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!

Jesus is the Son of God, there are three persons in one God, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.God did not die when Jesus did. The three persons in one God is what is known as the Holy Trinity.

Jesus isn't really God. He is the son of God who was sent down to earth to make things right. God didn't die instead He sent Jesus to die to the cross so everyones sins can be forgiven. The is why Jesus is called the Lamb because he was sacrificed

No He didn't. Jesus is God in human form. God and Jesus are spiritually the same along with the Holy Spirit (this is called the Trinity) but separate. In the bible God manifested himself in three forms: God the Omnipotent all knowing being, God the human sacrifice (Jesus), God the spirit (The Holy Spirit).

Jesus is the Son of God. The Son of God died and rose from the dead on the thrid day. God the Father did not die when Jesus did.

Jesus is the son of God. When Jesus died on the cross for us so we could have evrlasting life, he then was reserected (easter) He then had the Last Supper and went to heaven. God never died. Jesus is not God.

God sent down Jesus like himself. You have to realize that God has the power to do anything and will live for ever because he is a spirit.

First of all, who said Jesus was Jehovah God?
Because if he were, when you ask people, Who is Jesus?
They don't say God and His son. Because you can't be God and his son.

Some people are saying that he isnt god, he was the son of god. Then where does the trinity fit in? Some one if Jesus was god who was he praying to saying oh my father, some said he was praying to himself. Great, now i am really confused.

jesus is gods first born of all creation
Therefore, he is called God’s “only-begotten Son.” (John 3:16)
jesus was resurected after his death to heaven
death was not the end of his life course. The third stage of his life began about three days later when God resurrected his Son as a spirit person. After his resurrection, Jesus appeared to hundreds of people living in the first century C.E. (1 Corinthians 15:3-8) Thereafter, he “sat down at the right hand of God” and waited to receive kingly power. (Hebrews 10:12, 13)
‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord’ (Deut. 6:4)
The word "trinity" is NEVER even found in the bible.
John 8:17, 18, RS: “[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.” (So, Jesus definitely spoke of himself as being an individual separate and distinct from the Father.)
>Never let someone "tell" you about the bible. Ask them to PROVE IT. If they cant even use the scriptures to back it up, you know its not true or it may just be 'philosophy'!
