Who is "The" Creator ? Jehovah or Jesus ?

by smiddy3 in

is jehovah the creator ?.

apparently jehovah created the "word" or "logos" ( jesus).

and he never created anything else according to bible scripture.. however the first born of creation the logos /jesus was used to create everything else in the material world.. so then isn`t jesus also a creator ?.

And he never created anything else according to Bible scripture.

However the first born of creation the Logos /Jesus was used to create everything else in the material world.

So then isn`t Jesus also a Creator ?

Two creators ? have you ever thought about that ?

What problems does that create ?

I don`t have the answers however I would like your input to this question.

Faith and the Bible.Is it all Just An Illusion ? With no basis in the real world ?

by smiddy3 in

jw
friends

the bible states that :.

"faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for"...." the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld" heb.11:1. looking at the "true" history of the wtb&ts and not the sanitized version jehovah`s witnesses like to portray nowadays ,nothing the jw`s put faith in ,in over 103 years of their prophecy`s , expectations ,whether it related to the world powers , the king of the north or the king of the south ,the united nations (which they joined for 10 years ) as the disgusting thing that causes desolation,their now acceptance of things they accused christendom of doing such as using atm`s for donating funds,(they never solicit for money){ excuse me while i puke} .all of the failed prophecy`s of the the end/armageddon/great tribulation and the end of false religion babylon the great and the list goes on and on and on.. 1914 , 1919, 1925 ,1975 ,the year 2000 ,and of course since 1914 any day soon , just around the corner ,its imminent ,in our day ,it cant be any more than 5 years away .. 6000 years of human history ended in the late 18th century .

oops sorry ,6000 years of human history didn`t end till 1975 and that is a date that would be appropiate for jesus christ to start his 1000 year reign.. excuse me , faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for ?.

With Jehovah`s Witnesses it is obviously Blind Faith that they are hoping in.

The Creation of Jesus

by berrygerry in

seeing a trinity thread.. can a jw apologist explain what (not who) is jesus?.

prior to the creation of everything 13.7 billion years ago (draw close book), jehovah created jesus as his firstborn, his only-begotten.. there was nothing else - no stars, no dust, no matter - just jehovah - and then, just jehovah and jesus.

so, what was jesus?.

smiddy3

If Jesus was the first born of creation and then everything else came about through him and by him then isn`t Jesus the Creator of the heavens and Earth and everything on it ?

And not Jehovah ?

Do we have two creators ? Jehovah who created Jesus or the Logos as he was known then ,

And then the logos /Jesus who created everything else?

The material Universe ,earth and everything on it.?

yes, there will be only 3 wt each year, and 3 awakes.... and that they will do this for two years, then reprint those issues.... so yes, the "abundance of spiritual food" is limited to 12 more magazines..... surely, this is proof of the end coming so soon!?!

The Interesting "Locust Letter" ... Written Back In April 12th,1991!

It would be more credible if the original letter of the time or a verification of it at that time could be produced to verify its authenticity.

Its all very well to quote a 2014 copy of the letter ,how about the original ?

just saying.

From all reports here ,the average JW could not debate his belief to a five year old child let alone an adult who knows a little bit more about the bible.

The dumbing down over the years of the "truth" is sure going to have repercussions in the future.

All JW`s want to do now is dictate to you what they believe and if you question them on topics of theirs you are aware of they dont want to discuss them with you and beg to leave.

Their is no substance in what they claim to believe where they can have a meaningful discussion with you when you know something about their religion.

What was the biggest thing that convinced you that

I think the "Revelation" book was the start of my questioning JW interpretations of scripture .

Their was no way I could agree that the seven trumpets in the book of Revelation in any way related to the seven Conventions that started in Cedar point Ohio in 1922 .

And from then on even though it took many more years for me to finally cut the ties ,little things just kept adding up .and adding up and adding up.

However once I was introduced to the internet the floodgates opened as to what was wrong with the JW religion.

Now I know , and you know , far more about the WTB&TS /Jehovahs Witness than any Elder or any rank&file member or even the GB ,than they know about their own religion.

simply because they want to remain ignorant of the facts about their religion.

And the reason is you are not lying to yourself or deceiving yourself ,believing what you want to believe as they do .

The Change

by Counter-Watchtower in

the change has begun.

my jw friends that came to my house months ago finally have figured out i am in no way going to become a jw (how it took them that long i have no idea).

now the change to them wanting to have nothing to do with me has begun.

Many years ago my son got on well with a MS .My son has a huge collection of DVD`s etc and is a big sci-fi fan as was the MS.

He thought of him as a soul mate and good friend ,however when the congregation split and they were then in different congregations the MS dumped him like a hot potato with words to the effect "your not my problem now".

It was a huge wake up call for my son .

{ I must thank that MS if ever I see him again }
