Bible Note: "The New World Bible Translation Committee expressed a different judgment in this place by the translation “a god.”" Hi, Tara! I suggest that you take a sabbatical from the fallacies of the New World Bible Translation Committee! Can't you see how confused they are? They want you to deny Jesus as your God while simultaneously advocating that you accept Him as your god... don't you see the error on this? Please, before it is too late, ask a Christian congregation to give you a Bible and study it (first by yourself, then as you gain some familiarity with Scripture with other Christian), but empty yourself of all those fallacies to which you have been exposed; go to the Holy Spirit with a humble mind and heart; listen to God's Word without preconceived ideologies... listen carefully for God's counsel: Jesus, the Truth, will set you free! Listen to what Yahweh tells us: You yourselves are my witnesses, declares Yahweh, and the servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that it is I. No god was formed before me, nor will be after me. I, I am Yahweh, and there is no other Saviour but me. (Isaiah 43:10-11) Do you understand this Scriptural passage? There is no play on Greek or any other grammar... it is concise and precise: no other god exists but Yahweh! And when Yahweh call's Jesus the Emmanuel (God with us: Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23) or when He openly calls Him God (Hebrews 1:8) Yahweh certainly does not mean that there a new god/God for Israel; it is the same ole God from ancient time: IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD AND THE WORD WAS GOD! I once offered you a complete study on the Trinity/Divinity of Jesus... I reiterate my offer, if you wish it, I can prepare a Bible study for you that will enclude Scripture from both the Old Testament and the New Testament--I will not even ask you to visit my Church... In the mean while, I pray to the Holy Spirit that He shines on you with God's Mercy and Grace and awaken a true discipleship in you so that you may believe in God as He wants us to believe and worship Him! God Bless! Angel |
