In Judaism souls do not need to be saved, that's a pagan christian idea from the third century.The Scriptures explicitly state that the forgiveness of sin is achieved through sincere repentance. This teaching is repeated many times throughout the Hebrew Scriptures in a clear and unambiguous manner (Deuteronomy 30:1-10, Ezekiel 18:21-23,27,28,31,32, 33:11,14-16,19, Isaiah 1:16-18, 55:7, Hosea 14:2-10, Jonah 3:10, Micah 6:7,8, Psalm 51:19)[9]. These passages directly address the issue of forgiveness from sin, yet they make no mention of a blood offering. Some of these passages[10] actually preclude the requirement of a blood offering as a necessary component in the process of forgiveness from sin. Yet on the basis of the misinterpretation of one solitary verse (Leviticus 17:11)[11] from a passage that does not directly address the issue of forgiveness from sin at all, Christianity teaches that repentance cannot achieve atonement without a blood offering! All of the major theological principles of Judaism are explicitly spelled out in the Bible. The adherents of Judaism do not need to rely on anyone’s Scriptural interpretations when it comes to the fundamentals of the faith.

In the following paragraphs I will present the foundational Jewish beliefs concerning the key issues that stand between Judaism and Christianity (worship of God, atonement from sin, and the advent of the Messiah). I will also demonstrate how these beliefs are supported by the Biblical text.

Our devotion is directed to the God who spoke to us at Sinai and to Him alone. This core belief of Judaism is clearly stated in Exodus 20:1, 2. The passage records how God told the people: “I am the Lord your God who took you out of the land of Egypt from the house of bondage, you shall not recognize other gods before me”. This concept is repeated in Deuteronomy 4:35, where Moses reminds us: “You have been shown in order that you know that the Lord, He is the God there is none beside Him.”

Jews believe that God requires sincere repentance for the forgiveness of sin. This fundamental doctrine is plainly stated by the prophets. Isaiah taught: “Let the wicked one forsake his way and the iniquitous man his thoughts, let him return to the Lord and He will show him mercy, to our God for He is abundantly forgiving” (Isaiah 55:7). Ezekiel passes on the word of God: “As for the wicked one, if he repents from all his sins that he has committed, and he observes all My decrees and practices justice and righteousness, he shall surely live, he shall not die. All his transgressions that he has committed will not be remembered against him…” (Ezekiel 18:21, 22).

All of Judaism’s core beliefs about the Messiah and the Messianic age are clearly expressed in the Jewish Scriptures.

Keep on speaking and behaving in such a way as those do who are going to be judged by the law of a free people. 13 For the one who does not practice mercy will have his judgment without mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment. Go, then, and learn what this means: ‘I want mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came to call, not righteous people, but sinners.” For the undeserved kindness of God has been manifested, bringing salvation to all sorts of people. 12 It trains us to reject ungodliness and worldly desires and to live with soundness of mind and righteousness and godly devotion amid this present system of things, 13 while we wait for the happy hope and glorious manifestation of the great God and of our Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to set us free from every sort of lawlessness and to cleanse for himself a people who are his own special possession, zealous for fine works. Keep on speaking these things and exhorting and reproving with full authority. Do not let anyone look down on you.
Does your God equally ask you to do all of the above as captured from your darling NWT

MindHacker9009:
But your christianity was founded on Judaism but Judaism does not ask Jewish women to go into the tomb on the third day with anointing oil but your christianity is based on some Jewish women going into the tomb on the third day with anointing oil and a FAKE resurrection story and this story is what makes your christianity the BESTEST religion to you than Judaism that is now exposing all the FAKE stories in christianity.
Thank GOD for TRUE Judaism.

Accept them as members or not is not my problem. What you have been running away from is the Pharisees and hypocrisy mentality that runs deep with the organization you belong and you by extension. After all you said it that there are many hypocrites in your midst and you look your Jehovah’s witnesses brothers and sisters with suspicious eye. You are very much one of them
When you go to your field service and opened Mathew 6:9,10 to preach about God's kingdom and equally critic the belief of the householders, do you believe they are worshiping the same God with you? When you read to their ear..... "Our Father" is it the same God? Oya start peddling your insanities and madness over it
You know the person said yes EMPHATICALLY and increased your insanities, asiere and madness peddling over the YES
And I showed you how you indeed worship same God with them. Oya deny am and lie over it again paapaa
You are the one peddling insanities, madness,, asiere over what is SANE in the first place
You are obsessed with those you call faithless miscreants and equally obsessed with peddling faithless miscreants whenever they discuss topics having to do with your religious organization. Even when you are not called to join the thread you must peddle your faithless miscreants over it . Na your mode of operations be that. You have three monikers on this platform with post of over 60,000 with bulk of it based on responding to people that are good for nothing and workers of LAWLESSNESS. . That is the definition of OBSESSION.
I don't need that humility that is covered with SUBSERVIENT and to be yes men to men that are error prone not inspired and made mistakes in terms of organisation direction and doctrines. Read your Bible from today till tomorrow, you will never see one scriptures that states you have to be a member of a Christian religious denominations to worship God. The fact you said I have contributed towards your activities tells me I am good for many things outside your religious organization despite not within it after all it goes against your words that I am good for nothing. Apply your intelligence and reason am.
I know my response to you don't sit well with you at all. I gave you no place to hide, the reason you have to abandon topics and discussion and go after the person behind the post. What I do here is 100% within my jurisdiction to decide . Since 99.9 of my post is about your religious organization, it is what I choose to do. You are not the creator of nairaland and you are not a moderator here. You can peddle o ma se oooo till tomorrow over it. It will not change the fact that. Those you call good for nothing are good for many things outside your religious organization that what you call irrelevant are indeed relevant. Get those words into your military intelligence that wants to go back drowning

bobestman:
LOL. Go and do another research. After j was created it was added to suit you guys. Check the name in hebrew

bobestman:
In the first scripture the name used was Yahusha which means God's salvation. Some say Yahshua. But the name Jesus has no meaning in any language on earth. Every name has meaning but jesus has none. Research it. Iesous it was stolen from means hail zeus. Even the created isreal has nothing to do with that name. It is a roman creation. You ppl don't know what you are calling. Jesus is another character the acts of hebrew messiah was credited to. I stick with truth and original. You stick with what you don't know. If you don't have knowledge of the truth you will perish.

AbuAeesha:
Why not be unbiase and at least quote the whole verse. FYA

اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْ اَهْلِ الْكِتٰبِ وَ الْمُشْرِكِيْنَ فِيْ نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ خٰلِدِيْن فِيْهَا ؕ اُولٰٓئِكَ هُمْ شَرُّ الْبَرِيَّةِ ؕ
Indeed, they who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture and the polytheists(idolaters) will be in the fire of Hell, abiding eternally therein. Those are the worst of creatures.
[QS. Al-Bayyina: Verse 6]
it clearly says those who disbelieve (in God) and idolaters.
Will idolaters that didn't repent also make heaven according to the Christan scripture?

brocab:
James says that saving faith is proven to those who observe our lives by what we do, not based on what we say.
If a person's actions do not display a changed life for Jesus Christ, then his claim to be faithful to the Lord is dead.
I don't here the JW's preach about Christ very often, matter of fact: very little: your main focus is upon Jehovah, the Watchtower only witnesses in Jehovah's name: not in Jesus Name: so who's faith do you serve JW? does it belong to the Buddhists, Jews, Hindus and Muslims-all these had refused Jesus: you believe these are faithful members in their midst is not producing fine WORKS.
Where is your faith and works for Christ: that not even you preach His Name to the nations:
You belong to a organisation called the Watchtower, where in fact it's known to the public as a cult: so the name watchtower only means something to their members: not the nations, it is a proven fact the Watchtower refuses Christ and replaced Him with Jehovah: calling on Jehovah's name to save you and serve.
Where is your faith JW obviously not in Jesus-do you honestly believe your faith is in Christ heart soul and mind: where it is a fact you serve another, not Jesus: you put all your faith in Jehovah.We don't have two masters: God gave all His authority to Jesus-you either hate the one or love the other. so who have you given your faith to JW?

brocab:
There were heaps of unwilling pedestrians on the Streets when Jesus preached: the Pharisees the lawyers and the scribes questioned Jesus every time they listened to Jesus preach..
If you were to read the scriptures yourself you would know there were unwilling people fronting Jesus every chance they could..
The Pharisees planned to destroy Jesus: while Jesus spoke His Word: eventually they crucified Him-now these were unwillingly priest who stood their ground against Jesus.

Heroicvic:
My point exactly
Religion don't want you thinking on some issue
They just term it mysterious or supernatural

achorladey:
The above tells me improvement of your military intelligence from what it used to be as it drowned too deep one would think it will be difficult to retrieve . You can stop peddling the pains of your intelligence since it is getting better

jaephoenix:
JW is filled with deception and lies

jaephoenix:

One of your mediator on earth and channel of God communication to you that is drunk Anthony Morris has been missing in action.

RussellRutherfo:
I managed to pass through school same way your scam egyptologist founder, Russell did selling fake miracle wheat in exchange for money.

Do you know what BORN AGAIN means?

RussellRutherfo:
You should not even touch the topic of BORN AGAIN like an Orthodox Jew won't touch Pig.
No JW cultists right from the first false jw prophet and single "last" day messenger, Charles Taze Russell is ever a born again.

Do you know what BORN AGAIN means?

RussellRutherfo:

bobestman:
You talk like kid. No sense at all. I taught you the truth about this post. You diverted to another and reciever a shocker. What do you have to say again. Go and rest joor

Heroicvic:
Yes please

Aemmyjah:
You are still arguing with this guy
Allow him to keep deluding himself
If life has no purpose according to him and everyone should choose his own purpose, let him go and be greeting and celebrating terrorists. You should be avoiding him cos he's gat nothing meaningful to offer or mention. He only claims he's wise cos he just discovered it

oteneaaron:
It is called Cognitive Dissonance bro.
Cognitive Dissonance
Noun PSYCHOLOGY
The state of having inconsistent thoughts, beliefs, or attitudes, especially as relating to behavioural decisions and attitude change.

NNTR:
Matthew 16:13-19
13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona:
for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church;
and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven:
and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

At that point of time, at the point of inference, Peter is right that Jesus, who happens to be God incarnate, yes, is the Son of the living God. Now this information, advanced by Apostle Peter, does not, in any way, diminish the fact that, on top or underneath, however way its looked, Jesus, being the Son of God, also is God, is YHWH pka Jehovah

Without you deceiving yourself, please state, what is the name given to a being who has the ability to know every thought going on in your heart and even and in everyone's mind?

If you're born into Buddhist temple
You won't reason like this

Heroicvic:
Is there God ?
Apart from the holy book can you prove this?
Which is the true religion Muslim or christian?
Is there heaven or hell where bad people go?
Lastly Nothing like karma 💯

Heroicvic:
Nothing of such when we're first born
All of these Identities are given to us by our parents or guardian
I'm confused
But what I'm sure of is there's no karma
You can't convince me otherwise
