  • Jehovah's Witnesses: looking at the Bible why do you still believe that Jesus is not your creator?

    [John 8:24]

    Jesus said: ''Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I AM HE, you will die in your sins''.

    [Exodus 3:14]

    And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.

    [John 8:58]

    Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM.

    [Isaiah 48:12]

    Listen to Me, O Jacob, and Israel, My called: I AM HE, I AM THE FIRST, I AM ALSO THE LAST.

    [Isaiah 44:6]

    Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I AM THE FIRST, and I AM THE LAST; and beside me there is no God.

    [Revelation 1:17-18]

    And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I AM THE FIRST and THE LAST: I am he that liveth, and was dead (that's Jesus speaking); and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

    [Isaiah 9:6]

    For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and His Name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

    [John 14:8-9]

    Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.”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?''

    Isaiah 45:21-22]

    there is no other God besides Me, a just God and a Savior; there is none besides Me. “Look to Me, and be saved, all you ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other

    [John 20:28-29]

    And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed

    Jesus (Yah-shua or Yahweh-shua) = Jehovah Saviour

    Jehovah = Yahweh

    Jesus is the same Jehovah revealing Himself in a body of flesh for our redemption, giving up His Godliness, simply to feel the way we feel, taking our position, to show us the way we also should walk, He loves us so much that He gave up His deity and humbled Himself to be tortured and killed for you (my fellow Jehovah's witnesses) and me. But He has been there since the beginning of time....all was created by Him alone (John1:10) as you know already there is only One Creator and He is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrew 13:8).

    So Jesus is the visible manifestation of God for our redemption (He is one, there is no trinity or a double divinity as you guys say the Word and God are two different things...!)

    In the Hebrew version of John 1:1 ''The Word'' is referred as ''Dabar'' (The One Who Speaks).

    My advice: don't get carried away by your own interpretations...just believe in the Bible only and don't turn and live in the shadow of men made creeds. Please don't get offended, just believe in the Bible!

    [John 5:23]

    that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father.

    - the Son of God is intended as God as a man, Jesus is the visible manifestation of the Father not a second person or a second Divine God to worship...

    [1Timothy 3:16]

    The Mistery of Godliness:

    And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:

    God was manifested in the flesh,

    Justified in the Spirit,

    Seen by angels,

    Preached among the Gentiles,

    Believed on in the world,

    Received up in glory.

    Amen

  • Show me an example in the Bible where someone is baptized in the trinitarian formula!?

    No one has ever been baptized in the trinitarian formula. The correct baptism is only in Jesus Christ name.

    Acts 2 :37-38

    Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost

    Acts 10:47-48

    Surely no one can refuse the water for these to be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we did, can he? And he ordered them to be baptized IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST. Then they asked him to stay on for a few days.

    Acts 19:5

    When they heard this, they were baptized IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS

    Acts 4:12

    Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is NONE OTHER NAME under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

    Galatians 3:27

    For as many of you as have been BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST have put on Christ.

    Romans 6:3-4

    Know ye not, that so many of us as WERE BAPTIZED INTO JESUS CHRIST were baptized into his death?

    Therefore WE ARE BURIED WITH HIM by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

    Colossians 3:17

    And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, DO ALL IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him.

    That Matthew 28:19 was clearly forged and manipulated by trinitarians at Nicaea 325 AD. The Catholic Church was prosecuting all those who rejected the Holy Trinity. Where did any of the apostles or prophets ever taught of a TRINITY??? THE WORD TRINITY IS NOWHERE FOUND IN THE BIBLE. It is ONE GOD manifesting HIMSELF in different forms!!!....THERE IS NO TRINITY!!!

  • If the Bible says women shall not preach why do you let them preach? Do you truly believe in the Bible?

    ok...a woman can ''prophesy'' (she can predict something by divine revelation) but cannot preach or teach or exercise authority over a man. Nor in the Church nor at home. Do you believe in the Bible or do you believe in your own traditions?...I presume you believe in your own traditions!!!

    1 Corinthians 14:33-35

    For God is not a God of disorder but of peace—as in all the congregations of the Lord’s people. Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church

    The reason: 1 Timothy 2:11-14

    A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner

    Why do people reject biblical teachings and claim themselves to believe in Jesus? I can't understand!!!

  • The Holy Trinity is a man made doctrine, it does not have any biblical foundation: did you know that?

    People are failing to understand that the Bible talks about one God Who manifests Himself in different forms. As a pillar of fire, as a pillar of cloud, as powerful light (over Saul in Acts 22:6-9 please read), as a man (Jesus Christ), as Holy Spirit in us, we call Him Father because He calls us children. Nowhere in the Bible the apostles ever taught or mentioned Trinity...we have only one God...not three gods.

    Also to be saved we need to first repent and then be baptized in the NAME OF JESUS CHRIST not in a trinitarian formula!!! That Matthew 28:19 was added and misused! The name of the Father is Jesus, the name of the Son is Jesus, the name of the Holy Spirit is Jesus. THERE IS NO OTHER NAME ON EARTH THROUGH WHICH WE CAN BE SAVED (Acts 4:12) after Jesus gave His apostles the duty to baptize in the NAME of.....they then put His teaching in practice and (they know better than all of us I guarantee you) and were baptizing in JESUS CHRIST NAME! (Acts 2:38; Acts 19:5; Acts10:48) and whatever you do in deed or in word do all in the NAME OF THE LORD JESUS (Col. 3:17)

    ONE LORD, one faith, one baptism (Ephesians 4:5)

    (Isaiah 9:6) talking about Jesus - For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, EVERLASTING FATHER, Prince of Peace.

    The apostle Philip asked Jesus where is the Father and Jesus told Him I am the Father (John 14:8-9)

    I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD AND THERE IS NO ONE ELSE BESIDE ME (1Kings8:60) (Isaiah 45:5-6)
