You've not answered the question!

Is it the same God that created your forefather who worshiped idols before the white man brought the Bible?
Is your forefather still living somewhere after stepping out of his lifeless body?
If YES is your answer to the above then what makes Abraham, Isaac and Jacob special than your ancestor who also died and stepped out of his lifeless body just like Abraham, Isaac and Jacob?

I won't teach you what Jesus meant there unless you humbly request a Bible study but if you're OK with what you think you know then let the matter rest. But know that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are descendants of Adam {Romans 5:2} they're not worthy of God's glory {Romans 3:23} so just like all other descendants of Adam they are DEAD awaiting resurrection in their graves.

As for why God keeps calling Himself the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob i will not teach you unless you humbly request a Bible study from us: JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES! smiley

One of the units of the FRUIT of the Holy Spirit is certainly NOT ARROGANCE!

Last night, I went to charge phone is a neighbors place cos the generator was on. I went there and I noticed things were different.
The outside door was locked. I knocked and she kept saying 'Who is there?' I was surprised cos they simply just open cos they knew who it will be at that time of the night. I did not reply but she kept asking again until she stopped asking. I knocked again but was asked the same question, I told them it was me, Emmanuel.
They opened for me and I charged. She (a very mature lady) asked me if I heard of the man that died yesterday as he lived in the same house but in a different flat and I said yes. She then asked if I was scared. I almost laughed but I said no. I then understood everything that happened: The fear of the dead.

I remember that growing up, I used to have this terrible fear of the dead and death, I hate such stories of dead people and the movies I watch won't make me sleep. If someone dies, I sleep like someone is hunting me. I was just fearful
But when I studied the Bible with Jehovah's Witnesses about the condition of the dead, the fear left me. Every molecule of such fear left me so much that I even stopped fearing other people and animals. I learned the truth about the dead and it set me free.
I just thank Jehovah for divine truths, I can even go and sleep next to that man on the same bed and even cross my body over his and I won't fear anything... The dead are unconscious. They can't do what the living can do. They can't harm or help us. They have no thought or knowledge. They don't know who loved or hated them, who were their friends or enemies or who are owning them money. They are simply DEAD.

There are different doctrines and opinions and philosophies concerning the dead, death but all cannot be true right?

Who can tell us the truth about death and the dead? It is Jehovah God as he knows everything, he is the source of life and he can tell us what happens when we die

Where can we find answers to that question? It is found in Ecclesiastics 9:4-6, 10:

4.There is hope for whoever is among the living, because a live dog is better off than a dead lion.
5 For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing at all, nor do they have any more reward, because all memory of them is forgotten.
6 Also, their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished, and they no longer have any share in what is done under the sun
10.Whatever your hand finds to do, do with all your might, for there is no work nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom in the Grave, where you are going.

The dead are unconscious, we can't help or feed them and they can't help us. No need to fear them, pay mass for them or appease them or give them food or wine or observe expensive things for them. Those who know the truth of the dead are free from fear and financial expenses or them. They are not suffering somewhere or in a hellfire or purgatory. They are sleeping in the grave and in God's due time, he will resurrect them. What a hope!
Now I can walk through a cemetery with no fear
They can't harm us. I just dey laff. If e sure for u, go sleep for Cemetary for Night or enter Mortuary without doing the needful. grin

It's not about putting God to test but believing God's word!

The first human who ever lived on this planet was told:

But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad, you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will certainly die. Genesis 2:17

Then later:

For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing at all, nor do they have any more reward, because all memory of them is forgotten. Ecclesiastes 9:5

Ọmọ that's why Jesus' disciples (females) were going to the cemetery where Jesus' body was laid without fear of anything!

So when the Sabbath was over, Mary Magʹda·lene, Mary the mother of James, and Sa·loʹme bought spices in order to come and apply them to his body. Mark 16:1

Somebody was challenged to sleep with a corpse and win big money and he did that. Infact, he wanted the challenge to continue so he could win more. How much more God's people who know the truth about the dead?

I hate noisemaking. If u are sure abt ur beliee, go and spend the night in mortuary. Just go to any mortuary close to u. Tell the mortuary attendants that u want to spend the night there. If u come back alive or as a normal humanbeing, then i will believe u. It is not abt just quoting unnecessary scriptures to backup ur ignorance.

U are just blinded by religion. U know nothing abt the spirit world. I don't need to come with u, u can do so. Telling me to go with u is sounds like u are scared. I know u haven't done this b4, that's why i want u to practicalize ur belief. Secondly, i complicate issues that would implicate me.

Then you should go along na to witness it
You de challenge person. How will you know he pass it?
There are people who work in the mortuary even at night
There are those who go there to steal. They even put on the necklace, shoes and suit of the dead especially rich ones and nothing happened to them. Nigerians are really funny, they won't even pity the dead man and give him small respect. They just leave the grave open like that and people will come and see one dead man recently buried in rich clothes but he is now in pant or boxer. Sometimes, they cover the face as they steal from them. The dead are dead, lifeless, unconscious. If you a dead man should owe you, you don't expect him to come to pay you but I wonder why someone will panic cos he owe a dead person. The Bible says that when someone dies, his thoughts (thinking faculties) have perished. Their hatred have perished, love have perished. They don't know who loved them or hated them or who even killed them. They are DEAD

I am a soldier and during battles myself and my colleagues spent days in the forest where bodies of thousands of casualties lie unburied.
So the mortuary where they're neatly kept means nothing to me!

So i've know a lot about the dead before i embraced Christianity, even those we shot dead we still hang around their dead bodies waiting for their cohorts to show up so we can send them to their early graves.

Sleeping the forest is abit different because of the situation u find urself unlike sleeping in the mortuary where bodies are kept.

My brother, that's why i'm so happy being one of Jehovah's Witnesses today preaching and teaching people how to save lives.

Perhaps he taught a soldier like me could be scared of the dead bodies of people i never had any issue with when i've matched on the bodies of those we killed ourselves laying ambush at night for the rest of them.

As a soldier, they are trained to kill. Dead bodies is like nothing to them but that doesn't exempt him from being harmed by spirits if he goes beyond his limit.
