Hey T8, Now that Nick is gone, will you be on here more? Will there be a replacement?Why he is called “the Word.” The name (or, perhaps, title) “the Word” (Joh 1:1) apparently identifies the function that God’s firstborn Son performed after other intelligent creatures were formed. A similar expression is found at Exodus 4:16, where Jehovah s…[Read more]

Was Jesus Divine on Earth?Although I've tried to discuss this before, none of these questions received an actual responce.The apostle John tells us that “the Word became flesh.” Not part flesh and part God, not merely clothed with flesh, but became or now was flesh. Likewise the apostle Paul testifies that “God sent forth his Son, born of woman…[Read more]

Sorry, somehow I missed the rest of that:”The Emphatic Diaglott. In 1902 the Watch Tower Society came to be the copyright owners, sole publishers, and distributors of The Emphatic Diaglott. This version of the Christian Greek Scriptures was prepared by the English-born Bible translator Benjamin Wilson, of Geneva, Illinois. It was completed in…[Read more]

The original? Are you referring to the Emphatic Diaglott Kenrch? It's true that it is an excellent translation. Jehovah's Witnesses don't print a lot of different Bibles. As far as I can tell, there's only been about 3 or 4. The following may be of interest to you.”The Emphatic Diaglott.

Hello Kenrch,This difference comes from a variance in the manuscripts used.Scholars recognize two manuscript sources. Many translations are based primarily on the Alexandrian Text while the King James and New King James are largely from the Textus Receptus or Received Text.Both readings of Rev. 22:14 are seem to be in harmony with related texts in…[Read more]

Sultan, did you know that the symbol of the cross, the one on your Bible and on your podium on your avatar is a pagan symbol, and a false one?Because I'm kindof under a time crunch here, I'll answer your question as you answered mine: It means what it means.

1 CORINTHIANS 8:5-6“For even though there are those who are called “gods,” whether in HEAVEN or on earth, just as there are MANY “gods” and many “lords,” THERE IS ACTUALLY TO US ONE GOD the FATHER, out of whom all things are, and we for him; and there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are, and we through him.”What does this mean to you?

Hi Ashamanjim,There is now only one administrator at heaven.Net, “t8” and he, like Nick Hassen, the other Administator who is now gone, doesn't hold to any church, but believes that all churches or organized religion is false.The people on here, as far as I can tell, are half like t8 and Nick, believing that you don't have to be a part of any…[Read more]

Was Jesus Divine on Earth?The Scriptures make it clear that Jesus was entirely human from his birth until his death. John did not say that the Word was merely clothed with flesh. He “became flesh” and was not part flesh and part God. If Jesus had been human and divine at the same time, it could not have been said that he had been “made a littl…[Read more]

Quote Christ was more than just a man, and that's why I quoted Col 2:9 “For in Him all thefullness of Deity dwells in bodily form” The text says all the fulness of deity in bodily form. Yes, Sultan, but what does this scripture mean in light of the other scriptures I provided that you refuse or are unable to comment on?Quote David Jesus has a…[Read more]

The fact that Jehovah is referred to as the only true God, doesn't make Jesus a false god of course. But compared to Jehovah God, how mighty are the judges of the earth, the angels, Satan, or even Jehovah's Son, Jesus? Only Jehovah is mighty compared to all others. Only Jehovah is called Almighty in the Bible and so the Bible writers could say…[Read more]

Quote David,You say alot, but yet not much. The Bible says that in the beginning the Word was with God. It does not say this about angels or anyone else refered to as a god. So if the Word was with God and was a god as your translation erroniously translates it That's two Gods in heaven in the beginning. Polytheism!(we can discuss this further…[Read more]

God’s Heart. Jehovah reveals that he has affections and emotions, the Bible describing him as having a “heart.” At the time of the Flood “he felt hurt at his heart,” regretting that men had rejected his righteous rule, making it necessary for him to turn from being their benefactor to becoming their destroyer. (Ge 6:6) By contrast, God’s “he…[Read more]

What is the figurative heart, Kenrch?Here are some thoughts:Motivation, the impelling force behind our conduct, is a further vital aspect of the inner person, as represented by the “heart.” Thus, those making contributions for the construction of the tabernacle “came, everyone whose heart impelled him.” (Ex 35:21, 26, 29; 36:2) Wicked Haman “…[Read more]

The Bible makes clear that Jehovah “is a spirit,” and he also has a spirit. Several times the expression “Jehovah's spirit” appears in the Bible, and of course many more times we hear of Jehovah spirit or holy spirit.So those are two meanings of the words spirit.Then, theres another one you just mentioned: the impelling force that issues from a…[Read more]

Quote Quote(1 Cor 8:4) … and that there is none other God but one.(1 Cor 8:6) But to us there is but one God, the Father …(Gal 3:20) Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.(1 Tim 2:5) For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;(Mal 2:10) Have we not all one father? hath not one God…[Read more]

Hey Sultan, how are you?Quote David,The apostle John did not write the Word was a god. The New World translation says that. Which of course is polytheism. Two gods in heaven at the same time. The Bible says in Col. 2:9,” For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form.”. The scriptures testify of Christ being all the fulness of diety in…[Read more]

To not commit the fallacy of oversimplification and for clarity, I think it should be mentioned that the Hebrew word ru´ach and the Greek pneu´ma, which are often translated “spirit,” have a number of meanings. All of them refer to that which is invisible to human sight and which gives evidence of force in motion. The Hebrew and Greek words are u…[Read more]

I'm sorry if I offended somehow Kenrch. That was not my intent–I wanted simply to know what others thought.As I've already said, Jehovah's Witnesses are disciples (followers) of Christ, not any man–meaning we follow the teachings of Christ.If the IBS claim to be disciples of Charles T. Russel, a great “man” who has been dead for some time, but…[Read more]

Hi Kenrch.You've asked me about the millenial reign a couple of times. There isn't a lot written here, but this would be a good place to have such a discussion.REVELATION 20:1-81 And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven with the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. 2 And he seized the dragon, the original serpent, who is the Devil…[Read more]
