Alan F. writes: "Well, who was manifested in the flesh? Obviously Jesus Christ was. John 1:14 "And the Word became flesh..."
Yet, the Word obviously also pre-existed since vs. 1 says the Word was with God. John 6:62: "Does this shock you? What if you were to
see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?"; John 7:38:
"I tell you what I have seen in the Father's presence..." ; John 4:13:
"No one has gone up to heaven except the one who has come down from
heaven, the Son of Man" and vs. 31 "The one who comes down from heaven
is above all." So then the Word obviously existed before He became
flesh. No where do we read that the pre-existent Word was created or
had a beginning. If God is an eternal Father than Jesus is an eternal Son. Otherwise, there would be a time when God was not
a father. And he would have become a father either at the time
that the Word was created or when Jesus was born on earth.
Now where are we told that the Word was created?

God is Jesus
by evangelist ini am looking for more scriptures that can prove to a jehovah witness that god is jesus, and jesus is god.i found only one verse so far in 1jo:5:20: and we know that the son of god is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his son jesus christ.
this is the true god, and eternal life.. if you know more scriptures that say directly that god is jesus please tell me the verses the jhw will see plainly that jesus is no way an angel, and he is jehovah god almighty.. my friend said if i can prove by the bible only that jesus is god he will leave the jhw society, and he will know that they are teaching lies and they would be to him a dogma religious sect.
my friend gave me a booklet called should you believe in the trinity?, and is jesus christ the almighty god.

Alan F.,
Since I don't answer your question according to your liking,
why don't you pose it to yourself and give us your answer.
Then maybe I can see where you are coming from. And I might be
in a better position to answer it. -

Gravedancer,
Contradiction at its best. One line proclaims "God is dead"
and another "God lives in a nuclear sub." -

If your god and religion are dead, try mine. They are
very much alive. -

Alan F,
I don't think anyone would deny that I am human (I exhibit
the attributes of man--I think, I reflect, etc.), but as to
whether I am truthful or a liar, you will have to ask those
who know me. Of course, I like to think of myself as truthful.
I suppose the same is true of you. -

Alan F.,
I suppose I have problems with your phraseology. How can
Satan be a true god and a false god simultaneously? You say he is a true god because he exists and false when he is worshipped. I would merely say he is truly a god to some, but certainly is not true by the mere fact that he exists. As a matter of fact, he is most aptly described as a liar and the father of the lie. John 8:44. -

Proof of the "historical" Jesus...
by simwitness inbeen wondering about this lately.... what proof (outside the bible, of course) do we have for the "historical jesus"?.
in my earlier days (post jw to "born again christian") i remember reading that the one thing that differentiates christianity vs. "all the others" was that we had secular historical proof that there was a man that was called jesus, who died on a cross and was resurrected.
now i am wondering just what that proof is/was?
