Emusan:Of course the group name "CHRISTIANS" was given to a first century peaceful group whose founder COMMANDED all members to go about the task he gave them as WISE as serpent and HARMLESS as dove {Matthew 10:16} they are to LOVE their NEIGHBOURS as themselves {Mark 12:31} FELLOW BELIEVERS as the founder loves them {John 13:34-35} and to love also pray for those posing as ENEMIES! Luke 6:27-28 So if some religionists today are claiming they are members of this group but completely turning their backs on the instructions from the founder surely they have BASTARDIZED that name and brought a CURSE upon it! Matthew 15:7-9 ![]() |
Umadam:Abeg take am easy o! ![]() |
jaephoenix:I have told you this several times but for the benefit of other followers i will repeat it again. Peaceful doesn't mean restraining order not to fight rather it goes beyond that as members go to meet neighbours in their homes to teach them why this is the best thing to do! Matthew 28:19-20 |
FxMasterz:Guy it's better to admit you err because you also claim NEEDS are NUMEROUS showing that you're talking about lacking satisfaction whereas NEEDS are just three things: FOOD CLOTHING and SHELTER! ![]() |
Emusan:You can cry for all i care! If there are thousands of religious groups with contradicting teachings and conflicting doctrines claiming Christians there must be fake as well as original. So mention the name of your church otherwise you are just joking! ![]() |
freshboi88:That's what TRANSLATION entails! If Jesus is the firstborn of creation then the rest are other children of creation so it's appropriate to include the word "OTHER" for readers to grasp what Paul is saying. Note that languages don't go like 123. For instance in Yorùbá language if i say: "nítorí ipasẹ̀ rẹ̀ ni a dá gbogbo ohun (mìíràn) ní ọ̀run àti ní ayé" Another translator may say: "nítorí ipasẹ̀ rẹ̀ ni a dá gbogbo ohun ní ọ̀run àti ní ayé" Take note of the word (mìíràn) it's appropriate to make the reader understand that the firstborn is also part of creation! |
FxMasterz:Ọmọ the word NUMEROUS or INSATIABLE shouldn't be used for human NEEDS as babies and old people are also humans yet they are SATISFIED with FOOD CLOTHING and SHELTER. It's GREED that gives birth to insatiability and it's not all humans that are greedy! ![]() |
FxMasterz:Guy admit that you're wrong now at least show some level of civility. You can't represent faith in God yet arguing blindly. NEEDS are limited so any rich human can make it happen by providing FOOD, CLOTHING and SHELTER for many but WANTS is the problem of mankind because humans are never satisfied. ![]() |
FxMasterz:That's what i'm telling you that it's WANTS that is numerous/unlimited as for NEED it's just those three things no matter how young or old you are those three are a must! ![]() |
FxMasterz:Do you really have the knowledge you claim? The highlighted is wrong! Human NEED is just three: FOOD CLOTHING SHELTER It's human WANTS that's unlimited Sir! ![]() |
Pickup8:They are fulfilling what Jesus said will be done to his REAL disciples: “A student is not above his teacher, nor a slave above his master. It is enough for the student to become as his teacher, and the slave as his master. If people have called the master of the house Be·elʹze·bub, how much more those of his household? Matthew 10:24-25 So when we hear religionists of different sects saying this about us we rejoice greatly because that's what Jesus said will be done to his REAL disciples! Matthew 5:11-12 ![]() |
FxMasterz:So why is the world filled with problems? Are you saying the universities aren't enough? At least problem solving becomes easy among Jehovah's Witnesses as they keep managing the imperfection of members without resorting to weapons and WARS! |
freshboi88:I can use any translation so i'm not obligated to use only one translation. YES Jesus is the FIRSTBORN of all CREATIONS and God used him to create all other things {Colossians 1:15-16} just as Adam is the FIRSTBORN of all human whom God used to populate the earth! Luke 3:38 |
freshboi88:I will COPY and PASTE what God's word the Bible says. We can't debate on what the Bible teaches without quoting God's word nah! ![]() |
Freshboi88 I will tell you what i know about Jesus Christ as written in the Bible. He is the son of the living God! Matthew 16:13-16 If you agree let me know if not air your own view! |
Do the government still sentence some citizens to death? Well God gave that nation a constitution and it includes death penalty! |
freshboi88:If truly you want to debate just kick off but no mention of any religion or church all we need is what the Bible TEACHES! Are you ready? ![]() |
Truvelisback:The collection was ongoing in the temple where worshipers practiced JUDAISM he is still having serious issues with what he has said about the way that religion was conducted so he has no say on the way Jews practice their religion back then. In fact that's what led to his being accused, arrest and death! |
Truvelisback:So what do you think people in the 21st century should call a place where people meet for special events? |
freshboi88:You see what i mean! ![]() That's why you must mention the name of your own church because all churches don't teach the same thing that's what led to so much contradictions. ![]() |
freshboi88:So in the course of our debate you must not refer to or quote any religion except the Bible, right? ![]() |
Truvelisback:If you call a place of worship "CHURCH" it's wrong from Bible's viewpoint because the word "Church" means the congregation not a building! |
Truvelisback:Please can you quote the verse where Jesus collected offering? What i knew is that he sat at a distance with his disciples (friends) as they were watching people dropping money into the Temple's Treasury! Mark 12:41 |
Stayingalive:True Christianity is about how God is using His Holy Spirit to gather imperfect but faithful and obedient humans in all the nations {Isaiah 2:2; Micah 4:1} these people will start paying rapt attention to what the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob said as written in the Bible {Isaiah 2:3; Micah 4:2} and the expected result of this is they will use what they found in the pages of the Bible to settle their disparities peacefully among themselves, divert their resources into production of food and information materials, stop the production, buying, selling and using destructive devices, stop enrolling in the army and vow never to raise weapons against anyone again! Isaiah 2:4; Micah 4:3 This is the greatest miracle that will destroy all the machinations of Satan {1John 3:8} whose intention is to see the entire human race wiped out {John 10:10} but who will establish such a program among imperfect humans? That's why a perfect child needs to be born among mankind {Isaiah 9:6} this child will grow into an adult as a perfect man he will then lead imperfect humans in the way of holiness {Isaiah 35:8} the establishment of Christianity was to achieve this goal that's why Jesus is called the Prince of Peace {Isaiah 9:6} as he will counsel obedient mankind to form one big and happy family of peace loving worshipers! Zephaniah 3:9 Of course there are thousands of groups claiming Christians today but out of them all only Jehovah's Witnesses are fulfilling this prophecy with their activities globally proving that the Prince of Peace has come and they are witnesses to the fact that his teachings can unite people of all nations in love! Act 1:8 Please if you have a better explanation about what true Christianity should do among mankind don't hesitate to air your views. Thanks and God bless you!

jaephoenix:Do you know any ORGANIZED people among whom there is no such thing? I never said there is no such thing happening among JWs but your presentation was biased so i kept trashing it to see how far you can stand your own fallacy. The truth is Jehovah's Witnesses organization is the most decent and peace loving group ever so when enemies of truth like you see any loophole you want to exaggerate it as if such a thing doesn't occur elsewhere. The purpose of Christianity isn't about making imperfect individuals to become perfect in this system of things rather it is to gather faithful and obedient ones throughout the earth and start preparing them for the bright future when God will remove wickedness completely. So out of all religious organizations ever formed on this planet only Jehovah's Witnesses are WORKING towards that goal but that doesn't mean you won't find people who are still struggling with their own individual traits among them. One thing God wants now is OBEDIENCE afterwards each person will start working on his or her own flaws to meet up with what lies ahead which is a perfect world. But since you're a hopeless atheist you just want to discard it all by making it sound as if nothing can work that's why i too decided to play along so you can hug a transformer. I told you such stories aren't true as they are exaggerating it otherwise such acts supposed to be rampant among them here too! ![]()

Oseone1:The truth is birthday celebration is from pagan origin that's why you can't see any worshiper of God who celebrated birthdays in the Bible. Moreover God's word admonished worshipers to celebrate the last day a person spent on the earth {Ecclesiastes 7:1} because that's when we can say he or she has fulfilled the will of God {Ecclesiastes 7:8} now note that Jesus did exactly that by instructing his disciples to commemorate the day he died instead of his birthday {Luke 22:19} and trust his faithful disciples that is exactly what they continue practicing afterwards! 1Corinthians 11:23-26 This is why Jesus said his disciples will be labelled "CULTISTS" for sticking to his orders! Matthew 10:24-25 May you have PEACE! |
lanzini309:You can visit our website jw.org to know how contributions are collected and used among Jehovah's Witnesses! |
Truvelisback:Jesus didn't collect offering from anyone what he did was to commend a Judaist who was a poor old widow! Luke 21:1-4 After Christianity was established disciples of Christ began gathering whatever they had to assist one another, to support the ministry and missionaries that was what led to collections among them. |
Myer:I'm not one of the anointed! |
freshboi88:So we will not talk about any group or what they teach in the group as that must bring the question back since we don't want to debate church, right? ![]() |
Truvelisback:We are in the 21st century and not ancient Israel so you can't expect a place to meeting in our time to be called TEMPLE or SYNAGOGUE nah! ![]() |
EBEk101:It's good to judge people individually not as a group when talking about individual traits but when talking about TEACHING that's when we can judge by performance as a group because that's what they were all taught. Judas Iscariot was bad as a person but that doesn't stop him from being active in the preaching and teaching work Jesus assigned to his disciples so if people see them together the fact remains that they're doing the work Jesus assigned it's individual traits that we will now treat not as a group. Today most people are confused due to the characters of individuals found in different religions instead of what the religion teaches and the overall result in the society. You can't tell me that there is no good person even among Boko Haram members because at a point in time some of them who were recruited into the group due to brainwashing began thinking differently after noticing that what the group is doing doesn't add up such ones truly prove that they don't belong there the same applies to all the religions you can think of on planet earth but when it comes to Christianity it's not about individual character rather what Jesus taught and the expected result! |
