You stated "We have never viewed him as "just human".' Now you change your mind stating he was human. I guess the light is shining brighter via your posts.
That statement was given to the eleven ONLY. It does not apply to everyone. You don't get to preach. If you understood the purpose of the apostles, you would know that. Unfortunately, you are an unauthorized preacher. The wolves that Jesus spoke about.
Ah please, outside the bible? I can reference old Watchtowers that quote bible scripture right in the article stating Jesus had two natures, was divine and needed to be more than a mere man to be a ransom sacrifice.
The original Christianity taught by the son of God is to do the todah in memory...
So the word worship regarding Jesus that is found in your 1961 NWT and your articles of incorporation are just there for fun?
You need to seriously examine your roots before making statements like that.
Yep. The light shining brighter is a good excuse for covering errors. It's a good excuse for being fed spiritual junk food for so long. How do you know that you are not being fed spiritual junk food now? It shows that you have a God of confusion. Well, I shouldn't say that. It simply shows that...
So what you're implying is that your guys didn't have a clue when translating the first addition of the NWT and fed those JW's spiritual junk food in 1961. And prior to that you used the KJV which states Jesus is God. Where are those JW's?
Oh boy. They placed their salvation on guys issuing...
Yah, let's use the 1961 edition of the New World Translation where it render Hebrews 1:6 to say that we should worship Jesus. I like that one.
Seems your spiritual food givers (the Governing Body) overlooked that one. It took them 10 years to see the boo-boo and remove it in 1971 to conform to...
Seems that you don't need a reply from me as you have the ultimate source, the everlasting father Jesus, at your personal disposal. Why don't you ask Jesus to give you a personal interpretation of Matthew 23. I'm sure he can give you the definition of a Jewish father.
Let us know what he says.
Oh boy. Another one that needs help. There were no Catholic, Orthodox or Coptic priests in the crowd that Jesus was preaching to, were there? So it means something else. Do you have any idea what Jesus was referring to? Or will you cling to the erroneous belief that it refers to Catholic...
A little Catholic trivia for you. The Word of God is carried in at the beginning of Mass but you'll notice it is not carried out. That's your job after hearing the Word of God at Mass.
You have son talking to father. One person of the Trinity communicating with the other.
God does as he pleases. If Jesus decides to do the will of the father, no problem.
In Christianity, there's no soul sleep. I'll let you ponder that.
Give me your definition of Almighty God. We'll go from...
The NWT is what leads you down the wrong path. Retranslating the bible to match your doctrine is pure genius on the part of the governing body, especially when you were incorporated to worship Jehovah and Jesus.
It would be a feast day celebrated near the end of June according to your Orthodox liturgical calendar as well as the Catholic liturgical calendar.
The birthdays of John the Baptist (the Voice) and Jesus (the Word) are celebrated. The rest are honored on their date of death.
