MaxInDHouse: No diversion technique! The apostles stool before converts who sold a number of properties and deposited the money on their feet then shared the money equally among the attendees. Is that a poverty alleviation program or not? It is a lie. They distributed as they had need. Acts.4.35 - And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.Dó you think this practice continued beyond Jerusalem? Not really. Anyway, how many property have you sold now and deposited the money at'your GB's feet for distribution? It was just a welfare package handled the way they thought best. Later, Dorcas didn't need to deposit anything but did her own without the knowledge of Peter who heard about her good work after her death. As the church got, Paul began to classify who should be given welfare. You know the references nah. Today, things are differently handled in different ministries. In my own o. We have a way of helping ouselves. I have enjoyed and I am still enjoying it. Payment of school fees, help when needed, finding jobs, establishing businesses for people who needed, sending their wards to schools by abler people among us even to University level. Also, I contribute my own at my level. As soon as am through with training my own children, I look into those to train at my level. During COVID-19 food items distribution in local assemblies depending on where you are. It is still going on. If not because of this forum, you won't hear from anyone. It is not necessary. I still want to ask? Who are this people sharing money? Are you really sure? |

Can you quote where the Bible said the Apostles prayed over the matter before giving their consent?  I was responding to your post. It wasn't my own idea or original post. |

MaxInDHouse: And you stylishly dodge the question! 
So here is it again:
Were Peter and the apostles in need of money for personal use like those who shared money to be taken home for their needs? 1. Who are those that share money? 2. How did Peter and the apostles sustain themselves in ministry? 3. You criticize leaders of churches today, how they rob people. Are you very sure you know how they run their ministries? |

MaxInDHouse: Were those given the money believers who are in need of food, clothing or shelter?  Again, believers would pray, among brethren, they will help themselves: Matthew 25 . Do you remember the good deeds of Dorcas? No only that what of Ruth in Obed's farm and Jesus disciples picking ears of corn to eat. Jesus had farm? All these knew the disciples and brought to early church. You know when hypocrisy comes in. You criticize good works. Ministry having school. Elijah had. As at the time no secular school in Israel.

achorladey: Madness and insanities peddling peddler says quote where Jesus gave someone money as HELP 
The initial issue was....
Where is the money in the post you respond to? Running here and there to peddle madness and insanities. Where in the scriptures did your GODS see reasons to give members within your midst money in times of need? See mumunity. Jesus didn't give money to Peter to save him from the embarrassment of tax collector? Judas was keeping the bag. Jesus' ministry had money, Judas was the money keeper. How did he ask his disciples to give his congregation food? He could choose not to give money not out of lack but having several ways of solving same problems. |

Emusan: In fact, I've used the same John 1 against their doctrine of Jesus was created.
Reading John 1:3 from their own NWT shows Jesus can't be created "All things came into existence through him,+ and apart from him NOT EVEN ONE THING came into existence. John 1:3 - NWT
1. All things came into existence through Christ. ( they couldn't smuggle in the word 'OTHER' here as they did with Col 1:16-18)
2. Focus on the CAPITALISED words "NOT EVEN ONE THING." So, how can a person with brain read something like this and still believe that the person talking about here is Created?
When it comes to the Holy Spirit, just show them John 16:13 from their own translation which state "However, when that one* comes, the spirit of the truth,+ he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak of his own initiative, but what he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things to come.+"
1. Holy Spirit is called 'HE'
2. Note @underlined "But what He HEARS He will SPEAK" which means Holy Spirit is a person you can talk to and He will talk to you back. (I remember showing this verse to one JW man he has to come back following week with elder to do manipulation as he didn't know such verse exists and was shocked that something like this was said about Holy Spirit). 
3. At the end of the verse there is a plus(+) sign which is a reference to another verse, Acts 21:10, 11 "But after we had stayed there for quite a number of days, a prophet named Agʹa·busa came down from Ju·deʹa. 11 And he came to us and took Paul’s belt and tied his own feet and hands and said: “Thus says the holy spirit, ‘The man to whom this belt belongs will be bound like this by the Jews in Jerusalem,b and they will give him into the hands of people of the nations.’”c
Which is the evidence that Holy Spirit actually speak to people. Isa.48.16 - Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me. |

Which is the evidence that Ho
ly Spirit actually speak to people. They have made the Holy Spirit a stranger, and He has made them vagabonds. Jehovah's False Witnesses. If you read the Bible yourself, you will see the errors. It is annoying when the blind wants to lead the seeing. By their next generation, they will have changed all things they wish should not have been in the Bible. Dishonest, slaves. |

. 
Is the above use of by 1. holy spirit 2. By God's power
tautology by Paul?  Fraud. Scriptural fraud.. You can Google it. Their founder C.T. Russell was charged with wrong interpretation of Greek scriptures. He swore under oath that he understood Greek language. When cross examined, Greek alphabet was given to him, he could not recognize them. Simpletons will come to harass one here and elsewhere that they have monopoly of God's knowledge. As much as they panel beat scriptures to suit their fabrications, you will still pick holes here and there. Deluded fifu.  |

Sand2022: For the first time, you have made a fine rebuttal. Kudos!
While Russell's belief about the son is in some way different from that of JW today, he didn't see the son to be equal to the Father intoto. He believed that all the son had was from the Father. However, there was a difference in how he viewed the son as opposed to what the witnesses believe today. Secondly, another difference is about the spirit. Their corrupt bible is the most unrealistic edition. If you read through the Gospel of John, the Bible support multiple God than denying it. For instance, ( John 1:1) there's God and a god (a god not found in any Greek writs). However, the verse points to two God's: small and big. If the small recognizes the big or vice versa, why? You talk about the spirit, they tried but cannot remove personal pronoun like 'he' from addressing the Holy Spirit. Besides, every other spirit in the Bible is a being including God the Father Himself (John 4: 24). Only Jehovah's Witnesses's holy spirit is a force like electromotive force. Like the emf said, ' separate Paul and Barnabas for me...' Delusion ProMax  |
