Well, since you asked…..
Hebrews 1
6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God WORSHIP HIM.
The word in both Hebrew and Greek means to “bow down to someone of superior rank, in respect” but not necessarily worship. Only when applied to Jehovah is it “worship”….but I do not recall God ever requiring anyone to bow down to him in worship. We see Muslims do that, but Jews do not, and neither do Christians.
Your watchtower lies has Jesus as a created being. Now we have through your watchtower lies , Jehovah commanding angels to worship a created being.
How bogus your religion is.
Since Jesus himself confessed to being ‘created’, I will take his word over yours.
Rev 3:14….Jesus identifies himself….
”And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God”. (KJV)
He is “the Amen”….the “so be it” of God’s whole purpose for mankind. He is “the faithful and true witness” of his Father…and he is “the beginning of the creation of God”….now, how would you like to twist his words to suggest what you believe?
Colossians 1:15 calls Jesus…
”the firstborn of every creature” (KJV) If he is
the firstborn of every creature….that makes him a unique
creation, as his Father’s “
firstborn”…..verse 17 says that he is
“before all things”, so it’s not referring to his human birth but his “birth” as God’s first “son”. God has many “sons”, but none like his “firstborn”.…who is the one and only direct creation of his Father….all other creation came through the agency of the son.
You really think lying helps your false lying religion??????
Well, since you have not proven that I have offered you a single lie….it is obvious that one of us does not believe the Bible….I don’t believe that you have ever put in any effort to study it for yourself because all you can do is parrot off Christendom’s party line. There is no evidence that you have ever done any real Bible study.
Your pathetic attempts to refute what the the Bible really teaches is not winning you any brownie points here…..vitriol is not a nice trait in anyone. Insults never proved anyone right.
Run this verse through your watchtower meat grinder;
Hebrews 1
8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
YES YOU ARE BUSTED. YOUR LIES EXPOSED.
Your religion is so busted as false and pure lies.
The deity of Jesus is so obvious a child can see it.
No other entity could die and resurrect himself.
NOBODY.
JESUS said "destroy this Temple and in three days I will raise it up"
God on the cross.
Oh please….one of us is being exposed as promoting lies and those interested in what the Bible says rather than blindly following “church” doctrine, will see the disparity in your claims. You can huff and puff all you like but you simply don’t have the knowledge to defend what you want to believe.
Firstly, Jesus did not resurrect himself…..his Father did.
Acts 2:29-33..
”Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;
31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.” (KJV)
It was prophesied that Christ’s body was not going to be left to decompose in his “grave” which is “hades” (erroneously translated as “hell”)…..the Jews were never taught about a burning hell. The word in Hebrew is “Sheol” which is translated as “grave” in the Hebrew Interlinear. You see how far back these lies go?
You rely on an old and flawed English translation that now his whiskers on it.
Secondly, it was God who raised Jesus from the dead….because Jesus was actually dead.
As “the second Adam”, he had to die the same death as the one who lost everlasting life for all his children…..if Jesus was the eternal and immortal God then he could not die….and mankind are therefore not redeemed out of sin and death.
You have swallowed all the lies that are ancient and promoted for centuries by an apostate church system, who today are more misled than ever.……do some study. God is not the author of confusion.
John 10:18
No man taketh it from me, but I lay
it down of myself. I have power to lay
it down, and I have power to take
it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
AGAIN...God on the cross.
The power to take it up again was provided by his God and Father…..”received of my Father”…..
There was no God on the cross…..because God cannot die….nor did Jesus have to be deity to save mankind. All he needed to be was “sinless”….the exact equivalent of Adam.
Jesus said " I am the resurrection"
Perhaps quoting the whole passage in context might explain this statement rather than assuming that this snatch tells us the whole story…..
This is the account about the resurrection of Lazarus…..from John ch11.
”23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live”.
So what is the “resurrection on the last day” that Jews believed in? It’s not the tripping off to heaven as an immortal soul that the churches teach…it’s something completely different.
Jesus is the one who is given the power to resurrect the dead (John 5:28-29)…..but to understand the resurrection about which he spoke to Martha, you have to know what a resurrection means in relation to the one he performed on Lazarus……where was Lazarus when Jesus raised him?
If Lazarus had gone to heaven, what was achieved by bringing him back to this life only to die again later?
Can you give us a coherent answer?
Run that through your watchtower butchery department workbook
Ahem..denying Jesus testimony is your cunning false specialty huh????
Go ahead , put on public display your false religion.
They gave you a platform for your antichrist watchtower lies.
For goodness sake, climb down off your high horse and listen for a change…..entertain the fact that you have been handed a bill of rotten good by an apostate church created by the devil, centuries ago. Jesus foretold it……so nothing you believe, that is taught by that “church” system, is true.
The platform that I stand on has been proven to me by allowing myself to study the Bible with an open mind and heart….something I did not have before.
Now put yourself back in the first century as a devout Jew, and tell me who you would have believed? The majority who accepted what the Pharisees taught and that condemned any who dared to question their teachings….or would you have listened to the hated minority who were following a man that the Jews believed was of the devil, and trying to subvert the faith of the Jewish people…..strong on tradition, but short on Bible knowledge.…short on a bunch of other things as well….(Matt 7:13-14)
The devil has no new tricks because the old ones still work so well on people like you…..
The ones who put Christ to death were so sure of their position that they cursed themselves and their children with his blood. (Matt 27:25) Are you doing the same thing?
