Breaking Free of Self-Abuse-Why? How?

What is the difference between Mighty God and Almighty God? Don't you
believe there is only one God? Are the JWs polytheists or monotheists?
If they are monotheists, it makes no difference if it says Mighty or Almighty
because it is the same idea about the one God. Can't the Mighty God be
Almighty and the Almighty God be Mighty, especially since we are talking
about the one and only true God?

Jesus answered them: “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I said: “you are gods”’?  If he
called ‘gods’ those against whom the word of God came, and yet the Scripture cannot
be nullified,  do you say to me whom the Father sanctified and dispatched into the
world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, I am God’s Son?

what is Christ making reference to hear RJH? Here is a clue,

(Psalm 82:1) . . .God is stationing himself in the assembly of the Divine One; In the
middle of the gods he judges:

(Psalm 82:6) . . .“I myself have said, ‘you are gods, And all of you are sons of the
Most High.

(1 Corinthians 8:5-6) . . .For even though there are those who are called
“gods,”whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many “gods” and
many“lords,”  there is actually to us one God the Father, out of whom all things are
and we for him; and there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things
are,and we through him.

So you do not want to answer my questions. So you respond by asking
me irrelevant questions about judges of men. I am still waiting for your
answers. Do you believe Jesus is the Mighty God or not. A simple yes or
no is good enough for me.

Merry Christmas, jaywill. I for one feel a degree of respect for the scholarly and consistent nature of your endeavours on this forum, that others would have to work hard to equal. Merry Christmas to you.

Aw Shucks. Thanks FMF.

Happy holidays to you.

yes its short enough and i thank you for it, but please answer the question, why are
you trying to portray something that is not explicitly stated in the text of Isaiah, it does
not read Almighty God, does it Jaywill, so why are you saying that it does. Again,

why are you trying to portray something that is not explicitly stated in the text of
Isaiah, Jaywill. Lets see if you are honest enough to admit your bias, shall we?

What I write to you is because I do not believe that you enjoy the assurance of salvation.

Charles Russell has cheated you with the gospel of "another Jesus". And I don't think you can admit that you know that you have eternal life.

I only have one verse for from now on.

"I have written these things to you that you may KNOW that you have eternal life, to you who believe into the name of the Son of God." (1 John 5:13)

Do you have the assurance of your eternal salvation ?

The operative words are "TO US"


TO US - genuine Christian disciples, our Father is the one God.

If you do not have the assurance of salvation there is the possibility that you are not of the "US" of those who are saved.

"I have written these things to you that you may know that you have eternal life, to you who believe into the name of the Son of God." ( 1 John 5:13)

irrelevant? oh dear oh dear, seems like you really are busted this time old man, to us
there is one God, the father, one son Jesus Christ, Jehovah is not only a mighty God,
he is the Almighty God,

now, you will answer my questions, you asked about gods, here is a direct reference to
Jesus Christ , to whom you say you are a follower, making a biblical reference 'to
gods', who or what are these gods, if you have even a semblance on honesty you will
attempt the question, otherwise, you are busted and your belief system is a falsehood!

first of all you are not getting away with it jaywill, you have failed to answer,

1. Why because i do not accept that Christ is God almighty I am the antichrist
2. If you are once saved always saved why did Jesus spoke of the need of
endurance, Paul of falling away from the faith.
3.Why are you trying to portray something that is not explicit in the text of Isaiah
9:6 jaywill?

you claim you are a person of honesty and integrity, you will attempt to answer these
questions, or you will forever after be known as someone who makes statements,
without the slightest intent of substantiating them.

so lets get this, you as a Christian are mocking the words of Jesus Christ, thanks, that
all i needed to know, you avoid answering the question because its exposes the
falsehoods that you are continually telling others, who are these gods that Jesus
speaks of, anyone, clearly RJH has not the honesty to answer and thus he can only
muster mockery of Christ words.

No, I am not mocking the words of Christ. I'm only trying to bring the
answer down to your level. Apparently I did not go low enough.

why are you being such a dick? you have now been asked three times to comment on
a Biblical text containing the words of Jesus Christ quoting directly from the book of
Psalms and both you and Jaywill, have not the honesty nor the decency to do it, yet
you continue the charade that you are both disciples of Jesus Christ and avid bible
students,yet all you can do is act like a dick? why is that?

Your attitude of arrogance and stubbornness prevents you from
understanding and accepting the truth. Swine do not appreciate
the pearls of wisdom and truth. They trample them under their
hoofs and bury them in the mud so no one else can get to them.
