TheBedWench:TheBedWench : There was never a Paul But you feel okay quoting 1Corinthians written by the same Paul abi? So who would wake up from his slumber now? |
Acehart:@the highlighted, do you know more than Moses and Jesus—two of divinely inspired representatives of Jehovah? Please read Deuteronomy 6:4 and Mark 12:29. Let's know whether they(being inspired of Jehovah's spirit) agree with the highlighted—or whether you're the one who's trying to make out what's not there. Oh and I do apologize for sounding “AGGRESSIVE”—as you earlier put it though. Just that when our faith as JWs(true Christians) is challenged, the Bible advises us to “stand firm” in the truth we have learned and defend our faith—1Corinthians 16:13; Ephesians 6:14; 1Peter 3:15 |
Maximus69:They think growing spiritually means setting standards for yourself without consulting the Scriptures and asking for God's holy spirit (Luke 11:13, 2Timothy 3:16) They don't know what it means to live by Bible standards/principles. They don't know why Jehovah's Witnesses are being hated and lied against all the time because Jehovah's Witnesses choose to align/adjust their lifestyle/thinking to Bible standards. (John 15:19-20) That's why I said Acehart hasn't met, sat down and discussed heart to heart with a JW before else he wouldn't be making such conclusions. |
Maximus69:I was beginning to think Acehart was sensible. I didn't know he was feeling threatened and intimidated all this while. ![]() |
Acehart:That's not the case at all sir. Since my replies were delicate—you felt intimidated and had no other choice but to label me derivative. I don't think you've met Jehovah's Witnesses upfront to know whether they apply Bible teachings in their lives or not. That's the crux of the matter, Mr Acehart. |
@Acehart, Your first mistake was to tell me my words are unoriginal. I'm not saying I know too much—but if you need me to properly school you on the Bible via video call I will gladly do it—so that we will see whether the words I speak are mine or not. |
Acehart:And here I imagined you were a straightforward individual. So because my words are so flavoured—blended in and out with Scriptural knowledge, you dare go ahead and label all I've said unoriginal? Mr Acehart, you don't have to feel intimidated when Jehovah's Witnesses discuss deeply from the Bible —because you've not even met the very mature Christians among us. So please make no mistake, all I wrote above are my own words—none of the sentences above were picked up from any website sir. It's just how I type—a bit structured. Besides, any other one of Jehovah's Witnesses will explain stuff the same way I did—perhaps even better. There are mature Christians among us who will do better. I don't see the need why you'll come up with such a conclusion. I end by saying God is One and He has always been one. The most important question is: Have you been washed in the Blood of the Lamb? Are you living a Holy and Righteous life? You have no need to answer those questions.Well since you already said I don't have to, I guess that settles it—but know that I'm not answerable to you. Have a lovely time wherever you are.And you too, Mr Acehart. |
solite3: ![]() Below contains the wrong assertion you made—all you ever say is wrong btw solite3:Let's assume that Solite3's other name is Sodark3. Is Sodark3 the same as Solite3? Yes. Because Solite3=Sodark3 That's what you asserted at the above. Stop all these childish lies as more is expected from you. You can see this useless trinity god is just spinning you left and right because you've refused to come and know the only true God, Jehovah AND his Son, Jesus Christ.—John 17:3 |
Maximus69:If Jehovah God decides not to follow his own standards, nobody in heaven or earth can do anything about it. But he is not a tyrant, that's why he follows his own standards reminding us that the way of Jehovah is perfect, righteous and He is an upright God — Deuteronomy 32:4 |
According to the World Christian Encyclopedia, there are some “10,000 distinct religions worldwide.” Because conflicts between them have led to untold hurt, the concept of interfaith brings hope to many worshippers. They believe that it can engender peace and unity in a divided world. The Bible encourages unity. The apostle Paul likened the Christian congregation to a human body, each member being “harmoniously joined together and being made to cooperate.” (Ephesians 4:16) Similarly, the apostle Peter urged his fellow believers: “All of you be like-minded.”—1 Peter 3:8. The early Christians lived in a multicultural and multireligious world. Yet, when writing about the mingling of different religions, Paul asked: “What portion does a faithful person have with an unbeliever?” Then he warned Christians to “get out from among them.” (2 Corinthians 6:15, 17) Clearly, Paul was speaking against interfaith. Why did he do so? The apostle explained that spiritual fellowship between one who is a true Christian and one who is not would be an uneven yoke, a misfit. (2 Corinthians 6:14) It could result only in harm to the Christian’s faith. Paul’s concerns were like those of a father who knows that some children in his neighborhood behave badly. As a concerned parent, he wisely sets limits on whom his child should play with. His restrictions may be unpopular. Under the circumstances, however, being separate would protect his child from bad influences. Similarly, Paul knew that separate from other religions would protect Christians against their harmful practices. In taking that stand, Paul was imitating Jesus. While Jesus set the greatest example in promoting peace among people, he did not practice interfaith. Many religious groups, such as the Pharisees and the Sadducees, were active during Jesus’ earthly ministry. In fact, these religious factions joined forces to challenge Jesus, going as far as to plot his death. Jesus, on the other hand, directed his followers to “watch out . . . for the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”—Matthew 16:12. What about today? Is the Bible’s warning against interfaith still valid? Yes, it is. This is because differing religious beliefs cannot bond through interfaith any more than oil and water can mix simply by putting them together in a pot. For instance, when people of different religions come together to pray for peace, which god is being petitioned? Christendom’s Trinitarian God? Hinduism’s Brahma? The Buddha? Or someone else? The prophet Micah foretold that “in the final part of the days,” people from all nations would say: “Come, you people, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will instruct us about his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” (Micah 4:1-4) The result would be peace and unity on a worldwide scale, not because all faiths are somehow joined, but because all people accept the one true faith.

Acehart When I said Jehovah doesn't go above the standards he set, you should've asked what I meant rather running straight to conclusions. Why do you think Jesus Christ(Michael), the firstborn and only begotten Son of Jehovah God had to come down to the earth to give his life on the torture stake? After Adam sinned, he lost his perfect life and brought upon sin and death to all of us (Romans 5:12) Why didn't Jehovah just say “I'll forgive the children of Adam and make all of them perfect” just like that? Because of his own principle he follows: “A life for a life”—Exodus 21:23 All of us—Adam's descendants are imperfect so none of us can redeem/rescue ourselves from slavery to sin and death—Psalm 49:7-9 So Jesus had to offer up his own perfect life as a ransom on the torture stake to make up for the perfect life that Adam had but lost.—Matthew 20:28, 1Corinthians 15:47, 1Timothy 2:5,6 So that by just exercising faith in Jesus, we can be redeemed from sin and death, have a good conscience and later on, gain everlasting life—John 3:16, 6:40, Romans 6:23, 1John 5:13 That's just one example, there are others. |
Acehart:Perhaps you should ask those who get involved with politics. As for me, I'm interested in practical skills acquisition and onsite jobs. ![]() No man will ever be saved by the preaching of doctrine of the trinity or unity. If one glories in the belief of the trinity or the unitary of God, he glories in a vain thing. John 3:16 didn’t have as an addendum a clause stating that the belief of the trinity or unitary is necessary for salvation. (Praise the Lord). However, the right belief is necessary so that our joy may be full. We differ in doctrine, because we are members of the House of God - strangers don’t bicker endlessly.Good, nobody will be saved by believing in the trinity doctrine so why we still dragging this out then? Knowing the REAL truth about who Jehovah God and Jesus are, is vital for one to gain everlasting life. John 17:3 “This means everlasting life , their coming to know you, the only true God[Jehovah], and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.” Again, the ‘AND’ conjunction is present indicating a demarcation in personalities. How this is not clear to some people though, is what I can't fathom. God is omnipotent, we all agree. If God is omnipotent, does He have the power to change His celestial nature to a terrestrial nature? If God is just, can He judge the whole world if He is not objective? I mean: can He rightly judge anyone if He has not got all the facts and evidence, to see things for Himself? If He must get these facts, should He come down in bodily form just as He did to Sodom and Gomorrah?Jehovah is rightly the all-powerful God. But in this case, the concept of an omnipotent God suggests that he can just act anyhow without following his own procedure/standards/protocol. As for Genesis 18, the men who visited Abraham were Jehovah's angels—not Jehovah God himself. How do we truly know they were all angels? Well about 1,900years later, the apostle Paul wrote that some[Abraham and Sarah] unknowingly entertained ANGELS [Paul did not say God materialised, but rather angels] in their home—Hebrews 13:2. The scriptures are consistent when it says that “NO MAN HAS SEEN JEHOVAH GOD AT ANY TIME” —Exodus 33:17,20; John 1:18 The angels materialised to become men, just as the rebellious angels did in Noah's day—it was an ability/privilege angels had. Jehovah God doesn't need to come down from his heavenly throne when he has “myriads and myriads” of angels he can send on errands. (Daniel 7:10; Revelation 5:11) The angels were sent to inspect Sodom and Gomorrah and get the full facts whether the city actually carried on in brazen conduct—something detestable to Jehovah. Well on the first night there, in Lot's home, the allegations proved to be true when all the males of the city requested to have sex with the materialised angels. It was after this was established, that “fire and sulfur” was rained down on Sodom and Gomorrah by Jehovah. |
Acehart:I'm an engineer not a lawyer, sir! |
Maximus69: ![]() He now said he was leading me as if na game we come play. |
Acehart:OK OK You're putting out too much information making it difficult for me to reply. I'll reply to what I can. As for GOT, yeah sure. But why initially compare to that series and then switch lanes and make it contrast from what you initially proposed? In what way was Eddard Stark the same person as the king Robert Baratheon? This scenario is the perfect one to illustrate—since Jesus was at God's right hand before assuming kingship in God's Kingdom, how can you still go ahead and claim he is the Almighty God? ![]() |
WizzyVine:When Jesus said “his disciples will be ONE just as he[Jesus] and his Father, Jehovah are ONE”, what do you think He meant? ![]() John 17:21-23—verse 22 especially “I have given them the glory that you have given me, in order that they may be ONE just as we are ONE.” Please can you explain what Jesus meant here? ![]() Were the disciples to form one mishmash of personalities and turn to an unnamed trinity god too? ![]() Or did Jesus say his disciples will be in agreement and united in thought just as he and his Father are?—1Corinthians 1:10, Ephesians 4:3, Philippians 2:2 You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you freeIndeed when you know the truth about John 10:30, you'll be set free from all useless religious doctrines. ![]() |
elated177:That one is your business, elated177. |
Acehart:Yours is the only reasonable comment I can reply to But I see you're only dragging the matter sha but OK Guess this is your own definition of a triune god? why then do you say Christ Jesus isn’t deity?What's the definition of a deity? It simply means a “god” or “godess” The Bible rightly called men “gods”—Psalm 82:6, John 10:34,35 Jehovah God bestowed authority on Moses to be God before Pharaoh—Exodus 4:16, 7:1 So it's not a big deal, Jesus Christ is godlike/divine in nature and so are the other angels in heaven but none of them compare to the Jehovah the Almighty God (Genesis 17:1, Revelation 15:3) Then, you have said that there is nowhere in the scriptures where Jesus is referred to as “The One”; this is “true”; I’d like to ask you if there is anywhere in the scriptures where the Father is referred to as “The One”? (Please note the word “Father” is a New Testament concept)I've already provided Scriptures for all those already — Isaiah 41:14, 43:12, 48:17, Daniel 7:13, Revelation 21:5. @the underlined, no I will not note that because the term “Father” is not exclusive to just the New Testament. Please see Isaiah 63:16 and 64:8 and douse your thirst. The Jews have always known that the One Jehovah, is plural; hence their fury at Jesus’ claim to be one of the conglomerate.I'm not sure I understand this clearly. The Bible reveals that the Jews have always known their God to be one and one alone—Deuteronomy 6:4, 1Corinthians 8:6, 1Timothy 2:5 @Mark 12:32, Jesus himself debunked all claims/falsehoods saying that God is a three-in-one. Please read that verse. As for the italicised, the Jews were furious at Jesus for allegedly making himself “God's Son” —John 10:36. It was the dubious Jews at John 5:18 who misunderstood the whole thing and said Jesus called himself God hence the air was cleared at John 10:36. Why did Stephen pray to the Son? If Stephen’s testimony is true, why shouldn’t we accept that the Son of Man stands in the place of God? Why did he describe this Son of Man as the Glory of God - the one who spoke to Moses in the bush - Moses’ coming prophet - the Righteous one the prophet’s spoke of - the one whom he prayed to?Acts 7:55-56 “But he, being full of holy spirit, gazed into heaven and caught sight of God’s glory and of Jesus standing at God’s right hand, and he said: “Look! I see the heavens opened up and the Son of man standing at God’s right hand.” The verse clearly reads “of God's glory AND of Jesus”—the ‘AND’ conjunction indicating a demarcation. From programming, God's glory !== Jesus And where was Jesus situated at?—God's right hand. That's right, by the side of Jehovah God and that's why he could tell Jesus to receive his spirit. Knowing that anything he asks in Jesus' name would be answered—John 15:16. Stephen knew this, and God being present then, he was invariably making his petition known to Jehovah his God—through Jesus(Philippians 4:6) Isaiah said to Jerusalem “Behold your God will come...like a shepherd” -He said this referring to Christ Jesus. Christ Jesus has always made it clear to all around him that He is not alone, and thought no robbery to ascribe the Godhead to himself alone (Philli. 2:6).Jehovah God himself is the Shepherd who cares for his sheep (Jeremiah 31:10) But he has ascribed power and authority to his Son, Jesus Christ so that he[Jesus] intercedes in our behalf and therefore is the “fine shepherd” of the Christian congregation — Matthew 28:18, John 10:11, Ephesians 5:23, Hebrews 13:20 Elders in the Christian congregation have also been assigned to “shepherd the flock of God” — 1Peter 5:2 As for Philippians 2:5-9, we've already established that Jesus was godlike/of divine nature/spirit form before he came to the earth(John 1:1, Colossians 1:15-17, Revelation 3:14), that's why that scripture said he was in “God's form” and so are the rest of the angels in heaven (Psalm 104:4) It's just like saying because Adam was made in God's image, that somehow made him Jehovah God? Is that what you're saying? Mind you, the word “Godhead” appears a total number of ZERO time(s) in both the Hebrew/Greek Scriptures so I don't see why you're bringing it up in our discussion. |
Eagban:Let's expand that John 10:33-36 Verse 33: The Jews answered him: “We are stoning you, not for a fine work, but for blasphemy; for you, although being a man, make yourself a god.” Verse 34: Jesus answered them: “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I said: “You are gods”’? **Margin: Psalm 82:6 Verse 35: If he called ‘gods’ those against whom the word of God came—and yet the scripture cannot be nullified— Verse 36: do you say to me whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’? Look at verse 36 in particular, did Jesus call himself the “Almighty God” or “God's Son”?. Let the scriptures say the truth biko. So show us the scripture Jesus said he was God please and thank you. |
It has come to my notice that solite3 believes Jesus is God and he agrees he's a trinitarian. But then again, WizzyVine also believes Jesus is God and he denies being a trinitarian. So how do we resolve this issue on ground now? ![]() |
WizzyVine:If Jesus is indeed higher than the archangel Michael, then why would he come in the voice of a lesser angel? E no get im own voice normally? ![]() There's only one way to reconcile all of these. |
Solite3 please do justice to this ASAP. We're waiting to hear from you. Maximus69: |
solite3:Arguing or stating facts? ![]() |
solite3:Why would I waste my time knowing some worthless god that can't dispense accurate knowledge about itself to those who worship it? |
I think the attention of DrLiveLogic is needed ![]() Mr solite3 has committed the same blunder again ![]() solite3:Few minutes later... solite3:I don't know if I'm the only one thinking about this—but I think solite3 should see a therapist to ascertain whether this condition is his fault or not. ![]() |
solite3:You just keep contradicting yourself here and there. ![]() Perhaps DrLiveLogic should come restructure your thinking again? ![]() Question: Please who is the Father? Answer: Jehovah God (Isaiah 64:8, Matthew 6:9, John 20:17) Question: Please who is the Son? Answer: Jesus, of course(Matthew 16:16, John 20:31) So I ask, Mr solite3, are Jehovah and Jesus the same person or not? ![]() |
Acehart:Our virtual meetings have been okay, thank you for asking. Well let's explore the Scriptures then Revelation 5:13 “And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and underneath the earth and on the sea, and all the things in them, saying: “To the One sitting on the throne and to the Lamb be the blessing and the honor and the glory and the might forever and ever.”” Notice the highlighted words, it will catch the attention of any honesthearted individual that the verse is referring to two DISTINCT individuals. I don't know if you agree? Jehovah God is that “One” in capitals and never has Jesus been called “the One”, just his Father, Jehovah. See Isaiah 43:12, 48:17 Daniel 7:9,13; Habakkuk 1:13, Revelation 4:9-11 Of course, Jesus would receive honor being the “the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.”—John 1:29 but he and his Father/God are two individuals entirely and not some mishmash of personalities. |
solite3:So where did the Bible now say the only begotten Son is the same as his Father, Jehovah God? Evidence please! ![]() |
solite3:Of course you can't defend your own trinity fraud ![]() So you have no Biblical proof that Jesus is the Almighty God yet there is resounding evidence from the scriptures that since Jesus is subject to his Father, Jehovah, he is the archangel Michael. ![]() |
solite3:Apply sense nah ![]() Going by own logic, so all the sons of God—angels(Genesis 6:2, Job 1:6, 38:7) are now the same as Jehovah God? ![]() |
solite3:Me too, I'll only show you if you first answer my own question. ![]() |
solite3:I said leave all explanations out of this and provide the scripture that said the below Jesus is God. Simple! Since we want to ignore context, let's have a go at it then. |
