Isaiah 54:5″For your husband is your Maker, Whose name is the LORD of hosts; And your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel, Who is called the God of all the earth.Very interesting fact about the above scripture is this:”For thy Maker is thine husband – Both these words, 'maker' and 'husband,' in the Hebrew are in the plural number. But the form is…[Read more]

Irene,Why do you think I put up all those scriptures about the deity of Christ, so that I could prove He wasn't deity?

Hi Paul,The Firstborn of Col 1:15 had to exist as the 'firstborn' before all things were created by Him, so He was born before the ages. The Nicene Creed agrees with this, so does the Chalcedonian Creed and the Anathasian Creed.Nicene Creed:Traditional WordingI believe in one God,the Father Almighty,maker of heaven and earth,and of all things…[Read more]

Mike,Quote I know that because he was born at all, it means he had a beginning.You appraise supernatural birth by natural birth understandings and you can't derive laws of the supernatural from the laws of the natural.

Mike,All fathers by default had a beginning and did not exist at one point, so therefore, by your default logic, the Heavenly Father did not exist at one point? Why compare the supernatural to the natural? Created was not used in reference to the Son, ever, except that all things were created through Him.Scripture tells us that Jesus was the…[Read more]

Interesting Jack,Quote Again, the text they used says “Christ” but they omitted it and substituted “Jehovah” in its place.I wonder why they did that.Is it your opinion that the Father is not called YHVH but only the Son is?Kathi
Lightenup replied to the topic Blatant corruption in the NWT in the forum Bible Texts & Translations 14 years, 11 months ago
Jack,So when you say “Hear, O Israel: YHWH our God is one Being.” Are you indicating that YHVH is one who is? Or are you saying that YHVH is one person? Or one existence? I am not sure what you mean when you say 'one Being.' Can you help me here to understand you?Thanks,Kathi
Lightenup replied to the topic Blatant corruption in the NWT in the forum Bible Texts & Translations 14 years, 11 months ago
Hi Jack,I don't find the word 'being' in the Hebrew text. YHVH is written twice in the Hebrew text. I don't think your translation is the best.I think the better translation would be either:Hear, Israel: Jehovah is our God; Jehovah is one:orHear, Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah;I don't know Hebrew grammar so is Jehovah the subject of a…[Read more]

Pierre, A son of man is another one who is man.A son of God is another one who is God.That is what was meant by Charles, I think, and that is what I agree with.Kathi

Mike,The word born is only a dead giveaway to Him being a Son and that He has a Father. That is as far as you can take that. You can't know how long He existed before He was born merely by the idea that He was born.Jesus is God, the Son because He is the Son of God, the Father. Since they are both deity beings, they are both most high in their…[Read more]
