How was he a man? How is he proving stubborn? How can u handle the situation?
Don't worry OP will attend to you, this is not my thread! smiley

Truvelisback:
The Bible says he(Melchizedek) has no father nor mother. And u said he was a man. How did he come into existence? Did he fall from heaven? Don't teach what u don't know.
Did you watch the video or read the write up?
Did you notice the use of 'this man' in the book of Hebrews in reference to him?
A little attention to details will do you a bit of good.

Yes ,he did. He no fall my hand.
It would be instructive for you and MaxinDHouse to CAREFULLY watch this and see how it punches holes on your translation.
You can't use one one standard in one portion and switch to another elsewhere.

This is how to know people who are easily carried away by every windblow!
If you've watch or listen to any video what will prove that you got the sense in it is when you are able to put it in your own words. Directing others to someone's else speech shows how immature you are! smiley

I didn't know that you know all things and rely on no other person.
Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.
Proverbs 15:22 NIV

When your colleague Janosky pasted someone else's material are you saying he's cheap or immature too?

If you don't have much data just watch only the first ten minutes of the video. Ten minutes should not cost you much; should it?
However, if you are afraid of having your faith in your position shaken then you may run for cover.

What the man is saying is this: those who translated the New World Translation did not use the same yardstick they used in translating John 1:1 into "the Word was a god" in other portions that had the same Greek wordings, even in the same John's gospel. The question is: How come?

I hope I've helped you a little.

The many advisers our God is talking about are not people from different schools of thought otherwise you should take advices from all kinds of people and religionists of all sort. I hope you now grasp the PRACTICAL APPLICATION of what you quoted!

When your colleague Janosky pasted someone else's material are you saying he's cheap or immature too?
I'm not Janosky, you should have asked him for the reason behind that. I have never and will never paste anyone's material unless you and i have agreed that the person in question is the most Wonderful Counselor ever.
Jesus would have remained just a first century Jewish carpenter to me if i can't put what he said in my own words. But today i can speak with a staunch atheist or agnostic using Jesus' opinion while i rephrase it and present it in my own words. It's when the atheist or agnostic wants to start praising me that i'll then tell him that it's not my idea but what i learnt from Jesus of Nazareth. That's how intelligence works, not when you read some materials and feel i too must find it sensible simply because it makes sense to you. smiley

Guy it's not about data or fear. I'm 100% sure that there's no wisdom out there apart from in the midst of Jehovah's Witnesses. But if you feel like watching every videos and reading every material i guess you should read all the books in the world that talks about religion.
I'm much more intelligent than that Sir.
I began studying with JWs after i have noticed certain qualities that's found in no other group i didn't just accepted materials from them and start reading.
Who do they think they are?
I started giving them the chance after seeing fine qualities coupled with persistence not just books or materials Sir! smiley

This is what you should have done instead of pasting what i already know is nonsense and ingredients!
Jehovah's Witnesses translated the scriptures just like any other translators out there so their translation should also be subjected to scrutiny. But there is an adage in my dialect (Yorùbá)

"Ẹni máa dáṣọ fún ni tọrùn ẹ̀ lóyẹ ká wò"

"Whoever promises to help you should not be in need of what you're lacking"

There's no need criticizing the JWs translation of the scriptures.
Jesus said:

Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot, bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Matthew 7:16-18 KJV


The purpose of this book (Bible) is to make LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, GOODNESS, GENTLENESS, FAITH, MILDNESS and SELF-CONTROL reign in the midst of the adherents of what the book says! Galatians 5:22-23

So before anyone can come up with any sensible scrutiny let the person PRESENT a better performing group of people meeting up with those nine qualities in their gathering. James 2:18-26

Apart from that all these critics are working for Satan the devil who has nothing tangible to offer than confusion {Revelations 12:9} if JWs are able to make all those qualities WORK in their gathering so that the whole world can SEE it {Matthew 5:14-16} please let nobody say they are wrong in any way! smiley

I see that giving you too many things to chew on at once doesn't help you.

The thing is this: If a group wants me to believe them and I find out that they have misinterpreted the basis on which they make their claims, would it be wise of me to still follow such a group? No matter how good their other qualities are? An INTELLIGENT person should be the last person to want to go ahead with such a group.

If a group is found to have used its DOGMA to REINTERPRET the Scripture, how can we trust them for anything else?

That is the issue MaxinDHouse. I hope it is plain enough.

Your problem is inability to comprehend what is right in the midst of wrong ideas!

Imagine individuals claiming they're all sailors then they began mounting different vessels on the seashore only for all of them to miss their destination and then a sailor kept mending his boat even when others were using large vessels this unique sailor mount his seemingly rough and unsteady vessel on the sea while everyone were making jest of this strange looking sailor. But by the end it was only this sailor that's able to get to the right destination.
Do you still need a seer or wizard to tell you the one and only true sailor out of all those claiming they are sailors?
Jesus never said his true followers won't make mistakes but:

By their fruits you will recognize them. Never do people gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles, do they? Likewise, every good tree produces fine fruit, but every rotten tree produces worthless fruit. A good tree cannot bear worthless fruit, nor can a rotten tree produce fine fruit. Matthew 7:16-18

Guy with the EVIDENCES before all of us the JWs have successfully impressed LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, GOODNESS, GENTLENESS, FAITH, MILDNESS and SELF-CONTROL as in all the nine QUALITIES of God's Holy Spirit in the heart of millions across the globe! Galatians 5:22-23

Please PRESENT just one single group that has succeeded in doing that. Spare me all those FRUITLESS arguments that's of no use to anyone. If the JWs could successfully complete such a huge task {Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3} then it means they've been right all along! James 2:18-26 smiley

I was a Muslim and a soldier for that matter, all the Organizations on this planet have been working so hard to achieve what the JWs got within less than 150 years!
No religious Organization has been able to conquer mankind's great two enemies: Politics and Racism, but JWs have done it!

So you can continue deceiving yourself with FRUITLESS arguments that's of no BENEFITS to you or anyone out there. The book Bible is supposed to help mankind live with LOVE, JOY and PEACE but no group of people has met that target except the JWs. Surely their Interpretation of God's WORD is ACCURATE!

Any organisation is guided by set principles and I want to believe that yours depends on the Bible. If your organisation's understanding (which comes from your interpretation of the Bible) is wrong then you can begin to see how that will affect all your positions about issues.

If you are wrong about a CORE issue of the Bible then all you do may simply end up being wood, hay and stubble. It is that serious.
If you are wrong about John 1:1 then maybe you are worshipping a different god and not really JEHOVAH.

Emusan:
I just love the way you're exposing your shameless lying mouth here.

The question is, where did the scripture says Jesus is Michael? You haven't be able to provide that.

You can keep salivating on your ignorance, the same Amplified Bible and Geneva Bible say Jesus is God, and Jesus can't be both God and Angel, definitely it's your wack tiny brain that couldn't grab their messages as usual cheesy grin cheesy grin cheesy grin cheesy grin cheesy grin cheesy
Genesis 16:7, Malachi 3:1 Amplified Bible.
When your Trinitarian mentors & his friend KNOWMORE56 can't save Emusan from his DELUSION,no one else can.
Bros, Where did your Trinitarian friend, KNOWMORE56 learn that Jesus Christ is Archangel Michael?
Go meet them for tutorials. grin grin

Isaiah 6:6-8 proven that Yahweh is NOT angel, rather Yahweh sends angels.

Emusan:
[s]As usual very shallow and incoherent reasoning and application of Scripture.
Oponu the great JaNosense!
[/s]
I said Williams Tyndale Bible agreed with 99% of Trinitarian Bibles ,can you see the reason why you're a deluded and ignorant somebody?

So Amplified Bible is part of 1%

Now, why did the same Williams Tyndale Bible so DEFER from your NWT demonic translation?
Mr LIENUS making FALSE claims.
Go & check those highlighted scriptures (from my previous post) in all other Trinitarian Bibles. grin
For Emusan mind, his Trinitarian Bibles that inserted 2 notable historical FRAUD into the holy Scriptures & proven to be published by Freemasons (King James & his court) is not demonic grin grin grin
Emusan:
[s]JaNosense, I wonder how you pass your O'level and I just pray your children won't inherit this dumbness.
[/s]
I'm still looking for where Bible called Jesus ANGEL, just your delusional idea.
Malachi 3:1
"Behold, I send My messenger,
And he will prepare the way before Me.
And the Lord, whom you seek,
Will suddenly come to His temple,
Even the Messenger of the covenant,
In whom you delight.
Behold, He is coming,"
Says the LORD of hosts.


John 12:49-50
For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak.
And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak.'
When Emusan goes on an errand, does he speak the message he was sent?


John 14:24
He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father's who sent Me.
Biblestudytools, and your fellow Trinitarian mentors as well as Jesus Christ himself have proven Emusan wrong. grin grin
Emusan:
But Jehovah used him to CREATE other things

Is this not self deceit?

And Jesus created you....which means He is your creator.


But forcing scripture to say Jesus is archangel Michael, isn't that a granular delusion?
Mark 19:4-6, Jesus Christ says you are LYING.
Jesus Christ further confirmed Genesis 1:27, Genesis14:19, 1 Corinthians 8:6 is true.

Jehovah God the Creator used him (Jesus Christ), his worker, Craftsman.

John 14:24
"He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and [b]the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father's who sent Me".
Jesus Christ is a messenger/angel of Jehovah his Father
John the Baptizer is Jehovah's angel, Matthew 11:10,Douay-Rheims Bible
"For this is he of whom it is written: Behold I send my angel before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee".

both of us must rely only on what we read in the Bible, no dogmas or opinions cooked up in the name of any spirit. We must both rely solely on the facts we find in the Bible!

Jesus said there will be many deceivers {Matthew 24:11} so many people will come up saying they want to teach people God's word then there will be contradictions everywhere after all we can all pick up the book (Bible) and start reading our own meaning into it.
But how are we going to know the right Interpretation of God's word in the face of this contradicting teachings and conflicting doctrines?
Jesus answered: "by their FRUITS you will know" Matthew 7:16-18
So if you don't want to continue deceiving yourself then you have to buy knowledge from the group who are producing the FRUIT!
You can't PRESENT any group PRACTICING Christianity in the real sense, can you?
That's EVIDENCE of the fact that you too are among the billions involved in the contradicting teachings throughout the earth.
So for you to be sincere with yourself you must humbly accept that the farmer whose work is able to yield positive result is the one that got things right!
Jesus said:

“For this reason I say to you, every sort of sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the spirit will not be forgiven. For example, whoever speaks a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the holy spirit, it will not be forgiven him, no, not in this system of things nor in that to come" Matthew 12:31-32

Jesus confirmed that Satan's agents (rotten tree) can't produce fine fruits (expected result) so it's only a good tree that can yield fine fruit {Matthew 7:17-18} what will help honest hearted and sincere individuals know that God's Holy Spirit is at WORK within a group? James 2:18-26

Of course it's the FRUIT of God's Holy Spirit that will serve as evidence of God's Holy Spirit in the gathering of Jesus' true followers {Galatians 5:22-23} note Paul's closing remarks in verse 23 "against this (any group that's able to produce the fruit of God's Holy Spirit) there is no law"
So my friend i'm telling you the PRACTICAL APPLICATION of God's word that you can't find elsewhere other than continuous arguments that's fruitless.
For your information, the book (Bible) becomes useless if all you have to keep doing is arguing with everyone without the FRUIT of God's Holy Spirit manifesting within a specific group of people, that's the only reason why Jesus said: by their FRUITS you will RECOGNIZE them!
If you can't point to any group of people PRACTICING true Christianity then that book in your hand has been rendered useless.
Regarding his true followers Jesus said:


“You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt loses its strength, how will its saltiness be restored? It is no longer usable for anything except to be thrown outside to be trampled on by men. You are the light of the world. A city cannot be hid when located on a mountain. People light a lamp and set it, not under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it shines on all those in the house. Likewise, let your light shine before men, so that they may see your fine works and give glory to your Father who is in the heavens". Matthew 5:13-16

Does this make any sense to you?
Well that's the very word of the man Jesus whom you claim to be one of his followers, tell me how this man's followers are proving to be the salt and light of the earth today, when you can't PRESENT any unique group PRACTICING what Jesus taught! huh
Surely Jesus' group must prove to be identifiable with some unique features in the midst of countless religious groups all teaching contradicting things.
If you want to know the MARKS of identification that Jesus foretold about JWs i'll show you in the book (Bible)

Remember where we progressed from: Is Jesus just an angel or MORE THAN an angel.

You still insisted that:
So he's just one of the angels but he has spent more time with his father than all his brothers {Proverbs 8:30} nothing more!
You then brought in John 1:1 using your translation to try to show that the Word was 'a god'.
You posted this:
I believe it's time to PRESENT the original Greek Scriptures where all those translators got what you're arguing about now.
Check the first Greek text translated "God" then compare to the second that we rendered "a god"
Your pal janosky joined you in this, attempting to show that your translation of John 1:1 was the better one. Both of you were exchanging views.

I brought in a video by a man who explained the Greek construct of John 1:1. You pushed it aside as it were.
You then vied off into your idiom on looking at the dress that a person who wants to give you one is wearing. And thereafter what you said was:
Your problem is being pigheaded on theory instead of concentrating on PRACTICAL RESULTS.
How looking at Scripture is now being an issue I wouldn't know. That was when I reminded you of your earlier statement:
both of us must rely only on what we read in the Bible, no dogmas or opinions cooked up in the name of any spirit. We must both rely solely on the facts we find in the Bible!
You have REPEATEDLY refused to answer many questions I raised, including whether you are disowning your above statement.

The bottom line is this: KNOWING comes before DOING. Right KNOWLEDGE is what will lead to right APPLICATION and right LIVING. I mean acceptable living before God.

John 1:1 CLEARLY shows that Jesus is God. He is more than an angel. John 1:18 corroborates this his status. I have shown you guys that even the Strong's screenshots you pasted also talks about the word in John 1:1 later portion to include it being used as "supreme deity". The word can be 'God' or 'god'; context will determine the usage. The article 'a' is not there in the Greek. So, how did your translation come about that? Changing the translation to make it conform to a DOGMA doesn't cut it. You have to shift your standards from one portion of Scripture to another and engage in TWISTS and TURNS to do that. At the end of the day you end up accepting not what the Scripture says Jesus is but what you want him to be: a person of your own creation. That is being disingenuous.

You are reading a book and trying to apply what you read, just as i am also trying to do.
Then it means whatever you say regarding your understanding of the WORD is how far you are able to grasp it and the same thing is my case. So if you continue to read it from now till next year the only proof that you got the sense of what is WRITTEN in that book is how PRACTICAL you're able to make use of it otherwise your continuous reading is a waste.

Whether Jesus is an angel or not you will continue to quote and cite scriptures to back your claim and that's exactly the same thing i will be doing.

So how do we know who got the correct sense of the WRITTEN words?

Well it's the RESULT, that's what Jesus told the Pharisees in the first century.

Note that this people are vast in reading, citing and quoting the scriptures so what is the proof that Jesus knows better than them?

Well it's the RESULT! James 2:18-26

So if you continue arguing till tomorrow it's only the letters that you'll keep seeing in that book, nothing will work out something worthwhile {2Corinthians 3:6} between you and others {John 13:34-35} you will continue to claim you got it while they will also continue to claim the same then it will all end up in contradictions! Luke 11:23 smiley

"...rely only on what we read in the Bible..."

He wants you to OBEY it while he disobey...
That's what Watch Tower devotees understand to be "honest-hearted people"
It's just a pity you don't know the implication of the highlighted! undecided


To OBEY doesn't mean each of you reading and apply your personal opinion then conclude on different ideas, rather it means the ability to humble oneself and do things in common with those you've agreed to stick to the same line of thought! John 17:20-23 compare to 1Corinthians 1:10; Ephesians 4:3

So who are the true Christians with whom you have agreed to obey what you understood in God's word today? smiley

This is why I find it hard to engage you in any meaningful discussion.
I ONLY pointed you to what YOU pasted up there from Strong's. I didn't bring up ANYTHING new. Check what you pasted and see if what I mentioned is not listed there. Check your screenshots. Is it simple enough now?
You built your claim about John 1:1 on
Greek 1510 Greek 2316.
The same exact Greek 1510 Greek 2316 is
@ Acts 28:6.
You claimed that Greek 2316 referenced "Supreme Divinity."
I asked you:
@ Acts 28:6 & John 1:1, does the same Greek 1510 Greek 2316 mean "Supreme Divinity"?
You have been dodging this question.
Bros, why?


The million dollars question is :
how should English translate the same Greek 1510 Greek 2316 @Acts 28:6 & John 1:1?
On this matter, NWT/JWs did NOT shift the goal post! grin grin

You posted YouTube video of a man whose claim disparage John 1:1 NWT.
It is the same Greek 1510 Greek 2316 @ Acts 28:6 & John 1:1, is your YouTube friend dishonest?

Mr LIENUS making FALSE claims.
Go & check those highlighted scriptures (from my previous post) in all other Trinitarian Bibles. grin
You have moved from Williams Tyndale now to another thing, typical brainwashed JWs.


For Emusan mind, his Trinitarian Bibles that inserted 2 notable historical FRAUD into the holy Scriptures & proven to be published by Freemasons (King James & his court) is not demonic grin grin grin
Always attacking strawman argument, your demonic translation will remain demonic.

Remember your translation also inserted many fraudulent words.

Malachi 3:1
"Behold, I send My messenger,
And he will prepare the way before Me.
And the Lord, whom you seek,
Will suddenly come to His temple,
Even the Messenger of the covenant,
In whom you delight.
Behold, He is coming,"
Says the LORD of hosts.


John 12:49-50
For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak.
And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak.'
When Emusan goes on an errand, does he speak the message he was sent?
So to be sent to make one be an Angel

O ma se o o grin grin grin grin grin
You always represent this your name wella JaNosense.

John 14:24
He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father's who sent Me.
Biblestudytools, and your fellow Trinitarian mentors as well as Jesus Christ himself have proven Emusan wrong. grin grin

Mark 19:4-6, Jesus Christ says you are LYING.
Jesus Christ further confirmed Genesis 1:27, Genesis14:19, 1 Corinthians 8:6 is true.

Jehovah God the Creator used him (Jesus Christ), his worker, Craftsman.

John 14:24
"He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and [b]the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father's who sent Me".
Jesus Christ is a messenger/angel of Jehovah his Father
God sent MOSES and Aaron, that made them Jehovah Angels.

Sense truly far from you.

John the Baptizer is Jehovah's angel, Matthew 11:10,Douay-Rheims Bible
"For this is he of whom it is written: Behold I send my angel before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee".
Greek lexicon 32, aggelos grin


Three Screenshots proven evidences.

So John the Baptist is also an ANGEL, wonders of watchtower delusion cheesy grin cheesy grin grin cheesy grin

When you finally receive sense kindly let me know.

Sifia pained LIENUS.
You refused to go and confirm that William Tyndale Bible did NOT agree with every other Trinitarian Bible in those verses highlighted in my previous post.
Until you do that, you are yarning GIBBERISH making FALSE claims
. grin cheesy

Matthew 11:10 Greek lexicon.

Anyone sent by Jehovah God, is his angel carrying out the heavenly Father's assignment.
