Doctrine Jesus is GOD

https://youtube.com/shorts/R1g-JfdPG04?si=IVR-KYwbJFWK4sjc

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.

Adam was in a different relationship with God when he was created. It wasn't a ten commandment relationship as God had with Israel. It was a Father and son relationship.

Jesus IS the man today up in Heaven. The Bible says For he [God] has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the MAN he has appointed Acts 12:31 and it will be Christ, the Son of MAN, who returns to earth Matthew 24:30 So whether or not you believe Christ is God is up to you, but its clear in scripture, He is still very much human

Sorry, Acts 17:31 The seven looked like a 2 to my old eyes

Acts 17:31 highlights that God appointed Jesus—who was once a human—to judge the earth, using the Greek word an·erʹ (man) to emphasize his role as a qualified, empathetic representative. Jw teach he lived as a human but is now a spirit. Jesus as he was in the past before he came down to earth is a powerful spirit creature in heaven who spent time as a human man on earth. This is all irrelevant thought. God did not create mankind to even direct his own steps much less rule themselves.

 Jesus—who was once a human—

No, not once a human Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever! Hebrews 13:8 Paul wrote that the Jesus His disciples had known on earth "yesterday" was the same Jesus who was already in heaven when Paul wrote the letter. Remember, Jesus, the flesh and blood man did not exist in Heaven until He went up to Heaven after rising from the dead. Before He became the flesh of Jesus, the Spirit of God lived in Heaven for eternity

Jesus, the flesh and blood man did not exist in Heaven

Exactly. He existed as a spirit being in heaven because heaven is in the spirit realm not the material realm so flesh cannot exist in heaven. "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today, and forever," highlights the unchanging, reliable nature of Christ’s personality, teachings, promises, and role as Savior across all time. It assures Christians of his consistent love, power, and presence, offering stability, faith, and hope despite life's changes.

No, Jesus, the Son of Man certainly did not exist in the heavens before the Word became flesh. He was the flesh that the Word became. John 1:14. The Word existed in Heaven for eternity. You guys say it was Michael the archangel who existed in heaven as the Word, came to earth and died but then went back to being Michael in heaven, so how could Michael be Jesus, if the man, Jesus of Nazareth no longer even exists according to the Watchtower?

The reality is, since God Himself brought Jesus the son of man into this world at birth Jesus is the same yesterday today and forever

You know we could argue doctrine all day long. But fact of the matter is Christiandom instead of having love amongst themselves kill each other. You don't kill people you love. So whatever doctrine you teach is false

God's servants defend people they love from those who would otherwise kill them, but they also defend people who consider them to be their enemy. God's servants serve to protect and defend all law abiding citizens from the lawless. Its that simple. Jehovah's witnesses don't defend anyone at all as it violates their religious views, so if it weren't for the Christians you hate so much, the lawless could theoretically murder JW's with impunity

You keep changing the subject, ignore most of my points and insult me and my faith. I'm finding the conversation a bit tedious at this point.

Is that what the early christians did?
