    Where Did This Belief Come From?

    Jesus answers at John 8:54-55 that he (Jesus) knows Him (God) and observes His 'word' (His saying) John 14:24 B the ' word ' you are hearing is Not mine (Jesus). Jesus is speaking at John 15:3 through the ' word ' Jesus spoke to them. and at John 15:20 to remember the word Jesus said..... Jesus...

    Don't lie to me...

    Hi, God promises that "The tent of God is with mankind... and he will wipe out every tear...the former things have passed away...".Rev 21:4. We should keep in mind that this promise is still in the future. Now however we are still in a period of tribulation "that you may have tribulation [for...

    So Jesus is not God?

    Hello @john bannon, and welcome to Religious Forums! I am honored that you chose my thread for your very first post. We all (if I may presumptuously speak for all) look forward to hearing more from you. “Jesus is not God” has already been accepted as a premise in the OP. I'm not sure how...

    So Jesus is not God?

    Oh dear, oeste, your question has been answered so many times that you no longer see it. Moreover, what you are seeking is not an answer / you are seeking to NOT get answer therefore all answers are invalid to you. From what I read of what you wrote, you are completely at odds with yourself...

    So Jesus is not God?

    The embarrassing testimony supports Jesus being God. The sinful woman washing Jesus' feet with her tears and drying them with her hair and anointing them with ointment could easily be seen as a sexual advance.

    So Jesus is not God?

    That is correct @Skywalker, however they will not respond directly to your statement nor will they respond to your questions. It's now what, 837 posts and counting? And none of the "Jesus ain't God" crowd has been able to answer the Opening Post. Nor will they be able to. As stated in post...

    JW and people's safety

    Anyone. Doctors all say different things. Some will tell you take essentials oils internally. Some will tell you don't. The doctors opinion does not determine my choice. Thorough research, and a consideration of what I find to be reliable, truthful, and of greater long term benefit, does. Yes...

    Why I believe in Christ

    So why have Christians persecuted Jews for the last 2000 years given that the Romans executed Jesus for sedition and why they mocked him as the false "King of the Jews"?

    Why I believe in Christ

    Acts 26:10 Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against [them]. 11 And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled [them] to blaspheme...

    So Jesus is not God?

    Do you consider the NT authoritative or are you a skeptic? It might explain why Great questions…but it doesn’t answer how God shows His love for us by asking Jesus to die. Not at all. I’m simply asking “Who shows greater love…the person who dies for you, or the person who sends you to die?”...

    So Jesus is not God?

    I"m still not understanding why you feel Jesus is God, esp looking at those verses that you posted. [1. How does God show His love for us by asking Jesus to die? (Romans 5:8)] Great question... First of all, why did Jesus have to die? Was that out of love or punishment?...... [2. Who...

    So Jesus is not God?

    I suppose I could respond to a certain poster, but rather than shoot fish in a barrel I would prefer to get back to thread theme: Here's the verse in the OP: Romans 5:8: We've framed Romans 5:8 with other New Testament scripture to help us out: He who does not love does not know God, for...

    So Jesus is not God?

    These verses are all part and parcel of the OP. Great, but that’s not the issue. One of the main issue here is How does God show greater love by asking someone else to die? In other words, who shows greater love…the one dying for his friends or the one who agreed or asked you to die? Your...

    So Jesus is not God?

    [The OP discusses Romans 5:8. It is later developed and framed with 1 John 4:8, John 15: 13 and John 15:20. Are you claiming God showed greater love by dying "through" His son???] Not quite sure why your showing me these verses. I agree with you that God is love and He's a loving God. I agree...

    So Jesus is not God?

    You haven't been following along. We're up to our 32nd page, or around our 628th post of difficulty. Except it isn't. HockeyCowboy tried explaining it with an analogy that didn’t apply. Soapy tried explaining it by telling us “God is not our friend”. Others create rabbit holes (proof texts)...

    So Jesus is not God?

    Hi DW79, I've been extremely busy and haven't logged into Religious Forums for several months, but noticing your comment I felt compelled to reply. The answer is a resounding "No". As stated previously, it's extremely easy to harmonize and keep scripture authoritative when Jesus is God but...

    So Jesus is not God?

    Did someone answer this? I haven't read through all the posts and it was a few months ago now?

    A huge problem with the JW religion:

    From Moses on up until this very day--The Israelites while serving the true living God--serve, teach and worship a single being God-YHWH(YHVH(Jehovah) taught to every bible writer taught to Jesus his first 30 years attending the Israelite places of worship. Taught by every bible writer and...

    A huge problem with the JW religion:

    You totally walked around what I posted instead of actually dealing with it.
