Wow! Three responses to just one post! ![]() Well love is helping both the oppressor and the oppressed because all are to be saved. So if we are to support one side against another then we are partial, that's why Jesus never take side with anyone his fight was to maintain pure worship without killing anyone be it the oppressors (Romans) or the oppressed (Jews) Jesus came to save all. That's why himself and his disciples (Jehovah's Witnesses) never take sides! Matthew 26:52 ![]() 2 Likes |

tctrills: When people point fingers at us that we don't do politics I ask 'Have you not seen what politics has caused in Nigeria and the world in general? At least we don't oppress anyone or loot your money or launder it or deliver fake promises. We campaign for the real government. The one we campaign for, una no gree accept am, so we can't accept yours too. We are not anti- governmen, we respect the government. Some government officials have said that we even respect government pass. For example, we don't promote hate speech but those who brought up such law do so; we don't spray money cos we respect currency as constitution directs but politicians allow it or do so in their parties and campaigns too; we don't steal or loot or destroy campaign or election materials but political parties under the constitution do so and we don't tell discourage others from voting as everyone has their own freedom to choice As to war in heaven, that was the only war ever. God was not ignorant of that war or it just happened like the ones we see today. It was Jehovah's newly appointed king who engaged in war against his enemies, Satan and the demons who were also in heaven at the time, the seat of government. So as ruler, he ousted, no, he 'hurled' down these wicked ones down from heaven. How will he rule effectively if Satan and his demons are still there accusing both angels and humans as Revelation 12 says. So Jesus Christ carried out the war according to God's mandate and as according to God's mandate, he'll come cleanse these earth from wickedness, destroy Satan and the demons, bring an end to all forma and causes of pain, suffering and injustice where the good ones will enjoy life in peaceful, perfect conditions. I agree that Churches can't stop wars, why should they? When they preach love in the Church but when conflict arise, they promote and bless wars in the name of patriotism, ethnicity and tribalism. They do this because 'they are part of the world' whose ruler is Satan, the one who came to kill and to destroy. All the religions are in romance with politics to strengthen it. Either they promote political interests or they perish Let your kingdom come O Jehovah, let it come!!! Human government are failing us and oppressing us and blind people are still putting hope on fellow man who can die before the elections, be impeached or even resign. They are obedient to mortal man and not God and Jesus Christ who are bringing kingdom blessings Me I pity the person that will leave his comfort zone to rule this country of over 200 million especially in the conditions we are seeing. People are praying for dollars to increase against naira cos of selfish interest, people are hoping for for it to decrease. Even if dollars is equal to 1kobo, it won't end our problem cos THE PROBLEM OF MAN IS MORAL AND NOT POLITICAL. It's foolish to use political means to end moral problems 2 Likes 1 Share |

Aemmyjah: It would have been better if you broke down your thoughts into little posts but then let me try to reply all. First, politics is not the cause of the bad governance in Nigeria. Putting the blame on politics shows you don't understand the meaning of politics. Blaming politics is like blaming science. Politics like science are tools that can be used for good or for bad. It's also interesting you used Nigeria and not countries like Switzerland and the US that have a great system of government. As for the war in heaven, there was only one recorded war so let's not say what we don't know. The bible only recorded one war. We don't know if other wars were fought. We all understand the purpose of the war in heaven. But also on earth there have been wars for righteous purposes such as the war against slavery also known as the American civil war. I don't know where you get your facts from but saying human governments are failing us is a long stretch. Thanks to improving governments, the world is now a better place than at any previous time. In almost every constitution, slavery is an evil. We now have basic human rights. There is less racism and discrimination than at any other time on earth. The governments are not perfect but over time they keep getting better. Thanks to the governments of the world today, Jehovah witnesses can spread their gospel in peace without being harassed in most nations of the world. People fought and died to make this happen for you. That is love. 3 Likes |

tctrills: We have records of more war casualties and there's a probability that life would wipe out if nuclear weapons are used and you say that the world is getting better. I winder the kind of eyeglasses you used as if you have not been seeing protests, taking governments to court, insurrection, strikes, etc which is unprecedented. What of terrorism and inflation and crime and unemployment, yet you say the world is now a better place. I hope you're not under lockdown in a underground where you're shielded from news. Yes, slave trade has reduced drastically but have you seen that slavery is still been done in 'subtle forms' Which righteous war? Shame. Any righteous was will not affect the life or lives of innocent people Differentiate sciences and politics or combine them, they have helped one way or the other but they have not solved world problems but rather contributed to it Less racism and discrimination? Were you alive and witnessed what happened globally in 2020 about George Floyd. Why are players taking a knee before they start matches? What happens to black players after a bad game? If politics is not the cause of bad governance, what is it? Don't forget I say that man's problem is moral not political As of War in heaven, war occur between two opposite sides and the aim is to defeat or resist the other. The Bible mentions of that war in Revelation 12. Either you believe Satan and his demons have been resisting Jesus Christ and the angels who they could not defeat or you believe what the Bible says that there was a war and the devils side was defeated and expelled from heaven. Or you want to go and mobilise? You mentioned USA government, what a shame! I am sure you don't read foreign news 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Aemmyjah: I must give it to you, you are a great writer but you got all the facts wrong. Allow me to take them one by one. 1. The number of wars and the casualties of war have been drastically reduced than any period in history. Please do your research. You could compare our present time with the 1800s or 1900s or just anything in human history. In fact, the current war in Ukraine is the first major war in Europe in 70 years. Did you read the old testament at all? The children of Israel were almost continuously at war with their enemies. 2. Let's talk about inflation, unemployment, and poverty. Ask economics, Inflation is not always a bad thing. Even in the olden day, there was inflation. As for unemployment, it's higher now because in the past almost everyone was a farmer or a slave. But then the key factor is poverty. We have Far less percentage of poverty than at any time in history. Below is an article that could help you. https://ourworldindata.org/history-of-poverty-has-just-begun We have better health care than at any time in history and life expectancy is higher than at any time in recorded history. 3. On racism, you sighted George Floyd. Do you know the policeman that killed George is in jail? There used to be a time when a white man can kill a black man without going to jail. So much has changed over time. There used to be a time when black people had no votes. There was a time when blacks had no opportunities. But on Tuesday, 7 Nigerians won elections in the USA. It would be unfair not to agree that we have really improved. The war in heaven shows that even in heaven there was fighting. There is always a conflict of interest and nations. It's the way the world is. God led the armies of Israel. That is just the way it is. But then again, many wars have brought about a better society. -If not for the allied forces, the world would have become Adolf Hitler's slaves. -Then we have the war against slavery. -Paul Kagame liberated his country through war and ended the greatest genocide in modern times. I can go on and on but I know you already get the point. It's unfair to act as if society is still as bad as in the days of Christ. Do you know that if Jesus Christ came to the world today, he would not have been killed? In Israel today, no one would kill you if you said you were the Christ. Today they believe in human rights. 1 Like |

I'm convince you are in a lockdown and don't even leave the house. You're really funny to say that our society is not that bad only cos they killed Jesus Christ. What do you know about history? Our society, our human society is the worst in all history. Scientists and politicians predict doom on the earth and you say it is not bad, I guess you live in the moon The onky thing I agree with you is on healthcare, is it affordable? How many can afford it? People are even scared of going to clinics cos they have no money but since you live in the moon, you won't know these Jesus Christ, like the prophets who preceded him and his disciples to this day are victims of persecution and sometimes death. It deals with the way people react to TRUTH and not how the society is living life. Even Pilate tried to rescue Jesus Christ, Herod could not find anything against him. It is not about government but how people react to truth. Go to Israel na, even if you are in the most civilised state, you'll face persecution and the threat of death when you preach the truth cos it is not something everyone enjoys listening to Even Apostle Paul uses his rights as Roman citizen and still was jailed and killed Did the ECHR not ask Russia to free us cos we are free? Did they respect that right? What about Eritrea? You better leave the moon and come to earth and are the reality of things Paul Kagame used his power to quell the genocide causes by hatred. Wars will still continue. Hatred cannot be stopped by political power Why not pray that we enter another world war or Nigeria face USA or China or Russia in war so you can live in a better society?

When you were little like say, 10 years old, did you use to hear of terrorism or bokoharam? Did you use to fear herdsmen? We even travel at night those days but no longer. How much was prices of food? I'm just returning from Ibadan and I was shocked to see that they now sell water leaf, scent leaf and bitter leaf in the market.

tctrills: My definition of politics: The act of vouching for an imperfect human to make perfect policies that's fair to one and all. The most powerful spirit being in the universe wanted to secure the land of Canaan in order to establish pure worship. He journeyed to Egypt to free the descendants of a man named Jacob with whom He made a covenant to establish pure worship and singlehandedly freed the people using two feeble octogenarians to lead them. The whole world heard how the Most High Spirit Being did this so the fear of His worshipers is already in the hearts of all the inhabitants of the earth. Any direction they face makes people fear as it's evident that the Most powerful spirit is with them. Definitely if you are living in any part of Canaan with your family back then the first thing that should come to your heart as a sane human is the safety of you and your family {Joshua 2:12-13 compare to Joshua 9:3-27} whatever makes you feel like picking up weapons against the Israelites is not to save your life but to support your preferred ruler in the face of DEATH.
