NehemiahM: OMG! You are even quoting scriptures that says Jesus is not God. That someone is "an image of another person" does it means he's the same person? Oga Na wah ooo. This is simple English ooo. That they are one, does it mean they are equal or the same? Man and woman when married are no longer two but WHAT? does this mean they are the same or equal? Oga, think nauuuu. Jesus said countless times that the father is greater than him, that he can never do or say anything but what the one who sent him told him. Hmmmmm Even the so-called big pastors don't know this. 3 Likes |

Maybe you just haven't realised it yet. Look for answers yourself. Seek Jesus Christ, the Son of God. In Ps 2:12 it says 'Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, And you perish in the way, When His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.' Here, one of the numerous verses in the OT that clearly shows Jesus as fully God, worthy of all worship, NOT what JW portray Him to be. Another thing, JWs don't know the Holy Spirit, also God (Act 5:3-4), if they did then they would know Jesus Christ, because that is one of the things the Holy Spirit (NOT 'active/life force') does, He testifies about Jesus.(John 15:26). I pray you come to the knowledge of truth in Jesus Christ and be saved. God bless you Maximus85: |

themall: Yes they did until 325AD or thereabout. Man tried to change it from Saturday sabbath to Sunday, 1st day of the week because Jesus resurrected on Sunday. Jesus as his custom was... entered the synagogue on the sabbath and taught the people. The apostles, early church observed that day of rest that God told the isrealites to "remember to keep holy... " These days we claim all the promises of the isrealites made to them by God. Some would say "but we are not isrealites nah" then why is the old testament and the 10 commandments still in your Bible? Read Gal 3:26-29 and find out how we are all isrealites. Then why should we expunge just that 4th commandment from the rest? So please tell me, why don't jehova witnesses worship on, or observe, or keep the sabbath day holy? |

JMAN05 10 Reasons for Human to Leave Religion Behind Reason 10: The Messiah Story Has Been Around For Thousands Of Years. The Messiah Story Has Been Around For Thousands Of Years. It should be noted that the idea of a divine savior of the human race is practically as old as the human race itself, and has resurfaced continually, echoing throughout our culture for thousands of years. That it continues to be a theme of popular works today is no surprise, but there exists a bitter debate over whether many or most of the major elements of the story of Jesus Christ were co-opted from other sources - some that originated hundreds or even thousands of years before Jesus.The general assertion by the skeptical is that all of these elements - the virgin birth, significance of the solstices, the miracles, disciples, baptism, crucifixion, resurrection - along with many even more specific elements like Heaven and Hell, the soul, holy communion and others, were all seen before in multiple ancient pagan religions. Many Christians contend that these similarities are a distortion, or the result of ancient records being taken out of context or simply being inaccurate; atheists similarly will point out that practically all ancient records are of questionable accuracy to some degree, including those non-Christian references to the historicity of Jesus.Modern scholars can only agree on two things about Jesus: that he was baptized, and that he was crucified on the order of Pontius Pilate. All of the other details are disputed by some group of scholars or another, and an examination of the ancient pagan religions predating Jesus - those surrounding Horus, Mithra, Dionysus, Krishna and many others - yields an astounding number of similarities that cannot be explained away as coincidence. These stories seem to be a part of ancient Mediterranean culture, which leads us to the fact that . . . Reason 9: “Mythology” Used To Be Religion. When we think of the Greek, Roman, Norse and other mythologies that we studied in school, most of us probably consider them to have the same level of actual historical significance, or value to our modern culture, as The Lord Of The Rings. That is not to say that they have little or no value - these mythologies were an important part of the development of human intellect and understanding of the world, of which we had very little at the time of their inception.From an atheist point of view, it can be argued that we still had very little understanding of the the way our world works two thousand years ago, and that the application of different aspects of pagan myth to the Christian gospels makes sense - many ancient mythologies borrowed from each other, as we know from our study of the very similar Roman and Greek mythologies and all of their various analogues (Zeus and Jupiter, Venus and Aphrodite, etc.) of the same deity archetypes. These ancient mythologies weren’t myths to the people who created them - they were religion, their way of explaining the world and its mechanics. Mount Olympus was simply the highest mountain in Greece, and to the ancient Greeks it was their version of Heaven, and Zeus their version of God.This holds true for all ancient and pagan belief systems, which also illustrates the point that Christianity did not bring religion, the concept of salvation, or even monotheism to the world - these things had been in place for centuries. Christianity, Islam and other such belief systems (and there are many similarities there as well) can be seen simply as the myths that have somehow survived to this day. Reason 8: The Bible Doesn’t Line Up With Modern Values The Bible is, obviously, an extremely old text with dozens of interpretations throughout the centuries. The term Christian itself is a rather a blanket term for a dizzying array of belief systems, very few of whom are in complete agreement as to how the Bible should be interpreted - or even in what context specific passages should be taken.Atheists do have trouble reconciling that the Word Of God, infallible as it should be, would be so open to such wildly varying interpretations - but what they have more trouble with are the passages in the Bible that clearly have absolutely no bearing on any sane, modern system of beliefs and morals. Most are aware of the passages that provide for the keeping of slaves, the wanton murder of homosexuals and adulterers, the selling of children and other such things which have no place in civilized society, let alone in texts that are considered to be holy.Yes, these things were common 2,000 years ago, but that’s the point - that these do not appear to be the suggestions and guidance of an all-knowing and loving God, but rather of men - not prophets, just men, who were very much of their time. An omnipotent God would have demonstrated an understanding of basic human rights long before we humans got around to realizing, for instance, that slavery is wrong. This limited understanding of historical context works backwards as well as you will see in this next item: Reason 7: The Bible Doesn’t Work As A Historical Text. The above-referenced debate as to whether Jesus was actually a historical person (he almost certainly was) notwithstanding, there are myriad problems to be found when attempting to reconcile the Bible’s account of ancient history with the known historical record. Again, these are inaccuracies which would not be expected from an omnipotent being, but would absolutely be expected from a 2,000 year old author with a limited historical and scientific frame of reference. Take, for example, the story of Noah and the Great Flood, a significant event that, even if it were not worldwide but localized to one region, would have made the historical records of many ancient civilizations. Many Christian scholars believe that it was localized, not a global flood, which explains its absence from the ancient record. The Bible itself says in Genesis: “6. The LORD regretted that he had made mankind on the earth, and he felt highly offended. 7. So the LORD said, “I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth-everything from mankind to animals, including creatures that move on the ground and birds of the air, for I regret that I have made them.” … 11. The earth was ruined in the sight of God; the earth was filled with violence. ”This clearly did not happen - but it was also far from the first “Great Flood” story of the ancient world, another mythological element that has echoed across cultures for millennia. And while it’s easy to argue for the validity of parables and metaphors as a means to understanding human nature and morality, the opposite case can also be made; that it has become unnecessary for us as a species. We have developed into civilized people that understand the concept of morality simply being good for our continued survival. Reason 6: Religion Is Behind Many Conflicts, Large And Small. If religiosity is the key to the understanding of human nature and our place in the Universe (or wherever we are), then this is particularly troubling to the skeptic. Yes, “Why does God let bad things happen?” is a well-worn and simplistic argument, but the fact of the existence of numerous bloody religious conflicts throughout history - including those between differing sects of Christianity - combined with the aforementioned Biblical references to the many types of offenders that should be put to death, cannot simply be waved away. Not only is killing for any reason obviously morally wrong, but there’s a direct conflict with the First Commandment, the Christian doctrine of turning the other cheek, and the simple truth that religion and politics - that other great cause of violent conflict - should not be mixed.The very phrase “King James Bible” is suspicious to the skeptic, as it implies government involvement in the interpretation of religious doctrine, and even the founders of the US thought enough of the issue to include the tenet of separation of church and state within the establishing documents of the nation. But the ability of faith to transform a political moderate into a radical cannot be overstated - and the ability of governments to use said faith to their own ends is easy to see, as it continues to this day.Many in the US think of religious radicals as those of other religions - alien religions with weird beliefs that make their followers do crazy things, but the truth is that there are radicals of practically every religious affiliation - and that there is no killer more determined than the one who believes with all their heart that God wants them to kill. Reason 5: The Religious Are Not Favored. This raises another question: the religiously devoted are certain of the truth of their religion, but there are hundreds, thousands of religions all over the world, and they cannot all be right - unless they are really all just metaphors, different interpretations of a truth that may be beyond our intellectual grasp. So the question is: if one religion is correct, why is it not the only religion? Why are its followers not favored by God? Why is there such widespread disagreement?There simply is no answer, because there is no one religion that is favored in any measurable way; not by rate of new converts, happiness or comfort of the converted, protection from disease or physical harm, anything. And the notion of a God that must “remain hidden”, that cannot interfere with the lives or fates of his followers, negates the entire concept of prayer - while also raising questions about why God spoke to so many people in Biblical times.It’s somewhat of a well-known notion that the devoutly religious, when set upon by severe misfortune, will simply think of it as “God’s will”, which we’ll discuss a little more later. But to the skeptic, it follows that an all-knowing God who loves all of his children - and is admittedly “jealous” - would be pleased with those who know the truth, and likely very displeased with the millions of his children who erroneously follow false religions. If this is the case, it is in no way apparent, but it is painfully apparent that… Reason 4: The Religious Are Not More Morally Sound Than Others. In fact, religious beliefs are decidedly not an indicator of strong moral values, and vice versa. Among atheists, it is a common misconception that Christians and other religious types are closed-minded, superstitious and judgmental; among the religious, it is a common misconception that the non-religious are depraved, morally reprehensible perverts. Thoughtful people of both types understand that such generalizations fail to hold up in reality, and that morality and religious inclinations (or lack thereof) can be two very separate things.Indeed, even those who do not believe in a deity should still be able to agree that the core values of most religions - respect for one’s fellow human beings, striving to be a good and worthwhile member of society, an agreement not to steal, cheat or murder - are basic human values that it is the responsibility of every parent on Earth to instill in their children. This does not, however, necessitate the existence of a Creator who enforces these values upon us; nor does the atheist assertion of a lack of said creator imply that we do not have a duty to lead moral lives.Many agnostics and those who don’t accept the literal truth of religious texts while still holding up the value of religion as a moral guide miss this point. Atheists will counter that there can and must be morality without religion, that we as humans no longer need these parables and metaphors that may have helped to guide us in our early development, but have outlived their usefulness to (reasonably) enlightened, thinking beings. Reason 3: Science Is Starting To Answer All Of The Big Questions. The big questions: how did we get here, where did we come from, where are going - have been with us for our entire existence, and we are finally reaching a point in our development where we are beginning to be able to address and even answer some of them. Not in the way our ancestors did, but with new tools and information that have only been recently available to us.The field of physics, and recently quantum mechanics, has revealed things to us about the world we live in that could not have been known even half a century ago - things like the nature of matter and the structure of cells and proteins - which was about the time that the double-helix model of DNA was accurately hypothesized by James D. Watson and Francis Crick, and the “code” with which we are programmed became known to us.And while the religious may argue that these things are aspects of God’s design, the skeptic may counter that though there may very well be a design, it does not automatically follow that it is the design of a Creator deity. For what the majority of the devout fail to realize is that… Reason 2: There Can Be Spirituality Absent Religion. Not only is there a strong sense of the spiritual among most of those who are atheist, but many of them feel that it is the need for spiritual oneness - the longing that is innate to most of us to be a part of a more significant whole - that is most cruelly exploited by religion. For while the skeptic contends that we were not all created by a God, that does not mean that we all didn’t come from the same place.Indeed, in purely practical terms, we did - from the universal singularity before all of time and space, before our Universe began, the same “place” - if it can truly be called that - that everything, living and non-living, past, present and future, originated in. This is what Carl Sagan understood when he penned the above quote; that there is no difference between any of us, and manufacturing differences where there are none serve only to isolate and divide.This need for oneness, for return to a singularity, is a part of human nature that is so very easily manipulated, as those who claim to offer it to us are doubtless aware. But there is no one path to it, no one way; and likewise, no way to absolve ourselves of the one absolute imperative of human existence. This is perhaps the concept that troubles the non-religious the most, because… Reason 1: Religion Helps Us Avoid Responsibility. If every aspect of our existence is a part of God’s plan; if everything that has ever happened or will ever happen is God’s will; if we exist only for God, then the need for us to be responsible to and for ourselves is negated.Even the most heinous crimes against humanity - against ourselves, from the murder of a single child to the Holocaust - can be ascribed to God’s will. But what does that mean for us? In the most practical terms, it means that we are not responsible for our actions. That if a parent abandons a child, a rich man becomes richer off the backs of the poor, a corporation causes irreparable damage to the environment, or a government exterminates thousands of its own innocent citizens, it was all a part of God’s plan. It was inevitable; it could not have been avoided. There is nothing to learn. We are not responsible.This, of course, can lead into a much longer discussion about destiny versus free will, but thinking people - both religious and non-religious - can and must agree that it is the purpose of the human race to never stop learning, and never stop growing. It’s more than a belief system, and it remains relevant regardless of what you believe or don’t believe - indeed, whether God exists or not. It’s why we’re here, and it’s our responsibility. |

And Hey... That scripture you quoted about not saving ones life through blood donation is wrong... What that scripture is trying to say is more like... Those who deny me(Christ) I will deny... And those who proclaim my name sha be saved... Now... It states...those who want to save their lives shall loose it and those who loose their life sha gain it in my name is(I.e... Jonah running away from the city of Nineveh when he was instructed to go preach to them so they might be saved).. Jonah was so afraid of loosing his life cos Nineveh is a very rugged place where they don't condole nor listen to preachers... And at most cases they kill preachers.... Jonah was so scared of going there cos he dint want to die all in the name of preaching the gospel.. But he was led there by the fish that swallowed him and he couldn't run again.. He began preaching and to his utmost surprise they repented... And gave their lives to Christ.... Now.. That's a true example of that scripture which says you loose your life trying to save it and u gain it even more when u don't care bout it.... That's how I understand that scripture oo.... I nor know about this una scattered interpretations oo Preaching the gospel of Christ and going into places not minding the violence there nor thinking what will happen to u where ever you go to and preach gospel.. If you dont give a damn and u are determined that the gospel must be preached and be heard and u went the extra mile to do such... Not minding if u die or live... Provided you are doing the will of your father which sent thee... You sha not loose it... Cos he will protect you... But peradventure you lost your life through the process of preaching the gospel (example is that case of that lady that was killed by the Muslims cos she was preaching Christ... She dint consider the death consequences.. She went ahead and did exactly what her master jesus instructed her... And I believe she is resting in the right hand of God now) she gained life eternity cos I know she did!!...... That's is the true definition of that scripture...

koladebrainiac:Is Jesus God? MANY people view the Trinity as “the central doctrine of the Christian religion.” According to this teaching, the Father, Son, and holy spirit are three persons in one God. Cardinal John O’Connor stated about the Trinity: “We know that it is a very profound mystery, which we don’t begin to understand.” Why is the Trinity so difficult to understand? The Illustrated Bible Dictionary gives one reason. Speaking of the Trinity, this publication admits: “It is not a biblical doctrine in the sense that any formulation of it can be found in the Bible.” Because the Trinity is “not a biblical doctrine,” Trinitarians have been desperately looking for Bible texts—even twisting them—to find support for their teaching. A Text That Teaches the Trinity? One example of a Bible verse that is often misused is John 1:1. In the King James Version, that verse reads: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God [Greek, ton the·onʹ], and the Word was God [the·osʹ].” This verse contains two forms of the Greek noun the·osʹ (god). The first is preceded by ton (the), a form of the Greek definite article, and in this case the word the·onʹ refers to Almighty God. In the second instance, however, the·osʹ has no definite article. Was the article mistakenly left out? Why is the Trinity doctrine so difficult to understand? The Gospel of John was written in Koine, or common Greek, which has specific rules regarding the use of the definite article. Bible scholar A. T. Robertson recognizes that if both subject and predicate have articles, “both are definite, treated as identical, one and the same, and interchangeable.” Robertson considers as an example Matthew 13:38, which reads: “The field [Greek, ho a·grosʹ] is the world [Greek, ho koʹsmos].” The grammar enables us to understand that the world is also the field. What, though, if the subject has a definite article but the predicate does not, as in John 1:1? Citing that verse as an example, scholar James Allen Hewett emphasizes: “In such a construction the subject and predicate are not the same, equal, identical, or anything of the sort.” To illustrate, Hewett uses 1 John 1:5, which says: “God is light.” In Greek, “God” is ho the·osʹ and therefore has a definite article. But phos for “light” is not preceded by any article. Hewett points out: “One can always . . . say of God He is characterized by light; one cannot always say of light that it is God.” Similar examples are found at John 4:24, “God is a Spirit,” and at 1 John 4:16, “God is love.” In both of these verses, the subjects have definite articles but the predicates, “Spirit” and “love,” do not. So the subjects and predicates are not interchangeable. These verses cannot mean that “Spirit is God” or “love is God.” Identity of “the Word”? Many Greek scholars and Bible translators acknowledge that John 1:1 highlights, not the identity, but a quality of “the Word.” Says Bible translator William Barclay: “Because [the apostle John] has no definite article in front of theos it becomes a description . . . John is not here identifying the Word with God. To put it very simply, he does not say that Jesus was God.” Scholar Jason David BeDuhn likewise says: “In Greek, if you leave off the article from theos in a sentence like the one in John 1:1c, then your readers will assume you mean ‘a god.’ . . . Its absence makes theos quite different than the definite ho theos, as different as ‘a god’ is from ‘God’ in English.” BeDuhn adds: “In John 1:1, the Word is not the one-and-only God, but is a god, or divine being.” Or to put it in the words of Joseph Henry Thayer, a scholar who worked on the American Standard Version: “The Logos [or, Word] was divine, not the divine Being himself.” Jesus made a clear distinction between him and his Father Does the identity of God have to be “a very profound mystery”? It did not seem so to Jesus. In his prayer to his Father, Jesus made a clear distinction between him and his Father when he said: “This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.” (John 17:3) If we believe Jesus and understand the plain teaching of the Bible, we will respect him as the divine Son of God that he is. We will also worship Jehovah as “the only true God.” 2 Likes |

jnrbayano:Is Jesus Almighty God? The Bible’s answer Jesus’ opposers accused him of making himself equal to God. ( John 5:18; 10:30-33) However, Jesus never claimed to be on the same level as Almighty God. He said: “The Father is greater than I am.”— John 14:28. Jesus’ early followers did not view him as being equal to Almighty God. For example, the apostle Paul wrote that after Jesus was resurrected, God “exalted him [Jesus] to a superior position.” Obviously, Paul did not believe that Jesus was Almighty God. Otherwise, how could God exalt Jesus to a superior position? —Philippians 2:9. 2 Likes |

( Hebrews 13:18, 19) Jehovah’s Witnesses pray regularly at their meetings. You are cordially invited to come to a Kingdom Hall near you and hear such prayers for yourself. 4 Likes |

manando1: John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." What else do you want after that verse told you that the word who was God latter became flesh (Jesus)? When did the word stopped being God? |
