There's no way you can justify your ignorance because God has never ever gathered a group of perfect worshipers on this planet. So pocket your excuses that God's people made mistakes.

This is what our own God said about us:

No weapon formed against you will have any success, And you will condemn any tongue that rises up against you in the judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of Jehovah, And their righteousness is from me,” declares Jehovah! Isaiah 54:17

No weapon formed against His congregation by Satan to disorganize us shall have a success!
We will always silence any group that try to stand beside us that's why you can't point to a better performing group!
The heritage of God's people is an organized and orderly setting that will amaze all critics as each of us that form God's organization is also imperfect like everyone else!
As for our righteousness don't bother yourself because you will never ever find a better replacement for JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES!

You keep making me laugh. I have discussed with you for over a year now. I know who is ignorant.
The person who thinks God's children are his slaves is the ignorant one here .
You talk of a better performing group. I can give you more than 10 better performing groups if you ask.
I would give you groups that don't teach fairy tales but teach more from the scriptures.
And mind you, I am neutral. I am not a member of any of these groups but I have tested their spirits just as I have tested yours. There are much more quality organizations with much more to offer and they actually try to follow the scriptures than yours.

Those of you with the proper knowledge of how Nigeria politics work should know absolutely what to do on election day, do not let ethnic politics mislead you into wasting your votes. Obi cannot win the forthcoming election, Igbo presidency is what has been longed for and I believe they should be given a chance. But the timing isn’t right to talk about Igbo presidency, don’t let wrong decisions cause more harm to our dear country as the consequences will be on us all. Vote a man whom you trust to surely handover power to an Igbo man after his tenure, a man who has constantly demonstrated his love for Ndigbos and that man is no other person than Atiku Abubakar, a vote for Atiku is a vote for Igbo presidency. Please listen to the bitter truth dished out by one of our own in person of Professor Chukwuma Soludo. God bless you all as you do the needful.

Are you guys not tired of making the same mistakes over and over again?
So we should vote for another criminal just because you feel an Igbo man can't be president?
You are not even asking Igbo's to vote for someone that would move the country forward. You want them to keep making political moves that have never made a difference for the ordinary man.
Kastina is still one of the poorest states in Nigeria after 8 years of Buhari rule. It doesn't matter if who the Igbo's vote wins or loses, let them vote for who they believe would make things better for them and indeed Nigeria as a whole.

MaxInDHouse:
Well if you agree that Jesus Christ established a group and presented them as his spiritual brothers and sisters i'm OK whether you believe it's JWs or not that's not the bone of contention but the fact remains that Jesus was able to point of a visible organization of people doing his father's will.

I can boldly and confidently boast that the JW ORGANIZATION is that group today!

The goal is not to join any group and start boasting. The goal is to follow Jesus Christ. So if a group gives a false date about the coming of Christ, I stay away from such groups. If a group teaches stuff that is not based in the scriptures, I run from such groups. If a group claims that God practiced slavery with the children of Israel his very children, I can't be part of the group.
If a group choose the number of people who can live with God in heaven, even when no such thing is in the bible, why should I be in such a congregation.
To join a group is easy. There are thousands of groups out there but it's foolish to knowingly join a false group just to boast that I am part of an organization.

MimiSheWrote:
They are all the same. Just choose your own version of frustration and start dealing with it!

If you have stayed abroad, you'd hate every damn thing about this country, especially our so called leaders!

Nigerians are either cowards, have low I.Q or should I say addicted to suffering!
In a sane country we(The youths) should be staging a nation wide uprising and revolution! not supporting the same old politicians that have been playing with this country since God knows when! All in the name of tribalism or religion! (wetin concern me, shebbi na xmas carry me come back here, Mek I do travel back!)

To get anything right in this country is a Rocket science!

Ordinary internet that the rest of the world have perfected and moved on decades ago, we are still struggling with our own.

Electricity nko? Oh this topic is not about that one, sorry.

Please give me examples of nations that were made better through revolutions and I would give you 20 that were worse after revolutions.

Darren95:
Before igbos claim Obi is better than Tinubu, they should all relocate their businesses to Anambra that Peter Obi developed.

You are in Lagos but you don’t believe Tinubu who made Lagos conducive for igbos. Wahala

Is Tinubu the owner of Lagos? Keep saying stupid things. Tinubu only made Lagos conducive for himself. It was the Federal government and the people of Nigeria in general that made Lagos the economic capital that it is today.
Just for your knowledge, Lagos was already the economic capital of Nigeria 70 years ago.

lagbaja:
Tinubu is more likely to win a rerun. Most Obi voters would rather not vote than vote any of the 2 candidates. Kwakwanso is more likely to deliver his voters over to Tinubu than to Atiku. North Central will more likely support Tinubu than Atiku because of the Fulani factor

Who is the average Kwankwaso voter? These are the vote for a northern Muslim no matter what. The average Kwankwaso voter would never vote for a none northern and if you think the SE and the SS would sit out the rerun then you need to wake up. Yes those voting in the rerun wouldn't be as much as in the first poll but that would be the case in all 36 states.

lagbaja:
Tinubu is more likely to win a rerun. Most Obi voters would rather not vote than vote any of the 2 candidates. Kwakwanso is more likely to deliver his voters over to Tinubu than to Atiku. North Central will more likely support Tinubu than Atiku because of the Fulani factor

If Tinubu does not win outright, it is over for him.
Your analysis is very wrong.
PDP is actually very strong in the NC, SS and SE. If Obi was not on the ballot, all LP votes would go to PDP. With the exception of Kwara and Maybe Kogi, Atiku would clear the NC in any rerun.

The highlighted!

Jesus surely pointed to an ORGANIZATION of IMPERFECT humans around him as his fellow believers:

And extending his hand toward his disciples, he said: “Look! My mother and my brothers" Matthew 12:49
Then he concluded that this are the ORGANIZED people who are doing the will of his father! Matthew 12:50

He knew that during the endtime faithless people like you will also claim you're a believer so he made it clear that whoever is a true believer will have something to present before the whole world as evidence that he or she is worshiping the God who sent him.

Peter asked him:
“Look! We have left all things and followed you; what, then, will there be for us?” Matthew 19:27

After promising them what is not visible Jesus added saying:

"And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands for the sake of my name will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit everlasting life" Matthew 19:29

So if you're quoting God's word know that anyone can also do the same claiming they're worshipers of God but then where are your imperfect human family of worshipers doing God's will that Jesus promised you?

Remember if you can't present any group of people as worshipers of your God everlasting life is not sure for you because thats exactly what Jesus promised that we will see here on earth before we can be rest assured that God's blessings is upon the form of worship we choose!

You are right, Jesus Christ established his church not the JW church. Your organization was established much latter by a man like you and I so I would be a fool to join a group just for the sake of presenting a group to you.
Do you understand.

MaxInDHouse:
My boasting is based on the fact that i can point to the ORGANIZATION of worshipers and in their midst i worship my own God {Psalms 133:1} so if you say your opinion are scriptural why not present the worshipers of your God because we all know that the worshipers of the Bible God are always ORGANIZED, ORDERLY having the same line of thought! John 17:22; 1Corinthians 1:10; Ephesians 4:3

In the absence of an organized orderly group of worshipers each individual will have to form his or her own personal opinion which will lead to confusion! 1Corinthians 14:33 compare to Luke 11:23

So present the worshipers of your God if truly your personal opinion should be considered as scriptural!

You point to men and I point you to the word of God. I think I should be the one boasting.
You depend on a human organisation that has failed you in the past and would still fail you in the future while I point directly to God the giver of all knowledge.
Jesus Christ never pointed to an organization, he pointed to his father.
None of your manmade churches is superior to the word of God.
Again you got it wrong, it is the presence of different organizations that have led to confusion not the absence.

Tonyavaro:
I hope they are not refurbished crafts !

What's wrong with refurbished crafts. The most important thing is that they are air worthy.

Dsalvo:
He is no dark Horse. Kwankwaso will be dragging distant 3rd with Obi. That is the reality of how far he can go in Nigerian elections that is never about popularity in the North alone.

If that were the case then Buhari should have won at least once out of the three times he contested before eventually joining APC to emerge victorious.

I see him getting more Muslim votes in the north. More than Tinubu and Atiku. Tinubu depends on APC might and money to bring crowds to his venue but this man is organic. He is loved by the Muslim north. No other candidate has such presence among the Muslims in the north. I see him taking over Buhari's northern votes.

MaxInDHouse:
You're getting it all wrong my guy!

Perhaps i should make it easier for you to grasp:

I am Maximus one of Jehovah's Witnesses. My teachers are the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses {Matthew 24:45} their leader directing them is Jesus Christ and his father is our God. John 20:17

So this is what i will always boast for and keep telling you to humble yourself so as to be able to see that you're an atheist if you can't present something of this nature.

Your argument is based on personal opinion so you can't present any group of people practicing what you think is pure worship neither are you even sure if the Bible is the only source of divine guidance from the true God.

So that's what makes you arrogant as you're just arguing to justify your very self while i on the other hand is presenting where and how i got what i am teaching! 1Corinthians 4:7

No excuse for pride
All my arguments are based on the scriptures not personal opinion.
And let's not forget that your argument is based on other people's opinions (Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses) So you have no reason to boast on another person's opinion when my views all come from God's words.

Why is no one seeing Kwankwaso as a force to recon with. His crowds are organic and not paid for. He is loved all over the Muslim north.
I see him as the dark horse in this race. What do you think?

MaxInDHouse:
Whatever you like say i know my quotations are always fitting into whatever i say you still need to humble yourself and learn to identify and acknowledge the one and only true religion in the world that's filled with different religions.
And as for boasting a servant of my own God will always boast that nobody understands our God except those in our midst! Jeremiah 9:23-24

Lol
I just laugh at your dishonesty. You are allowed to be arrogant and boastful yet you preach humility to me. A typical Nigerian Christian. Do what I say not what I do.
I would have loved to follow your teachings if they were true, sound and correct.

Banilla:
I'm not spending his money! Read the post. One of us has to hold it. We can't open a joint account, too far away to do so.

So what matters is who. And I'm better suited

Please don't ask your boyfriend to save in your account. It's not a wise financial decision for him. When you break up, what happens to his money. Put yourself in his shoes.

MaxInDHouse:
The funny thing about you is faithlessness yet you want to adjust the thinking of others!

Whenever a real Christian quotes a scripture its meant for our Bible students to meditate not faithless ones like you who doesn't even trust (believe) the Bible.

For instance imagine when Jesus told his disciples "Elijah has come" {Matthew 17:10-13} do you still expect them to quote Malachi 4:5 and keep anticipating the coming of Elijah! How will unbelieving Jews view Jesus' disciples who have concluded that John the baptist is the Elijah they're expecting?

So whenever i quote a scripture humbly ask for the import on what i said otherwise you can never ever get the sense of God's word.
Meanwhile the time is running out find a way to make disciples for Christ if you won't enroll in the Bible study with JWs because it's not this wasteful arguments that Jesus will use to repay his faithful ones who must make active disciples! Matthew 28:19-20

Nothing you said here has to do with our discussion. You claim that you hate wasteful arguments. But we both know that is not true. You dwell on wasteful arguments. If you continue to quote scriptures that don't match the topic in your arguments, is that not a wasteful argument.
As I said, learn to be a little more honest and have some integrity even in your disagreements. If you want to be a teacher of truth, you need to be truthful.

MaxInDHouse:
If you make yourself teachable i will TEACH you but since you're arrogant you can never ever understand what God's word meant when it says "You must be perfect" Leviticus 19:2 compare to Matthew 5:48

But for the benefit of other followers i will teach if you like accept if you like reject it's your problem not mine.

Perfection must come in before anyone can gain everlasting life into God's eternal blessings but as imperfect descendants of Adam we must humble ourselves and seek righteousness {Zephaniah 2:2-3} how do we go about it? First of all we must accept that all our kind gestures due to conscience doesn't meet God's standard {Isaiah 64:6} so we need to be in the congregation of those who are working towards perfection {John 17:22 compare to 1Corinthians 1:10; Ephesians 4:3} not associating with ridiculers mocking God's word {Psalms 1:1} we must always attending meetings with those exerting themselves to improve their relationship with God there we will be encouraged and reminded of where we need to make amendments {Hebrews 10:24-25} we must also respect God's arrangement for headship in the gathering of His worshipers {Hebrews 13:7, 17} and learn to distinguish between pure worship and false religions! Matthew 16:6-12

Even if you're the WORSTEST person on this planet when you act on all the above scriptures diligently God won't see your present state anymore {Psalms 103:12-14} rather He will be looking forward to seeing what you will become when you're allowed for 1,000 years to meet up with Christ's attitudes {Luke 23:43} as you continue working hard to put away the Old Personality. Ephesians 4:22-24
That's why He said:

“Come, now, and let us set matters straight between us,” says Jehovah. “Though your sins are like scarlet, They will be made as white as snow; Though they are as red as crimson cloth, They will become like wool. Isaiah 1:18

Oga, you are the arrogant one here, You are the one always boating. As I told you, I learn from many people on this platform. But I learn from those who have real substance to teach, not the boasters or pretenders.
I agree with much of what you wrote about perfection but it does not counter my point rather, it builds on what I wrote.
And thanks, it seems you took my advice. Some of the scriptures you mentioned fit with the discussion. Good job.

MaxInDHouse:
And do you think i give a damn what you think?
I'm here to discuss with whoever finds my thread insightful not people like you who still doubts everything even the Bible itself you can't defend with competence.
So you don't worth considering with whatever you may think?

It's not about what I think. It's about you being an honest and upright person.
It's wrong to just float any scripture without even knowing what it says.

Mustiboy:
Everywhere you go, people hold their phones in their hands even when they have absolutely no need for it and the phones would be safer being in their pockets or bags?

Is it some kinda show-off? Cause I could swear this act is more common amongst iPhone users. Are they trying to make a statement? “Oh see the phone I use? I’m not doing too bad”

One thing I’ve noticed is that you’ll hardly find people with broken-screen phones or an entry-level smartphone holding them in their hands this way.

I overheard a Bet9ja boy narrating to his coworker how the respect he gets from folks in his neighborhood has skyrocketed because he now uses an iPhone 13.

Is it a Nigerian thing? Or na so dem dey do world over?

This is a case of you not minding your business.

MaxInDHouse:
Now i know your problem, you're thinking my students are kids right?
Well for your information most of them are far older than me, i have a lawyer two, bankers and a doctor as well as lecturers who wants to learn from me. So when i say "STUDENTS" you should know that it's like when Jesus is teaching and most of his disciples are far older than him. It's you people that doesn't value wisdom. Those that value it book appointment with me for their Bible studies!



Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, see churchgoers and lack of knowledge! Why not just ask of the correlation between what we're discussing and the quoted scriptures?
Well this is what it means:

God's Holy Spirit gave Jesus' disciples different gifts {Ephesians 4:11} each is expected to make disciples for the master through the gift in their possession. The ability to think deeper and bring out the import of certain words is my own gift. So when i say "BELIEVE means TRUST" most of my students don't argue like you guys here rather they patiently ask "where is the correlation?"
But since you think i'm wrong go and work out how to make disciples if you feel you're a real Christian!

I don't care the age of your students even adults are brainwashed.
The more I discuss with you, the clearer it seems that you never read the verses you mention. It's laziness. I advise you to read before sending.

BRIMBRAM:
That is good news. It means Obi is also capable of tearing PDP votes to shreds in Bauchi state. While APC's votes remains intact. It's simple logic bro.

Who's votes is Kwankwaso tearing?

MaxInDHouse:
My students are also fishers of men like myself who are fully competent and completely equipped for the assignment so we use the uncommon sense when studying God's word that's why we are unique.

BELIEVE and TRUST have the same meaning when looking at it from the viewpoint of the Bible's Author that's what you need to know.

But if you want to rely on what the world says go and use their understanding we are working for someone and we need to deliver! Matthew 25:14-30

The scripture your mentioned Matthew 25:14-30 does not teach that believe is trust. I am not sure you even read the verses. Those verses speak about the talent and not believe or trust If you teach what the bible says, no one would argue with you.

MaxInDHouse:
All you have to do is calm down and learn but if you believe you know better go out there and TEACH what you know this is all about me and my discoveries in driving home my point when teaching others to understand!

I have learnt so much from many people on this platform but what you begin to teach something that is clearly wrong, there I draw the line. I mean, you can't be teaching your students that believe means trust na. What is the point in confusing them?
If you want to be a teacher, be a teacher of truth.

oteneaaron:
But how can trust and belief mean the same thing?

MaxInDHouse says it's his personal definition so I can't argue with that. In our world today, we have men who believe they are women so I respect his opinion even though he is wrong and unfortunately he is teaching it to his students

MaxInDHouse:
I never invited you in here so if you're not OK with what i'm saying take the exit door.
I have many Bible students who are well educated and understand English much more than you but when i tell them believe connotes trust they're happy to know how true it is!

Oga this is a public forum na. We don't invite or uninvite in this platform. Lol.
But even to your bible students, you should not create definitions from thin air just to confuse them.
If your students actually believe that believe and trust are the same, that means they are not as educated as you claim.
And don't forget, you were replying me when you claimed that trust means believe. So you don't need to pretend that you were engaging with your students.

MaxInDHouse:
That's my own PERSONAL meaning of the word BELIEVE so if you don't agree that's not a problem you can stick to whatever meaning you know but as far as i am concerned the word BELIEVE connotes TRUST!

I respect that.
But If it's your personal meaning, you should keep it to yourself and not try to spread it as the true meaning.
If for example, my personal meaning of Car is house, it would be wrong for me to teach others that a car means a house. I could keep it to myself rather than confusing others. Do you understand?

jaephoenix:
Youre the one that made an example with a phone. But why would yhwh ask Cain where his bro was when he knew where he was?

Please read the verse, you would see that God knew what Cain had done to his brother.

Aemmyjah:
If you see a sane person exchanging words with a mad man, you'll doubt the person is really sane
Arguing with a fool makes you like him bro

I don't agree with you. First we learn from each other. Again, others could come across our discussion and pick a think or two.

MaxInDHouse:
Those words may mean different things to you or anyone out there but to me it means the same thing.

Believe to me means trusting in someone or something!

It's not as it you or our organization created the English language.
It's ok if we stick to the correct definitions rather than creating new meanings for argument sake.
I can claim that believe means to eat. It does not right

MaxInDHouse:
I doubt the highlighted because believe means trust and if half of the world {4.7 billions) believe in Jesus the world will be a Paradise by now!

Again you should use your dictionary. Both the Muslim and Christian world believe in the Virgin birth. Believe actually does not mean trust. These are 2 different words with different meanings. Let me know if you want me to post the oxford dictionary meaning of both words.

MaxInDHouse:
Of course they're of no importance but demons fabricated these fairy tales for a purpose:

To blur the minds of faithless people so they won't see any reason to believe in the story of Jesus Christ! 2Corinthians 4:4

Well it obviously did not work as over half of the world believe in the Virgin birth of Christ. Most of the world does not buy the fairy tales
