Thanks and welcome Barbra,
perhaps you would like to comment on Terrys thread about give me " JUST ONE fact" ?
Love

Amen! I think this sums it up
5 Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
7 but made himself nothing,
taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
and became obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
Shame JWs eyes glaze over until verse 11 :(
Blessings,
Stephen
People have been coming up with versions of Jesus for a long time, some versions have been historically and socially very benign and other versions , ie the Protestant and Catholic version, have been cruel and destructive in the extreme.
This good Jew got lost to legend and myth a long time ago, pitty.
'Do a little good each day'.
Actually Stephen (seeing this thread has no particular topic any more I don't worry about hijacking it) from your quoted passage JWs eyes will be transfixed on verse 6 - they use it as anti-trinitarian proof.
Reading the verse in an other language and other translation makes me realize it can be interpreted from a trinitarian view this way too: Jesus was God, but he didn't want to grasp to that function under all circumstances, but gave up all to become human. Amirite?
I like that - Just Give Me One Fact! idea.
When it comes to religion, it is all about 'faith over fact', which is to say; "I have no proof, just a nice warm fuzzy idea, so I will spend my life trusting nice warm fuzzy ideas instead of facts that countermand my nice warm fuzzy ideas."
No thanx.

Barbara explain this. yes Jehovah became Jesus in the flesh! Col. 2:8,9 : (NWT)
If Jehovah was Jesus he died and gave himself to himself as a sacrifice so he could forgive man for eating a fruit, and if you don't believe this he will cook you in a fire where you can never get done.
Does he add a little Bar-B-Que sauce so you will smell good while cooking?

Welcome, Barbra!
Thankfully, most of us here have figured it out. We're mostly ex-JWs.
