What does the Bible say about Jesus Christ?

by UnDisfellowshipped in

who is jesus christ?

what does the bible say?

1: jesus christ is god almighty, the supreme being [omnipotent] (john 1:1-3; john 20:28-29; hebrews 1:6, 1:8, 1:10; psalm 45:6; psalm 102:25; titus 2:13; romans 9:5; colossians 2:9).

The witnesses are taught that it is "all about what the Bible says", when the WTS really means "it is all about what we say". There is a VAST difference here. What the WTS says is definitely not synonymous with what the Bible says.

starScream,

I wholeheartedly agree with you when you say that God is more than one person. I just wasn't sure how to interpret what you were meaning in your first post on this thread.

When you say that God created all things by Himself, are you saying that the Father created all things by Himself?

If so, then why did God say, "Let US make man in OUR own image"?

"We are also found false witnesses of God"

by Noumenon in

1 corinthians 15: 15 says "morever, we are also found false witnesses of god, because we have borne witness against god that he raised up the christ, but whom he did not raise up if the dead are really not to be raised up.".

jw's are guilty of being false witnesses to god in a similar manner as paul states above, because of their insistence that jesus was enthroned as king in heaven in 1914. they need to ditch this unconvincing teaching propped up by it's dodgy chronology.

it's high time to realise that there was no invisible 'parousia' that started in that year, and that christ's parousia is still a future event, to commence when he sits on his white horse and goes into battle at armageddon..

You must also remember 2 Tim. 3:16. "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God . . . ." Inspiration of God literally means "God-breathed". God used human writers to write a divine book, the Bible. God inspired these humans to write this book.

What significance does this have?

You may think that this is heretical at first, but think about it for a while. If all of the Bible is written by inspiration of God, then Jesus words do not have any more wisdom / power / significance than the Apostle Paul's words.

I am fighting back

by thetruthaboutjws in

so i should probably introduce myself.

i live in a small community i was reaised for 17 years as a witness.

Nice graphics TTAJW.

I do have one concern though. I am not a JW, and thank God I never have been.

My concern is: Will JWs open the pamphlet and read it if you bash them on the cover?

I sincerely hope that I am wrong. I hope that you are able to help a lot of JWs see "the light".

I agree with just about all the statements that you made there. I have been studying the Bible for 4 years in the Bible & Theology department of the college that I attend. These statements go right along with what we have been studying.

How sad!

We would all be better off if the JWs would really start reading and STUDYING the REAL BIBLE for themselves. The NWT just doesn't do justice to the Word of God.

Francois,

Your view is so full of holes that it doesn't much effort at all to see clear through it.

One of the basic rules of Bible interpretation are that the Bible must be interpreted as literal if the literal interpretation makes logical sense. Much of Revelation CAN be taken as literal.

You say that the gospels do not agree in there presentation of the facts. I challenge you to bring forth any passage where any of the gospels contradicts another on the BASIC facts. You will find that the only place that the facts are different is on SECONDARY facts. It's kinda like when four people see an accident occur. Most likely, they will have the basic facts right, but will differ on the secondary facts.

"Bloody phenomena, business without ethics, religion without morals". All these are a perversion of Christianity. None of these are sanctioned by Christ. In fact, you will find principles for just the opposite in the Bible.

You talk about Christians who don't seem to have ever read Matt. 7:1, yet you yourself seem to have totally forgotten about the verse that is the balance of Matt. 7:1. This verse is Matt. 7:20. It says, "Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them."

It is quite obvious by your comments that you do not adhere to bibliolatry. How sad!
