It's the condition of people's hearts that God is talking about not that God deliberately made it difficult for them to grasp the message. For instance let's say Jesus knocks on a door in Nigeria today how do you think many will treat him? He was a simple easygoing young man but so impressive and optimistic his facial expression. What interests each Nigerian right now is how they can come out of the hardship in which they find themselves, whereas Jesus and his team were preaching and teaching about God's Kingdom which is not imminent so 99% of his audience won't welcome Jesus or his disciples. So whose ears could be attentive to the message Jesus and his disciples are bringing? Such a person must have a pure heart and a simple mindset regarding riches he or she shouldn't be desperate for wealth {Psalms 24:3} otherwise everything Jesus says will enter through one ear and escape through the other ear! Matthew 13:22 So it's the condition of people's hearts that will determine whether they will be saved or not God has made the life saving message accessible to both old and young, male and female, rich and poor, educated and illiterates! 1Timothy 2:4 |

TenQ:You're just thirsty for fruitless arguments the Bible made it clear that Apostle Paul preached to both the Thessalonians as well as Beroeans the Thessalonians didn't doubt what they heard after witnessing miracles just as people like you are carried away with miracles but the Beroeans went back to meditate on what they heard so as to draw a conclusion after diligent study of what they knew before. You can't compare yourself to the Beroeans because you know nothing about the true God, Jesus or the Apostles as you're advocating independent thought. If there was independent thoughts why did God gave rules on how His worshipers must do things stating: "You must not do this, You must not do that" Exodus 20:3-17 And Jesus won't say he does nothing apart from what his father approves! John 5:19; 8:28 So guy you know nothing about the true God, Jesus or his apostles humble yourself and learn! |

Her problem came through her father! Rachel was Jacob's choice but Laban didn't want her to get married before her elder sister which is not necessary Leah started sleeping with her husband from the day they got married that's why she had many sons before seven years when Laban later gave Rachel to the same man. The mistake Rachel made was nursing the idea that Leah stole her man because she's the one Jacob love not Leah had it been she refused to marry him after having her sister she wouldn't have been through all those troubles. Later God told the Israelite men not to repeat what Jacob did to the two daughters of Laban: “‘You must not take a woman in addition to her sister as a rival wife and have sexual relations with her while her sister is alive" Leviticus 18:18 She shouldn't have agreed to marry her sister's husband since Jacob has been sleeping with Leah! 133 Likes 10 Shares |

TenQ:The Beroeans were students of the scriptures already so they were conversant with Genesis to Malachi therefore all what the disciples of Christ told them as fellow disciples was that they have found the Messiah (Christ) Any student of the scriptures knows where to start his or her findings by going through all the prophecies having to do with the Christ in the scriptures from Genesis to Malachi. Today why do we need to study the Bible entirely with the true Christians? Because we aren't Bible students before and we don't even know anything about the prophecies having to do with the Christ in the Old Testament. To have accurate knowledge of the scriptures we must study the Bible with the true Christians from Genesis to Revelations unlike the Beroeans who already had the knowledge of the scriptures through teachings from the Judaists who made them Jewish proselytes. For your information that's why Jesus told his disciples to go throughout the earth and make disciples of people baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit {Matthew 28:19} this requires teaching this pagans all they need to know about the one and only true God and all His wonderful works of old which He did through His Holy Spirit and the role His only begotten Son will play in the salvation of obedient mankind. You will notice that the disciples of Christ only baptized the Jewish proselytes in Jesus name that's because those proselytes already had the knowledge of the true God and how His Holy Spirit works what they don't know is that the Christ (Messiah) has come and gone in person of Jesus Christ. That's why Peter told his listeners in the day of Pentecost to get baptized in the name of Jesus whom they have never heard anything about before telling them that he (Jesus) is the Christ all worshipers of God has been expecting! Act 2:38 If you have any question feel free to ask your grievances doesn't show that you're knowledgeable in the scriptures it only shows impatience on your part! |

Aemmyjah:I know him long before now, it's after a long time battle that he stoped quoting me now he has been quoting the Quran and arguing with Muslims expecting them to agree with him when himself and all his cohorts never agree on the same thing about Jesus. Did Muslims claim they believe in Jesus? YES! So what is the problem they're having with one another? Is it not independent thoughts about the prophets of God? He wants to claim that any organization that's against independent (contradicting) thoughts is a cult forgetting that neither Jehovah, Jesus nor the Apostles welcome such!  |
| Christianity Etc › Re: JW 024 Noble Minded Beroians, What Helped Them? by MaxInDHouse(op): 8:49pm On Jun 22, 2024 |
Some childish talks use to amaze me! How can someone say an organization should allow for independent thought whereas the founder of the organization never allowed for such? Jesus of Nazareth told his disciples that once they become his disciples they're no longer an independent person rather they must think, talk and act like him: Then said Jesus unto his disciples, "If any man will come after me, let him DENY HIMSELF, and take up his cross, and follow me." Matthew 16:24 Are you INDEPENDENT if you have to DENY YOURSELF and follow everything someone else says? How can the disciples of the man who spoke those words have contradicting opinions if they're to DENY THEMSELVES and stick to his ideas? No wonder Jesus said people who don't know him will call his real disciples a CULT! Matthew 10:24-25 |

TenQ:Exactly what all noble minded people should do but did each of them study the Bible on his own or they as a group studied the scriptures having in mind what Jesus' disciples told them about their leader that he is the Christ? TenQ:Definitely the apostles of Jesus were a cult because this is what they did: And they continued devoting themselves to the teaching of the apostles, to associating together, to the taking of meals, and to prayers. Act 2:42 So whoever has any independent thoughts or conclusions that contradicts theirs is not welcome as a believer! However, even if we or an angel out of heaven were to declare to you as good news something beyond the good news we declared to you, let him be accursed. Galatians 1:8 compare to 1Corinthians 1:10 and Ephesians 4:3 Surely the apostles were a cult and Jesus supported this act: "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 |

MaxInDHouse:Well the Bible students in Beroea went back to their copies of the scriptures from Genesis to Malachi and began considering all the prophecies having to do with the Messiah even though Jesus never fulfilled all that was written in the scriptures about the Messiah but he met up with 70% of what any human can fulfill within a lifetime! So the Jewish proselytes in Beroean believe in the words of Jesus' disciples that with what Jesus was able to achieve within that short period nobody can deny it unless a BETTER PERFORMING Jew can do better than Jesus of Nazareth but after 2000 years no Jew has been able to meet up with the records of Jesus of Nazareth! So today if we want to be like the Beroeans in the Bible should we be criticizing any religion without finding a better performing group? We need to know what Jesus said about his disciples in the last days then check all existing religions to know which one is meeting up with what Jesus said about his disciples in the last days! |

The Jews as a nation finds it difficult to believe in Jesus of Nazareth because of their leaders in Judaism. Their leaders believe that when the Messiah (Christ) comes he will conquer all the nations of the earth and start a one world government which the headquarters will be in Jerusalem {Isaiah 2:3} so they were do jealous of anyone coming to dictate for them in that city as they strongly believe it's their own and whoever holds a high position in Jerusalem will surely participate in the rulership of the world whenever the Messiah comes. So they were eagerly anticipating the coming of Christ but ironically they were disappointed when Jesus began pointing out their flaws and all the evil they've been doing as leaders of the Jews {Matthew 23:13-30} Jesus of Nazareth that same day declared that Jerusalem has been CONDEMNED and is no longer worthy of that glory {Matthew 23:31-38} Jesus told them that the one and only escape root for the Jewish nation and restoration of its glory is if they unanimously welcome him as the prophet who has come in the name of JEHOVAH (YAHWEH) just as Moses prophesied! Matthew 23:39 compare to Deuteronomy 18:18-19 Prior to that time in Jerusalem the Jews actually welcomed Jesus like a king {Matthew 21:1-9} fulfilling the prophecy in the Bible book of Zechariah 9:9 but were their leaders happy seeing the fulfillment of God's word? NO! Rather they were objecting the fulfillment of God's word {Matthew 21:15-16} despite seeing all the miraculous works Jesus did and the grand entry as foretold in the scriptures, that day Jesus used an illustration to show the deplorable condition of the Jewish nation: He was returning and sighted a fig tree going closer to pick some of its fruit he discovered that the tree was UNPRODUCTIVE instantly Jesus cursed that tree saying it will never bear any FRUIT again! Matthew 21:18-20 Interpretation of the illustration! The Jewish nation failed to produce the fruit of faith in God so the glory has been taken away from them forever and given to another nation that's producing the FRUIT of faith! Matthew 21:43 With that the Jewish religious leaders banned the name of Jesus in Jerusalem and all it's district {John 9:22} they also sent out their members to go from city to city and town to town telling people not to believe whatever Jesus of Nazareth says as it's all HERESY! Matthew 23:15 Despite all these the inheritants of Beroea put faith in what Jesus' disciples told them about Jesus of Nazareth. WHY? 2 Likes |

If i'm fully convinced that the spiritual head of my religion is working for Satan the next thing should be to switch to a better performing group nah. There's no sense in calling names because his or her own friends will never ever abandon him no matter what i think, say or do. So instead of wasting my precious time going about accusing him or his friends/followers the best thing is to find my own way. Forward ever backward never! 1 Like

Spirituality is one thing and religiousity stands apart both aren't the same but there is no way you can become God's friends without being religious because God has a purpose which His worshipers must fulfill anyone who is no part of those fulfilling it has no future before the true God. So what is spirituality? Spirituality is having a dealing with one or more spirits for a reason best known to you. What is religiousity? Religiousity is working towards a goal along with fellow believers as the God (supreme being) instructs all His worshipers. Satan and his demons have misconstrued the two making those lacking knowledge to think it's about the same thing whereas a spiritual person can be likened to one who strives to have a close relationship with a King such a person may be deceived into thinking he or she is dealing with the real King but how can you have a close relationship with a King whose purpose you don't know? Surely anybody claiming to be a King but has no plans to establish his kingdom and ensure there is peace and security is FAKE. You can only have a close relationship with the king when you're among those working zealously to expand his domain as you work industriously with other faithful subjects who have hope in the objectives of that King. So any spiritualists who is not affiliated to any religion is dealing with DEMONS and not the true God! |

From Genesis to Revelations the Bible declared one man as the role model all humans must imitate when it comes to the case of perfection! “For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life." John 3:16 There are many spirit sons of God in heaven {Job 38:7} this angels are perfect and they know exactly what God requires from intelligent beings yet God never introduced any of them to man for us to learn the way of holiness role model {Hebrews 1:5} except Jesus of Nazareth {Matthew 17:5} because perfection on the part of humans is tied to the disciplining of our physical body {1 Corinthians 9:27 compare to Ephesians 4:22-24} so Jesus is the only human who lived in the flesh and performed excellently when talking of perfection in human form! 1John 4:2 But to meet up with Jesus' perfection it will take an imperfect human much more than a lifetime that's what it means that Christ will reign for a thousand years, each human will have to continue learning how to meet up with the standard Jesus set through his thoughts, words and actions until a thousand years is complete by then we will have completed our training because Satan, his demons and human agents promoting falsehood will not be around throughout the thousand years of Christ Jesus!

According to the scriptures the Messiah will conquer all the kingdoms (governments) of all the earth and establish his own government right there in Jerusalem {Isaiah 2:3} which will never be passed onto any other ruler but his kingdom will remain forever and ever! Daniel 2:44 compare to Isaiah 9:6-7 Jesus was killed by his enemies and there was no single sign that the Jews or his disciples will ever rule anywhere so what convinced the Beroean Christians that Jesus is the Christ? |

In the first century Jewish community there were numerous religious sects all claiming worshipers of the God of Abraham but then there is contradictions among them as they had different schools of thought headed by a body called Pharisees. Each Pharisee had his own Rabbinic school where students were thought to become Pharisees in the future, the Apostle Paul was tutored in one of these Rabbinic schools under a Pharisee whose name is Gamaliel! Act 22:3 compare to Act 5:34 So when Jesus of Nazareth began preaching and teaching throughout all the district of Judea and his teaching didn't match any of their Rabbinic schools {Matthew 7:28-29} they all ganged up to incriminate him because they were envious thinking that with his teachings Jesus will win the heart of all their people! John 11:48 They conspired with Roman politician called Pontius Pilate and killed Jesus of Nazareth believing that their troubles are over not until Jesus' disciples began preaching and teaching that the man killed as a blasphemer is actually the long awaited Messiah! Act 2:36 This is what Jesus' disciples were preaching and teaching with zeal that led to crisis among the Jews in the first century as their leaders began hunting Jesus' disciples telling them to stop claiming that Jesus is the Christ (Messiah) Act 4:18; 5:28 So in every land where Judaism has become a religion among people of other nations Jesus' disciples quickly gained the attention of people who were Jewish proselytes as all these people were also in expectation of the Messiah. Noteworthy are Jewish proselytes found in an ancient city called Beroea these proselytes heard what Jesus' disciples preached but since the Jewish religious sects that taught them Judaism never told them anything like that they were skeptical about Jesus' disciples even though Jesus' disciples were performing great signs and wonders in Jesus name the Beroean proselytes didn't just jump at them to accept their message unlike their fellow proselytes in Thessalonica they were studying the scriptures diligently everyday to be sure that what Jesus' disciples are saying is true! Act 17:11 Now the question each Bible student need to ask himself or herself today: *Am i noble minded like the Jewish proselytes in the first century Beroean community? *Since there was only the Old Testament (Genesis - Malachi) that was available back then how were they convinced that Jesus is the Messiah? *Why did they choose to study the scriptures instead of believing the disciples of Jesus and not minding their miraculous works? *How can i be noble minded like them today? 2 Likes

epfa:This is exactly what i personally concluded even without reading it anywhere all i heard from them is that they believe the world will end in the year 1914 but as things turn out nothing happened that year and the first Watchtower President in person of Charles Taze Russell died in 1916 and the rest of the group were arrested only to be released in the year 1919 and spontaneous they began preaching and teaching throughout the world until today. Ọmọ i went back to have a personal study of my Bible without them {Act 17:11} and through the study i discovered that Jesus who returned to earth in 1914 was checking all the religions claiming Christians but none was willing to make amendments in their errors so he chose them in the year 1919 and hand over the assignment for them to gather all faithful and obedient humans throughout the earth that year.
