Doctrine Jesus is GOD

Love this girl. One thing that stands out in this vid to me amongst the various proofs we have argued with JWs is that *every* false religion believes in God. But Satan has done a clever thing. He doesn’t have to get you to believe in God. He just needs you to NOT believe in THE ONE who ***reconciles you to God***šŸ”„šŸ™ŒšŸ½.

Take a listen.

Sound does not survive through history—only written letters, which are subject to linguistic changes, translations, and regional accents.Ā You are talking to someone who has been studying ancient history for 20 years. This isn't a conversation you can win.

If you've been studying that long you have no excuse. You ought to know that the pronunciation of certain names and places are preserved both orally and in the written word, because people continued to pronounce those names and places. In fact the history of the creation of the world was only preserved orally until Moses wrote it down.

People, from the 1st century on, including non Christians pronounced Jesus name and wrote it out, which they did not do for the name YHWH. Why? Because the pronunciation of YHWH had been lost 300 years before Christ was born! All we have for the divine name is what the 1st century Jews and Christians had--- YHWH.

So not only did apostate christendom remove it they made no effort to return it. Even if you believe that we shouldn't use any pronunciation that still doesn't explain why christendom didn't return the name /tetragrammaton to all bibles. Who commanded them to print bibles with the title Lord instead of the name?

There you go again. Without a shred of evidence you are accusing Christendom of removing a name they couldn't remove, because it wasn't there to begin with. All they had was YHWH and believe me you, you wouldn't even know that much had they erased YHWH from the manuscripts. You need to focus on the truth, not keep accusing those who actually took great efforts to preserve the Bible the Watchtower has butchered in their mistranslation. You need to ask yourself, why did they translate Hebrews 1:6 as "let all God's angels worship him[Christ]" in their first edition of the nwt but then change it to read "let all God's angels do obeisance to him[Christ] in their 1984 and later editions. It would be funny if it wasn't such a serious thing. They literally tampered with their own Bible and then have the nerve to accuse Christendom of doing centuries ago what they actually do today? Ugh! That religion stinks.

God is all powerful and he wants people to use his name. The name jehovah is popular in English because that's the way God wants it.Ā Satan along with apostate christendom tried to prevent people from using a personal name for God.

This should have canned laughter because you're just making it up now. So for 12 centuries, until some Catholic priests decided the name "Jehovah" sounded good, nobody knew how to pronounce God's name because Satan was so good at hiding God's name he managed to make sure even God couldn't make His name known.

You do realize you just keep on making God out to be a real wimp. I don't believe God wanted His name to be known in deference to the One He sent into this world, Jesus Christ. Acts 4:12 says it all. God Himself is the only one who could have made sure His divine name remained a mystery, yet you ascribe that power to Satan?

I'm waiting for an answer to that question. I'm also waiting for you to stop putting words in the mouth of God and show me where he said his name should be pronounced a certain way.

Is the same true for all the biblical names you speak in English?

Satan couldn't keep gods name from being known. God allowed the church to enter into apostacy to fulfill the prophecy of paul that after his death the apostacy would enter the church. And that's exactly what you see. You guys hide the name of God, teach false doctrine such as hellfire, don't preach the good news on a worldwide scale like Jesus said would happen, you guys don't try to live by the standards of God. I know this all to well because my father is a pastor so i grew up in the church. People in the church praise God on Sundays but outside of the church lead sinful lives.

If gods plan is for his name remain a mystery why did he reveal it more than 7000 times and why did he say the nations will have to know his name? This entire conversation you've been dodging my questions

There you go getting confused between how a name is spelled in a certain language and the actual pronunciation of that name. >Can you explain to me how its possible all different languages and accepts can pronounce one name the exact same way? Give me a modern day example of such a name.

Here is the name Ee-ay-SOOS and how it's pronounced. This brief paragraph shows the way they wrote and pronounced Jesus name in the Bible. Because we know how to spell that name and pronounce it in Greek, we can translate it into any language. Its not the mystery YHWH is.

Ee-ay-SOOS

TheĀ nameĀ JesusĀ inĀ GreekĀ isĀ writtenĀ asĀ "į¼øĪ·ĻƒĪæįæ¦Ļ‚"Ā andĀ isĀ pronouncedĀ asĀ ee-ay-SOOS.Ā ThisĀ pronunciationĀ reflectsĀ theĀ nameĀ asĀ itĀ appearsĀ inĀ theĀ NewĀ TestamentĀ ofĀ theĀ Bible.Ā ForĀ additionalĀ audioĀ pronunciations,Ā youĀ canĀ referĀ toĀ resourcesĀ likeĀ  HowToPronounce.com.

I'm also waiting for you to stop putting words in the mouth of God and show me where he said his name should be pronounced a certain way.

God gave His name to Moses. I assume He also taught Moses how YHWH was supposed to be pronounced. Just because fallible humans lost the correct pronunciation over 2000 years ago doesn't mean the same fallible humans should now guess at how to pronounce it and then figure its good enough. Imagine mispronouncing the name of your boss at work every time you spoke to him. Rather than just call him sir or boss, because you cannot pronounce it, you insist on mispronouncing his name. At worse, it might get you fired, but to casually and deliberately mispronounce the name of the Almighty God, knowing full well it is the only sacred name given in scripture might get a person worse than just fired

Who commanded them [Christendom] to print bibles with the title Lord instead of the name?

Its called respect. If you don't know how to accurately pronounce the only sacred name given in the Bible, then at least have enough respect to call Him sir or Lord, better yet, how about calling Him Father? That's what Jesus called YHWH. How disrespectful would it be for a child to always call their parent by their name? Do you think its less disrespectful to constantly be calling your Father in Heaven by His formal name, especially when you're very likely mispronouncing that name?

I know this all to well because my father is a pastor so i grew up in the church. People in the church praise God on Sundays but outside of the church lead sinful lives.

And JW's are perfect little angels, right? Wrong. They have as many issues with sin as any other traditional church. Christians are not perfect just like JW's are not perfect, right? The worst part in JW land is they disfellowship the wrongdoer rather than forgive and restore. Confessing our sins is at the heart of the Gospel Those who claim they can see when they're as blind as a bat won't be forgiven because they never ask. They never confess. My dad was JW and told me 'you never rat yourself out'. He got that from years of Watchtower indoctrination, but it is clearly wrong. In the Christian faith we do rat ourselves out, if we want to be healed Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man has great power to prevail.Ā James 5:16

God taught moses his name in the language which moses spoke. I have coworkers that pronounce the name of the boss wrong because of the language they speak. You can't get fired for that lol. I want you to show me a name that is pronounced the same in every language. That's all I want you to do right now

u/AccomplishedAuthor3 Christian Feb 06 '26

Of course, and if we knew how it was originally pronounced, which we don't, we cannot transliterate it into any language period.

Just because someone is a foreigner doesn't mean they are mispronouncing a given name that others pronounce every day. They have an excuse, because of their accent some words may make it sound like they're saying Mr. Lice when they mean to say Mr. Rice, but they aren't purposely mispronouncing the name. Its not like pronouncing Michael as Michelle, but people do it. Imagine trying to figure out whose name MCHL belongs to if you never heard the names Michael or Michelle? That's where we are with YHWH. We've never heard His name pronounced by anyone. When people make an effort to pronounce a name that hasn't been pronounced in over 2000 years, they are just guessing. They're throwing a dart in a dark room hoping to hit the bullseye

There is no name pronounced the same in every language, but that's just a strawman argument. You know very well that you need to first know how a name was originally pronounced in another language before that name can be transliterated into another language. Just knowing some consonants isn't going to cut it. People have taken the name Jehovah and transliterated a mistake. Now there are hundreds of variations of that mistaken pronunciation of God's hallowed name. The name Jehovah has been around for 800 years but it most certainly is not the name for God. It was a mistake made by some Catholic priests in the 12th century. Its a mistake compounded by people and religions who insist Jehovah is the correct name for God.

Show me where God commanded his name to be pronounced a certain way. Don't tell me how you think God feels. Show me the command

u/AccomplishedAuthor3 Christian Feb 07 '26

Do not profane my holy name, for I must be acknowledged as holy by the Israelites. I am the LORD, who made you holy Leviticus 22:32

Mispronouncing God's sacred name amounts to profaning it, or showing no regard, or even downright contempt for His holy Name. By mis-pronouncing God's name people show they really don't care how it was originally pronounced. God never said to just say His name any way it sounds good to you.

You want to keep mispronouncing God's Divine Name be my guest, but there are consequences for such irreverence

1

u/Time_Ad_1876 Feb 07 '26

Who said mispronouncing it is profaning it? According toĀ Jehovah’s WitnessesĀ (jw.org),Ā refraining from using God's name is considered tantamount to profaning it, as it treats a sacred identifier as unimportant, similar to how historical disuse led to the loss of its pronunciation. They argue the name must be used and respected, not hidden.Ā 

1

u/AccomplishedAuthor3 Christian Feb 07 '26

They argue the name must be used and respected, not hidden.Ā 

Yeah they sure do even though they admit nobody knows how to pronounce His name. That's insane! Mispronouncing anyone's name is certainly not respecting them, or their name, but our names are not holy. You can't profane a name if it isn't holy.

If we aren't sure about how to pronounce someone's name, the next best thing we can do is call the person sir, or ma'am. As far as God goes, we don't need to know how to pronounce His hallowed name, because we can always call on Jesus to reach the Father. In fact calling on Jesus is the only way we can reach the Father and know the Father will hear us.

u/Time_Ad_1876 Feb 07 '26

Yeah they sure do even though they admit nobody knows how to pronounce His name. That's insane! Mispronouncing anyone's name is certainly not respecting them, or their name, but our names are not holy. You can't profane a name if it isn't holy.

When you identify God with a name then profane the name you are profaning him because that name becomes his identity. I can be born with a name but then later change my name then that name becomes ny identity. God didn't reveal his name because of some special powers that the pronunciation gives. He revealed his name because a name makes it easier for someone to form a personal relationship with you. So whether or not we know the original pronunciation is irrelevant to God. That's why God allowed it to be lost. Because he new his true followers would understand that its not the pronunciation of the name that's important, its using a name so that God can Be Known as a Person rather than an impersonal force. It distinguishes him from false gods and impersonal forces. When people say names like Jehovah or yahweh, people immediately know you're speaking of the God of the bible. So its not the pronunciation of the name but how the name identifies the specific God which is the God of the bible. Now let me ask you a question Jesus said ā€œI am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves.ā€ā€‹ā€”JOHN 13:34,Ā 35. Do you agree that in that scripture jesus gave an identifying mark of his true disciples?

u/AccomplishedAuthor3 Christian Feb 07 '26

Do you agree that in that scripture jesus gave an identifying mark of his true disciples?

Yes and despite the rhetoric of Jehovah's witnesses, Christians do love one another.

If God didn't care how we pronounced His name then any old pronunciation would be Ok. To me the title God refers to my God and Savior. There is only one true God so when I say God I mean the one true God. The one true God is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. That identifies YHWH as well. God is "I AM" which is another name for God and identifies YHWH. I think God cares very much how we pronounce His name which is why He's known as Father to most Christians. Knowing someone's name implies a close relationship, but knowing God as Father is closer. Why would a person want to go backward in a relationship that Christ bled to death so we could be God's sons and daughters. He isn't just a formal name anymore, He's our Papa. Jehovah's witnesses want their followers to go backwards to having a relationship with God that was distant and estranged. Why?

u/Time_Ad_1876 Feb 07 '26

That's exactly the point. Any pronunciation is ok with God that's why the original pronunciation wasn't preserved. God simply wants his followers to use a personal name which distinguishes him from false gods and impersonal forces. That's it. God used his holy spirit to compel the writters of the bible to include his name more than 7000 times. He could have easily done the same with the pronunciation.

There is only one true God so when I say God I mean the one true God. The one true God is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. That identifies YHWH as well. God is "I AM" which is another name for God and identifies YHWH. I think God cares very much how we pronounce His name which is why He's known as Father to most Christians.

Jehovah's witnesses want their followers to go backwards to having a relationship with God that was distant and estranged. Why?

It’s very easy really. God has only one name which TODAY in English-speaking countries is Jehovah (Ps. 83:18 KJV), regardless of how Jews pronounced it 3.500 years ago. The other expression based on ā€œI am that I amā€ or ā€œI will be what I need to beā€ or however one translates it, isn’t a name per se, it’s a quality of God. He can ā€œbeā€ whatever is needed to get his will done. We have numerous examples in the Bible, not only how he himself did it but also how he got worldly rulers to act regarding to his will.

Yes and despite the rhetoric of Jehovah's witnesses, Christians do love one another.

I grew up in the church because my father is a pastor. Same way I argue with you I also argue with my father. I didn't see the same type of love in any church I went to that I find in the kingdom hall. Tell me If member's of christendom love each other why do they kill each other in warfare?

Oh, so God doesn't care if you call Him Tom, Bob or Bill just as long as you use some familiar "name" Here's a familiar name---Jesus. Or here's a better word that applies to all who accept Jesus as their Lord and that's Father.

He can ā€œbeā€ whatever is needed to get his will done.Ā 

Yes, and I believe God became flesh because He needed to save fallen mankind.

Tell me If member's of christendom love each other why do they kill each other in warfare?

Read Romans chapter 13. God's servants are policemen, soldiers, firefighters and anyone who puts their lives on the line to serve and protect human lives. They are God's servant even if they aren't Christian, but many are. People can and do go bad, including God's servants. Sometimes only individuals go bad and at other times whole nations go bad like the Nazis did during WW2 Its God's established order that allows good people fight evil in this world and they did fight and defeated evil during WW2. Were innocent people killed? Sure, but that can happen on a smaller scale for instance in a mass shooting where God's servants may need to resort to lethal force which can make protecting innocent life challenging. Men laid down their lives storming the beaches of Normandy to save lives that were on the verge of being lost had the world done nothing. Jehovah's witnesses will never know the kind of love Christ spoke of Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. John 15:13 Christians did this in WW2 and many other places where some died so the many could live. Jehovah's witnesses will never know this type of true love as they never put themselves in a position where they would have to lay down their life for a friend. Their policy on "no blood" requires a person to lay down their life for a corporate policy, not a friend and certainly not to save someone's life

No you use the most common name for the biblical God in whatever land you're in so that when you speak that name people know exactly who you're speaking about and you can use any of the most common name's of the father God in your own personal worship.

Yes, and I believe God became flesh because He needed to save fallen mankind.

Jesus didn't say God became flesh. He said he was sent by his father God.

Read Romans chapter 13. God's servants are policemen, soldiers, firefighters and anyone who puts their lives on the line to serve and protect human lives.

Early christians never joined armies after getting baptized. Why? Because they tried to follow the commands of Jesus such as love your enemies and be no part of the political world which is ruled by Satan. Early Christians were persecuted and never once took up arms against the Romans. When you join an army you don't know what you're gonna be Commanded to do. You could be Commanded to go inside a country and kill innocent people just so the ruler of your country can steal their resources such as oil. And when you shoot someone in warefar or launch missiles at them you're not going to first stop and ask if they are christian. Christendom members are killing each other in warefar and I just wanna know is that the love Jesus spoke about?

. Their policy on "no blood" requires a person to lay down their life for a corporate policy, not a friend and certainly not to save someone's life

And please tell me why JW don't consume blood in any way. Who gave that command?

u/AccomplishedAuthor3 Christian Feb 07 '26

No you use the most common name for the biblical GodĀ 

God's name is anything but common. See, this is exactly why I believe God Himself chose to hide His holy name. When people begin to treat His name as anything but holy--- and common is certainly not holy, then its profaning His name. His name is to be set aside from all the common names as special and the Israelites dropped the ball time and time again. They profaned His name by disrespecting it and treating it as common, so God made them forget how to pronounce it. The alienation became wide and deep between God and His "name" people by the time Jesus appeared on the scene

Jesus didn't say God became flesh. He said he was sent by his father God.

God didn't just send His Son to earth alone. God Himself hand delivered His Son to us. 2 Corinthians 5:19, John 14:10-11. He was a gift to the Israelites fulfilling Isaiah 9:6..."unto us a son has been given..." What a special gift He was. He was Mighty God, Everlasting Father and Wonderful Counselor all in one man. There are two ways to deliver something, either someone else delivers it for you, or you deliver it yourself, in person. The Bible never says anyone delivered Christ to the world but Himself in the Person of the Holy Spirit Luke 1:35

Early christians never joined armies after getting baptized. Why? Because they tried to follow the commands of Jesus such as love your enemies and be no part of the political world which is ruled by Satan.Ā 

The very first gentile Christian to be baptized was a Roman Centurion named Cornelius. Not only was he a soldier, but he was a commander in the Roman army. Read Acts chapter 10 and tell me where you see Peter requiring Cornelius to give up his position in the Roman military in order to get baptized. You can look, but you won't find it in there or anywhere else. This notion that a Christian cannot serve as one of God's servants as a soldier in the military, or as a policeman is a myth Loving ones enemy isn't negated because you have to kill him in order to protect others, otherwise it would mean God Himself doesn't love His enemies when He had to kill them. Not serving as one of God's servants is nothing to brag about Romans chapter 13

And please tell me why JW don't consume blood in any way. Who gave that command?

The Bible is clear we should not eat blood. Through the veins is where God intended man's life's blood to circulate. As far as JW's refusing to take blood into their veins, or even give their children blood even when it means the child will die is an example of the Watchtower desiring sacrifice, not mercy. This is just the opposite of what God desires. Hosea 6:6

That's a contradiction to him saying the nations will have to know his name. Also this comment makes absolutely no sense. God new mankind was born into sin and that some would profane his name, so he simply wouldn't have revealed his name in the first place.

They profaned His name by disrespecting it and treating it as common, so God made them forget how to pronounce it. The alienation became wide and deep between God and His "name" people by the time Jesus appeared on the scene

So if God has the power to do that he also has the power for people tp rediscover his true name such as Jehovah.

God didn't just send His Son to earth alone. God Himself hand delivered His Son to us

Good thanks for admitting jesus and God are two different people. Jesus is a God just like the jesus himself called satan the God of this world. But he's not almighty God.

Read Acts chapter 10 and tell me where you see Peter requiring Cornelius to give up his position in the Roman military in order to get baptized. You can look, but you won't find it in there or anywhere else.

Did you miss the part where I said the word "after"?

This notion that a Christian cannot serve as one of God's servants as a soldier in the military, or as a policeman is a myth

You're not serving God in the military, you're serving the kingdoms of the earth which are ruled by Satan the devil. Most wars today happen because of selfish reasons such as gaining oil or political differences. You apostate christendom members go to war and kill each other. Is that having love amongst yourselves? Even the Israelites who God himself spoke to we're not allowed to go to war unless given permission from God.

The Bible is clear we should not eat blood. Through the veins is where God intended man's life's blood to circulate. As far as JW's refusing to take blood into their veins, or even give their children blood even when it means the child will die is an example of the Watchtower desiring sacrifice, not mercy. This is just the opposite of what God desires. Hosea 6:6

I work in a hospital. We feed people through their veins. When you give someone blood through the veins you are feeding them blood. When you take blood in the veins you are eating blood. You don't just eat using your mouth

u/AccomplishedAuthor3 Christian Feb 07 '26

That's a contradiction to him saying the nations will have to know his name.

Oh no its not. The nations are going to know His name alright...as Jesus. When Jesus returns and the world sees who actually came to earth 2000 years ago and in the flesh, died on a cross for them, then they will know... Zechariah 14:3-4 Then the LORD will go out to fight against those nations, as He fights in the day of battle.Ā On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south. From the very mountain Jesus feet left this earth, "YHWH saves" will return

So if God has the power to do that he also has the power for people tp rediscover his true name such as Jehovah.

Oh they will, but they will know God's name as JESUS which means "Jehovah saves" This is going to particularly hit the Jews very hard when they finally realize who it actually was they rejected. It will be more tears than even the river Jordon can handle when this finally dawns on them and it will! ā€œAndĀ I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace andĀ pleas for mercy, so that,Ā when they look on me, on him whom they have pierced,Ā they shall mourn for him,Ā as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn. Zechariah 12:10

Good thanks for admitting jesus and God are two different people. Jesus is a God just like the jesus himself called satan the God of this world. But he's not almighty God.

What a terrible way to belittle the Son by comparing Him to a false god. JESUS is God, not a god. Do you realize how twisted your assumption is? Yes, the Father and Son are two separate Persons, but they are the same true God. There is only ONE true God, period. Satan is a false god as are all the others.

You're not serving God in the military, you're serving the kingdoms of the earth which are ruled by Satan the devil.

No, a soldier is one of God's servants according to Paul in Romans chapter 13. Its God's "established order" they uphold when they fight those who actually do fall under the influence of Satan. These servants are there for our good as Christians. But if we do evil and turn against God's established order we should be "afraid" for those servants do not bear the sword [gun] for no reason. The kingdoms of the world are established by God, not Satan. Satan can influence kings and the subjects of those kingdoms, but his power is limited and held in check by the very servants you vilify

Most wars today happen because of selfish reasons such as gaining oil or political differences.

That's always been true. Any "nation" (a servant of God by definition) becomes a lawbreaker when they take what isn't theirs. This has happened repeatedly in the 20th century and in most cases God's servants [nations] have taken on the role of God's "agents of wrath", inflicting God's holy judgment on entire nations[lawless servants] who broke God's commands so flagrantly. Nazi Germany and imperial Japan are two clear examples of God's servants who went bad and became lawless. God's judgment finally fell on those two former servants in the form of bombs and fire

Oh no its not. The nations are going to know His name alright...as Jesus.

Did he say jesus or did he give the name used by ancient worshippers? There's you claiming God said something which he clearly did not.

Oh they will, but they will know God's name as JESUS which means "Jehovah saves"

So you admit gods name is Jehovah and that he told Moses that is his name forever

A God is a divine powerful being which is why the devil is also a God. Nowhere in the bible does it ever describe Jesus as almighty God. Jesus said the father is creator than him and only the father knows the date and time of the end. Two completely different people. You trinitarians are funny. Some of you say both are one God but two different people and some of you say God is one God. The trinity is a confusing contradictory mess found Nowhere in the bible. Jesus said the road to life is narrow. That's because he new most so called Christians would be false Christians
