MRAKPORS: If , so why? And wetin be the difference with the other Bible? JWs use ANY Bible available in any language spoken on earth. We have our translation called "NWT" which stands for " the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures. The difference is that like the Darby Translation, Aramaic Bible and ASV, (to some extent), the NWT uses the Divine name "Jehovah", over 7000 times.. The NWT is an authentic rendition of the Hebrew and Greek manuscript of the Bible into English and other language versions. Sheol ,Hades means Grave not hellfire. Gehenna & Tartarus is translated properly,not misleading hellfire you see in many Bible versions The NWT is in modern,easy to read and understand English. No "thou" ,no "hast", no thine, no thee", all those archaic jargons no dey. The NWT is available and accessible online ( JW official website , Bibliatodo etc). |

peggywebbs: Yes what they left out is that, they got their translation from an already translated version of the bible and did everything to remove verses they don't agree with. Fallacious claim. When Pastorpreneurs spoon-feed you, you gulp everything without checking and cross check what's fact or true.  |

Tcwork: Don't you see, we all are trying to serve God. We are all trying to find peace and happiness. This isn't a fight between light and darkness but between 2 people both trying to find the light. The most knowledgeable among us, only knows but a tiny bit of the mysteries of God. True we would discuss doctrines and differences but we can't forget that we are all on the same side. The side of truth. No one has a monopoly of truths and the day we think we know enough is the day we stop learning. I encourage discussion's and questions and even disagreement but we must remember that the spirit of contention is of the devil. The spirit of God is of peace and love and gentleness. Bros, what's your view on this topic of discussion- Trinity? Shalom. |

I used to walk down streets with bookshops so I could go in knowing I could not walk out without buying a book. Then I began walking down streets with like 10 bookshops and go in every one and buy books. But now I'm on lockdown I don't even need to leave my home to find a bookshop and I think I seriously need help!
I will list the books as they arrive. You will understand better when you see what I ordered. Pls Buda , after reading the novel, let me know your rating of that novel by Ken Follet.

Who or What Is “the Alpha and the Omega”?
The Bible’s answer “The Alpha and the Omega” refers to Jehovah God, the Almighty. This term occurs three times in the Bible.—Revelation 1:8; 21:6; 22:13. *
[b]Why does God call himself “the Alpha and the Omega”? Alpha and omega are the first and last letters of the alphabet in Greek, the language used to write the part of the Bible commonly called the New Testament, which includes the book of Revelation. The respective positions of these letters in the Greek alphabet are used to illustrate that Jehovah alone is the beginning and the end. (Revelation 21:6) He was Almighty God in the infinite past, and he will continue to be Almighty God forever. He is the only one who is “from everlasting to everlasting.”—Psalm 90:2.
Who is “the first and the last”? The Bible applies this term both to Jehovah God and to his Son, Jesus, but with different meanings. Consider two examples.
At Isaiah 44:6, Jehovah says: “I am the first and I am the last. There is no God but me.” Here Jehovah highlights that he is the everlasting true God; besides him, there is no other. (Deuteronomy 4:35, 39) In this case, then, the expression “the first and the last” has the same meaning as “the Alpha and the Omega[/b].”
( *** THE HEART OF THE MATTER***) Additionally, the term “the First [pro’tos, not alpha] and the Last [e’skha·tos, not omega]” occurs at Revelation 1:17, 18 and 2:8. In these verses, the context shows that the one referred to died and later returned to life. Thus, these verses cannot refer to God because he has never died. (Habakkuk 1:12) However, Jesus died and was resurrected. (Acts 3:13-15) He was the first human to be resurrected to immortal spirit life in heaven, where he now lives “forever and ever.” (Revelation 1:18; Colossians 1:18) Jesus is the one who performs all resurrections thereafter. (John 6:40, 44) Therefore, he was the last one to be resurrected directly by Jehovah. (Acts 10:40) In this sense, Jesus can properly be called “the First and the Last.”
Does Revelation 22:13 prove that Jesus is “the Alpha and the Omega”? No. The speaker at Revelation 22:13 is not specifically identified, and there are various speakers in this chapter. Commenting on this section of Revelation, Professor William Barclay wrote: “Things are set down without any apparent order; . . . and it is often very difficult to be sure who is the actual speaker.” (The Revelation of John, Volume 2, Revised Edition, page 223) Thus, “the Alpha and the Omega” at Revelation 22:13 can be identified as the same Person given this title elsewhere in Revelation—Jehovah God. |

Tcwork: I am not JW but from this thead it's so clear that Jehovah's Witnesses handled themselves very well. They seem to be much better in the scrpitures than all those who came against them. I am sure the good lady who began this has realized her mistakes. These guys are a step above. All that being said, it is not a competition but a wake up call to all Christians to study the scriptures and don't start what you cannot finish. A lot of uncharitable words where exchaged. It only goes to show that we Christians are more focused in furthering our church doctrines than living the life of Christ. Each was more interested in winning the debate, forgetting that, it doesn't really matter who debates better. Great observation ! Nobody sets out to insult others but sometimes you can't rule out your emotions (your feelings at that moment ) is vivid in the comments. Biblical truth remains the same whatever the feelings of the poster. Shalom |

livingchrist: Because you are in darkness you think darkness is better than light, you are decieved with the false peace and unity. Let me shock you Jehovah witnesses do not have peace at all, their unity is only outward, there are backbiting, pretense, every manner of evil in their midst, do you think the parents of molested children by those your organisation protected would be happy, what about those that were killed by your demonic no blood transfusion? Let me tell you if parenta of those people knew the truth they would tear down watch tower luciferian society.
Peace and unity is the song of the antichrist and because your organisation is routed in occultism and spiritism, it is rooted in the antichrist that is why your message is based on peace and unity, Jesus message was never based on peace and unity neither does his disciples only the antichrist, the devil so much seek for peace and unity so that he can completely rule and control men.

DeepSight: I do not consider the Bible to be a source or authority for innerant truth, and even if I did, there are way too many contrary verses within the same bible on the subject.
I have previously discussed this extensively with the soundest Christian Trinitarian ever to grace this forum here - https://www.nairaland.com/1341464/anony-deep-sight-verse-verse
- - - If you take a look, at the minimum, you will agree there are many verses for and against. The confusion about John 1:1 arose because the English translation of John 1:1 far differs from the original Greek word for word John 1:1. Greek word for God (g2316 Theo's is translated God/a god. "Was God" , has no definite article ,"the". The same thing in Acts28:6. The translation says " was a god". John 1:1c should correctly be: "was a god". Greek Theo's means: a god or God. Usually, "the" g3588 , precedes theos when Theo's refers to the Almighty. For example in John 14:1. John 20:7 & John 17:3 etc. Bottom line, in John1:1, Jesus the Word" is NOT g3588 g2316 "the God" Almighty. Therefore Jesus is a god or Divine being. John 10:34-36 ) For centuries, Christendom used English John 1:1 verse to DECEIVE the world. FYI, 1 John 5:7 & 1 Timothy 3:16 (KJV) have been proven to be distorted to reflect the trinity scam. Psalms 45:6-7 (masoretic text) disproves the Trinitarian twist of Hebrews 1:8. Please examine the screenshots and do your findings , personally. Shalom.

Kobojunkiee: You have to toss that spiritual bullsheet language in the trash where it belongs in order to make sense of this here. In the passage below, God makes clear His intentions for dealing out additional punishments after the fall of man.
Separation from God that happened to Adam and Eve as a result of their unbelief, was not a spiritual separation but a physical one that took place when God Himself barred them from coming back into the garden of Eden. How that implies "spiritual death", you would need to explain with references.
Man was driven out of the garden of Eden for a reason.... as given us above. So what you are saying is that Adam did not walk with God by faith while he was with God in the garden of Eden, but somehow Abel and Seth figured out, all on their own, how to walk with God by faith out in the world? 
Let's assume for a second that your definition of "spiritual death" is to hold, then how come God is recorded to have spoken to Abel and Cain while they were out in the world, this after the fall of man? Was God not aware of the separation that needed to exist between God and man, which you claim a result of the fall?
God was clear on His reason for imposing suffering on man after the fall - there was no mention of "spiritual" disconnection between God and man at that point - God's judgment/message seemed to have been received on the other end by man.
On Sin controlling humans, Well, I mention again Abel and Seth, who obviously seemed to be first-generation exceptions to your story there. Sin definitely took hold but the examples of such men as Abel, Seth, Enoch, Noah, showed that not all offsprings of Adam were controlled by sin in the end, does it not? They were slaves to sin by birth but not all of them controlled by sin. In terms of Judgement, what happened in Genesis 3 was the Judgement of God, was it not? God judged Adam and all those who would choose sin after Him at that point. And His judgement stands forever, does it not? The same condemnation of sin, which is death is what lives on even to this day, for all those who are born of Adam that refuse to believe in God -- the wages of sin is death.
As for your claim of eternal damnation, well, that is refuted in Genesis 3 where you are told that Adam did not eat of the tree of eternal life. Since Adam did not indeed have eternal life(eternity), there was no way for him to spend eternity in damnation. Instead, Adam perished in that day(He died less than 1000 years later) as God decreed that He would in Genesis 2 vs 17 and Genesis 3 vs 19 - God did not lie. The bolded is Scriptural truth. Christendom ignorantly believe that Adam will suffer in hellfire  . |

shadeyinka: I wish you can use scriptures to justify the assertion above!
Col 1:15-17: "Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 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: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist."
Christ is the visible form of the invisible God who created all things;
Deceptions always has to do with twisting the Truth.
"Like" is NOT the same as "Is"
The scriptures never said that the "Word was Like God" did it? The Word WAS God is what the scriptures say in simple terms.
By the way: Is Moses also a god to you?
Is Jesus "a god"? Yes. Jesus is a god.. John 10:34-36, one of the "gods in heaven", 1 Corinthians 8:5.
Christ is the visible form of the invisible God who created all things; Mr LIENUS .  Every creature exists in the image of the invisible God. "The first born of every creature" is himself a product of creation. Mr LIENUS no dey DECEIVE yourself . Greek manuscript lexicon of Colossians 1:15 exposed your FRAUD

2. According to your doctrinal position and understanding, Jesus is just a mighty god and not the True God!
Yet, a person may ask, ‘In what sense is Jesus a “Mighty God,” and didn’t the apostle John say that Jesus is himself God? https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/102005283

Isa. 43:10, 11 Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me. 11 I, even I, am the Lord, and apart from me there is no savior.
Isaiah 44:6 “See now that I, I am He, And there is no god besides Me”
Deut. 32:39 ‘I am the first and I am the last, And there is no God besides Me.”
How could Jesus be "another" God who is just "a mighty" god?
