It seems everyone is on holiday's at the moment-usually when it's quite, soon the thunder will roar, and the Almighty Jesus will raise up once more-and caste His anointing over His people-and the war begins with a bang against the principalities and against the darkness in this world.
But I am sure we Christians need a break a resting period from these unbelieving so called Christians we have on this site.
Everyone who can twist and turn the scriptures around as good as the JW's might as well call themselves atheist.
Neither are they Hot nor are they Cold in the word of God, but lukewarm, people that don't matter in any religion, only to themselves they glorify their own.

dolphinheart:

I've proven beyond reasonable doubt that I did not say "a two headed god"

you say you never said "a two headed god"
Here is your full sentence, quoted exactly, copied and pasted from your post with nothing taken out and nothing added

Dolphinheart:
it has been established that God and Jesus are two different persons, there if you make Jesus to be that same God, then your God is two persons in one!, a two headed God!.

what a lie lie you are.



dolphinheart:
he has not been able to produce where I said "god and the word is a two headed god"

aah, but I did, in my last post to you just for one, I will quote it again at the end of this.


dolphinheart:

why can't you post the full text of my posts, ? WHYYYYYYY!

because I'm noy interisted in your false doctrine about Jesus being "a god" "an angel"
I have told you and captivator that many times, but false jw loves to lie.

dolphinheart:
was I talking about God and jesus when I told you about your god ? no ,

Yes you was lie lie, you said: "if you make Jesus to be that same God, then your God is two persons in one!, a two headed God!."

dolphinheart:
You just said we should look at my own exact words , but the bolded above are not from me, they are words added at the beginning and middle of my words to try and give my own words a different direction and meaning. The tactic will not work johnw74,

No end to your lies and deceiving, if you cannot see the diffrence there between your words in "these" and my words, you just show again how you have been blinded.

2Co_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.


dolphinheart:
I will tell you this once you retract your false accusation, this is what you should have done first before accusing me falsely and before altering, omitING and adding to my words.

No lie lie I haven't done any of that to your quote, you are talking about yourself again,
and you have been blinded and cannot see where your quote ends and my words begin.

I posted your quote of what you said, showing it's clear that you were referring to God and the Word as "a two headed god". I even asked you to tell who you was referring to as "a two headed god" if you were not referring to God and the Word, and even to that simple question you cannot answer who you were referring to, because we all know, don't we lie lie.

dolphinheart you big lie lie



johnw74:
To all of false jw dolphinhearts above confusion and continued and repeated twisting of words which is lies,
and to the lengthy posts designed to get away from the simple matter at hand, and that is that false jw dolphinheart called God and the Word "a two headed god".

lie lie is playing on words, which is lying, he uses every means of lying known,
he said he didn't say God and the Word is a two headed god, while using words that mean the same thing,
it's just another way of lying,
so lets use his exact words.


The opening post was about John 1:1, and God and the Word, and the Word being God

You lie lie dolphinheart said:
"it has been established that God and Jesus are two different persons, there if you make Jesus to be that same God, then your God is two persons in one!, a two headed God!."

You are talking off "God and Jesus",

and you said: "if you make Jesus to be that same God"

as John 1:1 makes Jesus to be that same God, and as the opening post is about

"then your God is two persons in one!, a two headed God!."



Of course it's very clear to all except those entrenched in lies, that you were referring to God and the Word as "a two headed god", but twist your words some more lie lie, and tell me who you are calling "a two headed god" if not the Word being that same God, if not Jesus being that same God.

Who was you referring to as "a two headed god" if not God and the Word?

Truth doesn't require a long and evasive post,
just a honest answer, like:

I was referring to "God and the Word" being a two headed God
or
I was referring to "Tom and Jerry" being a two headed god.

God is one
Jesus is one with the Father, they are two persons one God, but satans disciples cannot possibly see or understand, as you keep showing.

Truly God and the Word is God, but you don't believe the Bible and change it,
you say I lied, but you in fact said the Bible is lies, because that's where I get my beliefs, here it is again that say's the Word is God,
and which satans disciples say is a lie:

Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

all false jw can do is lie, and change the Bible to fit their false doctrines.


Jesus said to the pahrisees, and of course it applies to todays pharasee jw's:
Joh_8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

just like the pharisee always looking for signs even when the saw it didn't believe. Don't u have ur bible? Read John I: 1 is it not boldly written that the word is God? Except Satan has deceived you as he deceived eve. Yes Jesus boldly said I and my father are one and the pharisee knew what Jesus was talking about, immediately they took up stones to stone him because he was making himself equal to God. Even the devils know whom he is! But u are so blind!
U are funny sha saying it is impossible but remember with God nothing shall be impossible. Stop limiting the holy one of is real like the is realities did in the wilderness saying CAN GOD PROVIDE FOOD IN THE WILDERNESSES? Remember sin against the holy spirit there is no forgiveness.

Do you believe only Jesus has the power to give eternal life?
@ cancelled that is your problem you go beyond the scriptures and then bring in daminable heresies to fill your lust
Do you believe in God's own witness that eternal life is in Christ and not in your organization?
Christians who simply believe in christ, don't you believe they have eternal life through him?
U quoted 1 Tim 2:5,6 do you believe Jesus is a man and God and not an angel?
No sir! Jehovah witnesses do not know the source of life and this is not a false claim


The big question to Jehovah witness is,
DO YOU BELIEVE IN CHRIST?
Look at what Jesus said
John 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long with you, and yet hast thou not know me, Philip? he that has seen me hath seen the Father: and how sayest thou then, she's us the father
U cannot know who the father is, when you consistently deny who the son really is.

In vs 10 Jesus made it bold that he is in the father and the father is in him
In john10:30 he made it clear that he and the father are one.
But just like Philip u want to know the father outside Christ not knowing that the father himself is in Christ and Christ in him.

Knowing the truth of the bible is not easy. It is very hard as it has always been since the creation of man on earth to grasp the import of the bible's prophecies. Ask yourself ( from your own statement) "really do you believe that the name of Jesus is the highest name both in heaven and on earth", Philippians 2:9-11New International Version (NIV)

9
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
10
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11
and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.

1. who gave Jesus that name above every other name? 2. Would a father give authority to his son and then be under his son's decree? and 3. as Christ is answerable to Jehovah, is Jehovah answerable to Jesus also?

id in he garden of eden. So there is Jehovah God the maker of heaven and earth and the witnesses believe in Jesus Christ also but as Jehovah's first and only creature as found in colossians 1:15-20,
15 He is the image of the invisible God,+ the firstborn of all creation;+ 16 because by means of him all other things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible,+ whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All other things have been created through him+ and for him. 17 Also, he is before all other things,+ and by means of him all other things were made to exist, 18 and he is the head of the body, the congregation.+ He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead,+ so that he might become the one who is first in all things; 19 because God was pleased to have all fullness to dwell in him,+ 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all other things+ by making peace through the blood+ he shed on the torture stake,* whether the things on the earth or the things in the heavens.
That Jehovah was truly the Father or Life-Giver to this firstborn Son and, hence, that this Son was actually a creature of God is evident from Jesus’ own statements. He pointed to God as the Source of his life, saying, “I live because of the Father.” According to the context, this meant that his life resulted from or was caused by his Father, even as the gaining of life by dying men would result from their faith in Jesus’ ransom sacrifice.—Joh 6:56, 57.

How he is the “only-begotten Son.” Jesus’ being called the “only-begotten Son” (Joh 1:14; 3:16, 18; 1Jo 4:9) does not mean that the other spirit creatures produced were not God’s sons, for they are called sons as well. (Ge 6:2, 4; Job 1:6; 2:1; 38:4-7) However, by virtue of his being the sole direct creation of his Father, the firstborn Son was unique, different from all others of God’s sons, all of whom were created or begotten by Jehovah through that firstborn Son. So “the Word” was Jehovah’s “only-begotten Son” in a particular sense, even as Isaac was Abraham’s “only-begotten son” in a particular sense (his father already having another son but not by his wife Sarah).—Heb 11:17; Ge 16:15.

John 1:1 as saying: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Literally the Greek text reads: “In beginning was the word, and the word was toward the god, and god was the word.” The translator must supply capitals as needed in the language into which he translates the text. It is clearly proper to capitalize “God” in translating the phrase “the god,” since this must identify the Almighty God with whom the Word was. But the capitalizing of the word “god” in the second case does not have the same justification.

The New World Translation renders this text: “In the beginning the Word was, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god.” True, there is no indefinite article (corresponding to “a” or “an”) in the original Greek text. But this does not mean one should not be used in translation, for Koine, or common Greek, had no indefinite article. Hence, throughout the Christian Greek Scriptures, translators are obliged to use the indefinite article or not according to their understanding of the meaning of the text. All English translations of those Scriptures do contain the indefinite article hundreds of times; yet most do not use it at John 1:1. Nevertheless, its use in the rendering of this text has sound basis.

Let's try and correlate the message the bible try to transmit.

Explain to me clearly in which way you would like me to explain this scripture to you. I think the KJV's spells this verse out as it sounds.
Their are many bibles that explains it the same as the KJ's, And If you are asking me to agree with you about {John 1:1} and John 1:14} yes you are right-you can clearly see the scripture and you believe, I believe it too.
{Amplified Bible John 1:1} In the beginning {Before all time} was the Word {Christ} and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself.
So until you explain to me what actually how you would like me to answer your question, then nothing I write would make any sense to you. unless you are a born again Christian? I read a little above and you are trying to work this out with your own fleshly mind, a JW indeed.

Are you really here for me.. .
Please,are you?
Just answer me, If I was right with that my initial quote you mentioned. That's what I seek for.

That's cool. Cleared Christ is referred to as God.

But, what does john later meant in verse 18
No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
Which God is john talking about again?
Jesus?

{John 1:18} NIV Bible-No one has seen God at anytime, but the one and only Son, who is Himself God.
It's only through Jesus you can see God.
{John 14:8} Philip said, "Lord" show us the Father and that will be enough for us, Jesus replied, Philip I have been with you all this time, and still you do not know Me? Anyone who has seen Me, has seen the Father. How can you say show us the Father. because in {1 john and John 1:18} clearly states no-one has seen God at anytime, because God is Spirit.
And if God's Spirit resides in His Son then the Son and His Father are One. I and the Father are One.
Now this is cool.
{Isiah 7:14 and Matthew 1:22} Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign, Behold the Virgin shall conceive a Son, And shall call Him Immanuel In the New Testament {Matthew 1:23} confirms the birth of Jesus fulfilled this important Prophesy.
{Isiah 9:6} For us a Child is born, to us a Son is Given, and the Government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called wonderful councillor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, prince of peace.
Jesus came to earth as Immanuel, meaning God with us..

I don't want to comment on that now bro.

Don't lets deviate, we are taking Kjv in sight.
Don't forget I told you am interested in Kjv translation... thanks..
Oya back to my question.
I'm sincerely seeking for the plain fact, bro.
Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: 17 Facts People Should Know About Them by brocab: 1:14pm On Jul 14, 2016
I find this out of texts when are you JW's ever interested in the KJV, it's your bible or no bible you believe in.
Forget the KJ read the 1611 version, this should give you a better insight how the bible was translated from the Latin language to the English version, and to have so many correct manuscripts, that is translated-shows the flesh can't answer your questions but the Spirit of God can.
If you are sincerely seeking for the Plain facts, bro, then become a born again Christian as the word of God tells you to be, and then try and question your own answers. Its only the word of God that sets you free. And if you still refuse to believe then Look up {Isaiah 7:14} Behold a Virgin shall conceive a Son and His name Shall be Called Immanuel {Meaning God with us} {Matthew 1:22} confirms the birth of Jesus fulfilled the Prophesy.
{Isaiah 9:6} Describes Jesus "And for us a child shall be born to us a Son shall be given "His name shall be called Wonderful counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father Prince of peace".
And please explain why these scriptures are calling Jesus these names {Revelation 1:8, 17-18} Again the bible is describing Jesus as the Alpha and the Omega says the Lord, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty, and if no-one has seen God at anytime-As you have agreed on-then of course these scriptures are only referring to Jesus?
So what does this mean? You yourself have agreed God isn't a person-because no-one has seen God at anytime.

Knowing the truth of the bible is not easy. It is very hard as it has always been since the creation of man on earth to grasp the import of the bible's prophecies.
no sir the truth is not hard at all only when you want to twist it, it becomes hard. John 1:1 is not prophecy it is as clear as black and white. When God commanded Adam not to eat the forbidden fruit was it rocket science but you have made the word of God of no effect by your traditions
Ask yourself ( from your own statement) "really do you believe that the name of Jesus is the highest name both in heaven and on earth", [/b]Philippians 2:9-11New International Version (NIV)
Jesus Christ! I can't believe my eyes but I m not surprised you are not a christian like you said you are false witnesses. @bold it is not just what I believe but what d verse you posted is. U av been blinded to believe the bible is hard!

9
[b]Therefore God exalted him to the highest place

and gave him the name that is above every name,
@ bold what is this? What is the highest place? It didn't say higher place but highest place God gave him a name above how many names? Ehh
10
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
o my God! So every knee would bow to Jesus I tot exodus20:5 says we should not bow down to any other gods but now God is commanding all the universe to bow down to Jesus
11
and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
every tongue will confess who as Lord? Can you answer

[
s]1. who gave Jesus that name above every other name? 2. Would a father give authority to his son and then be under his son's decree? and 3. as Christ is answerable to Jehovah, is Jehovah answerable to Jesus also?[/s]
the question should have been why would God give another his own honor? except that Jesus and God are one.

Kai.. Uncle.
Did I ever mention to you that am a Witness?
Know this in your heart, and let it ring.
You could see how I broke down
John 1:1 and John 1:14.. using clear, truthful words to back up the write up.
Which you honestly agree to.
Just later on.. You left the last part. And dropped long list of other verses.
Am not arguing whether Jesus is God or not. I did want to know. Isn't that simple a request?
