@ Esdb3: For you to make this statement shows how small-minded you are. Jesus came to the earth in the form of a what? A man. God is in the form of a what? Spirit.Are you saying that if almighty God changes form man can see him and live? Let me use the scriptures to explain to you what I said . Ex 33:20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live. (this is the almighty God talking here o ) 1 John 4:12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. (note again, this is john, a disciple of jesus, who has seen jesus on countless occasion saying: no one has seen God at any time.) John 1:18 No man has seen God at any time; the only-begotten god(differenciating the almighty God from a created God) who is at the Father’s(almighty God, true God) side is the one who has explained Him. The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and he said: “See, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! ( the almighty God is not the lamb, and the scriptures has shown that the true God/ almighty God/ father is a different person from jesus/the lamb/ mighty God/ only beggotten God) so John 14 5-11 was Jesus lying? I didn't write that verse afterall. Yep, you did not write that verse and jesus was not lying, he told us his relationship with the father, his God. Everything he does , he learnt from the father and and does not do a single thing by himself. "Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?” Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.” Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves. So you know more than john in 1john 1:18 or more than Jesus in john 14 5-11?Bro, ill appreciate if you do not use Derogatory word(s) The book of john 14 :5-11 was talking about jesus and the father. Now using ur explanation, is the father God and jesus the voice of the father? Who is the man and who is the voice of the man. Now the big question: is jesus the father? The answer to this question will help u a lot in understand the scriptures you mentioned. Nobody is saying God is not at the top of the hierarchy, what we are saying is that Jesus is God and God is Jesus yet God is greater than Jesus. When you get to heaven you can ask God or Jesus what the statement means. Oh! Sorry my bad you won't be going to heaven afterall. Don't worry those of us that go there will send you people the explanation.I dnt need to ask jesus , cus he never made such statement. He has already clarified his position in relation to the father, his God. John 20:17 Jesus said, "Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'" 1 cor 11:3 But I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. This God that is the head of Christ is definitely not jesus, so back to you, who is that God.? Bro I have not said anything apart from what the scripture taught me. |

Enough of this argument My question is how could you be jehover witness when you don't believe in jehover body? Who are you to differentiate jehover with jehover body Who are you to phantom the mistory of God with this our mortal body or empty brain because the way of God far higher than our way How could you call the body of God's god You can not claim to love God and hate his body Who is the body of God? When God the Father reproduces Himself, and makes more members of the divine God Family, they all enter into HIS ONENESS. They become PART OF HIM -- PERFECTLY ONE WITH HIM AND CHRIST, even as they are ONE! AS Jesus prayed, "That they al may be ONE; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they ALSO may be ONE IN US" (John 17:21), "that they may be one, EVEN AS WE ARE ONE" (verse 22), "I in them, and thou in me, that they may be MADE PERFECT IN ONE" (John 17:23). Notice! He said -- "PERFECT IN ONE"! Therefore, when this happens, we become literally PART OF GOD! Therefore, we become part of the One, the Supreme Essence and Personality, who says, of Himself, and INCLUDES us as His CHILDREN, as part of Himself, when He says it: "I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, and the LORD . . ." (Isa.43:10-11). When God and Christ say, "I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God" (Isaiah 44:6; compare Rev.1:8, 11, 18; 3:14; 21:6; 22:13), the reference is to BOTH of them as a UNITY, as ONE. But in Isaiah 41:4, God says, "I the LORD, the first, and WITH the last; I am he"! Notice! He said He is here "WITH the last"! Does this not indicate that in process of time, He will EXPAND His own family, and the Godhead? In this way, CREATION WILL CONTINUE FOR EVER! Do you comprehend? There is NO LIMIT to God! And as He reproduces and develops His ONENESS throughout His Divine FAMILY, the whole CREATION will grow, and surge, and expand, and increase, in glory, and majesty, and beauty, and height, and depth, and breadth, and length, and IN ALL DIMENSIONS known and unknown! There is NO LIMIT to God. He can, as He chooses, go on MULTPLYING and EXPANDING and increasing His Kingdom, FOREVER, adding to CREATION! Beside Him, and His progeny, His offspring, apart from His ONENESS -- there is no other God, none at all! He says, "Is there a God beside me? [and by extension, "beside my family"? "Beside those whom I make a part of ME"?] yea, there is no God [beside me, and my Oneness]; I know not any" (Isaiah 44: ![]() |

God is NOT and never was a "Trinity" -- nor does He ever intend on limiting Himself to a "Trinity"! Rather, He is the SUPREME BEING who is building a Creation, and part of that Creation is the reproduction and multiplication of Beings like Himself, with the very same character, humility, love, and UNITY of mind and purpose, who will rule with Him over an ever-expanding and growing UNIVERSE -- THE KINGDOM OF GOD! The Incredible Adventure Isaiah wrote of the Plan of God: "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the govern- ment shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. OF THE INCREASE OF HIS GOVERNMENT AND PEACE THERE SHALL BE NO END . . . " (Isaiah 9:6-7). |
Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: 17 Facts People Should Know About Them by fabulous18(m): 11:10pm On Nov 09, 2015 |
Did you get that? "NO END" to the INCREASE of His authority, His Kingdom, His Peace and Prosperity -- NO END TO THE GROWTH, EXPANSION, AND MULTIPLICATION! The Hebrew word for "increase" here is marbiyth and literally means "a multitude, offspring, interest on capital, greatness, increase, multitude" (Strong's, #4768). Gesenius Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon defines it as "multitude, magnitude, very great part, progeny, interest, usury," and is related to the root of the Greek/Latin/English word for "fetus," "fecund," "fecundity," "fertility." In other words, the FAMILY OF GOD WILL CONTINUE EXPANDING, GROWING, REPRODUCING, MULTIPLYING AS THE KINGDOM OF GOD EXPANDS AND GROWS! The Hebrew word for "end" in this verse is kates and means "extremity, border, end, finite" (Strongs, #7093). Coupled with the word "no," the expression means there will be NO BORDER, NO END OR TERMINATION, NO LIMIT OR FINITE ENDING to the Family of God -- it will be INFINITE, and will grow throughout INFINITE ETERNITY!! Can your feeble brain and mine comprehend such an awesome, incredible, marvelous thing? And just think of it! We are called and chosen of God to be a wonderful, integral part of it! |

Alani86: Scholars and theologians the world over agree that hell is a resting place for the dead. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. (Revelation 20:13-15, KJV) Death is a state of non-existence, lack of consciousness. |

bettermike:. Quite laughable. JWs low lifers? No wahala. As for your propaganda about JWs, you can be rest assured that it pales into insignificance when compared what we've been experiencing. It may interest you to know that we have been objects of attack, both verbally and physically. Top ranking governmental officials and influential religous leaders in different lands have fought vehemently to put a stop to our work. But all their efforts have ended in utter fiasco. Instead our work keeps increasing and we have brought the goodnews to hundreds of lands and islands. So nothing (I repeat nothing), not even the devil can stop our God-given work. But I hope that someday you are going to be my christian brother because I've seen people who were even worse haters of JWs than you are who accepted the truth and are now JWs.

ItsTime4me:Bible Verses About Hell There are many verses that discuss the subject of hell, for it is not a place where anyone wants to spend eternity, so it is important for Christians to know the Scriptures describing this horrible place. 8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars--their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death." 43 If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out.

A lot of You talk about JWs like you know them so much. My only problem with them is that i'm mostly indisposed whenever they encounter me. Yet they would still wanna share their word with me. In the end i just get their magazines and make any contribution that i can. So long as Naija is concerned, christianity is.................... for the haplessly hopeless and the highly gullible. For the people who believe GOD is a MAGICIAN who uses psycho-kinetic machinations to perform healings in his SYNAGOGUE For the lost souls who believe in a G.O whose vision of REDEMPTION is to build an Auditorium that would accommodate 2million heads at a sitting through a SLEAZY PDP leadership. for the spiritually indolent who worship divorced, sex appealing men-of-gods who fry their heads like eels, and have fanatical followership like fans of popular rockstar Elvis Presley For the crazies who are so effing poor yet make contributions to a PAPA who pauperizes his followership but lives in opulence, having the luxury of 5 private JETs and two schools that his average followership cannot afford. For the people CHOSEN to be irrational and erratic in basic thinking and behaviour For the Zombies who canonized the "godmother" and worship earth-made effigies of Her being whilst being compelled to make weekly confessions. For the JAH-loonies who believe in the CELESTIAL-MYSTICAL powers of the almighty COCONUT FRUIT, but whose saintly appearance is in sharp contrast to the kinda evil they perpetrate So many people claiming christians here are the ones Tapping NEPA light thru BACK-FEEDING and still owing NEPA BILLS, Importing CONTRABAND, POISONOUS TURKEY and CHICKENS, Selling FAKE DRUGS, Importing CARS thru FAYAWO, BRIBING POLICE TO SET_UP THEIR NEIGHBOURS, ARMED-ROBBERS who give tithes on SUNDAYS, GOVT OFFICIALZ who embezzle funds and contribute billions as offering to achieve a G.Os 2million sitter fantasy, Who impregnate their friends wives when he's abroad, Who are DRUG-PEDDLERS donating tithes to acquire JETS. Leave the JWs alone. Your denomination is most abominable. All the scandals filtering the airwaves are rife with your churches so who are y'all to judge ![]() My two Cents!!! 2 Likes |

Social media is full of trolls and Nairaland isn't an exception. Let's apply wisdom brothers and sisters and know when to stop responding. If Jehovah wills it, everything we've been saying here will touch their heart someday. Remember the world is watching this thread. They wouldn't say anything when people insult us rudely, but they will pick on how we respond to them. This thread will go on and on, which is feeding the ego of the false accusers.
