Esdb3: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. |

Lorax: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 |

[quote author=vfactor post=39812891] About Resurrection; many people were resurrected before Christ was, it not new or illogical. Remember he resurrected Lazarus. Now who resurrected Christ? Himself or His father?[/quote It had been prophesied that he would rise again. He said himself he would rise on d 3rd day. He had God are one. You question is irrelevant. |

Jessicha: 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 . . Thank you |

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!!! |

nacaz4real:. 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. |

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 |
