yarimo: If so called CAN respect themselves as religious body without engaging in politics who will have the guts to attempt or bribe them. Very unfortunate for a Christian presidential candidate like obi
meobizy: Why do people believe in witchcraft in 2023?
They claim televisions are fueled off witchcraft, the internet is pure sorcery due to lack of wires connecting masts to base stations and agree among themselves that white people gain the needed knowledge from visiting the marine kingdom.
Do these people not know science is teachable using textbooks? Why will someone choose to stay ignorant in this time and age?
justcool: Almost all religious beliefs are predicated on the existence of the soul, our nonphysical essences that outlive our physical bodies.
But does the soul really exist or is it just a superstitious figment of our imagination? How do we arrive at the truth of this matter? Here science cannot come to our rescue because being limited to the physical, science cannot venture into the nonphysical. Hence this is question each individual must confront personally.
Join us, let’s reflect on this issue and see if we can arrive at a definite solution.
The Bible in Psalm 2 says, what is man? This is a question for ages. Philosophers have have tried to unravel the mystery of man. Science is looking for man is test tube. Religionists are giving varying definitions. The question still remains when a person dies all anatomical parts are intact. Yet here lies a lifeless person.
The question is what is life. Then what is soul?
What is the essence of of life? Where does life resident in man? When does it enter.
No one really knows is my conclusion.
I have personally read about it. Listen to great minds across many religions.
As a christian I watched some Rabbis discuss about it because the Bible itself is majorly their history and philosophy and reality. They say some funny things about the soul.
However, I believe that soul is the real man: what binds the spirit and the eathen vessel we are. At death the spirit departs, body drops. Soul continues to live. Where, how, I don't know.
The best book I think I have read about it is one [i]The Spiritual Man [/i]by Watchman Nee... I didn't finish the book o. But makes some sense.
MaxInDHouse: Then you don't need me after all you don't need those deceiving themselves!
I know a number of people that have left your organization in search of truth or truer truth than the one you profess. Some born into it. A number you shunned or disfellowshipped. Your junior judge, GB, Has disqualified them from the truth and God's Kingddm
MaxInDHouse: I hate people who love deceiving themselves!
If you're not one of Jehovah's Witnesses and you forbid been one of us there's no need learning from us because Jesus warned us not to throw our pearls before swine {Matthew 7:6} surely you won't value it. Go and learn or discuss or debate or argue with those you love their groups i am not your Papa Oyedepo!
What if you are the one deceiving yourself with your community truth?
MaxInDHouse: Jehovah's Witnesses was chosen in the year 1919 and assigned to preach and teach the truth globally, from that time on Satan is free to do whatever he pleases with all other religions but as for Jesus' group it's either you comply with the law of Christ or disfellowshiped. Of course sinners are found among God's people but we won't approve their sinful traits simply because their number is much we will do whatever it takes to reprove and correct them if they're willing to make a U-turn. That's what true Christianity means!
My grandfather attened the meeting when Jws were chosen. I remember telling us how Jesus look like.
In attendance were the GB, 8 of them. He now told them the number would be 10 in the future.
He gave the qualifications for knowing the anointed ones. The other day, Stephen Lett or David Splain reminded us in a conference. I almost forgot.
I was already thinking that this people were imposing their ideas on Jehovah when I remembered that JWs are special and think for God.
I am laughing in Arabic, Antichristian's prophet's native language.
Dtruthspeaker: Deviation from post. We are not talking about jw foreign and domestic policy of 1980 but about the jw founding fathers who were fathers of Slavers and the slavers themselves and bandits of other people's lands.
Dwight Eisenhower, a time president of the USA was a JW. MaximumSide will tell us they were in darkness or dim light then, now they have light, new fading light.
lawani: In 2011, Steve Jobs who was one of the prominent US citizens watching Enoch Adeboye's drama in Nigeria died and he wrote a will which included me. I don't know how many millions or billions of dollars he left for me. He however gave the consenting power to Enoch Adeboye who immediately issued a prophecy saying the riches of some unbelievers will be transferred to the believers. As at that time in 2011, I still was attending his church. Steve Jobs was the unbeliever owner of the fortune while I was the believer. Things escalated quickly by March 2012 when I was sent to the psychiatry and I could no longer be called 'believer' again. Because of that, Enoch Adeboye did not consent to the will up till today. My business was upended and I was obstructed severally at the places I worked Meanwhile the President George W Bush Presidential Library was publishing my works and hinging me up as a member of the academia. This is twelve years since Steve Jobs willed me money and for that twelve years, Enoch Adeboye has sat on it. He was given the consenting right because he accused the CIA of setting him up to attack me with edited videos. Ok, take the Steve Jobs' will and use it to ask for forgiveness from Akin Lawanson. He has not been able to do that for twelve years.
Maybe you are not the believer he was referring to.
MaxInDHouse: There are many teachers on Nairaland so if the JW choose not to teach you why not go for the others? After all you don't want to become a JW, do you?
I forbid and God forbid!
Matt.18.18 Truly I tell you, whatever you forbid and declare to be improper and unlawful on earth must be what is already forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit and declare proper and lawful on earth must be what is already permitted in heaven. (AMP)
Ekaka1: While I don't hold brief for his woeful performance...the goal that Hammers scored out of nothing was a very silly defensive error our boys shouldn't be making at this level
I had problem with network here. The little I watched was not inspiring at all.
If this team plays like against Man U, Man City, Tottenham, they go collect wotowo
MaxInDHouse: Why not go and ask your pentecostal church members? after all you're not one of JWs so it's better you take spiritual food from your pentecostal churches!
You are a ready Nairaland teacher. A bird at hand is better than 10000 I can't access now.
MaxInDHouse: Of course there is soul and that's the person you know not some immaterial being.
For your information soul simply means the person for instance imagine if someone you know is involved in a terrible gas explosion that claims his face and body then he refused to die despite all the damage the explosion did to his body so some surgeons gathered round to save him but the just have to prepare another face and skin for him and after the surgery he is OK again. Note that the new body will be unrecognizable but when he you carefully observe his thoughts words and actions it will remind you of your friend. That's what the soul means. It's the body that sustains the person once he stops breathing the person (soul) is DEAD! Ezekiel 18:4
Humans have the power to destroy that body sustaining the persons breath but afterwards they can't do anything else {Matthew 10:28} if the person has a clean record God has the power to prepare a new and better body for the person to continue living! Ezekiel 37:11-13
May you have PEACE!
I like your explanation. Truth can be gleaned from the things that happen as well as things that don't. I was in a class one day, a Bible teaching class,. Our resource person retorted that we should not believe in the nonsense of the soul travel professed by some cults.
Incidentally, a many was there from another ministry, a new convert who was just coming out of Eckamker or Grail Message ( I can't remember which one).
This man angrily answered our teacher that she should not talk about what she knows nothing about. That it was what he had practiced for about fifteen years.
When someone leaves his body consciously, which part of him goes out?
MaxInDHouse: In that case it's better i give you the response best for the fool: SILENCE!
I agree I am a fool, full time , it will be wide to answer. But the Bible says it is dangerous to say( treat) anyone as a fool by the Master himself.
Matthew 5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
AntiChristian: .But you still lied to attract me to your cult just as you were lied to before you converted. . I I have noticed you sometimes give irrelevant verses to buttress your point!
