Dtruthspeaker:
Those close to them know their secrets

Now, since it's those close to them that know their secrets, does that aspect of them not remain a mystery to others?
And still, there is definitely something about them that no one knows.

No one can know the whole secret and mystery of God.
God is not a human. God is a Spirit.
If anyone claims to know everything about God, then I'll ask them to then tell me how God came to be, and what He's made of.

The one who is having a hard time understanding his own words is you.

*You believe in destiny.

*It is your destiny to die in a car crash but you don't know it.

*You dream you die in a car crash.

*You wake up and start praying against the destiny you believe in.

Reading this doesn't it sound contradictory to you?

This is what you are saying and still asking me how it is contradictory.

Listen to yourself… you're the very one not understanding anything I comment.
It is contradictory to you because you added your words and sought your version of understanding to it.

Go back, read carefully, patiently, and you will understand the simple words.

*If it is your destiny to die that way, you won't know until it happens.

What here is too difficult for you to understand?

You are contradicting yourself. Your claim you are destined to die a certain way, yet you are praying against it.

If you are destined to die, then there is no way your prayer will stop it whether you know it from a dream or otherwise.

You are the one not getting it.
Check my previous comment again; this time with the intention to understand it.

I'm not gon argue with you on this.

Christianity Etc › Re: JW 040: Hebrews 1:5 God Introduced Jesus As His Son by Westerhoffe(m): 5:29pm On Sep 19, 2025

MaxInDHouse: Jesus is an angel but the point i'm making is that it's the name Jesus that's given to mankind not his angelic name.

Jews and many churchians today pray in the name of angels for instance they will say: holy Michael, holy Gabriel, holy this holy that when praying to their God but the only name given to believers that we can use in prayer to our God is "Jesus"

The reason is that back in heaven he bears the name "Michael" but here that he walked among us and gave his life as ransom for our sin the name he was called is "Jesus" that's the import of Hebrews 1:5

Thank you.

Show me where Glad called Jesus Christ an angel.

You even had to lie that Jesus is Angel Michael!

Prove it.

If you've been destined to die in a certain way or time then why do you pray against death?

Destined to die in a way is not what anyone knows about, so when you have a bad dream of dying, you have every reason to pray against it.
No human knows how and when they're going to die.
If it is your destiny, you won't even know until it happens.

There is no reason for you to feel ashamed for that.
Not like you did anything wrong here.
The best you can do is pick your Bible and notes, get to your seat, and let them take their Sunday School themselves.

Alhough I don't know how the people in that church are reacting towards you over it, but that you accepted, studied, and took it is enough for you.

Only that next time, if they ask you to take it up again, ask if the pastor is aware.

Christianity Etc › Re: God Created Jesus To Be His Exact Image by Westerhoffe(m): 4:41pm On Sep 19, 2025

gohf:
Now think about a comic artist, or a manga/manhua for those into asian sketched stories. Now if the artist who is the creator of those characters in sketched up world, decides to draw a character and name that character after himself or call it, his image having a power to erase or rule in his sketched up world.

The first question is, is this image, this character given such power and authority to erase, created? Yes it is, yes he/she, the character is created.

Second question, is that character the creator, the comic artist? The answer is No

The question then is, even though without a doubt (personally) Jesus is the image of God why do some call him God, even when the creator and author did not call him or tell others to call him God?

Good Himself declared Jesus God, for us all to serve and worship. Daniel 7 (KJV)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
¹³ I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
¹⁴ And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

And then, God said:

“But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.”
— Hebrews 1:8 (KJV)

If God called Jesus God, who then are we to say God is wrong?

And besides, can you show me where God said He created Jesus Christ?
And what He used in creating Him.

Islam › Re: Is Reproduction Our Purpose Or Sin Caused It? by Westerhoffe(m): 4:29pm On Sep 19, 2025

Is there any method available for humans to multiply, if not through intimacy?

Because the Bible says:

Genesis 1 (KJV)

²⁶ And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
²⁷ So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
²⁸ And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
²⁹ And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
³⁰ And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
³¹ And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

If it were a sin, would God have done it?

John 3:16
God sent his only begotten son, Jesus Christ.
Revelation 1:1, Yahweh sent Jesus.
The Greek word for Isaiah & Jesus Christ is aggelos (angel).
Anyone Yahweh sent is aggelos.

If, according to you, then that should make me an angel too.
That should make every pastor, apostle, prophet, and disciple an angel, too.

But the Bible, even in the Old Testament, spoke about the Son of God, as well as the New Testament, which says, Jesus is the Son of God, not an angel of God.

AntiChristian:
I don't want to know. If God didn't create grace and mercy before Jesus then that's also discriminatory! Why rule Israel with iron hand and then when your son comes around you brandish grace and mercy? What ideology is that? Can't you see all the killings in the Old testament? But when Jesus came God stopped killing people! If that were to be done by any human we'll judge such to be unfair!

Come off all these rhetorics! He didn't come to abolish the law but he refused to apply the law on people? He was without sin. Didn't the Bible say honor your mother and your father. How many people in the Bible called their mother "O woman" like Jesus did? And Jesus already said by himself he can do nothing! He can't even save himself not to talk of anyone!

He can't deal with himself. The authority he got was granted by someone up above! And I will be alive because I'm not among Jesus's flock. His flock were Israelites of his days! I think it is your argument that is baseless and meaningless!

You don't want to know? That's why you remain ignorant.
You see the truth, your soul abhors it because you hate to know the truth. What then does that make you?

Do you think this is all about argument or debate? 🤣
If God takes you, who would challenge Him for taking you off? 🤣
Or why do you Muslims chant Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un
Why not go up to heaven and challenge God?
You're not making any sense to me even.

Now, away from the hilarious section of your comment, why did Allah order the killing of non-muslims?

Does God hide anything He does from the Bible?
Who did the Bible say Jesus Christ came to meet, according to John 1:11,12? Were they not still His people? Come on! Think!

And I'll ask again, does pardoning any offender abolish the law? Be sincere. Answer with the tiny honesty left in you.

You are not yet of His flock because you've been programmed not to. But when it's time, He will come for you Himself.

Repeating the same thing many times does not make it the truth!

I agree that's what you've been on and it'll be difficult to see reasons!

You just proved Jesus lied sha in Matthew 5:12! He came to abolish the law with Grace and mercy theory! But he said otherwise!
Thanks for your time!

And here you go repeating your wish, but unfortunately for you, reality doesn't go your way.
If you are knowledgeable enough, you should know the meaning of grace and mercy.

Jesus Christ didn't come to abolish the law, just as He had said, but to fulfill it, in which He Himself kept the law by abstaining from sin.

And for Him to show mercy and grace to everyone, hereby giving everyone including you a chance for repentance is not abolishing the law, because trust me, you don't want to die in your sins without believing in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour.

If Jesus Christ was to deal with everyone according to the law and not show mercy and grace, what makes you think you should still be alive today?
My friend, that is grace and mercy He has extended towards you too.

So, here, your arguments are baseless and meaningless in totality.

Christianity Etc › Re: JW 041 “Stop Judging That You May Not Be Judged" by Westerhoffe(m): 9:42am On Sep 16, 2025*

AntiChristian:
You still failed to explain how Matthew 5:17 doesn't contradict your John 1:17!

Did Jesus lied he did not come to abolish the law since you claim he came to abolish it?

Even the Holy Spirit is helpless in this.

Premise 1:
The Purpose of Jesus' Parables
…He replied, “The mystery of the kingdom of God has been given to you (i.e. the disciples), but to those on the outside everything is expressed in parables, so that, ‘ they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven.[/b]Mark 4:11-12.

[b]Premise 2:
Everyone the Father gives me will come to me. John 6:37.

Premise 1 simply says Jesus spoke in parables so that some will be ever seeing but not perceiving and ever hearing but not understanding so that they won't repent!

Premise 2 says Jesus's father has already given him some flocks that he will save! So whoever is not among the father's flock given to him is not among!

Your "Holy Spirit" explained it wrongly!

That is why the Lord Jesus Christ said, to people like you, it is not given to understand the mystery of the kingdom of God, because you would not come to Him that you might be saved.

First, what do you understand by the word 'grace' and 'mercy'?
Grace:
(uncountable,theology) Free and undeserved favour, especially of God; unmerited divine assistance given to humans for their regeneration or sanctification, or for resisting sin.

Mercy:
(uncountable) Relenting; forbearance to cause or allow harm to another.
Synonyms: ruth, kindness, leniency

Now, when Jesus Christ said He will have mercy and show grace, how will mercy and grace be manifested if not by pardoning an offender?
Will you pardon a non-offender and call it mercy or grace when they have done nothing wrong?

These are the differences between Jesus Christ and your prophet.

Secondly, you denied the Holy Spirit because He was never in you, and you failed to have Him in you because you have never believed in who should have given Him to you.

According to you, you want to insist that whoever is not an Israelite will not believe, hear nor understand, but mercy and grace still break through according to:
John 1 (KJV)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
¹¹ He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
¹² But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
¹³ Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

Who do you even liken God to?
When Jesus Christ said:
Acts 1 (KJV)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
⁷ And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
⁸ But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Now, you failed to understand the power in grace and mercy, that's why you hear but never understand. I heard and understood. You see but never perceived, I saw, and knew! You read and never figure! I read and figured it all!
Why, because I believed in who would open my eyes and understanding, but you refused to.

This is where the Holy Spirit comes in to break the curse of bondage.
That is the blessing in believing in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Or would you say you are among those who would hear and see but never understand or perceive?

Do you even know this:
Acts 2 (KJV)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
³⁸ Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
³⁹ For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
⁴⁰ And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
⁴¹ Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

Why did they, despite the prophecy, being so many, yet they understood, believed, and were converted?

Give your life to Jesus Christ, then you will understand the secret and mystery.

AntiChristian:
Same Jesus said he did not come to abolish the law but to fulfil them Matthew 5:17. How do you fulfil a law without observing it? Your claim are that Jesus abolished the law of Moses but it is clear that when Jesus was asked which was the greatest commandment he mentioned Loving God.... and the neighbour as yourself. All these are part of the laws of Moses.

Was Jesus really meant to call the sinners?

The Purpose of Jesus' Parables
…He replied, “The mystery of the kingdom of God has been given to you (i.e. the disciples), but to those on the outside everything is expressed in parables, so that, ‘ they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven. Mark 4:11-12.

Try explain the words in red!

When mercy and grace speak, the law and its condemnation are folded.

Jesus Christ openly declared He came to call sinners to repentance.
I believe that shouldn't be difficult for you to understand.

To the words in Red, that is why you and everyone alive needs to come to Jesus Christ so that you may understand His words.

Whenever we say you need the Holy Spirit to understand the words of Jesus Christ, this one oart of it.

Now, if you had been for Jesus Christ, you would have also been given the mystery of the kingdom of God.

"Those outside" are those who would not come to Jesus Christ for the salvation of their souls even though they listen to hear, but not to follow or accept.
