Jozzy4:but Jesus said he is also sitting down on his father's throne na rev3:21Rusell give Rev 1:8 to Jesus, but he is not consistent with that explanation because at Rev 5:1 Rusell admit that this is talking about the Father.so he was not consistent, a man who claimed to have special anointing from Jehovah or was the guy liying For ur information, anyone who claims Rev 1:8 refers to Jesus must be ready to accept that the one sitting on the throne at Rev 5:1 is Jesus ... To be consistent. |

solite3:Special anointing kwa? Like seeing a vision of Jesus calling him to become a pastor or seeing God in his dreams telling him to become a bishop . oga, he never claimed any special revelation from God like ur men in black clergymen do . sorryHe only based his belives on the revelations contained in the Bible. About Rev 3:21 , are u saying God lap Jesus or what , same way Jesus will lap his 12 apostles on his Own throne ? Next time , for proper understanding read Act 2:32,33 God raise Jesus to his right hand. Once again to be consistent, are u saying the one sitting on the throne at Rev 5:1 is Jesus ? Ur disgrace just began |

dolphinheart:oo. Dolphinheart Listen to wisdom: if you have the same Nature as your father then both of you are humans. Your father is a human being but is greater than you in position, that's because he is your Father. Jesus and God the Father have the same nature and what nature is that? God's nature. And if He has God's nature who is He? Human or God? that God Nature makes Him God just as Human nature makes us Human. And we keep on telling you that Jesus came as both God and Man," Even Though in the Form of God, thought it not Robbery to be Equal with God: but made Himself of no reputation and took upon Him the form of a servant (whose servant? God's) and was made in the likeness of men..." Philp2:6-7,8. Jesus was both God and man. And as a man He had a Father and a God;(which makes the Father greater in that position), and has a God bcs He came as a servant of God, as a servant of God bcs He took upon Himself the nature of man to do the Will of the one who sent Him, and He's now in heaven as both God and Man. Read Mathew 21:15-16,cf Ps 8:2, Jesus used the word meant for God for Himself. What does that tell u? Also you can read John 12:37-43. Can't wait to see how you will explain it. Since you fight against Textus receptus so much pls be my guest to use any other greek rendering to explain it. We blv ur bible translation is wrong, you say ours (kjv) is wrong. In order to understand each other pls let's use a greek version. Kingdom Interlinear greek (KIT) will be perfect since it was published by the watch tower. |

Jozzy4:you only keep on biting your own tail. Russell Claims the finished mystery was divinely provided so the Finished mystery he claimed was from Christ. But now you deny what Russell Blvd in and taught. Your Founder! Confused pple. Satan makes a fool out of you and you don't even see it. |

Efrankbblog:Mr Jozzy4, this is from the mouth of the OP of this thread (https://www.nairaland.com/2720878/jehovahs-witnesses-17-facts-people). So is she wrong? Am I to assume you have different understanding? thought you said there's No division among you?

Jozzy4:u are making issue out of where there is none The father is the source of all creation just as Jesus himself is the source of all creation.revelation3:14, john 1:3 |
| Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: 17 Facts People Should Know About Them by Nobody: 10:11pm On Jun 05, 2016 |
Jozzy4:the words he who was, who is and is to come is a reference to the deity Jehovah. Since both Jesus and his father are one Jehovah those words can be applied to Christ. Since the voice who was communicating with john was that of Christ we can say that 1:8 is referring to Christ which Russell also believes |
| Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: 17 Facts People Should Know About Them by zodiakzax: 10:16pm On Jun 05, 2016 |
Jozzy4:as usual you lack the ability to comprehend and interpret scripture. In the context in which that was written, do you think Peter implies we become Diety bcs we partake of the Divine Nature? Does this scripture in any way imply we will have God's nature? God says of Himself " ... my Glory will I not give to another..." Isaiah 42:8, and yet Christ asks God to restore Him to the same Glory God has John 17:5. Phil 2:6 ( Christ having the Nature of God). There's no scripture that says we will have the Nature Of God or Divine Nature? Maybe if you want to know what Peter means in that vs, you can visit this link. http://www.biblestudytools.com/commentaries/gills-exposition-of-the-bible/2-peter-1-4.html |

zodiakzax:good, me and my fathers are humans, apply the these statement to jesus. If jesus and God have same nature it means both jesus and God are what? gods!, no wonder the disciples specifically seperated the gods and told us who our God is!(A verse you refused to respond to) Your father is a human being but is greater than you in position, that's because he is your Father. Jesus and God the Father have the same nature and what nature is that? God's nature. And if He has God's nature who is He? Human or God? that God Nature makes Him God just as Human nature makes us Human.now zodiakzax, in heaven is jesus as God nature , equal to the father? If you had read my post very well, you will see that I had no time said Jesus was human when I said he had the same nature with God, so your question is unnecessary. I can agree with you if you had said that nature makes him a god, cus actually we are talking about two persons here, the father and the son, unless you want to say they are the same person . likewise iF my Father is a Person and also a human, and I'm a person and also a human, it means we are two humans, not one! Secondly , you said the father is greater than me in position, can we apply these to jesus too,? if so then jesus is not the almighty God , cus no one is superior to the almighty God in position, that is why he is called the most high! And we keep on telling you that Jesus came as both God and Man," Even Though in the Form of God, thought it not Robbery to be Equal with God: but made Himself of no reputation and took upon Him the form of a servant (whose servant? God's) and was made in the likeness of men..." Philp2:6-7,8. Jesus was both God and man. Read Mathew 21:15-16,cf Ps 8:2,you are very wrong sir, Jesus did not come as both man and God, I'll first quote and explain the scriptures you mentioned then add mine . phil 2:6 English Standard Version who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, the previous verses gives us an insight into what Paul was saying here , Philippians 2:6 makes no sense at all if Jesus is viewed as ‘God.’ [b]3.nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,[/color] some translations translate verse 5 as:" Have this attitude in yourselves, which was also in Christ Jesus." If Jesus was ‘God’ he could not have been tempted to do something from “selfishness or empty conceit” nor could he be tempted to “merely look out for” his own “personal interests. paul counsels Christians to imitate Christ in the matter here being discussed. Could they be urged to consider it “not robbery,” but their right, “to be equal with God”? Surely not! However, they can imitate one who “gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God.” now does jesus beING in the form of God mean jesus is almighty God ? no , the earlier discussion about father and son being humans cus they have same nature clears that, and the fact that Jesus did not consider grabING the notion that he could be equal to God surpports that. These other scriptures also give credence to the fact the jesus is not almighty God. col 1:15 English Standard Version He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. English Standard Version gen 5:3 When Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth. some translations say : " in his image" if seth is not adam cus he is in the image of adam and same nature with adam, then we can see that Jesus is not God cus he is in the image of God, just like seth is a man, like Jesus is a god. let's continue, for verse 7, I'm going to quote from different translations to emphasis the point there [b] phil 2:7 New International Version rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, BEING MADE IN HUMAN LIKENESS. English Standard Version but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. New American Standard Bible but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. International Standard Version Instead, poured out in emptiness, a servant's form did he possess, a mortal man becoming. In human form he chose to be, NET Bible but emptied himself by taking on the form of a slave, by looking like other men, and by sharing in human nature. Aramaic Bible in Plain English But he stripped himself and took the form of a Servant and was in the form of the children of men, and was found in fashion as a man.[/u] did this verse say Jesus retained his divine nature or form when he took on human form? no! the verse indicate jesus EMPTIED HIMSELF and became human. There was no addition of any form but a total change in form! verse 8 supports this view English Standard Version And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Jesus was found only in one form when he came to earth, not 2 in 1 form. If jesus was fully God when he came to earth , satan would have right to claim no human can remain Faithfull to God and sinless till death, cus according to you jesus was more than human, he was also God . verse 9, and 11 now concludes the matter, snowing us that jesus is not God, nor he the God he was reffering to earlier, he also identified who god is. HOPE YOU REMEMBER WHO JESUS CALL ED THE TRUE GOD, WHO HE IDENTIFIED AS OUR GOD AND WHO THE APOSTLES LISTED AS OUR GOD OUT OF THE MANY GOD'S. English Standard Version Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name New International Version and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. do we have other scriptures that surpport this [b]Joh 1:14So the Word BECAME FLESH and resided among us, and we had a view of his glory, a glory such as belongs to an only-begotten son from a father; and he was full of divine favor and truth. Heb 2:9But we do see Jesus, who WAS MADE a little lower than angels, now crowned with glory and honor for having suffered death, so that by God’s undeserved kindness he might taste death for everyone. Isa 52:13Look! My servant will act with insight. He will be raised up high, He will be elevated and greatly exalted. read also Ac 2:32, 33; Joh 14:28; Isa 53:2, 3; Joh 10:17 Jesus used the word meant for God for Himself. What does that tell u?King James Version Mt 21:15And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore displeased Mt 21:16And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise? King James Version Ps 8:2Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. zodiakzax, if you had been a reader of the scriptures you would have understood better read the scriptures and stop looking for similarities Ps 8:1 O Jehovah our Lord, how majestic your name is throughout the earth; You have set your splendor even higher than the heavens! Ps 8:2 Out of the mouth of children and infants you have established strength On account of your adversaries, To silence the enemy and the avenger. Mt 21:9Moreover, the crowds going ahead of him and those following him kept shouting: “Save, we pray, the Son of David! Blessed is the one who comes in Jehovah’s name! Save him, we pray, in the heights above!” did Jesus come to proclaim his name,? no he came to proclaim the fathers name(jehovah) who Did Jesus claim to be the source of his wonderful works? the father. that crowd, unlike the Pharisees know who they are praising and who they are blessing, and Jesus knew too. Also you can read John 12:37-43. Can't wait to see how you will explain it. Since you fight against Textus receptus so much pls be my guest to use any other greek rendering to explain it. We blv ur bible translation is wrong, you say ours (kjv) is wrong. In order to understand each other pls let's use a greek version. Kingdom Interlinear greek (KIT) will be perfect since it was published by the watch tower.ill adress this part in ma next post . |

But like me, most people would go further into the Finished Mystery and find the actual site where C. T. Russell had written his manuscripts. Which again you failed to do, from this site given to you, had shown to all the world 'who see's C.T.Russell said in he's own words the Alpha and the Omega is Jesus Christ, which you have once again refuse to take notes off. Stop lying dolphinheart everyone and "I" have written the scriptures over and over to you, and of course the world can see the hardship us Christians had laid verse after verse, so even you may have enough sense to know the word of God, is true. But of course your argument is yours, who could stand with your period-er state of mind, no-one is cutting your post and I suppose you still think the boogie man is living in your closet. dolphinheart: |
