What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

[Mr E]

Another JW?

Should I send you a label maker? Does it help you if you can stick a label on?

No, I'm not JW. But I'm curious-- if you can pin the tail on does that somehow strengthen your arguments? In your mind?

Try building a case rather than tearing down a person. That's a sign of immaturity.

 

[Peterlag]

The BODY which is many members only partakes on an individual level of the fullness of GOD .
YET JESUS HIMSELF as AN INDIVUDUAL was and is THE FULLNESS of GOD . GO ye and learn what that means .
NOT any one individual has all gifts , The fullness of GOD is spread out amonst the believers . JESUS IS the fullness of GOD
by which we partake . Your point failed my friend . While JESUS is the WORD OF GOD and GOD HIS WORD
and while i do partake of HIM , that dont make me THE VERY WORD OF GOD , it simply means i am IN THE WORD OF GOD
cause i am IN CHRIST . Does that make a wee bit more sense to ya . Its like a man trying to say HE IS CHRIST
just because HE is christain . DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE . NOPE . NOR Does me saying i am the FULLNESS OF GOD
just cause i partake of JESUS WHO IS THE FULLNESS OF GOD . Hope that helps .

You lost me. Can you tell me why Jesus has to be God? What profit is it?

Jesus didn't have a soul, He is part of the Spirit

Why would you consider that me asking if you are JW is an insult?

 

[Mr E]

What does my soul have to do with being in a Spirit, a soul in a Spirit.

I've never heard if someone saying Holy Soul

You said:

You can't do that either, Jesus is in the Father and the Father is in Jesus they are One not separate.

I took that to mean that you think the criteria for being God is being in the Father and having the Father in you. Jesus prayed for that to be the case for all believers. That doesn't make believers God.

 

[Mr E]

Why would you consider that me asking if you are JW is an insult?

It's certainly no insult to me. My question was about your question. Does it help you to stick a label on a person?

He was talking about just His spirit and God spirit are one, Jesus was the only human without a soul.

Human believers have souls

 

[Mr E]

Wow! A soul-less Jesus. That's a new twist. Have fun with it. I know I will.

I didn't make up "JW". Are you defending the WatchTower? Anyone who defends the WatchTower attack on the Christian Bible is in the same boat to "everlasting fire" that Jesus taught His children.

 

[BeyondET]

Wow! A soul-less Jesus. That's a new twist. Have fun with it. I know I will.

Indeed Jesus is a Spirit he wasn't spiritless.

Is there a differents between soul and spirit?

 

[RLT63]

Some people recognize the power and spirit of God in him and do as he instructed us to do.

‘YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD AND SERVE HIM ONLY.’”

He never corrected the people who worshipped him.

 

[Mr E]

Indeed Jesus is a Spirit he wasn't spiritless.

Is there a differents between soul and spirit?

YES! -but that's covered in other threads.

Jesus was the only human without a soul.

Jesus said--

“My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death; remain here and keep watch with Me.”

 

[Jack]

He never corrected the people who worshipped him.

And that is a VERY important FACT! Jesus is God and received worship. If Jesus wasn't God He would SEVERELY rebuke someone who worshiped Him! That's why Jesus didn't rebuke Thomas for saying to Him, "My Lord and my God"!

 

[Mr E]

He never corrected the people who worshipped him.

We can look at any examples you might provide, but let me ask-- cultures aside, do you worship (as God) anyone you bow toward, or kiss?

 

[BeyondET]

YES! -but that's covered in other threads.

Jesus said--

“My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death; remain here and keep watch with Me.”

That was used abstractly, not as literally
soul
ψυχή (psychē)

 

[RLT63]

Now you're going to tell me all the scholars who translated the various versions of the Bible used the wrong word for worship.

 

[Jack]

Exactly! That's what the WatchTower does, constantly attack our Bible!

 

[RLT63]

I provided a list of all the examples just in Matthew on another thread but somehow all the scholars who translated the many versions of the Bible got that word wrong according to your friends.

 

[VictoryinJesus]

Ok I surrender. You win. But for me …what is produced from Christ being God is,
I guess, I prefer to think that when in the OT God said “I will do it”…that He did it. Likely I won’t change your mind, and you won’t change mine.

Gotta wonder while disputing what is produced by Christ being God…I’m left asking: what is produced by this thread.

Isaiah 9
6 For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Amen! That's Jesus, MIGHTY GOD! Now watch JW's try to rewrite it to mean something totally different like Satan loves to do.
