Questions about JW’s

You just demonstrated the shaky ground you guys stand on trying to make tiny markers as being your foundation.

There are many Scriptures that attest to Jesus Christ being God whether you knowledge them or not. Here are some example:s

Be shepherds of the church of God, which He bought with His own blood.

Whose blood? The blood of Jesus! Ergo, Jesus is God Acts 20:28b

"The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel" (which means "God with us"). Mathew 1:23

Isaiah 43:10,11 - “You are My witnesses,” says the Lord, “And My servant whom I have chosen, That you may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, Nor shall there be after Me. I, even I, am the Lord, and besides Me there is no Savior.” Who is the savior? Christ Himself.

Isaiah 44:6- (God is the Redeemer)
2 Peter 1:1 (Jesus is the Redeemer) - “To those who have obtained like precious faith with us by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ”

Isaiah 44:24 - (God created the world by Himself alone)
John 1:3; Colossians 1:16- (Jesus made all things)

John 14:9-11 - Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, 'Show us the Father'?”

John 20:28 - And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!”

Philippians 2:5-7 - Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bond-servant, and coming in the likeness of men.

Colossians 2:9- For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.

Not at all. Call me an ambassador all day long if it makes you feel happy. Reverting to ad hominems in the face of argumentation only belittles your position.

1 Peter 2:6-7
For this is contained in Scripture: "BEHOLD, I LAY IN ZION A CHOICE STONE, A PRECIOUS CORNER stone, AND HE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED." This precious value, then, is for you who believe; but for those who disbelieve, "THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THIS BECAME THE VERY CORNER stone,"

Matthew 21:44
"And he who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will scatter him like dust."

Luke 20:18
"Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces;
but on whomever it falls, it will scatter him like dust."

Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as though it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone, just as it is written, "BEHOLD, I LAY IN ZION A STONE OF STUMBLING AND A ROCK OF OFFENSE, AND HE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED."

1 Peter 2:4-8
And coming to Him as to a living stone which has been rejected by men, but is choice and precious in the sight of God, you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For this is contained in Scripture: "BEHOLD, I LAY IN ZION A CHOICE STONE, A PRECIOUS CORNER stone, AND HE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED."

Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name
under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.

The watchtowers will say
"Oh yes salvation comes "through" Jesus."

They switch,reframe and change everything.

They capitalize on not a lot of people having a firm Biblical foundation of truth. Here comes some people with Bibles who are friendly and confidently proclaiming to others what they think the truth is.

Most people will hear someone out if they are nice and well presented even if they don't necessarily agree with what's being said. Also, most people are too nice turn away a modest gift like a cheap pamphlet. Often people aren't self aware enough to realize that people often have ulterior motives.

I also recommend studying propaganda techniques. Not so that we can use them, but so that we can identify when people are trying to manipulate us with information. Like JWs do - probably without even being aware that they are agents of darkness.

I admit that being aware of the constant onslaught on propaganda from every sector that can influence public opinion makes my view of the world a little jaded. However, it's worth it be armed with the truth. Be innocent as a dove and as wise as a serpent.

Thus declares the LORD who stretches out the heavens, lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him,
. . .
“I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplication, so that they will look on Me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him like the bitter weeping over a firstborn." (Zechariah 12:1, 10)

YHWH states that Israel will look on HIM, the One they have pierced, and mourn -- He identifies HIMSELF as "the One they have pierced" and also indicates that they "will look upon" HIM.

Jesus is very clearly the One who they pierced -- and He also is the One who every eye will see when He returns.

I am an ambassador. For the King. His name is Jesus.

Get on with something meaningful.

Your flyspecks are too tedious

You do not seem like you are up for an honest and upbuilding discussion Absolutely, it seems like you have much hate for JW's despite the fact we as Christians were told to love everyone, even our enemies and to treat people the way we want to be treated. Hopefully I'm wrong.

I don't understand how you've come to that conclusion, the verse states there is "one God the Father", how does that imply Jesus is equal with the Father??

The Father, who is the 'one God', allows Jesus to sit on his throne, other too also share the throne of God, nothing about sitting on the throne of God demands that whoever sits on the throne is equal with God, check the following verses that express others sitting on the throne of God.

(Revelation 3:21) "..To the one who conquers I will grant to sit down with me on my throne, just as I conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne.."

Not true NWL, John 1:1 is "NOT" referring to the Genesis 1:1 beginning and here is why? Both references at Genesis 1:1 and at John 1:1 start out as "in beginning." The definite article "the" is not in the text original text.

So, Genesis 1:1 states, "In beginning" God created the heavens and the earth" John 1:1 states, "In beginning" was the Wor4d, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God," (I don't see the words "a god" anywhere in the text.) I do see, "and the Word was God." Like I said both verses start out with "in beginning."

The main thought in Genesis 1:1 is "WHAT HAPPENED" in the beginning. The main thought at John 1:1 the emphasis is on "WHO EXISTED" in the beginning. So the beginning at Genesis 1:1 is referring to when time began and God created the heavens and the earth. This means that at John 1:1 the beginning antecedes the Genesis "beginning" because God is eternal and He has not beginning.

Just like what He said at Exodus 3:14, "I AM WHO I AM." Or to put it another way, "I EXIST," period. And btw, quit changing what I said about the angels being there with God. The point is the fact that angels "DID NOT" have a hand in creating a darn thing. That's why "BY MYSELF" AND "ALL ALONE" mean just that.

IN GOD THE SON,

Maybe "watchtower" offended him.

Yeah that is a stigma for sure

What is your point?

Flypecks?... I've said nothing to insult you or to hurt you feelings. But obviously for you to say that something I said must have hit a nerve.

Perhaps you should stop trolling and instead get on with something meaningful too.

. . . then hear from heaven, your dwelling place. Forgive and act; deal with everyone according to all they do, since you know their hearts (for you alone know every human heart), so that they will fear you all the time they live in the land you gave our ancestors. (1 Kings 8:39-40)

→ only Yah knows the hearts of all people.

But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because He knew all men, And needed
not that any should testify of man: for He knew what was in man.(John 2:24-25)

→ Jesus knows the heart of all people.

With thanks once again to @posthuman

It appears you are not here for honest discussion, you're simply fighting the bible with the bible which is good for nothing. If you wish to engage with me please pick a scripture or two that you think best supports what you say and we can both discuss it civilly, and not like bible bashers.

Acts 7:55–56; Romans 8:34; Ephesians 1:20; Colossians 3:1; Hebrews 1:3; Hebrews 8:1; Hebrews 10:12; Hebrews 12:2; 1 Peter 3:22; Revelation 3:21; Matthew 22:44; Acts 2:33

55 But he, nfull of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw othe glory of God, and Jesus standing pat the right hand of God. 56 And he said, “Behold, I see qthe heavens opened, and rthe Son of Man standing pat the right hand of God.”

34 tWho is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—uwho is at the right hand of God, vwho indeed is interceding for us.1

20 that he worked in Christ wwhen he raised him from the dead and xseated him at his right hand yin the heavenly places,

Put On the New Self
3 bIf then you have been raised with Christ, seek cthe things that are above, where Christ is, dseated at the right hand of God.

3 He is the radiance of the glory of God and hthe exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. iAfter making purification for sins, jhe sat down kat the right hand of the Majesty on high,

You got her on eggshells too?

Me thinks you are getting routed by Gods word.
Your real is not bible centered so anyone with a bible gets your feelings hurt.

Translation;

"Ma'am that there sword you swing....that thing is too sharp...ouch"
