Now this is the last time I will write the scriptures for you, if you still don't understand what I have copied from the bible, then I advise you to crawl back under that rock from where you came from, and stay there, until Jesus returns. I simply asked you a question and you answered it, not changing the topic, but making it more interesting-while you are writing' I have noticed you don't used your own bible in any of the verses you have laid out on this page, and yet the JW's swear your bible is 100% truth? And while You have claimed our bible doctrines are a pack of lies, you still prefer to use them to prove your point. And not your own bible? New Would Translation bible {Hebrews 1:8-9} {This verse points it out clearly who God is speaking too, "but it shows the JW's had change one simple word that had changed man kind-drawing them further away from the truth} New World Translation bible {V 8} But about His Son, He say's God is your throne, forever and ever, and the scepter of your kingdom is the scepter of uprightness. King James bible {V 8} "But to the Son He says: "Your throne O God is forever and ever, a scepter of righteousness and a scepter of your Kingdom. {It shows who made the switch, with the word, one bible had changed history, the New World Translation, had removed the truth away from the scriptures. While the King James and many other bibles that follow stands fern' who God is speaking too, "God had called His own Son God} New World Translation bible {V 9} You loved righteousness, and you hated lawlessness. That is why God, your God had anointed you. King James bible {V 9} "You have loved righteousness and you have hated lawlessness. Therefore GOD your God had anointed you with the oil of gladness more than your companions. So it seems both bible"s have a slight difference between them. Enough to change the truth away from God's people. New World Translation bible {Revelation 1:4-6} John to the seven congregation + that they are in the province of Asia: May you have undeserved kindness and the peace from "the One who is and who was and who is coming, + and from the seven spirits, + that are before His throne. {And of course the JW's don't believe the One who is and who was and who is coming, is Jesus} king James bible [Revelation 1:4-6} "John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are before His throne. New Would Translation bible {V 5} "And from Jesus Christ, "the faithful witness" + "the first born from the dead, + and the ruler of the Kings of the earth. " + To Him who loves us + and who set us free from our sins by means of his own blood. + - King James bible {V 5} And from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first born from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood. New World Translation bible {V 6} And he {Jesus} made us to be a kingdom, + priest + to his God and Father-yes, to him be the glory and the might forever Amen. King James bible {V 6} And {Jesus} had made us kings and priest to His God and Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever Amen. New World Translation bible {Revelation 3:1-2,12} {Jesus speaks to the JW's and said} I know your deeds, that you have the name that you are alive, but you are dead, become watchful + and strengthen the things remaining that were ready to die, for I have not found your works fully performed before My God. King James Bible {Revelation 3:1-2} {Jesus says} I know your works, that you have a name that you are a live, but you are dead, be watchful and strengthen the things which remain that are ready to die, for I have not found your works perfect before God. dolphinheart: |

brocab: brocab, I believe you are educated, I strongly hope I not wrong. I believe you have the capacity to understand a request and answer it accordingly. brocab, I didn't not ask you to examine different translations I did not ask you to just qoute verses, i did not ask you who the person who was talking was talking to, look at what I asked you well well. brocab, pls QUOTE and EXPLAIN rev:1,4-6 , heb 1:9 And then tell us who is TALKING in rev 3:2,12. SIMPLE REQUEST! I know you, I know you will do anything possible so as not to quote those scriptures and show the world your views on those scriptures. you must have been cracking your brains on how you can explain those verses to make it look as if it surpports your doctrine, but you cannot. hence you decided not to quote and explain them! you prefer to be jumping left and right. your latest attempt is to quote different translations but refusing to share your understanding of any! brocab, if you dont want to quote and explain those scriptures,pls leave it! as to the translation I use , I prefer to use mostimes on these thread the translation that you accept. I want to use your own translation as much as possible to show you that your doctrines are false! I wunt use your translations in cases where it has deliberately on its own removed God's name, or where it does not fully expresses my views.

@brocab heb 1:9 New International Version You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy." New Living Translation You love justice and hate evil. Therefore, O God, your God has anointed you, pouring out the oil of joy on you more than on anyone else." English Standard Version You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions.” Berean Study Bible You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, Your God, has placed You above Your companions by anointing You with the oil of joy." Berean Literal Bible You have loved righteousness and have hated wickedness; because of this, God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of exultation above Your companions." New American Standard Bible "YOU HAVE LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HATED LAWLESSNESS; THEREFORE GOD, YOUR GOD, HAS ANOINTED YOU WITH THE OIL OF GLADNESS ABOVE YOUR COMPANIONS." King James Bible Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. Holman Christian Standard Bible You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; this is why God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of joy rather than Your companions.

solite3: Even in his divine nature he will and is always subject to his Father, creator, the one that exalted him and placed his enemies under his feet! So the Bible clearly shows one is superior and one is subject to the other. 1 Corinthians 15:27,28 shows God put everything under him which shows he has more authority. After everything God will be all in all, whether in heaven or on earth he has always been his father's subject! |

solite3:yes, the disciples never prayed to become God , neither did I say so. They prayed to have the same divine nature as jesus! 2 peter 1:4 New International Version Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. I once asked you what is divine nature, but you refuse to answer. having divine nature does not make you God or a God, but it makes you have same nature as God!. despite having same nature as God, it does not mean you are equal to God! two humans have the same human nature, but it does not mean that they have the same authority, power , intelligence, physical or mental attributes. Jesus HAS same nature as God in heaven, that nature is divine, but it does not make jesus equal to God(who is the father, the almighty). The scriptures makes it clear several times that the father is the God of jesus! King James Version 1Pe 1:3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, God is a spirit, Jesus is a spirit, the angels are spirits, likewise those disciples will be sprits when they enter heaven, for flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God ! jesus is a seperate person from the father, they both have the same nature, the father is God, so jesus can be said to have same nature as God , but it does not make jesus the father, therefore it does not make jesus God! you can claim jesus is God cus jesus is called God, but jesus ,despite being called mighty God , still has a God superior to him, one who is called the almighty God, who is the most high!. This fact you refuse to acknowledge , cus anytime I ask you if jesus has a God that is superior to him at this moment, you refuse to answer! yes christ divine nature in christians is the spirit of christ in them or the spiritual embodiment of christ in them.Does that mean they are now God? But christ by nature is God.as at the time this speech was made, they already have the spirit of christ in them, therefore what they are hoping for is not the spirit of christ, but a transformation of their nature from a human nature to gods nature, from a slave to children of God, from a physical body to a spiritual body, and thus be like Christ!, this is the promise, their hope. luke 22:29,30(New International Version) And I confer on you a kingdom, just as my Father conferred one on me, 1 peter 1:3,4(New International Version) Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, (NLT SAYS: Now we live with great expectation) 4. and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, php 3: 20,21(New International Version) But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21. who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body. read 1Co 15:44-53 when your nature changes, it simply means your nature/form changes!, yes we shall be like him cos he is already like us in perfect waysfunny, so they will be like jesus because jesus is already like them! wow!. now I see why you could not support this with scripture well the scriptures tells us better sir 1 john 3:2 (New International Version) Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. 1 cor 15:49( New International Version) And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly man. rom 8:29 (New International Version) For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. yes Jesus is God's image Exactly no difference. where does the theory of Almighty n mighty emanated fromgood, an image is a representation of oneself, it's not oneself. your image is not you, it's your image! let me use the scriptures to explain further 1 cor 15: 49 talks about bearing two images , the one they bear, and the one they will bear. The image they bear is of the earthly one , they bore the image of adam, a human , who had human form , had human nature. gen 5:3 (New International Version) When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth. can you see that setH is the image of adam? does that mean that setH is adam? no! does it mean that setH is equal to Adam? no! does it mean that that setH is a human, with same nature with adam? yes! apply that to jesus and you will understand better how jesus is the image of God . now the verse continues to say they will bear the image of the heavenLy man, who is a spirit, with a different nature to adam. when they bear this image, does it mean they become God!? no! therefore jesus having the image of God does not mean he is God, just as his disciples bearing the image of jesus does not mean they are jesus or become jesus! [s what is this one saying, so nature does not determine servitude, can God be a servant? Is it possible? There are humans who choose not to serve God,that is called abandoning there purpose it is called sin same thing with angel.All things were created for God's pleasure n it is called service.well, it depends on the understanding of what the term God means, but the scriptures had been irrevocably clear that Jesus who is a God is subjected to someone more superior to him. acts 4:27,30(New International Version) Indeed Herod and Pontius Pilate met together with the Gentiles and the people of Israel in this city to conspire against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed. Stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus." King James Version 1Co 15:28And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all. yesGod was never a man ? yes jesus was a man? yes. is jesus same person as the one who anointed him?no who anointed jesus ? God! is the one who anointed jesus the God of jesus? yes |
