A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

[MonoBiblical]

Translation: The Bible doesn't mean what it says!

No, your translation is bad. Thomas said to him, "My lord, and My God..." Greek doesn't entirely [render] as the English, especially when the English is an abuse of English grammar.

 

[Jack]

No, your translation is bad. Thomas said to him, "My lord, and My God..." Greek doesn't perform the same as english.

Then why do our English Bibles say you're WRONG?

 

[MonoBiblical]

Possibly a smear to discredit him or muddy the waters. Hard to say, but as far as I can tell there is nothing Valentinus said or taught in any of his surviving works.

Valentinus was a gnostic and a Cerinthus which Polycarp opposed. He had a vision about a baby that claimed to be a god the word.

 

[MonoBiblical]

Then why does our English Bibles say you're WRONG?

They don't. You just want it to mean my lord and God, not my lord and my God.

 

[MonoBiblical]

BINGO!!! And guess Who's Name they baptized in. Not the Father. Not the HS. Jesus!!!

Emmanuel, the God is with us, if there is one name. But there is the reputation of the father, son, and holy spirit.

Do you read your own posts? lol

 

[MonoBiblical]

You said modern bibles.

 

[Jack]

Your opinion noted and rejected. How about some Bible?

 

[Jack]

You said modern bibles.

I've read MANY and they all say you're WRONG.

 

[MonoBiblical]

I've read MANY and they all say you're WRONG.

I am not wrong about that verse.

 

[MonoBiblical]

Your opinion noted and rejected. How about some Bible?

The verse talks about a name or 3, not a trinity.

 

[Jack]

I am not wrong about that verse.

All our Bibles declare Jesus is God!

 

[MonoBiblical]

Your opinion noted and rejected. How about some Bible?

τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ πατρὸς καὶ τοῦ υἱοῦ καὶ τοῦ ἁγίου πνεύματος

In Greek, a name can be a noun.

 

[Jack]

τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ πατρὸς καὶ τοῦ υἱοῦ καὶ τοῦ ἁγίου πνεύματος

Smokescreen!

 

[MonoBiblical]

All our Bibles declare Jesus is God!

You have much invested in idolatry.

 

[MonoBiblical]

Smokescreen!

Amateur

 

[Jack]

You have much invested idolatry.

You sound like JW.

 

[MonoBiblical]

You sound like JW.

They have much invested in socialism.

 

[Behold]

Valentinus was a gnostic

He is the Father of Gnosticism..

And, He almost became a POPE.

 

[Rella ~ I am a woman]

Thomas was speaking directly to Jesus. He called Jesus God! Which agrees with many other Scriptures.

Peshitta 28And Thomas answered and said to him, “My Lord, and my God.” 29Yeshua said to him, “Now that you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen me and have believed.”
