The New Testament writers were promoting Jesus as the new god others were promoting him as part of a trinity. This is why there is contradictions about who he is. In most pantheons back then the creator god or father god wasn't necessarily the all powerful god that was to be worshipped.

John 1:3
by Hi y-all injohn 1:3 states in the nwt, "all things came into existence through him, and apart from him (the word, or jesus) not even one thing came into existence.".
the wt states apart from him one thing came into existence, that is, jesus the first created being.. is there an explanation for this apparent contradiction?.
thanks!.

They never once asked me if I believed in Jehovah or Jesus but was asked several times if I believe the GB were the faithful slave?

Oh The Irony
by FedUpJW inso i sat and suffered through the clam tonight.. everything was pretty much as dull, repetitious, and simple-minded as i have come to expect, but i was really struck by the mind-numbing idiotic comments made during the part about shunning family.. then came the book study (no real bible use) loaded with self-congratulatory b.s about how wt never has, and never will beg, solicit, or ask for money.
i could feel myself beginning to channel the old tasmanian devil cartoon character as i listened to that garbage while remembering the jdubya tv shows about how more money was going out than coming in and give more.
but finally came the most ironic (to me) part of the entire meeting and i could not help bursting out in a loud belly laugh that got me many dirty looks and heavy frowns.

Ice-core samples prove no water canopy for if there was there would not have been any ice. One can win an argument with a true believer because there is so much evidence it's undeniable.

Jesus Christ who is Jesus really, well friends he was just and angel that got they opportunity to become the son of god and a king by allowing god to kill him as a sacrifice to himself. Remembers brothers and sisters gods loves himself some sweet smell of a meat sacrifice (Ephesians 5) . After Jesus was killed he then was resurrected went back to heaven and waited for his reward. Some 1900 hundred years later he was made king and will be king for a thousand years. As king he will have the opportunity to come down to his domain and show his love to earthlings by kill almost all of his followers. Then he will hand the Kingdom over to his father but not before killing a whole lot more of his followers near then end of his reign. After he Hands the Kingdom back to his daddy he will become just a lowly angel again and take a much needed vacation somewhere on Alpha Centauri.

Just have him show the scripture that says all who believe in the lord are saved then show the one where it says do not judge. You friend needs to protect himself from his kid. Change all his passwords locks on his doors etc.. They may want to Jc him just to see what's going on in his life and if he's ready to confess to some sins because everyone that leaves the Borg goes off and commits sins, didn't you know.
He should be prepare to deny everything and say that's here say where's you second witness?

What actually happened AFTER Jesus zoomed up into the clouds and disappeared?
by TerryWalstrom inwhat happened after jesus zoomed up into the sky?for a while, he was expected to return rather quickly.in the meantime, there was the “great commission” and evangelism to be tended to.. the jesus believers were meeting in people's homes.
members of that community would take turns using private homes to gather.
thus, they went house to house.. these footstep tracers of jesus (they called themselves akolouthontes "followers" or some called themselves mathetai or "learners.

The earliest complete bibles don't mention Jesus ascending anywhere in the gospels. The story of Jesus obvious evolved over time as did the rest of the New Testament
