Mark 12:29 ,Jesus quoted Deut 6:4. "Jehovah our God is one Jehovah" (The Lord no dey Hebrew manuscript, if U quoted another person, U stick to his statement in your mother tongue).
One God, the only true God, Yahweh/Jehovah (John 17:3) is not Jesus Christ.

the son , the Father and the ghost is indeed 3gods, triune Gods.

"I am " does not exist in Hebrew language. (pls research. )Exo 3:14 have no link with John 8:58, where your mind dey.
The Hebrew. "I will be what I will be" was mistranslated as. " I am" in Exo 3:14.
More later...

Look at it this way.
The script said and she was found with the child of the Holy Spirit.
Then Jesus Himself said that God was his father. Later He said that Him and His Father are One.
When the Jews took up stones to throw at Him, He said asked them, of all the good deeds you see me do from the Father, which one are you beating me up for? They answered Him saying, for good work we stone thee not, but thou being a man and maketh thyself God. You see, they understood the meaning of what it meant to be The Son of God, it means God incarnate. But they were only helping Him get to the cross. They were fulfilling scripture. After He rose from the dead, in Revelation He was now back to His true form. He said "I am the First and the Last" read everything He was saying, it was like God is talking
Jehovah of the Old testament is Jesus of the New testament

Proverbs 31:10-31
10 A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.
11 Her husband has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.
12 She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.
13 She selects wool and flax
and works with eager hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships,
bringing her food from afar.
15 She gets up while it is still night;
she provides food for her family
and portions for her female servants.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She sets about her work vigorously;
her arms are strong for her tasks.
18 She sees that her trading is profitable,
and her lamp does not go out at night.
19 In her hand she holds the distaff
and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
20 She opens her arms to the poor
and extends her hands to the needy.
21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
22 She makes coverings for her bed;
she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is respected at the city gate,
where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
and supplies the merchants with sashes.
25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
26 She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
27 She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
29 “Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all.”
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
31 Honor her for all that her hands have done,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.


Did you see the she they used to scatter this passage? I guess it's a man they were talking about.

I no fit laff o. Jehovah's witnesses will not kill me with laff. This one is saying she in English doesn't mean woman/girl in Hebrew scriptures because he wants to force us to believe his assumption that wisdom in proverbs 8 is Jesus Christ and wisdom is a man. Lol o.

Hi, I have been quite busy. I will make time and respond appropriately. Now, if John 1:1 is translated as "a god" that will make Christians Polytheist no doubt. We have instances where the definite article didn't preceed theos but was still rendered God (I will provide scriptures from sources later). Christians are not Polytheist because Christians have only One God and One Lord. My question is if most scholars agree that the word was divine, why didn't the NWT leave it as such? Why say "a god" when that will make Christianity Polytheist. Have a nice day.

As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one. For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and Lords many,) 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.

Barristter07:

Sovereign Lord is over ALL.

Jesus is not the one addressed as sovereign Lord. That renders your postulation weak and useless

Don't forget someone made him Lord , But no one made the Father God.

So it's basically senseless comparing the two

My dear Barristter07, if God the Father is the sovereign Lord then why is Jesus the Christ the One Lord? This question by zodiakzax is clear enough for me. If I come to your house and your father is head of the house but delegates that authority you, does it mean that your Father stops being the head? Nay, He is the overall head right? So in this case when I come and ask who is the One head of the family, your Father should be the one in question not you the son for you were only sharing in the authority of your Father, you are not the authority. Now it is very interesting that there is One God and One Lord. And these are both the Father and the Son. The Father is God and the Son is the Ruler and Master.

Christians are not polytheists if John 1:1 reads Jesus "the Word is a god".
It perfects & solidify the harmony of the holy scriptures.

I can't fathom why U are bringing this up again.

3). Mr Gruni, remove indefinite articles from Acts 12:22 ,Acts 28:6 & defend the rendition of both verses without indefinite articles.

My dear OneJ, let us be wise and read carefully all that your holy Scriptures say and let us in all honesty seek truth. For though they be that are called gods and lords etc, the writer says that about idols. False gods, he said for though there are some that are called gods and lords but unto the Christian the is but One God and One Lord. If Christianity Aknowledges that there are many gods then I'm sorry dear then your religion is Polytheism not monotheism. You see you might think im taking sides buts that's not the case. From every source Christianity is Monotheist but if Christianity believes in many gods then the religion is to be questioned. I'm very critical about this. I think ypubshould also stop playing games, we are learned and we know and understand what we read..thank.you.

So why not leave it to be and the Word was Divine? Why did the NWT insert another meaning? Is the translation not supposed to be accurate? You can put a foot note there if you want but to render it "a god" makes a laughing stock of your own belief my dear.

johnw47:

we have seen how false jw's are false prophets
and so not of God

here is a little on the contradictions of false jw's
written by a christian:


The Watchtower says it is God's only true organization: "Only this organization functions for Jehovah's purpose and to his praise. To it alone God's Sacred Word, the Bible, is not a sealed book," (Watchtower, July 1, 1973, p. 402). It claims to speak for God, yet it has produced numerous contradictory statements. Therefore, it is not God's organization.

Who is the Faithful and Discreet Slave, the Watchtower Organization or Charles Taze Russell?

Watchtower Organization is Faithful and Discreet Slave:
"Jesus foretold that among his people there would be a "faithful and discreet slave" class who would be providing the spiritual food to God's family of devoted servants on earth, acting as his channel of communication and overseeing the carrying out of the Kingdom interests world wide. (Matt. 24:45-47) These anointed overseers serve as though being guided in their activities by the right hand of Christ," (Watchtower, Jan. 15, 1969, p. 51).
Russell is Faithful and Discreet Slave:
"Thousands of the readers of Pastor Russell's writings believe that he filled the office of 'that faithful and wise servant,' and that his great work was giving to the household of faith meat in due season. His modesty and humility precluded him from openly claiming this title, but he admitted as much in private conversation," (Watchtower, Dec. 1, 1916, p. 357).
Watchtower Denies Russell ever claimed to be Faithful and Discreet Slave:
"From this it is clearly seen that the editor and publisher of Zion's Watch Tower disavowed any claim to being individually, in his person, that "faithful and wise servant." He never did claim to be such," (God's Kingdom of a Thousand Years has Approached, 1973, p. 346).
Watchtower claims to be only organization to find scriptural guidance yet condemns the Vatican for doing the same thing.
Watchtower is the only organization able to interpret the Bible:

I am not with the Jehovah's Witnesses, but just recently came across this while doing searches. I am particularly interested in what is being said about Charles Taze Russell. Contrary to the way it is often made to appear there was no "organization" such as the Jehovah's Witnesses associated with the Watch Tower in the days of Russell. Russell would not allow the Watch Tower of his day to be used for such sectarian authoritarianism. Evidently, however, there were those who were advocating a kind of sectarian authoritarianism even while Russell was alive, but it was held in restraint until after Russell died. Russell, however, was never a member of the Jehovah's Witnesses, and Rutherford created the 'Jehovah's Witnesses' organization by rejecting the core Biblical teachings of Russell, and replacing them with teachings that, as far as I am able to ascertain, are basically still held to by the Jehovah's Witnesses' leadership to this day.

It is true that Russell never claimed to be the faithful and wise servant. He never assumed any special authority to tell anyone what they should believe about this, but he did say:

Some of the dear brethren seem to find as much about Brother Russell in the Bible as they find about the Lord Jesus, and I think that is a great mistake. I do not find it there. Some of them say that I am blinded on that subject, that they all can see better than I can. Perhaps they can, I do not know, but I think, dear friends, that there is a danger in that direction, and I would like to put you all on guard. I think it is the Lord's will that we should recognize every agency God uses, but we are not to recognize any agency of God as being in any competition whatever with the Lord or with his divine arrangement. He is the fountain of blessing, he only is most to be praised. -- -1910; ("Convention Report Sermons", pg. 125)

The six volumes of SCRIPTURE STUDIES are not intended to supplant the Bible.... It is for each one to think for himself, however, and to guide his conduct in every way accordingly.... We should say, "I will not take it because these studies say so; I wish to see what the Bible says." And so we would study the Scriptures in the light of these SCRIPTURE STUDIES; we would prove every point, or disprove it, as the case might be. We would be satisfied with nothing less than a thorough investigation of the Bible from this standpoint... because the Scriptures are the standard.... "SCRIPTURE STUDIES" NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE BIBLE. -- Watch Tower, September 15, 1910, page 298.

The Bible is God's Word to us. And while prompt to acknowledge the channels and agencies honored by the Lord in bringing to our attention the things of his Word new and old, let us never forget that the Word itself is the final arbiter, and that if any teaching fails to harmonize with that Word it is because there is no light in it. (Isa. 8:20) -- "The Child Samuel", Watch Tower, October 15, 1895.

What Christendom needs today is a return to the Bible, an investigation of its teachings and, correspondingly, a rejection of all human creeds, which are admittedly more or less defective. Let us "stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free." Let us accept the Bible as the only standard. Let us study it and understand it to the extent of our ability. Let us rejoice in every degree of harmony we all attain in the correct understanding of it. Let us fellowship as Christians all who acknowledge its Divine authenticity and who, in harmony with its presentation, are trusting in Jesus as their redeemer; and who, in acceptance of His invitation, have forsaken all to be His footstep followers.
These are the real Christians, with whatever sect or party they may have become identified, through the supposition that they were doing the will of God. These alone are the saints; these alone are running in the race course; these alone have the opportunity of making their "calling and election sure." -- DIVINE OMNISCIENCE AND ALMIGHTY POWER, St. Paul Enterprise, December 11, 1917, as reprinted in Harvest Gleanings, Volume 3 (begins on page 140).
We preach not ourself but Christ. We substantiate nothing except by his Word. We make no laws, formulate no creed, deprive no sheep of his full liberty in Christ; but merely on every question quote the Word of the Lord, through the apostles and prophets. We boast nothing, claim nothing of ourself. We are content to serve the Lord and his flock to the best of our ability--exacting no tithes, no "honor of men," no confession of authority, no compensation; hoping merely for the love of the Lord and of those who are his children and have his Spirit. -- Watch Tower, January 15, 1906, page 20.

We have urged and still urge that the dear children of God read studiously what we have presented; – the Scriptures, the applications and interpretations – and then form their own judgments. We neither urge nor insist upon our views as infallible, nor do we smite or abuse those who disagree; but regard as 'Brethren' all sanctified believers in the precious blood. — Watch Tower, October 1, 1907, page 294.

I disclaim any special inspiration. In some particulars my views agree with those of other Bible students, and in other respects they disagree. Each hearer must use his own judgment, do his own Bible study, and reach his own conclusions. — St. Paul Enterprise, November 21, 1916.

Gruni1234 is not being honest.
Many scholars agree that in John 1:1 "the word is a god" is accurate because it is the same Greek grammatical construct with Acts 28:6, 12:22,. Other scholars hold a different opinion. That's actually what "John 1:1 Wikipedia" said , but U came to NL to twist the facts.
Intellectual dishonesty.

Let's see if the evidence supported your claims.

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/ english/divine

Divine, definition
1. "Connected with a god, or like a god".

https://biblehub.com/greek/2304.htm

theios - divine
divinity, deity
( Latinnumendivinum)
not only used by the Greeks to denote the divine nature, power, providence, in the general, with out reference to any individual deity"

In other words that verse actually means that Jesus Christ has godlike qualities, attributes of a god.
John 1:1, " the word is a god, (NWT) is accurate.


Mr Gruni is a biased observer. A Trinity dogma believer.
The Sources from Biblehub.com & the scholarly dictionary.cambridge.org
confirmed the validity of the NWT rendition of John 1:1 " the Word is a god".
Mr Gruni, NWT is very accurate.
It is the gospel truth.
I will not force U to accept it.
Shalom

I'm not keen on arguments with anybody but standing with the truth is my priority.

These sources are not JWs but they confirm the gospel truth that Trinity falsehood peddling crew hate to see & hear.

brocab:
Don't we just love the net, when it can give us so much information about anybody these day-Charles Taze Russell was surely one of Jehovah's Witnesses who was the founder!

Much of the information obtained through the internet, especially related to Charles Taze Russell, is often somebody's distortions, misrepresentations, and outright falsehoods about Russell.

Charles Taze Russell was definitely never a member of the Jehovah's Witnesses. He preached against such an "organization," and he preached against the kind of message being presented by that organization. He was definitely not the founder of that in which he did not believe, and which he preached against.
For links to some of my documented research related to Russell and the later "Jehovah's Witnesses.
http://rlctr..com/2016/12/jws.html

brocab:
Charles Russell was also a 33 rd degree Mason,

This is definitely false. Russell was never a member of any of man's secret societies, and the message he devoted his life to preaching demonstrates this. While we have tens of thousands of pages of Russell's works that overwhelmingly testify that he was not a member of the Freemasons, the only evidence anyone ever presents to claim that he was a Freemason is related to certain Biblical symbolism he used and/or to various statements he made taken out of context.
For links to some my documented refutation of accusations that Russell was a Freemason:
http://rlctr..com/2016/12/freemasons.html

brocab:
he was formally a Seven day Adventist

Russell was never a member of the 7th Day Adventists. He had some association with some of the Second Adventists, but there is no historicial record that he ever even attended one meeting held by the 7th Day Adventists.

-also Joseph Smith the founder of the Mormons was a 33 rd Mason both were Seven day Adventist.

While I have no interest in defending Joseph Smith, as I believe that he was misled by spirits appearing to him, one should not just accept things as being fact. I know many people can present historical falsehoods in such a way that they do appear to be fact, but one should dig deeper to verify or disprove what is being presented. Joseph Smith died in 1844; it was in this same year that some of the Second Adventists began to promote the idea Saturday sabbath observance. The Seventh-Day Adventist Church was formed later in the year 1863. Most of the Second Adventists, however, rejected this idea. At any rate, historically, Joseph Smith could not have formerly been a member of a group that did not exist in his day.

I am not with the Jehovah's Witnesses, but just recently came across this while doing searches. I am particularly interested in what is being said about Charles Taze Russell. Contrary to the way it is often made to appear there was no "organization" such as the Jehovah's Witnesses associated with the Watch Tower in the days of Russell. Russell would not allow the Watch Tower of his day to be used for such sectarian authoritarianism. Evidently, however, there were those who were advocating a kind of sectarian authoritarianism even while Russell was alive, but it was held in restraint until after Russell died. Russell, however, was never a member of the Jehovah's Witnesses, and Rutherford created the 'Jehovah's Witnesses' organization by rejecting the core Biblical teachings of Russell, and replacing them with teachings that, as far as I am able to ascertain, are basically still held to by the Jehovah's Witnesses' leadership to this day.

It is true that Russell never claimed to be the faithful and wise servant. He never assumed any special authority to tell anyone what they should believe about this, but he did say:

My Bro, the truth does not hide . But it is very bitter to swallow it jejely.
Pls go and see the Greek manuscript texts of 1 tim3:16, read it to the end.
https://biblehub.com/1_Timothy/3-16
KJV,Jubilee Bibles stuck with the lie.
The truth ALWAYS STAND OUT .


Bro I am actually using my last strength to get the message to you. It is not like I am going to make a living of it. I am just happy to tell you what I have learned and learn what I don't know in return.
King James version is accurate. He was the first to translate in English from Latin after breaking out of Roman Catholic Church.
Jesus always emphasized that he and the father is one. The reason people are not teaching that Jesus is God is because people think they have other people who were or are knowledgeable enough to be equal with him.
Do you not know that the gospel of the kingdom is not milk and bread? Even Jesus himself died by the hands of the federal government of his time because they taught he was winning people to the father of creation, and they needed the praise and worship of those people.
Till date the state keep fighting against the fact that Jesus is God by printing new editions. Before the protestant church broke out of catholic in Germany headed by Martin Luther, the hierarchy forbade Christians to own the scripture. They only read it to them. Popes were seen as God incarnate in the place of Jesus. It was a pagan state practice in the church. Emperor is now a Papal

How can there be many Gods in various places when the Bible teaches that God is but one?

No she is only used for man. Intact anywhere you see she in the Bible just know the person is a man/boy. Are you satisfied now?


It doesn't change the fact that wisdom is a girl who cries at the city gate and jehovah didn't have wisdom until he created wisdom. You want to change bible by all means.

"IS GOD REALLY MALE?
"....God might be a "He" in the Bible, but non Hebrew literate individuals do not always know that in Hebrew language, grammatical gender is NOT an indicator of actual gender. Hebrew nouns have grammatical gender. Each object is masculine or feminine.
There are no gender neutral pronouns in Hebrew, that is, there is no equivalent of the English "it".
Everything is a "he" or a. "she"
The Facts are obvious.
Wisdom is an abstract quality, "it " is the appropriate description in English but in the original. Hebrew Bible Proverbs ( chapters 1,3,4,7 etc ,) Wisdom is a "she",personified as a woman.
However in Prov 8:22-30, "wisdom" is revealed to be a created being..

I know that you are having a good time but I want you to quickly correct the impression that God may be a female. First of all Apostle Paul who banned female preachers or female breadwinner is a Jew born on a Hebrew community in Greece. The scripture also teaches that Adam is made to be the image of God and Adam is a male so God has to be male when he takes a physical form. Remember, eve was removed from the man but that didn't mean he was an hermaphrodite. Hermes plus Aphrodite in one.
Some times practising raw Christianity cause great pains because using words can give different meanings.
God is an object of worship which means He has a form like a human being and He is a male like Adam was. When He was born of a woman to carry our cross He was still a man.
I will have to worship that man that died for my sins. Nobody, king, governor, president, doctor, lawyer or even preacher will do that for you.

That wisdom is a woman is pagan induced. They are referring to Adam as God and Eve as Wisdom who is said to be the mother of all living things.
Eve was taken out of the bossom of Adam.
Jesus said no one has ever seen God but the only begotten son who is from the bosom of the father has declared him.

Jesus is the wisdom of God.

You may claim you are not a JW but you are-surely trying to make your point becoming one, I think if we were to look a little deeper we would find other resources around the net about whom Charles Russell really is. You need to allow your fingers to do the walking, and open up new sites, just one site doesn't prove they are right-you need to open up your heart a little bit more, and question why there are so many sites that make these claims about the Jehovah witnesses, if none of them were true?

Allow the public to decide about Charles Russell, there is so much history to find about almost anybody on the net, trying to justify your JW beliefs doesn't prove you are right, and if we were to allow ourselves to find the missing links, then we don't need to hear it straight out from the horses mouths 'like yours, just trying to justify yourself trying to find new ways to cover it up!

Russell was never a member of the 7th Day Adventists. He had some association with some of the Second Adventists, but there is no historicial record that he ever even attended one meeting held by the 7th Day Adventists.
And then you write this below: so what is he, an Adventist or not an Adventist? The Seventh-Day Adventist Church was formed later in the year 1863. before, it was the Second Adventists, Miller an Adventist preacher who studied together with Russell-and both preached false literature of the coming of Christ..

At any rate, historically, Joseph Smith could not have formerly been a member of a group that did not exist in his day.
So the {Second Adventist} became the 7th day Adventist around 1883-so either way Russell was involved with the Adventist, Miller was a Adventist and a Mason at the same time, of course Russell was involved, Russell's family line 'were all Masons, the founder of Ellen White was a Mason connecting with each other, Joseph Smith was a Mason-all connected to the same blood line "all these false religions predicted false literature about the coming of Christ..
Jehovah's Witnesses trace their origins to the nineteenth century Adventist movement in America. That movement began with William Miller, a Baptist lay preacher who, in the year 1816, began proclaiming that Christ would return in 1843. His predictions of the Second Coming or Second Advent captured the imagination of thousands in Baptist and other mainline churches.
Perhaps as many as 50,000 followers put their trust in Miller's chronological calculations and prepared to welcome the Lord, while, as the appointed time approached, others watched nervously from a distance.
Recalculations moved the promised {second Adventist} from March, 1843 to March, 1844, and then to October of that year. Alas, that date too passed uneventfully. So Adventist of any sort are now 7 day Adventist.Jehovah's Witnesses, likewise, trace their roots back to the Adventists, anybody who uses Masonic symbols involving their organisations-is producing darkness in cultism:::
After the "Disappointment of 1844" Miller's following fell apart, with most of those who had looked to him returning to their respective churches before his death in 1849. But other disappointed followers kept the movement alive, although in fragmented form. Their activities eventually led to the formation of several sects under the broad heading of "Adventism" including the Advent Christian Church, the Life and Advent Union, the Seventh-Day Adventists, and various Second Adventist groups.
Russell and Miller were partners-William Miller was an active Freemason until 1831.
Miller resigned his Masonic membership in 1831, stating that he did so to "avoid fellowship with any practice that may be incompatible with the word of God among masons". By 1833 he wrote in a letter to his friends to treat Freemasonry "as they would any other evil".

Charles Taze Russell was definitely never a member of the Jehovah's Witnesses. He preached against such an "organization," and he preached against the kind of message being presented by that organization. He was definitely not the founder of that in which he did not believe, and which he preached against.
For links to some of my documented research related to Russell and the later "Jehovah's Witnesses.
http://rlctr..com/2016/12/jws.html



This is definitely false. Russell was never a member of any of man's secret societies, and the message he devoted his life to preaching demonstrates this. While we have tens of thousands of pages of Russell's works that overwhelmingly testify that he was not a member of the Freemasons, the only evidence anyone ever presents to claim that he was a Freemason is related to certain Biblical symbolism he used and/or to various statements he made taken out of context.

Father = One God ( Father of all , Sovereign Lord)

Jesus = One Lord ( over others excluding his Father - 1 Cor 15:27)

You now went ahead to say your jehovah created wisdom before wisdom created other things.

Your jehovah has finally revealed to you the words that you will take figuratively and the words you take literally and the ones you should discard and turn a blind eye to in one verse.
