Who has the earth seen. Jesus or God?
No one can see God and yet live. God sent jesus.

Who died for your sins Jesus or God?
God cannot die, he has imortality, that you say jesus died shows he is not almighty God.

Who do you pray to Jesus or God?
I pray to God,the true God, the father, just as jesus did and taught me to.

So Jsus was being silly when he said 'if you have seen me you have seen God?"
Jesus is a representative of God,he is not the almighty God.

The trinity means Jesus is God and God is Jesus but God is greater than Jesus. The things of God are hidden from the wisdom of the wise.
As God has not hidden it from you, can you explain how God is jesus and he is at the same time greater than jesus?
Does jesus have equal authority to the father? The only true God?
If no , then jesus is not the almighty God.
The JW bastardized John 1:1 by writing 'the word was a god'. John couldn't have been describing some god and go on to say 'there was nothing made that was not made through him'
I sincerely requesting that you look up translations of john 1:1 and see what some scholars and translators said about that verse.

What you fail to understand is - Jesus and God are like the body and spirit they are so intimate and close. That is why God called him his beloved son.
Using unscriptural logic will not suffice.

God even went on to make Jesus name greater than every other name including his. 'YHWH'
False Bro.

is a name and Jesus is a name so before you argue think. How can you pray in the name of Jesus and not be worshipping him.
I pray in the name of jesus cus
Of the words In these scriptures. It is not worshiping jesus.

Hebrews 10:19-22
Therefore, brothers, since
we have boldness for the way of entry into the holy place by the blood of Jesus, which he opened up for us as a new and living way through the curtain, that is, his flesh, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us approach with sincere hearts and complete faith, having had our hearts sprinkled clean from a wicked conscience and our bodies bathed with clean water.

John 4:6
Jesus said to him: “I am the
way and the truth and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through me.

John 15:16
You did not choose me, but I
chose you, and I appointed you
to go and keep bearing fruit and that your fruit should remain, so that no matter what you ask the Father in my name, he(not jesus) may give it to you.

John 16:23,24
In that day you will ask me no question at all. Most truly I say to you, if you ask the Father for anything, he will give it to you in my name.
Until now you have not asked
for a single thing in my name.
Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.

1 cor 1:2,3
to the congregation of God that is in Corinth, to you who have been sanctified in union with Christ Jesus, called to be holy ones, together with all those everywhere who are calling on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours: May you have undeserved kindness and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Eph 2:18
because through him we, both peoples, have free access to the Father by one spirit.

Remember, the head of Christ is God. Jesus said the father is his God, and jesus is not the father.

John 1:1 in the N.W.T. says that "the Word was a god," instead of "the Word was God." The definite article "the" is replaced with "a," and the capital "G" is replaced with a lower case "g." The last half of 1 John 5:7 is omitted in the N.W.T., because it says that the Father, the Word (which is Christ in John 1:14), and the Holy Ghost "are one."

The word was a god . . simply means he was a god but then another God who is superior exist
e.g Ambode is god to Lagos as governor, but Buhari is a bigger god as president

The word was God . .. simply means he was God , but then another God who is superior exists
e.g Ambode is god to Lagos as governor, but Buhari is a bigger god as president

The word is GOd . . means the word is God presently, and no other God exists
e.g Ambode is God as govenor . . the word is meaning presently, so it means presntly Ambode is God supreme

Brother, please, think it well and see the differences . . .

Ambode is God (which means he is one and only God) . . . is different from Ambode is a God , (which means he is just one of many others who have Godlike powers)

Think deeply sir

Their magazines are awesome, no doubt. I've lived with some of them and I have them as friends.They are wonderful set of people though. Let's be honest, they are biased in many ways.
1. They don't sing any other Christian songs even hymns and they expect you to sing their's.
2. They claim their magazines are free but when it's given to you, a donation is expected and if you decline you are given this evil look. I've seen instances where you won't be given any if you won't donate.
3. They have ridiculous rules.
4. They read the Bible out of context.
5. They claim to know the number of people that will inherit the earth.
1.We dont expect you to sing our songs.Dont get it wrong.Because we do not sing your hyms doesn't mean we'll force you to sing ours.Even when you come to our meetings,you will not be forced to sing along.

2.Donations are voluntary.If you feel that the person's looks will pressure you to donate,will the same person's looks give you money when you are broke.The only reason why you are given that look is because your "flimsy excuse" behind it.Dont feel compelled to do it because its almost null and void if you don't donate cheerfully and willingly

3.Please,expantiate on the examples of these "ridiculous rules".

4.Some complain that we read the Bible out of context or give an explanation out of context because of the logical reasoning that comes into play in Bible books like Revelation.You may see it as out of context

5.The Bible clearly states at Revelation 14:1-5 that 144,000 stand with the Lamb on Mount Zion and that these ones were brought from mankind.Standing before the lamb indicates physical presence and as we know,Mount Zion represents God's Kingdom in Heaven...So logically,it means that it is 144,000 delegated ones who will be there in addition to the already present angels,Jesus and his Father,Jehovah...

The earth was made to be inhabited...Its the inhabitants that made it bad and that is why,after the wicked ones have been destroyed,the Earth would be ready for the meek ones to inherit....Only the 144,000 anointed ones would go to heaven and Mind you,they are there to rule with Jesus Christ

Sending you a slice pic of what they wrote and believe as their doctrine will not give you a clear picture of why Jehovah witness do not worship nor regard Jesus Christ as GOD. You have to read the whole book itself to get the exact picture of where they STAND regarding the DIVINITY of Jesus Christ.
There are two books I will like you to buy and read. Both books are very authoritative and writting by Jehovahs Witness themselves.
The names of the books are: ''You Can Live Forever in Paradise on Earth'', and ''Revelation; Its Grand Climax at Hand!''.
Both are very old books and very interesting to read, all written in the 80s.

Sincerely I'm yet to undrstnd what u guys derive from talking trash out of heresay or mere assumption. U've labeled dem with so many falsehood which I'm overly sure dey cannot b identified with. Ce, it won't do u any harm 2 call any of dem when dey pass by ur area & ask dem any kind of ques u think dey contradict d bible on.

tell them to pray when they come to ur house, they won't. I don't know why it's difficult for them to pray. cool

i cant just show up at u door and u ask me to pray . . do u know what prayer means ...
its a a communication between u and God to ask for something , complain, praise , etc
Can u just wake up and dial Buhari's number and speak to him on phone ? when there is no need for it?
let us not abuse the gift of prayer
we only pray to communicate with God . . . and i just showed up at ur door, i don't even know ur name
i dont even know if u killed somebody last night, or i u are a ritualist, i dont know whats on ur mind
if at all there is a need to pray, then it should be u doing the prayer, cos u know best in ur heart what u want from God ..

Guys, if you like yourself, run! From jevovah witnesses. Run and don't look back!!

This was the advice one their members gave me. Ofcourse, I didn't listen at first and I regretted it big time.

They are the true definition of secret cult. I mean devil's cult.

You have been warned.

You are deluded and if u are not careful, you could be sued for libel and defamation of character without any substantial and reasonable evidence
if i ask u to prove in the law court, how a secret cult operates, can you ?

SO David and moses make heaven without Jesus ? Yes Or No

They Make Heaven without a saviour ? shocked shocked

How can Jesus claim to die for the whole WORLD if some humans make heaven without him dying for them ? pls explain

Very funny how people don't even take to read their Bibles and still comment
I have read the Bible from cover to cover at least over 200 times . . .
For even the new testament as u love to call it said . . the blood of goats and lambs was enough for the old times, but Jesus came and shed his blood once and for all times.
Moses and people from old only needed to make animal sacrifices for atonement of sins . .
But when Jesus came, he changed that by shedding his own blood . . .
Moses was long dead before Jesus came . .

For you that says John 1:1 points to Jesus as God,i guess you are so gullible to see that Jesus had a Father in heaven,God...While he was on earth,when he prayed,who did he pray to?Or he was being stupid by praying to his own entity in the heavens?Or he "cloned" himself?

For more info,read the whole of John Chapter 1.Could God come and live among men or transform his own life to a foetus and be born imperfect?Think too,that when the Bible says that all things came through him,the Bible also mentions Jesus as the Master Worker at Collosians 1:15,16;Proverbs 8:22-31....Even the angels were made with Jesus' help.Dont get it twisted...Its just like a prospective landlord handing over the building of his house to a contractor although he may come from time to time to monitor the progress.Its that simple!!!

Listen Jo, for this very reason in the near future JWs' will be targeted by the world powers or governments, many would refuse to pay their allegiance to any government on earth or any flag, and as a result JWs' would suffer horrendous oppression and persecution. Hope when that time comes Jo you'll help a brother.
. It's no news. Christ's followers have always been persecuted. Infact Jesus said that we should expect it( John 15:20). Even as we speak, JWs are persecuted in different lands( like Russia, Azerbaijan and others) by governmental officials, often instigated religious leaders. But we are confident that Jehovah will definitely make a way out for us.

Michael Jackson didn't leave. he was disfellowshipped on the account of this music videos which portrays belief in the occult
and of humans transforming into demons and tormenting fellow humans. Such a belief is contrary to what the Bible preaches, cos even the Bible said, anyone practicing spiritism should not be found among God's people.
Please get your facts right, for even Michael Jackson even added a disclaimer to his video Thriller, that he doesnt support occultism
but how come you dont' support something, but spend millions of dollars to promote it via music video
Please think well, sir

From my experience in school,during their song sessions,,,they always say/sing something like:"Jesus is a Mighty God"...Yes,Jesus is a Mighty God but Jehovah is the Almighty God meaning that he is greater than Jesus.The same song also contradicts the Trinity doctrine...Jehovah is Almighty,Jesus is Mighty and the Holy Spirit is God's active force....Get your dictionary if you dont know the meaning of those words
