Christianity Etc › Re: The Biblical Jesus' Character, A Failed Attempt To Reconcile Stories by MaxInDHouse(m): 4:44am On Oct 31, 2023
Melchizedek: King during the time of Abraham who received a tenth part of what Abraham got from the spoils of war. His genealogy wasn't mentioned yet Abraham paid him tithe.

Christ: Prince of Peace whose teachings has brought peace among people from different geographical locations in the first century so that they're able to cohabit and worship like a family. Christ's genealogy was unknown since his mother wasn't impregnated by any man.


Context

The laws Israelites were obeying to pay tithes says only the descendants of Levi should receive it from their brothers (other Israelites) but Abraham paid the first tithe to someone who is not a Levite so the priesthood does not necessarily have to be in line with Levites since Abraham himself paid tithe to another priest who is greater than Abraham the great grandfather of Levi {Hebrews 7:4-10} therefore if the priesthood and tithing never started with Levitical lineage Christians aren't mandated to continue paying tithes through the Levitical priesthood anymore because the priesthood has changed and the service also has changed! Hebrews 7:11-12

You were not there with the invented Jesus christ to know what he meant. So how can you grasp who the real Jesus was when Isreal was a war zone at that time with these kinds of men walking about. Even one of his diciples was a zealot. There are historical records that extremists among the Jewish Zealots turned to terrorism and assassination and became known as Sicarii (Greek sikarioi, “dagger men”). They frequented public places with hidden daggers to strike down persons friendly to the Roman empire occupying their land Israel 2000 years ago] https://www.britannica.com/topic/Zealot

The task of evangelism was given to all of us. You must not be a pastor or a priest to do so.

The way you live your life should attract people to God. A little act of kindness tells and sends a message to the heart of people. No matter who you are, let your purpose be to announce the good news.

Telling others about what Jesus has done for them is one of the most important things we can do with our time. We have been given the greatest gift of all—eternal life with God. But that gift is also freely available to the rest of the world.

So, take some time today to pray for those in your life who do not know the hope that Jesus gives. Pray for their salvation and also for the strength you need to share the good news.

I expected someone to answer the question i raised on this topic:

Why did God/Moses/angel that led Israelites through the wilderness loitering around for 40 years instead of just 40 days never tender a letter of apology?

The answer to this question is very important because for the nations in Canaan back then to believe that the Almighty God is with the Israelites someone needs to explain to them why the God who led them out of Egypt with lots of supernatural signs failed to lead them safely to the promised land within just 40 day but the generation that left Egypt joyfully in anticipation of settling in Canaan with their families all perished on the journey due to the delay only for their descendants to enter the land except Joshua and Caleb.


Today the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses have successfully gathered millions of people throughout the earth and used what Jesus taught them to settle their disparities peacefully among themselves, divert their resources into production of food and information materials, erased the making buying selling and usage of weapons and vow never to raise weapons against anyone! Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3
This is so obvious to everyone that throughout the earth people from different races now view Jehovah's Witnesses like one tribe as if we are speaking the same language {Zephaniah 3:9} even though critics know the Jehovah's Witnesses are people from different geographical locations they ask us questions as if we must all think alike {John 17:22} just say "i am one of Jehovah's Witnesses" and see them asking questions about what happened to our brothers in countries far away! Matthew 5:14-16

Surely the GOVERNING BODY has done the GREATEST WORK Jesus said his disciples will do if they put what he taught them to good use! John 14:12

I am also asking.
There is a lot wrong with the foundation itself.

First of all the word "CHURCH" according to the scriptures doesn't mean a building rather it is a group of worshipers so if those meeting together for worship don't know that then it's difficult to start telling them how to dress to a place where the name has been misplaced for what supposed to be a congregation of worshipers instead of building!
Christianity Etc › Re: ******************************* by MaxInDHouse(m): 8:30pm On Oct 29, 2023
When common sense is missing!

In a book you read about a man saying he did not bring peace but sword so you concluded that he must be responsible for killing but the same person commanded his disciples never to raise weapons against anyone and there is no record of his disciples fighting people with swords.
All these is RECORDED in the same book!

How come an intelligent person failed to grasp that the man in question never meant physical sword is what really baffles me. undecided

You are the one so dumb, if not you should able to knock on people's door and tell the what your master Jesus you so believe in has told you. Next time you knock on people's doors tell them the truth as you master Jesus has told you that [you did not come to bring peace, but a sword].
Also [tell them to sell their cloak and buy a sword] like your master Jesus has told you.
There you go again reading without grasping!

@ Matthew chapter 10 and Luke chapter 22

In those verses you quoted Jesus was talking to his own disciples not preaching to strangers and the sword he told them to buy isn't physical swords otherwise it would have been on record that Jesus disciples also killed people! smiley
Christianity Etc › Re: When Did Yahweh Becomes The God Of The Entire World? by MaxInDHouse(m): 6:44pm On Oct 29, 2023
There are lots of powerful beings in the spirit realm the highest authority there is YAHWEH.

To know the truth of this matter please ask all the other religions to tell you the origin of this planet and how humans came to be the most intelligent creature on it.

Of course other deities lied to their worshipers that's one secret Yahweh used the Bible to expose. Yahweh promised that His name will be heard throughout this planet but His own worshipers won't have to force the name on others rather it's Yahweh's active force (Holy Spirit) that will be sent to energize His worshipers so that the will take the message to the whole world. Act 1:8

The head of all rebellious spirits is battle prepared to tarnish the image of Yahweh by initiating false religions in the name of Yahweh and His messengers then go about forcing false religions on people so that by the time you hear of the name "YAHWEH" you will feel irritated by the activities of false religionists using His name to commit atrocities.

So YAHWEH is the one and only true God and if you will like to know why i am Maximus one of Jehovah's Witnesses please feel free to ask me any question that may come into your mind.

May you have PEACE!

Christianity Etc › Re: Religion Vs Christianity by MaxInDHouse(m):
Unbreakable26:
Am always confused about the difference between religion and Christianity... Please can somebody explain it to me so that I will understand it better. Thanks
RELIGION:
Belief in a spiritual or metaphysical reality (often including at least one deity), accompanied by practices or rituals pertaining to the belief.

CHRISTIANITY:
An Abrahamic religion originating from the community of the followers of Jesus Christ.

The above two are dictionary's definitions but while both are simply stated Christianity has to do with an assignment a first century Jewish young man called Jesus of Nazareth gave his disciples:

"Go, therefore, and make disciples of people of all the nations" Matthew 28:19

He also said in another verse

"But you will receive power when the holy spirit comes upon you, and you will be witnesses of me in Jerusalem, in all Ju·deʹa and Sa·marʹi·a, and to the most distant part of the earth.” Act 1:8


Surely Christianity is also a religion just like all others.

But what makes this religion stand out totally as different from all the others?

About the difference that will be obvious to all the inhabitants of the earth Jesus of Nazareth said:

“You are the light of the world. A city cannot be hid when located on a mountain. People light a lamp and set it, not under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it shines on all those in the house. Likewise, let your light shine before men, so that they may see your fine works and give glory to your Father who is in the heavens" Matthew 5:14-16

As the founder of this religion Jesus was called the "Prince of Peace" centuries before his birth {Isaiah 9:6} God's word foretold a time when people from all geographical locations on this planet will begin to consider the words of the God of Abraham {Isaiah 2:2} they will start inviting one another to assemble as one so that they can understand the words of counseling stated in the books written by the Israelites {Isaiah 2:3} after getting the clear understanding of this writings they will use what they found in it to settle all their disparities peacefully among themselves, divert their resources into production of food and information materials, erased the making, buying, selling and usage of weapons and vow never to raise weapons against anyone again! Isaiah 2:4

This prophecy was repeated by another Jewish prophet called Micah {Micah 4:1-3} this means that the disciples of Jesus will become one big and happy family of peace loving worshipers since they're followers of the Prince of Peace.
So that's what the preaching and teaching Jesus established in the first century is all about.

But there is another powerful spirit being who is in the hidden: Satan the devil!
This powerful spirit is the person behind all the other religions on this planet {Revelations 12:9} his aim is to rule over the earth {John 14:30; 2Corinthians 4:4; 1John 5:19} God has set a time when this wicked spirit will be totally exterminated {Genesis 3:15} so out of spite Satan wanted all humans to go down with him so he is initiating one religion after another just in case the Prince of Peace who will spoil his work should arrive mankind will be totally lost as to countless religions that will be on ground.

Well he succeeded in multiplying false religions all in the name of Jesus {Matthew 13:25} but Jesus called all faithful humans out of the false religions claiming Christians {Revelations 18:4} and the true God began calling His faithful worshipers by another group name! Isaiah 65:15

Will you like to know the name of the one and only organization that's practicing pure worship today? smiley

Christianity Etc › Re: Fasting Takes You Higher by MaxInDHouse(m): 6:21am On Oct 29, 2023
Fasting is a compulsion in the house of faith but ironically it's not just about hunger strike where you will starve yourself for no purpose.
So what is FASTING from God's viewpoint?

If you remember anyone who has wronged you past or present and you feel really hurt can you forgive such a person and take the initiative to make peace? Matthew 5:23; 18:15 compare to Isaiah 58:6

What about the money you found beside the road that the real owner is crying bitterfly for the loss? Are you willing to return it even though it means a lot to you? Isaiah 58:6

What about illicit sexual conduct? Are you willing to format the thought and words that opposite sex passed to you through his or her advances? Matthew 5:28 compare to Job 31:1

This are areas you need to work on not just starving yourself hypocritically while engaging in these things? Isaiah 58:1-7


God bless you and may you have PEACE!
Christianity Etc › Re: Why Jehovah's Witnesses's Governing Body Does Not Apologize For Their mistakes by MaxInDHouse(m): 5:24am On Oct 29, 2023
MaxInDHouse:
I purposely ignored this thread asking the GB to apologize for mistakes while leading God's people.

Why not present the letter of apology from either Moses or the angel that lead God's people through the wilderness for over 40 years on a journey that supposed to last for just 40 days?

The enemies of God's people back then also had the same feelings, they thought Israelites spent 40 years in the wilderness loitering around means there is no special God with them?

So the question to ask faithless miscreants:

Was Moses God's prophet?
Were Israelites God's people?
Why did Moses lead them on such a journey?
Was God with them during those days?
Who is to blame for their long journey?

Failure to address this means the GB doesn't have to apologize to anybody as long as they are able to lead God's people to the promised land which is the fulfilment of what God promised in the Bible book of Isaiah 2:2-4 and Micah 4:1-3

And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.Isaiah 2:2-4



Of all the religions on this planet claiming they are worshipers of the God of Abraham only the organization of Jehovah's Witnesses fulfilled this prophecy today just as hundreds of nations tried to settle in the land of Canaan only for the Israelites to be the only nation God backed.

So if anyone is complaining about the trials the Israelites faced on their way to the promised land let him or her present the nation that got the land of Canaan back then that's the one and only evidence of God's backing just as the fulfilment of Isaiah 2:2-4 is the one and only evidence that the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob is backing any religious organization today!
