brocab: This time around gently, Comprehend the highlighted part. Emphasis on " No ONE " and " UNLESS " Now the question again: If No one will enter the kingdom of God UNLESS they are born again , Is Moses and David Born again ? Will they enter the Kingdom of God ? Take note: No one . ( that nullify your old and new convenant explanation ) 1 Like |

Barristter07: Since you know where they are you can tell us. You can also tell us if they are born again since you know the answer. Your own is to be asking question that answers are not even stated in the Bible so you can defend your speculation as being correct. You can tell us where David and moses are presently. I know bible was silent on where Moses and David are presently You can also tell us whether they where born again or not. I also know that Bible did not state such. The next thing to do is bring out your governing body speculation that they are not even sure of. 1 Like |

Barristter07: Bible said no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born again. Your magazine now told you to ask people if Moses and David will enter the kingdom of God or if they are born again. What's the bible's position on David and moses being born again or entering kingdom of God? Answer is Bible didn't say anything about these. |

brocab:Good to hear that Sir! It's OK that everyone carries the Bible and explained it as 'the spirit' grants them the interpretations,so each person is FREE to make a public presentation of what 'the spirit' reveals to him without trying to deprive others from considering interpretations from other sources! And publicly accusing,cursing or insulting believers from some other sources should be outlawed because it could lead to serious conflicts just as we're hearing many cases in the northern part of Nigeria. Jesus is from Nazareth{Israel},he lived 2,000 years ago,all that anyone can say about him is within what's recorded in the Bible. I think since everyone can read it,simple presentations is enough to help interested persons to know who Jesus is without insulting,cursing or accusing others! 1 Like |

TATIME:Perhaps what he meant to say is all those different religious organization remain silent whenever they publicly declare them false unlike the JWs whose beliefs are well known by majority due to their persistence! Because i can't grasp what the term NONE DENOMINATION meant if all those religious groups has individuals strictly attending specific churches as members If the none denomination arrangement is for REAL how come some aren't members of CAN? Because a fellow agent made me know that there are religious groups who deliberately refused to join the Christian Association of Nigeria(CAN). I was shocked when he said it's not only JWs as i guessed but churches like DEEPERLIFE too! 2 Likes |

None denominational yet thousands of different churches having contradicting doctrines and conflicting teachings! Only JWs are the offenders here since they refused to bow to their complicating TRINITY confusion!

That's exactly what's happening,because despite having different line of thought they all bow down to the TRINITY! No wonder Achorladey can't distinguish between the Churches, he only castigate JWs unlike Olaadegbu who keeps posting different threads condemning other TRINITY churches like Catholics! Hmmm definitely Deeperlife has something strange but due to forming alliance against JWs they won't come out openly against others for now! They're NOT member of CAN,is that not strange? 2 Likes |

Maximus69:The Truth is Kumuyi was a disfellowshiped JW! He wanted to make his church holier than JWs,that's why he added all the traditions of the churches like holy women just like Catholic nuns *no make ups *no jewelries *no hairdos *always cover their heads He also added some JW teachings but many don't notice it,for instance Deeperlife members can't explain why the church don't celebrate Xmas,Birthdays like other churches. The funniest part,around 1970s a Watchtower was released with the picture of a television as something that's to be careful about, and since Kumuyi is no more in the organization he couldn't understand what the GB meant so Mr Kumuyi told his church people to get rid of all their TVs! Please ask a member to provide the late 80s/early 90s of their publications,all the drawings were photocopies from a Watchtower publication entitled 'You can live forever in Paradise on earth' So Kumuyi was trailing every move of the JWs,even since the then pioneers and traveling overseers aren't married,Kumuyi didn't marry until he heard that those brothers later got married that's when he got married and 90% of his disciples got married afterwards. So his principal religion for condemnation is JWs, since he knows that the only organization that's ahead of all his {holier than thou} arrangement is JWs! But trust Jehovah now,if it's not the original it can never be as firm,strong and reliable as the original! 1 Like 1 Share |

Though i can't say it's true or false for now but i think i'm getting a clue on why the Deeperlife has been on top of all TRINITARIANS. Hmmm no matter how you twisted the teachings of the JWs,it will still stand out as different from all that of the churches! So Pastor Kumuyi had a JW background! No wonder everything is according to the Watchtower pattern,the only difference is the TRINITY! Otherwise most people would have discovered this for long,but if he never added the reigning trend like the incomprehensible TRINITY doctrine that's catching the people,crowds won't flock in to join his church. But what will be his gain after all these? I heard he said something like removing all the things he added to his doctrines before he dies,now i'm getting the clearer picture,! Perhaps he's scared after deceiving those people all this while,and now he is old! |

Maximus69: Maximus69: Good morning Mr Achorladey,how are you Sir? Achorladey: Hope your day has been kind Maximus69: Please Sincerity and Honesty has really helped faithful servants of God throughout in the history of God's people. Achorladey: Good point. Maximus69: I said it before that this your so called 'NONE DENOMINATION' gesture has flaws considering your posts Sir. Achorladey: I hope I get to see the flaws as I follow your response to my post. Maximus69: Firstly you forgot that the so called 'mind~reading' gadget wasn't invented by JWs, it's what the CIA has been using for long Achorladey: you have added more details to post I responded to earlier. You wrote the experience of an individual on that post named "YO", was it a live experience or an experience relayed to you or what? That aside, in the post you are responding to, was it stated that the JWs are the inventors of the machine? Maximus69: but the scientists from Asia{where majority are atheists} only developed it further. Achorladey: More update on your previous post, So your are aware that it's majority of the scientist that are atheists that developed it, so how did this in any way in my previous post states it was the invention of the Jws. Maximus69: Now with the new technology they can examine the level of goodwill or hatred you secretly harbor towards people of other faith. Achorladey: So you would have me develop FAITH in MAN MADE CRAFTINESS to know the GOODWILL or HATRED that people all over the World have about other people's faith when Hebrews 4:12 written close to 2000 years states something your Machine cannot do. Maximus69:So JWs never approved it as something that's divine since it's the handiwork of ATHEISTS! Achorladey: You are the one marketing the MACHINE for me as it were, I never said the machine is HANDIWORK of JWs. Maximus69: Secondly Jesus taught his followers to love their neighbour as themselves, of course this teacher lives by his own teachings, Achorladey: A good case of practice what you preach. Jesus Christ is indeed a PERFECT example to follow concerning that. 1 Peter 2:21 Maximus69: he made it clear that it's ONLY those who are related to him by faith that are his REAL FAMILIES no matter where such a person comes from. Achorladey: What is the FAITH of JESUS CHRIST? Maximus69: Matthew 12:47-50 Achorladey: 46 While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to him. 47 Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you.” 48 He replied to him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” 49 Pointing to his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. 50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.” Jesus made a case for us all to be CALLED his BROTHERS and SISTERS and MOTHER as long as we do the WILL of the FATHER. What is the WILL of the FATHER.......John 6:40..... For this is the WILL of MY FATHER, that EVERYONE who RECOGNIZES the SON and EXERCISES FAITH in HIM should have EVERLASTING LIFE, and I will RESURRECT him on the LAST DAY.” Oga Maximus69 you agree? Are you among Jesus' brothers in line with what your Bible study conductor must have thought you which is in line with what the GOVERNING BODY teach? Maximus69: Surely Jesus sees all other PERSONS as NEIGHBOURS and that INCLUDES those related to him by BLOOD but failed to relate with him in faith. Achorladey: Where did Jesus state that Mary and all of Jesus brothers as recorded in the Matthew you cited are just NEIGHBOURS? Maximus69: Jehovah's Witnesses are following that same pattern today, if you're not a JW you can be their colleague, worker, boss, co~tenant, doctor, teacher, worker e.t.c what you need to iron out is the differences in beliefs since that is where friction is possible, and when that is done you'll enjoy the company of JWs always. Achorladey: Other Christian denominations or non denominated Christians don't follow suit or follow the same pattern abi? Maximus69: Why most people do have problems with JWs is PESTERING them to do something that's against their faith,instead why not allow for a friendly discussion to ascertain what your JW neighbour won't tolerate? Achorladey: Since your days on nairaland platforms you have not seen those who admits that JWS are also CULPRIT in PESTERING people from HOUSE to HOUSE even when the HOUSEHOLDER made it clear enough that they are not interested or not WILLING to accept Jws MESSAGE and are equally not INTERESTED. hmmmmmmmm. Why do JWS go back to those houses again? Maximus69: That's why i said from the onset 'their strategy is the best when talking about beliefs', Achorladey: what strategy? the machine test strategy? Hmmmmmm. Maximus69: if you want to see the best of neighbours,just stay clear from pestering a JW to go against the teachings of their GB,block all avenues for further religious discussions after knowing their dos and donts and you'll be best of friends! Achorladey: and this your conditional statement is the ONE SHOE size fit all. There are numerous people out there that care less about what Jws believe yet the people living around such Jws still complain concerning having them as neighbours. Maximus69:.I don't think Jesus meant anything more than that when he said 'love your neighbour as yourself' Achorladey: Go and read the good Samaritan aspect on how Jesus used that short story to teach who really is MY NEIGHBOR. Bring up your findings here. |
Re: "How Can One Witness To A Jehovah's Witness?" by achorladey: 10:48pm On Mar 14, 2019 |
Maximus69: Maximus69: @achorladey Achorladey: Yes! Maximus69: This is social media so we can't relate as neighbours since we don't know nor see one another, had it been we live close to one another then we must relate somehow and i believe that must be as neighbours. Achorladey: I want to agree with you to SOME EXTENT and you should also be AWARE that the CHARACTER we have shown REPEATEDLY HERE over time CARRIES to SOME extent the KIND and some REFLECTION of who we REALLY ARE. Maximus69: We can always avoid anything that has to do with worship since our thoughts differs regarding sacred services. Achorladey: If I task you on what those sacred service are, can you troubleshoot it using the pages of the BIBLE. I don't think I have forced someone to come and worship the way I worship and I don't think I have stated anywhere for others on the thread to stop going to the meetings of JWS. Maximus69: Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar wanted to force everyone under him to worship his God{Satanic influence} while the beliefs of Jews is against bowing to images. Achorladey: Okay! Maximus69: Surely Shadrak,Meshak and Abednego would have worshiped along with the others IF THERE IS NOTHING WRONG IN THE SETTING. Achorladey: But YOU and I know that there are plenty things wrong in the SETTING in that ACCOUNT. Nothing to sort out here. Were we to add NEBUCHADNEZZAR PRIDE and ARROGANCE in that account it will only add to the WRONGNESS. Maximus69: Nebuchadnezzar UNDOUBTEDLY ENJOYED the COMPANY of these three HEBREWS but something is driving his thoughts against them now that it has to do with worship. Achorladey: To what length NEBUCHADNEZZAR ENJOYED the COMPANY of the THREE Hebrews I can't tell, I don't want to SPECULATE or ASSUME things not clearly STATED just like you want me to do. Regarding what was DRIVING NEBUCHADNEZZAR thought to set the the GARGANTUAN IMAGE, it also falls ON YOUR SPECULATION and YOUR ASSUMPTIONS that are not CLEARLY stated in the SCRIPTURES. Perhaps you might want to read the book of DANIEL CHAPTER 3 where THIS ACCOUNT was RECORDED. Your findings will be APPRECIATED here. Maximus69 Please try to VISUALISE yourself in the SCENE, Achorladey: There is nothing here to VISUALIZE. Nobody is putting a GARGANTUAN IMAGE before me to BOW down to NEITHER am I SETTING up one for PEOPLE to bow to. Maximus69: (1)if you are one of the three Hebrews. (2)if you are Nebuchadnezzar. Achorladey: Nothing of note here too Maximus69: i'm sure you'll get a clearer picture! Achorladey: Before you get to this part of your post you will had a better picture than the one you want to paint or draw. |

achorladey:Exactly just what i discerned about you! Please we're neighbours if we live close to one another and have nothing evil against one another,but we're brothers when we have many things in common! Jesus clearly said 'who is my mother?' well i worked with the intelligence and i perfectly understood what that means when someone utter such in the presence of his mother publicly! So if you can't understand what he meant by that,then it's better to see you as the person living in the neighbourhood NOT my relation in thought{spiritual brother}! You even said the Bible didn't say specifically that Nebuchadnezzar enjoyed the company of the three Hebrews! Please what exactly do you understand in the Bible if you can't discern that? Nebuchadnezzar changed the names of these three youths from Hannaniah,Mishael and Azariah to Shadrack,Meshak and Abednego. He ordered that they should be served as royalties and you say you can't notice how he enjoyed their company Sorry Sir you better remain my neighbour NOT my brother in Christ because i need spiritual brothers with whom i can rub minds spiritually speaking,to gain more INSIGHT on the scriptures.

OLAADEGBU:Hmmm, From Janosky's post i can discern that Jesus purposely brought a body that would convince (DOUBTFUL) Thomas that he has been resurrected! If angels appeared to Abraham,Jacob and Lot. If those angels ate PHYSICAL food before them and they can touch those angels, surely any other angel can equally materialise or dematerialize for a purpose! So Jesus never brought in those wounds to prove before all his disciples that he has been resurrected but to help only one person,and that is Thomas who said 'unless i stick my finger into those nail wounds,i won't believe' John 20:25 You keep asking a childish question regarding NAIL but i've notice you're not sincere just because of the old tradition you want to believe. If Jesus died on a STAKE that means two NAILS will suffice during his execution,and if on a CROSS it will be three NAILS, either way what will still be recorded is NAILS not NAIL! 2 Likes 1 Share |

Janosky:Janosky! Well if you feel like responding to that gibberish i won't object,but know one thing today that the Bible was written by Israelites,it contains their biography and dealings with their God and anyone from any part of this earth can trust or ignore their book! But before TRUSTING the Bible, you first need to know the God in question because our forefathers also have their own Gods respectively! Therefore TRUST came in as a result of what you've heard and experienced amongst those worshiping that God! Joshua 2:9-13 If he is not honest and sincere in his research about how Jesus actually died,surely his posts has no meaning. Moreover i can relax and have a deeeeeep sleep in my room peacefully if i heard that JWs are all over the my street because i'm sure they'll only knock on my gates and take their leave if no one responds to their call,but i won't feel relax if it is Muslims because they won't go unnoticed and they're unpredictable.

It's appropriate to distinguish between this two words ¤Brothers ¤Neighbours While the first had many things in common,they often relate with each other,other people notice the connection between them and so can make positive or negative reports about a one individuals to his brother on many occasions. Neighbours are people living next to you,you only relate with them when necessary,most times you just greet and walk away. Some neighbours might live all their lives without having anything to do with each other than mere greeting! So the Samaritan showed he love his neighbour by making sure of his well being but afterwards he might walk away and never see each other again. But that's not applicable to brothers,as they must ask after or call on each other from time to time! For instance there are so many living closeby as neighbours but how many do we call on like brothers? Jesus said 'love you neighbour as yourself' Mark 12:31 but to brothers{Christians as in those having the same faith} Jesus gave a NEW law saying you MUST love your brother JUST AS I HAVE LOVED YOU. John 13:34,35 Surely Jesus died for his brothers and his law says the same to those claiming brothers in Christ,but regarding neighbours Jesus didn't expect a christian to die for their love! We try our best for them and run if our lives is in danger for trying to save neighbours! Matthew 10:23 To the best of my understanding! 1 Like |

Maximus69: You even said the Bible didn't say specifically that Nebuchadnezzar enjoyed the company of the three Hebrews! Achorladey: Just cite the scriptures that state SPECIFICALLY that NEBUCHADNEZZAR enjoyed the company of the three HEBREWS. Maximus69: Please what exactly do you understand in the Bible if you can't discern that? Achorladey: What is there to discern in Daniel chapter 3 that is so difficult that youv EXPECT me to ADD ASSUMPTIONS and SPECULATIONS. The portion bordering on Matthew 12: 47-50 and John 6:40 I mentioned above nko? Do you agree with Jesus Christ Understanding about who are HIS BROTHERS? Maximus69: Nebuchadnezzar changed the names of these three youths from Hannaniah,Mishael and Azariah to Shadrack,Meshak and Abednego. He ordered that they should be served as royalties and you say you can't notice how he enjoyed their company Achorladey: At what point did the 3 HEBREWS have there name changed in the account of Daniel? and what point do they attain royalties that made them ENJOYED the COMPANY of the king? Oga Maximus69 Daniel chapter 1-3 is still in your Bible do well to read it again. Maximus69: Sorry Sir you better remain my neighbour NOT my brother in Christ because i need spiritual brothers with whom i can rub minds spiritually speaking,to gain more INSIGHT on the scriptures. Achorladey: The relationship I have with you as Christian is clearly stated in the scriptures cited previously and here, what I chose to REMAIN is for me to decide just as you have clearly stated previously that I am NOT a Christian from your viewpoint. I am not forcing you against your WILL either. So what we have been discussing all these while on this thread is PHYSICAL. Hahahahahaha, and you were citing scriptures too. E get as e be! Maximus69: Good morning! Achorladey: Enjoy the rest of your day. |

achorladey:Peaple from different cultures on earth studied nature,and afterwards makes laws based on their various understanding! Those whose line of thought are in agreement sees one another as brothers since it's the same rules that governs them,but ones their is contradicting ideas on the conclusion of some tribe and others about nature, they're known as neighbours only. I think the same applies here Sir,because you read the Bible and i also read the same Bible,your understanding of it totally differs from mine. So instead of arguing,it's better we see each other as neighbours studying the same thing but have divers opinions and that is if we live close to each other! I agreed completely with brocab's conclusion,we're not on the same page so each person goes and worship his God the best way he knows since our God is NOT the same! And that doesn't mean one shouldn't wish the other well,if your God said those who aren't worshiping as stated are going to hellfire,let's leave it at that until then. If my God says those who disagree with the GB will be destroyed,let's leave it at that until then! So for now i've never seen you nor know where you live therefore we're both strangers to each other NOT even neighbours since we don't live close to one another! |

Maximus69: Maximus69: We may be attending different churches but we agree on the essential doctrines of the Bible. As for JW's and other cults, they are on their own. 1 Like 1 Share

Maximus69: Why would Jesus 'purposely' bring a body so as to deceive 'doubtful' Thomas that He has physically resurrected? Maximus69: Do angels have flesh and bones, since you believe Jesus is angel Michael? Maximus69: Blessed are those who believe that Jesus resurrected in the flesh without seeing the physical evidence of the prints of nails in His hands. Maximus69: Let me correct your wrong assumptions. If Jesus died on a STAKE that means one nail will suffice during His execution. If He died on a CROSS it will be two NAILS. Hence the mark of two nails on His hands.
