Not really! The deal is that I have been on the other side just like you and eventually embraced the JW because we searched the scriptures and saw the light. My grandparents were staunch voodooists. My father was a good Catholic who accepted voodoo. I come from that line of thought, especially Catholicism.
I am well grounded in many doctrines but the Bible is my power. My relatives abhor the JW like toxic fleas and I can get it because I was on the other side years ago. I approach them and we get on really fine but religion is the thin line between us.
I have friends who have an even cruel ideology about the JW but we still hang out and enjoy some coffee.

With that in mind, I do not condemn or judge. Believe me, I do not have the right to do that. I speak what I know is proven and justified. Not to judge but to share.

If you followed me closely, you would have noticed that I only speak against a few verses. The Bible contains over 31,000 verses and out of all, I pick out a handful that is actually spurious. It is left for you to ensure that you know what you believe in for real. The interest has to come from you out of love for God to dig deeper like the Bereans.

i understand you and i appreciate your honesty most of the time and how u tackle questions instead of avoiding dem like some ppl. But u still avnt been able to convince me as to why you think the word cristos can be replaced with Jehovah or why u think it was inserted. U believe the canon of scripture as compiled by the Christian fathers but u do not believe the words in dem, does dat make sense? There are a lot of writings dat would av been qualified to fit into d bible but these Christian fathers selected the canons and dat is d same canon u r using but u do not believe the words in dem.. Why?

I will send you the account number of an Orphanage so that you will start paying school fees there.

I am tired of teaching a grown man elementary things and I guess if you pay for them you would appreciate them more

Look! Quoting me invariably does not work at all. follow one line of conversation. You cannot jump into my conversation rudely and expect me to catch up. We have no line of thought in that direction and my responses might not blend in. If you want to converse with me, stay on a particular line of thought with me.

You are jumping into my conversation with someone else without proper knowledge of how we get there. You do not follow up that way. You can quote neutrally and if I feel the need to give an answer, I would.

So, stay in a line of thought with me or be consistent if you want a conversation.

You ubiquitous comments are unsavoury.

of course there were Christians from both Jewish and gentile backgrounds but was the letter written to the jews or to the church?
Re: Is Jesus God? by Nobody: 5:33pm On Jan 12, 2018
The Scriptures do at times personify the Holy Spirit, but this does not prove that the Holy Spirit is a person.



Proverbs 1:20 "True wisdom cries aloud in the street. It keeps raising its voice in the public squares". Romans 5:21 To what end? So that just as[b] sin ruled as king[/b] with death, so also[b] undeserved kindness might rule as king[/b] through righteousness leading to everlasting life through Jesus Christ our Lord

You may wonder how the above happens. They cannot literally happen but they have practical significances to those who have discernment.

Psalm 33:6 By the word of Jehovah the heavens were made, And by the spirit of his mouth everything in them.

You can see from the above that his breathe is the spirit; his force.

The spirit can also mean an angel.
1 Kings 22:21 Then a spirit came forward and stood before Jehovah and said, ‘I will fool him.’ Jehovah asked him, ‘How will you do it?’

I said that the holy spirit is God's active force.

What about your doctrines on not joining military, not voting,refusing blood transfusion, shunning, reporting number of hours preached on paper, not celebrating birthdays, not celebrating Christmas, easter,new year,Thanksgiving, memorial, national holidays, saying your organization is the only way to salvation, calling your organization the truth,the way and the life, saying those 7 old men in new York are the only means of communication between God and man today, baptising people in the name of a spirit directed organization, judicial committee, governing body, the list is endless?

Remove the log in your eyes before you remove the spec in someone else's eye.
You don't judge but your organization has judged all religions as false. You don't judge yet you preach that billions of non jws will die in Armageddon and vultures will eat their corpses in your new system.
Stop lying.
This is where he is heading to all this while @removetheturban. These are his type of discussion. Yet he "keeps missing the point" and that is where true danger lies. He is a simply not in tandem. He is "parroting" as well.
Re: Is Jesus God? by Nobody: 6:00pm On Jan 12, 2018
Thanks for the compliment. I really appreciate it especially coming you. And, I do appreciate your comments as well. Thank you for holding it down. It takes a brave mind to do that with such sanity. Most people would have gone violent and aggressive but you still play it mature and spiritual.

concerning those men who preserved the word of God for us, we are truly grateful to them and we give the glory to our father, Jehovah. We actually cover many of these men in our watchtower and awake articles. Nevertheless, not that we refute all works but due to intense research and study, we have been able to unearth the disparity in some versions of the Bible. I want you to understand that there is a difference between version and translation. Many of the Bibles that you see today are simply versions and not Bible translations.
Our NWT is called The New World [b]Translation [/b]and not version because we went right from the beginning to get accuracy and not copy verbatim from an existing work. Since 1611 when the KJV was released, (though hugely copied from Tyndale's work and other existing versions. The major difference is the simple English and grammar) many things have been discovered. Most notable is the dead sea scroll found in 1947. That was about 70 years ago. This evidently calls for editing of some Bible versions but they are adamant to the discovery.

It depends on the actual Greek text that you are using. Believe me, some verses are either inserted or corrupted. This is an effort to cover a mistake or initiate a deviation. This actual verse does not have Jesus in it. I posted a few other verses that the word Kristo was also added. We do not have a problem with Jesus and we do not believe that he is equal with the father.
The truth is that kristo was never there in that verse. What was there was Kyrios (Lord) and if you dig deeper you will find it. Proper research will prove this to you. This is why I sent you other Pentecostal and Catholic Bibles that did not honor the inclusion of the name, Jesus in that verse.

Yeah! I have kept him tamed for a while now. He cannot stay on a topic. He is just ubiquitous on all topics at the same time. He only dragged me when I newly came on here. He will not have a second opportunity to drag me that low anymore. Whatever topic he wants to discuss, I accept but no zig-zagging on this thread anymore. He must stay on a topic with me.

Re: Is Jesus God? by Nobody: 6:28pm On Jan 12, 2018
Again, I want you to know that we are not the only ones who have spotted this discrepancy and made the changes.

Based upon some evidence, many Bible translators have felt that the divine name should be restored when they translate the New Testament.

For example, many African, American, Asian, and Pacific-island language versions of the New Testament use the divine name, Jehovah liberally. Some of these translations have appeared recently, such as the Rotuman Bible (1999), which uses the name Jihova 51 times in 48 verses of the New Testament, and the Batak-Toba version (1989) from Indonesia, which uses the name Jahowa 110 times in the New Testament. The divine name has appeared, too, in French, German, and Spanish translations. For instance, Pablo Besson translated the New Testament into Spanish in the early 20th century. His translation uses Jehová at Jude 14, and nearly 100 footnotes suggest the divine name as a likely rendering.

Below are some examples of English translations that have used God’s name in the New Testament:

A Literal Translation of the New Testament . . . From the Text of the Vatican Manuscript, by Herman Heinfetter (1863)

The Emphatic Diaglott, by Benjamin Wilson (1864)

The Epistles of Paul in Modern English, by George Barker Stevens (1898)

St. Paul’s Epistle to the Romans, by W. G. Rutherford (1900)

The Christian’s Bible—New Testament, by George N. LeFevre (1928)

The New Testament Letters, by J.W.C. Wand, Bishop of London (1946)

I will send you the account number of an Orphanage so that you will start paying school fees there.

I am tired of teaching a grown man elementary things and I guess if you pay for them you would appreciate them more

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

Look! Quoting me invariably does not work at all. follow one line of conversation. You cannot jump into my conversation rudely and expect me to catch up. We have no line of thought in that direction and my responses might not blend in. If you want to converse with me, stay on a particular line of thought with me.

You are jumping into my conversation with someone else without proper knowledge of how we get there. You do not follow up that way. You can quote neutrally and if I feel the need to give an answer, I would.

So, stay in a line of thought with me or be consistent if you want a conversation.

I do not call Catholicism bad. I have friends and family relatives who are Catholics. I am only talking about some doctrines that are not in concordance with the Bible. I didn't mention Catholicism. I said that we came out of Babylon the great. Do not feel judged as a Catholic. My job is not to judge any religion, but to preach the message of God. I only refute doctrines that I am not agreeable with.
you just called a group of people and their belief Babylon the great, yet you still say you don't think Catholicism is bad?

John 1:18
King James Bible
No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
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.

Again, I want you to know that we are not the only ones who have spotted this discrepancy and made the changes.

Based upon some evidence, many Bible translators have felt that the divine name should be restored when they translate the New Testament.

For example, many African, American, Asian, and Pacific-island language versions of the New Testament use the divine name, Jehovah liberally. Some of these translations have appeared recently, such as the Rotuman Bible (1999), which uses the name Jihova 51 times in 48 verses of the New Testament, and the Batak-Toba version (1989) from Indonesia, which uses the name Jahowa 110 times in the New Testament. The divine name has appeared, too, in French, German, and Spanish translations. For instance, Pablo Besson translated the New Testament into Spanish in the early 20th century. His translation uses Jehová at Jude 14, and nearly 100 footnotes suggest the divine name as a likely rendering.

Below are some examples of English translations that have used God’s name in the New Testament:

A Literal Translation of the New Testament . . . From the Text of the Vatican Manuscript, by Herman Heinfetter (1863)

The Emphatic Diaglott, by Benjamin Wilson (1864)

The Epistles of Paul in Modern English, by George Barker Stevens (1898)

St. Paul’s Epistle to the Romans, by W. G. Rutherford (1900)

The Christian’s Bible—New Testament, by George N. LeFevre (1928)

The New Testament Letters, by J.W.C. Wand, Bishop of London (1946)

All your references from the 19th century sef. Mtcheww with all your noise here I thought you were going to quote something that the first Century Christians used.
You even reference work done by people you consider pagans.

These people did not use Jehovah 237 times in the new testament. They did not put Jehovah where cristos was found in the original Greek manuscript. They put Christ, Messiah or Lord. You decided to put Jehovah to remove all Glory attached to Jesus.

You ended up avoiding the particular question she asked you because you are shocked and can't believe your bible contains spurious insertions

Thanks for the compliment. I really appreciate it especially coming you. And, I do appreciate your comments as well. Thank you for holding it down. It takes a brave mind to do that with such sanity. Most people would have gone violent and aggressive but you still play it mature and spiritual.

concerning those men who preserved the word of God for us, we are truly grateful to them and we give the glory to our father, Jehovah. We actually cover many of these men in our watchtower and awake articles. Nevertheless, not that we refute all works but due to intense research and study, we have been able to unearth the disparity in some versions of the Bible. I want you to understand that there is a difference between version and translation. Many of the Bibles that you see today are simply versions and not Bible translations.
Our NWT is called The New World [b]Translation [/b]and not version because we went right from the beginning to get accuracy and not copy verbatim from an existing work. Since 1611 when the KJV was released, (though hugely copied from Tyndale's work and other existing versions. The major difference is the simple English and grammar) many things have been discovered. Most notable is the dead sea scroll found in 1947. That was about 70 years ago. This evidently calls for editing of some Bible versions but they are adamant to the discovery.

It depends on the actual Greek text that you are using. Believe me, some verses are either inserted or corrupted. This is an effort to cover a mistake or initiate a deviation. This actual verse does not have Jesus in it. I posted a few other verses that the word Kristo was also added. We do not have a problem with Jesus and we do not believe that he is equal with the father.
The truth is that kristo was never there in that verse. What was there was Kyrios (Lord) and if you dig deeper you will find it. Proper research will prove this to you. This is why I sent you other Pentecostal and Catholic Bibles that did not honor the inclusion of the name, Jesus in that verse.

The other translations did not use the word God. They used either Christ, Messiah or Lord. Why insert Jehovah when kyrios doesn't mean Jehovah isn't that a spurious insertion? Your bible is corrupted yet you accuse other translations for this crime.
Your religion amazes me. How they can lie and twist words and force you to swallow without asking questions is incredible. Their followers are indeed robots
