Courz:
In the screenshot posted by Emusan, you confidently said the Bible was compiled by people, therefore, this makes the Bible not inspired by God and filled with errors. You said the word Bible means compiled by people and not what is inspired by God. You were redefining the word Bible again as if we don't know what it means. Don't twist anything here. Can you confidently say this in your Kingdom Hall when you are given a talk about the Bible? You can see why your fellow JWS call you an Apostate.

Maximus692:
If the Bible (translation of inspired writings) is without an error then why do you have so many versions?
Why can't all so called Christians agree on one version of the Bible?
Well if you must know this is why JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES have to translate their own and called it New World Translation Of The Holy Scriptures!

MaxInDHouse:
Funny apostate!

Translation error led to thousands of different religions with contradicting teachings and conflicting doctrines all claiming believers in just one book yet they are fighting and killing themselves over politics and racism and suddenly the light started getting brighter and brighter until an organization is fulfilling what God promised.
But trust Satan's agents they will still find faults even though they can't form a single group to work together yet they will be going about complaining about the fine works of God's organization!🙂

Emusan:
This is what he actually meant but see how he wants to change the narrative!

Emusan:
Exactly!

But as usual he was just rambling to elevate NWT as he has swallowed his vomit.

That is the reason he kept blocking people who can expose his lying.

Courz:
You cannot lie here because there is already proof of different JWs calling you an Apostate. One had to create a thread to expose you and warned people never to take you seriously. He called you an imposter to your face. He said your sole mission here in Nairaland is to disgrace JW. Don't come here to lie. Emusan come and see o. He is now beginning to say no JW called him an Apostate. Wonders shall never end.

MightySparrow:
This is another erroneous teaching. I read only the introduction and the definitions of the key terms and stopped reading.

1. Righteousness in the sight of God is not 'right doings' or moral codes. All have sinned and come short of God's glory.

When you study the Bible, you will discover that after Adam and Eve were ousted out of the Garden of Eden, it was man looking for God. No one taught Cain and Abel to offer sacrifices. They did it to look for God. One passed, the other failed. Lamech s conscience pricked him and passed judgment on himself for unaliving a person. Seth's time marked a time people began to call on God. God, Himself saw the struggles man in locating and understanding and having a relationship with Him. He located Enoch, the seventh from Adam ( not the third from the line of Cain).
He pleased God and became God's favorite. Then Noah built on that and God called him to further Enoch's evangelical works and God established a standard for judging the world and made an agreement with all creatures through him.
Then came Abraham, the fourteenth from Adam. God called him made a family covenant with Abraham. Abraham believed only promises, and it was counted for righteousness. Gen. 15:6
Then chose the line of Jacob.
God gave them commandments. They misbehaved. Phineas killed the people involved and that act earned him righteousness.

Ps.106.30 - Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed.
Ps.106.31 - And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.

The question now is what is the biblical definition of righteousness?
The belief or the killing?

None. It is the qualification that God gives per time. The pass mark he gives. Moses was given commandments for Israel, he added his own laws, The Laws of Moses. It was never called the Laws of God. Jesus came and refuted some of them: the stonings for adulterous acts, sabbath, tithing taking too far, dressing of religious leaders etc.

Deut.31.26 - Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee.
Deut.31.27 - For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the LORD; and how much more after my death?



Moses made those Laws in his zeal to make people obey God as it is today. There are some man - made inferential laws and doctrinal practices that churches and organizations employed to control their members.

However, righteousness is dependent only on God per time and dispensation. Before the law, people would be judged by their conscience.

Rom.2.14 - For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
Rom.2.15 - Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another

The issue of righteousness should be seen in the light of the Bible especially skin the letters of Paul who is our own Apostle.

Righteousness of a Christian is a gift from Jesus. The Jews in the time of Jesus did not understand this as many churches and organizations today.

Romans 10:3-10
[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.
[4]For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
[5]For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
[6]But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above
[7]Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
[8]But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
[9]That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
[10]For with the heart man believe unto righteousness.

Ephesians 2:8[b]
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Unrighteousness and wickedness are one and the same thing.

When you accept Jesus as the ransome payer, who paid in your behalf. You are righteous. Righteousness of faith. That is the foundation you build on. Add to your Faith.,.,..'.

There are many who have left the righteousness of faith and still establishing their own.

Righteousness is standing before God with no reason to blush. The entrance has been paid for. Righteousness is more of positional than activities.

Janosky:
All the names in your post who had a close relationship with Jehovah God were counted righteous in old & new testaments. Mr Sparrow, can you name anyone of them who had ZERO WORKS to prove their faith?

MaxInDHouse:
They are trying to rebrand their images on Nairaland as they've become inactive for having nothing tangible to type for so long.😀

MightySparrow:
That is exactly your problem. What is the difference between Old Testament and New Testament or rather differences between Covenant and Testament? You just want to force rubbish down people's throats.

Renewed delusion.

Janosky:
Oga,did Paul performed his missionary ministry by playing draft in your market square?

Did Jesus fulfil Jehovah's assignment by spending his life time in the carpentry business?

What work was Jesus doing at John 4:34?

Jesus did works,the disciples did works but Mr Sparrow won't do works.

Just continue deceiving yourself & mislead others.

MightySparrow:
Why don't you counter my response and correct what you think is wrong?

Are these ranting damage control?

Hebrews 11:1-9 &;John 4:34 is in your Bible.

Abel did works ,Jesus did works,Abraham did works. Paul did works to prove their faith.
Which works has Sparrow done to prove his faith?
Sparrow no dey do works.


Oga, stop deceiving yourself.

Janosky:
Faith in Action
11 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. 2 This is what the ancients were commended for.

3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.

4 By faith Abel brought God a better offering than Cain did. By faith he was commended as righteous, when God spoke well of his offerings. And by faith Abel still speaks, even though he is dead.

5 By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death: “He could not be found, because God had taken him away.”[a] For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. 6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

7 By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. [/b]By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that is in keeping with faith.

8 [b]By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. 9 By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise"
