Geoffreymgk: they are all bad, they all have the same satanic beliefs false jw's haven't got the Holy Spirit, they don't know Him, they think the Holy Spirit is a non personable power God is omnipotent - all powerful, but false jw's think God's power is something seperate from God God speaks and worlds come into being, that's power john 1:1, God and the word is God, God and the Word is the Holy Spirit: Joh_14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. ^^^ Father and Son is Holy Spirit, vvv Jesus is Holy Spirit Joh 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. ^^^ Jesus clearly showing His apostles and disciples that He is God the Holy Spirit Jesus dwelleth with His apostles and disciples and shall be in them 1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. ^^^ describing false jw exactly |

zodiakzax: I am so happy for one thing, Philippians 2:6 uses morphed in two ways , first for Form of God and secondly for form of human. If amplified is correct, Mr Zodiakzax , are you saying Jesus coming in the form of human INCLUDED SUM as well . both must tally if you are saying the truth Character: Sinful human Kind: Inherits sin and pro created by sexual intercourse . DID JESUS HUMAN " FORM " CONTAIN THIS the above as Well ? Question tagged #A4 for clarification and reference. Getting interesting. cc: Gruni1234, you can attempt the above as well since it's all about Sum and Substance. Stupid excuse , does the trinitarian third person, holy spirit know? That's the Million dollar question that will expose the above nonsense you typed. Are you aware that after his resurrection. , he Still admit Only the Father knows ? Sum " wan put you for hot trouble
Liar. First lie is still on record and will always be. Jesus never call himself son of God. Later it was changed to when he was on earth. Its surprising that someone can be this bold to tell sucha bizzare lie. Despite many bible writers even Peter calls him Son of God and he commend that His Father revealed it. Lie 2 has been exposed too That calls into question your position on this thread.
Liaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrr !!! That you can say the underlined despite the highlighted shows who you are. Because I SAID, I SAID Again , I SAID Again, I SAID I SAID , its clear for all to see . This is what Trinity does to people,make them bold liars. You are even lying on Jesus ? Your case is pathetic Okay, was he lying that he said that ? cc: Gruni1234 , I know you won't see all this lies and perversion of truth by your darling zodiakzax

OneJ: Liar, the bible verse in John 5:18 that it was the JEWS NOT THE PHARISEES... Were ALL JEWS PHARISEES? No Who is a Jew? a member of the people and cultural community whose traditional religion is Judaism and who trace their origins to the ancient Hebrew people of Israel. Who is a Pharisee? a member of an ancient Jewish sect, distinguished by strict observance of the traditional and written law, and commonly held to have pretensions to superior sanctity. Bible is clear when talking about Pharisees and Jews . JOHN 5:18 SAID JEWS. You were clearly mistaken, accept it and stop you stupidity. Stop arguing bruv, you will only show more stupidity... |

zodiakzax:Lord is the same thing as My Lord. Jesus didn't say " why did David call him my Lord ? He said why did David call him LORD. Because they are the same thing . You have comprehension issues , Calling anyone Lord means you regard them as Master. If you don't get the verse, ask for explanation . Jesus address him as Lord of heaven and earth. Master over heaven and the Earth. Meaning , Lord of every living thing in heaven and earth Jesus is one of them as such he is under him , 1 Cor 11:3 God is the head of Christ. His Lord. A man is the head of a woman . her Lord. Receive sense. That means someone higher would not call his subordinate Lord. The one send and calling Yahweh Lord at Isaiah 48:16 is not Yahweh because Yahweh his the most high and won't call anyone Lord. Jesus said " [b] David , therefore call him Lord ; so how is he his son ? The moment you call anyone Lord. They are above you is what it means. 1 Like |

zodiakzax: The matter in John 5 to chapter 10, shows that Christ contended with Jews & some were Pharisees. Zodiakzax was not there when those events took place. Many Jews who opposed Jesus were Pharisees, they never believed that Jesus is the son of God. Pls bring proof that no Pharisee was in that crowd. Every unbelieving Jew (anyone against Jesus) is a Pharisee,know it today. |

Barristter07: Yes by Sum and Substance Jesus was Fully Man without Sin Yes, how was He without Sin, I think your own sources explained it under the topic His Birth. So that should help YOU understand it better. Yes so based in His Miraculous conception Jesus was Without Sin and yet Fully Man. And I'm glad you understand the Amplified. https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1200002451 Now let me answer your million in one question, does the Holy Spirit know? 1cor 2:11 For who knows a person's thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. From scripture we know the Holy Spirit Knows the thoughts of God. So yes the Holy Spirit Knows the Hour, time,day the world would end. I am not aware that after the resurrection Jesus was asked about this same matter and He said He doesn't know,.Kindly show me the verse. I am glad you acknowledge that the Son is no more limited after the resurrection. Now, I asked you a simple question which I had to frame and reframe for you several times hoping you get the understanding but your intellect is so poor that I have to reframe again for. Here is what I said: JESUS spoke about Himself and the Father, a relationship of Son and Father, Jesus makes a bold statement that He was One with the Father making Him equal to God in essence and nature. The jews heard this and got furious because Jesus from His statement claims He's Gods Son, they wanted to stone him because he makes himself equal to God. JESUS quotes a verse to support his claim, and then uses that verse to ask the jews why they said He blasphemed? Was it because he said he was God's Son? So let me rephrase for you So which exact statement was he referring to when he said He was God's Son? Jesus was referring to His statement from vs 25 to 30 where from his statement claims He was the Son of God and claims equality with God in nature and essence, I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE. This was what Jesus referred to when He said " because I said I am the Son of God?" He asked them a question, that was not a claim. If you assume it was a claim then kindly show me the verse where Christ was referring to that He said He was the Son of God? Where did Christ say He was the Son of God? What verse was he referring to that He said so? You answered by saying: I SAID I SAID, well he said where did He say? SAID WAS IN THE PAST so Jesus was referring to a statement He made right? Which statement was it? BECAUSE I SAID I AM THE SON OF GOD? Where did He say He was the Son of God? From vs 22-32 before he was going to be stoned I didn't see where He said He was the Son of God. So which statement was he referring to? I guess you should understand it now. You said Jesus was called a Son alongside the angels I asked, where was Christ was called a Son along side angels? His answer: job 38:7 angels are called Sons of God I explained further For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? [/b]And again, [b]I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Hebrews 1:5-8 KJV The writer of Hebrews didn't see it that way, no Angel was begotten of God as a Son. If there is kindly show me. Hebrews is clear that THE SON IS NOT AN ANGEL AND THAT THE SON IS THE ONLY BEGOTTEN ONE. PERIOD UNLESS YOU DISAGREE WITH THE WRITER I showed New American Standard Bible John 1:18 No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God [/b]who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him [b]The Son was already begotten from the beginning. The Son wasn't begotten when He came as Man. Angels are sons of God but Jesus is the begotten Son of God. About Abraham and his begotten son Isaac, I said Monogenes : begotten Beget is to procreate or generate Isaac was Abrahams begotten Son, Abraham brought forth Isaac, Abraham generated Isaac. He asks how did Abraham beget Isaac, My answer through sexual intercourse of course, and I said BUT ABRAHAM DID NOT CREATE ISAAC. LIKEWISE GOD BROUGHT FORTH THE SON, GENERATED THE SON, BEGET THE SON. GOD DID NOT CREATE THE SON, JUST LIKE ABRAHAM DID NOT CREATE ISAAC EVEN THOUGH ISAAC WAS HIS BEGOTTEN SON. Ignoring that He asked a rather stupid and irrelevant question, is Isaac created? To answer that: Isaac was Abraham's begotten Son and not Yahweh's begotten Son, Abraham brought forth Isaac, Abraham generated Isaac. ABRAHAM DID NOT CREATE ISAAC. YAHWEH CREATED ABRAHAM SO YES YAHWEH CREATED ISAAC. Using the same analogy GOD BROUGHT FORTH THE SON, GENERATED THE SON, BEGET THE SON. GOD DID NOT CREATE THE SON.YAHWEH IS NOT CREATED SO THE SON CANNOT BE CREATED. So I've pointed out that since Isaac was Abraham's begotten and not Yahweh's he is a created being since Abraham his father is created but Jesus was the begotten Son of Yahweh not Abraham and since Yahweh is not created the Son cannot be created. |

Hairyrapunzel:That's exactly what i'm saying! Because if there's TRUE Christians, there must certainly be false Christians too. So what are the WORKS or FRUITS to distinguish between the TRUE and FALSE Jehovah's Witnesses have established a globally recognised system of worship and just like the first century Christians they STRONGLY believe that it's the ONE and ONLY way of worship acceptable before the true God. Remember that Jesus wasn't interested in the false religions but He only directs honesthearted persons to the One and only WAY to worship His Heavenly Father,by emphasizing on what worshippers ought to do. He also prophesied that there will be many false prophets misleading many! So please it will be meaningless worshipping without enlightening sincere ones about IDENTIFYING Jesus' true followers today |

And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. Matthew 23:8-9 KJV One is your Master,teacher,Lord that is Christ but one is your Father that is The Father...

snnazzy24:That's a close one Sir but it's like there are more ATHEISTS in the house than i thought. You said "all religion is nothing but NONSENSE" and it's like some people agreed with you on that. Well that's just by the way. First of all "JEHOVAH was involved in WARS supporting the Israelites" YES! But let's find out why the spirit who claim to be the Creator of all things should be one-sided during conflicts? HE wanted to establish a nation that's not under the influence of Satan and his demons because Satan started ruling humans immediately after the incident in the Eden, this nation will serve as an example for all other nations as to what happened that led to worshipping different Gods, they must have DIVINE rules to distinguish them from all other races with human traditional laws, they must prove to be dedicated to their God and King. But Satan is organizing those nations under his control to stop all of that. JEHOVAH made a name for HIMSELF by making the first and foremost world power to release HIS people without a military force. So even though Satan kept making one person or another as his human representative to rule the world, God wants all of them to leave the Israelites alone for the purpose HE brought them out of Egypt. That is why JEHOVAH kept doing things that will make them know that someone much more powerful than all their false Gods put together is behind Israel. If they're thinking that it's all coincidental then JEHOVAH will use just one Israelite to kill one thousand of HIS opposers. Instead of them to desist from attacking HIS people, they're planning different forms of military settings. Satan is using his agents to deceive them that the Israelites aren't invincible but JEHOVAH kept showing that HE is behind that little nation,until they killed the person that Moses promised saying "a prophet will rise amongst you just like me and you must listen to whatever he says". After killing most of the true prophets sent to them, they killed Jesus (the chief cornerstone) so God abandoned them and their nation. Today the only reason that Israel still exist is because of the Bible, so that Satan won't be able to discard totally all that's written in the Bible. When the Christian congregation began in the first century, they will never raise a weapon against anyone because they strongly believe that Christianity will go round and the only way to preserve the love amongst the worshippers of the true God is neutrality during conflicts. So Christians don't go to war until Satan started planting falsehood after the death of the Apostles. What Jesus told Christians is "FLEE" if some people are trying to take your territories as their personal possessions. Matthew 10:23 So true Christians have NO reason to take up arms for battle, that's why Apostle Paul reminded them saying "our warring is not against flesh and blood"(Ephesians 6:12) Today true Christians are awaiting the coming of the great day of Jehovah, when HE will exterminate all those opposing HIS right to rule as King. NO Christian in the flesh is permitted to participate in this great battle because it's Jesus and the heavenly host that's coming to take vengeance against all those who has a hand in the killing of God's faithful prophets both of ancient times and present! Revelations 19:11-21 compared to Matthew 11:49-51 As for Caesar and what belongs to him. Well that means the respect,honor and fear of those in Superior authorities (Romans 13:7) but when such ones gives orders that conflicts with God's will,then Christians will emphatically say NO! Act 5:29 You can't just give me orders to take up weapons against my fellowman due to your political ambitions, that's why NO other religious group has the love that permeates the congregations of Jehovah's witnesses. We will never take up arms against our fellow man! If our fellow man takes up weapons to kill us, we'll flee because we're sure that Satan is the one controlling them by means of POLITICTS. We must not kill our fellow man for no reason whatsoever! And if eventually we are killed while running away, we're certain of a resurrection that's why we'll rather allow the one under Satan's influence to kill us than kill first, since that one's hope is a change of heart. Acts 7:58-60 Stephen's prayer was heard that is why Saul later became Apostle Paul and he regretted all that he did against the true worshippers of God. Act 26:4-11 How would Paul have had the opportunity of writing all those mind-blowing letters that true Christians are reading today if Stephen have taken up arms to fight back? Today both Paul and Stephen are good examples for true Christians! Saluting the flag and national anthem started in the days of Nebuchadnezzar. So true Christians know that Satan is using those settings to create hatred amongst the human race! You'll stand to say lofty things about your country, while another man will do the same for his country. And when there is conflicts between politicians, you'll be willing with all your might and soul to kill someone you never knew. Well you've said it all. Jehovah's Witnesses is the best to PRACTICE and promote PEACE in our world, just that you don't understand why we avoid certain things! |

Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: 17 Facts People Should Know About Them by zodiakzax: 6:05pm On Nov 27, 2018 |
Barristter07: Let me answer you: JESUS became Fully Man and without Sin, Man originally was Without Sin, Adam before the Fall was Without Sin, after the Fall sin came to play. JESUS CAME WITHOUT SIN AS WAS THE FIRST MAN FROM THE GARDEN, GOD DIDNT CREATE ADAM TO BE IMPERFECT. So Jesus was in sum and Substance is Fully Man, original Man,perfect man. You asked a "million in one Question" that did the Spirit Know, I pointed out to you that Yes He did because He knows the thoughts of God.... To further continue your stupidity after rejecting the Word of God, the verse that says the Spirit Knows the thoughts of God, you continued by saying Christ said no one knows except the Father. Now get this The Holy Spirit Hasn't been fully sent to the world yet, He was with the Father and as such one with the Father. The Spirit of God is the same as Him and that was why Paul said who knoweth the thoughts of a man except the Spirit of man within him.. Likewise The Spirit of God that was within God, who wasn't yet made Manifest to the Church was and is one with God... The Holy Spirit was sent to us and was made Manifest to the Church , He is the allos parakletos (John 14:16) meaning ‘another of the same kind’ as Christ, in contrast to ‘heteros’ meaning ‘another of a different kind’. So Jesus after leaving sent us the Holy Spirit. So the Spirit who wasnt fully made manifest could not have been mentioned. You made a claim that Jesus said He doesn't know the time even when He resurrected I asked where he was asked and He said He doesn't know after the resurrection? You quoted Acts 1:5 -7, let's look at the scriptures, When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. Acts 1:6-7 KJV JESUS NEVER said it is not for you and I to know the times or the seasons which the Father has put in His own Power but rather He said it is not for YOU to know.... JESUS NEVER CLAIMED HE DIDNT KNOW. JESUS NEVER said he was the Son of God when He walked this earth. Good, now you understand my question after so long, You run back to revelation because You clearly can't answer John 10 which you were so sure of since we started this argument, Now evident you are doubting yourself, let me tell this, we know what we talk of and what claims we make. You obviously don't know what you talk of. I pointed out to you that Jesus Never said He was the Son of God when He walked the Earth. After resurrection Jesus says He's the Son of God and not only that, He said He's the first and the last, Alpha and Omega, beginning and the End, the source of God's creation, Jesus now assumes His position as God. On Earth he did not equal Himself to God but He humbled himself. I asked you where He made that statement Your answer: John said there many things he did that were not on record. So now you assumed He said it, you are arguing based on Assumption now , well since it's not in OUR SCRIPTURE THAT HE SAID THAT then it cannot be proven hence your answer makes no sense. Begotten Son of God.. .... interesting... arguing with fools are quite interesting.... The writer of Hebrews was not the writer of Job, the writer of Hebrews said Jesus was the Begotten Son of God, the writer of Hebrews made it so clear that NO ANGEL was the Begotten of God. Job said Angels were the sons of God not begotten sons I never said Angels were not called Sons of God but rather they are not begotten Sons or begotten Son. Now to prove my case and not to dwell on ASSUMPTIONS WHICH BARRISTTER07 IS DOING NOW, I cited 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? And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Hebrews 1:5-8 KJV The writer of Hebrews didn't see it that way, no Angel was begotten of God as a Son. No angel was the Begotten Son of God. If there is kindly show me. Hebrews is clear that THE SON IS NOT AN ANGEL AND THAT THE SON IS THE ONLY BEGOTTEN ONE. PERIOD UNLESS YOU DISAGREE WITH THE WRITER I said No angel is the begotten Son of God. You keep on saying Angels are sons of God, that is not the point, the point is NO ANGEL IS THE BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD. So stop making a fool out of yourself when clearly you cannot show where angels are the begotten sons of God. I pointed out to you that Jesus was not begotten when He became a man but was begotten before he walked the Earth New American Standard Bible John 1:18 No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him There were no fellows when Father Brought forth the Son, when the Son was begotten nothing was present, no creation was present, infact it was through the Son that All things were created. So where were the fellows then? You see how stupidity leads You to ask foolish questions.. So yes angels are the sons of God BUT NO ANGEL IS THE BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD. PERIOD. About Abraham and his begotten son Isaac, I said Monogenes : begotten Beget is to procreate or generate Isaac was Abrahams begotten Son, Abraham brought forth Isaac, Abraham generated Isaac. He asks how did Abraham beget Isaac, My answer through sexual intercourse of course, and I said BUT ABRAHAM DID NOT CREATE ISAAC. LIKEWISE GOD BROUGHT FORTH THE SON, GENERATED THE SON, BEGET THE SON. GOD DID NOT CREATE THE SON, JUST LIKE ABRAHAM DID NOT CREATE ISAAC EVEN THOUGH ISAAC WAS HIS BEGOTTEN SON. Ignoring that He asked a rather stupid and irrelevant question, is Isaac created? To answer that: Isaac was Abraham's begotten Son and not Yahweh's begotten Son, Abraham brought forth Isaac, Abraham generated Isaac. ABRAHAM DID NOT CREATE ISAAC. YAHWEH CREATED ABRAHAM SO YES YAHWEH CREATED ISAAC. Using the same analogy GOD BROUGHT FORTH THE SON, GENERATED THE SON, BEGET THE SON. GOD DID NOT CREATE THE SON.YAHWEH IS NOT CREATED SO THE SON CANNOT BE CREATED. So I've pointed out that since Isaac was Abraham's begotten and not Yahweh's he is a created being since Abraham his father is created but Jesus was the begotten Son of Yahweh not Abraham and since Yahweh is not created the Son cannot be created. In all the above i posted, you again stupidly ignored and went ahead to ask the most useless and foolish questions I have ever been asked. How did Yahweh create Abraham. Yahweh formed him out of the ground and breathed the spirit of life into him and he became man a created being not a begotten Son. In answering a fool one must become one. I admit I am a fool to even answer this question.. What was your point YOU HAVE TOTALLY FAILED TO PROVE AND SUPPORT YOUR CLAIMS. ONLY THING I HEAR YOU SAY IS "FUNNY FUNNY" |

Gruni1234: Thomas was an apostle and a jew who recognised and saw Yahweh as the only God. If He called Christ my God then it can only be that he recognised Christ as Yahweh. As you rightly said, Thomas was an apostle of Christ, yes Thomas called Christ God? Yes This affirms the Apostles saw Christ as God? Yes Sir/madam Most of the Apostles didn't call God almighty, yes a trustworthy claim. Yes they affirm that Christ is God because Thomas the Apostle called him God. |

Gruni1234: Rightly so but they reject it, and say Jesus was "a god" and worse they came up with their own translation that says that and the Word was a god. NWT. That is why they reject and as educated,loving and patient as we are, we allow them the benefit of that doubt to still prove to them that Jesus is God according to other verses. Like when Thomas call him God, they couldn't remove that from their bible so we can use that against them..maybe some generations to come they might remove it |

zodiakzax: Comprehension issues, Explain the term " Lord of heaven and earth " And lets see if Jesus didn't call him Lord Meanwhile, don't digress from the original issue which is the one sent at Isaiah 48:16 is not Yahweh, Yahweh has No Lord but the one sent calls him Lord.. 1 Like |

zodiakzax: " Likeness of MEN " Plural Are men sinners or perfect ?
Somersault , Jesus said NOBODY knows , Does this not prove holy spirit is not a person ? If holyspirit is a person, abeg why didn't it know .? Why would Jesus said NOBODY except the father ? Hahahahaha
The Red says it all . so much for comprehension.
You are feeling the heat , sorry. Truth is bitter I guess. Both Jesus and the angels are termed " Sons of God " Why? They are all created. Unless you mean angels are not created. " Begotten ". Doesnt change this fact . Abraham has many other Sons as well , but only Isaac was regarded as begotten , it never means Isaac was NOT procreated by sexual intercourse like all other sons The question I asked about How Yahweh created Abraham wasn't foolish, its because you saw it would wound you . Same person claiming Isaac isn't created by could Claim Abraham is a created being. , Did Terah Create Abraham or Beget him ? If he was begotten too, why do you Still say Abraham was Created? !!!

Barristter07: So you have stylishly avoided quoting the bible verse where Jesus addressed jehovah as lord or as master. OK. Now you have brought us to Isaiah again when they start firing you from this verse you quoted you will then run to new testament. I just dey look and laugh. Well, when you feel you know bible only to see you don't know jack you begin to run from pillar to post. I am not surprised to see this come from someone who believes some 8 old men in new York are the only channel of communication between God and man today and also only joining the organization these old men head guarantees his salvation because the 8 old men told him so. 1 Like |

Barristter07: Men are sinners and Jesus Christ was man here on earth. Barrister07 says since Jesus was man so he was a sinner and he was imperfect. Abeg is this one new light? Or did your gb say Jesus Christ is a sinner and imperfect so that their (gb) being uninspired, imperfect and fallible is accepted? Is it that gb wants their errors in doctrinal matters and organizational direction accepted? Barrister07 has now written his own bible in his head stating Jesus Christ is a sinner and imperfect. 1 Like |
