Only the Father is God as explicitly stated in the Bible.

Well, that is really the only point of this thread; are the JW a cult? The poll shows 2:1, the answer is yes. I'm not sure what the 'but' is since POINT #4 of the OP is not about doctrines, heretical or not, beyond your proclamation of what is silliness on steroids. The question is not about...

LOL. I've noticed lately the over-use of the term 'it is clear' when trying to advance a doctrine that goes against explicit teachings in Scripture. In John 17:1-3, Jesus explicitly says the Father is the only true God. Unitarianism affirmed. Verse 4 of Genesis 1 is the 1st explicit words...

Interesting. I wonder what the specifics are to place the denominations along the spectrum shown?

Since Isaiah 9:6 does not refer to Jesus, it is not clear at all that Jesus is mighty God.

I’m glad you asked. There is a self-righteousness in your post, void of love and void of grace. The cult meters out revenge while calling it ‘discipline’ in violation of The Rules For Christian Living: 17 Do not retaliate with evil, regardless of the evil brought against you. Try to do what is...

That you have to respond with multiple long paragraphs shows how you are attempting to skirt the truth presented. He was not allowed to peacefully leave the organization. They not only harassed him, they used his own family to do it! His own parents remain a pawn of the abuse. I don’t think...

Odd how you keep telling me my responsibilities in my thread but you seem to have none.

I did make the context clear. See OP, Point #4.

Try answering questions in their proper context. :cool:

Bob, consider the possibility that you have taken my questions out of context. Someone else mentioned a work based point system as a means of control. It is in this context that my question was made, not to violate POINT #4 of the OP. Thanks!

Rev 1:1 make it clear that Jesus is NOT God; God gave Jesus the revelation. How do you explain that?

It's a foundational point! Thanks. If faith ensured salvation, it would be a work. I recall a sermon years ago that God is not obligated to react according to one's strength of belief. As you said, it is not He who acts per our belief, faith or will but we who must act according to His Will.

Let's stick to the OP topic of whether or not JW is a cult.

Ouch! I wish God's children could show more grace to one another than that. One thing has nothing to do with the other thing. Knocking on doors is works, isn't it?

"Father" is not a being's name but a relationship.

Really? John 8:24 does NOT say Jesus is God and if you do not believe this you cannot be saved; rather, it says to believe he is who says and in Mark 14:61-62, Jesus Big Reveal, that he admits being the Son of God, for which he is crucified. Sad reach.

Jesus died. That’s the biggest change a life form can be subject to.

Where does Scripture say Jesus is God and if you do not believe this you cannot be saved?

You must not understand what it means to mediate between 2 things; it necessarily means you are not one of those 2 things.
