To a Samaritan woman, Jesus described the type of worship that individuals must give to God. Their worship must be based on spirit and truth. Indeed, “the Father is looking for suchlike ones to worship him.” (John 4:23, 24) Yes, reverent adoration should be expressed only to God. To render worship to anyone or anything else would be a form of idolatry, which is condemned in both the Hebrew and the Greek Scriptures.-Exodus 20:4, 5; Galatians 5:19, 20.

The Bible says he is a god. Among other mighty ones called “gods” in the Bible is Jesus Christ, who is “the only-begotten god.” But he himself plainly said: “It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.” Luke 4:8. Jesus said "No man has seen God at any time; the only-begotten god who is in the bosom with the Father is the one that has explained him." John 1:18.

dan theman instead of trying to argue about the divinity of Jesus some people need to try to read the scriptures carefully. The Bible does not support the trinity doctrine. Jehovah is the only almighty God. Jesus is the son of God. The Bible sometimes refers to someone with power as a God. Even Satan is described as the God of this world 2 Corinthians 4:4. Jesus only prayed to the father and he told his disciples to pray to the father only. Worship the father in spirit and truth. He even admitted the father is greater than he is. This suggest that Jesus is not only inferior and not equal to the father but that he does not form part of a trinity. The man in this video is an apostate who is either intentionally or intentionally deceiving listeners. Gods name actually appears more than 7,000 times in original manuscripts which says God wants people to know him by his name. Jesus said in prayer, I have made your name known. If a religion does not teach or talk about God’s name, they can’t be true. Gods name is YAHWEH. In English it’s Jehovah. I don’t listen to anything people like him say but just putting Down way is true. He is but an apostate. True Christians (JW) are no part of this world. That’s also how I know they are true.

dan theman Jesus is speaking to a powerful spirit creature who is called the Devil in Luke 4:8 and at this particular point, Jesus recognizes that he has been born as a human in the flesh. (it’s obvious that no spirit creature would ever bow down and worship a human person.) John 3:31 John the Baptizer mentions that the one who comes from above is above all. ( we know that all angels comes from above and the devil himself is a spiritual creature that onces was from above and who had rebelled against God ) But now John the Baptizer make a distinction to those who are from above and refers to Jesus as to the One who is from Heaven is above all. Jesus replies to The Devil that it is only to the ONE how has created all things deserves to be worshipped. As mentioned in John 1:1 When the clouds lifted up Jesus to heaven , he’s transformed back into spirit life as the God who created the heavens and the Earth and it is the one that the devil must worship. You mentioned that Jesus said that “no man has seen God,” so who did the Prophets seen? ( Moses in Exodus 33:20 Isaiah in Isaiah 6:1 Ezekiel in Ezekiel 8:4 Daniel in Daniel 7:9 and the Apostle John in Revaluation 4:1-11)

NS R Jehovah is not his name. You’re being deceived by the Jw God name is universal and it cannot be translated, so it must be migrated from Hebrew. No one has the authority to change the Tetragrammaton YHWH as found in Scripture 7000 times. English is trying to transliterate the Holy Name but is unable to because the meaning is not intact as the original. Read it in your new world translation of the holy scriptures in the explanatory article in the back section “The name of God” The Bible tract society admits that no one knows how to pronounce the name of The Creature.

Gird up your loins, please, like an able-bodied man, and let me question you, and you inform me.” Job 38:1-3 Through questions, Jehovah then drew attention to his limitless wisdom and power as demonstrated by his wonderful works. This enlightenment helped Job to trust in Jehovah’s judgment and way of doing things as never before. What an awe-inspiring experience for Job-to be questioned by Almighty God himself!

Tell [me], if you do know understanding.” In this context, Jehovah God used questions to adjust the thinking of his servant Job. By means of numerous questions, Jehovah taught Job about his insignificance in comparison with his Maker. Did Jehovah expect an audible answer to each of those questions? It seems unlikely.

Titus 2:13: RS reads: “Awaiting our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.” (Similar wording is found in NE, TEV, JB.) However, NW reads: “while we wait for the happy hope and glorious manifestation of the great God and of the Savior of us, Christ Jesus.” (NAB has a similar rendering.) Which translation agrees with Titus 1:4, which refers to “God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior”? Although the Scriptures also refer to God as being a Savior, this text clearly differentiates between him and Christ Jesus, the one through whom God provides salvation. Some argue that Titus 2:13 indicates that Christ is both God and Savior. Interestingly, RS, NE, TEV, JB render Titus 2:13 in a way that might be construed as allowing for that view, but they do not follow the same rule in their translation of 2 Thessalonians 1:12. Henry Alford, in The Greek Testament, states: “I would submit that [a rendering that clearly differentiates God and Christ, at Titus 2:13] satisfies all the grammatical requirements of the sentence: that it is both structurally and contextually more probable, and more agreeable to the Apostle’s way of writing.”-(Boston, 1877), Vol. III, p. 421. Titus 1:4 (ESV) To Titus, my true child in a common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.

Bella Garcia , Who called Jehovah the only true God? It wasn’t the Jehovah’s Witnesses, like he claims , it was Jesus himself at (John 17:3) And yet the Bible refers to Jesus and a mighty God at the same time, so the truth is, is that Jesus must view himself as A lesser god( John 14:28)(1Corinthians 8:5,6) This man is trying to play word games ,and semantics with all of us, .We all know that words can be used in many different ways! For instance the word “”president”” can be used to described the most powerful man in the world! Or it can be used to describe a president of a company! So just because we acknowledge that there is a president who is the most powerful in the world , does not make all other presidents, in all their different capacities, not valid ,or true presidents! just as the word of God in the Bible can be used in different capacities, for instance the Jews were referred to as gods at Psalms 82:6 , That did not make them all mighty God, and that goes without saying, Just as we know that the president of Apple is not the President of the United States! this man is trying to pigeonhole you into thinking there’s only one interpretation for the word of God , which is a falsehood! There can be many uses of the word God (1st Corinthians 8:5,6)

The Bible says to search but it has gotten to the point the org. wants to do the thinking for us. We are suppose to only read their literature. We are not suppose to go to outside sources. So then how are we to know if it really is "the truth" as they say it is? Many of us questioned and thus were found to be of those that were not to be associated with so we were considered apostates, disfellowshipped and shunned. All for questioning. Jesus would never have shunned. If you had gone to WT studies, or have magazines, in reading the study article, read that scripture in the paragraph and then go to your Bible, the scripture quoted is not the full verse,(thats what those ... ... mean) and many times can be used to mean somethingelse if you hadn't read the before or after verses for full context. This has been done on many occasions. One Bible scripture that has been removed that you are probably familiar with is (John chapter 7 vs 53) JOHN ch 8 vs 1 thru 11 Their revised 80's Bible had footnote, but their 2013 revised has completely removed it. This is regarding the adulterous woman being brought to Jesus by the scribes and pharisees regarding the Law of Moses and stoning to see what he would say, in which v 7 he said, "he that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone at her". Just because they felt this wasn't in the original manuscripts doesn't mean it should be removed. All of us know this IS one of the things Jesus would have said.

Man was created in Gods image in that he resembled his Creator, able to reflect a godlike attitude in reasoning, in demonstrating love, justice, wisdom, and power. Jesus was created first, in Gods image. So when God said let us create man in our image, he was bestowing the same qualities to man as he did Jesus. In short, we have free will. Observing the makeup of his earthly son, Adam, Jehovah made this assessment of his handiwork: “Look! it is very good.”

He is the only way through which we are able to approach Jehovah God. Jesus said to him: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6 Accordingly, true Christians do well to direct their worship only to Jehovah God, the Almighty.

Questions such as “Where did you happen to be when I founded the earth?” were evidently meant to stir Job’s thinking and emotions. After some of that intensive questioning, Job was left nearly speechless. He simply said: “What shall I reply to you? My hand I have put over my mouth.” (Job 38:4; 40:4) Job got the point and humbled himself. However, Jehovah was not merely teaching Job to be humble. Job’s thinking was also corrected.

You must be young, because if you had been a JW. For 40 plus years, you would be well aware of the many changing of scriptures. For example, you quoted " was a God, but in their previous Bible they had it written as " was God" let's stop debating what a scripture is interpreted and just get right to the big picture. God, did not choose a organization, answer me this one question, why would God, send his son to give his life for all sinful mankind just so he could take two steps back and give everything to a group of imperfect men? God,is not Partial. God, also warns us: "If anyone adds to his word or take away from the scrolls/Bible they will pay with their life that's a serious sin with God. What about the unreported child abuse cases by your leaders? I recently listened to a new song where you are actually praising and worshipping the faithful slave. You do remember Jehovah, is a jealous God. Your gb. When asked if they believe they were God's, only channel/ mouth piece, why did they answer with a resounding "no" that would be presumptuous of us to think that" look at the court case called the Royal Commission, what about the scripture which God, tells us to always be ready to give a defense for the faith. So quit trying to impress with those no non- sense scriptures and take out some time to research. You do know from the scripture, God, tells us to examine all things, test them to see if they are from me. "If anyone makes a predictions and it does not come true, it is not from me. They my dear, is known as a false prophet. Another, "Do not put your trust in Earthly Man whom cannot give you salvation" you seem to be well versed in Bible, yet you never mentioned any.

Is it true that Jws worship 2 God's? When the Bible says there is only one God. In (John 14:7) If you know me, you also know my Father, from now on you do know him, and have seen him. (v.9).....whoever has seen me has seen the Father (v.10)...Don't you believe I am in the Father and the Father is in me? Thought I might put in those important verses you may have accidentally on purpose left out. As you skipped to (verse 28)"...The Father is greater than I" To keep it short the verses I used from John 14:7-10 are true. If you see Jesus you see the Father. Jesus and the Father are one. And the verse stated by you in (John 14:28) is also true....that the Father is greater than I" Why did Jesus say earlier on say "I am in the Father and and the Father is in me?"...then switch to....The Father is greater than I? This happens a few times in Scriptures where Jesus in speech and actions equates himself with the Father, and then humbly submits to the Father, why? The answer lies in Philippians 2:5-8 "Adopt the same attitude as Christ who existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God as something to be exploited, instead he emptied himself, taking on the form of a servant, taking on the likeness of humanity, and when born as a man, he humbled himself. .... Jesus willing stepped down from the position of being God with the Father, he emptied himself, became a servant, became a man, and humbled himself and became obedient even to the point of death on the Cross. Jesus is speaking from his humanity not his divinity. At times in Scriptures in his words he speaks from his divinity . Jesus could heal a lame man tell him to get up and walk and also tell the healed man his Sins are forgiven. The Scribes and Pharisees were experts in law and they knew only "God" could forgive sins. I could show you many more scriptures that shows Jesus Christ full true deity. At this time I thank my Lord and Savior, for allowing me to share with you. Take care.

An idol is an IMAGE, a REPRESENTATION of anything, or a SYMBOL that is an object of passionate devotion, whether material or imagined. Not All Images Are Idols. God’s law not to form images (Ex 20:4, 5) did not rule out the making of all representations and statues. This is indicated by Jehovah’s later command to make two golden cherubs on the cover of the Ark and to embroider representations of cherubs on the inner tent.

Worship of god is not confined to going to a place of worship. In involves ones whole way of life, in everything we do. I would talk to you at any time, problem is i am in Australia. By the way the question you as is such an easy one to answer, but from my experience the answer is far beyond the trinitarian world view of what the the word god means in the original language. My experience is that those who believe in the trinity have a narrow world view or understanding of what the word god meas and that stops them form understanding what God meant when we speak of only One True God. To the ancient readers and writers the words we translate as God/god did not mean God/god. The ancient words had the meaning of *"mighty one",* and in Scripture is used to refer to mountains, cities, men, angels and of course to the various objects (things and individuals) that received religious type worship. of all the those, there is only one individual that has the right to truly receive "religious type worship". When the Bible speaks of only one true God it is always in relation to the god that is to receive "religious type worship". The JWs that have answered you about Moses are on the right track. Unfortunately the quotes you uses are incorrect. In the Hebrew it does not say that Moses will be like a god to to Pharaoh . In both Exodus 6:16 and Exodus 7:1 the Hebrew reads וְאַתָּ֖ה (and you) תִּֽהְיֶה־ (shall become) לּ֥וֹ (to him) לֵֽאלֹהִֽים (as God) The American Standard Bible read "and thou shalt be to him as God". The one True God who alone is to be worshipped assigned Moses as a god (a mighty one) over Pharaoh. So in this instance Moses was a true god, or a true mighty one, but Moses was not The True Mighty One (The True God) Jesus is a true god in that he is a mighty one, but Jesus never ever received "religious type worship" that belongs to the One True God. Jesus rightly received proskuneo - an act of showing honour and respect as a person in a superior position. (It is such a shame that just about every Bible mistranslated that word on occasion (including the NWT) When God said that there was "no other God besides me" the context of Isaiah is talking about gods that receive religious worship. Satan is a false god because he is worshipped. As far as Moses is concerned The Hebrew does not say "like god" A *literal direct translation* of Exodus 7:1 is "and-he-is-saying yehovah to moses see-you I-give-you god to-pharaoph" So Bibles that add the word "like" are adding into the text what is not there and changing the meaning.

Because Jesus was called the Son of GOD and since GOD the Almighty made all things. GOD the Father of Christ was given divine power of his FATHER to accomplish his will. Lets go to Exodus , Where Moses was in the wilderness and GOD Almighty told him that he is the GOD of his forefathers. HE then said I am making you a GOD to Pharaoh and Aaron your brother will be a your prophet. Read Exodus Chapter 6 and Exodus 1:1,2.. LIFE

Secondly, again Isaiah 9:6 Jesus Christ is prophetically called ʼEl Gib•bohr′. “For there has been a child born to us, there has been a son given to us; and the princely rule will come to be upon his shoulder. And his name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God ʼEl Gib•bohr′, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.” The same Hebrew word is used at Isaiah 10:21 and 9:6 and is clearly describing Jesus Christ.

Consider the parable Jesus gave of the slave who was unable to repay a substantial sum of money to his master. A form of this Greek word appears in this parable, and in translating it the King James Version says that “the servant therefore fell down, and worshipped [form of pro•sky•ne′o] him saying, Lord, ..(Matthew 18:26) Was this man committing an idolatrous act? Not at all! He was merely expressing the kind of reverence and respect due the king, his master and superior.

At the 7:30 mark or thereabouts, Clay Jones quotes Isa. 44:6 which reads: "This is what Jehovah says, The King of Israel and his Repurchaser, Jehovah of armies: ‘I am the first and I am the last. There is no God but me. " Clay then gives us a red herring and says there are no "Capital letters" in Hebrew and the verse does not say "no.. Almighty God." So according to Clay's reasoning, there is no other GOD (capital or not) other than Jehovah! Therefore, if Jesus is called God, he must be the true God, Jehovah! Sounds air tight....... until someone who actually KNOWS Hebrew brings out the FACT that the Hebrew word translated God in Isa. 44:6 is ELOHIM! The verse literally says, "THERE IS NO ELOHIM BUT ME." So is Mr. Jones indicating that everytime the word ELOHIM is used in the Hebrew Scriptures it refers to Jehovah? For instance, at Ps. 8:5 it says "You made him a little lower than (ELOHIM) godlike ones, And you crowned him with glory and splendor. " Who are the ELOHIM or godlike ones at Ps. 8:5? Is it Jehovah like Jones teaches? Notice how the Apostle Paul identifies who the Elohim of Ps. 8:5 are at Heb. 2:7,9 where he quotes Ps. 8:5 which says "You made him a little lower than angels (the ELOHIM); you crowned him with glory and honor, and appointed him over the works of your hands. " and "But we do see Jesus, who was made a little lower than angels, (the ELOHIM) now crowned with glory and honor for having suffered death, so that by God’s undeserved kindness he might taste death for everyone. " So here Paul tells us that the ELOHIM of Ps. 8:5 are none other than the ANGELS! The LXX translators ALSO understood the ELOHIM of Ps. 8:5 to be angels as they translated that verse with the Greek word AGGLOS (angels). Clay Jones is a dangerous false teacher. Do not listen to him.

I believe I have already established, using scripture, that Jehovah is the Almighty God and that Jesus is the firstborn of all creation and is a mighty god. Jesus is the image of the invisible God, but is not equal to Jehovah. Jesus credited Jehovah as being responsible for all creation. There is no God like him, or besides him, because there is no god equal to Him, He is the Almighty God.

And yet He also claimed to be G-d in John 8:58, which was recognized and they wanted to stone Him for it in vs. 59. So you can't accept one claim of Jesus, but reject others. Jesus did not "claim" not to be good. That is a major fallacy people make, taking a QUESTION and making it a statement. Jesus never said He was not good. By all means, a man who NEVER sinned (which is not possible for sinful humans) is indeed good. Jesus was the God-man.

At Psalm 82:1, 6, ʼelo·him′ is used of men, human judges in Israel. Jesus quoted from this Psalm at John 10:34, 35. They were gods in their capacity as representatives of and spokesmen for Jehovah. Similarly Moses was told that he was to serve as “God” to Aaron and to Pharaoh.Ex 4:16 "And he must speak for you to the people; and it must occur that he will serve as a mouth to you, and you will serve as God to him." Jehovah said that Moses (human) must serve as a god to Aaron.

There is no objection to referring to Jesus as “God." Such would be in harmony with Jesus’ own quotation from the Psalms in which powerful men, judges, were addressed as “gods.” (John 10:34, 35Ps. 82:1-6) Of course, Christ occupies a position far higher than such men. Because of the uniqueness of his position in relation to Jehovah, at John 1:18 Jesus is referred to as “the only-begotten god.”

None existed before Jehovah; therefore he has seniority over all. (Isa 44:6) He, being the Creator, existed before any other gods, and ‘none will exist after him,’ because the nations will never produce a real, live god that is able to prophesy. (Isa 43:10; 46:9, 10) As the Alpha and the Omega (Re 22:13), he is the one and only Almighty God; he will bring to a successful conclusion the issue over Godship, being forever vindicated as the only Almighty God.
