cornelboy:dum false jw cornyboy God bought forth Wisdom from Himself to become His Son/Wisdom/the Word of God, proverbs 8 God begat the Word from Himself, not created Him from nothing cornelboy: The facts is that God created everything else through Jesus Christ. He of course created Jesus.you evil false jw's added "other" multiple times to col 1:16-17 to mke it look like Jesus/the Word was created cornelboy: That's why Jesus is the firstborn of all creation/creature. He's the first to be created and most preeminent of God's creation.the Word/Jesus is the firstborn of all Persons, not created, john 1:3 and col 1:16-17 makes that truth perfectly clear oh blinded one: 2 Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them |

Joh 1:3 All things came into being through Him, and not even one thing that was created came into being without Him. Col 1:16 For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him. Col 1:17 He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. |

cornelboy:Without Jesus, NOTHING came into being. The facts is that God created everything else through Jesus Christ.Yes! because The Word who became Christ is God's Word. Reason why scripture says God created everything ALL BY HIMSELF. God didn't use anybody outside His being in creation. He of course created Jesus.Provide the verse. That's why Jesus is the firstborn of all creation/creature.Now, you're back to your initial denial. Firstborn now means first created ![]() He's the first to be created and most preeminent of God's creation.That means God is lying in John 1:3 "All things came into existence through him,+ and apart from him not even one thing came into existence." - NWT |

cornelboy:One final verse and logic I use with those arguing on Trinity, I use 1 Corinthians 11:3 But I want you to know that the head of every man is the Christ; in turn, the head of a woman is the man; in turn, the head of the Christ is God. Very self explanatory I then ask, 'According to that verse, is the man and woman equal? Is Man the same as woman? Is the Man and Christ equal? Is Man Christ? Man is not equal to the woman but the man has authority over the woman Man is not equal to Christ and Christ has authority over the man If they can agree on the above, why should it be argued that Christ is not God or equal to God but subject to God? They start to look at the Bible as if it was a new verse, others argue blindly |

Aemmyjah:Whoa your logic is perfect. I had an argument with that same verse with a friend. He was saying that man and woman are equal and Christ and God are equal too. He said being head over someone is not the same as being superior over that person. So I can ask him now that "does that mean man is equal to Christ too?" Thanks for sharing that 💕 |

Emusan:Lol it's seems your brain and eye stop functioning whenever reading my posts. I didn't interpret "firstborn" to "first created". I interpreted the whole phrase, "firstborn of all creation/creature". That means Jesus was part of God's creation and he's even the first and most preeminent of all creation. If he's first in all things, he's definitely the first to be created ![]() |

cornelboy:Jesus called his disciples his brothers Were they brothers of God? If we should take things literally, we have far more than a Trinity as we can add the disciples na. What about Mary sef that some worship? |

johnw47:Thank you. Whether you use beget or create, it's still the same thing. The fact is that everything comes from God. Jesus was begotten, Jesus came from God too, we don't know how God did that but it's a fact that Jesus is a separate entity different from the Father. After God beget/created Jesus, then he used Jesus to create everything else. Throughout the Bible, no where did Jesus claim to be the creator, none of the apostle called him the creator. They only refer to God the Father as the creator. It's simple, when you hire a an engineer to build something for you, who's the owner of that thing, you or the engineer? Of course it's you! Everything Jesus used, the wisdom, intelligence, power was given to Jesus by his Father so undoubtedly, God is the creator not Jesus. |

Emusan:All things came into existence through the Word. God created him and used him in creating all things. Jesus work in creation is just like that of an architect and the contractor. Jehovah God is the architect, Jesus was used to bring about all other things... Thats why I quoted the Bible that the WORD had a BEGINNING. Go argue with Bible na. One never had a beginning, he's the eternal One, the Ancient of Days. Who is that one? Jehovah God and that is why Jesus addressed him as Father at all times. Proverbs 8:22 Jehovah produced me as the beginning of his way, The earliest of his achievements of long ago. 23 From ancient times I was installed, From the start, from times earlier than the earth. 24 When there were no deep waters, I was brought forth, When there were no springs overflowing with water. 25 Before the mountains were set in place, Before the hills, I was brought forth, 26 When he had not yet made the earth and its fields Or the first clods of earth’s soil. 27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there; When he marked out the horizon on the surface of the waters 28 When he established the clouds above, When he founded the fountains of the deep 29 When he set a decree for the sea That its waters should not pass beyond his order, When he established the foundations of the earth 30 Then I was beside him as a master worker. I was the one he was especially fond of day by day; I rejoiced before him all the time 31 I rejoiced over his habitable earth, And I was especially fond of the sons of men. In Max Voice, may you have peace |

cornelboy:Check your brain first I didn't interpret "firstborn" to "first created". I interpreted the whole phrase, "firstborn of all creation/creature".Then where did the phrase FIRST CREATED is in the scripture? That means Jesus was part of God's creation and he's even the first and most preeminent of all creation.And I've showed you that, that is a wrong interpretation of that verse since ALL THINGS came into being THROUGH Jesus. If he's first in all things, he's definitely the first to be createdThat's not what the verse says, stop twisting the scripture. So that He might BECOME THE ONE WHO IS FIRST in ALL THINGS. If Jesus was first created then there's no need to still BE THE ONE WHO MIGHT BE FIRST again. English language is not that hard, just open your brain for easy understanding. ![]() |

Aemmyjah:ALL THINGS came INTO EXISTENCE yet the deluded still went further to say God CREATED HIM. Is Just not part of ALL THINGS THAT CAME INTO EXISTENCE? Jesus work in creation is just like that of an architect and the contractor.I've trashed this for a very long time here. Show me where Jesus worked in creation. Jehovah God is the architect, Jesus was used to bring about all other things...Architect only DESIGN So you means Jehovah ONLY DESIGN CREATION? ![]() Now he has to smuggle the word "OTHER" in between ![]() Thats why I quoted the Bible that the WORD had a BEGINNING. Go argue with Bible na.NO WHERE THE BIBLE SAYS the word had a beginning. One never had a beginning, he's the eternal One, the Ancient of Days. Who is that one? Jehovah God and that is why Jesus addressed him as Father at all times.THE Word never Had a beginning. Proverbs 8:22I always say never use this when it comes to Creation account to proof Jesus was created because you will be exposed for your lack of scriptural understanding. Now, I color over 5 pronouns HE Who is the speaker? And who is the speaker referring to as HE which is actually carrying out the Creation activities? Note: the speaker never involved in the creation activities DIRECTLY as stated in those verses. In Max Voice, may you have peaceI already have the peace Jesus peace promised all His followers, do you have it? |

Emusan:Read Proverbs again Personified wisdom is talking Who did Jehovah produce as the earliest of his achievements? Was it another angel talking? You don't even know English The 'HE' you mentioned was identified in that first verse Bible says that the Word has a beginning, 'in the beginning was the word' Emusan says na lie |
| Re: Why Do Jehovah's Witnesses "Hate" Christian Songs But Sing Secular Songs? by cornelboy(f): 3:13pm On Oct 04, 2023 |
Emusan:Lol ![]() You have failed woefully ![]() Colossians 1:15,18 [15]Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: [18]And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. The word firstborn as used by Paul in both verses doesn't only signify superiority or preeminence, it also signifies the "first in the order of time". For example, let say I'm the firstborn son of my parents, it'd mean that I'm the first (regarding time) male child they gave birth to in our family. So why did Paul use the word "firstborn"? Don't forget that firstborn means first regarding to time and also regarding preeminence or superiority. So according to verse 15, "firstborn of all creation/creatures" means first to be created and most preeminent (or first in preeminence) among things that were created. In verse 18, "firstborn from the dead" means that among those that will be raised from the dead to a spirit being, Jesus is the first and most preeminent. I won't collect offering for this Bible study ![]() |

Aemmyjah:I've read it many times. Personified wisdom is talkingWho is the person personified? Who did Jehovah produce as the earliest of his achievements?It's the infinite Wisdom of Yahweh Was it another angel talking?It's the Infinite Wisdom of Yahweh speaking. The 'HE' you mentioned was identified in that first verseWho is HE? Bible says that the Word has a beginning, 'in the beginning was the word'"In the Beginning WAS..." which means the Word already exists before that time. The only things that came to creation "In the beginning" is Heavens and Earth Genesis 1:1 "IN THE BEGINNING GOD created the Heavens and the Earth" To say another being was created IN THE BEGINNING again negate that verse in Gen 1:1. |

Emusan:Who is that wisdom of YAHWEH? that was especially fond of mankind and was a master worker in God's creation? |
| Re: Why Do Jehovah's Witnesses "Hate" Christian Songs But Sing Secular Songs? by cornelboy(f): 3:22pm On Oct 04, 2023 |
Emusan:Jesus is first in all your things of course. He's first to be created and first to be raised into a spirit being ![]() "First created" comes from "firstborn of all creation/creatures.". It means out of all creation, Jesus was the first and most preeminent ![]() The Jehovah's witnesses are not your mates when it comes to bible matter ![]() |
| Re: Why Do Jehovah's Witnesses "Hate" Christian Songs But Sing Secular Songs? by Aemmyjah(m): 3:25pm On Oct 04, 2023 |
Emusan:It's not completely different One was talking about the beginning of creation Another about the Word King James Version Revelation 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; Who is that beginning? Who caused his beginning? What title did he use to address the one who caused his beginning? |
| Re: Why Do Jehovah's Witnesses "Hate" Christian Songs But Sing Secular Songs? by Emusan(m): 3:30pm On Oct 04, 2023 |
cornelboy:Like I said, if Jesus was first created, then no need for Paul to say "So that He MIGHT BE THE ONE WHO IS FIRST IN ALL THINGS" For example, let say I'm the firstborn son of my parents, it'd mean that I'm the first (regarding time) male child they gave birth to in our family.I even gave you a passage in Psalm where it was stated that Jesus was MADE FIRSTBORN. So what Paul was addressing there is the superiority of Jesus over creation because Paul already stated that Jesus CREATED EVERYTHING. So why did Paul use the word "firstborn"?Reading the content you will understand why. Don't forget that firstborn means first regarding to time and also regarding preeminence or superiority.So what Paul meant is the superiority. He even used PREEMINENCE so that people like you won't be deceived. So according to verse 15, "firstborn of all creation/creatures" means first to be created and most preeminent (or first in preeminence) among things that were created.No! In verse 18, "firstborn from the dead" means that among those that will be raised from the dead to a spirit being, Jesus is the first and most preeminent.No! The first to experience the actual RESURRECTION believers in Christ will experience. I won't collect offering for this Bible studyI just need you time for Bible study. ![]() |

cornelboy:You can see how you shot yourself in the legs ![]() Then the next verse says so that "He might be the one WHO IS FIRST IN ALL THINGS" "First created" comes from "firstborn of all creation/creatures.".JESUS is the Creator. NOTHING WAS CREATED without Jesus. So if Jesus is the first created, then it means Jesus Created Himself ![]() The Jehovah's witnesses are not your mates when it comes to bible matterThat's why they usually collect Bible study every day ![]() |

You have ran away from your Prov 8 Why nah? ![]() Aemmyjah:Waooooo Why you people are so evil and full of lies? One was talking about the beginning of creationSo is Jesus not THE BEGINNING OF CREATION according to you? Another about the WordSo the word is the beginning of what? King James VersionRead it from another version. CEV: This is what you must write to the angel of the church in Laodicea: I am the one called Amen! I am the faithful and true witness and the source of God's creation. Listen to what I say. The Father is THE BEGINNING. Jesus is THE BEGINNING. Who is that beginning? Who caused his beginning? What title did he use to address the one who caused his beginning?The Father is THE BEGINNING, are you saying the Father has beginning? Also, you didn't address your point again in Prov 8, why? Na wa oooo ![]() |
| Re: Why Do Jehovah's Witnesses "Hate" Christian Songs But Sing Secular Songs? by Aemmyjah(m): 3:42pm On Oct 04, 2023 |
Emusan:Don't be like an illiterate One is talking about the physical creation- heaven and earth One is talking about the Word and the word existed long before the heaven and earth were made? According to the Revelation Who is the beginning of the creation of GOD |
| Re: Why Do Jehovah's Witnesses "Hate" Christian Songs But Sing Secular Songs? by Emusan(m): 3:43pm On Oct 04, 2023 |
Aemmyjah:"All things came into existence through him,+ and apart from him NOT EVEN ONE THING came into existence." - NWT Even the fact is, The ONLY THINGS CREATED in the beginning is HEAVENS AND EARTH. Where did you read it that Jesus was CREATED in THE BEGINNING? |
| Re: Why Do Jehovah's Witnesses "Hate" Christian Songs But Sing Secular Songs? by cornelboy(f): 3:43pm On Oct 04, 2023 |
Emusan:Only if you know that you didn't say anything worthwhile ![]() Jesus was never called the creator. And of course Jesus is first in all things and being first among creatures and first to be raised into a spirit being are part of his first ![]() |
| Re: Why Do Jehovah's Witnesses "Hate" Christian Songs But Sing Secular Songs? by Emusan(m): 3:47pm On Oct 04, 2023 |
Aemmyjah:Waoooo very deceptive of you. Even John 1:1 never talk about Jesus being created IN THE BEGINNING. One is talking about the Word and the word existed long before the heaven and earth were made?So where is the WORD RESIDE because every CREATURE NEEDS A SPACE TO OCCUPY? ![]() According to the RevelationI've given you another version so that you will know what that verse is saying. |

cornelboy:After all, I'm not like you. Jesus was never called the creator.Who created ALL THINGS? ![]() And of course Jesus is first in all things and being first among creatures and first to be raised into a spirit being are part of his firstThen if he is the first, Why must HE still need to "BE THE ONE WHO might BECOME FIRST in ALL THINGS(which included creation?" ![]() I know you lack simple comprehension, the key phrase her is "Might BECOME FIRST" |
| Re: Why Do Jehovah's Witnesses "Hate" Christian Songs But Sing Secular Songs? by Aemmyjah(m): 3:53pm On Oct 04, 2023 |
Emusan:John who wrote John 1:1 also wrote the Revelation In the beginning was the Word... the same was with God... The WORD was in the beginning with God Micah 5:2 Study Bible Micah 5:2 And you, O Bethʹle·hem Ephʹra·thah, The one too little to be among the thousands of Judah, From you will come out for me the one to be ruler in Israel, Whose origin is from ancient times, from the days of long ago. Who is that person from Bethlehem to become ruler whose origin was from ancient times? |
| Re: Why Do Jehovah's Witnesses "Hate" Christian Songs But Sing Secular Songs? by Emusan(m): 3:54pm On Oct 04, 2023 |
cornelboy:He was never created in the first place. But if you agree that Jesus was created, then based on John 1:3 it means Jesus created Himself. because Bible is so straight that "WITHOUT HIM, NOTHING was created" |
| Re: Why Do Jehovah's Witnesses "Hate" Christian Songs But Sing Secular Songs? by Aemmyjah(m): 3:58pm On Oct 04, 2023 |
Emusan:For even though there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many “gods” and many “lords,” there is actually to us one God, the Father, from whom all things are and we for him; and there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are and we through him. Jesus Created Himself? 😂😂😂 |
| Re: Why Do Jehovah's Witnesses "Hate" Christian Songs But Sing Secular Songs? by Emusan(m): 4:01pm On Oct 04, 2023 |
Aemmyjah:Funny how you keep jumping around. Why did you run away from Prov 8? John 1:1 never said the WORD WAS CREATED in the BEGINNING, is English your problem? Why did you run away from KJV? This is the reason I told your brother to stick to one translation. KJV John 1:1 says the WORD WAS GOD. God can't be created. Micah 5:2 “But thou, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall come forth unto Me He that is to be ruler in Israel, whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.” Micah 5:2 I'd about the operation of the eternal Word of God. |

Aemmyjah:Oya quote John 1:3 from any translations Let's see what it says, your claim of God created Jesus first won't turn out to be that Jesus created Himself ![]() |
