Well the one and only issue Jesus had with the religious leaders of his time is telling them nobody can see God except through him {John 14:6} so if you're expecting his true followers to say otherwise then i'm afraid you don't know Jesus! John 15:19
We are not saying we are the only good people in the world, of course there are good people in all the religions on this planet but when it comes to the one and only group that knows how to practice pure worship then there's no other than JWs. That's what we are saying!

Remember that during the time God chose the nation of Israel there are good people in all other lands but the one and only nation that knows the only true God is Israel. So even if there are nice and kind people like TB Joshua trying to practice Christianity the best way they feel their form of worship is unacceptable to God because it can't produce the FRUIT.
You've been trying to falsify TB Joshua's ministry but if you can't explain how the FRUIT works then your continuous criticism against that man's church is HYPOCRITICAL! smiley


Image123:

Stop clowning around, you are not Jesus Christ, are you? God is incomparable, He is the way, the truth and the life. You are not. Jesus never went around telling others that He is the only good one, or that only people following Him about are good.
Mar 9:38  And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us. 
Mar 9:39  But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.


Your denomination has indoctrinated you otherwise. You are proud.
Now, will you accept money for your magazines or not?

I agree with you:
that Jesus has a prehuman existence, that He was sent as a Messenger from heaven (Mal 3:1)
He did deliver the message as the messenger in his human existence (John 12:49,7:28)
And his posthuman existence, he still continue as servant Jesus to his God(Act 3:13) that still delivers his father's messages (Rev 1:1)

Firstly.

This isnt the view i hold about Christ preexistence. And the scriptures you presented never point to Christ as you explained.

Malachi 3:1
3 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.

The question you should seek to answer here is

1. who is the messenger
2. who is the "me"
3. who is the Lord

Note this
Also your interpretation is only assuming meaning to just one verse without considering the context and the whole writing. Check through and read through Malachi to identify the person of the "messenger". It was explicit later in the writing. That is how you can get the right interpretation. When you interpret scriptures in pockets you will get your interpretation wrong.

And there is no relationship between this and John 12:49,7:28

And yet you are still making lot of assumption and mixup between an angelic being and human messenger. This has caused a mixed up in your interpretation.

Wow, intelligent questions you have here no doubt. I like that you acknowledge that the name Jesus was given to him to him only when he was given birth to by Mary . Even 'Christ' was given to him when he was baptized and anointed .
Yes! He has a personal name too in heaven and we can discuss it when you're cleared with the above

Both John the baptist and Jesus of Nazareth are messengers of Jehovah.
When Jehovah says "i am coming or i am going" it doesn't mean it's the Almighty God Himself that's walking in the earth. NO!
It simply means Jehovah will empower that messenger (angel) with his spirit so that the messenger will act as JEHOVAH'S representative!

For example when Jehovah said "i'm going down to Egypt" {Exodus 3:2-5} He never left His throne in Heaven rather it was an angel that represented Him throughout! Exodus 13:21 compare to14:19

So when God said He will send a messenger ahead of His arrival it simply means someone will have to prepare the minds of the Israelites ahead to welcome the Messiah.

Remember what Moses said about Jesus "God will raise another PROPHET like me in your midst" Deuteronomy 18:15 compare to Act 3:22

That's why Jesus himself quoted Isaiah's prophesy that says "Jehovah's Spirit is upon me" Luke 4:18 compare to Isaiah 61:1-2

So it's not Jehovah Himself that is coming, NO!
But a messenger upon whom Jehovah will give His spirit to act as His representative! smiley

Many of these have been answered if you check our previous conversations on this same thread.
I advise the other guy to do some basic research, and I hope you'll do that too.
it will surprise you that humans are refered to as Angel too(Re 2:1, 8, 12, 18)
The Word (Angel) is just a title that means messenger .
Spirit Sons of God that are loyal to God's sovereign are delivering his messages are called his (Malak, Aggelos, Angel) Messengers
Even, Jesus have his own Messengers(Malak, Angel)too.

Do you mean Jesus is not a messenger/servant? cheesy

Not sure you read my post well.

This is the summary.

Were human called messenger (angel) in the bible? Yes, why? Because of certain responsibility.

Are human angelic being? I am sure you know they arent.

Is Jesus human? Yes,
Why was he referred to as messenger? He is human carrying God's message. He wasnt a messenger relating to angelic being. Same as all Apostles and all believers,.

Does that makes him angelic being? No.



So, usage of angel (angelos) must be interpreted in context not given omnibus meaning as you do. Like i told you, it is human language and must be put in context which you arent doing.

No one called Paul, Peter angelic being, yet they are servants of God. Why is Jesus then called angelic being because he is referred to God's servants? God servants (human being) are humans used of God. That doesnt make then angelic being.

You have left the verse in contention here. Also you havent considered the body of that book (Malachi).
The OP i quoted said (Mal 3:1) that the "messenger" was referring to Jesus. This is the focus.

So, in reading the writings of Malachi as a book will clear this for us. Mostly Malachi 3 and 4



I will paraphrase it for you here.

Malachi 3:1
3 “I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come,” says the Lord Almighty.

Malachi 4:1
4 “Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and the day that is coming will set them on fire,” says the Lord Almighty. “Not a root or a branch will be left to them.

vs 5
5 “See, I will send the prophet Elijah to you before that great and dreadful day of the Lord comes. 6 He will turn the hearts of the parents to their children, and the hearts of the children to their parents; or else I will come and strike the land with total destruction.”

Mal 4:5 already made it clear to you what he was talking about in Mal 3:1.


When you read the whole of Malachi and then read Matthew you will know that Mal wasnt referring to Jesus as the messenger but John. That is obvious. So a proper reading is important not a pocket interpretation of the scriptures which wont give a true picture.


So, haddeylium, referring to the messenger in Malachi as Jesus is a misinterpretation.
Mal 4:5 answers Mal 3:1 with a side study of Matt 11:2, John 14:6



Jesus already cleared this also speaking about John the Baptist, Jesus quoted Malachi verbatim.

Matt 11:10 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
Mal 3:1 “I will [b]send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me.[/b]


That is the parallel.

Also
Matt 11:14 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.

Compare to Mal 4:5
5 “See, I will send the prophet Elijah to you

Jesus quoted and explained Malachi verbatim, so i dont think anyone should have issue with this.

Three distinct People where identified here
Two Messengers and the one who sent them !
John the Baptist appeared as the messenger who prepared the way before Jehovah by getting the Jews ready for the coming of the God's representative 'messenger of the covenant(Mat 21: 12,13; Mk 11: 15-17)

compare
Isaiah 42:1
Look! My servant(Jesus, in his prehuman existence), whom I support! My chosen one, whom I have approved! I have put my spirit in him; He will bring justice to the nations.

Your question is just one!
Nowhere in the Bible is an individual referred to as 'Angellic being' . This is just an English abstract word usage that might confused you .

What we have are 'the spirit sons of God in heaven (Job 38:7) with their own individual personal names. They're called 'Messenger '(Angel, Malak) because they're submitting to God's superior authority. The word Angel is just a title, they're spirit sons of God's .
That's why people do referred to some 'spirit sons of God' that backslided as 'Fallen Angel/Messenger".
Which means they're not delivering his message any longer.
Re: Study The Bible With Jehovah's Witnesses! by MaxInDHouse(m): 12:42pm On Jun 08, 2021

You are truly contradicting yourself. This wasnt your position earlier.

But i hope its clearer now, that being called an angel doesnt make you angel by creation. This is a distinction you never made and that can be manipulated to start calling Jesus angel by creation.

You are mixing a lot up when you are explaining. This is the reason i like separating issues.
You moved from Mal to Isa without properly explaining Malachi.

Explanation of the Scriptures cannot be paraphrased. You must explain where your interpretation is coming from.



In Malachi.
3 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.

1. The first messenger I will send my messenger

It was clear that he was speaking about John the Baptist. Notice, your acceptance of John (human, man) as a messenger, not as preexistence. You didnt argue this. You never said John existed as one angel somewhere before. Even though, here John was yet to be born, yet you know he was speaking about a man not a preexisting servant. A man to be born as servant.


2. The Lord, messenger of the covenant

Now a second personality. The Lord. Is Malachi calling his servant in preexistence or in humanity?

Notice his description and activities.
- whom ye seek (Israel isnt seeking an angel but a deliverer, a man as Moses, human.
- shall suddenly come to his temple (temple, is earthly, this refers to his earthly mission)


The personality is described in men's activities not in preexistence. This is referring to Christ work on earth. It is a prophecy of his humanity and not preexistence. You missed it when referring to Christ preexistence as servant here. Malachi never did.
This servanthood is his function on earth as man (messenger of covenant).

Please, look at it well and reread.
That is the proper context of Malachi.

Likewise Isa 42 you quoted was referring to a man. Please read full context.

Isa 42:1
Behold [b]my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.[/b]

My servant here, is a man's duty to God.

he already told you in verse 2-4

Please read properly.
2 He shall not cry, nor[b] lift up[/b], nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
4 He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.


Cry, lift up, discouraged. These are attribute of man. He was describing a man, not a spirit being, not a preexistence.

Bring judgement to Gentiles, judgment in the earth....


This is man. A Lord and ruler. not a spirit being.

Isaiah was prophesying and speaking about the humanity of Christ. hence the servanthood. he never referred to Jesus as servant in his preexistence.

Let context always deliver you. Read the whole chapter, you will understand better, same for Malachi, read Malachi 2 and 3.

5) How did Angel Michael become Jesus Christ ?
That is what your organization wants you to believe and that is heresy ;

2 Peter 2:1 KJV
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

Biblical evidences that Jesus is not Angel Michael are :

1) Jude 1:9 KJV
Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
ANGEL MICHAEL COULD NOT REBUKE SATAN HIMSELF BUT BY THE LORD.

Luke 4:8 KJV
And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

BUT JESUS IN THE FLESH , IN HUMAN FORM , IN A LOWER STATE THAN THE ANGELS COULD REBUKE SATAN DIRECTLY AND NOT '' IN THE NAME OF THE LORD''.

That shows that Angel Michael rebuked Satan the Jesus name in Jude 1:9 above.


No,not at all
Jude 1:9
But Michael the Archangel, who, when he was speaking with The Devil about the body of Moses, did not speak to bring a slanderous judgment against him, but he said, “THE LORD JEHOVAH will rebuke you.”

Jude 1:9 "Jehovah rebuke you" is a direct quote of Zechariah 3:2.
The name Jehovah was removed & replaced with "Lord" @ Jude 1:9 & Zechariah 3:2.
You were DECEIVED to assume its Jesus.



Archangel Michael,Jesus Christ @ Jude 1:9, followed the biblical example at Zephaniah 3:2 & 2 Peter 2:11.

Moses died many many centuries before Jesus earthly ministry, the dispute was strictly about Moses body, not dispute about Supremacy or Authority.

Your Trinity mentors the Geneva Bible, knew since 1599 that Jesus Christ is archangel Michael.
Other evidences abound (Screenshots).
Enilove, that is the bitter truth.

Like I said before , you are the one that will remain a baby to your parents and not me.

How was Adam created ?
He was created from dust . Was Jesus created from dust like Adam ?
Adam was created in the image of God the Father and God the Son . Does that mean Adam was created the way the Father is with all the Glory of God ?
Can Adam give life to nonliving things like Jesus?
Among the creations of God , what did Adam create and which one amongst them was not created by Jesus Christ ?

The fact that Jesus Christ came in the form of man does not mean he is equal to man . And if not equal to man but equal to God , then he is God and not man nor Angel.

Philippians 2:6-11 KJV
Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: [7] But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: [8] And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. [9] Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: [10] That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; [11] And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

I am sure you don't know what you are saying.
Jesus was created before the world & before Adam.
John 1:1, 1599 Geneva Bible
"That Word begotten before all worlds"
"The first born of every creature" ,Col 1:15.

@ Revelation 3:5, 2:27, 3:12,21,in heaven did Jesus tell you he is equal to God?

The Trinitarian invented expression @ Phillipians 2:6,
"Thought it not robbery to be equal to God"
Jesus himself rejects & debunks it

What is hard for trinitarians to digest , that God the Father is different from God the Son or what ?

A child when not yet matured is called a child .
Jesus is a Son of God .

3) You said any spirit who obeys the commands of God is an angel .
Are the Twenty Four Elders in heaven who are obeying and worshiping God in heaven Angels ?
You Jehovah witnesses love assumptions too much.

4) Where did Jesus call himself and Angel in John 7:16 ? Jesus said his Father sent him. Does a father has authority to send his son a message or not ?
All you are doing is to assume what is not and to discard what is written in the Bible.
Despite reading in Hebrew 1: 13 that Jesus is not an Angel , you are still assuming what is not .

Hebrews 1:13 KJV
But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?

Point 1.
Job 38:1-7, all the morning Stars & sons of God applauded Yahweh's Creative works.
Is Jesus Christ a morning star? Is Jesus a son of God?
Is Satan a morning star? Is Satan a son of God?

You are truly contradicting yourself. This wasnt your position earlier.

But i hope its clearer now, that being called an angel doesnt make you angel by creation. This is a distinction you never made and that can be manipulated to start calling Jesus angel by creation.

Lmao wink
That's why I employed you to start reading from the onset wink
You just at the middle and missed the head of the discussion I was having with the other guys.
The other guy have understand and stop replying. I would advise you do the same too. Start the thread from one and my meditate on it.

According to God's Word, I've always maintained that the word 'Angel'(messenger) is just a title just as King and God is. You didn't dispute this, do you?
Anyone with the qualified as God's Messenger (Malak, Angel) must be A spirit son of God that can be send on an errand as a Messenger
I don't need to spoon-feed you on this. This is just as basic.

Found anything like angelic being in the Bible yet?
Don't let it confused you wink

Bro, you arent addressing issues you raised. You are only contradicting yourself the more.

There is a quote of yours i addressed and that should be the focus. I have also tried as much to keep you on focus as you seems to not find a stand in what you are saying and mixing things up.

This is the focus of our discussion.
The person you responded was asking if Jesus was an angel.

Obviously your response showed that you know he is referring to angelic being, yet you subtly start talking about messenger, malak, angelo usage. The fact that you know you hold a view that Jesus was an angelic being yet perambulating on discussing human messenger as angels is not honest. This is what i have cleared you on but you are still roaming texts around the issue.

To recap



Firstly, the issue of everyone used of God as angels (angels of God, angelic being) is false. you arent making a distinction in this. Its either you are deliberately ignoring it or you arent honest with it. I have asked you if you are angelic being. Or arent you use of God. Kindly stop threading this line, you have no point here.

Secondly, i address your wrong interpretation of Mal 3, Isa 42,
You arent reading the scriptures as supposed. This is what i expect you to do and not be arguing on what is clear and written. Expect you dont have an open mind and only want to argue. The scriptures are clear and that is what you should use to discuss.

Lastly, trying to fuse Jesus as angelic being into your subtle narrative is not only unbiblical, it is dishonest. No scripture and i say again, no single scriptures in the whole of the Bible referred to Jesus as angelic being. This is the focus of the discussion. Trying to subtling refer to angels as messenger and then call Jesus angel is subtle denial of the scriptures.

Please give your time to read Mal 3 and Isa 42 those are your base text for the misinterpretation.
And read them properly.

I boldly tell you that Jesus was not an angel, this is the dispute and your subtle misinterpretation calling him one.

Bro, you are mixing up scriptures.

Saying Jesus and still using scriptures of heavenly appearance to explain him shows you arent considering why the name Jesus was.

Jesus is the name of a man.
So anywhere in those scriptures you quoted above and see Jesus or was speaking about his early mission should be treated as such.

Using human name (Jesus) to explain angelic being is a first point of Biblical error. Hence all the scriptures you quoted above about angels never spoke about Jesus. You were the one reading Jesus into it.
Re: Study The Bible With Jehovah's Witnesses! by MaxInDHouse(m): 10:31am On Jun 09, 2021
His name before coming to the earth is Michael but after his birth on planet earth his name became Jesus and that is the name to which if mentioned all creatures both in heaven and on earth must bow! Philippians 2:10
Of course they're not just kneeling for Jesus but the one who gave Jesus the name above all other names, so once you're bowing in the name JEHOVAH approves then you are bowing before God's throne! Romans 14:11

So we know that in his prehuman existence he is called Michael but now the name Jesus reigns both in heaven and on earth! Matthew 28:18 smiley

Emusan:

Yes and the scripture confirmed that ALL BELIEVERS receive the new birth.
John 1:12-13 says "However, to all who did receive him, he gave authority to become God’s children, because they were exercising faith in his name." NWT
How will they be TRANSFORMED? Are they not BORN AGAIN OR REBIRTH anymore?
Funny you, or you forgot EVERYONE will be RESURRECTED.
Well, you have right to believe what you want but not what the scripture says because the window is opened to "To ALL WHO DID RECEIVE HIM"
So, it can't be limited to 144,000 because millions did receive him.
Matt 5:5 says "Blessed are the meek and gentle—they will inherit the earth."
The people Jesus said will INHERIT the earth are THE MEEK, are you saying those who'll have heavenly inheritance are not MEEK & GENTLE?
But the fact still remains that, "TO ALL WHO DID RECEIVE HIM" they are BORN AGAIN.
Question!
Who will born those who have their inheritance on earth?

Yes, after the millennial rule of Christ, all humans living on earth would be completely free from sin(Revelation 22:1,2) and hence be called Jehovah’s sons and daughters. Romans 8:21
But for now, we’re still children of wrath(Romans 5:12) until we pass the final test. Revelation 20:1-3

My question is still pending since two days now:
DappaD:

The question is, will those whom Jesus said would have their inheritance on earth, need to be born again? Matthew 5:5
If yes, of what use will it be since Revelation 21:3 says that it is mankind(flesh and blood) that will inherit the blessings listed in Revelation 21:4?

Your Bible interpretation skill needs to be adjusted. The way you have been pointing to scriptures and explain them with your imagination is dangerous to the inspired book.

You were firstly seeing Jesus in Mal 3 to Isa 42, I corrected you. I hope that one is clear. Now you moved to Job 2:1 and seeing Jesus there again. To what end?

This is Job 2:1
J[b]ob 2:1[/b]- Afterward the day came when the [i]sons of the true God entered to take their station before Jehovah[/i]

Where exactly do you see Jesus here. It's obvious you are feeding from the self revelation people who will always ignore biblical text and insert their imaginations that leads to confusion.

You need to quit imagining and see the Bible text well. Jesus doesn't exist in Job 2,its not written, it's not possible.



Remember my first post to you, that should be a good guide for your interpretation

Read it again >>> when ever you say Jesus, you are refering to a man born of man. That is him name in humanity, that is flesh and blood. You aren't refering to a spirit.

Seeing Jesus gathering in book of Job is a your imagination. Allow the scriptures to speak for itself.

Job told you those who gathered.

Sons of God, a language used for angels in OT. And God.

Jesus (human) was born thousands of years after this events. Stop overthinking in other to drive a false explanation of Jesus as angel. He wasn't there, it was GOD that was there. GOD, notice that emphasis.



So, I will advise you.

You need to stop dropping texts of scriptures you never know or read properly. All your texts are totally out of the authors intention but I don't want to assume they are deliberate. I want to believe it's a sign of not properly studying God's word.

So please, start reading bible as it is inspired, not as you are inspired. This is how you will find a true interpretation.

Malachi 3:1
1599 Geneva Bible

3 1 Of the messenger of the Lord, John Baptist, and of Christ’s office.

1 Behold, I will send my [a]messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord whom ye seek, shall speedily come to his Temple: even the [c]messenger of the Covenant, whom ye desire: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.

a. Malachi 3:1 This is meant of John Baptist, as
Christ expoundeth it, Luke 7:27.
b. Malachi 3:1 Meaning, Messiah, Ps. 40:1, 7;
Dan. 9:17, 25.

c. Malachi 3:1 That is, Christ, by whom the covenant was made and ratified, who is called the Angel or messenger of the covenant, because he reconcileth us to his father and is Lord or king, because he hath the government of his Church."

Amplified Bible

The Purifier
3 “Behold, I am going to send My [a]messenger, and he will prepare and clear the way before Me. And the Lord [the Messiah], whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple; the [b]Messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight, [/b]behold, He is coming,” says the Lord of hosts.(A)

You're hungry for knowledge, but you need to have the right attitude to learn.
To your question.

Festofost, it is not uncommon that people have more than a personal name in the Bible.
Only the names of two of God’s faithful angels (Malak:Messenger) appear in the Bible, Michael, and Gabriel others who appeared as messengers to men declined to give their names when asked.
While those two angels are mentioned by name, only Michael, is called the Archangel. (Judges 13:18), (Genesis 32:29)

© Apart from Michael, No Archangel is mentioned in the Bible.And the term Archangel was never used in plural to show shows that there only exist only An Archangel.
Michael is described as “the” archangel, implying that he alone bears that designation. So, Jehovah has delegated only one chief angel with authority over the other angels.

©Another individual spoken as having angels subject to his command is Jesus Christ. (Matthew 13:41wink
The apostle Paul spoke of “the Lord Jesus” and “his” powerful angels(Messenger).
But you who suffer tribulation will be given relief along with us at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his powerful angels (2 Thess1:7 )

Jesus is not just Angel but an Archangel in heaven.

The apostle Paul prophesied:
“The Lord himself will descend from heaven with a commanding call, with an archangel’s voice and with God’s trumpet, and those who are dead in union with Christ will rise first.” (1 Thes 4:16)

Jesus here, is being described as God’s Messianic King and it says he speaks with “an archangel’s voice.”
Simple and straight.
You might want to say he borrowed the 'Archangel's voice'
The Bible has already made it clear that it's Jesus' voice of command that will resurrect the dead

The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.”​—Joh 5:26-29.

Just as how 'A roar' belongs to 'A lion' same way an 'Archangel's voice' belongs to 'Archangel'.

The Scriptures point to the resurrected Jesus Christ as the chief of all angels—Michael the archangel.

Thank you

I would have said I expected better from you as per the double standards but I guess I would be wrong because for a man basing his understanding of the nature of God from what pagans gathered around to discuss in the council of Nicea says a lot about someone telling another to treat God’s word as inspired.

So if JWs say Jesus is Archangel Michael, let them argue from now till tomorrow the truth remains that it's only the Organization that believe Jesus is Michael can produce the FRUIT of God's Holy Spirit in their midst, then there's no need dragging issues with any of them!

Whoever wants to know the secret of the LOVE, JOY and PEACE in our gathering should come and learn, anyone who feels he knows better is free to pitch his tent elsewhere! smiley



Janosky:


Hupernikao is GIBBERISHLY mounting his defense for the man made scam called Trinity.

His Fellow Trinitarian Bible Translators have exposed his GIBBERISH denial of Jesus Christ angelic status time & again.
