[quote author=solite3 post=48628668][/quote]Brother, Please learn to adjust your posts right to make focusing on our discussion easier .
I read all you wrote , and I therefore identify three key points on which u based ur reply
° John 1:3 , Rev 3:14 , Colosian 1:16
- John 1:3 , the text literally reads " all came through him " and regarding this all not even one was made without him. not all things ( things was inserted by the translators ) which is why u are giving it another meaning different from the context.
Then writer explains the ALL that came through him , without which nothing was made without him in verse 10
" the World came through him " , the All that came through him without which nothing was made without him is the world of mankind .
This is different from the language in Colossians 1:16 which says All came through him , the writer here explains the All that came through him to include , heaven , earth , govt , authority , thrones , he stated what he meant by All
But at John 1:3 , the world of mankind was been referenced.
- Rev 3:14 , brother to claim Jesus is the source of Gods creation is a contradiction to the scripture , the scripture identified The Father as the source , " the Father, from whom all things came ". From indicate the source , which is the Father Jehovah . this therefore cancelled out the source / origin suggestion
Again, look at how John use the Greek word arche in his writings , its clear he used it to mean beginning , e.g john 1:1, kindly substitute source or origin and see if it makes sense .
Therefore beginning is the right meaning of arche in Rev 3:14 , that make Jesus the first work of creation by God , the beginning of his creations !
- Col 1:15 , u cite David , Manasseh , Ephraim , and isreal to illustrate how firstborn is used , but one thing is common to all , they are all part of the group to which they are associated .
David for example u said doesn't mean he is the first king , yet God called him my firstborn , the phrase " my firstborn " shows that God choose David .. But yet is David not a King too ? He is still part of the group he was associated with
Manasseh is THE firstborn , by birth .. True meaning of firstborn here , but in the case of Ephraim he was just chosen thus " MY firstborn ", but one thing is common to both .... They are both sons of Joseph! Firstborn doesn't exclude them from the group
You also mention Israel been called firstborn and you said this doesn't mean Isreal is the first country, this doesn't exclude isreal from being a country, does it ? Does it ?
why then is the firstborn of all creation not part of the group it was associated with, Creation ?
again, When the scripture said Jesus is the firstborn from the dead , does that exclude Jesus from been " dead " once ? Does it ? Is he not part that group he was associated with before his ressurection ? |

solite3: hahahaha please read this John 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. Now according to you John is wrong, All things were not made through Christ?
Do you realise what you are saying? I now realize where the problem is . both you and DoctorAlien takes "All things " in that verse to mean Everything in the universe , whereas the context doesnt support that notion . For example, when the Apostle Paul said ALL things have been subjected to Jesus Christ ! Taking it at face value , it means ALL things have been subjected to him , ALL including the Father . But logical reasoning and the context of discussion demand that , the one who subject all things to him should be excluded despite the use of ALL things . that Greek word doesn't designate absolute that context of John chapter 1 is reffering to the world of mankind into which the word comes . NOT the entire universe! " He was in THE WORLD , and the world came into existence through him, but the world did not know him " John 1:10 The context is reffering to all things that came into existence in the world of mankind into which the Word comes . The fact still remains that the word himself is the beginning of the creation by God ( Rev 3:14) , the one BORN first of all creation ! ( Col 1:15, Prov 8:22-24) |

solite3: you haven't answered my question, were there things that was not made through Christ? Don't be evasive pls Yes, Christ himself ! He was made directly by his Father ( Rev 3:14) |
Christianity Etc › Re: Debunking The Trinity Logic by CANTICLES: 11:12am On Aug 18, 2016 |
solite3: My question is simple. Did God create something without Christ? 3 All things were made through him ; and without him was not anything made that hath been made. 4 In him was life; and the life - John 1:3 Can u see the bold , when the bible said All things were made , its only a reference to those things made through he himself |

DoctorAlien: If it's not literal wisdom, what type of wisdom is it?
Quote 1 Cor. 1:30 on this thread.
The Bible clearly calls Jesus the wisdom of GOD.
Do you mean wisdom was created? Yes or No? Baseless , u can as well tell me God brought forth literally with labor pains stated in Proverb 8:23,24 is literal as if God is a woman . or know this expression means he create Wisdom personified , Jesus Christ was created ( Proverb 8:22) |

Christianity Etc › Re: Debunking The Trinity Logic by CANTICLES: 10:54am On Aug 18, 2016 |
DoctorAlien: CANTICLES,
Let's assume Prov. 8:22 was referring to Jesus. 1 Cor. 1:30 also calls Jesus the wisdom of GOD. Now, was wisdom created? Yes or No? The wisdom in those context is Jesus Christ not literal wisdom , if Jesus is the literal wisdom of God, that means when Jesus died for three days , God has no wisdom anymore. That's nonsensical if that's what u think Wisdom was personified as Jesus Christ, in this context Wisdom .. Jesus Christ was created ( prover 8:22-24) |
Christianity Etc › Re: Debunking The Trinity Logic by CANTICLES: 10:47am On Aug 18, 2016 |
DoctorAlien: Did the Bible lie in Jn. 1:3 and Col. 1:16 when it said that there was nothing created that was not created by Jesus? Jesus is not the Creator , he was doing the will of his Father! Those scriptures only emphasized that all things are made THROUGH him . see Hebrews 1:2. God made the world THROUGH his son . so the bible didn't lie , but the Father who created Jesus is clearly excluded from the all things made through Jesus |
Christianity Etc › Re: Debunking The Trinity Logic by CANTICLES: 10:42am On Aug 18, 2016 |
DoctorAlien: Go and check the Greek manuscripts, you will see that the words for "was" and "am" in that text are different.
Will you? Now, I know where your problem lies and I will dance with you .it seems whenever anyone use the word " I am " no matter the context of discussion the person must be God Almighy. I personally have used I am countless times to identify myself in many instances , I am God Almighty ? Such mentality is wrong . an angel identified himself as " I am " to Manoah and his wife , tell me is that Angel the almighty God ? |
Christianity Etc › Re: Debunking The Trinity Logic by CANTICLES: 10:38am On Aug 18, 2016 |
DoctorAlien: According to you, Jesus was created. No, according to the scriptures Rev 3:14 and Proverb 8:22 According to the Bible, there was nothing created that was not created by Jesus. (Jn. 1:3; Col. 1:16)
Now, did Jesus create Himself? Yes or No? Jesus didnt create himself , The Father create Jesus ! Simple ( Rev 3:14, Prov 8:22) ! |
Christianity Etc › Re: Debunking The Trinity Logic by CANTICLES: 10:35am On Aug 18, 2016 |
DoctorAlien: But you did not answer my question:
The correct sentence by concord in english is "Before Abraham, I was". Why did the Bible write "Before Abraham was, I am"? Hahahahaha is it the bible that write Before Abraham , I am or your translators ? Was the scripture written in english Before it was before Abraham was , I was. Nor concord has changed it to Before Abraham , I was . does that make any sense to you ? Go back and reconstruct |
Christianity Etc › Re: Debunking The Trinity Logic by CANTICLES: 10:29am On Aug 18, 2016 |
Good you now know there is someone who is higher than Jesus . and is not included in the all things made through Jesus ! DoctorAlien: And who ever said the Father was made or created? Are you now confused?
Stop dodging the question. Answer it. Have answered it , Jesus said he is the beginning of the creations of God ( his Father ) Rev 3:14 . |
Christianity Etc › Re: Debunking The Trinity Logic by CANTICLES: 10:26am On Aug 18, 2016 |
DoctorAlien: Why didn't the Bible read thus: "Before Abraham was, I was" since this is the correct sentence by the rule of concord? Sorry I can't help but laugh, before Abraham was , I was lol . bro, go check other translations and see how they worded the verse to fit the context which deals with age john 8: 57 " The Jews therefore said unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, . and hast thou seen Abraham? " |
Christianity Etc › Re: Debunking The Trinity Logic by CANTICLES: 10:16am On Aug 18, 2016 |
DoctorAlien: Address the question at hand: did Jesus create Himself? His Father create him as the beginning of his creation ( Rev 3:14 ) If no, did the Bible lie that nothing was created that was not created by Jesus, since you said Jesus was a created being? Jesus didn't create his Father , did he ? The Father is not among the all things made through Jesus  , that one create Jesus |
Christianity Etc › Re: Debunking The Trinity Logic by CANTICLES: 10:14am On Aug 18, 2016 |
DoctorAlien: "Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM. Then took they up stones to cast at him..." Jn. 8:58-59
Why did they take up stones to cast at Him? Oga, who capitalise I AM ? Your translators  Stop deceiving yourself , what Jesus is saying is before Abraham exist , he has been ! This infuriated the Jews cos they said how old is he to have exist before Abraham . its a matter of age and they call it blasphemy that someone of his age could claim to have exist before Abraham |

DoctorAlien: What is funny about the question?
The Bible unequivocally states in Jn. 1:3 and Col. 1:16 that there was nothing created that was not created by Jesus. Now, if Jesus was a created being, did He created Himself? ' the beiginning of the creation of God " Revelation 3:14 , the God there is a reference to the Father, the God of Jesus Christ . that's his Creator! |
Christianity Etc › Re: Debunking The Trinity Logic by CANTICLES: 9:55am On Aug 18, 2016 |
DoctorAlien: "All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. " Jn. 1:3
"For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:" Col. 1:16.
It is clear from the above verses that Jesus created every thing that was created. Now, if Jesus was created, did Jesus create Himself? The last question is soo funny, it make me realize u forget that there is someone Greater than Jesus , His God and Father !!! Bro, if u had read Rev 3:14 and Proverb 8:22 ..you will know He was Created by his God and Father ! |
Christianity Etc › Re: Debunking The Trinity Logic by CANTICLES: 9:52am On Aug 18, 2016 |
DoctorAlien: Who said so?
It is very clear that John was narrating in Jn. 5:18. John narrated that the Jews wanted to kill Jesus because He made Himself equal with GOD.
JESUS MADE HIMSELF EQUAL WITH GOD! Same John narrated that Jesus breaks the Sabbath, so u believe that ? U don't I will take u serious if u actually believe this too to be true! Of cos hypocrisy and doctrine will make u accept the second phrase and reject the first despite that both are coming from the same source and lack evidences |
Christianity Etc › Re: Debunking The Trinity Logic by CANTICLES: 9:40am On Aug 18, 2016 |
DoctorAlien: Yes. According to Pharisaic standards, Jesus broke the Sabbath. Lolzzz, see response , the same pharisaic standard accuse Jesus of making himself equal with God. Can you still deny that John asserted that Jesus made Himself equal with GOD? The same John documents it that the Jews want to kill Jesus because Jesus broke the Sabbath. So your hypocrisy stinks, for u to accept one accusation as pharisaic and the other as genuine Both claims are False ( John 14:28) , can you show me one single place where Jesus claim to be equal to God ? |
Christianity Etc › Re: Debunking The Trinity Logic by CANTICLES: 7:04pm On Aug 17, 2016 |
DoctorAlien: I'm sorry but it was John speaking in Jn. 5:18 and not religious leaders. Can't you see? The same verse accuse Jesus of being a sinner by declaring he breaks the Sabbath, do you believe that too ? |
Christianity Etc › Re: Debunking The Trinity Logic by CANTICLES: 6:57pm On Aug 17, 2016 |

Christianity Etc › Re: The God Of Old Testament And That Of New Testament Cannot Be The Same by CANTICLES: 7:51pm On Aug 10, 2016 |
Vendoor: The Bible God of Old Testament often command israelites his people to destroy their neighbors (Moabites, Philistines, e.t.c). Thus sayest thy Lord to the King through The prophet. Then, hundreds of Thousands of armies match into the battle field with heavy losses from both side. Sometimes, the israel God fortify his own with extra power to destroy their Neighbors. The reason because they are unbelievers and offcause, some other hidden motives.
The New Testament on the other hand suggest that God want us to love our neighbors just as we love ourselves, Thus a God of peace and love, not war. And the act of killing must be avoided at all course. Well, the bringer of the second message was brutally murder because his words did not align with God of the Old Testament. Thus, his message became a threat to the existing priestly and prophetic ordinances of israel.
Blending these two Gods together was the biggest blonder made by early christians and you trying to classify both as one today will be the most illogical conclusion you will ever arrived.
Just try it, I'm waiting! Funny, who are this two Gods ? Can you name them ? |

Only because the scriptures tells us the Sabbath is a day to rest to keep it Holy, so when Jesus healed the mans hand the Pharisees took offence to it, the Sabbath as its written in the scriptures {Genesis 2:2} {Exodus 20:8-11} Remember the Sabbath day to Keep it Holy, six days you shall labour, and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath to the Lord your God, On it you shall not do any work, you or your son, or your daughter, your male servant or your female servant.

brocab: If you knew your scriptures more clearly you would have knowing Jesus didn't pay tithes. Now understand these simple verses {Matthew 17:24-27} Now those who receive the temple tax came to Peter and said, does your teacher not pay the temple tax, "He said yes" And when Peter had come into the house Jesus asked Him saying Simon Peter, From whom to the Kings of the earth take Customs or tax, from their Sons or from Strangers? "Peter said to Him from Strangers" Jesus said to Him then the Sons are Free. "Jesus said never the less at least we offend them" go to the sea, cast a hook and the first fish that comes up take the money and give it to them for you and Me. [size=26] Matter of fact Jesus even broke the Sabbath rules, [/size] He actually healed a mans hand inside the synagogue. Of course your own countrymen the Pharisees weren't to happy about it. You should know this part about your own religious ancestors, you all wanted to murder the Christ. You did after 3 years. But He come what He came for, Jesus saved the world. I do understand why you feel Jesus didn't do enough for you-and this is why you keep Jehovah God as your main attraction, I find this always with the Atheist, I was once myself' and Jesus name never really came into assistance. But God alone. I actually thought you were the studying type-but of course I was wrong about you-I should have realised you worship a God you don't even know-and you call yourself a JW and you had already denied Charles Russell was your founder." You are more of a copywriter, without having the knowledge to study. The day of worship was on the Sabbath Saturday back then-and still many Christians today keep that day as Holy as it were. But If I was to worship on a Sunday, and I read the scriptures, to find out Sunday isn't the Sabbath day, I would find out why" and study who gave whom the authority to change the day? Yet for nearly 2000 years had past, now millions of Christians have worship on Sunday. "The Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath {Luke 6:5} Here Jesus staked His claim and forbid anyone to meddle with the Sabbath, Yet He knew their will be those who would claim the power to Change God's law. Through Daniel He warned of just such a man. Describing of a "Little horn power" {Daniel 7:8} Daniel describes he will speak against the Most High and oppress His Saints, and try to change the set times and the Laws" {Daniel 7:25} Paul made a similar prediction:" Don't let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. He will appose and will exalt himself over everything the is called God or is worshipped, so that he sets himself up in God's temple, proclaiming Himself to be God. {2 Thessalonians 2:3-7} {Here is something for you-The Pope claims he can forgive Sins} Paul warned that the blasphemy was already at work, and that is will come not from the outside influence, but from within the Church {2 Thessalonians 2:7, Acts 20:28-30} Sure enough, not long after Paul's day apostasy appeared in the Church. About a 100 years before Christianity, Egyptian, Mithraists introduce the festival of Sunday, dedicated to worshipping the Sun, into the Roman empire. Later as Christianity grew, Church leaders wished to increase the numbers of the Church. In order to make the gospel more attractive to non Christians, pagan customs were incorporated into the Church ceremonies. The custom of Sunday worship was welcomed by Christians who desired to differentiate themselves from the Jews, whom they hated because of the Jew's rejection of the savoir. The first day of the began to be recognised as both a religious and civil holiday. By the end of the second century, Christians considered it sinful to work on Sunday. The Roman emperor Constantine, a former Sun worshipper, confessed conversion to Christianity, through his subsequent actions suggest the "conversion" was more of a Political move then a genuine heart change. Constantine named himself bishop of the Catholic Church, and enacted the first civil law regarding Sunday Observance in A.D.321. Firstly this information may shoot straight over your head, but at least with this information in front of you, you dolphinheart worship a day, that the Catholic Church had designed for witnesses as yourself And if you don't know which day you should worship then I advise you to stay at home and study some of Romes history why they changed the Sabbath day, into the Sunday-History states through Pagan religion, they don't worship the SON they worship the SUN.
You want answers but you aren't prepared to read or watch them-Secondly I gave you the video so maybe you could have learned something about History, but I suppose that's to difficult for you, to even know such knowledge. I would hate to be a JW, it must be hard for you all, not allowed to study outside the Church, if the JW's are as good as they believe they are-then why do you believe in the unknown God and not Jesus Dolphinheart's Quote> does this affect the witnesses? The answer to this question yes it does, People from all walks of life are searching for the truth, and because of the many religious back grounds around the world, people are becoming more confused, and in most cases people walk the other way. You believed Jesus tithed-the truth is He didn't tithe. With all the wrong teachings around the world, people run the other way. The KJV would be the most closes to the 1611 version written bible ever made. If I had a JW at my door and a Mormon of the latter day saints at my door at the same time, what information do you believe I would receive about Jesus? None.. You don't preach it, so why should he  Sorry bro , I never knew you are this spiritually blind like the Pharisees @ bold ... Is it wrong to do good on the Sabbath ? then how exactly did Jesus broke the Sabbath rules ! I demand an explanation. |
