Yes, Ps 83, I understand about what JW's teach, That [men] may know that thou, whose name alone [is] JEHOVAH, [art] the most high over all the earth. In response to your question of, 'how is it possible for Jesus to pray to himself' Have you ever heard of the hypostatic union? What this means, is: Jesus is God in human flesh. He is not half God and half man. He is fully divine and fully man. That is, Jesus has two distinct natures: divine and human. Jesus is the Word who was God and was with God and was made flesh, (John 1:1,14). This means that in the single person of Jesus is both a human and divine nature. The divine nature was not changed. It was not altered. He is not merely a man who "had God within Him" nor is he a man who "manifested the God principle." He is God, second person of the Trinity. "The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word," (Heb. 1:3, NIV). Jesus' two natures are not "mixed together," nor are they combined into a new God-man nature. They are separate yet act as a unit in the one person of Jesus. This is called the Hypostatic Union. Jesus prayed to the Father because as a man, under the Law (Gal. 4:4), he needed to pray to the Father. The Bible teaches that he was both God and man (Col. 2:9; John 8:58 with Ex. 3:14). Also, Jesus has two natures. Therefore, we will see two types of scripture concerning Jesus: those that seem to focus on His divine-side, and those that seem to focus on His human-side. The Jehovah's Witnesses are simply ignoring, or changing, the divine-side scriptures and concentrating on those that describe His human-side. But that does not make those verses any less valid. See Hypostatic Union (at carm.org) for information on the two natures of Jesus. If you go there, you are also able to find why JW teachings are in error, by simply typing in 'cults' on the home page. Then click the link to Jehova Witnesses. I could go on, about many of your comments, such as: 'firstborn over all creation' The mistranslation of the word, 'firstborn' is the problem, and proves the doctrine to be false.. But I won't continue with that here... May our Lord bless you as you seek His truth |

Psa 83, for your benefit, and the benefit of readers on this forum, I have listed here several verses where Jesus is said to be God: "But of the Son He says, "Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever, and the righteous scepter is the scepter of His kingdom." Heb 1:8 "Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!" John 20:28 "I and the Father are one." The Jews took up stones again to stone Him. Jesus answered them, "I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?" The Jews answered Him, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God." John 10:30-33 "I said therefore to you, that you shall die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you shall die in your sins." Note: In the Greek, "He" is not there. John 8:24 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." "And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth." John 1:1, 1:14 Now, I have had JW's say to me that, yes, Jesus is called God, but he is not called 'Almighty God' However, the Bible proves that theory to be foundless as well. son |
