Emusan has brilliantly answered this question
in another thread:

Jehovah's Witnesses witness for Jehovah
1. The Father Himself is a Witness to His Son
2. The Holy Spirit Himself is a Witness of the Son
3. The Apostles proclaim they are Witness of Jesus Christ
4. Jesus Himself commanded ALL HIS FOLLOWERS TO BE A WITNESS OF HIM not another person.

CultureRe: Igbos Share Ancestral Links With Yorubas, But Many Don’t Know – Ooni Ogunwusi by MightySparrow: 7:30am On Jul 11, 2024
Konquest:
Succinctly stated.

The man who is currently the Ooni of Ife has been speaking off-hand and mangling history. He has to be cautioned and told by the high-ranking chiefs to take at least one month off to read credible historical research works on the cultural and ancestral SIMILARITIES between the Yorubas and Igalas. The man keeps engaging in annoying "circular reasoning" and claiming that the Yorubas and Ibos are directly related or that the Ibos left Ife which are both FALSE claims! The Obi of Onitsha too was dishing out the same falsehoods in a BBC interview. These traditional rulers have to go back and relearn their histories bacause they come off as being lazy to me. Yes, the Onitsha folks and Asaba folks including other ethnicities in Edo, Delta, Kogi (Igalas who are classified officially as Yoruboid) all refered DEROGATORILY or derisively to the primitive "bush people" or "forest-dwelling tribes" who are NOW collectively known as Ibo (Igbo) today as "Igbon" in Edo, "Onye Ibo/Igbo" in Asaba and Onitsha, "Onigbo" by the Igalas or simply "Igbo!" Onigbo in Igala simply means SLAVES or OUTCASTS and people who practiced extensive CANNIBALISM or eating of human flesh even after 1900 as can be seen in the attached map BELOW!

The British colonialists came in the 1700s as slave merchants who bought Ibo slaves as recorded in European and American history books from the Ijaws, Efiks, Aros, Aboh, Igalas, Itsekiris, Binis, etc, and then in the 1800s as colonists and they also began to use that derogatory word IBO (IGBO) to collectively refer to those tribes who had individual names for their people such as Orlu, Mbaise, Ngwa, Awka (Oka), etc. These people didn't realize the name "Ibo" is derogatory and so, began to use it also for themselves based on what the British colonists and administrators had institutionalized or proposed. The concept of an Ibo tribe or ethnicity and the Central Ibo language is ENTIRELY a British colonial creation! This is why in published book interviews granted to the White folks and missionaries in the 1800s, the Asaba and Onitsha people did NOT call themselves by the DEROGATORY word Ibo (Igbo) but called the primitive tribes living outside their areas (East of the River Niger) in the bush as Ibos as can be gleaned from the screenshots you attached and ALSO here! With all these historical FACTS, it's important to urgently let this man who will be turning 50 this year to STOP making HIGHLY embarrassing public comments and STOP saying that Ibos of the areas East of River Niger are related to Ife or the Yorubas because they are NOT! He should take a month or two off to get himself acquainted with reading books or have experts from the University in Ife to DISTIL these historical FACTS to him. Period.

The works of experts debunk your claims. I will like you to listen to this clip, just find some of the references, especially those that more than a hundred years and read.

Besides, I have wondered when a babalawo told me that the Ifá Oracle and his own Sand for divination were the same. The Sand (I don't know the name) came from Arabia. I now found out that the same is practiced among igala, Igbo, Benin, Ebira.... All those Oòni mentioned. If these was not brought from the same origin, it must have been learned from the original owner. Who is this owner? Among all these playmates, here are similarities in language before the advent of Islam and Christianity that corrupt what we have now.
From where these languages intersect?

More scientific reasoning than myths should be used in finding our history. You talk about Obi of Onitsha, I believe as the custodian of the culture and history of his people, certain things are known to him and are believed amongst his people. Wether you take it or not, this is their palace truth.

All of us, lower of the Niger, are of common origin. Dishonesty and superiority complex is all you see on blogs. They don't serve any scholarly usefulness.

Emusan:
The best way I do use this to preach the gospel to them is by first asking this subtle question

Must I need to be a Jehovah Witness before I became believer?

Out of curiosity, some will answer outrightly No! But some will give an after thought answer Ye...... No!

The truth is, with that question, you have put them in a tight corner because no where in the scripture God command Christian to be His Witness rather the evidence throughout the scripture is that:

1. The Father Himself is a Witness to His Son
2. The Holy Spirit Himself is a Witness of the Son
3. The Apostles proclaim they are Witness of Jesus Christ
4. Jesus Himself commanded ALL HIS FOLLOWERS TO BE A WITNESS OF HIM not another person.

That is why, you see that the only scripture they can manipulate to back that claim up is from Old Testament which was never even about Jesus not to talk of His followers.
You are right my brother, a Christ's Witness as I am.

Some of us here found it funny when I said this organization against Jehovah esteem community truth over the scriptures and are living in delusion.

thanks so much for your honest submission, as you have rightly said let God be true and every man a liar.
As Christians we don't believe in having personal truths, it calls for concern for a Christian to have his or her truth. However, I am not saying God can't work mightily through a female, yes God can but however, it does not automatically mean that she is a pastor. Being a pastor is not just a matter of personal desire but that individual must be qualified to be.

This is what happens when the brand a religious organization sell is Jehovah grin grin grin grin

Your Jehovah said to those listening while he spoke from heaven this is my son listen to him.

When that same son was about leaving this earth he said all authority has been given to him and his last words said you are to be witnesses of me all, over the world.

None of his apostles go about witnessing about Jehovah in the new testament the focus was on Jesus Christ. Rutherford came changed the name and changed the brand of your gospel.


That is the truth you don't want to admit.

If we receive the witness men give, the witness God gives is greater, because this is the witness God gives, the fact that he has borne witness concerning his Son.


Witnesses of Jehovah's organization(Rutherford) is greater than that of Jehovah. Jehovah’s organization = God. You know.

The community delusion MightySparrow talks about grin grin


JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES ORGANIZATION has never ever been wrong when any other group is right.

Romans 13:1 = Jehovah and Jesus = Jehovah's Witnesses (wrong)

Romans 13:1 = Governmental authorities = other Christian denominations (right)

Empty boasting as usual
maximumSide will find it hard to believe that there is nothing special about his organization except special community delusion. What annoys me about the organization is their 'embarrassment gospel.' I met a woman in the hospital last Monday, she was telling me she was a witness and was talking about their,'community truth '. I was going to engage her but she looked too sickly.

And which organization is performing better than Jehovah's Witnesses?

My friend when it comes to being wrong don't deceive yourself because those claiming the Jehovah's Witnesses are wrong have never for once agreed on scriptural doctrines meaning they're only saying so out of envy.

JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES ORGANIZATION has never ever been wrong when any other group is right. The truth is that after the death of the last apostle John Christianity went into spiritual slavery so by the time Jehovah's Witnesses organization began making research to figure out where the church got things wrong they also didn't get it all correctly at once but for anyone to say the Jehovah's Witnesses are wrong my guy there has never been any religion called "CHURCH" that has been right after the death of the Apostles!
Wrong Sir. In as much as I appreciate the works and zeal of Jehovah Witnesses, I believe you guys are living in delusion. The fact that you have not gotten everything right still makes you human. You are humans running a human organization with the name of Jehovah!

As good, faithful as Moses was, he made certain blunders, he mispresented God. In part , God disallowed him entering The Promised Land as punishment or to prevent further embarrassment? On the other hand, Jesus came, and tried to correct some of his doctrinal errors (One of such is the Law that he wrote. The commandments were on tablets of stone, kept in the Ark. The Laws were in animal skin kept outside the Ark) The Hebrews could not agree with Him. The same Elijah and David. See the vindictive prayers of David. See the destructive fire of Elijah.
It is interesting to know that everyone that led a movement believed they held the whole truth and everyone else was wrong with passage of time, their errors would be revealed

Jehovah's Witnesses are not different. What is different in Jehovah's Witnesses is a different delusion. I was in a ministry where we believe that after God, it was us. We were special in our delusion, community delusion.
C.T. Russell started his Bible study movement by whatever name. He held the 'truth'. Today, Jehovah's Witnesses are quiet about their departure from the man claiming he was influenced by the church and popular doctrines of his time. Today, Jehovah's Witnesses esteem J.F. Rutherford. In recent times, the Governing Body is bringing 'New Lights'. In about a hundred years to come, if the end hasn't come, it is possible that all your celebrated practices and doctrines would be swallowed up by the 'Reigning Lights'.
The church has ever being like that. If you studied outside your confines, you would discover that there is nothing new. Not even Jehovah's Witnesses's delusion. Generational church delusions have been with us, so shall it ever be. gringringrin

I think you are wrong here, you can't compare Apostle Paul with Adeboye.
The bible was not dictated by God but God inspired people to write it down for the benefit for his people.
All scripture is given by inspiration.

2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

It is the writings that are inspired meaning even when Satan spoke, God inspired men to write it down.
Every scripture is given for doctrine and corrections in righteousness.

The apostles had authority over the church to set doctrines for the church. Because Paul is an Apostle he had authority to set doctrines for the churches, apart the 12 apostles and Paul no other person has this authority.

That is why men of God can write books but their books cannot be taking as scriptures.
When paul said 'I'for example he means it is not a direct command from the Lord however however, true and binding for the church.

For example in 1Timothy Paul said "I will meaning this is not a dialect command form the Lord but nevertheless true and the church should abide by it.
1 Timothy 2:8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

As for women being pastors, there are arguments for women being pastors in the church because there where female prophets and Deborah was a Judge and also Aquila was mentioned that she and her husband instructed apollos, in addition junia was called a minister.
I don't think these arguments stand because first, the old testament national Israel is not the same as the church secondly, a prophet is different from a pastor, a woman can be a prophet it is very in the new testament.

Acts 21:8 And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him. 21:9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.

Neither Is the argument about if a woman can be an evangelist or serve in the church.

The issue is that pastoral leadership is primarily for competent men. Mind you not every man can be a pastor because some people will say we are all one in Christ then why the restriction?

when it comes to the church pastoring is for a competent man.
I totally agree with your submission .
I was not trying to compare Adeboye with Paul. maximumSide understands. He and his club does not see anything good in any other ministry. In fact, when they bring a character out wether in the past or contemporary times, it to rubbish their works. That is why I made reference to Adeboye. If Adeboye or Kumuyi or any other sneezed, it would be prophecy to them. The other day Pastor Kumuyi said ,in an interview, that God would use our president to better the lot of Nigeria. He was asked by a journalist. The response was Kumuyi has prophesied. I was in Deeper Life before and even now, I have never heard pastor Kumuyi prophesying. Not once especially on media.


However, concerning female pastors, evangelists, and the rest, it is mere nomenclature these days. A female Christian music artiste would call herself evangelist. A prophetess would like to use Prophetess XYZ. In some ministries, CAC, for instance, all the biblical offices and nomenclatures are used. In Salvation Army military titles are used . In the early days of Deeper Life, no one went by the title, ' Pastor '. Everyone was 'Bro.'

As I pointed out, there are female ministers of the gospel that stood out with landmark results with mighty manifestations. I mentioned some that I know. It a universal thing. If I cannot understand why? Can I condemn them their works or the Holy Spirit that backed them? Some the ministries they left behind have endured more than a century. If they were wrong, why did God allow it? Deut. 29:29.

I believe that the letter written by Paul to address a particular situation, as good as it was, if other things shows up to be contrary but not destructive. Only God knows why. I belong to a group that believes that God still speaks. If my daughter comes to me and claims that God has called her to pastoral ministry, and God didn't tell me anything, will I go against her conviction? Not at all. That would be her personal truth.

Do I now say that the Holy Spirit in the life of Paul is different from the One now? Not at all. Will the Holy Spirit contradict Himself, let God be true and every man a liar.



Thanks so much brother.

1Cor.7.12 - But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

Can you see that Paul was writing here using his own wisdom to set things straight? Eccl. 10:10


Is every word in the Bible inspired? The same way you will say Adeboye said, he would eat pound yam. You will say Adeboye prophesied, be would eat pounded yam. gringrin
