Please tell us, according to your knowledge of scripture why Jesus came. The big picture is always a good one to have.
What was his purpose?
You'll have to translate this one...sorry, I haven't a clue as to what you mean by this. o_O
That is because he was 100% human. You can't be 100% human...
Are you seriously listening to yourself? o_O
So it's OK for you to say that just because two individuals are called by the same title that it doesn't mean that they are the same person, but when Jehovah's Witnesses use that same argument about the trinity, it doesn't apply? How convenient...
This is another classic example of reading without comprehension. This is telling us that Jesus (whom you trinitarians classify as the Amighty in human form) needed to be "obedient".....to whom? Why would one part of God need to be obedient to another equal part of himself?
Then God "exalted"...
Show me this half man half God in scripture please.
Where does it say that God has a dual nature whilst bearing three heads? He sounds like a freak!
When Jesus returned to heaven, why did he still call the Father "my God"? (Rev 3:12) Was the dual nature still there in heaven? Does one part...
No contradiction when you consider the timeframe.
When did Jesus say that he was given "all authority in heaven and on earth"? It was before his return to heaven. As Michael, he did not have such authority at the time when disputing about Moses body. On earth he had been anointed as Messiah...
Or it was a deliberate ignore by you because of your pre-conceived ideas about the trinity.
Look at that verse from the Complete Jewish Bible?.....
Luke 4:8...."Yeshua answered him, “The Tanakh says, ‘Worship Adonai your God and serve him only.’”
Jesus was quoting Deut 6:13 (rememeber he...
Because Jesus is not the only "son of God". That is why he is called the "firstborn".
There is no confusion if you remove the trinity. Instead of trying to make the rest of scripture support this erroneous doctrine, you just have to know the simple truth.
The Angels are called "sons of God"...
But I'd like to address these points, because the twisted way that conclusions are reached, have more to do with promoting Christendom's version of events than the events themselves. If you take the trinitarian glasses off, these scriptures mean something else entirely. Cutting and pasting...
There is a difference between debating in a respectful manner and interspersing posts with childish ridicule and dishing the dirt in an effort to humiliate and discredit your opponent. Debates have rules...you don't know how to debate like an adult.
If you have to resort to the kinds of...
It was Gen 3:15......
"I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.” (ESV)
The identity and of the players in this scenario remained a mystery for centuries.
This prophesy is addressing...
When God confronted the pair with their sin, each blamed the other and Adam even blamed God for giving him the woman. (Gen 3:8-15) There is not one single expression of remorse from either of them, nor is there any sacrifice made to God as an expression that they were one bit sorry for what they...
1 Thessalonians 4:13-17.....But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. For...
No....JW's preach a different gospel to Christendom's interpretation of the NT...that would be because Christendom has never taught the truth about Jesus.
It's quite simple. The Bible itself gives the formula for calculating the time of Jesus' return as king of the kingdom.
It's the same...
"Hell" in the Bible is a translation of the Hebrew "Sheol" and the Greek "Hades". Sheol is translated in the Septuagint as "hades" yet the Jews have no teaching about "hell" according to Christendom's version. Sheol was the place where all the dead went, both good and bad. There was no conscious...
Yes he was.
The NWT is not the only translation that renders this verse as "the firstborn of all creation". The NASB, ESV and YLT all translate it that way.
Again the NWT is not the only translation to render the verse this way. It clearly says that he is the "beginning of God's...
Let me show you why it's not. And I won't use the NWT once. I will take these one at a time to show you how wrong our critics are and how distorted the information is that is put up as proof that our beliefs are unscriptural. I will not cut and paste, but answer in my own words.
These verses do...
@Yoshua, please read the verse in context....
1 Thessalonians 4:13-17...."But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will...
