    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    Being the "God of all flesh" and a"God of flesh" aren't the same things. The Old Testament also says that God isn't a man or a son of man. That means God isn't human, i.e., He isn't flesh. Numbers 23 19God is not a man, that He should lie, or a son of man, that He should change His mind.

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    But Thomas wasn't praised for his attitude of being a doubter. Thomas required visual evidence of Jesus' resurrection to believe it was true. Jesus responded with “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” Which means Thomas wasn't...

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    When angels bowed to Jesus he didn't get any glory according to Scripture. Philippians 2 10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. And in the Bible bowing...

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    What you are using is called an argument from silence, i,e, "The Bible doesn't say Jesus isn't Thomas God therefore it's true." However, with something as important as who God and Jesus are, we should not be be basing our beliefs off of something the Bible doesn't plainly say in favor of...

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    In John 20:17 Jesus defined who his and his brothers' God is by saying He's the Father. That means when Thomas said "my God" in John 20:28 that he's referring to the Father.

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    It's quoted from Psalm 45:6 where in the chapter it's referring to a human king with a queen. God doesn't have a queen and neither does Jesus. In Psalm 45:6, when the author referred to the human king he isn't referring to him as Lord God Almighty. When the author of Hebrews 1 applied this...

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    He didn't say "you" are God. The Greek basically means "the God of me" which according to John 20:17 would be the Father.

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    Bowing down to Jesus isn't in reference to being God. See Philippians 2:10,11 that prove Jesus doesn't get any glory for it. Hebrews 1 also says this in verse 5: 5For to which of the angels did God[YHWH] ever say: “You are My Son;[Jesus] today I have become Your Father”[YHWH] That means Jesus...

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    It should be limited to the church because the Bible repeatedly says Jesus isn't the Sovereign Lord and Creator of heaven and earth. Let's put it like this, if you walked into a donut shop said "I'll have all things." You may get a strange look, but they would undoubtedly know you were wanting...

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    Prove it then. There is nothing in Hebrews 1 about Jesus being God. Like you've been doing? Your talking points have been all over the place. You've gone from Thomas, to worship, to Jesus being resurrected, to YHWH, to talking about hell, to Colossians 1, to using strawman arguments. What's...

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    The scripture does not contradict itself. Jesus was clear about who Thomas' God is and who the only true God is. Paul was generalizing in the context of the church. "All things" or "everything" doesn't often apply to literally every thing. The "by" you keep using is more appropriately...

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    Anyone can quote scripture removed from context. The context is about Thomas' God being the Father. Thomas' God is the same God as Jesus' God. Jesus isn't his own God. Therefore Thomas' God isn't Jesus. John 20 17“Do not cling to Me,” Jesus said, “for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But...

    That only mentions 3 persons. So you couldn't deliver?

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    Not according to scripture. John 20:17 Jesus said their God is the Father. When Thomas said "my God" in John 20:28 he wasn't calling Jesus God. No one in the Bible believed Jesus is God. It doesn't exist. No sir. Colossians 1:15 says Jesus is the "image of the invisible God" therefore Jesus...

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    Oh this should be good. Please show us the scripture that contradicts the Bible's teachings on eternal life given to those who are saved.

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    Jesus said Thomas' God is the Father in John 20:17. Please show us where the word "you" appears in John 20:28 lol Where? Where?

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    Strawman. According to scripture, the gospel is for eternal life. Those with eternal life don't live forever in hell. Sorry, your presentation of your beliefs don't align with scripture.

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    But Thomas' God is the Father according to scripture. The Father is the only true God (John 17:3) and Thomas didn't say "You" are my God. So the context isn't about Jesus being Thomas' God. Jesus didn't say he's God, no one in the Bible believed Jesus is God. Acts 4:24-27, Peter and John both...

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    Who? You believe those in hell receive the gift of eternal life? One of us is indeed not reading the Bible.

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    In John 20:17 Jesus said of his brothers (the disciples) that their God is the Father. Therefore, when Thomas said "my God" in John 20:28 Thomas was referring to the Father, not that Jesus is God.
