I did not ask you to quote a verse, I am simply asking you to confess Jesus as your Lord and Saviour in your own words and really mean it. Is that too difficult for you to do? undecided

This one pass crime. To be a sinner is more dangerous than being a criminal. See it for yourself in the Scriptures, no be me talk am.

"That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. For with the heart man believes to righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation" (Romans 10:9-10).

You can see from the Scriptures here that I am not saying anything strange. For you to be saved you have and must be able to confess "Jesus as Lord." Verbal confession of Jesus as Lord is the prerequisite to being saved after receiving His imputed righteousness by faith.

Jesus must be accepted as God and as Lord of your life and you must be able to confess that you will believe and obey His Word with no reservation, believing that Jesus rose bodily from the grave because only the Creator of life could defeat sin and death.

Perhaps, this method of berating the Jws it's one of the techniques OLAADEGBU is trying to emphasize in witnessing to a JWs according to the main theme of the thread. I tire for you oooo professor emeritus abi na wetin?

So telling the truth about your watchtower has turned to berating. Do your leaders support higher education? No
Do your leaders support reading the bible alone? No. You must read the bible with their magazines or magazine alone.
Are your leaders going to heaven? Yes according to them and their followers will inherit the earth. Your leaders did they go to university or college? No
So who is berating who
You call truth berating.

The bible says Jesus Christ is Lord and Saviour deal with it. Bible passages have been shown to you. You ask questions you have been programmed to ask by leaders. Read your bible alone and understand what it truly says
If you do you will know Jesus is Lord

As usual you wanna run away. You can't hide from the fact that you said the bible is lying. The bible said Jesus Christ is Lord and Saviour as Christians we have accepted Him as our personal and only Lord and Saviour and you have a problem with it even with bible verses to support it. But when watchtower organization tells you it is your saviour and mother without a single biblical verse to even support its claim you accept. Weh don sir.

JW members who have been indoctrinated are difficult to convert. They have been trained to ignore the truth and follow their deceptive teachings. The worst of their teachings is the denial of the existence of hell which is clearly revealed in the Bible. I wish they could see the doom that awaits them. Please, give your life to Jesus. He is the only way to God. Otherwise, you will face his wrath.

"For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?". (Revelation 6:17).
So you now claim doom that awaits Jehovah's Witnesses? Do you know the doom that awaits you?

John 14:5-15 5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”

6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really know me, you will know[b] my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”

8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.”

9 Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves. 12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.

Read your bible and ask the holy spirit for guidance oh I forgot that the Holy Spirit can not come to you it is only for those 7 men in new York aka your governing body members

Biblically speaking, Jesus is equal with the Father in His divine nature (John 10:30). He was positionally lower than the Father from the standpoint of His becoming a servant by taking on human likeness (Philipians 2:6-11). Positionally, then, the Father was "greater" than Jesus.

Oga when typing, proof read, to be a criminal is less dangerous than being a sinner. Ayam not understanding. I see why the world is what it is with this kind of teaching. A vivid proof why individuals hides behind the facade of religious bodies. Even the scriptures you cited did not point to why being a criminal is less dangerous than being a sinner. I insist I ayam not understanding. Hmmmmmm and this is part of the formula you intend to use in witnessing to a JW. You have my evidence on who I believe Jesus is, provide answer to just that one question I asked.

You are still beating around the bush instead of going straight to the point. There is only One God, One Lord and One Faith.

"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" (1 Corinthians 8:6).

This is the testimony of the Scriptures that there is only one true God who created all things by His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. Can you now truthfully, thoughtfully and meaningfully confess Jesus as your Lord and Saviour?
Now insert your personal Lord and Saviour tag into the verse you quote. Just maybe you can get an answer to my question? How many saviour do we have here? If you are finding it difficult you might to do research on the difference between the following words '' of whom are all things'' and '' by whom are all things''. Your professional colleague can help you with that as well.

Jesus Christ is the only lord and only savior if you have a problem with take it to Jesus Christ he will solve it

Once they call you out you start lying to cover up all your errors. When you say bad things about non Jws you don't look back. When someone is saying the truth about your organization you say persecution or being berated.

your 7 men in New York aka governing body members say they are going to heaven and their followers are going to inherit earth Your organization is against higher education. They don't allow reading the Bible alone and on your own you must read the Bible with a watchtower publication.

Jesus Christ is my personal lord and savior Because Jesus says so. You say Jesus Christ is not your personal lord and savior because 7 old men in New York aka governing body members say so. I follow Jesus you follow 7 men in New York.

I should go and ask the bible how many Lords and Saviours. I will surely do that.

Let me help you out. Here some pertinent questions and answers for you to ponder on as to the nature of our Lord Jesus Christ:

"You are my witnesses, says the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that you may know and believe  me, and understand that I am He: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after Me.  I, even I, am the LORD; and beside Me there is no saviour," (Isaiah 43:10,11).

Is God the Saviour of the world?

If you study this verse I quoted above objectively, you will discover the following:
 
There always has been and always will be only one true God.

There is no Saviour of the world except for this one true God.

Therefore, the Saviour of the world must be the one true God.

This leads to another question:

Is Jesus the Saviour of the world?

I do not think that anyone who has read the New Testament would dispute this.  Even your favourite version of the Bible refers to Jesus as the Saviour: "and of the Saviour of us, Christ Jesus" --Titus 2:13.

Therefore, since:

The one true God is the only Saviour of the world (Isaiah 43:10,11), and

Jesus is the Saviour of the world (Titus 2:13; 2 Peter 1:1),

Jesus must therefore be the one true God.

To deny that Jesus is the one true God, one would either have to deny that Jesus is the Saviour, or say that God is lying to us in Isaiah 43:11.  Neither alternative fits with Scripture.

Does Titus 2:13 teach that Jesus is God our Saviour?

In Titus 2:13 it states the following:

"Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works."

Paul is here through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit stating clearly that it is Jesus who is our great God and Saviour unless you are disputing this fact.

Read the whole matthew chapter 6 and understand how Jesus told his followers to pray. Jesus did not pray that prayer for himself rather he said his we should pray like that.

Read the bible and ask the holy spirit for guidance and understanding. It is unfortunate that 7 men in new York have told you that you can never get the gift of the Holy Spirit and that only they can have the Holy Spirit and you will get spiritual food only from them

Jesus is my personal Lord and Saviour. Jesus christ is God.
Did I hear you say ''we'' Jesus is not included in the ''we''. Continue!!!!!!! So all the prayers he prayed while on earth is for ''we'' Jesus out of the picture. I hear you.

Matthew 6:5-15
5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

9 “This, then, is how you should pray:

“‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,[a]
but deliver us from the evil one.[b]’
14 For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins

OLAADEGBU:


Let me help you out. Here some pertinent questions and answers for you to ponder on as to the nature of our Lord Jesus Christ:

"You are my witnesses, says the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that you may know and believe  me, and understand that I am He: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after Me.  I, even I, am the LORD; and beside Me there is no saviour," (Isaiah 43:10,11).

Is God the Saviour of the world?

If you study this verse I quoted above objectively, you will discover the following:
 
There always has been and always will be only one true God.

There is no Saviour of the world except for this one true God.

Therefore, the Saviour of the world must be the one true God.

This leads to another question:

Is Jesus the Saviour of the world?

I do not think that anyone who has read the New Testament would dispute this.  Even your favourite version of the Bible refers to Jesus as the Saviour: "and of the Saviour of us, Christ Jesus" --Titus 2:13.

Therefore, since:

The one true God is the only Saviour of the world (Isaiah 43:10,11), and

Jesus is the Saviour of the world (Titus 2:13; 2 Peter 1:1),

Jesus must therefore be the one true God.

To deny that Jesus is the one true God, one would either have to deny that Jesus is the Saviour, or say that God is lying to us in Isaiah 43:11.  Neither alternative fits with Scripture.

Does Titus 2:13 teach that Jesus is God our Saviour?

In Titus 2:13 it states the following:

"Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works."

Paul is here through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit stating clearly that it is Jesus who is our great God and Saviour unless you are disputing this fact.
" You are my witnesses , says the LORD(God the father) , and my servant whom I have chosen: that you may know and believe me, and understand that I am He: before me there was no God formed(God the Son and God the Holy Spirit , neither shall there be after Me. I, even I, am the LORD(God the father); and beside Me there is no saviour(God the Son and God the Holy Spirit) ," (Isaiah 43:10,11).
" You are my witnesses , says the LORD(God the son) , and my servant whom I have chosen: that you may know and believe me, and understand that I am He: before me there was no God(God the father and the Holy Spirit) formed, neither shall there be after Me. I, even I, am the LORD(God the son); and beside Me there is no saviour(God the father and God the Holy Spirit) ," (Isaiah 43:10,11).
" You are my witnesses , says the LORD(God the Holy Spirit) , and my servant whom I have chosen: that you may know and believe me, and understand that I am He: before me there was no God formed(God the father and God the Son) , neither shall there be after Me. I, even I, am the LORD(God the Holy Spirit); and beside Me there is no saviour(God the father and God the son)," (Isaiah 43:10,11).
Which way?
NOTE: You believe the Trinity consist of three persons. Don't come back and tell me something else.
