@sevensieteS it's called working hard and producing genuine biblical products to advance the Scriptures and also have my work supported. A laborer is worthy of his wages.
YHWH or JHVH. These four-consonant words are commonly called the Tetragrammaton, or Tetragram, derived from two Greek words meaning “four letters.” Now the question of accurate pronunciation arises because early Hebrew writing consisted of consonants with no vowels to guide the reader. So whether the pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton becomes Yahweh or Jehovah depends on which vowels the reader supplies to the four consonants. Today many Hebrew scholars prefer Yahweh as the true pronunciation. However, consistency favors Jehovah. In what way? The pronunciation Jehovah has been accepted in English for centuries. Those who object to using this pronunciation should also object to the use of the accepted pronunciation Jeremiah and even Jesus. Jeremiah would need to be changed to Yir•meyahʹ or Yir•meyaʹhu, the original Hebrew pronunciations, and Jesus would become Ye•shuʹaʽ (Hebrew) or I•e•sousʹ (Greek). Hence, many Bible students, including Jehovah’s Witnesses, feel that consistency favors the use of the already well-known English-language “Jehovah” and its equivalent in other languages. Why does the New World Translation use the form “Jehovah”? In English, the four letters of the Tetragrammaton (יהוה) are represented by the consonants YHWH. As was true of all written words in ancient Hebrew, the Tetragrammaton contained no vowels. When ancient Hebrew was in everyday use, readers easily provided the appropriate vowels. About a thousand years after the Hebrew Scriptures were completed, Jewish scholars developed a system of pronunciation points, or signs, by which to indicate what vowels to use when reading Hebrew. By that time, though, many Jews had the superstitious idea that it was wrong to say God’s personal name out loud, so they used substitute expressions. Thus, it seems that when they copied the Tetragrammaton, they combined the vowels for the substitute expressions with the four consonants representing the divine name. Therefore, the manuscripts with those vowel points do not help in determining how the name was originally pronounced in Hebrew. Some feel that the name was pronounced “Yahweh,” whereas others suggest different possibilities. A Dead Sea Scroll containing a portion of Leviticus in Greek transliterates the divine name Iao. Besides that form, early Greek writers also suggest the pronunciations Iae, I•a•beʹ, and I•a•ou•eʹ. However, there is no reason to be dogmatic. We simply do not know how God’s ancient servants pronounced this name in Hebrew. (Genesis 13:4; Exodus 3:15) What we do know is that God used his name repeatedly in communication with his people, that they addressed him by that name, and that they used it freely in speaking with others.-Exodus 6:2; 1 Kings 8:23; Psalm 99:9. The first rendering of God’s personal name in an English Bible appeared in 1530 in William Tyndale’s translation of the Pentateuch. He used the form “Iehouah.” Over time, the English language changed, and the spelling of the divine name was modernized. For example, in 1612, Henry Ainsworth used the form “Iehovah” throughout his translation of the book of Psalms. Then, in 1639, when that work was revised and printed with the Pentateuch, the form “Jehovah” was used. In 1901, the translators who produced the American Standard Version of the Bible used the form “Jehovah” where the divine name appeared in the Hebrew text. Explaining why he used “Jehovah” instead of “Yahweh” in his 1911 work Studies in the Psalms, respected Bible scholar Joseph Bryant Rotherham said that he wanted to employ a “form of the name more familiar (while perfectly acceptable) to the general Bible-reading public.” In 1930 scholar A. F. Kirkpatrick made a similar point regarding the use of the form “Jehovah.” He said: “Modern grammarians argue that it ought to be read Yahveh or Yahaveh; but JEHOVAH seems firmly rooted in the English language, and the really important point is not the exact pronunciation, but the recognition that it is a Proper Name, not merely an appellative title like ‘Lord.’”
Yes, it seems God only permitted "Allah" to create the Qu'ran if he included the verses below, so anyone who actually studied the Qu'ran can find the Truth. Many people who claim to be muslim say: "Bible and Torah were corrupted/changed by men." Which is in disagreement with their "Allah", who says: 1) "Torah and Bible are the word of God" (Surah 2:41, 3:3, 5:43-48). 2) "Words of God cannot be corrupted(change by men)" (Surah 6:115, 18:27). 3) Jesus says "I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life. No man can come to the Father except through me" (Bible, John 14:6). 4) If you believe the Qu'ran, you must then believe the Bible, which then cancels the Qu'ran.
@@Yeshua_Ha_MashiacAmen! Another verse I really like: John 20:28 and 29 Jesus never said Thomas was wrong for calling him God. In fact, he said those who believe he (Jesus) is God but never saw him (Jesus) are blessed to have such strong faith.
-Had no servants, yet they called him Master. -Had no degree, yet they called him Teacher. -Had no medicines, yet they called him Healer. -He had no army, yet kings feared Him. -He won no Wars, yet He conquered the world. -He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him. -He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today. Jesus Christ our God🙏🏽
@@beaniebaby1208 Symbolism. The Father looks down on reality. Jesus is his avatar. This is how he can sustain reality for eternity and participate in it simultaneously. Same God, different perspectives, different persons. Come to the Lord Jesus Christ, Yahweh, the Angel of the Lord, Emmanuel and learn the joy of eternal life.
Who is Juan speaking to? It is the congregation who understood the divinity of Jesus, never as God the Majesty, so they could be spoken in that terminology without understanding that Jesus is God THE MAGESTY, EVEN when Jesus IS ALLOWED to receive GLORY AND HONOR that only belongs to THE MAGESTY AND THAT IT WAS NOT LIKE THIS, much less in the TIMES OF ISAIAS, UNTIL NOW that he gave his life as a sacrifice, and that I cannot be declared as such in the times of Isaiah, since that was not the message of justice that now after the death of Jesus, it would be. Paul understood it very well.
Hussein is an admitted former Muslim who converted to Christianity and he has better knowledge of scripture than most other Christians. He is someone the rest of the Christian community should model themselves after. Keep the faith, brother!
I was born and raised as one of Jehovah's witnesses. But Jesus Christ revealed himself to me. That He is LORD and GOD. And it is my prayer that they may receive that same revelation by the SPIRIT of GOD.
I rejoice for you as the angles in Heaven are that you have come to know Jesus. Im 51 and was born into jdub but i always knew it was wrong and a cult. My parents divorced when i was 7 and i fought against it until i was 16. I accepted Jesus as my savior and into my life in 2020 because i lost a cat that i dearly loved so much. He created my little Feral calico mix breed mutt Caley that i didnt know had FELV and im thankfull i had her for a little while. Let me assure you pets will be heaven cuz first time i felt the Holy Spirit was in prayer ( warm fuzzy imense love feeling with a small inner bright light that just expands and you just freeze up cuz its to intense and you cant handle him in full). Felt him 8 times so far. I read every book in the bible except psalms. Im only about half way through but ive read the other 65 books multiple times and ive had the pages jump out at me. Ive had multiple visions of Jesus and other things ( the Throne room was pretty cool ). And yes he has even talked ti me through scriptures but the really cool thing is when he answers questions through scripture or i ask a question one day and wake up the next with certain song lyrics fresh in my mind that answers the question. No its NOT Demons trying to mess with me because i question the spirits as we are told to do. Anyway so glad you got out of jws.
Amen. I too, was raised as a Jehovah witness but it always conflicted my spirit. After my husband (a Jehovah’s Witness) passed this this August, I decided to go into a fast for 10 days. During that fast I picked up the KJV and it revealed to me that Jesus is Lord and God. I am so thankful to him for revealing to me what I did not know for the entire 30 years of my life. I wish I could have shared this with my husband before his passing. He was disfellowshipped and suffered from depression from being shunned by everyone he knew, including his family. They didn’t even want to attend his funeral and talked me into cremating him for that reason. I Thank Jesus for saving my life from this religion.
As a native Greek from Greece, I can fully confirm that your teaching and interpretation of John 1:1 is accurate and Orthodox about the Greek text . And the Greek text is crystal clear.
Just because you confirm the Greek is accurate does not mean the 'interpretation' of a part of something is accurate. Interpretations don't necessarily mean getting the sense of the meaning of something. Personal perceptions and desire to control outcomes is what stylize interpretations serve. When people get the same accurate understanding of a particular thought, then they all end up on the same page and in agreement to collaborate. Jesus was all about agreement and collaboration. Which cannot happen when everyone is interpreting their own way. Just look at the world's politics and religions...divisive because of language and personal interpretations.
@@cugrngneer the text is clear and accurate. There’s only one possible interpretation of the passage. The text says that the Word was God. Not a God. The whole point of the passage is to say that the Word is YHWH. Who’s the Word? We are in luck, because the following verses explain the mystery.
@@nikostheater "We are in luck, because the following verses explain the mystery." Where are they? Do you mean "the text is clear and accurate" according to Your own understanding of ancient Greek, which King James's English translators translated from? Your understanding of Greek doesn't mean that the essence and understanding is being translated to the reader from ancient Hebrew to ancient Greek to middle ages English with accuracy or with collective agreement. Jesus promoted agreement among his followers regarding the Scriptures' message about him. The Father/Son relationship is a fundamental relationship humans are able to conceptualize and associate with. "Let US make man in OUR image..." (Gen 1:26) In verse 27 it says, " And God went on to create the man in his image..." Father gets all the credit and glory, but son works side by side in the work reaping his own reward. Connections we can experience. We don't naturally conceptualize that we are made up of multiple people with separate free wills along with 3 way hierarchy occupying the same body including a spirit entity sidekick. Evidently, because we are not created in the image of anyone defined as a trinity. We are all given the dignity of individuality, personality and will...Like Jehovah and Jesus see themselves. People use John 1:1 as if the rest of the Bible is irrelevant without realizing they are doing it. Do you know this scripture? (2 Tim 3:15-17)
@@nikostheaterthe definite article depends on context just as in 2 cor 4:4 theos doesn't mean Almighty God but the god of this world john 1:1 is a god a mighty one
@@oete9259 the word θεός means god. Not all mighty, not lesser, not godly, not exalted. It means god. Εν αρχή ήν ο Λόγος και ο Λόγος ήν προς τον Θεόν και Θεός ήν ο Λόγος. The verse literally is saying that the Word “Λόγος « is pre-existing, that the Word was with God and that the Word was God. The verse equates the Word with YHWH. It clarifies it further, because the Word is a creator of Creation along with God , to the point that EVERYTHING that was created, was created with the Word. So the Word is pre-existing and also a Creator. The whole point of the whole chapter is to point out that Λόγος is YHWH. The Elohim of Genesis 1:1.
I love the fact that you can control your tone, your emotion and your entire being when speaking to them. You do not get frustrated (or at least show frustration), you do not show angst or animosity. You are at perfect peace the whole time. It's incredible and so inspiring. Most people get angry in the conversations and they end up getting heated quite quickly. I can tell that God's Holy Spirit is strongly resting upon you.
It's difficult, I was talking with Mormons, it was going well until they wouldn't come without their elders. So I rebuked the elder for shielding the children's eyes. I dont know if I did right or wrong. I should have just said "the Lord rebuke you"
Your first mistake is thinking you can reason with a witness. As an ex witness, it’s like beating your head on a brick wall. I loved how you kept taking them back to the authority, the original Greek. They’re not trained to reason that way. You’re a great teacher.
Usually if I ever bring up I know Greek the conversation stops and an elder will come by and after I tell them my theology degree and the issue with John 1:1 and they stop. Then come back every year and they smile and leave when I still live there. How is this conversation going. continuing?
The sad thing is there was a time when they were taught to reason that way. I think it all started going downhill after Nathan H Norr. After him, the number of people that possessed that skill, just dwindled and dwindled. I think Franz was probably the last one who is a true master at it. The man was a genius. He was multilingual and counted Koine Greek among the languages he spoke. Anyway, Russell absolutely had nothing against debating people on biblical points. He frequently debated people using a Greek version called the Emphatic Diaglot which was an interlinear that was used before the Kingdom Interlinear was used. These days, they are discouraged from getting any sort of high-level education whatsoever, and positively forbidden from debating with anybody. Very few truly and deeply understand the points that they’re making with people as opposed to just repeating Word for Word what they are getting out of some of those publications. They only know the beaten path. They never stray from it.
@@MarcTelesha oh, oh, they would avoid you like the plague! 😆 I distinctly remember sitting in the audience about a decade ago during one of the meetings when the watchtower article for the week was being considered wherein they absolutely told us not to go digging in the Greek to try to second-guess the New World translation. We were told that even if we thought we understood it better, we didn’t. As a polyglot with several languages under my belt, and being fully acquainted with how easily things can be mistranslated when taken from one language to another, I remember being outraged by that stance. Anyway,you being trained and actually educated in the language would be far too much for them to handle.
Trust me, i was ignorant myself it took 8 yrs for my friend to invite me to church and i'm glad i did. It was hard for me to shed the old teachings, but truthfully everything i'm learning now about the word makes so much sense.
I’m an exJW and this is normal. They get stumped with a question that their Bible is wrong and they don’t have an answer. And they have to be right all of the time and always judge and say Christian’s are wrong. See how Lydia hesitated to even chat with him until he asked for further discussion. She said she would research it. She probably talked with an elder and he told her not to revisit this man’s house. And all they came back with was Big “G”, little “g”. They are not versed or understand scripture-I wasn’t either when I was JW. It’s sad. The indoctrination is crazy-it is false teachings.
My twin sister has been a JW for 60 years, me...a born again Christian for 51 years. She is very stubborn and pretty self righteous. Honestly, I believe that Jehovah's Witnesses are Old Testament. They have to believe that it's works that saves you. I have never been able to even reason with her. I do think that they can only be reached by personal revelation.
@margoblay4915 they're teaching from a corrupt script Ephesians 4:20-23 The truth is in Jesus Christ . Colossians 1:16-18 All things created by Jesus Christ Colossians 1:16-18 16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. In Jesus Christ dwells the fullness of the Godhead Colossians 2:9 8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
Hussein is so patient and kind. I thought I would come here only to view a snippet of the video. Turns out, I finished watching part 1 and 2 altogether. Even more amazing, I picked up my bible and went to each scripture Hussein mentioned to examine, take notes, and feed my soul. It was truly helpful and a blessing. Thank you!!!
My mom is a JW and my dad is an unbeliever.. I bought my dad a ESV bible with extra large print so he can read it as his sight is not good. My mom was … not happy to say the least lol BUT If she won’t listen maybe the unbeliever will.
Why? I have ESV on Bible Hub app alongside 30 plus other translations as a JW I love referring to many different translations. Great for study The reason we use the NWT is that it is a translation that has not REMOVED Gods name from His own Holy Word.
@@hereweare9096 God’s Covenant name was never in any of His Holy Scriptures, so it couldn’t have been removed. They were very careful to use only the Tetragrammaton, to avoid accidental blasphemy. The Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society is selling you a bill of goods. With a bit of time and study, you can find that for yourself. Just put a little time into Koine Greek (the original language of the New Testament), and you will find that your NWT was very clearly mistranslated. I pray that, through God’s grace, you are freed.
John 1:1,2; 1 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God.” Is Jesus Christ God or the word of God? John 14:10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. So Jesus said the words that He speak it’s not His words, but God’s words. Let’s see what God says in the Scriptures below: Deuteronomy 18:18 I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brethren, and will put My words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him. Isaiah 42:1 “Behold! My Servant whom I uphold, My Elect One in whom My soul delights! I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles. Matthew 3:17 And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Now with the above Bible scriptures in mind let’s read, John 1:1 In the beginning was …… Jesus Christ…….the Word, and …… Jesus Christ…..the Word was with God, and the Word …… Jesus Christ spoke ……was God. 2 He…… Jesus Christ….. was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him…… Jesus Christ….., and without Him …… Jesus Christ…..nothing was made that was made. In Him ….. Jesus Christ,…. was life, and the life was the light of men.……. John 1:14 And the Word….. Jesus Christ…… became 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. John 17:5 And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.

@@Maria__57 no one is denying the Christ is God’s son. John 10:36 Jesus Christ said: "I am God's Son." What we do not believe, especially since it was not a teaching of Jesus is the Trinity. It is a teaching that came about 300 years after Jesus died. The following scriptures show that Jesus is not God. John 14:28, RS: “[Jesus said:] If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I go to the Father; for the Father is greater than I.” 1 Cor. 11:3, RS: “I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.” Holy Spirit is Gods (The Most High)power. This is evident by what the angel told Mary at Luke 1:I n answer the angel said to her: “Holy spirit will come upon you, and power of the Most High will overshadow you. And for that reason the one who is born will be called holy,l God’s Son.”and at Acts 1:8 it says You will receive power when the holy spirit arrives upon you, and you will be witnesses of me both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the most distant part of the earth.” Clearly this shows that Holy Spirit is not a person but Gods power.
The Bible says the wicked flee when no one is in pursuit,but the righteous are as bold as lions.. God bless you ,keep sharing the true gospel brother..
The Bible also says, "Do not cast your pearls before swine." They are not running away. They are simply choosing not to continue to share treasured truths with a person that does not currently express appreciation for such truths. But they will try back again in the future. And hopefully later he will be sincere in heart. I was by far the biggest "swine" (rolling in the mud, so to speak), more than this gentleman and more than most people back in the past. I can assure you that now I appreciate the truth, so I became teachable by Jehovah and Jesus.

Jehovah Witness are more then allowed to question and ask and doubt you wont be kicked out if you doubt or question actually they support that because you should look for answers.. the reason Jehovah Witness dont really go deep into discussions is because they have only one task and that is to talk to the people about God because God wants us to preach his word and before his word reached the entire earth the end wont come.. they speak to people because they care and because God wants them to but when your not interested or you believe something else they respectfully back down. Its not a Jehovah Witness job to convince you if God wants to touch a heart God will do so..
1 John 4:3 is the reason why she’s not accepting it. Jehovah witnesses are part of Satan’s doctrine that’s why they’re tryna so hard to convince people Jesus ain’t God when clearly he is.

I sat next to a Jehovah's Witness on the plane yesterday, and he noticed the Bible I was reading. He brought up the New World Translation, which was new to me. We had a conversation about the Bible, and he tried to persuade me to consider the Jehovah's Witness doctrine. I saw it as an opportunity to share my faith, which had been my prayer (open doors of opportunity to being people to Jesus) Although I was grateful for the chance, I felt a bit uncomfortable/lost as to what to say. Today, I came across this helpful video that discussed Greek comparisons in the Bible, which I found beneficial. I'm unsure how it appeared in my feed, but I'm glad it did. The speaker was very skilled at delving into the Bible in detail, something I may not be able to do, but it was certainly insightful. Thank you.
In the old testament, you see the word being given a personality. Example in Genesis where the scripture says the word was walking in the garden. You may ask how can a word walk? Genesis 3:8 KJV And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden. It goes to show that the word from the beginning is a person. In the book of John 1, he wrote, and the word became man and lived among us. That mean the word of God put on flesh and dwelt with mankind for a while. A person is what he says and what he does. The same way God is what he says abd what ge does. God's word is God Himself. You cannot separate God from his word. Thats is why Jesus being the word putting on flesh is God himself. People may argue but the reason why Jesus kept referring to His Father is because his Father was in his fullness and Jesus being the word was only on an assignment to save the world. He had only one purpose where as all purposes was in God. Therefore you hear him say my father is greater than I.
Unfortunately you have been deceived by this page just because a person claims to know greek doesn’t mean they are being honest you do realise you all read from a bible that Omits Gods true Name. How can you claim enlightenment when your bible doesn’t contain the most MENTIONED NAME in the BIBLE JEHOVAH.
@RubenLheureux Do you realize that the watch tower has replaced the name of God with Jehova? YHWH...pronounced Yahweh is the closest to the Hebrew name of God that we have because God's ame was considered so sacred they would not even write it in its entirety and used to leave a letter out. Also you don't need to know Greek we live in amazing times which means you will be without excuse on judgment day. Anyone can take the original language Greek and translate it. The Bible in keeping with that translates Yahew to LORD in all capitals. Go check it out every time you se LORD in all caps it means Yahweh...nothing has been ommited and you have been lied to by the watch tower.
@@RubenLheureux Firstly, one doesn’t necessarily have to listen to someone who claims to know Greek when the internet is free. You can do your own research on the on both the Hebrew and Greek manuscripts of the Bible and see the truth. Secondly, the most highest name of God is Yahweh, YHWH which is held at such a high standard that it was spelt short and used other names of God in respect for Him. One of the other names used was Adonai, which means My Lord. The letter J isn’t in the original text of the Bible. And the name Jehovah (Latin origins) was brought later as time progressed. Jehovah became a cross over between YHWH and the vowels from Adonai therefore before YaHoWaH. Later as the Latin language emerged becoming Jehovah. It is a beautiful name of God however, it is not the highest because its origin.

This may be a dumb question. I'd like to learn Greek purely to read scripture. It seems very interesting to me. Is modern Greek very far off from Greek 2000 years ago
@@noahhewitt4165enough that you want to learn koine for the purpose. Why not start with biblical hebrew? Even this guy failed at the end with his "I am" argument because he apparently reads greek, but not hebrew
See that makes no sense. If God needed a better newer book to learn from HE would not use anyone that could not read the original language the Bible was written in. The Dead Sea Scrolls are reinforcement for the Bible. It's sad that Satan has captured the minds and souls of the JW.
As being raised as Jehovah Witnesses it’s sad seeing how stuck in mentality the people who follow it are. They read misguided, misinformed, and misleading text that can make someone who doesn’t know better blindly follow. I am glad that once I graduated high school and left the house I started doing my own research and started to think for myself. They are usually the most respectful people but it’s the mindset that will close their ears off to the true word. I will pray for them in Jesus’s name 🙏🏾
Bible translator William Barclay writes: “Now normally, except for special reasons, Greek nouns always have the definite article in front of them, . . . When a Greek noun has not got the article in front of it, it becomes rather a description than an identification, and has the character of an adjective rather than of a noun. We can see exactly the same in English. If I say: ‘James is the man’, then I identify James with some definite man whom I have in mind; but, if I say: ‘James is man’, then I am simply describing James as human, and the word man has become a description and not an identification. If John had said ho theos ēn ho logos, using a definite article in front of both nouns, then he would definitely have identified the logos [the Word] with God, but because he has no definite article in front of theos it becomes a description, and more of an adjective than a noun. The translation then becomes, to put it rather clumsily, ‘The Word was in the same class as God, belonged to the same order of being as God ‘. . . . John is not here identifying the Word with God. To put it very simply, he does not say that Jesus was God.”-Many Witnesses, One Lord (1963), pages 23, 24.
@@vivofilms William Barclay was brilliant and was incensed that he was misquoted by the watch tower. He demanded a full on apology from the watch tower which was never given to him. In other words the watch tower does what it does best flat out lies to their people. In the end God(Jesus) will judge them at the white throne. Revelation 21:8 all the liars will have their part in the lake of fire and brimstone.
@@vivofilms Interesting, did you manage to actually read the ENTIRE citation, of course you didnt JWs dont do research, they let 9 men in a forest do it for them. you put up there verbatim as per Watchtower....lets now finish it. sentences in brackets are what you left out as did the cult. [In a matter like this, we cannot do other than to go to the Greek, which is theos en ho logos. Theos is the Greek word for God, en for was, ho for the, logos for word. Now normally, except for special reasons, Greek nouns always have the definite article in front of them, *and we can see at once here that theos the noun for God has not got the definite article in front of it*.] When a Greek noun has not got the article in front of it, it becomes rather a description than an identification, and has the character of an adjective than of a noun. We can see exactly the same in English. If I say, "James is the man," then I identify James with some definite man whom I have in mind; but if I say: "James is man", then I am simply describing James as human, and the word man has become a description and not an identification. If John had said ho theos en ho logos, using a definite article in front of both nouns, then he would have definitely identified the Logos with God, but because he has no definite article in front of theos it becomes a description, and more of an adjective than a noun. The translation then becomes, to put it rather clumsily, "The Word was in the same class as God, belonging to the same order of being as God." [The only modern translator who fairly and squarely faced this problem is Kenneth Wuest, who has: "The Word was as to his essence essential deity." But it is here that the NEB has brilliantly solved the problem with the absolutely accurate rendering: "What God was the Word was]." John is not here identifying the Word with God. To put it very simply, he does not say that Jesus was God'" ['"God himself took this human flesh upon him." (William Barclay; Many Witnesses, One Lord, p27) ] BARCLAY WAS REFUTING MODALISM - NOT TRINITARISM!!!!! How deceitful of you. Just like WATCHTOWER. When Barclay says in his book, Many Witnesses, One Lord: "John is not here identifying the Word with God. To put it very simply, he does not say that Jesus was God", Barclay is refuting Modalism. Modalism states that the Father and the Son are the same person. Barclay is saying, with our brackets added for emphasis, "John is not here identifying the Word with God [the person of the Father]. To put it very simply, he does not say that Jesus was God [the person of the Father]". Jehovah's Witnesses deliberately confuse their readers by misinterpreting anti-Modalist comments. Such is the "deception of wickedness". When Barclay says in his book, Many Witnesses, One Lord: "The Word was in the same class as God, belonging to the same order of being as God." It is obvious that Barclay is viewing that Jesus is just as much VERY God as the Father. In Barclay's letter to Shoemaker, he says, "that he is of the same stuff as God, that is of the same being as God" which is echoing the Athanasian creed
@@vivofilms Letter written by William Barclay to Donald Shoemaker of Biola College after Shoemaker informed Barclay how the Watchtower had misquoted him: Dear Professor Donald Shoemaker, Thank you for your letter of August 11th. The Watchtower article has, by judicious cutting, made me say the opposite of what I meant to say. What I was meaning to say, as you well know, is that Jesus is not the same as God, to put it more crudely, that he is of the same stuff as God, that is of the same being as God, but the way the Watchtower has printed my stuff has simply left the conclusion that Jesus is not God in a way that suits themselves. If they missed from their answer the translation of Kenneth Wuest and the N.E.B., they missed the whole point. It was good of you to write and I don't think I need say anything more to make my position clear. With every good wish. Yours Sincerely William Barclay.

Hossein - thank you for part 2. This was a master-class in patience as you clearly pointed out the truth from scripture and they could not see. The seed has been planted. Well done.
I am a 60-year-old Christian man and I preach the gospel. I really enjoyed this video. And I received more revelation myself on the word becoming flesh. I love how you showed it throughout the whole Old testament. I guess you made me think of it in a whole new light. Thank you!
You directly quote many verses from the Bible and refute their 'Greek translation' misconceptions yet every time they either say they have to go or "just look at the website". Why would I look at a website instead of the Bible? Hard to get through to people who refuse to look at what you are showing them.
And the Bible says everyone will have a chance to hear the Truth. This may be it for them. I pray their ears and eyes open up and their hearts receive it.
@user-xo2mp4yf7b the sons of God are fallen angels They came into the women of men and created the Nephillam Read in Genesis 6 Our God is a Big G God and none other compare I serve the King Most High Yeshua Hamashiach
@user-xo2mp4yf7b I'm not sure what you're looking for in those 2 verses. And what translation of the Bible do you read? Because a Mormon Bible or a Jehovah Witness Bible does not align completely with the Word as they deny Jesus Christ as Lord. And also I saw a moved coma to change the meaning of a sentence in JW Bible. Very deceitful. Little g gods are demons and angels and judges and idols..... Remember, this is a spiritual realm we are addressing. For a brief time that the Lord Jesus came to the earth in a human body then it is written He was below the angels..for that time only. Remember God is Triune, Father God sent the Son and the Holy Spirit as they have always been with Him and He chose to reveal Himself to us through Christ and the Holy Spirit, as they are One. We read in Luke 9 where while on earth Jesus spoke with Moses and Elijah and Yahweh, Father God, spoke from Heaven about His son, 🤯 I don't have all of the answers but I read and study the Word, I have faith in Jesus Christ as my personal Savior, my King, and my very best friend ❤ He is God John 10:30
@user-xo2mp4yf7b I never refused anything . I just don't understand your obsession with 2 verses. It's like you are hell bent on denying Jesus is God. I shared my testimony with you I know Him I have the Holy Spirit living inside of me I don't know what else to tell you, but I pray you see that Jesus the Christ is the Messiah who is Yeshua Hamashiach who is God BIG G 🥳🥳🥳🥳 Peace be with you on your journey
My goodness my brother you have the patience of a saint! I can't believe you were Muslim and now have found your way to Jesus! Praise God for you, you show so much love trying everything you can to make them see! You are certainly about His work on earth, and I'm proud to call you my brother! I wish I could read the Greek for myself. I have to go back and forth to translate all the time. It's so very sad to see them arguing with you, all the JW's need prayer 🙏 from us so they don't ever have to hear those dreadful words (I never knew you)! I pray the Holy Ghost hits them like a train and they join the family ❤️🔥 God Bless you and yours
@@hereweare9096 the holy Ghost/spirit is part of the Trinity. The father, the son and the holy spirit. The holy Ghost was released after Jesus Christ's resurrection. So God released the spirit to help us know who God is and how to follow him. The holy spirit will speak to us through our minds with a thought or an idea or to lead us by making an impression in our hearts to do something or say something or even think something that is according to God's will. For example, if you're having a debate or see something happening and you get a strong urge or feeling to say something according to God (stand up for him, defend him etc) that feeling you're feeling is the holy spirit doing work. I believe the Trinity is all God. The father is God, the son is God (Jesus Christ) in human form and the holy spirit is the spirit of God. I hope that makes sense or helps you. God bless 🙏
@@hereweare9096 I literally just told you the power of the holy spirit. They are coequal. (John 17:20-21). “That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us” It is that perfect unity between the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost that binds these three into the oneness of the divine God. The actions of the Son and of the Holy Spirit manifest their equality in power with the Father. The Son and Holy Spirit reveal, sanctify, and save. They perform actions that God alone can accomplish. Their divinity is revealed particularly in this power: the works of God make visible “his eternal power and deity” (Rom 1:20)
A few years ago, a couple of JW women came to my house. One was clearly an older member and with her was clearly a newer member. So I began to share the true Gospel with them and they stayed for a half hour or more, unable to refute me. A week later, they came back, only this time they brought a man with them who was clearly one of their elder members. Again we spoke for almost an hour. The next week, this same leader returned, but with two different people with him. We discussed at length as I showed them things they were not aware of. This continued each week throughout the summer. Then covid hit, and put an end to their visits. But I did give them much to consider.
@WeatheredJewel Over the past 40 years, I have had many JWs knock on my door...and whether it is them or the Mormons, I always talk with them. In my experience, as I had previously stated, they come in twos and one does 90% of the talking. I've never come right out and asked, but I always assumed that the quieter of the two is the newer convert who is in training. So Weathered...did you become a Christian...or something else?
@@davidryan8547 That's surprising! Is there a Kingdom Hall in your town or region? If so, one would expect to occasionally get a visit from JWs, because they believe that evangelism is a work which aids in their salvation. Though scripture is clear that your works have nothing to do with gaining salvation. As for Mormons...it's been many years since I've seen any of them around. Are you saved?
@@mbgrafix Yeah I know there are a couple of Mormon churches here though i think the closest temple is another state away....as for JW's they have a Hall 5 minutes from my house as it turns out. I just looked it up lol. As for whether or not I am saved. I don't know. While I do not think works get you in and I do think it is about faith, I don't know if my fruit reflects the faith I thought I had.
God bless you for what you’re doing!You’re planting those seeds! If Lydia could just step outside the JW literature her eyes would be opened. It happened to me 9 years ago. I did some research on the Trinity and the Truth came flooding in. That following week I disassociated myself as a JW and a formal letter to the Elders at my local Kingdom Hall, as well as the Watchtower headquarters in New York. Now I’m saved by faith not works!
Sneaky guy blurred out the houses, cars.. 😮 but not Jehovah's Witnesses. They follow JESUS, but like Jesus did, they pray, and give all glory to Jehovah. There's 30.000 Christian religions.. JWs are the most peaceful, God loving and respectful people. Jesus saith i have Other Sheeps. So don't be self-righteous. Learn from them, be respectful, praise Jehovah as Jesus did 🙏
He is not being "sneaky",... he is being a good neighbor and respectful of his neighbor's privacy. JW's teach a works based salvation which is a lie. Period. The notion that they are nice people, notwithstanding. The Gospels ARE offensive. Jesus is offensive! BUT Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. You want to be offended and have eternal life or be misled and be lost??? Why did the watchtower purposefully and wilfully CHANGE their translation from the Greek??? Only ONE REASON YOU ADD TO OR TAKE AWAY from God's Word,... and that is to support a false doctrine and retain control of your cult. A simple Google search of the watchtower will render DOZENS of false prophecies,... predictions,... and changed doctrines all from watchtower publications! Offended yet??? And before you decide how "nice" these people are,... keep in mind they are jw "publishers" and they are out there only because they have to try to EARN their way to a 2nd, 3rd, 4th class ticket to "somewhere"!!! Noteworthy how TRUTH can often be "offensive".
the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of Jehovah’s Witnesses was registered as a partner NGO of the United Nations for 10 solid years! We all know the UN is part of Satan's kingdom.
@@jonesjones4277 I always pray for guidance the trinity doctrine is directly from Babylonian doctrine which Roman catholics adopted to appease the Roman pagans.
Three against one and they couldn’t stand up to biblical truth. It’s interesting that JWs only want to study and point people to Watchtower books instead of Scripture itself, which seems to take precedence even over the original languages. Unfortunately, for them the Bible is used mostly as a reference to back up their books. I am praying that at least one of them comes back. Great job. Your videos are helping many people.
It looks like there's still hope for Lydia, toward the end she kept the conversation going a bit. I think there's a spark there, where she wants to know for herself. There's so much ingrained groupthink for JW's, especially when together like that, it can be a bit of pack mentality. So it takes some guts for her to be willing to engage at all. Here's hoping she/they come to the light to know the Real Jesus for who He is.
@@hereweare9096 I also believe Jesus when He identified Himself to the Jews: "Before Abraham was I AM" (John 8:58). The translators of the Septuagint (Hebrew to Greek) translated the words of God "I AM" in Exodus 3:14 into the exact same Greek words found in the Greek interlinear for "I AM" in John 8:58. Unfortunately, the New World Translation renders John 8:58 "I have been" instead of "I AM," which is an unfortunate, intentional mistranslation. If they were honest and consistent in their translations they would have rendered Exodus 3:14 "And God said to Moses I HAVE BEEN WHO I HAVE BEEN..."
Listen my friend. ANY church that’s says you need to go to their church or be a member to have eternal life? RUN! It’s a cult. Any church you go to ask the head person this question. If ANY answer is not Jesus alone to have eternal life? Then it’s a cult. What they are saying Jesus isn’t enough, you need Jesus + their church for eternal life. THATS BLASPHEMY! Acts 4:12
God bless! I am praying for you! I recommend the book of John loved one! Jesus can never love you more or less than He does right now! Salvation is a free gift from the Lord through Jesus🫶❤️🥹
Oh that's awesome! I'm so happy for you! Just keep steady fast in the word and prayer and you will be okay, search around for a good scripture based church.. that's what I'm currently doing right now.
I’ve been praying for my older brother for over 30 years and we finally had a discussion and even though he is an elder and goes door to door every week he has no answers for any of the scriptures quoted on this video that prove Jesus Christ is God, I will continue to pray and ask Our Lord to remove the false indoctrination and save his soul
Jesus was crucified because He said to the Scribes that ''I AM'' (YHWH), and they said that Jesus had committed blasphemy by calling Himself God, and now they had a reason to kill Him!
An angel is anyone or anything that preaches Gods message. Some examples. The Bible is an angel, Moses was an angel, Elijah was an angel, you are an angel. Arch means the firstborn. Before God created anything else, he made Yashuah [God is my Salvation (Jesus)] whose real name is Michael (Who is like God). How can God be anyone’s salvation if Michael was made before man who needs salvation? Also John 1:1 is a huge mistranslation. Michael was made by God and everyother angel by Michael. That is why in Proverbs Michael is said to be the masterworker of God. He isn’t God but is if the same essence of God (the Father). All angels are “gods” but not “God” For example, Satan is a god. Hope this clears up any confusion.
Well done brother I love your videos, my mom and her side of the family Jehovah’s Witnesses, and I came to know the truth all glory be to God and everything you’re saying is 100% accurate.
"..., and the Word was a god." Why the NWT put "a" article before god in John 1:1c when Koine Greek did not use such before "theos"/god? First of, Koine Greek has not yet recognized articles such as "a" and "an" in its dialect. But the Coptic Greek in the 3rd century standardized the indefinite article, which is the first translated language by Greek-speaking Christians in Egypt, who were the direct descendants following Jesus's earthly ministry. It's a crucial period because the Coptic Greek had not yet been adulterated by the pagan Trinity of the 4th century, with the Nicene Creed endorsed personally by the Roman Emperor. Also, the usage of article "a" in John 1:1c, suffices John 1:1b wherein "theon"/God was written in accusative case w/c required the translators to put "with" before God.

For over a year, a Jehova's Witness elder has visited my home every Wednesday. We go over the "lessons" in a Watchtower publication and watch videos that accompany the text. I do not debate, knowing the futility, but allow him to take the role of "teacher". With that, I am able to question the publication as its taught. Many times I point out the contradiction in both the publication, and the NWT. The response is typically the same, "I'll have to look into that." I use old Watchtower publications against the organization which clearly show contradictions, but the response is, "I'll have to look into that." They are indoctrinated into a cult, so they have a cult mindset. Only God can open their hearts. The most that can be done is to plant seeds of doubt in their minds, which, if they reject, will be used against them on the day of judgment. Sad.
@@joytoyouandme4593 That is the only way to approach one who has been indoctrinated into the organization. When they knock on your door, they will arrive as one who believes they have the truth; so, if you immediately encroach upon their error, you will close the door on your opportunity. Put it this way, if you knocked on someone's door, attempting to give them the gospel, and they immediately say, "You are wrong and I am right! You are going to hell with your heresy!" How would you respond? But if they let you in, and showed you, through your own teaching, that there are obvious errors, then you are held accountable.
@@eternalsecurityofthesaints9581 why do Trinitarians no mater what denomination, think that they are always scripturally right? The trinity is a man made lie made up 300 years after Jesus left the earth. Someone prove to me that the holy spirit is a person. No third person makes the trinity a big fat lie.
@@Lettruthbetold Trinity is the doctrinal position that one God is three Persons, which scripture clearly describes. Scripture is not going to use the term Trinity, but scripture will use the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. To make the point in a term people could understand, the term Trinity was coined.
The Son of God is not Yahweh. The Son of God is literally The Son of God. Christianity is not built on Jesus being God. It is built on Jesus being the Son of God and dying to reconcile mankind back to God. I wish Christians would stop using names for Jesus that are not in their Bible. He isn't the "God man" or "God the son". He is the Son of God as the scriptures say.
They are more committed to their denomination than the truth. It is sad to see as they are truly missing out on experiencing the fullness of who the Messiah truly is 🙏🏾

But the Coptic Greek in the 3rd century standardized the indefinite article, which is the first translated language by Greek-speaking Christians in Egypt, who were the direct descendants following Jesus's earthly ministry.

Yes but the diamond he is sharing our fake. Not real. A real diligent study of the Bible exposes this. God is not a triplex God. And Jesus always has someone who is God to him. Jehovah is His Name the Most High. (Psalm 83:18)
@@NickHawaii Yes, my friend. I believe it is true what you say, that we should be diligent in our studies! In fact, I think you & I can agree that we continue to learn of His beautiful mysteries throughout the days we are granted here on earth. So many wonderful things to unpack, as He reveals Himself to us through His blessings.. 🤲 I consider it an honor that you would engage with the comment I left and this may be another great moment for me to learn something! Our God has many titles/ names as we study the scriptures, and thankfully He knows our hearts when we speak to Him, no.. With that, I personally don't see the need to get wrapped up in these phrases mankind uses to decipher & formulate our Lord, such as "triplex" as you put it.. These kinds of things only cause division & unnecessary quarreling amongst all of us who are students of God, no? Is not all of His divine nature & characteristics worthy of praise & worship. No matter the means in how He's decided to reach out to us, or teach us.. Acts 1:7,8 Peace be with you my friend!
@@NickHawaii you are so brainwashed that you cannot understand that he is not saying that it is a single being transforming Himself into Father, Son and Holy Ghost when it suits Him
@@diaskent829 Such insults don’t work on me. I go by what is verifiable in scripture nowhere does it say three persons are one being or God. One is God to the other. Jesus is the Son of the Living God. Not the second person of a trinity. That idea is foreign in scripture.
@@NickHawaii who but God can forgive sin? Can an angel forgive sin? The Jews in Jesus's time became really upset with Him when He told the man that his sins were forgiven. Theg wanted to destroy Him because , in their understanding, only God could forgive sin. They thought Jesus blasphemed. Did He?
Haven’t seen Jehovah’s Witnesses want to leave so fast . I remember when I used to go to Beaty school every morning at the bus stop , someone wants to talk to me even though my bus is coming they don’t want me to get on 😂 some even gets on the bus with you lol . God bless this man he knows our lord and not backing down amen 🙏
I love this Proverb that describes this interaction perfectly. “The first one to plead his cause seems right, Until his neighbour comes and examines him.” Proverbs 18:17.
That lady sounded very rude. When she asked were you jewish. Oh dear. I am an ex JW and I completely get what you were saying but they cannot acceot anything that is not taught by the Watchtower. You are very knowledgeable and actually have educated me so I thank you. You are correct we were taught that anybody who had lots of questions that we could not answer to walk away and find others who were more likely to listen. Take care
That woman when speaking of the Jews that were hostile and wanted to stone Jesus for declaring himself God they can’t see that they are doing the same thing….modern day Pharisees
Yeshua is NOT Yahweh God! This is silly, who sent Jesus? Whose will did Jesus follow Mark 14:36? God can not die...somebody had to die or we have no new covenant! Jesus like a Lamb died and on the 3rd day, GOD raised the dead Jesus Romans 10:9. If you do not believe it, you are condemned. Who called Jesus to Heaven and where does Jesus set? Hebrews 12:2 On the Right Hand of God! Hmmm...ok, read: 18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Given...power and authority is given to him, by who? Who gave him power and authority? God! 3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. Do you really think Satan would lead God into the wilderness to tempt him? God can not be tempted by satan! James 1:13 kjv 24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me. Hmmm NOT MY SAYING...but you say he's God! Lets read Hebrews 1:1-2 Ahhhhh now we know! 2 Corinthians 5:19 and Acts 10:38 and soooo many more! When does Jesus return? Mark 13:32-37 God knows all!!! What is Jesus, He is the New Covenant, we have to accept HIM and he is the ONLY WAY! Acts 2:22-23 and Deuteronomy 18:15 & 18-19 and Acts 3:22-26 and John 14:6 kjv. No, Jesus is NOT God....Jesus tells us Mark 12:29-30 kjv. First read all the scripture posted before you post a reply telling me Jesus is God when scripture clearly tells us different. Peace!
I pray for my mother, father and friends who are in this organisation. Their community is closely entwined and I can see it will take the revelation of God himself to free them from these lies. I will use the insights in your vid the next time I am able to speak to them about this. This is a powerful ministry! Thank you.
What group on earth resemble true Christianity closer than the international Christian congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses. I have searched. There isn’t any. If there is please show me. Where are they?
@@NickHawaii You are indeed correct. They do resemble Christianity and they do it exceptionally well. Loving, kind, hospitable, family oriented, zealous and faithful witnesses... I could go on. Unfortunately, resemblance is not the real deal. Resemblance is counterfeit. Resemblance is not truth. I mean no disrespect and have no intention of starting a keyboard war. I love JW's. I wish you the very best ❤.
@@lab9998 Not true. If one resembles God that is a good thing. We don’t do it perfectly but as close as we can. You know what I meant. Anyways, no one has ever shown me anything better. Lots of criticism but nothing that can replace what we have found among Jehovah’s people. But thanks for your comment. Take care!
@@NickHawaii What are you talking about, there are many that are closer to Christianity in their teachings, doctrines & practices. Jws slaves do not even consider themselves Christians because they're indoctrinated to believe that Christ isn't their mediator, but they go about merely as members of a religious cult regurgitating the distorted gospel of Watchtower. They are set to make slaves for Watchtower, not disciples for Jesus Christ. What part of these Jws are preaching Christ & the good news of the gospel to people? That's why Jws don't know Jesus, because 99% of their indoctrination has been about the name "Jehovah" & "Jehovah's organization", the cult tower governed by 8 men who claim that every jw slave should completely trust their words the same way they trust Jesus & the Father. That is heresy!! What part of Christianity in the time of the apostles and the early church, gathered to reject the body of Christ & called it the "Memorial" of Jesus Christ? Are you a Jw? Is Christ your mediator? The Watchtower is a religious cult that presents their distortion of the gospel as a narrative of Watchtower, which more so points people to the organization as a means of being saved. Their distorted bible supports their narrative of God's kingdom that they publish in their literature, all fables and heresies like Jw slaves having to clean up the earth after Armageddon and an unrighteous like a homosexual will return and have any chance to learn the way of Jehovah by way of the witnesses. Watchtower org is closer to a religious cult than a sect of Christianity!!
@NickHawaii Thank you. I hear you, and your point is taken. But this was the point of my original comment... because your community is "closely entwined" (and I have experienced it, and it is lovely), it makes it harder for people to see the real truth, because of all that they will lose. In the video, the scriptures were plain to see, the original greek was plain to see, but they didn't want to see it because they had too much to lose. Similar to those who leave Islam, I imagine. The relationships and friendships are real, I'm not knocking that, but that should not override the pursuit of genuine biblical truth. Tbh I was actually surprised that a Wiitness would even watch these videos because the ones I know are guided by the elders not to watch videos like this. But sincerely, I wish you all the best. Thank you for respectful dialogue ❤️! Editing to add, genuine disciples of Jesus, who love the way Yeshua (Jesus) demonstrated love, are the embodiment of Christianity. I am blessed to be in such a congregation of believers!
They can’t handle thinking for themselves, but only follow what is being spoon fed to them. That’s why it’s so important to read and study for yourself. You were so patient, even when they were team gaslighting you. Good job!
@@tobeornottobe50the reason u don't have the God is bc it's referring to two distinct persons. Anyhow u twist it, God was the word can never be n the word was a god.
Please understand this, it is not always about being afraid to learn the the scriptures accurately, it is about the massive mental shift that occurs when you realize you've been lied to and you've wasted years of your life in that mindset. After that, you have to decide if you'll walk away from all that. Because it's a cult, that's not so easy. These people have their entire lives wrapped up in their religion. They risk losing their jobs, kids, spouses, etc I know this because I'm ex-mormon. There are many people who pretend to be Mormon because they cannot risk losing a job or getting a divorce and losing their kids. When I found out all the dirty secrets of the LDS cult, it was a massive betrayal. I didnt sleep for weeks. When I stopped going to church that's when the harassment started. They harassed me, my neighbors, my family. I had to go through therapy to unravel the indoctrination, guilt, and shame. That's how that church makes you feel, like you're never good enough, no matter how much you dedicate yourself to the church. When I left the LDS cult I became atheist. The whole thing left a bad taste in my mouth. On 11/25/23 Jesus Christ spoke to me and he healed me. I'm not the same person anymore. That experience completely changed me. Praise Jesus Christ, the one TRUE god!
@@annastinehammersdottir1290 you have got to be kidding. This guy does not know his Bible he has rehearsed over and over the same scriptures. My sisters have more patience than I would have with the so called “Bible Scholar” 😂 If god is 3x1=1 Please explain each one of these. John 10:36 Jesus Christ said: "I am God's Son." John 14:28, RS: “[Jesus said:] If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because “I go to the Father” ; ((why) for the Father is greater than I.” 1 Cor. 11:3, RS: “I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is her husband, and the “head of Christ is God.” (Clearly, then, Christ is not God, and God is of superior rank to Christ. It should be noted that this was written about 55 C.E., some 22 years after Jesus returned to heaven. 1 Cor. 15:27, 28 RS: “‘God has put all things in subjection under his [Jesus’] feet.’ But when it says, ‘All things are put in subjection under him,’ it is plain that he is excepted who put all things under him. When all things are subjected to him, then “the Son himself will” (what)”also be subjected to him” (by who) “who put all things under him,” that God may be everything to every one.” John 10:17This is why the Father loves me, because I surrender my life, so that I may receive it again. 18 No man takes it away from me, but I surrender it of my own initiative. I have authority to surrender it, and I have authority to receive it again. This commandment I received from (from who) my Father. John 20:31 But these have been written down so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and because of believing, you may have life by means of his name. John 15:21“They will do all these things against you on account of my name, because they do not know the One [Jehovah God] that sent me.” John 1:14 So the Word became flesh and resided among us, and we had a view of his glory, a glory such as belongs to an only-begotten sent from a father; Definition: be•get be get | ba'get | verb (begets, begetting; past begot | ba'gat | or archaic begat | ba'gat | ; past participle begotten | ba'gätn | ) [with object] literary 1 (typically of a man, sometimes of a man and a woman) bring (a child)into existence by the process of reproduction: And if John 1:1 explains the trinity where is the holy spirit ? Why is Holy Spirit not mentioned. I’ll tell you why because it is God’s power or active force. (The Most High)power. This is evident by what the angel told Mary at Luke 1:I In answer the angel said to her: “Holy spirit will come upon you, and power of the Most High will overshadow you. And for that reason the one who is born will be called holy, God’s Son.”and at Acts 1:8 it says You will receive power when the holy spirit arrives upon you, and you will be witnesses of me both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the most distant part of the earth.” Clearly this shows that Holy Spirit is not a person but Gods power.
In my opinion, trying to argue the greek with non greek speakers is not the proper way to get this point across(as we see in the video). Picking single verses out of the bible which show Jesus is God, will easily be refuted by other verses which by face value look like Jesus is not claiming to be God. Since he brought up the king james version, I would of loved for you to ask them why the king james version (john 1:1) does not match their own translation. You can then ask them if speaking to spirit mediums is allowed in God's eyes (lev 19:31). Then ask them if they are aware their john 1:1 translation comes from a spirit medium. Do research on Johannes Greber he was the reason for their mistranslated john 1:1.
So all of those are from the same “spirit medium”?? 1808: "and the Word was a god" - Thomas Belsham The New Testament, in an Improved Version, Upon the Basis of Archbishop Newcome’s New Translation: With a Corrected Text, London. 1822: "and the Word was a god" - The New Testament in Greek and English (A. Kneeland, 1822.) 1829: "and the Word was a god" - The Monotessaron; or, The Gospel History According to the Four Evangelists (J. S.

Young, 1885) 1911: "and [a] God was the word" - The Coptic Version of the New Testament in the Southern Dialect, by George William Horner. 1958: "and the Word was a god" - The New Testament of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Anointed (J. L. Tomanec, 1958); 1978: "and godlike sort was the Logos" - Das Evangelium nach Johannes, by Johannes Schneider, Berlin
You cant make them reach the logic because they are not aware that concept PERSON doesn't mean human. Understand this: PERSON DOESN'T MEAN PEOPLE OR HUMAN! Person is that what is aware and has will! The best name for that is HYPOSTASIS
This is very well done. Thank you for sharing and studying Greek to bring about truth and how translations can lead many astray. I’d love to hear your testimony about your conversion from being a Muslim.
JW translates Bible to suite their belief, just like Mohammed switched the role of Isaac and Ismail to make it like Ismail and his offring Arabian as a chosen one instead of Jew in Quran. JW is not Christian.

God bless you brother for protecting your neighbors from error, and actually trying to snatch those brands from hell fire. God is using your ministry to inspire others (myself included) to study the word harder. I know a lot of the content of the Bible but I'm just not the best at remembering chapter and verse locations if that makes sense, but I still want to learn the Greek and Hebrew. It's a lot of work but sadly our society stopped educating our children from the bible and look at the mess we're in, and now as a nearly middle aged man I am having to learn what I should have decades years ago.
BLB - the blue letter bible can be helpful. I use it for topics; Example JESUS CHRIST IS THE ROCK. I type rock - then i read the instances of rock, and Rock for JESUS CHRIST. Then have someone read it. I type stone, Right hand Etc. Getting people to read for themselves from GOD'S word is powerful, it's what convicted me. Our brother here in this video, is a great blessing, he has the courage and conviction to share the truth of JESUS CHRIST. For you - be encouraged! See you in heaven!
You do a great work in sharing the scriptures both in english and the greek. Unfortunately those whom want to believe the lie cannot hear the Truth when it is clearly shared.
You are correct, they are taught to break contact and move on, they will mark that you are "uninterested" and will not return if they don't think there is progress to be made. They attend a weekly meeting where they are taught a strict strategy to address these common debates.
You are fortunate to have a witness as a best friend. Clearly, his congregation doesn't know about that relationship. They are not supposed to keep company with non-witness
Your patience and persistence is commendable brother. I need to spend time in the scriptures for I would not know how to share the word like you do in these situations. Didn't the disciples also ask Jesus to show them the father and to which he responded, "Have I not been with you all this time... "
Yes. And when people saw God (tetragrammaton) in the Old Testament they were actually seeing Jesus. You can't see God unless Jesus (the exact image of God) shows him. Moses his sons and 70 elders of Israel saw God, also Abraham, Jacob, and others.
I give them credit for learning. The sad part is they get the wrong information. They don't want to search it out for themselves. They keep going back to the church. So sad

The 3 of them together cant answer the one question that answers it all. They clearly felt pressured and wanted to flee. Thank you brother for sharing with them, and teaching us.
Here are some scriptures that are often used to support the argument that Jesus is God, countering the Jehovah’s Witness belief that Jesus is not God: 1. John 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 2. John 10:30 I and My Father are one. 3. John 20:28 And Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!" 4. Colossians 2:9 For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. 5. Philippians 2:5-6 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God. 6. Titus 2:13 Looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ. 7. Hebrews 1:8 But to the Son He says: "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom." 8. Revelation 1:8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End," says the Lord, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty." These passages highlight the divinity of Jesus, affirming that He is indeed God according to Christian doctrine as reflected in the New King James Version of the Bible.
That’s referring to those who claim to be Christian but are wolves in sheep’s clothing - not the lost or those from other religions who are unknowingly deceived - how else could we witness to them.
@@kickpublishing How many JW's who claim to be Christian does one have to encounter and submit to you to fit into your little ill-founded attempt at a rebuke or … 'correction'?

I had an extended interaction with what was probably an elder - he knew his stuff. The thing with JW’s is that they will proof-text all day long (using specific passages whose interpretation does not contextually fit within the WHOLE counsel of scripture) and they will continually move the goalposts once you refute one of their points. One of the biggest issues (and there are a TON) with the JW’s is that their very foundations (like the Mormons) are founded upon the teachings of FALSE PROPHETS who fail the test of a true prophet in Deuteronomy 18:22. The guy that I was talking to refused to answer why the founders of the JW (Charles Taze Russel, Judge Rutherford) made numerous false prophecies and yet were considered to have the one and only "truth". My question to him was “How can you base your eternity on a religion whose foundations are based on the revelations and teachings of people who fail the test of a true prophet and whom GOD SAYS "if the thing does not happen or come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him" and subsequently stone that man to death for speaking falsely in the name of God? He would not answer that question. The truth is right there for all to see; they refuse to see it because the cost is too high (shunning, disfellowship, etc). In the end, they fear man more than they do God - so they will go to hell for the sake of maintaining their toxic relationships with people as woefully deceived as they are. To anyone trapped in this horrible religion, I would implore you to remember something: The truth welcomes honest scrutiny and examination. It welcomes the light, it welcomes testing. Deception does not. People who do not enthusiastically demand that you thoroughly examine your own beliefs, and punish you if you do, are NOT leading you into any form of truth, period. Liars do that. Deceivers do that. Satan does that. If the foundation of a religion is based on lies and deception (so much so that you have to create your own version of the Bible, something EXPRESSLY FORBIDDEN BY GOD [see Revelation 22:18-19]) how on earth do you expect to get anything but lies and deception out of it?

Please how can one get Original GreeK manuscript and Hebrew Manuscripts? Is there App or can it be purchased?
YHWH or JHVH. These four-consonant words are commonly called the Tetragrammaton, or Tetragram, derived from two Greek words meaning “four letters.” Now the question of accurate pronunciation arises because early Hebrew writing consisted of consonants with no vowels to guide the reader. So whether the pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton becomes Yahweh or Jehovah depends on which vowels the reader supplies to the four consonants. Today many Hebrew scholars prefer Yahweh as the true pronunciation.
However, consistency favors Jehovah. In what way? The pronunciation Jehovah has been accepted in English for centuries. Those who object to using this pronunciation should also object to the use of the accepted pronunciation Jeremiah and even Jesus. Jeremiah would need to be changed to Yir•meyahʹ or Yir•meyaʹhu, the original Hebrew pronunciations, and Jesus would become Ye•shuʹaʽ (Hebrew) or I•e•sousʹ (Greek). Hence, many Bible students, including Jehovah’s Witnesses, feel that consistency favors the use of the already well-known English-language “Jehovah” and its equivalent in other languages.
Why does the New World Translation use the form “Jehovah”? In English, the four letters of the Tetragrammaton (יהוה) are represented by the consonants YHWH. As was true of all written words in ancient Hebrew, the Tetragrammaton contained no vowels. When ancient Hebrew was in everyday use, readers easily provided the appropriate vowels.
About a thousand years after the Hebrew Scriptures were completed, Jewish scholars developed a system of pronunciation points, or signs, by which to indicate what vowels to use when reading Hebrew. By that time, though, many Jews had the superstitious idea that it was wrong to say God’s personal name out loud, so they used substitute expressions. Thus, it seems that when they copied the Tetragrammaton, they combined the vowels for the substitute expressions with the four consonants representing the divine name. Therefore, the manuscripts with those vowel points do not help in determining how the name was originally pronounced in Hebrew. Some feel that the name was pronounced “Yahweh,” whereas others suggest different possibilities. A Dead Sea Scroll containing a portion of Leviticus in Greek transliterates the divine name Iao. Besides that form, early Greek writers also suggest the pronunciations Iae, I•a•beʹ, and I•a•ou•eʹ. However, there is no reason to be dogmatic. We simply do not know how God’s ancient servants pronounced this name in Hebrew. (Genesis 13:4; Exodus 3:15) What we do know is that God used his name repeatedly in communication with his people, that they addressed him by that name, and that they used it freely in speaking with others.-Exodus 6:2; 1 Kings 8:23; Psalm 99:9.
The first rendering of God’s personal name in an English Bible appeared in 1530 in William Tyndale’s translation of the Pentateuch. He used the form “Iehouah.” Over time, the English language changed, and the spelling of the divine name was modernized. For example, in 1612, Henry Ainsworth used the form “Iehovah” throughout his translation of the book of Psalms. Then, in 1639, when that work was revised and printed with the Pentateuch, the form “Jehovah” was used. In 1901, the translators who produced the American Standard Version of the Bible used the form “Jehovah” where the divine name appeared in the Hebrew text.
Explaining why he used “Jehovah” instead of “Yahweh” in his 1911 work Studies in the Psalms, respected Bible scholar Joseph Bryant Rotherham said that he wanted to employ a “form of the name more familiar (while perfectly acceptable) to the general Bible-reading public.” In 1930 scholar A. F. Kirkpatrick made a similar point regarding the use of the form “Jehovah.” He said: “Modern grammarians argue that it ought to be read Yahveh or Yahaveh; but JEHOVAH seems firmly rooted in the English language, and the really important point is not the exact pronunciation, but the recognition that it is a Proper Name, not merely an appellative title like ‘Lord.’”

Exactly!
Praise Jesus! I am so happy for you brother in Christ.
Yes, it seems God only permitted "Allah" to create the Qu'ran if he included the verses below, so anyone who actually studied the Qu'ran can find the Truth. Many people who claim to be muslim say:
"Bible and Torah were corrupted/changed by men."
Which is in disagreement with their "Allah", who says:
1) "Torah and Bible are the word of God" (Surah 2:41, 3:3, 5:43-48).
2) "Words of God cannot be corrupted(change by men)" (Surah 6:115, 18:27).
3) Jesus says "I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life. No man can come to the Father except through me" (Bible, John 14:6).
4) If you believe the Qu'ran, you must then believe the Bible, which then cancels the Qu'ran.

Another verse I really like:
John 20:28 and 29
Jesus never said Thomas was wrong for calling him God.
In fact, he said those who believe he (Jesus) is God but never saw
him (Jesus) are blessed to have such strong faith.
-Had no servants, yet they called him Master.
-Had no degree, yet they called him Teacher.
-Had no medicines, yet they called him Healer.
-He had no army, yet kings feared Him.
-He won no Wars, yet He conquered the world.
-He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him.
-He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today.

Who is Juan speaking to? It is the congregation who understood the divinity of Jesus, never as God the Majesty, so they could be spoken in that terminology without understanding that Jesus is God THE MAGESTY, EVEN when Jesus IS ALLOWED to receive GLORY AND HONOR that only belongs to THE MAGESTY AND THAT IT WAS NOT LIKE THIS, much less in the TIMES OF ISAIAS, UNTIL NOW that he gave his life as a sacrifice, and that I cannot be declared as such in the times of Isaiah, since that was not the message of justice that now after the death of Jesus, it would be. Paul understood it very well.
Hussein is an admitted former Muslim who converted to Christianity and he has better knowledge of scripture than most other Christians. He is someone the rest of the Christian community should model themselves after. Keep the faith, brother!

I was born and raised as one of Jehovah's witnesses. But Jesus Christ revealed himself to me. That He is LORD and GOD. And it is my prayer that they may receive that same revelation by the SPIRIT of GOD.
I rejoice for you as the angles in Heaven are that you have come to know Jesus. Im 51 and was born into jdub but i always knew it was wrong and a cult. My parents divorced when i was 7 and i fought against it until i was 16. I accepted Jesus as my savior and into my life in 2020 because i lost a cat that i dearly loved so much. He created my little Feral calico mix breed mutt Caley that i didnt know had FELV and im thankfull i had her for a little while. Let me assure you pets will be heaven cuz first time i felt the Holy Spirit was in prayer ( warm fuzzy imense love feeling with a small inner bright light that just expands and you just freeze up cuz its to intense and you cant handle him in full). Felt him 8 times so far. I read every book in the bible except psalms. Im only about half way through but ive read the other 65 books multiple times and ive had the pages jump out at me. Ive had multiple visions of Jesus and other things ( the Throne room was pretty cool ). And yes he has even talked ti me through scriptures but the really cool thing is when he answers questions through scripture or i ask a question one day and wake up the next with certain song lyrics fresh in my mind that answers the question. No its NOT Demons trying to mess with me because i question the spirits as we are told to do. Anyway so glad you got out of jws.
Why don't you use that verse? Where Jesus reveals Himself to saul... to the "witnesses"
ME TOO 2019
Amen. I too, was raised as a Jehovah witness but it always conflicted my spirit. After my husband (a Jehovah’s Witness) passed this this August, I decided to go into a fast for 10 days. During that fast I picked up the KJV and it revealed to me that Jesus is Lord and God. I am so thankful to him for revealing to me what I did not know for the entire 30 years of my life. I wish I could have shared this with my husband before his passing. He was disfellowshipped and suffered from depression from being shunned by everyone he knew, including his family. They didn’t even want to attend his funeral and talked me into cremating him for that reason. I Thank Jesus for saving my life from this religion.
Beautiful. Jesus is GOD Amen!!
As a native Greek from Greece, I can fully confirm that your teaching and interpretation of John 1:1 is accurate and Orthodox about the Greek text .
And the Greek text is crystal clear.
Just because you confirm the Greek is accurate does not mean the 'interpretation' of a part of something is accurate. Interpretations don't necessarily mean getting the sense of the meaning of something. Personal perceptions and desire to control outcomes is what stylize interpretations serve. When people get the same accurate understanding of a particular thought, then they all end up on the same page and in agreement to collaborate. Jesus was all about agreement and collaboration. Which cannot happen when everyone is interpreting their own way. Just look at the world's politics and religions...divisive because of language and personal interpretations.
@@cugrngneer the text is clear and accurate. There’s only one possible interpretation of the passage.
The text says that the Word was God. Not a God.
The whole point of the passage is to say that the Word is YHWH.
Who’s the Word?
We are in luck, because the following verses explain the mystery.
@@nikostheater "We are in luck, because the following verses explain the mystery." Where are they?
Do you mean "the text is clear and accurate" according to Your own understanding of ancient Greek, which King James's English translators translated from? Your understanding of Greek doesn't mean that the essence and understanding is being translated to the reader from ancient Hebrew to ancient Greek to middle ages English with accuracy or with collective agreement. Jesus promoted agreement among his followers regarding the Scriptures' message about him.
The Father/Son relationship is a fundamental relationship humans are able to conceptualize and associate with. "Let US make man in OUR image..." (Gen 1:26) In verse 27 it says, " And God went on to create the man in his image..." Father gets all the credit and glory, but son works side by side in the work reaping his own reward. Connections we can experience. We don't naturally conceptualize that we are made up of multiple people with separate free wills along with 3 way hierarchy occupying the same body including a spirit entity sidekick. Evidently, because we are not created in the image of anyone defined as a trinity. We are all given the dignity of individuality, personality and will...Like Jehovah and Jesus see themselves. People use John 1:1 as if the rest of the Bible is irrelevant without realizing they are doing it. Do you know this scripture? (2 Tim 3:15-17)
@@nikostheaterthe definite article depends on context just as in 2 cor 4:4 theos doesn't mean Almighty God but the god of this world john 1:1 is a god a mighty one

Εν αρχή ήν ο Λόγος και ο Λόγος ήν προς τον Θεόν και Θεός ήν ο Λόγος.
The verse literally is saying that the Word “Λόγος « is pre-existing, that the Word was with God and that the Word was God.
The verse equates the Word with YHWH.
It clarifies it further, because the Word is a creator of Creation along with God , to the point that EVERYTHING that was created, was created with the Word.
So the Word is pre-existing and also a Creator.
The whole point of the whole chapter is to point out that Λόγος is YHWH. The Elohim of Genesis 1:1.
I love the fact that you can control your tone, your emotion and your entire being when speaking to them. You do not get frustrated (or at least show frustration), you do not show angst or animosity.

Your first mistake is thinking you can reason with a witness. As an ex witness, it’s like beating your head on a brick wall. I loved how you kept taking them back to the authority, the original Greek. They’re not trained to reason that way. You’re a great teacher.
Usually if I ever bring up I know Greek the conversation stops and an elder will come by and after I tell them my theology degree and the issue with John 1:1 and they stop. Then come back every year and they smile and leave when I still live there.
How is this conversation going. continuing?
The sad thing is there was a time when they were taught to reason that way. I think it all started going downhill after Nathan H Norr. After him, the number of people that possessed that skill, just dwindled and dwindled. I think Franz was probably the last one who is a true master at it. The man was a genius. He was multilingual and counted Koine Greek among the languages he spoke. Anyway, Russell absolutely had nothing against debating people on biblical points. He frequently debated people using a Greek version called the Emphatic Diaglot which was an interlinear that was used before the Kingdom Interlinear was used. These days, they are discouraged from getting any sort of high-level education whatsoever, and positively forbidden from debating with anybody. Very few truly and deeply understand the points that they’re making with people as opposed to just repeating Word for Word what they are getting out of some of those publications. They only know the beaten path. They never stray from it.
@@MarcTelesha oh, oh, they would avoid you like the plague! 😆 I distinctly remember sitting in the audience about a decade ago during one of the meetings when the watchtower article for the week was being considered wherein they absolutely told us not to go digging in the Greek to try to second-guess the New World translation. We were told that even if we thought we understood it better, we didn’t. As a polyglot with several languages under my belt, and being fully acquainted with how easily things can be mistranslated when taken from one language to another, I remember being outraged by that stance. Anyway,you being trained and actually educated in the language would be far too much for them to handle.
Trust me, i was ignorant myself it took 8 yrs for my friend to invite me to church and i'm glad i did. It was hard for me to shed the old teachings, but truthfully everything i'm learning now about the word makes so much sense.
JWs like to think they are so spiritual but then reason in such a human way. They cannot abstract.
I’m an exJW and this is normal. They get stumped with a question that their Bible is wrong and they don’t have an answer. And they have to be right all of the time and always judge and say Christian’s are wrong. See how Lydia hesitated to even chat with him until he asked for further discussion. She said she would research it. She probably talked with an elder and he told her not to revisit this man’s house. And all they came back with was Big “G”, little “g”. They are not versed or understand scripture-I wasn’t either when I was JW. It’s sad. The indoctrination is crazy-it is false teachings.
I've only had one JW that was willing to reason.

18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

John 1:1,2; 1 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God.”
Is Jesus Christ God or the word of God? John 14:10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.
So Jesus said the words that He speak it’s not His words, but God’s words. Let’s see what God says in the Scriptures below:
Deuteronomy 18:18 I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brethren, and will put My words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him.
Isaiah 42:1 “Behold! My Servant whom I uphold, My Elect One in whom My soul delights! I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.
Matthew 3:17 And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
Now with the above Bible scriptures in mind let’s read, John 1:1 In the beginning was …… Jesus Christ…….the Word, and …… Jesus Christ…..the Word was with God, and the Word …… Jesus Christ spoke ……was God. 2 He…… Jesus Christ….. was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him…… Jesus Christ….., and without Him …… Jesus Christ…..nothing was made that was made. In Him ….. Jesus Christ,…. was life, and the life was the light of men.……. John 1:14 And the Word….. Jesus Christ…… became 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.
John 17:5
And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.

It is a teaching that came about 300 years after Jesus died. The following scriptures show that Jesus is not God.
John 14:28, RS: “[Jesus said:] If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I go to the Father; for the Father is greater than I.”
1 Cor. 11:3, RS: “I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.”
Holy Spirit is Gods (The Most High)power. This is evident by what the angel told Mary at Luke 1:I n answer the angel said to her: “Holy spirit will come upon you, and power of the Most High will overshadow you. And for that reason the one who is born will be called holy,l God’s Son.”and at Acts 1:8 it says You will receive power when the holy spirit arrives upon you, and you will be witnesses of me both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the most distant part of the earth.”
Clearly this shows that Holy Spirit is not a person but Gods power.

I sat next to a Jehovah's Witness on the plane yesterday, and he noticed the Bible I was reading. He brought up the New World Translation, which was new to me. We had a conversation about the Bible, and he tried to persuade me to consider the Jehovah's Witness doctrine. I saw it as an opportunity to share my faith, which had been my prayer (open doors of opportunity to being people to Jesus) Although I was grateful for the chance, I felt a bit uncomfortable/lost as to what to say. Today, I came across this helpful video that discussed Greek comparisons in the Bible, which I found beneficial. I'm unsure how it appeared in my feed, but I'm glad it did. The speaker was very skilled at delving into the Bible in detail, something I may not be able to do, but it was certainly insightful. Thank you.
In the old testament, you see the word being given a personality. Example in Genesis where the scripture says the word was walking in the garden. You may ask how can a word walk?
Genesis 3:8 KJV
And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.
It goes to show that the word from the beginning is a person. In the book of John 1, he wrote, and the word became man and lived among us. That mean the word of God put on flesh and dwelt with mankind for a while.
A person is what he says and what he does. The same way God is what he says abd what ge does. God's word is God Himself. You cannot separate God from his word. Thats is why Jesus being the word putting on flesh is God himself.
People may argue but the reason why Jesus kept referring to His Father is because his Father was in his fullness and Jesus being the word was only on an assignment to save the world. He had only one purpose where as all purposes was in God. Therefore you hear him say my father is greater than I.

Unfortunately you have been deceived by this page just because a person claims to know greek doesn’t mean they are being honest you do realise you all read from a bible that Omits Gods true Name. How can you claim enlightenment when your bible doesn’t contain the most MENTIONED NAME in the BIBLE JEHOVAH.
@RubenLheureux Do you realize that the watch tower has replaced the name of God with Jehova? YHWH...pronounced Yahweh is the closest to the Hebrew name of God that we have because God's ame was considered so sacred they would not even write it in its entirety and used to leave a letter out. Also you don't need to know Greek we live in amazing times which means you will be without excuse on judgment day. Anyone can take the original language Greek and translate it. The Bible in keeping with that translates Yahew to LORD in all capitals. Go check it out every time you se LORD in all caps it means Yahweh...nothing has been ommited and you have been lied to by the watch tower.
@@RubenLheureux Firstly, one doesn’t necessarily have to listen to someone who claims to know Greek when the internet is free. You can do your own research on the on both the Hebrew and Greek manuscripts of the Bible and see the truth.
Secondly, the most highest name of God is Yahweh, YHWH which is held at such a high standard that it was spelt short and used other names of God in respect for Him. One of the other names used was Adonai, which means My Lord. The letter J isn’t in the original text of the Bible. And the name Jehovah (Latin origins) was brought later as time progressed. Jehovah became a cross over between YHWH and the vowels from Adonai therefore before YaHoWaH. Later as the Latin language emerged becoming Jehovah. It is a beautiful name of God however, it is not the highest because its origin.
Absolutely love what you're doing!! More Christians should be doing this!! You're a beast with Scripture 👏

I know families are stripped apart I know it’s by far more like a cult because of the rules, I say this because you aren’t allowed to have your loved ones. You can not attend the Kingdom Hall without following the rules set by the elders, you must go to the hall, if you hold someone’s hand and your sitting there having to explain why you held their hand while courting etc.. I pray you get to seek the lord on your own so you can read the word and see dispensations, if not it’s very sad life to think you can be part of the 144 , you know darn well what is said when you knock on doors or send letters is water down non sense! What is really happening is
You’ll never get single Jehovah’s Witness who, when on the door to door ministry, tell the householder:
“Armageddon is coming! We know this because Satan was thrown out of heaven in October 1914 and started WWI three months after it had already happened. Jesus is really an angel and the United Nations is going to ban religion any day now. Only 144,000 can go to heaven, and the rest are going to turn into immortal vegetarians who will live in a “cleansed” socialist caliphate on earth after our governing body (in heavenly form) and Michael the archangel have ethnically cleansed non-Jehovah’s Witnesses from it. Wanna join?” That’s the thing I know there’s hope not to live I fear every moment that your not going to be counted as worthy, I know the days were in, and history lead me far away from the 144k no way would the lord create billions an billions of beautiful people in his image to throw them away like that, but of course you an everyone who follows religions can do as you please, but you can’t convert someone that has studied the scriptures without being told what they say. god bless I pray you find a way to have peace in your heart while your in the hall

How did you become a Christian?
I have neighbors who are JW. What’s the best way to witness to them?
As being raised as Jehovah Witnesses it’s sad seeing how stuck in mentality the people who follow it are. They read misguided, misinformed, and misleading text that can make someone who doesn’t know better blindly follow. I am glad that once I graduated high school and left the house I started doing my own research and started to think for myself. They are usually the most respectful people but it’s the mindset that will close their ears off to the true word. I will pray for them in Jesus’s name 🙏🏾
Meaning no offence, I often ask how many people are muslims because they are afraid not to be. I see similar with the JW's.
Bible translator William Barclay writes:
“Now normally, except for special reasons, Greek nouns always have the definite article in front of them, . . . When a Greek noun has not got the article in front of it, it becomes rather a description than an identification, and has the character of an adjective rather than of a noun. We can see exactly the same in English. If I say: ‘James is the man’, then I identify James with some definite man whom I have in mind; but, if I say: ‘James is man’, then I am simply describing James as human, and the word man has become a description and not an identification. If John had said ho theos ēn ho logos, using a definite article in front of both nouns, then he would definitely have identified the logos [the Word] with God, but because he has no definite article in front of theos it becomes a description, and more of an adjective than a noun. The translation then becomes, to put it rather clumsily, ‘The Word was in the same class as God, belonged to the same order of being as God ‘. . . . John is not here identifying the Word with God. To put it very simply, he does not say that Jesus was God.”-Many Witnesses, One Lord (1963), pages 23, 24.

Interesting, did you manage to actually read the ENTIRE citation, of course you didnt JWs dont do research, they let 9 men in a forest do it for them.
you put up there verbatim as per Watchtower....lets now finish it.
sentences in brackets are what you left out as did the cult.
[In a matter like this, we cannot do other than to go to the Greek, which is theos en ho logos. Theos is the Greek word for God, en for was, ho for the, logos for word. Now normally, except for special reasons, Greek nouns always have the definite article in front of them, *and we can see at once here that theos the noun for God has not got the definite article in front of it*.]
When a Greek noun has not got the article in front of it, it becomes rather a description than an identification, and has the character of an adjective than of a noun. We can see exactly the same in English. If I say, "James is the man," then I identify James with some definite man whom I have in mind; but if I say: "James is man", then I am simply describing James as human, and the word man has become a description and not an identification.

The translation then becomes, to put it rather clumsily, "The Word was in the same class as God, belonging to the same order of being as God."
[The only modern translator who fairly and squarely faced this problem is Kenneth Wuest, who has: "The Word was as to his essence essential deity." But it is here that the NEB has brilliantly solved the problem with the absolutely accurate rendering: "What God was the Word was]." John is not here identifying the Word with God. To put it very simply, he does not say that Jesus was God'"
['"God himself took this human flesh upon him." (William Barclay; Many Witnesses, One Lord, p27) ]
BARCLAY WAS REFUTING MODALISM - NOT TRINITARISM!!!!!
How deceitful of you. Just like WATCHTOWER.
When Barclay says in his book, Many Witnesses, One Lord: "John is not here identifying the Word with God. To put it very simply, he does not say that Jesus was God", Barclay is refuting Modalism. Modalism states that the Father and the Son are the same person. Barclay is saying, with our brackets added for emphasis, "John is not here identifying the Word with God [the person of the Father]. To put it very simply, he does not say that Jesus was God [the person of the Father]". Jehovah's Witnesses deliberately confuse their readers by misinterpreting anti-Modalist comments. Such is the "deception of wickedness".
When Barclay says in his book, Many Witnesses, One Lord: "The Word was in the same class as God, belonging to the same order of being as God." It is obvious that Barclay is viewing that Jesus is just as much VERY God as the Father.
In Barclay's letter to Shoemaker, he says, "that he is of the same stuff as God, that is of the same being as God" which is echoing the Athanasian creed
@@vivofilms
Letter written by William Barclay to Donald Shoemaker of Biola College after Shoemaker informed Barclay how the Watchtower had misquoted him:
Dear Professor Donald Shoemaker,
Thank you for your letter of August 11th. The Watchtower article has, by judicious cutting, made me say the opposite of what I meant to say. What I was meaning to say, as you well know, is that Jesus is not the same as God, to put it more crudely, that he is of the same stuff as God, that is of the same being as God, but the way the Watchtower has printed my stuff has simply left the conclusion that Jesus is not God in a way that suits themselves.
If they missed from their answer the translation of Kenneth Wuest and the N.E.B., they missed the whole point.
It was good of you to write and I don't think I need say anything more to make my position clear.
With every good wish.
Yours Sincerely
William Barclay.

Holy Ghost? What do you believe that to be?
@@hereweare9096 the holy Ghost/spirit is part of the Trinity. The father, the son and the holy spirit. The holy Ghost was released after Jesus Christ's resurrection. So God released the spirit to help us know who God is and how to follow him. The holy spirit will speak to us through our minds with a thought or an idea or to lead us by making an impression in our hearts to do something or say something or even think something that is according to God's will.
For example, if you're having a debate or see something happening and you get a strong urge or feeling to say something according to God (stand up for him, defend him etc) that feeling you're feeling is the holy spirit doing work.
I believe the Trinity is all God. The father is God, the son is God (Jesus Christ) in human form and the holy spirit is the spirit of God.
I hope that makes sense or helps you.
God bless 🙏
@@MrsYarranSo the Holy Spirit has no control yet the Father does…??
Trinity teaches that they are supposedly coequal.
@@hereweare9096 I literally just told you the power of the holy spirit. They are coequal.
(John 17:20-21).
“That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us”
It is that perfect unity between the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost that binds these three into the oneness of the divine God. The actions of the Son and of the Holy Spirit manifest their equality in power with the Father. The Son and Holy Spirit reveal, sanctify, and save. They perform actions that God alone can accomplish. Their divinity is revealed particularly in this power: the works of God make visible “his eternal power and deity” (Rom 1:20)
These people are so rigid and they're always not willing to admit their mistakes. Oh I appreciate your patience! God bless you!

A few years ago, a couple of JW women came to my house. One was clearly an older member and with her was clearly a newer member. So I began to share the true Gospel with them and they stayed for a half hour or more, unable to refute me. A week later, they came back, only this time they brought a man with them who was clearly one of their elder members. Again we spoke for almost an hour. The next week, this same leader returned, but with two different people with him. We discussed at length as I showed them things they were not aware of. This continued each week throughout the summer. Then covid hit, and put an end to their visits. But I did give them much to consider.

Unfortunately, the New World Translation renders John 8:58 "I have been" instead of "I AM," which is an unfortunate, intentional mistranslation.

Thank you both @ronbo30 and whatsup1382. I am so happy to find the truth. Thank you very much
Oh that's awesome! I'm so happy for you! Just keep steady fast in the word and prayer and you will be okay, search around for a good scripture based church.. that's what I'm currently doing right now.
I’ve been praying for my older brother for over 30 years and we finally had a discussion and even though he is an elder and goes door to door every week he has no answers for any of the scriptures quoted on this video that prove Jesus Christ is God, I will continue to pray and ask Our Lord to remove the false indoctrination and save his soul
Jesus was crucified because He said to the Scribes that ''I AM'' (YHWH), and they said that Jesus had committed blasphemy by calling Himself God, and now they had a reason to kill Him!
An angel is anyone or anything that preaches Gods message. Some examples. The Bible is an angel, Moses was an angel, Elijah was an angel, you are an angel. Arch means the firstborn. Before God created anything else, he made Yashuah [God is my Salvation (Jesus)] whose real name is Michael (Who is like God). How can God be anyone’s salvation if Michael was made before man who needs salvation? Also John 1:1 is a huge mistranslation. Michael was made by God and everyother angel by Michael. That is why in Proverbs Michael is said to be the masterworker of God. He isn’t God but is if the same essence of God (the Father). All angels are “gods” but not “God” For example, Satan is a god. Hope this clears up any confusion.
Well done brother I love your videos, my mom and her side of the family Jehovah’s Witnesses, and I came to know the truth all glory be to God and everything you’re saying is 100% accurate.

Why the NWT put "a" article before god in John 1:1c when Koine Greek did not use such before "theos"/god?
First of, Koine Greek has not yet recognized articles such as "a" and "an" in its dialect. But the Coptic Greek in the 3rd century standardized the indefinite article, which is the first translated language by Greek-speaking Christians in Egypt, who were the direct descendants following Jesus's earthly ministry.
It's a crucial period because the Coptic Greek had not yet been adulterated by the pagan Trinity of the 4th century, with the Nicene Creed endorsed personally by the Roman Emperor.
Also, the usage of article "a" in John 1:1c, suffices John 1:1b wherein "theon"/God was written in accusative case w/c required the translators to put "with" before God.
In fact, God is discerning to have instructed John to write John 1:2, "This one was in the beginning with God." to break the confusion for those who have faith in truth.

For over a year, a Jehova's Witness elder has visited my home every Wednesday. We go over the "lessons" in a Watchtower publication and watch videos that accompany the text. I do not debate, knowing the futility, but allow him to take the role of "teacher". With that, I am able to question the publication as its taught. Many times I point out the contradiction in both the publication, and the NWT. The response is typically the same, "I'll have to look into that." I use old Watchtower publications against the organization which clearly show contradictions, but the response is, "I'll have to look into that." They are indoctrinated into a cult, so they have a cult mindset. Only God can open their hearts. The most that can be done is to plant seeds of doubt in their minds, which, if they reject, will be used against them on the day of judgment. Sad.
If you’re not going to contend for the faith why do you waste your time, allowing him to be the teacher?
@@joytoyouandme4593 That is the only way to approach one who has been indoctrinated into the organization. When they knock on your door, they will arrive as one who believes they have the truth; so, if you immediately encroach upon their error, you will close the door on your opportunity. Put it this way, if you knocked on someone's door, attempting to give them the gospel, and they immediately say, "You are wrong and I am right! You are going to hell with your heresy!" How would you respond? But if they let you in, and showed you, through your own teaching, that there are obvious errors, then you are held accountable.
exactly,well said.
@@eternalsecurityofthesaints9581 why do Trinitarians no mater what denomination, think that they are always scripturally right? The trinity is a man made lie made up 300 years after Jesus left the earth. Someone prove to me that the holy spirit is a person. No third person makes the trinity a big fat lie.
@@Lettruthbetold Trinity is the doctrinal position that one God is three Persons, which scripture clearly describes. Scripture is not going to use the term Trinity, but scripture will use the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. To make the point in a term people could understand, the term Trinity was coined.
Great job.
A balance of boldness and humility.
May YAH bless you and your work.
Excellent observation. the Book of James teaches we are to be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to anger.
The Son of God is not Yahweh. The Son of God is literally The Son of God. Christianity is not built on Jesus being God. It is built on Jesus being the Son of God and dying to reconcile mankind back to God. I wish Christians would stop using names for Jesus that are not in their Bible. He isn't the "God man" or "God the son". He is the Son of God as the scriptures say.
They are more committed to their denomination than the truth. It is sad to see as they are truly missing out on experiencing the fullness of who the Messiah truly is 🙏🏾
We are totally committed to the truth of god's word and are missing out on absolutely nothing.

They refuse to think for themselves; they won't even acknowledge the original Greek texts. Pray for them.
The Greek is literally available for everyone on line. Not sure why you think JWs don’t refer to it. You do realise there are Greek Jehovah’s Witnesses right..

Can’t wait to see what develops from the next conversation!
Pressure & patience makes diamonds 🤲
Yes but the diamond he is sharing our fake. Not real. A real diligent study of the Bible exposes this. God is not a triplex God. And Jesus always has someone who is God to him. Jehovah is His Name the Most High. (Psalm 83:18)
@@NickHawaii Yes, my friend.
I believe it is true what you say, that we should be diligent in our studies!
In fact, I think you & I can agree that we continue to learn of His beautiful mysteries throughout the days we are granted here on earth.
So many wonderful things to unpack, as He reveals Himself to us through His blessings.. 🤲
I consider it an honor that you would engage with the comment I left and this may be another great moment for me to learn something!
Our God has many titles/ names as we study the scriptures, and thankfully He knows our hearts when we speak to Him, no..
With that, I personally don't see the need to get wrapped up in these phrases mankind uses to decipher & formulate our Lord, such as "triplex" as you put it..
These kinds of things only cause division & unnecessary quarreling amongst all of us who are students of God, no?
Is not all of His divine nature & characteristics worthy of praise & worship. No matter the means in how He's decided to reach out to us, or teach us..
Acts 1:7,8
Peace be with you my friend!
@@NickHawaii you are so brainwashed that you cannot understand that he is not saying that it is a single being transforming Himself into Father, Son and Holy Ghost when it suits Him
@@diaskent829 Such insults don’t work on me. I go by what is verifiable in scripture nowhere does it say three persons are one being or God. One is God to the other. Jesus is the Son of the Living God. Not the second person of a trinity. That idea is foreign in scripture.
@@NickHawaii who but God can forgive sin? Can an angel forgive sin? The Jews in Jesus's time became really upset with Him when He told the man that his sins were forgiven. Theg wanted to destroy Him because , in their understanding, only God could forgive sin. They thought Jesus blasphemed. Did He?

I am an ex JW and I completely get what you were saying but they cannot acceot anything that is not taught by the Watchtower.
You are very knowledgeable and actually have educated me so I thank you. You are correct we were taught that anybody who had lots of questions that we could not answer to walk away and find others who were more likely to listen.
Take care
Smh.. "you're not easily brainwashed..next" 😂 horrible!
That woman when speaking of the Jews that were hostile and wanted to stone Jesus for declaring himself God they can’t see that they are doing the same thing….modern day Pharisees
Yeshua is NOT Yahweh God! This is silly, who sent Jesus? Whose will did Jesus follow Mark 14:36? God can not die...somebody had to die or we have no new covenant! Jesus like a Lamb died and on the 3rd day, GOD raised the dead Jesus Romans 10:9. If you do not believe it, you are condemned.
Who called Jesus to Heaven and where does Jesus set? Hebrews 12:2 On the Right Hand of God!
Hmmm...ok, read: 18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Given...power and authority is given to him, by who? Who gave him power and authority? God!
3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. Do you really think Satan would lead God into the wilderness to tempt him? God can not be tempted by satan! James 1:13 kjv
24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me. Hmmm NOT MY SAYING...but you say he's God! Lets read Hebrews 1:1-2 Ahhhhh now we know! 2 Corinthians 5:19 and Acts 10:38 and soooo many more!
When does Jesus return? Mark 13:32-37 God knows all!!!
What is Jesus, He is the New Covenant, we have to accept HIM and he is the ONLY WAY! Acts 2:22-23 and Deuteronomy 18:15 & 18-19 and Acts 3:22-26 and John 14:6 kjv.
No, Jesus is NOT God....Jesus tells us Mark 12:29-30 kjv.
First read all the scripture posted before you post a reply telling me Jesus is God when scripture clearly tells us different.

@@NickHawaii You are indeed correct. They do resemble Christianity and they do it exceptionally well. Loving, kind, hospitable, family oriented, zealous and faithful witnesses... I could go on. Unfortunately, resemblance is not the real deal. Resemblance is counterfeit. Resemblance is not truth.

Lots of criticism but nothing that can replace what we have found among Jehovah’s people. But thanks for your comment. Take care!
@@NickHawaii What are you talking about, there are many that are closer to Christianity in their teachings, doctrines & practices. Jws slaves do not even consider themselves Christians because they're indoctrinated to believe that Christ isn't their mediator, but they go about merely as members of a religious cult regurgitating the distorted gospel of Watchtower. They are set to make slaves for Watchtower, not disciples for Jesus Christ. What part of these Jws are preaching Christ & the good news of the gospel to people? That's why Jws don't know Jesus, because 99% of their indoctrination has been about the name "Jehovah" & "Jehovah's organization", the cult tower governed by 8 men who claim that every jw slave should completely trust their words the same way they trust Jesus & the Father. That is heresy!! What part of Christianity in the time of the apostles and the early church, gathered to reject the body of Christ & called it the "Memorial" of Jesus Christ?
Are you a Jw? Is Christ your mediator? The Watchtower is a religious cult that presents their distortion of the gospel as a narrative of Watchtower, which more so points people to the organization as a means of being saved. Their distorted bible supports their narrative of God's kingdom that they publish in their literature, all fables and heresies like Jw slaves having to clean up the earth after Armageddon and an unrighteous like a homosexual will return and have any chance to learn the way of Jehovah by way of the witnesses.
Watchtower org is closer to a religious cult than a sect of Christianity!!
@NickHawaii Thank you. I hear you, and your point is taken. But this was the point of my original comment... because your community is "closely entwined" (and I have experienced it, and it is lovely), it makes it harder for people to see the real truth, because of all that they will lose. In the video, the scriptures were plain to see, the original greek was plain to see, but they didn't want to see it because they had too much to lose. Similar to those who leave Islam, I imagine. The relationships and friendships are real, I'm not knocking that, but that should not override the pursuit of genuine biblical truth. Tbh I was actually surprised that a Wiitness would even watch these videos because the ones I know are guided by the elders not to watch videos like this. But sincerely, I wish you all the best. Thank you for respectful dialogue ❤️! Editing to add, genuine disciples of Jesus, who love the way Yeshua (Jesus) demonstrated love, are the embodiment of Christianity. I am blessed to be in such a congregation of believers!
They can’t handle thinking for themselves, but only follow what is being spoon fed to them. That’s why it’s so important to read and study for yourself. You were so patient, even when they were team gaslighting you. Good job!
@@tobeornottobe50the reason u don't have the God is bc it's referring to two distinct persons. Anyhow u twist it, God was the word can never be n the word was a god.
They can't handle the truth and may avoid this Bible scholar in the future.
Correct. They are not educated they are indoctrinated by watchtower.😢😢
Please understand this, it is not always about being afraid to learn the the scriptures accurately, it is about the massive mental shift that occurs when you realize you've been lied to and you've wasted years of your life in that mindset.
After that, you have to decide if you'll walk away from all that. Because it's a cult, that's not so easy.
These people have their entire lives wrapped up in their religion. They risk losing their jobs, kids, spouses, etc
I know this because I'm ex-mormon. There are many people who pretend to be Mormon because they cannot risk losing a job or getting a divorce and losing their kids.
When I found out all the dirty secrets of the LDS cult, it was a massive betrayal. I didnt sleep for weeks.
When I stopped going to church that's when the harassment started. They harassed me, my neighbors, my family.
I had to go through therapy to unravel the indoctrination, guilt, and shame. That's how that church makes you feel, like you're never good enough, no matter how much you dedicate yourself to the church.
When I left the LDS cult I became atheist. The whole thing left a bad taste in my mouth.
On 11/25/23 Jesus Christ spoke to me and he healed me. I'm not the same person anymore. That experience completely changed me. Praise Jesus Christ, the one TRUE god!
@@annastinehammersdottir1290 you have got to be kidding. This guy does not know his Bible he has rehearsed over and over the same scriptures. My sisters have more patience than I would have with the so called “Bible Scholar” 😂 If god is 3x1=1 Please explain each one of these. John 10:36 Jesus Christ said: "I am God's Son."
John 14:28, RS: “[Jesus said:] If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because “I go to the Father” ; ((why) for the Father is greater than I.”
1 Cor. 11:3, RS: “I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is her husband, and the “head of Christ is God.” (Clearly, then, Christ is not God, and God is of superior rank to Christ. It should be noted that this was written about 55 C.E., some 22 years after Jesus returned to heaven.
1 Cor. 15:27, 28 RS: “‘God has put all things in subjection under his [Jesus’] feet.’ But when it says, ‘All things are put in subjection under him,’ it is plain that he is excepted who put all things under him. When all things are subjected to him, then “the Son himself will” (what)”also be subjected to him” (by who) “who put all things under him,” that God may be everything to every one.”
John 10:17This is why the Father loves me, because I surrender my life, so that I may receive it again. 18 No man takes it away from me, but I surrender it of my own initiative. I have authority to surrender it, and I have authority to receive it again. This commandment I received from (from who) my Father.
John 20:31
But these have been written down so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and because of believing, you may have life by means of his name.
John 15:21“They will do all these things against you on account of my name, because they do not know the One [Jehovah God] that sent me.”
John 1:14 So the Word became flesh and resided among us, and we had a view of his glory, a glory such as belongs to an only-begotten sent from a father;
Definition: be•get be get | ba'get |
verb (begets, begetting; past begot | ba'gat | or archaic begat | ba'gat | ; past participle begotten | ba'gätn | ) [with object] literary 1 (typically of a man, sometimes of a man and a woman) bring (a child)into existence by the process of reproduction:
And if John 1:1 explains the trinity where is the holy spirit ? Why is Holy Spirit not mentioned. I’ll tell you why because it is God’s power or active force. (The Most High)power. This is evident by what the angel told Mary at Luke 1:I In answer the angel said to her: “Holy spirit will come upon you, and power of the Most High will overshadow you. And for that reason the one who is born will be called holy, God’s Son.”and at Acts 1:8 it says You will receive power when the holy spirit arrives upon you, and you will be witnesses of me both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the most distant part of the earth.”
Clearly this shows that Holy Spirit is not a person but Gods power.
In my opinion, trying to argue the greek with non greek speakers is not the proper way to get this point across(as we see in the video). Picking single verses out of the bible which show Jesus is God, will easily be refuted by other verses which by face value look like Jesus is not claiming to be God. Since he brought up the king james version, I would of loved for you to ask them why the king james version (john 1:1) does not match their own translation. You can then ask them if speaking to spirit mediums is allowed in God's eyes (lev 19:31). Then ask them if they are aware their john 1:1 translation comes from a spirit medium. Do research on Johannes Greber he was the reason for their mistranslated john 1:1.
I wish he had asked them why their translation doesn’t correlate with their NWT ! I wanted to hear their answer lol
So all of those are from the same “spirit medium”??

This is very well done. Thank you for sharing and studying Greek to bring about truth and how translations can lead many astray. I’d love to hear your testimony about your conversion from being a Muslim.
JW translates Bible to suite their belief, just like Mohammed switched the role of Isaac and Ismail to make it like Ismail and his offring Arabian as a chosen one instead of Jew in Quran.
JW is not Christian.
"..., and the Word was a god."
Why the NWT put "a" article before god in John 1:1c when Koine Greek did not use such before "theos"/god?
First of, Koine Greek has not yet recognized articles such as "a" and "an" in its dialect. But the Coptic Greek in the 3rd century standardized the indefinite article, which is the first translated language by Greek-speaking Christians in Egypt, who were the direct descendants following Jesus's earthly ministry.
It's a crucial period because the Coptic Greek had not yet been adulterated by the pagan Trinity of the 4th century, with the Nicene Creed endorsed personally by the Roman Emperor.
Also, the usage of article "a" in John 1:1c, suffices John 1:1b wherein "theon"/God was written in accusative case w/c required the translators to put "with" before God.
In fact, God is discerning to have instructed John to write John 1:2, "This one was in the beginning with God." to break the confusion for those who have faith in truth.

God bless you brother for protecting your neighbors from error, and actually trying to snatch those brands from hell fire. God is using your ministry to inspire others (myself included) to study the word harder. I know a lot of the content of the Bible but I'm just not the best at remembering chapter and verse locations if that makes sense, but I still want to learn the Greek and Hebrew. It's a lot of work but sadly our society stopped educating our children from the bible and look at the mess we're in, and now as a nearly middle aged man I am having to learn what I should have decades years ago.
BLB - the blue letter bible can be helpful.
I use it for topics;
Example JESUS CHRIST IS THE ROCK.
I type rock - then i read the instances of rock, and Rock for JESUS CHRIST.
Then have someone read it.
I type stone,
Right hand
Etc.
Getting people to read for themselves from GOD'S word is powerful, it's what convicted me.
Our brother here in this video, is a great blessing, he has the courage and conviction to share the truth of JESUS CHRIST.
For you - be encouraged!
See you in heaven!
You do a great work in sharing the scriptures both in english and the greek. Unfortunately those whom want to believe the lie cannot hear the Truth when it is clearly shared.
You are correct, they are taught to break contact and move on, they will mark that you are "uninterested" and will not return if they don't think there is progress to be made. They attend a weekly meeting where they are taught a strict strategy to address these common debates.
I love your zeal my brother. I pray one day they will wake up. Hope you spot them again and follow up 😊
One of my best friends is a jw...I pray for him every night that the Lord take off the blindfolds the the adversary has put on him and his family
You should listen to your best friend. Maybe it’s actually you wearing trinity goggles too tight and can’t see the truth. 🤔
You are fortunate to have a witness as a best friend. Clearly, his congregation doesn't know about that relationship. They are not supposed to keep company with non-witness
Your patience and persistence is commendable brother. I need to spend time in the scriptures for I would not know how to share the word like you do in these situations.
Didn't the disciples also ask Jesus to show them the father and to which he responded, "Have I not been with you all this time... "
Yes. And when people saw God (tetragrammaton) in the Old Testament they were actually seeing Jesus. You can't see God unless Jesus (the exact image of God) shows him.
Moses his sons and 70 elders of Israel saw God, also Abraham, Jacob, and others.
The Mormons do the same thing. They will say, “ things are getting contentious “, and will end the conversation.
I give them credit for learning. The sad part is they get the wrong information. They don't want to search it out for themselves. They keep going back to the church. So sad
What did they learn?
@@JUDAH927 he put a seed in there head .

The 3 of them together cant answer the one question that answers it all. They clearly felt pressured and wanted to flee.
Thank you brother for sharing with them, and teaching us.
Here are some scriptures that are often used to support the argument that Jesus is God, countering the Jehovah’s Witness belief that Jesus is not God:
1. John 1:1-3
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
2. John 10:30
I and My Father are one.
3. John 20:28
And Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!"
4. Colossians 2:9
For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.
5. Philippians 2:5-6
Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God.
6. Titus 2:13
Looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.
7. Hebrews 1:8
But to the Son He says: "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom."
8. Revelation 1:8
"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End," says the Lord, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."
These passages highlight the divinity of Jesus, affirming that He is indeed God according to Christian doctrine as reflected in the New King James Version of the Bible.
Well well well, looks like the tables have turned, lol. It's very funny to see a Jehovah's Witnesses says they don't have time to talk.haha
*"If anyone comes to you but does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your home or even greet him." - 2 John 1:10*
That’s referring to those who claim to be Christian but are wolves in sheep’s clothing - not the lost or those from other religions who are unknowingly deceived - how else could we witness to them.
@@kickpublishing How many JW's who claim to be Christian does one have to encounter and submit to you to fit into your little ill-founded attempt at a rebuke or … 'correction'?

I had an extended interaction with what was probably an elder - he knew his stuff. The thing with JW’s is that they will proof-text all day long (using specific passages whose interpretation does not contextually fit within the WHOLE counsel of scripture) and they will continually move the goalposts once you refute one of their points.
One of the biggest issues (and there are a TON) with the JW’s is that their very foundations (like the Mormons) are founded upon the teachings of FALSE PROPHETS who fail the test of a true prophet in Deuteronomy 18:22. The guy that I was talking to refused to answer why the founders of the JW (Charles Taze Russel, Judge Rutherford) made numerous false prophecies and yet were considered to have the one and only "truth". My question to him was “How can you base your eternity on a religion whose foundations are based on the revelations and teachings of people who fail the test of a true prophet and whom GOD SAYS "if the thing does not happen or come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him" and subsequently stone that man to death for speaking falsely in the name of God?
He would not answer that question. The truth is right there for all to see; they refuse to see it because the cost is too high (shunning, disfellowship, etc). In the end, they fear man more than they do God - so they will go to hell for the sake of maintaining their toxic relationships with people as woefully deceived as they are. To anyone trapped in this horrible religion, I would implore you to remember something: The truth welcomes honest scrutiny and examination. It welcomes the light, it welcomes testing. Deception does not. People who do not enthusiastically demand that you thoroughly examine your own beliefs, and punish you if you do, are NOT leading you into any form of truth, period. Liars do that. Deceivers do that. Satan does that.
If the foundation of a religion is based on lies and deception (so much so that you have to create your own version of the Bible, something EXPRESSLY FORBIDDEN BY GOD [see Revelation 22:18-19]) how on earth do you expect to get anything but lies and deception out of it? Think about it!
@thewholetruth_333...I totally agree with you.
