ok ok relax. Geez!
Jesus is a God. According to you he is a mighty God.
I have found this thread to be most revealing of JW doctrine and your comments and revelations cement my view that the organisation is not related to the Christian church in any way.

So was the angel Almighty God also just because he spoke for him? So is Jesus Almighty God just becauise he spoke for him and represented him?

You think Jesus is a God in addition to Jehovah; you can wrap it up any way you like Galveston, but that is paganism as much as in fact more than trinitarianism is.

True. People use words in the English language to mean a variety of things. However, that definition does not fit with a tranlation of the meaning of the Greek text.

Originally posted by galveston75Hang on. Not so fast. You slipped the word "representative" in there as if it is a synonym of "manifestation", when it is not. I fully understand that "representative" is the word you need for the purposes of your argument, but that need, in itself, does not create an additional meaning for a word. Why did neither of the links you offered use the word "representative"?
So if one looks at these meanings, it is never God that is actually there. It is a manifesitation or a representative of him being there.

In fact can you show me any scriptues that prove what your saying in this post because I've never seen anything from the Bible that confirms any of this..........

"The Manifestations of God are the only channel for humanity to know about God, and they act as perfect mirrors reflecting the attributes of God into the physical world."

I know it is but the explination of what a manifestation in a religious sence is there.
Do you subscribe, to some degree, to the doctrines of the Bahá'í Faith?
