I believe the Lord told you not to reveal the truths of the gospel to your JW friends because they have already heard the truth and yet have chosen to ignore it and follow a false prophet. He has turned them over to a reprobate mind, as the scriptures tell us. By continuing to talk about the gospel with them, you are in essence throwing the beautiful and wondrous gospel before swine.
2 Tim. 3:7,8: Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
Matthew 7:6: "Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you."

That's strange, the bible clearly discribes the birth of a human baby from a human mother with a human daddy! The only wasy our sins could have been atoned for is by the blood of "mortal kin"!!! Had the Messiah been a 'god', then he would have been unqualified to die for the sins of all mankind! satan would have jumped all over that unfair advantage & had a legal president in court to disqualify the blood sacrifice! I'd quite listening to qhatever 'god' that is talking to you & start paying more attention to what the scriptures are actually teaching ou!!! get a clue: satan is the god of this world!!! YAHWEH IS THE FATHER & CREATOR OF ALL THAT IS!!! god isn't worth listening to unless you ant to be deceived!!!!!

God is not the author of confusion but of love and of sound mind and of truth.
Jehovah's Witnesses have spent a considerable amount of time confusing Christians and must be shown the errors of their way.
¶ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Jhn 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Jhn 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Jhn 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
Jhn 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

James, with all due respect, feel free to point out to any Jehovah's Witness scriptures you feel support belief that Jesus was God come to earth in human form. What you will get is contextual analysis showing that they do not.
Many speak of faith, but we also have to use our power of reason. Ask yourself how Jesus could have been God in human form and die, when the scriptures plainly say that God is from time indefinite to time indefinite. And if he died, who resurrected him and who was in charge of the universe in the mean time? Moses was also told that "no man can see God and live", yet thousands saw Jesus.

well ,,,
i read your post
" . . . ...the bible verses that He has made aware me aware of that support my belief that Jesus was God come to earth in human form...
...so as not to confuse their current faith in Him? "
. . . but it does not make sense.
i get that you believe in the ancient triadic god of the babylonians, but wouldnt it be better to look into the bible to see why others do not?
just a thought .........

2 Corinthians 12: 12 Therefore, as we have such a hope, we are using great freeness of speech, 13 and not doing as when Moses would put a veil upon his face, that the sons of Israel might not gaze intently at the end of that which was to be done away with. 14 But their mental powers were dulled. For to this present day the same veil remains unlifted at the reading of the old covenant, because it is done away with by means of Christ. In fact, down till today whenever Moses is read, a veil lies upon their hearts. 16 But when there is a turning to Jehovah, the veil is taken away. 17 Now Jehovah is the Spirit; and where the spirit of Jehovah is, there is freedom. 18 And all of us, while we with unveiled faces reflect like mirrors the glory of Jehovah, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, exactly as done by Jehovah [the] Spirit.
2 Coronthians 4:4 That is why, since we have this ministry according to the mercy that was shown us, we do not give up; 2 but we have renounced the underhanded things of which to be ashamed, not walking with cunning, neither adulterating the word of God, but by making the truth manifest recommending ourselves to every human conscience in the sight of God. 3 If, now, the good news we declare is in fact veiled, it is veiled among those who are perishing, 4 among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through. 5 For we are preaching, not ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as YOUR slaves for Jesus' sake. 6 For God is he who said: "Let the light shine out of darkness," and he has shone on our hearts to illuminate [them] with the glorious knowledge of God by the face of Christ.
Satan will blind you to think so you will never see the truth.
What God the God of this system of things that has blinded the eyes of unblievers, so that the gloriuos illumination about the Son of God might not shine through.2 Corinthians 12 Now what I am doing I will still do, that I may cut off the pretext from those who are wanting a pretext for being found equal to us in the office of which they boast. 13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder, for Satan himself keeps transforming himself into an angel of light. 15 It is therefore nothing great if his ministers also keep transforming themselves into ministers of righteousness. But their end shall be according to their works.

I guess it could make sense. Maybe they've gone as far as they can at the moment in their belief, and to confuse them would be a step back. Keep an eye out for the right time to tell them.

In what form did you recieve those instructions ? Superstitious imaginations and dreams are wonderful , so long as we know they're dreams . Those who believe that ideas gotten from dreams or imagination are any more than just that , are not playing with a full deck .

I would not, because if you have even a basic knowledge of the truth, the bible does not praise those who suppress the truth
JW believe that Jesus was something other than who the bible declares him to be with power from death by resurrection.
they don't believe in the resurrection, they believe God has a memory of what you are and you are re-created.
I bore of this,
point is, if you have any knowledge of the truth, then you are required to speak it if it means salvation to people, to with hold that is sin and you know it.
