Oga, it seems you have comprehension issues. International standard Bible is not JW.
Maynman: Do you even know what “Septuagint” is? It’s not a language. Septuagint BIBILE just like any other book then was written in Greek language, Coptic sahidic is a translation from Greek language.(English to Yoruba)
Septuagint Bible is a translation from which language?
Maynman: Does theo mean god in Hebrew as it is in Old Testament? Or was Old Testament written in Greek?
Oga, you have comprehension issues. Stop typing what you don't understand.
OLAADEGBU: Stop throwing scripture references without saying how it relates with the topic.
Sifia pains of a polytheist worshipping 3 deities.
Isaiah 43:10 (ASV) "You are my witnesses, my servants whom i have chosen, says Jehovah. Exodus 3:15,Jehovah the God of Abraham... Acts 3:13 Jesus Christ is servant of the God of Abraham. Jesus Christ is a Jehovah's witness confirmed.
Maynman: Why don’t you start from John 1:1, as you said earlier? A god was the word. What does word mean in Hebrew and Greek? Is Septuagint Bible not a Bible? Why are you scared of it and using a Coptic septic Bible? Does theo mean “god”’ in Hebrew?
Oga, which kain GIBBERISH be this? Is John 1:1 Hebrew language? The Greeks say Theos mean "a god /God", why are you against this fact?
It is a fact. The Source you quoted acknowledged that Sahidic Coptic is around 300 AD about the same time as the Septuagint even though other scholars admitted the Coptic bible manuscripts is as old as 200AD.
Maynman: It was spoken in Greek as it is in the Septuagint Bible. You are the one saying sahidic Coptic is the earliest translation of the Bible and it’s a FAT NO.
Why do you reject the truth of John 20:17?
John 20:17,Jesus Christ has his God Superior over Jesus & mankind.
Maynman: Show me where you got this fact ?” Westcott & Hortt, translators of the Septuagint into English knows that Theos mean "a god/"God” .
Acts 12:22-23 Bill Mounce Greek Interlinear Bible, how did Bill Mounce knows that Theos mean "a god/ God"?
How did Biblehub knows that Theos mean "a god/ God"?
Westcott & Hort na their Oga kpatakpata in Greek Bible scholarship. Oga, go & find out.
Maynman: They lack history . Stop fighting the Bible.
Your claim is not true. Oga, go & learn John 20:17. You seem not to understand Jesus spoken statement.
Maynman: Was the Bible written written in Coptic sahidic? Wasn’t it written in Hebrew and Greek. Septuagint Bible was written in Greek even before the language of Coptic sahidic developed. You are fighting the truth.
In your own Bible is John 20:17 spoken by Jesus Christ written in Sahidic Coptic?
MaxInDHouse: My brother this guy doesn't worth the response, if he believes Matthew's gospel then we need to meditate thoroughly on the whole account instead of picking a verse to drag you into some fruitless arguments. 1Timothy 6:4; Titus 3:9
So if doesn't believe (trust) the account of Matthew there's no need arguing with him at all! Matthew 7:6
Others will read & learn what's true.
This is a public forum. It's not about him. Thanks my Brother.
Maynman: Why don’t you check the origin of the word theos? It’s a Latin word. Why are you fighting This? The Septuagint is the earliest translation.why are you afraid of the words in it? The Coptic septic Bible is a translation from Greek.
Oga, is Latin the original language of your Bible? Deus is Latin word for God. Stop deceiving yourself jare.
Theos meaning " a god/"God ",pls Go & learn, stop being dogmatic. The Sahidic Coptic Bible is in Concord with the Greek rendition. Westcott & Hortt, translators of the Septuagint into English knows that Theos mean "a god/"God "
Maynman: Your God Is logos. And why are you using a translation that came from a translation from a translation. The Coptic Bible got his translation from the Alexander Greek Bible.
Even in what you posted earlier. They said the books in the Bible were dated to 350, that means the language would have been created 200AD, which is even not that old compare to some language. Don’t confuse dialect with the Coptic Bible.
Like John 1:1 like Acts 12:22-23
Is John 20:17 in your Bible, spoken by Jesus Christ? Ho Theos at John 1:1,John 14:1 & 1 Corinthian 11:3 ( Mounce Greek Interlinear) is the only true God worshiped by Jesus Christ.
Oga, nothing dogma about it. Theos mean "a god" /God" That is not dogma. Emphatic Diaglott & New world translation reflected the correct meaning of Greek Theos at John 1:1, the same thing your Trinity mentors did at Acts 12:22-23 & Acts 28:6.
Whenever any Greek Bible texts references Theos (God) more than once, the Most High God is always differentiated by definite article ("ho/the" as ho Theos /the God),the other Theos is rendered as "a god" (with indefinite article "a" because that is not the God Most High. Oga, go & learn.
MindHacker9009: You always like to claim that you alone have the understanding of the Bible and you did mention that the saints did not come out of the tomb when Jesus was crucified but Matthew tells us that they did
No the saints or holy ones did not. That translation of Matthew 27:53 did not give precise rendition of what took place.
w90 9/1 p. 7 ‘Many Bodies of the Holy Ones Were Raised Up’
“THE earth quaked, and the rock-masses were split. And the memorial tombs were opened and many bodies of the holy ones that had fallen asleep were raised up, (and persons, coming out from among the memorial tombs after his being raised up, entered into the holy city,) and they became visible to many people.” (Matthew 27:51-53) Catholic scholar Karl Staab calls this event that occurred at Jesus’ death “most mysterious.” What happened?
Epiphanius and other early Church Fathers taught that the holy ones literally came to life and went with the resurrected Jesus to heaven. Augustine, Theophylactus, and Zigabenus believed that these dead ones received a temporary resurrection but later returned to their tombs. The latter opinion, however, “did not gain wide recognition,” comments scholar Erich Fascher. When rendering Matthew 27:52, 53, many modern Bible translations give the impression that a resurrection took place. Not so the New World Translation, which points to the effects of an earthquake. Why?
First, whoever “the holy ones” were, Matthew did not say they were raised up. He said their bodies, or corpses, were. Second, he did not say these bodies came to life. He said they were raised up, and the Greek verb e·geiʹro, meaning to “raise up,” does not always refer to a resurrection. It can, among other things, also mean to “lift out” from a pit or to “get up” from the ground. (Matthew 12:11; 17:7; Luke 1:69) The upheaval at Jesus’ death opened tombs, tossing lifeless bodies into the open. Such occurrences during earthquakes were reported in the second century C.E. by Greek writer Aelius Aristides and more recently, in 1962, in Colombia.
This view of the event harmonizes with Bible teachings. In 1 Corinthians chapter 15, the apostle Paul gives convincing proof of the resurrection, but he completely ignores Matthew 27:52, 53. So do all other Bible writers. (Acts 2:32, 34) The corpses raised up at Jesus’ death could not have come to life in the way Epiphanius thought, for on the third day thereafter, Jesus became “the firstborn from the dead.” (Colossians 1:18) Anointed Christians, also called “holy ones,” were promised a share in the first resurrection during Christ’s presence, not in the first century.—1 Thessalonians 3:13; 4:14-17.
Most Bible commentators have difficulty explaining Mt 27 verse 53, although several of them suggest that Mt 27 verse 52 describes the opening of tombs by the earthquake and the exposing of newly buried corpses. For example, German scholar Theobald Daechsel gives the following translation: “And tombs opened up, and many corpses of saints laying at rest were lifted up.”
Who were those that “entered into the holy city” a considerable time later, namely after Jesus had been resurrected? As seen above, the exposed bodies remained lifeless, so Matthew must refer to persons who visited the tombs and brought news of the event into Jerusalem. Thus, the rendering of the New World Translation deepens Bible understanding and does not confuse readers concerning the resurrection"
MindHacker9009: , so where do you get your information concerning the Bible from is it from Johannes Grieberr who "was a spiritualist heavily involved with the occult his translation was completed under the direction of spirit messengers with the aid of his wife who is a self-professed spirit medium"
Johannes Grieberr too wrote that the saints did not leave their tombs.
JWs consulted Emphatic Diaglott of 1864 & Sahidic Coptic Bible as well as thorough examination of Greek grammatical construct which is reflected in your own Bible when it suits your Trinity mentors.
Whenever any Greek Bible texts references Theos (God) more than once, the Most High God is always differentiated by definite article ("ho/the" as ho Theos /the God),the other Theos is rendered as "a god" because that is not the God Most High.
Oga, your Bible translations did so at Acts 12:22-23 & Acts 28:6. Did Johannes Grieberr revealed that to them?
John1:1,1 Corinthian 11:3,John 14:1, Acts 3:13, Greek Interlinear Bible proven that ho Theos The God is head & Superior over Jesus Christ his son & servants. Jesus Christ, Paul,John & Peter confirmed that.
7victor: You are a Jehovah witness. I am not surprised. The scripture has been around for nearly 2000 years.
One day, not up to 100 years ago, one man came and started changing some things written in the Bible.
He changed everything that shows that Jesus Christ is the Son of God/God.
He then formed it into a book which is now what Jehovah witness uses as their bible..
But your bible is adulterated. It is different from the Bible which has been in existence since and by which thousands of people throughout the centuries have been saved.
That your founder cannot come few years ago and be lying about something which has been in existence since the time of the Apostles.
There is a belief that he wanted to start a group which will be different from other Christians because he wanted a group just like there are Lutheran, Methodist, etc.
So he sat down in his room and began to go through the Bible changing things.
Infact, he is one of the few people on Earth who have falsely altered things in a large scale without any form of scholarship or research.
Infact, everyone who is a researcher knows that the man's book which he calls a " bible" is the most manipulative abuse of freedom.
He just sat down and change things so unashamedly without any research or scholarship.
It is such a shame.
Oga,you are typing gibberish & exposing your ignorance.
Greek Theo's mean "a god /God." The same thing in John 1:1 of new world translation & Emphatic Diaglott & 14 other Bibles is the same thing in your own Bible at Acts 12:22-23.
Those 15 Bibles gave the correct translations of John 1:1. Oga, go & learn, I have given you 2 examples to help you.
7victor: That verse you are quoting also says that Jesus Christ is the image of the invisible God. It also says that by Jesus Christ all things were created.
It shows you that Jesus Christ is God because God is invisible and any time He makes Himself visible, He comes as Jesus Christ.
That's why He is called the image of the invisible God.
Image of something. You cannot see the something but you see it's image.
Also the verse says that by Jesus Christ were all things created.
It shows you that He is God because He created all things.
It is only God who can create. If it is acknowledged that He created all things, it shows He is God.
The thing is this, if I create somethings in my room. The knowledge to create those things is from God. The things I created are also the creation of God because God gave me the idea on how to create those things. Let's say I create some plates for my personal use. Those plates can say it's God who created them. And they are correct because God creates something through another thing.
If I create a car, I know everything about the car. If the car needs maintenance or any help, I am the one who will provide it. So to the car, I am God.
Infact, every intelligent being is a creator. As human beings, we have created so many things for our use.
The same thing is with Jesus Christ. Everything was created by Him and for Him. God created everything through him.
That was why even while on the Earth, Jesus Christ was able to create things like new eyes by using sand and His saliva.
Every intelligent being can create something according to his ability and wisdom. Everything so created is from God. But the Creator of all things is God the Father because the ability to design and create things is from God.
That is how Jesus Christ created all things.
There is an ancient belief that demiurge created all things. It used the Knowledge God gave him to create everything including human beings. It didn't know that there was a God somewhere who gave him the ability to create.
He thought he was the only one who existed before he created things. One day, God appeared to him and made him realize that it was He who gave him the ability to create all things.
He started worshipping God.
Even ancient people seem to realize that there was a being who created all things by the power and knowledge of God.
As Christians, we recognize that being (who created all things) as Jesus Christ. But it was by the power and wisdom of God, His Father.
Oga, Greek interlinear says "THROUGH" @Hebrews 1:2, God made the Universe THROUGH His Son" @ Colossians 1:16,John 1:3,1 Corinthian 8:6. Jesus Christ is not the Creator. When you buy house through the Lawyer, Oga you are the buyer. The Lawyer is a channel for the transaction. Jesus Christ is a channel for Creation not the Creator his father & God,Hebrews 1:2 is not rocket science.
John 5:37, John 20:17, "God did not come as Jesus." Oga, did God ascended to himself? Thank you.
"..... A Coptic (Sahidic) MS, written considerably before 350 AD, and published by the British Museum in April, 1912, contains Deuteronomy, Jonah, and Acts, and is older than any other Biblical manuscript (except a few fragments) yet known to exist. It proves that this Sahidic version was made about 200 AD. It in general supports the "Western" text of codex Bezae (D). Much of the New Testament especially still exists in Sahidic"
" a god was the word" John 1:1 Sahidic Coptic Bible,200 AD."
Steep: When we mention "person or individual" the next thing that pops out of many peoples mind is a human being or a form. Being vs person
A being is the substance or the essence (what defines an entity) while a person or individual is the consciousness of being.
Trinity is one God in three persons or three persons in one being God.
A spirit is a being just as man is a being. God is a spirit being,God is a person.
When you claim God is three persons, you mean you worship 3 spirit beings.
You are a Polytheist of Christendom. John 20:17,Acts 3:13 you have no connection to all Jehovah's servants. Jesus Christ & Abraham worship the same God. Their God is not 3 spirits.
7victor: The thing is that the Israelites believe that the judge of the world must be a man and the saviour must be God Himself.
In order to get a saviour who is also a judge, the person must be a God and a man. .
Jesus Christ is not the God, his Father,John 5:37, na him talk am.
7victor: That is why Jesus Christ was born through a human being while still retaining His God nature. .
Jesus retained his God nature yet has no idea of Matthew 24:36 God wet no know Matthew 24:36
Jesus Christ is not God. Never !!
7victor: So He was both the Son of man (so that He can judge the world) and the Son of God so that He can save the world.
He is the Son of man because He came through man. God gave Him authority to judge the world because He is the Son of man. .
Agreed.
7victor: [quote author=7victor post=111993540]1 Tim 3:16, Apostle Paul wrote that God was manifest in the flesh. That is: God came as a human being. .
So He was both the only begotten Son of God and the Son of man.
Also, so many times, Jesus Christ was called God and the Son of God. He accepted it because He knew that is who He is.
Thomas called Him "my Lord and my God"
Nathanael called Him "The Son of God, the king of Israel"
In 1 Tim 3:16, Apostle Paul wrote that God was manifest in the flesh.
So Jesus Christ was God who came in the flesh as a human being.
If Thomas, John and every apostle who were with Him, called Him God, who am I to say otherwise?
How can someone come 2000 years later to say He is not God?
It's like someone coming 2000 years from today to say that Jonathan was never a president in Nigeria.
It is better to believe those who lived when Jonathan was the president rather than believe someone who is arguing over what happened 2000 years before he was born.
So I would rather believe the apostles who lived when Jesus Christ lived, rather than believe someone who come many years later to argue on something he doesn't even know much about .[/quote]1 Timothy 3:16, Greek "Hos" (He/Who) is not Theos. Your Trinity mentors DUBIOUSLY put "God" in verse 16 of 1 Timothy chapter 3.
John20:28 in all Bibles ends with exclamation sign (!),showing surprise when you say "oh my God!" John 20:18-27, Thomas did not believe in Jesus resurrected until verse 28 when he touched Jesus Christ & exclaimed!
Did you read John 20:17? Did Jesus Christ say Thomas referred to Jesus?
Definitely not. John 20:17 Jesus Christ rebuked the false claim of Trinity devotees in verse 28.
7victor: Jesus Christ Himself called Himself the Son of God.
After He healed the man who was born blind, He asked the man whether he believed in the Son of God. When the man asked who was the Son of God, Jesus Christ confirmed He was the one.
Even Apostle Peter acknowledged before Jesus Christ that he and other disciples believed that Jesus Christ was the Son of God.
Son of God does not mean that God had intercourse with Mary in order to born Jesus Christ, as one religion like insinuating.
As Christians, we know that Jesus Christ has been the Son of God before He was born on the Earth.
He existed with God His Father before the world was created. He was the Son of God before the world was created.
Everything was created except Jesus Christ.
He is the only thing that was not created.
HE WAS BEGOTTEN, NOT CREATED.
As in, God spoke whatever He wanted and it came into existence. That is what's called creation.
As for Jesus Christ, God brought Him out from His own self. That's what is called "Begotten"
Jesus Christ was begotten, but not created. Just like a woman gave birth to a child, God brought out Jesus Christ from Himself.
Jesus Christ has always been one with His Father until God separated Him just as a baby is separated from the mother by coming out of her womb.
During His last prayers, Jesus Christ asked God to glorify Him with His (God's) own self with the glory He had before the world was created. Although Jesus Christ came out directly from God, He is still one with God.
He said "I and my Father are one.
Share your thoughts on this.
Colossians 1:15 Jesus Christ is a creature. God's first born of all Creation. Christendom DUBIOUSLY put " OVER " in Colossians 1:15, the word "OVER" is NOT in any Greek manuscript.
Romans 11:35-36, Jesus Christ came through his Father.
Image123: These ones don't know or have why Jesus died. They are just full of theology.
Freeze is correct for the fact that Jesus did not die on Friday of every year in the name of "good Friday ". " Good Friday " is a man made contraption.
If my post give you sifia pains,better you stay in your lane & endure jejely.

OLAADEGBU: Read More Objections to Jesus' physical resurrection answered by Matt Slick | Nov 24, 2008 | Doctrine and Theology, Christian Theology
Even though the Bible teaches us that Jesus rose from the dead in the same body in which He died
Oga, your statement is not in the holy Scriptures.
2 questions for you,Sir. John 20:14 & John 21:4, Luke 24:15-16, did Mary Magdalene & the disciples see Jesus "in the same body in which he died" & yet did not realize it?
John 20:14, Luke 24:15-16,John 21:4, were there scourge marks & nail wounds on Jesus body ?
OLAADEGBU: and that His resurrected body was a glorified body
John 17:4-5, did Jesus have glory as a man before the Creation? Definitely not! "Glorified body" of a spirit in the spiritual realm where he had glory before he came to earth. 1 Corinthians 15:44,45" is a physical body , Also, there is a spiritual body." Verse 45. The spiritual body belongs to the resurrected Life giving spirit, Jesus Christ. Oga, you wan write your own Bible?
OLAADEGBU: people still resist accepting this truth–to their detriment. Various objections are raised against such biblical support as . . .
Oga, your own opinion not scripture.
Who is that "young man" at Mark 16:5? Who were the "two men"Luke 24:4? How come your Bible calls them men when in fact they are not men?
OLAADEGBU: people still resist accepting this truth–to their • “Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” 20 The Jews therefore said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?” 21 But He was speaking of the temple of His body." (John 2:19-21).
Did you see "physical/natural body" @ John 2:19-21? Definitely not !
John 17:4-5,24 is the nemesis of your claim. Jesus Christ never had any glory as a man before the Creation. His glory is in spiritual realm as a spirit.
OLAADEGBU: •“When therefore it was evening, on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst, and said to them, “Peace be with you." 20 And when He had said this, He showed them both His hands and His side. The disciples therefore rejoiced when they saw the Lord." (John 20:19-20). •“And He said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? 39 “See My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself; touch Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have." (Luke 24:38-39).
John 20:14, Luke 24:15-16,John 21:4, the first time they saw Jesus, did they see any body wounds & nail marks/blood wounds on him?
Did the spirits at Luke 24:4,23, John 20:12 & Mark 16:5, have flesh & bones?
OLAADEGBU: people still resist accepting this truth–to their It seems clear that Jesus' physical resurrection is a reality. Unfortunately, objections to it have been raised
Steep: Definitely Jesus was resurrected with his body not as a spirit.
1 Corinthians 15:45 make what you will of it.
5 questions for you, Sir : John 4:24,God is a spirit. Is Jesus you claim is your God a human or a spirit? Did Psalms 110:1, Acts 2:34 & Hebrews 8:1, was that command:" Sit at my right hand" given to a human being?
Hebrews 7:26-27, Jesus Christ is high priest in heaven. Is there a physical temple in heaven? Is Jesus Christ offering sacrifice in heaven? Do spirits in heaven offer sacrifice?
