the name CHRISTIANS came from the Greek word CRETANS used to vilify believers in ancient Crete.
This group (believed to have) resulted from the few Jewish proselytes who came to Jerusalem during Pentecost 33 c.e. and became disciples of Christ after the miraculous incident that happened that day.
Paul spoke of CRETANS that a prophet (perhaps of the gods) spoke against them as "always liars, injurious wild beasts, idle gluttons.” Titus 1:12 as they were described by their own prophet (perhaps due to their faith and simplicity)
Today how do people who don't know JWs often describe us?
Of course it's the same way because they don't know the truth from God's word they always say we are LIARS while some calls us names for not doing things the way they want {Matthew 5:11-12} and due to our industriousness in the field many believe we are jobless and since they don't see us looking sad they feel we eat too much not fasting like they do! Luke 7:31-35

Though there may be more to this but history has it that the name CHRISTIANS came through the activities of CRETANS who became disciples of Jesus in the first century! undecided

New World Translation
Acts 11:26 NWT
26 After he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year they assembled with them in the congregation and taught quite a crowd, and it was first in Antioch that the disciples were by divine providence called Christians.

Who called them "CHRISTIANS" ?

Of course the name came from unbelievers and Jesus' disciples gladly welcome the new development as a BLESSING but APOSTATES later turned it to a CURSE.

Read carefully Isaiah 65:11-15

There Jehovah analyzed what will happen in the last days as apostates (Satan's agents) will turn their backs on the arrangement made by God and start attacking that arrangement so that they will become saddened due to lack of spiritual malnutrition.
You are using the NWT an arrangement God made to help honest hearted and sincere individuals know the truth in our time but these apostates even though they knew there is no better arrangement elsewhere kept speaking against it.
So instead of supporting the arrangement and working towards God's will as His coworkers they are discouraging others from taking in the accurate knowledge that will help them in the coming great tribulations.
That's why Jehovah said He will kill them all and as for that group name CHRISTIANS that they have BASTARDIZED with their evil deeds His chosen ones will use it as a CURSE for some time but He will call them by another name! Isaiah 65:15

Today the name CHRISTIANS that was given to the first century Jewish disciples of Christ who were easygoing, zealous preachers and industrious teachers of God's word has become what trained killer politicians bear making it worthless with no pedigree, back in the first century anywhere that group name is mentioned what comes to people's minds is the young Jewish carpenter who later became a preacher and teacher of God's word helping people to become God's friends but today there are thousands of different religions with contradicting teachings and conflicting doctrines all claiming that name!

Surely that group name is no longer a blessing just as it was back then but a CURSE that's why Jehovah called His own worshipers by another name! Isaiah 65:15

What your friends wants me to say is that we are not Christians due to what Jehovah did but that's not the truth rather whoever wants to know how CHRISTIANS should conduct themselves now needs to observe Jehovah's Witnesses organization.

So it's not that we abandoned that group name but we bear another group name that'll separate us from pagans practicing lawlessness! Revelations 18:4

It is all in the bold
Isaiah 65.
Madness and insanities peddling dey your brains

Because of this i will analyze Isaiah 65 from verses 11-15 for the benefit of those who don't know what is happening today!

• But you are among those forsaking Jehovah, Those forgetting my holy mountain, Those setting a table for the god of Good Luck, And those filling up cups of mixed wine for the god of Destiny.

•So I will destine you for the sword, And all of you will bow down to be slaughtered, Because I called, but you did not answer, I spoke, but you did not listen; You kept doing what was bad in my eyes, And you chose what displeased me.”

• Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah says: “Look! My servants will eat, but you will go hungry. Look! My servants will drink, but you will go thirsty. Look! My servants will rejoice, but you will suffer shame.

• Look! My servants will shout joyfully because of the good condition of the heart, But you will cry out because of the pain of heart And you will wail because of a broken spirit.

• You will leave behind a name that my chosen ones will use as a curse, And the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will put each of you to death, But his own servants he will call by another name"

@ Verse 11
Jehovah is speaking against apostates who left God's organization and turned to worshiping Mammon like achorladey and his cohorts you can check the thread where he is arguing with StillDtruth to confirm this as he is trying to convince the guy that gambling is not sinful.

@ Verse 12
Jehovah declared His intentions towards those who left his organization and fighting against it due to pride while His loyal worshipers remains following instructions from those taking the lead.

@ verse 13 & 14
Jehovah is telling everyone how His loyal ones will enjoy plenty of spiritual banquet and joyfully bubbling always while apostates will continue to groan due to their lacking! Amos 8:11; Luke 16:24-26

@ verse 15
Jehovah declares what will happen to the group name His chosen ones will use as a curse due to the deeds of apostates who brought the curse upon that name but He will give His loyal worshipers another group name!

Now you can continue crying and wailing with insults!

Jozzy4:
So a person that knows the Mind of God should know the day and hour now, isn't it ?
So what you are telling us now is that Jesus lied that only one person know, when there are TWO PERSONS that know ?

Jesus' use of idioms has rendered all of them unwise because the Holy Spirit knowing God's mind simply means when true Christians wants to do something as a congregation but are lost in thought regarding the way forward they should trust the Holy Spirit in directing them to scriptures that will serve as light during such dark moments. Psalms 119:105

But trinitarians used that to support their Trinity yet they can't arrive at the same junction in doing things in harmony like real disciples! 1Corinthians 1:10; Ephesians 4:3

Christianity Etc › Re: Boomark Of God Vs A Certificate Winners Chapel Pastor by MaxInDHouse(m): 4:12am On Aug 28, 2024

Boomark:
Thank you my neighbour
They were just ordinary people without any certificate. The so called winners chapel certificate pastor gave me trailer load of insults in a hidden thread and I wanted to faint. I want him to come to the front page here and insult me again without answering my question. Let me be fanning myself here while I wait for him.

This is why we need nice neighbors around us now the church some of them attends is known unlike before when none want to mention their churches but keep asking questions about how other churches are run.

The title Jesus gave his followers is not to be an additional name like what most people do today they were to do those assignments as appointed within the congregation.
All followers of Christ are his disciples taught to help others outside the congregation know the importance of God's Kingdom {Matthew 10:7} what warranted the selection of Apostle is the need for those who will take the lead in ministering to others:

“The KINGS of the nations lord it over them, and those having AUTHORITY over them are called BENEFACTORS. You, though, are not to be that way. But let the one who is the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the one taking the lead as the one ministering. For which one is greater, the one dining or the one serving? Is it not the one dining? But I am among you as the one serving" Luke 22:25-27

Note the highlighted words: KINGS, AUTHORITY and BENEFACTORS. The Apostles will surely become kings to rule with Jesus in heaven {Luke 22:28-30} so they have authority to set standards based on the power bestowed upon them as shepherds in the congregation but they are not benefactors like the rulers of the world who keeps on accumulating material possessions while their subjects lives in poverty. Matthew 6:19-21

So according to Jesus those chosen will become like servants among the rest of the disciples not masters living in affluence!

See another stray comment! cheesy

Did Jehovah CURSE the name or Satan's agents brought a CURSE upon that name with their deeds?

Go and discuss with atheists and agnostics and see what atrocities politicians claiming Christians have caused during the dark ages with that group name.

Today Satan is really worried that the new group name we bear can't be BASTARDIZED like the other one that's why the likes of you are raising all sorts of allegations against God's organization today, almost everyone wants to say something evil about Jehovah's Witnesses just as Jesus foretold {Matthew 5;11-12} as for the other group name Satan's agents have succeeded in rolling it in quagmire so it's no longer worth defending even many of your so called pastors are publicly speaking against one another under the same group name.

But as for the new group name God called His own worshipers today it's either you're in or out you can't be a member speaking against it publicly you must be SILENCED claiming you're Physically In Mentally Out! wink

I am a one man squad.
When I spoke about first fruit. It was I alone against many who practiced it. I used about 5 to 6 scriptures to conquer them and they all went silent. I don't do insults like the FxMasterz, the certificate pastor who doesn't know anything. All he has is insults and gossips. He can't answer a simple question as pastor he claimed he is. It is very shameful.
I use scriptures. That was why I said I can boast and nothing will happen.

Make research and find out what those calling the disciples meant when they gave them that name! wink

See what I wrote in the picture below.

To believe and to say are not the same. Why is it so difficult to understand simple english? Or maybe part of you people's manipulation. I knew you refused to answer if you are a Christian or not, but you were busy showing your BELIEF that God has used Jehovah's witness to replace the cursed Christian name.

I went on to show you picture evidence of your BELIEFS that you are not part of the cursed and bastardised name called Christian.

Please I don't have time for all these lies. You should be telling us why you said that the name God gave is cursed. This is a great sin against God. Stop trying to divert attention away from that.

Are you a Christian?
If so go and associate with your fellow believers just as the first century Christians did in their time and mind you they all have the same line of thought regarding judgment.

As for MaxInDhouse i have made my self clear on who are my fellow believers unfortunately you're not one of them. Period! wink

Boomark:
FxMasterz who claimed he was a winner chapel pastor 23 years ago is insisting that I show him my certificate as an evangelist to prove that I am one. I told him I don't have any because Christ, his followers and all the apostles didn't need any certificate to do the work of God. The certificate he is asking for is man-made and I don't practice man-made doctrines

Now let me teach him as an evangelist and from the word of God. I will use the word of God to show him that nobody needs a certificate to be ordained or become a pastor, evangelist, prophet, etc. And I would want him as a certificate Winner chapel pastor with years of experience to show us with just ONE scripture where certificate is a requirement for anybody to become an evangelist or prophet.

‭Romans 8:30 KJV‬
[30] Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

‭Ephesians 4:11 NRSV‬
[11] The gifts he gave were that some would be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers,

Clearly, these scripturea shows that God has already ordained and justify those he called and that nobody needs a certificate to be made an evangelist of God.

Question:

1. Show me just one person in the bible that needed certificate to become an evangelist? Use scriptures to defend yourself.

Please don't use gossips from Quora or hearsay from people to dodge or answer this question. Use scriptures alone. This will surely go a long way to show that you are not empty as I have observed because you have never defended anything with scriptures.

Answer the question, don't dodge it and shame winner's pastors and their certificate. As an evangelist, I have taught you something from the scripture, so as a certificate pastor, show me the answer from the scripture. You Must Show It.

Boomark of God

Now when they saw the outspokenness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and ordinary men, they were astonished. And they began to realize that they had been with Jesus. Act 4:13
