There are no grey areas when it comes to God's Word (Law). You are either male or female, a man or a dog, working in NNPC or not working in NNPC.

If you stop being biased and learn to be balanced, your ability to argue better will increase.

Bias, blinds the biased.

God is Spirit. Son of God, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, is Spirit. The Bible is a book compiled and translated and edited by MEN. Albeit a most profound and inspiring book, but still a book compiled by men, with lots of contradictions and inaccuracies. Example, Revelation says the stars fell to earth but now we know what stars really are, that's a most ridiculous notion.
Don't be pushed into dishonesty thinking you are defending God. You are simply being a dishonest person.
In the first creation story God created simply by speaking, which is what makes sense. If you say God formed animals from the soil, what did He form the soil from? Also in the first story man and woman were created at same exact moment, which is the only thing that makes sense. You can't have north without south simultaneously, up without down, one side of a page without the other side. Adam was provided a penis - to go into where.

Here are the texts below. Explain to us point by point what you mean

God is Adam's father {Luke 3:38} just like any right thinking father will do everything Adam needed (including pets) has been prepared before God brought in Adam.
But where some critics got it wrong is the aspect of "forming and bringing the animals to Adam"
Now Jehovah God had been forming from the ground every wild animal of the field and every flying creature of the heavens, and he began bringing them to the man to see what he would call each one; and whatever the man would call each living creature, that became its name Genesis 2:19

From the underlined it's evident that all those creatures has been there before Adam but God never gave them any name since the son for whom they were created has no yet been born so to speak. It was after his birth that God began bringing each of them to His son (Adam) to name his personal pets!

Thanks for the interest shown in our book (Bible) and may you have PEACE! smiley

There is sooo much ridiculously wrong with this I don't know where to start. You really think dinosaurs and lions were created for man? Please don't pretend to be a slowpoke. But more importantly, in the first creation story God created simply by speaking, which is what makes sense. If you say God formed animals from the soil, what did He form the soil from. Also in the first story man and woman were created at same exact moment, which is the only thing that makes sense

We should note that before you can pick interest in reading any textbook their must be a reason since textbooks aren't like romance stories or fairy tales but since most people don't know the purpose of the Bible they tend to see it just as a story book.
The Author (God) arranged this textbook in a way that the reader will enjoy it that's why the first people to read the complete Bible love it not because they enjoyed the stories. But the problem they later had is what is the reason why the Author arranged this book?
Well it was almost 2000 years after the death of the first set of believers who happens to know the inspired writers of this book that God's Son returned to this planet as a mighty spirit King to help honest hearted individuals get the sense of his father's book.
So if you've not come in contact with those given the spirit of understanding then you will continue to get annoyed at people taking this book seriously, i can see the way and manner you keep repeating the word "slowpoke" but i will implore you to calm down and let's reason together instead of taking things rashly.

There are millions of people today living the best of life throughout the earth and with the wisdom found in God's word they have settled all their racial disparities among themselves, diverted all their resources into production of food and information materials, turn away from politics and military services, they have stop the use of weapons in settling disputes and as for WARS they're saying farewell! Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3

Don't just dismiss the above as a mere assertion Sir, it's what is happening around you today as a fulfillment of God's promises to serve as evidence of God's presence in the midst of His true worshipers!

So if there's anything you don't understand just relax and start asking one after another.
Jesus is not the Almighty God but God's first spirit Son! Colossians 1:15-16

All good and well, just admit that the bible, while a most profound and inspiring book, has contradictions and inaccuracies - of course it does, having been written down, compiled, translated, edited, and tampered with by MEN, sometimes men with an agenda! It is DISHONESTY to pretend it doesn't. That's pretending to be a slowpoke!

You are not worshipping a book. Some of the purest and most ardent Christians never had the Bible. While an extremely important part of Christianity, we neither worship it nor claim it to be infallible. We belong to and are followers of an eternal Spirit, and our connection to that Spirit will stay same even if all the Bibles in the world disappeared!

First of all, a part of the bible is a compilation of book on the culture & traditions of the jewish people(the old testament), the summerians & mesopotamia.
Secondly the bible has many books/gospels that the compilators(the roman Catholic church) refused to add. Books like the Gospel of Thomas, Gospel of Judas, The Apcryphon of John, Gospel of James the just(blood brother of Jesus & his closest confidant) gospel of Mary magdalena etc. Even the roman Catholic church good news bible has more chapters than the Kings James bible. Chapter like Bel & the Dragon, Susan, Tobi & Tobiah, maccabees etc. There were Christians of 1st,2nd & 3rd century who did not have this compiled form you now call the bible. What they had were direct teachings of jesus brought by the desciples that came to their town. These Christians (known as Gnostics) believed in the allegorical interpretation of the bible rather than the literal. These Christians possessed gospels of how Jesus explained the many spiritual significance of his teachings & especially the route to resurrection and many more of his teachings that are not in the compiled form. These scriptures lay to rest the concept of trinity, in fact they counter it. These were the people the roman emperor hunted and killed as heretics in order to build a new world order (the roman Catholic church)
So do not hold 100% brief that the Bible is the word of God. So long it passed through many translations, edit & copies; and as long as a group of people judged which Gospels should make it up or not then its probably more of a collection of works, teachings which still need to be scrutinised.

Well Jesus said:

And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. Holy Bible

Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. NIV

And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. RSV

This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ. NWT

Without entering too much into your shit filled bias and stupidity, when we say "it is raining cats and dogs", don't tell me you went outside looking to see the cats and dogs falling down!

When I think about it, I see you must have stupidly gone outside to see cats and dogs rain down. O, what a generation of Fools.

Moses was God {Exodus 7:1} he foretold that the God of Israel will raise up another prophet like himself {Deuteronomy 18:15-18} Apostle Peter confirmed that Jesus is the prophet who came in the manner of Moses {Act 3:22} so Jesus can't be the Almighty God since he himself openly declared that he was sent by the Almighty God {John 17:3} therefore it is clear that Jesus is also a God like Moses! smiley

How many "Gods" exactly do JW have??!! What sort of monotheism do you practice??
See, this is what happens when you try to manipulate a fairly simple fact: The Spirit Jesus Christ, is part of the God head, unlike the prophets who were only God's messengers. That's why he could forgive sins and say the father was in Hiim and He in the father!

I quote where the Bible referred to Moses as God! Exodus 7:1

Check any Bible version of your choice and try to refute this fact.

Then the second highlighted where you typed "Godhead" can you quote any Bible verse that says Jesus is part of some Dogheads? cheesy

Simple: The question every reasonable person asks is "What does the writer mean?

The mere fact that it is not easy to decipher, does not give any one any right to say anything against him, most especially as the he has not supplied the meaning.

Every reasonable person would have asked what it means and IN THE ABSENCE OF AN ANSWER, WAIT TO SEE IF HIS STATEMENT, WILL BE REVEALED.

THIS EXACTLY HOW LECTURES TAUGHT, AND MANY A TIME, THE ANSWERS TO OUR QUESTIONS CAME VERY MUCH LATER IN THE FUTURE.

I also play this "its raining cats and dogs" on young children to see how long they would break it's meaning and most of them never get the answer even after 2 weeks. That tells you everything.

In that case discussion will not be possible, if we have to wait for people to tell us their own particular meanings and definitions. Because they may say what they mean by "no" is "yes" - that "no" is how they say "yes"! The statement is unambiguous - "stars will fall to earth as figs fall from a tree" Obviously because stars look to us like things that can fall to earth!

The Moses statement is very clear. Michael Jordan was called god of basketball. Doesn't mean he is a god. That's why there is a qualifier - "to pharaoh".
There is no qualifier to Christ's Godship.
"Let US make man in our image"
"The Word was GOD"

"And the Lord said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh:.."

Who gave Jesus power to forgive sin?

So if Jesus prayers were eventually answered and his disciples are in God just like Jesus and God are in each other, does it mean that the disciples are now part of Godhead?

Did Jesus have to be in Godhead before he could be in his Father?

Who gave Jesus power to forgive sin?

So if Jesus prayers were eventually answered and his disciples are in God just like Jesus and God are in each other, does it mean that the disciples are now part of Godhead?

Did Jesus have to be in Godhead before he could be in his Father?

No one had to give him the power. He simply had it, that's the whole point.

Do you see anyone remotely implying that any of these people is God? There are a whole set of characteristics and behaviors that point to Christ's divinity. These two are just SOME of them!
WHO ELSE do you know said "I am the way"? Every other major religious leader shows you the way. And they all had more money and societal influence than Christ. Study Christ's words, they are not like the words of other prophets.

And who saved Jesus when he needed help?
Hebrews 5:7 smiley

Don't know what you mean. I think you quoted wrong.

Besides, Hebrews is a letter written by St. Paul to th Hebrews - the same St. Paul that was all about the divinity of Christ

Okay.

Matthew 28:18
[18]Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth.

Who gave Jesus the authority?

Acts of the Apostles 2:36
[36]“So let everyone in Israel know for certain that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, to be both Lord and Messiah!”

Who made him lord and Messiah?

Hebrews 1:4
[4]This shows that the Son is far greater than the angels, just as the name God gave him is greater than their names.

Who gave Jesus the greater name?

Philippians 2:9
[9]Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor
    and gave him the name above all other names,

Who elevated him and gave him the name?

You know nothing bout Jesus bro cheesy

I leave you two with this, be honest with yourselves: Other major religious leaders talked like men dealing with God.
While Lord Jesus, a carpenter with neither money nor influence, talked like he was God.

Mathew quote is equivalent to "I have all authority..."
Everything else you quoted is from St. Paul, a fanatic about Christ's divinity.
