solite3:Argument from authority An argument from authority (Latin : argumentum ad verecundiam ), also called an appeal to authority , is a common type of argument which can be fallacious , such as when an authority is cited on a topic outside their area of expertise or when the authority cited is not a true expert. |

achorladey:satan is a deceptive spirit who makes you think he is working for humanity but he is a liar, he came to steal to kill and to destroy. Jw organisation are serving satan's agenda by spreading false messages about Jesus,God and the holy Spirit. The message of christ is pure it is about the cross of the christ and his power. Jws organisation makes people to turn their back on their saviour thinking he is just a good man or angel. They love to attack the identity of christ because if people realize who christ is they will turn to him as thomas finally realize who Jesus his. That organisation is down right satanic and anti christian look at their hate towards christendom. Manipulating and adding to the scriptures are among their vice. Well, christians knows about the many device of the devil. 1 Like |

More facts you should about false jw Are Jehovah Witnesses Christian? By David J. Stewart NO!!!!! The Jehovah's Witnesses (JW's) go door-to-door, want you to do “book” studies with them, and teach doctrines not in line with the Bible. They are persistent and well trained by the Watchtower Organization based in New York city. Are the Jehovah's Witnesses Christian? No, not any any sense of the term. JW's deny several fundamental doctrines of the Bible, including the Godhead, the deity of Jesus Christ, the bodily resurrection of Christ, His bodily return, the Millennial reign of Christ, the Holy Spirit, et cetera. JW's deny a literal Hell and teach that hell (Sheol in the Old Testament) merely refers to the grave. However, Psalm 9:17 plainly states that the wicked shall be turned into Hell. If the righteous and the wicked go to the same place, then Psalm 9:17 would make no sense at all. Clearly, the righteous and the wicked go to different places upon death. JW's teach that Michael the archangel became Jesus. They try to steer away from this doctrine because it is one of the topics that can be used to show prospective JW's the fallacy of their religion. Most people have a problem with the idea that Michael and Jesus are the same person, and rightfully so, because it is a lie of the Devil. JW's teach that Jesus is “a god,” but not almighty God. Jesus plainly claimed in Revelation 1:8 to be “the almighty.” John 10:33 evidences that Jesus taught men that He is God. By the way, I only use the trustworthy King James Bible. JW founder, Charles Taze Russell, wrote his own corrupt Bible titled, the New World Translation. How more obvious could it be that the JW religion was created as part of the New World Order's exploitation of religion to lead the masses into a one-world religion and global government?

solite3: Yes, Thomas called Jesus: "my Lord" and "my God" and Jesus affirmed it to Thomas saying: "because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed" Jesus has shown many times in the NT that He is God, the blinded of course cannot see it. Joh 20:28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. Joh 20:29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. 1 Like |

brocab:I've said I will handle the scriptures you feel are omitted, removed or altered one by one, I've checked Matthew 17:21, it has been discovered that it's the key that's at fault. I've given you what is said about that verse while you have not been able to give any explanation in defence of the kjv. If you have no evidence to present concerning Matthew 17:21 , but still feel their are other verses you have issues with, plus present one of them ,we will be handling them one by one. so I will wait if you will put up another verse to claim it's been omitted. but you never looked it up out from the KJV bible-and yet when it comes to Jehovah's name you agree fully that the KJ's hold the secrets to God's name.haha, I know it pains you that you can find the name of God in your bible, but there is nothing you can do about it, you can refuse to quote that verse , but it is there. moreover, whichever translation I use, as long as it exposes your false beliefs, you will have issues with it, you are now finding fault in my use of the kjv to expose you. You check the KJ's for an argument every time you feel you need to prove a statement, but not this time-the KJ's doesn't even receive a mention.yes, because in this case, the kjv did not translate correctly(read the prove given by the scholars) The 1611 bible was copied first, and the JW's had the KJ's bible printing on their pressers. And now you are denying the KJ's holds the truth. Another hypocritical statement.where was the 1611 bible copied from?. One good thing about how Christians handle knowledge is that if their find some things to be false , they leave it!, more and more translators and scholars are finding out that the kjv contain some false translations, or contain additions made by scribes who copied the manuscripts. The new century version {Matthew 17:21} as clear as it say's. Some of the others bible's you have mention, I can't seem to trace them down. God's Word?Google is your friend Bart D. Ehrman was a Christian for at least 15 years, and return himself back into a atheist, so you are picking up your information from a atheist who thinks he knows the truth.1. support your statement with prove 2. You don't need to be a christian to examine the authenticity of certain manuscripts , he might not have faith in what it says, that does not mean he cannot spot a false addition. I might not know french, but I surely know if a word is written in blue or red ink! he has checked the older manuscripts and came to the same conclusion other Christians (some who believe in trinity have) Well done good and faithful servant.thank you. This is why people in genial read the KJ's bible because it holds all truth..you have a right to say so, you have a right not to believe the truth supported with facts. Satan came here to kill, steal and destroy, please continual, because with all the other junk you have written, proves, your not someone who actually believes in the bible, because you receive your information from non believing atheist..Brocab, when one person or group of persons bring a translation out and claim it's accurate, and another person or group brings another translation out ,also claiming it's accurate. You look at the two translations and you find that in some verses, what is written is totally different, what should a sensible person who searches for the truth, blindly believe one over the other or try and search for which one is accurate and which one is false. I do not believe everything this scholars says, but I do try to look deeper into their conclusions to arrive at my own conclusion. If you feel that what one of them says is false simply because he is not a christian, then it shows how deep your refusal to accept truth is. I believe you are educated, do you disagree with what you are taught simply because the teacher does not believe in what he or she is teaching you? moreover, I quoted more than one scholar, who hold the same view, are all of them atheist! 1 Like |

brocab:1. There is no "if" there, even you cannot suggest that God sent himself. The scriptures are clear on who God sent. The prophecies say God sent his servant, not himself . God was indicating and talking about someone else, not himself. pls read this verses and tell me if you think God was talking about himself as the one sent. King James Version Isa 42:1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. Isa 42:2 He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. King James Version Isa 42:6I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, [/u]and will hold thine hand,[/u] and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; Isa 42:7To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house. King James Version Isa 52:13 Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high. brocab, look at those verses and yell me if God was talking about himself. King James Version Joh 17:3And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. King James Version 1Jo 4:10Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. jesus says he was sent by God, God says his son jesus, jesus tells us that the one who sent him is his father. You read all this and you could still ask if God sent himself? wow! And why does {Isaiah 9:6} Say's. For unto us a child is born, Unto us a Son is given, And the Government will be upon His shoulder, and His name will be called, Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, prince of peace.. brocab, calling someone immanual or someone bearing the that does not mean that person is God.

[quote author=solite3 post=51343361][/quote] (go and learn how to quote) you could not bring any scripture in any translation that says : 1. jesus is jehovah 2. jesus is almighty God 3. jesus and the father are one God almighty. You mentioned Rev 1 : 18, it says : King James Version Re 1:18I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. the verse did not say jesus is almighty God(no wonder you could not quote it). jesus says he was dead, SOLITE3 ALMIGHTY GOD CANNOT DIE! Hab 1:12 Are you not from everlasting, O Jehovah? O my God, my Holy One, you do not die. O Jehovah, you appointed them to execute judgment; My Rock, you established them for punishment. if Satan is not a god, plus tell us who is the god of this world? you have abandoned your lion analogy, no verse says jesus is the only true son of God, stop fomulating things!. we all know that jesus has brothers who are sons of God, we all know that apart from jesus, there are other sons of God, your analogies keep falling by the wayside . 1 Like |

brocab: Then I will ask you a simple question. Who ressurrected Jesus from death,his dead self? Then that will be contrary to Ecl 5:9-10 which says the dead are concious of nothing. Jesus at the time he died knew nothing,which is why he prayed to his father before dying with these words"glorify me alongside with the glory I had before". It simply means ressurrect me and bring me to my heavenly position. And he also said"father to you I hand my spirit". He is not calling no one father is he? Or handling his spirit to himself? 1 Like |
