    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    Bible=humans are creatures Bible=humans were created Bible=Jesus is the name of the human messiah Bible=the Father is the only true God I never said that. Amen. I didn't say that. ?? ok. Quite a brazen statement. Since the Bible says men are created and you're saying a man is God, The...

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    That's correct and I haven't said otherwise. Your opinion doesn't kick verses in the Bible. Are you a Christian? They do not. Doesn't say that someone was Jesus though. 1 John 1:1-3 says that in the beginning the Word of Life was a thing. You're having a debate about something that I also...

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    Acts 4:24-27 is sola scripture. It has nothing to do with the watchtower. Thanks for the advice, but no one has denied Jesus. Jesus being a servant of God does not diminish his status as God's servant.

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    Jesus is not the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is another name for the Father. The Father is the only true God (John 17:3), God is holy (1 Peter 1:16), and God is Spirit (John 4:24). Thus the father is holy Spirit. Same name for the same person, not an additional person. Jesus is a human who...

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    In Acts 4:24-27 Jesus isn't God, the Creator, or the Sovereign Lord. John and Peter prayed together referring to Jesus as a servant. They demonstrated they don't believe Jesus is God. That's why Colossians 1:15 refers to Jesus as the "image" of the invisible God. An image is not the original but...

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    Why is pointing that out silly?

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    The Creator in this passage is God. For example, if you will look at verses 8-9, it says the true Light cometh into the world referring to the present tense and John the Baptist was bearing witness of this. John and Jesus were the same age, give or take a few months, making them both...

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    Your interpretation raises more questions than it answers. Why is Jesus not God throughout the New Testament and not the word of God either? That's why I am inclined to seek an alternative interpretation or translation of that. There are many valid interpretations and translations that actually...

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    What do you think happened at Jesus water baptism? In John 1:31, John the Baptist confirms that one of the primary reasons he was water baptizing in the first place was so that the Messiah be revealed by Jesus' own reception of the Holy Spirit. Jesus did not have the Holy Spirit until his water...

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    Sure. In Acts 1, Jesus referred to that as the gift the Father promised. It came from the Father, not Jesus. Acts 1 4And while they were gathered together, He commanded them: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift the Father promised, which you have heard Me discuss. 5For John baptized...

    Amen! What about them though? What do you think they mean?

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    I mean, the Bible doesn't record every time they had to scratch their head or clear their throat. We know it happened even if it wasn't written about. Jesus made a precedent about the Advocate being something he needed to ask God to send. Since Jesus made a precedent out of this, it follows, at...

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    That's correct and Jesus had to ask God to do that. John 14 16And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be with you forever— 17the Spirit of truth. The world cannot receive Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you do know Him, for He abides with you and...

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    I see you are providing your opinion, but not seeing any scripture. I ask because I have already read the Bible and can't find what you're saying. Thanks.

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    Good morning, care you provide any evidence for your claims? Thanks.

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    Neither Jesus nor I created all things. That's the point I am making One was not supposed to get the wrong idea that a human being like Jesus created all things. I am sure Paul did not intend for any person to think that. As Paul pointed out in Colossians 1:15, Jesus isn't the invisible God...

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    The Father is never called the image of God or the exact representation of God. The easiest way to say someone is God is to just come right out and say it, which is something Paul avoiding saying about Jesus on many occasions. In the beginning, did God create or did the image of God create? Do...

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    In most of the Septuagint and New Testament, arche is translated as a beginning point. The odds aren’t in your favor. Revelation 3:14 is compatible with scripture about Jesus being created. He’s a human after all. Decades later they kept calling him a man after he was resurrected and taken to...

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    Elohim, though a plural word, doesn't necessarily refer to a plurality of beings or a compound god. I went over this several posts back, perhaps a few pages ago by now, giving Biblical examples where elohim is used to refer to singular individuals. Matthew 11:25 identifies the Father as the...

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    Same thing applies to regular Christians. Ephesians 3 19of the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
