God was the one who spoke to Barnabas and Saul but only through the holy spirit which is God's means of communicating ideas to humans. Their utterances at that point indicate that they were inspired and commissioned to be apostles to the uncircumcised Gentiles. Compare Galatians 2:8

@highlighted

I need no excuse since i'm not a worshiper of your TRINITY god nah!

Where i must maintain my status is amongst JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES, there's nothing as in NOTHING that can shake my feet on the rocky foundation of the Watchtower!

Call it anything you want, go PREACH and TEACH your truth out there i'm 100% certain that you'll get your type but definitely not one of JEHOVAH'S Sheep!

Straight from your New World Translation
Acts 3:2 As they were ministering to Jehovah and fasting, the holy spirit said: “Set aside for me Barʹna·bas and Saul+ for the work to which I have called them.”+
Ur NWT doesn't Jehovah said o. U r adding to the Bible Mr.
It says The Holy Spirit said @ bolded.
Where in this text does it say Jehovah said to Barnabas and Paul?
Stop Adding to the Bible oga nah........

Psalm 95:7-11 ASV reads:
“For he is our God, And we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To-day, oh that ye would hear his voice! Harden not your heart, as at Meribah, As in the day of Massah in the wilderness; When your fathers tempted me, Proved me, and saw my work. Forty years long was I grieved with that generation, And said, It is a people that do err in their heart, And they have not known my ways: Wherefore I sware in my wrath, That they should not enter into my rest”

Paul applied the same verse at Hebrews 3:7-11 to those who have been chosen to rule as kings in heaven. Hebrews 3:1, Revelation 5:10
Paul even gave authorship of Psalm 95 to David at Hebrews 4:7.
But look at what Paul said at Hebrews 3:7,
“Wherefore, even as the Holy Spirit saith, To-day if ye shall hear his voice,”
So who was actually speaking? Didn't those words originate from God? Wasn't it David who penned those words down because he was inspired/moved by holy spirit to do so? 2Samuel 23:2, Timothy 3:16, 2Peter 1:21

This one you dey talk nah story story.. Twisted interpretation.
Let's not argue too much.
Bros, Abeg just provide one translation Acts 13:2 of the Bible way support these your Jehovah spoke through the Holy Spirit. I will believe you!.
Just one abeg.

The analogy used is apt. Go over it again and relate it with Acts 13:2

freshboi88:


Pls don't give me analogy. We are talking biblical and spiritual matters here.
Give me scripture. I asked u to provide one translation that supports your acts 13:2 interpretation. Isn't there one that supports your analogy.
You can even use your own Jehovah witness bible

DappaD:


Okay should I spoonfeed you?
David uttered and wrote what is now Psalm 95 compare Hebrews 4:7 but why does Paul at Hebrews 3:7 say that it was holy spirit who spoke when in reality it was David?
The answer is at 2Peter 1:21
Faithful men of old were moved by God's holy spirit to make inspired utterances and in order to accomplish God's will. That's the case with Acts 13:2.

No matter how practical your comments seems to be as long as you're not ready to take a bow before their TRINITY dogheads you can't get anything right before them.
Just say "Jesus is front/back/Left/right and center" whatever gibberish that follows is OK to them even if you're saying some of them will enter Hellfire for not following some man-made doctrines, they will say "God works in mysterious ways" so just agree with their three in one god and automatically you're certified!

I will finish this man today.
Okay so David had a mouth and so he spoke. You cannot speak if u no get mouth.
So in the case of Acts 13:2, The holy spirit spoke. Do u agree that the Holy Spirit has mouth, voice?

DappaD:


Evidently, it was Paul who spoke those words at Acts 13:2. Jehovah God put it in his heart by means of holy spirit—he didn't have to hear God's actual voice from heaven. It wasn't like the voice he heard from Jesus on an earlier occasion either(Acts 9:15) That's why I brought up the whole Psalm 95, Hebrews 3:7 and 4:7 saga because it is exactly the same scenario. Compare Acts 1:16

Emusan:


How long will you people realize that you can ONLY SPEAK THROUGH a VESSEL that is an object.

Holy Spirit spoke through PEOPLE.

So for Jehovah to speak through the Holy Spirit, it means Holy Spirit must have mouth to utter the words of Jehovah.

The people that Holy Spirit spoke through them, didn't they relate the messages with mouth?

The evidences that Holy Spirit has mouth are abounds in the scripture

Acts 13:2. As they were publicly ministering to Jehovah and fasting, the holy spirit said: 'Of all persons set Bar'na·bas and Saul apart for me for the work to which I have called them.'
So Paul spoke of himself in this verse. How did he say it?
Set Paul (himself) and Barnabas apart for me(himself again) for the work which (Paul) has commanded them to do?
But I wonder y he is calling his own name if he is making this statement?....can u tell this forum why?

This guy clearly needs medication
In Addition
Earlier u said God spoke through the Holy Spirit.
Now u said God spoke through Paul.
Or Jehovah spoke through the Holy Spirit then Holy Spirit now spoke through Paul.....
Whoa!!!!.....such a long process for an Almighty Jehovah don't u think

DappaD:


This has got to be dumbest thing I've heard all week.
When Jesus said at Matthew 17:22: “The Son of Man will be handed over in to the hands of evil men to be killed”, why was he mentioning himself in his statement? This just proves that you just want to continue arguing so that observers would think you have something to say meanwhile you're as empty as the other random churchgoers I've countered on NL.



Go and open Hebrews 3:7 and 4:7
Explain to me if Paul is contradicting himself. If you can't do that, then there shouldn't be any need quoting me further.

MaxInDHouse:
There's no need wasting one's precious time on critics who thought everyone is just here to defend his religion, that's why he kept saying defence! defence!!
It's only in times of trouble or for the sake of an interested person that we need to defend the faith. But in the absence of that, dropping few words to make them realise they're just making noise is enough!
Ask them to present a gathering where the Holy Spirit is operating today. That's all!

MaxInDHouse:
One thing that's certain is that the Holy Spirit works in ancient times but it's works differs from one generation to another because God doesn't need to prove himself to anyone when he has already accomplished his aim.
This same spirit worked with all the servants of God but differently.

So What is God using the holy spirit to accomplish today and in which gathering can we confirm it's works?

Whether it's Mr/ Mrs or just an instrument of God, where can we see the WORKS of this spirit today?

freshboi88:


I thought you were just brainwashed but u r naturally dull.
Was the Holy Spirit speaking through Jesus in this case. No!
So what's the basis for comparison.
How many channels does God use to communicate. ?
You said he used the Holy Spirit initially,.later u changed it to Paul. Do u see how lies are making u fool yourself in public. Old man like u.
How many mediums does God use to communicate. ?

“The spirit is Jehovah is upon me”
The words uttered by Jesus immediately after entering into the Jewish synagogue. Luke 4:18 compare Isaiah 61:1
Except you're saying now that Jesus wasn't guided by holy spirit when he taught his disciples and the crowds. John 7:46
I'm still waiting for you to correlate Hebrews 3:7 and 4:7.

Okay provide a verse in scripture where it says Jehovah spoke through the Holy Spirit?
Because that should be a precedence on which u r basing this your interpretation of Acts 13:2
