1973. I watched this video less than an hour ago. Thought you might enjoy watching Christopher Walken dancing to it.

Did Jesus worship anyone or anything?

Thanks. I wouldn’t have.

That’s right. If he had been the one, would you say to him what you said to me? Technically, with putting his words, his position, in Jesus’ mouth. Not necessarily. Had I put what I think about Enoch111 and his theology in Jesus’ mouth then I would be just as guilty of doing what he did...

No. As I mentioned to Aunty Jane, I wouldn’t demand (or require) anyone to believe what I believe, even if I had the power to do so. I think it’s reasonable that a person who has a God would reply that he worships his God. Those who don’t are free to do so. I hope that clears up any...

Your thoughts, if any, concerning why you think I choose to read them. My best friend in Junior High School was a JW. I’ve long since lost contact with him but still to this day I have several of the JW publications he gave me in my personal library. He was kind, gentle, and approachable about...

I’ve just read and responded to a post from someone who believes that I’ve demanded that members of the forum must believe my opinions. I haven’t, and the thought never entered my mind. Even if I could do it, I wouldn’t. I appreciate that you’ve characterized my post to you as containing a...

I haven’t made any demands. I’ve asked what Jesus would say in response to a particular question and I’ve received an opinion from one person, which I rejected. I’ve suggested that Jesus would answer the question by saying that he worshipped his God. That suggestion was rejected by the person...

I don’t know the history between you and @Nancy but her post that begins this thread sounds sincere to me. It strikes me, a third party who is in neither her theological camp nor yours, that she has presented specific passages of scripture which she currently sees (and may or may not always see)...

“Now would it not be the height of absurdity if God worshipped God?” It sounds to me that you believe that it would. IF it can be shown in scripture that Jesus of Nazareth worshipped God, would you be able to acknowledge that what you believe is “the height of absurdity”? IF you were able to...

Who has a God and doesn’t worship him? Your answer either denies that Jesus has a God or acknowledges that he does but denies that he worships him.

That’s not the answer he would give in response to the question he was asked. That’s your answer, placed in his mouth. Jesus would answer that he worshipped his God.

Your quotation of what Jesus said in that scripture to, and about, his God reminded me of something I read. “God is not just any deity but a distinct divine person. … ‘Yahweh (or Yahweh of hosts) is his name.’ There is encounter here with the definite person of God.” (Theological Dictionary of...

God bless America… and England, and Russia, and China, and Egypt and Israel too. God bless all nations. “Yahweh is good to all. His tender mercies are over all his works.” (Psalm 145:9, WEB) “But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and...

Thank you. @Nancy wants to hear from JW’s in this thread. I’m not a JW. I extend my apologies to her if my post hinders JW’s from responding or takes her thread off topic. I think it’s important to hear from the JW’s and to compare their answer(s) with what Jesus would say if he were asked the...

What would Jesus of Nazareth say if we were to put the question to him? “Who do you worship, Jesus?”

“Humanity, in general, is averse to killing another individual. ‘Dehumanizing’ the enemy is the basis of military training.” Learning to Kill / Combat Training – UPDATED 1. Is this true? 2. Does Jesus teach us, his disciples, his followers, to “dehumanize” the enemy?

“In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.” (Matthew 7:12) For a person (as opposed to a nation) who lives by this teaching of the Messiah, do the wars of the nations temporarily suspend or supersede his teaching...
