@Deuteronomy 6:4 The Jews believe there is only one God, Jehovah.

@ John 10:33,(confirmed by John 19:7) the Jews believed Jesus is NOT the God of Deuteronomy 6:4.

Your Trinitarian mentors gave biased rendition of John 10:33. Them change am to capital G.
The same small letter Theos (god) is @ 2 Corinthians 4:4, Acts 28:6, 1 Corinthians 8:4-5.
Screenshot evidence.

grin grin grin

Jesus quoted Psalms 82:6 (@ John 10:34-36) to prove he is a god because God his Father calls his son god.
Jesus is a god, the Son of God.
God's Sons=gods.
This is soo ridiculous! So how come in all the history of Israel to date he was the only one about to be stonned to death for claiming to be God??
How come he is the only one who never refused worship?? How come he is the only person we refer to as still alive and use "was" for every other person?? How come he's the only one worshipped as an infant (or how and WHY do you show "obeisance" to an infant?). Too many things point to his divinity. You keep issuing one ridiculous denial after another. The bible is meant to be taken together, NOT cherrypicked!

You're always invoking picking up of weapons but you cozily enjoy the safety and security afforded by picking up weapons. It's like saying you're against taxation but enjoy all the amenities afforded from taxes!

You sound so fake and pretentious focusing on Jesus, knowing fully well your organization do no such thing. What good is anything you do about God if you don't believe he is God??
You've been arguing since forever that Jesus is just a messenger like Moses and that his "I am" was just the way he spoke. When clearly, his "I am" was meant to convey he is God. Not only that, he KNEW the Jews would understand that to be what he meant - because it was what he meant!! He didn't just want to come out and say it plainly because he knew they'd kill him for it, he just didn't want to be killed before the appointed time!
Jesus said "I Am " @ John 4:25-26. @Mark 13:61-62. @John 8:24,28
Is that what he meant?

Is "OLANIYI" in Yoruba meaning the same thing in Igbo?
NEVER !!!!!!
@John 8:19,58, Jesus Christ rejected your claim.
You don't know God his Father.

@Matthew 27:46,50 I believe Jesus.
Men didn't kill the God of Exodus 3:6,14..
Jesus cried to the God of Exodus 3:6,14 @ Matthew 27;46,50.

Nobody worshipped Peter or Jesus.

It's a great error to use the word "worship" to reference any servant of Jehovah God @ Acts 10:25 or Matthew 2;11.

The proper word is homage or obeisance @ Matt 2:11 or Acts 10:25.
Because Jehovah's instructions of Deuteronomy 6:13 that Jesus Christ repeated at Matthew 4:10 & Revelation 19:10 is very sacrosanct.


Common English Bible
11 They entered the house and saw the child with Mary his mother. Falling to their knees, they honored him
. Then they opened their treasure chests and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
Read Matthew (CEB)

The Darby Translation
11 And having come into the house they saw the little child with Mary his mother, and falling down did him homage"

These translations examples used the proper word to refer to Peter and Jesus.
To avoid all confusion henceforth please define "worship" for us. When Satan told Jesus “if you will bow down and worship me.”, what did he mean?
Why would the three kings be kneeling down for an infant? What else would define "worship"?

Jesus Christ can NOT give Satan what belongs ONLY to God his Senior.

I told you, u go explain tire. You are comparing a sitting monarch with his own family to new-born in a cattle shed!😅 Besides, it is custom of the Yorubas to always be kneeling down or prostrating. Where else do you see Jews kneeling down for anybody but especially for a nameless new-born??!!

Besides, what you were told to do is to define worship!

It's OK my brother, leave him with his I AM worshipers at least they all know JWs are people of a faith that's working {James 2:18-26} just as Jesus said:

Now this is the basis for judgment: that the light has come into the world, but men have loved the darkness rather than the light, for their works were wicked. For whoever practices vile things hates the light and does not come to the light, so that his works may not be reproved. But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that his works may be made manifest as having been done in harmony with God.” John 3:19-21

Light is what everyone can see from afar so whoever goes into the light will become vulnerable to questioning because everyone is seeing what the light captures but what happens to darkness? People can hide under it as no one could see them in order to ask them any question.

What is the name of their churches?

If they want to prove they have the light let them mention the name of their churches so we can compare teachings and benefits gotten so far but if they are ashame there is no need arguing with them it's just a waste of time! smiley

Unclear. A jumble of words which when properly examined has little or no substance that furthers meaning.

So you are an Igtheist?

If so, you should not even discuss the subject at all.

As far as I understand, it would be like discussing the existence of a square circle.
Actually I shouldn't but some of these discussions feel so compelling that I shed that label to dive in. Ultimately though that is where my thoughts lead me.
Re: Why Jesus Is DEFINITELY God * by DeepSight(m): 7:35am On Jul 04, 2025
LordReed:

This is good. It means that the pulse of wonder and curiousity concerning the mystery of existence burns brightly in you still and this alone is a precious thing.

Ultimately though that is where my thoughts lead me.
We shall see. It is one thing to disavow belief in God or gods, but quite another to claim that the entire idea is incoherent. As I have repeatedly said, the core of the idea of God is simply that of a source of all other existence and that can never be incoherent.

Therefore please distinguish that from the many attributes that people have heaped upon the core question, the core definition of God: namely source or creator. Being of a creative nature yourself you cannot possibly regard that alone as incoherent.

What you need to do is completely away from all the religions and philosophies of the world, and even away from the Deepsights of the world, carefully begin to set down personal answers to the core questions, which should include the following:

1. Is my existence deliberately caused and meaningful or randomly emergent and meaningless.

2. Is there spirituality to my being.

3. If there is spirituality to my being, what is its purpose.

4. What could be the basic discernable attributes of that which caused me to be, if I am deliberately caused and meaningful.

5. Why am I here.

Let me leave also two images in your mind.

1. A baby in a womb. Silent, thoughtless and unknowing of the existence of an entire world of people, events, color and life beyond the warmth of the silent womb where it dwells.

2. A fish which dwells in the deep of the sea, never approaching the surface. If it were told that that worm it sometimes sees stuck on a string is actually being dangled by a creature called a man who lives in a world outside the sea and has technology and art, not only will he not believe it, he will not even comprehend it. It might seem incoherent to him.

Sweet Jesus, that was imagery directed at prodding you to consider what may exist beyond the "womb" or "sea" that this world is to you - however impossible or incoherent it may seem to you at this place and time.

Better.

Nevertheless in the analogy given, there are still fish that with some level of experience know that the worm is being dangled by a man sitting outside the sea.

Also, even with your qualification, still be careful. We asre not in the minds of animals and we presume alot especially as we dont understand their language. The things that some dolphins and even dogs do should give cause for pause on our presumptions.

If it were the case they would be communicating amongst themselves the fate of those who eat the worm but that doesn't seem to be the case.

I disagree. Neither fish nor babies in the womb have the capacity to actually explore and investigate their environment systematically and rigorously, we do, that is why the analogy fails. If there are these "beings sitting outside" they are just as irrelevant as nonexistent beings.

My good brother (respectfully) you and Janosky have NOT answered a simple question: why would kings be kneeling down to pay "obeisance" to an infant? That would seem to be the very definition of worship and if it is not, please tell us what else would be worship?

You keep asking what is the name of their churches, knowing fully well the answer. They attend non-cult churches (a simple Google search will give you a list of the cult churches). I personally have attended Anglican, Baptist, Redeemed, Winners, and even Catholic - something that'd be impossible for you to do because cult churches would never allow that. I consider them all part of the body of Christ, including JW and other cult churches. Non of them is perfect neither can they be. It's up to you as an individual to perfect your walk with Jesus. Notice I said Jesus not any other name. Likewise in Acts 16 below, Jesus not any other name:
31 They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.”
