TATIME:

NON DENOMINATIONAL therefore can't figure out why thousands of different religious groups having contradicting doctrines and conflicting teachings are all claiming Christians.
And at the same time you're claiming to be a follower of Christ who's disciples were known for oneness in thoughts! 1Corinthians 1:10, Philippians 2:2
So you're worshipping "anywhere~belle~face" and it's just the only group claiming oneness of thought that's worshipping the devil!
Truthfully speaking my friend,you're a BORN AGAINST Christian walahi! cheesy cheesy cheesy

tat, you false jw's are not only against christianity, but are against the Lord Jesus Christ Himself,
calling the Creator of all that exists "a god", calling the Saviour of the world "a god"

but God has allowed your god of this world satan to blind you, because of your disbelief
and doesn't it show

2Co_4:4  In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

Instead of humbly asking those who can help you to know where you're heading, you're stubbornly arguing blindly against the truth. You can't choose one out of all those numerous religious groups with contradicting doctrines and conflicting teachings. Why? Because you believe that your god is mystery!
But honesthearted individuals,humbly studying the Bible with JWs are already aware that the true God is not mysterious otherwise how can you say you want to teach someone else about a mystery.
Well for your information, the mysterious god has been made known by Jesus in the Bible book of Revelations and Jesus clearly said to His own people "run away from mystery" Revelations 17:5,18:4
Jehovah's Witnesses are zealously preaching and teaching people about a God whose ways are clear to all those who are willing to humble themselves, that's why we are boldly and confidently knocking on people's doors. Romans 10:13-15

If we were to stay away-then who will preach the Gospel-Jesus said: go out unto the nations and preach His Word, Artiest dressed up in JW's clothing are still people that need God..
We all know as Christians the world is full of demonic activity, and those that love the world more then Christ don't belong to God, 'we come up against principalities everyday, we step out to be rejected, why? "Because we believe, "our own brothers and sisters in Christ turn against us.
Jesus warn's us, "son's against parents, friends and family against each other-these will hand you over to the Judge to be slaughtered. "Jesus said: those who love the world more then He, is not worthy to be His disciple, are you with us spreading the gospel-all you are against us?

Wetin do your brain?
Jesus Christ the saviour said "I am God's son". Christ confessed that Yahweh called His sons "gods". Therefore, Christ Jesus is a god. John 10:34-36. Ps 82:6. Acts 3:13.

Let me break down again:
The Lion is the Father of a Lion (the son).
Likewise, the God (Yahweh) is the Father of a god (the Word).
John 1:1a has definite article (the Word).
John 1:1b has definite article too ("the Word was with the God"wink.
John 1:1c has NO definite article but ( "and.." )
The big question : Is. " a god" an accurate rendition of John 1:1c
?

The Greek manuscript holds the key to the answer.
Let's see...
John 1:1c is similar to Acts 12:22 and Acts 28:6.
The Greek manuscript rendition reads..
John 1:1c - and god was the word
Acts12:22 - they shouted, this is the voice of
god
Acts28:6- they changed their minds and said he was god..

The Greek language has definite article ("the"wink but has no indefinite article ("a"wink.

If U check carefully,John 1:1c ("and god..",) Acts 12:22("of god"wink and Acts 28:6(was god"wink ,in all these verses, there is no definite article ("the"wink that comes before the word "god"

However, the rules of Greek grammatical construct justifies the insertion of indefinite article ("a"wink
to give clarity , precise meaning & understanding of the texts,passage or sentence.

As a result, the 2nd century translation of the Gospel of John into Coptic, the Sahidic Coptic Bible rendition of John 1:1 is very authentic:
" In the beginning existed the word, and the word existed with the God and a god was the word"

Therefore Acts 12:22, reads. "voice of a god". , Acts 28:6 reads " he was a god".
U would observe that the English Bible's rendition of these verses stuck with the rules of Greek grammatical construct.
To query & fault the insertion of indefinite article ("a god"wink in John 1:1c while U justify it &see nothing wrong with it in Acts12:22 & Acts 28:6, that makes U a hypocrite..

BTW, Christ never explicitly said he is Yahweh, rather, his words were distorted coupled with several notable forgeries (Rev1:11, 1 John 5:7, 1 Tim 3:16 etc) to perpetuate a false doctrine.
His 1st century followers did not teach or believed in your mumu doctrine (Acts 3:13. Matt 16:13-17. 1 cor 11:3. John 20:30,31).
Where ever an existing rule is discarded, bent or swept aside, fraud, forgery and corruption is inevitable.
That is what the popular rendition of John 1:1c stands for.

The rendition U pasted above is not strictly accurate.
To start with: the Greek words were lower case. In English "God" is different from "god"

Source :John 1:1 Wikipedia
The Greek to English word for word transliteration of John 1:1 reads:
"in beginning was the word,
and the word was with (toward, facing) the god
and god was the word"

In 13 different Bibles, John 1:1c reads:
" and a god was the word" "(or was divine)."
These Bibles with the accurate rendition of John 1:1, (including the 2nd century Sahidic Coptic Bible were not published by JWs. )

U no even know say before your cherished & forged KJV came out in the 16th century, the Sahidic Coptic Bible's authentic rendition of John 1:1 had already been widely known. Lol

christians are not confused about small or capital letters or bad translations like the nwt

{Romans 10:13-14} How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!”
I am not the only person that have had these experiences 'you come in sheep's clothing, claiming to bring Christ, but your heart is far from Christ 'you never preach Christ, Jehovah's name is always preached alone!
"Romans above is focused on the Word of God-you don't bring the Word of God to me, because you don't know the Word of God, you come into my home bringing with you 'Watchtower's literature, a cartoon magazine, and a closed bible-you sit-you don't drink water, not coffee, nor tea, not even a lemonade from anybody outside your denomination.
'And yet you sit in my home expecting me to be persuaded by your good works, while you refuse my hospitality, nor will you accept any bible verses from another without raising your voices, demanding silents, while you preach your Watchtower literature from across the table-I have watch the JW's time and time again pushing their fingers down hard against their bibles, from one verse to another-arguing in my home trying to push their literature into my soul: this is the Love of Jehovah, you had always brought into my home..
I remember back in the day's-while growing up, I had JW's living next door to me-their parents would separate their Children away from those outside their denomination, I would hear their Children crying out-they were begging their parents to play with other Children!
But because of the Watchtower rules and regulations they kept their Children in a prison type lifestyle, I remember they had a daughter, she was caste out from among them, the Watchtower forced the parents to reject their own flesh and blood, she was castrated from the only family she had.
This is a sure way how to recognise between cults and God!
The Lord say's the truth sets us free, but anybody wanting to join the Watchtower 'Cults are prisons, and indeed you are not free....
I have JW's come to my door-time and time again, I am usually black listed, I remember along time ago, a JW came to my door, after a sort conversation, the JW asked if he could come back again this time with elders, I agreed upon a certain date, Just in genial people would tell me the in's and out's about the Watchtower, nothing good was ever said: about them, I thought this will be a good challenge, I ended up speaking with two X JW's I knew, to join with me in this arranged conversation with the JW's.
The JW brought three other elders, "4" we had 2 X JW's who knew the in's and out's about the Watchtower literature, also they were equip in the Word of God, from across the table verses were flying in all directions, bibles of the NWT and the KJ's, were the main attractions, after sometime we came to a stop-the point is, no one was beaten, because the Word of God can't be beaten, everybody in my home that day agreed that the Word of God is all truth and nothing but the truth.
The elders came to that acceptance, and they left quietly and peacefully, because we all agreed the bible is God's Word-and everything in the bible is focused on the true God "Jesus Christ!
It's your choice to make it right, I wouldn't like to miss the only opportunity I have, just for someone else's sake..
TATIME:
Instead of humbly asking those who can help you to know where you're heading, you're stubbornly arguing blindly against the truth. You can't choose one out of all those numerous religious groups with contradicting doctrines and conflicting teachings. Why? Because you believe that your god is mystery!
But honesthearted individuals,humbly studying the Bible with JWs are already aware that the true God is not mysterious otherwise how can you say you want to teach someone else about a mystery.
Well for your information, the mysterious god has been made known by Jesus in the Bible book of Revelations and Jesus clearly said to His own people "run away from mystery" Revelations 17:5,18:4
Jehovah's Witnesses are zealously preaching and teaching people about a God whose ways are clear to all those who are willing to humble themselves, that's why we are boldly and confidently knocking on people's doors. Romans 10:13-15

The phrase "the Word" (a translation of the Greek word "Logos"wink is widely interpreted as referring to Jesus, you can try to pick and choose, but the truth is "Jesus!
OneJ:


The rendition U pasted above is not strictly accurate.
To start with: the Greek words were lower case. In English "God" is different from "god"

Source :John 1:1 Wikipedia
The Greek to English word for word transliteration of John 1:1 reads:
"in beginning was the word,
and the word was with (toward, facing) the god
and god was the word"

In 13 different Bibles, John 1:1c reads:
" and a god was the word" "(or was divine)."
These Bibles with the accurate rendition of John 1:1, (including the 2nd century Sahidic Coptic Bible were not published by JWs. )

U no even know say before your cherished & forged KJV came out in the 16th century, the Sahidic Coptic Bible's authentic rendition of John 1:1 had already been widely known. Lol

@bold, oh duh onej, "god" where used for the Father is small "g" also,
are you now saying God-Father is "a god"

christians are not confused about small or capital letters or bad translations like the nwt
we can see the truth of any matter from other verses which say or show the same thing
and there are very many bible verses showing that the Word-Jesus Christ is God Yahweh

there is still many i haven't posted yet, but false jw's don't ask to see them,
and i have offered a couple of times, smiley

also the exact same greek word for God(theos), was used for "God" and the "Word":

Joh 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God(theos), and the Word was God(theos).


Mumu post.

The Bible was translated from koine Greek to English. The Greek word 'theos ' stands for god or goddess, a deity (lowercase).
The Greek manuscript does not use "God", as done by your dubious KJV in John 1:1, and "a god "in Acts 12:22 . Acts28:6.

The koine Greek rendition of John 1:1 solely based on Greek grammatical rules should determine what's the proper rendition in English.

The adulterated English versions U cherish so much & bandied about is no match for the authentic Sahidic Coptic Bible or NWT rendition of John 1:1.

The truth about the Watchtower!
I remember the day's when I was a youngster, we had JW's living next door with 3 Children, two boys and a girl she was a little older then her brothers-every time we had asked them to join us and play, their parents wouldn't allow them to play with other Children outside their denomination, I would hear the two boys crying out at night, they wanted to be normal boys, they wanted to be like other Children.
Children will be Children-I remember the day's when I had heard their cries, not being religious I would retaliate, I would buy fire crackers, and sky rockets, and set them off straight up the isle of kingdom hall, I would aim the sky rockets, straight through the middle of the isle, and watch everybody duck while sparks go in all directions" laughing so much I couldn't run away!
The JW's next door were in a Prison system' because of Watchtower rules and regulations.
I also remember their only daughter needed to escape from this coltish imprisonment, she would cry out-knowing she didn't have a voice, without a choice she'd escaped from her parents, it didn't matter how much she loved her family, the watchtower had her parents under lock and key.
The daughter was still young and she was forced to leave, to defend for herself she was castrated from her family' with no return, this is a heavy penalty to pay-for someone who is so pure and innocent in the eye's of the Lord.
I really can't understand how any parent would turn their own flesh and blood away because of disbelief-let alone watch your own flesh and blood die before you, because you are told you couldn't give to someone so dearly to you, the things that is needed to save their lives.
I wouldn't want to be with a god' that same god that hates his people like your Watchtower god does. {John 8:44}
I have met so many broken families who have lost their Children, husbands and wife's, they were castrated from their families for eternity, If anybody is about to join, be aware-and prepare yourselves to live your lives destroying each other, casting your love ones out, watching them die is a murderess enactment..
Does anybody know Jesus Christ 'He sets us free! He is a loving God-He prefers to keep us together, not separate us..
JW's are crooked sales person, selling broken promises-Joining the Watchtower is giving your blood signature to the devil!
You made a contract, this means, you loose everything, when you die-your family won't receive your inheritance, everything you earned, everything you own belongs to the Watchtower, your Children receives nothing-your grand children your parent receives nothing, your homes, your lands, your bank accounts belongs to the Watchtower.."Everything"

confused false jw onej, theos for Father God in john 1:1 means God
now you can put your small and capital letters wherever you want
but the same word theos for the Word of course means God, not a god
if john wanted them to be diffrent he would have used diffrent words
not to mention all the scriptures showing that the Word-Jesus Christ is God

but keep lying onej that's something you false jw's do know

it does oh blinded false jw onej:

Joh 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God(theos), and the Word was God(theos).

God is God, the word is God

not "a god" antichrist onej


hater of truth onej
you make, with God(theos) to mean God
but then you change was God(theos) to mean "a god"

when so many other scriptures support john 1:1 also that the Word-Jesus Christ is God-YAHWEH

but remain blinded:
2Co_4:4  In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

Jesus is God-YAHWEH

YAHWEH
Psa 102:25 Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.

Jesus
Heb 1:10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:


....


YAHWEH
Isa 45:23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.

Jesus
Php 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
Php 2:11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.


....


YAHWEH
Deu 10:17 For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:

Jesus
Rev 17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

Incidentally, see at Deut 17:14 God is referred to as a mighty God, and we know that God is also referred to as Almighty God, they are not two gods, a mighty god and an almighty God as false jw say.


....


YAHWEH
Isa 44:6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.

Jesus
Joh 1:49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.

Rev 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
Rev 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.


....



YAHWEH
Psa 130:7 Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.
Psa 130:8 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

Jesus
Tit 2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.


....


YAHWEH
Zec 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.

Jesus
Rev 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

YAHWEH-Jesus was pierced


....


YAHWEH
Joe 2:32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.

Jesus
Rom 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

onej TATIME haywizzy007

scriptures tell us that God is the True God, jer 10:10
so if "a god" is not the true God, then "a god" is a false God

and so you false jw's make the Word-Jesus Christ to be a false god

according to your false jw's false beliefs:
all that was created by the Word, john 1:3, was created by a false god,
and the saviour of the world Jesus christ, john 4:42, is a false god


but then your false jw's teachings are from your father the devil:

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.

when you speak lies you are just speaking naturally, like your daddy

If we were to stay away-then who will preach the Gospel-Jesus said: go out unto the nations and preach His Word, Artiest dressed up in JW's clothing are still people that need God..
We all know as Christians the world is full of demonic activity, and those that love the world more then Christ don't belong to God, 'we come up against principalities everyday, we step out to be rejected, why? "Because we believe, "our own brothers and sisters in Christ turn against us.
Jesus warn's us, "son's against parents, friends and family against each other-these will hand you over to the Judge to be slaughtered. "Jesus said: those who love the world more then He, is not worthy to be His disciple, are you with us spreading the gospel-all you are against us?

Now do you understand-look what you had written above in red! There is no difference between a JW or a atheist, they both need God..
We need the positives, not the negatives! 'you need to realise we all need God, and you need to understand we don't go to the JW's, the JW's come to us.
New baby Christians are born everyday, why? God sends His army of mature Christians around their lives..
So if you are feeling mature then join us, your input, and our input could make a difference...
