This is what i believe.

1 Timothy 3:16 " And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh,
justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached
unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world,
received up into glory."

I don't see the Father the way trinity defines Him. But i know God is the Father, who has revealed Himself in bodily form in these last days.

Great. That is Jesus you talked about, the Everlasting Father. The King of kings, Lord of lords, Prince of Peace. His names is too numerous.

Lot of Gods .

Angels Are Gods

Humans Are Gods .

Why dont you add them to your dogma, thats billionity or millionity ? Instead of just 3 Tri Gods .

You need to be confused the more.

Do you Know that all the children of God on earth were given birth to by the Holy Spirit?

You will always misquote people like satan would do.

I never said that that two Gods prayed to each other.
I told you that Jesus, God, prayed to the Father God. I never said the Father Prayed to Jesus.

Again, I said by the words of Jesus, I and the Father are one". It means if Jesus is God and the Father is God, and both of them are one, then they are one God.

Why am I re-explaining. You should be thinking on how we born of the Holy Spirit

Jesus is the Father that father of old in bodily form.

Equivalent to saying God became a part of His creation through Jesus Christ.

@bolded since God is the father that revealed himself in bodily form, why then did he pray to another father?

Jesus prayed as a man to the God/Deity in Him.

Daniel 7:13-14
"I kept looking in the night visions, And
behold, with the clouds of heaven One
like a SON OF MAN was coming, And He
came up to the Ancient of Days And was
presented before Him. "And to Him was
given dominion, Glory and a kingdom,
That all the peoples, nations, and men of every language Might SERVE HIM. His
dominion is an everlasting dominion
Which will not pass away; And His
kingdom is one Which will not be
destroyed.

Obviously, if the Son of Man were only
human, He would not be able to
establish an eternal kingdom. Likewise,
He would not be able to convince all
peoples to serve Him. Such abilities and
honors are reserved for God alone.
Jesus claimed to be the Son of Go
Off point! grin grin grin

Jozzy4:
John 1:1 , God was WITH God .

Seriously , That sounds like two Gods emphasis on " WITH" ; Can anyone clarify this ?

Jozzy4 has misquoted John 1:1
The Bible say's John 1:1 .... the Word was with God .... (which is two persons who are God, not two god's)
the verse goes on to say that the Word is God.

jw changes what the Bible say's to try and suit their false doctrines, although the penalty for doing that is great.

Deu 12:32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

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.



Look at changes Jehovah's Witnesses have made to the Bible

Just some
1. John 1:1 "Word was God" changed to "Word was a god."

The JWs reject the orthodox Christian belief in the deity of Jesus. The revision asserts that Jesus was someone other than God Himself.

2. Genesis 1:2 "Spirit of God" changed to "God's active force."

The revision modifies the original noun with a more impersonal form as the JWs reject the orthodox Christian belief in the personality of the Holy Spirit.

3. Exodus 3:14 "I am" changed to "I shall prove to be."

The revision clouds the connection between God's self proclaimed title and Jesus' proclamation of being the same in John 8:58, as the JW rejects the deity of Jesus.

4. Luke 23:43 'Today you will be with me" changed to "I tell you today, You will be with me."

Jesus assured the thief on the cross that their spirits would soon enter the spiritual/heavenly realm together. As the JWs reject the belief in the conscious survival of the human spirit after death, their revision suggests that "today" deals with the time of the statement rather than the relocation of their spirits.

5. John 1:12 "Believe" changed to "exercise faith."

The orthodox Christian doctrine of spiritual justification and rebirth before God by belief in Jesus is in conflict with the JW doctrine of salvation by works (i.e., obedience to their organization). The revision attempts to describe salvation as a continuous process rather than a radical encounter and transition (Same revision found in John 3:16, 18; 6:29; Rom. 4:3, 10:4, 9, 10.)

6. John 14:14 "IF YOU ask [me] anything in my name, I will do it."

"me" is omitted to deny the fact we pray to Jesus.

John 14:14 should also be mentioned. In the NWT this reads; "IF YOU ask anything in my name, I will do it." The Greek text in the KIT, however, has ME after ask, so that it should be translated; "If you ask ME anything in my name, I will do it." It is true that some later Greek manuscripts omitted this word, but most of the earlier ones include it, and most modern editions of the Greek NT include it. At the very least, the NWT ought to have mentioned this in a note!

Its not a lie , unless you want to tell me the Word is not God .

The Word is God , and (The Word ) God was WITH God .

" The Word God was WITH God" . God was with another God
( this second God is not the word, is he ?) Two Different Gods .






' we Write you things you can understand' 1cor 1:13
.

So what exactly is there that you dont understand ?


@ red,
As well as jw twisting the scriptures, they also ofcourse twist what people say as many point out

My sentence: "We know from scriptures that God is One, if we don't understand that we will at least believe it,"
Jozzy4 again twists and implies another meaning: "So what exactly is there that you dont understand ?"

With jw it's not about Truth, but about winning points in their own minds, and by any means, to make them feel better.

Re: God Was WITH God by Jozzy4: 6:49am On Aug 26, 2015
Scripture said " there is one God , THE FATHER" 1 Cor 8:6 , only the father .

But john 1:1 include another God into the scene , since this God is not the Father ; ITS ANOTHER GOD . Two Gods ; pure polytheism

Are you saying their is two Lords. One the Lord that you accept as the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and another Lord, Jesus Christ by whom all things were created.

And you have accepted the Lord is God and still want to oppose the spirit convincing you for repentance.

with what i bolded, i see no reason why xtians should refer to jesus as God, when he clearly said "our lord" meaning he is included. this is a clear cut statement from the lips of jesus himself. pls read the bible the way it is not how you were deluded(no offences) to read it.

Point of correction: bible translators deliberately replac the name YAHWEH with "LORD" in the hebrew scriptures , hence come your confusion.
Besides, It was the YAHWEH,God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob that "made Jesus Lord" oooo , guess u havnt read your bible to that extent .

Answer my question :

~ is Jesus the same person called God of Abraham , Isaac and Jacob ?

Try and read through my post in this thread and you would see were I said you can't question what you know. You would also discover the place I give the difference between the Father and "The Word" who is Jesus. I understand what I have said.

You advised me to read the Bible the way it is but you only want me to quote where Jesus said "I am Jesus and I am God"
This is the Scripture. "1Corinthians8:6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him." This confirm that everything that Exist was made possible by Jesus. It was not without the Father. For in the Creation, God said, Come let us make man in our Image. John 1 Confirm this.

Reading the scriptures for understanding would do you good rather than to proof your right. If I must advice, do the same with Quo'ran and you would discover things non of your teachers have told you.

Thank You for Noticing. For your Information, Jesus our Lord was reminding the people what was written in the Law when one asked Him which is the greatest Commandment. He reminded them of the Commandment in "Deuteronomy 6:4-6
4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord :
5 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:"

Is it an offence for me to remind you of what I have told you earlier.

thats not the point, he said "our lord" if i am reminding you of something that belongs to you alone, will i use "our"? nay! since he referred to God as both his lord and their lord, then why should you call jesus God?
