For the Jehovah witnesses, I have a question: 1. Was Jesus resurrected as a spirit or as a human with a body? |

naughtynaughty: In all modesty,I'm taken aback with how you approach this issue,I bet to say that you can't and have never done evangelism the way this people does..one mustn't be a member of CAN or PFN to preach the gospel,this people are so passionate and articulate with their mode of evangelism but our so called CAN/PFN don't approach it that way..Have you gone out to preach about this so called hell that we believed in to a brother ? Do you do it regularly like the witness? I guess what your answer would be... 1 Like |

bettermike: What is a Secret cult? Can u pls tell us all in Naira land what a secret cult is? Jehovah's witnesses are not a secret cult because all our beliefs based in the Bible are clearly exposed and can be found at our Unique and official Website(JW.ORG). We don't do things secretly Our meetings being held at our Kingdom halls are always open to millions of people to attend free of charge without any collections. Our larger gatherings such as our Conventions and assemblies are always open to all and sundry including press to enjoy with us with spiritual program and wholesome associations. So think Bro before u lay misqguided accusations on us. 2 Likes |

ItsTime4me: bros abeg jst try tell us whch part of the national anthem or the pledge utters the WORD to 'whorship'? This are where i get concern abt this whole 'its our doctrine' thing. Imagine somebody thought it wise in himself that living only by his own way of understands things is the only way he and his people should relate with others. Is that not an error? I think every 'school of thought' that do things this way should also check the meaning of hypocracy. |

arcnomec: Dude. They only go out to recruit members. Do you know how many missionaries we have? Every Christian should preach Jesus to the unsaved but not recruit members. As a christian I can preach to a muslim and tell him to join the CAC or wherever the undiluted word of God is preached but the JW will tell non-believer to come to JW or go and sleep in hell. How is that preaching Jesus? They see that Jesus as important as an ordinary Angel so they Go around preaching Jehova when Jesus clearly commanded to preach him. The bible said even the devil is transformed into an angel of light. Don't be carried away by the facade that covers the evil Charles Russel invented. 2 Likes |

arcnomec: 3point for u bro. U make sense. We are different because we hold to our bible based beliefs. We are not and can't be malleable to accept whatever teaching that is not from the Bible, Infact that is one of the features to know the true worshippers of Jehovah, they hold the Bible sacred and as an authority not the traditions of men as it was in the case of the Pharisees of old who teach the traditions of men and Jesus said "woe" to them.

I can't remember the last time I interact with them cos my Bible and theirs don't have the same content. People are fast to believe them cos of the comfort zone to provide to sinners by lying to them about the existence of hell fire. Allowing them to interact with you not preaching to me anyway is the same thing as giving ur car to a panel beater cos they can panel beat ur sense of understanding of the Bible to another form without you not knowing. Abstain from them for your own good 1 Like 1 Share |

[quote author=Mpanyi post=39816651][/quote] Sometimes it is best not to give a response when its obvious some persons are not asking because they want to know, but because they mischievously want to strike up an argument. It's called wisdom. So just ignore where necessary and rather direct them to our website www.jw.org for more information. They can even read the answers in pidgin if they wish 1 Like |

Anamachi3: You don't know anything. Guy, start by proving all my points wrong first. Better still, let me advice you, leave that devilish church before it is too late. Am begging you o. Many a times, you can be in that God forsaken church for years without having access to the information I just let out. Freshers are fooled into believing that all is well until they are in too deep. Leaving would now become hard. I used to go there and sing their hymns for years but knew nothing. In fact, I used to recommend the devil's gathering to people until I was lucky to find out the reality. Please Nigerians, flee from jehova witnesses. You have been warned. 2 Likes |

alexis: There are a lot of translations and scholars that have a contrary view, they view and translated part of that verse to "the word was a god". These translations goes along with the fact that jesus is not the father and the father is God Almighty. Which manuscript is it in and which is it not in? Or which manuscripts is it not in and which is it in?There are many manuscripts , listing them here will derail the thread. Pls( and I believe you are sincere in ur questions) put 1 john 5:7 on a search engine and see the various commentary, translations and views on that verse. Once you have done that, pls quote me and let's discuss. Hebrews 1:8-9: Is lifted from Psalm 45:6-7: It's a reference to the deity of Jesus Christ as God and His superiority over other beings. I am not claiming Jesus is Almighty God as I would claim that I and my father are the same. I am claiming He is God in that He commands worship and He can forgive sins. Only God holds that position and no one else Good Bro, the only God that holds that position is not jesus. Even the "worship" that you say jesus commands was given to him by God. Even the authority given to jesus to judge and forgives sin was given to him by God. God, his father is superior to him! To my point - Thomas after seeing the resurrected Jesus said - My Lord and my God. Thomas was a jew and knew that there was only one true God yet He called Jesus God.Thomas, realising that it was really jesus made that exclamation.(that exclamation has been explained on these thread) But jesus had ealier told mary to tell them that he has not ascended to his God, which is also thomas' God. So, I think people get it twisted when we say Jesus is God. God exists in more than one form at the same time.And he is always talking to himself abi, taking things from himself to do things right? 1 Like |
