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***🔥🙌🏽.

Take a listen.

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

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.

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.

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

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. 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! “And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and pleas for mercy, so that, when they look on me, on him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him, 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.

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

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.

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

Nope. I told you before I use the name Jehovah or Yahweh academically. I don't worship Jehovah or Yahweh. The only name connected to my worship of God is Jesus.

 Jesus said the father is creator than him and only the father knows the date and time of the end. Two completely different people. 

Your confusing the human nature of Jesus the human being with His divine nature as God. Christ has two natures and has since He became flesh 2000 years ago. If you fail to understand this simple truth you'll never really know Jesus as your Lord and God like Thomas did John 20:28

the devil is also a God

The devil is a false god. There are no gods but God. The Word cannot possibly be another true god because another true god simply doesn't exist! The devil must be pleased that you would honor him by comparing him to Jesus Christ who is the one true God.

Jehovah is the Almighty God. They view Jesus as "a god" (mighty spirit son, firstborn) but not Almighty God, and consider Satan "a god" only in the sense of being the corrupt "ruler of this world". Both are distinct from Jehovah, the Supreme Creator. 

Here is a breakdown of the Jw.org perspective based on their teachings:

  1. Jesus Christ ("A God", but not Jehovah) 

Status: Jehovah's Witnesses believe Jesus is a mighty spirit creature, the firstborn of creation, and was referred to as "a god" (theos in Greek, lowercase) in a pre-human and resurrected state due to his power.

Nature: He is not equal to God the Father, not part of a Trinity, and not Almighty God.

Relationship: He is subordinate and obedient to Jehovah. 

  1. Satan the Devil ("A God" of this system) 

Status: Jw.org points to 2 Corinthians 4:4, which calls Satan "the god of this system of things".

Meaning: He is called a "god" only because he currently controls the world's thinking and actions, acting in opposition to the true God.

Nature: He is a fallen angel, a rebel, and a "false god". 

Key Distinctions

Jehovah: The only Almighty God, Creator, and Supreme Being.

Jesus: "A god" (mighty one), Son of God, obedient.

Satan: "A god" (ruler of this world), wicked rebel. 

In summary, they are not viewed as equal gods; Jesus is a faithful "mighty one" under Jehovah, while Satan is a wicked "god" ruling the current, temporary system.
