    Questions about JW’s

    I'm confused, I don't believe you did rest your case, all you did is make an assertion, you stated "To be Christian is to to be born from above by Spirit, to be given a new heart and a new spirit", I do not find this expressed anywhere in scripture, you cited John 3 and Ezekiel 36 but gave no...

    Questions about JW’s

    I didnt use Webster dictionary, I used Joseph Thayer definition in his lexicon, which I the best lexicon of the NT in history. Where in John 3 and Ezekiel 36 does it define the term Christian?

    Questions about JW’s

    I missed this one by mistake. FALSE, we do not view all other versions of the bible to be false, in fact no translation of the bible is 100% correct, not even the NWT, only the orginal Hebrew and Greek manuscripts are correct and inspired, all bibles are simply translations 'of' the inspired...

    Questions about JW’s

    As someone else highlighted, not believing that Jesus is the 'one God' does not mean you are not Christian. The term 'Christian' was penned and applied to someone who was a follower of Christ, thus, anyone who follows Christ is a Christian according to the definition. There is nothing in the...

    Questions about JW’s

    I'm one of Jehovah's witnesses and thought I'll quickly address the points you made, for the benefit of others, as some are inaccurate. FALSE. We accept that Jesus is God, in a certain sense (Isaiah 9:6, John 10:28, Heb 1:8), we simply do not accept him as the 'one God'. Scripture is clear that...

    Questions about JW’s

    I think you have JW's mixed up with Mormons from the sounds of it. JW's don't take money from anyone and do not require anyone to pay a dime when doing missionary service all expenses are paid by the organisation, on the other hand, Mormon do require you to pay 10k upon missionary service, hence...

    Questions about JW’s

    Hello friend, you're mixing up JW's with Mormons. JW's typically read the New World Translation (NWT), the authorship of which is unknown. The Mormon bible was created by Joseph Smith, the JW's have no affiliation with him or his bible whatsoever. JW's do not believe Satan has corrupted Gods...

    Three Gods or one? Explain the Trinity.

    The issue with your explanation and your previous one is that God is ONE who is THREE PERSON, those separate persons have different functions, i.e the Son and the Father, he is NOT one person who has multiple functions, which your examples imply. A man can be a husband, father, son, brother...

    Are you a Trinitarian, and if so, can you defend the doctrine?

    My truth doesn't come from the WT society it comes from the bible. Moreover, the stance on blood transfusion has not changed the WT society still maintain that blood transfusion goes contrary to what the bible teaches, "to keep abstaining...from blood" (Acts 15:28,29) so you must have misread...

    Are you a Trinitarian, and if so, can you defend the doctrine?

    I thank you for you honest heartfelt response but I am certain that my faith and doctrine is correct, not that I'm saying that I would ignore hard evidence which disagrees with my faith. I've heard this argument before but never really could understand why it was an issue, it's more of a...

    Are you a Trinitarian, and if so, can you defend the doctrine?

    I would not say Yahweh is just God's covenant name but his personal name altogether. The scriptures, to me, are clear, Yahweh/Jehovah is God name regardless of any covenant or not, Exodus 3:15 states, "Then God said once more to Moses: “This is what you are to say to the Israelites, ‘Jehovah the...

    My response to nwl regarding Hebrews 1:1,2 and other issues.

    If Jesus was his own messenger then his wasn't a messenger, since the word "messenger" implies a detachment from the source. You can't be both YHWH and the messenger of YHWH since being a messenger of someone implies you are not that one. Suggesting Jesus is YHWH and the messenger or YHWH is...

    My response to nwl regarding Hebrews 1:1,2 and other issues.

    You misunderstand my position, I do not believe Jesus life started on earth, I believe Jesus life started prior to earth and that he was the first thing ever created by the Father. I believer the Father was alone and then created Jesus, the Father then created all things through Jesus. You...

    My response to nwl regarding Hebrews 1:1,2 and other issues.

    From what you have said above we are in agreement here, "God" -the Father- in Hebrews 1:1 spoke by means of the prophets on many occasions and in many ways in the OT but spoke through his son in the NT times. When God was speaking in Isaiah chapter 44 the context shows he was speaking...

    "... and the Word was GOd. ..."

    I found the post you were talking about and as I expected you again are in the wrong, I'll explain. I never ignored penneds post because it was never addressed to me at all, if he was never talking to me how could I possibly be ignoring him, for one I don't even believe in modalism is correct so...

    "... and the Word was GOd. ..."

    Report me, for what, wanting an answer? Look at things from my position, at least 5 or 6 post ago I asked you a question in regards to 1 Cor 8:4-6, you answer in short was "One, as in united. We have the same thing happen all over the world. Even in scripture. The church is one, yet many..", I...

    "... and the Word was GOd. ..."

    Where in the above did I say I showed anything???? Do you even know what you're writing?? I made a statement, "the Trinity is not explicitly taught in scripture but rather has to be pieced together by reading all scripture", you denied this so I asked for evidence, no your claiming I didn't show...
