    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    Ea the divine name YHWY not Jehovah. Jehovah was man made by superstitious Jewish scribes who felt they would blaspheme if they said the true name of YHWY so they joined YHWY to the word for Lord Adonai and it BECAME Jehovah. Jehovah is not Gods actual name, it was man made.

    Michael Servetus practiced astrology. You really want to use him as a guide on the bible? Bs what's more plausible, A few men in a span of 1,900 years supposedly knew the truth, or a few men in 1,900 years believed in false doctrine?

    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    If fizzling out means Gods Spirit wasn't upon them, then how can you say Christians who've proclaimed Jesus as God and a Trinity don't have God with them and there message if they haven't fizzled out for over 1,900 years? That is a pretty long time and it doesn't look like that message of truth...

    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    True, and if the Jehovahs Witnesses are so particular to follow Christ, to the point of not having birthdays then why not follow His example as He never called God Jehovah?

    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    True, but as Christians we are commanded to preach the gospel and dispell any false gospel that leads people astray. The Watchtower qualifies so it is our duty to do so.

    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    Christians DO have a clear understanding on these teachings. The understanding is there false. Mistranslated, bias, and error filled when you read the text in context and view it through All of scripture. The Watchtower was started in the late 1800's or around there. So does that mean God was...

    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    John 1:1 So the Watchtower argues that since the second occurrence of theos ("God") in John 1:1 has no definite article ("the") it this refers to a lesser deity who simply has godlike qualities. But must theos ("God") without the ho ("the") refer to someone less than Jehovah? By no means! The...

    Now on to blood transfusions... Many people have died heeding the Watchtowers prohibitions on blood transfusions. Former Jehovahs Witnesses Leonard and Majorie Chretian commented: "(One man told of) the heart rending decision he was forced to make between his religion and his child. His baby boy...

    I shall start off with us having an immaterial soul and spirit if you will. It is true that the Hebrew word for soul Is nephesh and that it can be used as reference to living beings. It can be found in Genesis 2:7. But it is not "limited" to that sense. Genesis 2:7 is simply telling us what man...

    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    So how does Philippians 2:7 say Christ emptied Himself? “Grammatically, Paul explains the ‘emptying’ of Jesus in the next phrase: ‘Taking the form of a servant and coming in the likeness of men’” (Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary). Unlike Adam and Eve, who made an attempt to seize equality...

    There are church's that do not practice what they preach as well as Christians. But whose to blame for those particular hypocrites? The translations that the church uses, the belief in the trinity, or are Those individual churches themselves to blame for their hypocrisy? It's a guilt by...

    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    It is true that no one outside of God can give God anything, since God is the One who owns everything and gives his creatures all that they have. But this says absolutely nothing about God's own inner life and internal communion. For instance, let us assume for the moment that God is a Triune...

    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    People in charity of Christian organizations like Samaritans Purse do share Jesus when oversees or here at home helping people through tragedy. So I don't know where this baseless comment is coming from. Secondly those who study the scriptures from all over the world have shown in the Greek and...

    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    Does the fact that the Holy Spirit not have a name mean He's not an actual person? By no means. Spiritual beings are not always named in scripture. More often than not, they are identified by their particular character-that is for demons they are called "unclean, "wicked", and so forth. Likewise...

    One translator may choose different words or sentences, but the message is identical. Translation is a reliable science of communicating between different languages. Remember, it was God Himself who created all the language barriers in Genesis 11 at the Tower of Babel. God is satisfied that His...

    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    That is very noble and all but the name Jehovah doesn't appear in any legitimate Greek of Hebrew manuscripts. The name Jehovah was made by superstitious Jews who feared taking Gods name in vain, so the superstitious Jewish scribes joined the consonants YHWY with the vowels do Adonai. The result...

    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    So long as you have a translation that speaks the truth. Otherwise you will be deceived by the very book you trust. And the Watchtowers translation has been universally refuted by Greek and Hebrew scholars since it first came out. Just a warning. You seem to love Jesus very much so just be aware...
