What Name Does the New Testament Emphasize - Jehovah or Jesus?

by Vanderhoven7 in

it seems to me scripturally speaking, that jehovah's witnesses are emphasizing the wrong name.. it should be jesus, not jehovah.

who is the way, the truth and the life?

(john 14:6).

If the creator of this immense universe we live in had any interest in this controversy, he would have never allowed this confusion to exist in the scriptures. imho. ---and conveniently

The truth stays the same as Jehovah and Jesus never change : from GodBeliever

Yeah, the name means: He is ever changing to whatever He wants/needs to be? rotating the 4 faces, eagle, man, lion and bull? or lying bull----? twisting neck, arm and scripture's meaning? ?

all man-made concepts from A-Z.?

the future will tell. enJoy.

waton, I don't know French, except for a few French words. But according to Google, I learned that "jusqu'à quel profondeur?"

Disillusioned JW: The word "touche" to me carried a kind of dismissive message, but I wanted to have the fact that in the story, "Jesus" never used the official name for the deity in his prayers to sink in deeply.

We are supposed to follow His example, and Wt's adherents really really cheapen the Most High's designation, by the hundreds of times it is kicked around in meetings, conversations. worship my foot.

Jesus made known the name, namely the meaning , majesty, but never mentioned it himself. well,

to "Satan" perhaps, during the kingdom temptation scene: "You must worship your god------ alone---"

can someone explain why a 'Y", oh my, is in the hebrew writing of the divine name, if hebrew only had consonants in writing? "Y" , or ypsylon is a pronounced vowel in many languages, not a substitute for a "J". Is this a quirk of the english translations only?

I see the Son and/or Father issue resolved when you see a 3D relief of J letters, superimposed on each other, like in an ornamented antique bible, one clear J on a bigger basic J.

My Prediction Regarding New Space Telescope That Will See Back to 100 Million Years From the Big Bang

by Sea Breeze in

a new space telescope launched a few days age that will supposedly be able to see to within 100 million years of the big bang.

wow... only 100 million years from the big bang.

that is pretty early given the 12 billion year age of the universe assigned by scholars who adhere to naturalism.

Dark matter/energy (you must know that those are the same by now) has been observed, it is what causes gravitational lensing. The problem is that we don’t know what dark matter/energy is made out of, because there is none near any traditional matter that we are used to.

AM not so, even ordinary mass' gravity has most influence only outside its "surface" , dark matter is not a halo but also inside an entity. (There is no gravity inside a hollow sphere, at the center of the earth, or a black hole, or inside dark matter.)

dark energy might be the eternal, all pervading energy that "appears" inside, as the universe expands into the future.

Dark Matter was to make the BB Theory feasible, but it has never been observed. There is not one shred of scientific evidence that it exists

not so, the dark matter hypothesis was invented initially to account for the high orbital velocity in the router reaches of galaxies. (could be a misunderstanding of the gravity equations too) and

S.B. 100 million years from Big Beginning? fancy this, 400 000 years!

250 times farther back.

New Light, New Light!

by BoogerMan in

more accurately known as a reversal of a long held 'truth.'.

september 2022 study watchtower - par.

14 p. 18 - "in the past, we understood jesus’ words to refer to the deeds the resurrected ones will practice after their resurrection; that is, some will come to life and practice good things while others will come to life and practice vile things.

waton

Imagine though, the Father, or the Son having all the ugly traits of sinners in their memory so as to resurrect them as the same person, in order that way they will not get away scot free for past misdeeds.

Are Christians Promised Heaven or Earth?

by BoogerMan in

jw's share a belief which most christian denominations teach - heaven awaits!

(matthew 20:28) ...the son of man came...to give his life as a ransom in exchange for many.”.

what does a 'ransom' normally achieve?.

waton

wt doctrine is, that the "anointed" get the right to everlasting life through partaking, and they then sacrifice that acquired right, as Jesus did, to aspire to immortality in heaven.

which begs the question, if the anointed partakers get the right to everlasting life on earth, why does wt not allow those that do not want to go to heaven pastake, to get at least a crack at the basic ransom offering? ? After all, Jesus served the emblems to those with an earthly kingdom hope?

Jesus: " you will be with me in Paradise" , even without prior partaking. just for a few moments of countable "service time".

Everlasting life on Earth is impossible, the planet and its furnace is half finished. so:

make that a temporary paradise on this planet. aka heaven on Earth, or paradise in heaven.
