Maximus69: You see YOURSELF abi? You NEED mirror I guess? Maximus69: It's not about what THEY DO but what they SAY about THEMSELVES! Maximus69: Jehovah's Witnesses Organization CLAIMS to be the One and ONLY group that God is using to teach honest hearted people in this last days, and that has been the way they always portray themselves! The question is do you agree with their assertion? Achorladey: As if I haven't attended to this previously on NAIRALAND. Should we bring the live recording and words of the leaders of the ORGANIZATION says they are NOT the ONLY group GOD is USING today, You will not believe it. Someone asked you, are you a CHARITY ORGANIZATION? You flex your FINGERS typing a NO in uppercase without even seeing the "article of association" of the ORGANIZATION. Do they use BYE-LAWS to control their members? You will say NO. No be today. It will repeat itself again. Na time. |

achorladey: JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES are saying "we are the only group worshiping our own God Jehovah" Do you agree with their claim or not? Simple YES or NO! |

Maximus69: You cannot answer the question I posed earlier you expect me to answer YOURS. I have answered your question long before this time I have repeated it today again. Look at the last post it's there. The leaders of the ORGANIZATION says NO. You want me to say YES on their BEHALF. HAHAHAHAHA Oga Maximus69 alias (I am through with you) |

achorladey: Jehovah's Witnesses don't pray with none Witnesses. Don't marry from outside the group. Don't do any act of worship with others. Don't attend any religious gathering apart from their own. Don't receive tracts or religious publication from any other source. Disagree with all the religious dogmas of Christendom Churches such as immortality of the soul, Trinity, all good people go to heaven and eternal torment of bad souls. So you're saying they agreed that others are co~worshipers of their God? Keep deceiving yourself! |

[quote author=Maximus69 post=89150073] Self defense is something we should look into critically as students of the greatest Counselor who ever lived on this planet. The people who ordered Jesus' arrest are the rulers of the Jewish community back then (authority) so it's wrong from God's standpoint to resist such arrest. The reason why Peter felt like fighting back is because the community police came with thugs holding clubs and machetes to arrest an innocent man at night! Matthew 26:55 Of course a Christian can defend himself but you must take into consideration some important facts. ©Are you doing so just to protect lives? ©Are you doing so to protect properties? ©What is the motive behind your actions, to kill the culprit or disarm him? ©What is your opinion, killing him after he's disarmed or to take him to the authorities? (1)There many ways to protect your life, Jesus taught us not to accumulate material possessions because it will attract both good and evil people to us. So w |

achorladey: Action speaks louder than words my guy! Jehovah's Witnesses are the one and only organization doing God's will on planet earth today! So far you can't quote the Bible but their publication when someone asked a question, you can't say it better. But learn to stop blasphemy, you can't be saying one thing and doing another! |

Maximus69: You see yourself, do you need mirror ? I ASKED REALITY says you afraid of looking at the MIRROR because you afraid of you ARE. Tell me what is contained in Matthew 6:9 about YOUR GOD? You cannot. Do you use it when PREACHING? No response. My first post on this thread was about a SCRIPTURE bring it back let us see. You cannot. Why? It will bring to light who YOU ARE. That's why you hang on this cited below Maximus69: SO FAR YOU CAN'T QUOTE the Bible but their publication when someone asked question, you can't say it better. Achorladey: I just SMH Everytime I respond to your comments here on Nairaland. Prove to me who you are by RESPONDING to the words in capital letters in your post I highlighted. Bring back my first POST on this thread. |

Princewell2012: Romans 12:19 KJV Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 2 Timothy 4:14 KJV Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works: Romans 12:18 KJV If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. May God bless you Sir. Good bye. |

If he cannot pay, he must be sold as a slave to pay for his theft." - Exodus 22:2-3 "“But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into. (i.e. But know this ye, that if the goodman of the house knew at what hour the thief would come, he would certainly watch, and would not suffer his house to be broken open.)" - Matthew 24:43 "You would surely not let a thief break into your home, if you knew when the thief was coming." - Luke 12:39 Revenge, avenge or vengeance is not the same as defence, self-defense and/or genuine self-protection. Self-defense is protecting yourself and others from immediate danger. The goal is to stop the attacker from attacking. If you are attacked and do not defend yourself you can be killed or seriously injured. Arming to defend yourself with, is not assault. Assault is the physical attack the person coming at you is doing. Robbing people, is anti-social, to on top assault them, is not just worse but is equally unlawful, unacceptable and unwelcoming as stealing/robbing. You're justified to defend yourself and your family with reasonable counter force against being robbed and physical attack, but wont be justified to take revenge, because as we all know, vengeance and even recompense, is for the Lord (i.e. Deuteronomy 32:35) Bottom line and show all these to your missus Mrs Princewill2012, lol, the Bible never forbids self-defense, it permits believers to defend themselves. I'll soon send you a write up on how to align and tune in the soul with all the spirit man is getting from the Spirit. I havent forgotten.

I don't know. But you may want to watch the World War II movie - "Hacksaw Ridge," and think of what Desmond Doss said about fighting back. He was a Christian who said his bible never said that. He went to the war without holding a gun and he survived. Rather than fighting, he was saving lives. And when he was hit, his focus was on saving himself and others. He'd eventually live till 2006 - when he died. |

Princewell2012:No no no no no no no. The issue is alittle complicated than it seem actually. If killing someone to protect yourself. It is called man slaughter and depends on the circumstances can be punishable. Punishable in the sense as over reaction or you have the chance to stop them without killing them. On part as a Christian, God judge the heart of men as he has made us understand. He is not a God moved by mere actions and emotions. If your heart and intentions where clear, God in is his mercies understands than any human. But I urge you to do your personal Bible consultation and you will find out that there was no place go prevented Christians from protecting them sef. |
