Princewell2012: At least those burning perpetually know the reason why they are being punished. You can see that armageddon is even more cruel than hell fire. |

analice107: guess the other issues are no more, these is the new one we need to attend to . 1. The verse tells us who the only true God is, it let's us know it's the father(if we read from verse 1) do you agree with these? 2. Its the knowledge or knowing the father and the one he sent that leads to eternal life, do you agree with these? 3. that since jesus is not the father, thus jesus is not the only true God. do you agree with these? I've never said that verse makes jesus an angel, but it does makes jesus a messenger, one sent to do something. do you agree with these? fine, you also tell me your views on these scriptures. I'm going to use the ESV here. Paul was talking about humility among christians and he used jesus as a perfect example 3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, he then went on to show how jesus showed such humility 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, b being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, Jesus had a divine nature prior to his coming to earth, but he did not let that nature make him feel he can be equal to God(the father)he did not think it's a position he can grasp. Jesus continued such obedience even after finding himself in the form of man, to the point of death! that is why God exalted him and gave him a name that is above every name. All these is to the glory of God , the father. 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. These issue clears one thing up, that Jesus is not equal no wish to claim equality with the father, he is loyal, Faithfull to his God and Father, Jehovah. that is why jesus was exalted above his fellows/companions. This now brings up my question to you. what do you understand by heb 1:9 and who are jesus companions/ fellows that Jesus was exalted above. King James Bible Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. *in heaven, he was seated at the right hand of the most high! |

analice107: why do you think jw's strive to stay away from sin despite not believing in hell fire? do you know what goes to hell? |
Re: Why Are Jehovah Witness Not Given Attention by analice107: 10:47pm On Apr 11, 2016 |
dolphinheart:that is it there. "striving" to be without sin. bros there's no amount of your Striving can make you right before God. you must accept the finished work of Christ on the Cross. If you can Strive to attain righteousness by yourself, then why did christ die? what was the need for his shed blood? Jesus says, that this your kind of righteousness, which you are working out by yourself is like filthy rags in side of God. you see why i say, you people dont believe in Christ? The Muslim have their own version of Christ and who Christ is to them,so also JW. how can christ died and shed his blood and we are still talking about good works? what is redemption? do u even believe in it? |

Re: Why Are Jehovah Witness Not Given Attention by dolphinheart(m): 11:23pm On Apr 11, 2016 |
analice107:never said there was an amount of "striving" you can do to be before God. never said I do not accept Jesus' work. I believe I've mentioned it several times the very important roles jesus played in the quest for salvation by humans, and how no one can have life without jesus. I never said I strive to attain life by myself. jw's try not to sin despite not believing in hell fire. therefore , there desire to serve God is borne out of love for him and not out of fear of being burnt. Jesus says, that this your kind of righteousness, which you are working out by yourself is like filthy rags in side of God. Haba, never said I'm working out righteousness by myself na. striving not to sin, is it not a good thing again? If you follow jesus and believe he is the savior, will you then strive to sin? so if you feel that after accepting jesus as Lord and savior, believing that only through Jesus can we receive life, believing in Jesus ransom sacrifice, you then strive not to be a sinner, why do you think differently of my own striving! |

paulGrundy: No, amageddon is a war which will take place on the last day, just like the one which took place in heaven. This one is going to be between God and the evil men, atleast they will die once and forall. But in hellfire you will burn forever. Those people who will die during amageddon war also knows their fault, and while they were being punished or kill. Now do you want to tell me that Satan doesn't know his fault? The people who were destroy with flood during noah period, do they not know they are evil and wicked? If two people want to present a loving God to their children, one said his God will punish or kill you once and forall, and another says his God will roast you in fire forever, which of those God will those children agree to follow? Do you really think you re evangelising for God? Mmmmm. Pls can you answer this questions? 1. Who created hellfire ? If your answer is God then. 2. When were it created? Was hellfire his original plan from the beginning or did he just wake one morning and decided to do it? 3. Who were it made for? 4. The generations that were before Jesus will they be a partakers of hellfire? 5. Where they also warn about the intending danger of hellfire, if not why? 6. Is people already in hellfire now? 7. Does God has power to quench the fire in hell? 8.His disobedient children that are in hellfire, or that will be in hellfire if they called on him for mercy will he be able to pardon them and grant them mercy? 9.All the men of God and his prophets did they warn the sinner about hellfire? if not pls can you elucify? 10.Does he know those who will go to hellfire or not before he created them? 11.His main reasons of creating man, was he able to achieve them? 12. You and God who is more merciful than each others? Finally, 13: will you be able to throw your son in a very hot fire to burn, let say atleast for 48 hrs without mercy for disobeying your order? Pls i want you to humbly and cincerely answer these questions. Thank you. |

Princewell2012: Your definition of evil men, does it include those who have not heard of Jehovahs witnesses? But in hellfire you will burn forever. How will they know they know their fault? When they have not heard the gospel, remember middle east countries that proselytizing is a crime, and countries where JW preaching work is not wide e.g Asia. Now do you want to tell me that Satan doesn't know his fault? |

dolphinheart: You didn't reply to my post because you couldn't, but I will show you where you are wrong here, anyway. You have no understanding, nothing you said changes the fact that the Word-Jesus Christ is God, which scriptures confirm. I am the same human spirit and flesh as my father but my father is superior to me The Father God begat Jesus, meaning Jesus is of the Father, God is Spirit, the Word-Jesus Christ is that same God spirit, just as you are the same human spirit and flesh as your father. THE ONLY TRUE GOD Of course the Father is the only True God, God is one, God and the Word is the only true God Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Also you say Jesus is an Angel, disregarding scriptures showing He isn't an angel so with Jesus, according to supposed jw doctrine, being begotten by God, and with Jesus being an Angel, that would mean Father God is an Angel as well. Is Father God an Angel? or did the Word create the Angels. The Word-God created the Angels but supposed jw would have you believe an Angel created the Angels. |

[quote author=analice107 post=44619056] why are you calling out Johnnydon? you dont want to get mad, but you believe the JW why? is it because you want to feel comfortable in yoir sin, thinking you can eat your cake and have it? you want proof for hellfire, yet you believe the JW even when the clearly deny obvious scriptures that talks about it. what proof did they give to you to believe there is no Hellfire? My dear ,I am not calling on johnnydonn, He made the assertion of "Christians worshiping their fears" and I am quoting him,because there is sense in what he said. Well,I believed them JW because most of their preaching tow down the lane of peace, love, and respect. Not creating a picture any fiercy fire burning vulnerable humans. Moreover, I asked for proof and the best you could do ma is to give me a rhetorical reply.No problem Well, If all the stories are real? I just hope the said light that changed Saul a very creul chacter in the Bible to Paul a mouthpiece/vicar of God, will shine open us. As proof that all the postulations we hear and read are for real.Thanks |
Re: Why Are Jehovah Witness Not Given Attention by joyandfaith: 7:30am On Apr 12, 2016 |
johnw74: john 17:3 and 1 cor 15;27,28 address the issues you raised. Jesus was sent by God and meaning of angel is messenger. mal 3:1 refers Jesus as messenger of Malachi. hope you are not lazy too check the verses.check them and let us know ur opinion. |

JMAN05: Romans 10:9-10King James Version (KJV) 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. @analice, the watchtower believe that one is born again when you are baptized in their church and you carry bag and umbrella upandan inside hot sun. That's why when you see a JW preaching, he is doing it out of fear of armaggedon cos he was taught that his salvation (which was already paid by Jesus' blood) is a debt he cannot fully pay So no matter how active in preaching a JW is, if armaggedon comes when he is inactive, God will kill him with others. Someone will come and tell me that hell fire is cruel, show how cruel hell is and I will show you how senseless and manipulative armaggedon end of world doctrine is. |

JMAN05:Yes, if you believe and confess Christ as the son of the only living God, and believe he died for your sons, and resurrected for yoir justification, you will be saved. YES. And, bros You lie. dont forget JW batch into our homes everyday, we talk with the reasonable ones who allow us talk. For one, i dont turn away anyone with the Bible, preaching the gospel, i will listen after which ask questions. i was once given a Watchtower magazine, and the headline was "What is born again?". The writers went on to nagate what Jesus talked about. Guy, pls stop lying. JW tell half truths and twist everything around. Thats actually Satan's ploy to decieve. 1 Like |

virginboy1: Let me tell you another glaring truth about such barbaric unjust beliefs. If the person offering you salvation is exactly the same person threatening you, then it is not salvation but blackmail, tyranny and sheer abuse. she said God doesn't send you to hell but your rebellion, who exactly prepared hell.. you? Check another similar scenario. Mr John was walking along the way enjoying the music from his newly bought phone, and then all of a sudden Mr Yahweh jumps out with a gun pointed at John's face. Give me that Phone or i shoot you.. Now John has two options either give the phone to Mr Yahweh and live or refuse and bite the bullet. Mr John rebels and refuses and Mr Yahweh pulls the trigger and runs later apprehended by the police and charged to court. His lawyer Analice107 makes a case for him, she rents. "Your honour, Mr Yahweh here is innocent of murder, Mr john actually committed suicide" "How so?" Asked the baffled judge. "Your honour, my dear mr Yahweh lovingly asked Mr John for his phone or he gets the bullet and this is rooted in Mr John's freewill, he either chooses to obey the authority or choose the bullet. He chose the bullet by refusing and rebelling against my dear loving mr yahweh. so you see, it was not Mr yahweh that killed mr John rather it was Mr John's rebellion and refusal to comply with the demands of the loving gentle Yahweh." And then the Judge declares Yahweh innocent. So you see? As she said, Yahweh is innocent of sending you to hell just as much as an armed robber who shoots you for refusing to give him your money. it was your rebellion that shot you not the armed robber 7 Likes 6 Shares |

johnw74:I did reply your post, but if you feel there is a part I omitted, let me know You have no understanding, nothing you said changes the fact that the Word-Jesus Christ is God, which scriptures confirm.but you refused to respond to what I said, if they are true or not. We would have known more about who Jesus is if you had told us if I'm right or wrong with what I said about Jesus. is the word the almighty God ? no is the word the most high? no is the word the father ? no is jesus always subjected to the father yes? is jesus a messenger of the father? yes did Jesus do the will of the Father ? yes is the father greater than jesus? yes does jesus have a god? yes is the father the God of jesus? yes I am the same human spirit and flesh as my father but my father is superior to megood, apply this to jesus too. is jesus the father ? no is jesus equal to the father ? no does jesus have divine nature as the father ? yes does the divine nature make him God almighty? no will humans share in this divine nature? yes The Father God begat Jesus, meaning Jesus is of the Father, God is Spirit, the Word-Jesus Christ is that same God spirit, just as you are the same human spirit and flesh as your father.this is where lies are creeping in into your explanations. I've asked and I've received no response, is jesus the same person as the father? is jesus the father? your father gave birth to you, you HAVE the same spirit and flesh, not " you are " the same spirit and flesh(as you are trying to portray). you are two different persons who could talk, discuss, see, and be with each other. The scriptures have shown extensively that Jesus and Jehovah does this too. The person who Sat at the right hand of the Majesty on high is not the same spirit as the the Majesty on high! THE ONLY TRUE GODderived analogy will not help here, the scriptures never said Jesus is the only true God, it specifically told you that the father is the only true God. If jesus is not the father, then jesus cannot be the only true God. you say that God is one, one what? one God? one entity? one person?, but you are here trying to merge two god's together . "In the beginning was the word". The word had a beginning. " the word was with God ". The word cannot be with and still be that same person. therefore the word was a god , with a divine nature like the almighty God. He is a mighty God, but still subjected to his God and Father, Jehovah, the only true God! Also you say Jesus is an Angel, disregarding scriptures showing He isn't an angelthat a spirit messenger of almighty God can be a god does not mean the almighty God can be a spirit messenger. you agree that Jesus was begotten, the one who beget and the one who was begotten are not the same person, neither are they equal. The Word-God created the Angels but supposed jw would have you believe an Angel created the Angels.the word was used to create the Angels, he was Jehovahs master worker. [/quote] |
