Emusan:No dull yourself. JWs go to our kingdom Halls several days weekly, not restricted to Sundays. We are not Sunday Sunday churchgoers. The ancient Israelites set the standard of meeting together, copied by Christ followers& Jehovah's people today. We meet regularly for fellowship and interchange of encouragement. It's standard practice among Jehovah's people . Acts 2:1,42,44,46. Deu31:12. Hebrew 10:24,25. |

CAPTIVATOR: So how did you get the book? Smile...everyone knows! Yet you can't provide support for your claim. Will you agree with the author of that article had it been it was against JWs? Don't boycott my question again... Tribe ? Herod origin is from Edom. He didn't practice the Jewish religion either Eh....eh... But why Jesus didn't allude to this to warm His disciples as even a great event that taken the live of the only FORERUNNER of Christ? Can you imagine, isn't the Fact that someone who doesn't have a good standing with God does it yet none of faithful ones does same, should ring a bell . No! it should be the best time for Christ to OPENLY CODEMN IT if the event can even take the live of the ONLY FORERUNNER of Christ. |

CAPTIVATOR: Where exactly did Jesus command you to go to your Hall on Sunday? That's the question, since you're emphasizing on WHAT CHRIST COMMANDED.... But see your life, you have to quote another scripture to support your claim. |
Re: Christmas Vs Easter: Which One Is More Significant? by Emusan(m): 4:29pm On Dec 29, 2019 |
Janosky: If not because your brain is paining you....you wouldn't have vomited this nonsense. Show me where Christ COMMANDED YOU to go to your lying Hall every Sunday or any other day? If the question is bigger than your brain, stop quoting me. okay! |
Re: Christmas Vs Easter: Which One Is More Significant? by CAPTIVATOR: 4:40pm On Dec 29, 2019 |
Emusan: The Facts are there man, don't drag it ... Unless you are able to prove the book never said so . I challenge you to that.
Jesus doesn't have to condemn what his faithful followers already condemn . It's like asking Buhari to condemn something the Constitution already condemn. Isrealites we're told not to imitate the pagan practices of the nation's around them . Let it sink |
Re: Christmas Vs Easter: Which One Is More Significant? by CAPTIVATOR: 4:42pm On Dec 29, 2019 |
Emusan: Unless it is not that same Jesus that inspired PAUL to be his apostle . So am still obeying Jesus . Which one have you quote to support your claim of birthday and Easter celebration command ? None . Just some man made rules . |
Re: Christmas Vs Easter: Which One Is More Significant? by Emusan(m): 5:04pm On Dec 29, 2019 |
CAPTIVATOR: Now it's from Jesus to Paul...but you're bragging quoting what Christ only COMMANDED before....mtcheeeee Also, what Apostle Paul wrote isn't on Sunday but just "....not forsaken assembly together" Well established enough, Sunday was chosen by the early Christians because it was the day Christ resurrected which is known as "The first day of the week" later "The Lord's Day" But you and your demonic organization wants to push Christ resurrection to the bin. Easter cover the period of Christ death to Christ resurrection.....What is your problem with that? Which one have you quote to support your claim of birthday and Easter celebration command ? None . Just some man made rules . I don't need to because scripture silent on it so I don't need to say what scripture didn't say but for you, you turned youraelf to God to declare what God didn't say. |
Re: Christmas Vs Easter: Which One Is More Significant? by Emusan(m): 5:20pm On Dec 29, 2019 |
CAPTIVATOR: Typical JWs.... How did you get the book That's the question.... imagine, telling me to do research on a book that even you yourself didn't know anything about or having it in possession. I'm very sure, you haven't even seen the cover of the book talkless of laying your hands on it but just because your evil organisation made a quote from it, you must agree with it without verification. Jesus doesn't have to condemn what his faithful followers already condemn, I assume Scripture is the Constitution here....so where was it written? Jesus doesn't need to condemn but you and your demonic organization are in the right position to condemn...delusions! It means you know more than Jesus.... |
Re: Christmas Vs Easter: Which One Is More Significant? by CAPTIVATOR: 7:05pm On Dec 29, 2019 |
Emusan: You want to tell me every book you referenced in your Final Project Bibliography , was seen by you ? You are making a silly ASSERTION here man The point here is: Did anyone said the book didn't state so ? Have you verified that the quote isn't true ? Funny enough it's quoted all over internet pages talking about birthdays Facts laid bare . Birthday celebration is pagan religious custom
So you didn't read where God specifically told the Isrealites not to copy the ways of the pagan nation's around them ? .. Birthdays is one of those practices in pagan religion, case study of the Egyptian Pharaoh in Genesis. |
Re: Christmas Vs Easter: Which One Is More Significant? by CAPTIVATOR: 7:22pm On Dec 29, 2019 |
Emusan: Na only Sunday we dey assembly together . U miss road Bro , see Act 2:42 Christians " continued devoting themselves to the TEACHINGS OF THE APOSTLE " So Heb 10:24,25 is one of those teachings Where exactly did they teach Jesus birthday celebration or death day celebration? Why was birthday a pagan custom to this early Christians ?
Are u sure u devote yourself to the teachings of Jesus and his apostles ? |
Re: Christmas Vs Easter: Which One Is More Significant? by Emusan(m): 7:38pm On Dec 29, 2019 |
CAPTIVATOR: The problem you're having is lack of assimilation.... Where did Christ COMMAND you to gather on Sunday....is the question you're still perambulating with since. Where exactly did they teach Jesus birthday celebration or death day celebration? Where exactly did they condemn Jesus birthday celebration? Why was birthday a pagan custom to this early Christians ? I'm still waiting for your support data on this. Till then it's just your delusional idea. Are u sure u devote yourself to the teachings of Jesus and his apostles ? And where from Jesus Himself and the Apostles' teachings birthday celebration was condemned? |
Re: Christmas Vs Easter: Which One Is More Significant? by Emusan(m): 7:57pm On Dec 29, 2019 |
CAPTIVATOR: Just listen to your deluded self...so you don't know anything about the book yet you hold it as truth simply because the internet is full of such quote.... That's why your demonic organization will continue to play fast one you because they know you guys lack the capacity to carry out research on your own. Are you saying internet isn't full of your demonic doctrines? Did you agree with them? Just like I said, provide the link here and let's see if such actually exist or not that your demonic organization cherry-picked the quote as they like just as they usually do to any work. Facts laid bare . Birthday celebration is pagan religious custom Still from your deluded brain... So you didn't read where God specifically told the Isrealites not to copy the ways of the pagan nation's around them ? .. Birthdays is one of those practices in pagan religion, case study of the Egyptian Pharaoh in Genesis. Another baseless claim, adding to the scripture what scripture didn't say. When God told the Israelites not to copy their practice, didn't God list ALL WHAT they need not to do? Why birthday was not mentioned? You know more than God.... |
Re: Christmas Vs Easter: Which One Is More Significant? by CAPTIVATOR: 4:37am On Dec 30, 2019 |
Emusan:Are you saying what Paul teaches is not part of Christ command ? 2Corinthians 6:14-17 . A believer has no business cherishing the religious practices of pagans
The onus is on you to prove the quote isn't real . Until then you are the delusional one |
Re: Christmas Vs Easter: Which One Is More Significant? by CAPTIVATOR: 4:42am On Dec 30, 2019 |
Emusan: I even gave you another Encyclopedia which is available online saying there was Strong opposition to Birthdays celebration in the first two centuries of Christianity due to it's pagan origin. You are still ranting, The burden of proof is on you to prove it that the quote from world book encyclopedia is wrong .
Who told you Birthday wasnt mentioned, You think mentioning two Birthdays celebration strictly from pagans is just a joke ? |
Re: Christmas Vs Easter: Which One Is More Significant? by Emusan(m): 7:17am On Dec 30, 2019 |
CAPTIVATOR: It's so shameful how you people rely on external reference to counter scripture.. This is the same way your demonic organization keep referencing Atheists materials in other to proof a point. And I asked the other time will you have agreed with the author of that encyclopedia if it was against JWs? Now read this article from that same encyclopedia and tell me if you agree.... https://www.britannica.com/topic/Jehovahs-Witnesses Lemme see your hypocrisy level. You are still ranting, The burden of proof is on you to prove it that the quote from world book encyclopedia is wrong . Even for you to agree with a quote from something you haven't verified yourself shows how dishonesty your are. Just give me one evident that the quote exists from WB encyclopedia, all I'm asking is, the link to where you got the quote from.... Or you want to tell us that, at this age of information such quote from them can't be found on their website Who told you Birthday wasnt mentioned, You think mentioning two Birthdays celebration strictly from pagans is just a joke ? Quote the passage from the scripture where God told the Israelites not to copy birthday practice of Egyptians and Canaanites....or God mentioned birthday as what they should do when they enter the land I'm waiting... |
Re: Christmas Vs Easter: Which One Is More Significant? by Emusan(m): 7:35am On Dec 30, 2019 |
CAPTIVATOR: For the last time, where did Christ command you to GATHER ON SUNDAY? I even made this point earlier but you stylishly boycotted it.... "Well established enough, Sunday was chosen by the early Christians because it was the day Christ resurrected which is known as "The first day of the week" later "The Lord's Day" 2Corinthians 6:14-17 . A believer has no business cherishing the religious practices of pagans Delusions..... The onus is on you to prove the quote isn't real . Until then you are the delusional one My point remains, how will you take a quote you yourself haven't verified as truth just because it dances to your tune? Just like I said earlier, your demonic organization knows exactly how to manipulate you people because they know none of you will bother to verify. They did same thing in their publication Titled "Should you believe in Trinity?" and many others. People who refute claim will take pictures, provide link and even original direct writing to support their claims. What if I have done the same thing about JWs will you have swallowed it or asked me to provide the link? |
Re: Christmas Vs Easter: Which One Is More Significant? by CAPTIVATOR: 1:12pm On Dec 31, 2019 |
Emusan: You ain't wise, a wise person should have verified the quote then come back to refute. Till now, YoU can't refute. Shame From a Jewish website, the same book was referenced again. So na watchtower write this screenshot below ? http://www.hope-of-israel.org.nz/paganbirthdays.html

Re: Christmas Vs Easter: Which One Is More Significant? by CAPTIVATOR: 1:22pm On Dec 31, 2019 |
Emusan: Or support scriptures ? Pagans alone was reported by Scriptures to have celebrated birthdays
Tell me your problem with the link, have no issues with it.
Okay, provide their website ? Silly
Emphasis on " practices " . Egyptian celebrate birthday's, But you would never found Jews copy such pagan custom . Check that screenshot I gave you from a Jewish website quoting Josephus. Man just go and found somewhere to sit . U lack substance to discuss this topic |
