Question to Seun:

Why can Muslims partake in discussions of the Christian fate without affirming that Jesus Christ is the son of God, but a Christian must swear to the prophet Muhammad (SAW) being a prophet of Allah beforehand?.

Please clarify this disparity, or correct it.

When I need to call God, I know which God.
I can't be referring to a made-up Ritualist
A wicked god who needed the blood of an innocent man for his appeasement in order to forgive sins.

Common sense is not really Common in Christianity.
Jesus is a God, at same time the son of God while Mary is the Mother of God who God himself created. Jesus the God kills himself to please himself before him can forgive the sins of mankind.
Stupidity in the highest order.

JESUS NEVER CALLED HIMSELF GOD OR EQUATE HIMSELF TO GOD . THIS IS HOW JESUS DESCRIBES HIMSELF IN THE BIBLE .

John 7 vs 3.
And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the ONLY true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent as a messenger.

Mark 12 vs 29.
Jesus replied, “The most important commandment is this: ‘Listen, O Israel! The Lord OUR God is the ONE and ONLY Lord

John 14 vs 28.
You heard me say, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.

Luke 18 vs 19.
Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone.

Mathew 24 vs 36.
But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son Jesus, but only the Father God.

Why Did Jesus Die?

Jesus died so that humans could have their sins forgiven and receive endless life. (Romans 6:​23; Ephesians 1:7) Jesus’ death also proved that a human can remain loyal to God even when faced with the severest of tests.​—Hebrews 4:​15.

Consider how the death of one man could accomplish so much.

Jesus died for “the forgiveness of our sins.”​—Colossians 1:​14.

The first human, Adam, was created perfect, without sin. However, he chose to disobey God. Adam’s disobedience, or sin, profoundly affected all his descendants. “Through the disobedience of the one man,” the Bible explains, “many were made sinners.”​—Romans 5:​19.

Jesus was also perfect, but he never sinned. Therefore, he could be “an atoning sacrifice for our sins.” (1 John 2:2) Just as Adam’s disobedience contaminated the human family with sin, so Jesus’ death removed the stain of sin from all who exercise faith in him.

In a sense, Adam sold the human race into sin. Jesus, by willingly dying in our behalf, repurchased humankind as his own. As a result, “if anyone does commit a sin, we have a helper with the Father, Jesus Christ, a righteous one.”​—1 John 2:1.

Jesus died “so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life.”​—John 3:​16.

Although Adam was created to live forever, his sin brought upon him the penalty of death. Through Adam, “sin entered into the world and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because they had all sinned.”​—Romans 5:​12.

In contrast, Jesus’ death not only removed the blemish of sin but also canceled the death sentence for all who exercise faith in him. The Bible sums up matters this way: “Just as sin ruled as king with death, so also undeserved kindness might rule as king through righteousness leading to everlasting life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”​—Romans 5:​21.

Of course, humans today still have a limited life span. However, God promises that he will grant righteous humans everlasting life and resurrect the dead so that they too can benefit from Jesus’ sacrificial death.​—Psalm 37:29; 1 Corinthians 15:22.

Jesus “became obedient to the point of death,” thus proving that a human could be faithful to God under any test or trial.​—Philippians 2:8.

Despite having a perfect mind and body, Adam disobeyed God because he selfishly desired something that did not belong to him. (Genesis 2:​16, 17; 3:6)

Later, God’s chief enemy, Satan, suggested that no human would unselfishly obey God, especially if his life were on the line. (Job 2:4) Yet, the perfect man Jesus obeyed God and remained loyal to him, even undergoing a disgraceful and painful death. (Hebrews 7:​26) This completely settled the matter: A human can remain faithful to God under whatever test or trial may be brought upon him.

Questions about Jesus’ death

Why did Jesus have to suffer and die to redeem humans?
Why didn’t God just cancel the death sentence?

God’s law states that “the wages sin pays is death.” (Romans 6:​23) Rather than hide this law from Adam, God told him that the penalty for disobedience would be death. (Genesis 3:3) When Adam sinned, God, “who cannot lie,” kept his word. (Titus 1:2) Adam passed on to his descendants not only sin but also the wages of sin​—death.

Although sinful humans deserve the penalty of death, God extended to them “the riches of his undeserved kindness.” (Ephesians 1:7) His provision to redeem mankind​—sending Jesus as a perfect sacrifice​—was both profoundly just and supremely merciful.

When did Jesus die?

Jesus died at “the ninth hour” from sunrise, or at about three o’clock in the afternoon of the Jewish Passover. (Mark 15:33-​37) That date corresponds to Friday, April 1, 33 C.E., according to modern calendars.

Where did Jesus die?

Jesus was executed at “the so-called Skull Place, which is called Golʹgo·tha in Hebrew.” (John 19:17, 18) This site was “outside the city gate” of Jerusalem in Jesus’ day. (Hebrews 13:12) It may have been on a hill, since the Bible says that some observed Jesus’ execution “from a distance.” (Mark 15:40) However, the present location of Golgotha cannot be determined with certainty.

How did Jesus die?

Although many believe that Jesus was crucified​—executed on a cross​—the Bible reports: “His own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree.” (1 Peter 2:​24, King James Version) Bible writers used two Greek words to refer to the instrument of Jesus’ execution​—stau·rosʹ and xyʹlon. Many scholars have concluded that these words refer to a beam or an upright stake made of one piece of wood.

How should Jesus’ death be remembered?

On the night of the annual Jewish Passover, Jesus instituted a simple procedure with his followers and commanded them: “Keep doing this in remembrance of me.” (1 Corinthians 11:24) Hours later, Jesus was put to death.

Bible writers compared Jesus to the lamb sacrificed at the Passover. (1 Corinthians 5:7) Just as the Passover celebration reminded the Israelites that they had been freed from slavery, so the Memorial of Jesus Christ’s death reminds Christians that they have been freed from sin and death. The Passover, held on Nisan 14 according to the lunar calendar, was a yearly celebration; the early Christians likewise observed the Memorial once each year.

Annually, on the date corresponding to Nisan 14, millions of people worldwide commemorate Jesus’ death.




Can I ask a question?

What happens to those who died before Jesus was born...

So the didn't believe in Jesus because the didn't see him and know him not?
Re: Why Did Jesus Die? by BnQoyyim(m): 11:08am On Apr 16, 2023
This man (son of man) didn't want to die.

Mathew 26. [39] And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

Also in Luke 24:42.

Anyone Hung Upon A Pole Is Under God’s Curse:” Deuteronomy 21:22-23 in Old and New testament.

It seems you don't know that Muslims respect Jesus more than Christians do, Muslims adore and respect all prophet of God and will never speak I'll of them, all of the negative comments you see here are done by atheist who were once Christians, that's why they can easily quote any bible verse and break it down for the ignorant Christians to understand that the white man religion is full of crack and bull stories that don't add up.

I don't disagree but did anywhere in the Bible say Jesus is God?

That's where the confusion started.

But you are taught that Jesus is not your Mediator by Watchtower. You also don't acknowledge that he is the means to Salvation as the word Messiah implies. Watchtower teaches you that Salvation is only by following the JW Organisation. In other words, your organisation has replaced Jesus which is a warning given by the same Jesus to beware of people who would do so. You also barely mention Jesus.

Recently, a speaker in a Morning Worship video in your website says that the Voice of your Freemason Governing body is the voice of Jesus and submitting to them means submitting to Jesus. In other words, Governing Body = Jesus. So, make that make sense.





Which watchtower says Jesus is not a Mediator?
JW is not an organisation own by an individual who then tell you what to do without following God's righteous standards.

We believe that Jesus is real, and he has come to fulfill the Messiah prophecy, without having the accurate knowledge of his father and him, it will be difficult to gain everlasting life.


Mind you, some of the attached that you pasted are not from JW, they are from apostate who mission is to bring confession to people who just want to tarnish God's word and people.

Jesus once said an enemy will come at night to plant weed among the wheat.... he said he will allow them to grow but when the right time comes it will be separated and destroyed.

Many have come out to say despicable things and published some untruthful words about JW.

But ask yourself, why are they doing all this things?

Are JW part of worlds problems?
Are JW teachings support the Bible truth?

The pharisees who are religious leader in the time of Jesus hated him because he preached the truth and never supported him because Jesus refuse to be part of there false traditional teachings.


Jesus is not the world problem, they hated and persecuted him. We JW are not exempted, so many people will say many things about his true followers.


Feel free to ask questions or better still Check out the most multilingual website in the world jw.org


We never ask for money or do things for monetary gain.... we only focus on teach people the truth about is words.

Don't teach what is not in the scripture and don't act like Judas or the pharisees by hating God's people for no reason.

As a JW, you don't even know your doctrine. But an outsider knows it better than you. That's shameful. You must have been sleeping and you don't read your publications. Go to your website and type on the search bar Jesus Mediator. Then read your articles. That is the assignment I have given you. All these long words you typed are not needed.

Jesus died because he committed blasphemy and treason. He claimed to be the son of God when the Jews knew it was impossible for God to have a son.

He claimed to be King of the Jews. Remember Abiola was imprisoned by Abacha for declaring himself president. Same as carrying out a coup d'etat.

Person die wake up three days later and became hero, is that one a sacrifice.
When I hear sacrifice it often bewilders me. What is sacrifice in dying knowing that you will wake up three days later?
They say it is the biggest sacrifice ever. When he simply died and went back to meet his mentally unstable blood thirsty father.
He was supposed to die and never been seen again in any part of the universe
