Hey, CB, did you know that:the phrase “I am” of yours occurs almost 1500 times in the BibleHow many of those times is it referring to Jesus?The fact that you can find the words “I am” with Jesus and hundreds of other people makes sense mathematically given the thousands of words the Bible contains.

Quote Exo 3:14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. Quote John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. Quote Jesus did not say Before Abraham was, I was. This is how the JW's twist His words. CB, the Bible…[Read more]

Quote Or should we find out what scripture says?Nick, i know what scripture says. All through scripture from beginning to end, we see that Jehovah is a God of justice. He is just. He is fair.

Quote David, if you think the Watchtower are genuinely persecuted, you need to get some perspective. Read up on the christians in China, for example, who are tortured, imprisoned and die for their faith in Jesus. What WT has ever died for their faith in Jesus? Do they even have one? They invest so much energy in contrasting Him from “God”, and…[Read more]

Quote Obviously, the mere use of “ego eimi” does not equate one to the “I Am” of Exodus 3:14.E.g.,Q: Are you t8?A: I am.Of course I am not saying I am God.The preceding sentence has I am” in it twice, so am I secretly saying I am God for those who have eyes to see?The answer is no.Have a good day, I know I am.exactly. AS I said before,The “I a…[Read more]

Quote “If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember the word that I said unto you, the servant is not greater than his lord, if they have persecuted…[Read more]

Quote JWs hate Catholicism, so being a Catholic must be extremely holy.He he.Jesus followers were hated because they were “no part of the world.”Catholics are decidedly a part of the world. In fact, they joined church and stated and basically married the world. It went from Christians being hated and persecuted to the “Christians” coming into…[Read more]

Quote Quote LOL .. so David… are you saying, that because a lot of people hate the JW's, that this is proof that you guys are the true brethren of Christ? hehehePhoenix, what I had said was this:if you aren't persecuted, or don't come against various trials because of your beliefs, you may want to ask yourself some hard questions. I am simply…[Read more]

I googled “true.”I found true poker, true love, true wealth, true color, etc.Does that mean that other poker is false?That other love is false?That other wealth is false?Much of this has to do with the erroneous idea that if something is called the “only true” whatever, everything else of that bunch is false.Quote # Were the apostles self…[Read more]

(Psalm 115:3-7) “But our God is in the heavens; Everything that he delighted he has done. 4 Their idols are silver and gold, The work of the hands of earthling man. 5 A mouth they have, but they cannot speak; Eyes they have, but they cannot see; 6 Ears they have, but they cannot hear. A nose they have, but they cannot smell. 7 Hands are t…[Read more]

One concordance gives the meaning of elohim this way: “Elohim, G-d (plural of majesty; plural in form but singular in meaning, with a focus on great power); g-ds (true grammatical plural); and person characterized by greatness of power, mighty one, great one, judge” (Zondervan NIV Exhaustive Concordance).The word God applies to Jehovah, thousands…[Read more]

Quote Jesus used two of God's titles to describe Himself:”I am” and “the First and the Last”I'm starting a thread on the “I am” nonsense.

Here's an interesting page on Heb 1:8:http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/newworldtranslation/hebrews1.8.htm

Quote but there is only One ”true” God – then Yeshua is, by default, a false god.. Looked at objectively, no other conclusion is acceptable.Based on the Bible and the meaning of “god,” you are wrong Is 1:18.Because if what you say is true, then the angels are false gods (mighty ones). The judges of Israel who were called gods (mighty ones) wer…[Read more]

Quote Again is not the Holy Spirit Jesus Spirit, Jesus is a person isnt he?It is God's holy spirit, that he had to GIVE to Jesus. It is something he possesses. It is not him.You ask to questions above which do not coincide with each other.Yes, Jesus is a person.The holy spirit is God's holy spirit, not God himself. Most definitions of “god” if…[Read more]

Quote DavidAsk your self how many Spirits of God are there?The Bible says “ONE SPIRIT”. God is Spirit!So if you are worshipping God you are worshipping Spirit.Are you not?This is somewhat circular reasoning. And you did not address anything I actually said.You say that in the Bible the holy spirit is worshipped because God is worshipped. Yet,…[Read more]

CB, please at least read the above post.Please.The scriptures do often speak of Jesus as being the first in a certain respect. I wonder if that could be connected to Jesus being the first and the last? The context indicates that the answer is yes. Or, it's just a great coincidence. Anyway, please at least read what I wrote above. I feel it is…[Read more]
