1. On JW's claim of Jesus being an angelic being.
Hebrews 1 refutes the claim that Jesus is an angelic being.
In Heb. 1 v. 3 we have that Jesus is the "exact representation" of God's nature. Exact means exact. Nothing less. In the same verse we are told that Jesus "upholds all things by the word of his power ". It takes omnipotence to uphold ALL THINGS at the same time. A creature is incapable of such power.

In v.4 Jesus's Superiority Over Angels is shown with the statement that Jesus is "MUCH SUPERIOR to angels"
"So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs."
Hebrews 1:4 NIV
We see here that Jesus is superior, in quality and position, to the angels.

When we are told in Hebrews 1:5 "For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my Son; today I have become your Father”? Or again, “I will be his Father, and he will be my Son”?
That rhetoric question makes us come to only one conclusion: God never said that to ANY angel.
CLEARLY the book of Hebrews emphasizes the superiority of Jesus over ALL angels
. No matter the class or ranking of the angel.

In v.6 we see that all the angels of God are to worship him. No elect angel gets or accepts the worship of any other created being. But we see here angels themselves worshiping one who is obviously superior to them.

JWs are yet to show how the worship of God and the Lamb in portions like Revelation 7 agree with their own interpretation of obeisance to Jesus rather than direct worship of him. It is clear here that BOTH God and the Lamb are the focus of the worship by the heavenly crowd. Nothing here says that one is being worshipped while the other is simply 'respected'.

In v.10 we see a clear rebuttal of JW's claim that Jesus was first created and then created other things. We are told here: "And, you LORD, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth. And the heavens are the works of your hands"
Linking this to John 1:3 where we are told that: "All things came into being through him, and apart from him nothing came into being that has come into being" we see that JW's claim that he was first created is again busted here. If NOTHING came into being apart from Jesus it means he was UNCREATED. JW's attempt to adjust Col. 1:16 to read that he created "other" things fall apart based on John's statement here. They forgot to add "other" to the 'all things' here in John 1:16 to adjust the translation to their doctrinal leaning.

2. On JW's misuse of 1 Thessalonians 4:16
JW's claim that because that portion states that Jesus will "descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel" then it means he is an archangel.
If we are to follow their logic, does it then mean that the second part of the verse which states "with the trumpet call" makes Jesus a trumpet? Of course the answer is: No! But JW's logic would mean that if the first part makes him an archangel then he should also be a trumpet.

3. On claim that Jesus did not rise bodily but with a 'spirit body'.
JWS claim that 'the man Jesus is dead; for ever dead'. This contradicts 1 Corinthians 15: 15-20 which clearly says he has indeed been raised from the dead.
In the Gospel when Jesus asks Thomas to touch touch him he referred to his nail pierced hands and the spear pierced side. This means that it is the same body as was on the cross.
In Luke 24 when Jesus appeared to his disciples 'He said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? Look at my hands and feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have".
He showed them his hands and feet. He referred to himself as flesh and bones. His physical body did not simply disappear or disintegrate in the tomb.

4. On means of salvation by JWS
JW teaching about salvation rests on following the GB. JWS believe "obedience to the 'faithful slaves' will determine your salvation"
So, the true freedom and peace which comes from the gospel of grace in Christ Jesus is absent with the JW.

Anybody can refute anything since each person has his/her own line of thought. That is what gives room for continuous learning with no evidence of accurate knowledge {2Timothy 3:7} as each person will come up with his/her own arguments {1Timothy 6:4; Titus 3:9} that's how the churches kept doing until there emerged over 41,000 different religions all claiming Christians with contradicting teachings and conflicting doctrines! Luke 11:23

So instead of refuting what a group teaches with arguments based on letters found in the Bible why not ask for the group that got things right? The letters can be rephrased to soothe anyone's opinion but the spirit of God (that doesn't give room for confusion) will only work with the group that's doing the right thing! 2Corinthians 3:6

Please instead of going about with arguments against all the religions around why not focus on finding the group that's practicing pure worship so that you can be assured that you've found the truth?
If you call a Catholic, Anglican, Apostolic, CAC, RCCG, MFM, Winner, Chosen, Christ Embassy, Cele, C&S, Jehovah's Witnesses, ECWA, Four Square and Muslim to start arguing on letters found in the Bible each will continue to argue in support of the viewpoint of what they were taught as interpretations of those letters. But when you ask for the group in whose midst there is LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, GOODNESS, GENTLENESS, FAITH, MILDNESS, and SELF-CONTROL, that's when most argumentators will become uncomfortable because we all know that against a group of imperfect humans exhibiting these qualities there is nothing worthwhile anybody have to say! Galatians 5:22-23

So my advice to you is find out the group of people that's practicing what God wants then compare to your own viewpoint of those letters otherwise you will always find people who will continue to argue yet there is nothing to show for their fruitless arguments! smiley

Even God seems to have refuted "Jehovah's witness organisation".

I've never met a successful JW. Mention one except the founder.

Also when you go to a JW fellowship all you hear is how they are being persecuted. Because they are just too stubborn. And we know stubbornness is a sin as witchcraft. 1 Sam 15:23

Persecution is their pride.
Your founder obviously has brainwashed you with his misinterpretation of Persecution.
Yes true Christians experience Persecution in the name of Christ.
But it's not every Persecution that makes you a Christian. Otherwise even criminals are being persecuted, does that make them Christians?
When you disobey the laws of any land, you will be persecuted.
And we know that God instituted authorities in every Land.

The actual refuting is not that you don't preach the Bible,it is your misinsterpretation of the Bible.

For starters you have your own adulterated version of the Bible. Which you impose on your members.

You have also managed to completely blot out every part of the new testament that speaks on the works of the Holyspirit.

Jesus Christ whom you serve taught that he would pray the father to send the Holyspirit and he highlighted the works of the Holyspirit. Also the apostles. But all these you have denied as you claim that spiritual gifts have expired.

I wish I could slap you to reality but as long as you worship there you will be blinded by the brainwashing.
And the worst part is the psychological effect of not wanting to risk losing everything you have worked for. So you keep deceiving yourself even when you know the truth that most of JW teachings are wrong.

Well that's the one and only group having the oneness of thought that Jesus fervently prayed for! John 17:20-23; 1Corinthians 1:10; Ephesians 4:3
And regarding success it's obvious you don't know what that means because if there is a group where all the members globally have access to complete Bibles and other publications even in the world's poorest nations that people there can't afford a Bible, then it means such a group is the most successful as Jesus' order for all members to have the spiritual SWORD is fulfilled in their midst!

At times the response is meant for other followers who may think the fool has something tangible to say but when we bring wise response everyone will see how foolish they are! Proverbs 26:5

To illustrate imagine an inquisitor who is going about saying he is detecting fake currencies in circulation. When he comes across a note he will raise the alarm "FAKE!" and that's what he always do.
Then someone said to him:
"Please can you present to us the only legal tender so that everyone can see all it's features, then we won't have to continue living in fear of being paid with fake currencies?"

This same sejenaija and Myer has been going all over Nairaland arguing fruitlessly over what is wrong in one religion/faith or the other but never have they for once to present the group that's practicing pure worship for everyone to see how things ought to be done! Matthew 5:13-16

That's where their foolishness is hidden from them! grin

In the same verse we are told that Jesus "upholds all things by the word of his power ". It takes omnipotence to uphold ALL THINGS at the same time. A creature is incapable of such power.
.
Is sagenaija an exact representation of his own Father's nature?

Genesis 1:27 and Matthew 19:4-6, is man the exact representation of God's image & likeness?

Even Jesus Christ exists in the image of God.
Man , Angels, Jesus "the first born of every creature",all exists in the image of God.
Sagenaija dey DECEIVE himself. grin

sagenaija:

"So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs."
Hebrews 1:4 NIV
We see here that Jesus is superior, in quality and position, to the angels.
.
You are missing something here, Sagenaija.
Hebrews 1:4, "Jesus INHERITED" a name superior to theirs.
INHERITANCE is a gift oooo !
Would Jesus INHERIT what he already owns?
No, NOT at all.
The Giver of the INHERITANCE is Supreme over Jesus & the angels.

Trinity robbed your SENSE.

grin grin
sagenaija:

When we are told in Hebrews 1:5 "For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my Son; today I have become your Father”? Or again, “I will be his Father, and he will be my Son”?
That rhetoric question makes us come to only one conclusion: God never said that to ANY angel.
[b]Again,Sagenaija is missing another vital point.
Is Hebrews 1:5 lifted from the old testament?
The answer is yes!
In the old testament, Job 1:6, Job2:1, Psalms 89:26 (NIV),what is the meaning of "Son(s) of God"?
Answer: Angel(s).

@ Hebrews 1:6, is God saying that Angels are not His Son?

No !
Therefore, according to Hebrew meaning of Job 1:6 & Psalms 89:26 copied @Hebrew 1:6, Jesus Christ is his Father's angel= son of God.
Biblical Fact.
sagenaija:

CLEARLY the book of Hebrews emphasizes the superiority of Jesus over ALL angels[/b]. No matter the class or ranking of the angel.
Yes !
Matthew 25:31, 2 Thess 1:7 & 1 Thess4:16, did your Bible confirm Jesus the leader of all angels? grin grin grin grin
Yes!

Daniel 10:13 is very correct, Jesus Christ is the archangel meaning Leader of all angels.
Genesis 16:7, Malachi 3:1,Amplified Bible & Geneva Bible,did your Trinitarian devotees & Bible Translators confirm Jesus Christ is an angel?

sagenaija:


In v.6 we see that all the angels of God are to worship him. No elect angel gets or accepts the worship of any other created being. But we see here angels themselves worshiping one who is obviously superior to them.
Hebrews 1:6 Complete Jerusalem Bible, "pay homage, your Trinitarian mentors, the Catholic church Bible said so grin grin
Homage is NOT worship.

It is clear here that BOTH God and the Lamb are the focus of the worship by the heavenly crowd. Nothing here says that one is being worshipped while the other is simply 'respected'.
Sagenaija,You are TWISTING the scriptures.
Revelation chapter 7 NEVER said that.
Is Revelation 3:12 in your Bible?
Revelation 3:12 & John 20:17,Who does Jesus worship in heaven?
Continue your disobedience to Jesus Christ
@ John 4:23-24 & Matthew 4:4.
Polytheist devotee DECEIVING himself !

grin grin grin
sagenaija:

In v.10 we see a clear rebuttal of JW's claim that Jesus was first created and then created other things. We are told here: "And, you LORD, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth. And the heavens are the works of your hands"
Who laid the foundation & is speaking at Job 38:1-7 Isaiah 44:24?
Job 38:7 is Jesus among the sons with Him?
1 Corinthians 8:6, John 5:26 who created ALL things?
John 5:26, who gave life to his son?
Revelation 2:27 & John 5:26,is the Giver of life the Father of his son in the spiritual realm?
sagenaija:

Linking this to John 1:3 where we are told that: "All things came into being through him, and apart from him nothing came into being that has come into being" we see that JW's claim that he was first created is again busted here. If NOTHING came into being apart from Jesus it means he was UNCREATED.
All things came into being through Jesus.
Emphasis on Greek word "Dia/ "THROUGH"
@ Colossians 1:16,John 1:3 & 1 Corinthians 8:6
your Bible says you are grasping at straws.
Jesus is a creature NOT the Father of ALL.
Ephesians 3:14-15, Ephesians 4:6 & Romans 11:35-36, kiss the truth.

sagenaija:

JW's attempt to adjust Col. 1:16 to read that he created "other" things fall apart based on John's statement here. They forgot to add "other" to the 'all things' here in John 1:16 to adjust the translation to their doctrinal leaning.
.
Did Jesus create his own Father?
Sagenaija bring evidence chapter & verse.
"other things" @ Colossians 1:16 excludes his Father. Biblical Fact and clarity.
Please continue WAILING grin


When you Sagenaija copy GIBBERISH from your Trinity mentors you type GIBBERISH. grin

3. On claim that Jesus did not rise bodily but with a 'spirit body'.
1 Corinthians 15:50, do flesh & blood live in heaven?
Acts 9:4-6, why did Saul not see Jesus talking to him?
John 20:11-13, where is Jesus when Mary Magdalene had this conversation with the 2 men?
Bigotry taken over your SENSE of reasoning. grin
sagenaija:

JWS claim that 'the man Jesus is dead; for ever dead'. This contradicts 1 Corinthians 15: 15-20 which clearly says he has indeed been raised from the dead.
Sagenaija is LYING against JWs and making FALSE claim.
Tueh !

sagenaija:

In the Gospel when Jesus asks Thomas to touch touch him he referred to his nail pierced hands and the spear pierced side. This means that it is the same body as was on the cross.
In Luke 24 when Jesus appeared to his disciples 'He said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? Look at my hands and feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have".

Sagenaija is LYING.
1 Peter 3:18 Jesus Christ made alive in the spiritual realm".
Peter is an eye Witness.
Sagenaija,continue DECEIVING yourself.

Jesus had a bodily resurrection from the dead.
He said to them to touch him to show he was neither a spirit or an apparition. And they physically touched him to dispel any theory of hallucinations or visions.

He also ate fish with them which a spirit wouldn’t do.

He showed his wounds to them and to Thomas to feel too. That wasn’t a trance or a vision.

“See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye behold me having.

And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here anything to eat?

Then he stood by them under the tree as they were eating. Genesis 18:6-8

Then he stood by them under the tree as they were eating. Genesis 18:6-8

The three visitors eating, were they humans or spirits putting on materialised bodies? Hebrews 13:2 smiley

The argument is on Jesus having a bodily form after his resurrection and not on his divinity.

He was human and divine, and so were the divine figures in human form with Abraham.

You are talking about divine figures now.


Do you also have any comment about Paul’s letter of the appearances and that of his showing of wounds to Thomas?

Yes. Those guys came in human form and interacted with Abraham in human form even though they were divine.

So Jesus could eat fish as human who was also divine.

If the 3 visitors were PHYSICALLY present with Abraham, Abraham would bear witness to anyone who asked and say categorically that he SAW the 3 persons physically. That’s the point actually...whether they PHYSICALLY ate the food or whether he was in a trance or vision and saw them eat the food in a vision.

It is established that Abraham saw them physically just like the disciples saw Jesus in human form eating the fish and Thomas also physically touched the wound.

If all could say “we saw them physically” and others saw them too, then we can say Jesus’ resurrection was in bodily form and not in a vision or trance.

Jesus' resurrection wasn't in human form! smiley

First of all, remember that his body became unrecognizable even by his former closest confidants {Luke 24:15-16} then he couldn't sleep in anyone's home after his resurrection which spirits also don't do. Luke 24:28-30

So Jesus only put on materialised body to prove that the spirit person who came from heaven, born by a virgin, executed and buried is now alive, as for his former body which they knew and can easily recognize that's what he used as the sacrifice for our sin, it is no more retrievable. He only put on all those wounds to convince Thomas who at the time is yet to understand spiritual things. Jesus was buried in a corruptible body (one that's damageable) but was resurrected in incorruptible body (one that can't be damaged) it's human bodies that can be damaged the body with which Jesus resurrected is spirit (body that can't be damaged)

So it is with the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised up in incorruption. It is sown in dishonor; it is raised up in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised up in power. It is sown a physical body; it is raised up a spiritual body. If there is a physical body, there is also a spiritual one. 1Corinthians15:42-44

So Jesus' resurrection wasn't in the physical body but spiritual body, he only materialised bodies that can be seen, felt and touched to convince his friends who are yet to grasp what was happening. It was after they were baptized with Holy Spirit that they began understanding all these things! John 16:12-13

I would love you to put me in a tight corner really.

Your explanations are more of imaginations and not what the Bible said.

I think your problem is on Jesus being fully human and divine. If you agree he was divine and human, then you understand he lived the 33 years on earth as a physical person despite his humanity. Unless you want to convince us Jesus was not a physical human while on earth.
So the 3 persons Abraham saw were with him physically despite being divine beings.

I would love to see you counter that. If you think they didn’t appear to Abraham in human form, then we think Jesus’ 33 years on earth couldn’t have been in physical form.

Based on the Bible accounts, Jesus appeared physically to his disciples after the resurrection, showed the wound to Thomas physically, appeared to the disciples on their way to Emmaus physically. Of course, his divine nature that made miracles possible was not taken away from him.

Jesus died and was resurrected but his friends can't recognize him, then he only appears and disappears randomly, they never knew where he is staying after his death and resurrection.

Like I said, the burden of proof shifts to you to show us beyond reasonable doubt why you think Jesus did not resurrect in his physical body contrary to the Bible accounts. The accounts showed he specifically told them he wasn’t a spirit and that he could be felt, he ate with them, he appeared to many and they didn’t have group hallucinations which is not possible. And the witnesses testified they saw him.

We are not discussing his divinity. He was divine of course. But the Bible specifically recorded that he was physically seen after resurrection and was recognized by some of his disciples.


“But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they beheld a spirit.

And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and wherefore do questionings arise in your heart?

See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see;

for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye behold me having. And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.

And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here anything to eat? And he took it, and ate before them.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭24:37-41, 43‬ ‭ASV‬‬
https://www.bible.com/12/luk.24.37-41,43.asv

The fact that people can see white and called it black, is what is playing out here. Where someone will read above verses and still be arguing that Jesus didn't resurrect bodily.

The disciples thought they SAW A SPIRIT but Jesus convinced them that what they saw isn't actually spirit but A BEING WITH PHYSICAL BODY.

Does it sound reasonable that a spirit trying to confuse His disciples of not being a spirit, when in reality He is a SPIRIT?

Which means the disciples were right but it was Jesus who was deceiving them.

You are missing something here, Sagenaija.

No, NOT at all.

The answer is yes!
In the old testament, Job 1:6, Job2:1, Psalms 89:26 (NIV),what is the meaning of "Son(s) of God"?

@ Hebrews 1:6, is God saying that Angels are not His Son?

No !
Therefore, according to Hebrew meaning of Job 1:6 & Psalms 89:26 copied @Hebrew 1:6, Jesus Christ is his Father's angel= son of God.
Biblical Fact.

Yes !
Matthew 25:31, 2 Thess 1:7 & 1 Thess4:16, did your Bible confirm Jesus the leader of all angels? grin grin grin grin
Yes!

Daniel 10:13 is very correct, Jesus Christ is the archangel meaning Leader of all angels.

1. Janosky, Can a creature uphold all things by the word of his power?

2. You are the one missing not just one thing but several. Read Hebrews 1:4 in context.

3. Another vital point you missed on Hebrews 1:5 is this: God NEVER said to ANY angel you are 'My Son'. Remember that the Father addressed Jesus as 'Son' at his baptism and the transfiguration. Does that mean anything to you?

How you came to the convoluted "Jesus Christ is his Father's angel= son of God.
Biblical Fact." only you can tell but it is not in that portion of Scripture.

4. Again, and it bears repeating, Daniel 10:13 in your translation puts Daniel 10:13b as follows - ".... But then Michael, one of the foremost princes, ..."
Did you see 'one of' in that portion? 'One of' means there are others who are in the class of 'foremost princes'. How did 'one of' become 'Jesus Christ is the archangel meaning Leader of all angels.' Only janosky's warped thinking can come to that conclusion. Nothing there is talking about 'the' Archangel. It says 'one of'. Isn't that clear enough for you, even from your own translation?

5. Must you be spoon fed to grasp simple truths? Ok, I see your problem: it's your indoctrination. Now, look at Revelation 5. Note verse 14. Is there worship there? Then go back a little to verse 13. Is the Lamb there? Is he linked with the Father? Then go again and read the entire chapter and then move from there to chapter 7. Are your eyes clear now?

6. You were quick to pick on the wrongly mentioned verse of John 1. Had you looked at it from the beginning of the paragraph you should have seen that it was John 1:3 that was in view. JW's adjusted Col. 1:16 to read that he created "other" things but that claim falls apart based on John's statement here. Your guys forgot to add "other" to the 'all things' here in John 1:3 to adjust the translation to your doctrinal leaning.
Your translation of John 1: 3 says "All things came into existence through him, (i.e. Jesus) and apart from him NOT EVEN ONE THING came into existence".

7. You failed to show how the archangel's voice in 1 Thessalonians 4:16 translates into Jesus being an Archangel.

8. On JWS claim that 'the man Jesus is dead; for ever dead' maybe you should consult Prophet GOOGLE (Peace be upon him) to help you out. Then you'll see that Sagenaija is not LYING against JWs and making FALSE claim.

9. Where did Hebrews 13:7,17, say that  "obedience to the 'faithful slaves' will determine your salvation"? Is the source of salvation obedience to your leaders or faith in the finished work of Christ?
Please reset your brain.

MaxInDHouse:
Anybody can refute anything since each person has his/her own line of thought. That is what gives room for continuous learning with no evidence of accurate knowledge {2Timothy 3:7} as each person will come up with his/her own arguments {1Timothy 6:4; Titus 3:9} that's how the churches kept doing until there emerged over 41,000 different religions all claiming Christians with contradicting teachings and conflicting doctrines! Luke 11:23

So instead of refuting what a group teaches with arguments based on letters found in the Bible why not ask for the group that got things right? The letters can be rephrased to soothe anyone's opinion but the spirit of God (that doesn't give room for confusion) will only work with the group that's doing the right thing! 2Corinthians 3:6

Please instead of going about with arguments against all the religions around why not focus on finding the group that's practicing pure worship so that you can be assured that you've found the truth?
If you call a Catholic, Anglican, Apostolic, CAC, RCCG, MFM, Winner, Chosen, Christ Embassy, Cele, C&S, Jehovah's Witnesses, ECWA, Four Square and Muslim to start arguing on letters found in the Bible each will continue to argue in support of the viewpoint of what they were taught as interpretations of those letters. But when you ask for the group in whose midst there is LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, GOODNESS, GENTLENESS, FAITH, MILDNESS, and SELF-CONTROL, that's when most argumentators will become uncomfortable because we all know that against a group of imperfect humans exhibiting these qualities there is nothing worthwhile anybody have to say! Galatians 5:22-23

So my advice to you is find out the group of people that's practicing what God wants then compare to your own viewpoint of those letters otherwise you will always find people who will continue to argue yet there is nothing to show for their fruitless arguments! smiley

“But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they beheld a spirit.

And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and wherefore do questionings arise in your heart?

See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see;

for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye behold me having. And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.

And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here anything to eat? And he took it, and ate before them.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭24:37-41, 43‬ ‭ASV‬‬

“not to all the people, but unto witnesses that were chosen before of God, even to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.”

One thing i realized is that most people can't differentiate between envious criticism and a correction. If Jesus resurrected with his human body then what exactly did he give as the sacrifice for the sin of mankind?
Adam brought mankind to this sinful condition but Jesus gave his body to redeem us {John 6:51} that's why Paul said:

So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living person.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. 1Corinthians 15:45

Please ask our friends who did Paul said became a life giving SPIRIT and when did the last Adam became a life-giving SPIRIT?

Jesus said there are many things he supposed to tell his disciples but as at the time when they're yet baptized with Holy Spirit they can't grasp it! John 16:12-13

Please my brother let them be, if they have Jesus let them present the evidence by pointing out the organization of people who are like brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers and children among themselves because that's what Jesus told Peter as evidence of being on the road to everlasting life! Mark 10:28-30

In the absence of Jesus the only EVIDENCE is an organization of people like one big family, if they can present that then we can talk but if not then each of them should go and worship with anyone having the same line of thought with them! John 17:20-23 smiley

Well that's the one and only group having the oneness of thought that Jesus fervently prayed for! John 17:20-23; 1Corinthians 1:10; Ephesians 4:3
And regarding success it's obvious you don't know what that means because if there is a group where all the members globally have access to complete Bibles and other publications even in the world's poorest nations that people there can't afford a Bible, then it means such a group is the most successful as Jesus' order for all members to have the spiritual SWORD is fulfilled in their midst! Luke 22:36 compare to John 17:17 and Ephesians 6:17 smiley
Delusion again!

In your own response, which other spirit can give life?

Jesus must have been a class of His own, the same material as Jehovah, himself.



If He ( Jesus) created everything, He must be outside His own creation. Phil.2: 6
