wow,Jesus stood up for him.. what position was Jesus in Revelation 22:1..
This is how you keep evading my questions. You are responding with another question. I asked When Stephen saw Jesus in the heaven, did he say that he saw Gods? How many persons did he see? What was the position of Jesus in heaven when Stephen saw him?

I will answer your question. Please answer mine above there. Revelation 22:1 ‘Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb’.

Jesus was described here as the lamb. Just as many other verses in the Bible referred to him as the lamb ‘OF’ God.
Literally, a lamb is the begotten product of a Ewe and a Ram. A lamb is still a fledgeling or not a full-blown adult sheep. A lamb cannot be the alpha male. A lamb is still in the custody of the sheep.
So, Jesus is called a lamb after he ascended to heaven coincides with what he said at John 20:17 that he has a God who is GREATER than he is. A God that mortal man cannot see but Jesus was seen even after he ascended to the heaven by a mortal man.

So answer my question

test and taste are now the same thing? Other versions use the word tempt there bruh..d greek word Peirazo here is still the same word used in matt4:1 and it was used about Satan in verse 3..so satan is a taster huh? He came to taste Jesus?
I asked you a question and you are twisting it. The Bible verse I added is only an allusion to the question that I asked you.
Temptation is different from Test, isn’t it?
Answer my question. If Jesus is God why then was he tempted?
Telling me the Greek word is an escape trick. Just answer me.

i have as a matter of fact but like d jews paul d apostle argued with for months, u are holding rather to ur tradition instead of d word... Even if u didn't take anything from this thread am sure u came to realize that Jesus was executed by the Roman government on the cross and that the name Jehova is just a conjoining of Yahweh and adonai..
lol so where did yahweh come from?

I am not forcing you to use it. It is actually your choice. But the bottom line is that If you refute the name and accept Jesus, you are a hypocrite. If you accept Yahweh believing that it was the original name, then you are 7 planets away from reality. The original name written by Jehovah is YHWH any other thing is a translation. The name of Jesus is Yehoshua or Yeshua and no one can categorically give the exact pronunciation. The word Jesus came to be centuries after Jehovah was established. But you chose one and refuted Jehovah claiming it was juxtaposed. How about Yahweh? You are dumbfounded to have discovered this, I am sure. You never thought of it. I do not think that you would ever brag about Yahweh again, ever. LOL.

Where did those vowels in Yahweh come from?

lol. D name Jehova to me is just like the name theos or any name used to describe the father in any language. Nothing sacred in the letters. U can as well call him Bari in d kalabari dialect

I did share about 5 other Bible versions for you to compare. It was absolutely off the line. You can scroll up and check it. Why would I lie about it? It is just for your interest so that you do not quote that verse in the future. You can also compare with the Greek word. It does not tally at all. There was an insertion.

on the contrary, u said lamb is the young of an ewe to mean dat since Jesus is the son, God is an ewe. There are animals used in the Bible such as dog, pig, serpent, lamb.. Dey have their meaning u do not find dat in English dictionary.

When Stephen saw Jesus in the heaven, did he say that he saw Gods? How many persons did he see? What was the position of Jesus in heaven when Stephen saw him?
Stephen told us He saw Jesus standing at the right hand of God, John saw him sitting on the throne. So why base ur assumption on only an event?

I have had this conversation with many people. They can only spot out Jehovah but they forget about their own yahweh. They never get any clue where that name comes from. They believed it because bloggers or gossipers asked them to. It is never factual.

So, if you cannot defend the name you have no iota of faith in it. Because if you do, you would stretch your finding to the origin. It all boils down to guesswork. Scholars said this and that. The bottom line is that no one is completely sure. What we have is YHWH and pronunciation matters. Not every tongue can sound Yahweh as you do. Your name sounds otherwise in many languages. And when transliterated, the sound will come out absolutely different but the meaning is retained. If you retain the sound, the meaning will be lost.

The name of Jehovah has gone beyond what you could ever imagine. You are wasting your time trying to kill that name

Some certain animals were also used to describe Jehovah in the Bible. His power his actions his love and wisdom.

The lamb has a huge symbolic connotation in the Bible. It is used for sacrifices or cleansing. It also used to identify obedient or chosen one(s). and the blood of the lamb was sprinkled on the Israelite doors as a sign of deliverance.
The lamb is innocent and free from any sins.

who is trying to kill any name? Wherever it has gone, the word of God still stands. It is just a translation and the way yehowah was arrived at is written down in different online sources.. Jehovah and oluwa are just the same

You should know the Greek word. It is right there in your Bible. ERV knows what they are doing. Believe me, that Bible version is misleading. It is not interdenominational. They insert some abstract words to enforce a particular belief. Imagine in less than 2 weeks of random usage, I have spotted some heretical texts. Think about it.
The word of God has power. Do you know that after all the manipulations and heretical insertions there are just many other verses that strike one's curiosity? no matter how much they changed their Bibles, the word of God still stands firm.

Doesn't it make it difficult for you to defend your doctrine seeing verses like John 20:17 1 Timothy 2:5 or John 17:3? I am sure that it must be exhausting for you. You keep evading questions and jiving like you stole something. I do not blame you because the power given to you is insufficient.
You should challenge your pastors and ask them for the truth. It is your prerogative to know the truth.

It took Freeze to cause these adjustments in many churches today. Some pastors have come out openly to confess that tithing is unscriptural for Christians. Not that they are not aware, they are.

The truth is that you will have to keep defending these doctrines over and over again and the kids are growing up to ask the same questions all over again. Everything is now easily accessible online and one can no longer conceal information like the medieval times. Changing the Bible or twisting it is heretic and evil. If not for the dead sea scrolls discovered in 1946, most people would be in darkness today as to where the name of God appears in the Bible. They hid the truth for ages. They knew it.

Imagine a whole Bible without the name of God. How possible? They replace everything with Lord but that is not how it was written for us. It has become a very rewarding task for Jehovah's Witnesses to teach people the truth about their creator, Jehovah.

Dig a little deeper you will see the heresy in that verse.

i give you answers tru scripture cos the Bible says no scripture is of private interpretation. Wat u do in ur WT is heretic. Scripture should be used to explain and understand scripture not ur mind or feelings or ur dictionary.

The word of God is clear. The followers of Christ are not going to be worshipped as gods, Nebuchadnezzar did not worship Daniel as a God, if you even read the following verse you will notice that he glorified God.

Jesus was worshipped as God. By humans and by Angels.
Why are your people afraid to put worship when in reference to Jesus in their bible? But put it when they refer to Satan, dragon, God etc


One of the dumbest posts ever seen .

worship now has levels, It can either be as God or not grin grin

Unknown to this con man, Nobody should be worshipped aside God . So Jesus followers or Daniel accepting worship automatically make them God !!!

Ur fellow jws last night tried so hard to deny dis but thanks for putting it straight. Jesus sits upon the throne of God and you say he isn't God shocked..

Jesus is King of kings and Lord of lords. The ruler of the whole universe. He is Almighty God.
