ContinuousTortu: Before the British raided the kingdom of Benin, they had knowledge that the palace was power fortified. Not with anyhow juju, juju dating back to 500 years ago. The British went to the drawing board, fortified themselves and plundered the palace. One of the rules was that they should avoid having sex with any Benin lady. The instructions were kept to the latter and that's how the British succeeded.
Juju is real and it can be used to monitor a person and control their mind, but it was not strong enough to stop the British latsest machine gun at the time.
MaxInDHouse: The Ark is physical the organization is spiritual so only friends of peace could find peace inside while enemies of peace takes their leave!
But your organisation has $billions of dollas in physical assets
MaxInDHouse: How many people joined Noah in the Ark?
For your information friends of peace are not easy to find!
How many of those that joined Noah in the Ark complained of a fake peace in the Ark, like those who joined your organisation are now protesting they got a fake peace you sold to them to join
MaxInDHouse: YES! Jesus never brought the type of impossible peace the world do promise those who aren't in submission to the same line of thought {John 14:27} but among people of goodwill there will be peace due to the presence of Christ Jesus of Nazareth! Luke 2:14
So present people of goodwill among whom peace reigns!
If the TRUE PEACE of GOD is in your organisation then the people in the video who left would not have being protesting against that religious opium you call peace
MaxInDHouse: Please of what good is history to me when i'm seeing a global family of peace loving worshipers already established? Ọmọ such history is as good as garbage!
That peace is religious opium, even the FAKE Jesus Christ created by the Romans you are preaching said “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. Matthew 10:34.
Only GOD Himself can give peace and not the FAKE peace you keep talking about that after it clears from your followers they then find it hard to believe they have been so gullible.
MaxInDHouse: If you're not stupid how can a rotten tree bear good fruit? Matthew 7:16-18
Stupidity is when the slave trade is turned to a fake religious story and the likes of you are used as tools to preach such a fake story. If you study history you will know about Roman occupation of Isreal at the time of your fake messaih that could not save his people from Roman occupation and slavery of the Jews
GOD said Jonah should go and preach against it. Preach means to deliver a sermon
Jonah 1:1-2 1 The word of the Lord came to Jonah son of Amittai: 2 “Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me.”
“Get up, go to Ninʹe·veh the great city, and proclaim judgment against her, for their wickedness has come to my attention.” Jonah1:2
PREACHING and TEACHING are two different things. When talking about TEACHING it's what has been established that you can inculcate with the act of teaching but as for preaching it has two facets: [1] Warning message [2] Declaring God's judgment.
In the case of Nineveh Jonah was to DECLARE God's message to Ninevites that's why he never expected them to repent because he wasn't warning them. Had it been he warned them it would have been a two way expectation whether they will yield and be spared or ignore and be destroyed. Jonah declared destruction on Nineveh anticipating evil because God never told him to preach for the nation to repent!
Then you have not read this verse: Jonah 1:1-2 1 The word of the Lord came to Jonah son of Amittai: 2 “Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me.”
MaxInDHouse: Please can you prove the highlighted in the scriptures?
God never sent Jonah to preach nor teach in Nineveh, all he was sent to do is DECLARED GOD'S JUDGMENT ON THAT CITY. Jonah 1:2
Jonah got there and declared saying:
"In just forty days this city will be destroyed" Jonah 3:4
And the countdown began as Jonah wakes up each day to declare the remaining days from 40-39-38-37-36-35.........10-9-8-7-6
He never preached nor taught a single thing in Nineveh!
Please the book (Bible) belongs to JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES so before you jump into argument with a JW study hard because it's our book and we can tell you everything in it! Isaiah 54:17
The Torah is: God's revealed teaching or guidance for humankind. Source: https://www.britannica.com/topic/Torah So I will ask you again to show what GOD told Jonah to tell the people of Nineveh which cannot be found in the Torah?
Kobojunkie: 1. So by your assessment, every time God sent one of His prophets to a King order that the King of Israel , it was to extend the Law of Moses to that Nation .i.e. Babylon, Tyre and Sidon, etc?
Kobojunkie: 2. You used a search filter to look up a reference for God supposedly change His Mind without bothering to verify exactly what it was that was about?
I have updated it

Kobojunkie: So Jonah took a Constitution and promise which God swore by His Name belonged only to those who have the blood of Jacob coursing through their veins - Deuteronomy 30 vs 15 - 20?
You are saying that God lied to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob , and all of the prophets who He conscripted - they didn't even have a choice in the whole matter from the beginning- into an eternal Covenant with Him? You seem desperate to win this argument, am I right? Either that you really believe God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is just a fking nut job? Which is it?
So what message did GOD tell Jonah to take to the people of Nineveh which cannot be found in the Torah? Remember that GOD can also change HIS Mind - Exodus 32:14
Amos 7:3 So the LORD relented. “This will not happen,” the LORD said.
God sent Jonah to Nineveh to tech them the Torah so the Torah was not for Isreal only but for any nation that wants it
MaxInDHouse: Old Covenant was between YHWH and Israel so there's no business a none Israelites who lives far away from Canaan (Jerusalem temple) has with YHWH in the Old Covenant. Matthew 15:24
But with the New Covenant {Jeremiah 31:33} people from other nations can become friends of YHWH because geographical location doesn't count in the New Covenant! John 4:22-24
So who connected you with YHWH when you're not an Israelite neither a citizen of Israel living close to the temple in Jerusalem?
If they did then by now they would have built a city on the moon as they always keep improving just like the space station where they keep sending people to like going to the office despite the hugh cost
MaxInDHouse: That's another topic entirely, has your question been addressed?
So if that was the watchtower temple in Jerusalem at the time and the son of the founder could stop the Romans from destroying his father's temple, would he let the Romans just destroy it like that?
MaxInDHouse: To the Apostles Jesus has come to restore sanity in his father's house so they believe they can continue with his teaching inside that same temple unknowingly to them that it's not Jesus the Jews resisted rather it's his teachings! Act 4:18; 5:28
Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, according to Jesus the end time has come {Matthew 4:17} so humans can't get anything good from human rule whether it's your own people that is in power or foreigners. Those Jews were only overwhelmed with the thought that a Jewish ruler like Jesus will make a big difference {John 6:15} but Jesus made it clear to them that Satan has hijacked the world's political system {John 14:30} so things will continue to get worse! Matthew 6:34
But Jesus is coming back to take over the rulership of this world
MaxInDHouse: YES! Their understanding of what happened was gradual it didn't occur to them that they're no longer wanted in the temple until the Jews begin attacking them!
The Roman empire occupying Israel at the time were the bad guys but made the Jews resisting their occupation to look like the bad guys.
But His apostles knew they picked up stones to stone their master, so why did they still go back to the same temple?
MaxInDHouse: YES! Their understanding of what happened was gradual it didn't occur to them that they're no longer wanted in the temple until the Jews begin attacking them!
MaxInDHouse: NO! Jesus is the Son of the One whom the Jews worship in the temple but they later pursued him with stones out of the same temple!
So they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid and went out of the temple. John 8:59
and Jesus was walking in the temple in the colonnade of Solʹo·mon John 10:23
Once again the Jews picked up stones to stone him. John 10:31
That's why he said:
“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the killer of the prophets and stoner of those sent to her—how often I wanted to gather your children together the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings! But you did not want it. Look! Your house is abandoned to you" Matthew 23:37-38
So after all his effort to make them know the importance of LOVE in God's house was trashed Jesus abandoned their house (no longer God's house) to them {Matthew 23:38} because instead of doing God's will they were doing their own! Romans 10:1-3
MaxInDHouse: YES! Their understanding of what happened was gradual it didn't occur to them that they're no longer wanted in the temple until the Jews begin attacking them!
Hmmm! I looks like you are one of the apostles of Jesus that has reincarnated to come and tell us all the events that happened around 2000 years ago.
MaxInDHouse: NO! Jesus is the Son of the One whom the Jews worship in the temple but they later pursued him with stones out of the same temple!
So they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid and went out of the temple. John 8:59

Thanks!
But after Jesus assended to heaven His appostles were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Luke 24 51 - 53 51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven. 52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy: 53 And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
MaxInDHouse: OK let's see reasons why Jesus allowed the Romans to DESTROY his father's house the Temple which happens to be the most cherished treasure of all Jews!
The Temple was also Jesus treasure: “Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a market!” John 2:16
