The Beroeans later became disciples of Christ and subjected themselves to the teachings of the Apostles and Older men in Jerusalem. So God's organization kept growing in number with one line of thought as a global family of peace loving worshipers! 1Corinthians 1:10 Praise JEHOVAH! |

NairaLTQ: See what they wrote in their religious publications about YAHWEH In their Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures published by the Watchtower Society? On page 23 of the 1969 edition, it says: "While inclining to view the pronunciation 'Yahweh' as the more correct way, we have retained the form 'Jehovah' because of people's familiarity with it since the 14th century." See them say people's familiarity since the 14th century. See their members lying and manipulating the fact by stating... Before the modern day JWs began, people have not heard or read of the name Jehovah? See another.... In view of these opinions, why do the witnesses of Jehovah prefer to use “Jehovah” rather than “Yahweh”? For one thing, no one can be certain just what the original pronunciation was, even as admitted by those who prefer “Yahweh.” And further, the form “Jehovah” has a currency and familiarity that “Yahweh” does not have. “Yahweh” is obviously a transliteration, whereas “Jehovah” is a translation, and Bible names generally have been translated rather than transliterated. A transliteration usually sounds strange to the ears of those speaking the tongue into which the proper name has been transliterated. 1 Like |

God's organization today is filled with sincere and honest hearted people like the Beroeans who carefully examined the Bible along with what is happening around them so they knew that there is no organization meeting up with the standard set by Jesus and his first century disciples like the organization of Jehovah's Witnesses! |

So are you like the Beroeans? All they did is to compare what they read in the scriptures to the activities of those claiming worshipers of God around them! |
Re: The Beroeans: What Can We Learn From Them? by MaxInDHouse(m): 7:54pm On Jun 24 |
Many around us are like the Beroeans as they are willing to ascertain the authenticity of their teachers to be sure they are following the right group! Act 17:11 |

MaxInDHouse: First, throw away all the trash you have learnt from Jehovah Witness. Second, receive the free gift of salvation by believing and confessing that Jesus is Lord and Saviour. Third, receive the infilling of the Holy Spirit with the physical manifestation of Speaking in Tongues. Fourth, study diligently with the aid of reference Bible and concordance. Fifth- Follow the rules of scripture interpretations. 2 Likes |

In the first century Jewish community many heard about Jesus of Nazareth but their religious leaders have poisoned their minds against him and his disciples so instead of diligently studying the scriptures to figure out what this young man and his group stands for in that point in time most Jews dismissed whatever anyone has to say about Jesus and his group but what about Jewish proselytes in Beroea? They went back to all the prophecies having to do with the Christ and his presence this really helped them to find out the deplorable condition of the Jewish community spirituality so the Beroeans accepted Jesus and his disciples because they chose to figure out what the scriptures say about the period they were living. So today we too can be like the Beroeans by studying the scriptures to know what God's word said about our time in order to know the organization God is using to gather faithful and obedient humans in this time of the end: JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES ORGANIZATION! |

MaxInDHouse: Christianity is a personal race. There is no such thing as a practicing group. It's not an entertainment industry. The real Christian life is preaching the gospel with signs following. You lay hands on the sick and see them recover. You cast out devils. Can you do that? 2 Likes |
Re: The Beroeans: What Can We Learn From Them? by MaxInDHouse(m): 9:12am On Jun 25 |
Ken4Christ: If you're not stupid you should know that in a personal race no one tells another how to run its only when it involves grouping that you need to tell others how everyone must do things that's why Paul compared what the Beroeans (a group) did to what Thessalonians (another group) did otherwise each person could have done things on their own without comparing and Paul or you wouldn't have to make comparisons. So the OP is about a GROUP of people that's why the Bible mentioned a GROUP called "Beroeans" and compare them to another GROUP called "Thessalonians" so it's not about an individual like a Beroean or a Thessalonian. Please present one GROUP that's practicing what you typed here. Thanks in advance! 1 Like 3 Shares |

Aemmyjah: If you tell them that they are idol worshipers they will start abusing you, is it not in idolatry that each person practice his devotion without having to compel others? So why stating how your neighbour must do something if it is personal? Ọmọ these people often amaze me with their confusion! |
Re: The Beroeans: What Can We Learn From Them? by MaxInDHouse(m): 7:54pm On Jun 25 |
Apostle Paul was displeased when Christians he preached to started making choices among the Apostles each saying i belong to Apollos, i belong to Paul and another saying i belong to Christ. 1Corinthians 11-12 According to Paul they must all have the same line of thought regarding sacred service which means Christ is the one everyone must imitate so why are there thousands of religious sects claiming they belong to Christ with contradicting teachings and conflicting doctrines and no one is asking: which group is practicing what Jesus taught? What baffles me most is how some will come out saying it's a personal journey yet they're ready to argue about how Christianity should be! It's important to know there is a group that's practicing Christianity in the right sense otherwise there's no sense in complaining on how someone is practicing his own! |

MaxInDHouse: Mark 16:17-18 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. If you can't do any of the above, you are not a believer period. You just practicing religion without power. Empty vessel. I have laid hands on the sick and they recover. One happened just today. The said lady has been sick for over a week. She has taken drugs and injection but she wasn't any better. I laid hands on her and in just a few hours, she has recovered. |

Ken4Christ: Many will say to me in that day: ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name?’ And then I will declare to them: ‘I never knew you! Get away from me, you workers of LAWLESSNESS!’ Matthew 7:22-23 The word "LAWLESSNESS" connotes inability to relate with any known GROUP on rules binding on fellow religionists so your magical acts is useless in this case! 1 Like |

Many just swallow hook line and sinker whatever they heard from parents and families but real people questions what our families believe not just for criticism sake but to figure out a better way of handling matters, that is exactly what the inhabitants of Beroea did after meeting the apostles of Jesus, they welcomed them with their messages with all eagerness of mind but went back to make a diligent study of the scriptures to see if these things were so. 1 Like 1 Share |
