I have a few point against the facts stated about Jehovah witness. 1.. You claim not to participate in wars and for that reason Hitler killed a large number of your member, but even Jehovah himself was involved in wars to help the children of Israel according to the bible so who is deceiving who? 2.. You talked about 300 Jehovah witness members in prison in South Korea and Egypt because they refused to stop preaching or to be enlisted in the military but Jesus commanded to give to Caesar what's of Caesar and God what's of God, disobeying the laws of a nation is disobeying God, besides it was written that when you go to a person or people to preach and they refuse, you should dust off your shoes and leave peacefully, Christ didn't tell you to disobey. about enlisting in the military, even God's own people in the bible were listed in the military so where did you get your doctrine from? 3.. You talked about not saluting the flag or singing the national anthem well that's the highest point of hypocrisy because when you have problems such as Health, Security, or financial etc of any sort you go to people who swore oaths and respect the flag, you acquire educational knowledge from institutions set up by the same country you don't respect their flag, if you pledge your alliance to God then you shouldn't enjoy benefits like other citizens who pledged their alliance to God and their respective country. Your Jehovah should create or form another country for you or else you will continue to be treated as Aliens in any country. if your leaders can review these facts and most importantly the doctrine of not giving blood to a dying person, I bet your religion would be the best to practice and promote peace in our world but I guess they wouldn't because all religion is nothing but nonsense. |

Barristter07:So because angels are probably called sons of God in the bible and Jesus is called one and only son of God in bible you then assume Jesus Christ is an angel and expect us to believe right? Jws and assumption are like 5 and 6. You all live your lives for assumptions based on speculations. |

OneJ "I know how it must be frustrating for you not knowing the scriptures, we are not hear against you, we are hear to help you find Christ! Your anger is above measure-it comes from within your nonspiritual mortal body, if you knew the Spirit of God-you would understand the scriptures the way they are written. {1 Corinthians 6:9-10} Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers. {OneJ you are a reviler 'one who speaks abusively against us} {1 Corinthians 6:15-20} Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not! Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.” But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him. {Do you know OneJ Jesus said: I and the Father are One, would this mean He is One Spirit with God-if one Spirit, then they are One} Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. When a Man and a woman joins together as husband and wife, they are no longer two but One-therefore we were brought at a price, and we are joined to the Lord in One Spirit with Him! OneJ: |

Gruni1234:As regards Pharoah & Joseph, Gen41:39-41 is what I had in mind. Thanks for pointing it out. It's appreciated. 2). "so Christ even though was God did not consider himself equal to God", as U well know, it's a contradictory statement which the writer of Phil2:6,7 can not have written himself ,except his exact words were twisted to such an extent that it's contradictory 3) If Jesus is Almighty God and still consider himself inferior to God. John 14:28. Thats not common sense , na mumu. 4) Phil 2:9-11, Jesus exalted position is to glory of God Yahweh, therefore, Yahweh is not under Christ's authority. 1 cor 15:24-27, sheds light on it in lucid details. 5) Thomas himself never called Jesus "our God". but "my God". Context is key. Therefore, Christ is not Yahweh, whom Christ called the only true God John 17:3. Shalom |

Micah 5: 2-4 points that Jehovah is the God of Jesus.. no doubts The Account of 1Timoty 2:5 says that: For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus And let's meditate on the Account of Acts 4:24-30 here the apostles prayed to Jehovah .. they even addressed Jesus as a servant of Jehovah..if we are to be real, this account refutes the Trinity doctrine effectively |

Barristter07: Is the writer of Phil 2 the writer of Mathew 24:36?? Did the writer of Phil 2 take in account Mat 24:36 before writing about Christ? All you have done is to compare two scriptures and conclude that because one says this the other cannot mean otherwise but here is where you are wrong. Jesus never said he was the Son of God, it was others testimony about Him that shows He was the Son of God, He always referred to Himself as the Son of man and so if Jesus should say the Son doesn't know then He's referring to the Son as Man and in the human nature he was limited. That was why He took on that Nature to die for our sins, that was why he was tired, he ate, he slept, was wounded and died... And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.... He came as Man, and even though was God did not make Himself equal with God but humbled himself as Man and even died on the cross. Yet again you don't read my posts I assume because i never said Nature is Substance, what I did say is nature is the inherent/basic character of something according to the dictionary you wanted us to use. And Sum and Substance was a synonym not substance alone standing as a word which I explained but false JW didn't see my explaination but was quick to use something else to support his defence.So stop forcing me to use your words.. Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. [b]For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? [/b]And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? Hebrews 1:4-5 KJV It is clear here that Jesus is not an angel and is the only begotten Son of God. Unless you have a stupid explanation to put up.. waiting for that.. |

Barristter07: yet again you are assuming that Yahweh won't call another Lord because that's what you believe and are taught. But let us allow scripture to talk for itself, we need to know who the writer is in Isaiah 48:16 To determine if Yahweh will call another Lord or not. Clearly it is evident that Yahweh is the Speaker through out and not a single place did Isaiah speak. A point you have nit and cannot prove otherwise.Rightly so Yahweh has no master, we never said Yahweh had a master ... , and all three are one... seems that is still confusing you. For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. Romans 14:11 KJV That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. What can we ascertain from these verses? That the same Yahweh is speaking, Yahweh said as long as He lives every knee shall bow to Him, Yahweh said Every knee shall bow to Jesus Yahweh said Every tongue shall confess that He Yahweh is God Yahweh said Every tongue shall confess that Jesus is Lord So if Yahweh said Every knee and every tongue shall bow and confess that He is God and later says that about Jesus then Jesus is Yahweh. Yahweh calling Jesus Lord is the same as Him calling Himself Lord and that's what you don't get through that thick skull of yours... 1 cor 15:27 And Phil 2:6 was written by one writer Paul in Corinthians he explained further on the authority Yahweh gave to Christ, Now get this and let is be the final time I say this, Sons are equal in essence and nature with their fathers, but subject to them in rank and authority. Likewise, Jesus as God’s Son is equal to him in essence and nature but subject to him in rank and authority.So Christ is currently enjoying a position of honor in which he is not functioning as the Father’s subordinate, but as one holding equal authority with the Father. It is only at the end of the age that Christ will then assume his role of subordination, a role which was his even before he became man by virtue of his being a Son. Now, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was." John 17:5 Here JESUS shared the same glory with the Father but Yahweh said in Isaiah 42:8 that He does not share His glory with anyone not even His Angels, So Jesus claiming to share Yahwehs glory with Him can only make him Yahweh. Yahweh is The Father, Son and Holy Spirit... Paul who equally wrote Phil 2:9-11 didn't seem it fit to tell us that what he meant was that even though God gave Christ a name that's above every name, the giver is not subject to the receiver, a point he made so clear in Corithians, Paul could have never done that because He was attributing a verse from the old testament to Christ, Isaiah 45:23 which Yahweh attributed to Himself. And lastly Jesus is God because He can answer prayers and only God can answer prayers..... I thank the Lord that people are out there reading and observing our posts... |

Gruni1234:Thanks once again to rightly divide the truth and to stand boldly as a good judge. I could not have explained it better... i am also glad others are reading and watching. And may the Lord give the increase, what you seek you will find... I don't know why you doubt the existence of God but like my brother said we cannot tell how but we can pray that Jesus reveals Himself to you. |

Then Jesus said to him: “Go away, Satan! For it is written: ‘It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’”Matthew 4:10 ..this is a what Jesus himself said..so if he's God can he make this statement? Prophey about Jesus the Messiah at Micah 5:2-4 ( King James version) But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. 3 Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which travaileth hath brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel. 4 And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth .. this account is what Jehovah revealed to Micah the prophet about Jesus.. .he shall stand and feed in :1. Jehovah's strength 2.in the majesty of the name of Jehovah HIS GOD |

johnw47:The words of Yahweh himself, that's the proverbial horse's mouth (matt 3:16,17.) & Jesus Christ direct statements ( John 3:16. 7:16,17. Matt 16:13 -17. John 20:17 ) & what his apostles confessed (Acts 3:13. John 20:30,31. Rev 3:12,14,21. 1 cor 8:5,6 &11:3) carries more weight than your famous forgeries & inserted fiction (John 1:1. 1 John 5:7, Rev 1:11 etc) to promote falsehood. (Afterthought...) " Jesus was calling God (YAHWEH) his FATHER "John 5:18 (' I am God's son,', Jesus said. John 10:34-36) But the Pharisees lied that Jesus was " making himself equal to God" John 5:18. but Christ disagreed ( " the Father (Yahweh) is greater than I". John 14:28) Today, the modern day Pharisees (brocab , Johnw47 ,solite3, Prime sky,Anas09 et al) have upgraded that lie & installed Jesus as Almighty God. Trinity is a fundamental lie fit for the dustbin. That's where it belongs. Shalom |

I want them trinitarians to explain the account of John 12 :49-50 For I have not spoken of my own initiative, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment about what to say and what to speak. 50 And I know that his commandment means everlasting life. So whatever I speak, I speak just as the Father has told me with their claim of John 1:1(of which most of the modern translations have distorted the earliest reproduce of the original scriptures according To reasearch #wikipedia) |

Crysthaniel:Psalms 89:6 For who in the skies can compare to Jehovah? Who among the sons of God is like Jehovah? who in the skies, meaning the angels - the sons of the Almighty, can compare to Father GOD none of the angels can compare to FATHER GOD the verse is referring to angels-the sons of God, because we know Jesus Christ the Son of God compares to Father God perfectly: Jesus is the image of God, 2Co_4:4 Jesus is the image of the invisible God, Col_1:15 Jesus is the brightness of his glory, the express image of his person, Heb_1:3 Jesus the man is exactly like Father God |

| Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: 17 Facts People Should Know About Them by zodiakzax: 8:47am On Nov 26, 2018 |
Crysthaniel:John 1:14 ..And the Word was made Flesh.... Phil 2:6-8 ...Who, being 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, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. The Word became human, The Word even though was God did not make Himself equal with God but humbled himself to become a servant.... a servant unto whom? God the Father. This is where you lots don't understand, Jesus became Man and a servant of the Father, so as servant and a man and among his own people He must fulfil the laws and to fulfil the laws he must worship and obey and do the Will of the Father above. So John 12:49-50 makes lots of sense. Jesus if carefully examined makes statement as a Man and a servant and later makes statement as God. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. John 14:13-14 KJV Here JESUS taking the position of God says He will do whatever you ask on His name. Christ is capable of personally answering all prayers that are directed to him or are addressed in his name. The only way that Christ can both hear and answer all these prayers is if he is both omniscient and omnipotent. But Jesus said Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. John 15:16 KJV Now we see that it's no more Jesus answering prayers addressed in his name but the Father... could Jesus have contradicted himself by saying at one point that He will answer the prayers and later say the Father will do it ? Kindly answer since I have also answered yours. Also.. Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Matthew 18:19-20 KJV Again Jesus affirms that the Father will do it and not only that Jesus also affirms that He can be every where at anytime, attributing OMNIPRESENCE to Himself. Only God is OMNIPRESENT. Advice.. You lots should study and research about the doctrine of the trinity before jumping horses. You are all not equip with that knowledge because all you do is hearsay. Go out there and learn about it before fighting against it. It is really frustrating debating with you block heads, something so simple is twisted and twisted until finally dodged. |

zodiakzax:concerning this matter of Jesus Answering prayers ..we should read and study what John 14:31. says But for the world to know that I love the Father, I am doing just as the Father has COMMANDED me to do. Get up, let us go from here we see that everything thing Jesus is doing is an assignment from Jehovah his God - Micah 5 : 4 |
| Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: 17 Facts People Should Know About Them by zodiakzax: 9:36am On Nov 26, 2018 |
Crysthaniel:That is not the point, the point is Jesus says He will answer prayers then again says the Father will answer prayers. So who is answering the prayers? If it's an assignment then why would the servant claim He can answer prayers something only God does... Only God can answer prayers because we pray to Him, if Jesus can answer prayers then He has to receive Prayers hence being prayed to. |
| Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: 17 Facts People Should Know About Them by Crysthaniel(m): 9:44am On Nov 26, 2018 |
zodiakzax:yes Jesus said that no one can come to the father except through him....and The true meaning is that there's no alternative for receiving things from the father except we asked for it in Jesus name..so Jesus can rightly say 'he will do it' coz he Knows his Worth to Jehovah |

Liars To answer simple question you shift to telling lies that Jesus never said he is the Son of God @ Bold , Rev 2:18 Did Jesus call himself son of God or not ? Liars . Why is Jesus and the angels called " Son of God " but the Father is never referred to with that title ? Yet again you don't read my posts I assume because i never said Nature is Substance , what I did say is nature is the inherent/basic character of something according to the dictionary you wanted us to use. And Sum and Substance was a synonym not substance alone standing as a word which I explained but false JW didn't see my explaination but was quick to use something else to support his defence.So stop forcing me to use your words..Liars . If you didn't mean Nature is not Substance , what do you mean by a human Father and son are equal by Nature, Despite they have different qualities ? Explain that and let's see If its Sum or Substance. You think you can just muddle up things for us here , Face the facts!!! U just started ![]() Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. [b]For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?How was Jesus begotten ?
