As regards the other fool, he is intentionally looking at interpretations that favors is own narrative so that he can ask questions and think he is wise!!!

It's evident even from the diagram that the Father is not the son(Word of God) likewise the Holyspirit

But for the sake of his own narrative he assumes that God(as an identity) is the same as the three!!!

Making God look like someone having a personality disorder!!!

He turns his blind eye to the fact that the God you allude to is "the concept of nature"!!!

And the diagram is better interpreted as The Father is God, the son is God, the spirit is God where each are not the same! 🙃

But for the sake of his mischievousness he says God is Father, son, Spirit implying an identity.

He's a fool!!!
I know how to deal with him even if he changed moniker cheesy cheesy grin cheesy

You claimed Kjv did not use it because of Grammatical accuracy. Are you now saying that using "The God" in John 1:1 is a Grammatical error?
You're just confusing yourself

My point using The God is when you try to equate my illustration of MAN to be both NATURE and NO PERSON.

I just showed you that the first God in John 1:1 is a PERSON because of the definite article THE.

which make it different from the second God which the word IS.

Do you agree that the word can be WITH GOD when He's also God?

You mean the original Greek says "The God" is "the Father" in John 1:1 according to you?
No! I said the first God which the word was with shows it's a PERSON.

What is the Greek word for "The father" and what is the Greek word for "The God"?
You have Google, Don t you?

Are you now saying that the greek word rendered "THE God" cannot be used for "The Son" And The Holy Spirit in John 1:1?
The Greek word used in John 1:1 at the second part shows God which the word was with is different from the God which the was IS.

That's my point about the "The God"

That should be clear by now

You claim king James version did not use The God because of Grammatical accuracy. So why are you now adding "The God" to that verse. Are you not causing a Grammatical error?
Yes! KJV didn't use and I'm not causing any grammatical error because I'm just elucidate more for clarification and I didn't add.

The fact, is there's is The in front of the God.

I never said it did. I was only asking a question
Then stay on the lane.

I clearly said that if the Diagram says that God is the Father, the son and the Holy Spirit, How can John 1:1 say that the word is God and is with God.
Yes! Which is the reason I used that illustration of the first male and female.

You are claiming that with God is actually with THE GOD But was not used that way because of Grammatical accuracy.
Yes! It's in the original Greek.

And that to show you that the God is of two different backgrounds not the same thing.

You also claimed that THE God refers to the Father IN John 1:1 after claiming that The Word "God" is generic and can refer to the three individual in the Diagram.
Yes! because that makes the first God to be a PERSON the word can't be with NON Existing thing.

So where did you get The God as Only The Father in John 1:1?
The original Greek.

Check it and stop going in round

Ask KJV translator not me and not only KJV most translations too didn't have it

Even if it was put, are you saying that "THE GOD" appears in the Diagram that i showed you and that it only refers to The Father?
The God didn't appear in your diagram.

Stop lying.

If you agree that the Diagram has only one "GOD" as nature, where did you see "GOD" as person in the Diagram?
You posted that pic and asked me do I agree with it?

Which I said YES!

Your next question was [b]How can The word(God) be with(God)?

I am only explaining John 1:1 with a diagram that I showed you that you claim was correct. The diagram clearly shows that God is the Father, the son and the Holy Spirit.
Good to know you understand now.

What is the grammatical accuracy that the king James version is not using it for?
The Greek word used in the second part where "The word was with God" shows there's a definite article THE in front.

According to the diagram that I showed you, How many "GOD"(nature) presented in the Diagram?
Just ONE.

Is The word "God"(nature) used as person in the Diagram?

So If The Word "Adam" refers to person and nature, how does it correlate to John 1:1?
It will help you to understand your confusion below.

So are you saying that The WOMAN(person) who is MAN(NATURE) is with MAN(NATURE)?
No! I'm simply saying "The woman(person) who is MAN(NATURE) is with MAN(person).

Remember, your first question was, how can the word(God) be with (God).

This shows, you're confusing the usage of the word GOD in John 1:1

Please what translation uses "THE GOD" and "GOD" in John 1:1 because the Kjv does not use it?

King James Bible
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was [b]with God
, and the Word was God

New King James Version
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
KJV might not use it for grammatical accuracy but the word used by the writer in Greek shows the word was with THE GOD is different from God who the word is.

I'm using terms that reasonable persons will understand.
God is a Spirit {John 4:24} so whatever he showed anyone is his glory! smiley
So the glory of God is also God.

Why can't the same glory be recorded as SEEING GOD FACE TO FACE?

Now, you equate this same GLORY to be AN ANGEL.

IS GOD'S GLORY AND ANGEL the same?

You see, John 1:18 is talking about different thing not about GOD REVEALING HIMSELF TO PEOPLE.

Is that not what I said?

I don't want to get confused with your explanation.
You clearly said that MAN Is Generic that refers to nature which is male and female.
Which you agreed with, or you didn't?

ADAM= person.
According to your explanation, ADAM= MAN by nature not by person.
Adam is also equal PERSON because that was the first MALE called.

So in a nutshell:

Adam = Nature
Adam = person(the first male)

Woman=Eve.
THE Woman is MAN(nature) is correct.
The WOMAN is a MAN(nature) is also correct.
Except you explain the difference between MAN and A MAN.
MAN = NATURE.

To say A MAN, let's go with your insertion.

The woman is a nature.

Which is very wrong.

So, the whole point is that, since the word MAN is generic THE WOMAN can be WITH MAN.

Do you agree?

Kindly bring out where John 1:1 says the word(person) was with The Father(person).
John didn't use FATHER in John 1:1 but The God and God were used.

One is the person and the second is the NATURE.

Good!

Oya explain these scriptures:

“You cannot see my face, for no man can see me and live.” Exodus 33:20

No man has seen God at any time; the only-begotten god who is at the Father’s side is the one who has explained Him. John 1:18


Exodus God was talking about man using his own power to see Him.

Remember, the same God told Moses, there is a PART OF ME you can see.

Did God lie when He showed Moses that PART OF HIM?

Don't dodge my question.

Which means I can make you see what I wanted you to see of me.

I've addressed the other point.

When Jehovah's Witnesses are confidently speaking about what we know you people want to argue.
Please how come the Bible says Moses spoke to Jehovah face to face {Exodus 33:11} Abraham spoke with Jehovah {Genesis 18:3} yet John the apostle said no man has ever seen God at any given time? John 1:18
Definitely it's the angel representing God all these people saw which was Jesus in his prehuman existence! smiley
You're saying the scripture is contradictory then.

If the scripture says people speak with God face to face God is not a liar who will instruct people to pen down lies.

When the scripture says people spoke with God face to face, it means God came down (that is bringing Himself to the level He can interact with man).

When John recorded that NO MAN HAS SEEN GOD, John was talking about MAN USING HIS OWN WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE TO AQUIRE THAT LEVEL.

Read the scripture again.

Context is the key.

Exodus 13:21 says Jehovah himself was leading the Israelites but it was Chapter 14:19 that reveals its an angel REPRESENTING Jehovah! wink
You're the one who added REPRESENTING not the scripture.

Both Yahweh and Angel visited Abraham later only Angel was mentioned. That doesn't means both did not visit.

Also, we have many instances in the scripture where many people did something but only one or two were mentioned.

Conclusively, reading NWT no one can accurately say there's ONLY ONE ANGEL representing God because many Angels were mentioned in the Bible that actually delivered God's message.

According to what I understand above.
MAN= nature.
man=person.

MAN= male and female.
man is not = male and female.

man=Adam
woman=Eve

So MAN is nature not an individual person..... but refers to both male and female.
Even though you're trying to differentiate them with capital but that's not the case here.

Remember, the word ADAM means MAN.

On the red color as you understood it.

So which one is more accurate.

The woman was man or the woman is a man?

According to the diagram, God is the Father, The son and the Holy Spirit. John 1:1 mention The word(person) Who is God(nature). Can you bring out the other person mentioned in John 1:1?
The Father!

For you even to agree that The Word is God by NATURE means you don't know what you're arguing against.

Now Jehovah was going ahead of them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them along the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day and by night. Exodus 13:21

Then the angel of the true God who was going ahead of the camp of Israel departed and went to their rear, and the pillar of cloud that was in front of them moved to the rear and stood behind them. Exodus 14:19

Go now, lead the people to the place about which I have spoken to you. Look! My angel will go ahead of you, and on the day when I make an accounting, I will bring punishment on them for their sin.” Exodus 32:34


He said: “Look! I see four men walking about free in the midst of the fire, and they are unharmed, and the fourth one looks like a son of the gods.” Daniel 3:25

“During that time Miʹcha·el will stand up, the great prince who is standing in behalf of your people. And there will occur a time of distress such as has not occurred since there came to be a nation until that time. And during that time your people will escape, everyone who is found written down in the book. And many of those asleep in the dust of the earth will wake up, some to everlasting life and others to reproach and to everlasting contempt. Daniel 12:1-2


Only one angel has been representing Jehovah and Daniel said it's the Archangel whose voice will raise the dead! Daniel 12:2 compare to John 5:28-29; 1 Thessalonians 4:16
Your first lie is you saying "ONLY one angel has been REPRESENTING Jehovah"

In all verses you quoted no Angel was mentioned to have represented Jehovah.

The closest one is where "MY ANGEL..." was used which could mean ANY ANGEL of God among the legions of Angels.

So, reading NWT no can can accurately say there's ONLY ONE ANGEL representing God because many Angels were mentioned in the Bible that actually delivered God's message.

I don't know because your explanation is not yet clear.
The word MAN is a generic word which means both MALE & FEMALE can be called MAN.

In the garden, the woman was with man, and the woman was also CALLED MAN.

Do you agree?

Here, do you think the word MAN used here is about NATURE or just one INDIVIDUAL PERSON?

Does John 1:1 mention another person apart from The Word(person) Who is God(nature)?
Yes! "The God" whom The Word was with is a PERSON.

But which one is more accurate.

The woman was MAN or the woman was a MAN?

Does not The diagram clearly shows that Three persons share one nature in the middle which is called "God" And that one nature "God" is shared by three persons? So How can The Word(person) be God(nature) and be with God(nature)?
The Word(person) can be with God because God here is a person too.

Just like the woman(person) who shares the same NATURE with the male is also with MAN, man here is a person.

So If the the diagram clearly states that God is the Father, the son and the Holy Spirit, How can the Word Who is God be with God according to John 1:1?
I love this but don't run whenever I throw my own question to you or try to play hide and seek.

The word "God" is a generic word just like the word "Man."

Which can be used for both male and female.

For instance, in the account of creation in Genesis, we read the followings:

1. Let Us make man in Our image...
2. let them...
3. So God created man in His own...
4. He created him; male and female He created them.


If you read Genesis 2 you'll notice how the word MAN was used for the male Adam and interchangeably used for both male and female ADAM.

REMEMBER, the female didn't get her name EVE not until after the fall

Now let's use this analogy to explain John 1:1, 1 John 1:2.

In the garden was the woman, the woman was with the man, and the woman was MAN.

It will be a grammatical error to say

In the garden was the woman, the woman was with the man, and the woman was a man

In line of this, as Genesis uses man for both first male & female, every right thinking person knows the first expression is correct as "...the woman was MAN" is about NATURE not gender or something else.

But the second expression "...the woman was a man" shows the woman is a male gender or something else not about NATURE.

So where "...the word was with God" in John 1:1 or "The eternal life was with the Father" in 1 John 1:2 show the word IS GOD by nature not another person.
