Subject: Who is Jesus' God? |
Bible Note: 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 |
