Ok so this Jehovah Witness teacher came up to me. He said that other branches of Christianity only accept Jesus, but they don't accept God. So they are trying to say that you have to accept both God and Jesus.... I'm confused. Just tell me Christians only, if you have to accept both Jesus and God. Quote me a scripture........ Thanks

Luke 10:16 [this is Jesus speaking] He who hears you hears Me, he who rejects you rejects Me, and he who rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me.
A person who rejects Jesus rejects God; conversely, a person who accepts Jesus accepts God. The JWs are a cult and will try to argue that this has nothing to do with worshipping Jesus (they think He was just an angel).

Yes, you must accept both and realize that though they are alike in most ways they are separate. Jesus, when on earth, not only recognized god as his father but faithfully served him to set an example for us to follow.
John 3:16 " for god so loved the world so much that he gave his only begotten son...."
Matthew 3:16 and 17 "... this is my son whom i have approved."
Hebrews 10:12 and 13 "but this man offered sacrifice for sins perpetually and sat down at the the right had of god. (13) from then on awaiting his enemies..."
then there is always the lords prayer where Jesus prays to the father that HIS name (meaning Jehovah god) be sanctified...
It sounds as if you are off to a good start to finding out the truth of the bible and about god and the lord Jesus. my advice to you is accept the study to learn more, you will not regret it.

nicely an analogous way that we've a personal call and would pick to be talked about as by technique of our call really of guy, woman, Boy & so forth is an same way that God feels. Psalms 80 3:18 says "would human beings keep in mind that you, whose call is Jehovah,You on my own are the most extreme over each and every of the earth." the actual undeniable actuality that his call is said contained in the Bible shows God needs his call to be customary & because we are his witnesses or followers, we are talked about as Jehovah's Witnesses.

Scripture say God is a spirit and must be worshipped as a Spirit. Since no one has ever seen God it would appear Trinatrians are worshiping the wrong being.
Jhn 4:24 (Jesus said to the woman of Samaria) God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth.
Jhn 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time

I dont know of any Christians that accept Jesus, but reject God. That sounds a little rediculous to me.
In the old testament, God told moses he would come to earth in the flesh and the Jews would reject him, and be punished by losing the country of isreal.
Ok, all this happened when Jesus arrived, which would lead on to the conclusion that Jesus was God in the flesh. They are two entities, but the same.
The JWs always carry a Bible in thier hands, but for some reason they don't follow it. Most of thier core beliefs are based on unrelated or semi-related passages.
For example, thier belief that blood transfusions are wrong is based on a passage where Moses warns his people to cook the blood out of the meat before they eat it, because it could be unsafe. Surprisingly most resturaunts have this same warning at the bottom of thier menus, and I dont think they are talking about blood transfusions.

Jehovah's witnesses believe that Jesus and God are two completely separate beings. They believe the Holy Trinity is false. They do not celebrate Christmas for this reason (and a couple others).
Ask them what the first chapter of the Gospel according to John means, and you will hear their downfall (for the Word was with God, and the Word was God...and the Word became Flesh...).

John 14:6 Jesus said, " I am the way, the truth, and the life: No man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

Please read these Bible texts.
Jesus said in John 14:1 – “Exercise faith in God, exercise faith ALSO in me”
John 17:3 - 3 This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ
Rev 7:10 – . 10 And they keep on crying with a loud voice, saying: “Salvation [we owe] to our God, who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb.”

Jehovahs Witnesses are ex drunks wife beaters, liars, conmen, two faced buttholes who are out to make a dime and lie to you about it. Don't get confused by them. They make things up and pick and choose what they want to believe in.
Hard to believe you would ask such a question and not know that Jesus is God.
