You quoted acts 20 vs 28.
Could you explain that verse in relation to Christ being Jehovah?


The verse is self-explanatory. If you don't understand it, feel free to consult your Greek commentaries.

Are you deliberately trying not to understand or avoid what am saying?
It never said it will burn death and grave. Instead, it said, They will first be brought back to life. That is, they will become human first. While in human flesh their name will be checked in the book of life if their name is not found in the book of life( Which was based on how they lived their life before they died) they will be cast into the lack of fire. Rev 20:14,15.

Pathetic indeed!

So death and grave will become humans first so that their names could be searched for in the book of life whether they did what is good or evil shey? undecided

Why not just keep shut and learn? embarassed

The Jehovah Witnesses are trying to be clever by half,even their Bible so different!
1.the OP says 'no basis for Trinity-a lie from bottom of hell.Jesus said'any sin is forgiven,but against the Holy Spirit is not'
-One (Romans 9v1)-what is Paul saying here's Conscience as Witnessed by of Holy Spirit- so your members only believed in the Flesh,no wander,Jesus told Peter ' this was revealed to you-not by Flesh or Blood,but by the Spirit.2Corth 13v14-Communion of Holy Spirit!
2.They don't believe in being Born-Again! Yet without no one can enter the Kingdom of God.(John3v1-15)
3.The Jehovah Witnesses are just hereon Earth-according to them 'to possessed the world!
-the drink and can get drunk
-the carry girls without restraint,since they don't believed in Holy Spirit.How can you believed in the Teaching of Christ,yet not ready to teach Holy Spirit?
So,don't allow people to be obstacles to your Heavenly race!





1. You yourself have made a distinction between Jesus and the Holy Spirit, sir.
.
2. Being born-again means many things to many people so we don't accept a generic sense of whatever meaning people accord to it unless an individual is to explain what it means to them. What does it mean to you?
.
3. We are drinkers, not drunks. We have wives, not whores. We do everything others do but legally and in line with the bible, eg. we drink with limits; about sex, for the married alone; we train our kids the best way; we have the best family of Christian association; we have the best friends, we have the best God -- we are Jehovah's Witnesses! (yet you just hate us because you came to learn people don't like us without any reasons of anything wrong we did. You hate us because we come knocking on your doors out of love so you and us may live eternally. You hate us because we carry bag in hot sun to meet you. You hate us for nothing).
.
Thanks for reminding me I found the truth. You are welcome, sir.

You've not found the truth yet. The truth is not found in that organisation. I hope you find the truth revealed in the Bible, not in the Jehovah Witness New World Translation.
I think you have spoken well. What's the name of your church so I may consider?

His generic claims are false, ma. We don't stomach any sorts of entertainment against our beliefs -- we don't welcome vulgar, violent or immoral sorts of entertainment. About gospel music as said, we cannot embraces songs that credit what we don't believe too; songs of trinity, Christmas etc.


All the gospel songs don't sing about Christmas and Trinity. Are you talking about all the songs or specific ones?

I don't know how some people can be so stupid just because you want to prove a point then you now intentionally render your conscience dead! embarassed

If God should transform death and hell to humans then they'll both be questioned for killing and burying or what exactly will they be questioned for?

Please Churchgoers are not normal o, no wonder ATHEISM is fast gaining more people, how can a sane person hear that and still remain in their midst?

Funny u.
Paul was teaching his fellow brethren about being selfless just as he had been in the spreading and teaching of God's word over Christ Jesus Church (congregation) which He (Christ) bought with his blood.

Start your reading from acts 20 vs 19 to 27 so as to get the understanding of verse 28.
The new International Version
I served the Lord with great humility and with tears and in the midst of severe testing by the plots of my Jewish opponents.

Acts 20 Vs 24
However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me--the task of testifying to the good news of God's grace.

Stop the cherry picking and read through to understand.

Honestly I'm still confused on that issue because some part of scripture say that but another says something else. But let me ask you this. The gift of God is eternal life to those that are saved. Are sinners in eternal punishment not also eternally alive? According to your standing, even the damned have eternal life
The bible is not contradictory. The wicked will be cut off not tormented externally.

@The bold, I think both the damned and the saved would have eternal life. Only difference is former will be in eternal gnashing of teeth and sorrow while the latter would enjoy eternal life in peace and joy. My take tho

Elijah and Elisha both performed miracles involving resurrection during their lifetime but they both died and those they resurrected!

Jesus was speaking and you're saying it's a real life event but he mentioned Abraham who died long before them as if Abraham can talk in his grave, or carry someone on his bosom. That's why i asked you if you're saying it wasn't a Parable as JWs said, where was Abraham during the time Jesus walked the earth?
In his grave or in a place where he can talk when he has not been resurrected?

Jesus is the first born from the dead because he's the first to die once and was resurrected never to die again! Revelations 1:5

So my question again, where was Abraham when Jesus was relating Lazarus and rich man's case if you say it's not a Parable? undecided
The quotation I gave you had already answered about where Abraham was which also concur with Jesus's testimony Luke 16vs19-31 except you don't believe the Bible

In case you forgot, as Jesus left the grave to exist somewhere and returned to resurrect; so shall the case of Abraham be.

Nowhere and at no time was it said that the preaching should exclude Christian's.

After doing that, please explain how death and the grave would be burned by the lake of fire literally. In other words; can death burn? Can a grave burn?

i read the scripture you quoted, itdoesn't debunk the existence of tongues. it says it could fail. so, how can something which isn't in existence fail?


It says if there's gift of tongue it will fail.
Meaning it will stop, and it did stop after the last of the first century Christians who received the holy spirit like fire on there head died.

Now think about this, speaking in tongue is not this baldarash baldarash that is being spoken this days, the apostles then were speaking the tongue or language of people who came to Jerusalem in 33ce with the help of the holy spirit.

Biko this one they're speaking today who hears them or who owns they language?

It's just a Parable like the Sower.
We know the meaning and it's practical application {Daniel 12:8-10} that's why we are working out the FRUIT of God's holy spirit as one big and happy family of peace loving worshipers {Micah 4:1-3 compare to John 17:20-23} whereas you people are confused and scattered {Luke 11:23} and you're all ashamed to because your religions are not shining like Jehovah's Witnesses Organization which is situated on the spiritual mountain that all eyes can see {Matthew 5:13-16} can't you see how all of you are coming from different directions to say what you know about Jehovah's Witnesses yet all your religions are kept in the hidden, none of you is bold enough to come out openly to mention his own Church, because you know it's of no repute like the one and only organization of God's people that's known globally!
