Preciousgirl: From your statement Stephen was praying to God, The Most High and Father of All Through The Lord, Jesus Christ, Exactly in Fulfillment of the Word of The Lord where He said "...No man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (Or as we say today "but through me". Your header was given me conflicting information as though you were attempting to correct that some people pray to The Lord instead of God! |

Janosky: See the Hypocrite JaNosense Imagine, talking about FRAUDULENT INSERTION when your own translation fraudulently inserted the word "OTHER" many times which can't be found in the original Greek or any MSS. Why didn't you screenshot the FULL part of Barnes Note? You intentionally removed the part that exposed your organization lies. Well this is the part your intentionally ommited. "Calling upon God - The word God is not in the original, and should not have been in the translation. It is in none of the ancient mss. or versions. It should have been rendered, "They stoned Stephen, invoking, or calling upon, and saying, Lord Jesus," etc. That is, he was engaged "in prayer" to the Lord Jesus. The word is used to express "prayer" in the following, among other places: 2 Corinthians 1:23, "I call God to witness"; 1 Peter 1:17, "And if ye call on the Father," etc.; Acts 2:21, "whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord," etc.; Acts 9:14; Acts 22:16; Romans 10:12-14. This was, therefore, an act of worship; a solemn invocation of the Lord Jesus, in the most interesting circumstances in which a man can be placed - in his dying moments." ----ALBERT BARNES NOTE 1 Like |

Emusan: Albert Barnes 2nd quote is FALSEHOOD. Greek 1941 in Acts 25:11,12,25 , in Acts7:59, according to Emusan LIENUS & Albert Barnes , Paul is praying to Roman emperors Mr LIENUS, is the first born of every child, still a child? Jesus the first born of every creature is himself a creature, he came through his Father. Romans 11:35-36 immutable. Colossians 1:16, JWs are correct joor. John 20:17, Jesus answered:"I am ascending to my God and your God" Mathew6:9 "You MUST pray this way: Our Father who art in heaven" Mr LIENUS, go figure the meaning of MUST... Colossians 1:3 "We ALWAYS THANK GOD, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ." Ephesians 3:14-21,Bros, go and learn to RECEIVE SENSE .STEPHEN did NOT, was NOT praying to Jesus. Paul and Jesus confirmed you 3 pagan spirits devotees are LIARS. :[/b]D [b]Mr LIENUS, Romans 10:13 is quote of Joel 2:32, "anyone who calls on the name of Yahweh", is Jesus his Father Yahweh he prayed to ? Your Almighty God wey dey obey Command: "Sit at my right hand " Bible confirmed your Almighty God get him God and Father in heaven. Even your Almighty God Jesus confirmed himself get him God in heaven, "my God,my God why have you forsaken us?" |

freshboi88:Greek 1941,EPIKALEO, "call upon, Appeal or Address" does NOT mean praying to Jesus. (Biblehub Screenshot Evidence) Greek 1941 is the same meaning in Acts 25:11,12 & 25. 7:59, you are publicly LYING that Paul prayed to Roman emperors. LYING clown Matthew 6:9 & Colossians 1:3, the Bible truth according to Jesus & Paul. In your Bible show us where Jesus Christ prayed to himself, or just jakpa shepaly.

Stephen's eyes were open to see Jehovah and Jesus standing by the right hand of side of God's throne {Act 7:55-56} surely between the two persons he was seeing Stephen could relate with the person he knew face to face than the one no man can see! Exodus 33:20 Stephen knew for sure that the power or energy for all the dead to return back to life (spirit) has been given to Jesus, so he spoke directly to Jesus. But regarding prayer Jesus taught them to pray to his father who is their father and his God who is their God JEHOVAH! John 20:17 2 Likes |

freshboi88: Where was Jesus situated in Stephen's vision? He was at the right hand of who? Acts 7:56 Who gave Jesus authority? Matthew 28:18, John 5:22 Who gave Jesus keys and access to the Grave? Revelation 1:18 Stephen: “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit[breath of life]” Acts 7:59 Greek ‘pneuma’ It was only normal that Stephen made that appeal to Jesus in the presence of his God, Jehovah because he knew that it was Jesus who would later resurrect those anointed of God's holy spirit since that authority was bestowed on Jesus by Jehovah God. Read 1Thessalonians 4:16-17 |

freshboi88: Jehovah is the source of life. Psalm 36:9, Acts 17:28 He's the originator of the spark of life that makes a human conscious. Genesis 2:7 He is also the Eternal Judge and our Father. Genesis 18:25, Isaiah 33:22, James 4:12 But—Jesus helps us to understand at John 5:22 that his Father and God, Jehovah will do no judging but that authority has been delegated to him, Jesus. So when Jesus completed his earthly conquest, he said: “All authority has been given me in heaven and earth” Matthew 28:18, see also Philippians 2:9-11 Which means that as Jehovah's subordinate and Servant(Acts 3:13), Jesus is going to rule, judge and act under God's authority because according to him, he cannot do a single thing of his own initiative so he needs a go-ahead from Jehovah before he can do anything. John 8:28 Also part of the privileges granted to him, was the authority to raise dead ones from the Grave. In fact—while on earth—you can agree that he demonstrated this by restoring the life-force of some who died to their bodies ONLY after praying to his God in heaven. John 11:41-42 So he still has the prerogative as God's Son to rise dead ones in the future. John 5:28-29; 1Thessalonians 4:16 Since Jehovah was the one who gave the keys of death and Grave to Jesus in order to release those who are bound by death. Revelation 1:18 That's why Stephen made that appeal to Jesus for a resurrection in the sight of Jehovah.(Acts 7:59) 3 Likes 3 Shares |

Jesus served as God just as Moses also served {Exodus 7:1 compared to John 1:1} JEHOVAH is the one who went down to deliver the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. But both Pharaoh, his chiefs, Egyptians and all Israelites were seeing Jehovah's representative MOSES. ©Who turned the rod to snake? ©Who turned River Nile's water to blood? ©Who plagued Egypt ten times? ©Who splitted the red Sea? Well it was JEHOVAH not Moses! Exodus 20:2 compared to John 8:28 So when JEHOVAH bestowed power on Jesus it doesn't make Jesus the Almighty because the true God will forever keep his place and position while his representatives return to their place/position! 1Corinthians 15:27-28 freshboi88: 2 Likes |

What usually confuse misinformed Churchgoers is their so called Trinity dogma. JWs know that Jesus was the person who created everything {Colossians 1:15-16} but he was acting on the instructions from our grand Creator JEHOVAH! As a master Craftsman beside his God and Father {Proverbs 8:22-31} Jesus was receiving instructions on how to go about the work, we can see this at Genesis 1:1-2, there it was revealed that God's instructions to create the heavens (spirit realm) where his spirit sons (angels) dwells wasn't difficult for Jesus who is also a spirit but when it comes to the creation of physical realms Jesus need to be guided, that's why you'll notice @ Genesis 1:3 that God was given the instructions and after Jesus has done it God still inspects the job! Genesis 1:4,31 So we acknowledge the part Jesus (God's only begotten son) played in all God's work but he is not the Almighty God! 1 Like 1 Share |
