1 | One God, One Jesus Christ | 1 Cor 8:5 | Tara022 | 130227 | ||
Hi Noveta, I do not ridiculte the apostle Paul. He clearly says, "one God, the Father". So the Son (Jesus) can't be the one God that we are to worship (the Father) nor the God to pray to (since we pray to the Father through the Son, Jesus). The Scripture is exactly right, don't listen to Tim or the others that twist the scriptures and try to say that the Bible says that we should worship Jesus as our Almighty Creator and Father. If the Bible (and it does) refer to certain men as mighty ones (gods) or angels as mighty (gods) or Jesus as mighty (thos/elohim) then I believe it. We must not take away the honor due our heavenly Father, Jehovah, Jesus' God. Remember, many times Jesus says, "my God". We honor or worship Jesus in a relative sense, as he truly is, the mighty Son of God, through whom all the universe was created, and whom alone is called God's only-begotten Son. Jesus constantly tells us to worship the Father, again and again! Jesus cannot get any clearer when he says at Matt. 4:10, "Then Jesus said to him: “Go away, Satan! For it is written, ‘It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’” I believe Jesus over what's spread in so-called Christian religions. I wonder too why most trinitarian Bible versions today translate "theon" without the definite article as "a god" in Acts 28:6 but in John 1:1 they choose to make it appear Jesus is Almighty God by translating it as "God" eventhough there's no definite article preceding the "theos" in question! After all, the verse tells us that the Word was with God. So the context tells us that the Word is "a god". Otherwise the translation is "out of context". The same Greek construction is found in Acts 28:6 as is in John 1:1, thus the New World Translation is consistant, accurate, and scholarly. Notice what these Greek scholars translate John 1:1 as: 1808 “and the word was a god” The New Testament, in An Improved Version, Upon the Basis of Archbishop Newcome’s New Translation: With a Corrected Text, London. 1864 “and a god was the Word” The Emphatic Diaglott (J21, interlinear reading), by Benjamin Wilson, New York and London. 1935 “and the Word was divine” The Bible—An American Translation, by J. M. P. Smith and E. J. Goodspeed, Chicago. 1950 “and the Word was a god” New World Translation of the Christian Greek Scriptures, Brooklyn. 1975 “and a god (or, of a divine Das Evangelium nach kind) was the Word” Johannes, by Siegfried Schulz,Göttingen, Germany. 1978 “and godlike sort was Das Evangelium nach the Logos” Johannes,by Johannes Schneider,Berlin. 1979 “and a god was the Logos” Das Evangelium nach Johannes,by Jürgen Becker, Würzburg, Germany. These translations use such words as “a god,” “divine” or “godlike” because the Greek word (theos) is a singular predicate noun occurring before the verb and is not preceded by the definite article and is (please note) contrasted with the articular theos (ho theos). Yes, the Word is contrasted with the God, otherwise John would have had the definite article preceding both theos's. This is clear and simple, so don't believe twisted trinitarian explainations. |

2 | One God, One Jesus Christ | 1 Cor 8:5 | Noveta | 130249 | ||
With due respect Tara, I am a new christian. I get enough of this in my home. I am so happy to find a christian web site. I have your Watch Towers.. I have studied with you for years. Even though I am new I understand that your bible is different from mine. Out of your bible comes a different Christ. I believe in the Christ.. that is not Michael the Angel.. Read Hebrews chapter one 1. This is what I have learned.. I agree with the other posts.. Please find a JW study forum. I leave you with this wonderful scripture. It helped me to understand Jesus's position as both man and god. It was also stated in another post. Phil. 2:5-8, "Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross." GOD BLESS.. |

Noveta, it is unfortunate that you, a new Christian, should be exposed here on this Forum to Jehovah's Witness lies posted by Tara. Twice before the Lockman Foundation revoked posting privileges of this user, but she has made yet another effort to promulgate JW heresy by registering under a different user name. This is a sneaky and deceptive practice and, it shows to what lengths false teachers will go to parade their garbage. Rest assured that further, more stringent action will be taken on this matter very quickly. --Hank | ||||||
