zedman1:
I'm sure he preached the same to his congregation, in other words you're saying he wasn't in the 'supernatural' that was why he was a victim right? Peter, Paul, Philip and all others who have died brutally after Jesus weren't into the supernatural too. This is how we think these days. Wehdone Superman.
We don't all preach the same thing or believe the same thing. Most Pastors today are scammers.

Christianity Etc › Re: Daddy Freeze: Celebrating Christmas, Is Celebrating A Pagan God's Birthday by TruthinAction: 12:10pm On Dec 20, 2018
exlinkleads:
Have you ever wondered if you are indeed doing the right thing when it concerns Christmas celebration?

Have you ever taken your time to research about what you have been celebrating right from the day you were born? Have you questioned if Jesus Christ was even born on 25th of December or are you just going with what the world has been led to believe?

To be honest, I used to be that way until I came of age. Have you? When I was a kid I believed in Santa Clus and Father Christmas but obvious you know now that those are simply myths. Well, so as many things you believe and practice blindly today. I used to even believe their were three wise men who came to great Merry when Jesus was born. Research guys, it is a lie.

Well, leader of Free the Sheeple Movement, Daddy Freeze has asked those celebrating Christmas to stop fooling the world into believing it’s Christ’s birthday when it’s actually a pagan god, Nimrod’s birthday.

The Controversial On Air Personality was reacting to a video where an American pastor, Brother Benx disagreed with Christmas and Ester celebration stating that there was no biblical documentation to back up such dates.

Daddy Freeze added that birthdays are pagan rituals under pagan gods and not of Christian origin. He went further to add that Christ never celebrated his birthday or any birthday at all.

His Instagram post reads:


You can’t just conjure up a date and fool the world into believing it’s Christ’s birthday when it’s actually Nimrod’s birthday that coincides with the winter solstice of the druids and pagans.
–

Christ NEVER celebrated his birthday or any birthday at all, so why bring him into your pagan rituals and under your pagan gods?
–

At the request of pagan ruler Herod Antipas step daughter Salome, at his birthday party, John the Baptist was beheaded.
–

Birthdays are of pagan, NOT Christian origin! Celebrate your birthdays all you want, JUST KEEP CHRIST OUT OF IT! ~FRZ

More @ http://www.exlinklodge.com/2018/12/celebrate-christmas-if-you-want-but.html?m=1
Daddy Freeze need to see a psychiatrist. Christmas celebration is the most beautiful thing that to mankind. The atmosphere is unique. The hymns are refreshing to the soul. What matters is that you do whatever you do to God's glory. The hymns themselves are messages. And people are more aware that a Saviour was born to save mankind. Please, Daddy Freeze should look for a better job to do. He appears very jobless.

Well it pains me when people don't see dignity of labor but looting as a way of life will surely breed many more yahoo boys, slay mamas, baby mamas, ritualists, human trafficking and others.

Sometimes I wonder how you igbos were raised. So osinbajo should declare himself president just because a coward fugitive says buhari is a double? Animals like you think it's just easy to find a president's look-alike from Nigeria to Niger, Chad up to Sudan within three months and act like him without the knowledge of his wife, atuku, saraki, and all opposition governors in Nigeria. Only a coward like kanu would know.

Your parents raised a fool.
They all know he is not Buhari. Maybe you just want to pretend or you are in the village where you are cut off from information. The facts are overwhelming and the difference between him and Buhari is very clear. Google and listen to his independence speech of 2016 and 2018 and tell me the difference.

So treatment can make a man more than 6 inches shorter? Buhari will publicly address his wife as Mrs Buhari? President Buhari will address a minister as his excellency? Pls wake up from your slumber.

When lie is allowed to stay for so long, it appears to be the truth. PDP is a very weak opposition. They are the only one to unravel the issue of Buhari and his double. They should present infallible facts that the man there is not Buhari. After which Osibanjo should be installed as the President. Obasanjo and the Yoruba community are all cowards. This is another opportunity to have their son as President. They denied Abiola and now Osibanjo is also denied. They want to remain slaves to the Fulani for life. What a shame. What a country.

He is a saint compared with Buhari who has both ten fingers and ten toes pointing on him. Let's call a spade a spade. The level of corruption in this present government is unequaled in the history of Nigeria. No government anywhere in the world has ever lost the number of armies to bloody civilian that they are supposed to protect us against.

You are opposed to my teaching for a reasonable cause but I am still going to loosen you up by the Holy Spirit when you catch the revelation, it won't matter how you got to it. All glory to God.
Listen carefully now.
The recording of the years of Adam started after the fall but the Bible said that this happened on the 7th day that God rested.
1,000 years with Man who is Adam is the 1 day spoken by God. So if Adam been a man was to count 1 day, he would be looking at 1,000 years. It is just like calling year 2,000 the beginning of end times. From Adam to Jesus is 4,000 BC then add up to year 2,000 AD will give you 6,000 years already past so we are living in the early stages of the remaining 1,000 years to complete 7,000 which is the 7th day that God rested. This is why they call it the end of the world or apocalypse because it was on the 7th day that the serpent who is The Beast or AntiGod caused the fall.
There is no redemption for you. I will not waste any more time to chat with you. Continue in your deceit. You will regret all these.
Christianity Etc › Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: 17 Facts People Should Know About Them by TruthinAction: 2:56pm On Dec 14, 2018
brodalokie:
1,000 years = 1 day
then
1 day = 1,000 years
How come you are still confused?

Adam could not reach 1,000 years because he logically died that day.
The man who wrote it that 1,000 years is one day knew about Adam's story too.
The millennium is for people who have overcome so the 1,000 reign signify their victory over death that plagued their ancestor Adam
You need to enroll in nursery school.

1 day with man = 1000 years with God.
That means 2 days = 2,000 years.
And 1,000 years on earth = 1000000 years.

The second case is different.

1,000 years with man = 1 day with God
2,000 years with man = 2 days with God.

It is this second case you always refer to. But how do you reconcile the first case?

If every day we spend on earth is equivalent to 1,000 years with God, then Adam actually lived 1 million years in the eyes of God. So you see how foolish it is to interpret it that the Bible is telling us what the equivalent of days mean with God.

The bottom line is that the spirit world is timeless.

For a benefit of doubt, read the scripture quotation again.

2 Peter 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

So it is not possible to equate 1 day (with man) = 1000 years (with God)

1000 years (with man) = 1 day (with God)

They are certainly not the same. And you can't pick one of them and make a doctrine out of it. Pls, come out of JW. They are full of deceit and destined for destruction.

The father and the son are one. No one has seen God but the beloved that is in his bossom who is here declaring him.

The day you eat, that DAY (1,000 years) you shall die. And all the years that Adam lived was 930 years old and he died. He died the same day in God's calendar.
It was not by mistake that the psalmist wrote down that a day is like A thousand years

You think you can make it to that millennium? Some people think that Jesus is already with us and we are all in the millennium, waiting for Satan to be loosed to deceive the world if he is not loosen yet. Some others think that the beast out there somewhere running our economy
You really said nothing. You just beat around the bush. So elementary English is difficult for you to understand. That the Scripture said a day is like a thousand years is not the same as a day is a thousand years.

And it also said a thousand years is like a day. So which one are you going to choose as the equivalent of a day?

Now if you change the meaning by removing as or like, both Scriptures will read.

A day is equivalent to a thousand years and
A thousand years is equivalent to a day.

This just describes the timelessness of the spirit world. Please, go back and learn English and stop deceiving people. So many are going to hell because of your false teachings and they wished they had the opportunity and warn the rest of you.

TATIME:
Insulting due to aggression won't solve this issue my friend, the Bible is clear on that. "One thousand years is like one day" don't forget that the Bible says so much about the "judgment day" or "day of judgment". Matthew 11:24, 12:36,1John 4:17.
The Bible also said there will be 1,000 years that Jesus will rule with the anointed ones. Revelations 20:6 Jesus said His followers will sit on twelve thrones JUDGING. Luke 22:30
All these shows that the judgment DAY will be 1,000 years! Jesus' followers will be part of the judges and they will rule with Him for a thousand years. It's so simple that any reasonable reader could understand that it's still the same application!
Well i know it's difficult to grasp but let's reason together. It's what Jesus said and what His Apostles were also inspired to write after Him that's compiled as the Christian Greek scripture (New Testament).
During the 1,000 years reign of Jesus and His anointed brothers, whoever refuses to yield to their writings(amongst those resurrected) will later be destroyed! Revelations 20:12-14
Malachi said those who reads, meditate and apply what is written in those scriptures will have their names written down(Malachi 3:16) and John made us to understand that there will be a SINGLE scroll called the book of life! Revelations 20:15
So it's clear that whoever fails to identify those preaching and teaching people the truth today or fighting against them can't have the chance to be alive during the 1,000 years reign of Christ and His anointed brothers, because according to Jesus said such individuals "HAVE BEEN JUDGE ALREADY!" John 3:18
JW always seeking for ways to justify preconceived opinions. Jesus reign for 1,000 years is not to judge the Saints for those who resurrect and reign with Christ will not be hurt of the second death. The meaning of the term, judgment was committed unto them means authority to rule. Jesus will sit in the city of Jerusalem while others will rule in other cities. It's like a governing system established by God. Those who will join Jesus to rule will be handpicked by God and not by democratic election.

Before Isreal had a king like other nations, what they had were judges appointed by God himself. They were not there judging who is fit for God's kingdom or not. They are strictly administrators.

In the same sense, those who judgment will be committed unto are administrators. They are not judging sin.

During that 1,000 years, quite a few of those who had received the mark of the beast will still be alive but they will not be able to cause any form of harm because Satan is bound for 1,000 years. But after the 1,000 years is over, Satan will be loosed for a season and deceive those who already had the mark who also must have multiplied in number during this 1,000 years.

It was after Satan was thrown into the Lake of fire that judgment of God was set and not during the 1,000.

Revelation 20:10-12..

10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead WERE JUDGED OUT OF THOSE THINGS WHICH WERE WRITTEN in the books, ACCORDING TO THEIR WORKS.

Every one will be judged according to the works they did on earth.

It's also important to note that not everyone will be part of the Millennium Reign of Christ on earth. It is exclusive for the saved Jews and the Jews who were persecuted to death that refused to receive the mark of the beast or the number of his name.

The church will not be there except for selected few who will join our Lord Jesus in the administrative process. These are the ones judgment will be committed unto.

Why is it that whenever someone tries to be sure of what most preachers are saying, the next thing is insult and anger? But Jehovah's Witnesses aren't like that in all their presentations (1Peter 3:15)
You can only see someone facelessly insulting you on social media claiming to be one of Jehovah's witnesses. The truth is that Jehovah's witnesses aren't trained to preach facelessly so whenever you see someone arguing bitterly with anger know today that such a person is still an interested person NOT A CONFIRMED member of the organization,so they prefer to preach FACELESSLY on social media since they've not gotten the power of the Holy Spirit which gives true preachers boldness, confidence and coupled with virtue. Act 1:8 compared with Act 26:24-29
That's why i've been asking some of your friends on NL to direct me to those who can be seen since it's obvious all of them are lacking in self-control, perhaps i'll found someone well behaved with deep respect with their approach like the JWs. undecided undecided

I wasn't born a JW and i hate that religion(Jehovah's Witnesses) with a passion i tried all i could to find another happy group just to forget about them but i can't just beat the feeling that they're the ONE and ONLY group that's gotten all the credits when it comes to displaying the qualities of God's Holy Spirit. Galatians 5:22,23
God bless you Sir!
Let me deal with the issue of the immorality of the soul and how to correlate it with other Scriptures that insinuate the the soul dies.

The first point I want to make is that in English language, most words have multiple usages. So why a particular word might mean this in a context, it means something else in another context. I will give a few examples to buttress my point.

If you check out the meaning of the word fellowship, see the different meaning attached to it from the dictionary.

Noun
1.A company of people that share the same interest or aim.
2.A feeling of friendship, relatedness or connection between people.
3.A merit-based scholarship.
4.A temporary position at an academic institution with limited teaching duties and ample time for research; this may also be called a postdoc.
(medicine)
5.A period of supervised, sub-specialty medical training in the United States and Canada that a physician may undertake after completing a specialty training program or residency.
6. (arithmetic) The proportional division of profit and loss among partners.

So it will be wrong to take for instance the first meaning and ascribe it to the word fellowship in every context.

In the same way, the word soul is not used in the same context everywhere in the Bible. See the dictionary definition of the word soul.

Noun
1. (religion) The spirit or essence of a person usually thought to consist of one's thoughts and personality. Often believed to live on after the person's death. ▼ show
2. The spirit or essence of anything.
3. Life, energy, vigor. ▼ show
4. (music) Soul music.
5. A person, especially as one among many. ▼ show
6. An individual life.
Fifty souls were lost when the ship sank.
7.(math) A kind of submanifold involved in the soul theorem of Riemannian geometry.

You see the different meaning ascribed to the word soul. However, in the biblical context, it is either used as point 1 or 6 above.

As point 1, it refers to that part of the man that does not die. It is the intellectual center of the man. It is the seat of emotion, reasonings and feelings. That is why the death are still conscious after death. It is the soul of man that goes to hell after death.

Apostle Peter in his first crusade talked about the soul of Jesus not left in hell. And he clearly distinguished it from his body which he said, God did not allow it to decay.

Act 2:31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh (body) did see corruption (decay).

But in other context, the word soul simply means the individual.

Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul (being).

Gen 12:5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls (people or individuals) that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.

In this context, the soul dies because it refers to the individual.

But in the other context, the soul is that part of a man that lives forever and has memory and very conscious.

Now concerning Solomon being acknowledged by Jesus as a man full of wisdom doesn't mean that all he said and did was right. King Solomon in his wisdom married 700 wives and had 300 concubines which led him astray from God. He even built houses for their gods.

Jesus is the embodiment of truth. Until Jesus came, certain truths were not very clear. He even gave counter instructions to is contrary to the law of Moses which the Jews adore.

If you want to know the truth about any subject, find out what Jesus and his Apostles taught on the subject. Don't use Ecclesiastes or Psalms or any other Old Testament book as an authority. We still get valuable information from the Old Testament but when it contradicts the teachings of Jesus and his Apostles, it should be discarded. Remember, Jesus is the one that has been appointed to judge the world, not Moses or Solomon.
