how does that affect his being God Almighty? It does not make sense, so also the fact that God has no beginning, does not make sense. Infact a lot of things do not make sense but yet they are true.

Jesus doesn't need to, because the holy Spirit knows the mind of God.

Paying fees for orphans is exactly what you need at this time. You have to give back what you threw away in the past. I cannot be your primary school teacher at this age. Milk is for babies not grown men. If I start teaching you things as simple as pronouns at this age, we will not finish. Tell me your level of education so that we can meet 50/50.

If you want, I will give you links to famous quotes and books so that you can read up and flow with the tides of time. If you do not pay you will keep taking things for granted. Go back to your elementary school books or get a refund from your English teacher if you do not know this.
Hairyrapunzel:


When did paying school fees for orphans become elementary? If it's so elementary pay and see what your organization will do to you.

Where is the list of abstract things or forces that are described by using "He" or "Her" or "she" or "Him"

Well I was talking about force you chose to use abstract things instead. I don't know when abstract things became forces. I am still waiting for the list
Re: Is Jesus God? by Nobody: 8:05am On Jan 13, 2018
I have never said that any Bible version is corrupted in its entirety. I have always been saying that some verses in some Bible versions are spurious. And for those verses that I mention, you will find and least 3-5 Catholic and Protestant Bible versions that corroborate what I said. Jesus said that narrow is the way that leads to life, not the main road. We dig deep to search for the truth about God.

I am using a very precise Greek interlinear. Who is the author of your source?

It's because you refuse to think, His Father never ever bow down to anyone as God . never worshipped anyone, Never even call anyone My God . that is what is called Almighty

But Jesus still bow down to someone , never an Almighty

salvation101:
the dates you mentioned are just very recent. 19th and 20th century mostly.. History has it dat the name emanated in the 13th century so its not surprising..
Well, For the record, Yahweh is not the Tetragrammaton. It is a transliteration just as Jehovah is. The only difference is that Jehovah is in English. None of the apostles or disciple of Jesus used or wrote Yahweh as a word. No ancient text or manuscript contains the word, Yahweh. It was never documented.
It is not even the main Hebrew word used back in the days. This is a transliteration made by the neo-Jews.
The same thing is with Jesus. No one knows exactly how he was called in Hebrew. Not even the Jewish scholars yesterday or today. What you call as Jesus today was not the name that Jesus answered to when he was alive. What you call Jesus today is a translation of his Hebrew name, which is Yehoshua.

The clue to all these are many other names stemming from the Tetragrammaton like Jehonadab, Jehoiakim, Jehozadab, Jehoram etc. If these names were translated and accepted in English, why would you stick to a name that is not even English and not original Hebrew? Yahweh stands in between English and original Hebrew. It does not fall into any grammatic space as far as you and I are concerned. How do you sound a neo-Hebrew word using English syllable and stress pattern? You cannot achieve the actual sound and the meaning might be lost in it. Are you going to call Peter 'Petrus'? As in pet-roos or pet-ras? (I cannot get the phonetic symbols).

Think about it. This is the only name every anti-JW is refuting, why? There is something there.
If Jesus could come from Jehoshua to Iesous to Jesus, why can't people be open to using Jehovah which is an English name? Other aboriginal African languages translate and use Jehovah. Even Yoruba and Igbo Bible use it.

English did not become a thing in the days of the Roman empire. English only came on when the Roman empire disintegrated and individual leaders sparsed out. Even after the glorious days of the Romans, it also took hundreds of years before English was recognised as a language of the elites or scholars.

So, if you are looking for any popular formal document prior to that time, look away from the English language. You will not find it because the English themselves were not taught in the English language.

Latin, French and German were already paramount means of communication before English. The name Jesus was not even in use until hundreds of years after, and Jehovah was already translated into English.

I want to ask you. When was Yahweh transliterated from the Tetragrammaton? What year?

take note no one has seen God in the past, no man can see God as a Spirit but God came in flesh and all who saw him saw his glory.
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.
No man has seen God before he became flesh but know Jesus has revealed/declared him.
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

1 John 1:1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;

1:3 That which we[b] have seen[/b] and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

Take note those that have seen the Son has automatically seen the Father.
Why? The Son and the Father are absolutely one.

John 14:7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

14:8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.

14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?

John 10:30 I and my Father are one.

There are many things we think we know but really don't know we don't know. You can't explain the Oneness of God and Christ. They are two different people that are One and can't be separated.

Like you can't explain how God remains present in all places at all times so also you can't explain the oneness of God and Christ with your human logic. So there are many things you should not worry yourself about else you'd end up an atheist.

Oga through out the entire bible did Christ or his disciples ever called or refer to himself as God the son?

The oneness of God is not debatable, Deu 6:4 was very clear with that. Jesus Christ repeated it in Mark 12:29

You are a Catholic and you lied that you were a JW. How low can you go just to score cheap points to blaspheme the JW. I see how you defend the Catholics with your life. You do not know or understand the core doctrines of the JW. Even a JW 'child' knows what's what.

Catholics are not enemies of JW. We do not play the dog race. We focus not on the organisation but the doctrines and message. In case you did not know your history, you had your first war with the Muslims and then the Orthodox and then the Protestants. There has never been a battle between Catholics and the JW. We have always been the subjected and reviled one. Hitler was a Catholic and he swore to wipe us out. He burnt and killed so many Jehovah's witnesses but here we are in 2018, almost 8.5 million 'active' JW proclaiming the words of Jehovah in '240' countries. Can you beat that? And where is Hitler today? This is 72 years after Hitler's sordid death.

You were very active posting "copy and paste" from blogs. It turns out that your own knowledge of the Bible is only blasphemy against the JW copied from blogs.

You are not able to answer simple Bible-based questions. Your responses are simply insults and denigrating statements against the JW. defend your own doctrine if you truly believe in it. Answer my questions!

At Jesus baptism when the Holy Spirit came down from heaven in the form of a dove, did it come as the holy spirit or did it come in flesh thereby leaving its godliness in heaven?

The holy spirit was sent by Jesus from God to the earth, since then has it returned? If not where is it today? It was seen as fire by the disciples of Jesus. It came as a dove upon Jesus. It came as burning fire to Moses. Why did the Bible ask us to pray for the father to give us holy spirit?

In your doctrinal depiction of the holy spirit etched on your church walls and used in your books, he has the structure of a man and the face of a man. Did the Bible ever describe the holy spirit that way?

Did anyone ever see the face of the father? If not, why did you design it as the face of a man?

Well, For the record, Yahweh is not the Tetragrammaton. It is a transliteration just as Jehovah is. The only difference is that Jehovah is in English. None of the apostles or disciple of Jesus used or wrote Yahweh as a word. No ancient text or manuscript contains the word, Yahweh. It was never documented.



All this just to discredit the use of Yahweh and justify the use of Jehovah which originated and was popularised by people you consider pagans. Yahweh is a transliteration of YHWH while Jehovah is an anglicised form of yahowah ie probably A transliteration of yahowah. But the ancient scripts had יהוה‬ in Hebrew and YHWH in Latin. Jehovah is just a mispronunciation.
No ancient script had Jehovah either. Therefore the Jehovah written all over your bible even in the Greek manuscript were it was never found are just spurious insertions. Your bible is corrupted.


It is not even the main Hebrew word used back in the days. This is a transliteration made by the neo-Jews.
The same thing is with Jesus. No one knows exactly how he was called in Hebrew. Not even the Jewish scholars yesterday or today. What you call as Jesus today was not the name that Jesus answered to when he was alive. What you call Jesus today is a translation of his Hebrew name, which is Yehoshua.
The blame game will not save you. Jesus pronunciation is very clear. In the case of jesus, they knew the name and pronunciation in Greek, Latin and Hebrew. Pronunciation was never a problem. People who coined the name of Jehovah were not sure of the spelling or pronunciation till date we ain't sure. Some scholars agree while others disagree. I have never read where the name "Jesus" caused disagreement amongst scholars.

The clue to all these are many other names stemming from the Tetragrammaton like Jehonadab, Jehoiakim, Jehozadab, Jehoram etc. If these names were translated and accepted in English, why would you stick to a name that is not even English and not original Hebrew?
What sort of dumb and fallacious reasoning is this? They were accepted because they were being pronounced in Hebrew, greek and latin. Jews don't even pronounce YHWH, so how will you form an English word from a word that has no Hebrew, greek or latin pronunciation and expect it to be correct?



Yahweh stands in between English and original Hebrew. It does not fall into any grammatic space as far as you and I are concerned. How do you sound a neo-Hebrew word using English syllable and stress pattern? You cannot achieve the actual sound and the meaning might be lost in it. Are you going to call Peter 'Petrus'? As in pet-roos or pet-ras? (I cannot get the phonetic symbols

Therefore, you now want to justify using an English word that the scholars who coined it are not even sure of. So it is now the assumed English word that the actual sound and meaning might be regained?
Well, thank God you used the word "might" it shows you are not certain about your reasons. It is expected of watchtower to hide under uncertainty yet claim accuracy of facts. Its obvious that this your reasoning is likely to change in future.



Think about it. This is the only name every anti-JW is refuting, why? There is something there.
If Jesus could come from Jehoshua to Iesous to Jesus, why can't people be open to using Jehovah which is an English name? Other aboriginal African languages translate and use Jehovah. Even Yoruba and Igbo Bible use it.

You now want to lie on anti jws heads. They do not refute the name Jehovah. They have continuously told you that anti jws refute the name. Let me give you the reasons why.
You can't force people to accept that in other to worship God, you must use the name Jehovah. This is a big lie. First of all Jehovah is an anglicised form of Yahowah and People who coined the name Jehovah are not even sure.
Every language has its name for God. Jehovah is English bro.


English did not become a thing in the days of the Roman empire. English only came on when the Roman empire disintegrated and individual leaders sparsed out. Even after the glorious days of the Romans, it also took hundreds of years before English was recognised as a language of the elites or scholars
All these ones just to hide the fact that the name Jehovah was coined just in the 16th century by pagans.
All these ones na assumptions. Combination of two different and separate historical facts like they happened in succession or were dependent on each other. Latin was the language of elites in Rome at least YHWH is Latin. No pronunciation though.

So, if you are looking for any popular formal document prior to that time, look away from the English language. You will not find it because the English themselves were not taught in the English language.
The Greek manuscript that was translated to English does not have Jehovah.

Latin, French and German were already paramount means of communication before English. The name Jesus was not even in use until hundreds of years after, and Jehovah was already translated into English.

Liar. The letter j was introduced into English language in the 16th century. But the name Jesus had its pronunciation in tact.
"The name Jesus was not even in use until hundreds of years after, and Jehovah was already translated into English"
You are deceitful when you make this statement like this. History has it that the name Jesus was well in use in the Bible. You make it seem like the word Jehovah was translated into English language way before Jesus. Another lie spotted.
By the time the New Testament was written, the Septuagint had already transliterated ישוע Yeshua` into Koine Greek as closely as possible in the 3rd-century BCE, the result being Ἰησοῦς Iēsous.
The consensus among scholars is that the historical vocalization of the Tetragrammaton at the time of the redaction of the Torah (6th century BCE) is most likely Yahweh. The historical vocalization was lost because in Second Temple Judaism, during the 3rd to 2nd centuries BCE, the pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton came to be avoided, being substituted with Adonai ("my Lord"wink. The Hebrew vowel points of Adonai were added to the Tetragrammaton by the Masoretes, and the resulting form was transliterated around the 12th century as Yehowah.[1] The derived forms Iehouah and Jehovah first appeared in the 16th century.

Iehouah and Jehovah first appeared in the 16th century yehowah in the 12th century and yaweh in the 6th century while lesous was already in use by the 3rd century. Jesus was introduced in the 16th thesame time with Jehovah when use of the letter " j"commenced.



I want to ask you. When was Yahweh transliterated from the Tetragrammaton? What year?
Jws and their deceitful statement. Your Jehovah what year was it introduced into the bible?


Jehovah" was popularized in the English-speaking world by William Tyndale and other pioneer English Protestant translations such as the Geneva Bible and the King James Version.

The name Jehovah was mainly used by the English Protestant translations people you consider pagans, non jws, worldly, wicked and unrighteous.

My own is any name of God in any language is fine. Conditioning people to think that it is by only use of the name Jehovah you define true worship is wrong because it is a lie meant to keep people in bondage. As Jehovah was coined by years and years of guess work by people that your organization consider pagans.
From this your explanation you only degraded the name Yahweh and the only place you put Jehovah made it look like it was the main name since the time of the Jews.

Your Jehovah failed to keep his name in his word for thousands of years. Your Jehovah omitted his name from his inspired book only to direct pagans to put it back in the 16th century for Jehovah witnesses to start using from 1935 and to incorporate in their Bible in 1960. Your religion is a big joke.
If you like o argue that because the bible you use is in English, therefore Jehovah is appropriate because it is the English Protestant pagans that invented the name and Jesus. This your argument may seem OK but when you look deeper the pronunciation of Jesus was known from time immemorial both in Greek and Latin so it's easy to translate to English whereas, the word Jehovah was gotten from a word that has an unknown pronunciation till date. A word that was coined via guess work that's a name you use in worship. If its catholics or christians you tag them babylon the great. You people are jokers. No wonder you are still in bondage.

Just to discredit Yahweh you just write a biased epistle. You use a word whose pronunciation is far from the YHWH itself.
Scholars say Yahweh is the most appropriate name.
