Finally, dictionary has kept you quiet. Now, you will not decieve people like this and go scot free. God will eventually arrest you just like Paul and like Paul too, open your eyes to the truth and make you an ambassador of the same truth. I am praying for you and I hope to hear from you then. Do have a nice day too.

Not really! I just thought about Jude 1:12-13 and decided to end the intellectual riling and divergence of thoughts and beliefs. There are people who are structured to waste fruitful time on fruitlessness. You have your ways and it is different from mine. So, I appreciate your time so far.

Who certified them reliable?
The Bible says that an evil person will not sleep until he commits evil Proverbs 4:16. What else would you call it if not an egregious crime? Blaspheming against someone, calling him a heretic, and disgracefully Killing him while years later you publish the same thing that you killed that man for. What breed of evil is that? Aren't you complicit trying to defend them? Are you seeing the stain of innocent blood in your (best) Bible? You see! These are facts that you need to seek. Do some findings! Who was the Church of England and who was the government? Tell me! The Bible says do unto others as you, in turn, desire to receive. Saying that the Church of England did not want the Bible translated from Greek or Hebrew is an emphatic lie. Do not lie to conceal bloodguilt. In the 1500's The Bible was already in Latin, Egyptian Language, German, English(John Wycliffe) even before William Tyndale. None of these people were reading the Bible in Greek or Hebrew at that time. People were reading and translating from Latin. And why would they not want God's word to be translated into English when the masses spoke English and not Latin, Hebrew or Greek? Don't you smell the devil's rat? They all wanted control. They knew people would find out the truth and break free. They wanted to spoon-feed people with heresy by using tormentuous hellfire as a leverage to instil fear in the hearts of the masses. Ludicrous! Do not try to be complicit. The Church never changed. And it is never right to steal someone else's work. He could have simply reprinted more copies of Tyndale's work rather than stealing and rebranding? No, that is a hoax. Was he translating what has already been translated? It cannot be translation. If you look intently they call it King James VERSION, not "Translation". If he did any translation works it would have been King James Translation. Give credit to whom it is due, Tyndale. You yourself wrote about his multiple language skills. How credible were the 55 man committee that they could not see the name JEHOVAH in some verses after replacing the name about 7000 times in other verses? What were their qualifications? Plagiarism is a crime and no one involved in such act should get any credit at all. If Tyndale were not killed, and in our soceity today, he would sue King James and the court would squash all the King James Bibles with a heavy fine imposed on King James or even jail time. He got away because he was the king. A thief of a heretical work (that is what the Catholics and Orthodox would have called him back in the days) by the standard of the Church. Hahaha. You are comical. Scrutiny, my foot! King James gave them simple instructions and they coud not follow. The were just copying everything and looking for the name JEHOVAH to replace. Please, join scholars who have been scrutinizing the heretic 1 John 5:7 that they inserted in the KJV. Those men were unskilled enough to scrutinize from the Greek and Hebrew scriptures to know that the name of God is not LORD but Jehovah. At least, they should have used the Tetragrammaton, YHWH. The funny thing is that they themselves scrutinized their own Bible afterwards and completely removed the name JEHOVAH that they left out initially. After 400 years, they scrutinized themselves again to restore the name JEHOVAH almost 7000 times. Much ado about scrutiny. Am exhausted LOL. They just love to reinforce that statment to gain paramount credit for themselves. "He didn't complete the Bible". I will scale over that issue for now. The mission was accomplished not that the book was publish. If you squint you will know what I am talkign about. As humans, we all have our consciences trolling us. We know when we are stealing, with or without a law. We are talking about a King that had sovereign power over a people. Even if there were laws, he would have killed to have his way. A thief is a thief no matter how the law is construed. Amazing! I love the law. Tyndale's work was published 1536 and King James plagiarised in 1611. That is 75 years, so will you accept that someone broke the copyright law? LOL
What is your obsession with these men? LOL. We have the Hebrew and Greek copies online. We will dig up and you will show me where King James Bible got 1 John 5:7. Are you even bothered about that? You should be more worried that there is dead rat smelling in your own house than another man's. The Bible that you have in your hand right now has some heretic texts inserted into it and that doesn't feel heavy to you? I do not think that an engineer discovered Microsoft. David was a herdsman but he defeated Goliath. 2 Corinthians 4:7 However, we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the power beyond what is normal may be God’s and not from us.
Matthew 11:25 At that time Jesus said in response: “I publicly praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and intellectual ones and have revealed them to young children.
Those people you revere and uphold have published a Bible that they have EDITED so many times yet you view them as intellectual and wise ones. They have failed and left in your hand an insertion of a disgusting and heretical text in 1 John 5:7. You defiantly defend them. These men plagiarised from a brutally murdered innocent man that they name a heretic, yet you defend them. Who will avenge the blood of William Tyndale? JEHOVAH! You uphold people who denied the people of God the privilege to hear and read his word in the very language that they understand. Yet, you want to condemn men who make their effort just like Tyndale to preserve the word of God.
Jehovah witnesses were slandered and ridiculed for restoring the name JEHOVAH in the Bible. We were called all sort of names. But people failed to see that the very celestial King James Bible also contains the name JEHOVAH. They failed to announce that JEHOVAH is a name crested in their churches? They failed to announce that King James who deleted the name JEHOVAH from the Bible in the 1600's engraved the name in his coin. They failed to announce to the world that the celestial King James version has also restored the name JEHOVAH in the King James Bible in 2011. They rather look for other reasons to malign us. Open your eyes and see! What were the qualifications of the men who plagiarised Tyndale's property? The Yoruba Bible was published by a white man and you accepted it. The Igbo Bible was published by a white man and that is acceptable. Even the pidgin language dictionary was published by Oyibo man and you never cringed. But you are so obsessed with the JW and seeking ways to defame us. It is well documented that the Pharisees were seeking ways to kill Jesus. I have presented you a solid fact. When you admit, I will know that you are not biased. Doesn't 1 John 5:7 itch you in the palm anytime you lift the KJV?
We are not because we anticipate it anytime. Jesus has told us already. We do not expect pity from you or anyone. Jehovah has been protecting and guiding us through all the attacks and persecution. Did you know that you are only one, and there are millions of you out there attacking the JW? You have a right to choose your belief but Matthew 10:22 says that we will be persecuted ON ACCOUNT OF HIS NAME. We abide by the law, but why the opposition? For example, we have our own Bible. We do not sell it to you or are you obliged to own one. Yet, you cannot sleep. The one that you have, you did not check to see the rottenness inside of it. Jesus advised you to remove the rafter from your own eyes first. I hear you. Positive! It is Hellenistic doctrine and it was incorporated into Christianity by a Pagan, Constantine in 325 CE. About 200 years after the death of the last apostle of Christ. False. We believe that he was buried, yes, that he was raised up on the third day according to the Scriptures 1 Corinthians 15:4. There is no word like HELLFIRE in the Holy Scriptures. Can you show me? There is no word like "RAPTURE" mentioned in the Holy Scriptures. Please, show me Jesus set it straight in John 13:35 that true Christians will have love among themselves. We do not go to war and we are one united brotherhood.
During the war Catholics in Russia killed Catholics in France. During the tribal clashes in Delta state, Redeem members from Ijaw killed Redeem members from Itsekiri. During the Nigerian civil war, Christians from Nigeria killed Christians from Biafra. If there happens to be another war in Nigeria, the man who sat beside you during the last Sunday's service might kill you and count it as a blessing from God. Muslims kill Muslims in their attacks and wars and they feel justified.
In the event of any war, your daddies, pastors or religious leaders will pray for the efficacy of your weapons to kill your fellow church members on the opposing side.
This is what we as Jehovah's Witnesses do not do. We, rather have love among ourselves. John 13:35
U r twisting nd embellishing truth with lies wch is typical of jws. The king who killed tyndale is different from the one reversed all the law against translating the scripture.

They harbour rapists and pedophilles. The only way these people can be reproved or disfellowshipped is if there are 2 or more witnesses, Even if the Victim attests to the fact that she was raped another person not present when the act was done must prove the rapist raped the victim before the perpetrator can be sanctioned.

If you report the crime to police you can be disfellowshipped or considered bad association by the organization and your loved ones will be asked to limit contact with you.

See someone talking about crimes of Constantine that only her organization teaches has not talked about the crimes in her own.

People killing themselves? They kill themselves due to blood transfusion ban. In fact their organization has killed more jws than Hitler ever did. Not to talk of the mass genocide of all non jws (religious cleansing) their Jehovah is coming to do.

No, I am not. The Church of England had always been headed by the kings. Whatever the Church did was under the command of the King. The Church of England was used by Henry III and James VI to either murder Tyndale or plagiarise his work. You should read about the Church, its leaders and its activities. The tool of operation had always rested on the shoulders of the Church of which those two men headed. If we say the British took us as slaves, does it mean that the present generation of Britons are responsible for taking our ancestors as slaves? No! The focus has always been on the country and whoever wears the crown faces the crowd. Both Henry III and James VI did things that our current legal system deems punishable. How is that twisting?

Anyone who agree Ruach means spirit in verse 21, Must face the fact that It means. Same in verse 19 too . Man and animals have same Ruach


grin U say the Father is not a man , But the Son is still a man . Differences in Nature proofs they are not equal in Nature as you claimed
the word 'Ruach' can take different meaning depending on the contextual meaning.
In verse 21 it mean Spirit because that verse is talking of what goes on after death but verse 19 is talking physical events

The Ruach therefore has different meant in each verse



Ecclesiastes 3:19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.

Both Jesus and Jehovah are called mighty God,
Jehovah is called the mighty God. The definite article used here tells there is only one Mighty God not two which further proves that Jesus is Jehovah God.

Cheap lies u r telling again. Two different kings are involved here nd u r making it seem like tyndale was killed so his work can be stolen. King Henry ordered foe the killing of tyndale in 1536 while king James approved the writing of tge king James version in 1604 wen he came into power after the death of Queen Elizabeth. A petition signed by 1000 puritan clergymen was brot before King James about the need to have another Bible in English version. He listened to both the Presbyterians and Puritans arguments and den he gave an order dat a 50 man committee comprising of the best scholars in d land be set up to translate the Bible. Tyndales work at dat time was the only English version to av translated from the greek and Hebrew language so it was part of wat the committee used... Na wa for u oo. See how u tried to twist fact just to discredit the word of God. Like i once said, its typical of jws. Compare king James Bible wit ura dT was translated by a 5 man committee... Its on Wikipedia so am not making it up. Ur society tried to hide the identity of the translators saying the glory should go to God until God exposed dem.

If u don't believe in miracles den u r serving a dead god. How den are u better than an atheist? I'd rather not be a Christian dan serve a God i can pray to wen my head aches nd can be sure of a miracle..

You have no logical membrane in your comment. I thought you would storm with a bombshell. No one ever doubted that they were both called mighty God. Making a conclusive remark based on that indicates a lack of in-depth understanding of the scriptures.
There are many titles that Jesus also shares with humans. Jesus was a man, but how does that decategorize him as a spirit?
So, a reference to Jesus as Mighty God automatically defines him as Jehovah? Does he become a biological son of Jesse because he was called the son of Jesse? He himself uttered that Jehovah is GREATER than he is. Do you know the technical implication is his choice of word? He prayed to Jehovah, he cried to him, he called him his God and clearly states the difference in his will and that of Jehovah.
Just imagine your conclusion as if you just discovered the formula for an alphabet riddle.
We will not be making a decision on articles when a name and a reference have been mentioned. Jesus said in John 17:3 that Jehovah is the only true God. Also, in John 20:17 he referred to him as his God and our God. Do you count Jesus credible at all?
1 Peter 1:3 refers to Jehovah as the God and father of Jesus Christ.
Some thoughts are riling to sanity and we must be careful. Please, read those verse in your own Bible and figure it out accordingly.
solite3:
you have just answered yourself technically.
Both Jesus and Jehovah are called mighty God,
Jehovah is called the mighty God. The definite article used here tells there is only one Mighty God not two which further proves that Jesus is Jehovah God.

I have given you an irrefutable proof of my claim, I will not compel you to accept it but at least carry out an independent research to find out the truth instead of baseless arguments.
For you questions, the point is not about if Jesus is Spirit or not but about Jesus being God don't try to spin it.
Jesus did not just share title with humans but he is a human
But Do you know that God does not give his glory with another

Isaiah 42:8 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

Jehovah does not share his glory, so Jehovah and another being cannot bear the same title.

So, a reference to Jesus as Mighty God automatically defines him as Jehovah? Does he become a biological son of Jesse because he was called the son of Jesse? He himself uttered that Jehovah is GREATER than he is. Do you know the technical implication is his choice of word? He prayed to Jehovah, he cried to him, he called him his God and clearly states the difference in his will and that of Jehovah.
Jesus was a biological son to Jesse,100%, I don't disagree that Jesus is lower than the father as a man.
I have explained to you how Jesus being called the mighty God means he is Jehovah

I m not riling to insanity because I understand what I am saying but you have to open your heart.
Do you know that Jesus never mentioned the name JEHOVAH?

Jesus is God Almighty it is written all over scripture, seek for Jesus lovingGod your confusion will be taken away.
Shalom.

hw will you reconcile John 17:5 with the glory issue contained in your post. John 17:5 clearly indicate that indeed Jehovah's glory and that of Jesus is different. Dont forget Jesus himself said this except you make Jesus a liar by saying Jesus is Almighty God. From John 17:5 Jesus is diferrent from the Father, Jehovah(Almighty God).
Who is the Almighty God, Revelation 4:9-11 answers this question. Jehovah alone has this statue.

lovingJehovah:
John 17:3 This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.

Are we not literally calling him a liar by calling him God or coequal? He calls Jehovah the ONLY TRUE GOD (ONLY). If he himself could make such strong and affirmative statement, then who are we to deify him or to make him God or God's coequal?

In John 17:21 "May they also be in us..." Does it mean that we are also God's coequal? Give me a break!

1 Corinthians 11:3 "...the head of Christ is God". Does it mean that the woman and the man are coequal? Does it mean that the man and
Christ are coequal?

Matthew 24:36 "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father".
This alone is a clear distinction between the two. They are one just as he compared the man to the woman and the man to himself. In ONE family there is the man who is placed above the woman; Jehovah and Jesus also are one in purpose as John 5:30 clearly states.


Religion confuses everyone. grin

Jesus is both man and God, as a man he is lesser than his Father. Jesus is still man in heaven, Jesus had a bodily resurrection.
Re: Is Jesus God? by Nobody: 7:32am On Dec 16, 2017
Teachings about the humanity of Christ is not common in most.churches leading to confusion and miss understanding of the bible. It is not enough to know Jesus is God but to also know that Jesus is a man, he is in fact the first of God's new creation after his resurrection from the grave. He is the High priest in heaven who entered the temple in heaven with his own blood.
Re: Is Jesus God? by jom28gy(m): 9:38am On Dec 17, 2017
