As a former JW, they would rather only speak to ppl who don't know the bible so they can use their narrative. When they find someone who knows the bible or has a strong disbelief in what they're saying they will attempt to end the conversation. Good job keeping them engaged.
That makes perfect sense - why engage in a discussion with someone who has no interest or desire toward the truth? People tend to overlook the first and most obvious part of the preaching work - 'seeking those who are ripe for the harvest'
That's why you didnt succeed in being a witness or baptized cuz you are clueless! Jehovah hates liars and false religion! Just cuz you say you were one of jehovahs witnesses doesn't mean you were and I say you never were cuz of your laziness and eagerness to learn the truth! Jehovah knows every person's heart! He knows why you have a hate for his people. I believe you want to blame them for your problems! Mad stop spreading false info.
@@rodneydangerfield5316 Hey bro. I saw your question along with the passages of scripture with it and I wanted to point out Galatians 3:24-24. The law is a mirror (tutor) to show us that we are not good (see Romans 3:10-12) and are in desperate need of the Savior Who perfectly fulfilled the law and offer(ed) us a better covenant the "finished work (see John 19:30)" His payment of His blood poured out for you and I undeserved, but for the sake of taking our place Jesus pleased the Father whenever He (Jesus) descended from Heaven still as God to humbly and willingly take on a body of flesh which had been established even before the foundation of the world (see Ephesians 1 & Hebrews 1-2).
My stepfather is JW and is forcing his religion upon my younger siblings, I’m a born again believer, I pray to receive the wisdom that I need to have a conversation like this. I know it’ll be intense but it needs to be done in order for my siblings to be allowed to come to a church service with my husband and I, I pray it’ll lead to their salvation.
Here's a quick list of issues surrounding Preston's proposed beliefs; 2:36 - _"I believe Jesus is the true and the living GOD"_ - *The Bible says:* Jesus declared His own GOD and Father; "the only" true GOD 3:38 - _"I believe Jesus is a person of GOD, that GOD is three persons"_ - *The Bible reveals:* There is no such GOD as one God in three identified anywhere in Bible history 4:08 - _"the Bible teaches - that there are three that bare record in heaven, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit"_ - *The Bible reveals:* this to be a known corruption of the Catholic Church, and has been rejected by most Bible translations today 16:28 - _"but about the Son he says, your throne O' God ..."_ - *The Bible reveals:* these are the words of the human Psalmist, whereas the son anointed to the throne is identified as having a GOD above Him(v9) 19:22 - _"why does Thomas call Jesus GOD"_ - *The Bible reveals:* Thomas identified Jesus as His Lord who was sent by GOD to save us - 1 Cor 8.6 30:50 - _"it means something completely different"_ - *The Bible reveals:* The title of the GOD in the opening statement is different than title given to the word that was GOD; Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος καὶ ὁ λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν θεόν καὶ θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος En archē ēn ho Logos kai ho Logos ēn pros ton Theon kai Theos ēn ho Logos In beginning was the Word and the Word was with the God and the Word was GOD ton Theon = the GOD Theos = GOD, or a GOD John 1.1 makes use of two different titles of GOD rather than attributing the same title to the word who was GOD *PS.* all of these criticism were drawn from the WEB Bible translation, which would have nothing whatsoever to do with the JW translation(NWT) As for salvation, it is not the religion that saves us, but our faith and belief in Jesus Christ who was sent by GOD to save us. And so, if a person puts faith in the ransom sacrifice of Jesus Christ, then you do not need to pray for them, as they are already saved.
I don’t see anything that says JWs are going to hell they live by the book except for a few different understandings what I have Learned from them is Jesus is savior and God is God sooo many things in the Bible that can be misinterpreted but the serious things are concrete.
DO NOT ALLOW THIS! Im an Ex JW, the cult was birth from Satan, the founder was a nut job Free Mason. It will seek to control every aspect of your and your siblings' life, the damage that it does will take decades to undue. The scripture they teach are wrong, and it will keep you away from glorifying Jesus as Lord. Do not listen to anyone telling you it is a harmeless religion, listen to Ex JWs, the damage is real.
I grew up between Jehovas witness, Catholics family all mixed. On top of that my dad is atheist. I’m so happy that God came threw, I’m now a Christian building that relationship with Christ and hopefully open one day open my dads eyes to God. #godisgood 🤍✝️

1 Cor. 15:26-28 proves that Jesus is not God. In the end, it says that Jesus will give all power back to God so that God can rule over him forever and ever.
I grew up a Witness, and I can tell you, we were counting our time to be reported to the Watchtower society. I dreaded moments like this, when someone who really knew the Bible, would get into it with us. One time an elder from our congregation argued John 1:1 with a householder, even asserting that Greek scholars agreed with JW translation of "a god." The man replied, "No, that's not true, because I AM a Greek scholar."😂
So, you do not know the Bible? And that elder was correct.

You don't need to be a Scholar to understand the intended use of the word in John 1 All you have to do is read the Bible in the order it was written, and all will be revealed.
Bobsyouruncle Wilson so do you believe in the scientific impossibility that nothing created everything? I’m sorry my friend but there’s no evidence for the Big Bang theory. Our evidence is in the Bible. There’s been plenty of evidence pop up just go look it up. I’ll try to convince you that God is real if you don’t mind. So say there’s a building or a painting, but it’s around 100 years old. Yk someone created those things even tho it’s been 100 years. Same thing with the earth. I understand that you have a belief but coming on here and shouting at people and telling them that their wrong with no evidence is crazy. And so what if he’s not real in the end? Ik that I’ve lived my life full of purpose to make my father in Heaven proud. If he’s not real it’s not like I’m gonna lose anything. But with the things God has done for me and my family is all evidence to show that he is real! I’m sorry my friend that you haven’t met God yet but I’ll pray that he’ll touch your heart and change you. Have a blessed day man🤍
@Bobsyouruncle Wilson have you heard of jericho in the bible. Well they know where it is and they have found the city.. The archeology backs up the bible. Have you heard of King hezekiah.? They found his construction and plans of a water system in Jerusalem. Again archeology backs up what the bible says. There are numerous historians who also back up the bible. Including flavus Josephus.
Preston has certainly studied to show himself approved (2 Timothy 2:15). My prayer is that the Lord will lead us to ALSO study to show ourselves approved.
That is exactly what I was thinking as I watched this video. I'm so inspired by how well Preston knows the scripture and I've been stirred to go deeper in the study of the word.
This was a bit cringe-worthy to watch, simply because I felt soooo uncomfortable for Anton. I think this highlights the importance of Apologetics, because how can you claim to believe something and label it as truth to the point where you are literally preaching it on street corners, but you're not able to back it up? Vaguely saying "many other translations do that" and then when you're pressed about it you can only mention one is really disturbing to me. And what's worse is that the Byington Translation IS published by JW. Every time dude says "I'll show you" he changes the subject. I don't think we should look at this as Christians and think "Man, Preston sure told him". This could have been anyone who is a Christian but does not know study the Word and does not know history. We should be digging into scripture and doing our own research to be ready for whoever comes to challenge our beliefs, be it JWs, Black Hebrew Israelites, Muslims, or Mormons.
I agree. There were so many points I thought the guy should just say, “I don’t know.” Dude was not ready and needed more research. I also kept thinking, this isn’t a “religion” argument but human nature by way of pride argument. He was defending his religion and what he believed instead of discovering truth. I felt he had a wall up protecting his pride but Preston tore down his opinions and false religion delicately. Lol!
Tracey Lane exactly!! I feel like if he was really searching for truth he would’ve been open and honest enough to say “I don’t have an answer for you right this minute but let me do some research and we can continue the conversation another time”. You’re so right that was a pure ego/pride reaction.
mizzhaiti Yes Byington is published by the Watchtower, but the Revised Standard, New Jerusalem Bible, The Revised English Bible, The New English Bible, The Common English Bible, An American Translation just to name a few are not published by the Watchtower and they have the same rendering or an alternative rendering of Hebrews 1:8 as the NWT. BOLD TV is not well versed to speak on some of the things he said because he said the NWT is the only bible in the world to have it the way we have it. That’s just naive for him to say.
Pittsburgh side of my family always calls it a Polish goodbye. They are all Polish so I am guessing not offensive? Lol! But, yeah. It is pretty much 20 minutes from the decision to end a conversation to actually moving on. Usually with two or three new conversations thrown in while the goodbye is taking place :-)
Preston!!! My heart is warmed by this. I need this courage. I realized recently I do not know how to share the WOG to those of other beliefs, especially if they were born and raised in it. So thank you for your boldness. I’m praying God helps me grow in that area because I want to.
@@777Tralfaz777 The Trinity is not manmade. It is from God. Arianism, or the belief that Jesus is Michael, is purely manmade and comes from "relying upon your own understanding." No one believed Jesus was Michael for over 1800 years.

@@954MrSayre 1. In Zechariah 12, JEHOVAH speaks (verses 1 and 4). In verse 10 JEHOVAH says: "They shall behold Me whom they pierced". This cannot but refer to Christ (compare John 19:37 and Revelation 1: 7). 2. The JEHOVAH of the Old Testament declares Himself to be the First and the Last: says YHWH, the King of Israel, his Redeemer, YHWH of the army: I am the First and I am the Last, and besides me there is no God ”(Isaiah 44: 6 and see Isaiah 41: 4; 48: 11-12). Who is declared to be "the First and the Last" on the pages of the New Testament (see Revelation 1: 8, 11, 17, 18; 22:13)? 3. In Isaiah 6: 5 the prophet says: "For my eyes have seen the King, YHWH of the armies". Isaiah saw JEHOVAH! The apostle John refers to this same event and makes it very clear that the Person who saw Isaiah was in fact Jesus Christ: “This is what Isaiah said when he saw His [Christ] glory and spoke of Him [referring to in the context Christ] ”- John 12:41. 4. In Psalm 23: 1, David stated that JEHOVAH is the Shepherd of the sheep. But according to the New Testament, who is the Shepherd of the sheep (John 10:11, 14; Hebrews 13:20)? And the Old Testament repeatedly refers to JEHOVAH as Israel's ROCK (Deuteronomy 32: 3, 4, 18; Psalm 18: 2-3; Psalm 62: 2-3; etc.). But the New Testament identifies this ROCK as Christ (1 Corinthians 10: 4)! 5. In Exodus 3: 14-15 we learn that JEHOVAH is the great "I AM." But who is according to it Gospel of John the Great "I AM" (see John 6:35; 8:12; 8:24; 8:58; 10: 9; 10:11; 11:25; 14: 6; 18: 5-6)? 6. In Isaiah 43: 10-11 and 45:21, JEHOVAH declares Himself as the ONLY SAVIOR. Outside To him there is no Savior (= Savior or Savior) say the texts! But who is according to it New Testament the ONLY SAVIOR (Acts 4: 10-12)? 7. In Isaiah 45: 21-22, JEHOVAH says: "Turn to Me, be saved, ... for I am God and no one else". But John 3: 14-16 tells us to look at the Crucified One to be saved! 8. In Isaiah 45: 21-23, JEHOVAH says: "that before Me every knee shall bow, every tongue before Me will swear ”. But in Philippians 2: 9-11, this passage from Isaiah is applied to Christ, The one for whom "every knee shall bow from those that are in heaven, and those on earth, and those that are under earth"! 9. Isaiah 24:23 and Zephaniah 3: 15-17 teach that JEHOVAH Himself will rule in Jerusalem during the coming in Peace and that He will be in the midst of His people. What does the New Testament say us about the identity of this future King of the millennium (Revelation 19: 11-16; 20: 4, 6)? 10. In Isaiah 40: 3 we learn that John the Baptist had to prepare the way for the coming of JEHOVAH. In Mark 1: 1-3, the same passage is applied to Christ (John the Baptist prepared the way for Christ). 11. In Isaiah 8: 13-14 it says that JEHOVAH “is a stumbling stone and a rock over which one is stumbles ”. In 1 Peter 2: 7-8 these verses in Isaiah are applied to Jesus Christ. 12. Compare Joel 2:32 ("It shall come to pass that whosoever shall call upon the Name of YHWH shall be saved") with Acts 2:21, 36 and Romans 10: 9, 13. By which Name is retained in the New Testament 1. EVERYTHING YOU SAY ABOUT GOD IN THE O.T. IS ALSO SAID ABOUT JESUS CHRIST IN THE N.T. Old Testament titles for God applied to Jesus Christ. The first text refers to Jehovah / Yahweh God, the second to Jesus Christ: OFFENCE Isaiah 8: 13-15 1 Peter 2: 6-8 CREATOR Isaiah 44:24 Colossians 1:16 ONLY SAVIOR Isaiah 43:11 2 Timothy 1:10 KING OF KING'S Psalm 95: 3 1 Timothy 6: 14-15 ALPHA AND OMEGA Isaiah 44: 6 Revelation 1: 7-18 GOOD SHEPPERD Isaiah 40: 10-11 John 10:11 EVERY KNEE SHALL BEND Isaiah 45:23 Philippians 2: 10-11 JUDGE Isaiah 24: 20-21 Colossians 1:17 HE WILL RULE Isaiah 24:23 Matthew 25:31 2. THE O.T. PROPHETS PROVIDED THAT THE MESSIAH WOULD BE GOD : Compare Isaiah 7:14 and Matthew 1:23; Isaiah 9: 6; Jeremiah 23: 5-6. 3. CHRIST WAS TO BE GOD BY HIS BIRTH: Matthew 1:23 Luke 1:17, 32, 76; 2:11. 4. JESUS ALLEGED TO BE A GOD AND HE ACCEPTED WORSHIP : Matthew 2:11; 8: 2; 9:18; 14:33; 15:25; 20:20; 28: 9.17; Mark 5: 6; Luke 24:52; John 9:38; 10: 30-33; 5:18, 23; 8: 56-59; 9:38; 20:28. 5. The NT WRITERS SAID THAT JESUS CHRIST IS GOD: John 1: 1; Acts 20:28; 10:36; Philippians 2: 6 Colossians 1:15; 2: 9 1 Timothy 3:16; 6: 14-16; Hebrews 1: 3; Titus 2:13; 1 John 3:16. 6. EVERY MAN AND ANGEL WILL WORSHIP JESUS CHRIST: Philippians 2: 9-11; Hebrews 1: 8-9. If Jesus were not God, He could not receive worship (Exodus 20: 3-5). 7. The blind man called Him God (John 9:35-38). Thomas called Him God (John 20:28). Peter called Him God (Acts 10:34-36). Paul called Him God (Acts 20:28; phillipians 2:5-6; 1 Timothy 3:16; Titus 2:13). The Father called Jesus God (Hebrew 1:8-10). Hebrew 1:8-9 is quoted from Psalm 45, and in Psalm 45 it is self-evident that God the Father, Jehovah / Yahweh God, is lord of the Son. The Father calls the Son God, and the Son calls the Father God. This is the mystery of the Trinity. Although we cannot fully understand the Trinity, we believe it is the doctrine of Scripture Jesus is Lord and Savior
God is not a 3 headed monster. Clue is calling him Father . Too much psychobabble by this so called "christian" , Jehovahs witnesses arent flawless by any means but they are right here.
Funny thing is that John 1 : 1 was translated like that because there wasn't a suitable way to properly translate it. In fact, the "... the Word was a God" translation is deemed more accurate than ".. the Word was God", but the consensus is that the best/closest translation is " ... and the Word was divine." That's why its useless to have these religious conversation because, unless you speak those original languages, none of us really know what was really said or meant.
In all of my dealings with JWs, they have been incredibly kind and respectful. Very gracious and loving with all of my questions! Unfortunately, they tend to “run out of time” right when the questions and conversation starts getting good… wonder why that could be 🙃
That is why comment sections such as these can be so valuable. That said, please post your questions and concerns that they might be addressed from GOD's written truth.
Matthew 7:15 "Be on the watch for the false prophets who come to you in sheep’s covering, but inside they are ravenous wolves." Bible truth vs JWs "truth"? "Jehovah's Witnesses, in their eagerness for Jesus' second coming, *have suggested dates that turned out to be incorrect."* Awake 1993 Mar 22 page4 *Jehovah’s Witnesses have had wrong expectations about when the end would come.* Jan 1, 2013 Watchtower "Does this admission of making mistakes stamp them [Jehovah's Witnesses] as false prophets? Not at all, for false prophets do not admit to making mistakes." Watchtower, Nov. 1, 1972, page 644 - in brackets added (any scriptures for this "admitting to mistakes" means no they aren't false teachings, false prophecies?) Admitting to making false prophecies doesn't magically change them, they are still Bible defined false prophecies (Deut 18:20-22) Very poor reasoning, probably why JWs "suggested dates" and went beyond scripture. "suggested dates, wrong expectations" in God's name? yes, these ARE false prophecies from the Jehovah Witness Organization. God's channel of communications, his voice on earth, God's mouthpiece, JWs? Nope, just a false religion!
That's because if they can't convince you of their belief, they see no point in trying to talk to you. Also they're made to believe that if witness listen to others' explanations, they are putting themselves in danger bc they might start to doubt. And most of them avoid listening to anything that will make them question their beliefs 😢
@@SalvarezP : Not a rational comment if I may say so. Many JWs were ONCE part of the churches. What can any church member tell a JW that he or she wouldn't already be familiar with? Remember the TRUTH set them free from those beliefs.
So this is a genuine question: Doesn’t it say in the Bible that Jesus is the one and only way to salvation. If He’s the one and only way, wouldn’t that indicate He is equal to/is God? How do they argue that?
Many people are not aware of this, but the Bible teaches the following; Jesus is the way - to the Father Jesus is the truth - of the Father Jesus is the life - of the Father
Sara Shaddle John 10 ; 30I and my Father are one. This is why the Jew seek to kill Jesus many times because of his claims. They were placing the blame of blasphemy upon him. John 10; 33The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
Sara Michael, who became Jesus on earth, was the first angel created by Jehovah (Proverb 8:22) No one in the world is equal to Jehovah God. Visit jw.org Humanity's only salvation. Wise up!
@@williemorgan6285 The prefix "arch" meaning "chief" or "principal," implies that there is only one archangel, the chief angel; in the Scriptures, "archangel" is never found in the plural. First Thessalonians 4:16, in speaking of the preeminence of the archangel and the authority of his office, does so in reference to the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ: "The Lord himself will descent from heaven with a commanding call, with an archangel's voice and with God's trumpet, and those who are dead in union with Christ will rise first." It is, therefore, not without significance that the only name directly associated with the word "archangel" is Michael.---Jude 9.
We have our own bible, yes. But it's not different from any other bible for the most part. Mostly the New World Translation restores Jehovah's name to its proper position. Everywhere in the King James Version where LORD ( capital ) has been changed.
Example: Psalm 110: The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. King James Version Notice how the different spelling ? LORD and Lord ? Now compare it to our bible, the New World Translation: Jehovah declared to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand Until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet.” So the original was changed from Jehovah to LORD.
Here is another change - 1 John 5:7 "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." Our bible, and all other bibles, except King James, " there are three witness bearers:8 the spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement." Obviously inserted to promote the trinity lie.
First time watching this and listening to Perry, and i just wanted to say, the respect shown here by two brothers having this kind of debate said spoke volumes of how to conduct ourselves. We don't have to get all angry and rude when we talk about God. (We're all, if not most, searching for the truth) Preston I believe you lived out Jesus in the way you handled yourself... Thank you very much for the example. I don't comfortably enter these kinds of debates because i have not studied properly. God willing, i will try better this year. Not to debate but to know and love God better, live the life and encourage. Thank you again and stay blessed 🙏🏼🤗👍🏼 (Ps. Thanku for reminding me about Hebrews 1 (verses 5&8 specifically) that can't be unsaid 🙌🏽🙌🏾🙌🏼😊)
Lian Pi True, but why didn't you support it with Scriptures? (Rev. 1:5; 3:14) We have to be baptized in the same congregation [religion] as Christ Jesus to receive the free gift of eternal life. To stat with Jesus Christ is to stay with those whom he pleased to use. Outside the true Christian congregation, what alternative organization is there? Only Satan's organization consisting of his "wild beast" and his Babylonian world empire of false religion.---Rev. 13:1, 14, 15; 17:3-6.
@[ Timothy ] The Bible clearly shows that God does not disregard people who lived without knowledge of his requirements. Acts 17:30 assures us: "God has overlooked the times of such ignorance." What hope, then, does the Bible hold out for those who died without having an opportunity to learn about God? Was Jesus promising that the man would enter into heaven? No. The man had not been "born again" from water and spirit, which was the prerequisite for entering the Kingdom of the heavens. Being a Jew, the man was likely familiar with the earthly paradise---the garden of Eden---described in the first book of the Bible. (Gen 2:8) Jesus' promise gave him the assured hope of a resurrection to paradise when it is reestablished on earth. Get out of false religion (Rev. 18:4) Visit jw.org. Humanity's only salvation.

actually I disagree! I'm currently in college and every semester some people come to campus with the threatening signs about hellfire- I have had in depth conversations with them over why what they do is not helpful to the kingdom and have disputed theology with them.
@@ilovepiedoyou2 they should focus more on what the kingdom of God will bring rather than threatening people, what witnesses do they mainly preach about God's kingdom.
They actually do! But it’s of course not the majority of convos. There are college ministries that are training students up in evangelism and apologetics & engaging their campus. My husband and I are on staff with one of these ministries. :) Universities are one of the best places to engage in spiritual conversations.

All part of this tv show. You have to realize the true agenda of these tv shows. For instance... he makes a statement that..."the others are trainees"... But there is no Definitive indication of this. Its misleading.
@@simonrgalesg Im saying.. at first i was following good. Then the little snippet that Preston talks about the others that are leaving and Why they are leaving.. ("the trainees") was unnecessary. Bcuz that MAY not be a fact... but a presumption, and an audience may take it as fact. For example, I watch this and then approach Jehvh Witnss about their structure of high ranking & "lower tier witnesses"... and they dismiss it & prove to me that this is inaccurate information. Now that hurts Preston's credibility with me(IF, ..he's tryn to save lost souls). Just give us the meat 100%. No fillers.
@@luismozotorres7428 Actually begotton comea from the greek word monogenes which means pertaining to only one of its kind within a specific relationship.Isaac is called Abraham's only begotten son,however he had Abraham also had Ishmael.Its more to do with a speciap kind of relationship,than about being created.
@marmackk Actually, the Greek word monogenes comes from the two root words 1) mono, meaning one or only, as in monopoly, monocular, mononucleosis, etc. and 2) genes, which I bet you can figure out, means to father or to bring forth; think of genetics. Therefore, monogenes literally means only-begotten, or the only one directly fathered by or created by. Proverbs 8:22-30 tells us that God (Jehovah) created Jesus as the beginning of His way, before anything else. Verse 30 shows that Jesus then worked alongside God as a master worker, helping create everything else. 1 Corinthians 8:6 explains “there is actually to us one God, from whom all things are and we for Him; and there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are and we through him.” Life comes from Jehovah God, and through Jesus, he created everything else. Since Jesus was the only being directly created by God, he is the firstborn and only-begotten.
That was intense Preston. I like a how every time he tried to cut you off, you respectfully spoke up and made sure you got your point across. It was a great learning experience for me. thanks brother!
@Rich Ruelas You mean how Preston would interrupt and cut Anton off? He wouldn’t let Anton make a point or reason on the scriptures without interrupting. I guess that’s how Preston feels it went well, cause he got to say what he wanted and thinks he ‘won’ the discussion or argument (for lack of a better word), but if you don’t allow the other side to actually prevent their case, you didn’t actually debate and have any legit discussion.
@@nluz7729 Jesus told his followers to “make disciples of people of all the nations.” (Matthew 28:19, 20) When he sent out his early disciples, Jesus directed them to go to the homes of the people. (Matthew 10:7, 11-13) After Jesus’ death, first-century Christians continued to spread their message both “publicly and from house to house.” (Acts 5:42; 20:20)
You did a really good job...wish someone had preached the true gospel when I was a JW for 32 years...today I am a Christian who has submitted to Christ and accepted Him as my Lord and Savior...God incarnate and second person of the Godhead...I’m still learning and undoing all the false JW doctrine...your videos have helped quite a bit along with others ...thank you😊
JW theology aside, our dedication should be to the teachings and commandments of GOD's written word, rather than those of men - for example; Nowhere in scripture do we find the words; _'God incarnate'_ or _'second part of the Godhead',_ leaving those adhering to such things, to contend with fabrications rather than the written truth of GOD. As for the author's arguments, here a few points for consideration; 2:36 - _"I believe Jesus is the true and the living God"_ *The Bible says:* Jesus declared His own God and Father; "the only" true God 3:38 - _"I believe Jesus is a person of God, that God is three persons"_ *The Bible reveals:* There is no such God as, one God in three persons identified anywhere in scripture 4:08 - _"the Bible teaches - that there are three that bare record in heaven, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit"_ *The Bible reveals:* Is a known corruption of the Catholic Church, and has been rejected by most Bible translations today 16:28 - _"but about the Son he says, your throne O' God ..."_ *The Bible reveals:* This is the human Psalmist speaking, whereas the Son of the God anointed to the throne, has a God above Him in verse 9 19:22 - _"why does Thomas call Jesus God"_ *The Bible reveals:* Thomas identified Jesus as His Lord sent by His God to save us - 1 Cor 8.6 30:50 - _"it means something completely different"_ *The Bible reveals:* The title of the God in the opening statement is different than title given to the word that was God; Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος καὶ ὁ λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν θεόν καὶ θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος En archē ēn ho Logos kai ho Logos ēn pros ton Theon kai Theos ēn ho Logos In beginning was the Word and the Word was with the God and the Word was God ton Theon = the God Theos = God, or a God As John 1.1, reveals two titles than one in the same, we find word that was God in the beginning, is not merely a substitute for Jesus, but moreso, a personification of GOD's spoken commandment made-alive in the Son.
@@SmalltimR Acts 4:10-12 shows that, after the cross, Jesus is the Name by which men must saved (sozo in the Greek). Even the murderous NWT perversion couldn't butcher this Scripture enough to disprove this *FACT* . Acts 4:10-12 (NWT) 10 "...let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that in the name of Jesus Christ the Naz·a·reneʹ, whom you executed on a stake but whom God raised up from the dead, by means of him this man stands here healthy in front of you. 11 This (Jesus by context) is ‘the stone that was treated by you builders as of no account that has become the chief cornerstone.’ 12 Furthermore, there is no salvation in anyone else, for there is no other name (Jesus, see v. 10) under heaven that has been given among men by which we must get saved.” "no other name" - Either Yaweh is the Name by which men must be saved (Joel), or Yeshua (Salvation from Hebrew, Jesus from Greek) is the Name by which men must be saved (Peter), or *GOD IS JESUS IN THE FLESH (IMMANUEL)* QED - Enough said.
@@SmalltimR but we do find that the word became flesh or to put it another way the word incarnated, I think Mr smalltime you maybe more comfortable at kingdom hall
@@barnabuspoomph The words 'GOD incarnate', are nowhere written in scripture, and no amount of word manipulation can change that. That said and when it comes to GOD's written truth, we either accept or reject it - whereas false gods and doctrines will always rest on made-up terms and definitions. Those who aspire to the truth take no issue with the written truth in scripture - whereas the notion that made-up words and definitions justify a god that is nowhere; worshiped, taught or preached in Bible history proves to be nothing but hogwash. Did Jesus worship a triune god? Did He ever preach of such a god? Did He teach of such a god in His ministry? Has such a god ever been declared in scripture? Who are we following again? When did Jesus instruct us to follow degenerate men? True followers of Christ are distinguished by their dedication and commitment to the teachings of Jesus Christ. And they do so, by worshiping, teaching and preaching just as Jesus did on earth - that is to say, the true worship and doctrine of godliness established by our Lord Jesus Christ. Whereas those calling themselves Christian, and who are teaching, preaching and worshiping a god unlike the GOD of Jesus Christ, prove to be nothing more than Apostates of the one they claim to follow; 𝚃𝚑𝚞𝚜 𝚜𝚊𝚢𝚜 𝚈𝚊𝚑𝚠𝚎𝚑, 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚁𝚎𝚍𝚎𝚎𝚖𝚎𝚛, 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚑𝚎 𝚠𝚑𝚘 𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚖𝚎𝚍 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚏𝚛𝚘𝚖 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚠𝚘𝚖𝚋: "𝙸 𝚊𝚖 𝚈𝚊𝚑𝚠𝚎𝚑, 𝚠𝚑𝚘 𝚖𝚊𝚔𝚎𝚜 𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚜; 𝚠𝚑𝚘 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝚜𝚝𝚛𝚎𝚝𝚌𝚑𝚎𝚜 𝚘𝚞𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚟𝚎𝚗𝚜; 𝚠𝚑𝚘 𝚜𝚙𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚍𝚜 𝚘𝚞𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚑 𝐛𝐲 𝐦𝐲𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟; - 𝙸𝚜𝚊𝚒𝚊𝚑 𝟺𝟺.𝟸𝟺 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚢 𝚖𝚊𝚢 𝚔𝚗𝚘𝚠 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞, 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐘𝐚𝐡𝐰𝐞𝐡, 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚛 𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚑. - 𝙿𝚜𝚊𝚕𝚖 𝟾𝟹.𝟷𝟾 𝚃𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚒𝚜 𝚎𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚗𝚊𝚕 𝚕𝚒𝚏𝚎, 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚢 𝚜𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚔𝚗𝚘𝚠 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐝, 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚑𝚒𝚖 𝚠𝚑𝚘𝚖 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚜𝚎𝚗𝚝, 𝙹𝚎𝚜𝚞𝚜 𝙲𝚑𝚛𝚒𝚜𝚝. - 𝙹𝚘𝚑𝚗 𝟷𝟽.𝟹 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐅𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐥𝐥, 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐥𝐥, 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚝𝚑𝚛𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑 𝚊𝚕𝚕, 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚒𝚗 𝚞𝚜 𝚊𝚕𝚕. - 𝙴𝚙𝚑𝚎𝚜𝚒𝚊𝚗𝚜 𝟺.𝟼 𝚢𝚎𝚝 𝚝𝚘 𝚞𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚒𝚜 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐝, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫, 𝚘𝚏 𝚠𝚑𝚘𝚖 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚜, 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚠𝚎 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚑𝚒𝚖; 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝, 𝐉𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐬 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭, 𝚝𝚑𝚛𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑 𝚠𝚑𝚘𝚖 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚜, 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚠𝚎 𝚕𝚒𝚟𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚛𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑 𝚑𝚒𝚖. - 𝟷 𝙲𝚘𝚛 𝟾.𝟼 𝟺𝚃𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚒𝚜 𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚋𝚘𝚍𝚢, 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚂𝚙𝚒𝚛𝚒𝚝, 𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚗 𝚊𝚜 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚊𝚕𝚜𝚘 𝚠𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚌𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚎𝚍 𝚒𝚗 𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚑𝚘𝚙𝚎 𝚘𝚏 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚌𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚐; 𝟻𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝙻𝚘𝚛𝚍, 𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚏𝚊𝚒𝚝𝚑, 𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚋𝚊𝚙𝚝𝚒𝚜𝚖, 𝟼𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐅𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐥𝐥, 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐥𝐥, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐚𝐥𝐥, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐮𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐥. - 𝙴𝚙𝚑𝚎𝚜𝚒𝚊𝚗𝚜 𝟺.𝟺-𝟻 𝚃𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚒𝚜 𝚎𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚗𝚊𝚕 𝚕𝚒𝚏𝚎, 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚢 𝚜𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚔𝚗𝚘𝚠 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐝, 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚑𝚒𝚖 𝚠𝚑𝚘𝚖 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚜𝚎𝚗𝚝, 𝙹𝚎𝚜𝚞𝚜 𝙲𝚑𝚛𝚒𝚜𝚝. - 𝙹𝚘𝚑𝚗 𝟷𝟽:𝟹 𝚆𝚎 𝚔𝚗𝚘𝚠 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚂𝚘𝚗 𝚘𝚏 𝙶𝚘𝚍 𝚑𝚊𝚜 𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚎, 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚑𝚊𝚜 𝚐𝚒𝚟𝚎𝚗 𝚞𝚜 𝚊𝚗 𝚞𝚗𝚍𝚎𝚛𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍𝚒𝚗𝚐, 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚠𝚎 𝚔𝚗𝚘𝚠 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐞, 𝐢𝐧 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐒𝐨𝐧 𝐉𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐬 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭.

And where we read, that the flesh was made lower than the angels. Or that no one had seen GOD. GOD incarnate = human fabrication Fully man and fully god = human fabrication GOD the Son = human fabrication GOD the Holy Spirit = human fabrication Triune god = human fabrication One god in three persons = human fabrication Therefore and as a follower of Christ, my advice is to run - run from Satan's lies and false teachings in-favor of the truth. Stop lending yourself to Satan's will by taking part in the proliferation of lies, in honor of Jesus' teachings and commandments - the time to act is now!

@consistency 14 we do know alot about God and how He is because of His word and His presence in a believers life. There is NO guessing when it comes to WHO Jesus is when His word clearly says who He is. Somebody is wrong here, and unfortunately it is the JW...I pray they come to the True knowledge of Jesus Christ, and believe and recieve that which He has done for them. God bless!
I do agree!! From watching this it sounds more like Preston is already thinking next about what he is going to say, while not fully listening to what they are saying, BECAUSE he knows that what they are teaching is false!! Its not always easy to listen when you know someone is wrong, and it's not always easy for there to be a conclusion when the other party is fully brain washed into thinking they are right... so it is so important to be lead by the Spirit of God here!! The thing with JW's is they hold the Bible in the highest regard, so it may be good to show them the error in the bible they read, then to try and convince them that Jesus is God! God bless you All!!
I'm so grateful for you brother, for your efforts. God has put on my heart to reach out Jehovah witnesses and this video encourages me. God bless you he's smiling at you❤
Why is the doctrine of the Trinity or the Triune God unbiblical and comes from pagan Triads? Neither Jesus Himself nor His disciples ever recognized Jesus as Almighty God. Jesus himself prayed to his God as he said. If it were Him, what sense would such a prayer make? Going to the Father, he told his disciples to go into all the world and teach what he taught them. And since he never mentioned that he is God only His Son, who always does what pleases the Father, who, after so many centuries, suddenly teaches something different? Moreover, the very concept of the Trinity is illogical and restrictive of God. Because if God is Almighty, how can He be limited to 3 people? After all, he can turn out to be anyone he wants. I will be Who I will be, he told Moses. And the arguments of this Pastor that I listened to are so self-contradictory that they only confirm, unfortunately, the falsity of the teaching that has penetrated from paganism to Christianity and is trying to be explained somehow logically. Jesus, in his prayer to the Father, clearly emphasizes that there is only One true God, the Father, and he did not include himself in this when he said, "So that they may know You," the One True God. John 17:3 Why do so many people today, who are establishing their churches, subvert the teachings and secretly record it and boast about things that they should be ashamed of as Christians? Jesus announced that after His departure, people would come who would preach perverse doctrines. And this is actually happening.
@Quigle- Dorf It does not say that in the text. You have read your beliefs into the Bible. Jesus is not created. YHWH does not share his glory with another. Jesus is the Mighty God Isaiah 9:6

The more I’ve talked to JW’S the more I come to realize that only by the power of YHVH can they be reached. Well crafted arguments alone can’t do it. I told one recently that without The Indwelling of The Holy Spirit they can’t be saved, they don’t belong to Him, and they can’t enter into The Kingdom. He told me that he’s not entitled or eligible to receive The Holy Spirit. So when I showed him the verse and had him read it he clumsily explained it away. To him it was more about protecting the watchtower teaching and not losing the argument than it was about where he stood with YHVH and what His Word says. Over the years the watchtower has been more effective at hiding their past doctrinal errors from its members, and coming up with ways to defend them. They’re under the spell of the power of darkness and only YHVH can set them free.

@Jesus Christ is Lord That’s true, but what was Jesus gospel? Knowing that would be the basis to determine who is teaching the same thing Jesus taught and who is teaching another gospel. Here is main part of Jesus gospel: Matthew 6:9-10 in the model prayer, Jesus first told us to pray for the sanctification of God’s name, Jehovah. Next, for God’s Kingdom to come and His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. At John 17:26 in a prayer to his Heavenly Father, Jesus said I have made your name know to them and will make it known. Again, he emphasized the importance of God’s name, but he didn’t say “I have made our name known to them”, he said “I have made YOUR name known”. Evidence that Jesus taught about the coming of God’s kingdom is the 24th chapter of Matthew. Jesus disciples ask about the sign of his presence, so it will not be a physical return where everyone will see, but one that will require some discernment. Next, Jesus lays out the composite sign and then in verses 36-39 he says concerning that day and hour, nobody knows, not the angels in heaven, nor the son, but only the Father. This also shows Jesus is not God or a part of a trinity because he does not have the same knowledge that God has. Also, he continues to say that the end of this system of things will be like Noah’s day before the flood. People will just be living life and not caring or paying attention until it is too late. Who are teaching the same gospel that Jesus taught about God’s Kingdom and about the sanctification of God’s name, Jehovah? Only Jehovah’s Witnesses. Everyone else is preaching a different gospel.
Woow bro! I'm learning so much on how to defend our Faith through this new ministry of yours bro! It's truly setting a fire in me, to start urban apologetic in my home city Orlando! I love how you demonstrated love, but still gave correction where correction was needed. We must always be equipped and ready to share and defend our faith, by studying these cults that has so many people lost today. I would love to see you speak with the black Israelites. They are a huge cult moving through our streets in Orlando nowadays, and I'm feeling the urging to talk to them; one in particular is my neighbor. She's made several attempts to convert me. But I'm fortunate enough to know the Truth. Can you share where I can find more research about the black Israelites? Or share a video of you talking to a black Israelite. That would be great! And mean a lot bro! God bless you bro! I look forward to seeing and hearing more content!
Amen and as much as I Ioved this video because whatever Spirit in Him is being rebuked by the true Word of God, I wonder whether this is useful at all. They do this all fat and know their bible, the issue is not ignorance of the gospel or of true doctrine but rejecting it. I think it's a matter of heart because these things are spiritually discerned and the Holy Spirit is our teacher so anyone who doesn't have the right heart or in sin is blinded... In the end,.is it not fruitless debate? We learned from it but did they? They have bad thèse conversations before and rejected the truth just the same... Best pray for them IMHO We wrestle not against flesh and blood
First of all!!!!! Oh my gosh!!! This is SO GOOD. It reminds me of how much I need to get into my Word more!! I did not even know about that passage in Hebrews 1!! I’m so excited! The young man said God never called Jesus God and Preston took him right there!! I do a lot of witnessing as I am out and I can’t typically have a long conversation with a JW because they have changed their beliefs and use the name Jesus more than they ever did, but this gives me some ammo; and I love the respectful interchange. That’s how it should be. I had to laugh though because Preston is putting me to shame. LOL. When I was growing up, my Grandmother used to stand at the door and do the same thing Preston is doing. She was a scholar anyway. I used to be amazed. Granny would just stand sure footed on the Word of God. I LOVE THIS! Blessings to you Preston, your family, and team! Hallelujah!!
@@SmalltimR You reminded me of the reasoning that Jesus provided to his opposers. JESUS answered them: " Is it not written in your law that you are gods ? " Then he provided his actual identity! (" ....I am God's Son...." John 10: 36. ) Back then they rejected the Son...today they reject our Father and don't really know the Son of God.....the messiah. The new King James Bible has removed God's name from Psalm 83: 18. Jesus taught us that the ' world ' would not know his Father....the source of all life! John 17: 25, 26. They promote Jesus above Jesus ' own recognition and promotion that the Father is greater. ( John 14: 28 ) Oh well, the world is fond of its own. I'll try to conquer it. I love John 17.....Jesus' prayer.
Acts 4:10-12 shows that, after the cross, Jesus is the Name by which men must saved (sozo in the Greek). Even the murderous NWT perversion couldn't butcher this Scripture enough to disprove this *FACT* . Acts 4:10-12 (NWT) 10 "...let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that in the name of Jesus Christ the Naz·a·reneʹ, whom you executed on a stake but whom God raised up from the dead, by means of him this man stands here healthy in front of you. 11 This (Jesus by context) is ‘the stone that was treated by you builders as of no account that has become the chief cornerstone.’ 12 Furthermore, there is no salvation in anyone else, for there is no other name (Jesus, see v. 10) under heaven that has been given among men by which we must get saved.” "no other name" - Either Yaweh is the Name by which men must be saved (Joel), or Yeshua (Salvation from Hebrew, Jesus from Greek) is the Name by which men must be saved (Peter), or *GOD IS JESUS IN THE FLESH (IMMANUEL)* QED - Enough said.
@Chris Needs I noticed you copied and pasted this comment as responses to a lot of comments. I’ve already countered this several times, so I’ll briefly point out here that the verse you quoted refutes your claim. Did you not notice where it says that God resurrected Jesus from the dead? You still try to claim Jesus is God and completely ignore that part of the verse. Also, Jesus is not worshipped, but shown the respect he is due for what he did for mankind as well as for his position as second only to God.

Preston that was so good wow that really amazed me. I have a cousin who is a Jehovah's Witness and she stands steadfast to those false teachings, but you really enlightened me on some things, and everyone who watches the interview I believe, will be blessed not because of what you exposed, not being the true religion but me personally, I got a lot of knowledge from this teaching so thank you so much continue to being blessed, walking and doing such a good work for the kingdom in Jesus name amen
(1 Corinthians 8:6) there is actually to us one God, the Father, from whom all things are and we for him; and there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are and we through him. That is what the Bible teaches. And what your cousin believes.
This was a great conversation. My pop is a “Jehovah witness” & I believe “Jesus is Lord” pray for my pop to know the true living God. This helped me understand more of what they believe.
Thing of it is, the JW's believe Jesus is also Lord - though not THE LORD, as-in; YHWH Himself. With that said, the title of Lord is not limited to YHWH in the Bible, though it is often used to identify YHWH in modern day Bible's.

Thank you so much for this, I was able to follow the flow of conversation. I learnt new things about JW theology... I didn’t know it deviated quite a bit from Christianity.
@Lami Olatunji JW beliefs follow the Bible. Most Christian religions follow traditions started by the Catholic Church which were influenced by philosophies, governments and false religion. One must examine what the Bible says to determine the truth. Even doing a little secular research would prove the trinity was not a teaching of the first century Christians and came about hundreds of years later. Twisting meanings of Greek words to support a false belief is not teaching truth. Prototokos comes from the root words Proto, meaning first or only, and Tokos, which means to give birth to. Toko- (prefix): Stemming from the Greek word "tokos" meaning childbirth, we have toc-, toco-, tok-, and toko- as combining forms, all referring to labor or childbirth. So, Proto, first or only, as in prototype and tokos, to give birth to, means literally firstborn, not preeminent one as Preston tries to say. That definition was added to try amd support the false trinity doctrine, but is not what the meaning has been known to be for centuries.

@Jonathan Soko to be a trinity would be to worship three beings instead of one. That is why. Jesus. Always gave the glory to his father. If we are to follow jesus example isn't this what we should do to?
@Jonathan Soko it's not my opinion it is the bibles words. he is all powerful and anything is possible for God. But it's just not what he is or has done. Actually there is something impossible for God.... That is to lie!
@Jonathan Soko the only thing is is that jesus is from God so is the holy spirit. So in that way he is in God's form or nature. The same way we are of human parents so we are in human nature or form. This does not make us our parents but all are human. Does that make sense?
@Jonathan Soko Hebrews 6.18 God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be greatly encouraged.

This is so powerful. As a young Christian I will be using this in my counter arguments and rebuttals. I’ve learned more during this pandemic by watching this than going to church. Also, I’m Seventh Day Adventist and I would love to see that conversation.
Here's a quick list of issues surrounding Preston's proposed beliefs; 2:36 - _"I believe Jesus is the true and the living GOD"_ - *The Bible says:* Jesus declared His own GOD and Father; "the only" true GOD 3:38 - _"I believe Jesus is a person of GOD, that GOD is three persons"_ - *The Bible reveals:* There is no such GOD as one God in three identified anywhere in Bible history 4:08 - _"the Bible teaches - that there are three that bare record in heaven, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit"_ - *The Bible reveals:* this to be a known corruption of the Catholic Church, and has been rejected by most Bible translations today 16:28 - _"but about the Son he says, your throne O' God ..."_ - *The Bible reveals:* these are the words of the human Psalmist, whereas the son anointed to the throne is identified as having a GOD above Him(v9) 19:22 - _"why does Thomas call Jesus GOD"_ - *The Bible reveals:* Thomas identified Jesus as His Lord who was sent by GOD to save us - 1 Cor 8.6 30:50 - _"it means something completely different"_ - *The Bible reveals:* The title of the GOD in the opening statement is different than title given to the word that was GOD; Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος καὶ ὁ λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν θεόν καὶ θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος En archē ēn ho Logos kai ho Logos ēn pros ton Theon kai Theos ēn ho Logos In beginning was the Word and the Word was with the God and the Word was GOD ton Theon = the GOD Theos = GOD, or a GOD John 1.1 makes use of two different titles of GOD rather than attributing the same title to the word who was GOD
@@SmalltimR He already explained God the father isn’t Jesus, 1 God 3 persons all distinct from one another but are all God God says let us make man in OUR image, implying plurality. Not to mention a lot of other scripture verifying plurality. 1 john 5:7 ὅτι εἰσιν τρεῖς μαρτυροῦντες ἐν οὐρανῷ ὁ πατήρ ὁ λόγος καὶ τὸ ἅγιον Πνεῦμα καὶ οὗτοι τρεῖς εἰσιν ἕν It isn’t corruption by the Catholic Church, if so prove it, I need sources and links please friend. Jesus praying to the father or worshipping the father, or praise if the father etc,does not imply the father is above him, they are one. Jesus was sent by the father, Correct, doesnt denote Jesus being the Logos, you should know what the logos is, it’s at the bottom of your comment in the Greek
@@sagepope6985 *RE:* 1 God 3 persons all distinct from one another but are all God *A* ...Is nowhere written in scripture and therefore a fabrication and a lie - don't you see that? In addition to this, who claimed GOD the Father was Jesus? From what statement or argument have you concluded this was up for debate? *RE:* Not to mention a lot of other scripture verifying plurality *A.* Here again, who argued against a plurality? Are you under the impression that most people do not accept that Jesus and His Father existed, or that this would constitute a plurality? And finally, your claim that 1 John 5.7 isn't a corruption by the Catholic Church counts for nothing whatsoever - as it is obvious that there are enough Bible translators and Scholars to conclude that every single Bible translation other than the KJV and its variants, would remove the rendering from their Bibles - do you realize how many Bibles that actually is? Needless to say, there are literally years upon years of documented arguments on this topic, and it is highly unlikely that your claim to the Catholic Church will prove anything against the mountains of evidence gathered toward this topic. Let alone, convince me that a Church that has proven to be so dirty and so vile, and who would even take precedent over Jesus Himself, would ever count for anything other than the devil himself is beyond me. As for Jesus praying and calling His Father His GOD and whom He worshiped - the answer is a resounding yes, of course, His Father is above Him - I mean seriously, how silly can you be, Jesus Himself said it, the Father is greater than I, and greater than all - the only true GOD, etc, etc, etc. *[They are one]* Yes, as it turns out Jesus and His GOD and Father are indeed one! As are we - John 17.20-26 And if there's one thing we know, it's that we are not equal-to or GOD ourselves as a result - here again, revealing the desperation and terribly reasoning used to argue a god that is nowhere worshiped, declared, taught or preached anywhere in scripture. And finally, and with regard to your closing statement, here again, as you demonstrated over and over again, who argued that Jesus was not the logos? Why even bring it up? Whatever the case, these are terrible arguments, based on terrible reasoning, most of which doesn't even make any sense, and yet, here you are, arguing in-favor of a god that is nothing like the GOD of Jesus Christ and who worshiped in truth, and all because a group of degenerate said so - not Jesus, or any of GOD's approved writers, but very very clearly, because one corrupt and soiled religious organization told you so - see And that my friend is the state of Christendom today - people going around and claiming to be followers of Christ, and who are not following in Jesus' footsteps at all. And when asked why they are worshiping, teaching and preaching a god that is completely unlike the GOD of our Lord Jesus Christ, the point to a Church with a history and past as evil as the devil himself...
@@smalltimer4370 Just because it doesn’t specifically say there is one God three persons, its evidently implied to be so, from the plurality of God(gen 1:26), to Jesus being the image of THEE invisible GOD(col 1:15), to GOD literally saying he Brought the Church with his OWN BLOOD(God the father is spirit, Jesus is who purchased the church with his blood)(acts 20:28), to Colossians 1:16 literally saying ALL THINGS were created by Jesus and for Jesus. To Isaiah 44:24 “I am the LORD that makers ALL THINGS;that stretcheth forth the heavens ALONE; that spreadeth abroad the earth by MYSELF” which is God the father speaking so who made everything? GOD or Jesus, 1 God, three distinct persons. By you being confused on the notion that Jesus is God and the father is God and the Holy Spirit is God. Your arguing against plurality by denying the fact Jesus and the Holy Spirit are both God aswell. No it isn’t about if they existed or not, it’s about they are 1 being hence why God said let us make man in OUR image and not MY image And again I say, the burden of proof is on you, you need to prove the corruption of the text with links and sources, I gave you the literal translation from manuscript, and you say it’s corrupted, and I go off the KJV so it means little. Yet you provided none? I don’t like Catholicism, Jehovah witness, SDA, Mormonism, even modern day Christianity, I actually don’t like any religion, division is all it causes, and all based off their own beliefs then use scripture to back up said belief. You still have yet to provide a SINGLE source. And I already know the corruption of the Catholic Church, that does not mean the KJV is corrupted we can even go back to the 1611 KJV the first ever translation, first published etc it literally says the same thing. Your right Catholicism is Demonic, but let God be true and every man a liar, AS IT IS WRITTEN Roman’s 3:4. No that does not imply God the father is above him, because they are One being, i and the father are one, Jesus is the interceder, hence why he showed us how to pray and needed the father and Holy Spirit to complete his task on earth, there’s rules that Jesus had to follow because he came to fulfill the law. He said the father is greater than I because Jesus was bound by flesh during his time on earth, Jesus is literally God, not the father, but he is God. John 17:20-26 is talking about the body of Christ, we are all members of the body of Christ 1 cor 12:12-27 I have more scriptures in my journal but idk where it is atm. I agree we are not equal to God we were created by him ofc. But Jesus isn’t just some person, or a seperate deity like a lot of religions teach, I don’t preach or teach seperate deities, just like we have a body, a soul and spirit but we are one being, hence why he said in OUR Image, 1 being 3 distinct persons and all three persons are described as God these are the three truths I base my theology and beliefs on because IT IS WRITTEN. Because God is the logos, and by saying Jesus isn’t God you deny the fact Jesus being the Logos because God himself is the Logos AS IT IS WRITTEN if you want to refer back to Isaiah. Not terrible arguments when your rebuttals hold no stable foundation, Of course you can’t fully Comprehend God completely, but I gave you the best explanation I can, just like we have a body, soul and spirit 3 distinct persons but 1 being, God is similar. I’ve seen examples explaining it better but you’ll need to do your own research, even in speech you can see the distinction between each person of yourself speaking whether it’s the spirit soul or body. It’s hard to explain. Now your Bashing someone who follows Christ? Jesus is completely like God the father, they are of one nature, one being. Believing there is not One God but three seperate gods is polytheism, believing there is only one God and the three persons are distinct from one another is Arianism and or believing there is only one God but the three persons are described as God(not distinct) is Modalism hence why there is 3 truths. There is only ONE God Three persons are described as God The three are distinct from each other (ie the father is not the son vise versa neither is the Holy Spirit the father and vise versa).
@@sagepope6985 The notion that anyone should ignore the explicit teachings of scripture to worship a god that is nowhere declared, worshiped or preached in all of Bible history is in-itself sheer insanity... Likewise, the notion that true followers of Christ would be compelled to abandon the example set by Jesus on earth, and to worship a god that is nowhere declared, taught or worshiped anywhere in scripture, is in itself insane. And least but not last, the notion that anyone other than the antichrist could ever take-up such a position, is in-itself, insane. And so to your less than stellar attempts at presenting your manmade god and doctrine, I would simply add that there is absolutely no chance in hell that a true follower of Christ would ever stop following Jesus' for such an obvious corruption of the truth. And finally, the fact that you have shown no interest whatsoever in the established truth, or the fact that you are worshiping a god that is completely unlike the GOD of Jesus Christ, as well as following a doctrine other than the doctrine of godliness, says it all; _sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth_ - John 17.17 _...he opened their minds, that they might understand the Scriptures_ - Luke 24.45 _...after my departure, vicious wolves will enter in among you ...from among your own selves, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them_ - Acts 20.29-30 _...they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but, having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts_ - 2 Tim 4.3 _...test the spirits to see whether they are from God. For many false prophets have gone out into the world_ - 1 John 4.1 _'I thank you, O Father ...that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to little children...'_ - Luke 10.21 _...false prophets ...false teachers... destructive heresies ...the truth will be maligned... with deceptive words..._ - 2 Peter 1.1-3 _let no one deceive you in any way. For it will not be, unless the departure comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of destruction, 4he who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called god or that is worshiped; so that he sits as god in the temple of GOD, setting himself up as god_ - 2 Thes 2.2-4 _because of this, God sends them a working of error, that they should believe a lie; 12that they all might be judged who didn't believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness_ - 2 Thes 2.11 Therefore and with that being said, if and when you finally decide to follow in Jesus' footsteps, and to tell Satan and his followers where to go with their obvious false god and doctrine, please come back and tell me, as I have much to share on the written truth GOD in accordance with His written word.
The son and the father are one...they are united, not literally two bodies in one personality, they're two different persons. The father is Jehovah, the son is Jesus.
@@dwhite8005 the father is God, while I chose the father meant god in Jesus's case e.g King and Prince, Father and Son. Jesus is a greater being than every other being except the father.

Remember he is going to subject every thing to the one who subjected everything to him including himself.

"Those who dwell in the secret place of the most high." Through the Spirit you exposed them with the light of the Truth, but their eyes are blinded.
Preston gave a wonderful witness. Thank you Preston. And it was not rocket science either. He went to 4 to 5 key verses that present Jesus as both Son of Man & Son of God, being one with the Father. And now we all can.
@Vonroe Preston is not saturated with the scriptures, he uses the same bad arguments that everyone who tries to support the false trinity doctrine uses. They try so hard to stand on John 1:1 and claim there was no “a” in Greek, but read throughout the gospel in any of those Bibles and you will see they use “a” many times. How can they argue not to use it at John 1:1 because there was no “a” in Greek but use the “a” other places. Just shows they’re deceitful and this is not a valid argument. Don’t stand on one verse for you entire beliefs. What does the rest of the Bible say about who God is? Isaiah 42:8 “I am Jehovah, that is my name; and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise unto graven images”. (ASV) Deuteronomy 4:35 “Unto thee it was showed, that thou mightest know that Jehovah he is God; there is none else besides him.“ (ASV) The Jews had one God. His name is Jehovah. Jesus was a Jew and worshipped Jehovah. Psalms 83:18 “ 18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is Jehovah, art the most high over all the earth.” (KJV) Ephesians 1:3 talks about the God and Father of our lord Jesus Christ. Yes, Jesus has a God. 1 Timothy 2:5 says “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus.” Jesus is not God. He is the mediator between us and God.
@@watchman8644 I say this as kindly as I can, without hatred... You are a heretic teaching a false gospel. John 10:30..."I and the Father are one." John 14:7-14..."

I have been an avid Bible student for the better part of 15 years. Though unlike yourself, I have recently come to the conclusion that the JW organization have the best worship this earth has to offer at this time Which is quite amazing, as I pleaded to the one true God of our Lord Jesus Christ to help me - He provided me with the answer - which was as unbelievable as it was uncanny The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ directed me to the JW organization to fulfill my objective of becoming a true follower of Christ!

@SmalltimR Welcome to the truth my brother. It’s amazing how everything becomes clear and makes sense once we honestly ask Jehovah to show us the truth. I look forward to meeting someday.
Much like what the guy in red cap/pants black jacket did when the JW brother showed him the scriptures which proves Jesus isn't God. Guy in red and black redirected the JW brother to a scripture he felt proved Jesus is God. But like the JW brother said you must consider the bible in it's entirety on this subject. Also the translation must be considered because some translations such as the King James Version have copyist errors.
Honestly, the JW gave a more strong point and gave more evidence to what they were talking and was more based on Bible... more Biblical... I would say they had a good conversation but the JW gave a more solid response.
Hope u can watch that again, to realize Preston was asking questions but instead of listening to the answerS he kept interrupting and redirecting. Lets be objective here.....if u ask a question and the person has five points that bring it all together to answer your question then you need to listen before redirecting to your own points.
@@rodolfocontreras4051 so true. Preston constantly interrupted the JW brother. He did it when they discussed John 1:1 concerning the inserting of the A before the second mention of God. He also did it when they were discussing John 17:3 about Jesus referring to his Father as the ONLY TRUE GOD in his (Jesus') prayer. It's good to know that someone was paying attention and noticed what Preston was doing. Good observation.
@Jesus is God Colossians 1:15 says that Jesus was the FIRSTBORN OF ALL CREATION. Verse 16 which you mentioned is therefore referring to all other things which were created by means of Jesus when he was in his prehuman spirit form in the beginning. Of course this is with the exception of Jehovah God himself who wasn't ever created.
Jesus in Hebrew is Yeshua and it means: "Jehovah is Salvation", so when you say the name of Jesus, you are giving praise to his father, Jehovah. There is no way around it.
JW sidekicks are generally quiet because they are more ignorant then the one talking. Good ones jump in to help out. But secretly they like to see each other get grilled.
If one was to record a conversation against another's consent and repeatedly interrupt that person because he (Preston) knows that he is secretly recording; how then is he obeying Jesus when Jesus says "All things.. you want men to do to you, you also must do to them"? Here is how the Bible proves that Jesus is not God: 1) Jesus worshiped God and says that his God is the Father in John 20:17. So how can God have a God? That of course isn't logical, God does not have a God but here Jesus says plainly that his God is his Father. Jesus also says he has brothers and we know God does not have brothers. 2) Jesus teaches that his God created him. In John 6:57 his says that the reason he is alive is because of his Father, "I live because of the Father". Couple this with that fact that he is "begotten" of his God (John 3:16) means plainly that at one point he was non existent until God Begot him just like at one point we all were non existent till our parents begot us, also (Col 1:15). 3) God's name Jehovah identifies the person who is the "ONLY true God" (John 17:3). If you simply put God's personal name Jehovah back in the scriptures where God himself had it inscribed by his prophets, then all confusion about who God is would dissipate. If you wrote a book and hired publishers to print and translate your book, but they kept repeatedly altering it by removing the name of its main character, would you not find other publishers? You would use even the lowest and unimpressive if they would keep true to your book. Well Jehovah God has done somthing similar. John 1:1 therefore translates the verse not only to common sense but also with insight of God's personal name Jehovah YHWH. 4) the Trinity concept originated from pagans and the occult. Pagans still worship triune gods. the trinity doctrine is pagan. It worships 3 different persons as God. That's pagan my friend.
Jesus is Gods Son that's it Not (God Almighty the Creator) Let's take a Look at the Bible and see what it Says 1. Then why is God head of Christ just as Christ is Head of man? (1st coriethians 11:3) 2.) Then why does Scripture consistently phrase Jesus as a Separate person from God? (John 20:17); (John 14:1); (Mark 10:18); (John 17:1-3), Also in Heaven, (Luke 22:69) 3.) Then how can Jesus have a god? (Micah 5:4), (pslams 45:6, 7; 89:26, John 20:17; (Romans 15:6;2), (Coriethians 1:3, Eph. 1:3; (Col. 1:3) (Mark 15:34); (John 17:1-3) Also in heaven (Rev. 1:6; 3:3, 12) 4. Then why does Scripture say he was born and part of creation? (Colessians 1:15) 5. Then why does (Rev. 3:14) Say that Jesus was the beginning of the Creation by God? 6. Then why is he subject to god like we are subject to him? (1st Cor. 15:27,28); (Eph. 1:17) 7. Then why does (Micah 5:2) say that Jesus Origin was from Early times? 8. Then why does Jesus not know what God knows? (Matthew 24:36,) (Rev. 1:1); (Luke 8:45) 9. Then why is Jesus still subject to (god) when he is as high as he will ever be? (1st Cor. 15:27,28) 10. Then why does (Proverbs 8:22-31) show that the Messiah was created/Produced by God? 11. Then why is he not powerful enough to subject things to himself? (1st Cor. 15:27); (Eph. 1:17,22) 12. Then why would he have to be given any power & authority? (Matthew 28:18; 11:27; (John 5:22; 17:2; 3:35;) (2nd 1:17) 13. Then why did he have to learn anything? (Hebrews 5:8), (John 5:19; 8:28) 14. Then why is speaking against him not as bad as speaking against the Holy Spirit? (Matthew 12:31, 32;); (Luke 12:10) 15. Then why did Jesus Call the Father the Only True God? (John 17:3) 16. Then why did he need to be saved? (Hebrews 5:7); (John 12:27) 17. Then why did he have to be exalted to leader & savior? (Acts 5:31) 18. Then how can he be exalted and (Given) a higher name then he had? (Philippians 2:9-11); (Hebrews 1:2-4) 19. Then why did he have to be given Life in himself? (John 5:25, 26) 20. Then how could his Father be Greater then he and not equal trinity? (John 14:28) 21. Then how could Jesus be tempted by Satan in(Matthew 4:10) when God cannot be tempted by Evil (James 1:13) 22. Then why did Jesus (Worship) the Father (John 4:22) 23. Then why can he not do anything of his own? (John 5:19; 6:38) 24. Then why would Jesus pray to Anybody? (Luke 22:44; ) (John 17:1,2) 25. Then why do John 1:18 and 1st John 4:9 say that Jesus is God's only Begotten Son? 26. Then how can Jesus be God's servant? (Acts 4:26, 27,30) 27. Then how could he receive strength from an angel? (Luke 22:43) 28. Then how could he be the mediator between God & man? (1st Timothy 2:5) 29. Then how could he be with God (ton theon)? (John 1:1) 30. Then how could he be God's image? (Col. 1:15;) (Hebrews 1:3) Then why is he called the agency (dia) of creation and not the originator (ek)? (1cor. 8:6); (John 1:1-3); (Prov. 8:30) (Hebrews 2:10); (Col. 1:15, 16) 32. Then why did Jesus say God was good in a way that Jesus was not?(Mark 10:18) 33. Then why does Jesus have the voice of the Archangel and not the voice of God? (1st thess. 4:16) 34. Then why is the only worship given to him the same given to humans ? (Heb. 1:6) (Matt. 18:26;); (Rev. 3:9) 35. Then why do many who believe and rely on a few so called proof texts instead of the context of the consisent teachings of the entire Bible? 36.then how can Jesus be commanded to do anything? (John 12:49), (deutronemy 18:18) 37. Then why did Steven see 2 separate entities God & Jesus and not just one god or 3 person's? (Acts 7:55) 38. Then how could Jesus be seen at God's right hand?(Luke 22:69); (Acts 7;55); (Romans 8:34) 39. Then how could Jesus be exalted not to become God himself, but to the position of the right hand of God?(,Acts 2:33) 40. Then why would he have to receive a revelation from God?(rev. 1:1) 41. Then why is he called God's begotten Son before he came to Earth? (John 3:16); (Galations 4:4), (1st John 4:9) 42. Then how could he have a father (John 20:17) 43. Then how could he come in Flesh? (1st Kings 8:27); (Acts 17:24, 25) 44. Then why did Jesus not come in his own Name? (John 5:41-44) 45. Then why did Jesus come down from Heaven to do God's will and Not His Own? (Luke 22:42); (John 6:38) (John 5:30) (John 8:42) 46. Then how could Jesus appear before God when he went back to (Heaven)? (Hebrews 9:24) 47. Then how could Jesus die? Can God die? Can part of God die? (Romans 5:10); (Acts 5:30); (Habbuk 1:12); ,(1st time. 6:16); (Numbers 23:19) (1st Cor. 15:3); (Plsams 90:2); (Daniel 6:25-26) 48. Then why is it that God ressurrected Jesus? (Acts 2:32) (Acts 5:30) (Romans 10:9,10) 49. Then why can we see him if No Man has seen God at any time? (John 1:18) 50. Then why is there not one clear scripture where Jesus is called God the Son, (Equal to those declaring God the Father) 51. How is it that the Jews rounded up some false witnesses to make up lies to obtain a death sentence for Jesus, but niether the Jewish officials nor even one of those false witnesses made a claim that Jesus was God or Equally god? (Matthew 26:59-67) 52. John summed up his whole Gospel by saying that it was written that we may believe that Jesus is Christ, the son of God. Why is there no mention in that summary of the entire Gospel of what would be the Most important thing of all that Jesus is God? (John 20:31)
It is sad you feel like this scripture supports a triune God. This scripture is talking about Jesus being elevated to a higher position in Gods kingdom. Lets look back a bit to the actual beginning of this scripture , here in 1:1 he is telling us that God spoke to their ancestors through MEN , which elevated these men to Prophets , then he explained that in these days he spoke through his son, He identifies in the next few verses that the son existed with the creator at the very beginning Then the following verses that you say case closed show what happen AFTER his sacrifice , it actually says in verse 3,4 When he cleansed us from our sin, he sat down at the right hand off the majestic GOD in heaven (notice this only happen after he went back to heaven) This shows the Son if far greater than the angels (this shows he was elevated to that position) just as the name GOD (The father) gave him is greater than theirs,. These verses clearly shows us that Jesus was elevated to this high position above the Angels , he did not always have that position.
@@stevenwbaker56 this scripture is mistranslated in Greek morphē μορφῇ this translates in the form of and is also used to describe angels in other passages, this dose not Identify him as God, and when you continue to read this passage it tells you again that Jesus did not hold this position prior to this obedience in fact it was his obedience (which God himself did not have to prove to have) that gained him honour to that position. Look further into verse 9 where is clearly states that he was ELEVATED to that place of honour this indicates clearly he did not hold this position prior to that.
@@mattandmeadow You're very mistaken Jesus has two natures human nature and also the divine nature. As only unique son... Jesus Christ is not no angel..
@@chivasboss I understand that you would rather think of Jesus as GOD himself and it is essential to your religion. But that docent make it correct. I can not have shown more proof than I have on this thread , You can not make someone see truth when they are busy trying to defend their lie. I do how ever implore you to do some research put down that very poorly translated bible you are reading and see the truth for yourself . And if that is too much work for you than you do not deserve the reward on offer at the end of it.

2:36 - _'I believe Jesus is the true and the living GOD'_ - *The Bible says;* _'Jesus declared His own GOD and Father; "the only" true GOD'_ 3:38 - _'I believe Jesus is a person of GOD, that GOD is three persons;_ - *The Bible reveals;* _'There is no such GOD as one God in three identified anywhere in Bible history'_ 4:08 - _'the Bible teaches - that there are three that bare record in heaven, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit'_ - *The Bible reveals;* _'this to be a known corruption of the Catholic Church, and has been rejected by most Bible translations today'_ 16:28 - _'but about the Son he says, your throne O' God ...;_ - *The Bible reveals;* _'these are the words of the human Psalmist, whereas the son anointed to the throne is identified as having a GOD above Him(v9)'_ 19:22 - _'why does Thomas call Jesus GOD'_ - *The Bible reveals;* _'Thomas confessed the resurrected of Jesus Christ, made possible by His GOD and Father'_ - John 14.1, 1 Cor 8.6 30:50 - _'it means something completely different;_ - *The Bible reveals;* _'the title of the Word in John, is a personification of GOD's spoken will and commandment'_ - Ps 33.6-9, Isaiah 55.11 Therefore and as the title is both literal(see; out of His mouth), as well as personified in the Son, the conclusion is that the word that was GOD, is in-reflection to work carried-out by agency in the beginning. And finally and on the matter of salvation, it is not religions that save us, but our faith in Jesus Christ sent by GOD to save us. And that anyone putting faith in the ransom sacrifice of Jesus Christ to take-up a life in accordance with His teachings and commandment will be saved.
I love this... Only thing I’d encourage is allowing one person to speak at a time, without rushing to speak “over them”, while witnessing. There’s a difference with talking “AT” and talking “to”... Great video. I love the content, and I love your heart for apologetics bro. I do the same stuff.
Anton was bending over backward to be polite and listen to him..... and if he noticed the camera I'm sure it was a distraction. to have a full out rebuttal might have come off as a negative image to the public.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the WORD WAS GOD. Drop down to John 1:14 And the WORD was made FLESH, and DWELT AMONG US, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. I have also had JW tell me that Thomas was not speaking literally and what you said here helped me next time. Bless you. Good job bro. Keep preaching the truth.

@@onlyjoetee Jesus prays to God as a living example of how we need to 1)follow Jesus and do as He does. Jesus made himself lowly and is both fully man and fully God. Jesus does everything for others and we are called to also die to self. 2) Jesus not only prays to God in the new testament Jesus is prayed to. Here are a few examples - this is not a comprehensive list - Stephen prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my Spirit” (Acts 7:59). At Paul’s conversion, he prayed to Jesus: “Lord, what wilt thou have me do?” (Acts 9:6). Ananias conversed with Jesus when Jesus spoke to him in a vision (Acts 9:10-14). And the very last prayer in the New Testament is addressed to Jesus by the Apostle John: “Even so come, Lord Jesus!” (Revelation 22:20). If it were wrong to petition Christ, John the inspired writer may have said, “Father, may the Son come.” But instead he gave us these words to also cry out to Jesus: “Even so, come!” According to the apostle Paul, New Testament Christians were everywhere praying to Jesus. “Paul. . . to the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ-their Lord and ours (1 Corinthians 1:1-2).”4 It appears that Paul includes himself among those who called upon the name of Jesus. These prayers directed to Jesus were universal. And the present tense of “call” suggests that the prayers were on-going. Paul also prayed to Jesus when he “besought the Lord” to remove his thorn in the flesh (2 Corinthians 12:8). Why do we believe that the reference to “the Lord” here refers to Jesus instead of the Father? In the Pauline epistles, the term “Lord” (kurios) usually signifies Jesus, while “God” usually denotes to the Father. And look at the response of Paul when the Lord said to him, “My strength is made perfect in your weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9). Paul tells us that he would glory in his weakness that the “power of Christ” (the Lord) would be revealed in him. So the referent for “the Lord” is Jesus. Paul prayed to Jesus, and Jesus responded. Notice that these were prayers of petition, not praise. These were not spontaneous petitions or petitions given in response to the voice of the Lord or a vision, but a prayer prayed three times, as Paul persisted in his request to Jesus. If it were inappropriate for someone to offer supplication to Jesus, Paul would not have asked Jesus three times to answer a specific request. Jesus did not rebuke Paul for praying the prayer, but He did inform Paul that he was better off without the request being granted. In 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17, Paul blessed the Thessalonians with these words: “May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father. . . encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.” Even though this benedictory prayer is in a different form than other prayers, it implies a request to Jesus (and the Father), and this suggests the legitimacy of prayer to Jesus. Paul expected Jesus to answer this request. A similar benedictory prayer (invoking the name of Jesus) is found in 1 Thessalonians 3:11-14. We pray to Jesus because we know He is worthy of worship, and that He even demands worship. Jesus commanded us to honor the Son just as we honor the Father (John 5:23). If we fail to give praise to the Son in our prayers, as we give praise the Father, would we really be honoring the Son as we do the Father? “Maranatha” (found in 1 Corinthians 16:22), which is usually translated as the petition, “Come, O Lord.” “Maranatha” is an Aramaic expression that originated before Christians had filtered throughout the Gentile community. It seems that very early on, the Christians were crying out to Jesus, “Come, O Lord!” This was a prayer of petition. A verse in John 14 strongly encourages prayers of petition to Jesus. Jesus said, “Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.”12 Jesus here says that he would answer prayer when we asked him anything in his name. So Jesus authorizes us to address him in prayer when we come in his name-in his own authority, and in his will. And he promised that he would answer. Prayers to Jesus are permitted and encouraged by Christ’s teaching in John 14:14, and by any passage in which Jesus says that we are to pray in His name. When Jesus told us to pray in His name, He wasn’t asking us to use a particular phrase at the end of each of our prayers, though the expression “in Jesus’ name, Amen” is certainly appropriate, and God-honored. Jesus is worthy to receive all honor and all praise and all glory. In Jesus name. Amen. Shalom! Jesus awaits that you "follow him" and be transformed and made new!
@@onlyjoetee what we understand from the revelation is that there is relationship within the oneness of God. It brings a wonderful new understanding to the verse which says God is Love in 1 John. The dynamic of God can only be understood by revelation of God to you.
44:00 Only begotten (monogenēs in Greek) means one and only, one of a kind, unique. Begotten/beget means to bring into existence JWs always use this argument, just like they do with the word ‘firstborn’ which means preeminent one, not first created. The group of people who ‘translated’ their bible weren’t even trained in Greek. Fred Franz only did a couple of weeks of learning the language. Not one of the translators were bible scholars. This all came out in the court trial of 1954. I’m so glad I walked away from this cult in 1997. They kept the real Jesus from me for too long. God bless u, brother
the facts you do not know would change everything....you've been hoodwinked even back in 1950 an unbiased evaluation of the NWT prove it to be the equal of the best translation of that time.But detractors don't want that to get out...
John Colage do you need to be a Jehovah’s Witness to obtain salvation? If you were a baptized Jehovah’s Witness in 1974 and believed that no man knows when the end would come would you be wrong? Witnesses taught the world was coming to an end and it didn’t. Would you have been brave enough to stand up for the truth? Or would you blindly have followed that doctrine? If they got it wrong before could they be wrong again?
@@andremyy We have to be baptized into the same religion as Jesus Christ was baptized to have the opportunity for eternal life. All other religions are false. The eight that survived "The Great Flood " and the three that survived the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah were Jehovah's Witnesses. Please read John 6:67--71. Outside the true congregation, what alternative organization is there? Only Satan's organization. The angel Satan was a Jehovah's Witness before he rebelled his Creator, Jehovah, and convinced other angels to leave their heavenly position. Did he not trick Eve and Adam from receiving eternal life? Yes, there is no resurrection for those two or Cain. The first human on earth to be a Jehovah's Witness was Abel. The reason the first created angel, whom became a man named Jesus, was sent to earth, to restore and undo the damage the one angel caused. He knew that his life is short on earth and before entering back into heaven, Jesus arranged an organization on earth to provide spiritual food to benefit us here on earth. Today, there are close to nine million and growing, baptized into the same religion as Christ Jesus. As in the past, they are the only ones that have the opportunity to survive this fast approaching "Great Tribulation." Visit jw.org Humanity's only salvation.
John Colage So you don’t directly answer my question. If you were a baptized witness in. 1974 and the organization was teaching that the world would come to an end would you be wrong not to believe it? If this is truly Yah’s organization does that mean Yah promotes lies? The truth is the truth and stands by itself... Are you humble enough to serve Yah in spirit and truth and reject these religions? Imagine that John we both are baptized publishers and we are teaching opposite of scripture that the end is coming. Then when it doesn’t come to past we blame Yah?? Hmmm 🤔 use discernment if they got it wrong before who is to say they don’t have it wrong now? Jesus is the manifestation of the most high in the flesh. If you John would have believed what the Bible taught about no man knowing when the end would come... you would have been disfellowshiped for going against the organization. Although you reasoned from the scriptures and believed the Bible Think 🤔 Separate Yah from this religion... it is a man made organization
Thank you for being so patient. I am slowly learning to share the word and I have next door neighbors who are JW. They have a son who is a missionary in Ghana. Since being baptized in the Holy Spirit a couple years ago it is in my heart to talk to him. He is coming home in August and I feel I am supposed to share my experience with him. The parents are elderly and I feel it wouldn't be received well. Peace
I think it would entirely depend on if you are willing to be reasonable, as to how they would receive you. Unlike Preston in this video, who interrupted consistently, and couldn't hear what they said.
@@mikemccormick9667 I encourage you to talk with them. If you approach with an open mind, and heart, they would be happy to talk to you. But if your goal is only to preach, like Preston, then you may not hear what they are saying.
As an ex Jehovah Witness, I am disgusted of how this Jw can’t even pay attention nor listen to what Preston is saying, and we learned to pay attention according to the Bible. It show the mind controlled of how the GOVERNING BODY is controlling them to make all Jehovah Witnesses to be close minded. You just can not reason with them. I was impressed with Preston of how he approach to Anton. There are two scriptures that actually made me think why trinity make sense Hebrew 1:5-8 and Revelation 22:13. All active Jehovah Witness on the street have this mentality that “they want to be right!” I am so glad that Preston brought about Charles Taze Russel who claimed that the world will end 1914. Also, later, the governing body or group people who running the organization, predicted the world was going to end in 1975. I love how you brought this scripture Deuteronomy 18:22 and it make believe Jehovah’s Witness is a cult and bunch of lies.
Can you answer a simple question if you can..."why are there millions of Jehovah's Witnesses then" if it's a cult steeped in mind manipulation. My ex girlfriend went back to JW's and I could not wrap my mind around that whole practice. Thank you!
@@hassanesdaile3671 ...I was asking in reference to a lot of ex-JW's saying it's a cult...so my question was, if that's what's being said then why are there millions around the world. I was in Switzerland few years ago and they were there!
2 years later and I'm having 2nd hand embarrassment 😂 But all jokes aside, this is definitely serious because at the end of the day it's souls at stake. These conversations are Needed but just so awkward to watch. I wish I knew the word enough to have these conversations Confidentially, and really be able to stand on it and say This what it is and be able to back it up.
@Kalvin Booker You’re right, there are lives at stake. If you haven’t studied the Bible enough to have these conversations, how do you know which one is right? For example, most people who watch this would agree with Preston, because they have been raised or taught that God is a trinity or that Jesus is God. Is that what the Bible actually teaches? Matthew 7:13-14 says “ Enter ye in by the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many are they that enter in thereby. For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leadeth unto life, and few are they that find it.” According to Matthew, most people will be on the wrong road, so perhaps Anton is right. I speak 4 languages fluently and several others a little bit. I speak and can read and write in Spanish and Portuguese and can read some Italian, French and Romanian. I speak Mandarin Chinese but have not learned to read any yet. I can tell you that Preston knows nothing about translation and is just regurgitating nonsense he was taught by people who try to defend the false trinity doctrine. Do your research people. Any legitimate encyclopedia will tell you that the trinity doctrine was not a first century Christian teaching and was developed centuries later when Greek philosophies and pagan beliefs infiltrated Christian teachings. More importantly, what does the Bible say and what did Jesus say? Matthew 16:16 Jesus disciples identified Jesus as the Christ, the son of the living God. Not as God. Colossians 1:15 Jesus is “the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. “ American Standard Version The Greek word used here, Prototokos, comes from the root words Proto, which means first or only, as in prototype; and Tokos, which means child birth. The supposed definition of “preeminent one” was not an original meaning of this word and was a later addition by those who support the trinity doctrine because they needed a different definition. 1 Timothy 2:5 says “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus”. This is very clear, Jesus is not God, but he is the mediator between us and God. God’s name in Hebrew was 4 consonants, YHWY. In Hebrew this would be a three syllable word as the first three consonants would each be followed by a vowel sound, and the last one would end the word. Yahweh is not the correct translation of Gods name as it is only two syllables. The English translation of that name is Jehovah, and it was translated to English in the 1500’s. The no J in Hebrew rationale holds not weight. That’s be like saying there’s no J in Chinese. Look at the name James. In a Spanish Bible, it’s Santiago. In Portuguese, it’s Tiago. In Chinese, there is no direct translation for the name, so someone would basically make a name up or use something that would closely resemble the name, but may not have the same meaning. But what if they were translating it from Portuguese instead of English? They would come up with something completely different. The no “a” in Hebrew argument doesn’t work either. Look all throughout the rest of any translation that didn’t pu an “a” in John 1:1. Are there any “a’s”. Yes, they’re all over the place. So, how could the translators of those Bibles know they needed an “a” in some verses, but be adamant that there can be no “a” in John 1:1? They can’t. It’s just a bad argument of someone who “needs” to stand on that verse as supposed support of their false doctrine. But, like Anton said, you can’t use just one scripture. What does the rest of the Bible say about Jesus, Jehovah, God’s Kingdom, etc.?
Don’t feel badly, it isn’t easy having conversations with JWs, they are brainwashed, not taught or instructed according to scriptures, into believing the lies their false religion aka cult wants them to believe. At least you tried.
He accuses Anton by saying Jehovah witness adds an "a" to the bible in "the word was a God" but Preston does the same thing and adds the word "triune" to the bible No where in the bible are the words triune, trinity, three persons or co-eternal mentioned Do a word search online, you will not find these words Ask Preston to show you where the word triune is in the bible, he preaches a false Christ
average joe That’s a false analogy. Those words aren’t found in the Bible but it doesn’t have to be because the teachings are in there. *Case in point:* “omnipotent, omnipresent, Sovereign etc” are words not doing in the Bible, yet they express the very character and nature of God. Likewise trinity is not found in the Bible but using a consistent method of exegesis, you will end up with the trinity, I might also add, _bible isn’t in the Bible._ It’s true, do a word search. The addition of the word “a” is different since now you are dealing with linguistics and what actually appears in the text.
@Daniel Rebecca Not sure where you got this opinion. I've watched a lot of Ravi and haven't ever heard him teach anything but the truth. If he's a false teacher, provide proof please, not baseless accusations.
I was born and raised in the Jehovah's witness organization. This man who was at this cart is pretty knowlegable however he wasn't answering your inquiries. They are trained to get around the questions. Omg. You were spot on.
@@jackhood3676 As Jehovah witnesses put it during their evening meetings when a vote is made to the congregation." I second that emotion" all of use guys go along even when you don't agree or have questions. Therefore, you do ignore the question or make excuses to the fact that even though you don't understand you just simply agree 💯. Because you well know you can't think for yourself and if u respond in non agreement, you will be marked. You know I'm right. If I'm not correct, I challenge you to try it and see how you fail as being different or for lack of a better word, apostate/independent Spirit instead of using Free Will! So in rebuttle to your statement, a profoundly Yes, they do avoid at all cost. And I believe he did know exactly what he was saying 😂. Speaking as a JW ex. You are trained, have you forgotten about the Reasoning from the scriptures book? Yeah, I thought so.
Wow, PRAISE GOD. I just found your page today and I love your messages and the example you are showing people. Also the way you explain how you approach these people and guide the convo, giving pointers to your viewers. That is extremely helpful and will help push people to talk about God without trying to convince others of your belief or getting frustrated with the convo. Planning those seeds and letting God do the rest. AMEN brother you truly are gifted. God sure is good

Isaiah 9:6 New World Translation (JW bible) For a child has been born to us, A son has been given to us; And the rulership will rest on his shoulder. His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, *Mighty God, Eternal Father,* Prince of Peace. (the very next chapter speaking of God) Isaiah 10:21 Only a remnant will return,The remnant of Jacob, to the *Mighty God.* God in Mighty God used for Jesus in Isaiah 9:6 is the same as God for Mighty God in Isaiah 10:21 (Hebrew)
I know another witness that says that Thomas was using an idiom. The problem with that is, they're trying to make an ancient Hebrew culture an western culture. They didn't use languages like we do. Different people, culture and time. We can't read the bible with an modern western mindset.
NaturallyMeMarie It is in light of John 1:18 where *no man has seen God at anytime.* Genesis 18 is the manifestation of the Son or else there is a contradiction in scripture in light of John’s claim. Another passage is Genesis 19:24 where we see a rare occurrence of the _two YHWH figures._
NaturallyMeMarie Witnesses that I’ve spoken to have stated that John 10’s claim of the oneness of God with Jesus is the same oneness of the disciples of Jesus. Of course I don’t believe that but it’s that kind of reasoning with John 10:30.
I love you Preston, u asked my man “ Where u going, where you got to go? Where you got to go? Brother u are hilarious. We know what this is. Blessings.
It’s interesting that whenever he is proven wrong and shown scriptures to disprove him he just says no I don’t believe it.. like when God calls Jesus God he just denies it and says no that’s not what he meant..
in my teenage years my mother got into the Jehovah witness religion. she used to make me go with her and I absolutely hated it . if you go to their weekly "reunions" you don't feel the spirit of god anywhere, its almost bleak. this whole experience as a teenager made me hate god for reason most of you all know. they are so blind and brainwashed . they try to renounce everything that the word of god teaches and separate themselves from the "world". they don't even call their congregation a church because to them everything is satanic. I've seen so many familys , people and in my experience childhoods be broken because of this religion. I thank god everyday he never stoped searching for me even when I was a non believer. Unfortunately my mother is still in the church, please pray for her. I pray for her everyday
This video explains that the jehovah's witnesses bible (new world translation of the holy scriptures) is satanic , Using their own literature. ruclips.net/video/xH5sy9Ck7jo/видео.html
Thats easy to say for a person that is going by feelings alone and hasnt done any research. A lot of what jw's do is directed by gods holy spirit. Ask for understanding and it will be given to you
Perry Preston!! You totally “ROCK” I absolutely LOVE the way you let SCRIPTURE drive your Truths! And you did this in LOVE w PATIENCE, ie SOME FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT!!! Keep on Preston, actually I’m gonna follow your stuff here on RUclips!!
Excellent presentation Preston. I did my undergrad at a Catholic Seminary (Jesuits) back in the seventies post Vatican II and our teachers (most had PhD degrees from accredited universities in STEM, religion, literature, etc...) would encourage us to discuss, search for the truth, to ask questions, etc.). They wanted to have us find our own answers i.e. the Seminary did not teach us "what to think" but "how to think", the answers were left to us to find out. A major problem discussing religious issues with the JW followers is that they use their own Bible which they claim is the "proper" translation ("God inspired", of course) to our Bible. It does not matter that their "Old Testament" does not follow the Jewish Tanakh on which all Christian bibles are based; it appears that "brother Russell" despite the fact that he did not know Koine Greek, Classical Latin, and Antique Hebrew, was the only one that actually knew what the Bible meant. Incidentally, his base Bible was an older King James translation available in the States at the time. He did not have access (or want to have access) to the originals sources available at the time. Most if not all of JW's belief system is based on Russell's and Rutherford's own interpretations of the available Bible of that era. I modern Catholic Seminaries, "Dogma thinking" is discouraged and accordingly, I truly appreciate your search for the truth in your discussion with this JW preacher. Ciao, L

What people don’t know is the name Jesus in Hebrew is Jeshua-or Joshua, or Jehoshua-means “Jehovah is salvation.” The Greeks transliterated that as Iesous, which in turn gave us the Latin form, Jesus. It’s clearly that Jehovah and Jesus are 2 separate individuals. Great job brother Antone for keeping your composure . You looked like a true Christian reasoning with the scriptures. I loved how Antone left him with a last scripture and a question to ponder over is John 17:26 I have made your NAME known to them and will make it known, how Jesus making gods Devine name known today ? Great way to end the conversation.
in my experience not for long ...they want to preach at you.....they do not want to hear what a JW has to say. I have had them approach me on 2 occasions, talk at me ,and as soon a I try to make a point in the conversation ,after listening to them for a solid8-10 mins. they decided to break off the conversation and retreat because i was breaking down whatever point they were trying to make as invalid. and as a rule these guys were not even half my age. So I don't approach them , if they come to me I will tell them I don't believe in race based theology…..period. that's the way they come across to me...
rawbrutaltruth I have experienced the same thing, it was like they wanted to speak against my perspective instead of seeing it a different way. It is hard for me to respect someone’s doctrine when they claim their right and everyone else is wrong
Beautiful how you approached them!! God Bless you brother!! ***(JESUS): I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
He meant unless you believe he is the messiah or God's messenger you will die in your sins. There's nothing in there that says unless you believe I am God you'll die in your sins.
I'm not a Jehovah's Witness but I have read the bible before and I have a question....Who did Jesus, as a Jew, worship? The reason I ask this is because from what I understand a Christian is suppose to follow Jesus' footsteps, in other words, they must imitate Christ. If Jesus worshiped Yahweh (Jehovah), shouldn't his followers do the same?
I’m a catholic myself and so the way I understand it is that the Jews formed a covenant or promise with God that a messiah would come and save them. Jesus, a practicing Jew, came forward and said that he is the messiah and the son of god and has come to fulfill that covenant. That’s pretty much the basis of Christianity. The jewish god and the Christian god are one in the same.
You have a very valid point. When Jesus was dying, he cried out to his father God. How could he cry out to himself? Its very clear that Jesus is God's son. I'd say you definitely need to pray to god for discernment and he will give you clarity❤
![Christian Talks to an Agnostic [Street Conversation]](/img/1.gif)
As a former JW, they would rather only speak to ppl who don't know the bible so they can use their narrative. When they find someone who knows the bible or has a strong disbelief in what they're saying they will attempt to end the conversation. Good job keeping them engaged.
That makes perfect sense - why engage in a discussion with someone who has no interest or desire toward the truth?
People tend to overlook the first and most obvious part of the preaching work - 'seeking those who are ripe for the harvest'
@@smalltimer4370 You are totally right on the money. People already made up their minds.
Not true at all mister
Not true u r a liar
That's why you didnt succeed in being a witness or baptized cuz you are clueless! Jehovah hates liars and false religion! Just cuz you say you were one of jehovahs witnesses doesn't mean you were and I say you never were cuz of your laziness and eagerness to learn the truth! Jehovah knows every person's heart! He knows why you have a hate for his people. I believe you want to blame them for your problems! Mad stop spreading false info.
I wanna be as knowledgeable as Preston, this man 🔥
Study with the witnesses you'll get better education and alot accuracy

@@rodneydangerfield5316 Hey bro. I saw your question along with the passages of scripture with it and I wanted to point out Galatians 3:24-24. The law is a mirror (tutor) to show us that we are not good (see Romans 3:10-12) and are in desperate need of the Savior Who perfectly fulfilled the law and offer(ed) us a better covenant the "finished work (see John 19:30)" His payment of His blood poured out for you and I undeserved, but for the sake of taking our place Jesus pleased the Father whenever He (Jesus) descended from Heaven still as God to humbly and willingly take on a body of flesh which had been established even before the foundation of the world (see Ephesians 1 & Hebrews 1-2).
My stepfather is JW and is forcing his religion upon my younger siblings, I’m a born again believer, I pray to receive the wisdom that I need to have a conversation like this. I know it’ll be intense but it needs to be done in order for my siblings to be allowed to come to a church service with my husband and I, I pray it’ll lead to their salvation.
Here's a quick list of issues surrounding Preston's proposed beliefs;
2:36 - _"I believe Jesus is the true and the living GOD"_ - *The Bible says:* Jesus declared His own GOD and Father; "the only" true GOD
3:38 - _"I believe Jesus is a person of GOD, that GOD is three persons"_ - *The Bible reveals:* There is no such GOD as one God in three identified anywhere in Bible history
4:08 - _"the Bible teaches - that there are three that bare record in heaven, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit"_ - *The Bible reveals:* this to be a known corruption of the Catholic Church, and has been rejected by most Bible translations today
16:28 - _"but about the Son he says, your throne O' God ..."_ - *The Bible reveals:* these are the words of the human Psalmist, whereas the son anointed to the throne is identified as having a GOD above Him(v9)
19:22 - _"why does Thomas call Jesus GOD"_ - *The Bible reveals:* Thomas identified Jesus as His Lord who was sent by GOD to save us - 1 Cor 8.6
30:50 - _"it means something completely different"_ - *The Bible reveals:* The title of the GOD in the opening statement is different than title given to the word that was GOD;
Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος καὶ ὁ λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν θεόν καὶ θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος
En archē ēn ho Logos kai ho Logos ēn pros ton Theon kai Theos ēn ho Logos
In beginning was the Word and the Word was with the God and the Word was GOD
ton Theon = the GOD
Theos = GOD, or a GOD
John 1.1 makes use of two different titles of GOD rather than attributing the same title to the word who was GOD
*PS.* all of these criticism were drawn from the WEB Bible translation, which would have nothing whatsoever to do with the JW translation(NWT)
As for salvation, it is not the religion that saves us, but our faith and belief in Jesus Christ who was sent by GOD to save us. And so, if a person puts faith in the ransom sacrifice of Jesus Christ, then you do not need to pray for them, as they are already saved.
I have a new world translation sitting right here.

@@mki_kitlofwhat does it mean?
I don’t see anything that says JWs are going to hell they live by the book except for a few different understandings what I have Learned from them is Jesus is savior and God is God sooo many things in the Bible that can be misinterpreted but the serious things are concrete.
DO NOT ALLOW THIS!
Im an Ex JW, the cult was birth from Satan, the founder was a nut job Free Mason. It will seek to control every aspect of your and your siblings' life, the damage that it does will take decades to undue. The scripture they teach are wrong, and it will keep you away from glorifying Jesus as Lord.
Do not listen to anyone telling you it is a harmeless religion, listen to Ex JWs, the damage is real.
I grew up between Jehovas witness, Catholics family all mixed. On top of that my dad is atheist. I’m so happy that God came threw, I’m now a Christian building that relationship with Christ and hopefully open one day open my dads eyes to God. #godisgood 🤍✝️
Congratulations - I too have found God through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ
True, capital G tho :). God
It’s hard to leave the religion you know, to go after a relationship that you don’t. Common battle. Praying for them.
I did it and yes it was hard but Jesus love conquered it all. I wanted more of him. I was raised a JW to.

And so the problem with the proposed argument, is that it falls short of pattern establish in the NT with respect to Jesus Christ and His God who sent Him - as it requires that we remove or Jesus' God and Father from the picture so-as to make Jesus into something He is not.

YES!!! I pray that for all of them. The lady was listening too.

He was understanding, the Holy Spirit opened his ears, and his heart, thank and praise GOD
1 Cor. 15:26-28 proves that Jesus is not God. In the end, it says that Jesus will give all power back to God so that God can rule over him forever and ever.
I grew up a Witness, and I can tell you, we were counting our time to be reported to the Watchtower society. I dreaded moments like this, when someone who really knew the Bible, would get into it with us. One time an elder from our congregation argued John 1:1 with a householder, even asserting that Greek scholars agreed with JW translation of "a god." The man replied, "No, that's not true, because I AM a Greek scholar."😂
So, you do not know the Bible?
And that elder was correct. Do you think all Greek scholars agree???

when Preston be like "with all due respect" he about to let you know! lol This was so good.
Bobsyouruncle Wilson I’m praying that you find God🙌🏻
With all due respect. Then cuts him off a number of times..... No respect!
So Preston lied
@Bobsyouruncle Wilson why do you say its a fairy tale book?
Have you studied the bible? Do you know archaeology back's up the bible?
Bobsyouruncle Wilson so do you believe in the scientific impossibility that nothing created everything? I’m sorry my friend but there’s no evidence for the Big Bang theory. Our evidence is in the Bible. There’s been plenty of evidence pop up just go look it up. I’ll try to convince you that God is real if you don’t mind. So say there’s a building or a painting, but it’s around 100 years old. Yk someone created those things even tho it’s been 100 years. Same thing with the earth. I understand that you have a belief but coming on here and shouting at people and telling them that their wrong with no evidence is crazy. And so what if he’s not real in the end? Ik that I’ve lived my life full of purpose to make my father in Heaven proud. If he’s not real it’s not like I’m gonna lose anything. But with the things God has done for me and my family is all evidence to show that he is real! I’m sorry my friend that you haven’t met God yet but I’ll pray that he’ll touch your heart and change you. Have a blessed day man🤍
@Bobsyouruncle Wilson have you heard of jericho in the bible. Well they know where it is and they have found the city.. The archeology backs up the bible. Have you heard of King hezekiah.? They found his construction and plans of a water system in Jerusalem. Again archeology backs up what the bible says. There are numerous historians who also back up the bible. Including flavus Josephus.
Preston has certainly studied to show himself approved (2 Timothy 2:15). My prayer is that the Lord will lead us to ALSO study to show ourselves approved.
She Is Favored not really most of his information was false, and I’m not even talking about just his theology. He has his history all wrong.
Preston appears to be a good man and applies Galatians 6:1 while discussing scriptures with Anton.
Just a shame his studies are flawed and inaccurate ....see my comments !
She Is Favored Amen sistah! I’m inspired.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
That is exactly what I was thinking as I watched this video. I'm so inspired by how well Preston knows the scripture and I've been stirred to go deeper in the study of the word.
The older man did look as if he was going to go home and do his own research. Thanks for sharing this powerful video.

@@rdalton7557 he believes in the Trinity and he believes Jesus is God Almighty but he is wrong
My mother is an evangelist. I remember as children she used to answer the door for Jehovahs witnesses and invite them in and get to work.
This was a bit cringe-worthy to watch, simply because I felt soooo uncomfortable for Anton. I think this highlights the importance of Apologetics, because how can you claim to believe something and label it as truth to the point where you are literally preaching it on street corners, but you're not able to back it up? Vaguely saying "many other translations do that" and then when you're pressed about it you can only mention one is really disturbing to me. And what's worse is that the Byington Translation IS published by JW. Every time dude says "I'll show you" he changes the subject. I don't think we should look at this as Christians and think "Man, Preston sure told him". This could have been anyone who is a Christian but does not know study the Word and does not know history. We should be digging into scripture and doing our own research to be ready for whoever comes to challenge our beliefs, be it JWs, Black Hebrew Israelites, Muslims, or Mormons.
mizzhaiti such a solid point. Always being ready to give a defense for the hope that is in us ❤️
I agree. There were so many points I thought the guy should just say, “I don’t know.” Dude was not ready and needed more research. I also kept thinking, this isn’t a “religion” argument but human nature by way of pride argument. He was defending his religion and what he believed instead of discovering truth. I felt he had a wall up protecting his pride but Preston tore down his opinions and false religion delicately. Lol!
Tracey Lane exactly!! I feel like if he was really searching for truth he would’ve been open and honest enough to say “I don’t have an answer for you right this minute but let me do some research and we can continue the conversation another time”. You’re so right that was a pure ego/pride reaction.
mizzhaiti Yes Byington is published by the Watchtower, but the Revised Standard, New Jerusalem Bible, The Revised English Bible, The New English Bible, The Common English Bible, An American Translation just to name a few are not published by the Watchtower and they have the same rendering or an alternative rendering of Hebrews 1:8 as the NWT. BOLD TV is not well versed to speak on some of the things he said because he said the NWT is the only bible in the world to have it the way we have it. That’s just naive for him to say.
Tracey Lane most of what the JW said was true unlike BOLD TV what he said was untrue.
This is the most midwestern goodbye ever.
“Let me leave you with this” -15 minutes later still talking 😂😂😂
Pittsburgh side of my family always calls it a Polish goodbye. They are all Polish so I am guessing not offensive? Lol! But, yeah. It is pretty much 20 minutes from the decision to end a conversation to actually moving on. Usually with two or three new conversations thrown in while the goodbye is taking place :-)
I pray that we each find ourselves here more defending the cause of Christ.
Preston!!! My heart is warmed by this. I need this courage. I realized recently I do not know how to share the WOG to those of other beliefs, especially if they were born and raised in it. So thank you for your boldness. I’m praying God helps me grow in that area because I want to.
A fine attitude. Make sure your teachings are based on the Bible, as opposed to manmade doctrine. Like the trinity.
@@777Tralfaz777 The Trinity is not manmade. It is from God. Arianism, or the belief that Jesus is Michael, is purely manmade and comes from "relying upon your own understanding." No one believed Jesus was Michael for over 1800 years.

Ttony777 Cpespective Pslams 83:18
@@954MrSayre 1. In Zechariah 12, JEHOVAH speaks (verses 1 and 4). In verse 10 JEHOVAH says: "They shall behold Me whom they pierced". This cannot but refer to Christ
(compare John 19:37 and Revelation 1: 7).
2. The JEHOVAH of the Old Testament declares Himself to be the First and the Last:
says YHWH, the King of Israel, his Redeemer, YHWH of the army: I am the First
and I am the Last, and besides me there is no God ”(Isaiah 44: 6 and see Isaiah 41: 4; 48: 11-12).
Who is declared to be "the First and the Last" on the pages of the New Testament
(see Revelation 1: 8, 11, 17, 18; 22:13)?
3. In Isaiah 6: 5 the prophet says: "For my eyes have seen the King, YHWH of the armies". Isaiah saw JEHOVAH! The apostle John refers to this same event
and makes it very clear that the Person who saw Isaiah was in fact Jesus Christ: “This is what Isaiah said
when he saw His [Christ] glory and spoke of Him [referring to in the context
Christ] ”- John 12:41.
4. In Psalm 23: 1, David stated that JEHOVAH is the Shepherd of the sheep. But according to the New Testament, who is the Shepherd of the sheep (John 10:11, 14; Hebrews 13:20)?
And the Old Testament repeatedly refers to JEHOVAH as Israel's ROCK (Deuteronomy 32: 3, 4, 18; Psalm 18: 2-3; Psalm 62: 2-3; etc.). But the New Testament identifies this ROCK as Christ (1 Corinthians 10: 4)!
5. In Exodus 3: 14-15 we learn that JEHOVAH is the great "I AM." But who is according to it
Gospel of John the Great "I AM" (see John 6:35; 8:12; 8:24; 8:58; 10: 9; 10:11;
11:25; 14: 6; 18: 5-6)?
6. In Isaiah 43: 10-11 and 45:21, JEHOVAH declares Himself as the ONLY SAVIOR. Outside
To him there is no Savior (= Savior or Savior) say the texts! But who is according to it
New Testament the ONLY SAVIOR (Acts 4: 10-12)?
7.
In Isaiah 45: 21-22, JEHOVAH says: "Turn to Me, be saved, ... for I am God and
no one else". But John 3: 14-16 tells us to look at the Crucified One
to be saved!
8. In Isaiah 45: 21-23, JEHOVAH says: "that before Me every knee shall bow, every tongue before Me
will swear ”. But in Philippians 2: 9-11, this passage from Isaiah is applied to Christ,
The one for whom "every knee shall bow from those that are in heaven, and those on earth, and those that are under earth"!
9. Isaiah 24:23 and Zephaniah 3: 15-17 teach that JEHOVAH Himself will rule in Jerusalem during the
coming in Peace and that He will be in the midst of His people. What does the New Testament say
us about the identity of this future King of the millennium (Revelation 19: 11-16;
20: 4, 6)?
10. In Isaiah 40: 3 we learn that John the Baptist had to prepare the way for the coming of JEHOVAH. In Mark 1: 1-3, the same passage is applied to Christ (John the Baptist
prepared the way for Christ).
11. In Isaiah 8: 13-14 it says that JEHOVAH “is a stumbling stone and a rock over which one is
stumbles ”. In 1 Peter 2: 7-8 these verses in Isaiah are applied to Jesus Christ.
12. Compare Joel 2:32 ("It shall come to pass that whosoever shall call upon the Name of YHWH shall be saved") with Acts 2:21, 36 and Romans 10: 9, 13. By which Name is
retained in the New Testament
1. EVERYTHING YOU SAY ABOUT GOD IN THE O.T. IS ALSO SAID ABOUT JESUS CHRIST IN THE N.T. Old Testament titles for God applied to Jesus Christ. The first text refers to Jehovah / Yahweh God, the second to Jesus Christ:

3. CHRIST WAS TO BE GOD BY HIS BIRTH: Matthew 1:23
Luke 1:17, 32, 76; 2:11.
4. JESUS ALLEGED TO BE A GOD AND HE ACCEPTED WORSHIP :

Luke 24:52;
John 9:38; 10: 30-33; 5:18, 23; 8: 56-59; 9:38; 20:28.
5. The NT WRITERS SAID THAT JESUS CHRIST IS GOD: John 1: 1; Acts 20:28; 10:36;
Philippians 2: 6
Colossians 1:15; 2: 9
1 Timothy 3:16; 6: 14-16;
Hebrews 1: 3;
Titus 2:13;
1 John 3:16.
6. EVERY MAN AND ANGEL WILL WORSHIP JESUS CHRIST: Philippians 2: 9-11;
Hebrews 1: 8-9.
If Jesus were not God, He could not receive worship (Exodus 20: 3-5).
7. The blind man called Him God (John 9:35-38).
Thomas called Him God (John 20:28).
Peter called Him God (Acts 10:34-36).
Paul called Him God (Acts 20:28; phillipians 2:5-6; 1 Timothy 3:16; Titus 2:13).
The Father called Jesus God (Hebrew 1:8-10). Hebrew 1:8-9 is quoted from Psalm 45, and in Psalm 45 it is self-evident that God the Father, Jehovah / Yahweh God, is lord of the Son. The Father calls the Son God, and the Son calls the Father God. This is the mystery of the Trinity. Although we cannot fully understand the Trinity, we believe it is the doctrine of Scripture
Jesus is Lord and Savior
Praise God.i love this man of God.
God is not a 3 headed monster. Clue is calling him Father . Too much psychobabble by this so called "christian" , Jehovahs witnesses arent flawless by any means but they are right here.
Funny thing is that John 1 : 1 was translated like that because there wasn't a suitable way to properly translate it. In fact, the "... the Word was a God" translation is deemed more accurate than ".. the Word was God", but the consensus is that the best/closest translation is " ... and the Word was divine." That's why its useless to have these religious conversation because, unless you speak those original languages, none of us really know what was really said or meant.
In all of my dealings with JWs, they have been incredibly kind and respectful. Very gracious and loving with all of my questions! Unfortunately, they tend to “run out of time” right when the questions and conversation starts getting good… wonder why that could be 🙃
That is why comment sections such as these can be so valuable.
That said, please post your questions and concerns that they might be addressed from GOD's written truth.
Matthew 7:15 "Be on the watch for the false prophets who come to you in sheep’s covering, but inside they are ravenous wolves."
Bible truth vs JWs "truth"? "Jehovah's Witnesses, in their eagerness for Jesus' second coming, *have suggested dates that turned out to be incorrect."* Awake 1993 Mar 22 page4
*Jehovah’s Witnesses have had wrong expectations about when the end would come.* Jan 1, 2013 Watchtower
"Does this admission of making mistakes stamp them [Jehovah's Witnesses] as false prophets? Not at all, for false prophets do not admit to making mistakes." Watchtower, Nov. 1, 1972, page 644 - in brackets added (any scriptures for this "admitting to mistakes" means no they aren't false teachings, false prophecies?)
Admitting to making false prophecies doesn't magically change them, they are still Bible defined false prophecies (Deut 18:20-22) Very poor reasoning, probably why JWs "suggested dates" and went beyond scripture.
"suggested dates, wrong expectations" in God's name? yes, these ARE false prophecies from the Jehovah Witness Organization.
God's channel of communications, his voice on earth, God's mouthpiece, JWs? Nope, just a false religion!
That's because if they can't convince you of their belief, they see no point in trying to talk to you. Also they're made to believe that if witness listen to others' explanations, they are putting themselves in danger bc they might start to doubt. And most of them avoid listening to anything that will make them question their beliefs 😢
i love you😘
@@SalvarezP : Not a rational comment if I may say so.
Many JWs were ONCE part of the churches. What can any church member tell a JW that he or she wouldn't already be familiar with?
Remember the TRUTH set them free from those beliefs.
So this is a genuine question:
Doesn’t it say in the Bible that Jesus is the one and only way to salvation. If He’s the one and only way, wouldn’t that indicate He is equal to/is God?
How do they argue that?
Many people are not aware of this, but the Bible teaches the following;
Jesus is the way - to the Father
Jesus is the truth - of the Father
Jesus is the life - of the Father
Sara Shaddle John 10 ; 30I and my Father are one. This is why the Jew seek to kill Jesus many times because of his claims. They were placing the blame of blasphemy upon him. John 10; 33The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
Sara Michael, who became Jesus on earth, was the first angel created by Jehovah (Proverb 8:22) No one in the world is equal to Jehovah God. Visit jw.org Humanity's only salvation. Wise up!
John Colage Do that scripture say anything about Michael the arc angel?
@@williemorgan6285 The prefix "arch" meaning "chief" or "principal," implies that there is only one archangel, the chief angel; in the Scriptures, "archangel" is never found in the plural. First Thessalonians 4:16, in speaking of the preeminence of the archangel and the authority of his office, does so in reference to the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ: "The Lord himself will descent from heaven with a commanding call, with an archangel's voice and with God's trumpet, and those who are dead in union with Christ will rise first." It is, therefore, not without significance that the only name directly associated with the word "archangel" is Michael.---Jude 9.

Go Gma! Go Gma!
Yea that's the thing they have their own bible that sounds the same but is slightly different. Need to pull out your own to fight them with the Word
We have our own bible, yes. But it's not different from any other bible for the most part. Mostly the New World Translation restores Jehovah's name to its proper position. Everywhere in the King James Version where LORD ( capital ) has been changed.
Example: Psalm 110: The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. King James Version
Notice how the different spelling ? LORD and Lord ?
Now compare it to our bible, the New World Translation: Jehovah declared to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand Until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet.”
So the original was changed from Jehovah to LORD.
Here is another change - 1 John 5:7 "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."
Our bible, and all other bibles, except King James, " there are three witness bearers:8 the spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement."
Obviously inserted to promote the trinity lie.
First time watching this and listening to Perry, and i just wanted to say, the respect shown here by two brothers having this kind of debate said spoke volumes of how to conduct ourselves. We don't have to get all angry and rude when we talk about God. (We're all, if not most, searching for the truth) Preston I believe you lived out Jesus in the way you handled yourself...

Lian Pi True, but why didn't you support it with Scriptures? (Rev. 1:5; 3:14) We have to be baptized in the same congregation [religion] as Christ Jesus to receive the free gift of eternal life.
To stat with Jesus Christ is to stay with those whom he pleased to use. Outside the true Christian congregation, what alternative organization is there? Only Satan's organization consisting of his "wild beast" and his Babylonian world empire of false religion.---Rev. 13:1, 14, 15; 17:3-6.
@[ Timothy ] The Bible clearly shows that God does not disregard people who lived without knowledge of his requirements. Acts 17:30 assures us: "God has overlooked the times of such ignorance." What hope, then, does the Bible hold out for those who died without having an opportunity to learn about God?
Was Jesus promising that the man would enter into heaven? No. The man had not been "born again" from water and spirit, which was the prerequisite for entering the Kingdom of the heavens. Being a Jew, the man was likely familiar with the earthly paradise---the garden of Eden---described in the first book of the Bible. (Gen 2:8) Jesus' promise gave him the assured hope of a resurrection to paradise when it is reestablished on earth. Get out of false religion (Rev. 18:4) Visit jw.org. Humanity's only salvation.

@@simonrgalesg Im saying.. at first i was following good. Then the little snippet that Preston talks about the others that are leaving and Why they are leaving.. ("the trainees") was unnecessary. Bcuz that MAY not be a fact... but a presumption, and an audience may take it as fact. For example, I watch this and then approach Jehvh Witnss about their structure of high ranking & "lower tier witnesses"... and they dismiss it & prove to me that this is inaccurate information. Now that hurts Preston's credibility with me(IF, ..he's tryn to save lost souls). Just give us the meat 100%. No fillers.

When he said “With all due respect you didn’t answer the question”, Then points to the other guy and said “Maybe you can answer it for me” 🤣😂
He did answer him, begotten literally means created. It flew over both of their heads
@@luismozotorres7428 Actually begotton comea from the greek word monogenes which means pertaining to only one of its kind within a specific relationship.Isaac is called Abraham's only begotten son,however he had Abraham also had Ishmael.Its more to do with a speciap kind of relationship,than about being created.
@marmackk
Actually, the Greek word monogenes comes from the two root words 1) mono, meaning one or only, as in monopoly, monocular, mononucleosis, etc. and 2) genes, which I bet you can figure out, means to father or to bring forth; think of genetics.
Therefore, monogenes literally means only-begotten, or the only one directly fathered by or created by.
Proverbs 8:22-30 tells us that God (Jehovah) created Jesus as the beginning of His way, before anything else. Verse 30 shows that Jesus then worked alongside God as a master worker, helping create everything else.
1 Corinthians 8:6 explains “there is actually to us one God, from whom all things are and we for Him; and there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are and we through him.”
Life comes from Jehovah God, and through Jesus, he created everything else. Since Jesus was the only being directly created by God, he is the firstborn and only-begotten.
This is why we are to pray and fast, so we can walk in the power of the holy Spirit amen

You mean how Preston would interrupt and cut Anton off? He wouldn’t let Anton make a point or reason on the scriptures without interrupting. I guess that’s how Preston feels it went well, cause he got to say what he wanted and thinks he ‘won’ the discussion or argument (for lack of a better word), but if you don’t allow the other side to actually prevent their case, you didn’t actually debate and have any legit discussion.

You did a really good job...wish someone had preached the true gospel when I was a JW for 32 years...today I am a Christian who has submitted to Christ and accepted Him as my Lord and Savior...God incarnate and second person of the Godhead...I’m still learning and undoing all the false JW doctrine...your videos have helped quite a bit along with others ...thank you😊
JW theology aside, our dedication should be to the teachings and commandments of GOD's written word, rather than those of men - for example;
Nowhere in scripture do we find the words; _'God incarnate'_ or _'second part of the Godhead',_ leaving those adhering to such things, to contend with fabrications rather than the written truth of GOD.
As for the author's arguments, here a few points for consideration;
2:36 - _"I believe Jesus is the true and the living God"_
*The Bible says:* Jesus declared His own God and Father; "the only" true God
3:38 - _"I believe Jesus is a person of God, that God is three persons"_
*The Bible reveals:* There is no such God as, one God in three persons identified anywhere in scripture
4:08 - _"the Bible teaches - that there are three that bare record in heaven, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit"_
*The Bible reveals:* Is a known corruption of the Catholic Church, and has been rejected by most Bible translations
today
16:28 - _"but about the Son he says, your throne O' God ..."_
*The Bible reveals:* This is the human Psalmist speaking, whereas the Son of the God anointed to the throne, has a God above Him in verse 9
19:22 - _"why does Thomas call Jesus God"_
*The Bible reveals:* Thomas identified Jesus as His Lord sent by His God to save us - 1 Cor 8.6
30:50 - _"it means something completely different"_
*The Bible reveals:* The title of the God in the opening statement is different than title given to the word that was God;
Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος καὶ ὁ λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν θεόν καὶ θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος
En archē ēn ho Logos kai ho Logos ēn pros ton Theon kai Theos ēn ho Logos
In beginning was the Word and the Word was with the God and the Word was God
ton Theon = the God
Theos = God, or a God
As John 1.1, reveals two titles than one in the same, we find word that was God in the beginning, is not merely a substitute for Jesus, but moreso, a personification of GOD's spoken commandment made-alive in the Son.
Good! JWs are false!

Acts 4:10-12 shows that, after the cross, Jesus is the Name by which men must saved (sozo in the Greek). Even the murderous NWT perversion couldn't butcher this Scripture enough to disprove this *FACT* .
Acts 4:10-12 (NWT) 10 "...let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that in the name of Jesus Christ the Naz·a·reneʹ, whom you executed on a stake but whom God raised up from the dead, by means of him this man stands here healthy in front of you. 11 This (Jesus by context) is ‘the stone that was treated by you builders as of no account that has become the chief cornerstone.’ 12 Furthermore, there is no salvation in anyone else, for there is no other name (Jesus, see v. 10) under heaven that has been given among men by which we must get saved.”
"no other name" - Either Yaweh is the Name by which men must be saved (Joel), or Yeshua (Salvation from Hebrew, Jesus from Greek) is the Name by which men must be saved (Peter), or *GOD IS JESUS IN THE FLESH (IMMANUEL)* QED - Enough said.

The words 'GOD incarnate', are nowhere written in scripture, and no amount of word manipulation can change that.
That said and when it comes to GOD's written truth, we either accept or reject it - whereas false gods and doctrines will always rest on made-up terms and definitions.
Those who aspire to the truth take no issue with the written truth in scripture - whereas the notion that made-up words and definitions justify a god that is nowhere; worshiped, taught or preached in Bible history proves to be nothing but hogwash.
Did Jesus worship a triune god?
Did He ever preach of such a god?
Did He teach of such a god in His ministry?
Has such a god ever been declared in scripture?
Who are we following again?
When did Jesus instruct us to follow degenerate men?
True followers of Christ are distinguished by their dedication and commitment to the teachings of Jesus Christ. And they do so, by worshiping, teaching and preaching just as Jesus did on earth - that is to say, the true worship and doctrine of godliness established by our Lord Jesus Christ.
Whereas those calling themselves Christian, and who are teaching, preaching and worshiping a god unlike the GOD of Jesus Christ, prove to be nothing more than Apostates of the one they claim to follow;

True followers of Christ will follow in Jesus' footsteps. And we all know without a doubt that Jesus did not worship, teach or preach of a triune god at any point in His ministry.
As for the word of GOD becoming flesh, it is obvious that the flesh would not be equal to, or GOD Himself, as the flesh was in subjection to GOD, and where Jesus destinguished Himself from GOD - see; 'believe in me, believe also in GOD'
That is why, Jesus was in subjection to GOD, and in contrast with GOD, who is in subjection to no one. And where we read, that the flesh was made lower than the angels. Or that no one had seen GOD.
GOD incarnate = human fabrication
Fully man and fully god = human fabrication
GOD the Son = human fabrication
GOD the Holy Spirit = human fabrication
Triune god = human fabrication
One god in three persons = human fabrication
Therefore and as a follower of Christ, my advice is to run - run from Satan's lies and false teachings in-favor of the truth. Stop lending yourself to Satan's will by taking part in the proliferation of lies, in honor of Jesus' teachings and commandments - the time to act is now!

From watching this it sounds more like Preston is already thinking next about what he is going to say, while not fully listening to what they are saying, BECAUSE he knows that what they are teaching is false!! Its not always easy to listen when you know someone is wrong, and it's not always easy for there to be a conclusion when the other party is fully brain washed into thinking they are right... so it is so important to be lead by the Spirit of God here!!

What would you tell JW when you reach out. I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses. Please share.
Why is the doctrine of the Trinity or the Triune God unbiblical and comes from pagan Triads? Neither Jesus Himself nor His disciples ever recognized Jesus as Almighty God. Jesus himself prayed to his God as he said. If it were Him, what sense would such a prayer make? Going to the Father, he told his disciples to go into all the world and teach what he taught them. And since he never mentioned that he is God only His Son, who always does what pleases the Father, who, after so many centuries, suddenly teaches something different? Moreover, the very concept of the Trinity is illogical and restrictive of God. Because if God is Almighty, how can He be limited to 3 people? After all, he can turn out to be anyone he wants. I will be Who I will be, he told Moses. And the arguments of this Pastor that I listened to are so self-contradictory that they only confirm, unfortunately, the falsity of the teaching that has penetrated from paganism to Christianity and is trying to be explained somehow logically. Jesus, in his prayer to the Father, clearly emphasizes that there is only One true God, the Father, and he did not include himself in this when he said, "So that they may know You," the One True God. John 17:3 Why do so many people today, who are establishing their churches, subvert the teachings and secretly record it and boast about things that they should be ashamed of as Christians? Jesus announced that after His departure, people would come who would preach perverse doctrines. And this is actually happening.
And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

The more I’ve talked to JW’S the more I come to realize that only by the power of YHVH can they be reached. Well crafted arguments alone can’t do it. I told one recently that without The Indwelling of The Holy Spirit they can’t be saved, they don’t belong to Him, and they can’t enter into The Kingdom. He told me that he’s not entitled or eligible to receive The Holy Spirit. So when I showed him the verse and had him read it he clumsily explained it away. To him it was more about protecting the watchtower teaching and not losing the argument than it was about where he stood with YHVH and what His Word says. Over the years the watchtower has been more effective at hiding their past doctrinal errors from its members, and coming up with ways to defend them. They’re under the spell of the power of darkness and only YHVH can set them free.

@Jesus Christ is Lord
That’s true, but what was Jesus gospel? Knowing that would be the basis to determine who is teaching the same thing Jesus taught and who is teaching another gospel.
Here is main part of Jesus gospel:
Matthew 6:9-10 in the model prayer, Jesus first told us to pray for the sanctification of God’s name, Jehovah. Next, for God’s Kingdom to come and His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven.
At John 17:26 in a prayer to his Heavenly Father, Jesus said I have made your name know to them and will make it known. Again, he emphasized the importance of God’s name, but he didn’t say “I have made our name known to them”, he said “I have made YOUR name known”.
Evidence that Jesus taught about the coming of God’s kingdom is the 24th chapter of Matthew. Jesus disciples ask about the sign of his presence, so it will not be a physical return where everyone will see, but one that will require some discernment.
Next, Jesus lays out the composite sign and then in verses 36-39 he says concerning that day and hour, nobody knows, not the angels in heaven, nor the son, but only the Father. This also shows Jesus is not God or a part of a trinity because he does not have the same knowledge that God has.
Also, he continues to say that the end of this system of things will be like Noah’s day before the flood. People will just be living life and not caring or paying attention until it is too late.
Who are teaching the same gospel that Jesus taught about God’s Kingdom and about the sanctification of God’s name, Jehovah? Only Jehovah’s Witnesses. Everyone else is preaching a different gospel.
Woow bro! I'm learning so much on how to defend our Faith through this new ministry of yours bro! It's truly setting a fire in me, to start urban apologetic in my home city Orlando!

We must always be equipped and ready to share and defend our faith, by studying these cults that has so many people lost today. I would love to see you speak with the black Israelites. They are a huge cult moving through our streets in Orlando nowadays, and I'm feeling the urging to talk to them; one in particular is my neighbor. She's made several attempts to convert me.

Amen and as much as I Ioved this video because whatever Spirit in Him is being rebuked by the true Word of God, I wonder whether this is useful at all. They do this all fat and know their bible, the issue is not ignorance of the gospel or of true doctrine but rejecting it. I think it's a matter of heart because these things are spiritually discerned and the Holy Spirit is our teacher so anyone who doesn't have the right heart or in sin is blinded... In the end,.is it not fruitless debate? We learned from it but did they? They have bad thèse conversations before and rejected the truth just the same... Best pray for them IMHO We wrestle not against flesh and blood

"no other name" - Either Yaweh is the Name by which men must be saved (Joel), or Yeshua (Salvation from Hebrew, Jesus from Greek) is the Name by which men must be saved (Peter), or *GOD IS JESUS IN THE FLESH (IMMANUEL)* QED - Enough said.
@Chris Needs
I noticed you copied and pasted this comment as responses to a lot of comments. I’ve already countered this several times, so I’ll briefly point out here that the verse you quoted refutes your claim.
Did you not notice where it says that God resurrected Jesus from the dead? You still try to claim Jesus is God and completely ignore that part of the verse.
Also, Jesus is not worshipped, but shown the respect he is due for what he did for mankind as well as for his position as second only to God.

Thing of it is, the JW's believe Jesus is also Lord - though not THE LORD, as-in; YHWH Himself.
With that said, the title of Lord is not limited to YHWH in the Bible, though it is often used to identify YHWH in modern day Bible's.

@Lami Olatunji
JW beliefs follow the Bible. Most Christian religions follow traditions started by the Catholic Church which were influenced by philosophies, governments and false religion.
One must examine what the Bible says to determine the truth. Even doing a little secular research would prove the trinity was not a teaching of the first century Christians and came about hundreds of years later.
Twisting meanings of Greek words to support a false belief is not teaching truth.
Prototokos comes from the root words Proto, meaning first or only, and Tokos, which means to give birth to.
Toko- (prefix): Stemming from the Greek word "tokos" meaning childbirth, we have toc-, toco-, tok-, and toko- as combining forms, all referring to labor or childbirth.
So, Proto, first or only, as in prototype and tokos, to give birth to, means literally firstborn, not preeminent one as Preston tries to say. That definition was added to try amd support the false trinity doctrine, but is not what the meaning has been known to be for centuries.
That poor guy is like an intimidated robot. He needs Jesus.

Here's a quick list of issues surrounding Preston's proposed beliefs;
2:36 - _"I believe Jesus is the true and the living GOD"_ - *The Bible says:* Jesus declared His own GOD and Father; "the only" true GOD
3:38 - _"I believe Jesus is a person of GOD, that GOD is three persons"_ - *The Bible reveals:* There is no such GOD as one God in three identified anywhere in Bible history
4:08 - _"the Bible teaches - that there are three that bare record in heaven, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit"_ - *The Bible reveals:* this to be a known corruption of the Catholic Church, and has been rejected by most Bible translations today
16:28 - _"but about the Son he says, your throne O' God ..."_ - *The Bible reveals:* these are the words of the human Psalmist, whereas the son anointed to the throne is identified as having a GOD above Him(v9)
19:22 - _"why does Thomas call Jesus GOD"_ - *The Bible reveals:* Thomas identified Jesus as His Lord who was sent by GOD to save us - 1 Cor 8.6
30:50 - _"it means something completely different"_ - *The Bible reveals:* The title of the GOD in the opening statement is different than title given to the word that was GOD;
Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος καὶ ὁ λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν θεόν καὶ θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος
En archē ēn ho Logos kai ho Logos ēn pros ton Theon kai Theos ēn ho Logos
In beginning was the Word and the Word was with the God and the Word was GOD
ton Theon = the GOD
Theos = GOD, or a GOD
John 1.1 makes use of two different titles of GOD rather than attributing the same title to the word who was GOD
@@SmalltimR He already explained God the father isn’t Jesus, 1 God 3 persons all distinct from one another but are all God
God says let us make man in OUR image, implying plurality. Not to mention a lot of other scripture verifying plurality.
1 john 5:7
ὅτι εἰσιν τρεῖς μαρτυροῦντες ἐν οὐρανῷ ὁ πατήρ ὁ λόγος καὶ τὸ ἅγιον Πνεῦμα καὶ οὗτοι τρεῖς εἰσιν ἕν
It isn’t corruption by the Catholic Church, if so prove it, I need sources and links please friend.
Jesus praying to the father or worshipping the father, or praise if the father etc,does not imply the father is above him, they are one.
Jesus was sent by the father, Correct, doesnt denote Jesus being the Logos, you should know what the logos is, it’s at the bottom of your comment in the Greek
@@sagepope6985
*RE:* 1 God 3 persons all distinct from one another but are all God
*A* ...Is nowhere written in scripture and therefore a fabrication and a lie - don't you see that?
In addition to this, who claimed GOD the Father was Jesus?
From what statement or argument have you concluded this was up for debate?
*RE:* Not to mention a lot of other scripture verifying plurality
*A.* Here again, who argued against a plurality?
Are you under the impression that most people do not accept that Jesus and His Father existed, or that this would constitute a plurality?
And finally, your claim that 1 John 5.7 isn't a corruption by the Catholic Church counts for nothing whatsoever - as it is obvious that there are enough Bible translators and Scholars to conclude that every single Bible translation other than the KJV and its variants, would remove the rendering from their Bibles - do you realize how many Bibles that actually is?
Needless to say, there are literally years upon years of documented arguments on this topic, and it is highly unlikely that your claim to the Catholic Church will prove anything against the mountains of evidence gathered toward this topic. Let alone, convince me that a Church that has proven to be so dirty and so vile, and who would even take precedent over Jesus Himself, would ever count for anything other than the devil himself is beyond me.
As for Jesus praying and calling His Father His GOD and whom He worshiped - the answer is a resounding yes, of course, His Father is above Him - I mean seriously, how silly can you be, Jesus Himself said it, the Father is greater than I, and greater than all - the only true GOD, etc, etc, etc.
*[They are one]*
Yes, as it turns out Jesus and His GOD and Father are indeed one!
As are we - John 17.20-26
And if there's one thing we know, it's that we are not equal-to or GOD ourselves as a result - here again, revealing the desperation and terribly reasoning used to argue a god that is nowhere worshiped, declared, taught or preached anywhere in scripture.
And finally, and with regard to your closing statement, here again, as you demonstrated over and over again, who argued that Jesus was not the logos? Why even bring it up?
Whatever the case, these are terrible arguments, based on terrible reasoning, most of which doesn't even make any sense, and yet, here you are, arguing in-favor of a god that is nothing like the GOD of Jesus Christ and who worshiped in truth, and all because a group of degenerate said so - not Jesus, or any of GOD's approved writers, but very very clearly, because one corrupt and soiled religious organization told you so - see
And that my friend is the state of Christendom today - people going around and claiming to be followers of Christ, and who are not following in Jesus' footsteps at all. And when asked why they are worshiping, teaching and preaching a god that is completely unlike the GOD of our Lord Jesus Christ, the point to a Church with a history and past as evil as the devil himself...
@@smalltimer4370 Just because it doesn’t specifically say there is one God three persons, its evidently implied to be so, from the plurality of God(gen 1:26), to Jesus being the image of THEE invisible GOD(col 1:15), to GOD literally saying he Brought the Church with his OWN BLOOD(God the father is spirit, Jesus is who purchased the church with his blood)(acts 20:28), to Colossians 1:16 literally saying ALL THINGS were created by Jesus and for Jesus. To Isaiah 44:24 “I am the LORD that makers ALL THINGS;that stretcheth forth the heavens ALONE; that spreadeth abroad the earth by MYSELF” which is God the father speaking so who made everything? GOD or Jesus, 1 God, three distinct persons.
By you being confused on the notion that Jesus is God and the father is God and the Holy Spirit is God.
Your arguing against plurality by denying the fact Jesus and the Holy Spirit are both God aswell.
No it isn’t about if they existed or not, it’s about they are 1 being hence why God said let us make man in OUR image and not MY image
And again I say, the burden of proof is on you, you need to prove the corruption of the text with links and sources, I gave you the literal translation from manuscript, and you say it’s corrupted, and I go off the KJV so it means little.
Yet you provided none? I don’t like Catholicism, Jehovah witness, SDA, Mormonism, even modern day Christianity, I actually don’t like any religion, division is all it causes, and all based off their own beliefs then use scripture to back up said belief. You still have yet to provide a SINGLE source. And I already know the corruption of the Catholic Church, that does not mean the KJV is corrupted we can even go back to the 1611 KJV the first ever translation, first published etc it literally says the same thing. Your right Catholicism is Demonic, but let God be true and every man a liar, AS IT IS WRITTEN Roman’s 3:4.
No that does not imply God the father is above him, because they are One being, i and the father are one, Jesus is the interceder, hence why he showed us how to pray and needed the father and Holy Spirit to complete his task on earth, there’s rules that Jesus had to follow because he came to fulfill the law. He said the father is greater than I because Jesus was bound by flesh during his time on earth, Jesus is literally God, not the father, but he is God.
John 17:20-26 is talking about the body of Christ, we are all members of the body of Christ 1 cor 12:12-27 I have more scriptures in my journal but idk where it is atm.
I agree we are not equal to God we were created by him ofc. But Jesus isn’t just some person, or a seperate deity like a lot of religions teach, I don’t preach or teach seperate deities, just like we have a body, a soul and spirit but we are one being, hence why he said in OUR Image, 1 being 3 distinct persons and all three persons are described as God these are the three truths I base my theology and beliefs on because IT IS WRITTEN.
Because God is the logos, and by saying Jesus isn’t God you deny the fact Jesus being the Logos because God himself is the Logos AS IT IS WRITTEN if you want to refer back to Isaiah.
Not terrible arguments when your rebuttals hold no stable foundation, Of course you can’t fully Comprehend God completely, but I gave you the best explanation I can, just like we have a body, soul and spirit 3 distinct persons but 1 being, God is similar. I’ve seen examples explaining it better but you’ll need to do your own research, even in speech you can see the distinction between each person of yourself speaking whether it’s the spirit soul or body. It’s hard to explain.
Now your Bashing someone who follows Christ? Jesus is completely like God the father, they are of one nature, one being. Believing there is not One God but three seperate gods is polytheism, believing there is only one God and the three persons are distinct from one another is Arianism and or believing there is only one God but the three persons are described as God(not distinct) is Modalism hence why there is 3 truths.
There is only ONE God
Three persons are described as God
The three are distinct from each other (ie the father is not the son vise versa neither is the Holy Spirit the father and vise versa).
@@sagepope6985
The notion that anyone should ignore the explicit teachings of scripture to worship a god that is nowhere declared, worshiped or preached in all of Bible history is in-itself sheer insanity...
Likewise, the notion that true followers of Christ would be compelled to abandon the example set by Jesus on earth, and to worship a god that is nowhere declared, taught or worshiped anywhere in scripture, is in itself insane.
And least but not last, the notion that anyone other than the antichrist could ever take-up such a position, is in-itself, insane.
And so to your less than stellar attempts at presenting your manmade god and doctrine, I would simply add that there is absolutely no chance in hell that a true follower of Christ would ever stop following Jesus' for such an obvious corruption of the truth.
And finally, the fact that you have shown no interest whatsoever in the established truth, or the fact that you are worshiping a god that is completely unlike the GOD of Jesus Christ, as well as following a doctrine other than the doctrine of godliness, says it all;
_sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth_ - John 17.17
_...he opened their minds, that they might understand the Scriptures_ - Luke 24.45
_...after my departure, vicious wolves will enter in among you ...from among your own selves, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them_ - Acts 20.29-30
_...they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but, having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts_ - 2 Tim 4.3
_...test the spirits to see whether they are from God. For many false prophets have gone out into the world_ - 1 John 4.1
_'I thank you, O Father ...that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to little children...'_ - Luke 10.21
_...false prophets ...false teachers... destructive heresies ...the truth will be maligned... with deceptive words..._ - 2 Peter 1.1-3
_let no one deceive you in any way. For it will not be, unless the departure comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of destruction, 4he who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called god or that is worshiped; so that he sits as god in the temple of GOD, setting himself up as god_ - 2 Thes 2.2-4
_because of this, God sends them a working of error, that they should believe a lie; 12that they all might be judged who didn't believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness_ - 2 Thes 2.11
Therefore and with that being said, if and when you finally decide to follow in Jesus' footsteps, and to tell Satan and his followers where to go with their obvious false god and doctrine, please come back and tell me, as I have much to share on the written truth GOD in accordance with His written word.
John 10:30

@Vonroe
Preston is not saturated with the scriptures, he uses the same bad arguments that everyone who tries to support the false trinity doctrine uses. They try so hard to stand on John 1:1 and claim there was no “a” in Greek, but read throughout the gospel in any of those Bibles and you will see they use “a” many times. How can they argue not to use it at John 1:1 because there was no “a” in Greek but use the “a” other places. Just shows they’re deceitful and this is not a valid argument.
Don’t stand on one verse for you entire beliefs. What does the rest of the Bible say about who God is?
Isaiah 42:8 “I am Jehovah, that is my name; and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise unto graven images”. (ASV)
Deuteronomy 4:35 “Unto thee it was showed, that thou mightest know that Jehovah he is God; there is none else besides him.“ (ASV)
The Jews had one God. His name is Jehovah. Jesus was a Jew and worshipped Jehovah.
Psalms 83:18 “ 18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is Jehovah, art the most high over all the earth.” (KJV)
Ephesians 1:3 talks about the God and Father of our lord Jesus Christ. Yes, Jesus has a God.

Verse 16 which you mentioned is therefore referring to all other things which were created by means of Jesus when he was in his prehuman spirit form in the beginning. Of course this is with the exception of Jehovah God himself who wasn't ever created.
"Y'all dress really nice!"
Guard down.
Wow your probably one of the dumbest people here sorry for you
Jesus in Hebrew is Yeshua and it means: "Jehovah is Salvation", so when you say the name of Jesus, you are giving praise to his father, Jehovah. There is no way around it.
It’s actually “Yashua”, not yeshua. That’s what is written in the original texts.
Yashua means Yaweh is salvation.
Yashua is a transliteration.
@@andriod090 it depends if your speaking hebrew or aramic the greeks translated has iesus then jesus when english came around
You don't speak Hebrew and it does not mean that. You should get a real Bible that wasn't produced by the cults.

JW sidekicks are generally quiet because they are more ignorant then the one talking. Good ones jump in to help out. But secretly they like to see each other get grilled.
I was rolling when he said that! Haaa!
If one was to record a conversation against another's consent and repeatedly interrupt that person because he (Preston) knows that he is secretly recording; how then is he obeying Jesus when Jesus says "All things.. you want men to do to you, you also must do to them"? Here is how the Bible proves that Jesus is not God:
1) Jesus worshiped God and says that his God is the Father in John 20:17. So how can God have a God? That of course isn't logical, God does not have a God but here Jesus says plainly that his God is his Father. Jesus also says he has brothers and we know God does not have brothers.
2) Jesus teaches that his God created him. In John 6:57 his says that the reason he is alive is because of his Father, "I live because of the Father". Couple this with that fact that he is "begotten" of his God (John 3:16) means plainly that at one point he was non existent until God Begot him just like at one point we all were non existent till our parents begot us, also (Col 1:15).
3) God's name Jehovah identifies the person who is the "ONLY true God" (John 17:3). If you simply put God's personal name Jehovah back in the scriptures where God himself had it inscribed by his prophets, then all confusion about who God is would dissipate. If you wrote a book and hired publishers to print and translate your book, but they kept repeatedly altering it by removing the name of its main character, would you not find other publishers? You would use even the lowest and unimpressive if they would keep true to your book. Well Jehovah God has done somthing similar. John 1:1 therefore translates the verse not only to common sense but also with insight of God's personal name Jehovah YHWH.
4) the Trinity concept originated from pagans and the occult. Pagans still worship triune gods. the trinity doctrine is pagan. It worships 3 different persons as God. That's pagan my friend.

That Hebrews 1 : 5-8 was a hit. Case closed
Absolutely! That could also be coupled with Phillipians 2:6-7
It is sad you feel like this scripture supports a triune God. This scripture is talking about Jesus being elevated to a higher position in Gods kingdom. Lets look back a bit to the actual beginning of this scripture , here in 1:1 he is telling us that God spoke to their ancestors through MEN , which elevated these men to Prophets , then he explained that in these days he spoke through his son, He identifies in the next few verses that the son existed with the creator at the very beginning Then the following verses that you say case closed show what happen AFTER his sacrifice , it actually says in verse 3,4 When he cleansed us from our sin, he sat down at the right hand off the majestic GOD in heaven (notice this only happen after he went back to heaven) This shows the Son if far greater than the angels (this shows he was elevated to that position) just as the name GOD (The father) gave him is greater than theirs,. These verses clearly shows us that Jesus was elevated to this high position above the Angels , he did not always have that position.
@@stevenwbaker56 this scripture is mistranslated in Greek
morphē μορφῇ this translates in the form of and is also used to describe angels in other passages, this dose not Identify him as God, and when you continue to read this passage it tells you again that Jesus did not hold this position prior to this obedience in fact it was his obedience (which God himself did not have to prove to have) that gained him honour to that position. Look further into verse 9 where is clearly states that he was ELEVATED to that place of honour this indicates clearly he did not hold this position prior to that.
@@mattandmeadow You're very mistaken Jesus has two natures human nature and also the divine nature. As only unique son... Jesus Christ is not no angel..

This is an incredible debate and you absolutely moved these people! By the power of God you absolutely demonstrated and evangelized with class and poise! Bravo sir!!
2:36 - _'I believe Jesus is the true and the living GOD'_ - *The Bible says;* _'Jesus declared His own GOD and Father; "the only" true GOD'_
3:38 - _'I believe Jesus is a person of GOD, that GOD is three persons;_ - *The Bible reveals;* _'There is no such GOD as one God in three identified anywhere in Bible history'_
4:08 - _'the Bible teaches - that there are three that bare record in heaven, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit'_ - *The Bible reveals;* _'this to be a known corruption of the Catholic Church, and has been rejected by most Bible translations today'_
16:28 - _'but about the Son he says, your throne O' God ...;_ - *The Bible reveals;* _'these are the words of the human Psalmist, whereas the son anointed to the throne is identified as having a GOD above Him(v9)'_
19:22 - _'why does Thomas call Jesus GOD'_ - *The Bible reveals;* _'Thomas confessed the resurrected of Jesus Christ, made possible by His GOD and Father'_ - John 14.1, 1 Cor 8.6
30:50 - _'it means something completely different;_ - *The Bible reveals;* _'the title of the Word in John, is a personification of GOD's spoken will and commandment'_ - Ps 33.6-9, Isaiah 55.11
Therefore and as the title is both literal(see; out of His mouth), as well as personified in the Son, the conclusion is that the word that was GOD, is in-reflection to work carried-out by agency in the beginning.
And finally and on the matter of salvation, it is not religions that save us, but our faith in Jesus Christ sent by GOD to save us. And that anyone putting faith in the ransom sacrifice of Jesus Christ to take-up a life in accordance with His teachings and commandment will be saved.
I love this... Only thing I’d encourage is allowing one person to speak at a time, without rushing to speak “over them”, while witnessing.
There’s a difference with talking “AT” and talking “to”...

You have to keep bringing them back to the topic because they keep changing the subject.

Jesus prays to God as a living example of how we need to 1)follow Jesus and do as He does. Jesus made himself lowly and is both fully man and fully God. Jesus does everything for others and we are called to also die to self.
2) Jesus not only prays to God in the new testament Jesus is prayed to. Here are a few examples - this is not a comprehensive list -
Stephen prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my Spirit” (Acts 7:59). At Paul’s conversion, he prayed to Jesus: “Lord, what wilt thou have me do?” (Acts 9:6). Ananias conversed with Jesus when Jesus spoke to him in a vision (Acts 9:10-14). And the very last prayer in the New Testament is addressed to Jesus by the Apostle John: “Even so come, Lord Jesus!” (Revelation 22:20). If it were wrong to petition Christ, John the inspired writer may have said, “Father, may the Son come.” But instead he gave us these words to also cry out to Jesus: “Even so, come!”
According to the apostle Paul, New Testament Christians were everywhere praying to Jesus. “Paul. . . to the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ-their Lord and ours (1 Corinthians 1:1-2).”4 It appears that Paul includes himself among those who called upon the name of Jesus. These prayers directed to Jesus were universal. And the present tense of “call” suggests that the prayers were on-going.
Paul also prayed to Jesus when he “besought the Lord” to remove his thorn in the flesh (2 Corinthians 12:8). Why do we believe that the reference to “the Lord” here refers to Jesus instead of the Father? In the Pauline epistles, the term “Lord” (kurios) usually signifies Jesus, while “God” usually denotes to the Father. And look at the response of Paul when the Lord said to him, “My strength is made perfect in your weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9). Paul tells us that he would glory in his weakness that the “power of Christ” (the Lord) would be revealed in him. So the referent for “the Lord” is Jesus. Paul prayed to Jesus, and Jesus responded. Notice that these were prayers of petition, not praise. These were not spontaneous petitions or petitions given in response to the voice of the Lord or a vision, but a prayer prayed three times, as Paul persisted in his request to Jesus. If it were inappropriate for someone to offer supplication to Jesus, Paul would not have asked Jesus three times to answer a specific request. Jesus did not rebuke Paul for praying the prayer, but He did inform Paul that he was better off without the request being granted.
In 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17, Paul blessed the Thessalonians with these words: “May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father. . . encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.” Even though this benedictory prayer is in a different form than other prayers, it implies a request to Jesus (and the Father), and this suggests the legitimacy of prayer to Jesus. Paul expected Jesus to answer this request. A similar benedictory prayer (invoking the name of Jesus) is found in 1 Thessalonians 3:11-14.
We pray to Jesus because we know He is worthy of worship, and that He even demands worship. Jesus commanded us to honor the Son just as we honor the Father (John 5:23). If we fail to give praise to the Son in our prayers, as we give praise the Father, would we really be honoring the Son as we do the Father?
“Maranatha” (found in 1 Corinthians 16:22), which is usually translated as the petition, “Come, O Lord.” “Maranatha” is an Aramaic expression that originated before Christians had filtered throughout the Gentile community. It seems that very early on, the Christians were crying out to Jesus, “Come, O Lord!” This was a prayer of petition.
A verse in John 14 strongly encourages prayers of petition to Jesus. Jesus said, “Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.”12 Jesus here says that he would answer prayer when we asked him anything in his name. So Jesus authorizes us to address him in prayer when we come in his name-in his own authority, and in his will. And he promised that he would answer.
Prayers to Jesus are permitted and encouraged by Christ’s teaching in John 14:14, and by any passage in which Jesus says that we are to pray in His name. When Jesus told us to pray in His name, He wasn’t asking us to use a particular phrase at the end of each of our prayers, though the expression “in Jesus’ name, Amen” is certainly appropriate, and God-honored.
Jesus is worthy to receive all honor and all praise and all glory. In Jesus name. Amen.
Shalom! Jesus awaits that you "follow him" and be transformed and made new!
@@onlyjoetee what we understand from the revelation is that there is relationship within the oneness of God. It brings a wonderful new understanding to the verse which says God is Love in 1 John. The dynamic of God can only be understood by revelation of God to you.

Begotten/beget means to bring into existence
JWs always use this argument, just like they do with the word ‘firstborn’ which means preeminent one, not first created.
The group of people who ‘translated’ their bible weren’t even trained in Greek. Fred Franz only did a couple of weeks of learning the language. Not one of the translators were bible scholars. This all came out in the court trial of 1954.
I’m so glad I walked away from this cult in 1997. They kept the real Jesus from me for too long.
God bless u, brother
the facts you do not know would change everything....you've been hoodwinked even back in 1950 an unbiased evaluation of the NWT prove it to be the equal of the best translation of that time.But detractors don't want that to get out...
You slander Jehovah's fore-most Witness being in a cult and the next breathe you cherish Jesus! Are you for real!
John Colage do you need to be a Jehovah’s Witness to obtain salvation? If you were a baptized Jehovah’s Witness in 1974 and believed that no man knows when the end would come would you be wrong? Witnesses taught the world was coming to an end and it didn’t. Would you have been brave enough to stand up for the truth? Or would you blindly have followed that doctrine? If they got it wrong before could they be wrong again?
@@andremyy We have to be baptized into the same religion as Jesus Christ was baptized to have the opportunity for eternal life. All other religions are false. The eight that survived "The Great Flood " and the three that survived the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah were Jehovah's Witnesses. Please read John 6:67--71.
Outside the true congregation, what alternative organization is there? Only Satan's organization. The angel Satan was a Jehovah's Witness before he rebelled his Creator, Jehovah, and convinced other angels to leave their heavenly position. Did he not trick Eve and Adam from receiving eternal life? Yes, there is no resurrection for those two or Cain. The first human on earth to be a Jehovah's Witness was Abel.
The reason the first created angel, whom became a man named Jesus, was sent to earth, to restore and undo the damage the one angel caused. He knew that his life is short on earth and before entering back into heaven, Jesus arranged an organization on earth to provide spiritual food to benefit us here on earth.
Today, there are close to nine million and growing, baptized into the same religion as Christ Jesus. As in the past, they are the only ones that have the opportunity to survive this fast approaching "Great Tribulation." Visit jw.org Humanity's only salvation.
John Colage So you don’t directly answer my question. If you were a baptized witness in. 1974 and the organization was teaching that the world would come to an end would you be wrong not to believe it? If this is truly Yah’s organization does that mean Yah promotes lies? The truth is the truth and stands by itself...
Are you humble enough to serve Yah in spirit and truth and reject these religions? Imagine that John we both are baptized publishers and we are teaching opposite of scripture that the end is coming. Then when it doesn’t come to past we blame Yah??
Hmmm 🤔 use discernment if they got it wrong before who is to say they don’t have it wrong now? Jesus is the manifestation of the most high in the flesh.
If you John would have believed what the Bible taught about no man knowing when the end would come... you would have been disfellowshiped for going against the organization. Although you reasoned from the scriptures and believed the Bible
Think 🤔
Separate Yah from this religion... it is a man made organization
Thank you for being so patient. I am slowly learning to share the word and I have next door neighbors who are JW. They have a son who is a missionary in Ghana. Since being baptized in the Holy Spirit a couple years ago it is in my heart to talk to him. He is coming home in August and I feel I am supposed to share my experience with him. The parents are elderly and I feel it wouldn't be received well. Peace

Kell Myrick he’s actually not but u must be blind too. Psalms 83:18
954MrSayre yea God’s name is Jehovah. But that doesn’t mean there is not a trinity. It just means they are 2 consciousness in one spirit
As an ex Jehovah Witness, I am disgusted of how this Jw can’t even pay attention nor listen to what Preston is saying, and we learned to pay attention according to the Bible. It show the mind controlled of how the GOVERNING BODY is controlling them to make all Jehovah Witnesses to be close minded. You just can not reason with them.
I was impressed with Preston of how he approach to Anton. There are two scriptures that actually made me think why trinity make sense Hebrew 1:5-8 and Revelation 22:13. All active Jehovah Witness on the street have this mentality that “they want to be right!”
I am so glad that Preston brought about Charles Taze Russel who claimed that the world will end 1914. Also, later, the governing body or group people who running the organization, predicted the world was going to end in 1975. I love how you brought this scripture Deuteronomy 18:22 and it make believe Jehovah’s Witness is a cult and bunch of lies.
Preston does not know the truth of God however - and so he's got work to do if he is intent on worshipping God in truth.
Can you answer a simple question if you can..."why are there millions of Jehovah's Witnesses then" if it's a cult steeped in mind manipulation. My ex girlfriend went back to JW's and I could not wrap my mind around that whole practice. Thank you!

But all jokes aside, this is definitely serious because at the end of the day it's souls at stake.
These conversations are Needed but just so awkward to watch.
I wish I knew the word enough to have these conversations Confidentially, and really be able to stand on it and say This what it is and be able to back it up.
Anyone can learn the Bible, and let's be fair - anyone who puts in the effort will get his or her reward - the truth shall set you free!
if you know the gospel you can preach it :)
I know exactly what you saying mhennn ! A lot of us are not standing on concrete evidence
@Kalvin Booker
You’re right, there are lives at stake. If you haven’t studied the Bible enough to have these conversations, how do you know which one is right?
For example, most people who watch this would agree with Preston, because they have been raised or taught that God is a trinity or that Jesus is God. Is that what the Bible actually teaches?
Matthew 7:13-14 says “ Enter ye in by the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many are they that enter in thereby. For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leadeth unto life, and few are they that find it.”
According to Matthew, most people will be on the wrong road, so perhaps Anton is right.
I speak 4 languages fluently and several others a little bit. I speak and can read and write in Spanish and Portuguese and can read some Italian, French and Romanian. I speak Mandarin Chinese but have not learned to read any yet. I can tell you that Preston knows nothing about translation and is just regurgitating nonsense he was taught by people who try to defend the false trinity doctrine.
Do your research people. Any legitimate encyclopedia will tell you that the trinity doctrine was not a first century Christian teaching and was developed centuries later when Greek philosophies and pagan beliefs infiltrated Christian teachings.
More importantly, what does the Bible say and what did Jesus say?
Matthew 16:16 Jesus disciples identified Jesus as the Christ, the son of the living God. Not as God.
Colossians 1:15 Jesus is “the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. “ American Standard Version
The Greek word used here, Prototokos, comes from the root words Proto, which means first or only, as in prototype; and Tokos, which means child birth. The supposed definition of “preeminent one” was not an original meaning of this word and was a later addition by those who support the trinity doctrine because they needed a different definition.
1 Timothy 2:5 says “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus”. This is very clear, Jesus is not God, but he is the mediator between us and God.
God’s name in Hebrew was 4 consonants, YHWY. In Hebrew this would be a three syllable word as the first three consonants would each be followed by a vowel sound, and the last one would end the word. Yahweh is not the correct translation of Gods name as it is only two syllables. The English translation of that name is Jehovah, and it was translated to English in the 1500’s.
The no J in Hebrew rationale holds not weight. That’s be like saying there’s no J in Chinese.
Look at the name James. In a Spanish Bible, it’s Santiago. In Portuguese, it’s Tiago. In Chinese, there is no direct translation for the name, so someone would basically make a name up or use something that would closely resemble the name, but may not have the same meaning. But what if they were translating it from Portuguese instead of English? They would come up with something completely different.
The no “a” in Hebrew argument doesn’t work either. Look all throughout the rest of any translation that didn’t pu an “a” in John 1:1. Are there any “a’s”. Yes, they’re all over the place. So, how could the translators of those Bibles know they needed an “a” in some verses, but be adamant that there can be no “a” in John 1:1? They can’t. It’s just a bad argument of someone who “needs” to stand on that verse as supposed support of their false doctrine. But, like Anton said, you can’t use just one scripture. What does the rest of the Bible say about Jesus, Jehovah, God’s Kingdom, etc.?
Don’t feel badly, it isn’t easy having conversations with JWs, they are brainwashed, not taught or instructed according to scriptures, into believing the lies their false religion aka cult wants them to believe. At least you tried.

Bold bold bold ! Wow i love it !!! Ive always had a heart for apologetics ! One of my favs is Ravi Zacharias.

You should check out Steve Gregg and David Pawson
He accuses Anton by saying Jehovah witness adds an "a" to the bible in "the word was a God"
but Preston does the same thing and adds the word "triune" to the bible
No where in the bible are the words triune, trinity, three persons or co-eternal mentioned
Do a word search online, you will not find these words
Ask Preston to show you where the word triune is in the bible, he preaches a false Christ
average joe
That’s a false analogy.
Those words aren’t found in the Bible but it doesn’t have to be because the teachings are in there.
*Case in point:* “omnipotent, omnipresent, Sovereign etc” are words not doing in the Bible, yet they express the very character and nature of God. Likewise trinity is not found in the Bible but using a consistent method of exegesis, you will end up with the trinity, I might also add, _bible isn’t in the Bible._ It’s true, do a word search.
The addition of the word “a” is different since now you are dealing with linguistics and what actually appears in the text.
Daniel Rebecca
Not true. He’s a great apologist
@Daniel Rebecca Not sure where you got this opinion. I've watched a lot of Ravi and haven't ever heard him teach anything but the truth. If he's a false teacher, provide proof please, not baseless accusations.
I was born and raised in the Jehovah's witness organization. This man who was at this cart is pretty knowlegable however he wasn't answering your inquiries. They are trained to get around the questions. Omg. You were spot on.
We arent trained to get around questions? Do you really mean to say what you are typing ?
@@jackhood3676 As Jehovah witnesses put it during their evening meetings when a vote is made to the congregation." I second that emotion" all of use guys go along even when you don't agree or have questions. Therefore, you do ignore the question or make excuses to the fact that even though you don't understand you just simply agree 💯. Because you well know you can't think for yourself and if u respond in non agreement, you will be marked. You know I'm right. If I'm not correct, I challenge you to try it and see how you fail as being different or for lack of a better word, apostate/independent Spirit instead of using Free Will! So in rebuttle to your statement, a profoundly Yes, they do avoid at all cost. And I believe he did know exactly what he was saying 😂. Speaking as a JW ex. You are trained, have you forgotten about the Reasoning from the scriptures book? Yeah, I thought so.
Wow, PRAISE GOD. I just found your page today and I love your messages and the example you are showing people. Also the way you explain how you approach these people and guide the convo, giving pointers to your viewers. That is extremely helpful and will help push people to talk about God without trying to convince others of your belief or getting frustrated with the convo.

That’s funny 😄
I know another witness that says that Thomas was using an idiom. The problem with that is, they're trying to make an ancient Hebrew culture an western culture. They didn't use languages like we do. Different people, culture and time. We can't read the bible with an modern western mindset.
Should've hit him with John 10:30 "The Father and I are ONE" And John 14.

Or even Genesis 18:1 where God Almighty appeared in front of Abram
@@jesuschristsaves9067 thats not necessarily a scripture that proves Jesus' deity.
NaturallyMeMarie
It is in light of John 1:18 where *no man has seen God at anytime.* Genesis 18 is the manifestation of the Son or else there is a contradiction in scripture in light of John’s claim. Another passage is Genesis 19:24 where we see a rare occurrence of the _two YHWH figures._
NaturallyMeMarie
Witnesses that I’ve spoken to have stated that John 10’s claim of the oneness of God with Jesus is the same oneness of the disciples of Jesus. Of course I don’t believe that but it’s that kind of reasoning with John 10:30.

in my teenage years my mother got into the Jehovah witness religion. she used to make me go with her and I absolutely hated it . if you go to their weekly "reunions" you don't feel the spirit of god anywhere, its almost bleak. this whole experience as a teenager made me hate god for reason most of you all know. they are so blind and brainwashed . they try to renounce everything that the word of god teaches and separate themselves from the "world". they don't even call their congregation a church because to them everything is satanic. I've seen so many familys , people and in my experience childhoods be broken because of this religion. I thank god everyday he never stoped searching for me even when I was a non believer. Unfortunately my mother is still in the church, please pray for her. I pray for her everyday

Thats easy to say for a person that is going by feelings alone and hasnt done any research. A lot of what jw's do is directed by gods holy spirit. Ask for understanding and it will be given to you
Perry Preston!! You totally “ROCK” I absolutely LOVE the way you let SCRIPTURE drive your Truths! And you did this in LOVE w PATIENCE, ie SOME FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT!!! Keep on Preston, actually I’m gonna follow your stuff here on RUclips!!
Excellent presentation Preston. I did my undergrad at a Catholic Seminary (Jesuits) back in the seventies post Vatican II and our teachers (most had PhD degrees from accredited universities in STEM, religion, literature, etc...) would encourage us to discuss, search for the truth, to ask questions, etc.). They wanted to have us find our own answers i.e. the Seminary did not teach us "what to think" but "how to think", the answers were left to us to find out.
A major problem discussing religious issues with the JW followers is that they use their own Bible which they claim is the "proper" translation ("God inspired", of course) to our Bible. It does not matter that their "Old Testament" does not follow the Jewish Tanakh on which all Christian bibles are based; it appears that "brother Russell" despite the fact that he did not know Koine Greek, Classical Latin, and Antique Hebrew, was the only one that actually knew what the Bible meant. Incidentally, his base Bible was an older King James translation available in the States at the time. He did not have access (or want to have access) to the originals sources available at the time. Most if not all of JW's belief system is based on Russell's and Rutherford's own interpretations of the available Bible of that era.
I modern Catholic Seminaries, "Dogma thinking" is discouraged and accordingly, I truly appreciate your search for the truth in your discussion with this JW preacher. Ciao, L

Joy Mosley Preston got patience for YEARSSS
Joy Mosley How would you like if someone secretly recorded your conversation and posted it? 🤔
What people don’t know is the name Jesus in Hebrew is Jeshua-or Joshua, or Jehoshua-means “Jehovah is salvation.” The Greeks transliterated that as Iesous, which in turn gave us the Latin form, Jesus.
It’s clearly that Jehovah and Jesus are 2 separate individuals. Great job brother Antone for keeping your composure . You looked like a true Christian reasoning with the scriptures. I loved how Antone left him with a last scripture and a question to ponder over is John 17:26 I have made your NAME known to them and will make it known, how Jesus making gods Devine name known today ? Great way to end the conversation.
But he couldn't answer questions.. Even for an unbeliever its easy to see he ran away, dodged, and even used the excuse that he had to leave
Can you dialogue with a "hebrew israelite" next?
Yes PLEASE! WHAT'S the DEAL with this?
Yes.... Me: Boy Bye!!
Of course anyone that is knowledgeable with the scriptures can dialogue with a hebrew Israelite. Wats the point?
in my experience not for long ...they want to preach at you.....they do not want to hear what a JW has to say. I have had them approach me on 2 occasions, talk at me ,and as soon a I try to make a point in the conversation ,after listening to them for a solid8-10 mins. they decided to break off the conversation and retreat because i was breaking down whatever point they were trying to make as invalid. and as a rule these guys were not even half my age. So I don't approach them , if they come to me I will tell them I don't believe in race based theology…..period. that's the way they come across to me...
rawbrutaltruth I have experienced the same thing, it was like they wanted to speak against my perspective instead of seeing it a different way. It is hard for me to respect someone’s doctrine when they claim their right and everyone else is wrong
Beautiful how you approached them!! God Bless you brother!!
***(JESUS): I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
So true. Amen. Jesus IS Lord!!!
He meant unless you believe he is the messiah or God's messenger you will die in your sins. There's nothing in there that says unless you believe I am God you'll die in your sins.

@@rodneydangerfield5316 I acknowledge that the Son in distinct from the Father. Also, the Father, Son and HS are 3 persons=1 God.
I'm not a Jehovah's Witness but I have read the bible before and I have a question....Who did Jesus, as a Jew, worship? The reason I ask this is because from what I understand a Christian is suppose to follow Jesus' footsteps, in other words, they must imitate Christ. If Jesus worshiped Yahweh (Jehovah), shouldn't his followers do the same?
I’m a catholic myself and so the way I understand it is that the Jews formed a covenant or promise with God that a messiah would come and save them. Jesus, a practicing Jew, came forward and said that he is the messiah and the son of god and has come to fulfill that covenant. That’s pretty much the basis of Christianity. The jewish god and the Christian god are one in the same.
You have a very valid point. When Jesus was dying, he cried out to his father God. How could he cry out to himself? Its very clear that Jesus is God's son. I'd say you definitely need to pray to god for discernment and he will give you clarity❤
