capnies: BEING IN THE FORM OF GOD, IS NOT BEING GOD UNDERSTAND THAT.
JESUS SAID ALL POWERS HAS BEEN GIVEN TO ME; WHO GAVE HIM THE POWER IS THE OWNER OF THE POWER.
FOR THE GLORY SET BEFORE HIM, HE ENDURED THE CROSS, WHICH OTHER GLORY DOES GOD NEED.
GOD HAS ALSO HIGHLY EXALTED JESUS: CAN GOD BE EXALTED? TO WHAT?
FOR the fact that false doctrine has been preached for centuries doesn't make it correct.
NONSENSE IS NONSENSE IRRESPECTIVE OF FROM WHOSE LIPS IT COMES FROM. lol🤣 so you now know Jehovah witness organization can spill nonsense nice one. However, they got it right that Jehovah can take different roles and Jehovah can place limitation on himself, that is exactly what Jesus did. Chritiendom has being telling you for ages Jesus is God tlwho took on limitation by taking the humanity. Lol  how can Jesus not be God Almighty when he has the form of God. Colossians 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. Incase you don't know colosians says Jesus has all the attributes of Almighty God in its full extent in him, there is nothing God Almighty Can't do that Jesus can't do. If God Almighty is uncreated so is Jesus, anything God is Jesus is. This is Paul telling You Jesus is the very God not a lesser god or wannabe god but the very God. |

ALSO 1 CORINTHIANS 15:27-38 SAYS AT THE END THE SON WILL COME UNDER THE FATHER , THAT THE FATHER MIGHT BE ALL IN ALL
is that also the beginning? Lol, that same 1 Corinthians answered your question. "He must reign till enemies are put under his feet" Read Hebrews 2 This is about Christ humanity, that was exalt and glorified. Christ became a man for a purpose that is to die and rise again and then reign over all things till he has subjected all things to his father and then he subjected his humanity to the father. |

capnies: STORY FOR THE gods, this was written after Jesus ascending to heaven. YOU DON'T WANT TO UNDERSTAND AND YOU WONT WHAT OF 1 TIMOTHY 2:5 there's only one God and one mediator between God and Men; the man Jesus Christ.
The word AND is a conjunction joining two or more things, meaning that there is God and the is a mediator are they equal? Even that verse answered your question. " The man Christ Jesus" is the mediator between God and man. Jesus is still a man in heaven. Jesus is both man and God, even watchtower teaches that God can take different roles to fulfill his will. |

Jehovah is a coined name by a Catholic mock
While Jesus: It is a Hebrew name which has been transliterated into Greek as Iesous (Ἰησοῦς: pronounced "ee-ay-SUS" . The English "Jesus" comes from the Latin transliteration of the Greek name into the Latin Iesus.
The fact is, watchtower even knows that Yahweh is more accurate than Jehovah 🤣 |

MaxInDHouse: The original Hebrew writing doesn't include the alphabet "J" which means the name Jesus is inappropriate.
Do you agree?  But we Christians don't see it as a big deal. Call Jesus, yeshua or lesus, or Jesu, it does not mean. The only name given for men to be saved is Jesus not Jehovah or yahweh. |

MaxInDHouse: “The first is, ‘Hear, O Israel, JEHOVAH our God is one JEHOVAH" Mark 12:29
Here Jesus quoted Deuteronomy 6:4
“Listen, O Israel: JEHOVAH our God is one JEHOVAH"
If that name doesn't appear in your own copy of the Bible it simply means the translators have replaced God's name with the title "THE LORD"  That was Jesus quoting the old testament scripture, not that he personally used the name in his prayer or teachings to his disciples. By the way the original translation is not Jehoavh it is YWYH which would be closer to yahweh not Jehovah. |

Busybrain2233: Please answer my questions: You said Almighty God created medicine mention the medicine God created.
Does this makes Matt7:7 invalid? Perhaps God would be like; I having given you guys all you need for any illness, so I won't grant any of your wish pertaining healing/sound health.
The materials to make drugs are made by humans.
God knows man would fall and he went ahead to create man that way, then later God would blame and punish man for falling. I know it makes sense to you cause you are a religious person.
Herbs are examples of medicines how really mention what humans ever created? So because God said I would bless you it means you don't need to work again? So what are herbs for? The earth and everything in it belongs to God psalm 24. Man do not create anything thyme discover them, it has always being there. So if astronomers knew an meteor is heading the earth it means they are the cause? You are responsible for your actions good or bad, God knowing what you will do has nothing to do with your actions. |

[32]Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? [33]The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.

Genesis 1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

Jehovah witness organization has Just confirmed that Jesus is Almighty God, how. Jesus is the one that placed limitation on himself.  Jesus had same nature with the father but he placed a limitation on himself. Philippians 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: Jesus placed the limitation on himself to become a servant that is why he said the father is greater than him. Micheal clown and co thinks that since Jesus limited himself he can not be God at the same time, we can also say that since Jehovah placed limitation on himself he ceases to be God.  |

Michael547: So Jesus limited himself not to know the hour of judgment right? So Jesus who was also equal to the father in heaven was also commanded to come to earth According to Jesus himself in John 12:49. This same Jesus who is Almighty God on earth still says his father is greater than him. Ok oo....you are making sense. Ride on. 🤣 sharap there, According to jw.org Jehovah is personally limited to heaven alone. Your organization teaches that Jehovah is limited spatially to only a section in heaven. https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/questions/god-omnipresent/Your organisation teaches that Jehovah is Adaptable. See a snippet of jw.org [b] Jehovah—The Most Adaptable Being in the Universe
4. (a) In what way does Jehovah’s very name reveal him to be an adaptable God? (b) What are some of the titles applied to Jehovah God, and why are they fitting?
4 Jehovah’s very name implies his adaptability. “Jehovah” literally means “He Causes to Become.” This evidently means that Jehovah causes himself to become the Fulfiller of all his promises. When Moses asked God his name, Jehovah elaborated on its meaning in this way: “I shall prove to be what I shall prove to be.” (Exodus 3:14) Rotherham’s translation pointedly puts it: “I Will Become whatsoever I please.” Jehovah proves to be, or chooses to become, whatever is needed to fulfill his righteous purposes and promises. Thus, he bears an impressive array of titles, such as Creator, Father, Sovereign Lord, Shepherd, Jehovah of armies, Hearer of prayer, Judge, Grand Instructor, Repurchaser. He has caused himself to become all of these and more in order to carry out his loving purposes.—Isaiah 8:13; 30:20; 40:28; 41:14; Psalm 23:1; 65:2; 73:28; 89:26; Judges 11:27; see also New World Translation, Appendix 1J.
5. Why should we not conclude that Jehovah’s adaptability implies that his nature or standards change?
5 Does this mean, then, that God’s nature or standards change? No; as James 1:17 puts it, “with him there is not a variation of the turning of the shadow.” Is there a contradiction here? Not at all. For example, what loving parent does not shift roles to benefit the children? In the course of a single day, a parent may be a counselor, a cook, a housekeeper, a teacher, a disciplinarian, a friend, a mechanic, a nurse—the list goes on and on. The parent does not change personality when assuming these roles; he or she simply adapts to current needs. So it is with Jehovah but on a far grander scale. There is no limit to what he can cause himself to become to benefit his creatures. The depth of his wisdom is staggering indeed!—Romans 11:33.[/b] https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1994563#h=10 At colored green your organistion teaches that jehovah takes different roles to fulfill his will. 🤣🤣😂 They even said takes on different roles as the need arises, guess whose needs? Human beings, meaning human nature can make God take different roles. Now in in your own words Micheal how come Almighty God takes different roles because of humans? They teach that Jehovah changes hid decision because of man, and that Jehovah is not rigid concerning his authority. https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1994563#h=10Another bomb shell!!!!! Jehovah can indeed place limitation on himselfIs God not wonderful? Modesty, as used in the Scriptures, suggests a proper awareness of one’s own limitations. ... The Almighty has no limitations except for those he imposes upon himself because of his own righteous standards. (Mark 10:27; Titus 1:2) https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/s/r1/lp-e?q=Limitations&fc%5B%5D=bk&p=par&r=occ Hahahaha hiohiohio. Who is the confused one now ehen |

How is that The same thing with Jesus clearly saying that the father in heaven is greater than him. And this same Almighty Jesus Also said he did not know the hour of Judgment. Does that not show that just like the angel, Jesus too was lesser to God? Have you forgotten what you wrote just now? At bold How come the nature of man was so powerful that it impeded the full power of the nature of the Almighty God in Christ? 😂When the angel could not do anything was it lot that impeded him? You can't see your poopoo, you said it was God that would not allow him, meaning God limited the angel not lot, I have told you that it is Jesus that limited himself to his humanity. 🤣When Jesus submitted himself to be killed by men does that mean they were greater than him? |

HOW DO EXPLAIN 1 CORINTHIANS 11:3 THAT SAY THE HEAD OF CHRIST IS GOD what is the problem of 1cor 11 vv 3since Jesus became a man his father became his God. When a Son works for his father, his father becomes his employer that does not mean he is no longer a Son. When Jesus became man his father became his God that does not mean he is no longer God, the Father himself called Jesus God. Hebrews 1:8 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. |

Genesis 19:22 clearly showed that the angel was less powerful than God who was bringing the destruction and not lot. So when Jesus said the father was greater than himself, does that not pass a message?
So who is the fool now? 🤣🤣 What is this one saying? Go back and read what you wrote you are arguing with yourself. 🤣 it is not about God the angel said that he cannot do anything (a limitation) except lot is sheltered, so according to you lot is greater than the angel? Jehovah witness confusion. |

Does that make sense? How come the nature of man was so powerful that it impeded the full power of the nature of the Almighty God in Christ? You are a fool, how can the human nature be more powerful. Jesus called himself the 'I AM' a name which only Almighty God bear. So going by your logic when the angel of The Lord told lot that he cannot do anything until lot has gone to shelter in other city, it means lot was more powerful than the angel. Genesis 19:22 Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do anything till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar. 🤣 |

He had two natures the nature of God and man at all times but however, he limited himself to his humanity. The fact that he limited himself to his humanity doesn't mean he is not God Almighty.

As clarified above, I guess you understand my point now.
Of course they don't know their actions is leading to the fulfillment of God's plan even when it is written in the scriptures they are using against Jesus. I don't disagree with you I only pointed out what they thought they were doing, they thought they were eliminating a threat. And again christ was their enemy because he exposed their evil works so they wanted to eliminate him the more. Human being might think they are protecting themselves by taking a position against God but end up destroying themselves that was the case of the jews that killed christ. |

The Jewish leaders then knew exactly what they were doing using God's Word to counter Jesus Christ. Jesus only correct their misunderstanding of God's word where the they wrongly apply it.
The Temple and the City were still destroyed when Jesus was not there. No, I am not excusing it, actually they really do not know what they were doing. That is why Jesus prayed saying his father should forgive them because they don't know what they were doing. Paul also said the Jewish nation were blinded, and also had they knew hey won't have crucified the Lord. Their blindness is from Moses law written for them, they were not truly keeping the law as they ought to, hence became blinded by false righteousness they thought they had. |

If I may ask you, why did the Jews, I spite of the works that he did sought to and eventually kill Jesus? The Jewish leaders saw Jesus as a threat to them. Jesus was gaining more and more popularity and hence they taught that one day Jesus could easily declare himself king stage an insurrection if this happens the romans would come and destroy their temple and city, they would lose their position and be decimated.
