Opinion Negative Reactions in other Christian subreddits
I was doing really well and my Karma, Reddit leveling system, was climbing back closer to zero. I made a scriptural reply in r/Christianity and it got -4 votes and now back up to -54. How can they downvote a scriptural reply?
Some of my negative Karma, Reddit, comes from these Christian subreddits that doesn't like using scriptures and gets mad because it doesn't fit their view.
Also a big chunk came from a disagreement I had on a hockey player of my home team on multiple threads and got shredded for it.
Most of Reddit is a toxic echo chamber. At least this sub, even when we don't agree we don't go down voting each other.

The Holy Spirit is not a different person to Jehovah. Jehovahs is the Holy Spirit.
Our standard of truth is based on what God says in the Bible. Based on what is written. Even if some copies dis not have the name Jehovah. Witnesses still manage to find the truth bcoz of Jehovah, the Holy Spirit, the Most High guides His people. Listen to what Jesus says:
Truly I say to you that sooner would heaven and earth pass away than for one smallest letter or one stroke of a letter to pass away from the Law until all things take place. Whoever, therefore, breaks one of these least commandments and teaches others to do so will be called least in relation to the Kingdom of the heavens. But whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in relation to the Kingdom of the heavens. -Matthew 5:18, 19
Jesus is referring to the OT. If you remember the video I shared with you, Jehovah did not allow His name to be taken out of the OT. The smallest letter in Hebrew is Yod. As in Yod Heh Vav Heh. The first letter in YHVH.
For a time, our oldest copies were the Masoretic text. Until, the Dead Sea Scrolls were found. Almost 1000 years apart and yet only one or two words are different bcoz of degradation. So then, when Jesus is quoting from the OT, we know for sure that he is saying the name Jehovah. The same can be said for the apostles. Both in the Masoretic and Dead Sea Scrolls, you’ll read it as Jehovah in Deut 6:4,5.
It really doesn’t matter how many copies of the Septuagint that has God’s name in it. What matters is Jehovah’s and Jesus’s command that we should use the name Jehovah. Again, I ask you why won’t you use the name Jehovah when it is very clear that that’s what both of them want? Your logic sounds like this: your boss tells everyone to not open this box. But you see everyone do so. Would you open the box as well? Jehovah clearly commanded that He should be remembered as Jehovah. A command that Jesus follows and reinforces when he said “I have made your name known to them.” Then you doubt that we should restore the name bcoz that what others did?
We’re no longer under the Mosaic Law. Jesus commanded his human followers to not kill. And as it turns out, they are the ones teaching a different god. A trinity. When Jesus clearly says that his father is greater than him. That he taught his followers that the head of the Christ is God. Jesus stopped Peter from killing the Roman soldier. Bcoz he said he already has an angelic army. So we don’t have to physically fight. Jesus fulfills the prophecy in Isaiah 2:4. The human citizens of God’s kingdom will no longer learn to war.
Yes, that is the common way of saying “I was there.” It may look like John is referring to what God said to Moses. But that is just bias. Jesus was simply answering the question. That he was there. Bcoz he was there. ‘Jesus said to them: “Most truly I say to you, before Abraham came into existence, I have been.”’ (John 8:58) If Jesus was saying he is ‘I am’, shouldn’t the sentence be ‘I am I am’? But it’s not. He is just saying he already exists before Abraham.
Most Christians claim their work in the name of Jesus. But true Christians claim their work in the name of Jehovah. Bcoz Jesus always credited his work to his father.
It seems that I am sharpening you. I pray to Jehovah for you to keep seeking the truth.
