It seems you aren't really understanding the Supernatural connection Jesus has with His Father, as we all know Jesus never once called Himself a God-He always claimed He is doing His Fathers work, from an early age-Jesus knew who His Father was. Jesus and God are connected-they are one, Jesus is God's seed-and Mary being His Mother-she to shares in that same seed. Jesus had a strong relationship with both seeds. {If we were to study ourselves in the natural' of course our seeds will belong to our fathers and mothers-being connected to a family} Jesus's seed was connected with His Father and Mother. {In the natural' most of us would follow after our Fathers,some our mothers-Like Jesus did. I never had that chance connecting to my father, all I knew he was in the military' some of us are lucky, having a father around, will course his seed to grow, his own wisdom and knowledge weather in God or else where-would spread through his family tree. From his father and the father before-it takes a little loving for any family seed to make it through to the next generation, and the next.} Isn't Jesus doing the same-spreading His Fathers seed across to every generation. 2 Corinthians 6:18 "I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters. Says the Lord almighty. So with connecting our seeds with Christ are we now called to be His sons and daughters. Children of the living God-which makes us part of God's family, what Jesus had started. and with the help of His Spirit we are also spreading His seed across every generation. John 10:30 Jesus said: I and the Father are one. See no-one has seen God at any time-because God is Love. He's the light that shines in us-and with that light the word shines through us. 2 Corinthians 4:6 "For God, who said, let light shine out of darkness, "made His light shine in our hearts, to give us the light of the knowledge of God's glory displayed in the face of Christ. Jesus never once told anybody He is God, its His seed, that joins together as one with His Father. Jesus never once disobeyed His Father-but obeyed Him true and true. Jesus and the father are one-their is no sin in God and their is no sin in Christ, meaning to say-the two are one. In the natural It's the same with your fathers seed-you are one with him. dolphinheart: |

makavele: There is no where in the Bible it said Jesus assumed human form temporarily. Why do you guys keep twisting the Bible to suit your teachings. The fact is that Jesus was never a spirit after his resurrection but you guys claimed he was. Luke 24:39 = Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have." That is Jesus telling Thomas he wasn't a spirit. He ate and talked with his disciples and multiple witnesses and yet you guys claimed he was a spirit. It's some of the heresy that only God can forgive. |

Quote>And what exactly JW's do to you. ![]() So what makes you think that I am against you? As a Christian I am supporting the truth. "Christ" And of course the bible. And its sad' when I hear religious groups like yours claiming to know Christ and yet, none of you preach Christ as he is. Jesus had warned us about false prophets, who and will deceive many "and we both know" its the watchtower with other religious denominational groups' who are denying Christ as He stands. The JW's believe that Jesus is not God-but a god. John 1:1 "In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. Remember I had written about God's seed. John 10:30 "I and the Father are one. It is you JW's who deny the deity of Christ, deny that He is God made flesh, deny that He is to be worshipped, and deny that it was God who shed His blood on the cross for sinners. Your New World Translation have mistranslated many passages of scriptures simply to make you agree with these false doctrines. Even the Jews said to Jesus He was a god" not the word was God. John 10:33-35 "The Jews answered Him for a good work we do not stone you, but for blasphemy and because you being a man make yourself to be a god, Jesus answered them, has it not been written in your law, I said you are gods, If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came. The Jews didn't like the idea, God had given Jesus all His authority, how else could Jesus do the things He done' without His Father. Ephesians 4:11 "And these are the gifts Christ gave to the Church, some apostles, some prophets, and evangelist the pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints, for the work of service-to the building up the body of Christ. This is what makes up the body of Christ-Jesus is alive today' as He was back then. Miracles through prayer and the body are still operational. Matthew 28:18 "Then Jesus came to them and said: all authority in Heaven and on Earth has been given to Me. As I had written earlier, Jesus and the Father had shared the same seed, and that seed carries no sin. So I am not against you-I just can't believe you would prefer to take the lie to the neighbourhoods, rather then believe in the love of the truth. 2 Thessalonians 2:10-11 "And all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. "And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie. Sarang: 1 Like |

makavele: You need to learn how to debate. One can't argue from silence which is what you are doing. The Bible never mentioned Nigeria but we know Nigeria exist. The Bible never mentioned America but we know America exist. The Bible never mentioned the Internet but we know the Internet exist. The Bible never mentioned iPhone but we know Apple makes iPhone. So, stop arguing from silence because it's a very weak position you are taking. The Bible never mentioned sniffing cocaine or heroine but we know those things are bad for you. However, the Bible clearly states that Jesus resurrected in a bodily form and he wasn't a ghost or spirit - THAT THE BIBLE CONFIRMED. So, twisting it to satisfy your Jehocah Witness theology doesn't work. The Bible is the Bible 3 Likes |

[quote author=brocab post=40167972]Lets start at John 1:1. Does John 1:1 prove that Jesus is God? John 1:1, RS: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God [also KJ, JB, Dy, Kx, NAB].” NE reads “what God was, the Word was.” MO says “the Logos was divine.” AT and SD tell us “the Word was divine.” The interlinear rendering of ED is “a god was the Word.” NW reads “the Word was a god”; NTIV uses the same wording. I'm glad that many other translations aside NW renders different meanings to this context. When you are done reading these scriptures..think deeply and lets talk. |

John 1:1 "In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. John 1:14-17 "And the word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, "This was He of whom I said, "He who comes after me is preferred before me, for He was before me. And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. For the law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. Revelation 19:13 "He was clothed with the rope dipped in blood, and His name is called The word of God. John 1:18 "No one has seen God at any time, The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father. He has declared Him. 1 John 1:5 "God is light in Him there is no darkness at all. Denying Christ as you do" you are worshipping a God you don't even know. Isn't that class as idol worship. |

brocab: Two persons mentioned here. John 1:14-17 "And the word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. And what did God tell moses, he said " will send to the isrealites a prophet like you (moses).*rough quote*. Not "a god like me" , and jesus has been telling you on several occassions that all the authority and power that I show, the extraodinary things that I do, these things that you use to ellivate me to be equal to God, where all giving to me by my father, my God, my only true God. So that he(jesus) can show the world that he was sent by God. He did not do a thing by his own initiative. Revelation 19:13 "He was clothed with the rope dipped in blood, and His name is called The word of God. Some say "has explained him" People have seen jesus , no one has seen the father at anytime. The father is the only true God, the father is the God of jesus. (1 pet 1:3) and as jesus told mary , the father is also our God. 1 John 1:5 "God is light in Him there is no darkness at all. Jesus is not equal to God, he never said so and the scriptures never said so. He never taught of grabbing such equality as Satan is trying to do. In heaven, he sits at the right hand of God, he is not God almighty. 1 Like |
Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: 17 Facts People Should Know About Them by brocab: 9:21am On Nov 19, 2015 |
TWO PERSONS ARE NOT MENTION HERE. As we can see both seem to have one of the same equalities. You still don't get it do you? John 1:5 "God is light, In Him there is no darkness at all. John 8:12 "Jesus is the light of the world. whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness. As it shows, not one of you' really take any notes that has been written word for word of bible scriptures on this forum about Christ-that's about right-you don't even try to understand the truth. No-one can help you understand-how the Lord had revealed such wisdom-given us a discernment about the word of God, without you having any understanding, I feel like I am trying to lead the blind-you have no knowledge how the Spirit of God reveals His secrets, concerning the bible. You need to ask the Spirit of God to reveal such secrets of information to you. Going to your elders is a waste of time.. Praise the lord for ever more. dolphinheart: 1 Like |

That's right both of them are mentioned, and both of them are one the same. No-one has seen God at any time-because God shined His light through Jesus. God is light. John 1:18 "No-one has even seen God, but the one the only Son, {Jesus} who is Himself God, and in relationship with the Father, Has made Him known. No-one seen God-before Jesus came. 2 Corinthians 4:6 "For God, who said, let light shine out of the darkness, " made His light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God's glory displayed in the face of Christ. Jesus said one must be born again and be baptised into His name. This is where you religious organisations go wrong, like the Catholic's, everyone is baptised under the banner of the Catholic Church, by doing it, this way-we find the Catholic's won't mix with other Christians who aren't Catholic. Same with you JW's having the same ordeal, you were baptised under the banner of the JW's and again you won't mix with other Christians in Christ. Christians means Christ like, and yet none of you religious forks mix with other Christians that's outside your Church. dolphinheart: |

brocab: Is jesus the same person as the father? Now that you have agreed that there are two persons mentioned there. No-one has seen God at any time-because God shined His light through Jesus. God is light. So wheneva anybody sees Gods light, its jesus they see. Jesus is now a light emanating from the father, and not a seperate entity with his own light? But if you mean that one person shines his light through another person, then it means they are two seperate persons who can have conversation with each other and take instructions from each other. John 1:18 "No-one has even seen God, but the one the only Son, {Jesus} who is Himself God, and in relationship with the Father, Has made Him known.You can't be with another person and still be that same other person, even trinitarians and scholars dnt agree to that. Jesus is a seperate person from the father. No-one seen God-before Jesus came. And did they see God when and after jesus came? No one has seen God at any time! Jesus said one must be born again and be baptised into His name.show scripture. This is where you religious organisations go wrong, like the Catholic's, everyone is baptised under the banner of the Catholic Church, by doing it, this way-we find the Catholic's won't mix with other Christians who aren't Catholic.How do the jw's baptise under their banner? . |

John 17:21 "Jesus prays for the believers-"I do not pray for those alone, but also for those who will, believe in Me through their word. "That they ALL MAY BE ONE, AS YOU, FATHER, ARE IN ME, AND I IN YOU, that they also may be one in US, That the world may believe that you sent Me. John 4:24 "God is Spirit and its necessary for those worshipping Him, to worship with Spirit and with truth. So how can you say God the Father is another person? When Jesus clearly tells us God Spirit resides in Him. God's light shined through Jesus, God is Spirit, both are one seed together. The sinless seed of God, can only be revived by sinless blood, only Jesus carried that blood type to revive God's seed in us. Jesus is the door into the sheepfold, where the seed of the image of God, resides in man. 1 Corinthians 6:17 "But he who is joined to the Lord is one Spirit with Him. Luke 8:11 "The seed is the word of God. John1:1 "In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. John 1:14 " And the word became flesh and dwelt among us. {JESUS} {BORN AGAIN} John 3:3 "No one can see the kingdom of God' unless they are born again. Read John 3:1-7 "This will give you a more clear view why you need to be born again. {BAPTISED} Matthew 28:19 "Therefore go and make disciples of all nation, baptising them in the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit. Whereus Jesus commanded to be baptised in the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit, JW's are baptised on the bases of Jesus sacrifice, to Jehovah, in association with the spirit-directed organization. " This is yet another area where bible teaching are changed to elevate the watchtower organization. {THE MYSTERY MAN} When Moses went to the mountain, did he see God as a man? Or did he see God as a burning bush? Did Abram see God as a man? Elijah see God? Adam seen the Lord God walking in the garden in the coolness of the day. Wait he couldn't of seen God? "No" he said he had seen the Lord God-we know God is Spirit, God is light. In Genesis 1, God created the heavens and the earth, and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. [color=#000099]{This opens up a hole new meaning, His Spirit acted once again} God created man in His own image-so does this mean we now have a mystery man Adam had seen walking in the garden? [/color] This is got to be a good question to ask>were they the same person seen walking in the garden? Adam said he seen the Lord God walking in the garden? He didn't say he had seen the Father walking with His Son. Don't forget, "I tell you the truth, Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born I am. dolphinheart: 1 Like |
