1 | What is a cult? | Matt 16:15 | Mommapbs | 90721 | ||
Greetings Truthfinder. Perhaps we as a Forum would be wise to practice a "no name or cult calling" postion in our dialogue . . . However, it seems to me that under certain definitions that you have provided, I would qualify as a cult member, for I follow a Living Leader who promotes an unorthodox New Convenant: Grace apart from observance of the Law (I am saved from the righteous wrath of Holy God by the sacrificial death of Jesus as a propitiation for my sin) and the Leader I follow also proclaims Himself to be God! And as for "radical views that clash with what is accepted today as normal social behavior. . . " I am guilty as charged. "Thou shalt not" as well as "thou shall" still prevail for me! I choose not to participate in "socially acceptable" behaviors such as abortion, adultery, homosexuality etc. Does this make me a cult member? It is not clear from your profile who Jesus is to you so using the Word of the Lord, please answer Him: Who do you (Truthfinder) say that I (Jesus) am? mommapbs PS: What exactly IS your question? Are you attempting to establish the JW as a bonafide "denomination" of what most people recognize as "Christianity?" |

Hi again Mommapbs, You asked me “Who do I say Jesus is”. I understand the Bible clearly teaches through and through that Jesus is the “Son of God”. I believe Bible translations today confuse millions by “changing the original” into thinking Jesus is himself Almighty God. Through the centuries scribes substituted the word Lord or God for what the original had in it. If this was not done then one can easily see that Jesus is the Son of God and not Almighty God himself. The apostle John in Revelation 22:18 warned of this. I have posted in the past well over 150 different Bible translations that have restored the name of Jehovah in the New Testament alone. My only question is how and why would anyone continue to use a Bible translation that admits to its own errors? Are you a truth finder or do you want to believe a non-truth. Popular tradition has it that the fall of an apple started Sir Isaac Newton on the way to discovering the universal law of gravitation. Whatever may be the truth of this tradition, there is no question about Newton’s remarkable powers of reason. Concerning his renowned scientific work the Principia, we are told: “The whole development of modern science begins with this great book. For more than 200 years it reigned supreme.” Celebrated as were Newton’s scientific discoveries, he himself humbly acknowledged his human limitations. He was modest. Shortly before his death in 1727 he said of himself: “I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.”2 Newton appreciated that God is the Source of all truth, and in line with the deep reverence he had for his Creator, he appears to have spent even more time searching after the true God than he did in searching out scientific truths. An analysis of all that Newton wrote reveals that out of some 3,600,000 words only 1,000,000 were devoted to the sciences, whereas some 1,400,000 were on religious topics. Would you like to read what he discovered and see why he believed that same as I do about who Jesus is? Truthfinder |

Truthfinder, we must agree to disagree . . . Jesus IS God. I care not what Newton said or believed about Him - what is important is what Jesus says about Himself . . . "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am." John 8:58 Notice how He emphasizes the TRUTH here too - obviously He intended for this FACT of His Being that we KNOW for SURE! mommapbs |

Hi Mommapbs, I was not implying that you care what Newton believed, I thought you might be interested in what he discovered. He proved that the manuscripts from which many modern translations base their translations on were tampered with. Tampered with to make Jesus appear to be one and the same as his God. Is that not confusing? Jesus' referring so many times to his God, if he himself were God? And John 1:1 the Logos (word) Jesus was "with" God. How can you be God if you are "with" God? Again modern translations try and mislead us by mis-translating John 1:1. I come to realize that so many times a person will believe what he "wants" to believe, but that just simply doesn't make it so. Yes, Jesus is GOD and should be worshipped as GOD, but GOD does not equal Almighty God. God means "mighty one" Jesus is Almighty God's Son. Jesus was the beginning of the creation of Almighty God. He had a beginning. Almighty GOD desirves to be worshipped as the Almighty GOD and his name is Jehovah. Ps 83:18 King James Version Truthfinder |

The Lord our God is One God and JESUS is His Name. He IS Jehovah; He IS Jesus; therefore Jesus is Jehovah and Jehovah is Jesus. I believe our exchange has reached an impasse - may the Lord judge between us. mommapbs |
