Janosky:
Angels are ministering spirits, messengers for Yahweh the only true God.

Yahweh is NOT a Messenger.
Is John3:16 and 7:16 in your Bible?

Bros, no dey DECEIVE YOURSELF grin grin
Somehow you are learning.

You have started shifting interest from Jehovah to Yahweh.

This lecture was some time delivered to you by one Catholic faithful (ben...)

And you are going to learn more about Him

Just humble yourself.

Be bold and list all the features of the ONLY TRUE GOD that you know.

Attach each with Bible references.

Yet you can give us the characteristics of the ONLY TRUE GOD
Christianity Etc › Re: This Is What/who To Preach by KNOWMORE56(op): 5:44pm On Jul 19, 2020
Let's see what the evangelists in the Bible tell their audiences:

1. PETER AT PENTECOST:

*. Acts 2:22 "KJV:Ye men of Israel, hear these words; JESUS OF NAZARETH, A MAN APPROVED of GOD among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
23
KJV: HIM, BEING DELIVERED by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
24
KJV: WHOM GOD HATH RAISED UP, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.

verse 32 "KJV: THIS JESUS HATH GOD RAISED UP, whereof WE ALL ARE WITNESSES

Verse 36 "KJV:Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made THE SAME JESUS, WHOM YE HAVE CRUCIFIED, both Lord and Christ.
37
KJV:Now when they heard this, THEY were pricked in their heart, and SAID UNTO PETER and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, WHAT SHALL WE DO?

NOTE: after the story, THEY SAID UNTO PETER, WHAT SHALL WE DO?

Christianity Etc › Re: This Is What/who To Preach by KNOWMORE56(op): 5:25pm On Jul 19, 2020
Teachings don't save sinners. Teachings give more knowledge of the Way.

And it should be done to those who have accepted Jesus as LORD AND SAVIOUR.

TRINITY is not for unbelievers but believers.

No matter how many times unbelievers try to understand it, they will only have confusion.

The 1st thing to do is to believe!

*. Hebrews 11:6 "KJV:But without faith it is impossible to please him: for HE that cometh to God MUST BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

NOTE: the Bible says he/you must believe!
Christianity Etc › Re: This Is What/who To Preach by KNOWMORE56(op): 5:07pm On Jul 19, 2020
So, whatever form of evangelism you are using, if you don't tell this story (Jesus' birth, death, burial and resurrection); you have just wasted your time.

Other things are called teachings, which should be done after the person conversation/salvation.
Christianity Etc › This Is What/who To Preach by KNOWMORE56(op): 4:55pm On Jul 19, 2020
The preaching of the gospel is the only means by which human beings will be delivered from the hold of sin, self and Satan.

It is important we know what the preaching of the gospel is all about.

It is all about Jesus Christ: His birth, death burial and resurrection.

Telling somebody this story destroys the power of Satan, sin and self in the lives of them who believe it.

The summary of the story (i.e Jesus' birth, death, burial and resurrection) is that Jesus is the Son of God.

After you end up telling somebody this story, ask him DO YOU BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD?

If he/she answers YES, I BELIEVE; he/she is saved.

No sacrifices, fasting or anything else is needed for the sinner to be saved.
Christianity Etc › Re: Trinity Explained by KNOWMORE56(op): 4:30pm On Jul 19, 2020
13. FATHER/SON SEARCHES THE HEART
AND THE REIGNS:

*. Jeremiah 17:10 "
KJV:I THE LORD SEARCH THE HEART, I TRY THE REINS, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. (i.e the Father)

*. Revelation 2:23 "
KJV:And I will kill her children with death; and ALL the churches SHALL KNOW THAT I AM HE WHICH SEARCHETH THE REINS AND HEARTS: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works. (i.e the Son)

NOTE: Jesus said ALL SHALL KNOW THAT I AM HE WHICH SEARCHETH THE REINS AND THE HEARTS.

The summary of his posts is that Jesus is the true God.

And the summary of my posts is that Jesus is the true God.

As you see that all the places you took cover have been perforated by his fiery bullet (i.e the truth), you now turn in to me.

Moreover, I have never said Jesus is ANGEL MICHAEL.

Many times JWs cause two posters who agreed on the same topic to start arguing against themselves over non-essential.

. FATHER/SON HAS AGAPE LOVE:

*. John 3:16 "KJV:For GOD SO LOVED the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.(i.e the Father)

*. Romans 5:8 "KJV:But God commendeth HIS LOVE toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.(i.e the Father)

*. Romans 8:35 "KJV:Who shall separate us from THE LOVE OF CHRIST? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or unclothedness, or peril, or sword?(i.e the Son)

*. Galatians 2:20 "

KJV:I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, WHO LOVED ME, and gave himself for me.(i.e the Son)

Achorladey: Love this part of your post because JWs love using population growth to indicate God's BLESSINGS.

In reality if that is part of the standard they use in knowing WORSHIP and RELIGION acceptable to God then they really have some catching up to do grin grin grin grin.

I hope the person that post was meant for take heed.

Rozz:
I will always listen to JW people because of what they represent,though I'm not a jw and i still don't accept some of their doctrines especially on blood transfusion.What did jesus meant in mathew 26:39,john 5:26 and john 5:30 and so many others .Clearly Jesus was always referring to his father.Lets not be blinded by who and what church we attend,its good to study the Bible with God's guidance and with an open mind.Twisting and wrong explanation of verses to suit our own belief or pastors belief is bad. One thing I've been able to always figure out is that point at which most verses are being twisted and misinterpreted here.May God guide us right.You all are very intelligent I must confess.Thanks everyone as I go very low from now henceforth .
*. Proverbs 16:2 "KJV:All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the Lord weigheth the spirits.

NIV:All a person’s ways seem pure to them, but motives are weighed by the Lord.

God is wiser than human beings. I'm happy with the way He allows all groups to exist.


One of the reasons you see many Bible users groups (i.e churches) is because of ' I DON'T ACCEPT SOME OF THEIR DOCTRINES '

They pick doctrines from this group and another doctrines from another group;
a new group is formed.

What I'm saying is that you can start a new group. This your group will accept all the doctrines of JWs except blood transfusion.

Having gotten the kind of combination of doctrines you want. Use it to serve your God with:

All your heart, all your soul, all your mind and all your strength:

*. Deuteronomy 6:5 "
KJV:And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with ALL THINE HEART, and with ALL THY SOUL, and with ALL THY MIGHT.

*. Mark 12:30 "
Believe me, you canKJV:And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with ALL THY HEART, and with ALL THY SOUL, and with ALL THY MIND, and with ALL THY STRENGTH: this is the first commandment. win some people over.

Maximus69:
Just because the scriptures say the word (Jesus) was God and that Jesus and the father are one, Trinitarians just concluded that Jesus is Jehovah!

Everything else should be trashed.

But for centuries now there's nothing virtuous that has come out of TRINITY, rather it's divisions, arguments, abuses, insults, curses even killing one another in the name of TRINITY! cheesy
My guy nah the same arrangement, you're to choose where to pitch your tent Sir! cheesy


To me, this is the only Truth you have been able to present. It may be unintentionally though.

All the things YOU HAVE BEEN POINTING out that makes you feel better with your group, it's the same with the other groups and the individuals in such groups.

THINGS YOU HAVE BEEN POINTING
OUT:
*. Happy people world over:

all the people who are still with their different groups are happy with such group. If not they could have left just as some unhappy people left your group.

*. Making disciples:

All the different groups continue to increase in number.

The Catholic Church, for example, have maintained highest in number despite the attacks they have received from almost all groups, your group being their wost attackers.

*. See what people (i.e outsiders) mark your group good at, advertisement (if it is in business), evangelism (i.e religious) or campaign (i.e politics).

But the point is that, if others are not going out for evangelism/campaign/advertisement, how have they maintained their high numbers of devotees?

The truth is that they do go, but they use different methods.

TYPES OF EVANGELISM
1. Literature evangelism
2. Media evangelism(radio,tv, social
media)
3. Person to person evangelism/house to
house evangelism
4. Open field evangelism/crusade
5. Mobile evangelism/bus preaching

Definitely, each group uses one of the above.

Truely speaking:
MY GUY NAH THE SAME ARRANGEMENT, you're TO choose WHERE to pitch your tent Sir! cheesy[/quote]*. Each group has bad/good people; Wise/unwise people;etc

*. Only God knows the numbers of people who are right with him in each group!
Take it or leave it.

I have told you before let's take it step by step so that you won't complain my post is too long.

Below are some points I have raised more than a week and you have not responded to any.

1. If someone wants to know you Jehovah,
what are the features to consider?

2. What Thomas, Stephen and Angels did/doing is what I'm doing.

Are they idol worshippers?

Or is Jesus an idol?

Let me stop here for now.

If you can stop evading questions, I promise to make known my own understanding of the points you are raising.

Janosky:
Bros, your post too long, abeg ..

Does your son have your features?
If yes,
Is your Son, KNOWMORE56 ?
If I give to your Son what is EXCLUSIVELY yours, how would you feel ?

You made reference to Revelation 5:8. Let's see why your claim "Jesus IS NOT ANOTHER", Jesus is God himself ' is unscriptural....


Everybody knows Jesus Christ is the Lamb in Revelations...

6Then I saw a Lamb who appeared to have been slain, standing in the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which represent the seven Spiritsa of God sent out into all the earth. 7And He came and took the scroll from the right hand of the One seated on the throne.

My Questions, for Verse 6&7,
Bros, Who gave the scroll to the Lamb?
Who is the One seated on the throne ?


8When He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp, and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. 9And they sang a new song:

“Worthy are You to take the scroll and open its seals,

because You were slain,

and by Your blood You purchased for God

those from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.

10You have made them to be a kingdom

and priests to serve our God,

and they will reign upon the earth.”

Questions for Verse 9 & 10, is the Lamb "our God"?
"Who is "our God"?


The Lamb Exalted

11Then I looked, and I heard the voices of many angels and living creatures and elders encircling the throne, and their number was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands. 12In a loud voice they were saying:

“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain,

to receive power and riches

and wisdom and strength

and honor and glory and blessing!”

13And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying:

“To Him who sits on the throne

and to the Lamb

be praise and honor and glory and power

forever and ever"

Questions on Verse 13..
Bros, who is Him who sits on the throne"?

Bros, Who exalted the Lamb?



Bros, in John 12:26, is Strong's Greek 1247 meaning worship?
Person wey minister for Church dey worship the church?

Shalom
'YOUR POST TOO LONG' is it an excuse to evade my questions?

Give me the characteristics/features/attributes/properties of the ONLY TRUE Jehovah GOD you are talking about. Simple!

Now to your agitations;

1. KNOWMORE is a human being, his son is a human being.

His son being a human can take/answer the name KNOWMORE without contradiction!

There's nothing EXCLUSIVELY in name answering. Only occultic organization teaches that.

2. The Lamb is at the CENTER of the throne. This Throne here is the most high throne.

The Cherubim and Seraphim and the Elders surrounded It,

the 7 spirit of God is also there upon Him(Jesus).

What else are you looking for to make you understand that this is the true God?

3. I have posted severally that Jesus is the true God, He only chooses any OFFICES He wants at ANYTIME, and ANYWHERE.
Christianity Etc › Re: I'm Beginning To Reason With Jehovah Witness On Their Stand Concerning Trinity by KNOWMORE56: 5:29am On Jul 04, 2020
DappaD:
Note that when the Bible says that all things are subjected to Jesus, it does not include God as well!

1Corinthians 15:22-28:

“For just as in Adam all are dying, so also in the Christ all will be made alive. But each one in his own proper order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who belong to the Christ during his presence. Next, the end, when he hands over the Kingdom to his God and Father, when he has brought to nothing all government and all authority and power. For he must rule as king until God has put all enemies under his feet.  And the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing. For God “subjected all things under his feet.” But when he says that ‘all things have been subjected,’ it is evident that this does not include the One who subjected all things to him.  But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him, that God may be all things to everyone.”

Take careful note of the bolded. Jehovah God exalted Jesus Christ above every other name. But that did not include God's name! Jesus Christ has a Superior! And that person is Jehovah God.
I always see reason Jesus is the true God in all your quotations.

'IN THE CHRIST ALL WILL BE MADE ALIVE'

One of the attributes of the ONLY TRUE GOD is that He gives life.

Jesus give life to ALL, no exception.

If you ask JWs "Jesus or Jehovah, who gives you life?"...

Let one of them answers,...

That 1 Corinthians 15: 22-28 explanation is as follows:

The only Creator of all things EXTENDED Himself in order to carry out the work of redemption.

That He extended/multiplied/increased Himself does not make Him lesser in any way.

It's a law that if one (1) increases itself it remains the same. Example

1×1×1=1.

There is nothing, as in the features/characteristics, that you will give to the 1st one (1) that is not in the rest.

The statement 'THEN THE SON HIMSELF WILL ALSO SUBJECT HIMSELF TO THE ONE WHO SUBJECTED ALL THINGS TO HIM, THAT GOD MAY BE ALL THINGS TO everyone.”
Simply means after redemption of the children of men is completed the extension will be cancelled!

When the Bible says THAT GOD MAY BE ALL IN ALL, It uses the same words for the Son:

*. Colossians 3 :11 "KJV:Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but CHRIST IS ALL, AND IN ALL.

So from the example above, you may give positions to them in order to show difference,

The truth is that one is one. After the equal sign (=) it is still 1(one), THE ALMIGHTY ONE!

1. Mention just one person in church history (1st/2nd century) after the last Apostle that preached Jesus is Angel.
2. Show me a text that said Jesus is Angel. Please dont forget because i will add one more in this post.




Now to answer you

You know many times i have wondered whether you read post at all before commenting. If you did, there are things you wont be putting in your reply. You need to develop the attitude of reading others well before commenting.


Now read this again, i will give you summary of what i wrote.

When you say Jesus, Son and then say again that he cant be God, it is either you arent reading what you are typing. Jesus is a name of a man not a name of a God, Son implies there is a Father. Hence, the statement should let you know that that referred to Christ humanity not divinity, hence he is subjected to flesh. Jesus regularlyy called himself "son of man". That is a man.

Hence,
He worshiped, God dont worship God
He has a Father
He is submissive even unto death. God dont die.

So, it is lack of knowledge to be asking if Jesus worship, or referred to God as Father. Be bold in understanding. God became man, means he is man, ma, man. Hope that help you. So, stop asking questions of Christ humanity to judge his divinity.

The word became FLESH that is JESUS (John 1:14). The flesh is what is called Jesus. He has to be born as man to take up the name. Hence,the son, is as related to human.

God wont dwell with man as God, Emmanuel means God with us. With us mean, God with us in the Flesh, that is Jesus. So, the revelation of the Son is in his humanity not in his divinity.

Christ means anointed one, God cannot be anointed, it takes man, flesh to be anointed. hence Jesus Christ mean, a man anointed, not a God anointed.



So, how will this help you.

Whenever you see Jesus call the father, call God, worship God, that is to affirm his humanity. Man was created to worship God. God doesn't worship God or himself. God became man (Jesus) for your sake hence, he (Jesus, man) has a FatherGod because Christ now mean God in flesh hence, he must have a beginning, a birth, a growing up (God dont grow up), he was tired, he cried, he slept, God dont. So, you see man in Jesus. Those are realities of humanities. The reason he has to be man is for you and i. Man sin, man must be punished, make sacrifice for sin offering to save man.

You now need to be smart to know what Jesus is in humanity, and what Jesus is in divinity. The question at hand here is WHAT IS THE DIVINITY OF JESUS. hos humanity is clear.

So, who was Christ before he came in flesh? the bible language is clear enough to answer you.


Now, kindly give me answers to this as i see you guys always avoiding question s.

1 Cor 8:5
5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.


A modification of the verses will be.
...as there be gods many, But to us there is but one God
...as there be lords many, But to us there is but one Lord, Christ.

So,
1. How many Lord do you have?
2. Who is that Lord?

The words of Jesus Christ @Revelations 3:12 and John 20:17 no dey your Bible again.
. no wahala
grin grin
You sef, I know no which one you dey.

I said give me the features of the ONLY TRUE GOD that you know from the Bible.

Till now I have not received any.

You said if person fall before his village elders, it doesn't mean he's worshipping the village elders, right?

QUESTIONS:

Why then do you call angels and contemporary believers who are falling before Jesus as idol worshippers?

2. Are you saying nobody (trinitarian) is worshipping Jesus?

They're paying homage?

In a clear terms, trinitarians are paying homage to Jesus not that they are worshipping Jesus.

Is that what you are saying?

3. Who/what is the idol that the worshipers
are worshipping?

Below is what I learned from Matthew 4:10 and John 12:26:

JESUS SAID HIMSELF IS THE TRUE GOD:

*. Matthew 4:10 says
"KJV:Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, AND HIM ONLY SHALT THOU SERVE.

*. John 12:26 "KJV:If any MAN SERVE ME, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any MAN SERVE ME, him will my Father honour.


NOTE, He said ONLY the Lord your God you will serve,

He then said IF any man SERVE Him the Father will honour such a person.

He didn't say 'God will honour him' in this verse but 'Father will honour him'.

Because He had assumed His office as God in that verse.

He said ONLY God you have to serve, and said afterward SERVE ME.

In other words, He is saying I AM THE LORD THY GOD only whom you shall serve.

I have shown you how the people were only saying 'it is the voice of God'

and the man to whom they said it was killed by angel.

What about the king of Babylon?

He was at a point referred to as king of Kings.

He spent some years in the bush for giving himself the glory due God.

God said and meant it that He won't give His glory to another.

But you and your organization want to force us to believe that Jesus is another.

Acts 12:22 "KJV:And the people gave a shout, saying, It IS THE VOICE OF A GOD, and not of a man.
23
KJV:And immediately the ANGEL OF THE LORD SMOTE HIM, BECAUSE HE GAVE NOT GOD THE GLORY: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.


Janosky, the word translated a god in acts 12:22 is the same with the one in John 1:1.

Whether human beings translated it 'a god' or 'God' i.e separating it with small letter g and big letter G.

Heaven knows it means the true God!

GOD CAN NEVER GIVE HIS GLORY TO ANOTHER!

JESUS IS NOT ANOTHER!!

*. ISAIAH 47:11 "
KJV:For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? and I WILL NOT GIVE MY GLORY UNTO ANOTHER.

*. Acts 12: 23 "
KJV:And immediately THE ANGEL OF THE LORD SMOTE HIM, BECAUSE HE GAVE NOT GOD THE GLORY: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.

That which angels are doing, Thomas did, Stephen did, Paul and Peter did; that is what I'm doing.


AM I WORSHIPPING JESUS OR I'M PAYING HOMAGE TO JESUS?

*. REVELATION 5:8 "
KJV:And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders FELL DOWN BEFORE THE LAMB, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.

STEPHEN, FULL OF THE HOLY GHOST, PRAYED TO JESUS:
*. Acts 7: 59 "
KJV:And they stoned Stephen, CALLING UPON GOD, and saying, LORD JESUS, receive my spirit.
60
KJV:And he kneeled down, and CRIED WITH a LOUD VOICE, LORD, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

THOMAS CALLED JESUS MY LORD AND MY GOD:

*. John 20:28 "KJV:And THOMAS answered and said unto him, MY LORD AND MY GOD.

JESUS SAID HIMSELF IS THE TRUE GOD:

*. Matthew 4:10 says

"KJV:Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, AND HIM ONLY SHALT THOU SERVE.

*. John 12:26 "KJV:If any MAN SERVE ME, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any MAN SERVE ME, him will my Father honour.


NOTE, He said ONLY the Lord your God you will serve,

He then said IF I SERVE Him the Father will honour ME.

He didn't say 'God will honour him' in this verse but 'Father will honour him'.

Because He had assumed His office as God in that verse.

He said ONLY God you have to serve, and said afterward SERVE ME.

In other words, He is saying I AM THE LORD THY GOD only whom you shall serve.

I have shown you how the people were only saying 'it is the voice of God'

and the man to whom they said it was killed by angel.

What about the king of Babylon?

He was at a point referred to as king of Kings.

He spent some years in the bush for giving himself the glory due God.

God said and meant it that He won't give His glory to another.

But you and your organization want to force us to believe that Jesus is another.

Acts 12:22 "KJV:And the people gave a shout, saying, It IS THE VOICE OF A GOD, and not of a man.
23
KJV:And immediately the ANGEL OF THE LORD SMOTE HIM, BECAUSE HE GAVE NOT GOD THE GLORY: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.


Maximus 69, the word translated a god in acts 12:22 is the same with the one in John 1:1.

Whether human beings translated it 'a god' or 'God'

Heaven knows it means the true God!

GOD CAN NEVER GIVE HIS GLORY TO ANOTHER!

JESUS IS NOT ANOTHER!!

*. ISAIAH 47:11 "
KJV:For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? and I WILL NOT GIVE MY GLORY UNTO ANOTHER.

*. Acts 12: 23 "
KJV:And immediately THE ANGEL OF THE LORD SMOTE HIM, BECAUSE HE GAVE NOT GOD THE GLORY: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.

That which angels are doing, Thomas did, Stephen did, Paul and Peter did; that is what I'm doing.

fruit of the Jehovah.

Similarly, Jehovah’s Witnesses are not ignorant of others’ beliefs. They have gained considerable basic knowledge of the doctrinal beliefs of religions common in their area. Consideration to such teachings has been given in the book What Has Religion Done for Mankind? as well as numerous articles in The Watchtower and Awake! Such information on various religions is presented in the context of its contrast with accurate Biblical teachings......... Watchtower May 1 1984

The above post from one of your publication shows why it has no MEANING here to state the name of the denominations. Read all the bolded part. Do you AGREE to all of it? grin grin grin

Look at a comment passed over the extract from that magazine above below........

Witnesses may say they are ‘informed about other religions and their beliefs.’ But for the vast majority, the information they have is only what their own religious organization has seen fit to give them. It is prepackaged, carefully edited information, generally with the conclusions already spelled out for them.

You see why you guys got STUCKED tackling the issues before and continually and HIDE under the cover of what is the name of the denominations we belong.

Did your ORGANIZATION not say they have " basic knowledge of the doctrinal beliefs of religions common in their area. grin grin grin grin grin which they have taught you?

What's the essence of asking name of denominations when you have been taught?

Won't you have known many of them if you had collected their leaflets and booklets handed out by other denominations?

Obviously your response to that will be there is nothing in those books and booklets you are not familiar with grin grin grin grin grin grin yet asking for name of CHURCH. No wonder many had stated here it of no meaning and use to you and your brothers.

It is the same basic doctrinal beliefs that the ORGANIZATION you belong have taught you DrLiveLogic brought forward and you hide under the cover of WHAT'S THE NAME OF YOUR CHURCH like your brothers here.
I have thought about it and I can't find the reasons why someone would promote his church name above the name of Jesus.

Every true evangelist preach and teach about the name JESUS!

JWs would go about saying DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE TRUE GOD?

Or WHICH GROUP IS DOING THE WILL OF JEHOVAH?

Maximus 69 have promoted the organization more than Jesus.

Which is not Biblical.

Jesus only is our messages!

You don't understand the things of God by reasonings. They are understood by your spirit. Besides, the Jehovah witness organization are not Christians. They are anti Christ. You have to believe in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus to be a Christian. They don't believe Jesus rose from the dead bodily. So, what is the essence of their faith if Jesus did not rise from the dead bodily? Then, what happened to the body of Jesus? This is the biggest lie ever told in history. Don't ever listen to them. They are anti Christ disguised as ministers of light.
I agree that THEY ARE NOT CHRISTIANS.

Jesus, God the Son, said that if I, you or anyone SERVE Him the Father will honour (accept, Revere, salute) such a person.

But JWs say whoever worships/serves/prays to Jesus is an idol worshipper.

Who shall we believe?

It was from amongst those who already believe in him (disciples) that Jesus selected his 12 Apostles {Luke 6:13-16} so the Apostles were already believers.
The third James (former Judaist) that became a Christian later was one of Jesus' siblings! Matthew 13:55

So they were three in total, two Apostles and one Judaists who is Jesus' brother! smiley
In my own understanding, Mary, the mother of Jesus has a cousin sister called Mary.

This Jesus mother's sister gave birth to this James, and possibly John also.

That's why James could be referred as the Lord's brother.

That's why Jesus entrusted His mother into John's hand and said ' behold your mother'

James and John's mother and Jesus' mother are cousin sisters.

Let's see the following:

*. John 19: 25 "Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and HIS MOTHER'S SISTER, MARY the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.

*. Mark 15:40 "KJV:There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and MARY THE MOTHER OF JAMES THE LESS and of Joses, and Salome;

*. Luke 24.10 "
KJV:It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna, and MARY THE MOTHER OF JAMES, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.

*. Acts 12:12
KJV:And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of MARY THE MOTHER OF JOHN, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying.

*. Acts 1:14 "
KJV:These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and MARY THE MOTHER OF JESUS, and with his brethren.

Note! The 1st quot (John 19:25) says his mother; the last quot (Acts1:14) says MARY THE MOTHER OF JESUS.

What I'm saying is that any time the Mary is the Jesus mother, they don't hesitate to let us know!

I always try to stop were the Bible stops.

I think it is important we look at your quotation;

Matthew 13:55 "KJV:Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, JAMES, and Joses, and SIMON, and JUDAS?

NOTE! These 3 names JAMES, SIMON and JUDAS are mentioned in the 12 apostles.

I could not see what makes you quote the verse

You can help by giving me what connect your claim to the verse.

Galatians 1:19 TLB
The only other apostle I met at that time was James, the Lord’s brother
In the gospel we have 12 apostles.

*. Luke 6:13 "

All of them are called DISCIPLES,
but the twelve are called APOSTLES.

The Jewish customs and traditions helps in the understanding of certain verses in the Bible.
For instance, when dying on the torture stake Jesus entrusted the care of Mary(his mother) in the hands of Apostle John {John 19:26-27} this was totally wrong for Jews to live the care of their aged parents in the hands of others {Exodus 20:12} so for Jesus to have said that, it means all of Mary's children have disowned her. Because back then that's what the Jews agreed to do to anyone that acknowledges Jesus as Christ {John 9:22} Mary who at her oldage is becoming a believer would definitely had issues with her children.
That's why Jesus' specifically assigned Apostle John (who was much younger than other Apostle) to take care of her.

Of course the Bible mentioned that James and Jude became Christians but it was much later so there is no way any of the two can stand up to speak in behalf of all those who have been serving as Christians before them, not even if they are Jesus' blood brother, in Christianity nepotism has no room! smiley
Which of the JAMES became an apostle after CHRIST'S DEATH?

You can always back up your answers and explanations with Bible references to help me understand what you are saying.

Jesus has two people answering the name JAMES.
And there's no time the Bible says that any of them (James) was changed after Christ's death.

So I continue to wonder were people get the above concept from.

Let's see the following:

*. Matthew 10:2-4 "KJV:Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; JAMES THE SON OF ZEBEDEE, and John his brother;
3
KJV:Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; JAMES THE SON OF ALPHAEUS, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;
4
KJV:Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

*. Matthew 27:56
KJV:Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of JAMES and Joses, and the mother of Zebedees children.

One is called JAMES THE SON OF ZEBEDEE,

another is called JAMES THE SON OF ALPHAEUS.

PLEASE, which of them believe after CHRIST'S DEATH?
