Riofidelio:Do you believe the Lords work has been done previously without a governing body? Do you believe the great commission is being done without a governing body? Do you believe the great commission can be done without a governing body? Matthew 3:9 comes to mind!!! |
Re: Who Are Jehovah’s Witnesses? by achorladey: 7:42pm On May 22, 2018 |
Riofidelio:The word "efficacy" is what I want you to breakdown. Is there really a standard that measures how the great commission should be done? Did the apostles set efficacy for those they convert on how to preach? Did Jesus set efficacy to those he healed and assign the preaching work? |
Re: Who Are Jehovah’s Witnesses? by Nobody: 7:50pm On May 22, 2018 |
achorladey:There's nothing like "Christian Denomination" it's either you know what Christianity REALLY means or you just practice whatever anyone you see holding Bibles on Sundays does! God has HIS own organisation, you either study the Bible to know the group that fits in to that arrangement or you choose anyone that appeals to you "personally" That's why Jesus said there are two roads as in TWO ROADS one is leading to life and the other to destruction. There are just TWO religions throughout the world, pure worship which belongs to the one and only true God and false worship which belongs to Satan and his demons. The one belonging to God has strict rules that must be adhere to while Satan gives each demon a possession of his own but Satan is the overall ruler of the false religions. "The only sign to know them is that they agrees to do sacred services together even though what their gods(demons) taught them contradicts one another"! It's when they come in contact with pure worship (God's own) that they'll team up as if they're all in agreement, of course they're all one under Satan's manipulations! |

Riofidelio:i do not know the bible u read ooo but Paul does not take permission from any governing body before he established doctrines, go and read his letters to the Corinthian church how he makes statement like dey are his own commandment and not of God. Those 12 weren't commission as apostles to the gentiles. Who are you today? A jew or a gentile?if ur a gentile, den paul is ur apostle and not the 12 at Jerusalem. |

Riofidelio:wow. So you mean the 24 elders are chosen from 144000 so there can be orderliness. Do u mean there could be disorderliness in heaven ![]() |

Riofidelio:do you consider the compilation of the bible in 400AD to av been a miracle? |
Re: Who Are Jehovah’s Witnesses? by Nobody: 8:07pm On May 22, 2018 |
achorladey:The Bible didn't leave US in the dark regarding that Sir! First there must be effectiveness if the Spirit of Christianity (The Messiah's teachings)is working amidst the people, they must form a global family and they must turn weapons into farming tools meaning they'll not learn wars anymore! Isaiah 2:1-4,Micah 4:2-4 Secondly them must be seen preaching and teaching their neighbors how to live peacefully and it will serve as a sign of pure worship during the end time! Malachi 3:16-18 All these are the things Jesus included when commissioning Christianity. So if it's not Christianity it can't be as effective as on those practicing Christianity! Two signs Jesus gave to distinguish between true and false Christians, true Christians will have love amongst themselves. John 13:35 and every other religious groups and peoples will hate them. Matthew 10:22 John 17:14 |

Salvation102:Well i've discovered that you're only trying hard to disapprove pure worship that's what rendered your senses obstinate but please i'm begging you do not render your conscience dead because that's what will make you close your minds to the TRUTH leading to the UNFORGIVABLE sin!

Re: Who Are Jehovah’s Witnesses? by Nobody: 6:45am On May 23, 2018 |
Salvation102:Well MIRACLES do happen for specific reasons (1)To prove that God is backing something (2) To impress in the minds of observers that God's promises are certain (3) To rescue God's servants in times of distress.There is Magic as well and it's purpose is to DISTRACT ONLOOKERS from what they're supposed to do during the time they're watching Magic! Please what is the purpose of your so called miracles today? Is it to prove that God is behind all these contradictions as all of them are performing miracles? What impression are they leaving behind? Regarding the compilation of the Bible you can borrow Jesus' comment when He said "my father has been working till now" (John 5:17)please note that people won't notice those "works" since they're not "spectacular" like miracles which do affect their lives in an instance. So Jehovah is behind the compilation of HIS words because it's in line with HIS will that all people come to an ACCURATE knowledge of HIM and HIS Son and this could only be possible if they have access to HIS words. Where are the magicians practicing their magical acts today? Have they all suddenly repented from dealing with demons? Are they no more going to entertain their audience? Well read the Bible book of 2Corinthians 11:12-15 to answer those questions! God bless you. |
Re: Who Are Jehovah’s Witnesses? by achorladey: 7:46am On May 23, 2018 |
Riofidelio:Explain if you can what Christianity means? Please find another suitable words to replace "Christian denomination". The word "organisation" was it explicitly stated in the Bible. What is the record of what seems to be God's earthly organisation in times past ruled and administered by imperfect men of old(Moses, Elijah David, Solomon e.t.c.)? Is that organisation still in existence? The true religion that I know of do not have strict rules but principles of life as highlighted in loving God with all what you've got and love of neighbour. Those are not strict/rigid rules. What constitute sacred service? Is it restricted to only preaching and teaching about God's kingdom? What is the true religion from letters of James 1:27. Is it attached to being in one "organisation". |
Re: Who Are Jehovah’s Witnesses? by achorladey: 7:57am On May 23, 2018 |
Riofidelio:Who among those you feel call themselves Christian living in your community practice war explicitly? What is the difference between a Christian that kill people with words of mouth and those that kill with a gun? |
Re: Who Are Jehovah’s Witnesses? by Nobody: 8:13am On May 23, 2018 |
Salvation102:NO Ma you got it wrong there again! The 12 Apostles stands for all the Born Agains who are to rule with Jesus in heaven that's why they're the foundation! Revelations 21:14 The Holy Spirit is directing the 12 to give orders(Act 15:28,29) while Paul takes those orders to the gentiles and analyse it because he's well educated both in Jewish customs and those of the gentiles. Romans 11:13,Galatians 1:14 Act 17:22-24 So he's just a "traveling overseer" but every Christian is subjected to the 12 in Jerusalem!(headquarter) We have them today as well, they're called traveling or circuit overseers but for orderliness to be maintained they must teach what's coming from the headquarters so even if they die and another traveling overseer is appointed the organization will remain in order. Thank you! |
Re: Who Are Jehovah’s Witnesses? by Nobody: 8:33am On May 23, 2018 |
Riofidelio:E achorladey:"Denomination" has no place in Christianity,we must all believe and practice the same thing if we're truly worshipping the same Spirit Being! 1Corinthians 1:10 It's Satan that gives demons under him the chance to establish different line of thought yet deceiving those worshipping them that they're worshipping the same God! These demons each has likes and dislikes resulting in the contradicting doctrines and conflicting teachings you're seeing today! They have visible agents who stands as founders or overseers of what you're calling "denominations" today! That's why these different religious groups claiming Christians are divided in teachings and doctrines but still friendly since none is STRICTLY saying "this is how things ought to be" Satan is their God and demons are the ones setting different standards! If you have ears you may choose to listen or ignore! |
Re: Who Are Jehovah’s Witnesses? by Nobody: 8:46am On May 23, 2018 |
achorladey:The question is "Are you permitted by your Faith to carry weapons for any reason whatsoever?" if your answer is "yes" then know today that your religion has nothing to do with the young man from Nazareth! Matthew 26:52 There are many more instructions that Jesus ask US to pass unto you but that's the first that everyone interested in pure worship must first learn to do! Isaiah 2:4 Though it's not easy but with faith in God all things are possible, that's why people from different countries around the world including Nations and Tribes that are well known for developing and using weapons have been able to say "we're no more going to carry weapons again because of our Love for Jesus Christ" You can disapprove what they're doing now but whom God has blessed no man can curse! |

haywizzy007:Agape My brother! I'm not answering them only for their salvation but for the sake of those who might be following this thread so that honesthearted ones can see the foolishness of Satan, his demons and their human agents misrepresenting true Christians! Of course they're not His sheep but for the sake of others seeing them i'm answering for easy identification and to distinguish between Jesus' sheep and Satan's goats trying to mix with the Lord's sheep! |

Riofidelio:The question is "Are you permitted to use your lips as Christians to condemn and kill for any reason whatsoever your fellow Christian?" if your answer is "yes" then know today that your religion has nothing to do with the young man from Nazareth!Matthew 22:37-40 John 14:6,7, John 3:16 and not Matthew 26:52.There are many more instructions that Jesus ask US to pass unto you but that's the first that everyone interested in pure worship must first learn to do. Though it's not easy but with faith in God all things are possible(including not using legalism approach to guide Christians), that's why people from different countries around the world including Nations and Tribes that are well known for developing and using weapons have been able to say "we're no more going to carry weapons again because of our Love for Jesus Christ" You can disapprove what they're doing now but whom God has blessed no man can curse! We never had the right to curse whom God has blessed. |
Re: Who Are Jehovah’s Witnesses? by Nobody: 8:14pm On May 23, 2018 |
achorladey:AGREED! So let's stop dividing the Church of Christ with that evil word "denomination" Since the Christ is ONE.1Corinthians 1:12,13 Which of all these different religions (including JWs) claiming Christians is the ONE and ONLY group for Christ? I'll suggest Jesus' approach "going to meet people at home one on one for presentation and cross examination" Matthew 10:3-26,28:19,20 compared to Malachi 3:16-18 and Isaiah 54:17 But if you know a better way to solve this problem please let's hear it! |

Re: Who Are Jehovah’s Witnesses? by enimooko: 9:07pm On May 23, 2018 |
Salvation102: If u r a TRUE Christian, the world would know and persecute you Christianity and the world have different masters. Remember you and your people are of the world and the world loves you and accept you. Do not be carried away by the honors given to you by the world. True Christians however are Christ followers and that is what no physical man can claim. Calling Christ followers Christians does not confer spirituality on the callers! - Ode Which leads me to the question that you are dodging Why should a physical man be evaluating or examining a spiritual man? |
Re: Who Are Jehovah’s Witnesses? by enimooko: 9:20pm On May 23, 2018 |
Salvation102:How about the worship of Jah with a humility to follow his direction and a determination to follow his own program: compare worship of God changing from Tent to Tabernacle, from Tabernacle to Temple in Jerusalem or mediator from Moses to the prophets and from the prophets to Jesus or salvation from circumcision to non-circumcision or the end-of-the-world from 70CE to much later. Just like Korah what you can only see is worship of man. |
