Well the one and only issue Jesus had with the religious leaders of his time is telling them nobody can see God except through him {John 14:6} so if you're expecting his true followers to say otherwise then i'm afraid you don't know Jesus! John 15:19 We are not saying we are the only good people in the world, of course there are good people in all the religions on this planet but when it comes to the one and only group that knows how to practice pure worship then there's no other than JWs. That's what we are saying! Remember that during the time God chose the nation of Israel there are good people in all other lands but the one and only nation that knows the only true God is Israel. So even if there are nice and kind people like TB Joshua trying to practice Christianity the best way they feel their form of worship is unacceptable to God because it can't produce the FRUIT. You've been trying to falsify TB Joshua's ministry but if you can't explain how the FRUIT works then your continuous criticism against that man's church is HYPOCRITICAL! ![]() Image123: |

haddeylium: Firstly. This isnt the view i hold about Christ preexistence. And the scriptures you presented never point to Christ as you explained. Malachi 3:1 3 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts. The question you should seek to answer here is 1. who is the messenger 2. who is the "me" 3. who is the Lord Note this Also your interpretation is only assuming meaning to just one verse without considering the context and the whole writing. Check through and read through Malachi to identify the person of the "messenger". It was explicit later in the writing. That is how you can get the right interpretation. When you interpret scriptures in pockets you will get your interpretation wrong. And there is no relationship between this and John 12:49,7:28 And yet you are still making lot of assumption and mixup between an angelic being and human messenger. This has caused a mixed up in your interpretation. 1 Like |

hupernikao: Both John the baptist and Jesus of Nazareth are messengers of Jehovah. When Jehovah says "i am coming or i am going" it doesn't mean it's the Almighty God Himself that's walking in the earth. NO! It simply means Jehovah will empower that messenger (angel) with his spirit so that the messenger will act as JEHOVAH'S representative! For example when Jehovah said "i'm going down to Egypt" {Exodus 3:2-5} He never left His throne in Heaven rather it was an angel that represented Him throughout! Exodus 13:21 compare to14:19 So when God said He will send a messenger ahead of His arrival it simply means someone will have to prepare the minds of the Israelites ahead to welcome the Messiah. Remember what Moses said about Jesus "God will raise another PROPHET like me in your midst" Deuteronomy 18:15 compare to Act 3:22 That's why Jesus himself quoted Isaiah's prophesy that says "Jehovah's Spirit is upon me" Luke 4:18 compare to Isaiah 61:1-2 So it's not Jehovah Himself that is coming, NO! But a messenger upon whom Jehovah will give His spirit to act as His representative! ![]() |

haddeylium: Not sure you read my post well. This is the summary. Were human called messenger (angel) in the bible? Yes, why? Because of certain responsibility. Are human angelic being? I am sure you know they arent. Is Jesus human? Yes, Why was he referred to as messenger? He is human carrying God's message. He wasnt a messenger relating to angelic being. Same as all Apostles and all believers,. Does that makes him angelic being? No. So, usage of angel (angelos) must be interpreted in context not given omnibus meaning as you do. Like i told you, it is human language and must be put in context which you arent doing. No one called Paul, Peter angelic being, yet they are servants of God. Why is Jesus then called angelic being because he is referred to God's servants? God servants (human being) are humans used of God. That doesnt make then angelic being. |

MaxInDHouse: You have left the verse in contention here. Also you havent considered the body of that book (Malachi). The OP i quoted said (Mal 3:1) that the "messenger" was referring to Jesus. This is the focus. So, in reading the writings of Malachi as a book will clear this for us. Mostly Malachi 3 and 4 I will paraphrase it for you here. Malachi 3:1 3 “I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come,” says the Lord Almighty. Malachi 4:1 4 “Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and the day that is coming will set them on fire,” says the Lord Almighty. “Not a root or a branch will be left to them. vs 5 5 “See, I will send the prophet Elijah to you before that great and dreadful day of the Lord comes. 6 He will turn the hearts of the parents to their children, and the hearts of the children to their parents; or else I will come and strike the land with total destruction.” Mal 4:5 already made it clear to you what he was talking about in Mal 3:1. When you read the whole of Malachi and then read Matthew you will know that Mal wasnt referring to Jesus as the messenger but John. That is obvious. So a proper reading is important not a pocket interpretation of the scriptures which wont give a true picture. So, haddeylium, referring to the messenger in Malachi as Jesus is a misinterpretation. Mal 4:5 answers Mal 3:1 with a side study of Matt 11:2, John 14:6 Jesus already cleared this also speaking about John the Baptist, Jesus quoted Malachi verbatim. Matt 11:10 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. Mal 3:1 “I will [b]send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me.[/b] That is the parallel. Also Matt 11:14 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come. Compare to Mal 4:5 5 “See, I will send the prophet Elijah to you Jesus quoted and explained Malachi verbatim, so i dont think anyone should have issue with this. 1 Like |

hupernikao: Now, that you mentioned it let's analyse Malachi 3:1 Three distinct People where identified here Two Messengers and the one who sent them ! John the Baptist appeared as the messenger who prepared the way before Jehovah by getting the Jews ready for the coming of the God's representative 'messenger of the covenant(Mat 21: 12,13; Mk 11: 15-17) compare Isaiah 42:1 Look! My servant(Jesus, in his prehuman existence), whom I support! My chosen one, whom I have approved! I have put my spirit in him; He will bring justice to the nations. |
Re: Study The Bible With Jehovah's Witnesses! by haddeylium(m): 12:12pm On Jun 08, 2021 |
hupernikao: Your question is just one! Nowhere in the Bible is an individual referred to as 'Angellic being' . This is just an English abstract word usage that might confused you . What we have are 'the spirit sons of God in heaven (Job 38:7) with their own individual personal names. They're called 'Messenger '(Angel, Malak) because they're submitting to God's superior authority. The word Angel is just a title, they're spirit sons of God's . That's why people do referred to some 'spirit sons of God' that backslided as 'Fallen Angel/Messenger". Which means they're not delivering his message any longer. |
Re: Study The Bible With Jehovah's Witnesses! by MaxInDHouse(m): 12:42pm On Jun 08, 2021 |
The person speaking through Malachi's prophecy is JEHOVAH but the person who came as His representative is Jesus! It's as simple as that! ![]() hupernikao: |

haddeylium: You are truly contradicting yourself. This wasnt your position earlier. But i hope its clearer now, that being called an angel doesnt make you angel by creation. This is a distinction you never made and that can be manipulated to start calling Jesus angel by creation. |
Re: Study The Bible With Jehovah's Witnesses! by hupernikao: 2:50pm On Jun 08, 2021 |
haddeylium: You are mixing a lot up when you are explaining. This is the reason i like separating issues. You moved from Mal to Isa without properly explaining Malachi. Explanation of the Scriptures cannot be paraphrased. You must explain where your interpretation is coming from. In Malachi. 3 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts. 1. The first messenger I will send my messenger It was clear that he was speaking about John the Baptist. Notice, your acceptance of John (human, man) as a messenger, not as preexistence. You didnt argue this. You never said John existed as one angel somewhere before. Even though, here John was yet to be born, yet you know he was speaking about a man not a preexisting servant. A man to be born as servant. 2. The Lord, messenger of the covenant Now a second personality. The Lord. Is Malachi calling his servant in preexistence or in humanity? Notice his description and activities. - whom ye seek (Israel isnt seeking an angel but a deliverer, a man as Moses, human. - shall suddenly come to his temple (temple, is earthly, this refers to his earthly mission) The personality is described in men's activities not in preexistence. This is referring to Christ work on earth. It is a prophecy of his humanity and not preexistence. You missed it when referring to Christ preexistence as servant here. Malachi never did. This servanthood is his function on earth as man (messenger of covenant). Please, look at it well and reread. That is the proper context of Malachi. Likewise Isa 42 you quoted was referring to a man. Please read full context. 2 Likes |
Re: Study The Bible With Jehovah's Witnesses! by hupernikao: 2:51pm On Jun 08, 2021 |
haddeylium: Likewise Isa 42 you quoted was referring to a man. Please read full context. Isa 42:1 Behold [b]my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.[/b] My servant here, is a man's duty to God. he already told you in verse 2-4 Please read properly. 2 He shall not cry, nor[b] lift up[/b], nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. 3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth. 4 He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law. Cry, lift up, discouraged. These are attribute of man. He was describing a man, not a spirit being, not a preexistence. Bring judgement to Gentiles, judgment in the earth.... This is man. A Lord and ruler. not a spirit being. Isaiah was prophesying and speaking about the humanity of Christ. hence the servanthood. he never referred to Jesus as servant in his preexistence. Let context always deliver you. Read the whole chapter, you will understand better, same for Malachi, read Malachi 2 and 3. 2 Likes |

MaxInDHouse: Joh 14:5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Jesus was evidently talking to His disciples, or more directly Thomas in this instance. Yet you clearly lie that He was saying this to religious leaders. Well, you'd rather believe your sad hall publications than common sense or the clear Word of God. When you repent from hypocrisy and become noble like the people of Berea, you would know indeed whether your lies are so. The religious leaders had issueS with Jesus, not just an issue. They had issues with His healings, with His doctrine, with His actions on the Sabbath, with with calling Himself the Son of God, with Him forgiving sins, virtually with everything. Try to read the Bible and dump these junk that you sell. You are starting to embarrass literacy. You forgot to answer the very simple question i asked about if you will collect monwy for Awake. We all know the chorus answer, which is YES. But your hypocrisy and pride will not allow you. Lol @ we are not the only good people, we are the only good group. What shameful dance are you doing? Is that not the exact thing i accused you of? Here you come mentioning your secret mentor TB that i did not even mention or think of. i asked you earlier in another thread but you did not answer. Will you also be his disciple? Remember, you are looking for power. Your organisation told you to wait till paradise or something, but you don't want all that. You are here online disgracing yourself up and down seeking for power from astral practice, now to TB your secret crush. Accept my condolences ehnn. Did he sponsor your schooling? |

enilove: No,not at all Jude 1:9 But Michael the Archangel, who, when he was speaking with The Devil about the body of Moses, did not speak to bring a slanderous judgment against him, but he said, “THE LORD JEHOVAH will rebuke you.” Jude 1:9 "Jehovah rebuke you" is a direct quote of Zechariah 3:2. The name Jehovah was removed & replaced with "Lord" @ Jude 1:9 & Zechariah 3:2. You were DECEIVED to assume its Jesus. Archangel Michael,Jesus Christ @ Jude 1:9, followed the biblical example at Zephaniah 3:2 & 2 Peter 2:11. Moses died many many centuries before Jesus earthly ministry, the dispute was strictly about Moses body, not dispute about Supremacy or Authority.

haddeylium: Bro, you arent addressing issues you raised. You are only contradicting yourself the more. There is a quote of yours i addressed and that should be the focus. I have also tried as much to keep you on focus as you seems to not find a stand in what you are saying and mixing things up. This is the focus of our discussion. The person you responded was asking if Jesus was an angel. Obviously your response showed that you know he is referring to angelic being, yet you subtly start talking about messenger, malak, angelo usage. The fact that you know you hold a view that Jesus was an angelic being yet perambulating on discussing human messenger as angels is not honest. This is what i have cleared you on but you are still roaming texts around the issue. To recap Firstly, the issue of everyone used of God as angels (angels of God, angelic being) is false. you arent making a distinction in this. Its either you are deliberately ignoring it or you arent honest with it. I have asked you if you are angelic being. Or arent you use of God. Kindly stop threading this line, you have no point here. Secondly, i address your wrong interpretation of Mal 3, Isa 42, You arent reading the scriptures as supposed. This is what i expect you to do and not be arguing on what is clear and written. Expect you dont have an open mind and only want to argue. The scriptures are clear and that is what you should use to discuss. Lastly, trying to fuse Jesus as angelic being into your subtle narrative is not only unbiblical, it is dishonest. No scripture and i say again, no single scriptures in the whole of the Bible referred to Jesus as angelic being. This is the focus of the discussion. Trying to subtling refer to angels as messenger and then call Jesus angel is subtle denial of the scriptures. Please give your time to read Mal 3 and Isa 42 those are your base text for the misinterpretation. And read them properly. I boldly tell you that Jesus was not an angel, this is the dispute and your subtle misinterpretation calling him one. 1 Like |

Janosky: Bro, you are mixing up scriptures. Saying Jesus and still using scriptures of heavenly appearance to explain him shows you arent considering why the name Jesus was. Jesus is the name of a man. So anywhere in those scriptures you quoted above and see Jesus or was speaking about his early mission should be treated as such. Using human name (Jesus) to explain angelic being is a first point of Biblical error. Hence all the scriptures you quoted above about angels never spoke about Jesus. You were the one reading Jesus into it. |

Your Bible interpretation skill needs to be adjusted. The way you have been pointing to scriptures and explain them with your imagination is dangerous to the inspired book. You were firstly seeing Jesus in Mal 3 to Isa 42, I corrected you. I hope that one is clear. Now you moved to Job 2:1 and seeing Jesus there again. To what end? This is Job 2:1 J[b]ob 2:1[/b]- Afterward the day came when the [i]sons of the true God entered to take their station before Jehovah[/i] Where exactly do you see Jesus here. It's obvious you are feeding from the self revelation people who will always ignore biblical text and insert their imaginations that leads to confusion. You need to quit imagining and see the Bible text well. Jesus doesn't exist in Job 2,its not written, it's not possible. Remember my first post to you, that should be a good guide for your interpretation Read it again >>> when ever you say Jesus, you are refering to a man born of man. That is him name in humanity, that is flesh and blood. You aren't refering to a spirit. Seeing Jesus gathering in book of Job is a your imagination. Allow the scriptures to speak for itself. Job told you those who gathered. Sons of God, a language used for angels in OT. And God. Jesus (human) was born thousands of years after this events. Stop overthinking in other to drive a false explanation of Jesus as angel. He wasn't there, it was GOD that was there. GOD, notice that emphasis. So, I will advise you. You need to stop dropping texts of scriptures you never know or read properly. All your texts are totally out of the authors intention but I don't want to assume they are deliberate. I want to believe it's a sign of not properly studying God's word. So please, start reading bible as it is inspired, not as you are inspired. This is how you will find a true interpretation.

Am I safe to assumed that you agree with God's word concerning how the 'Spirit Sons of God ' being referred to as 'Messengers' And Jesus,(In his prehuman existence fell in both categories)! No, you can't argue that also 1 Like 1 Share |

hupernikao:You're hungry for knowledge, but you need to have the right attitude to learn. To your question. Festofost, it is not uncommon that people have more than a personal name in the Bible. Only the names of two of God’s faithful angels (Malak:Messenger) appear in the Bible, Michael, and Gabriel others who appeared as messengers to men declined to give their names when asked. While those two angels are mentioned by name, only Michael, is called the Archangel. (Judges 13:18), (Genesis 32:29) © Apart from Michael, No Archangel is mentioned in the Bible.And the term Archangel was never used in plural to show shows that there only exist only An Archangel. Michael is described as “the” archangel, implying that he alone bears that designation. So, Jehovah has delegated only one chief angel with authority over the other angels. ©Another individual spoken as having angels subject to his command is Jesus Christ. (Matthew 13:41 ![]() The apostle Paul spoke of “the Lord Jesus” and “his” powerful angels(Messenger). But you who suffer tribulation will be given relief along with us at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his powerful angels (2 Thess1:7 ) Jesus is not just Angel but an Archangel in heaven. The apostle Paul prophesied: “The Lord himself will descend from heaven with a commanding call, with an archangel’s voice and with God’s trumpet, and those who are dead in union with Christ will rise first.” (1 Thes 4:16) Jesus here, is being described as God’s Messianic King and it says he speaks with “an archangel’s voice.” Simple and straight. You might want to say he borrowed the 'Archangel's voice' The Bible has already made it clear that it's Jesus' voice of command that will resurrect the dead The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.”—Joh 5:26-29. Just as how 'A roar' belongs to 'A lion' same way an 'Archangel's voice' belongs to 'Archangel'. The Scriptures point to the resurrected Jesus Christ as the chief of all angels—Michael the archangel.

Aren’t you formerly hoopernikao the man who was disturbing my mentions around this time last year because I said Jesus was the archangel Michael? Maybe haddeylium was right—when people hear the word ‘angel’, they think it refers to weak and frail babies with cute wings and all LOL. One nairalander once, by the name of Ima.ge123 even claimed that humans were stronger than angels because of that sort of misguided reasoning you also have. 2Peter 2:11 hupernikao: Are you saying that Jesus is NOT the person referred to in Malachi 3:1b and Isaiah 42:1?
Well, Jesus exists in Job 2:1 because he was a Son of God before he was sent to the earth. John 3:16 Because it is either he wasn’t there or he never had a prehuman existence which would be a violation of Micah 5:2 anyway.
I saw how you stylishly added God to the equation because you know somebody will come at you with Jesus being the Son of God LOL. So where did God refer to himself as the son of himself in the Bible please?
So it’s either Jesus did not have a prehuman existence which is a violation of Micah 5:2, John 8:23 or maybe he did have a prehuman existence, but he wasn’t the Son of God while in heaven?
I would have said I expected better from you as per the double standards but I guess I would be wrong because for a man basing his understanding of the nature of God from what pagans gathered around to discuss in the council of Nicea says a lot about someone telling another to treat God’s word as inspired. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

I always tell trinitarians: There will never be any concrete agreement on mode of worship within trinitarians! Luke 11:23 So if JWs say Jesus is Archangel Michael, let them argue from now till tomorrow the truth remains that it's only the Organization that believe Jesus is Michael can produce the FRUIT of God's Holy Spirit in their midst, then there's no need dragging issues with any of them! Whoever wants to know the secret of the LOVE, JOY and PEACE in our gathering should come and learn, anyone who feels he knows better is free to pitch his tent elsewhere! ![]() Janosky: 1 Like 1 Share |
