This is not the life God purposed for mankind that's why the Bible called the one God purposed "the real life" 1Timothy 6:19

Will you like to know how life will be in God's kingdom?

You will love to know why Jesus of Nazareth asked his disciples to continue praying:

"Let your kingdom come, let your will take place also here on earth as it is happening in heaven" Matthew 6:10

Why do religious folks seek medical attentions when they have an Almighty God who can hear and answer them instantly when they pray for sound health

That is what FALSE RELIGION taught you God never promised His worshipers instant health care now in His word He said the HERBS He created in the fields are for our sound health! Psalms 104:14

He promised a time when He will forgive all our sins it's then that sicknesses resulting from mankind's disobedience will disappear for good not now.

Meanwhile He often cure some of His worshipers miraculously because of the work they are doing which may stop due to poor health condition but he never promised to always do such.

That's the truth!

@emboldened, what are you doing on this thread? Why is it challenging to the religious people when their faith are being questioned?
People sow mostly where they are going to reap. Why do people continue donating their hard earned money all in the name of tithes yet get nothing in return ?

I'm here because you want to chat with RELIGIOUS people on a forum that has religion section whereas you are against religion.

So it's you that's not supposed to be found on this section at all not the other way around.

If you're a normal human and feel like others have the right to choose whatever they will do with their time, money and energy just as you also chose yours then who sent you to question them?

i've seen that. Let's just wait and expect more lies. He's coming to explain himself again with many more lies.

Keep waiting for more lies yet you know where to get the truth shey?

Funny atheists!

The brothers started that thing but it wasn't well planned like what we does today instead of sharing the money we use it to get things all members will benefit from for instance Bibles, publications, relief materials, Kingdom Halls and many more.
Sharing money to make everyone equal is what is evil because Jesus said we will always have the poor with us {Mark 14:7} therefore we can always help by getting the things they need to continue serving our God with joy like the rest of the brothers. 2Corinthians 8:14

So both of you are wrong that's why you can't find a single religion where people sell their properties only to bring the money and start sharing equally among themselves.

That's what they got wrong back then but today Jesus used God's Holy Spirit to direct his disciples on how to make use of such funds.

You can still ask your friends to help you in finding any religion claiming Christians that's sharing money equally among themselves today if you don't believe what i'm telling you now after all they claimed they're also Christians!

Why do you want to chat with neighbours like me when we have nothing in common?

Who sent you to question what people choose to do with their life and money?

Well if you don't know that idea only came from Jesus of Nazareth you can never ever see anyone who has ordered people to go out and question what others do with their time or money except Jesus of Nazareth.

That's why his disciples call him "Lord"

What you're doing now is unwarranted if you have nothing to do with what your neighbours choose to do with their time, energy and money except if you must refer to what Jesus commanded!

Could you please elaborate about the goal. How beneficiary is it to those who have been donating for years?

Jesus organized his disciples and commanded them to take the message to all the nations {Matthew 28:19-20} they will need money for transportation, building worship centers in places where converts increases, to get Bibles and other Bible based publications, disaster relief materials and so on.

All these JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES (true Christians) are enjoying even though we don't pay tithes in cash!

What is it to you?

If you study political science you will know that there is nothing called obsolete in the laws human government makes because after each system of government new set of rules comes up which may favour people who has been cut off in the past.

For instance Democracy was founded 580 BCE so today it's over 2,500 years yet some countries are still fighting against it while those who started it has discarded it long ago!

So instead of concluding that all those claiming Christians are Christians try to find out what Jesus taught then know the group that's putting it to use that's how to know the real Christians not just those claiming they are Christians otherwise this person is also an atheist no matter what you say as long as he claims to be one!

Funny atheists!

Instead of finding out what Christianity really stands for you have concluded that all those claiming Christians are Christians so whatever they practice is Christianity shey?

Well the only money true Christians gather is called "OFFERING" it's out of this they go about with all the things they need as a group tithes is not part of what Christians practice because it has no place in Christianity that's why those practicing it can't figure out what to do with it hence their leaders makes it their personal money!

Christianity Etc › Re: New Changes For Jehovah's Witness: Women Can Wear Trousers, Men Must Not Wear.. by MaxInDHouse(m): 9:33am On Mar 20, 2024

cocoduck:
You can never be more wrong! Understanding the Bible is a gradual process, as time goes on, understanding improves, then changes are made not to the Bible but to our beleif.

When Jesus said:

“Do not think I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I came, not to destroy, but to fulfill" Matthew 5:17

Only intelligent readers could connect that to the statements he was making earlier saying

"stop this or that the way you've been doing it before but start doing it this way"

When those listening heard him only few accepted his counsel and it's this few that later became his disciples all those rejecting the improvement in understanding can't be his disciples.

In fact Jesus never prayed with them which prompted them to ask him to teach them how to pray {Luke 11:1} Jesus just highlighted the necessary points they needed to emphasize in their prayers {Matthew 6:9-13} but later he prayed and this is what he said in his prayer:

"Now they have come to know that all the things you gave me are from you; because I have given them the sayings that you gave me, and they have accepted them and have certainly come to know that I came as your representative, and they have believed that you sent me. I make request concerning them; I make request, not concerning the world, but concerning those whom you have given me, because they are yours" John 17:7-9

According to the highlighted in red Jesus only prayed for and with those who welcomed the improvement in their understanding of God's word!

An atheist is someone who simply does not believe in the existence of God. Claiming to be an atheist yet believing in the existence of a God is not even foolishness. It has something to do with the brain. It's like saying , I'm 200 years old today in my mother's womb. Anyways. All the best

When i told you that instead of following the given definition you need to expatiate you said i was wrong shey?

Templee333:
it's written in your bible that "all of you are brothers", but you are still entangled by the bitterness of your forebear, that's why it's hard for you to accept what your bible say even when you claim to be a bible scholar. Well, i can't share in your segregation so i keep using the term "brother" as i'm taught. It's a miracle that you teach people about God while you deny being part of that God.

Highlighted is directed only to those having the same line of thought in Christ Jesus {Matthew 23:8} that's why he questioned the person who called his unbelieving immediate family his brothers and mother:

While he was yet speaking to the crowds, his mother and brothers were standing outside, seeking to speak to him. So someone said to him: “Look! Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak to you.” In reply he said to the one who spoke to him: “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” And extending his hand toward his disciples, he said: “Look! My mother and my brothers! For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, that one is my brother and sister and mother" Matthew 12:46-50

So get it straight today that if you and i don't share the same line of thought in beliefs you are not my brother rather you're my neighbour!

You are repeating what you read from a book. Reality is different from that. Let outsiders praise you and not your own lips. Don't be like the thieve who was crucified alongside christ, for he kept praising himself until his partner rebuked him. Don't be like Goliath who kept boasting until David defeated him hands down. Don't be like the pharisee who kept praising himself in prayer until God declared a tax collector more righteous than him. It is a fatal mistake for one to exalt himself before God. Beware brother! Beware!

I keep correcting you Mr faithless that you are not my brother, you were never my brother, you won't be my brother and you can never ever be my brother what you are to me is neighbour get that straight that you are my neighbours not my brother!

I'm not boasting about myself but i'm telling the world what i discovered about a group the joyful things i can't keep alone to myself!

Christianity Etc › Re: Who Exempted " Religious Groups" From Paying Taxes? by MaxInDHouse(m): 7:15am On Mar 20, 2024

Imagine you have lots of children and each of them has been given a fix amount that he or she must remit to your account periodically will you still charge them for assembling together as a group because they are gathering money to promote such assembly?

Government is collecting tax from individuals so what is the essence of asking groups of people to pay another form of tax for gathering?

The only thing that could warrant such taxation is if their assembly is causing another problem for the state but in the absence of such it's uncalled for remember that the so called government are individuals from these same religious groups so who will make such law?

Perhaps when atheists and agnostics begin their own government to rule over religious people they can introduce such a law.

Now i know why the religious won't allow atheists or agnostics in power over them! undecided

Yes the order of the Supreme being is in the uniqueness of all creatures, for humans, God has given them consciousness, will and beings what dey do with it is up to them, same way God has given to the Animal

I noticed you quantified God with the word "SUPREME BEING" and since animals don't have the same level of intelligence like us they can't make any improvements in the way they go about their existence till today unlike humans who have continued to improve in the way we dress, eat, sleep, communicate, travel and so on.

So if you as an intelligent being defined someone as the SUPREME BEING please of what essence is such supremacy if those who recognized his existence don't have anything to do with him?

Among humans when we say someone is supreme such a person is revered as the one who has the final say when we have serious issues that could lead us into killing one another that's why we have the Supreme Court to give the final verdict.
How come your own supreme being can't find a way to communicate with the works of his hands only to watch them destroying one another like he doesn't exist?

Templee333:
I'm too blind to see them, i agree. Time shall tell who is really blind

Time has spoken in volume!

From late 1800s Charles Taze Russell began a research on why religions have brought so much pain and suffering to humanity, he was going from one church to another with the aim of finding the truth about what Christ laid down as principles for his disciples and Jesus began noticing this man even though he never spoke directly to him, Russell later found a clue with the Seventh Day Adventis and later he discovered that the church is not ready for the improvement needed to meet up with the things Jesus laid down so he left once again and now with his own group of researchers they began the journey as Jesus started leading the group and directing them to make adjustments where it's needed up till today.

So how has time spoken?

Out of all the religions claiming Christians on this planet today Jehovah's Witnesses have been able to make sure that all the members are active preachers and industrious teachers of God's word anywhere they are {Matthew 28:19-20} they have fulfilled what Malachi said at Chapter 3:16 and many sincere and honest hearted individuals have noticed this group as the one and only organization directed by the true God! Malachi 3:18

From my own personal experience in religion i discovered that the Bible book of Isaiah 2:2-4 is exactly what Micah repeated at chapter 4:1-3 and only Jehovah's Witnesses are fulfilling this prophecy today.

So my friend time has spoken in volumes that what Charles Taze Russell started that time had God's backing even though he made lots of errors while searching for the truth.

Our light is getting ever brighter that is why you can never ever find a single religion on this planet that can stand side by side with this organization to prove they're up to date in the fulfillment of what God promised regarding His united worshipers! Zephaniah 3:9

I live among Jws and i know about many of them who complain about their wickedness and hypocrisy when they are out of sight but they will praise themselves in public.

"I wrote something to the congregation, but Di·otʹre·phes, who likes to have the first place among them, does not accept anything from us with respect. That is why if I come, I will call attention to the works he is doing in spreading malicious talk about us. Not being content with this, he refuses to welcome the brothers with respect; and those who want to welcome them, he tries to hinder and to throw out of the congregation." 3John 9-10

So no be today such people exist but instead of sitting among them {Psalms 1:1} you should have advised them to get another religion as you're doing now! wink
