Janosky:


Who owns the form/image?

Is Colossians 2:9 referencing which form?
earthly form or his Spiritual form?

Gen 1vv26 that image is the image of the Trinity and that image is Christ himself.

Barristter07:

Very incoherent
Greek Morphe ( outward appearance ) appear at Philippians 2 , Yes ?

morphe mean more than just appearance. It includes all the essential qualities that defines a being.

Infact that is where the word morph came from.
A Caterpillar morphs into a butterfly, when a Caterpillar morphs into a butterfly ,it dont just posses the appearance of butterfly but it's full nature.

That is how to understand the greek word 'morphe' Jesus being in the 'morphe' of God mean he possesses God's full attribute that makes God who he is.

Barristter07:


Finally , you are able to understand the bold. That flesh and blood is what is referred to as Appearance. Learn to comprehend

Likewise Jesus is not like the Father in every way, He only exist in his FORM. That's the point of Philippians 2

FORM


" the visible shape or configuration of something. "
"the form, colour, and texture of the tree"
Similar:
shape
configuration
formation
conformation
structure
construction
arrangement
disposition
appearance
outward form/appearance
exterior
contours

2.
a particular way in which a thing exists or appears.

You are a liar.

I ask you again for the umpteenth time is Adam just an appearance.
So you mean Jesus was just an appearance, who ate, was hungry, slept and died?

@bolded Jesus said all the father his his own, including his throne which is represent the father's authority, Jesus is God Almighty, that is the truth no matter how you hate him, he is your God, your creator and you will bow to him, you have no say in this.

Barristter07:


He was made to be like his brother's, whom have sin in their flesh. Either he pick that nature which is the qualities of a person or he only took their form/Appearance .

One must be true.



Before that Future , he has no authority.

It is a future of Christ receiving authority after he put down his authority for the sake of the work of salvation.
You cant stand against the truth, nor can you do anything against it.

livingchrist:

Interesting. Truth prevail. Receiving shows he was given.

he put down his authority for the sake of the work of salvation.

How can he put down what he doesn't have in the first place ? Don't you just confess his authority is future ? Not something he had before coming to earth ?

Nowhere is Jesus called God Almighty. God Almighty cannot have a God. Almighty is not given authority. Again Son of God is not like God himself. Psalm 89:6,7

They are miles apart. So existing in Divine nature doesn't mean same inner qualities.

Just as he possess the full attributes of his brothers which is sin and imperfect when he took their Form ?

You see you are an hypocrite. Shame on you

Sons of God like Jesus are never like God ( Psalm 89:6,7)

livingchrist:
"in every way" the previous verses has made what that every way clear.

evil qualities does not make one human.
The right context is Jesus was made in every way that made his brethren humans.

Nothing like that.

You said and I quote " morphe mean more than just appearance. It includes all the essential qualities that defines a being . " - livingchrist


What are the essential qualities of Jesus brothers ? Imperfections , Sinful body ?

You have no place to hide . Your definition of morphe must satisfy both sides. He must possess their full qualities as well !

MaxInDHouse:
Parents gives birth to children so the children relatively becomes their responsibility.
Why is it that a parent will be arrested for taking the life of his own child?

I don't how this relates to Jesus being the creator of all ( not some) things.

Since you can't undo what the Bible say about Jesus being the person through whom all other things were created. It's evident that someone greater than Jesus is our Grand Creator.

If you use someone to do your job will he take possession?

If God's word now says all things were created through him and for him

The Bible says OF HIM meaning the sources and resources are His; He was the One who created all things using His resources and He created these things for Himself:

*. John 1:1 "KJV:In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2
KJV:The same was in the beginning with God.
3
KJV: All things were made by him ; and without him was not any thing made that was made."

*. Colossians 1:16 "KJV: For by him were all things created , that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, AND FOR HIM : "

*. Romans 11:36 "KJV: For OF HIM, and THROUGH HIM , and TO
*. John 1:1 "KJV:In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2
KJV:The same was in the beginning with God.
3
KJV: All things were made by him ; and without him was not any thing made that was made."

Through whom?

Through God...

*. Colossians 1:16 "KJV: For by him were all things created , that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, AND FOR HIM : "

*. Romans 11:36 "KJV: For OF HIM, [/u]and THROUGH HIM , and TO HIM, are all things : to whom be glory for ever. Amen"

*. Revelations 4:11 "KJV:Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: [u]for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created"
Again: aeroplane was invented BY the Wright brothers; who invented the aeroplane?

, it simply means God can stay alone without those other things and remain happy {1Timothy 1:11} but God wanted His son to be happy always that's why He taught him the work of creation for the Son to be happy always in the things he is able to make out of the great wisdom of his FATHER:

B for Bible and b for brain; keep your brain but give me the Bible...

Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him; Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men. Proverbs 8:30-31

It's evident that JEHOVAH created all other things through His only begotten Son for the Son to continue rejoicing in the things made!

Answer the question below

Since He is the only Being created by the Father, and the speaker in Proverbs 8 says:

Proverbs 8:26 "KJV: While as yet he had not made the earth [b], nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
27
KJV: When [b] he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
28
KJV: When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
29
KJV: When he gave to the sea his decree, [b/] that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:

Who is this He, is it Jesus speaking of the Father or another being speaking of Jesus, "the creator of all other things"?

livingchrist:
it does not, All things can be used in a restricted manner.

what applies? Is flesh and blood a appearance? Is Adam an appearance? Until you answer these questions your submission will be dismissed.

" MADE IN EVERY WAY " does not allow for exception of sin. You are trying to be fraudulent

It's either it included all their imperfect qualities or you rest and admit it's just their form/ outer Appearance

Angel's means servant so, hebrews said they servants.

Keep repeating nonsense to yourself.

Open your ears
" Form of servant "

Show me where Angels are described with that ?

They are never because they ain't humans.

Why must Jesus be brought to JEHOVAH when your Jesus is co equal to JEHOVAH?

Your delusion is very Strong. Show me one single place where I replied you with A man said ? Your points were replied using the scripture, isn't it ?

KNOWMORE56:

Who is this He, is it Jesus speaking of the Father or another being speaking of Jesus, "the creator of all other things"?

HE is JEHOVAH and Jesus is the one speaking.

Jesus did all the work after JEHOVAH Created Him but the son gave all the glory to his Father who empowered him to do the work.

A parent owns his child but gives the glory to God who empowered him to father the child yet he can't just take the life of his own child simply because he's the father. So also Jesus is the creator of all other things but he believes that the right to do and undo over any creature lies in the hands of the One who empowered him. John 8:28

Note that Jesus will rule the whole earth after he has chained Satan {Revelations 20:1-3} but he didn't take laws into his hand to destroy the unbelievers {Luke 9:51-56} but after God has given him the order {Psalms 110:1-3} Jesus will kill all unbelievers! Luke 19:27

Where you people are getting us wrong is the misconception that we don't acknowledge Jesus, surely we acknowledged him as our Lord, Master and King but worship belongs only to our Grand Maker JEHOVAH even though Jesus is the one whom JEHOVAH employed to do that job he himself told us that his God is our God! John 20:17

Barristter07:

And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

Barristter07:
In short no such exist.

Check your previous post, you'll see it there.

In our IMAGE , not images. It's a single image belonging to the invisible God.

That shows you that both are viewed as ONE!

You haven't answered my question.

Was Jesus part of that US & OUR?

Image of Jesus is a future project by the Father , and only those called participate , Your foolish idea m and every human that ever lived was declared righteous and glorified. - Romans 8:29,30

Jesus is part of US & OUR or not?

The reason he was brought was stated right there,

Who brought him?
How can Jesus be brought to the same person He was with throughout eternity before the creation of the universe?

Your delusion never do

To be given authority which he doesn't have before!

The text is clear, "SOME ONE LIKE SON OF MAN" which is even evident since angels never have that LOOK of LIKE A SON OF MAN in heaven.

The text said nothing about the identity of those who brought him,

So Jesus can still be brought to the same Father he was with throughout eternity Even your father the Devil will so ashamed of you on this.

but it made it clear that Jesus wasn't human,

But it's LIKE SON OF MAN..

Are you OK at all?

He was " LIKE " son of man. Not son of man.

How many being in heaven LOOK like SON OF MAN?

The expression SON OF MAN shows it's a HUMAN BEING

This is what you fraudster can't stomach.

When in reality you're the fraudulent one here, claiming to be LIKE SON OF MAN doesn't mean He is not HUMAN.

IF Jesus wasn't presented as HUMAN in that verse why that expression in the first place, when you know He is a Spirit being?

Fraudulent liar!

Christ has no authority until he was permitted/given . Fact

You can keep crying on that

Just have it in mind that Jesus is your Creator and still uphold the universe by the power of His word.

The reason why your deluded brother wants to force that verse to be pre-human Jesus in heaven when in reality the verse is very cleared.

Thanks for single me out.

all he's trying to do is get you annoyed so as to engage you in hurtful words.

Who got you annoyed before you start raising caustic word on this forum?

Such a person only need that as proof that JWs aren't angels (they also do say hurtful things to people)

See the hypocrite!
So I can only got you annoyed but the spirit of your father the devil in your will start manifesting after pretence of being gentle

So let him continue ranting, just give him the response (when necessary) but if not then allow him to continue talking to himself!

Just as you can't stop mentioning my moniker

I stopped responding to him and guess what? He felt so bad that he kept coming after me but just as i decided to chat with him again as a neighbour he quickly switch over to his real motive: insults!

#1Emusan LIENUS is confused. His sentence is NOT coherent.
JWs rejects Trinity GIBBERISH & won't propagate it.

It's only incoherent with you because those writings of the early church fathers proof Trinity teaching predated Constantine.

A pagan Roman emperor rubber stamped the GIBBERISH DECEIVING you.

When you couldn't counter those statement of early church fathers remember your organization says "What THEY teach is of INTERESTING"

Mr LIENUS DECEIVING himself.
Matthew 4:10, Jesus told Satan:
Worship only Jehovah your God, him alone you shall SERVE"
God is a "Him" , singular pronoun.
Kindergarten pupils knows that.
JWs SERVE & worship only Jehovah God, we follow Jesus instructions @ Matthew 4:10.

At least you agreed with Jesus in that Matt 4:10, so are you serving Jesus according to Daniel 7:14?

Emusan LIENUS arguing aimlessly.
Did Emusan see Latin Crux in bill Mounce Greek interlinear of John 19:7?

JaNosense arguing blindly.

How can one see Latin word in Greek writing

Are you sure you're OK?

Emusan no get conscience. He lies like kilode.

Says the greatest JaNosense the lying liar like his father the devil.

Emusan read BBC News/ Washington Post screenshot proven the instrument of Jesus death was NEVER known as cross

You haven't get cure from your delusion.

Where is the screenshot?

Matthew 27:25,Acts 3:14-15, Acts 5:30, the Jews did.
Emusan LIENUS & him Roman GIBBERISH

Even you yourself know you're lying for saying it's Jews who CARRIED OUT JESUS EXCUTION.

Did Mr Tsaferi tell Emusan the Romans executed Jesus on the cross?
Emphatic no !!!!!

Mr Tsaferi proved that Roman has never executed anyone on a STAKE OR POLE.

Where has Roman execute anyone on a stake or pole is what you're still disturbing Google for since

Clean your tears Mr lying liar JWs like his father the devil.

Emusan LIENUS is confused & wedded to FALSEHOOD.
Joshua 10:26 = Deuteronomy 21:21-23
Joshua impaled the king of Ai on a Pole.
Joshua also impaled 5 kings on a Pole.
(Screenshot evidences)
Emusan LIENUS shame on you !! [/b]

If I say you lack scriptural understanding, you'll think I'm joking.

Joshua ONLY HUNG THOSE KING'S body after they were ALREADY DEAD, which is what Deu 21:22-23 is all about.

CEV: Joshua made sure every building in Ai was burned to the ground. He told his men to kill the king of Ai and hang his body on a tree. Then at sunset he told the Israelites to take down the body, throw it in the gateway of the town, and cover it with a big pile of rocks. Those rocks are still there, and the town itself has never been rebuilt. Joshua 8:29

CEV: Joshua killed the five kings and told his men to hang each body on a tree. Then at sunset Joshua 10:28

Now compare this with the statement of that Deu 21:22

CEV: Moses said to Israel: If a criminal is put to death, and you hang the dead body on a tree

ESV: “And if a man has committed a crime punishable by death and he is put to death, and you hang him on a tree,

TLB: “If a man has committed a crime worthy of death, and is executed and then hanged on a tree,
NWT: “And in case there comes to be in a man a sin deserving the sentence of death, and he has been put to death, and you have hung him upon a stake,

You can see that Deu is talking about when the victim has been put to DEATH first before being hanged on a tree which is what Joshua did. No Jews ever put anyone on tree till died and when Jews later copied this practice, it was CROSS they used not POLE just from where they COPIED IT FROM.

I guess your Jesus was first executed before being hanged on your pole

Besides, Roman is the one that executed Jesus Christ and Roman never used pole to execute anyone. This is what Tsaferi says which you're still twisting.

So Mr JaNosense couple with lying liar.

Try to inform your brainwashed in the hall tomorrow about this

Fraudulent liar!

" LIKE " means Similar, it's a simile , NOT a Metaphor

Tunde look like a goat, Doesn't mean Tunde is a Goat. You ought to have done this in school

After Jesus returned to heaven to get this authority, the expression " like " was used because he is not human , Revelation 1:13

" And standing in the middle of the lampstands was someone like the Son of Man. He was wearing a long robe with a gold sash across his chest. "

Some heavenly persons were represented also as having Face Like a Lion, Bird etc . LIKE means it's just a means of description , not who they are.

Even the Father was said to look LIKE man. Like makes it clear the Father is not a man. Ezekiel 1:26

Clearly, Daniel 7:13,14 was not describing a human but a spirit person. Who doesn't even have such authority until he was given.

livingchrist:
He was given what belongs to him

All that the father has belongs to christ.

" And what do you have that you did not receive? Now if you did indeed receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it? " - 1Corinthians 4:7
