It seems everyone is on holiday's at the moment-usually when it's quite, soon the thunder will roar, and the Almighty Jesus will raise up once more-and caste His anointing over His people-and the war begins with a bang against the principalities and against the darkness in this world. But I am sure we Christians need a break a resting period from these unbelieving so called Christians we have on this site. Everyone who can twist and turn the scriptures around as good as the JW's might as well call themselves atheist. Neither are they Hot nor are they Cold in the word of God, but lukewarm, people that don't matter in any religion, only to themselves they glorify their own. www.watchtowerorganisation.com. 2 Likes |

CAPTIVATOR: duh, I told you, God and the Word, and like other false jw you cannot see it, false jw are blinded by satan 2Co_4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. CAPTIVATOR: God is one Jesus is one with the Father, they are two persons one God, but satans disciples cannot possibly see or understand, as you keep showing. Truly God and the Word is God, but you don't believe the Bible and change it, you say I lied, but you in fact said the Bible is lies, because that's where I get my beliefs, here it is again that say's the Word is God, and which satans disciples say is a lie: Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. all false jw can do is lie, and change the Bible to fit their false doctrines. Jesus said to the pahrisees, and of course it applies to todays pharasee jw's: Joh_8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do.

Right on brother {John 1:1} spells it out pretty clear, that Jesus isn't just a God" He is "the God" In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God-Jesus kept on repeating Himself I and the Father are One. So if this doesn't answer your Questionnaire, then nothing will. If I was an JW atheist then I couldn't believe in such knowledge-because this knowledge doesn't come from the world, this knowledge can only come from the Spirit of God, the Almighty reveals such wisdom and knowledge into those who have chosen to believe, my flesh and my mind is carnal {Romans 8:6-7} The mind govern by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life. The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God, it does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so. {1 Corinthians 6:17} but whoever is united with the Lord is one with Him in Spirit. So this information I give to you, does not come from my flesh, but the Spirit of God in me reveals this to you. tempem: 1 Like |

[quote author=tempem post=47528630] Am not arguing that out.. What am seeing are two different entity. But I want to be sure if Kjv rendering harmonizes with other Apostle John's statement. id in he garden of eden. So there is Jehovah God the maker of heaven and earth and the witnesses believe in Jesus Christ also but as Jehovah's first and only creature as found in colossians 1:15-20, 15 He is the image of the invisible God,+ the firstborn of all creation;+ 16 because by means of him all other things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible,+ whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All other things have been created through him+ and for him. 17 Also, he is before all other things,+ and by means of him all other things were made to exist, 18 and he is the head of the body, the congregation.+ He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead,+ so that he might become the one who is first in all things; 19 because God was pleased to have all fullness to dwell in him,+ 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all other things+ by making peace through the blood+ he shed on the torture stake,* whether the things on the earth or the things in the heavens. That Jehovah was truly the Father or Life-Giver to this firstborn Son and, hence, that this Son was actually a creature of God is evident from Jesus’ own statements. He pointed to God as the Source of his life, saying, “I live because of the Father.” According to the context, this meant that his life resulted from or was caused by his Father, even as the gaining of life by dying men would result from their faith in Jesus’ ransom sacrifice.—Joh 6:56, 57. How he is the “only-begotten Son.” Jesus’ being called the “only-begotten Son” (Joh 1:14; 3:16, 18; 1Jo 4:9) does not mean that the other spirit creatures produced were not God’s sons, for they are called sons as well. (Ge 6:2, 4; Job 1:6; 2:1; 38:4-7) However, by virtue of his being the sole direct creation of his Father, the firstborn Son was unique, different from all others of God’s sons, all of whom were created or begotten by Jehovah through that firstborn Son. So “the Word” was Jehovah’s “only-begotten Son” in a particular sense, even as Isaac was Abraham’s “only-begotten son” in a particular sense (his father already having another son but not by his wife Sarah).—Heb 11:17; Ge 16:15. John 1:1 as saying: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Literally the Greek text reads: “In beginning was the word, and the word was toward the god, and god was the word.” The translator must supply capitals as needed in the language into which he translates the text. It is clearly proper to capitalize “God” in translating the phrase “the god,” since this must identify the Almighty God with whom the Word was. But the capitalizing of the word “god” in the second case does not have the same justification. The New World Translation renders this text: “In the beginning the Word was, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god.” True, there is no indefinite article (corresponding to “a” or “an”) in the original Greek text. But this does not mean one should not be used in translation, for Koine, or common Greek, had no indefinite article. Hence, throughout the Christian Greek Scriptures, translators are obliged to use the indefinite article or not according to their understanding of the meaning of the text. All English translations of those Scriptures do contain the indefinite article hundreds of times; yet most do not use it at John 1:1. Nevertheless, its use in the rendering of this text has sound basis. Let's try and correlate the message the bible try to transmit. 1 Like |

Explain to me clearly in which way you would like me to explain this scripture to you. I think the KJV's spells this verse out as it sounds. Their are many bibles that explains it the same as the KJ's, And If you are asking me to agree with you about {John 1:1} and John 1:14} yes you are right-you can clearly see the scripture and you believe, I believe it too. {Amplified Bible John 1:1} In the beginning {Before all time} was the Word {Christ} and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. So until you explain to me what actually how you would like me to answer your question, then nothing I write would make any sense to you. unless you are a born again Christian?

{John 1:18} NIV Bible-No one has seen God at anytime, but the one and only Son, who is Himself God. It's only through Jesus you can see God. {John 14:8} Philip said, "Lord" show us the Father and that will be enough for us, Jesus replied, Philip I have been with you all this time, and still you do not know Me? Anyone who has seen Me, has seen the Father. How can you say show us the Father. because in {1 john and John 1:18} clearly states no-one has seen God at anytime, because God is Spirit. And if God's Spirit resides in His Son then the Son and His Father are One. I and the Father are One. Now this is cool. {Isiah 7:14 and Matthew 1:22} Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign, Behold the Virgin shall conceive a Son, And shall call Him Immanuel In the New Testament {Matthew 1:23} confirms the birth of Jesus fulfilled this important Prophesy. {Isiah 9:6} For us a Child is born, to us a Son is Given, and the Government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called wonderful councillor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, prince of peace.

I find this out of texts when are you JW's ever interested in the KJV, it's your bible or no bible you believe in. Forget the KJ read the 1611 version, this should give you a better insight how the bible was translated from the Latin language to the English version, and to have so many correct manuscripts, that is translated-shows the flesh can't answer your questions but the Spirit of God can. If you are sincerely seeking for the Plain facts, bro, then become a born again Christian as the word of God tells you to be, and then try and question your own answers. Its only the word of God that sets you free. And if you still refuse to believe then Look up {Isaiah 7:14} Behold a Virgin shall conceive a Son and His name Shall be Called Immanuel {Meaning God with us} {Matthew 1:22} confirms the birth of Jesus fulfilled the Prophesy. {Isaiah 9:6} Describes Jesus "And for us a child shall be born to us a Son shall be given "His name shall be called Wonderful counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father Prince of peace". And please explain why these scriptures are calling Jesus these names {Revelation 1:8, 17-18} Again the bible is describing Jesus as the Alpha and the Omega says the Lord, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty, and if no-one has seen God at anytime-As you have agreed on-then of course these scriptures are only referring to Jesus? So what does this mean? You yourself have agreed God isn't a person-because no-one has seen God at anytime. tempem: |
