Let's continue the study session!
Sincere and honest hearted questions will be attended but i will not attend to fruitless arguments from any critic. Thanks for following!

MaxInDHouse:
We have considered two of the titles the promised Messiah will exhibit: Wonderful Counselor and Mighty God. So let's consider the remaining two titles before we now move on to see how Jesus' true followers have done GREATER WORKS than their Oga! John 14:12

Once again you're welcome

Isaiah did mentioned four titles:
©Wonderful Counselor
©Mighty God
©Everlasting Father and
©Prince of Peace.
Now we've discussed two of the titles let's consider the remaining two!

Everlasting Father!

Jesus never got married therefore he couldn't have any biological child of his own so how can he be a father talkless of been everlasting for that matter?
Well Jesus himself answered the question when he referred to the stubborn and wicked religious leaders in the first century Jewish community as "Satan's Children" John 8:44
So in the same manner Jesus will become a father to humans adhering to his Counselling just as many have become Satan's Children due to their rebellious attitude! Genesis 3:15
Of course Jesus' true followers will have to do WORKS GREATER than what Jesus did by searching and helping many throughout the earth to become Jesus' spiritual children as they are humbly obeying Jesus' commands! Matthew 28:19-20


Prince Of Peace!

A Prince is the Son of a King therefore this promised child must be a child to someone greater and higher than him {John 14:28} but since he always does whatever pleases his father {John 8:29} the son can confidently and boldly say he and his father have the same line of thought! John 10:30

From inception it has always been the will of the father that there is peace throughout the universe {Psalms 37:11; 72:7; Isaiah 48:18} so the son too must be a champion when it comes to making peace reign in the gathering of his father's sheep! John 14:27

So what GREATER WORKS have Jesus' true followers been doing to ensure that there is Peace among those adhering to their Oga's Commandments? John 14:15

Now that we have seen the four ways where Jesus true followers need to do GREATER WORKS than their Oga.

Let's Now consider the group that's performing to expectations in this regards!

To be continued....

So Jesus' true followers must accomplish these four things on a global scale:

Counselling themselves and their friends throughout the earth in a Wonderful way so that people globally can see the positive effect of the counselling of their Master in whatever the adherents do. Matthew 5:13-16

Since Jesus is the Mighty God and King in the midst of his followers, his orders must be so effective that observers will notice it in the lives and activities of Jesus' disciples. For instance Jesus commaded his followers not to use force or weapons in leading themselves. So you can never find one person in possession of weapons in their gathering.


Everyone on earth will acknowledge that Jesus' true followers are of the same line of thought just as it beffits God's children.


Peace will reign in the gathering of Jesus' true followers to the extent that people outside will be so pissed off saying they are a cult!

Prince of Peace

Throughout the world there are countless religious groups claiming Christians with contradicting teachings and conflicting doctrines.
Majority don't cares to ask Who are doing the will of God?
So with the titles Isaiah mentioned regarding the promised Messiah it's clear that those following up with his work will surely do more as on GREATER WORKS than he did.
HOW?
Jesus is no more here physically so the works of salvation will continue with his group taking the good news of God's kingdom to all the four corners of the earth.
So if it's really what the promised Messiah commissioned then the adherents must take God's word seriously as if their life depends on it {Isaiah 2:2} they must continue studying it to know how it applies to them {Isaiah 2:3 compare to Malachi 3:16} they must use it to settle all their racial disputes, resolve all issues causing troubles, divert their resources to production of food and information materials, forgo the use of weapons and right off the thoughts of military services! Isaiah 2:4

Do you know any group fulfilling all these today?
Well it's none other than the group led by Archangel Michael (Jesus Christ) they're globally known as Jehovah's Witnesses!

God bless you and may you have PEACE!

People throughout the world call different names yet some teaches that all these people are calling on the same God.

So in our next topic we will discuss:
Who is God? and
Does He have a specific name?

You're welcome!

God is the Supreme Being and Creator of all things just like all His creatures God also has a specific name that He love to be called.

Before the event that occurred @ Babel the whole earth speak the same language {Genesis 11:1} so they all called God's name in the same tongue! Genesis 4:26

But when God saw that Satan is trying to keep them all in one geographical location God sent an angel who confused their language so that they all began speak different languages, this is why they scattered each person with the one who understands his own language! Genesis 11:9

Now that they're no more speaking the same language, How are they going to call the name of the Creator?

Let's consider that in the next post!

After mankind's confusion they scattered on the face of the earth but something significant happened back then, fallen angels that cursed the global deluge had no opportunity to return back to their home (heaven) and their divine appointment was terminated so they began looking for something else to do.
God has four predominant attributes namely LOVE, JUSTICE, WISDOM and POWER.
Any creature made in God's image must possess all these qualities but when they become faulty due to selfish cravings these will begin to diminish in them until they become completely useless. In fact that's what it means to be creatures made in the image of God!
So for any creature made in God's image to continue living happily we need to work on these qualities in order not to loose any of it because our happiness and joy depends largely on how much we are able to imitate our heavenly father.
Both angels and humans possess these qualities from inception, Satan lost it when he rebelled against his father whom he needs to continue imitating and so the other angels as well. That's why the qualities begin to diminish in their case. Adam also lost it when he joined Satan to rebel against his father and he also began loosing those qualities.
The four qualities are what moves us into action always, Satan and his demons were dismissed but they're still in possession of these qualities so when intelligent creatures turned against God the first quality that's lost is LOVE. God is LOVE {1John 4:8} therefore for anyone to continue possessing that quality we must stay close to God. Satan, Adam and Eve lost it immediately they turned against the source of LOVE. Satan is a spirit and because he is the ringleader he kept distancing himself from God he has no love, justice or wisdom anymore except power so when it comes to work Satan and his demons can never stay idle that quality will always move them into action.
The same thing is applicable to humans but because we depend on our physical bodies to do any work most of the time we get tired of working but that doesn't mean we don't want to do anything, we always feel bad when we're not able to do something.
Apart from when we are dizzy, weak or injured no human love idleness and the same is with angels.
So the fallen angels need something to keep them busy but who will employ them when they're no more working for the Person who created them?
Can they humbly surrender themselves to man whom they consider as lesser beings?
We shouldn't forget that it's arrogance that led them to rebel against their father and employer so any work they're going to do now must be what will make them feel important.
That's why they turned themselves into gods doing all sort of thing like magic and witchcraft whoever employs them must be prepared to meet their demands, and they're ready to make their employers arrogant and boastful.
That's how many humans began dealing with fallen angels (demons), of course you need to know the name of your employee before you can relate well, so these gods are everywhere and people in different lands know different gods (demons) with different names. These fallen angels promoted magic and witchcraft so their employers feel on top because with the demons on their side they can punish anyone who offends them at will.

The true God waited until all these fallen angels satisfied themselves filling the whole earth and ruling over people as they're using their human agents (employers) as puppets sitting on thrones in different parts of the earth. So when the true God decided to introduce Himself to mankind He called one man out of an Eastern City that's most influential back then, the name of the man is Abraham!
Unlike all other spirits that humans were searching for out of a selfish, vengeful and arrogant mindset God is the one who called Abraham and told him the fine qualities He (God) saw in Abraham, then He told Abraham He will like to establish a lasting friendship with Abraham and Abraham's descendants forever! Genesis 12:1-3
What is the name of this spirit who later proved Himself to be the Almighty?

Let's continue in the next post.
Good morning!

Abraham, Isaac and Jacob called the God that called Abraham out of Ur by the name

"JEHOVAH"

They all believed that this God is the Almighty (highest authority over all the earth) {Psalms 83:18} so if anyone wants to worship this same God (SPIRIT) today, in what name should he approach Him?
To answer that question let's consider three things:
©This SPIRIT made arrangements for some 40 different men to document all His past dealings with people of ancient times in one big book known globally today as "Bible" and all these 40 men were Israelites!
©This SPIRIT often refer to Himself as "the God of Abraham the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob (Israel)"
©This SPIRIT keep emphasizing the importance of a geographical location on this planet as His City, the name of this City is known today as "JERUSALEM "

So does it make any sense if someone wants to relate with this SPIRIT but chose to call Him not the same way these people (Israelites) do call Him?

To illustrate let's assume you're trying to become a friend of Mr President, you know very well that he's the president of your country and so he supposed to care for you as one of his loyal citizens. But for some reasons you chose to get closer to him then you noticed that he's fond of a man you knew very well and always relate with that person as his closest confidant. Will you choose to go and line up for applicants who wants to see Mr President or you will go through his closest confidant who knows you very well?

And if his closest confidant now tells you the name he used to call Mr President as someone with whom they both relate like families, will you ignore such name only to enter and address him as "Mr President" like others?

Surely you will like him to feel that you're also part of his distant relations who knew him very well for him to attend to you in a special way.

That's why Jesus God's only begotten Son keep on emphasizing on the importance and sanctity of God's name! Matthew 6:9; John 17:6, 26

God bless you and may you have PEACE!

Many people are scared of the dead!
Some says the dead have become like gods (immortals) that can either help or harm them, in most cultures across the globe the fear of the dead has caused so much agony and suspense to the extent that people are worshiping the dead out of fear or seeking favour from the dead.

But what does the Bible really teach on this topic?
Let's consider God's word together in the next post!

the only bible study i have seen without any studiers

Why are you always disturbed?

Before creation Adam never existed so when God told Adam "you will die" {Genesis 2:17} there's no reason to think something will survive or continue existing after Adam! Ecclesiastes 9:5,6,10

Satan and his demons wants to continue promoting the lie he told Eve so they're disguising as dead people and the confusion is everywhere. So when you see or hear voices from the spirit realms claiming they're people who died it's the demons that are at work!

Throughout the earth people worshiped many spirits in various ways but the one and only true God revealed all these deep secrets to the Israelites. All other nations worships demons that why the true God created the barrier separating His own people from all other peoples. That barrier is God's laws!

In the Bible God permitted His people to fight and kill during battles {Exodus 17:11-13} surely they were killing people who are their enemies!
But Jesus God's only begotten son said we must love everyone (including our enemies)
So why did God approve fighting and killing in the OT but asked us not to continue such in the NT?
Do we still have battles to conquer?
Against who are we to wage wars now?

This will be our next Bible discussion!

Ecc_7:6 For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool:

false jw mad max

a teller of lies right up til the end, of course

Joh 8:44  Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

John 14:11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.

Joh 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

God's word gives plenty of clues that Jesus is God, for those he hasn't blinded

isaiah 40:3 tells of one preparing the way for YAHWEH
matthew 3:3 shows the isaiah prophesy be concerning john the baptist
and the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ

John 14:11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.

Q. how can Jesus be in the Father and the Father in Jesus
A. because God is a spirit, the word and Father is that one same Spirit that is God

Joh_4:24  God is a Spirit:

Joh 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Joh_14:23  Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

Jesus is not only in the father

Jesus equally said you see me you have seen the father

John 14:9
Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

New Living Translation
Jesus replied, “Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and yet you still don’t know who I am? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father! So why are you asking me to show him to you?

This will be our next Bible discussion!

As we've discussed previously, God wants His name to be sanctified or vindicated throughout the earth. This means that all the troubles mankind is experiencing today was not His doing neither did He find pleasure in it.
But first Satan and His demons don't want God's name to be left out in all the atrocities they're committing globally along with their human agents so many demons scattered around the world and began claiming "God" these demons were teaching people so many conflicting things about the purpose of life.
Many philosophers were working with them promoting all sorts of fallacies everywhere so that whenever you hear someone mentioned "God" you'll become bored feeling anyone gibberish is about to be fabricated. That's their plans.
So God arranged for a nation who will bear His name, live by His standards and by so doing honest hearted and sincere individuals from all other nations can see the difference.
Satan and his demons are aware of all these so instantly they began fighting hard to disrupt God's plan. They knew God won't love some robotic humans worshiping Him but those who will chose to do so from the bottom of their own hearts. So Satan and his demons capitalized on the imperfect state of Israelites to disrupt God's plan. But God is wiser than Satan and all the demons supporting Satan, He (God) will only punish His people whenever they err and reinstate them as His chosen race!
So Satan and his demons started bringing their human agents (worshipers) against God's people to wage war against them. Normally with what happened in Egypt alone any right thinking person supposed to know that the spirit (God) who singlehandedly delivered the Israelites from the hand of the greatest nation back then without a military force certainly is the ALMIGHTY GOD. But don't forget that Satan and his demons are the gods all these nations worship so instead of telling their worshipers the truth that the God with Israel is the true God Satan and his demons continued to deceive their worshipers and assembling them in battles against the Israelites.
So what did Jehovah the only true God do?

We'll discuss that in the next post.
Once again Good morning, do have a lovely weekend!

Since He has send the warning it's evident that He loves everyone equally but He just have to do what's necessary to make things right.

First He told the Israelites not to attack anyone but to continue their journey peacefully through the wilderness, yet Satan, demons and their human agents started instigating people against Jehovah and His people Israel.
Many of the nations that have heard of how JEHOVAH dealt with Pharaoh and his people started coming to wage war against the Israelites, doesn't that sound preposterous?

Imagine the utterances of one lady (prostitute) named Rahab an inhabitant of Jericho:

She said to the men: “I do know that Jehovah will give you the land and that the fear of you has fallen upon us. All the inhabitants of the land are disheartened because of you, for we heard how Jehovah dried up the waters of the Red Sea before you when you left Egypt and what you did to the two kings of the Amʹor·ites, Siʹhon and Og, whom you devoted to destruction on the other side of the Jordan. When we heard about it, we lost heart, and no one has any courage because of you, for Jehovah your God is God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath. Now, please, swear to me by Jehovah that, because I showed loyal love to you, you will also show loyal love to my father’s household; and you must give me a sign of good faith.  You must spare the lives of my father and mother, my brothers and sisters, and all who belong to them, and you must save us from death.” Joshua 2:9-13

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm how do you view this prostitute's strong faith in the God of another nation coming to take over her own father's land?
Well Jehovah richly rewarded Rahab by making sure that her name is written in remembrance of her unwavering faith. And where did JEHOVAH asked one of His secretaries to pen down Rahab's name?
Well Rahab's name appeared in connection with Jesus Christ {Matthew 1:5} so that when Jesus come to resurrect faithful people Rahab's name is already on the list of Witnesses who had strong faith in the God of Israel! Hebrews 11:31

Well JEHOVAH ordered the Israelites to start killing the stubborn people who believe in the demons but neglected facts. So JEHOVAH made sure that His name is proclaimed throughout the earth as the God who is the Most High over all the earth! Psalms 83:18


But why did Jesus later told us to live our enemies?

We'll discuss that in the next post!

Do you know how to solve a problem? You go to the taproot and deal with it. Then the problem will be forever solved.

I don't want to join issues with the Jws, if I were to, I would ignore them and focus on the teachings of the WatchTower, which is the root cause of their insanity.
================================
I honestly didn't want to join issues with these guys, but their boldness in quoting the scriptures was annoying, considering the foundation on which they stand.
I have so many of their false teachings to bring up here but let me rest for now.

Like Pul says in Romans 10:1-3
10 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.
2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

These guys zeal and foundation is not built on truth and righteousness of God ................................................................

Well JEHOVAH ordered the Israelites to start killing the stubborn people who believe in the demons but neglected facts. So JEHOVAH made sure that His name is proclaimed throughout the earth as the God who is the Most High over all the earth! Psalms 83:18

But why did Jesus later told us to live our enemies?
We'll discuss that in the next post!

All the time Jehovah was supporting the Israelites against other nations it was because of His Holy Name {Psalms 23:3} but when it becomes obvious that Israelites themselves no more regard God's name there is no reason killing people from other nations who most of the times appreciates and honour the God of Abraham! Matthew 3:9
So Jesus explained that once the name of God has gone far and wide yet the Israelites who are supposed to be the pioneers of this now began criticizing and antagonizing God's only begotten Son the Messiah who came to them in the name of JEHOVAH! John 17:6, 26

Jesus told them God is no more protecting them due to their geographical location (Jerusalem) rather God now protects only those honouring His holy name no matter where they may be or their nationality! John 4:20-24

After Jesus commissioned Christianity and people began calling the name of Jehovah in line with Jesus' teaching and God's Holy Spirit is manifesting in their midst {Matthew 28:19} nobody should expect the true God to support any race against another because His true worshipers are everywhere!

That's why Jesus commaded his followers not to use weapons when settling issues! Matthew 26:52

God bless you and may you have PEACE!

God's word says

"The form of worship that is clean and undefiled from the standpoint of our God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation, and to keep oneself without spot from the world" James 1:27

How will Christians apply this injunction?

Christians are followers of a first century Jewish carpenter who claimed he was sent by the most high God so whatever they are going to practice as WORSHIP to God must be in line with the THOUGHTS, WORDS AND ACTIONS of the founder of that group "Jesus of Nazareth"

How did the man Jesus looked after orphans and widows in their tribulations and kept himself without spot from the world around him?

Let's discuss this in the next post.

Jesus is the promised child Isaiah spoke about.
This child will proved to be a Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace! Isaiah 9:6
So let's consider how Jesus used his position to worship God purely as described @ James 1:27?

Looking after widows and orphans in their tribulations!

Looking after widows and orphans in their tribulations!

A counselor's job is to help the heartbroken get back to happy life by giving them wise counsel that will bring them great relief!
So who are the orphans and widows that Jesus came to their rescue?
Of course it's mankind in general. Because we lost the wise counsels that we supposed to be getting timely from our father "Adam" so now that Jesus has come to replace Adam {1Corinthians 15:45} have you gained anything from the wise counsel from this man who proved to be a caring father?

What about widows? How did Jesus take care of widows?
Jesus showed compassion for many widows in Israel but did he give anyone money?
NO!
Let's remind ourselves of an old widow whose only son died and the whole village were crying and wailing as they carried the dead man for burial. Luke 7:11-17
And widow Jesus helped is his own mother (Mary) by the time Jesus was dying on the torture stake, Mary has become a Christian but all her children have abandoned her due to the agreement among the Jews that whoever profess faith in Jesus should be excommunicated!
So when Jesus asked Apostle John to care for Mary as mother Jesus was showing Christians how to care for the widows in their midst! John 19:26-27

We can learn a lot about pure worship from the way Jesus handled the situation during his lifetime! James 1:27

Religion is as old as mankind but today there's contradictions everywhere.

Religion is as old as mankind but today there's contradictions everywhere.
There are many creatures on this planet and the only specie having to do with religion is man so how do we resolve this issue and what should be the purpose of religion in our society "the human society"?
Good morning, let's discuss this important topic in the the next post!

If we look into this matter CRITICALLY we will discover that mankind wouldn't need anything like religion in our agenda, but when we meditate thoroughly on what makes us superior to other creatures on planet earth we will be convinced that we can't continue existing without pure worship. What do i mean?
Well let's consider the characteristics of living things and most importantly mammals, we will find out that it's everything we do that animals do too with the exception of one thing:
SPEECH

Of course animals do communicate their own way but how effective is their system of communication? In most cases superiority often leads to a showdown in the animal kingdom. This so because they lack speech and that is the only way living creatures can motivate one another into doing things that will benefit all. Because animals are lacking in this regard they often end up fighting and killing one another over who should decide what must take place.
But that shouldn't be the case with mankind the one and only creature endowed with the ability to SPEAK, compel an finally convince he audience to yield to some motivational speech!

Of what importance is the ability to speak if mankind can talk but can't reason together without picking weapons against one another!?

So what role is the ability to speak play in pure worship today?.

Let's find out in the next post

What role is the ability to speak playing in pure WORSHIP?

Before the coming of Christ the weapon of battle is the SWORD, God's people learn how to master the use of swords to fight the enemies of pure worship. But when Jesus Christ arrived he made it clear that since pure worship will have to be taken to other places outside Jerusalem, then it will no more be what is stationed in one geographical location on this planet as it was before him {John 4:21-24} and so God's people will no longer need the SWORD to protect pure worship {Matthew 26:52} rather they will need another weapons far much more effective than the SWORD and that's God's WORD! Ephesians 4:17 compare to Hebrews 4:12
So when Jesus emphasized the need for SWORDS {Luke 22:36} he wasn't talking about the physical SWORD rather what he meant is God's WORD but his Jewish followers who are used to physical SWORD misconstrued what Jesus said. Therefore when the time came to fight for pure worship Peter quickly brought out his SWORD after all master said they should be in possession of SWORN only to be disappointed when master condemned the use of physical SWORD! Matthew 26:52

Jesus used God's word perfectly to fight the fight of faith, you can read the Bible book of Matthew 4:1-10 there Jesus fight a spiritual battle with Satan and conquered the devil with the spiritual SWORD. This implies that each Christian must possess a copy of God's word (Bible) and master it's use! 2Timothy 2:15

So do you have a copy of the Bible?
Is it a complete Bible?
Have you completely read everything in it?
Have you mastered it's use?

For you to be a true Christian you must have this SWORD (Bible) and master it's use because it will help you greatly to defeat Satan and his demons, the real enemies that you can't see! Ephesians 6:12

God bless you and may you have PEACE!
