What happened to Lazarus at his resurrection?

Take a poll on Nairaland and ask if folks would welcome a friendly neighbor on their door.
The highlighted is what you need to ask that's a better way to present the matter.
Bad reports will not make most people think straight but just say a "friendly neighbor" and leave religion out of it.

If the same should go with Atheists, Agnostics, Judaists, Hindus, Buddhists, Traditionalists, Muslims and others most people will say "NO" because of bad reports. smiley

What if I don't want to hear such 'happy moment'? Must you disturb me?
You can just tactfully say:
"i'm busy now maybe some other time"

Do you relate with people around you?
Of course you do because that's the reason why God gave you the gift of speech to enjoy talking to people around you.

One thing is certain:
You love chatting with neighbors that's why you're always here on Nairaland but it's the topic of discussion that may not interest you not that you don't want to hear about what could lead to happy moments.

So if you feel bored with the presence of some random neighbors coming to say "hello there" it's the condition of your heart at that moment not that you won't like to talk to others at all! smiley

So in a nutshell all what the Ex-jws are saying about the organization is how they want to be isolated from the global family in which their parents, guardians, uncles, aunties, nephews, nieces, brothers, sisters, sons and daughters are still bonafide members! smiley

This reminds me of my youthful friend whose name was Abdulrasheed, his parents were at the time Muslims and as a Muslim i'm also the family friend. Abdulrasheed got converted to Deeperlife and he will go about arguing with all his strength about how devilish Islam could be but what really baffles me back then was the day one of their tenants called his parents "àwọn onímọ̀ líle tí kò ní ìtumọ gidi"
Loosely translate:
"people having worthless beliefs"

I was shocked to see Rasheed fighting insisting the tenant must leave his father's house! huh

Though i couldn't ask him why he was fighting against what he himself used to say to others who are also Muslims like his parents because back then i also was a Muslim but from that day onwards i became skeptical about what his church taught him.

If he's so zealous to speak against other Muslims calling their faith "worthless" why is he now enraged when someone says the same about his own parents? undecided

My friend, the emphasis is on the name of Jesus. If you believe in Jehovah but don't believe in Jesus, you cannot be saved. Jesus was sent by God his Father and you must believe in Jesus to be saved;

John 6:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
The highlighted says it all, you must believe in the two before you can be saved!

So it is with the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised up in incorruption. It is sown in dishonor; it is raised up in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised up in power. It is sown a physical body; it is raised up a spiritual body. If there is a physical body, there is also a spiritual one. So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living person.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. However, what is spiritual is not first. What is physical is first, and afterward what is spiritual. The first man is from the earth and made of dust; the second man is from heaven. Like the one made of dust, so too are those made of dust; and like the heavenly one, so too are those who are heavenly. And just as we have borne the image of the one made of dust, we will bear also the image of the heavenly one. But I tell you this, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit God’s Kingdom, nor does corruption inherit incorruption. 1 Corinthians 15:42-50

With this it's evident that Christ was given another body (spiritual) according to verse 44 (incorruptible) according to verse 42 without which no one can go to heaven according to verse 50.

Ken4Christ:
How does that affect your walk with him. That you have this knowledge doesn't save you. Salvation is in the name of Jesus;

Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Do you call your earthly father by his name or you call him daddy or father or papa? Jesus called him father. Well, you can't because you are not his child yet. If you are, the spirit of God in you will cry Abba Father.
You're misconstruing the whole thing, there are two persons whose names are for the salvation of mankind!

@ John 17:3 Jesus said:

And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. KJV

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


This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ. NWT
But why was Peter emphasizing on only Jesus' name in those verses?

Because those listening to him were Judaists who already knew the name of Jehovah so the fact that they're already familiar with that name makes it compulsory for them to know the name of God's servants through whom we must be saved!

Of course I completely understand the parole.
When I got married, majority of JWs were shocked that my mum and dad boldly stood by me throughout, even though I say I no do again and I no wan marry JW.
And this is only because my parents have UNCONDITIONAL LOVE for me - my parents clearly said to the Elders - "no religion will EVER make us shun our own children."
Everyday, I thank God for my parents.

But for many others who decide to leave this cult, it is often a very different story - parents are quick to shun their children and would rather love the GB & organization more than their own children.
This is because as a JW, you practice a form of CONDITIONAL LOVE - the day you decide to leave the cult, is the day you become dead in their eyes.
Thank you for the this truth bomb @Achorladey
Thanks for confirming that your own parents are still MEMBERS of the so called CULT! smiley

Na wa oo the insult in this thread is too many the insult can't solve anything
That's how many people enjoy talking about their faith since they have nothing to present yet they will hide under the disguise that they are for Jesus including those who love lying against people DELIBERATELY with the excuse that the person they lied against first did it to them! cheesy

Obviously you don't have social media. Ask a random person if they love random strangers knocking on their doors and disturbing their peace
Everyone loves sharing happy moments with their neighbors most importantly when we chat about how to live peaceful and friendly as well meaning neighbors so it's evildoers around us that makes you and i to start suspecting others. For your information out of 1,000 people you come across in life its 800+ among them who knows you well that often plan evil against you it's less than 200 that are strangers who may think of hurting you and trust me that such ones always feel bad doing so because their conscience will continue to disturb them for hurting you when you never offended them but your own blood relation will do the worst without feeling remorseful.

So stop being afraid of strangers because 98% of them have a free mind with no evil whatsoever against you! smiley

Clearly, with this, you can see that atheists are devils! grin grin grin grin
Muslims are devils.
Jehovah's Witnesses are devils.
Atheists are devils.
Some of your fellow religionists who also claim Christians are devils.

So who are those that aren't devils from your perspective?

That's why you need to work on yourself first to have a proper view of people whose beliefs contradicts yours, they are not devils rather it's what they're convinced of that they are saying so it's you who needs to thread with caution just as Jesus said that Christians should be cautious as serpents (careful in the way you strike a conversation) and harmless as doves (make sure you're not hurting others with your words) Matthew 10:16
Christianity Etc › Re: Why Atheists Hate Christians! by MaxInDHouse(m): 4:34pm On Aug 21, 2024
The way most religionists approach others isn't appealing but that's for another day.

The Good News of God's kingdom Christ Jesus commanded us to preach is so sweet that no sane human will object if it's presented in the manner Jesus taught us to go about it.

So whether someone is Buddhist, Hindu or Traditionalist our manner of approach will touch their hearts but it's after the AntiChrist overshadowed and silenced true Christianity and started treating people they found in other lands cruelly that the resistance began and that's why the descendants of those religionists like Buddhists, Traditionalists and Hindus who are supposed to embrace Christianity with appreciation are now turning their backs on the Bible after a long history of cruelty perpetrated by politicians claiming Christians.
Today Islam, Atheism and Agnosticism became part of the problems end time real disciples of Christ have to contend with due to all the atrocities committed during the dark ages all in the name of CHRISTIANITY.
Those three wouldn't have come into existence if there was no AntiChrist.
So Jesus' words came to fulfilment that due to the evil that has been committed by AntiChrist in the past the love most people and religionists have for God will cool off! Matthew 24:12 undecided

So we should allow everyone to speak for him or herself regarding who they want to listen to not going about insulting, abusing, quarrelling and bullying others for having faith in God! smiley

Aemmyjah:
Well the highlighted is not true
He is pleased with any other religion or being irreligious as long as one is not on Jehovah's side. And that is what adds more headache to him
Oh Aemmyjah you're still learning, Michael got it perfectly.

Achorladey is just hiding his real identity he is against all religions but since they don't have strong messages that's disturbing his mind he is subtle with them the truth is he will never ever worship with any organized religion that's the fact.
So siding with them is just like saying his enemy's enemy automatically becomes his friend but that doesn't mean such an enemy is free with him to the extent of worshiping together o, all religions are false to him! wink

So all their noisemaking about Jehovah's Witnesses teaching regarding Jesus being Archangel Michael is futile.

But watch how he comes back to join his cohorts over this same issue again out of fear of man he wouldn't tell them he's now convinced that Jehovah's Witnesses didn't fabricate it but has been long held as truth for ages! wink
