did anyone actually read the real bible .. all u people read is the modified version .. everyone changes it .. it was changed a longgggggg time ago

Answer 1

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!

You are so right. I'm a Christian (Jehovah's Witness).
The Truth About the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit

PEOPLE who believe the Trinity teaching say that God consists of three persons—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Each of these three persons is said to be equal to the others, almighty, and without beginning. According to the Trinity doctrine, therefore, the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God, yet there is only one God.

Many who believe the Trinity admit that they are not able to explain this teaching. Still, they may feel that it is taught in the Bible. It is worth noting that the word “Trinity” never occurs in the Bible. But is the idea of a Trinity found there? To answer this question, let us look at a scripture that supporters often cite to uphold the Trinity.

“THE WORD WAS GOD”

John 1:1 states: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (King James Version) Later in the same chapter, the apostle John clearly shows that “the Word” is Jesus. (John 1:14) Since the Word is called God, however, some conclude that the Son and the Father must be part of the same God.

Bear in mind that this part of the Bible was originally written in Greek. Later, translators rendered the Greek text into other languages. A number of Bible translators, though, did not use the phrase “the Word was God.” Why not? Based on their knowledge of Biblical Greek, those translators concluded that the phrase “the Word was God” should be translated differently. How? Here are a few examples: “The Logos [Word] was divine.” (A New Translation of the Bible) “The Word was a god.” (The New Testament in an Improved Version) “The Word was with God and shared his nature.” (The Translator’s New Testament) According to these translations, the Word is not God himself. Instead, because of his high position among Jehovah’s creatures, the Word is referred to as “a god.” Here the term “god” means “mighty one.”

GET MORE FACTS

Most people do not know Biblical Greek. So how can you know what the apostle John really meant? Think of this example: A schoolteacher explains a subject to his students. Afterward, the students differ on how to understand the explanation. How can the students resolve the matter? They could ask the teacher for more information. No doubt, learning additional facts would help them to understand the subject better. Similarly, to grasp the meaning of John 1:1, you can look in the Gospel of John for more information on Jesus’ position. Learning additional facts on this subject will help you to draw the right conclusion.

For instance, consider what John further writes in chapter 1, verse 18: “No man has seen [Almighty] God at any time.” However, humans have seen Jesus, the Son, for John says: “The Word [Jesus] was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory.” (John 1:14, KJ) How, then, could the Son be part of Almighty God? John also states that the Word was “with God.” But how can an individual be with someone and at the same time be that person? Moreover, as recorded at John 17:3, Jesus makes a clear distinction between himself and his heavenly Father. He calls his Father “the only true God.” And toward the end of his Gospel, John sums up matters by saying: “These have been written down that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God.” (John 20:31) Notice that Jesus is called, not God, but the Son of God. This additional information provided in the Gospel of John shows how John 1:1 should be understood. Jesus, the Word, is “a god” in the sense that he has a high position but is not the same as Almighty God.

CONFIRM THE FACTS

Think again about the example of the schoolteacher and the students. Imagine that some still have doubts, even after listening to the teacher’s additional explanation. What could they do? They could turn to another teacher for further information on the same subject. If the second teacher confirms the explanation of the first one, the doubts of most students may be put to rest. Similarly, if you are not sure what the Bible writer John was really saying about the relationship between Jesus and Almighty God, you could turn to another Bible writer for further information. Consider what was written by Matthew, for example. Regarding the end of this system of things, he quotes Jesus as saying: “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father.” (Matthew 24:36) How do these words confirm that Jesus is not Almighty God?

Jesus says that the Father knows more than the Son does. If Jesus were part of Almighty God, however, he would know the same facts as his Father. So, then, the Son and the Father cannot be equal. Yet, some will say: ‘Jesus had two natures. Here he speaks as a man.’ But even if that were so, what about the holy spirit? If it is part of the same God as the Father, why does Jesus not say that it knows what the Father knows?

As you continue your Bible studies, you will become familiar with many more Bible passages that have a bearing on this subject. They confirm the truth about the Father, the Son, and the holy spirit.—Psalm 90:2; Acts 7:55; Colossians 1:15.

Answer 3

John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.

In the beginning, see Gen 1:1. Word. Greeks used this term not only of the spoken word but also of the unspoken word, the word still in the mind - the reason When they applied to the universe, they meant the rational principle that governs all things. Jews, on the other hand, used it as a way of referring to God. John used the term that was meaningful to both Jews and Gentiles.

With God. The Word was distinct from the Father.

Was God. Jesus was God in the fullest sense. ( look Rom 9:5 ).

The prologue, verses from 1 to 18 begins and ends with a ringing affirmation of His deity ( look 18 )

Jesus fulfilled the Bible prophecy. He did what He came to do here. Sin needed to be punished. Jesus died for all of our sins. Eternity is a free gift,but not inexpensive. You need to let God know if you accept it or not.

Jesus died, ( He did not have to die, no one killed Him, He gave His life so that we can have everlasting life with Him ) and conquered the death. He rose from the death. He is God, living God, no matter what you think of Him. : )

Answer 4

Jesus can die, but only if that's what He choses. Jesus chose to let Himself die because He wanted to pay the price for our sins. It was the only way we could have a chance to go to heaven. The bible is clear, the wages of sin is death. It doesn't matter who pays those wages, as long as somebody does it.
God and God's son can do anything-absolutely anything- He wants, including die. And He didn't stay dead, He rose from the grave. And I love Jesus AND God. They are both God anyway.

Answer 5

Jesus's divinity was a matter decided upon at the Council of Nicea, sponsored by the pagan emperor Constantinople in the 6th century. At this council, countless issues of Christianity were decided upon. For Christians during that time, Jesus was mortal one day and divine the next. Before that decision, he was viewed as a great and powerful prophet, but a mortal nonetheless . So to answer your question; Jesus's divinity was not decided upon at the time the angels announced it or whatever; it was a decision made by a sort of "think tank" of Christianity.

Answer 6

God came to earth in the form of the man, Jesus. Jesus died for men, because of the love of God for man. God in the form of the Father and of the Holy Ghost did not die.

Answer 7

As a test of your faith. If you believe in Him, and honor Him, Live by Him and His Word, then He will know you and save you. God needed to give us a physical sight of Him, knowing humans have a hard time believing through faith alone. He showed us through Christ that God does exist. Jesus found believers not only in His life, but through His death. Some of those that hadn't come around to believing in Him when He was alive, finally did when He rose after death.

God did, and will only, show us this evidence once, through His only Son. He knew that it would then create a nation of believers; the descendants of the original believers later called Christians. Unfortunately, as we get further and further away from the actual events, more and more people refuse to believe it actually happened because they didn't witness it with their own eyes. God knew this would happen, and by His Grace alone, He promises that those that continue believing, in faith alone, they will be saved.

He didn't die in the spiritual sense, He ascended up to Heaven.

Answer 8

Nowhere in the Bible(akjv) is it taught the Jesus was created.Mary was overshadowed by the power of the Highest.So Mary was not with child of man but of the HOLY GHOST. Jesus was born not created,but born through the Holy Spirit(same as Holy Ghost) Therefore he is of the same substance as Elohim.So he's 100% GOD &100% man.All things were created by him.And he alone paid the price for our sins in his body.He died was buried and rose again for our justification.

Answer 9

Because Jesus said He was.
When Piolet spoke to Him he ask "Are to God?" and Jesus answered "You have said so." Meaning yes.
Also in Gen. God said let Us make man in our image.
Jesus is God for God is 3 in 1. God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and God the Holy Spirit.
You are also a 3 in 1, You are body, soul and spirit.

Answer 10

Jesus, a mortal born of Mary, was endowed with the Christ. There was no other way for God to communicate with a lie, the mortal beliefs of life, when in truth, God is the only life and is Life, and Jesus, the Christ, revealed the true God to us. Christ, Truth is God. Jesus was an obedient servant of God.

Answer 11

Peace!
Jesus is both God and man. God is spirit and cannot die. What died was his humanity. He rose from the dead and is now sitted at the right hand of God the Father.
We know that Jesus is truly God from his words, his works and his life.
Jesus spoke clearly of his divinity when he said: "I and the Father are one." (John 10,30) "Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father in me." (John 14,11) "Before Abraham was, I am." and his reply to the High Priest. (Luke 22,70)
