1 | Miss JW, Who Is Jesus? | Bible general Archive 2 | MissJW | 122189 | ||
Hello Hank, I noticed you had several questions for me and are marked as unanswered. I notice too that probably very few will read this post since it has now become "restricted". I notice that this happens when Biblical "truths" are presented here on this forum but disliked. Other Bible study forums don't do that you know. Anyway, you already know the answers to the questions you ask of me, thus elucidating would be of no avail. So I wonder why you ask? Do you really desire a scholarly exegesis of John 1:1 or just the run of the mill eisegesis? Hank, I believe the Bible. I know what the Bible says. I know what history and tradition of man tells us. And I know that poor hermeneutical practice is one thing but rejection of simple blatant logic is another. I know too that Jesus taught me to love my enemies. I totally admire people that can do that don't you? They are special people, I asure you, not only to me but especially to our omniscient and omnipotent Creator and to his Son our beloved Lord and Savior. Miss JW |

2 | Isa. 5:14 - why "Jerusalem" in text? | Is 5:14 | MissJW | 120456 | ||
Hi Rich, You are correct. The manuscripts do not have "Jerusalem" in their texts. It was evidently inserted for clearity. The American Translation doesn't have it in it either. The other two translations that I know of that do also are the CEV or Contempory English Version and the GNB, Good News Bible. The use of brackets would have been a better choice, I feel. But your more literal translalations like the NWT, New World Translation stays closer to the ancient manuscripts. The preface of the NASB states, "When it was felt that the word-for-word literalness was unacceptable to the modern reader, a change was made in the direction of a more current English idiom." Eventhough no idiom is present here, a change was still made. I personally feel the American Translation is a better translation than the NASB for several reasons. MissJW |

3 | Why do yo say JW's are a cult? | Bible general Archive 2 | MissJW | 118805 | ||
Hi Aniset, Well, actually we may be a cult. The first century Christians might be classified a cult too. O well. And the reasons given for us being a cult doesn't fit with what a cult today is. Anyway, have you noticed how this thread "has been temporarily restricted from appearing on the homepage? That happens when basic simple Bible truths get explained here but disagreed with. But you probably already know that, :-) Just thought I would say hi. Miss JW |

4 | why has God forsaken Jesus on the cross? | Matt 27:46 | MissJW | 118710 | ||
Hello Paz63, Very good question. This is how I understand Matt. 27:46. It was about three o’clock in the afternoon, Jesus feels that his end is near. “I am thirsty,” he says. Then with a loud voice, he cries out: “E´li, E´li, la´ma sa·bach·tha´ni?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Jesus can sense that his Father has, as it were, withdrawn protection from him to allow his integrity to be tested to the limit, and he quotes David’s words of Ps. 22:1. Someone then puts a sponge soaked in sour wine to Jesus’ lips. Having had some of the wine, Jesus gasps: “It has been accomplished!” Then he cries out, “Father, into your hands I entrust my spirit,” bows his head, and expires. John 19:28-30 Even while experiencing excruciating pain, Jesus showed his depth of feeling. He tenderly entrusted his mother to “the disciple whom he loved", evidently the apostle John. (John 19:26, 27) When he saw evidence of repentance in one of the evildoers impaled alongside him, Jesus compassionately said: “You will be with me in Paradise.” (Luke 23:43) In the Bible paradise is a beautiful park, or a parklike garden. The three terms (Hebrew par·des´, Persian pairidaeza, and Greek pa·ra´dei·sos), all convey the basic idea of a beautiful park or parklike garden. The first such park was that of Ge 2:8, 9, 15, the Garden of Eden or Paradise. Acts 2:31 also provides profound scriptural insight, for it says, "he saw beforehand and spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that neither was he forsaken in Ha´des nor did his flesh see corruption. 32 This Jesus God resurrected, of which fact we are all witnesses. 33 Therefore because he was exalted to the right hand of God and received the promised holy spirit from the Father, he has poured out this which YOU see and hear. 34 Actually David did not ascend to the heavens, but he himself says, ‘Jehovah said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand, 35 until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet.”’ 36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know for a certainty that God made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom YOU impaled.” Yes, Jesus lay dead totally unconscience for 3 days until his Father resurrected him from the dead, for he wasn't left or forsaken in the grave (hades) Eccl. 9:5: “The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all.” Ps. 146:4: “His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts [“thoughts,” KJ, 145:4 in Dy; “all his thinking,” NE; “plans,” RS, NAB] do perish.” John 11:11-14: “‘Lazarus our friend has gone to rest, but I am journeying there to awaken him from sleep.’ . . . Jesus said to them outspokenly: ‘Lazarus has died.’” Ezek. 18:4 likewise clearly shows us that the soul dies, “The soul [“soul,” RS, NE, KJ, Dy, Kx; “man,” JB; “person,” TEV] that is sinning—it itself will die.” MissJW |

5 | Tara1 - Is Jesus true or false god? | OT general | MissJW | 108873 | ||
Hi Mrs B, I see no dilemna with my theology of the Bible. 2 Tim 3:16. I will answer each and every one of your questions, Biblically, if you first please explain how your theology can agree with the following: *If Jesus is God and he is at the right hand of God, is he by himself? (Acts 7:55, Ro 8:34, Eph 1:20) *If Jesus is God when he said, “I am ascending to my God and your God” did he ascend to himself? (John 20:17) *If Jesus is the God of the headship principle how can he be head over himself? (1 Cor 11:3) *If Jesus is God to whom does he turn over the kingdom at the end of the thousand years? (1 Cor 15:24) *If Jesus is God to whom did he pray? (John 17:1) *If Jesus is God why did he tell the people in the temple you know me and you know where I am from, but you do not know the one who sent me? (John 7:28,29) *If Jesus is God why did the high priest call him the Son of God? (Matt 26:63) *If Jesus is God why did unclean spirits prostrate themselves before him and call him the Son of God? (Mark 3:11) *If Jesus is God why would the Almighty God himself call Jesus his Son? After all he would know his own son. (Matthew 3:16,17) *If no man has seen God why did people see Jesus when he walked the earth? (John 1:18) *If Jesus is God why did he call himself God’s Son? (John 10:36) *If Jesus is God why did he say, “my father is greater than I?” (John 14:28) *If Jesus is God why did he die? (Jeremiah 10:10, Psalm 90:2) *Who resurrected Jesus? Did he resurrect himself? *If Jesus is God who was in charge the three days and three nights he was dead in the grave? (Matthew 16:21) *If Jesus is God who gave him the Book of Revelation which he shared with John? (Rev 1:1) *If Jesus is God who said “You are my Son, I, today, have become your father”? (Heb 1:5) *If Jesus is God and also the mediator between God and man, does he mediate with himself? (1 Timothy 2:5) *Why did the Devil offer all the kingdoms of the world to Jesus? If he was God he could just take them anytime he wanted. (Matthew 4:8,9) *If Jesus is God why did the centurion assigned to guard him say, “Truly this was the Son of God”? (Matthew 27:54) *If Jesus is God why did the two robbers on the torture stake next to him refer to him as the Son of God? (Matthew 27:40) *Why did the angel tell Mary Jesus would be called God’s Son and the Son of the Most High? (Luke 1:32,35) *Why did the Apostle John testify in the Gospel of John, “this is the Son of God”? (John 1:34 and John 20:31) *If he is God why did Nathanael call Jesus, “Son of God, king of Israel”? (John 1:49) *When Jesus resurrected Lazarus, Martha called him the Christ the Son of God at John 11:27. Martha knew! *Even the Jews knew his claim to be the Son of God and said, “He ought to die because he made himself out to be the Son of God.” (John 19:7) *After meeting Jesus, with the vision fresh in his mind, the newly converted Paul, “began to preach Jesus, that this one is the Son of God.” The vision was fresh in his mind. Jesus has revealed his true personality to Paul. (Acts 9:20) *Revelation Chapter 3 is the “My God and Father” chapter. Five times Jesus refers to Jehovah the almighty God as “my God” and twice as “my Father.” The resurrected, in heaven, Jesus Christ says he is not God! *If Jesus is God his ransom sacrifice would be unequal to Adam, because Gods’ perfection is greater than Adams’.
