Sea Breeze...thanks for pointing out a word that never registered in my mind. A quick research does reveal, as per usual, different versions of Bible translate it differently. I will never understand the "tripartite", because there is no way anyone could ever convince me that Jesus is part of a trinity. The only mystery I see with the trinity ( which I have heard said is a mystery ) is that anyone believes it to start with.

excuse me, but I don't see in the Bible Jesus position in the godhead...( don't see the word godhead!)
so I will just choose to believe what the Bible really says as to his position, which you can choose to believe or not.
Ps 110:1 Jehovah declared to my Lord;" Sit at my Right Hand until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet. ( quoted at Acts 2:34 Matt22:44 Heb 1:14 )
Acts 2:33 Therefore, because he was exalted to the Right Hand of God and received the pomished holy spirit from the Father, he has pured out what you see and hear.
Acts 5:31 God exalted this one as Chief Agent and Savior to his Right Hand, to give repentace to Israel and forgiveness of sins.
Notes: Ps 110:1 doesn't say Jesus will place his enemies at his feet-which he would have if he were GOD
Act 2:33 he received holy spirit from the Father...If he were God, why would he give it to himself?

I am posting these thoughts here for those of you who think Jesus is God
John 10:30 " I and the Father are ONE."
John 17:21 so that they may all be ONE , just as you Father, are in UNION with me and I am in UNION with you, that they also may be in UNION with us, so the the world may believe that you sent me.....23 I in UNION with them and you in UNION with me.....
Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor freeman, there is neither male nor female, for YOU are all ONE in UNION with Christ Jesus.
The point of bringing out these scriptures is if you believe that Jesus is God Almighty because he says they are ONE or that he says he is in UNION with God, then by extention of that reasoning, all who have faith in Jesus would be GOD.

“The United Socialist States of America?”
by Fisherman inwhen i was growing up, some people were on welfare but the vast majority were working people that paid their own rent, doctor’s bills, medicine, food, etc.
—and saved money.
so, a working person did not need financial help from the government if they didn’t have vices.

The blood of the covenant and forgivness of sins
by enoughisenough ini am pasting in a copy of an email i hope my friend will read...i watched a video by bridget from az and i had thoughs i had never even considered before.
this is interesting : matt 26:28 for this means my 'blood of the covenant,' which is to be poured out in behalf of many for the forgiveness of sins.according to wt, the christian greek scriptures were ( see copy ) wt 74 6/15 serve with eternity in view : also, it is to the spirit-anointed christians who will rule in that kingdom that most of the christian greek scriptures is directed, including the promises of everlasting life ( pasted from wt 74 6/15).
so matt 26:28 is at the lord's evening meal where the new covenant is being initiated.

Is the governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses REALLY the "faithful and discreet slave" of Matt. 24:45-47?
by Roger Kirkpatrick inthesis: when someone who is given a responsibility mistakes that responsibility for authority, bullying is very likely to occur.. jesus spoke an illustration recorded at matthew 24: 45-51 which well illustrates this thesis.. jesus asked, “who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over all his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?
happy is that slave if his master on arriving finds him doing so.
truly i say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings.

parallel account in LUke 12:42-48 shows different slave descriptions: 42....faithful steward.....45 that slave...beat the male and female servants.....47 ...that slave who understood the will of his master, but did not...do what was asked...48 but the one who did not understand....( I see 4 slave descriptions )
When JW speak of the faithful and discreet slave, they just cherry pick what they want from Matt 24:45

I am pasting in a copy of an email I hope my friend will read...I watched a video by bridget from az and I had thoughs I had never even considered before. So here goes:
This is interesting : Matt 26:28 for this means my 'blood of the covenant,' which is to be poured out in behalf of many for the forgiveness of sins.
According to WT, The Christian Greek Scriptures were ( see copy ) WT 74 6/15 Serve with eternity in view :Also, it is to the spirit-anointed Christians who will rule in that kingdom that most of the Christian Greek Scriptures is directed, including the promises of everlasting life ( pasted from WT 74 6/15)
So Matt 26:28 is at the Lord's evening meal where the new covenant is being initiated. Note the blood being poured out for the forgiveness of sins. If you go by what is quote from WT74 and what JW teach, only the 144000 anointed would be forgiven-because they are the only ones in that covenant, and the Christian Greek Scriptures are mostly directed to them...are you following this?
Also of interest is none of the apostles were anointed by holy spirit in that upper room until Penecost , which was after this covenant was made. ( so those who were not "anointed" were partaking with Jesus, and yet JW instruct only the anointed can partake. -

I watched a video showing this site. The presenter brought out how those 2 area below the under eye semi circle ( looks like sections with trees to me ) are sort of like the "side locks" for want of a better word on the images of the Egyption Sun god Horus. And some of you may know ( I think it was The Finished Mystery ) another image representing Horus was on the cover of that book...Makes ya wonder...... -
