NNTR:
Does Yoruba philosophy and/or any of the Yoruba/Naiyja mythologies match Greek's way of delineating love?

Philosophy is man-made so it has lots of flaws that's why Bible scholars like me don't rely on them.

Is Your Mission As A True Christian Also To Convert The True Muslims To Become "True Christians" ?

The adverb "TRUE" comes to mind in the midst of FALSE so i used the word true to signify that there are many religions claiming Christians but only one is following the footsteps of the first century Christian group.

So if you say true Muslims can you tell me the group name of the one true Muslim group out of the numerous sects claiming Muslims?

By the way the group name of the one and only true Christian group is Jehovah's Witnesses that's what we are called today!

Zaheertyler:
Ohh there are different types of love I thought love is love or nothing

Greek philosophy!

Love is the bond between two living creatures one may choose to love the other while the other may not even know why.
For instance humans love the animals so we don't want them to go into extinction whereas some of those animals are predators.
But when it comes to relationships this must be based on mutual understanding not one sided!

MightySparrow:
These GB doctrinal nonsense self.
Give scriptural examples.

Emusan:
So Jehovah witness is now A CHRISTIAN organisation. I thought you said the name Christian is bastardised and cursed, how come?

The name "CHRISTIANS" was given to disciples of Christ in an ancient city called Antioch by faithless Jews to mock them and the disciples welcomed the new development but today the religions claiming Christians aren't following the steps of Jesus' first century disciples that's what makes the group name BASTARDIZED.

So if anyone wants to know how the first century disciples got that name today all you need to do is observe Jehovah's Witnesses way of preaching and teaching then consider how they're being vilified everywhere that's when you can know who are the true Christians of our time!

Better Person Don Write.
The Problem is That This Cannot Happen With Christians Because Many of Their Doctrines Are Fashioned To Cajole People And Falsely Collect Money From Them.
Do You Also Imply That The Muslims Follow ONE DOCTRINE ?

Of course the Muslims follow one doctrine it's teaching that's their problem!

Now true Christians have the same teaching and doctrine but you have to be honest hearted and sincere before you can IDENTIFY the one and only true Christian group!

Emusan:
It's boldly written in the Bible that
Jesus is God Almighty.

Please no twisting this time around, can you quote the highlighted in any verse of the Bible?

Emusan:
Olodo....

I never used CELEBRATION of RING

Your first post says "It's a pagan tradition..."

Wedding ring is a pagan tradition not what was found used by any servants of God.

So, I'm not talking about people CELEBRATING the ring rather the source just like Birthday.

You're the mind reader who wants to project your confusion on what I didn't say.

So iron, silver or gold used in making jewelries are from demons shey?

NNTR:
Eros is sensual love, its a love, lust or desire for another person's physical body through PDA, touching, kissing, hugging and holding hands.

Greek philosophy!

What Will It Take For Christians To Build A SACRED COMMUNITY Like This On Nairaland?

Oneness in teaching and doctrine!

Jesus conferred the title "APOSTLES" on twelve Jewish men whom he selected among his many disciples {Luke 6:13} this means that the apostles of Christ were part of a group that has been following Jesus for some time they he didn't just pick anyone randomly from among unbelievers to be chosen as apostle.

Now Jesus expressly stated that these twelve Jewish men are to oversee the Christians in Judea (Jewish disciples of Christ) until the destruction of Jerusalem because they will stand as his witnesses in the day of judgement against the Israelites that God actually fulfilled His promise regarding the Messiah He will send through the lineage of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob {Matthew 19:28} so they must leave Jerusalem! Act 1:4

But Jesus promised that his disciples will be found in all the corners of the earth {Matthew 28:19-20; Act 1:8} so how will that be possible if they don't leave Jerusalem?

That's why Jesus chose another apostle from among the new converts who has knowledge about the scriptures much more than all his Jewish disciples and also a multi lingual that is the Apostle Paul {Act 9:15; Romans 1:5; Galatians 2:7} Paul must be under the apostles in Jerusalem so whatever he is doing in all the places he travel to as a missionary he must report back to the twelve apostles in Jerusalem {Act 15:2; Galatians 2:1} this is necessary because Christ Jesus wanted all his disciples globally to have the same line of thought in their teachings! John 17:20-23

So the question to ask ourselves is:

Who appointed these so called apostles of today and who preached, taught and baptized them?

We all knew how Jesus established his group in the first century and made sure they're united in their teachings so where did these ones come from?

abumereose:
One may think that I am an iconoclast because of the issue I am about to broach. But I am not. I am only being meticulous and fearful for myself and others, on how to really please GOD.
The most disturbing problem and question I think we should be concerned about, is the question of present-day dominance of church denominationalism. All that is obtainable today is, a multiplicity of churches in societies. There is a church after every count of 4 to 5 houses in a street, churches in every football field and, in every classrooms on campuses, and churches in residential homes.
Is church denomination a real christian thing? Can it be justified? What are the motives for this indiscriminate planting of churches? Is Bible the author of this chasm?(1 Chor 1:10,12-13. Rom 16:17, Eph 4:4-5) ? Is GOD happy with it? Has this any effect on the Church's outlook and effectiveness? These are questions that cannot be, in any way, answered in favour of this appalling trend.
If we are to draw inspiration from the early Church,we are to closely look at how it was. All that could be, was,' the Church in Ephesus',' the Church in Rome', and so on. It would have been possible for the early churche to convene in one place to worship, if it wasn't for distance barrier and other communication problems . If the early church,that we so much look up to, were not divided, then, why are we? Or did Paul or Peter ever, in any way, emphasized division? Is church a one man thing? The obvious answer to these questions is a capital 'NO'.
As result of this divisionist tradition, we now have many, competing and conflicting doctrines. Christians have left their primary task of soul-winning, to that of struggle for members to fill their churches - come to my church rather than come to Jesus - and GOD is not pleased by this practice.
The thrust of my theses is that, a 'United Church', void of strife, subdued competition, and material cravings, is a feasible enterprise.

Jesus Christ has just one group or organization Satan is behind different religions claiming they are for the same God yet contradicting themselves in teachings and doctrines Jesus' disciples have the same line of thought when it comes to teaching and doctrine! John 17:22; 1Corinthians 1:10

So if anyone comes claiming he or she is one of us but not ready to stick to the oneness in thought we must not talk to him, we must not pray with him and we must not eat with him! Romans 16:17; 2John 1:10-11

Aemmyjah:
If your wife will want to sleep with a dog, it's OK for you both Shikena

When Jehovah's Witnesses knock on their door to TEACH them the way of holiness they will say they have their own religion.
He doesn't understand what love really means to him love means sex.

The Greek had four different words used for one word LOVE:

STORGE – empathy bond.
PHILIA – friend bond.
EROS – romantic love.
AGAPE – unconditional "God" love.

This is Greek philosophical teaching about the word love but then it doesn't mean relationship because that has to do with a little knowledge of the one you want to go into a relationship with so their must be boundaries!

MiddleDimension:
Also, Paul vehemently disagrees with you that you should divorce any of your wives when you became born again.
1Cor 7 vs 20
''Each of you SHOULD REMAIN AS YOU WERE WHEN YOU ACCEPTED GOD'S CALL. IF YOU ARE A SLAVE REMAIN A SLAVE, IF YOU ARE UNCIRCUMCISED, REMAIN UNCIRCUMSIZED, IF YOU HAVE MORE THAN ONE WIFE, MAINTAIN IT THAT WAY''
The in Galatians 1 vs 8-12, he said: if anyone teaches you anything different (like you have believed many of your ignorant pastors tell you to divorce one wife), let him be accursed!
@Paxonel,
@DTruthSeeker calls this response of mine fraudulent. What do you think?

.

MiddleDimension:
There no where christ said the first woman is the only and true wife. And no, the second or anyother wife is mot an 'intruder'! It is important what you believe about a thing, is in line with the mind of your God concerning that thing; that is why in Acts of Apostles 10, god told Peter, do not call unclean what I have made clean! You are suppose to be like God himself, when it comes your perspective on things, afterall, you are partakers of devine nature 2 Peter 1:4. If you are not like your god in your perspective of things, then you will be sinning!

As far as God is concerned and can be seen in the bible, Polygamy is not only right for the christian, God also blesses it!

He told David ''I gave you your master's wives unto your bosom...'' 2 sam 23 vs 8.

To show to you he blesses polygamy, the son of Rachel, was the one who brought Jacob succur at the time of trouble! Joseph solution to the famine Jacob and his entire famiky would have suffered.

and juat incase you feel Rachel was suppose to be the first wife since Jacob originally intendes to marry her over Leah, well, I will let you know that God also BLESSED Leah's marriage to Jacob by choosing her offspring to be the line through which Jeaus was going to be descended. The Bible says in Luke ''Blessed is the womb that bore you, the breast that suckled you...'' Luke 11: 27-28

Ken4Christ:
It doesn't change the fact that their faith is needed to receive miracles from God.

That's why i said they will come to your church with faith so there's no reason asking them for faith again!

Ken4Christ:
Jesus couldn't perform miracles in his own town because they didn't have faith.
And he told most of the people who received healing in his days, 'your faith has made you whole'.

The faith needed is to leave their homes and go in search of Jesus once someone leaves his house and start searching for Jesus it's stupid to think such a person doesn't have faith.

It's FAITH that made them leave their homes to start looking for Jesus!

.

Ken4Christ:
If you bring him to me and he has faith, he will be cured. I am not empty like you. I have God's anointing upon my life.

So they must have faith before the curing shey?
LIAR! the followers of Jesus never asked them for faith before curing people in Jesus name.

Meanwhile Yinka Ayefele has been praising your useless god for decades go and cure him!

Emusan:
Where is the trouble?
Trinity didn't appear in the Bible.
Do you have problem with that?

It's your problem because the commentator wants to talk about what is WRITTEN in the Bible but you're trying to use what is not found in the Bible to validate your beliefs!

Aemmyjah:
Besides, there's nothing pagan in the origin of rings
It began as a fashion then part of marriage in line with payment of dowries

Some people will just bring out foolish arguments without thinking or verification of what they argue about.
What envy cannot do does not exist

Ọmọ he just want to prove that since people use rings during weddings they're CELEBRATING the rings.

Emusan:
This is very laughable.

Do you even understand yourself?

I'm celebrating MY BIRTHDAY

On the other hand, you're using WEDDING RING for WEDDING CELEBRATION

And the funny part is that WEDDING RING is considered essential part of WEDDING ceremony which means without Wedding ring the CELEBRATION ISN'T COMPLETE

Well, to agree that Pagan INVENTED MANY THINGS that you use today shows you can't detached yourself from Pagan.

Meanwhile, you people don't even understand the meaning of the word PAGAN.

OK nah!

Dsimmer:
The regional federalism system left with Nigeria was the biggest highlight of Nigeria which accelerated a lot of development in Nigeria. The system was later destroyed by Nigerians, the Easterners to be precise.
Or are they the herdsmen?
Or the politicians who can't ensure more industrialization and more basic amenities.
Heck, the privatisation of Nigeria property was done in shambles by previous administration. Especially the useless electricity distribution companies.

Ọmọ Ethiopia, China and Russia fought not to allow anyone dictate to them how they will rule themselves, are these people lacking behind?

Emusan:
You know they are all fake yet you'll be demanding for a place of worship of someone you already knew not a jws

Good!

The question reveals what we have in our mind:

There is no Christian organization apart from Jehovah's Witnesses but if anyone wants to contest that let them mention the name of their church then we can start by considering how far they're able to meet up with the work Jesus assigned to his disciples!

Emusan:
Before I answer your question, let me ask you this: What do you understand by the term Trinity?

See trouble!

Father and Son are inside the Bible but where is TRINITY written in the Bible?

Aemmyjah:
Ask him o

He doesn't know the difference between using something and CELEBRATING something.

There are so many things invented by unbelievers that God's people are using since it's part of what God created but CELEBRATING what they invented is a different thing totally!

Ken4Christ:
Ok. Perform miracles. Is miracles not among the things Jesus said we should do?

Who are those performing the original i know lots of blind, lame and paralyzed people in fact Yinka Ayefele has been singing and praising their gods for decades why can't they cure him?

Emusan:
Where did he tell you he is looking for something in another church? What you posted here can be just observations of what is happening around him or you want him to be lying liar like you who will pretend you don't know True Christians do evangelism. He already said he is a jws so why should he need help from jws again?
Again, what do you understand by the term PIMO?

JWs don't look at religions around us with admiration because we know they're all fake so if he's admiring other religions then he's not a JW!

Dsimmer:
They're the ones who destroyed Nigeria federalism or are the useless bandits and herdsmen or are the rogue politicians who couldn't do their duties of ensuring more industrialization and basic amenities?

They set up a system of government that's not in tune with African culture and insisted our people must continue practicing it otherwise they will be sanctioned by so doing they keep monitoring the progress of African nations.

Guy it's like you don't know the deeper secrets of politics introduced to Africans!

Emusan:
Just as none of God's servant used a wedding ring which is a pagan practice.

So who is CELEBRATING a wedding ring?

Or who invited you to celebrate a wedding ring?

Emusan:
Story!
The fact is he is a JWS which means you know his religion now. So address his points because your earlier point was that he should be avoided since you don't know his religion.
Meanwhile, you didn't answer my question, where was Jesus mentioned PERFORMANCES in that Matt 7:24-27?

So he's a JW and what is he looking for in other churches?

Sand2022:
I do love the way the church, along with The Chosen church, Mountain of Fire dress and groom. Although they do go to extreme, but it's good news that they don't go along with popular views. How does your church make that happen?

Do you enforce a fine or excommunicate members who don't dress as your church teach or what? Why do many of your members stick to that value?

Do you excommunicate and shun like JWs?

Do your church view yours as the only true church and that other church will head for hell fire if they don't follow the teachings of your leader?

If I become a member, can I hold another theological view apart from what your leader teach?

How will I be viewed if I'm your member and also attend Christ Embassy, Redeem etc? So do you view other men of God as true men of God or only those in your church?

I will ask more, let's start from there. If possible, give a link to your website where the specific questions above are answered.

Guy, we don't have business with attention seekers so if he wants help from JWs let him come out plainly and ask but first he must tell us the church he's attending presently apart from that ọmọ nothing for him!

It's a pagan tradition that's why none of God's servants participated in the celebration!
