Some people use to say that the spirit of their dead relatives or colleagues appear to them often. How true is this? Do you believe in ghost and spirit of the dead appearing to people at one time or the other?

Are dead people still conscious of their environment or not?

Do you as a christian believe that the ghost of dead people exist and can still relate or communicate with humans?

To me i dnt believe it. What about you.

Oga seun pls fp.

1 There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 2 This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.” 3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” 4 Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” 5 Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. -John3:1-6.


what does it mean to be born of water and the spirit from verse 5 above?

@JMAN05

are u people nt using the national currency which is part of this world system? Are u people nt working in government institutions?

Is pledging to serve ur country well a sin? Is a nation a graven images that u bow down to? Should we nt be faithful, loyal, and honest to our country?

Dnt u tell ur wife that u love her with all ur heart? Does that mean u are worshipping her?

AltarBoy1:
show where the constitution says it a must for all to recite the anthem.

do u think the national anthem is not part of the civic duties of the citizens of this country? don't the leaders of this land recognised the national anthem? pls just tell me if singing it is a sin.

AltarBoy1:
Good. For the JW's, cos its what their doctrine teaches them to believe in. I hate it when people question other peoples faith as if theirs is the only true way.

u mean their doctrines or what the bible teaches? is that doctrine in the bible?

AltarBoy1:
Same way some one will ask you why do you pray "in Jesus' name"?

cos it is a name that is above every other names.

Judek2:
Because they don't like the national anthem.

what is wrong with the anthem?

AltarBoy1:
Ukukts, why dont you leave pple alone to practice their faith.

did i disturb them? i just want to know the reason why people do what they do. most people dnt even know why they are doing certain things. they just follow the crowd.

Lordabas:
You people? I'm not a JW o

but u are acting as if u are one of them.

dein77:
It happens when a person refused to donate a pan of blood so as to save another person. At least so they say.

of cos it will offend God, when u hv the means to save someone's life but u dnt.

dein77:
Will you still go ahead to save a life if it clearly offends God?

Won't God count such action an act of worship to Him?

how will saving a life offends God?

Lordabas:
They give their full allegiance,devotion & support to God's kingdom not the land or country in which they live or the govt ruling it.

They don't sing songs that extol the praises of the country

Jehovahs Witnesses are ambassadors for Jehovah's kingdom & back his rightful rule as the sovereign of the universe.

Hence as ambassadors they don't stand and sing someone else praises

the bible says that every soul should be subject to the governing authority. why are u people not obeying that?

dein77:
Since they claim their government is not of this world, they can as well stop using the currencies, airplanes, vehicles, and other utilities of this world.

No mortal can fulfil the demands of the law!

u are right. Cos the bible say we must submit to the leaders that be.

Lordabas:
You could potentially knock on every door in every street to find out your answer in true Jehovah witness style. Just remember to make sure its when there are good programs on tv when you do it so as to annoy as many as possible

i'm just asking now, it is nt quarrel. just explain the reasons to me in full. that's all. is singing the national anthem a sin?

1 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. -Romans 13:1-2

what about this scripture?


Romans 13:1-2

Lordabas:
They dont want to submit to any other higher power other than God. They feel singing the national anthem is undermining God

but are they not contradicting this scripture?



13 Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake, whether to the king as supreme, 14 or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do good. -1peter2:13-14.

Cutehector4u:
Lol because the name Jehovah is not in it....

are u one of their members?

why is it that the Jehovah Witness don't sing the national anthem? they keep mute when others are singing it. what are their reasons for that?

Kylekent59:
But catholics are christians nd chris okotie is a christian too. Is is bad for u to abuse other religion. But every thing in d bible deals with catholic. Cus he said:
do this in memory of me.
Even washing of d feet.
Baptising with water.
Body of christ
ascention of mary who was clothed with 12stars.
YYY do other christians hate catholics so much?? Is it because we are following d teachings of Jesus christ

it is because of ur pagan practices which are unchristian.

The man is nt far from the truth. The roman catholic are nt christians at all. The truth will always be bitter.

Where did they baptised infants in the bible? Show me.

Those paying tithe are still following the law of moses.

craziebone:
i think what a christian and an intellectual would have replied to my post you quoted is that; he would have asked me to show that the bible doesn't teach those things you said it teaches! He wouldn't have resorted to angry and hate words.

Op, if you want to have an intellectually and spiritually inspired discussion, you can ask me for my opinion. I must say again that i am not catholic. I attended their school and have read a lot about them so i know a whole lot about them that some people mistake me for one. There are certain things i do not agree with them on. But i am someone who likes a discussion where everyone can be free to face the possibility of know that what we use to believe is absolutely untrue.

i just came here to debunk the claim that u people compiled the bible and i have done just that. Cos i hate hearing that. The bible had been compiled before your so called roman catholic came into existence. They are all in the post. U can read it up.

I dnt hv to reply u on the other matters. That is for another day. I have other business to attend to.

I dnt have ur time.

craziebone:
if you actually did your own research, why then did you post other people's claim and not your? Why then did you have to resort to plagiarism just to cover up your fears?

so all the lies u people have been spreading, is it nt other people work too. Were u there when the bible was compiled?

At least i hv given out the link for u to see.

I know u are scared of it.

craziebone:
like i said, you are coming in here with someone elses position and not yours. Until you decide to free yourself, i think i have to get back to work. I have so much to do.

i know u cant debunked what is up there. Cos the truth always stands.

Like what someone said, he said ''truth exist, it is only lies that has to be invented''

u are simply nt talented enough to twist the truth. Maybe your teachers like italo, vest, btok, chukwudi and even nnato have nt taught u well the art of telling lies and falsehood. U better learn fast as they are disappointed in u.

craziebone:
that the bible teaches against clerical dress is absolutely untrue.

That the bible teaches against the observation of certain days is absolutely false!

That it teaches you not to call anyone father is a flawed misinterpretation from the one whose falsehood you copied and pasted.

That it teaches that peter is not the one Jesus refered to is nothing but a deliberate denial on the part of the person you follow like a robot and refuse to think for yourself.

u can go and die if u want. Is that the reason u people are worshipping pope instead of christ. Following mere mortals like the pope. Licking his foot?

I dnt have ur time this morning. I know the bible and ur likes is too small to deceive me. U are too small to do this.

I want to thank this site for bringing out the truth on the bible compilation.

http://www.bible.ca/cath-bible-origin.htm

@HARMONIEE, read and dnt allow roman catholic to deceive u that they gave the world the bible. It is a lie from the pit of hell. They did not compile or give any bible. Dnt swallow those lies that they are spreading all around. Roman catholic members are nt christians.

craziebone:
it is clear what you are puting is not your personal conclusion but the conclusion of others which they arrived at without giving careful consideration to certain factors.

When you start thinking yourself, then we can talk.

so what is up there is not true? or i should explain it to you? nonsense.

only those who cannot read or do their own research that will be fooled by those roman catholic not me.

In the light of the foregoing, the boastful
claim of the Roman Catholic Church that
it has been the sole guardian and
preserver of the sacred Scriptures down
to the present, is nothing but pure
falsehood. The Bible is not a Catholic
book. Catholics did not write it, nor does
their doctrines and church meet the
description of the doctrine and church of
which it speaks. The New Testament was
completed before the end of the first
century, A.D. The things in it do not
correspond to the Catholic Church which
hundreds of years after the death of the
apostles slowly evolved into what it now
is. The Catholic Church is not the
original and true church, but a "church"
born of many departures and
corruptions from the New Testament
church. Even if the Catholic Church could
prove that it alone is the sole deliverer of
the Scriptures to man today, it still
remains that the Catholic Church is not
following the Bible and is contrary to the
Bible. Furthermore, even if the Catholic
Church could show conclusively that it
alone is responsible for gathering the
books, it does not prove that the Catholic
Church is infallible, nor does it prove
that it is the author of the Bible. God has
at times used evil agencies to accomplish
His purpose (Jer. 27:6-8; 43:10; Hab.
1:5-11; John 11:49-52).




We have studied, therefore, that the
Catholic Church argues that since one of
its councils in 390 selected the sacred
books, one can accept them only on the
basis of its authority. We have answered
by showing: (1) The Bible is inspired and
has authority, not because a church
declared it so but because God made it
so. (2) Jesus did not teach the people in
His day that they could accept the Old
Testament Scriptures only on the basis of
those who placed the books into one
volume. (3) It is a mere assumption that
the Council of Hippo in 390 was a
Council of the church which is now the
Roman Catholic Church. (4) God did not
give councils the authority to select His
sacred books, nor does He expect men to
receive His books only on the basis of
councils. (5) The Catholic Church is not
solely responsible for the gathering and
selection of the New Testament books. (6)
The Catholic Church has not been the
sole possessor of the Bible at any time.
(7) Even if it could be proven that the
Catholic Church gathered the books into
one volume, it still remains that it is not
following the Bible today. thanks.


italo, btok, craziebone, vest, Nora. and others.

u hv seen that the roman catholic church did not compile or give the bible.
