Aemmyjah:
I asked a direct Yes or No question
Do you worship God sheepishly?

That question will expose him as a rebellious human, David said:
"JEHOVAH is my shepherd" Psalms 23:1
Jesus called his disciples "sheep" John 10:11

If he knows the use of ILLUSTRATION what is the attitude of SHEEP?

Are they not the domestic animals we know that often follow their master with one accord?

Is it not GOATS that has the trait of rebellion as each walks due to it's own initiative?

So if he say "NO" that would mean he is not one of Jesus' sheep and if he say "YES" that means he is stupid for accusing those having the quality he supposed to have.

Aemmyjah:

At times i just laugh at their presumptuousness imagine a misinformed churchgoer wanting to use illustrations!

He called someone a TODDLER which literally means myopic and childish, when i asked him how he came to that conclusion he said it's due to the attitude of one he labelled but at the same time he added another label WOLF which means predator in literal sense and both labels is due to the attitude of the same person!

Please what correlation is between a MYOPIC one and a PREDATOR?

NairaLTQ:
But you believe the the gifts have ceased operating so it can't apply to you

I never told you the office ceased rather it's the supernatural gifts that's only given to the descendants of Jacob and for their benefit alone! Matthew 15:21-28

NairaLTQ:
No sir.
God called Himself YHWH and not Jehovah in the book of Exodus!

Another enlightenment you need there!
The word GOD wasn't written like that in the original Hebrew manuscript.
Jesus wasn't written like that in the original Hebrew manuscript.
So why do you single out Jehovah when all other names has been transliterated?

NairaLTQ:
Sometimes a wolf puts on sheep skins. He is uncovered

TODDLER!

WOLF!

Please what correlation is between the two?

Negroid001:
Read the bible?
You didn't read my post well.
What church do you attend?

Good morning!

The highlighted caught my attention after reading the OP.
I am Maximus one of Jehovah's Witnesses.
I believe in LOGICAL REASONING but then can you and i reason together as mature individuals without insulting one another?

Righthussle:
Christianity will be a thing of the past.

This has been said some two thousand years ago by a religionist, please read:

A Pharisee named Ga·maʹli·el rose in the Sanʹhe·drin; he was a Law teacher esteemed by all the people, and he gave the command to put the men outside for a little while. Then he said to them: “Men of Israel, be careful as to what you intend to do about these men. For instance, before these days Theuʹdas rose up, saying he himself was somebody, and a number of men, about 400, joined his party. But he was done away with, and all those who were following him were dispersed and came to nothing. After him, Judas the Gal·i·leʹan rose up in the days of the registration, and he drew followers after himself. That man also perished, and all those who were following him were scattered. So under the present circumstances, I say to you, do not meddle with these men, but let them alone. For if this scheme or this work is from men, it will be overthrown; but if it is from God, you will not be able to overthrow them. Otherwise, you may even be found fighters against God himself.” Act 5:34-39

The above statement was uttered some 2,000 years ago when all the Christians in the whole world were less than 8,000 in number and just within the Mediterranean area, the man who said it his own religion has gone into extinct as members of his sect all perished during the time Roman armies destroyed Jerusalem in the first century. Today that religion with less than 8,000 members back then has grown up to about 9,000,000 today and they are still doing exactly what the founder commanded them saying:

“All authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth. Go, therefore, and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things" Matthew 28:18-20

You would have noticed some people coming to pay you an uninvited visits, they were sent to do this by their master 2,000 years ago {Matthew 10:11-13} back then they were known as the "people of the WAY" {Act 9:2} because their leader claimed he is the WAY {John 14:6} and it has been written in the scriptures that there will be a way of holiness {Isaiah 35:8} members of this group were later called "Christians" by the inhabitants of an ancient city known as Antioch! Act 11:26

But today the true God has given them a new group name that's known and recognized globally due to their activities in all the lands they go {Isaiah 65:15; Act 1:8} that name today is JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES!

According to God's word this group will never ever cease to continue working with their spiritual head until the conclusion of this system of things! Matthew 28:20

May you have PEACE!

There is a reason why the Beroeans went back to do a diligent study on what they heard from the disciples of Christ in the scriptures, all God's servants must have the same line of thought regarding sacred service this will help them to worship in spirit and truth {John 4:24} as if they're just one big family! John 17:22 compare to Zephaniah 3:9
So when the disciples of Christ preached to the Beroeans they need to figure out whether Christianity (movement of Jesus' disciples) is the religion that's of the new covenant God promised according to the scriptures! Jeremiah 31:31-33 compare to Deuteronomy 18:18
This is important because whoever missed the message of the prophet God is sending in the manner of Moses will lose out completely! Deuteronomy 18:19
Jesus Christ confirmed this when he prayed to his father to unite all the servants of God throughout history in the same line of thought {John 17:20-23} even though some have slept in death thousands of years back once they're resurrected it will be easy for their fellow worshipers who knew all the updates to help such ones and the whole earth will be filled with a peace loving global family {Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3} there will be a lot of richly blessings as God's people inhabiting the earth at that time will all know our God with the same line of thought then no one will need to teach his or her neighbour again about true righteousness! Jeremiah 31:34
So by that time when God declares everlasting life upon all the inhabitants of planet earth {Psalms 37:29 compare to Matthew 5:5} whoever falls sick or dies will be due to sin only and not natural death! Isaiah 65:20; 33:24

NairaLTQ:
By his fruit, he was discovered!

So you didn't discover this fruit while reading his comment before you engaged him?

NairaLTQ:
Did God call Himself YAHWEH or Jehovah?

My God call Himself JEHOVAH! Exodus 6:3 KJV

Exodus 6:3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.

NairaLTQ:
Are your governing bodies Apostles of Christ?

Do you agree with apostle Paul when he said:

And he gave some as APOSTLES, some as prophets, some as evangelizers, some as shepherds and teachers. Ephesians 4:11

Are some given the office of Apostles among Jesus' disciples?

NairaLTQ:
He didn't show his face.

So has he shown it now?

NairaLTQ:
Are you YAHWEH's witnesse or Jehovah's witnesses?

What is the difference between Yahweh and Jehovah?

NairaLTQ:
Correct your strawman else there is no point debating a toddler

Hmmmmmmmmmm, but why did you engage a toddler in the first instance?

Aemmyjah:
It's same person

Oh so why did he switch the account?
I've checked it he has been banned!

NairaLTQ:
Sometimes I wonder if there is an adult behind the keyboard!
Just check if this correlates with what I have been saying or this is your strawman!
SMH!

Were Africans preached to and taught before they became worshipers of the Bible God or they developed the religion through independent thought?

NairaLTQ:
Your governing body is opposed to
Gal 1:8:
"But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel to you other than the one we proclaimed to you, let him be accursed!"
No wonder, they said the covenant name of God is Jehovah rather than YHWH and you swallowed it line , hook and sinker!

What is the original name of Maryam's Son?

Jesus or Yeshua?

NairaLTQ:
Islam
Jehovah's witnesses
Olumba Olumba
Mormons
Something that they all have in common is that their scriptures must be interpreted for them by their scholars or special groups of people.

What about the first century Jewish disciples of Christ who were all obedient to the teachings of the special group called Apostles? Act 2:42

Aemmyjah:
Wrong
Paul was not saying they should compare what they said past n present
He pronounced a curse on anyone claiming to be Apostle or Angel

So were the Apostles united in their thinking regarding the gospel or they had their own independent thinking?

Just allow the two of them with the apostate following to reason together on what the Bible says you will see how confused they are!

NairaLTQ:
Why would the Apostles and Angels be included in this verse.
Shouldn't you just accept WHATEVER they say without question?

Gal 1:8:
"But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel to you other than the one we proclaimed to you, let him be accursed!"

This scripture is against you big time.

Paul was simply saying:
Verify what we are saying now with what had been said before AND if there is any difference, don't accept it.

What had been said before to us is the SCRIPTURE: and anyone Even if he is an Angel from heaven must be SCRUTINIZED with respect to the scripture.


You teach the exact opposite. Too bad!

So which religion has such oneness in their teachings if you know what you're saying now?

TenQ:
"But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel to you other than the one we proclaimed to you, let him be accursed!" Galatians 1:8

If there is INDEPENDENT thought then why do they insist everyone must stick to the same line of thought they all uphold unitedly!

VBCampaign:
People who believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

Good!
Surely Jesus will never eat anything from pagans just as God commanded in the law!

Aemmyjah:
I wanted to ask him if the Eunuch kept some of his gods

He's just a misinformed churchgoer thinking he has scriptural knowledge.
All proselytes were PREACHED to before they abandoned their former gods the difference is that each generation of proselytes have level of understanding as truth is unfolding.

Aemmyjah:
You don't know what you're saying
You think scriptures is like computer science
Is the Ethiopian Eunuch the only proselyte you know in the Bible? There are many
Is Ruth not also a proselyte
Bible says that he was returning from Jerusalem to worship
Did you consider what that means
Go and do research before you start to misyan

It's the rebellious spirit that's killing him slowly!

How can someone abandon the religion of his own ancestors without being PREACHED to or talked to before switching lanes?

Even Abraham the father of all those having faith was called by God Himself Abraham didn't just abandon his pagan gods like that nah!

TenQ:
A Proselyte is ANY non Jew who loves the God of Israel and decides to abandon the gods of his people and have only YAHWEH as his god and obey all His laws.

Exactly so did your own ancestors abandoned their pagan gods to accept this church religion without being PREACHED to?

TenQ:
Any Organisation that forbids INDEPENDENCE of Thought, Reason and Conclusion on Scriptural TRUTHS is a CULT!

Jehovah, Jesus and the Apostles never support INDEPENDENT THOUGHTS on pure worship!

Aemmyjah:
Actually
No one preached to the Ethiopian Eunuch.

Of course he was preached to that's what made him a Jewish proselyte who believe in what the Israelite prophets penned down.
What he never heard is about Jesus of Nazareth who has come to fulfil the prophecies about the Christ and gone back to heaven.

Regarding the scriptures and about the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob all Jewish proselytes were PREACHED to before they became worshipers of the Bible God that's what Jesus said about the Scribes and Pharisees! Matthew 23:15

It's the Good News about Christ that those proselytes haven't heard!

TenQ:
The Eunuch came to Jerusalem for worship as a Jewish proselyte.

This is where you need enlightenment because Jesus actually said about Pharisees:

“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you travel over sea and dry land to make one proselyte, and when he becomes one, you make him a subject for Ge·henʹna twice as much so as yourselves." Matthew 23:15

Note the highlighted:
How do Scribes and Pharisees travel over sea and dry land to make proselytes if they don't PREACH their faith using the scriptures?

Aemmyjah:
They did
Before they became Christians but when they became Christians, they had unity of thought as a britherh6
Many of Jehovah's witnesses including me did same too and when we became baptized, our thoughts began to align in accord with God's word

They are a faithless and rebellious generation you will see him claiming Christian arguing blindly with Muslims but the truth about Christ and Christianity he doesn't know a single thing!

TenQ:
Did ANYONE preach to the Ethiopian Eunuch about Christ prior to this encounter with Philip?

YES! They were preached to about the coming of Christ that's what he was reading aloud when the Holy Spirit moved Philip to go and teach him about Jesus of Nazareth.
It's through Philip's teaching that the Eunuch realized he must be baptized! Act 8:34-36

TenQ:
Did the Bereans study the Bible WITH the Apostles ?
It is a Yes or No question!

Of course they were preached to and just as i went back to compare what JWs taught me with the scriptures that's exactly what they did! Act 17:11

TenQ:
John 8:32:
"And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

For those who replaced the Holy Spirit with "Wolves in Sheepskin", I have this word

John 14:26:
"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatever I have said to you."

The comforter only teach the Apostles and the older men while they in turn teaches the congregation {Hebrews 13:7, 17 compare to Matthew 28:19-20} that's what Paul meant when he said faith comes by hearing the word of God {Romans 10:17} that's heard from those sent out to preach and teach others! Romans 10:13-15

So it's by comparing what you were TAUGHT by the apostles with what is written in the scriptures that you can distinguish between truth and falsehood! John 8:32

Not that you just study the Bible all alone and become a teacher of God's word through the Holy Spirit while others must learn from you as their pastor. Knowledge is passed from one person to another! 1Corinthians 4:7

Aemmyjah:
The 70 showed independent thinking and left Jesus Christ
I'm sure he'll have mocked the other that stayed with Jesus

They don't want to be a part of cannibals who will eat the flesh and drink the blood of Jesus as that sounds like a CULT to them! John 6:62-66
