    There is nothing new under the sun. I am sure that has literally happened somewhere. :Laughingoutloud:

    all of that and then made their own Bible called the Queen James Bible to further enable them. Yes, it's been edited.

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    Yes I understand what you mean. There are a lot of things said in Christianity that sound religious, sound good, but ultimately are misleading. First thing that comes to my mind is "Come as you are..." but the part they leave off is "...but don't stay as you are." While many are called, few are...

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    Jesus isn't the LORD (YHWH) though. So calling on Jesus isn't equal to calling on the LORD. Here are some examples below that clarify this. Compare Psalm 2:7 to Hebrews 1:5. The LORD/Father speaking to the Son in Psalm 2:7 is God speaking to the Son in Hebrews Hebrews 1:5. Psalm 2 7I will...

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    I got my number from the Center for the Study of Global Christianity of the Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary. According to their FAQ page, they define a denomination like this: "The most detailed level of our taxonomy of global Christianity is Christian denominations, defined as an organized...

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    I see that you, too, have discovered that many people hate the truth even though they are often not overt about it. It's often when sin is exposed that they raise issue. Rather than have any sort of Holy Spirit conviction and repent, they want to justify themselves and project blame back onto...

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    No problems here, but we should respect the fact that Jesus got his way, truth, and life from his God and Father. The gift of eternal life, the gospel, etc all originate from the Father. This isn't a quote in the Bible.

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    Jesus isn't a cultist. John 4 and Jesus' explicit directives to worship the Father only is orthodox Christianity, at least it was in the beginning. That's why you didn't quote anything to the contrary because nothing else exists. lol

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    It is refreshing to see someone such as yourself with such conviction and awareness of the fact that there is indeed an infection within what is commonly referred to as the church. According to some studies, there is a combination of approximately 45,000 Christian denominations...

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    Isaiah 28 proves that the cornerstone isn't YHWH. Isaiah 28 16So this is what the Lord GOD says: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; the one who believes will never be shaken.

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    According to John 3:16,17 God sent Jesus so that God could save through Jesus. With something as important as the gospel, we should be careful how we present this, especially publicly, where seekers or those looking for a Biblically accurate presentation of the gospel may be. John 3 16For God...

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    Jesus taught the True Worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth. No one ever taught about worshipping Jesus is spirit and truth nor did God give that as a command to the church. John 4 23But a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in...

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    Paul said God is eternal, immortal, and invisible and that He is the only God. Since those are what God is, then that isn't Jesus. God is eternal, yet Jesus was created. For God alone possesses immortality, yet Jesus died and was resurrected by God. God is invisible, yet Jesus is the "image of...

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    When Jesus is bowed to by someone whether they be in heaven, earth, or under earth then Jesus doesn't get any glory for that. All of the glory goes solely and exclusively to God. The only true God is the Father. Philippians 2 10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on...

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    There is no part to leave out. What you're saying, though worded slightly different than the scripture, is enough to change the meaning of what Colossians 1:16 says entirely. Take another look at it God created "through" Jesus. The entire context of this passage refers to the instrumentality of...

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    God is always God. If God can be demonstrated to not be God then He wouldn't be God would He? So what's your workaround for all of the scriptures that disprove your assertions?

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    Other versions of the Bible than your preferred one aren't just a book. I think you're just demonstrating contempt for the Scriptures you disagree with.

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    One God the Father from whom "ALL" things came. That means all things didn't come from Jesus and he isn't the Creator. Jesus is the "image" of the invisible God. The only God is the Invisible God. I hope that clears it up. 1 Corinthians 8 6yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom...

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    I suspect you have some theological horse in this race and you require John 4:24 be translated differently than how the vast majority of translators have rendered it. No need to split hairs over it. Care you explain why this point is so important to you?

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    Seems you use a version that side-steps the Greek of 1 John ,1 where the Word of Life is an it, and instead calls the Word of Life a he. Check out practically any other version because the "Easy-To-Read" version is misleading on this verse even though other times I have found it's ok on other...
