Did Jesus Use Gods Personal Name?

by Comatose in

the wt says yes.

i looked it up a few weeks ago and they said "we can be sure he used his fathers name".

for me the argument is more just interesting from a biblical and academic stand point.

Like a dead clock, right twice a day, JWs (like most religions) can have some things correct.

But we know at their core they have an agenda that’s toxic; it is a facade, a religious kabuki real-estate empire with few smattering of truth.

Dangerous!

So what do we do about this? We simply collect and believe all the nuggets of truth, avoid the false religious agenda traps, and serve God faithfully. It does take diligence.

This is how all the faithful "saints" in the past did it. Such faithful are gathered in God spiritual temple and rewarded.

Jesus doesn't see it that way. He's content with being the " SON of God." It's always been that way.

Our job is to pay attention to details, like YOU pay attention to legal brief facts of a case.

Facts of this case:

Remember?

Strong's 32 aggelos ang'-el-os from aggello; a messenger; especially an "angel"; by implication, a pastor:--angel, messenger.

NIV Gal 4:14 "and even though my illness was a trial to you, you did not treat me with contempt or scorn. Instead, you welcomed me as if I were an angel of God, as if I were Christ Jesus himself."

ESV "and though my condition was a trial to you, you did not scorn or despise me, but received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus."

AV Lk 1:38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel aggelos departed from her.

What about your vow to Jehovah?

by a watcher in

did you get baptized without being dedicated?.

why did you allow men to come between you and jehovah?.

why were you serving jehovah at all?

somethings not right.

Of course it's a spoof. Why would a "vow to Jehovah" person want to go round and round with x-Jdubs? Doesn't add up!

watcher,

Come back anytime. Eventually you will connect the dots, everyone here did in their own time frame.

We enjoy exchanging thoughts.

THE SIGNIFICANCE AND PURPOSE OF BAPTISM

Enjoyed your article.

The contrast between spirit "born anew" sons of God vs. "born of flesh" sons of Adam is becoming quite clear as "knowledge is multiplied." Dan 12:4, 10

We live in very interesting times!

You are buying into fourth century theology which is contaminated. This explains it.

Chiropractor saved my friend

Top notch US medical provider, Kaiser, uses chiropractic, acupuncture, and massage treatments . They work fabulously, I feel great!

proven to work through double blind trials

And, "double blind trials" studying the human brain prove "proper methods of prayer" are therapeutic, causing longer life span (corrected).

cofty, I was thinking of you when I read it.

@tenyearsafter

If we were to use HIS name, wouldn't he have said, "Jehovah

Great point.

Our name conveys two things about us, identity and location of our reputation. Reputation is the most important. The NT is about Jesus making God's REPUTATION name pristine clean . He will fix all that's broken since the beginning "foundation of the world" of Adam.

Huge!
