sacajawea:

JW girls do not date fellow JW members and they date only with a view to marriage what is she doing with you then?

That's not true Sir!

We are all humans and most times we may be tempted to obey our fleshly desire, so anybody can be a victim of flesh most especially when you don't open up as regards your problems to those taking the lead in the Christian congregation. James 5:13-15

So such a person may become a slave to his fleshly desires and carried away with lust. But what most unbelievers don't know is the fact that sex is to be enjoyed by both parties, some felt they're taking advantage of the females they're sleeping with, whereas in most cases it's the other way way round! undecided

There are females who also love tasting different sizes of manhood to satisfy their sexual urges, in such a case the lady might be the one enjoying your body while she is on the lookout for a husband!

So when some guys finds such a female in the midst of God's people, they felt they're cheating or riding her but she's just having the fun of her life, when it's time to settle for marriage, such a guy is the last person on her list!

God bless you! smiley

Context madam. Context.
Jesus is God. Jehovah is God. One is referred to as mighty, while the other is almighty. Both are God's.
Read your bible very well with an open mind.The bibble said God is not a man(Numbers 23:19),then Hosea 11:9 for I am God and not a man check this verses too Acts 2:22,Acts 17:31.I still maintain my stands with the JWs

The highlighted is what made most of this people tagged me as their enemies, the first time i joined Nairaland i just wanted to be part of the fun as they were making jest of Jehovah's Witnesses but when i realized that these guys criticising JWs are arguing blindly i tried to correct them to stay focused and be consistent with their comments only for them to turn against me.

That's when i began asking them questions that i've asked JWs without any fear, and instead of responding with points backed up with scriptures they began insulting me. Then i realized that they are just hypocritically arguing blindly they have nothing to offer! smiley

The title is what's confusing them!

For instance America controls the whole world today, they appoint whoever will be your President, if the people in that country objects they can't have peace because America will continue to support those sabotaging their effort.
But America is ruled by one President while those they're controlling also have their own President, but you and i know for sure that Donald Trump has more power than Buhari, yet both of them are called:

President! 1Corinthians 15:26-28

First of all, moses was as/like God to pharaoh. Don't try to fool yourself. Even NWT speak of moses as/like God not God.

But let's just agree that when Jesus was God, Jehovah was too just as when Moses was as/like God, Jehovah was God too.

Something funny here Rozz.......



Numbers 23:17 God is not a mere man who tells lies, Nor son of man who changed his mind. When he says something will he not do it? When he speaks will he not carry it

The above to show that GOD IS NOT A MAN and supported it with Hosea 11:9

Acts 2:22 Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs that God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know

Same applies to Acts 17:31 which I believed you cited to indicate Jesus is a MAN. Very interesting.

The above to show that JESUS is a MAN

Then the below.......
.

At least you AGREE JESUS is a Man? Did Jesus tell lies? If No is the answer, does that qualify Jesus AS GOD

After all it is only man that tell lies and a man that tell lies cannot be GOD. But this particular Man don't tell lies, is HE GOD?

No, I am not trying to interpret the BIBLE in a way that suits me. Mere men that tell lies are sometimes referred to as GOD how much a man in this case JESUS who don't tell lies. Na reason we dey try reason together.

As you said you want to keep READING. Its good, REASONING SKILLS must be sharpened one way or the OTHER.

I agree. And some translations like the New World Translation by the JWs are deliberated designed to fit their doctrines.

It's the problem of worship that's causing the arguments Sir.

Any person God used as his representative is not to be worshiped! John 20:17

This is still diversionary. The question I asked or discuss wasn't about whether Jesus should be worshipped or not. You are just attacking a different subject.

Attention Rozz,
hope you are noticing how he is about to shift the discussion now. First was to place moses in the same Godship as Jesus and Jehovah. Now, when I reminded him that moses was never God but was made as/like God. Its was more of representative role than an actual thing, now he is diverting attention without acknowledging it.

Even his bible New World Translation clearly states it so. But he is simply ignoring it, hoping that I forget it while he forges ahead to introduce a different topic into the talk.

There is no difference between the two Sir it's the translators that's using capital and small letters to distinguish them.

What matters is that there is one Almighty God 'Jehovah' who designated his representatives to act as Gods in the midst of humans, but these representative always direct all worship to Jehovah NOT to themselves! smiley

OK, I'll ignore whether it is God or god. So if Jehovah is one almighty God, what sort of God is Jesus and Moses?
