323 | are you saved by Jesus Christ or Jehovah | John 8:58 | Pastor Glenn | 145439 | ||
Hello Ben, I am guessing that most of your comments are generally against the entire thread around ID 88404. In conclusion you said, "Don't side with losers, blind guides, that took it upon themselves to not use God's self-given name, Jehovah. What blasphemy!" Lets focus on only one scripture now. Use your NWT if you have one. Begin at verse 1 of Psalm 102 and identify the individual being addressed in the passage. The scripture begins, "O Jehovah, do hear my prayer." Skip down to verse 12 and notice that Jehovah remains the subject of the psalm. Notice that Jehovah continues to appear in verses 19 and 20 . This is important because once you get to verse 25 the significance of the words will be manifest. Jehovah is addressed in the very same words that the writer to the Hebrews uses of the Son, Jesus Christ! I want to make it clear that there is no reason to think that anyone other than Jehovah is being addressed by the psalmist in Psalm 102:25-27. So what do you find here? Pastor Glenn |

Hello Ben, You said, "Paul quotes many Hebrew verses, referring back and forth between "the son" and "God, his God." Once again, because Heb 1:8 is mistranslated in most modern Protestant Bibles (see the actual Psalm 45:6,7 for proof) as is "proskuneo" in verse 6." Please focus on Heb 11-12: 11They will perish, but You remain; And they will all grow old like a garment; 12Like a cloak You will fold them up, And they will be changed. But You are the same, And Your years will not fail." "I don't see why a person wouldn't want to be Christ-like and worship the God he worshiped alone. Psalm 83:18 says Jehovah "alone" is Most High God (that means by himself, by the way). Yet the angel told Mary that her child would be "called Son of the Most High." (Luke 1:32) Man that's simple." Yes, I agree that He is the Son of the Most High. Where we disagree is what He was called before He was made flesh. Psalm 102 The LORD's Eternal Love A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed and pours out his complaint before the LORD. Begin at verse 1 of Psalm 102 and identify the individual being addressed in the passage. The scripture begins, "O Jehovah, do hear my prayer." 1 Hear my prayer, O LORD, And let my cry come to You. 2Do not hide Your face from me in the day of my trouble; Incline Your ear to me; In the day that I call, answer me speedily. 3For my days are consumed like smoke, And my bones are burned like a hearth. 4My heart is stricken and withered like grass, So that I forget to eat my bread. 5Because of the sound of my groaning My bones cling to my skin. 6I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am like an owl of the desert. 7I lie awake, And am like a sparrow alone on the housetop. 8My enemies reproach me all day long; Those who deride me swear an oath against me. 9For I have eaten ashes like bread, And mingled my drink with weeping, 10Because of Your indignation and Your wrath; For You have lifted me up and cast me away. 11My days are like a shadow that lengthens, And I wither away like grass. Skip down to verse 12 and notice that Jehovah remains the subject of the psalm. 12But You, O LORD, shall endure forever, And the remembrance of Your name to all generations. 13You will arise and have mercy on Zion; For the time to favor her, Yes, the set time, has come. 14For Your servants take pleasure in her stones, And show favor to her dust. 15So the nations shall fear the name of the LORD, And all the kings of the earth Your glory. 16For the LORD shall build up Zion; He shall appear in His glory. 17He shall regard the prayer of the destitute, And shall not despise their prayer. 18This will be written for the generation to come, That a people yet to be created may praise the LORD. Notice that Jehovah continues to appear in verses 19 and 20 . 19For He looked down from the height of His sanctuary; From heaven the LORD viewed the earth, 20To hear the groaning of the prisoner, To release those appointed to death, 21To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, And His praise in Jerusalem, 22When the peoples are gathered together, And the kingdoms, to serve the LORD. 23He weakened my strength in the way; He shortened my days. 24I said, "O my God, Do not take me away in the midst of my days; Your years are throughout all generations. This is important because once you get to verse 25 the significance of the words will be manifest. Jehovah is addressed in the very same words that the writer to the Hebrews uses of the Son, Jesus Christ! Hebrews 1 11They will perish, but You remain; And they will all grow old like a garment; 12Like a cloak You will fold them up, And they will be changed. But You are the same, And Your years will not fail." I want to make it clear that there is no reason to think that anyone other than Jehovah is being addressed by the psalmist in Psalm 102:25-27. Psalm 102 25Of old You laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands. 26They will perish, but You will endure; Yes, they will all grow old like a garment; Like a cloak You will change them, And they will be changed. 27But You are the same, And Your years will have no end. 28The children of Your servants will continue, And their descendants will be established before You."

325 | are you saved by Jesus Christ or Jehovah | John 8:58 | Pastor Glenn | 145502 | ||
Hello Ben, This reference to Psalm 102:25-27 actually begins at verse 10: Heb 1 10 And: "You, LORD, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands. 11 They will perish, but You remain; And they will all grow old like a garment; 12 Like a cloak You will fold them up, And they will be changed. But You are the same, And Your years will not fail." Psalm 102 25 Of old You laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands. 26 They will perish, but You will endure; Yes, they will all grow old like a garment; Like a cloak You will change them, And they will be changed. 27 But You are the same, And Your years will have no end. If Jehovah is the one being adressed in Psalm 102 then how can anyone deny that Heb 1 is not speaking of Jehovah/Jesus Christ? Pastor Glenn |

326 | Is Jehovah lying? | John 8:58 | Pastor Glenn | 145535 | ||
hello Ben, You said, "I had a man tell me just a week ago that unless I believe that Jesus is God, second person of the trinity, I will not be saved. I said if he showed me this from the Bible he would have my rapt attention. His effort to save me ended there." Well, Jesus Christ sure talked an awful lot about Himself. We can also learn a lot from what He did not say about the Father. He could have said "THE FATHER is the way, the truth and the life ...". Also nowhere did He ever tell anyone not to worship Him (Jesus). In another thread, Truthfinder (who was also a NWT advocate said, "And Heb. 1:8-12 reads, NWT, ” 8 But with reference to the Son: “God is your throne forever And Psalm 102:25 reads, NWT, 25 Long ago you laid the foundations of the earth itself, And the heavens are the work of your hands. Here the psalmist was talking about Jehovah God, but the apostle Paul applied these words to Jesus Christ as you say in Hebrews 1:10, 11 As it turns out, these words apply to Jesus, for he acted as Jehovah’s Agent in creating the universe just as Colossians 1:15, 16 tells us. So Jesus, too, could be said to have “laid the foundations of the earth.” Yes, all three were involved in creating the universe and man. (Let us..), God’s active force or holy, God’s Son and he himself. Truthfinder" I wanted to point out that since it is impossible to come to the Father without Christ, Jesus is far more than just an agent. A client can bypass his agent if he so desires. But Christ cannot be bypassed: Acts 4:12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." John 14 6Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7If you really knew me, you would know[2] my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him." 8Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us." 9Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? 10Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves. 12I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. 14You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. (NKJV) Also, since Jesus is our creator, He is Jehovah. Exodus 20:11 For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. Nehemiah 9:6 You alone are the LORD . You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you. Psalm 69:34 Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas and all that move in them, Psalm 146:6 the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them- the LORD , who remains faithful forever. Acts 4:24 When they heard this, they raised their voices together in prayer to God. "Sovereign Lord," they said, "you made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and everything in them. Acts 14:15 "Men, why are you doing this? We too are only men, human like you. We are bringing you good news, telling you to turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made heaven and earth and sea and everything in them. Revelation 5:13 Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, singing: "To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!" Revelation 10:6 And he swore by him who lives for ever and ever, who created the heavens and all that is in them, the earth and all that is in it, and the sea and all that is in it, and said, "There will be no more delay! Revelation 14:7 He said in a loud voice, "Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of water." Ben, since nowhere in scripture are we told NOT to worship Christ, why not try it. Invite Him in to your heart. If He is not God, then of course He can not come in to your heart and mine at the same time or else He would be omnipresent wouldn't He? Pastor Glenn |

328 | The name Jehovah or the name of Jesus? | Acts 4:12 | Pastor Glenn | 92778 | ||
Truthfinder, The focus of the Watchtower and Tract Society on the name "Jehovah" is totally misplaced emphasis. The scriptures already have the emphasis on the name of the Son! Acts 4:12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." Truthfinder, I have pointed out that the great conspiracy of Satan is really the "spirit of anti-Christ", not "anti-Jehovah". But, you have not responded to this point. Do you agree that scripture emphasizes a conspiracy against the Son (Anti-Christ)? 1 John 4 2By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, 3and every spirit that does not confess that[1] Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. How does the NWT render the above scripture? Do you agree that the doctrine of the trinity "does not" teach that God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are "one person"? However, they are "one God", but also three eternally distinct persons. Is this your understanding of what we believe? I am not asking if you agree with us, only if you know and understand what we believe. The bible is clear that there is no other name given among men by which we must be saved. John 3 18"He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Do you believe that you can be saved by the name Jehovah or by the name of Jesus Christ? Pastor Glenn |

329 | Post NWT of Acts 4:12 and John 3:18? | Acts 4:12 | Pastor Glenn | 92836 | ||
Thank you very much New Creature. I already knew that you are not a JW. I have unsuccessfully searched the web for a free electronic copy of the NWT. I feel that Truthfinder's argument about the use of the word "Lord" in the place of "Jehovah" is a moot point. Since these kinds of scripture that point to the deity of Christ are present in the NWT also, then the NWT becomes a tract for the doctrine of the Trinity. I do not know whether he is ignoring this question or if he is simply taking his time to ponder it. From the NWT scripture that you quote, it is clear that even using the NWT does not take away the emphasis on "Jesus Christ"! In post ID # 88482 Truthfinder admits that the New Testament applies "Jehovah" to Jesus Christ: "And Heb. 1:8-12 reads, NWT, ” 8 But with reference to the Son: “God is your throne forever And Psalm 102:25 reads, NWT, 25 Long ago you laid the foundations of the earth itself, And the heavens are the work of your hands.

Thanks again New Creature! This just goes as furthur proof that even the Watchtower and Tract Society have not fully considered the implications of the name of "Jesus Christ" to His Deity. They try to make Him out to be some angelic "agent" standing in for God. Well, an agent can be bypassed. It is clear that even in the NWT, Jesus Christ cannot be bypassed: Furthermore, there is no salvation in anyone else, for there is not another name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must get saved. (Acts 4:12 NWT) He that exercises faith in him is not to be judged. He that does not exercise faith has been judged already, because he has not exercised faith in the name of the only-begotten Son of God. (John 3:18 NWT) |

Now Hank, You said, "I've found that the way these cultists deal with issues they don't understand and don't have pat answers for is by changing the subject or walking away with a dazed look on their faces." To be fair, you really have got to give them until the following week. How are they expected to deal with issues unless it comes out in the next weeks issue of the Watchtower or Awake magazines?

333 | Called and sent by God or just "went"? | Acts 6:5 | Pastor Glenn | 66448 | ||
Called and sent by God or just "went"? Is it important to wait for the leading of the Holy Spirit before entering the ministry? Or is it enough to just be born again and study the scriptures or both? Are the Old Testament scriptures like Jeremiah 14:14 related only to the prophets of old or are they relavant to ministers today? Here are some related scriptures: Acts 6:3Therefore, brethren, seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business; Acts 8:29Then the Spirit said to Philip, "Go near and overtake this chariot." Isaiah 6:5 So I said: "Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The LORD of hosts." 6Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar. 7And he touched my mouth with it, and said: "Behold, this has touched your lips; Your iniquity is taken away, And your sin purged." 8Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: "Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?" Then I said, "Here am I! Send me." Jer 14:13Then I said, "Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, the prophets say to them, "You shall not see the sword, nor shall you have famine, but I will give you assured peace in this place."' 14And the LORD said to me, "The prophets prophesy lies in My name. I have not sent them, commanded them, nor spoken to them; they prophesy to you a false vision, divination, a worthless thing, and the deceit of their heart. 15Therefore thus says the LORD concerning the prophets who prophesy in My name, whom I did not send, and who say, "Sword and famine shall not be in this land'--"By sword and famine those prophets shall be consumed!

Excellent. Very well said EdB. Here is another scripture that I left out: Romans 10:14How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" Pastor Glenn |

335 | Where doe God say he is Jesus? | Acts 9:1 | Pastor Glenn | 63843 | ||
SunsetGypsy, The bible shows that Jesus' devinity is more open and plain to those that want to know and follow Him. While He hides His secrets from those that love evil: John 4:25The woman said to Him, "I know that Messiah is coming" (who is called Christ). "When He comes, He will tell us all things." 26Jesus said to her, "I who speak to you am He." Even the religious leaders rejected Him and could not see Him in the scriptures: Matt 22:41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, 42saying, "What do you think about the Christ? Whose Son is He?" They said to Him, "The Son of David." 43He said to them, "How then does David in the Spirit call Him "Lord,' saying: 44"The LORD said to my Lord, "Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool"'?[Psalm 110:1] 45If David then calls Him "Lord,' how is He his Son?" 46And no one was able to answer Him a word, nor from that day on did anyone dare question Him anymore. 1 Corinthians 2:8 which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. SunsetGypsy, If you invite Him in, He will reveal more to you also: Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. Pastor Glenn |

336 | contaminated by idols,strangled meat | Acts 15:20 | Pastor Glenn | 68283 | ||
guitarmonkey, We talked about this a little bit at: ID# 64543 Personally I see this as applying to both Jews and Gentiles. I think there is scripture concerning "...what is strangled and from blood.". These may be related to the fact that the spirit of life is in the blood. This seems to go beyond just "cerimonial laws". The spirit of the animals is supposed to return to the ground, but it is wrong to let it go through our bodies (Ecclesiastes 3:21). Why is this to be kept in the new testament? I think it is because God is saying in both the old and new testaments, that the life (spirit) is in the blood: Deuteronomy 12:23 Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh. Ecclesiastes 3:21 Who knows the spirit of the sons of men, which goes upward, and the spirit of the animal, which goes down to the earth? Ecclesiastes 12:7 and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it. Based on these scriptures concerning blood, I think that this was more than just a suggestion from the disciples. God's command "...for the blood is the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh. " is still true today for both Jew and Gentile. Pastor glenn |

338 | Gog and Magog from Genesis to Revelation | Acts 17:26 | Pastor Glenn | 79680 | ||
After doing a search for Gog and Magog I found the following scriptures: Genesis 10:2 The sons of Japheth were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. 1 Chronicles 1:5 The sons of Japheth were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. Ezekiel 38:2 "Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh,[38:2 Targum, Vulgate, and Aquila read [chief prince of ] (also verse 3).] Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him, Ezekiel 39:6 "And I will send fire on Magog and on those who live in security in the coastlands. Then they shall know that I am the LORD. Revelation 20:8 and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea. Is there something that we should recognize about the battle of Rev 20:8 by considering all of these scriptures together? Is there anything significant to be considered here? Why would Gog and Magog be important enough to mention in the book of Revelation? One strange thing I notice is how Satan is able to decieve the nations to battle even after 1000 years of Christ's rule. Pastor Glenn |
