Mat 1:20  But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

the Holy Ghost is the Father of Jesus Christ

the Holy Ghost is not "a impersonal power - a thing - a it", but is God

Gen 1:1  In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Joh 1:3  All things were made by him(the Word); and without him was not any thing made that was made.




Gen 1:26  And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness

Joh 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 





Gen 1:2  And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Psa 33:6  By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

Joh_20:22  And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:

Pro 8:22  The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.

john agrees with proverbs(possessed):

Joh 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Joh 1:2  The same was in the beginning with God. 

"the LORD possessed me" = "the Word was with God"

there still remains one religious group that's standing tall and the members are zealously and faithfully keeping to the teachings of their own leaders!
Jehovah's Witnesses keep waxing strong and the whole world can see that this organization is penetrating all nations, making strong disciples and loyal worshippers for their god.
yes indeed, satanism in all it's forms is growing world wide in these last days


Joh 8:44  Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

you cannot say the truth even more so than other false jw's, and just like your father and god the devil:

when a person becomes a believer in Christ, one of the first things he does
is to become truthful, like the Lord is truthful
the Lord Jesus is "the truth"

Joh_14:6  Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.




when false jw's becomes a believer of their elders and witchpower, one on the first things he does
is to become a non stop liar, like his god satan is a liar
their god satan is the father of lies:

Joh 8:44  Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Joh 8:41 Ye do the deeds of your father.

Joh 8:44  Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

just look at the twisting - lying of the false jw's, to deny that Father and the Word is God, john 1:1
and making God a liar
false jw's cannot say the truth for any reason
they twist and lie habitually because lying is inbuilt in them from their father the devil:

Joh 8:44  Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

the truth that the pic should say:

1. Father God asked God the Word to go to earth to save man
2. God the Word agreed with His Father God
3. and agreed with His Father God to offer Himself
4. Lord Jesus prayed to His Father God and glorified His Father God repeatedly
5. Lord Jesus strengthened Himself and talked to His Father God
6. Lord Jesus was sacrificed proving His loyalty to His Father God
7. Lord Jesus was resurrected and exalted His Father God above Himself
8. then He sat on His Father God's right hand
9. the Word the Lord Jesus Christ turns His kingdom over to His Father God


Joh 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 

Joh_5:23  That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

1Jn 2:23  Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.




the pic shows the extreme evil of the false jw's denying God
they are the devil's kiddies:

Joh 8:44  Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

here is a few comments from carm at the link you gave to support your position, laugh


quote:
Yet, most Bibles do not translate it the way the New World Translation does.

First, Heb. 1:8 is a quote from Psalm 45:6, which says,
"Thy Throne, O God, is forever and ever; a scepter of uprightness is the scepter of Thy Kingdom"

In fact, the ASV, KJV, NIV, and NKJV all translated it as "Your throne, O God . . . "

The KJV, NIV, and NASB all take the verse in its plain,
straightforward sense, as do the ancient translations . . . "

Clearly, this section of Hebrews is proclaiming that Jesus is God. Therefore, contextually, it is best to translate Heb. 1:8 as, "Thy Throne, O God. . ." and the Father call Jesus God.

The Watchtower organization denies that Jesus is God. Therefore, it cannot permit any verses in the Bible to even hint that Jesus is God. That is why they choose a translation that does not best fit the context or overall theology of the Bible.

"Heb. 1:8 and Psalm 45:6, "God is thy throne."
Your Throne O God"But with reference to the Son: 'God is your throne forever and ever, and [the] scepter of your kingdom is the scepter of uprightness'" The New World Translation.

In this particularly interesting verse, God is addressing the Son. The Greek construction of Hebrews 1:8 allows the text to be translated in two legitimate ways:

"God is your throne forever and ever . . . "

(**1) my comments...
"God is your throne forever and ever . . . " is the legitimate translation of Psalms 45:6 in Hebrew language to Greek language of Hebrews 1:8.
@ no time was any human Israelite King called God in the entire Bible.
Not even in Psalms 45:6.
(Prove me wrong,if you can). grin

NWT. "God is your throne" the best translation"
similar to
NRSV margin"Your throne is a throne of
God"
TEV"The kingdom that God has given you"
NJB"Your throne is from God"
JPSOA, RSV"Your divine throne"
REB"God has enthroned you"
NEB"Your throne is like God's throne"
Compare Lam5:19,Psalms93:2, 1Chro29:23, Jesus says it is his Father's throne,Rev3:21."wink)

*2
"Thy Throne O God, is forever and ever . . . "

Because of the Watchtower presupposition that Jesus is not God, they choose the first version; otherwise, the Father would be calling Jesus God, and that goes against Jehovah's Witness theology. Yet, most Bibles do not translate it the way the New World Translation does. They choose the other way. Why? Two reasons.

First, Heb. 1:8 is a quote from Psalm 45:6, which says,

"Thy Throne, O God, is forever and ever; a scepter of uprightness is the scepter of Thy Kingdom" (All Bible quotes are from the NASB).

( ***3)my comments...
"The RSV translates it as "Your divine throne endures for ever and ever," "because it requires understanding the Hebrew noun for "throne" , CONCRETE PROOF RSV and NWT are AUTHENTIC rendition of Psalms 45:6.

Carm.org says (*@1) "The Greek construction of Hebrews 1:8 allows the text to be translated in two legitimate ways:

"God is your throne forever and ever . ." . (similar rendition in NWT).

Jesus human King of Israel is called God here:
Heb 1:8  But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.

Jesus human King of Israel is called God here:
Joh 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Jesus human King of Israel is called God here:

Jesus human King of Israel is called God here:

Jesus human King of Israel is called God here:
Tit 2:13  waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, 
Tit 2:14  who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.

Janosky: Adam is a Spirit in a human body.
adam was made a soul, God gave him breath - spirit - life, he was then a living soul
Gen 2:7b and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

you don't believe in God the Word, you deny the Lord calling Him "a god"

you don't believe in God the Holy Spirit, you deny God, calling Him "a impersonable power"



Isa 9:6  For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

truly, "The mighty God" and "a god" don't equate
but such is your perverted nwt and the gullibility of you false jw's





Mat 12:32  And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

you can speak against Jesus the man and get away with it if you repent
but speaking against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven - shows the Holy Spirit is God

more showing the Holy spirit is God:

Act 5:1  But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, 
Act 5:2  And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet. 
Act 5:3  But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? 
Act 5:4  Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. 
Act 5:5  And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things. 
Act 5:6  And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him. 
Act 5:7  And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in. 
Act 5:8  And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much. 
Act 5:9  Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out. 
Act 5:10  Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.

CARM:

Heb. 1:8 and Psalm 45:6, "God is thy throne."

"But with reference to the Son: 'God is your throne forever and ever, and [the] scepter of your kingdom is the scepter of uprightness'" The New World Translation.

In this particularly interesting verse, God is addressing the Son. The Greek construction of Hebrews 1:8 allows the text to be translated in two legitimate ways:

"God is your throne forever and ever . . .
and
"Thy Throne O God, is forever and ever . . . "

Yet, most Bibles do not translate it the way the New World Translation does. They choose the other way. Why? Two reasons.

First, Heb. 1:8 is a quote from Psalm 45:6, which says,

"Thy Throne, O God, is forever and ever; a scepter of uprightness is the scepter of Thy Kingdom"
(All Bible quotes are from the NASB).

In fact, the ASV, KJV, NIV, and NKJV all translated it as "Your throne, O God . . .

The KJV, NIV, and NASB all take the verse in its plain, straightforward sense, as do the ancient translations . . . "

When we look at the Hebrew, we see that there is no grammatical requirement for this translation though it is considered to be the best translation by most translators. In and of itself, this is not conclusive because the context of this verse in Psalm 45 is dealing with a king which would make one wonder why he would be addressed as God; but, it is not uncommon for NT writers to take a verse in the OT that seemingly deals with one subject and apply it to another. They knew something we didn't. In fact, in Ezekiel 28:12-17 is a section that deals with the fall of the devil. Verse 13 describes how he was in the garden of Eden. Verse 14 says he was the anointed cherub, (v. 15), etc., but the context of this section begins with an address to the king of Tyre (v. 12). Yet, right after Ezekiel is told to write to the King of Tyre, he then goes on to describe what the great majority of theologians agree with--a description of the devil's fall. So, we need to look at the context into which the writer of Hebrews put Psalm 45:6. He addressed it to Jesus. Therefore, Psalm 45 is a Messianic Psalm and must in interpreted in light of the NT not the other way around.

Nevertheless, the context of this verse follows:

"For to which of the angels did He ever say, "Thou are My son, Today I have begotten Thee"? And again, "I will be a Father to Him, and He shall be a Son to Me"? 6And when he again brings the first-born into the world, He says, "And let all the angels of God worship Him." 7And of the angels He says "Who makes His angels winds, and His ministers a flame of fire." 8But of the Son He says, "Thy Throne, O God, is forever and ever, and the righteous scepter is the scepter of His kingdom, 9Thou hast loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; therefore God, Thy God, hath anointed Thee with the oil of gladness above Thy companions. 10And, "Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the works of Thy hands; 11They will perish, but though remainest . . . " (Heb. 1:5-11).

To say "God is your throne" doesn't make sense. What does it mean to say, "But to which of the angels did he say, God is your throne." What would that mean? Is God, Jesus' throne? God alone is on His throne, and He isn't a throne for anyone else.

Also worth noting here is verse 10: "Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the works of Thy hands . . . " This is a quote from Psalm 102:24-25 which says, "I say, 'O my God, do not take me away in the midst of my days, Thy years are throughout all generations. 25Of old Thou didst found the earth; And the heavens are the work of Thy hands.'" Clearly, God is the one being addressed in Psalm 102. It is God who laid the foundations of the earth. Yet, in Heb. 1:10, Jesus is called 'Lord' and is said to be the one who laid the foundation of the earth. This becomes even more interesting when we note that in Isaiah 44:24 it says, "Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, and the one who formed you from the womb, "I, the Lord, am the maker of all things, Stretching out the heavens by Myself, And spreading out the earth all alone." If God was laying the foundations of the earth alone, that would mean that either Jesus has to be God, second person of the Trinity, who laid the foundation the same as YHWH did; or we have a contradiction in the Bible. Clearly, this section of Hebrews is proclaiming that Jesus is God. Therefore, contextually, it is best to translate Heb. 1:8 as, "Thy Throne, O God. . ." and the Father call Jesus God.

The Watchtower organization denies that Jesus is God. Therefore, it cannot permit any verses in the Bible to even hint that Jesus is God. That is why they choose a translation that does not best fit the context or overall theology of the Bible.

The Trinity delusion....

"The Greek Grammar and
Intentional Translation Bias
Concerning Hebrews 1:8,
Trinitarian apologists are
somewhat pretentious and would
have you believe their "O God"
translation is the only possible
translation. So they always
cherry pick the vocative "O God"
translation for their apologetic
agenda.* However, Trinitarian
Greek translation scholars openly
admit the Greek grammar does
indeed allow for a different
translation. Trinitarian scholars
admit that "God is your throne
(or Your throne is God) is
grammatically correct (see
Robertson or Westcott for
example). Some of these
scholars also concede that it
makes theological sense. This is
also evidenced by a review of
various major translations. The
RSV translates Psalm 45:6 as
"Your divine throne endures
forever and ever." The NRSV
footnote for Psalm 45:6 reads,
"Your throne is a throne of God"
and the Hebrews 1:8 footnote
reads, "God is your throne."
(Note: * Some grammarians have
even argued that the vocative is
an artificial category created by
translators. In other words, they
argue that it is a category which
is an English speaking
convention which would have
never been conceived in a Koine
Greek speaker's mind.)
The word "throne" in Scripture
With the exception of a few
informed scholars, Trinitarians
generally seem to dismiss the
"God is your throne," or "Your
throne is God," translation
because they can't imagine how
God could be Jesus Christ's
throne. Some even conclude this
is silly because, they object, it
would have God being used as
Jesus' chair (throne). However,
the ignorance is actually their
own. The problem is that they
are equating the word "throne"
with a chair to sit upon. This
notion comes from ignorance
concerning the use of the word
"throne" in the Scripture.
David and Solomon sat on "the
throne of Yahweh" (1 Chronicles
29:23; 2 Chronicles 9:cool over the
Kingdom of God (1 Chronicles
28:5).. This does not mean they
sat on God's chair in heaven. To
sit on a throne means one
assumes the authority signified
by that throne. When David and
Solomon sat on the throne of
Yahweh it meant they were given
the right to execute the authority
of God's throne over the nation of
Israel, that is, God's authority
over Israel. "

carm.org, A Trinitarian and the non Trinitarian, angelfire.com both agreed that "God is your throne " is legitimate way to translate Hebrew 1:8.
Johnw FRAUD theorist, eleyi ogidigaan of falsehood.
™lying pharisee deceiver false jw Janosky/OneJ

you search online for others that agree with you

i will stick with God's word(most all translations) that: "Thy throne, O God" is the proper translation
and not the nwt "God is your throne" - it is certainly not proper plain english
but you can trust the perverted nwt to confuse any words showing where Father calls Jesus "O God"



i saw your mistake in posting that link
you can't even get that right
seeing that you posted the carm article you must agree with it
you must agree that another
way of translating that verse referring to Jesus is:

"Thy Throne O God, is forever and ever . . . "

or perhaps you just pick and choose what to believe as you do with God's word

CARM: "God is your throne forever and ever . . .
and
"Thy Throne O God, is forever and ever . . . "

Because of the Watchtower presupposition that Jesus is not God, they choose the first version; otherwise, the Father would be calling Jesus God, and that goes against Jehovah's Witness theology. Yet, most Bibles do not translate it the way the New World Translation does. They choose the other way.
you seem to think that anglefire and carm are infallable
i don't, but much of what carm says on that page you linked to is correct, isn't it? smiley

how many times do i have to say it, of course it's true
and of course it's not true that "Father is Jesus throne" as you false jw have been saying
Jesus doesn't sit on His Father but on the right hand of His Father, oh most duh one
by the way, one more time, Jesus doesn''t literally sit on His Fathers right hand
i have to say it again because your confusion is enormous:

1Co_14:33  For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

Janosky: "God is your throne" (Hebrew/Greek meaning ) God's throne is your throne .
Hebrew and Greek are original languages of the holy Scriptures.
Hebrew & Greek Bible writers never thought in English...
The meaning of that phrase in Hebrew and Greek determines it's meaning in English.

Don't TWIST the holy writ.
lying twister of God's Word, making God a liar

"god is your throne" clearly doesn't mean "God's throne is your throne"
in the first saying: "God is a throne", in the second saying: "God's throne is Jesus throne"

"God's throne is your throne" is correct and is the same as i have been saying, "Jesus sits with His Father on the throne of God"

you have been saying "God is your throne"
you have finally discovered that what i have been saying is true
but you cannot admit it and you are doing the lets twist again on it
but twisting is what you do best you way heap big fraud
