thank you, i was talking as a born again.
i also know that man was born with a sinful nature and he sins because he is a sinner. but a believer in Christ( born again ) has gods divine nature which is already a heaven citizen and not a candidate Philippians 4.20
mind you that a born again is not a sinner and can never sin, so why wont he make heaven?

One who has just accepted Jesus to be born again can still sin. It's our duty to fight the demons causing us to sin and hindering us from possessing our inheritance.

The Holy Spirit is evident when those claiming to have faith are WORKING out what is fine within them.JWs are unitedly worshipping as brothers and sisters across the globe, they have eliminated racial discrimination amidst them, they're topping the list in lasting marriages, they're the most law-abiding and peaceful in the community, preaching and teaching zealously across the globe and you're there saying "They don't have the Holy Spirit" Please without the fine WORKS your FAITH is inactive or DEAD! James 2:26

What you and many Christians fail to realise is that Salvation is a personal race. You don't get saved because you belong to a particular church, you don't get saved because you abide by the doctrine of "your church". Being united where a Catholic, Anglican, Jehovah's Witnesses and many other denominations doesn't qualify someone for Heaven. It's the person's personal life. While men slept, the devil came and sowed tares, putting discord in the church, creating different denominations that have different doctrines.

It is left for a Christian to discover the truth and embrace it, fight hard to possess his inheritance lest the devil takes hold of him.

TATIME:
Instead of arguing about what gifts, why not look for the FRUIT because a tree can be very big,high,beatiful and colorful that's just the GIFT but it's the FRUIT on it that could BENEFIT those around it. So please Paul told the Corinthian congregation that those GIFTS are for the time being but the FRUIT which will benefit those around them that's the GREATEST. 1Corinthians 13:1-13 compared to John 13:35

About that, I can tell you about so many of your members who are devoid of the fruits of the Holy Ghost, who engage in immoral acts and are even worse than other Christians.

You people do not listen to other gospel songs from the likes of Hillsong, Michael Smith or even sing songs of praises except from your hymn book on the grounds of those songs being "worldly" ( a member told me this) but yet your members sing to immoral and secular songs. Who are you fooling?
I won't say anymore. I pray you know the truth so you'll be set free from the spirit of denomination.

Righteousness89:
Religion takes no one to Heaven..

Salvation Through JESUS CHRIST is what Guarantees Heaven..

A Christian is not a Sinner and a Sinner is not a Christian..

Salvation only, does not qualify someone for Heaven. There are lots of work to be done. Remember, it's a journey and you have to strive till the end.

sorry sister you are wrong. let me explain : a man IS A SPIRIT that has a SOUL and lives in a BODY. so your body is the container and the real you is a spirit that has a soul.

THE SPIRIT = YOU ( the Bible said that we were created in Gods image and likeness. it was talking about the spirit. God is a spirit. your spirit is already perfect like God, your spirit can perform miracles, heal the sick etc)
you feed your spirit with the word of God

THE SOUL = your MIND (Intellect, emotions, feelings, thoughts etc)
you feed your soul with studying, hearing, seeing, smelling etc

THE BODY = your flesh you feed it with food etc
NB: it is only your body and soul that grows.. your spirit is already perfect

when you die your body (container) stays here on earth cause it is only dust. but your Spirit and Soul goes to heaven

about spirit word: there are spiritual realms (the supernatural) i will explain this if you want me to

Oh really? The spirit is already made perfect and goes to God? Someone who sold their soul or lived a worldly life against God's principles still goes to heaven? Every soul(spirit man) is controlled by a spirit and there are only two types of spirits; Spirit of God or that of the devil.

You only possess the Spirit of Christ when you accept Him, grow in knowledge of His Word(not quoting or cramming) and ask for His Holy Spirit. Apart from that, every other person who doesn't accept Him or has Him, yet is being possessed with a spirit ( spirit of anger, marine spirit, stealing, lies etc)

Need more?

TATIME:
YES! They're benefiting just that the evidence of the FRUIT of God's Holy Spirit is absent in the community.

Hmm. Convincing someone who has been brainwashed with doctrines seems like a hard task. Search the scriptures, this time ask for the Holy Spirit to come into your heart and teach you instead of worshipping doctrines.

TATIME:
Correct! So preaching to the air with no particular person as an audience in focus is tantamount to nonsense. Because must get his contact so as to go back and pay him/her a return visit. Act 15:36 That means the public preachers in buses aren't doing anything for Christ if we're to go by the examples of how things were done by the early Christians found in the scriptures.

No! They are. Anyone who hears the gospel has the choice of receiving it or rejecting it. Do you know how many people who have benefitted from the gospel preached in buses?

TATIME:
You're going back to the previous arguments again! Well, go and read what Paul said about the FRUIT of the Holy Spirit, then you'll be able to comprehend if JWs don't believe in the Holy Spirit. Galatians 5:22,23 It's easy to say "i believe in the Holy Spirit" but in the absence of the FRUIT or WORKS my friend it's a LIE! James 2:26

Faith without works doesn't only apply to preaching. That verse has a wide application. You call the Holy Spirit an active force, right? There are many JWs that don't have an iota of the fruits of the Holy Spirit. BTW, what gifts have you been given by the Holy Spirit?

Jesse01:
That's why i ask him what's the difference between soul and spirit.cause man itself is a soul, even animals are souls

No. Animals do not have souls. Once they die, they die. They will not face judgement.

Man's soul is being controlled by a spirit; either the spirit of Christ or the devil. The one you possess determines where you'd go to.

TATIME:
It's you that's denying the spirit in another person simply because we're not conforming to your popular and generally accepted way of doing things. If you say you have the spirit but now criticising others for also going about zealously preaching and teaching what they know about the kingdom of God,what are the WORKS you're doing that's a proof to disqualify them? Galatians 5:22,23

You are going about preaching and teaching yet you do not believe in the Holy Ghost.

Righteousness89:
The Soul belongs to GOD...

The soul that possesses the Spirit of Christ belongs to God

Righteousness89:
When Man Dies the following takes place:

The Body goes back to dust where it belongs
The Soul Returns to the Owner (GOD)
The Spirit goes to its next destination either Heaven or Hell based on the state which it was at death..

No! The spirit controlling a man's soul determines where the soul would go to. Man's soul is his own spirit( his spiritman)

So many shades of paintings. Be natural!

TATIME:
Preaching to someone on the street could only make sense if you are going back to teach such a person more about your previous discussion (Act 15:36)but it becomes meaningless when there is no chance of going to TEACH the person to whom you have preached. Matthew 28:20

That is why you get the person's contacts to reach out to the person and then you pray for the person to be convicted and repent.

OK! So you've been baptized by the Holy Ghost, but can't defend your beliefs with references from the scriptures. Hmmmmmmmmmm there are strange Christian aliens today oooooooo. Please who baptized you with that Holy Ghost so that your beliefs can't be explained from the scriptures? Isaiah 54:17

But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak. For it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak; for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.
Matthew 10:19‭-‬20 NKJV


Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
I Corinthians 2:12‭-‬13 NKJV

“As for Me,” says the Lord , “this is My covenant with them: My Spirit who is upon you, and My words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your descendants, nor from the mouth of your descendants’ descendants,” says the Lord , “from this time and forevermore.”
Isaiah 59:21 NKJV

What do you have to say about these? How would you deny the existence of the Holy Spirit?

TATIME:
Yes! It's appropriate to preach to one person at a time so that such a person could ask thought provoking questions which a Christian fully competent and completely equipped must provide answers from the scriptures. But spewing rubbish into the air without a particular person to who you're directing your messages is just unchristian.

You didn't answer my question.
I asked of preaching to someone on the street.

TATIME:
Haaaaaaaaa did i hear you say "the kingdom of God"? Please tell me a SINGLE THING that you know Jesus preached and taught people about the kingdom of God.

Every parable Jesus taught spoke about the kingdom of God. Lack of knowledge has really blinded your eyes.

TATIME:
Yes! I can recollect that,because i said earlier that i'm not a Christian. But just a Jehovah's witnesses efficiently POINTING out to a Christian from the scriptures how things ought to be done in Christianity. Whereas a "competent and equipped" Christian(2Timothy 3:16,17) is ONLY quoting popular practices in his neighborhood without any reference to the scriptures.

Only those who follow Christ are "Christians" and you can't be a witness to the Father when you do not follow the Son. You're only saying things out of doctrines made by man. Only when you have been baptised with Holy Ghost and fire that you'll know how and what to point out.

TATIME:
WRONG! Paul was addressing his letters to Christians. 1Corinthians 1:2 When it comes to preaching to unbelievers Paul goes from house to house(Act 20:20) and it's after these ones have become Christians that he later write letters to them as c
Congregations(Churches).Galatians 1:2 So if you don't understand all these things,then JWs should come and preach to you because you're NOT YET a Christian. Act 18:24-26

So you're saying apart from someone's house you can't preach elsewhere? So even preaching to someone on the street is wrong? There's no fixed venue to preach to unbelievers, you preach to people anywhere and anytime!

TATIME:
It's like you're not viewing the matter from another standpoint, anybody claiming to worship Jehovah today can only do so rightly if he/she is STRICTLY adhering to the instructions from God's only begotten son. So apart from the lip services which Jesus Himself condemns {Matthew 15:8} please try to meditate on the ACTIVITIES of JWs and tell me just one of the INSTRUCTIONS from Jesus that JWs have left untouched.

Hmm. You have been highly indoctrinated that you do not know the truth. Seek the kingdom of God wholeheartedly, be baptised with the Holy Spirit and fire and you'll come to know the truth. You're indirectly worshipping your organisation as the best organisation.

Man is a three- natured being; the body, the soul(spirit man) and the spirit. The body is the flesh, the soul is a man's own spirit, the one that will face judgement after death. The spirit is the force that is controlling a a man either the spirit of darkness or the spirit of light.

TATIME:
Please how can someone acknowledge another, is it by often mimicking His name or by acting in accordance to His instructions? Because JWs may not be saying the common slogan "Jesus is Lord"(Matthew 7:21-23) but every aspect of the religion depicts what Jesus commanded His followers to "keep doing".Matthew 7:24,25

Why should you go against the principle? There's no one who can claim to worship Jehovah if he doesn't go through Jesus. The only source to the Father is through the Son.

TATIME:
He instructed "all to do that" but why is it that throughout the world it's only JWs that are known for zealously doing it in their neighborhood

There are many Christians out there who evangelise and win lost souls. It's not only from door-to-door, it can be also on the streets.

You people claim to be the only true worshippers but are devoid of the Holy Ghost. Many of your members are nothing to write home about. There's nothing like a group or an organisation being true worshippers or righteous. It is an individual thing.

TATIME:
I'm sorry Sir/Ma if my comments got you enraged. There is freedom of expression today so Jesus' instruction to US is to go and meet people in their homes if we notice that some people are doing things wrongly,at least to correct those who will listen. So i'll advise you to contact my brothers or sisters in your neighborhood for scriptural principles and more explanations regarding the topic. Thanks and God bless you!

Yes, He instructed us all to do that, that's why He sent His Holy Ghost as our teacher to teach us on what we should say but all what you people do is to learn how to preach the gospel from a physical man.

OneJ:
U came here with a preconceived notion &your obstinate heart would remain closed, U no go agree to see road even if Jesus come from heaven to open your heart.

al,whose gospel did Jesus preach? Is it the same gospel that U ,alBHAGDADI is preaching?

What is the gospel of Jesus Christ, which Paul referred to in Galatians 1:8?
"Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God..." Mark 1:14,15.

"And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a WITNESS to all the nations, and then the end will come" Matt 24:14.


Is Jesus a witness for Jehovah? Rev3:14. Yes.

Are Christ followers (Christians) witnesses of Jehovah? Acts 22:4,9,20. Yes !

This is where you got it wrong! Matt 24:14 means that the gospel will be preached everywhere as a witness, an evidence, a proof. Jesus Christ is the witness. You can't claim to acknowledge Jehovah when you don't acknowledge the only source to Him, Jesus.

It baffles me that all atheists seem to fight against the fact that there is a Sovereign Creator which made the heavens and the earth. They don't go and show their "power" when it comes to spiritualists and other workers of the devil. All their strength is against Christianity. Embrace Him now, the time shall come when He shall gather His elects and all those who have vowed to remain in darkness will finally open their eyes but it'll be too late.

wirinet:
abeg show us these signs and where they were prophesied.



Why not your God work harder to drag people from the external condemnation. How come the the devil is more hardworking and efficient than your God.


I hope it's not what I am thinking



How come most Christians lack knowledge of the truth? I thought the holy spirit impacts all knowledge into all Christians.



All who hear the gospel should strive to be violent against who exactly? Unbelievers? Terrorists loading. ......


The best solution is to teach people to cover their ears once anyone mentions gospel or jesus. Once you do not hear, you remain safe. I wish my forefathers had covered their ears when the white man came with his gospel, we would all have been heaven bound today.

1)Matt 24: 4-14
2 Tim 3: 1-9
The signs of Christ's second coming has been prophesied already

2)He already sent His son, Jesus to pay the price for us. It's only left for us to believe in Him. John 3:16-18, Rev 3: 20, 21. The devil has already been given authority to control this world that's why all evil things are happening. God is waiting for His true worshippers, those who will worship Him in spirit and in truth not those forced

3)I don't know what you are thinking of.

4)Most "Christians" are not living a godly life and the Holy Ghost can't dwell in filthiness and unholiness that's why they lack the knowledge.

5)"For we wrestle not against flesh but against principalities, against powers,...spiritual wickedness in high places Eph 6: 12
" and right from the days of John the Baptist, the kingdom of God suffers violence and the violent take it by force" Matt 11:12


6)Hehehe. "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations and then shall the end come" Matt 24:14 . There's no man who won't receive or hear the gospel because the gospel is a base for our judgement.
He who has ears, let him hear what the spirit says to the churches (man).

Hmm. Seeing all these posts above are nothing to me because all these signs have been prophesied long ago.
The devil is desperately working to drag people into eternal condemnation and those who have chosen to remain in spiritual blindness are the victims.
Man and every other creation was created by God for pleasure (Rev 4:11) and every creation must obey the Creator which is God. The problem with most "Christians" is that they lack knowledge of truth which makes then appear defenceless in the presence of all atheists and unbelievers.
All those who have heard the gospel and have been recreated should strive, be violent in the war to possess their inheritance lest the devil snatches us away like these ones who have deviated.

He who hears the gospel and does not believe it, is condemned (John 3:18)
