1 | Who is Jesus' God? | John 3:16 | Huron | 112038 | ||
Tara1 Thanks for your reply. The versions I respect (NASB, KJV) support the meaning I provided. NWT may support your view, but that version isn't widely respected. Seems we have to both go with a version we respect. I would like to use NASB, you would like to use NWT. Let's use KJV. Jesus was very clear. In John 10:30, He said that I and the Father are one! In Isiah 44:6, God says, "Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I [am] the first, and I [am] the last; and beside me [there is] no God" Jesus say's the same thing in Revelation 1:8, "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty." To prove that this is Jesus speaking, Revelation 1:18 say's, "I [am] he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death." |

2 | Who is Jesus' God? | John 3:16 | Ray | 112052 | ||
Hi Huron, We could wish that Tara and other Jehovah's Witnesses would see that they have made Jesus into a strange god. They have fashioned a graven image and they fall down before it and worship. They pray to it and say, "Deliver me, for thou art my god." Isaiah 44:18, "They do not know, nor do they understand, for (He) has smeared over their eyes so that they cannot see and their hearts so that they cannot comprehend." We could wish that they were His witnesses and witnesses of the Way. Isaiah 44:8, "Do not tremble and do not be afraid; Have I not long since announced it to you and declared it? And you are ***My witnesses. Is there any God besides Me/, Or is there any other Rock? I know of none." For this is what Jesus said in John 14:6. "I am the ***Way, the Truth and the Life/. No one comes to the Father, but through Me. If you had know (Me)..." Their eyes are smeared and they do not know (Him), otherwise they would have known and seen the Father through Him. But we can rejoice in knowing Jesus Christ as the faithful witness, the first-born of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. And He who is and who was and who is to come has made US to be a kingdom. Revelation 1:6, "And He/ has made us to be a kingdom, priests to [God and His (Father)]." The brackets show the alternate reading in the NASB margin for "His God and Father". The parentheses and stars are mine for comparisons. From the heart, Ray |
