Are you serious or just acting as a miscreant?Who is vomiting nonsense between Luke who recorded the book of Act or Stephen who spoke?
Because it was recorded that the son of man (Jesus) is standing at the right hand of God! Act 7:56

Perhaps the hatred you have for the TRUTH will edit all the Bible versions in the world! smiley


ublight:

Jesus is not standing at the right hand SIDE. He is at the right hand. There is a difference.

No dey vomit nonsense

What usually confuse misinformed Churchgoers is their so called Trinity dogma. JWs know that Jesus was the person who created everything {Colossians 1:15-16}

No wonder your organization have to fraudulently inserted the word OTHER in that Colossians 1:15-16.

because Jesus will be the one who created himself.

but he was acting on the instructions from our grand Creator JEHOVAH!

Then Jehohav is lying here "CEB: The Lord your redeemer who formed you in the womb says: I am the Lord, the maker of all, who ALONE stretched out the heavens, who spread out the earth by MYSELF"

As a master Craftsman beside his God and Father {Proverbs 8:22-31}

Even in the same Proverbs God never says He used anybody to create the universe rather the same proverbs still supports the Isaiah that God created everything ALONE and by HIMSELF.

I was there when THE LORD put the heavens in place and stretched the sky over the surface of the sea. 28 I was with HIM when HE placed the clouds in the sky and created the springs that fill the ocean. 29 I was there when HE set boundaries for the sea to make it obey him, and when HE laid foundations to support the earth.

Jesus was receiving instructions on how to go about the work, we can see this at Genesis 1:1-2,

See delusions, where in that Genesis 1 it was stated that Jesus was receiving instructions to create things

That's just the figment of imagination of your lying mouth organization.

there it was revealed that God's instructions to create the heavens (spirit realm) where his spirit sons (angels) dwells wasn't difficult for Jesus who is also a spirit but when it comes to the creation of physical realms Jesus need to be guided, that's why you'll notice @ Genesis 1:3 that God was given the instructions and after Jesus has done it God still inspects the job! Genesis 1:4,31

This scripture "CEB: The Lord your redeemer who formed you in the womb says: I am the Lord, the maker of all, who ALONE stretched out the heavens, who spread out the earth by MYSELF" proofs beyond reasonable doubt that, these are just scriptures twisting because God created EVERYTHING ALONE and by HIMSELF.

So we acknowledge the part Jesus (God's only begotten son) played in all God's work but he is not the Almighty God! smiley

To acknowledge this part means you agree that Jesus is Jehovah because JEHOVAH CREATED ALL THINGS ALONE and by HIMSELF.

I know this scriptural truth will be peppering your body now!

Jesus served as God just as Moses also served {Exodus 7:1 compared to John 1:1} JEHOVAH is the one who went down to deliver the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. But both Pharaoh, his chiefs, Egyptians and all Israelites were seeing Jehovah's representative MOSES.

©Who turned the rod to snake?
©Who turned River Nile's water to blood?
©Who plagued Egypt ten times?
©Who splitted the red Sea?
Well it was JEHOVAH not Moses! Exodus 20:2 compared to John 8:28

So when JEHOVAH bestowed power on Jesus it doesn't make Jesus the Almighty because the true God will forever keep his place and position while his representatives return to their place/position! 1Corinthians 15:27-28 smiley




So when Moses served as God...how many God's did we have ? One or Two?

Okay let's use your own logic now. If Jesus is someone's right hand man, doesn't that show that there are two distinct parties/personalities involved?

Jehovah is the source of life. Psalm 36:9, Acts 17:28
He's the originator of the spark of life that makes a human conscious. Genesis 2:7

He is also the Eternal Judge and our Father. Genesis 18:25, Isaiah 33:22, James 4:12
But—Jesus helps us to understand at John 5:22 that his Father and God, Jehovah will do no judging but that authority has been delegated to him, Jesus.

So when Jesus completed his earthly conquest, he said: “All authority has been given me in heaven and earth” Matthew 28:18, see also Philippians 2:9-11
Which means that as Jehovah's subordinate and Servant(Acts 3:13), Jesus is going to rule, judge and act under God's authority because according to him, he cannot do a single thing of his own initiative so he needs a go-ahead from Jehovah before he can do anything. John 8:28

Also part of the privileges granted to him, was the authority to raise dead ones from the Grave.
In fact—while on earth—you can agree that he demonstrated this by restoring the life-force of some who died to their bodies ONLY after praying to his God in heaven. John 11:41-42
So he still has the prerogative as God's Son to rise dead ones in the future. John 5:28-29; 1Thessalonians 4:16
Since Jehovah was the one who gave the keys of death and Grave to Jesus in order to release those who are bound by death. Revelation 1:18
That's why Stephen made that appeal to Jesus for a resurrection in the sight of Jehovah.(Acts 7:59)
why will Jehovah give his glory to 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.

The book of ecclesiatics clearly attribute the power for recieving the spirit to Jehovah alone why will Jehovah give it to Jesus?

Where did you get the idea that giving authority meant sharing glory?

Of course Moses was the appointed Leader of Israel who was given authority from God and acted as mediator between Jehovah and the Israelites but on the issue of whom the Israelites were to worship and render sacred service, there was no question that exclusive devotion was reserved for Jehovah alone.(Exodus 34:14)

Jehovah never shared his glory with Moses even after he was the one(representative) who brought Israel out of Egypt, Jehovah still took all the credit for it because it was only possible through Him. Exodus 20:2

We all know what happened when Moses tried to take credit/glory for the miracle Jehovah performed through Moses at the waters of Meribah. Numbers 20:10 see also Psalm 106:32-33
It was for that reason that Aaron and Moses were prevented from entering the Promised land. Numbers 20:12

Even after Satan tried to get Jesus to worship him, he still quoted the Law and directed all worship to Jehovah. Matthew 4:10/Deuteronomy 6:13
Jesus never for once took credit for anything he did. He always directed attention to his Father and God on all occasions. Mark 10:18
Jesus said that he didn't come to seek his own glory neither did he speak of his own initiative.
John 5:40, 7:16-18, 8:50
So know that authority that was given to Jesus did not mean that Jehovah shared his glory with him since Jesus knew already that it was his Father who made it possible and that he was going to hand over back that authority to his Father, Jehovah. 1Corinthians 15:24-28

only God receives our Spirit when we die:

John 16:15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

grin Jehovah himself credited the glory of creation to Jesus
.
The glory of creation is fully and completely ascribed to Jesus.

The question remains, if Jesus is not God why will Jehovah share his glory with him?

Jehovah sworn that every kneel would brown to him and every tongue shall sware to him but this glory was given to Jesus in the new testament.

Isaiah 45:23
I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.

Philippians 2:9-11 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.


This verse also reveals that Jehovah exalted the name Jesus above the name 'Jehovah '.

This is Jehovah giving his glory to Jesus

you didn't, you couldnt explain
1a. why Stephen prayed to Jesus
1b. to recieve his Spirit instead of Jehovah and
2.the fact that Jesus shared Jehovah's glory

1a. Stephen never prayed to Jesus. The normal Greek word for “pray” is προσεύχεσθε/proseuchesthe
Acts 7:59 didn't use this word, like you make it seem. There says that Stephen “called upon” or “made an appeal” to Jesus. The Greek word that was used here was ἐπικαλούμενον/epikaloumenon

1b. I have already addressed this.

Jehovah never shared his glory with Moses even after he was the one(representative) who brought Israel out of Egypt, Jehovah still took all the credit for it because it was only possible through Him. Exodus 20:2

We all know what happened when Moses tried to take credit/glory for the miracle Jehovah performed through Moses at the waters of Meribah. Numbers 20:10 see also Psalm 106:32-33
It was for that reason that Aaron and Moses were prevented from entering the Promised land. Numbers 20:12

Even after Satan tried to get Jesus to worship him, he still quoted the Law and directed all worship to Jehovah. Matthew 4:10/Deuteronomy 6:13
Jesus never for once took credit for anything he did. He always directed attention to his Father and God on all occasions. Mark 10:18
So know that authority that was given to Jesus did not mean that Jehovah shared his glory with him since Jesus knew already that it was his Father who made it possible and that he was going to hand over back that authority to his Father, Jehovah. 1Corinthians 15:24-28

livingchrist:
you dont know how dumb you sound, by Stephen commiting his Spirit to Jesus he gave Jehovah's glory to Jesus.
Drop off your claim in the dustbin.
John 17:1-3, according to Jesus Christ

Everyone knows that Yahweh delivered Israel from Egyptian bondage.
Your claim is akin to saying that Moses is God Almighty ,na him rod open the Red Sea.
