1 | One God, One Jesus Christ | 1 Cor 8:5 | Morant61 | 130612 | ||
Greetings Mary! Welcome to the forum! I do pray that you have not fallen prey to the false teachings of the self proclaimed Jehovah's Witnesses. They teach that Jehovah is just one of many gods. They believe that He is the greatest of the gods, but not the only god. The problem is that Jehovah Himself denies this teaching. Allow me to illustrate: 1) Is. 45:5 - "I am the LORD, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not acknowledged me," 2) iS. 45:18 - "For this is what the LORD says— he who created the heavens, he is God; he who fashioned and made the earth, he founded it; he did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited — he says: ‘I am the LORD, and there is no other." 3) Is. 45:22 - "Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other." 4) Is. 46:9 - "Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me." 5) Is. 43:10 - "'You are my witnesses,' declares the LORD, 'and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me." Here are five verses where Jehovah specifically says that there are no other gods but Him. Now, who do you believe? Jehovah or His self proclaimed witnesses. The last verse is my favorite example. In Is. 43, Jehovah does speak of witnesses, yet these witnesses are witnesses to the exact opposite of what Jehovah actually says. In other words, they are false witnesses. Look closely at Is. 45:22! Jehovah says that there is no other god but Him, yet the JW's teach that there are many gods. Look closely at Is. 43:10! Jehovah says that there is no god formed either before or after Him, yet JW's teach that Jehovah created a 'god' named Jesus. Who is right? If you have fallen prey to this false teaching, I urge you to be honest with the text of Scripture. Don't let anyone lead you astray. These verse are clear, plain, and unqualified.

2 | Jehovah is the only true God | 1 Cor 8:5 | Noveta | 130876 | ||
I am only responding to this thread because of the wonderful list of scriptures you have quoted. I think the only way to prevent Tara from posting is to NOT respond to her post. However, I will like to digress and study the scripture so that it feeds my soul. When I read these scriptures, that you have posted, I understand that Jehovah is the only God. It does say that the Devil is the god of this world. (2 Cor. 4: 4; Jn. 12: 31) But that is only because people have fallen prey to worshipping him. Like mentioning in the other posts many things are gods (money, people). They are gods because they are worshipped. They are gods because they or it has influenced people not to follow the only true God's commandments. In other words, instead of following God's commandments, they choose otherwise. If you want to know and follow the only true God ..then you must follow Jehovah..He can strenghten you. No other gods can make your stronger. Money will not make you stronger. The devil will not make you stronger. for he says: Is. 45:5 - "I am the LORD, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God...I will strengthen you, though you have not acknowledged me," This my interpretation..Have I interpreted it correctly? |

3 | Jehovah is the only true God | 1 Cor 8:5 | Morant61 | 130883 | ||
Greetings Noveta! Thank you for your response my sister! I was beginning to believe that no one could read plain English! :-) You are absolutely correct. If I could couch your response in more precise language, I would say: There are many things that are called 'gods' by people, but they are not by nature 'gods'. Jehovah Himself says that there is only one God! In one of my posts, I quoted Isaiah's wonderful passage about a man taking a piece of wood, using part of it to cook his food and making a 'god' out of the rest. You should read the entire passage. It is quite entertaining. The point is that simply calling something a 'god' doesn't make it so! :-) Keep up your excellent study of the Word and we will continue to hold you and your husband up in prayer. Perhaps, if you take him to the verses I listed in Isaiah, his eyes will begin to be opened to the truth. I think it would be much easier to share these verses with cultists in person, since they simply couldn't ignore them like they do on this forum. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Thank you so much. This web site is a blessing. I like your statement: There are many things that are called 'gods' by people, but they are not by nature 'gods'. Jehovah Himself says that there is only one God! Now that it is established that Jehovah is the only true God and there are other (false) gods.. then what does that make Jesus.. He is not "a god", that would of course make him a false god. We know that is not true. Our Savior is not a false god. Jesus paid for our sins. He is perfect in every way. Not false.. He is the truth and the light.. He is GOD in the Flesh..who for a little while lower than the angels and took the nature of man so that he could fulfill the prophecy!!! John 1:1 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Your Sister in Christ, Noveta |

Greetings Noveta! Excellent! Notice the difference with John 1:1! People are not simply 'calling' Jesus 'a god'. John 1:1 defines His very nature as 'God'. Thus, He must be Jehovah! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
