What Does God Truly Expects From Us? by IniAkpanMorgan(m): 3:31pm On Feb 27, 2021 |
We know that all things came by the breath of God, by his word, so, God' s word is upon all creation. God' s word made the tree of life, which fruit elongates life (Genesis 3: 22) and Jesus revealed that this tree is the knowledge of God and his Christ (John 17: 3); we also understand that the food tree is the word of God. God told Adam that he will die in the day that he ate of the forbidden tree (Genesis 2: 17), and the only antidote to death is life– a renewal, a resurrection, and Jesus is the Resurrection and the life (John 11: 25). The tree of life stood before Adam as the word of restoration, and he needed to anchor his faith on the tree and await he who has the mandate over it. Faith involves waiting (watching and praying). Although they felt the impact of their disobedience, Adam did not look forward to the Lord' s appearing (II Timothy 4: ![]() Adam was discovered among the trees of the garden, hiding himself, finding leaves to sew as covering: a self- help initiative. Faith does not pretend, or assume to know; faith itself is based on knowledge. The trees of the garden were for Adam' s food, his pleasure and refreshment, but he found a hiding place in them, to shelter him from been accountable for his disobedience, and this happened when the word of God came seeking him (Luke 10: 40- 42; Acts 6: 1- 2). Many people today are hidden in their various comfort zones, some in their occupation; and the service of God, the paramount vocation, is neglected. This is the gospel message of Genesis 3: 8- 10. Not minding the slimy responses Adam and Eve gave, Christ left them a hope by eternally consigning all the powers of the devil to the feet of the man (Genesis 3: 15) because from the beginning, the lord set the man to superintend over the works of his hands; and it was Christ who began to work out the realization of this hope (John 9: 3- 5). We all ought to brighten our little corners to see what rays of glory will shine over the earth. Jesus himself declared it well ahead of time in John 3: 14- 15, " As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the son of man be lifted up: that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life" and when it was accomplished, scripture declares in Luke 23: 44- 46 " And it was about the sixth hour (12. 00hrs) and there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. And the sun was darkened, and the curtain of the temple was torn in the middle" Darkness over the earth was not a new phenomenon, neither was it surprising that the sun was darkened, after all Prophet Joel prophesied it (Joel 2: 31). But the significant thing for consideration under this study is the tearing of the temple curtain into two halves in the middle: from up to bottom, not bottom to up as it should be naturally. We shall consider this subsequently in this book, but let us understand the mystery of the body of Jesus. Read more>>>>>>>>> https://m.scoopernews.com/detail?newsId=13820106

That we should truly escape His Fury and Anger and rather Enter into His Pleasures Forever! |

We should leave in peace and harmony...That can only be achieved by carefully following his laws and statues... |
Re: What Does God Truly Expects From Us? by MaxInDHouse(m): 7:51pm On Feb 27, 2021 |
Excellent! But when misinformation or inaccurate knowledge set in then the goal can never be achieved! Do you know any GROUP of persons living in PEACE and HARMONY as they're following this so called "laws and statues"? ![]() sonmvayina: |

Re: What Does God Truly Expects From Us? by MaxInDHouse(m): 9:34pm On Feb 27, 2021 |
So you are saying there is PEACE and HARMONY among the Jews or among Igbos as they're following this your so called laws and statues shey? ![]() sonmvayina: |

Jews were never at peace that's why there were several rival groups like Pharisees, Sadducees Scribes and other Rabbis in the first century which led to the destruction of Jerusalem as they will not allow PEACE reign in Judae back then! Please can you prove that there is PEACE among the Igbos? Imo, Ebonyi, Anambra, Enugu, Abia. Please when are these people PEACEFUL among themselves in the history of Nigeria? Come on stop deceiving yourself! The one and only people having PEACE among themselves are true Christians (Jehovah's Witnesses) everything Isaiah said in chapter 2:2-4 has been fulfilled in the midst of this people globally as they're worshiping God in SPIRIT and TRUTH! John 4:24 Isaiah never said a tribe or nation like Igbo/Jews but people from all over the earth will come under one umbrella and become a global family of peace loving worshipers, that's exactly what is happening among JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES today! ![]() sonmvayina: |

MISHIGAS! I DESPISE VAIN OYINBO THEOLOGY CLAIMING TO BE CHRISTIANITY- WHOSE AUTHORS HIDE WHICH HERETICAL PERSUASION THEY REPRESENT! God has only ever wanted ONE THING: . DEUTERONOMY 30:19-20. 19. I call Heaven and Earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you Life and Death, Blessing and Cursing: therefore CHOOSE LIFE, That both thou and thy seed may live: 20. That thou mayest love The LORD thy God, And that thou mayest obey His Voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto Him: for He is thy Life, and the Length of thy days: That thou mayest dwell in the land which The LORD Sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them. . 2nd CHRONICLES 16:9. 9. "For The Eyes of The LORD run to and fro throughout the whole Earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is perfect toward Him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.” . AMOS 3:3. 3. "Can two walk together, except they be agreed?" THE ONLY THING GOD HAS EVER WANTED FROM ALL OF HIS CREATION IS AGREEMENT. Is that too much to ask? IniAkpanMorgan: LIE ONE: THE BREATH OF GOD IS NOT THE WORD OF GOD. . GENESIS 1:1-3. IN The Beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth. 2. And the Earth was without form, and void; and Darkness was upon the Face of the Deep. And The Spirit of God moved upon the Face of the Waters. 3. And God Said, "LET THERE BE LIGHT:" and there was light. . JOHN 15:26-27. 26. "But when The Comforter is come, Whom I will send unto you from The Father, (even) The Spirit of Truth, which proceedeth from The Father, He shall testify of me: 27. "And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me From The Beginning." THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS THE BREATH OF GOD. IniAkpanMorgan: . JOHN 17:3. 3. "And this is Life Eternal, that they might know Thee The only True God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent." LIE TWO: LORD YESHUA NEVER REVEALED THAT THE TREE OF LIFE WAS THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD AND HIS CHRIST IN JOHN 17:3, NOR IN ANY OTHER SCRIPTURE. When preachers refer to Scriptures, without quoting them directly, IT IS OFTEN BECAUSE THEY ARE LYING. . PROVERBS 3:28. 28. Say not unto thy Neighbour, "GO, AND COME AGAIN, AND TO MORROW I WILL GIVE;" when thou hast it by thee. WE ARE COMMANDED TO LOVE GOD "WITH ALL OUR MIGHT:" when you send people to look up The Word of God in The Bible, instead of SHOWING THEM YOURSELF, how are you LOVING GOD WITH ALL THY MIGHT? . DEUTERONOMY 6:1-9. NOW these are The Commandments, The Statutes, and The Judgments, Which The LORD your God Commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess It: 2. That thou mightest fear The LORD thy God, to keep all His Statutes and His Commandments, Which I Command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged. 3. Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do (It); that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey. 4. Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: 5. And thou shalt love The LORD thy God with all thine Heart, and with all thy Soul, and with all thy might. 6. And these Words, which I Command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: 7. And thou shalt teach Them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of Them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 8. And thou shalt bind Them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. 9. And thou shalt write Them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates. WAS YOUR "MIGHT" DEPLETED, AFTER MERELY CITING THE REFERENCES? WHAT ABOUT THOSE WHO DON'T, CAN'T, AND WON'T HAVE BIBLES? How are you helping them? If you were in their position, is that how you would want to be treated, then? . LEVITICUS 19:13.[/u][/b] 13. "Thou shalt not defraud thy Neighbour, neither rob him: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning." . PROVERBS 24:8-12. 8. He that deviseth to do Evil shall be called "a mischievous person." 9. The thought of foolishness is Sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men. 10. If thou faint in the Day of Adversity, thy strength is small. 11. If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto Death, and those that are ready to be slain; 12. If thou sayest, "BEHOLD, WE KNEW IT NOT;" doth not He That pondereth the heart consider it? And He That keepeth thy Soul, doth not He know it? And shall not He render to every man according to his works? IniAkpanMorgan: . GENESIS 2:16-17. 16. And The LORD God Commanded the Man, Saying, “Of every Tree of The Garden thou mayest freely eat: 17. "But of The Tree of The Knowledge of Good and Evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the Day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." oaroloye: ETERNAL LIFE IS ATTAINED BY KNOWING LORD YESHUA: LORD YESHUA IS KNOWN BY KEEPING HIS COMMANDMENTS. MaxInDHouse: .. 1st JOHN 2:3-6. 3. And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his Commandments. 4. He that saith, "I KNOW HIM," and keepeth not his Commandments, is a liar, and The Truth is not in him. 5. But whoso keepeth his Word, in him verily is The Love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. 6. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. ALL OF THE ORGANIZED CHRISTIANITY CHURCHES, INCLUDING THE JEHOVAH'S WITLESSES® EXIST FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF PREVENTING CHRISTIANS FROM KNOWING THAT! LIE THREE: THE CLAIM TO COLLECTIVE UNDERSTANDING. Who are this "we" you talk about? This is an Oyinbo Deceptive Rhetorical Mind-Control Device, which plays upon the psychological desire to belong to peers who all agree on the same things, being all equally intelligent. Nobody wants to be thought to be of inferior intelligence by their peers. www.nairaland.com/attachments/13126493_bertrandrussellsnowjob_gif0b1617f9fdbb699f380b9264fa76adb2 People who use such tactics are invariably accursed. . EXODUS 23:1-3. "THOU shalt not raise a False Report: put not thine hand with The Wicked to be an Unrighteous Witness. 2. "Thou shalt not follow a Multitude to do Evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to Decline after Many to Wrest (Judgment): 3. "Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause." AS SOON AS YOU AGREE WITH A SINFUL MAJORITY AGAINST THE GOSPEL, YOU ENTER INTO SATAN'S POWER. . DEUTERONOMY 27:24. 24. "Cursed be he that smiteth his Neighbour secretly." And all the people shall say, "AMEN." LIE FOUR: WHAT TREE WAS NOT THE WORD OF GOD? ALL THINGS WERE CREATED FROM THE WORD OF GOD, WITHOUT EXCEPTION! . JOHN 1:1-4. IN The Beginning was The Word, and The Word was with God, and The Word was God. 2. The same was in The Beginning with God. 3. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made. 4. In Him was Life; and The Life was The Light of Men. THE FORBIDDEN TREE WAS THE WORD OF GOD, TOO- THE WORD OF GOD CAN KILL WHEN IT IS NOT RECEIVED GOD'S WAY! Contrary to Agreement with Him. . MATTHEW 9:16-17. 16. "No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse. 17. "Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved." ALL OF THE FALSE CHRISTIAN CHURCHES MAKE USE OF THE FACT THAT THE TRUTH CAN BE USED TO KILL. Since the so-called "APOSTLES," till this day. IniAkpanMorgan: LIE FIVE: FAITH IS TO BE IN GOD THROUGH HIS WORD: NOT IN HIS CREATIONS. This lie plants the Evil Seed that one can achieve Life by Faith in A CREATED ORGANIZATION OF MEN ALLEGEDLY BY GOD. IniAkpanMorgan: LIE SIX: FAITH DOES NOT INVOLVE WATCHING AND PRAYING: FAITH INVOLVES BELIEVING THE WORD OF GOD IN ONE'S HEART WITHOUT DOUBTING. oaroloye: LIE EIGHT: CHRIST WAS NOT HIDDEN TO MEN- ALL OF THE PROPHETS WROTE ABOUT HIM. . LUKE 24:25-27. 25. Then he Said unto them, "O Fools, and slow of heart to believe all that The Prophets have spoken: 26. "Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his Glory?" 27. And beginning at Moses and all The Prophets, he expounded unto them in all The Scriptures the Things concerning himself. LIE NINE: ANYONE TELLING MEN THAT YESHUA IS THE CHRIST IS ALWAYS A DECEIVER! . MATTHEW 16:20. 20. Then charged he his Disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus The Christ. . MATTHEW 24:3-5. 3. And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the Disciples came unto him privately, saying, "Tell us, when shall these things be? And what shall be The Sign of thy Coming, and of The End of the World?" 4. And Jesus Answered and Said unto them, "Take heed that no man deceive you. 5. "For many shall come in my Name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many." IniAkpanMorgan: LIE TEN: FAITH IS THE CORRECT ASSUMPTION, WITHOUT MATERIAL EVIDENCE, THAT THE WORD OF GOD IS TRUE AND THAT GOD IS RELIABLE. . ROMANS 10:17. 17. So then Faith (cometh) by hearing, and hearing by The Word of God. PAUL LIED ABOUT FAITH COMING FROM THE SPOKEN WORD OF GOD (RHEMA): LORD YESHUA TAUGHT THAT SPIRITUAL FRUIT COMES FROM THE RECORDED WORD OF GOD (LOGOS), WHICH IS ONLY PERCEIVED IN THE HEART. . 2nd CORINTHIANS 5:7. 7. [For we walk by Faith, not by sight:] PAUL RESTRICTED HIS FOLLOWERS TO HIS FALSE FAITH IN ORDER TO BLIND THEM. PAUL could not have written THE EPISTLE TO THE HEBREWS. TIMOTHY wrote It. . HEBREWS 11:1. NOW Faith is the substance of Things Hoped For, The Evidence of Things Not Seen. PAUL OBFUSCATED THE FACT THAT THERE ARE SEVEN POWERS HIGHER THAN FAITH. |

MaxInDHouse: JEHOVAH'S WITLESSES® DO NOT LIVE IN PEACE AND HARMONY FOLLOWING THE LAWS AND STATUTES OF GOD BY MOSES. It is a GANG OF BRUTAL MURDERERS. DELIBERATE SINS ARE NOT COVERED BY ATONEMENTS. . NUMBERS 15:27-31. 27. "And if any man Sin through Ignorance, then he shall bring a She Goat of the first year for a Sin Offering. 28. "And the Priest shall make an Atonement for the Soul that Sinneth Ignorantly, when he Sinneth by Ignorance before The LORD, to make an Atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him. 29. " Ye shall have one Law for him that Sinneth Ignorantly (both for) him that is born among the Children of Israel, and for the Stranger that sojourneth among them. 30. "But the Soul that doeth (ought) presumptuously, (whether he be) born in the land, or a Stranger, the same reproacheth The LORD; and that Soul shall be cut off from among his people. 31. "Because he hath despised The Word of The LORD, and hath broken His Commandment, that Soul shall utterly be cut off; his Iniquity (shall be) upon him." THERE IS NO ATONEMENT FOR PEOPLE WHO COMMIT SIN DELIBERATELY. . NUMBERS 35:31-34. 31. "Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of Death: but he shall be surely put to Death. 32. "And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that is fled to the City of his Refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the Death of the Priest. 33. "So ye shall not pollute the Land wherein ye are: for Blood it defileth the Land: and the Land cannot be cleansed of the Blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it. 34. "Defile not therefore the Land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I The LORD dwell among the Children of Israel." THE WATCHTOWER BIBLE & TRACT SOCIETY IS GUILTY OF MURDER OF IT'S OWN MEMBERS. . EXODUS 21:28-29. 28. "If an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die: then the ox shall be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be quit. 29. "But if the ox were wont to push with his horn in time past, and it hath been testified to his owner, and he hath not kept him in, but that he hath killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also shall be put to death." FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT KNOW: THE JEHOVAH'S WITLESSES® HAVE A CUSTOM OF FORBIDDING BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS TO MEMBERS WHO NEED THEM IN ORDER TO LIVE. . LEVITICUS 7:22-25. 22. And The LORD Spake unto Moses, Saying, 23. "Speak unto the Children of Israel, saying, 'YE SHALL EAT NO MANNER OF FAT, OF OX, OR OF SHEEP, OR OF GOAT.' 24. 'And the fat of the beast that dieth of itself, and the fat of that which is torn with beasts, may be used in any other use: but ye shall in no wise eat of it. 25. "For whosoever eateth the fat of the beast, of which men offer an Offering made by Fire unto The LORD, even the soul that eateth it shall be cut off from his people." . LEVITICUS 17:10-16. 10. “And whatsoever man there be of the House of Israel, or of the Strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set My Face against that Soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people. 11. "For the Life of the Flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the Altar to make an Atonement for your Souls: for it is the blood that maketh an Atonement for the Soul. 12. "Therefore I Said unto the Children of Israel, 'NO SOUL OF YOU SHALL EAT BLOOD, NEITHER SHALL ANY STRANGER THAT SOJOURNETH AMONG YOU EAT BLOOD.' 13. "And whatsoever man there be of the Children of Israel, or of the Strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust. 14. "For it is the Life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the Life thereof: therefore I Said unto the Children of Israel, 'YE SHALL EAT THE BLOOD OF NO MANNER OF FLESH:' for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off. 15. "And every soul that eateth that which died of itself, or that which was torn with beasts, whether it be one of your own country, or a Stranger, he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even: then shall he be clean. 16. "But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh; then he shall bear his iniquity." EATING FAT IS ON THE SAME LEVEL AS EATING BLOOD: YET THERE IS NO JEHOVAH'S WITLESSES® PROHIBITION AGAINST EATING ANIMAL FAT. . LEVITICUS 11:1-12. AND The LORD Spoke unto Moses and to Aaron, Saying unto them, 2. “Speak unto the Children of Israel, saying, 'THESE ARE THE BEASTS WHICH YE SHALL EAT AMONG ALL THE BEASTS THAT ARE ON THE EARTH.' 3. "Whatsoever parteth the hoof and is cloven-footed and cheweth the cud among the Beasts, that shall ye eat. 4. "Nevertheless these shall ye not eat, of those that chew the cud or of those that divide the hoof: the camel, because he cheweth the cud but divideth not the hoof, he is unclean unto you; 5. "And the coney, because he cheweth the cud but divideth not the hoof, he is unclean unto you; 6. "And the hare, because he cheweth the cud but divideth not the hoof, he is unclean unto you; 7. "And the swine, though he divide the hoof and is cloven-footed, yet he cheweth not the cud, he is unclean to you. 8. "Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcass shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you." 9. "These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat. 10. "And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you: 11. "They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination. 12. "Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you." THERE ARE NO DIETARY PROHIBITION AGAINST UNCLEAN MEATS, YET THEY MANAGED TO INVENT A COMMANDMENT AGAINST BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS. . ACTS 15:1-31. AND certain men which came down from Judaea taught the Brethren, and said, “EXCEPT YE BE CIRCUMCISED AFTER THE MANNER OF MOSES, YE CANNOT BE SAVED.” 2. When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the Apostles and Elders about this question. 3. And being brought on their way by the Church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the Conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the Brethren. 4. And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the Church, and of the Apostles and Elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them. 5. But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which Believed, saying, "THAT IT WAS NEEDFUL TO CIRCUMCISE THEM, AND TO COMMAND THEM TO KEEP THE LAW OF MOSES." 6. And the Apostles and Elders came together for to consider of this matter. 7. And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, “Men and Brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the Word of The Gospel, and Believe. 8. And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them The Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us; 9. “And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by Faith. 10. "Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the Disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? 11. “But we believe that through The Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be Saved, even as they.” 12. Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them. 13. And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, "Men and Brethren, hearken unto me: 14. "Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for His Name. 15." And to this agree The Words of the Prophets; as it is written, 16. 'AFTER THIS I WILL RETURN, AND WILL BUILD AGAIN THE TABERNACLE OF DAVID, WHICH IS FALLEN DOWN; AND I WILL BUILD AGAIN THE RUINS THEREOF, AND I WILL SET IT UP: 17. 'THAT THE RESIDUE OF MEN MIGHT SEEK AFTER THE LORD, AND ALL THE GENTILES, UPON WHOM MY NAME IS CALLED, SAITH THE LORD, WHO DOETH ALL THESE THINGS.' 18. "Known unto God are all His Works from The Beginning of the World. 19. "Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God: 20. "But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood. 21. "For Moses of Old Time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath Day." 22. Then pleased it the Apostles and Elders with the whole Church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas and Silas, chief men among the Brethren: 23. And they wrote letters by them after this manner; “THE APOSTLES AND ELDERS AND BRETHREN SEND GREETING UNTO THE BRETHREN WHICH ARE OF THE GENTILES IN ANTIOCH AND SYRIA AND CILICIA. 24. “FORASMUCH AS WE HAVE HEARD, THAT CERTAIN WHICH WENT OUT FROM US HAVE TROUBLED YOU WITH WORDS, SUBVERTING YOUR SOULS, SAYING, [b]'YE MUST BE CIRCUMCISED, AND KEEP THE LAW:' TO WHOM WE GAVE NO SUCH COMMANDMENT: 25. “IT SEEMED GOOD UNTO US, BEING ASSEMBLED WITH ONE ACCORD, TO SEND CHOSEN MEN UNTO YOU WITH OUR BELOVED BARNABAS AND PAUL, 26. “MEN THAT HAVE HAZARDED THEIR LIVES FOR THE NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. 27. “WE HAVE SENT THEREFORE JUDAS AND SILAS, WHO SHALL ALSO TELL YOU THE SAME THINGS BY MOUTH. 28. “FOR IT SEEMED GOOD TO THE HOLY GHOST, AND TO US, TO LAY UPON YOU NO GREATER BURDEN THAN THESE NECESSARY THINGS; 29. 'THAT YE ABSTAIN FROM MEATS OFFERED TO IDOLS, AND FROM BLOOD, AND FROM THINGS STRANGLED, AND FROM FORNICATION: FROM WHICH IF YE KEEP YOURSELVES, YE SHALL DO WELL. FARE YE WELL.' ” 30. So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the Epistle: 31. Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation. THIS IS THE BASIS OF THAT DOCTRINE. The Problem is: THE DISCIPLES WERE NOT AUTHORIZED TO CREATE EVEN A SINGLE COMMANDMENT! . MATTHEW 23:1-15. THEN Spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his Disciples, 2. Saying, "The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: 3. "All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. 4. "For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. 5. "But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, 6. "And love the Uppermost Rooms at feasts, and the Chief Seats in the Synagogues, 7. "And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, 'Rabbi, Rabbi.' 8. "But be not ye called 'Rabbi:' for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are Brethren. 9. "And call no man your father upon the Earth: for one is your Father, Which is in Heaven. 10. "Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. 11. "But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. 12. "And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. 13. "But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, Hypocrites! for ye shut up The Kingdom of Heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. 14. "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, Hypocrites! For ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive The Greater Damnation. 15. "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, Hypocrites! for ye compass Sea and Land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more The Child of Hell than yourselves." LORD YESHUA HAD TAUGHT THAT THE LETTER OF THE LAW DOES NOT TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER HEALTH AND EVEN ANIMAL LIFE. . MATTHEW 12:1-14. AT that time Jesus went on the Sabbath Day through the corn; and his Disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat. 2. But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, "Behold, thy Disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon The Sabbath Day." 3. But he Said unto them, "Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him; 4. "How he entered into The House of God, and did eat the Shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the Priests? 5. "Or have ye not read in the Law, how that on the Sabbath Days the Priests in The Temple profane the Sabbath, and are blameless? 6. "But I Say unto you, 'THAT IN THIS PLACE IS ONE GREATER THAN THE TEMPLE.' 7. "But if ye had known what this meaneth, 'I WILL HAVE MERCY, AND NOT SACRIFICE,' ye would not have condemned the guiltless. 8. "For The Son of Man is Lord even of The Sabbath Day." 9. And when he was departed thence, he went into their Synagogue: 10. And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, "Is it lawful to Heal on The Sabbath Days?" that they might accuse him. 11. And he Said unto them, "What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on The Sabbath Day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out? 12. "How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the Sabbath Days." 13. Then Saith he to the man, "Stretch forth thine hand." And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other. 14. Then the Pharisees went out, and held a Council against him, how they might destroy him.

Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I (am) The LORD. 33. "And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him. 34.

JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES have pitched their own tent and so far so good they have cultivated all the qualities of God's Holy Spirit in their midst! Galatians 5:22-23 So there's no need to continue arguing just go and pitch your own tent somewhere and let people see what becomes of you and your medulla oblongata!
