lexiconkabir:I dont knw between you and Dr naik zakir who is a better liar. See what is in John 3:1-20. Read and stop lying to yourself, ok! John 3:1, Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council. 2 He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.” 3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.[a]” 4 “How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!” 5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit[b] gives birth to spirit. 7 You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You[c] must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”[d] 9 “How can this be?” Nicodemus asked. 10 “You are Israel’s teacher,” said Jesus, “and do you not understand these things? 11 Very truly I tell you, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony. 12 I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things? 13 No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man.[e] 14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,[f] 15 that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him. ”[g] 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. 19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God. Jesus was having a discussion with Nicodemus, a pharisee. Dont allow mohammed keep deceiving you. |

@true2god very funny, you are again quoting john, cuz that discussion was narrated by john. isn't it funny that the bible was written over 300years after the departure of jesus? paul from nowhere who never saw jesus started writing the gospel. 1 Like |

lexiconkabir:Islamic liar, so if I write a biography of Obasanjo and I quoted his statements 'verbatically', it wasnt obasanjo that made that the statement I quoted but me. Can you see how you reason, from the anus? When was the quran compiled, when mohammed was alive or when he was long gone? allahh knew that John wrote part of the injil which he asked you muslims to consult for direction, so alllahh is now deceiving you? Ok na. |

lexiconkabir:the scribes duties are to copies and NOT interpreter. The context was talking about false teacher and prophet, this concept was made known through out the scripture. To understand this verse you will have to read verse 8 and 9 together: “‘How can you say, “We are wise, for we have the law of the Lord,” when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely? 9 The wise will be put to shame; they will be dismayed and trapped. SINCE THEY HAVE REJECTED THE WORD OF THE LORD , WHAT KIND OF WISDOM DO THE HAVE? The " THEY" where the one saying "we are wise" and they are the one who reject the word of God. Notice these same people are being said to have rejected the word of the Lord. This is very common throughout the OT those who are claiming to speak for God but are not. Malachi calls them out, Amos calls them out, and Jeremiah calls them out. It was a recurring theme. Note that scribes are not just writers of the law - they are teachers too. Especially at this time, there was a hefty oral tradition of interpretation that had added much to the Torah. In the New Testament, Jesus makes the same charge (Matthew 23): 13 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to. [14] [b]15 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are. 16 “Woe to you, blind guides! You say, ‘If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gold of the temple is bound by that oath.’ 17 You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes the gold sacred? 18 You also say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gift on the altar is bound by that oath.’ 19 You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred? 20 Therefore, anyone who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it. 21 And anyone who swears by the temple swears by it and by the one who dwells in it. 22 And anyone who swears by heaven swears by God’s throne and by the one who sits on it. 23 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. 24 You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel. Note: Some translations will even say "scribes and Pharisees" rather than "teachers of the Law and Pharisees." The King James, for example, says: 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. A scribe was also a teacher of the law. More modern translations clarify that aspect of the culture we no longer have. It isn't the pen, it is the oral additions. |

true2god:honestly i can cope with your shalow minded reasoning, you quoting obasanjo will only be accepted when you give a generally accepted source, so whats the proof that jesus really made that statement. Lol, the quran was written on spot before the death of the muhammad(s.a.w) @bolded: did john actually wrote the book john? this is an unanswered question. paul in a verse said he thinks(not sure) that he has the spirit in him, yet in another verse he says all the scriptures are God's breathed, isnt this funny?? the bible was edited because of "GRAVE" just like king james preface says. |
Re: Jehovah Witness! After Admitting This, Why Do You Still Claim Jesus Isn't God? by Nobody: 3:21pm On Aug 17, 2015 |
@malvisguy212 sorry that doesnt prove that the scribes did not peddle in words, since the scribes are the copiers and also teachers, isnt it possible that the words they changed were taught to people and is still in the bible? whats your view on this? |

true2god: Okay, proverb 8:22 is talking about literal wisdom , hmm God didnt have wisdom until he made wisdom for himself abi ? Prov 8:22 Since he made literal wisdom , it means There was a time god dont hav wisdom . When you grow up from dis delusion, we will discuss |
Re: Jehovah Witness! After Admitting This, Why Do You Still Claim Jesus Isn't God? by johnw74: 1:35am On Aug 18, 2015 |
Jozzy4: @red, it's right there bolded and underlined and you can't see it The LORD possessed me the Word was with God No wonder you are bad mouthing everyone who says diffrently to you, you cannot see what is said, and you don't understand the scriptures For the second time Proverbs 8:22 say's the LORD "posessed me", because John 1:1 say's that "the Word was with God" it's another witness to "possessed" being the correct translation in Proverbs 8:22, it's very simple to see. "made" is an English word, it is not in the Septuagint, it's a word translated, the Hebrew text had the word "qanah" which can mean create, buy, own, possess, recover, redeem, and more depending where the word is used John 1:1 is just another witness showing that the word "possessed" is the correct word for proverbs 8:22 You can go back to sleep now. |
Re: Jehovah Witness! After Admitting This, Why Do You Still Claim Jesus Isn't God? by Jozzy4: 7:01am On Aug 18, 2015 |
johnw74:WHATEVER you posess is your property , Jesus is therefore a property of God . God owns him . Good meanwhile , proverb 8:24 declares that "he was brought forth " or " given birth to" (chul) , tell us: how was he given birth to ? Bcoz u cant give birth to something you already possess .
Just as you confess that " qanah" means CREATE , @Proverb 8:22 Septuagint declares Jesus as " kitzo " meaning "CREATE OR MAKE . Beautiful. |
Re: Jehovah Witness! After Admitting This, Why Do You Still Claim Jesus Isn't God? by johnw74: 9:15am On Aug 18, 2015 |
Jozzy4: Don't change what I'm saying, you don't believe John 1:1, have the courage to say so "the Word was with God" does not mean "the Word was created by God" and so the proper translation of Proverbs 8:22 is "the LORD possessed me" Just as you confess that " qanah" means CREATE , I also said it means buy, own, possess, recover, redeem, but if being shifty makes you feel you are right then stay with that spirit @Proverb 8:22 Septuagint declares Jesus as " kitzo " meaning "CREATE OR MAKE . The Septuagint is a Greek translation of the old testament from the Hebrew which word is "qanah" but continue in finding wrong translations that suit your doctrines. |
Re: Jehovah Witness! After Admitting This, Why Do You Still Claim Jesus Isn't God? by Jozzy4: 9:22am On Aug 18, 2015 |
You cant deny it that the Septuagint said "kitzo CREATE" ; brother , so Septuagint that Jesus himself quote from is a wrong translation ? Na wah o . |
Re: Jehovah Witness! After Admitting This, Why Do You Still Claim Jesus Isn't God? by johnw74: 10:17am On Aug 18, 2015 |
Jozzy4: Once again Septuagint comes from the Hebrew, but you keep on finding wrong translations to suit your doctrines, Jesus never quoted any wrong translation like the Septuagint Proverbs 8:22 Try and see things clearly, the whole Septuagint is not a wrong translation, the verse discussed is a wrong translation. If you believe Jesus is God in the flesh you can call me brother, otherwise I'm not your brother, I'm a Christian. |
Re: Jehovah Witness! After Admitting This, Why Do You Still Claim Jesus Isn't God? by Jozzy4: 10:43am On Aug 18, 2015 |
johnw74: Wow , Septuagint is wrong translation wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow Septuagint : a translation used in Jesus Era Jesus choose septuagint translation over the traditional hebrew translation ( a case study of LXX matthew 21:16 ) . When you grow up from this delusion , we will discuss . Meanwhile , my question remain : can you give birth to something you already possessed ? Proverb 8:24 . When you sincerely answer that question we will see which translation is correct . |

Jozzy4: The Bible told me when it says Jesus is an ETERNAL LIFE or can't it be created? Proverb 8:22 " The LORD Made me (Jesus) as the beginning of his way, the earliest of HIS ACHIEVEMENT" Like I explained to one of your brother sometimes ago, if you read the account of that Prov 8 very well you will find out that it totally refutes JWs. I don't have time to go into this now but let me just make emphasis on these. From verse 26-29 will see WISDOM (the Me in verse 22) talking about the creation. Verse 26-While as yet HE had not.... Verse 27-When HE prepared the earth... Verse 28-When HE established... Verse 29-When HE assigned... Who is the HE in those verses? The above nullified the teaching that God first created Jesus before He used Jesus to create other things as we can see it here that the ME said the HE did everything. so jesus dwell in unapprochable light when he was on earth, abi? tell me when he start dwelling in unaprochable light, lets see if its not after his ascension to heaven ? Was the life of Jesus started on earth? Was Stephen when being stoned to death saw Jesus before His ascension to heaven? Like as you purposely twist that scripture to suit your claim which never comes to your fable mind that people still see Jesus after His ascension. |

Emusan:The JW people are not the ones that wrote the septuagint , are they ? 1st century Greek LXX said Jesus is qanah = "kitzo Created " Prov 8:22 , do u agree ?

The spirit in Jozzy4, and it's definately not the Holy Spirit, but the spirit of lies and bad natured false accusations toward Christians: Jozzy4 Joh 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. |
Re: Jehovah Witness! After Admitting This, Why Do You Still Claim Jesus Isn't God? by johnw74: 1:13am On Aug 19, 2015 |
Jozzy4: I asked you if you believe that Jesus Christ is God in the flesh, a believer would jump at the chance to say YES I do, your non answer shows that you do not believe that Jesus Christ is God in the flesh, you are not a Christian, you are an unbeliever. Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. I'm sure you don't believe those verses but they clearly state that , verse 1 the Word God, verse 14 became flesh. jw change their bible to say, verse 1 the Word was a god however the Greek word for God in "the Word was with God" is "theos" which jw leave correctly as "God" but in "the Word was God" which is also "theos" jw change to "a god", a very evil thing to do. Rev 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: Rev 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. Those verses do not just apply to the book of Revelation, but to the whole Bible. Deu 12:32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it. Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God (theos), and the Word was God (theos) The Word was with God, and the Word was God, jw lie and change their bible to say, the Word was with God and the Word was a god. |
