CAPTIVATOR:You took the verse in isolation of the whole passage which rather says that the dead were called out from their graves (both on land and in the seas) to face judgement after which the ones found wanting were thrown into the lake of fire for second death. Here it is: 13. Then the sea gave up its dead. Death and the world of the dead also gave up the dead they held. And all were judged according to what they had done. 14. Then death and the world of the dead were thrown into the lake of fire. (This lake of fire is the second death.) 15. Those who did not have their name written in the book of the living were thrown into the lake of fire. Also read Mathew 13 where Jesus told the parable of wheat and tares and in verse 30 he said "Let the wheat and the weeds both grow together until harvest. Then I will tell the harvest workers to pull up the weeds first, tie them in bundles and burn them". You might say that Jesus was not talking about fire in the literal sense here since he was using a parable. However, verse 36 of that same passage says: When Jesus had left the crowd and gone indoors, his disciples came to him and said, *Tell us what the parable about the weeds in the field means. This was a demand for literal interpretation by the disciples.. and Jesus obliged them as seen in the next verses: 37. Jesus answered, *The man who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man; 38. the field is the world; the good seed is the people who belong to the Kingdom; the weeds are the people who belong to the Evil One; 39. and the enemy who sowed the weeds is the Devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvest workers are angels. 40. Just as the weeds are gathered up and burned in the fire, so the same thing will happen at the end of the age 41. the Son of Man will send out his angels to gather up out of his Kingdom all those who cause people to sin and all others who do evil things, 42. and they will throw them into the fiery furnace, where they will cry and gnash their teeth You can see that in verse 42 which is part of his literal interpretation, Jesus mentioned fire..i.e. the fire in the parable is also fire in the literal interpretation. Why didn't he say the fire meant mere grave or Hades if that is what it means in the literal sense? That tells you it is fire in the real sense and not grave as you would have us believe. |

johnw47:Stop been scared, do what I ask you to do and the fact will emerge |
| Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: 17 Facts People Should Know About Them by Barristter07: 5:56pm On Feb 05, 2019 |
johnw47:Between That flesh and Spirit , Which is the real person of Jesus ? Question 1. ha ha ha, quadruple duh, see the tormented laughing accusing foolWell play ordinary body died BUT Jesus himself went to heaven to enjoy himself . ![]() Jesus the Word of God also went and talked to the spirits in prison while his body was in the tombWell play again, You are confessing small small ![]() So na body died ? Jesus himself went preaching , SO JESUS HIMSELF WAS NEVER DEAD. when Jesus said to mary don't touch me for i have not ascended to the FatherHe said " I " have not yet ascended I " is a personal pronoun for Jesus. Either bodily or not , He hasn't ascended. liar If he has ascended, that statement means he lied. So Jesus was lying to Mary Johnw74? Where did he say I mean bodily ? Big time liar and we know that He Jesus the Word of God did ascend to His Father in the Spirit,Asiru TU . Lie exposed .Jesus person is Spirit. . hmmm so that his body is just an ordinary carcass. The PERSON of Jesus has return to heaven , while its ordinary body that died In short, Jesus never die cos his real person is Spirit . ![]() |

achorladey:When you don't read your Bible , Sanctified by the truth of Scripture - John 17:17 Barristter07: By virtue of their teachings, they follow the step laid down by Christ through his apostles.Strong Hypocrite. Kindly answer the question pose by Captivator ?. Approved Christians follow what the bible teach, not tossed about with various teachings “ So we should no longer be children tossed about as by waves and carried here and there by every wind of teaching by means of the trickery of men, by means of cunning in deceptive schemes. 15 But speaking the truth [true teaching], let us by love grow up in all things into him who is the head, Christ” Ephesians 4;14.15 TRUE TEACHING IS ONE. BUT your manipulated congregation is filled with conflicting and contradictory wind of teachings, o ma se o , see your life outside achorladey . Barristter07: Let it sink inside your head again: Jehovah's Witnesses are CHRISTIANS.Hahahahaha. Just get the fact clear . Barristter07: The SAME CHRISTIAN CONGREGATION of that time exist today,The point here is they are Christians, the name just like the way which 1st century Christians are known as help sincere persons know those adhering to scripture. Not those tossed about with various conflicting teachings Barristter07: united brothers related in faith Galatians 6:10Poor understanding led to that question, One ( unity) faith point to united teaching. That is they are all united in belief, just as Jesus prayed before he died. One Lord point to Jesus the Christ One God point to Jehovah, the God we worship Barristter07: Before a person becomes a part of this congregation they learn about God whom we worship and Christ himself.Stop talking nonsense like my friend captivator dey talk That’s why preaching comes first, no one ever discuss the nonsense above with you or say people enter the congregation before knowing God and Jesus. Associating with Gods people comes after accurate knowledge of Christ and his Father. Not some scattered entity like achorladey preaches but a united faith. In this congregation, some take the lead says the scripture , WHO ARE THOSE TAKING THE LEAD AMONG YOU ? scattered entity, tell us those who take the lead among your group? Are you now seeing first century Christians are well organized. Question tagged A7 For the record, IT is After knowing the TRUTH, not the ones peddle about as PRESENT, PAST or FUTURE TRUTH by the JWs but the TRUTH as it revolves around JESUS the TRUTH because bearing witness ABOUT the TRUTH is WHAT inspires PROPHECY. Such individuals become pillars and support of the truth.I smell ignorance above, but I will pardon it. Tell us what IS THIS TRUTH that revolve around Jesus that the Christian congregation of Jehovahs witnesses don’t believe ? Of course your scattered entities believe he didn’t die neither do they belief he isn’t equal to God. You have really found yourself in the mud. U went outside and get isolated, who are those taking the lead among you ? Until you address this as well, you are an empty brass making noise Barristter07: Achorladey , Tell us this brothers with whom you are related in FAITH?You are only trying to deceive yourself, by “brothers “ you know the context I mean, just decide to downplay it. Jesus call those doing Gods will his brothers, but we know he started gathering them into a congregation ( he once invited a law abiding rich young man to follow him , but he didn’t) showing Gods will involve following Jesus and his direction through those taking the lead, as apostles and missionaries are sent out , congregations are formed. So who are those brothers of yours with whom you do Gods will,? Who are those taking the lead among you ? |

Deadlytruth: I thought it's the spirit/soul that go to this mythical hell , How come FLESHLY fingers and Tongues are mentioned ? Which water please, physical water or spiritual water ? |

Barristter07:In Mathew chapter 13 Jesus told people the parable of the wheat and tares and in verse 36 His disciples asked Him for literal interpretation. He obliged them and interpreted it literally telling them in verse 42 that the fire in the parable is a lake of fire literally. Look it up. |
| Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: 17 Facts People Should Know About Them by Barristter07: 6:08pm On Feb 05, 2019 |
Deadlytruth:What exactly was translated as Grave in that verse ? Also read Mathew 13 where Jesus told the parable of wheat and tares and in verse 30 he said "Let the wheat and the weeds both grow together until harvest. Then I will tell the harvest workers to pull up the weeds first, tie them in bundles and burn them".Your mythical spirit/souls Now have bones Like Teeth ? |
| Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: 17 Facts People Should Know About Them by Barristter07: 6:09pm On Feb 05, 2019 |
Deadlytruth:Chineke! You don quickly run comot from Rich man and Lazarus, as for these, addressed already. |
| Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: 17 Facts People Should Know About Them by Deadlytruth(m): 6:14pm On Feb 05, 2019 |
Barristter07:It was your fellow JW here that actually ran away from Lazarus vs the rich man to Revelations 20:13 which I decided to address with Matthew 13. Why not rather point this accusing finger to your brother? |
| Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: 17 Facts People Should Know About Them by Barristter07: 6:16pm On Feb 05, 2019 |
Deadlytruth:Go and addres my points on that rich man and Lazarus u quote. Peace! |
| Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: 17 Facts People Should Know About Them by Deadlytruth(m): 6:25pm On Feb 05, 2019 |
Barristter07:Grave in that verse is the temporary resting place of the dead from where they were called out to face final judgement before being taken to eternal life or thrown into the lake of fire. How could they have been called out of the grave and then thrown into the grave again after judgement? Then why the need to call them out of it if they were still going to be returned back there? Barristter07:You will only have the moral justification to ask me further questions only after you have answered the one I asked you first ...i.e. why did Jesus call it fire in the parable, and also called it fire in His literal interpretation to the disciples if it was mere grave or Hades? |
| Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: 17 Facts People Should Know About Them by Deadlytruth(m): 6:29pm On Feb 05, 2019 |
Barristter07:I have already addressed it with Mathew 13. You have to counter it now. Why did Jesus not change fire in the parable to Hades or grave in his literal interpretation? Is this too much to ask? |
| Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: 17 Facts People Should Know About Them by Barristter07: 6:40pm On Feb 05, 2019 |
Deadlytruth:Now go back to Captivitors post and digest it well, THE SAME word rendered GRAVE here is the sane that appeared at Luke 16. So the man could not be burning in a literal fire. Both verses have " Hades " You will only have the moral justification to ask me further questions only after you have answered the one I asked you first ...i.e. why did Jesus call it fire in the parable, and also called it fire in His literal interpretation to the disciples if it was mere grave or Hades?Of course am replying you Why did he also claim souls/spirit Have TEETH ( Bones ) in his interpretation ? Both have same answers |
| Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: 17 Facts People Should Know About Them by Deadlytruth(m): 6:42pm On Feb 05, 2019 |
Barristter07:It has been addressed. What more do you want about it? meanwhile my outstanding poser remains unaddressed by you. |
| Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: 17 Facts People Should Know About Them by Deadlytruth(m): 7:16pm On Feb 05, 2019 |
Barristter07:You can find help in Revelations 6:9-10 as below: 9. Then the Lamb broke open the fifth seal. I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed because they had proclaimed God's word and had been faithful in their witnessing. 10. They shouted in a loud voice, *Almighty Lord, holy and true! How long will it be until you judge the people on earth and punish them for killing us?* That those souls could shout and ask questions tells you clearly that they had tongues to speak and also hands and all other features. So those who say it was the soul of the rich man that went to hell and cried out for help are very correct. Oya respond now! |

Barristter07:You will just be assuming then asking questions from your assumptions so you can assume an answer to feel better. When they draw your attention to the fact that everything you have said isn't mentioned in new bible, you will the begin to quote encyclopedia. Lol |
| Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: 17 Facts People Should Know About Them by Hairyrapunzel: 7:39pm On Feb 05, 2019 |
Deadlytruth:He will soon tell you that God is spirit so god doesn't have hands, fingers or tongue and God cannot even talk. |
| Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: 17 Facts People Should Know About Them by Hairyrapunzel: 7:51pm On Feb 05, 2019 |
Barristter07:The man could not be burning in a literal fire? The bible said the man was burning in fire yet barrister07 HSS decided to assume that the man could not have been in a literal fire. Hmmm it is well. You are not even sure about your statement. If you were sure you would have made a statement like this: The man did not burn in any fire. Simple You will just come and be assuming and speculating. God has whispered to you the things you should take literal and figurative. You chose to take this parable of the rich man and Lazarus as figurative because it doesn't align with your doctrine of no hell fire if taken literally whereas you take the parable of faithful and discrete slave as literal because it agrees with your doctrine that governing body members are the faithful and discrete slave. You even have to decide for yourselves the parables even phrases you take as literal and the ones you will take as figurative. Lol Religion of cherry picking |
| Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: 17 Facts People Should Know About Them by Hairyrapunzel: 7:53pm On Feb 05, 2019 |
Barristter07:Does God have bones like teeth? I thought he was spirit? |
| Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: 17 Facts People Should Know About Them by achorladey: 9:12pm On Feb 05, 2019 |
CAPTIVATOR:CAPTIVATOR: You are talking nonsense, Achorladey: You could have just made your comment without resorting to unnecessary REMARKS. We do make SENSE out of NONSENSE sometimes. CAPTIVATOR: Where did Jesus or his apostle teach satanic doctrines like hellfire, Trinity, immortal soul etc that these denominations all preach ? Achorladey : Where did Jesus teach or the Bible clearly states.....that God has an ORGANIZATION right here on earth and uses a GOVERNING BODY to direct it and we all need to exercise faith in that ORGANIZATION, that the LAST DAYS began in 1914, that 1914 was the time when Christ was first officially enthroned as kings towards all earth and that that calendar date marks the start of his parousia? e. t. c that JWs preach? Please do tell us from which source those DOCTRINES( Jesus/ satanic). |

Barristter07:13 “I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. 14 I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. 15 My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. 17 Sanctify them by[d] the truth; your word is truth. 18 As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. 19 For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified. |
| Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: 17 Facts People Should Know About Them by Hairyrapunzel: 9:37pm On Feb 05, 2019 |
Barristter07:All these just because in your imagination your jehovah will come to gruesomely murder the people who refused to join watchtower organization and obey the imperfect, uninspired and fallible men who err in doctrinal matters and organizational direction in Armageddon. All these because in your head you believe jesus Christ came invisibly in 1914 and chose the publishing company called watchtower organization as the only true religion on earth. Your satanic doctrines no be here. |

Deadlytruth:PERSONAL differences ![]() When all those BORN AGAINST followers of Suleiman will go about telling people "it's disrespectful to be reading God's word from phones in the church" while all those BORN AGAINST followers of Oyakilomeh will go about using their smart phones,tablets and other devices to read God's word ANYWHERE ![]() My friend you deserve a trophy. It's MERE personal differences. ![]() |
| Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: 17 Facts People Should Know About Them by Hairyrapunzel: 9:52pm On Feb 05, 2019 |
TATIME:It's personal difference. It shows that Christians are not zombies. They can disagree on certain issues that are not biblical. It's not like a group that forces its members to agree on issues that are not biblical and if they don't agree they will be ostracized. |
| Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: 17 Facts People Should Know About Them by Nobody: 10:14pm On Feb 05, 2019 |
Hairyrapunzel:Hmmmmmmmm you're RIGHT Christians are not zombies! So Sule's followers can choose to ignore the admonition from their spiritual head. Hmmmmmmm no wonder FELA looked at worldly uniformed men and labelled them "ZOMBIE" because they'll always stick to the last order they received from their superior officers. Perhaps that's what being a soldier truthfully means! Please can we rightly refer to those ZOMBIES as SOLDIERS OF CHRIST? Since the are unitedly following the LAST ORDER from superior officers. ![]() |
| Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: 17 Facts People Should Know About Them by Deadlytruth(m): 10:19pm On Feb 05, 2019 |
TATIME:It's you who really deserves a trophy in manipulation. I wrote "personal opinion" but you put words into my mouth by writing "personal differences" which I never wrote. See how much you have learnt manipulation and twisting of people words and those of the Bible from your organization? For the fact that you started the above by twisting what I said, you have really said nothing. |
| Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: 17 Facts People Should Know About Them by Deadlytruth(m): 10:23pm On Feb 05, 2019 |
Hairyrapunzel:He finds it difficult to comprehend. What do you expect from someone who said when Jesus, after appearing to Paul to his way to Damascus, asked him to go into the city and be told what to do He was by that directing Paul to go back to Jerusalem to be taught by the apostles? |
| Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: 17 Facts People Should Know About Them by Nobody: 10:26pm On Feb 05, 2019 |
Deadlytruth:Hmmmmmmmmm A supposed man of God(thought to have been led by God's holy spirit) PUBLICLY condemned something that another man of God is known for. Well i'm sorry it's mere PERSONAL opinions! ![]() |
| Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: 17 Facts People Should Know About Them by Deadlytruth(m): 10:29pm On Feb 05, 2019 |
Hairyrapunzel:I am still waiting for his response. Though I will really love to see him defend himself by now quoting one encyclopedia on what early Christians believed about body, soul and spirit. |
| Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: 17 Facts People Should Know About Them by Nobody: 10:33pm On Feb 05, 2019 |
Deadlytruth:I'm sorry sir, my brains is just too slow to comprehend all these awful PERSONAL Opinions. When i hear intelligent individuals like you EFFICIENTLY criticizing a global group that's UNITEDLY moving towards the same direction ALWAYS! Ezekiel 1:12-14 compared to Revelations 14:1 |
| Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: 17 Facts People Should Know About Them by Deadlytruth(m): 10:38pm On Feb 05, 2019 |
TATIME:Even Paul The Apostle and Barnabas Acts:15:36-40 disagreed with each other over an issue that had nothing to do with doctrine. I guess that disagreement disqualified both Paul and Silas from being men of God, right? Just like Paul and Silas, the leaders of true Christian Churches are not slaves to a publishing company which dictates what their opinions should be on even extra-doctrinal matters. |
