The Characteristics Of The True God by KNOWMORE56: 1:02am On Feb 08, 2021
The best and simple way to know anything
genuine is to consider and take note of all it's detail characteristics.

But the infinite God can never be completely known in all ramifications.

Notwithstanding, He has not hid Himself, just that the human mind is too small to accommodate Him.

My Jesus is one million times better than them all.

Will you have Him?

*. One of the laws in mathematics says if 1(one) is multiplied by itself it remains the same, i.e 1×1×1= 1.

John 16:28 "I CAME FORTH from the Father..."

In my understanding He is saying " I multiplied/increased/project from the Father"

The 1st one(1) is one, 2nd one(1) is one and the 3rd one(1) is one. the same
Whatever description you give to any of them, the same is true for the rest.

This is the law that qualifies Jesus as the true God!

Let's see some of the qualities of the true God:

1. Creator
2. Power
3. Omniscient
4. Everlasting
5. Receiving worship
6. Judge of all
7. Love
8. Life

...
1. FATHER/SON IS THE CREATOR OF ALL THINGS:

*. Isaiah 45:5-7 "KJV:I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
6
KJV:That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else.
7
KJV:I FORM the light, and CREATE darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.

*. Isaiah 45:12 "
KJV:I have MADE the earth, and CREATED man upon it: I, even MY HANDS, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded. ( i.e the Father)
...
Re: The Characteristics Of The True God by KNOWMORE56: 1:26am On Feb 08, 2021
...

*. Jeremiah 27: 5 "KJV:I HAVE MADE the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me. ( i.e the Father)

*. John 1:3 "KJV: ALL THINGS were MADE BY HIM; and without him was not any thing MADE that was made. ( i.e the Son)

*. Colossians 1:16 "KJV:For by him were ALL THINGS CREATED, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: ALL THINGS were CREATED by him, and FOR HIM ( i.e the Son)...
Re: The Characteristics Of The True God by KNOWMORE56: 1:29am On Feb 08, 2021
....
*. Romans 11:36 "KJV:For of him, and through him, and to him, ARE ALL THINGS: to whom be glory for ever. Amen. (i.e the Son)

NOTE! God said He created all things with His own hands, see Isaiah 45:12.

2. These things were created by Himself and for Himself.
For His own pleasure they are and were created, see Colossians 1:16, Revelation 4:11

3. " of Him" means that the things used belongs to Him (the Son) Romans 11:36.

For the fact that Jesus possesses all the qualities of the true God, He's the true God.

The bolded clearly defines the God you choose to worship, definitely each worshiper of your God will have to pick whatever he/she is able to grasp and start building his/her own understanding of your mysterious God.
I think that's the one and only beef you have for Jehovah's Witnesses, because our own God has blessed us with a small group of wise men just like the Apostles of Christ in the first century, this men he (God) is using as Shepherds to guide his sheep so that we all have the same line of thought about him {John 17:22 compare to 1Corinthians 1:10} that is why all those who want to worship our own God must come under the same umbrella or roof of this foundation.
So next time when you're about to speak against JWs remember that our own God differs from yours who cannot be understood.
JEHOVAH has made himself known to the born again Christians in our midst so they're the ones taking the lead in TEACHING us exactly what JEHOVAH wants us to do so that his people could be well organized in an orderly manner! 1Corinthians 14:33, 40

Thanks! smiley

What are the distinguishing characteristics of this your Jehovah.

My beef with you guys is that you have the Word in your Hands and in your Heads but the Watch tower in your Hearts.

But Heaven bound Christians have the Word in their Hands, in their Heads and in their Hearts.

That is tripple H, just like the Trinity: Father,Son and Spirit.

The Watch tower occupying your Heart is the confusion you are having.

He is a covenant keeping God!

All his worshipers understood the covenant that binds us as ONE from JEHOVAH, his only begotten SON and the entire global family of his worshipers {John 17:22} so we all submit to this arrangement. Hebrew 13:7,17
The written words (Bible) is the main guidebook {John 17:17} those taking the lead serves as Apostles (overseers) {Ephesians 4:12) they're the organizers and all worshipers are in total submission to them. So everything is well organized in an orderly manner! 1Corinthians 14:33, 40
To JEHOVAH whoever turn against this arrangement is no more part of his organized people {John 15:1-10} so such a person is ON HIS OWN! Luke 11:23

That's why Jesus sent us out in search of individuals who will be interested in this arrangement, he calls them the "lost sheep of the house of Israel" Matthew 10:6

Thanks! smiley

For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? and I WILL NOT GIVE MY GLORY unto ANOTHER.

Jesus is not another, except if say God is lying to me.

b). To his name every knee shall bow

Hebrews 6:13
KJV:For when God made promise to Abraham, BECAUSE HE COULD SWEAR BY NO GREATER, he sware by HIMSELF,

c). God cannot lie

Hebrews 6:18"KJV:That by two immutable things, in which IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD TO LIE, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us.

If Jesus is another...then God has told us a lie.

A covenant is something binding two, three or more persons in an agreement with a powerful God, king or leader {Exodus 19:5 compare to Jeremiah 31:31-34; John 17:22} so all those involved in a covenant must speak in agreement {Romans 15:5-6;1Corinthians 1:10; 2Corinthians 13:11} they are binded together by unshakable LOVE {John 13:34-35} those outside the covenant will know that these people are in a covenant with a supreme spirit being! Matthew 5:13-16

Note:
Jesus says I AM HE THAT LIVETH FOR EVER MORE.

In revelation 4:9-11 it's Jesus, God the Son. How do I know?

Jesus (in His office as human being) died.
His death on the cross is one of the reasons He is worthy 'to receive glory and honour and power'.

The concept of Trinity seems to elude most Christians.
There's the God Head, the Supreme being.
Then God the Son, that came to die for man to have eternal life.
Then God the Holyspirit, the Helper, Convicter, etc.

These 3 are different entities but bear witness as one. Meaning they agree on all matters.

They are not the same 1 person. Otherwise it would be wrong for God to say Let "US" create man in OUR image and likeness.

Also it makes no sense that Stephen would see Jesus Christ seated on the right hand on God.

It makes no sense that John in Revelation also saw God and Jesus as 2 separate entities.

Re: The Characteristics Of The True God by KNOWMORE56: 5:01pm On Feb 09, 2021

NOTE, He (Jesus) said ONLY the Lord your God you will serve,
consider the emphasis on the word ONLY, i.e no other one should be served.

He then said all the people serving Him (Jesus) the Father will honour them.

If anyone serves Jesus, he's not serving idol. And they are not serving another God...

He didn't use the word God in that place but Father.

Because He (Jesus) had assumed His office as God in that verse.

He said ONLY God you have to serve, and said afterward SERVE ME.

In other words He is saying I AM THE LORD THY GOD whom only you shall serve....
