Yes, I do indeed know Him
Jesus The Christ, who walked this earth about 2000 yrs ago, was both Fully God and fully man. The mortal flesh of Jesus was sacrificed so that His Blood would pay the sin debt of all of mankind. Past, present, and future..... Now, All who come to God in The Way He prescribes will be seen by God to be without sin because The Bood of Christ covers all sin of those who come as God Prescribes. those receive God's free gift of Salvation and become of The Body of The Church of which Jesus The Christ is The Head... Only those of The Church will enter heaven.

Yes, John 1:1,2,
In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with the God, a god was the Word. This one was in the beginning with the God.
(A word for word translation of the original text,
John left out "the" at god(2), since John left out this expression, an honest translator can't put it in by saying 'the Word was (the) God' because (the) is not implied.
The english expression "with the God" means that two separate individuals are next to each other.
Therefore context shows that Jesus and God are different individuals,
This understanding agrees with
Rev 1: 6and He has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father--to Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
We become priests to His God! If John didn't believe in a trinity, why should we?
Rev 3:12'He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God, and My new name.
If Jesus didn't believe in a trinity, why should we?
Our understanding of Col 1:16 has to agree with Col 1:15.
15He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
16For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities--all things have been created through Him and for Him.
Jesus is the image of God, firstborn (look up born or begotten in a dictionary) first creation, and all things were created through him.
An honest unbias reading of the bible shows that Jehovah's Witnesses really know Jesus, our King and Lord.

The Quran does no longer say that the Bible is 'real' or a 'solid scripture' everywhere. The Quran rather tells us that Jesus develop into the Messiah and a PROPHET, and that develop into he develop into despatched the Ingeel (gospel) yet that Christians forgot a lot of His message. listed below are the correct verses from the Quran From those, too, who call themselves Christians, We did take a covenant, yet they forgot a sturdy area of the message that develop into despatched them: so we estranged them, with enmity and hatred between the single and the different, to the day of judgment. and soon will Allah coach them what that is they have carried out. [Quran translation 5:14] O human beings of the e book! dedicate no excesses on your faith: Nor say of Allah aught in spite of the undeniable fact that the fact. Christ Jesus the son of Mary develop into (no more beneficial than) an apostle of Allah, and His observe, which He bestowed on Mary, and a spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in Allah and His apostles. Say no longer "Trinity" : desist: it will be more beneficial for you: for Allah is one Allah. Glory be to Him: (far exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belong all issues contained in the heavens and on the earth. And sufficient is Allah as a Disposer of affairs. [Quran translation 4:171] Your argument is with no premise and therefore pretend. there are a range of Bibles produced from mutliple variations, languages, with contradictory verses, all being procalimed to be 'the observe of God'. no feasible doubt that the Quran says fact about the Bible, and Torah for that count. The Quran apart from tells the fact about Jesus, that he develop right into a large prophet despatched by technique of God yet no longer God. Islam is the fact.

Jehovah's Witnesses are Christians; they teach that Christ was and is divine and of the same nature as God. Witnesses do not teach that Jesus was ever a mere angel, but that he was and is the 'chief of the angels' or archangel. In the bible, the term "archangel" is only used in the singular, and only in reference to Jesus.
Jehovah's Witnesses teach that no salvation occurs without Christ, that accepting Christ's sacrifice is a requirement for true worship, that every prayer must acknowledge Christ, that Christ is the King of God's Kingdom, that Christ is the head of the Christian congregation, that Christ is immortal and above every creature, even that Christ was the 'master worker' in creating the universe!
Jehovah's Witnesses love and respect and honor Christ. However, Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the Scriptures quite plainly demonstrate that Jesus and the Almighty are separate distinct persons, and the Almighty created Jesus as His firstborn son.
(Colossians 1:15) the firstborn of all creation
(Mark 10:18) Jesus said to him: 'Why do you call me good? Nobody is good, except one, God.
(Revelation 3:14) the Amen says, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation by God
(Philippians 2:5-6) Christ Jesus, who, although he was existing in God's form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God
(John 8:42) Neither have I come of my own initiative at all, but that One sent me forth
(John 12:49) I have not spoken out of my own impulse, but the Father himself who sent me has given me a commandment as to what to tell and what to speak
(John 14:28) I am going my way to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am
(1 Corinthians 15:28) But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him
(Matthew 20:23) this sitting down at my right hand and at my left is not mine to give, but it belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by my Father
(1 Corinthians 11:3) I want you to know that the head of every man is the Christ; ...in turn the head of the Christ is God
(John 20:17) I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.
(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
Thanks again for an opportunity to share what the bible actually says about the distinct persons of Jesus Christ the Son and Jehovah God the Father!

What is written in the Bible is heavily influenced by St. Paul, who never personally knew Jesus while he was alive. St. Paul turned Jesus into a God to satisfy his need for religious answers, and his needs became a religion we call Christianity.
We can only know about the real Jesus by filtering out the religious nonsense of St. Paul.
Jesus was a very unusual person who sought to reform religion and explore new possibilities for religion. He wanted to move beyond religion as being a set of rules of behavior and instead redirect religion to helping and caring for those in need, whenever the need existed. And he wanted to emphasize the hidden potential of each and every person that exist even though they are blind to their own potential.
St. Paul petty much put an end to that vision as he didn't understand what Jesus was trying to do, just as most Christians don't have any idea what Jesus was trying to do.
So we ended up with a religion that people fought wars over, the suppressed science, that dragged civilization into a dark age for humanity, and, even today, attempts to satisfy humanity with superstition, magic, and miracles, and silly nonsense.

Yes, I do know Him personally. I talk to God everyday and sometimes many times a day through the authority of Jesus. He is my Savior and my Messiah. Thank God for Jesus. God Bless.

Er, Jesus is a guy who preached for a while 2000 years ago, then was killed by the Romans (right?). That's pretty much the whole story.

Why do you go on the internet to ask people about their relationship with Jesus, while pointing out what faults you think other religions have? Are you trying to help save people? I don't think there is anything wrong with JW or Mormon teachings etc. If people are all doing good, what's it to you?

Jesus Christ is my savior! He died for my (and everyone elses) sins, so that I could live with him for eternity and I will serve him all of my days.
