The Bible declares that Jesus is God

[Rick B]

A, an or the was never written in the greek language, they were spoken however. One had to know where they belonged. And they are written in the English language.

There is a huge difference--When the NT speaks of the true living God--HO preceded the greek word-THEOS--it was not in the last line of John 1:1--it was in the second line. It did not call the word--Ho Theos) The God---plain Theos = god( small g)

Your argument is a non-sequitur because the author, John, for example in chapter 3 sometimes uses the definite article before Theos (God big G) and sometimes he doesn't. See: biblehub.com/sbl/john/3.htm

 

[Brickjectivity]

You are just repeating your opinion. I already know your lack of exposition or exegesis of John 1:1-18. So I'll repeat my request and see if you will respond this time.

Can you produce any respected Biblical scholarship that agrees with your opinion that Jesus is only the light and someone else is the Word and disagrees with my assertion that John is declaring Jesus being the Word and that same Word is God?

Why don't you start a thread about that? Its a bit off topic as your thread isn't about the opinions of scholars but about what the Bible says, and the prologue of John says Jesus is the light which is from the word and was in the word. You want to switch it into a thread about Matthew Henry's commentary, but that isn't the Bible. That's a commentary.

Why don't you then exegete the passage demonstrating your commentary.

BIBLE FACT--There is one God--YHVH(Jehovah) --always was and always will be. Jesus has a mortal mother--he was NOT God in the flesh--its a lie.

I believe you have no valid concepts about this.

I believe you should state your point. It seems to me that you can't order God around to tell Him He should just incarnate miraculously without a birth when He has decided He wishes to be born instead.

Love is a NEW covenant?

Leviticus 19:18 (ESV Strong's) 18 You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.

Isn't this a covenant of LOVE?

Exodus 20:12-17 (ESV Strong's) 12 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
13 “You shall not murder.
14 “You shall not commit adultery.
15 “You shall not steal.
16 “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
17 “You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor's.”

I believe this is the New Covenant:
2Co 3:6 who also made us sufficient as ministers of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

 

[Muffled]

The JW,s do not teach that only they have love--every mortal has love-- Every mortal has love for family and friends--even Hitler accomplished that--How many have that same love for their enemies?? Not Hitler--Not many. Stop twisting what I say.

I believe you may be right even though you didn't state it very well. The OT covenant is not a covenant of love either even though it contains love. I believe it is a covenant of Works. Obey the law and your will prosper, disobey and you will be cursed.

I believe this is the New Covenant:
2Co 3:6 who also made us sufficient as ministers of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

To be more specific the New Covenant is given as "I will be your God and you will be My people." Jer.31:31-33; Ez.37:24-28 Unconditional, irrevocable, irresistible grace.

 

[metis]

To be more specific the New Covenant is given as "I will be your God and you will be My people." Jer.31:31-33; Ez.37:24-28

That is the Abrahamic Covenant given to Jews that was dovetailed to the 613 Mosaic Laws.

 

[Rick B]

That is the Abrahamic Covenant given to Jews that was dovetailed to the 613 Mosaic Laws.

It looks, to me, that your are mistakenly conflating the Abrahamic Covenant with the Sinaitic Covenant and equating those with what I presented as the promise of what is described as the New Covenant in Jer.31:31-33 and repeated in Ez.37:24-28: "I will be your God and you will be My people". But if you will consider that these passages were quoted by the author of Hebrews as the Covenant which was in promise in the past is now ratified by Christ in His death, burial, resurrection and ascension so that all who are given the gift of repentance and faith are now brought into union with Christ and participate in that New Covenant.

Heb.8:1 Now the main point in what has been said is this: we have such a high priest, who has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, 2 a minister in the sanctuary and in the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man. 3 For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices; so it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer. 4 Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest at all, since there are those who offer the gifts according to the Law; 5 who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, just as Moses was warned by God when he was about to erect the tabernacle; for, “See,” He says, “that you make all things according to the pattern which was shown you on the mountain.” 6 But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises.

7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion sought for a second. 8 For finding fault with them, He says,

“Behold, days are coming, says the Lord,
When I will effect a new covenant
With the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;
9 Not like the covenant which I made with their fathers
On the day when I took them by the hand
To lead them out of the land of Egypt;
For they did not continue in My covenant,
And I did not care for them, says the Lord.
10 “For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel
After those days, says the Lord:
I will put My laws into their minds,
And I will write them on their hearts.
And I will be their God,
And they shall be My people.
11 “And they shall not teach everyone his fellow citizen,
And everyone his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’
For all will know Me,
From the least to the greatest of them.
12 “For I will be merciful to their iniquities,
And I will remember their sins no more.”
13 When He said, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear.

The Old Covenant said "This do and live".
The New Covenant says "Live and do this".

 

[Rick B]

Since God therefore would have a sacrifice for sin, to have one disproportioned to his dignity and justice, had been the same as to have none at all. An infinite sacrifice cannot be offered, but by an infinite person: it is necessary therefore that one of the persons of the Trinity should be this sacrifice; and it was most congruous to the wisdom of God, upon several accounts, that it should be the second. This sacrifice is necessary at least in point of becomingness, as God is the author of all things, and placed them in a rectitude from which they departed by their own folly, and sullied that glory they were created to manifest; it became him to bring things into order again by such a
method, as should manifest his hatred of that disorder sin had introduced into the world, and how strict a guardian he would be of the eternal order of things, and of those sacred laws whereby he governs the world: “It became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the Captain of their salvation perfect through suffering," Heb. ii. 10. As God had made all things for his glory, so it was fit that his Son, becoming the head of the world, should be put in such a posture, as to show forth the glory of God in the most illustrious manner. Now in the sufferings of Christ, the justice of God flames more bright than it could in any creature, and shows itself inflexible against sin; the treasures of his grace are wider opened, than could be in any other act; and his wisdom sparkles more gloriously in bringing men to glory by punishment: and since he made all things, and that for himself, it became him, after the apostasy of man, and the defacing the creation, to restore things in such a way as might conduce most to his own glory, and the happiness of the creature.

IV. Christ only was fit to be this sacrifice. Whatsoever any creature could have done, had been a debt of duty, and that could not have made a compensation for a debt of rebellion; whatsoever a mere creature could do, was by the gift of God, and therefore could not merit any thing at the hand of God; whatsoever is meritorious, must be our own, as well as that which is not due. Besides, from any other hand God would have received less than the offence merited; at the best it would have been but a feigned and partial satisfaction, which had not been congruous to the wisdom and justice of God, since he determined it necessary to have a sacrifice. But Christ in his divine nature “was equal with God," Phil. ii. 6. and therefore in his person was answerable to the dignity of the person offended; and as he was in the form of a servant, and innocent, he offered that which was not due from himself, and upon his own account, to God; for though as a creature he was bound to the obedience of the precepts of the law, yet as an innocent creature he was not obliged to the penalties of the law, suffering was in no wise due upon his own account. And he was without blemish; had he been a criminal, he could not have been a remedy. He had also an alliance with both parties, he could treat with God, as partaking of his glory, and be a sacrifice for man, as partaking of the infirmities of his nature; he had a body to bear the stroke due to a victim, and a divine nature to sustain him under it; he had a human nature to offer as a sacrifice, and a divine nature to render it valuable and infinitely meritorious; being God and man, he wanted (lacked) not a fitness to accomplish so great an undertaking. If he had not been man, he could not have been a sacrifice; and if he had not been God, he could not have been a remedy. (bold mine)
DISCOURSES ON CHRIST CRUCIFIED
OF CHRIST OUR PASSOVER – 1 Cor. v. 7. p.51

It looks, to me, that your are mistakenly conflating the Abrahamic Covenant with the Sinaitic Covenant and equating those with what I presented as the promise of what is described as the New Covenant in Jer.31:31-33 and repeated in Ez.37:24-28: "I will be your God and you will be My people".

No, I did not make any mistake on this. The Abrahamic Covenant was reinforced and elaborated upon at Sinai with Moses' giving of the Law, which repeats the need for circumcision for boys on the 8th day after birth.

Secondly, the Jeer. and Ez. verses deal with the Abrahamic Covenant that relates to Jews, not Gentiles.

But if you will consider that these passages were quoted by the author of Hebrews as the Covenant which was in promise in the past is now ratified by Christ in His death

What the author of Hebrews believed and says is not important to me as it is to you. The Covenant and the Law are incumbent for Jews, not Gentiles, and they cannot be ended according to Torah/Tanakh.

The Old Covenant said "This do and live".
The New Covenant says "Live and do this".

But the latter also applies to the followers of the Abrahamic Covenant: Judaism 101: A List of the 613 Mitzvot (Commandments)

I need you to focus on what I'm asking so I'm going to break this into small chunks by starting here...

The Catholics say you can't read or translate without their clergy, and your Organization says you can't understand what you read in the bible without your Governing Board.

Can you explain the difference to us?

One is lead by Jesus, one is not. We all must make the choice.

WHOA! Didn't you just claim it was the Catholic church that lead your Organization into believing Armageddon would start in 1914, ancient worthies would be resurrected in 1925, and that Armageddon was just a few months off in 1940?

Now you blame this on Jesus?

Can you make up your mind who lead you into believing these things?

The JW teachers encourage all to read the bible daily. They teach--every utterance from God.

You just got through criticizing Catholics for encumbering the free publication of bibles outside of their church. But your Governing Board does the same by claiming no one can understand their bible without them.

Even if the Catholic church had distributed 5 million free copies, your Organization claims no one would have understood anything written in them. So what's the point of your criticism?

"We have just published millions of free bibles! Unfortunately we must wait a few centuries until a Governing Board comes along that can explain what on earth anything written in it means."

Catholicism cannot even understand simple bible milk---It teaches--Do not call any man on earth--FATHER( as a spiritual teacher) God is the holy Father--not the Pope.

Look, I'm not here to defend the Catholic church so your jabs are lost on me, but any Catholic would immediately recognize the inherent hypocrisy in your statement since you've exalted the Governing Board as your spiritual Fathers, if not in name but practice.

In fact, your "Governing Board" could aptly be called "Governing Fathers" given the role they play in your Organization.

So if you tell me you don't call your Governing Board "Spiritual Fathers", I'll tell you about a guy who engages in pre-marital sex but doesn't call it "Fornication".

Statues,icons,graven images forbidden to use in a place of worship. Yet those who listen to catholicism, bow to a graven image above every pulpit. kiss a little icon metal cross.

From the Organization that "channels" the truth and cited spirit medium Johannes Greber as a source in its publications? And as for the cross, note the object in the top left.

Sounds more like the pot calling the kettle black to me.

Actually in John 1 Jesus is the 'Light' not the 'Word'. You have mistakenly mixed in Revelation 19:13 in the middle of citing from John 1. John 1 says the word is God and in him is life, which is the light of men. Jesus is in God. No problem there, but for you apparently its not the declaration that you are searching for. Now then if we look at Revelation 19:13 the word Jesus does not appear but someone whose name is 'Faithful and True'. That's the Logos. That is what gives people power to become sons of God, Jesus included.

I'm not understanding how anyone could separate Jesus from God in these verses either Brickjectivity. I think it's pretty clear John is referring to the same person, Jesus.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

The Word was God, not just in God.

And later we find, in verse 14, that the Word became flesh and dwelt amongst us.

Don't put words in my mouth--I did not say Catholicism was responsible for every error made by the JW teachers. Just some from error filled translations. Over zealousness in the early years caused some of the errors. Thankfully they found the errors and corrected them.
The GB aren't called spiritual Fathers--all spiritual things originate with God.

Mortals could live by Gods will found in the bible as best they could until truth became abundant here in these last days( Dan 12:4)-- All those died--in the last days--most will live to see Har-mageddon come to this earth.

 

[Douglas J.]

All I see here is arguments. How can we learn anything by pointing fingers and deriding each other.

Solomon wrote: Eccl. 7:29 - "This only have I found: God created mankind upright, but they have gone in search of many schemes.", and its meaning is the same in all the different versions of the scriptures.

You may call Him Jesus, but in the common language of the time, ancient Aramaic, He was known as Eashoa. Almost everyone spoke this. In the high tongue of the priests of Israel He was called Yeshua. Not everyone spoke this. I prefer Eashoa, and He called Himself, Al Bar Nasha which is translated as "the Son of Man", or "the Son of Mankind". Eashoa never claimed title to the "Son of God", and He never claimed perfection. In fact in Matthew 19:17 He tells a man, "Why do you ask me about what is good?" "There is only One who is good." Eashoa had a job to do. He followed God, who He called Father, and taught The Way. Not a religion based on man's understanding, but walk of life that benefited everyone, and Eashoa seldom became righteously indignant. For the most part He was tolerant, acceptant, and forgiving.

The greatest question is the one nobody seems to ask is why did the Son of Man have to come at all. What sins (I hate this word. In the ancient languages is was a word that meant failings. All humans have them, but it seems someone wanted to make it sound absolutely terrible) could have been so bad that we would need such a teacher to try and help stabilize society? Why could He also be called the Son of Mankind? How did He get here, and where did He actually come from? How and why did a homeless vagabond gather such following?

In Matthew 23 Eashoa warns against the teachers of the law (the scribes), and the pharisees. These were the religious leaders of that time, but their counterparts have always existed within religion. Everything they do is designed to give them power over people. The scribes write controls in, and the pharisees preach what they want, but live as they wish. This is a simple truth that we can observe today. They stand in judgement of almost everything. This is religion.

By the statement of Solomon, and those of Eashoa, I firmly doubt that anything the hand of man touches can remain untainted by it. If Eashoa did not claim it then who wrote this in, and why? Man wrote it to control the flow, by building walls and dams. A diversion.

Everything that was done, had to be done. How do we find out the truth? The day will come that those things that remain hidden will be revealed. Until then we need to strive to find the truth within a maze of words that have been altered by the hand of man. Is it there? Yes, at least in part, I believe. Will Eashoa return? You bet. He's the answer man. It's His job.

As for religion I think you might find an answer in the book of James. Even in translation the Aramaic and Hebrew influence can be seen in this text. Please take special note of the last two verses.

James 1:19-27:
19 My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, 20 because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. 21 Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.

22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25 But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.

26 Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless. 27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

[Oeste]

Don't put words in my mouth--I did not say Catholicism was responsible for every error made by the JW teachers. Just some from error filled translations.

Don’t put words into mine either. I never claimed you said “every error”.

Here’s what you wrote before:

It has a history of undoing 1750 years of error teachings that got in to translating by Catholicism--this is Fact.

Catholicism translators added false council teachings with little errors.

So, can you tell us which Catholics translation you were using? Also how 1914, 1925, and 1940 worked their way into these translations, and why Catholics weren’t telling us about 1914, 1925 and 1940 since it was their translation to begin with?

Over zealousness in the early years caused some of the errors.

Over zealousness? Who are you claiming was overzealous?? The Catholics or your Organization???

Please explain who was overzealous, what they were overzealous about, how this over zealousness caused them to err, how long the over zealousness lasted, and the steps your Organization took to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Thankfully they found the errors and corrected them.

Wasn’t it “Christendom” that told your Organization the earthly governments would not fall in 1914, that there was no truth to 1925, and that Armageddon would not occur in a few months during 1940? Isn't it true that you could have walked into any Catholic or Protestant church with your Watchtower heralding an imminent Armageddon or resurrection and they would have corrected your publication on the spot?

So why are you thanking your Governing Board for “finding” errors? It was the Holy Spirit working through "Christendom" that found the errors, otherwise we would have believed them just like you did. The difference is that it didn't take us months, years or decades to spot the errors. We found them as soon as they came off the printing presses. We pointed them out to you. We underlined them. We circled them. Sometimes we even highlighted them in bold. We told you they were not scriptural. We witnessed to you day after day, year after year yet you continued to believe them.

But you thank the Governing Board for finding errors decades after Christendom pointed them out, and then you thank them for “correcting” these errors when Christendom had already done so long ago. Remember, it wasn’t “Christendom” that believed in a 1925 resurrection, it was you, and if you had knocked on any well armored Christian door claiming 1925 was God’s truth they would have been more than happy to correct you.

The GB aren't called spiritual Fathers--all spiritual things originate with God.

I know you don't call them spiritual Fathers, KJW! I want to know why your members treat them like Spiritual Fathers and why they act like Spiritual Fathers!

Hotel staff doesn’t call unmarried couples checking out of their hotel rooms “fornicators” do they? Does that make any of these couples less a fornicator?

Your Organization has Spiritual Fathers KJW, you simply call them the Governing Board, just like the hotel calls its fornicators “guests”. A rose by any other name is still a rose, except there is nothing rosy about the hypocrisy rampant in your Organization. The next time you harp on Catholics for using the term “Father” in regards to its priests please remember you have your own.

Mortals could live by Gods will found in the bible as best they could until truth became abundant here in these last days( Dan 12:4)--

Your Organization has already told us no one can understand the bible without their Governing Board. In fact, they refer to the bible as a “closed book”…not in terms of new canon, but in terms of understanding.

Since your Organization claims bible understanding was “closed” before they came along, I don’t see why you or your Organization criticizes Catholics for its “failure” to publish millions of bibles that you claim no one could possibly comprehend or understand.

Also I’m not sure why you consider Daniel 12:4 as a reference or pointer to Watchtower publications. Certainly the “abundant truth” is that 1914 would not see the fall of earthly governments, the ancient worthies rising in 1925, the “curse” of aluminum utensils, that a small nosed man could not have a judicial mind, that Jehovah’s plan for blacks was to make them white, that the generation born 1914 would not taste death, that God lived on the star Alcyone in the constellation Pleiades, that 1940 was only a “few months” before Armageddon, that accepting a kidney transplant was cannibalism, that accepting blood was forbidden, that your spouse’s relations with a beast or same sex partner were not adequate grounds for divorce, that the “two witnesses” in child abuse cases must both be human, that 1975 marked the end of 7,000 years of human existence and Armageddon would follow…the list of goes on and on, with many of your so-called truths still “uncorrected”.

You’ve worked long and hard, door to door, decade after decade zealously distributing literature with one false “truth” after another...so take ownership of your errors KJW. Tell your Organization its not polite nor Christian to blame others for one's own mistakes. It simply makes any defense of your Organization appear all the more incredulous and irrational.

All those died--in the last days--most will live to see Har-mageddon come to this earth.

Look, it’s much more likely that you will grow old, play with your grand kids, or even get hit by a truck than to see Armageddon tomorrow. I think your time is better spent living for God now and preparing for your personal Armageddon than distributing an error laden magazine and shouting "Doomsday!" from a soapbox.

I did see the verse about light, and I don't think any Trinitarian would argue that Jesus is not the light. In fact we consider Jesus the light of the world (John 8:12)

But I also consider Jesus God and don't believe the two mutually exclusive.

This isn't discussing what Trinitarians believe, and its not proving or disproving what they believe. We are talking about what the Bible declares only, and what it declares is peace on earth goodwill towards all, not the creeds. The creeds are not declared in the Bible. That doesn't make them right or wrong, just not declared in the Bible.
