  the jehovah's witnesses believe that jesus christ and michael the archangel are the same person, and blatently ignore numerous verses and passages within scripture which explain that both jesus and michael are two separate persons.this video study (linked below) goes into the intricacies of hebrews chapters 1+2 explaining how the lord jesus and michael are different persons, and looks at the qualities, authority and power at which the lord jesus holds and how it is separate from angels including michael the archangel..

  Typical JW response to being confronted with facts are responding with gibberish. Just saying that because it’s true.

  In the bible, Jesus stated that he was God on more than one occasion.

  Perhaps you've read that Jesus said that HE is the way, HE is the truth, HE is the life. Men must come to HIM to go to the Father. Or if you've seen me, you've seen the father.

  Jesus didn't say look to my teachings for example [although he was a teacher]

  Jesus said 'Come to ME'

  All of the apostles accepted and taught that Jesus was God in the flesh. Known fact

  Arch Angel Michael- Servant of the most high, but a creature like man...although, different from man.

  I agree. Michael and Jesus are different persons.

  Jesus-word of God

  Michael- created by the word of God

  If the WTS earnestly states that 'the great apostasy' of Christianity happened in the early 4th century, then how can they trust the bible to be the true word of God when the bible wasn't confirmed until the late 4th century?

  Confirmed by Catholic Bishops no less!

  Has there ever been a bold and specific WTS prophesy that has come to pass?

  If yes, what?

  If no, Why not?

  Why go back to the Old Testament?

  by Lost in the fog in

  2. bible

  why do jws insist on still quoting from the old testament to back up some of their wacky ideas?

  such as on blood, beards, abortion, tattoos, etc.

  surely if the mosaic law code was nailed to the torture stake all of its parts were cancelled.

  Actually, things like hospitals, etc., came from Islam. They were miles ahead, as well as with astronomy, architecture, and mathematics, while the superstitious Christians were dunking women in the pond to see if they would drown, while the church was selling Indulgences, while Luther and Calvin were urging and praising the authorities for burning and torturing their religious opponents.

  Thomas Wood wrote "How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization" in which he details all of the things which are attributed , from real history, to the Catholic Church.

  Where are you getting your info that says Islam brought these things to the world?

  
  Part of our healing here is to embrace real truth and not be follies to more lies or erroneous teachings.

  Doug Mason- Although I wasn't there to hear Jesus's words, I do trust what I have read. I trust because I have faith.

  I have faith because [aside from the gift of faith from God,] it is reasonable to follow the crumbs from the early church fathers. They certainly wrote stuff down and more than one was a direct disciple from more than one apostle.

  That's the church that gave the world the bible and told the world that it was the word of God.

  This same church gave the world great fruits thru it's works. Things like a universities, hospitals, shelters for the sick, mentally ill, cripples, homeless and helpless. Far too many things to list here. No other faith, government, organization or dynasty can claim these truths. You may not like or even agree, but that fact remains true.

  Jesus never said to write anything down because that wasn't the media 2 thousand years ago. Most people couldn't read even 200years ago, jeshe...Only a limited few could read and/or write.

  Knowledge or teachings were spread orally. Jesus commissioned the apostles to go to all nations teaching all that he TOLD them, not what he told them to write.

  You may think that it should have been writen because the WTS is a big publishing house, so I can see why you'd think Jesus should have written stuff down. But you're in error to think that's what should have happened.

  At least that's my opinion. And my opinion says that

  The reason that they go to the OT so much is because they have so little in common with very obvious problems with following the commands of Jesus.

  Really? Jesus never said that he was God

  He said ir so many times in so many ways that the WTS just distorts.

  Quick example - Jesus said to come to him, he didn't say 'come to my teachings' or 'Go to the Father',

  He said 'All men MUST come to me to go to the Father'

  He also said "I am the way, the truth and the life"

  JWs deny the most obvious truth of WHO Jesus is. They haven't a &%$#ing clue

  God hates liars

  quotes are from the 2005 wt cd red text is mine

  the wts claims to be the sole source of god's truth on earth today.

  truth is so important to them that they even use the term "truth" as a name for their teachings.

  Independent reading of Bible results in better understanding

  by Ireneus in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in guided reading, you tend to get the understanding of the guide.

  what if guide is blind?

  religious leaders who understand ‘one innocent man should be killed to atone the sins of others are in bondage to darkness, hence there is nothing good to be expected from them.

  The bible was never intended to be a something to base a religion on.

  The bible [a collection of books] was put together and confirmed by catholic bishops hundreds of years after Jesus rose from the dead. [around 380 ad]

  The idea of a religion based on the bible and calling it Christianity just doesn't work when you add up those facts.

  Who ever said the bible is the word of God? The catholic church, that's who. It's a catholic book and JWs typically hate the catholics just as they have been taught by the WTS
