OneJ: It's really frustrating debating with you, seems you lack basic language study, what is the Hebrew used in Gen 49:3? Is it the same as Gen 1:1? We are talking about greek, you are talking about Hebrew. The greek word arche means beginning or source or origin, so Christ is the beginning or source or origin of Gods creation, He is the Originator same greek word used for God and Jesus in" I am the beginning and the end". Do you get it now |

OneJ: ... runaway? Where? How? This wasn't directed to me so why do you think I'm running away. You are the one running away from Isaiah 48:16 because obviously Watch tower hasn't taught you how to refute it yet with your lies so you can't think and argue for yourself... such a pity |

zodiakzax: Enemies of truth , "first born " in Gen49:3, 1chr5:1 & Col 1:15 has the same meaning in all languages. "The beginning of all creation" IS NOT the same thing as " I am the beginning and the end", oh ye twisters of truth! Where in your Bible was Yahweh addressed as "the beginning of all creation "? None !! Was Jesus Christ was called "the beginning of creation" ? Yes ! Because he was created, begotten,brought forth. "In the beginning God created the heavens " " In the beginning was the word..." The word had a beginning just as the heavens had a beginning. Mumu ,twisters of truth, Yahweh, the Almighty God had no beginning. HE brought forth Jesus Christ ,the word & the world. Psalms 90:1,2. Yahweh is not Jesus Christ. |

That's it Brother I came as the Father’s representative and have come into the world. Now I am leaving the world and am going to the Father John 16:28 Work, not for the food that perishes, but for the food that remains for everlasting life, which the Son of man will give you; for on this one the Father, God himself, has put his seal of approval.” 28 So they said to him: “What must we do to carry out the works of God?” 29 In answer Jesus said to them: “This is the work of God, that you exercise faith in the one whom he sent.” -john 6: 27-29 But he answered: “It is written: ‘Man must live, not on bread alone, but on every word that comes from Jehovah’s mouth.’”matt:4;4 Then Jesus said to him: “Go away, Satan! For it is written: ‘It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’” Matt 4:10 Jesus can't say this things if he's the father(Jehovah) But I want you to know that the head of every man is the Christ; in turn, the head of a woman is the man; in turn, the head of the Christ is God- 1corinthians 11:3 Paul can't say this if Jesus is God And now, Jehovah, give attention to their threats, and grant to your slaves to keep speaking your word with all boldness, while you stretch out your hand for healing and while signs and wonders occur through the name of your holy servant Jesus -Acts 4: 29-30 The apostles can't pray like this if Jesus is God .. they even called Him a servant of Jehovah |

zodiakzax: U are just hanging on to straws. Isaiah 48:16, I've already shown U what it means. Its no basis for Trinity. v1 to 11 ,Yahweh spoke to House of Jacob. v12,13,Yahweh again spoke to Jacob. v14,15, prophecy about Cyrus. (Jere 50 & 51) v16a Yahweh spoke to Jacob (Isa45:19). v16b. prophecy about Jesus ministry (Isaiah 42:1. 61:1.. Matt3:16. Luke4:18-21). Go throway your mumu doctrine for dustbin. |

OneJ: :- , you confuse yourself, seriously? , I'm here showing to you that the greek Word used as begining is arche which means beginning, source and origin. Same word use for God as He's the beginning and the end..... John 1:2 says the Word was in the beginning with God, eternity, God was in the beginning so was the Word with God. If the Word had a beginning then the Word shouldn't have been in the beginning with God.. if God says I am the beginning and the end, the first and the last and Jesus says the same then they were both in the beginning. Maybe you need a class one lesson.. Okay so God says I'm the beginning, and it was said of Christ that He was in the beginning with God, then the Father and Son were both in the beginning. Also it is said of Yahweh that He's the First and the Last, Christ said He's the First and the Last... |

OneJ: It saddens me that you are still so stubborn.... isaiah 48:16, who is the speaker? Q2. Who was the other Yahweh the sender? Q3. Who is the Spirit? Why do you for argument sake want to make a fool out of yourself? So according to you VS 6b Yahweh is the speaker, so if Yahweh is the speaker in vs 16 why do you split that into a and b where there's only a and one speaker which you have acknowledged. The point here is there's one Speaker which we both agree that is Yahweh. So who is the other Yahweh sending Yahweh the speaker? If I were you I will humble myself and do further research into that scripture and stop the stupidity and foolishness |

in Jesus Case at Revelation 1:17, 18 and 2:8. In these verses, the context shows that the one referred to died and later returned to life. Thus, these verses cannot refer to God because he has never died. (Habakkuk 1:12) However, Jesus died and was resurrected. (Acts 3:13-15) He was the first human to be resurrected to immortal spirit life in heaven, where he now lives “forever and ever.” (Revelation 1:18; Colossians 1:18) Jesus is the one who performs all resurrections thereafter. (John 6:40, 44) Therefore, he was the last one to be resurrected directly by Jehovah. (Acts 10:40) In this sense, Jesus can properly be called “the First and the Last. At Isaiah 44:6, Jehovah says: “I am the first and I am the last. There is no God but me.” Here Jehovah highlights that he is the everlasting true God; besides him, there is no other. (Deuteronomy 4:35, 39) In this case, then, the expression “the first and the last” has the same meaning as “the Alpha and the Omega |

Crysthaniel: How confusing you are bruv, Yahweh alone says He's the First and the Last, there's no God but Him, Christ says He's the First and Last.. Isaiah 41:4 here Yahweh again said He's the First and the Last without adding that there's no god besides Him... Now you claim Jesus is a god implying that Jesus is another god whereas the bible verse you just used said Yahweh said there's no God except Him. You attested to the fact that Jehovah said He's the everlasting true God beside him there's no other. So then that makes Jesus A false god since there's no other God except Yahweh. |

zodiakzax:Hmmmmmmmmmm well,true Christianity is about maturity,deep respect and mild temper. 1Peter 3:15 You can say whatever you like since it's your nature of response to thought provoking questions, but if you're not ready to distinguish or point out the religious group that's following Jesus' footsteps today i guess there is no need disturbing your brains. But know today that the only reason that the Pharisees and other religious groups in ancient Israel were persecuting the Christians is because they were claiming to be the one and only source to divine wisdom,therefore if you can't say the same thing but antagonising the group making such claim then i'll take it that you belong to that ancient persecutors of Christians. Because they can't point to a single platform for divine wisdom whereas the Christians on the other hand kept saying "ONLY we have the truth". |

zodiakzax:Your boiling intestine can't do a single thing to us again now because America is the Caesar of today and they've declared FREEDOM of expression and worship! I know if not for America's declaration, persons like you can kill someone just for professing his/her faith publicly. I wonder why you can't speak politely or tactfully while expressing your view about faith. Why can't you just say what you know and allow others to think over it? Yet you're claiming to be one of the followers of the most tolerable individual who ever lived on this planet (Jesus). Well for your information, true Christians go about their respective businesses without antagonising other religious groups. Whenever they are having a debate with those who don't share their belief, they try to speak with deep respect and not with abuses or curses simply because the other person disagreed with them on sacred matters.

johnw47:If you can't point to the religious group that's unitedly following the pattern of the first century Christians today then you're either saying Jesus has no united subjects or Jesus is a confusionist. We strongly believe that our Master,Lord and King Jesus Christ has been enthroned in heaven and He is directing the activities of His earthly followers,who are doing everything He commanded them with oneness of speech and thought. 1Corinthians 1:10 Philippians 2:2 |

zodiakzax:I wonder if a single person will respond positively to the first century Christians, if this is how they were preaching to other intelligent creatures like themselves who already have their own respective religious backgrounds. After curses,abuses and furious comments with vicious anger,then the next thing is "Run Run Run,repent from your unbelieve" OK oooooo,there are thousands of different religious groups claiming Christians having conflicting teachings and contradicting doctrines, that's why i asked earlier "POINT TO or MENTION the name of that ORIGINAL Christian group that honesthearted individuals should RUN RUN RUN to" at least to learn how true Christianity is to be practiced,and the next thing is curses and abuses.

zodiakzax: Yahweh said "You are gods",you are all sons of the Most High" Psalms 82:6. (sons ,plural) Jesus Christ quoted Psalms 82:6 and said "I am God's Son" John 10:34-36. Therefore, Jesus Christ. is a god because God's sons are gods. Yahweh never said his sons are false gods. Because U refused to swallow your pride & accept the bitter pill of truth, U & your crew of LIARS are the ones who "makes Jesus a false god" Una mumu done do !! |

Crysthaniel:I don't worry about whatever they say my brother because i've been a Muslim before and i can remember how i usually treat evangelizers back then. But now that i'm a Christian, i only pity them because i can testify that they have burning zeal for God but not according to accurate knowledge. Just imagine Christians arguing furiously but can't point to a religious group that's practicing what they want the person they're arguing with to notice their activities and get the sense of true Christianity. Yet they're arguing bitterly with intense annoyance. Romans 10:2,3 1 Like |

major466:Just say "Jehovah's Witnesses doctrines contradicts that of today's churches" but regarding what the Bible REALLY teach, there is nothing as in NOTHING that Jehovah's Witnesses omitted! All those churches are following the pattern of their human founder and when the founder dies his/her predecessors continues with whatever he/she lays down as doctrines for them,they only opt for other fast money making techniques and filling the places of worship with crowd. But Jehovah's Witnesses have changed so many things that the said founder started with during the late nineteenth centuries, this made me believe that the group belongs not to Russell but to someone far greater than Charles Taze Russell! Certainly the group is following ONE invisible person who is changing all the manmade doctrines that those forerunners of the group couldn't figure out during their lifetime! That's why Jehovah's Witnesses have been able to standout as the One and Only different group from all the religions of the world! John 17:14-19 |

zodiakzax: I can see how U cherish your mumu doctrine. The Isaiah 48:16b , is not a continuous speech from the first sentence of v16 (or even v15 or any preceding verse), neither was the statement attributed to Yahweh or anyone. By divine inspiration, Prophet isaiah wrote down a prophecy about a futuristic event. That verse never said Yahweh sent himself ,rather, Yahweh sent some one HE (Yahweh) had endowed with holy spirit.
