Mumu!

How many are the Apostles that remained with Jesus after many left him saying he was teaching HERESY? John 6:63-68

Ọmọ he was praying with his twelve Apostles that's what makes "THEM" and he doesn't pray for the world means not for everyone after all he was sent because his father love the world {John 3:16} but he must pray only for those that accepted his teachings! Proverbs 28:9

The Bible belongs to Jehovah's Witnesses so if you don't agree with us you can't agree with our book! wink
I can't agree with your books until it has stopped spreading heresy.
John 6 (KJV)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
⁴⁶ Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.
⁴⁷ Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
⁴⁸ I am that bread of life.
⁴⁹ Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
⁵⁰ This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
⁵¹ I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
⁵² The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
⁵³ Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
⁵⁴ Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
⁵⁵ For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
⁵⁶ He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
⁵⁷ As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
⁵⁸ This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
⁵⁹ These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
⁶⁰ Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
⁶¹ When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?
⁶² What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
⁶³ It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
⁶⁴ But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.
⁶⁵ And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
⁶⁶ From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.


Those who left did not understand His Words… I do.

So if he mention the name Jehovah's Witnesses which religion will not say they are Jehovah's Witnesses today?

Na so your mumu reach? cheesy
That's it…
Religion, religion, religion.

That's the motive of religion.
Seize the people, program their thinking and behaviour, set yourself supreme over them.

If you think you're the ones doing the right, what about the Mormons, Catholics, Judaisms, etc?

You talk like a child honestly…

The topic is not about the child of adultery but about adultery, polygamy,unfaithfulness and sin of a married person.

And the bold, do you not see the madness there? Is pregnancy not proof that he had slept with her? Anyway, that is off point.

And the point is God Sees our sins, which is what i am looking at.
Did you even realize the first child died and Solomon was the next?
That's what I'm saying.

It was no longer accredited to David after she became his wife.

How can someone be nasty to you if you truly render them help? It doesn't make sense. This means that for every cause, there is an equal effect. Read his writeup sir, the answer is there. Even our parents that help us, we don't call them often or even show them off, it doesn't mean we don't think about them.
Him wanting to be wished hbd on social media cos his bro post other people says alot. For example, I'm a die hard fan of kpop especially BTS, I post them everyday. But my parents, I don't even post them, say on birthdays and sometimes not. But I give them things, may not call them often. But imagine them getting angry that I post a musical boy group more than them. That's silly and petty 😂😂😂. I don laugh tire cos I can't seem to find fault in his younger one order than the fact that the writer feels he is alpha and Omega and besides him, his younger sibling will not survive. Make he commot him hand and see if the guy will die.
It's easy to disprove something because you've never experienced it before.

That's all I'll say.

Oga, he's not saying anything that is true. In his writeup lies the answer. He's bragging about rendering help to him. I'm sure he says the same thing to his brother's face. That's why the young man doesn't tell him anything. All his words are about him being worshipped just cos he pays the bills. If not, y is he concerned that his bro doesn't call him? That one nor b talk na. He even get credit to call am? Y his he concerned his bro doesn't post him on social media? He didn't say his bro doesn't wish him hbd o, he said he doesn't post him on social media on his bday. grin grin grin
Don't say what you don't know if you're not in his shoes.

Really?
JESUS CHRIST didn't mention JWs anywhere there!

Matthew 10 (KJV)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
²⁵ It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?
²⁶ Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.


I get you now… you think this is like trying to insult your religion?
Goodness gracious!!
I'm telling you the fact here!

You're trying to twist it but not reasonably. cheesy
JESUS CHRIST said there, "I pray not for the world..."

But He used the plural form, meaning He's talking about many people.

“I pray for THEM: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.”
— John 17:9 (KJV

“Neither pray I for THESE alone, but for THEM also which shall believe on me through their word;”
— John 17:20 (KJV))

Now the 'these' and 'them', is it one person?

See mumu!

If we tell you that you know nothing about the Christ you will start blabbing up and down.

Jesus commanded us never to pray when men are trying to observe us do so {Matthew 6:5-6} he never prayed in the presence of his disciples that's why they begged him to teach them how to pray {Luke 11:1} so the first time he prayed with them apostle John was so exited that he later penned down all the words in Jesus' prayers {John chapter 17} and noteworthy is when he said:

For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.John 17:8-9

So Jesus won't pray for anyone or with anyone unless the person has fully agreed to live by Jesus' teachings and that's in accordance with what prophets of ancient times penned down regarding prayer! Proverbs 28:9; Jeremiah 11:14; 14:11

So Mr Westerhoffe real disciples of Christ can't pray to entertain you it's against the teachings of our Master, Lord and King Christ Jesus! smiley
I don't know if to laugh at this comment or not.
In Matthew 6:5-6, JESUS CHRIST gave a directive for prayers. Yes.
The John 17 you quoted, was JESUS CHRIST not praying there?

Saying Amen to your prayers or prayers of any other person not a Jehovah's Witness is as good as outlawed and regimented by their GODS of men housed in USA. To them, it is like saying Amen to the prayers of a Devil.

MaxInDHouse:
Most people only listen to rumors about God's people (JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES) instead of them to get closer and know what we believe they just sum up whatever they heard from others and carry it on their heads.
Below is what is found in the book we are studying with our Bible students or new converts.

Chapter 9 in our book: Enjoy Life Forever!

Draw Close to God Through Prayer

Do you ever feel that you need guidance in life? Do you have important questions that you want answered? Do you need comfort or reassurance? Would you like to feel closer to Jehovah? Prayer can help you fill all of those needs. But what is the right way to pray? Does God listen to all prayers? What can you do to make sure that he will hear your prayers? Let us see.

1. To whom should we pray, and what can we pray about?

Jesus taught that we should pray only to our heavenly Father. Jesus himself prayed to Jehovah. He said: “You must pray, then, this way: ‘Our Father in the heavens . . .’” (Matthew 6:9) When we pray to Jehovah, we strengthen our friendship with him.We can pray about practically any matter. Of course, for God to answer our prayers, they must be in harmony with his will. “No matter what we ask according to [God’s] will, he hears us.” (1 John 5:14) Jesus gave examples of appropriate things to pray for. (Read Matthew 6:9-13.) In addition to praying about our personal concerns, we must not forget to thank God for what he has done for us and ask him to help others.

2. How should we pray?

The Bible encourages us to “pour out [our] hearts before [God].” (Psalm 62:cool So our prayers should be sincere and heartfelt. We can pray aloud or silently and in any respectful body position. We can pray at any time and in any location.

3. How does God answer our prayers?

He does so in a variety of ways. Jehovah has provided his Word, the Bible, where we often find answers to our questions. Reading God’s Word can “[make] the inexperienced one wise.” (Psalm 19:7; read James 1:5.) He can give us peace of mind when we face challenges. And he can move his worshippers to help us when we really need it.

Mr Westerhoffe is it clear to you now that JWs use to pray? cheesy
But do you pray?
I have neighbours and former schoolmates who are JWs, and they never ever pray.
Even to just close their eyes, it's mortal combat.

Writing it down is not same as practicing it.

²⁵ At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
²⁶ Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.

So every dream is a message from the god?
If you are a true follower of JESUS CHRIST, He'll give you a discerning Spirit to know which dream is from Him and which is not.
Likewise, if you are deep in the Spirit, whenever you have a dream, you will know where it is from.

Moreso, the content of your dream also carries a message.
