Jesus is not mighty God but he is actually a god.
Jesus is not God yet he allows people to calling the God.
God the Father says there's no God besides but John 1:1 disagrees cuz u say a god.
God the Father says he is the 1st and last but jesus a mere man(according to u) says the same.
Bro , the issue is on "almighty god", not "mighty god" or "god" or titles.
The bible let's us know there are many gods and many lords. But are there many "almighty gods" as you are trying to insinuate?

Mere Humans are not called mighty God!

Humans are not uncreated.


All ANGELS are created beings !!! cheesy

Jesus is also created ! Jesus said he is " the beginning of the creation by God " Rev 3:14 .


Humans are not called the Lord of sabbath.
Humans do not called themselves the 1st and last.
Humans definitely don't call themselves the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob etc.

Jesus is not the God of Abraham , Isaac And Jacob . HE HIS A SERVANT to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob

" The God of Abraham , Isaac and of Jacob , the God of our forefathers has glorified his Servant , Jesus " - Act 3:13

1st context determines how a verse should be translated from one language to another.

2nd if "a god" is right (which it is not) it directly contradictions (Isaiah 45:5) where God says there are no gods beside him.

3rd - No Greek new testament scholars agree with JW translations.

4th if jesus was a god, he should have corrected Thomas for saying he is " the God of me", he should have said to Thomas I'm not the God I'm a god.


The original greek doesnt differentiate God from god , like english language . Do you still need to be taught this ?


The greek word is " theos" , if "a god" is wrong , why is Act 28:6 rendered a god with refernce to paul ? Note: Theos is theos .

Wrong the bible says there's only 1 God, beside this 1 God there are no other gods, the other gods are false gods.

I know the original Greek has no God nd god. The only reason we capitalized the G in god is to indicate the true God Is being spoke of.

Context determines how we translate from 1 language to another language.

It's translated as a god CUZ IT'S REFERENCE TO PAUL.

IF THE THEOS (WITHOUT THE ARTICLE) WAS SPEAKING ABOUT THE FATHER SHOULD WE ALSO TRANSLATE IT AS A GOD.

As a matter of fact why don't we translate John 1-18 "a god" everywhere theos occurs without the article.

Should christians translate the bible like that ignoring context completely?

Bro, read psalms 82:6, john 10:34
And 1 cor 8:5.

There are no other gods that we should worship. There are no other god that can save us.
That someone or something is a false god does not mean he is not a god .
The scripture calls Satan the god of these system of things. Is Satan a false god? Yes, but he is still the god of these system of things. Or does Satan being a false god not make him a god?

Now who is the "true god" ? Who did jesus call "the only true god" ?
Is that person that jesus called the "only true god " jesus? .
If that person is not jesus, why do you then believe that jesus is the true god when jesus himself has said another person is the only true god.?

You are deliberately refusing to explain the points you said trinity can explain. Tell us how trinity explains those points one by one.

that's not the point, the point is u said theos should be translated as "a god " ( if there is no definite article, I'm assuming u JW).

So if that were true then from John 1:2 till John 1:18 must be translated as "a god " cuz the definite article does not appear in John 1:2,3,7,18 where theos occurs

And if u tell me it's not so cuz of the context, then I don't no why u asking me why paul is translated as a god nd not God

Why is the father giving his glory to a another when he said he gives his glory to no another!

1. Mere man never said those words
2 first and the last of what? Is first and the last a title, name or position that can only be held or called by only one person like the almighty god.?
3. A mere angel never said he is god of abraham ,Isaac, Jacob .
The scriptures helps to explain that that angel has the name of god on him. The scripture helps to explain that he is a servant of god.

4 where did you see the father give his glory to another. ?

Angel- "I am the God of Bethel (anoki ha El bethel), where you anointed a pillar and made a vow to me"

I never said such nor implied such. If such where true, then all mention of "theos" should have been translated as "a god". But as this is not so , then it means ur assumptions are false.
I was following ur explanation and used ur explanation on context and "the father" to determine where "theos" should be translated as "god " or "a god" .

So if that were true then from John 1:2 till John 1:18 must be translated as "a god " cuz the definite article does not appear in John 1:2,3,7,18 where theos occurs

Wer is this big difference


If jesus was just a creation he should not have said he is the 1st and last in the 1st place.

Isaiah 44:6—Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts: “I am the first and I am the last, and there is no God besides Me.

Isaiah 48:12 "Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel, whom I called! I am he; I am the first, and I am the last.

Revelation 1:8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty
.

Revelation 1:17-18 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, “Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades.”

Jesus is the servant of the God of Abraham , Isaac And Jacob ( Act 3:13)

Jesus became a servant.

"Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross." Philippians 2:5-8

Give his glory ? Show me that from the bible .

[b]Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory which I had with you before the world was made.” [/b]John 17:5

Why don't u all start teaching u the God of abraham, Isaac if that's not blasphemy according to u.

Cuz God clearly says he gives his glory to no other.

Had means he returning the glory which he shared with jesus!
