1 Corinthians 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. The opposite of 'confusion' is 'order'. @brocab, Johnw74( I know you guys are in order). Arrange these words in increasing and decreasing order: Woman, christ, man, God. I am asking you this question because the same person that wrote 1 Corinthians 14:33 wrote 1 Corinthians 11:3.

false accuser, you have done multiple post on Jehovah being the name of God,

Jehovah means the self existent
the self existrent means God
Jehovah means God. so simple, but not for the blinded.



God has different names with different meanings, He cannot be limited in any way, certinally not by the few meanings given in a dictionary.
We are dealing here with the self existent being the meaning of Jehovah



duh, we know Jehovah means Jewish national name of God
Jehovah also means the self existent, which is what I am discussing and what you keep running away from





Ha ha, the blind as a bat one accuses of confusion
you take after your god



2Co 4:3  But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 
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. 

Rev_12:10  And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

So before we answer your questions tell us-who you are, {If you are from the Watchtower organisation-how long have you served, and who do you serve-Name the elders by names?} Knowing who you are. would make life a little easier for us, to explain the truth about the word of God to you.
{1 Corinthians 14:33} For God is not the author of confusion. the Lord is talking about His Saints-With your honesty-we will see if this scripture has anything to do with you..

Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: 17 Facts People Should Know About Them by brocab: 12:27am On Nov 09, 2016
Interesting..
Innocent77:
JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES BELIEVE & TEACH
1. THAT Jesus Christ (who is Michael the
Archangel in their doctrine) is mediator for only
a small, elite, group within their ranks called the
“anointed remnant”. Others must come to this
group who control the organization and earn
their salvation by absolute obedience to it.
2. THAT all religions except their’s are of Satan,
and your Pastor or Priest is under the Devil’s
control.
3. THAT the Watchtower Society is the only
source of truth on earth today, and all churches
teach error and will be destroyed at
Armageddon.
4. THAT the cross is a pagan symbol of sex
worship, and that all buildings or persons
displaying the cross are likewise pagan.
Jehovah’s Witnesses deny that Jesus died on the
cross. However, “new light” in the Watchtower
Magazine has admitted they are not certain
about the cross, but will continue to deny it
anyway.
5. THAT no one goes to heaven but 144,000
Jehovah’s Witnesses, and your soul will be
destroyed if you refuse to join their
organization.
6. THAT the Christ child was only an “IT”, not a
“HE”. See the New World Translation, Luke
2:16,17.
7. THAT Jesus was not the Christ (or Messiah)
until age 30, even though their own bible says in
Luke 2:11, “because there was born to you
today a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.”
8. THAT after Jesus was buried in the tomb,
Jehovah dissolved his body into gasses and it
disappeared forever.
9. THAT Jesus rose invisibly in three days, so
Jehovah had to “materialize” a fake body for
him complete with fake nail prints so His
disciples would believe it was really Jesus risen.
10. THAT Armageddon and Christ’s second
coming were foretold to happen in 1874, 1914,
1925 and 1975 by this “non-prophet”
organization.
11. THAT when Christ failed to show up in 1914
The Society claimed in later years that He had
come—invisibly—of course, and all Jehovah’s
Witnesses believe this today.
12. THAT Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob etc., were
to be back on earth as perfect humans in 1925.
The Society built a palatial home for them BUT,
when the patriarchs failed to show up, the
President of the Society moved in.
13. THAT their light gets “brighter and brighter”,
allowing for the many changes and “about
faces” on their doctrines. Yesterday’s error is
today’s “truth”. Often the “light” bounces back
and forth from old to new views and back again!
Does real light return to darkness?
14. THAT the Watchtower Society and its
followers are all prophets of God today and the
Governing Body is directed by angels from God.
15. THAT salvation for Society members
consists of doing the good works of placing
Watchtower books and magazines and winning
converts.
16. THAT soon Jehovah God will become a
GRANDFATHER and Jesus will be promoted to
“EVERLASTING FATHER”!
17. THAT Jehovah God is not omnipresent, but
still Almighty. Think! How can this be?
They have NOT BEEN TOLD —By the
leadership of the Society
1. THAT when they translated their New World
Translation of the Bible they deliberately altered
almost every scripture on the Deity of Christ, to
make him only a creature.
2. THAT the Society used a translation by a
SPIRIT MEDIUM, Johannes Greber, to support
their rendering of John 1:1 with full knowledge
that his sources were DEMONIC. Greber was
exposed in the Feb. 15/56 W.T. However in 1961
they released a translation based on his occult
one then denied they knew what they were
doing on page 31 of the Apr. 1, 1983
Watchtower!
3. THAT none of their “translating committee”
knew Biblical Greek or Hebrew. No scholars at
all.
4. THAT Fred Franz, who for many years
headed the Society, perjured himself under
oath in Scotland in a court trial, by saying he
could read Hebrew, and then failing a simple
Hebrew test.
5. THAT the following encyclopedias consider
the name “JEHOVAH” to be FALSE Merits Student
Enc.; Encyclopedia Americana; The Jewish
Encyclopedia; Encyclopedia International, The
Interpreters Dictionary of the Bible; The New
Catholic Encyclopedia; The Universal Jewish
Encyclopedia, etc.
6. Jehovah’s Witness’s own “Aid” book admits
on pages 884 & 885 that “Jehovah” was first
recorded by a Catholic monk about 700 years
ago!
7. THAT the date 1874 was taught for Christ’s
invisible presence by the Society until l929. (See
their book, “Prophecy”, p. 65. sold until 1941.
Also WT. Jan 1, 1924, p. 5.)
8. THAT top executives of the Society have
admitted under oath that they forced their
members to accept false prophecies or face
disfellowshipping and be found worthy of
death.
9. THAT true salvation is FREE (Ephesians 2: 8 &
9), and consists of receiving Christ as your
Savior. (John 1:12 , John 6: 28, 29).

@Johnw74. I am not your teacher, you are correct on that. Concerning your assignment. I would love to pick Antichrist, but the JWs still do not meet the requirements of being an Antichrist as defined in 1 John 4:2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. Except you(Johnw74) show me other proof. From the scriptures above they are not Antichrist since the line of this discussion so far is purely based on the fact that the JWs don't recognise Jesus as the Almighty God. Now answer my questions. Have answered yours.

solite3:
see excuse!
Ithe is not an excuse, so many times did I have to take time to filter your posts, to remove my own words from your post, so many times did I have to quote you , only to find a blank page when I click on quote, I do not want to go through that stress again , after advising you so many times to solve and correct the way you post.

I never said the scripture contradicts itself stop lying!
read, read statements properly and understand it, I don't see where I accused you about scripture contradiction in that post, I asked you a simple question, I wonder when questions turned to lies again.

It is you that said there are other gods besides Jehovah, when he said there is no one like him.
It is not me that identified other gods, it's the scriptures, do you want me to show you again?
Yes there is no God like Jehovah!

Did i refuse to explain? Here is the real explanation.
a god is a diety.

The word god can be used in the following ways

It can be used as a metaphor for rulers and powerful persons.

For example sons of God are called gods because they are great.
Another example is God making moses a god over pharaoh meaning moses was going to be made a powerful psrson in the eyes of pharaoh that pharaoh would fear moses.
Note: that it just a metaphor not to be taken literarily.
The second It can also be used to refer to deities that pagan worship.
1. provide the source of these your explanation , because it does not correspond with the general meaning of god!
2. I do not like personaly formulated definitions, only people who want to protect their lies do so
3. its good that you understand that others apart from Jehovah are called gods. now the issue is : are they gods or they are not gods! , the scripture say they are god's

1 Corinthians 8:5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)

why did paul said that there are many gods?
Because paul was speaking of the gods that exist in this world not the true of real God.
gods that exist in this world in heaven? do you understand your statement at all?
good that you call them gods, just like the scripture did!

Paul in the next verse said but to us there is one God even the Father.

1 Corinthians 8:6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

Those gods are not gods by nature!
Good that you know that the one god is the father, he is the one Jesus describes as our God, as his God, the head of Jesus!
That god(God of Jesus) is Jehovah the almighty who exalted Jesus, called Jesus his heir, gave him a name and sat him at his right hand!


Galatians 4:8 Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.
Good that you know that some are by nature gods while some are not gods by nature

Jehovah said he is the only God there is no god besides him although other people may have other gods but israel had only one God, christians has only one God who is the true God.
Jehovah refers to himself as God meaning the real God.
1. who is the god of this world :
King James Version
2Co 4:4In 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.


2. who are the gods that God has taken his place in the mist of?
English Standard Version
God has taken his place in the divine council; in the midst of the gods he holds judgment:


3. why is Jehovah the most high god if there are no other gods he is higher than?

the bible also said that the gods of the heathen are idols meaning vanity.
yes we know that, and Jehovah does not sit in their midst!

Psalms 96:5 For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.
Is the God of this world an idol?

If Jesus has the nature of the true God does that not make Jesus the true God?
No! you have same nature with your father, it does not make you your father or equal to your father! YOU ARE TWO DIFFERENT BEING, JESUS SITS AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD, HE IS NOT THE GOD HE IS SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF.

Jehovah Witnesses falsely claim the bible removed YHWH' {Tetragrammaton} From the Old Testament.
The truth is, the JW's had added the divine name in the New Testament where it is never found in the original Greek Manuscripts, and blame the bible as being corrupted from the original where the YHWH was once found.
Rather then trashing their false doctrine, they trash the Bible.
It is obvious truth that the Jehovah Witnesses spell YHWH wrong as "Jehovah" is the fact that the "J" doesn't exist in Hebrew, Greek, or Latin, further the English language did not have the letter "J" before about 1500 AD. For example the very first addition of the KJV printed in 1611 AD CONTAINED NO "j".Not even one, instead the letter "I" for Jew Jesus, Joshua, John, Joanna.
In a stunning admission, Jehovah Witnesses tell us that the reason why they continual to use "Jehovah" instead of the correct spelling "Yahweh" is too be pleasing to Man-Not God.
One of the first things that JW new converts learn from their cultic Watchtower organisation, is a lie that all bibles is corrupt because they removed the tetregrammaton from the Old Testament. This sums it up pretty well..
Most JW's are so dismally mis-informed about the matter that they have an Idea how to even find the tetregrammaton in the original in Hebrew text of the Old Testament, much less then heard the item "Tetregrammaton"
What the JW's don't know is they are the ones who are truly guilty of adding the word of God, because of the New World Translation {The JW sectarian paraphrase they call a bible} Actually adds the word "Jehovah" in the New Testament 237 times where it is never found.
So the hard cold fact is that the New World Translation adds "Jehovah" into the New Testament 237 times where there is absolutely no ancient manuscripts evidence of any kind to support it.
I think this sizes it up pretty well..


YOU COULD NOT ANSWER THE QUESTION, ALWAYS TRYING TO USE MUNDANE ISSUES TO COVER IT UP!


[b]YOU ARE A LIAR, IS THE TETRAMAGRAM THAT IS ACCEPTED AS GODS NAME, THAT IS TRANSLATED AS JEHOVAH PRESENT IN THAT VERSE OR NOT?
If you wanto to lie, lie better lie, don't fomulate falsehood that can be easily debunked . 

I asked you a question about the kjv, you could not respond. popularity does not mean truth. narrow is the way and few are the ones finding it!

have I deviated from showing you with proof that Jehovah does not mean God. I did not have to alter or add to the proof, I did not have to redefine their explanations to arrive at an alternate explanation.
They told you the truth, Jehovah is the name of God, you saw the truth in the scriptures, Jehovah said " that is my name!. You checked your own dictionary, it tells you that Jehovah is the name of the Jews! yet you do not belief, you prefer to alter it without proof that they said " Jehovah is the the name for God" cus you do not know the difference between "of" and "for".

The JW's did print the NKJV I did use for quite sometime, matter of fact I was reading the NKJV without knowing it didn't line up with the Word of God as the Old KJV does..
Only Seven times Jehovah was written in the Old Testament of the Old KJV {Genesis, Judges, and Psalms once, while it appears twice in Isaiah and Exodus} That's it, no other verses pronounces His Name. Not like your bible you have written Jehovah even in the New Testament.
"SATAN'S FINAL DECEPTION" The JW's printed the NKJV on their own pressers, by 1992 the Witnesses had produced 1,858,368 copies.
An interesting note that needs to be knowing, is that {Hebrews 9:15-20} in the NKJV lines up side by side with the New World Translation bible, lets look more into this and look at the doctrines dealing with Salvation the NWT and the NKJV both bibles line up.
The NKJV that was printed on the JW's pressers confuses people about salvation in {Hebrews 10:14} it replaces the original KJV "that are Sanctified" with "are being Sanctified"
In {1 Corinthians 1:18, and 2 Corinthians 2:15} The Words "may believe" Have been replaced "may continual to believe" in {1 John 5:13}
The Old straight and "Narrow" way of {Matthew 7:14} has become "difficult" Way in the NKJV.
The NKJV "gives no command to study Gods Word" nor does the NWT "gives no command" {2 Timothy 2:15}
KJV {Matthew 20:20} Then came to Him the Mother of Zebedee's children with Her son's, "Worshipping Him"
NKJV Came to Him "kneeling down".
A deadly translation indeed.
{Daniel 7:25} He will speak against the Most High and shall wear out the saints of the most High and think to change times and laws, and the Holy ones will be handed over to him for a time, times, and half a time..

OH MY! So the word "jehovah is present in the bible that you use, you say it's a wrong word, yet you use that bible! habA! why use a bible that inserted a silly word ?

A beg plus tell me, what is the Hebrew word that they translitered to jehovah? how many times does that word occur in your bible?

see how your lies is unravelling!, so the word jehovah is present in your bible!

Didn't you hear me correctly-the creator's name appears In Modern KJV as Jehovah, 7 Times-some say 4 times in the 1611 "Iehovah".
I know you can't seem to get it through your head but God has many different names-in different languages-and you believe Jehovah is the only name that's given to God. Well you are wrong once again.
Let's look up Wikipedia and let it tell us where and how the name Jehovah came into place-but first-what you are not understanding is Jehovah's name didn't carry on through the hole bible.? {7 times only} And it really doesn't make sense-why only 7 times-why not the hole bible? And another thing Dolphinheart if Jehovah is God's name then why is Jehovah the LORD's name too?
Iehovah El, Elohim, I Am, Savour, Shepherd, Lord, and it keeps on going-He said to Moses "I Am "That I Am" in this case God can be anyone-who He pleases to be-and I still believe Jehovah sounds silly-because Jehovah was only written no-more then 7 times in the hole KJV.
And yet the Names LORD Lord and God is written throughout. The Wikipedia say's The proper name in Hebrew for God is YHWH--The consensus among scholars is that the historical vocalization of the telegrammaton at the time of the redaction of the Torah {6th century BCE} is most likely Yahweh. The historical vocalization was lost because in {Second Temple Judaism} During the 3rd and 2 Centuries BCE. the pronunciation of the telegrammaton came to be avoided being substituted with {Adonai} "My Lord" The Hebrew Vowel points of {Adonai} were added to the telegrammaton by the Masoretes and the resulting form was transliterated around the 12 century as Yahweh.
The derive forms Iehovah-Jehovah first appeared in the 16th century.
Jehovah was popularised in the English speaking world by William Tyndale, and other pioneer English protestants translations such as Geneva bible and the King James version, it is still used in some translations, such as the New World Translation and Young's literal translation. But it does not appear in most mainstream English translations, as the term Lord or LORD used instead generally indicating that the corresponding is Yahweh or YHWH.
So by this it was Man, not God who pronounce God's Name Jehovah.

@Brocab If you feel my last post is judgemental, it's your point of view not mine. I only want you to understand the fact, that, when issues are discussed please don't attack the personality. It's easy to say am judgemental but there is nothing bad for you aligning with those who call the JWs false JWs according to Johnw74. Concentrate your efforts in addressing the issues and proper application of the scriptures.
Finally, Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. I insist I don't need to disclose who I am. Every inch of the Bible I quoted so far I have not just strong but excellent believe in them.

The fact is, I can see you haven't studied the Word of God throughout-that you can't even see the differences between both bibles-the people a good people-but it is their own teachings that doesn't line up with the Word Of God-and besides the New World Translation bible had either removed most of the scriptures, or they have twisted the scriptures.
And if you are well into the Word Of God as you believe you are-than why haven't you seen the missing links from the NWT Bible.
{Hebrews 4:12} if you truly believe the word of God is a two edged sword-then why aren't you questioning your beliefs against the Antichrist bible that hides the truth away from its own people.
Johnw74 isn't actually calling the people false, he is more preferring to their teachings. And if you done any study about any other organisation, that calls themselves believers, and not believe in any truth we write what the bible says-you would know to stay away from them.
The Spirit of God gives us discernment, and with this discernment we tend to stay away from anyone who believes Jesus came down as Michael the Archangel, and you would understand the scriptures-which of the angels did God ever say, you are My Son, and again you sit here at my right side-Answer to that is None of the angels..
And again if you had studied with them-you would Know that the Word is Jesus He is God from the beginning.{John 1:1}

One sure thing I (achorladey) knows about the church of the saint is they dont serve a confusionist God but a God that is in order.

Ithe is not an excuse, so many times did I have to take time to filter your posts, to remove my own words from your post, so many times did I have to quote you , only to find a blank page when I click on quote, I do not want to go through that stress again , after advising you so many times to solve and correct the way you post.
here you go again! I will skip this


read, read statements properly and understand it, I don't see where I accused you about scripture contradiction in that post, I asked you a simple question, I wonder when questions turned to lies again.
did you see any contradiction in my post?


It is not me that identified other gods, it's the scriptures, do you want me to show you again?
Yes there is no God like Jehovah!
other gods that are false gods?
John17:3 has already render other gods apart from God as false. if there are other gods and yet only one is the true God even a 3yrs old will tell you they are false?




1. provide the source of these your explanation , because it does not correspond with the general meaning of god!
2. I do not like personaly formulated definitions, only people who want to protect their lies do so
3. [quote]its good that you understand that others apart from Jehovah are called gods. now the issue is : are they gods or they are not gods! , the scripture say they are god's
to you pagans they are gods but to we christians they are no gods for there is only one God.
All others false gods!

gods that exist in this world in heaven? do you understand your statement at all?
[b]good that you call them gods, j[/b]ust like the scripture did!
depends on which heaven,

@ bold yea they are gods but they are false gods


John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.


It is a shame you dont believe Jesus words neither Jehovah's word.



Good that you know that the one god is the father, he is the one Jesus describes as our God, as his God, the head of Jesus!
That god(God of Jesus) is Jehovah the almighty who exalted Jesus, called Jesus his heir, gave him a name and sat him at his right hand!

And Jesus told you he and his father are one.




[s]Good that you know that some are by nature gods while some are not gods by nature
[/s]
what a shame! This is how you have degenerated to.
In order words Jehovah is not the only true God.
Hummmmm.





Which god has the same nature as Jehovah?




[left]1. who is the god of this world :
King James Version
2Co 4:4In 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.[/b
very stupid of you.
Who is the god of this world? you need a brain check. After Jesus has declared only Jehovah as the true God?

2. who are the gods that God has taken his place in the mist of?
[b]English Standard Version
God has taken his place in the divine council; in the midst of the gods he holds judgment:

and Jehovah said there are no other god?
you cant differentiate between a metaphor and a literal word?


3. why is Jehovah the most high god if there are no other gods he is higher than?
Jehovah is the most high of deities that are worship by men.
Does this make those deities truly are gods? Mtscheeew!


[s]yes we know that, and Jehovah does not sit in their midst!
[/s]

Is the God of this world an idol?
the god of this world have blinded your eyes thats why you thin the devil is God.
False witness, you said Jesus is a god, while the devil is God.
Why dont you go and worship your idol god satan who masqurades as Jehovah.
Satan witnesses like father like son.
I m not surprise though.


No! you have same nature with your father, it does not make you your father or equal to your father! YOU ARE TWO DIFFERENT BEING, JESUS SITS AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD, HE IS NOT THE GOD HE IS SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF.
my father is a human and i m the son of my father therefore i m not a lesser human than my father Jesus has God's nature therefore Jesus is not a lesser God than his father.

I Said "If" we belonged to the Church of the Saints-it doesn't say we are from the Church of the Saints.
{1 Corinthians 11:31 if we judge ourselves we shall not be Judged. Luke 6:37, Matthew 7:1-2} We judge ourselves everyday with the Lord-when we pray we ask Him to direct us with his Word, not our own words. So when it comes to judge, we have the rights-to test the Spirits {1 John 4:1 believe "Not" every Spirit, but try the spirits weather they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
And when one hear's of an organisation preaching another gospel that is "Not" of Christ-then we have the rights to judge.
Like the Catholic's they believe by praying to Mary she will be their mediator between them and God.
And this isn't from the word of God neither.

{Matthew 7:15-20 the Lord said we will know them by their fruit}
This scripture is a warning about false prophets and false teachers, Jesus tells us what to watch out for in identifying them, Because are extremely deceptive and dangerous ravenous spiritual and mortal wolves in sheep clothing-the Lord would hardly left us without means of determining who they are.
Jesus assures us we will know them by their fruits. A fruit tree maybe beautiful decorative and offer pleasant shade in the summer, but its primary purpose is to bare fruit {Meaning the Word Of God} and therefore is judged by what it produces, and not by how it looks.
{Matthew 24:24 for false Christ and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead if possible even the elect}
{Hebrews 5:14, but solid food for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil}
Now I would like you to answer these scriptures above, and explain why did the Lord give us warning..

some dum dum thinks that antichrist only refers to those who don't believe Jesus christ is come in the flesh,
duh, antichrists are those who oppose Jesus Christ

false jw's change what the Bible say's about Christ, and oppose Jesus Christ in teaching contrary to the Bible that Jesus Christ is God, they say He is "a god"
false jw teach contrary to the Bible that Jesus Christ was not resurrected bodily,
Jesus said destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up.
false jw's are antichrists

Johnw74 is a true man of God, the words he speaks are not His own Words, but God's alone. You are very demanding" you, nor do the Jw's recognise Jesus as the Almighty God, nor do they, nor you, recognise the scriptures-where Jesus and God are called the Mighty and the Almighty {Revelation 1:8, Isaiah 9:6} For to us a Child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called wonderful Councillor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the prince of peace.
Nor you, or they, recognise Him as a man-they believe He is the Archangel Michael in person. {Not even the Catholic's believe that?} But it shows us how much you believe in their doctrines-maybe you could shed a little light on the subject, and explain where in the bible it say's Jesus is an Angel, or was one?
I even bet" your the kind of person that allows every religion to walk all over you, you don't even read the scriptures for the Love of God-you read them to throw darts at people, this is how you get your victory-out of nothing.
Jehovah Witnesses only believe in the name Jehovah-but God has other Names that the JW's won't accept, neither do the Catholic's, they believe Mary is their mediator-not Jesus. And on top of all that, the Catholic's pray to dead saints, praying they will talk to God on their behalf-like they do with Mary.
Catholic's don't read the bible well enough to know {Matthew 6:6-13, God said we must pray to Him directly}"It shows you have a lot to learn-even atheist believe in God, the atheist could say that God raised Jesus from the dead, but this doesn't prove one is saved-everyone can read the scriptures-and still not understand them, By their fruit we will know them.
One must become born again before he can enter into the kingdom of God.
So before you decide to make judgement-read the scriptures, and let them tell you, what you must do.

what subject have I changed ,

How you love to lie, again the subject is "Jehovah means God", that's the subject you have changed.


dolphinheart:

have I deviated from showing you with proof that jehovah is the name of God ?

see your lies, again the subject that you are running away from is "Jehovah means God" not "Jehovah is the name of God", that is true also, but not the subject oh lying one.

dolphinheart:

have I deviated from showing you with proof that Jehovah does not mean God. I did not have to alter or add to the proof, I did not have to redefine their explanations to arrive at an alternate explanation.

No lie lie you have not once given proof that Jehovah doesn't mean God, you even said in one of your posts that Jehovah does mean God, and it wasn't a typo, it was confusion like most of the rest that you say, what a lie lie you are.

dolphinheart:

They told you the truth, Jehovah is the name of God, you saw the truth in the scriptures, Jehovah said " that is my name!. You checked your own dictionary, it tells you that Jehovah is the name of the Jews! yet you do not belief,

I certinally do believe that Jehovah is a name for God, I could say it a hundred times and you would still say I don't,
showing that you are fully entrenched in lying

how you do love to lie and take after your god.

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.

dolphinheart:

you prefer to alter it without proof that they said " Jehovah is the the name for God" cus you do not know the difference between "of" and "for".

Jehovah is a name for God, have never altered that

you have been posting on Jehovah means the name of God
and you have been posting on Jehovah doesn't mean God

and so my sentence is completely correct:
