joyandfaith:Oh, I do house to house evangelism. A JW doesn't open their doors or collect tracks from Christians. Let me ask you, do you open your door and allow a conversation? The last time I went out, the JW man came out at the balcony instead of allowing me inside. He quickly started arguments and won't let me talk. I knew the spirit at work, I left him. Am not enjoined to go out and engage in contentious arguments. The people are so argumentative. |

dolphinheart:Now that you preach this Kingdom which Christ is King there, do you preach that it's only being born again by accepting Christ as your Lord and personal Saviour, without which you can't enter into that Kingdom? Am presenting you facts JW and I have talked about. 2 Likes |

analice107: Talks about Hell fire I feel the postulates of hell is subjective to one's mindsect or perception. I feel my loving father God won't just deliberately fix me in fiercely flame of fire,just because of an action I did due to my internal hormonal need eg sex. The day, I started applying the school of thoughts of reality into the Bible, instead of always being subjective,was when my fanatism state declined. Well, I will start believing in the theory of hell myth, whenever it is empirically proven. Thanks Ma |

Princewell2012: My brother, they're only good in manipulating the scriptures like Devil does. Imaging an organization who claimed to be directed by God even the very mouthpiece of God but lie & misquote people's statements just to suit their evil agenda. I know them more than you if you want me to tell you more about them i will because that's my whole responsibility "making known the truth of the scriptures". Of course if you read their books or listen to them it might make little sense but by the time you check the details of it, it'll full of lies and misrepresentation of people's statements. 1 Like |

analice107: Don't mind him, If you read Malachi 3:1 you will see the speaker saying "...BEFORE ME..." The ME in that verse is Jehovah and again, John the Baptist was called a messenger even before his birth, does that make him an Angel? That's how they use to twist scriptures. |

Jessicha:Am the liar right? Maybe Jesus is also a liar for preaching hellfire. In the voice of John the Baptist. His winnowing fan (shovel, fork) is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clear out and clean His threshing floor and gather and store His wheat in His barn, but the chaff He will burn up with fire that cannot be put out. Who or what does the chaff here represent? In the voice of Jesus of Nazareth. Amplified Bible Matthew 13:36-44 Then He left the throngs and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him saying, Explain to us the parable of the darnel in the field. He answered, He Who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world, and the good seed means the children of the kingdom; the darnel is the children of the evil one, And the enemy who sowed it is the devil. The harvest is the close and consummation of the age, and the reapers are angels. Just as the darnel (weeds resembling wheat) is gathered and burned with fire, so it will be at the close of the age. The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all causes of offense [persons by whom others are drawn into error or sin] and all who do iniquity and act wickedly, And will cast them into the furnace of fire; there will be weeping and wailing and grinding of teeth. Then will the righteous (those who are upright and in right standing with God) shine forth like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Let him who has ears [to hear] be listening, and let him consider and perceive and understand by hearing. Go ahead call Jesus a liar. Matthew 13:36-44. Then He left the throngs and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him saying, Explain to us the parable of the darnel in the field. He answered, He Who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world, and the good seed means the children of the kingdom; the darnel is the children of the evil one, And the enemy who sowed it is the devil. The harvest is the close and consummation of the age, and the reapers are angels. Just as the darnel (weeds resembling wheat) is gathered and burned with fire, so it will be at the close of the age. The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all causes of offense [persons by whom others are drawn into error or sin] and all who do iniquity and act wickedly, And will cast them into the furnace of fire; there will be weeping and wailing and grinding of teeth. Then will the righteous (those who are upright and in right standing with God) shine forth like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Let him who has ears [to hear] be listening, and let him consider and perceive and understand by hearing. Matt 13: 47-50 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet which was cast into the sea and gathered in fish of every sort. When it was full, men dragged it up on the beach, and sat down and sorted out the good fish into baskets, but the worthless ones they threw away. So it will be at the close and consummation of the age. The angels will go forth and separate the wicked from the righteous (those who are upright and in right standing with God) And cast them [the wicked] into the furnace of fire; there will be weeping and wailing and grinding of teeth. Amplified Bible Mark 9:43,45,47-49 And if your hand puts a stumbling block before you and causes you to sin, cut it off! It is more profitable and wholesome for you to go into life [that is really worthwhile] maimed than with two hands to go to hell (Gehenna), into the fire that cannot be put out. And if your foot is a cause of stumbling and sin to you, cut it off! It is more profitable and wholesome for you to enter into life [that is really worthwhile] crippled than, having two feet, to be cast into hell (Gehenna). And if your eye causes you to stumble and sin, pluck it out! It is more profitable and wholesome for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into hell (Gehenna), Where their worm [which preys on the inhabitants and is a symbol of the wounds inflicted on the man himself by his sins] does not die, and the fire is not put out. For everyone shall be salted with fire. These are Jesus' quotes, In his voice. JW go about telling people not to worry, but continue in their sins, because when they die it ends there. No life after death. No accountability for any act. You claim God is a Just God, but you preach His love which will restrain him from carrying out his Justice. Really? Create this scene in your minds eyes. A criminal is caught after years of terrorizing the neighbourhood. This time, he raped a 5 years old. After due consultations, the doctor confirms the child is damaged. She won't be able to bear kids when she grows up. Coupled with all he had done in the past, he is brought before a judge. He is found guilty. But before the judge passes his sentence, he asks the man if he were sorry for what he did, the man says no, but would want the judge to free him anyways. The judge asks him why, he says, because you are a very good judge. You are too good and merciful and as a good and merciful judge acquit me and let me go. Now, to you. If the judge acquits the criminal, will he be good and kind to the little girl and her family? This is the kind of God JW go about proclaiming. You forget, he said he is a Merciful God, and a CONSUMING FIRE. YOU DO ANYHOW, YOU SEE ANYHOW. Because God is good, and Just, and kind and also fair, that's why He will recompense everyone according to their deeds. His Warnings are clear. There's a hellfire prepared for Satan and his agents, because of rebellion. Every man who joins Satan to rebel, will end up there. If you like call me whatever. At last we shall know who is lying. |

analice107: you are joining two things together here. Jesus definition of being born again is different from yours. and yes, jw's believe the words of Jesus found in John 3:3 In response Jesus said to him: “Most truly I say to you, unless anyone is born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God.” note: you too can notice you are not defending Ken4Christ statements and accusations again, you are now trying to raise your own issues. If you feel his statement againSt jw's are false, can you kindly let us know? Secondly, you did not tell me your views on John 17:3 |

Emusan:What baffles me is, these people leave clear to the point scriptures but go on the pick scriptures out of context and assume what those scriptures could be saying. Amplified Bible Hebrews 1:5-9 For to which of the angels did [God] ever say, You are My Son, today I have begotten You [established You in an official Sonship relation, with kingly dignity]? And again, I will be to Him a Father, and He will be to Me a Son? Moreover, when He brings the firstborn Son again into the habitable world, He says, Let all the angels of God worship Him. Referring to the angels He says, [God] Who makes His angels winds and His ministering servants flames of fire; But as to the Son, He says to Him, Your throne, O God, is forever and ever (to the ages of the ages), and the scepter of Your kingdom is a scepter of absolute righteousness (of justice and straightforwardness). You have loved righteousness [You have delighted in integrity, virtue, and uprightness in purpose, thought, and action] and You have hated lawlessness (injustice and iniquity). Therefore God, [even] Your God (Godhead), has anointed You with the oil of exultant joy and gladness above and beyond Your companions. Hebrews 1:13-14 Besides, to which of the angels has He ever said, Sit at My right hand [associated with Me in My royal dignity] till I make your enemies a stool for your feet? Are not the angels all ministering spirits (servants) sent out in the service [of God for the assistance] of those who are to inherit salvation? Why don't these JW see this scriptures? 1 Like |

dolphinheart:what about it?

So, to you this makes Christ an Angel? fine, you also tell me your views on these scriptures. Amplified Bible Philippians 2:6-9 Who, although being essentially one with God and in the form of God [possessing the fullness of the attributes which make God God], did not think this equality with God was a thing to be eagerly grasped or retained, But stripped Himself [of all privileges and rightful dignity], so as to assume the guise of a servant (slave), in that He became like men and was born a human being. And after He had appeared in human form, He abased and humbled Himself [still further] and carried His obedience to the extreme of death, even the death of the cross! Therefore [because He stooped so low] God has highly exalted Him and has freely bestowed on Him the name that is above every name, |

analice107: these verses show we must know God and Jesus. And God elevated Jesus. What are angels? All Popular Saints An angel is a pure spirit created by God. The Old Testament theology included the belief in angels: the name applied to certain spiritual beings or intelligences of heavenly residence, employed by God as the ministers of His will. The English word "angel" comes from the Greek angelos, which means 'messenger'. In the Old Testament, with two exceptions, the Hebrew word for "angel" is malak, also meaning 'messenger'. The prophet Malachi took his name from this word. He was himself a messenger, and he prophesied about the coming of "the messenger of the covenant", Jesus Christ ( Malachi 3:1 ). Although the word "angel" in the Bible, meaning a messenger, nearly always applies to heavenly beings, it can occasionally apply to human messengers. Malachi himself said a priest was a messenger (malak) of the LORD of hosts ( Malachi 2:7 ), and in the Book of Revelation the elders of the seven churches of Asia were called angels ( 1:20; 2:1 etc.). But when we meet messengers doing supernatural things, there is no doubt they are heavenly beings - God's messengers, working for Him and for the ultimate benefit of mankind. http://www.catholic.org/saints/angels/ |
