Proof texts that Jesus was, and is, God. Any ideas?

by jonathan dough in

can anyone add to this list of links?.

20) proof texts that jesus was, and is, god.. 21) phillip said to jesus: show us the father - (john 14:8-10).

37) and the word was god - (john 1:1).

21) I thought no one has ever seen God? (John 1:18)

22) That would mean he was never dead, in which the Bible would be contradicting itself.

23) That's completely false. Jesus is never identified as Almighty God.

24) Just as Jesus and his disciples are one.

25) Not sure what your saying here.

26) I have no idea of what your talking about.

27) Than what does "begotten" mean?

28) A very odd assumption.

29) So how can God be greater than him. (John 14:28)

30) You're stretching that verse pretty far.

31) Than what does Revelation 3:14 mean?

32) Perhaps you can explain the difference.

33) Re-read Col 1:15 and Rev 3:14

34) We all agree that Jesus is a God

35) I really don't feel like explaining the Nominative and Vocative voices in Greek (maybe someone else can) but Thomas wasn't calling Jesus Lord or God.

36) There is no such thing as the "I AM"

37) The word was God, the Word became flesh and was seen by many, but yet no one ever saw God. Perhaps you could explain.

38) Complete nonsense, as the Holy Spirit is not a person. God or Jesus never spoke to the holy spirit and Stephen only saw the Father and Son when he was being stoned.

46) This isn't relevant.

DO JWS REALLY WAIT TIL MARRIAGE???

by sweet in

do jws really wait til marriage to have sex?.

Bluecanary your comment is dumb because rather than decide who to make marry based on something important like if the person is honest, supportive, have a lot in common with you, wise, intelligent, insightful, helpful, cheering you up win your sad or mad, faithful, etc. You overlook all that and choose sex as the deciding factor as to if he makes a good husband or not. You sound like you're using the logic of a 15 year old instead of an adult.

DO JWS REALLY WAIT TIL MARRIAGE???

do jws really wait til marriage to have sex?.

Blue Grass

Bluecanary says "I waited and it was a huge mistake. If we had just had sex I doubt we would have gotten married."

This is easily is the supidest comment I ever read. As to the question from the original poster I would say the percentage of Witnesses who wait until marraige is much higher than non-Witnesses.

Documentary About The Flood and Noah's Ark

by Blue Grass in

about a week or two ago i watched a documentary about the flood in noah's day entitled "in search of noah's ark".

two things i found very interesting in this program is a theory that one person had about how they believed the flood was caused due to a meteor hitting the ocean creating a tsunami that flooded the entire earth.

scientist were unanimous in their view that this is a very plausible scenario and that there is no way to rule this possibility out.

I just want to warn everyone that the video link that Leolaia posted is NOT the documentary I am referring to. The documentary I saw came on the National Geographic Channel. That documentary viewed the possibilities of a global flood from purely a scientific level and the producers were obviously not believers in the Bible's account of the flood. Needless to say that quote Leolaia made is not in the video I watched. I 'm not sure if this Roger Rusk guy is the one I saw in the video but he didn't say anything remotely close to a shift of the earth's axis so I doubt it's him. I tried to find a link to the program I saw but couldn't find one, I'll look again to avoid any farther confusion as I now notice that several programs share the same title as the documentary that aired on the National geographic Channel.

NOTE: My apologies, the program is actually entitled "Search For Noah's Ark" NOT "In Search Of Noah's Ark"

Scientist were unanimous in their view that this is a very plausible scenario and that there is no way to rule this possibility out. If that is how the flood happened, that would answer the question of where did the water come from and where did it go. Another thing I found interesting is that despite the fact that the producers of the program didn't believe in the Bible's account of a global flood, even they had to acknowledge that there was at least a localized flood that wiped out a lot of people in the Middle Eastern area due to the overwhelming evidences, and also due to the fact that a story of a global flood by ancient civilizations has been pasted down for generations in every part of the world. Some people view the fact that other ancients recorded a global flood before the Bible as proof the account is a fable, but as the program pointed out, the fact that it's been recorded by so many different civilizations is evident that a major flood took place in earth's history. For example if two people say they saw a blue car crash a tree, your natural reaction wouldn't be to think one is copying other, but that a car (most likely blue) hit something (most likely a tree). It wouldn't be logical to think so many people thousands of years ago who didn't know each other decided to simultaneously make up the same fairy tale.

A Question Ex-Jws and Atheist On This Site

by Blue Grass in

i have a question for the regulars on this site which are mainly ex-jws and atheist.

my first question is just for the atheist.

why do you guys spend so much time discussing and researching a book you believe to be fiction?

Blue Grass

I can feel the pain in your post KW13. It sounds like you have a lot of deep seeded issues with the Watchtower. I never said I was witness but since you seem to have a lot to get of your chest I'll just go with the flow. You still can't deny after all those years you're still hurt and you don't know what to do about it. I'm actually starting to feel sorry for you. I think you should take my suggestion and devote your time into something that brings joy, rather than being on the forum where people bring nothing but bad energy by bringing up painful experinces.

I guess you guys can't read well either. You all seem to be upset because I struck a nerve. The truth hurts doesn't it? You guys are too mentally and emotionally weak to handle the truth so you response with name calling, profaninty, insults, and whatever else 8 year olds do. You guys can't deny the fact that you'll can't move on with your lives because you'll are too weak and bitter and in the end all that negativity you have inside will destroy you.

A Question for Blue Grass

by marmot in

since i noticed you seem to take particular offense at atheism or anything that contradicts a literal interpretation of the bible, could you explain to me your view of noah's flood?.

.

because that's the fable that made me stop believing in the god of the bible..

Blue Grass

To God_Delusion you really need to learn how to read. I never said the flood happened 6,000 years ago(megs said that) and as far as where I got all humans coming from one man from, if you had taken the time to read all the post correctly before you commented you would of seen the link I posted to the National Geographic Channel video which gives plenty of evidence to that fact.

Tower Of Babel

by Blue Grass in

note:this was a post i made on another thread but i felt it was off topic so i giving it it's own thread.. someone(who i can't remember) on a thread(which i can't remember) said the tower of babel story is proven false because some languages evolved from others and thus that was another strike against the bible as being fiction.

however this person doesn't realize that there are languages on this earth that has absolutely no relation whatsoever such as chinese-english, spanish-arabic, greek-xhosa, etc.

not to mention all of the ancient languages that are now extinct due to invading countries forcing their own language on other countries.

Blue Grass

PSacramento if you took the time to use an ounce of common sense before you typed your post you would of notice that countries that neighbor each have similarities because they neighbor each other. Not because they stem from the same language. But I don't understand why you're still trying to disagree with me. You admitted I was right in your first sentence.
