Where do I find information on Christ's divinity?

Question

My brother is falling pray to Jehova's witnesses. I need scriptures to refute their teachings. PS. If you're a Jahova's witness please don't bother answering.

Answer 1

As suggested by an earlier answerer, you need your brother to discuss this with a Church leader such as a Catholic priest or a minister such as from the Baptist Church as mentioned.

Its not hard to refute the teachings of Jehovahs because there are so many errors and instances where they have changed their own Bible to suit or make false claims, but what can be difficult is for people like your brother to get rid of them. They can be like door to door salesmen and are trained to counter questions using slick sales techniques. That is why you and your brother need to approach this by talking with someone with superior knowledge of the ways of the Lord in the form of a Priest or Minister.

Its nice to see that despite asking for no Jehovahs to answer they still peddle their wares.

Answer 2

First off, I am not a Jehova's Witness. Secondly, if your brother is falling "prey" as you put it to them, maybe, just maybe that is where his faith and belief lie. Now if he's not sure where he belongs, what he believes in...then do your best to be supportive, not hostile to him finding a different way.
Thirdly, Christ's divinity is faith, not a fact. Sure you can find bible verses that say he is the son of God...but those are bible verses, not "fact". If you're brother is losing faith, then it is because he is losing his beliefs...no amount of "brow-beating" is going to do any good, nor strengthen it.
Be there for him, reassure him, tell him that you love him and so does God...but to try and force him, or scare him, or beat him into "christian" submission...that's not even the Christian way. Christ came for salvation, as a choice since we have free will and choice given to us by the Father who sent Christ. Only those that choose Christ are saved, not those that are subjective to a sisters leanings.
Be wary of your hostility...don't let "christianity" over-rule the teachings and free will and choice of Christ.

Mat 1:20-23; 3:17; Mark 1:9-11; Luke 1:26-45; 2:8-21, 22-38; 3:21,22 John 1:1-14, 29-34; &c,&c.

Answer 4

Do you imagine that it became as a lot because the apostles? Saul (Paul) turned right into a bounty hunter for the Roman empire Acts 9:a million, 8:3 onwards he might want to hunt Christians and bind them and produce them to Rome to be done and humiliated. My knowledge might want to be that the Romans and Greeks were given jointly on the council of nicea and presented their beliefs of a father and son god to create the trinity. God having a son became so elementary of their mythology and now that is contained in the books of Christians even although there are verses jointly with John 5:30, John 20:17 which recommend that God is one, with out companions or accomplices.

Answer 5

The 4 Gospels in the Bible:
"If you knew me then you would also know my father." John 14:7
" I have been with you for so a long time and you still do not know me Philip? Who ever has seen me has seen the father..." John 14:9
these are just a few linking Jesus as ONe in the same with God the father. Good luck.

Answer 6

The Nicene Creed

Answer 7

I almost fell into that trap myself, I prayed and asked God to show me what was true. He showed me that in the Garden before Paul chopped the ear of the solider off and Jesus healed it. That when the soilders were asking for Jesus, Jesus replied "I AM" then He asked who they were looking for they said Jesus and again he replied "I AM" all the men fell at Jesus saying his name.
God used the name of "I AM" when he called the children of Israel out of Egypt. Jesus would be a liar if he called himself I AM without being God. God can not lie. So Jesus is I AM. He is equal to God the Father and God the Holy Spirit.
Continue to seek help from more mature Christains and the Holy Bible. Don't stop praying.

Answer 8

Wow. I'm sorry to hear that. It's not just like it's another perspective on Christianity, the culture of JWs tore a number of my relatives away from us. They would come back only to proselytize and condemn. I pray you aren't too late to prevent this.

Here's what I've found:

Answer 9

Look up Dr. James Dobsion, or look up local churches in your area and contact the pastor and see if he can come out and talk to you and your brother. My dad is a Pastor of a Baptist Church so if there is anything I can do to help let me know!

Answer 10

Here are some Scriptures that help explain Jesus' true nature:

Matt. 26:39: “Going a little farther he [Jesus Christ] fell on his face and prayed, ‘My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.’”

John 8:17, 18: “[Jesus answered the Jewish Pharisees:] In your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true; I bear witness to myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness to me.”

Col. 1:15, 16: “He [Jesus Christ] is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of all creation

Rev. 1:1; 3:14, “The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him... ‘And to the angel of the church in La-odicea write: “The words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God’s creation.”’”

Mark 13:32, “Of that day or that hour no ones knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.”

Matt. 20:20-23, “Jesus answered,... ‘You will drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.’”

John 14:28: “[Jesus said:] I go to the Father; for the Father is greater than I.”

1 Cor. 11:3: “I want you to understand that ... the head of Christ is God.”

1 Cor. 8:5, 6: “Although there may be so-called gods in heaven or on earth—as indeed there are many ‘gods’ and many ‘lords’—yet for us there is one God, the Father

1 Pet. 1:3: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!”

(Deuteronomy 6:4) Jehovah our God is one Jehovah

(1 Corinthians 8:4-6) There is no God but one. For even though there are those who are called “gods,” whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many “gods” and many “lords,” there is actually to us one God the Father, out of whom all things are, and we for him

(Philippians 2:5,6) Christ Jesus... gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God
