You mean, angel Michael?

MaxInDHouse:


Please present the fine WORKS of your own Jesus {James 2:18-26} it doesn't matter where the Jesus JWs preach comes from after all none of us have ever been to heaven neither are we present when Jesus walked the earth but one thing is certain:

Jesus is a active worker who keeps working for his father's name to be sanctified {John 4:34} so any group of worshipers no matter what they say about Jesus is of no importance than the fine WORKS they're able to do in the name of Jesus! Matthew 7:16-18

So please present the group of worshipers practicing what Jesus taught that's better than what JWs are doing globally!

Newsextra014:

On Sunday, February 12, 2023, Jehovah Witnesses in Nigeria unveiled the New World Translation Bibles in two languages indigenous to Nigeria, Urhobo and Pidgin English.

The event coincided with the visit of representatives of the Governing Body of the organisation to Nigeria. It was broadcast live to Kingdom Halls and Assembly Halls of Jehovah’s Witnesses located around the country to over half a million people.

The key highlight of the event, the release of the New Testament of the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures in Urhobo and Pidgin English, was overseen by Mr. Jeffrey Winder, a member of the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

According to Mr. Jama Onwubuariri, Media Representative of Jehovah’s Witnesses, “Pidgin English is spoken by over 75 million persons in Nigeria.

Other speakers can be found in West Africa, Europe and the US. These speakers deserve to understand God’s Word without the hindrance of language.

The idea is to produce a Pidgin translation that could speak to the heart of Pidgin English speakers in different countries of West and Central Africa.”

“There are about 5 million users of the Urhobo language. The language has some dialects and has changed over time. This translation in Urhobo is done in accordance with the dynamism of the language and can easily be understood by various dialectal groups within the Urhobo community.” He said.

Napoleon Ogheneroro and Oke Ojonah who are both Urhobo speakers and members of the Jehovah’s witnesses in Lagos expressed delight on the launch of the Bible in West African Pidgin and Urhobo. 

They added that the move would immensely aid sharing the word of Jehovah with people especially in the rural areas and generally as many will understand better in indigenous languages than in English.

According to Mr. Jahswill Stevens, another Media Representative of Jehovah’s Witnesses, “in a world full of challenges, the message of the Bible brings the comfort and hope we so desperately need. Our goal is not financial profit; we are motivated by love for people, because we want to help as many people as possible to have access to this message in their language.”

All translators are Jehovah’s Witnesses volunteers and have chosen to remain anonymous. Jehovah’s Witnesses have been publishing an increasing number of videos in Urhobo and Pidgin English with the content of Bible-based books, magazines, movies and songs with advice that helps people deal with everyday challenges. There is content available for all audiences: children, young people, parents, families.

One of the most widely distributed magazines in the world – The Watchtower – is also available in Urhobo and Pidgin English. The Pidgin and Urhobo language publications can easily be accessed from jw.org by selecting the required language from the top right corner of the site. Also, the publications, including the newly released Urhobo and Pidgin English Translations, can be downloaded and read on JW Library App.

All the material produced by Jehovah’s Witnesses are made available free of charge. Their publications are part of a voluntary work to help people around the world to understand the Bible. Expenses for their work are covered by donations.

Jehovah’s Witnesses have been active in Nigeria since 1921. They now number over 400,000.·Their educational work is carried out in over 240 lands and is voluntary. All publications produced by the Witnesses, including the Bible, are distributed free of charge. The Witnesses respect each person’s right to decide whether to listen to their message or not.

There are no national or social barriers among Jehovah’s Witnesses – they are from hundreds of countries, speak hundreds of languages and address one another simply as Brothers and Sisters

Some of the characteristics of the New World Translation and manuscripts were used to produce it are:

Hebrew (Old Testament) Text: The New World Translation of the Hebrew Scriptures (1953-1960, in English) was based on Rudolf Kittel’s Biblia Hebraica. Since then, updated editions of the Hebrew text, such as the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia and the Biblia Hebraica Quinta, have included recent research based on the Dead Sea Scrolls and other ancient manuscripts.

These scholarly works reproduce the Leningrad Codex and include notes with comparative texts from other sources, such as the Samaritan Pentateuch, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Greek Septuagint, the Aramaic Targum, the Latin Vulgate, and the Syriac Peshitta. The editions of Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia and Biblia Hebraica Quinta were consulted.

Greek (New Testament) text: In the late 19th century, scholars B. F. Westcott and F.J.A. Hort compared existing manuscripts and fragments of the Bible in preparing a standard Greek text that they believed faithfully reflected the original writings. The standard text of these scholars was used as the basis for this translation, in addition to other ancient papyri, probably dating from the second and third centuries CE.

Furthermore, standard texts such as those by Nestle and Aland and the United Bible Societies reflect recent scholarly research. Some of the findings from these surveys were included in the 2013 revision of the New World Translation of the Bible.

Ken4Christ:

The New World Translation is a documentary of lies. They have changed so many things in the Bible. They even call Jesus a god in John 1:1.
May God punish all those who published this Bible and those who market it in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

MaxInDHouse:


With that same Bible they have fulfilled what is recorded in the Bible book Isaiah 2:2-4 and repeated at Micah 4:1-3.
So just as Satan's agents back in the first century wish Jesus and his disciples evil your evil tongue means nothing to us because Jesus said
"by their FRUITS you will know them" Matthew 7:16-18
If the JWs are able to perform excellently with that translation of the Bible but all what you have is mouth actions like harlots {Revelations 17:5} then your hopeless, helpless, worthless and useless credulity is DEAD on arrival! James 2:18-26

Ken4Christ:

Master of lies. You lie even more than the devil devil himself. These lies is preparing for for hottest part of hell. And you will swim in the Lake of Fire for the rest of your life. I wish I will be allowed to supervise your pains. You have turned the Bible upside down.

MaxInDHouse:
Your wishes means nothing to the true God! Jeremiah 7:31
So go and gather your kind we are working for our own God!

Ken4Christ:

But you know deep within you that your doctrines are false. This is why I love God. He has placed a conscience within us to either approve or reject what we do. Search your conscience and I know it will tell you that all is not well with your teachings. But you just keep suppressing it. And it is what God will use against you on that day. That you have traveled on a wrong road for too long doesn't mean you must continue on it even when it's very clear you are on the wrong road. Please, give your life to Christ and avoid that horrible place. Stop hardening your heart. Why must you burn in hell for the rest of your life when you can freely enjoy the bliss of heaven?

MaxInDHouse:


I am 100% certain that you're on your way to eternal damnation because you have nothing to present as evidence of your faith! James 2:18-26

Ken4Christ:

Keep deceiving yourself. You can't lie against your conscience. Listen to its voice. It's telling you that you are not in the right place. But you are ignoring it.

MaxInDHouse:

Ọmọ it's not about emotions because if it is Apostle Paul's conscience convinced him fully that he was doing a good job for God when he was killing the Christians. Galatians 1:14
It's works yielding positive results which the first century Christians had but Paul never had until he became one of them.
Jesus said "by their FRUITS you will know" {Matthew 7:16-18} James confirmed that it's the visible WORKS that justifies true faith not credulity and emotions that's based on false religions ideas! James 2:18-26

So present a group of worshipers practicing what Jesus taught just as Jesus presented them before everyone {Matthew 12:46-50} i'm presenting to you the organization of Jehovah's Witnesses the one and only group fulfilling what Jesus promised obedient mankind!

Ken4Christ:


Keep deceiving yourself. You can't lie against your conscience. Listen to its voice. It's telling you that you are not in the right place. But you are ignoring it.

Humble yourself, LYING Pastorpreneur.
Learn the lesson of James 2:20-24.

Or deceiving yourself.

Ken4Christ:

Practicing what Jesus taught does not make you a Christian in the same way going to a zoo does not make you an animal. You must be born again first. No short cut.

MaxInDHouse:


Idiot!

If practicing what Jesus taught doesn't make one a Christian then what is a Christian?

Ken4Christ:


A Christian is one who has received the life of Christ in him. His heart has been changed supernaturally by God the very day he receives Jesus as Lord and Saviour.

This is the meaning of the word, born again.

It is a rebirth of the human spirit.

Prophet Ezekiel saw it and foretold how it will happen - Ezekiel 36:26-27.

So, you must receive a new heart first which only God can give. Your responsibility is to believe in Jesus and ask him to come into your life.

But trying to follow his teachings in your sinful state will not change you. You are still a sinner condemned.

Let Jesus into your life first. You must be born again. Otherwise, you remain condemned no matter how many instructions you try to follow.

MaxInDHouse:
This is why i used to call you guys "misinformed Churchgoers"

The group name "CHRISTIANS" was first pronounced in a city known as Antioch {Act 11:26} it was the ACTIVITIES of Jesus' disciples that observers noticed before they began calling them by the name Jesus claimed "CHRIST" so a CHRISTIAN is a member of the group PRACTICING what Jesus of Nazareth the man who claimed he's CHRIST laid down!

So go and teach your gullible friends the nonsense and ingredients your pastors infused in your skull. God's word explicitly explained what CHRISTIAN means!

Ken4Christ:


Jesus said, except a man is born again, you can't see the kingdom of God and you also can't enter.

So, it's after you are born again before you start practicing what he taught.

If you try to practice it with your old sinful nature, you are still doomed. You are like someone trying to climb through the window to enter the wedding party.

You will be caught and arrested and thrown out.

So, receive Jesus into your heart first. Otherwise, you and the millions of Jehovah Witness are not part of God's kingdom. You will all burn in hell. The choice is yours.

You must be born again.

MaxInDHouse:


Misinformed Churchgoers with delusion!

Leave born again issue and settle what the scriptures says about the name "CHRISTIANS" when that is resolved you can go back to complicate things for your own skull.

According to the Bible book of Act 11:26 who are Christians?
Practicers of what Jesus taught or born again ?

Ken4Christ:

You are not a student of a school until you gain admission first. So trying to practice what the students do does not make you one of them. In the same sense, you are not a Christian because you are doing what Jesus commanded. You must be a part of the kingdom of God first. Jesus said, you must be born again first. This is the doorway. But you are trying to climb through the window. You are still a sinner. Your sacrifices are abomination unto God. Get washed in the blood of Jesus first.

MaxInDHouse:


When did Jesus' disciples became Christians?
Is it after their baptism in the spirit or when they started preaching and teaching what Jesus taught them?

Ken4Christ:

When they believed in him.

AnyanwuSilas:
It's easy for the Bible to be translated into any Nigerian or African language but hard for school textbooks to be translated into Nigerian or African language.

Let's be deceiving ourselves.

MaxInDHouse:


So were they BORN AGAIN immediately they believe in him or it was after the event that occured at pentecost that they became BORN AGAIN?

Ken4Christ:


Yes, they were born again. And that was what qualified them to receive the baptism with the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost.

Two agency of the new birth are the word and the Holy Spirit.

The words of Jesus are life. The very moment they believed that Jesus is Christ, they were born again.

MaxInDHouse:


So Judas Iscariot was BORN AGAIN before he sold Jesus out for money, shey?

Ọmọ humble yourself and learn!

They became Christians the very day they began preaching and teaching what Jesus taught them in their neighbourhood that very day they preached and cured people in Jesus name Judas was among {Matthew 10:1-10} including many who later turned their backs on him! John 6:66

After most of them have gone their ways due to personal opinions only a few of them were baptized with God's Holy Spirit {John 3:5} after their baptism in water {John 3:26} and these few became BORN AGAIN Christians at pentecost! Act 2:1-4
