I’m sure you don’t think the Bible contradict itself. Saying “the Word was God”, openly contradicts Jesus’ prayer, where He calls His Father, “the only true God.” But Catholic priest (ie., a trinitarian) and acclaimed scholar John L. McKenzie translates the latter part of John 1:1 (into...

No. “For God loved the world so much that He gave His only-begotten Son….” — John 3:16. Why is this simple truth so hard to accept?

First off, my cousin, when I asked….. You replied correctly… Yes, it is simple. But then, you say…. Shouldn’t you follow Jesus’ example, and worship Who he worshipped? — John 17:3 John 4:23; John 20:17 Solely? — Ex.20:2-6. By the way, Jehovah’s Witnesses do obey Christ as their Savior.

The entire post seems like a word salad. But I’ll try to decipher what you wrote: This one is new to me. At least you’re not saying (as most do): “Jesus said ‘I Am’, so Jesus is saying ‘I’m God!’” You’re right. It is about existence. He was saying He was living before Abraham. But saying...

You think so? Which ones? Because I find just the opposite.

Yes. And? No doubt there are others. But you seem to think it’s from the “JW” perspective where this rendering of John 1:1 began. I’ve shown otherwise. But I ask again (no one seems to want to answer): Who was Jesus’ God?

Many times. Occam’s Razor applies well here. Who was Jesus’ God? Who did he worship? Yes, it is simple. First off, I didn’t say it. A trinitarian Catholic priest said it. You know, in your relatively short reply, you asked 7 questions. Many times I find that, in a debate, when the opposing...

Have you ever read what Catholic priest and highly acclaimed scholar John L. McKenzie, S.J., wrote RE: John 1:1? Keep in mind, this guy was a trinitarian...he had to be, being a Catholic priest...and highly acclaimed as a scholar; yet he wrote regarding John 1:1 in his 'Dictionary of the...

I’d always say hello to you. (Even tho I don’t know you.) You’re my cousin. But why in Heaven?

That’s one of the points I made at our “Christian Ministry” meeting a couple weeks ago. Except I said “misguided”. You know, we all understand that most of the Pharisees were ‘position-seeking’ guys, more interested in show. But Paul was a Pharisee because of his love for Jehovah… and he loved...

Nice post! Well-made points. I appreciate your knowledge of history.

Your stance is no different from the “world”; other religions, in Christendom, in Islam, even atheists, act the same way & propose the same agenda you do. All followers of Christ, we are supposed to be called to a higher standard, and being “not of / no part of” this world as Jesus prayed...

Luxury?!! Tell that to my brothers who are in prison for their neutral stand. But “we must obey God as ruler rather than men.” — Acts 5:29 …there’d be no war. All men would be like Christ while he was on earth. It would be peaceful! God’s blessing would be everywhere.

Did my post shock you, my cousin? (I noticed by your rating.) It’s the truth. And Ms. Mary keeps on, with her unsound, strawman arguments. I don’t intend to be mean, just to teach, which is a form of discipline….and ”to those who have been trained by it (discipline), it yields peaceable fruit...

Thanks for the rating, i appreciate it. Best wishes to you and yours, my cousin.

I never said they weren’t; some are just as guilty as Catholic leadership, as a whole. But JW’s have never gotten involved with warfare. To the dismay of, and persecution by, their respective governments. And yet, despite this, our brotherhood continues to grow. No I got one, thank you.

Oh, now you’re claiming that defense is the reason Catholic leaders encouraged their flocks to engage in war, in support of their respective countries? Fighting and killing other Catholics, from their native lands? History is replete with accounts of Catholicism taking the offense and being the...

Yes, all of the important ones Let’s put it this way: only truth answers our questions correctly. Unfortunately, truth has very narrow parameters! For example, 2+2 = 4 and nothing else. 5, is wrong. Anything else, is wrong. So we have over 30,000 denominations of Christianity, each teaching...

Looks like the Donald!

I wish he was! He’s one of my favorite singers! And his “Blue Hawaii” movie is in my top 20! But if he was alive, he’d be over 85 years old! (Probably couldn’t carry a tune… at least, not as well!) But he’s coming back. That’s what I believe. Take care, my cousin.
