Lukuluku69: Are you not going too far? Why the insults? Can you not debate without insulting the other person? |

tctrills: Why will they waste their time to start asking the householder about their religion? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() See the below from their publications......... Paul obviously was aware of some Greek teachings, and he used such knowledge to give a most effective witness. (Acts 17:28) Similarly, Jehovah’s Witnesses are not ignorant of others’ beliefs. They have gained considerable basic knowledge of the doctrinal beliefs of religions common in their area. Consideration to such teachings has been given in the book What Has Religion Done for Mankind? as well as numerous articles in The Watchtower and Awake! Such information on various religions is presented in the context of its contrast with accurate Biblical teachings. God’s Word warns Christians that “Satan himself keeps transforming himself into an angel of light. It is therefore nothing great if his ministers also keep transforming themselves into ministers of righteousness. But their end shall be according to their works.” (2 Corinthians 11:14, 15) Satan so successfully appeared as “an angel of light” that he was able to deceive even a perfect human, Eve. (1 Timothy 2:14) So it would be foolhardy, as well as a waste of valuable time, for Jehovah’s Witnesses to accept and expose themselves to false religious literature that is designed to deceive. They have no intention of falling into the sad course of the Jews, whom Paul said “exchanged the truth of God for the lie.”—Romans 1:25, NW; Revised Standard Version. Furthermore, some of the religious literature that people may urge Jehovah’s Witnesses to read is written by, or contains the thoughts of, individuals who have apostatized. True Christians are commanded to shun such apostates. (2 John 9-11; Titus 3:10, 11) With the above you begin to wonder why he keeps asking for the name of the church of those he is conversing with here since..... 1. Witnesses do not go to people’s doors searching for truth or enlightenment. Rather, they already have devoted countless hours learning the truth from God’s Word . . . . 2. Jehovah’s Witnesses are not ignorant of others’ beliefs. They have gained considerable basic knowledge of the doctrinal beliefs of religions common in their area. . . . 3. So it would be foolhardy, as well as a waste of valuable time, for Jehovah’s Witnesses to accept and expose themselves to false religious literature that is designed to deceive . . . . 4. As loyal Christians let us hold to God’s standards, feeding our minds on what is true and righteous, and holding appreciatively and loyally to the channel from which we first learned Bible truth. Please ask am what is the essence of asking for the name of the religious organization others in conversation with him here on nairaland? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 1 Like

MaxInDHouse: To save his head from the blunder he had committed already he will have to keep lying and peddling insanities about himself, his beliefs, his religious organization

tctrills: When you ask a question it's your attitude that will determine how we're to reciprocate. Sincere and honest hearted questions we know not critics who just want to argue! Titus 3:9 ![]() |

achorladey:MaxInDHouse, here are some valid points. As a JW, it should not matter to you what my religion is since according to you, all religions except yours are of the devil. 1 Like |

oteneaaron: Of course I love a debate without the abuse. By God I do! But once the debate is not going according what the brains dictates, then the abuses kick in. They abuse that which you hold sacred. Call you names and all sorts. What do you then do? When they come swinging at you, you hit back since they won't follow the words of whom they hold sacred too. I hate abuses and abusive people, but sometimes you give it back and I am ready to give it back to anyone who abuse my Faith and that which I hold sacred. |

Dtruthspeaker: Literally, no. But symbolically, yes. When I say "144000 evidently refers to all true christians". I mean that 144000 is a symbolic number referring to all christians. |
Re: 144000, Who Are They? by Sand2022: 5:45pm On Feb 02, 2023 |
MaxInDHouse: We're saying the same thing. The number is yet to be filled up. |

Sand2022:I already see from a previous response of yours that, like the JW you pretend to be aganst, you also want here to overlook that stated in s scripture about this all you can claim special knowledge of your own about the 144,000. ![]() |

Sand2022:Our God started selecting from among Jesus' disciples throughout the dark ages until 1914 that Jesus returned to the earth and choose the Watchtower organization. So ever since then it's only within that group God is selecting the rest of the numbers though i'm not one of the chosen. ![]() |
