Don't JWs feel they are special?
GB teachers their people the are specially positioned to inherit other people's land, houses, cars, planes etc. Holy stealing like Antichristian's Mohammed's grin grin
We are special - pentecostal family.

Do you think Kumuyi acknowledge your Papa? cheesy
Well we know the righteous will inherit the earth {Matthew 5:5 compare to Psalms 37:29} and since you people say you're going to heaven it's reasonable to conclude that those inheriting the earth will enjoy whatever is on the planet nah! smiley

Olodo....
Jer 7:13 is about sacrificing human on altar
But God used fire to do that.
So the people burnt to death won't be torment before they got burnt to ashes cheesy grin grin
As usual you lack simple comprehension.
Your initial point is that God can't torment people forever with fire but if God can use fire to destroyed a whole city, why can't God torment people with it?
That's where you left your brain.
To condemned is different from enlighten.
Jesus elaborates more on Moses teachings.
Jesus clarified issues with old prophets teachings.
God has a program and that is for OBEDIENT humans to enjoy life to the fullest on this planet {Genesis 1:28} rebellious humans will become a menace on the planet so they will die and return to non-existence {Genesis 2:17} but Adam rebelled before giving birth to a child so all his descendants inherited sin and death from him! Romans 5:12
God has no business with evildoers all He will do to them is eviction and that's to keep the planet safe for obedient mankind not keeping them somewhere to be tormented! smiley
Emusan:
So you don't know what you're saying.
Besides, Eccl 9:5-10 is against you but I know you'll still change mouth.
Eccl 9:5 "For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing; they have no further reward, and even their name is forgotten."
1. The dead has no further reward but you believe after you died Jehovah will reward you.
2. Their names are forgotten but you believe those who died and will be resurrected their names are in Jehovah memory. cheesy grin cheesy grin cheesy ;DWhich side are you?
The dead has no business with God but out of His underserved kindness (grace) he made a provision for good people to be recalled {Job 14:13-15} but as for evildoers Ecclesiastes 9:6 applies to them! Psalms 9:17 smiley

paxonel:
Acts 1:10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
Acts 1:11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
Jesus' resurrection and exist was secretive, only his faithful disciples saw the materialized spirit body ascending to heaven.
So in like manner when Jesus returns only his faithful disciples will know and that will be through the signs he foretold! Matthew 24:3-14

His disciples asked him "what will be the sign of your presence and the conclusion of system of things?" {Matthew 24:3} this is because when Jesus leaves this planet he will return to his spirit life so he can't be seen physically anymore but his presence will be felt because he will continue the works he established in the first century so faithful people throughout the earth will notice that someone powerful is working but invisible only his works will be seen! smiley

Emusan:
But my point is God used fire on people
So why do you think the same God can't torment people with fire?
Naaaaaaaaaaaaa He destroyed that city not just humans that's what He meant @ Jeremiah 7:31. He said tormenting humans (alive) in fire has not come into His heart. The inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed along with all their properties, farmlands and domestic animals. So thinking God will now sustain humans in torment after death has destroyed their bodies is unscriptural! smiley
Emusan:
Of course the only twisting of jws, if it's not parable it will be figurative grin cheesy grin cheesy grin

So your Jer 7:31 doesn't apply here then.
because no where in Jer 7:31 that says God won't torment people with fire. But here is a direct statement from Jesus about torment with fire.
Matthew 13:50 "and will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
Was Jesus talking about the living or non existence being?
There's nowhere in the Old Testament that say those destroyed are somewhere being tormented after death so Jesus was teaching in parables. At death the body (bones) of the dead routine in the grave so they can't possibly gnash teeth (bone)

Shamelessness won't kill you!

So it's the names of people who never perform miracles that matters when you're asked to mention the name of one gentile that performed miracles shey?

Well Paul is simply saying both Jews and none Jews have a part to play in pure worship but as for miraculous works it's reserved for only the Israelites! Matthew 15:24 smiley

There are Jews in Africa. They just don't believe in spreading their religion.
Those are the faithless Israelites claiming Jews!

According to God's word the Jews will take pure worship throughout the earth so that the people of other nations will attach themselves to the Jews for pure worship! Zechariah 8:23

But then the Christ will come after Elijah has prepared and announced his presence in their midst {Malachi 4:5 compare to Luke 1:17} most Jews will be confused because the message Elijah and the Christ will bring will not go down well with many Jews! Malachi 4:6 compare to Matthew 10:34-35

That's exactly what happened! Most Jews in the first century turned their back on the Christ {John 1:11; 9:22; Act 4:18; 5:28} that's how they lost the privilege of being the pioneers of pure worship and God formed another nation through different races that believe in the Christ {Matthew 3:9 compare to Matthew 21:34} and Jerusalem was condemned! Matthew 23:37-38

So they have nothing to preach or teach since the God of Abraham never asked them to go preaching to other nations, it's the Christ that established preaching and teaching campaign about God's Kingdom {Matthew 28:18-20} that is why Jesus' matter is what is heard globally! Act 1:8

When humans carry weapons against one another for peace keeping unintelligent people like you concludes they've done something worthwhile but wise people knows it's incomplete if the peacekeepers aren't getting to the root cause which is the heart of those involved. God's organization is uprooting the cause of violence by preaching zealously and industriously teaching those involved so that no matter what happens each person resolved in his heart never to raise weapons against anyone again {Isaiah 2:4} the organizations you're talking about only act on what they're seeing while God's organization is working on the things unseen: Hearts of men!

Your denial of God's existence is your own lot it has nothing to do with those having faith in the one whose works they're seeing just as you and your professors in Atheism can't point to gravity yet you teach it among yourselves! wink

SeniorMan715:
When birds wake up in the morning, they often chirp for a while and then fly off in search of food. In the evening, they return to their roosts, chirp a little more, and go to sleep. In certain seasons they mate, lay eggs, and raise their young. Other animals follow a similarly predictable pattern. We humans are different. True, we eat, sleep, and reproduce, but most of us are not content with just those things. We want to know why we are here. We seek meaning in our lives. We also desire a hope for the future. These deeper needs point to a quality that is unique to humankind​spirituality, or the need and capacity for spiritual things.
This is faith strengthening!
So when God said:
"let us make man in our own image" Genesis 1:26
It means we must be different from all other creatures on the planet that are living on mere instinct.
Thank you SeniorMan715 i'll hard this to my treasure chest!
Faith is not a possession of all people {2 Thessalonians 3:2} so when you speak about faith to anyone you need to know what such a person desires to find out otherwise your pearls will be trashed. Matthew 7:6
Christianity Etc › Re: Why Do Many People Hate Deeper Life by MaxInDHouse(m): 3:41am On May 15, 2023
Your problem is misconception!

Apostle Paul's letter is clear, sin made us all imperfect so we make mistakes several times {James 3:2} due to our inherited sin {Proverbs 24:16} but when imperfection makes us to sin we shouldn't justify it, God will speak to us through one of our brothers {Matthew 18:15} trying to justify our error means we aren't repentant but whether you're a believer or not you're still a sinner due to Adamic sin that's why you will make mistakes, grow old, get sick and die because that's the wages of sin! Romans 6:23
A real believer has the ransom sacrifice of Christ Jesus to redeem him so even though he dies Jesus will bring him back to life in God's Kingdom! John 11:25

FreedomfromtheT:
Here you are again with your erroneous interpretation of the Scriptures to justify your sinfulness while claiming to be a Christian.
Romans 7:15-25 Is a vivid description of the unsaved religious person still struggling with sin.
Earlier in Romans 6:1,2, the same Paul said emphatically that a genuinely saved Christian cannot continue in sin and expect the grace of God to abound.
In James 3:2 that you quoted, the Apostle James was admonishing Christians especially the leaders to be careful because if not, they will sin with their mouths. You need to read the entire chapter 3 of James to see that Apostle James was talking about the relationship between the state of the heart and what we say with our mouths. He was not justifying malice, envying and strife the heart that leads to cursing and bitter outbursts. Those are characteristics of the unsaved and should not be associated with the saints.
You can see that you Jehovah's witnesses and other unsaved religious sinners can't teach experiencial salvation and purity of life because you can't give what you don't have.
Please come to Christ today and get saved before you die.
Thank you.

kkins25:
How can good exist without knowing what evil is?
He is Holy.
Another word for HOLY is PURE it's impossible for a person with pure heart to think of evil but when God create humans he gave them freewill and warned them of just one thing that can make them impure in thought:

They shouldn't try to set standards for their fellow humans that belongs only to our Creator who is PURE in everything! Genesis 2:17

Satan has lived long before the creation of humans and he wanted to rule by all means that's why he schemed to remove God from the scene so he can become the ruler over mankind! Genesis 3:4-5

He knew it's a big challenge for God who claimed that everything He created was PERFECT {Genesis 1:31} if God destroys Satan and the two rebels instantly the question still remains: Can God step aside for some time for humans to rule themselves without His intervention? After all He claim all His works are perfect. So God promised to destroy Satan after this case has been resolved {Genesis 3:15} but then time is needed for humans to prove that they can successfully rule themselves independently of God's standard.

History has proved that man can't rule over man successfully {Ecclesiastes 8:9}
WHY? Because it will take a long time before we can become HOLY (PURE in heart) like our heavenly father, Jesus has been with God even before any other creature so he knows that his father is the EPITOME of GOODNESS {Luke 18:19} He is the one who has no evil in His thought that's why Jesus said:

“Most truly I say to you, the Son cannot do a single thing of his own initiative, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things that One does, these things the Son does also in like manner" John 5:19

This is what the man called God's Son said {Matthew 16:16} showing that it's exactly what he copied from his father that made him pure in heart too!
