Whnever they(jehovah witness) approach u again, try to listen meticulously to every of their analysis so dat u dont go outside nd start fumbling again...ok

lacum: In Hebrew the name of God is spelled YHWH.
Since ancient Hebrew had no written vowels, it
is uncertain how the name was pronounced
originally, but there are records of the name
in Greek, which did have written vowels. These
records indicate that in all likelihood the name
should be pronounced "Yahweh."
Shortly before the first century A.D., it
became common for Jews to avoid saying the
divine name for fear of misusing it and
breaking the second commandment ("You shall
not take the name of the Lord, your God, in
vain," Dt 5:11). Whenever they read Scripture
aloud and encountered the divine name, they
substituted another Hebrew word,
"Adonai" (which means "Lord" or "my Lord",
in its place.
Eventually Hebrew developed written vowels,
which appeared as small marks called vowel
points and were placed above and below the
consonants of a word. In the sixth or seventh
century some Jews began to place the vowel
points for "Adonai" over the consonants for
"Yahweh" to remind the reader of Scripture to
say "Adonai" whenever he read "Yahweh."
About the 13th century the term "Jehovah"
appeared when Christian scholars took the
consonants of "Yahweh" and pronounced it
with the vowels of "Adonai." This resulted in
the sound "Yahowah," which has a Latinized
spelling of "Jehovah." The first recorded use of
this spelling was made by a Spanish Dominican
monk, Raymundus Martini, in 1270.
Interestingly, this fact is admitted in much
Jehovah's Witness literature, such as their Aid
to Bible Understanding (p. 885). This is
surprising because Jehovah's Witnesses loathe
the Catholic Church and have done everything
in their power to strip their church of traces
of Catholicism. Despite this, their group's very
name contains a Catholic "invention," the
name "Jehovah."
Jehovah's Witnesses blast orthodox
Christendom for "hiding the name of God" by
replacing "Jehovah" with "the Lord" whenever
"Jehovah" appears in Scripture. They charge
this is a Jewish "superstition" that dishonors
God (which it does not). Yet their own
organization has a name that was invented as a
result of the same thinking that produced use
of "the Lord."

wiegraf: This is what deep sight causes with his shenanigans. Sad part is any potential minions with any sort of functional brain can spot the folly from a long, long way off. You have to be particularly stoopid to not spot it. Even an onyfrank would be slightly weary. Only the finest eediots take it to heart, then engage thinking they now have a 'point'. We're therefore left with having to deal with the likes of josh while that troll drinks stout somewhere...

Syncan: Rev 12. The Queen gave birth to the son taken to the throne of God. If you see anywhere that "Jesus wife" was described as queen, let me know.

Syncan: Here is my response to you. Lk 23:9.

italo: Sorry, I decide to correct what I feel needs correction.

One can remain a Christian without the Bible. All the apostles and their companions never saw a Bible...and they remained Christians.

italo: The people who were converted at Pentecost...

1. When did they become Christians, before reading the Bible or not?

tobechi20: Christianity is not defined solely by the Bible. That in fact, a Christian never even has to have read the Bible in order to be a Christian. That a Christian can still be a Christian even though they may pick and choose what they believe in the Bible, because it is not a demand that they follow the Bible .




My evidence: When Christianity first began, there was not a such thing as a Bible. When Paul was preaching his message, the New Testament had just began loosely forming in the aspect that he was writing letters (which were not scripture). Even the OT canon was not closed until after Paul was dead. And during the time of Paul, different groups subscribed to different works of Hebrew scripture.

RoyPCain: no such animal. the guy gave us french newspaper, with no topic related to angola or islam on an english website.

i search goggle and nothing on angola banning or disallowing muslims to be muslims or building of mosques.

there are muslims in portugal. in brazil. in sao tome. how is angola gonna be the leader of failure by digging its own grave so early?

islam is from God. the only religion for success.

Ukuts gp: my guy there is hell. Just believe it lest u will be disapointed on that day. It is just those man-made visions i doubt.

As i said earlier,
i do not provide this links in order to justify whether, or not, your 607BC right or wrong , but to tell you that the watchtower 1914 is a lie. I knw you have been brainwashed never to accept anything or information that is not in tune with watchtower.
Note that the most reliable source of information, where most of the writers of awake and watchtower magazine get their facts, is encyclopedia britainicca (you can prove me wrong my dear cos im a great reader of awake). And according to them, the period of the destruction is 587BC and not 607BC as being taught by watchtower. And note that encyclopedia britainica will never quote watchtower or awake in their research but watchtower will always quote them. This means that, to a large extent, watchtower sees their source as credible and reliable.

So my point here is this, why is it that they are no longer reliable or credible, cos they go against your 607BC but are reliable when you agree with other information they supply you?

I am not here to disprove or approve any date, be it 607BC or 586Bc cos non of the dates has anythin to do with the coming of Jesus. I mean non. This date is just a fabrication of JW in order to justify their 1914 at all cost.

Open your mind my brother, i wont succumb to blackmail for me to soften my stand on what i know is an obvios falsehood. I wont.

arsenalwenger: The following facts should be establised:
<The calendar system used by the Jews during the babylonian era is different frm this gregorian era. Gregorian era has 365days as 1yr while the Jews calender uses 360days for 1yr. U cannot calculate a BC era using Jewish calender system and conclude ur prediction, during AD era, using gregorian callender. Its like saying 15'C (centigrade)+45'F (ferenhiet) is equal to 60. So this fact knocks out 1914 as false

<Secular history has it that the babylonians destroyed Jerusalem in 587 BC as aginst 607 BC as taught by JW.

<The dream of Nebuchadnezer which gave room to this calcualtion is never in anyway related to christ coming. The sysmbolic tree that was cut off was interpreted by Daniel as the fall of Nebucadnezer and his goin insane for certain period so that he can acknowleged the most high.

<Christ never say his coming will be invisible (Read Act 2)

<Christ says ALL authority has been given unto him in heaven, on earth and underneath the earth. He made the statement immediately after his ressurection. So christ's had been exercising his heavenly authority for over 2012 years and did not start in 1914.

Many many proofs and biblical evidence shows that the year 1914, as being taught by JW, is false.

JMAN05: Let anyone who wish to be blind remain blind. the bible said 70 years and some blind men want to discredit Jehovah's accurate statement. In short any person that says that it is 50 years, just ignore that person, if he rejects God's word, who are you then? When I see those silly comments, I often ignore them with short sentence and look for serious argument.

aManFromMars: When we get to that bridge, we shall cross it. Together.

striktlymi: NO!!!

As far as nairaland is concerned, posts are limited to a certain number of 'characters' beyond which a new post must be made. If they weren't then you would have been right in your assessment. As it stands, there will definitely be a need to move from post to post giving this limitation. Allowing complaints there would hinder the flow and for me that is not acceptable and it constitutes a major distraction.

Consider a situation where you or the mods would need to make an update but instead of doing that on the first passage, you find yourselves doing that after 10 pages of complaints. This for me is NOT proper.

If I click on a reference thread, I expect to see references and not complaints. If I can't find what I am looking for on the first page, I should be able to follow through my search orderly without having to go through the hassle of the 'distractions'.

Recall that a Reference thread is also desirable because of the convenience it affords members. Any post that brings about any inconvenience is unwelcomed in my view and that is what complaints do on that thread.

aManFromMars: Oh boy, updates are made on the first page. All I have to do is modify the first posts. I really don't get your point.

aManFromMars: @logicboy


Waiting for mass to end.....

Syncan: Call me a fraud if it makes you sleep well.

Syncan: That prayer is for the one who made the post I quoted, you especially will benefit from it, for your words so far, dear friend ,have been uncharitable to me.

Syncan: Lord teach me to keep my mouth shut,until I know what I'm talking about.

Syncan: Please let's not worry about what theologians say or not. Lets agree that God was talking to His son, and that a queen dressed in ophir was sitting at the Son's right hand. Just as the scripture says.

Syncan: Thanks VickyO. Note that I never said anything about a wedding, nor did I talk of Rev 10. All I did was Point to psalm 45:6 as a prophecy of God the father talking to the Son about his Scepter and throne. This could only happen in heaven. In verse Nine it talked about the queen sitting at the right of the Son. I supported this with Hebrews showing that It was God, talking to His Son. For in that Hebrews, God also addressed the angels. You may want to re-trace the genesis of this my post.

Syncan: Who is God to you? Slave of heaven or King of heaven? You complain of "twisting" scripture, who is "twisting" meanings now?


"Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre...upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir". Psalm 45:6-9.

How is this queen, exulted above this king?
