The facts speaks for itself. Let's see...

*"Begotten is the past participle of the verb 'beget' which means to Father or produce as offspring.

You might recognize this word (begotten) from John 3:16,one of the most popular and most often quoted Bible verses
"For GOD so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son...." .
https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/begotten

Jehovah PRODUCED Jesus Christ as his offspring (son).

Synonyms, Produced > Beget, Generated, CREATED, bring/brought forth, begotten,born etc

Go and quarrel with your Thesaurus/ Dictionary for further
exposure of your stupidity and falsehood called Trinity.

* No2
According to your comrade & fellow lying Pharisee, Johnw47:

"God is a spirit, one spirit" entity.

" Father and the Word is two person in one spirit which is God" entity.

Get outta here with your satanic doctrine & stupidity.

GOD,God and god is the handiwork of translators NOT the inspired writers,in the ORIGINAL text all deities are rendered the same way!
Go and check other translations of the Bible,the rendering in capital or small letters is NOT the work of the ORIGINAL inspired writers. According to their original writings a God is a God,it's names that are written in capital letters like YHWH! wink wink wink
YHWH made both Moses and Jesus God!
That's why Moses could rightly say "YHWH will raise another prophet {NOT another God take note!} for the Israelites" Deuteronomy 18:15 compared to Act 3:22
So Jesus is a God/Prophet just like Moses,they were both allowed to serve in that capacity by YHWH and this never made Moses or Jesus in anyway equal to YHWH! Philippians 2:6 compared to 1Corinthians 15:27,28

Martinez is a CONFIRMED atheist!
You may not realise this because things of the spirit need to be examined the spiritual way. 1Corinthians 2:13
ATHEISTS are claiming there can't be found any perfect wisdom,though this may seem subtle and simple but think over it. If Jesus is the same person that we're to prove our loyalty to,yet it is ONLY this same Jesus that came and passed this test, please how are we going to explain to a lay man that someone who could also err like every other person have succeeded in what we're asking them to do?
Is this not tantamount to saying "there is no perfect model to emulate?"
Remember we are to prove our loyalty to Go, so if Jesus is this same God then sincere individuals will conclude (no mortal man can master these required qualities), that is why there are so many religious groups all claiming Christians but none is asking "what exactly are we to do in order to gain salvation?"
All you'll hear them say is "accept Jesus as your personal Lord and saviour" but what does this entails? Everyone will now start telling you different things!
Don't you realise that this is exactly what these ATHEISTS are joyfully backing on to debunk the Bible?
Well if Martinez an atheist who is stringent on "no perfect wisdom" is making sense to you than those claiming there must be perfect wisdom somewhere,i'll rest my case!
an atheist doesn't believe in God

a false jw claims to know God but calls the Lord and Saviour of the world Jesus Christ "a god"
a false jw twists-changes the meaning of much of God's word to suit your false doctrines

Who is Jesus?
by a christian



Who is Jesus? Jesus is the central figure of Christianity and its founder. Jesus was born of a virgin, lived a perfect live, died on the cross for our sins, and three days later He rose from the dead. Jesus said, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me," (John 14:6). Also, Jesus claimed to be God in flesh. If you compare what God said to Moses in Exodus 3:14 ("And God said to Moses, 'I AM WHO I AM') with what Jesus said in John 8:58, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am," then you quickly see that Jesus was claiming to be God. Now, when we say that Jesus is God, we are speaking of Jesus' divinity. God alone is divine and Jesus claimed that divinity. In fact, others testified that He was divine as well:

John 20:28, "Thomas answered and said to Him, 'My Lord and my God!'"
Col. 2:9, "For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form."
Heb. 1:8, "But of the Son He says, “Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever..."
As you can see, Jesus identified himself with being God and his disciples did too.

Jesus and the Trinity
Jesus is the second person of the Trinity which is the Christian teaching that there is only one God in existence and he is comprised of three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Biblically, Jesus s the Word that became flesh and dwelt among us.

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God... 14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth," (John 1:1-2,14).

Jesus and the Hypostatic Union
Because the word was with God and was God and became flesh, we then state that Jesus has two natures: divine and human. This is called the hypostatic union. Therefore, Jesus is both God and man at the same time. The reason that he is God in flesh is because only God can atone for our sins. We can't do it on our own because we are finite, sinful beings and we cannot please an infinitely holy God. Also, Jesus had to be a man to be able to die for humanity. This means that Jesus took our place on the cross; that is, He took our place and suffered the wrath of God the Father. If you trust in what Christ has done, then you will be saved from the righteous judgment of God.

God is infinitely holy, sinless, and just. When we sin, when we do something contrary to God's will, then we have offended God. Since He is infinite, our offense against Him takes on an infinite quality -- because of who we have offended: an infinite God. Since no person can please an infinite God (because we are finite and sinners) then the only one left to remove our sins is God Himself. Therefore, Jesus is God in flesh, the one who died on the cross, bore our sin in his body (1 Pet. 2:24), and physically rose from the dead.

Jesus is still a man
Right now, in heaven, Jesus is still in the form of a man: "For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus," (1 Tim. 2:5). Jesus rose from the dead in the same body he died in as he predicted he would.

John 2:19-22, "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. 22 When therefore He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this; and they believed the Scripture, and the word which Jesus had spoken,"

Also, Jesus retained the wounds of His crucifixion after He rose from the dead:

John 20:27, "Then He said to Thomas, “Reach here your finger, and see My hands; and reach here your hand, and put it into My side; and be not unbelieving, but believing.”

Forty days after His resurrection He ascended into heaven bodily:

Acts 1:9, "And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.

He will return again from the heavens, and will judge the world and all people:

Acts 1:11, "This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven."

Yet, at the same time, He is still divine,

Col. 2:9, "For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form."

Jesus never sinned
Jesus never did anything wrong. He performed many miracles such as healing, casting out demons, walking on water, calming a storm with the command, raising people from the dead, and rising from the dead himself. Though there have been many great teachers throughout history, none of them have performed such miracles and claimed to be divine as Jesus claimed. This is why we can believe Jesus when He says, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me," (John 14:6).

Who is Jesus Christ?
by a christian


Answer: Unlike the question “Does God exist?” very few people question whether Jesus Christ existed. It is generally accepted that Jesus was truly a man who walked on the earth in Israel 2000 years ago. The debate begins when the subject of Jesus' full identity is discussed. Almost every major religion teaches that Jesus was a prophet or a good teacher or a godly man. The problem is that the Bible tells us that Jesus was infinitely more than a prophet, a good teacher, or a godly man.

C.S. Lewis in his book Mere Christianity writes the following: “I am trying here to prevent anyone from saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him [Jesus Christ]: 'I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept his claim to be God.' That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic—on a level with a man who says he is a poached egg—or else he would be the Devil of hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon; or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God. But let us not come up with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that option open to us. He did not intend to.”

So, who did Jesus claim to be? Who does the Bible say He is? First, let's look at Jesus’ words in John 10:30, “I and the Father are one.” At first glance, this might not seem to be a claim to be God. However, look at the Jews’ reaction to His statement, “‘We are not stoning you for any of these,’ replied the Jews, ‘but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God’” (John 10:33). The Jews understood Jesus’ statement as a claim to be God. In the following verses, Jesus never corrects the Jews by saying, “I did not claim to be God.” That indicates Jesus was truly saying He was God by declaring, “I and the Father are one” (John 10:30). John 8:58 is another example: “‘I tell you the truth,’ Jesus answered, ‘before Abraham was born, I am!’” Again, in response, the Jews took up stones in an attempt to stone Jesus (John 8:59). Jesus’ announcing His identity as “I am” is a direct application of the Old Testament name for God (Exodus 3:14). Why would the Jews again want to stone Jesus if He had not said something they believed to be blasphemous, namely, a claim to be God?

John 1:1 says “the Word was God.” John 1:14 says “the Word became flesh.” This clearly indicates that Jesus is God in the flesh. Thomas the disciple declared to Jesus, “My Lord and my God” (John 20:28). Jesus does not correct him. The apostle Paul describes Him as, “…our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ” (Titus 2:13). The apostle Peter says the same, “…our God and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 1:1). God the Father is witness of Jesus’ full identity as well, “But about the Son he says, ‘Your throne, O God, will last forever and ever, and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom.’” Old Testament prophecies of Christ announce His deity, “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6).

So, as C.S. Lewis argued, believing Jesus to be only a good teacher is not an option. Jesus clearly and undeniably claimed to be God. If He is not God, then He is a liar, and therefore not a prophet, good teacher, or godly man. In attempts to explain away the words of Jesus, modern “scholars” claim the “true historical Jesus” did not say many of the things the Bible attributes to Him. Who are we to argue with God’s Word concerning what Jesus did or did not say? How can a “scholar” two thousand years removed from Jesus have better insight into what Jesus did or did not say than those who lived with, served with, and were taught by Jesus Himself (John 14:26)?

Why is the question over Jesus’ true identity so important? Why does it matter whether or not Jesus is God? The most important reason that Jesus has to be God is that if He is not God, His death would not have been sufficient to pay the penalty for the sins of the whole world (1 John 2:2). Only God could pay such an infinite penalty (Romans 5:8; 2 Corinthians 5:21). Jesus had to be God so that He could pay our debt. Jesus had to be man so He could die. Salvation is available only through faith in Jesus Christ. Jesus’ deity is why He is the only way of salvation. Jesus’ deity is why He proclaimed, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6).

TATIME:
The simple question is "WHO IS JESUS?"
Because the Bible clearly says "Jesus CRIED OUT to His father"
So Mr Nonedenominational "WHO IS JESUS?"
truly it isn't simple to you false jw tatime, you haven't a clue

the word was made flesh for the Salvation of the world, and Jesus cries out in extreme pain and anguish to His Father,
what's your mystery?


who is Jesus you ask

duh, for the, is it 100 times now

read it for yourself:

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

Joh 1:14  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

TATIME:
Martinez is a confirmed ATHEIST, he knows very well the ONE and ONLY group that's tearing their faculty down is JWs! 2Corinthians 10:5
So when i said "all of them are ATHEISTS but some are fully aware of their stand,while majority are still ignorant of this FACT" someone who isn't meditating on FACTS will say "but these ones aren't saying 'there is no God'" Now all the ATHEISTS whether those who truthfully acknowledge it or those still practicing ATHEISM in confusion are gradually patting one another in the back! grin grin grin
such confusion, but what else could come from you lying pharisee tatime
talk about patting others on the back, you false jw's do it all the time

but i won't lie and call you atheist, although you don't know the true God,
you are in fact polytheist, believing in false gods
a almighty god the father and a mighty god the son, two gods
however Almighty and Mighty is names for the one true God, not two gods
ask for proof scriptures

Janosky: U still carried your foolishness come here. Lol

* My God Jehovah (YAHWEH) is immortal & can never die.(1tim1:17. Ps83:18. 90:2).
But the false gods of Johnw lying Pharisee died . Your triune gods is a fake & powerless one.
duh, know nothing lying pharisee jano/onej

God the Word became flesh, john 1:14, that flesh died,

His Spirit which is God, john 1:1 and john 4:14, of course did not die

Jesus said He would raise His body, john 2:19, and He-God did raise His body, john 10:17-18, acts 3:15

^^^ Jesus raised His body, God raised Jesus body, showing yet again that Jesus is God:

joh 1:1 in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God

Joh 1:14  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.


Joh_4:24  God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Joh_2:19  Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

Joh 10:17  Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. 
Joh 10:18  No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
 
Act 3:15  And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.

Janosky: * U agreed that the Word is not the Father
oh duh duh duh, lying pharisee jano/onej
once again, yes the Word is not the Father, the Word was with the Father, john 1:1

Janosky: therefore, Jesus is not the God whom his Father is.
know nothing false jw jano/onej

the Word Jesus was with God and the Word Jesus was God, john 1:1
truly Father and the Word is God, john 1:1, not the two false gods that you false jw's believe in


lying pharisee jano/onej

you are happy in your confusion to post the same things over and over again which have been answered,
because that is all you have, you have nothing else, you know nothing else

and i am more than happy to post the truth over and over again, and here is some more:

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_8:44  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.

God is Father and the Word, two persons, one God:
Joh 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Father and the Word, two persons, one God, created all things:
Gen 1:1  In the beginning God (Father and the Word) created the heaven and the earth.
Joh 1:3  All things were made by him (Jesus); and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Gen 1:26  And God said, Let us (Father and the Word) make man in our (Father and the Word) image, after our (Father and the Word) likeness:
