Having been a jw who found Christ a couple years ago this has me jumping for joy!! I always felt deep in my spirit that I am meant to worship Jesus, but I always felt guilty doing so because 22 years in the watchtower organization told me only Jehovah is god! My brother I want to thank you for your diligence in revealing the truth, may god continue to pour out more blessings on you :)
There are six things that Jehovah does hate, yes, seven are things detestable to his soul, lofty eyes, a false tongue, and hands that are shedding innocent blood, a heart fabricating hurtful schemes, feet that are in a hurry to run to badness, a false witness that launches forth lies, and anyone sending forth contentions among brothers. (Proverbs 6:16-19)

Eric excellent work. Understandable to most levels of intelligence. I have followed many that attempt to unpack the falsity of Watchtower. You my friend have put forward an easy to understand and excellent study compared with others. Well done. Truly this study is inspired by GOD.
Great video! I love the early church father’s quotes. You may find yourself cleaning up the Watchtower’s early church father’s quotes, as you can only imagine the cherry picking they use to justify their connectivity. Its laughable- Peace!!!
Great job!! You cover this very throughly! I believe gods spirit gave me these questions to ask. When I found out I wasn’t the only one asking, I knew I was lead! Very comprehensive though! Love it 😊 🎉
Excellent presentation! God has given me a passion to be a witness to JWs. There are so many key Scripture passages that they are unfamiliar with, and I love to study with them and share truth from the Bible.
Since we’re discussing translations, could someone please answer my question here? -> What bible do JWs use in Greece? Do they 1) use the original Greek source or 2) do they use a Greek translation of the English JW NWT bible? And, if it’s #2, why are there any Greek JWs since it should be very easy for them to see the inaccuracies in the NWT?
Yes, but, there is the fact to consider that the Greek spoken today is not nearly the same as it was at the time the Septuagint or the New Testament were written. It is sometimes estimated that a speaker of modern Greek can understand about 50 % of a text written in Old Greek. (As an English speaker, you would have similar problems when trying to read a text in Old or even Middle English.)
If original is used they will be told eventually no. Original text does not matter to jw, they have own version. I thiiiink there might be slight variations in it compared to english, but they put in Jehovas name. But weird they have kjv online that really has hardly the name in it. If i remember correctly. And they might go with yaweh for short while too, for those not ready for jehovah.
They are under ban in Greece they have many congregations there , l don't know if other religions or faiths are tolerated by the Greek government ? Or the Greek Othordox church ? ?
They used the Greber bible as a reference. The Greber bible used spiritism (talking to the dead) to re-translate certain passages. So the jw bible is literally demon inspired.
With regards to the addition of the word 'other' in Colossians. Until the latest edition of their excuse for a bible, the word was in brackets. In the grey bible it's unashamedly in the text. When I questioned this on Quora, I received the scholarly reply that TA PANTA means 'the all'. Still no 'other' though!
Man, Eric, I wish I would have discovered your channel a couple months ago. I've been researching to understand the JW religion so I could be equipped for my encounters with them. So far, your videos have been a gold mine of useful information and you've presented them in an easily digestible way. I really like the addition of the early church father's writings as well. I think those present a crystal clear confirmation to the foundational doctrines found in scripture.
Very thorough video! I studied with the witnesses briefly, and I’m so thankful Jesus saved me. The one thing I could never get over was the deity of Jesus. I will never surrender with the thought of Jesus ONLY being an Angel when the Bible clearly states he is God.

I am new to your channel (excellent work) have been studying. JW s (and many others) teachings for a long time. I give a 7-week class at my church on the JWs. Not sure if you added this on any of your other videos (haven’t’ seen them all yet and I doubt that you don’t know). In the KIT John 20: 28 in their Greek when Thomas sees the risen Lord he says to Jesus “The Lord of me, The God of me.” The definite article in the Greek. And Jesus took that as a statement of faith and did not correct him. Thomas, being a Jew, would never call a man God. thanks
Very nice to meet you! Yes, great information indeed! I’m curious, does your area have a lot of Jehovahs Witnesses? I think it’s cool your church lets you do that!
I have always seen that verse in light of Philippians 2:6-8 where Jesus emptied Himself of His Deity and took on the role of a servant. He came down to earth and was obedient to the Father. He became our perfect example... praying to the Father, watching to see where the Father is at work, relying on the Father, etc. In other words, we have to remember that Jesus was in a temporary lower position as a servant while He was here on Earth. This is shown in John 17:5 where He says, "And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was."
@@ericschaeffer8288 True, Jesus and his Father, our Heavenly Father are not one in the same. Jesus is begotten from God, the Father. That is, God issued forth Jesus from Himself, and thus Jesus is f the very same essence of God, which is why Jesus could say "If you have seen me, you have seen the Father." Jesus prayed to the Father who never left His lofty abode in heaven, which is why God's voice was heard from heaven while Jesus was on the earth. The *bosom* position that Jesus had with his Father was unique only to himself. Jesus is not a created angel and nor is he the arc-angel Michael. Jesus is unique being literally from the Father's essence of being, a piece of the Father as it were.
@Eric thank you some much for this beautiful rendering they have revised their NWT again exodus 3:14 has a complete different meaning to explicitly mislead what John 8:58 means .. I would appreciate your take on that..
How can JW say Jesus is an archangel, but genesis says he is "a" god according to their own translation??? I am having this same argument with my while family. They are all Jehovah Witness and i left and became Christian. When the sciptures are discussed about everything this video is saying they just turn it to an argument and they just get up and walk away. They even have a book called Examining the Scriptures, but when any confronting scipture challenges their beliefs, they dont even try to examine it but rather call you a deciever....sad....
Very true. It is difficult to get a Jehovahs Witness to see his or her error. It can be done. It’s kind of like chopping down a large tree with a hatchet. It takes many swings over a long period of time, but the tree will usually fall if you don’t give up:)
God reads the heart my friend not weather y9u can understand it all or not... it's not intellectual power that will get you to paradise but having the heart of a child will....
One of the strongest scriptures identifying Jesus as Jehovah for me is John 12:41 where John, speaking about Jesus, states that Isaiah saw His glory and spoke of him. The reference is to Isa 6:1-10. The NWT study bible notes that Isaiah saw Jesus and Jehovah, but John says he saw Him not them. Also, the NWT study bible note contradicts Watchtower's teaching that Jesus was Michael the Arch angel prior to becoming human because they identified him as Jesus.
@@scottgrey2877 Aside from the bible never stating anywhere that Jesus is Michael, your answer as is fails to explain why John attributes who Isaiah saw (Is 6), in Isaiah's vision of Jehovah on his throne, to Isaiah having seen Jesus (read John 12:37-42).
@@scottgrey2877 I'll go with Scripture, not 8 fallible men. The Lord Said to My Lord (Mt 22:44-45) - “Jehovah [Gk: kyrios] said to my Lord [kyrios]: ‘Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies beneath your feet?’ If, then, David calls him Lord [kyrios], how is he his son?” ‘But about which of the angels has he ever said: “Sit at my right hand until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet”?’ “ (Heb 1:13). If the Governing Body can get the Locusts in Joel wrong for decades and decades, believing the Locusts were Jehovah's Witnesses, they must admit that they could be wrong on Jesus being Michael ... to say nothing of their admitting that they could be wrong on Jesus being created. When you are fallible, you must ALWAYS admit that you could be ... wrong. Russell did not believe he was. _“Let all the angels of God worship him [that must include Michael] …”_ (Zion’s Watch Tower, July 1879, 9) Later, Zion’s Watch Tower’s November 1879 issue, page 49, said ALL the angels of God are to worship Jesus ... "that must include Michael."
Born and raised a JW . I left a couple of years ago but it’s left such a vacuum , these comments arguing back and forth gives me a headache . Why can’t it be simple? Surely it should be simple . I’ll continue to look to Jesus and try to be like him but it’s really difficult
I understand your perspective. I believe it can be simple. Just read the Bible for what it plainly says. When organizations twist words or even add/subtract words to change the meaning, then we find the text getting very confusing
Firstborn also means to be put in charge of. Yahweh said in Psalm 89:27 that he will make King David his Firstborn. “I also shall make him My first-born, the highest of the kings of the earth.”
When Jesus was baptized Jehovah said "this is my son who I approve. Who was Jesus praying to? Also see John 20: 17...How would you explain this scripture?

Hello and thank you for this video. I am having trouble understanding and following what you mean when the watchtower calls Jesus Lord instead of God. I use the KJV bible and my verses say the same thing. Would you be ever so kind to help me understand what you are explaining as I would like to understand what you are referencing. Thankyou very much again for your video.
"when the watchtower calls Jesus Lord instead of God" Where the Greek says _kyrios_ [Lord] in reference to Jesus, Watchtower substitutes and says _Jehovah._ This causes the text to be twisted, distorted, repeatedly in showing Jesus is God.
Its amazing how seriously naive are Jehovah's Witnesses. They wholeheartedly believe everything that the deveptive Watchtower tell them, without checking it out for themselves. JW's totally ignore the many false prophecies of the Watchtower, and their deliberately falsified NWT Bible.
This is informative a d disappointing as I havbeen studying with the Jehovahs witnesses and felt it strange they like to give you their Bible to study vs using your own. But i hate to be deceived above all else and the bible says if you add to the bible you are cursed. Even adding the word other
Our FATHER in the heavens our CREATOR is not Jesus. Jesus called out to his father in heaven, he did not call out to himself. In Philippians it says even Jesus did not ever compare himself to GOD.
@@michellefinklestein3219 The reason why this analogy won't work is because you are not a Devine (un-created) being, you are a creature (a created being). It's always a mistake to try and bring God, Jesus or the Holy Spirit down to the 5 senses!
@@FaithWalker-kjv thank you for your input, but as a (created creature) as you claim I choose to believe the Bible as it is stated. The only thing people should do is quit debating the Yahweh/ Yashua correlation and accept Yashua, believe in his Father our creator, and pray for his spirit to reveal to us as individuals his purpose, and love for us. I've been shown I believe with out a doubt in my fifth dimension mind. God bless you
@@michellefinklestein3219 Thanks for the response. I hear you. I too believe in the unchanged message in the Holy Scriptures as given to the prophets by the breathed word of GOD. That message has stood the test of time...salvation is in a person, Jesus Christ, and not in knowing\having the right pronunciation of a Name. (why not at least look into this, what have you got to lose?). If you need the help of a 5th dimension mind to guide you, then you are already on the wrong path, this is not Biblical. Instead, as stated in your own Bible, speak to the "helper" that Jesus left you and He (person) will guide you (John 16:7-8 NWT). The helper is the Spirit of The Father (Matthew 10:20 NWT). May the Holy Spirit do the work in you and set you free. Jesus loves you so much. God bless. Peace ✝
Even a Christian cannot brush aside the worship of Jehovah as God. In Revelation 1:5 the Son of God called himself "Jesus Christ, 'The Faithful Witness.'" When on earth as a man he was a Jew, an Israelite, to whose nation the words of Isaiah 43:10 were written: "'You are my witnesses, ' is the utterance of Jehovah, 'even my servant whom I have chosen.'" Jesus demonstrated that he was a faithful and true witness of Jehovah God. His genuine disciples today must be the same kind of witnesses, Jehovah's.
Jesse Torres you are on the money. These statements are missing the Torah mindset that puts it in its proper comprehension. The view has a merit only when viewed from this end of time backwards to the 1st century writers, but the trick is to look at it from the other end coming forward to the 1st Century. Jesus is Jehovah but not the way modern man understands it, as this presentation shows, only through the Hebrew mindset can you see it, and brother you got it! And yet there is so much more to grasp. This duality expressed as a singleness is not comprehensible through the lense of Latin and Helenistic thought people. Come from the other end and again as the author of this video implores, be exegesis, in your view from the other end also. There are always to side to a coin, but God is multi faceted and you must not box him into left and right, stuck on your views of words and spellings. Satan is surely deceiving as Isaiah48 expresses, that is one reason they call it spelling!!! No matter what the language it is in, its casting a spell over heart and mind, be careful to be patient of your acquisition of knowledge, for the path to life is one of faith and not of correct or be it incorrect comprehension of grammar! Romans 3:4 All men are liars! God is the only truth! Be humble on both side of the argument, God is about to set us all straight and discipline us, because he loves us! The Christ will set you free 😇🥰🤯😉!
Exactly... As you have exemplified. "...Study to show thyself approved a Workman need not be ashamed rightly dividing the words of truth..." Isaiah 2:22 greatly supports Romans 3:4 Selah Wholeness and Balance ⚖️

Even scholars admit that the King James bible is also biased too...because it was collated by Trinitarians themselves. They inserted the spurious wording in 1 John 5:7 to support their unscriptural Trinity belief.
The NWT is not alone in mistranslation. This is true. However, the NWT is probably the most blatant in its effort to deceive people by hiding Jesus’s Deity… you should watch my video on “Taking Deception to Another Level”
@@ericschaeffer8288 whatever you want to believe in the bible is plain as day that Jesus is not some God-man. Such an thinking or even idea was repulsive to the Jews in Jesus' day and such a belief would merit you their capital punishment of death, because to the Jews it was a blasphemy for any human person to claim to be God in the flesh....they would stone you to death!...

The very word "Jehovah" is a 13th c translation error by Raymundus Martini, a Catholic monk who inserted the vowel points of Adonai into the consonants of YHWH (the vowel points were above the consonants as a reminder, to guard against saying the Divine Name, so Holy it was to the Jews). Watchtower, in one of their own publications, called it a blunder. I'll bet the 99.9% of current Witnesses don't know this. Does it HONOR God to call him by the WRONG name? ‘As to the Old Testament name of God, certainly the spelling and pronunciation “Jehovah” were originally a blunder. But the spelling and the pronunciation are not highly important. What is highly important is to keep it clear that this is a personal name. (The Bible in Living English, 1972, p.7). Watchtower also said : “Yes, many Bible scholars acknowledge that ‘Yahweh’ more nearly represents the Hebrew pronunciation of the Divine Name”(WT, July 15, 1964, p. 423) “Hebrew scholars generally favor “Yahweh” as the most likely pronunciation” (Aid To Bible Understanding, 1971, p. 885) “ ’Jehovah’ ” is the best known English pronunciation of the Divine name, although “Yahweh” is favored by most Hebrew scholars” (Insight on the Scriptures, 1988, vol. 2, p. 5)
If Jehovah is Jesus, why did he say" This is my beloved son in whom i am well pleased, listen to him" While Jesus was on the stake, he prayed and said Father why have you forsaken me.Let your will not my will be done.????
"If Jehovah is Jesus, why did he say" This is my beloved son in whom i am well pleased, listen to him" What God is : the One Divine Being (YHWH) ... comparatively, Eyabiflorence is a human being Who God is : three persons. Jesus is speaking to the Father. comparatively, Eyabiflorence is one person. So the person of the Father is saying, listen to my son (second person of the Trinity). "While Jesus was on the stake, he prayed and said Father why have you forsaken me.Let your will not my will be done.????" Jesus is quoting the first line of Psalm 22: _My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?_ Psalm 22 is foretells of the Messiah to come.; Jesus is saying that Psalm 22 - its entirety - applies to him. He is the Messiah !
Luke 5:17(niv)"One day Jesus was teaching, and Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there.They had come from every village of Galilee and from Judea and Jerusalem.And the power of the Lord was with Jesus to heal those who were ill.". God's power was with Jesus... Was not the Father greater than His Son? by His Son's own words.. Did He not ask his Father to sanctify ones by means of the truth...saying "Your Word is truth "? All of John 17...but that verse is from John 17:17... Isaiah 55:6-11 Psalms 19 Gods Holy Word the Bible...cleanses...

@@MrBigcnasty The witnesses have never gotten one thing right. They are spiritually and intellectually lazy. Unable, and unwilling to engage on Apologetics, they are cannot defend their faith using the Bible alone. Indeed the witnesses neither believe in or use the Bible. The Bible will not support their beliefs. They have written for themselves a "bible" to be used in conjunction with the books, magazines, and other propaganda publications. The Bible does not use the word "trinity" it uses the word Godhead, and so should we. The fullness of the Godhead dwells in Christ. The Diety of Christ is the cornerstone of Christianity, as supported by scripture.
Titus 2:13 is not in agreement with what is read at Titus 1:4 which clearly makes a distinction between Jesus the Son and God the father...thus showing them to be 2 persons.
"The Greek literally says “…of the great God and Savior of us Christ Jesus” (tou mealou Theou kai Soteros hemon Christou Iesou.) When read literally and without the comma and added word “of,” the “great God” is the same as the “Savior of us.” Please look at the context. Notice God is Savior in verse 10 and Jesus is God and Savior in verse 13. “they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive.” (Titus 2:10 NIV) “our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,” (Titus 2:13 NIV)
The Father and the Son are both the Savior and both are God… this text makes it very simple and clear… even those who refuse to hear it, know it’s true
@@ericschaeffer8288 God saves by means of his Son, Jesus christ so yes both are called 'savior' in the bible...but nowhere in the scriptures does Jesus ever claim to be God himself or a God-man. The Jews viewed it a blasphemy for anyone to claim or insinuate that he's God in the flesh. Their punishment for that was death by stoning or other means. The jews did not entertain the idea that Jesus is God the father like when he asked Simon Peter to confirm or say who he really is. What did Simon say?- (Matt.16:16) The Jews had wrongly thought that Jesus was making himself to be God or equal to God...Jesus tried to correct their wrong thinking by quoting from Psalms 82:6 to No avail.
@@oweltingzon4470 oh?? They are both Savior? How do you explain Isaiah 43:11? There is only one Savior. But you say there is two? You say Jesus is not God.

12:30 the word kyrios (Lord) has not been changed for Jesus; it has been changed to Jehovah for God since Isaiah refers to God Jehovah. However, your own propaganda does not point out that Lord was changed to Jehovah because Isaiah says so, rather you gripe it hasnt been changed for Jesus. It is because kyrios means Lord not Jehovah. And although you call it a quote of Jehovah, our Paul makes it clear what your propaganda ignores HE ADDS to the glory of God Jehovah. So Paul is very open-mined and clear that his own demon crowd around him are just like you trying to make issue whether it is God or Jesus so they can trash Jesus. While you try to raise Jesus to BE God himself, he was speaking to those who needed to see the knees bend to Jesus FOR God Jehovah. I listened up to this point because WT is bias and i know where they are biased. BUT you fabricate this here pettiness to create your own bias propaganda.
Richard, there are many passages that confirm this same message: Revelation 1:8 - Jehovah said He is the Alʹpha and the O·meʹga. Revelation 22:12-13 - Jesus gave Himself the same title. Isaiah 44:6 - Jehovah said He is the First and the Last. Revelation 1:17-18 - Jesus gave Himself the same title. Acts 3 - Jehovah raised Christ from the dead. John 2:19-21 - Christ said He will raise Himself. Matthew 4:10 - Only Jehovah must receive worship. Matthew 14:33, 28:9, Hebrews 1:6, and Revelation 5:6-9, 12-14 - Jesus receives worship. Romans 10:13- Whoever calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved. Acts 4:12 - Jesus is the only name by which we must be saved. And then there are verses like Thomas calling Jesus "My Lord and my God" and Jesus saying "When you see Me, you see the Father." The list can go on and on. The point I’m trying to make here is that there are many Scriptures that show Jehovah and Jesus as One and the same.
The Trinity is biblical, the Bible is the word of God and God is infallible, therefore must be truth. The only way to deny the trinity is if you follow the traditions of men such as Charles Russell who proves false to his teachings and failed the Deuteronomy 18 test multiple times.
@@TruLuan Neither the word nor the explicit concept are found in the scriptures. You have been told this lie of the trinity long enough to believe it. Was Bro Russell wrong about a number of things? Absolutely. If you wish to condemn him, that is up to you. But not only are you wrong about a number of things, but about the very foundation. Who God is! (1 Corinthians 8:6) there is actually to us one God, the Father, from whom all things are and we for him; and there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are and we through him. This is what the Bible teaches, and what I believe.
@@777Tralfaz777 The word not being in the Bible is simply an asinine argument. Terms are used to define a teaching. With your logic, that's like saying a specific illness never existed in history until a term for that illness was coined. Just because there wasn't a term for it doesn't mean it never happened. And please explain to me why the Holy spirit is referred to as a "He" and how the Holy spirit can be lied to if it's not God but what you guys believe it to be which is the Star wars force. Acts 5:3-4 (RSV): "But Peter said, 'Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back part of the proceeds of the land? While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? How is it that you have contrived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.'" John 16:13-14 (RSV): "When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you." Romans 8:26-27 (RSV): "Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with sighs too deep for words. And he who searches the hearts of men knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God."
@@TruLuan You said "The word not being in the Bible is simply an asinine argument." And yet that was not what I said. I said neither the word nor the explicit concept. A foundational doctrine should be in the Bible, and the trinity is not. You said "And please explain to me why the Holy spirit is referred to as a "He"" It is called personification, as even spilled blood is said to "call out" from the ground. You said "how the Holy spirit can be lied to if it's not God Holy spirit comes from God. God sends it to do whatever God wishes. People can resist it. Holy spirit was proof Jesus had God's approval, yet the people back then accused Jesus of being able to do the powerful works by means of Satan, or Beelzabub. (John 8:54) Jesus answered: “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, the one who you say is your God. Who did the Jews claim to worship? Who did the Jesus identify this one as? God giving Jesus holy spirit to do these miracles was how God glorified Jesus. Was proof God backed Jesus. Acts 2:32 God resurrected this Jesus, and of this we are all witnesses. 33 Therefore, because he was exalted to the right hand of God and received the promised holy spirit from the Father, he has poured out what you see and hear. Who did Jesus receive the holy spirit from? What did he then do with it? If you wish to mock the power from God, and say it is like the force from Star Wars, be careful.

Eric Schaeffer Thus the Holy Bible of which Jehovah God is the one Author was completed by means of his witnesses, even as it had been begun by means of them. Consequently, with no room allowed for Scriptural contradiction, it may be said that The Holy Bible is the Book by Jehovah's witnesses. As Revelation 19:6 exclaims, "Hallelujah!"
Hey John if you are going to continue posting this nonsense that the bible is the book by the JWs i will continue coping and pasting the question you seem to avoid answering - -who was it that preserved the bible by hand copying the Holy Scriptures over and over throughout the centuries before the invention of the printing press for the rest of the world to enjoy? Was that really the JWs in the early and middle ages with the monks doing the scribe work? Or did the Catholic church do this painstaking work for the JWs?
Dear John Colage, We know that the Watchtower has printed the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures. This “translation” so often contradicts not only other good English translations but good t translations into other languages as well. Because of its practice of “Theocratic Warfare” (lying) most members in positions of authority in the Watchtower are thus caught living in contradiction to the Holy Scriptures.
John Cologne ......Whose crap are you smelling ....Do the words ,DONT go beyond the things written mean anything to you !.....share in Thier sins then !
Bible=Word of God. NWT=ever changing word of watchtower. The Bible will not support the beliefs of the witnesses. They deny the Diety of Christ, the cornerstone of Christianity. The God of Christianity is our Great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, as supported by scripture. Watchtower is antiChrist.
E DEVIL-INSPIRED TEACHINGS It was the Devil who told Eve: "You positively will not die." (Genesis 3:4; Revelation 12:9) But she did die, no part of her lived on. That the soul lives on after death is a lie started by the Devil. And it is also a lie, which the Devil has had spread, that the souls of the wicked are tormented in a hell or purgatory. Since the Bible clearly shows that the dead are unconscious, these teachings could not be true. Actually, neither the word "purgatory nor the idea of a purgatory is found in the Bible.
The word 'God' Theos literally means 'a powerful godlike one ( see vines greek dictionary) Jewish leaders were called 'gods' ( See John 10:34) The Jews claimed Jesus was calling himself 'God' yet he corrected them and said...wait for it "I am God's son" ( verse 36). The problem is John 1:1 "Ther word was God" ( Anyone knowing the greek will know that without the definite article here 'The' ( greek Ho) the Noun becomes ANARTHROS meaning a descriptive noun. The word thus was made of 'god' yes a divine being, having 'divine nature' ( theiotos) As the 'only begotten son from a father' it follows that the Son was exactly the image & likeness of his father, the Supreme God that Jesus himself worshipped! "Am ascending to MY GOD & your God, Jesus tiold Mary ( John 20:18)
Matthew 4:10🧐🧐🧐 was Jesus looking in a mirror, or referring to himself, I don’t think so. I think we’re all jumping to conclusions and taking things out of context as humans do without divine intervention it is impossible to confirm the Trinity, or that Jesus is Michael the archangel. My personal opinion you’re both wrong and knowing this has no bearing on my salvation Jesus is our Lord and Savior that is true. Is he the original true God or was he created? ❤️ We are to be zealous for one another, other Christians in the body of Christ. Not only do we serve one another with the gifts we have but we love one another as best as we are able. Then he adds, “since love covers a multitude of sins.” All religions from my perspective are guilty of going beyond what is written, and enforcing their own doctors were told over and over and scripture do not follow men nobles, or kings. Does that exclude you we’re all individually responsible for seeking truth not be followers of anybody that’s human anyways, all religions have the same obligation to represent truth. They were all dropping the ball from where I’m sitting.

@@ericschaeffer8288 God never said trinity neither did Jesus nor did the holy spirit inspire it so therefore there is no trinity. are you denying the very God of Jesus?
@@leejohnson6328 There is one God. . The Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are distinct persons with different functions, but they are all identified as God. -The Father is called God in 2 Peter 1:17 - Jesus is called God in John 20:28 - The Holy Spirit is called God in Acts 5:1-9 I know it is hard to follow, but this much we know, Jesus left His exalted position to become a servant that is submitted to the Father... He calls Himself God, was called God by others and did things that were only reserved for God. The only way to explain all of these things is to say that Jehovah is made up of three persons... He is one, but reveals Himself as three.
@@ericschaeffer8288 are you here saying no to the God of Jesus? we know that no verse ever says trinity the bible never says the trinity is a person even Jerusalem was called a she but that did not mean it was a person. thomas did not say Jesus is my God all he said out of excitement was My Lord and My God he was not saying My God to Jesus Revelation chapter five shows that there is no trinity it shows the holy spirit is like candles not a person. It shows God on the throne and Jesus before the throne this is not a trinity. The HOly wind is not a person but the power of God
@@leejohnson6328 look at all the evidence you are forced to make excuses for: JESUS IS CALLED: "mighty God" (Isaiah 9:6) "God with us" (Matthew 1:23) "my Lord and my God" (John 20:28) "great God and Savior" (Titus 2:13) "God and Savior" (2 Peter 1:1) JESUS SAID: "Before Abraham was born, I am" (John 8:58) "the Father and I are one" (John 10:30) "he that sees Me, sees the Father" (John 14:9) "I am the First and the Last" (Rev. 1:17-18) "I am the Alpha and Omega" (Rev. 22:12-13) JESUS DID THINGS ONLY RESERVED FOR JEHOVAH: Raise Himself from the dead. (John 2:19-21, 10:18) Receives worship. (Mat. 2:11,14:33, 28:9, John 9:38, Heb. 1:6) Forgives sins (Mark 2:5-7) Only name by which to be saved (Acts 4:12) These things do not make any sense, unless of course, Jesus is Jehovah.
Jesus is no God of a god. He is human and not have any pre exist before his born in heaven. Trinity dogma is even more worse than the Watchtowers dogma's all together. Church teaching it is what you are doing
Good research and video! I however do NOT believe Jesus is God but I do appreciate your point of view. There is no way God could ever be tempted by the Devil like Jesus was. I see so many trintarians quoting new testament scriptures and trying to talk about Greek and yet they dont even comprehended the first 3 chapters of the book of Genesis. What was the PURPOSE in tempting Jesus? Read the first 3 chapters in Genesis with this in mind than you will comprehend WHY Jesus CANNOT be God. Nice video though
@@ericschaeffer8288 my view of Genesis and the bible in general is very simple, God made all things and saw that they were good the devil notices this and wanted to turn everything God made away from him anything but worship God was the Devils plan. The temptation of Jesus was just that, to turn him away from being obedient to his father. Now if Jesus and God were "the same person" what purpose would the temptation serve? To turn Jesus away from himself? Your context of supposed trinitarian scriptures lack depth and understanding as a whole for example: does Jesus have the same knowledge as God? Matt. 24:36. Does he have the same authority? Matt. 28: 18. Does Jesus worship the father? 1 Cor. 15:27,28. Quoting Greek words or scholars means nothing if you dont comprehend the big picture of who Jesus is and his role in Gods plan. God bless you brother!
@@ericolmos7816 I am having trouble seeing how Genesis disproves Jesus’ Deity. As for some of the other passages, I have always seen those in light of Philippians 2:6-8 where Jesus emptied Himself of His Deity and took on the role of a servant. He came down to earth and was obedient to the Father. He became our perfect example... praying to the Father, watching to see where the Father is at work, relying on the Father, etc. In other words, we have to remember that Jesus was in a temporary lower position as a servant while He was here on Earth. This is shown in John 17:5 where He says, "And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was." Try looking at 1 Corinthians 15 in light of subjection, not superiority.
@@ericschaeffer8288 I think with all do respect that you missed the point of 1 cor. 15:27, 28. You say Jesus took a "temporary" subjection position when he was on earth however please go back and reread 1 cor. 15:27, 28 and ask yourself when will Jesus subject himself to God? On earth or when he is in heaven as an enthroned king? Hint: it's in the verse lol. We agree the watchtower society is a false prophet who has mislead and literally killed people with their blood doctrine which I wish you would have touched on. But the Trinity or rather lack thereof is one thing they actually have right who would have figured lol keep posting videos! You do great research and the video was well made!!
@@ericolmos7816 1Corinthians 15 makes perfect sense with a subjection/Trinitarian perspective. It does not make sense with a inferiority/Trinitarian perspective. It also does not make sense with a Unitarian perspective. With the latter, God does not have control of the kingdom for a period of time. “Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power.” 1 Corinthians 15:24 NIV The Triune God of the Bible has authority over His creation at all times. The invented Unitarian god contradicts 20-30 Scriptures and does not have authority of creation for a period of time. I realize that Watchtower indoctrination runs deep, even after leaving, but try to read the Bible for what it actually says, not for what you have been taught. Hope that helps
"They will defend their heresies to the bitter end." - A good choice of words, Eric, as the end of all false doctrine is indeed BITTER.

Very good video!
Watchtower is corrupt
Indeed
Since we’re discussing translations, could someone please answer my question here? -> What bible do JWs use in Greece? Do they 1) use the original Greek source or 2) do they use a Greek translation of the English JW NWT bible? And, if it’s #2, why are there any Greek JWs since it should be very easy for them to see the inaccuracies in the NWT?
English to greek
Yes, but, there is the fact to consider that the Greek spoken today is not nearly the same as it was at the time the Septuagint or the New Testament were written. It is sometimes estimated that a speaker of modern Greek can understand about 50 % of a text written in Old Greek. (As an English speaker, you would have similar problems when trying to read a text in Old or even Middle English.)
If original is used they will be told eventually no. Original text does not matter to jw, they have own version. I thiiiink there might be slight variations in it compared to english, but they put in Jehovas name. But weird they have kjv online that really has hardly the name in it. If i remember correctly. And they might go with yaweh for short while too, for those not ready for jehovah.
@@daisymacy1351 the king James version has Jehovah in it about 4 times it appears.
They are under ban in Greece they have many congregations there , l don't know if other religions or faiths are tolerated by the Greek government ? Or the Greek Othordox church ? ?
They used the Greber bible as a reference. The Greber bible used spiritism (talking to the dead) to re-translate certain passages. So the jw bible is literally demon inspired.
That’s right!
Thanks for sharing this study with us Eric. God Bless
You’re welcome
With regards to the addition of the word 'other' in Colossians. Until the latest edition of their excuse for a bible, the word was in brackets. In the grey bible it's unashamedly in the text. When I questioned this on Quora, I received the scholarly reply that TA PANTA means 'the all'. Still no 'other' though!

Man, Eric, I wish I would have discovered your channel a couple months ago. I've been researching to understand the JW religion so I could be equipped for my encounters with them. So far, your videos have been a gold mine of useful information and you've presented them in an easily digestible way. I really like the addition of the early church father's writings as well. I think those present a crystal clear confirmation to the foundational doctrines found in scripture.

In the KIT John 20: 28 in their Greek when Thomas sees the risen Lord he says to Jesus “The Lord of me, The God of me.” The definite article in the Greek.
And Jesus took that as a statement of faith and did not correct him. Thomas, being a Jew, would never call a man God. thanks
Very nice to meet you! Yes, great information indeed!
I’m curious, does your area have a lot of Jehovahs Witnesses? I think it’s cool your church lets you do that!
John 3.17 the voice said this is my son the beloved who I have approved ? If Jesus is God who was talking?
God the Father and Jesus are not the same person.
I have always seen that verse in light of Philippians 2:6-8 where Jesus emptied Himself of His Deity and took on the role of a servant. He came down to earth and was obedient to the Father. He became our perfect example... praying to the Father, watching to see where the Father is at work, relying on the Father, etc.
In other words, we have to remember that Jesus was in a temporary lower position as a servant while He was here on Earth. This is shown in John 17:5 where He says, "And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was."
@@ericschaeffer8288 True, Jesus and his Father, our Heavenly Father are not one in the same. Jesus is begotten from God, the Father. That is, God issued forth Jesus from Himself, and thus Jesus is f the very same essence of God, which is why Jesus could say "If you have seen me, you have seen the Father." Jesus prayed to the Father who never left His lofty abode in heaven, which is why God's voice was heard from heaven while Jesus was on the earth. The *bosom* position that Jesus had with his Father was unique only to himself. Jesus is not a created angel and nor is he the arc-angel Michael. Jesus is unique being literally from the Father's essence of being, a piece of the Father as it were.

Very well done brother 🙏🙏🙏🙏
@Eric thank you some much for this beautiful rendering they have revised their NWT again exodus 3:14 has a complete different meaning to explicitly mislead what John 8:58 means ..
I would appreciate your take on that..
How can JW say Jesus is an archangel, but genesis says he is "a" god according to their own translation??? I am having this same argument with my while family. They are all Jehovah Witness and i left and became Christian. When the sciptures are discussed about everything this video is saying they just turn it to an argument and they just get up and walk away. They even have a book called Examining the Scriptures, but when any confronting scipture challenges their beliefs, they dont even try to examine it but rather call you a deciever....sad....
Very true. It is difficult to get a Jehovahs Witness to see his or her error. It can be done. It’s kind of like chopping down a large tree with a hatchet. It takes many swings over a long period of time, but the tree will usually fall if you don’t give up:)

Thank you!
One of the strongest scriptures identifying Jesus as Jehovah for me is John 12:41 where John, speaking about Jesus, states that Isaiah saw His glory and spoke of him. The reference is to Isa 6:1-10. The NWT study bible notes that Isaiah saw Jesus and Jehovah, but John says he saw Him not them. Also, the NWT study bible note contradicts Watchtower's teaching that Jesus was Michael the Arch angel prior to becoming human because they identified him as Jesus.
Jesus is Michael
@@scottgrey2877 Aside from the bible never stating anywhere that Jesus is Michael, your answer as is fails to explain why John attributes who Isaiah saw (Is 6), in Isaiah's vision of Jehovah on his throne, to Isaiah having seen Jesus (read John 12:37-42).
@@TruthHasSpoken only Michael standeth for Israel
@@scottgrey2877 I'll go with Scripture, not 8 fallible men.
The Lord Said to My Lord (Mt 22:44-45) -
“Jehovah [Gk: kyrios] said to my Lord [kyrios]: ‘Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies beneath your feet?’ If, then, David calls him Lord [kyrios], how is he his son?”
‘But about which of the angels has he ever said: “Sit at my right hand until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet”?’ “ (Heb 1:13).
If the Governing Body can get the Locusts in Joel wrong for decades and decades, believing the Locusts were Jehovah's Witnesses, they must admit that they could be wrong on Jesus being Michael ... to say nothing of their admitting that they could be wrong on Jesus being created. When you are fallible, you must ALWAYS admit that you could be ... wrong.
Russell did not believe he was.
_“Let all the angels of God worship him [that must include Michael] …”_ (Zion’s Watch Tower, July 1879, 9)
Later, Zion’s Watch Tower’s November 1879 issue, page 49, said ALL the angels of God are to worship Jesus ... "that must include Michael."
@@TruthHasSpoken why does Daniel 12 not mention Jesus? Why only Michael standeth for Israel?
Born and raised a JW . I left a couple of years ago but it’s left such a vacuum , these comments arguing back and forth gives me a headache . Why can’t it be simple? Surely it should be simple . I’ll continue to look to Jesus and try to be like him but it’s really difficult
I understand your perspective. I believe it can be simple. Just read the Bible for what it plainly says. When organizations twist words or even add/subtract words to change the meaning, then we find the text getting very confusing
Doesn't Apocalypse 3:14 says ..that Jesus was the first creature Jehová created in heaven ?
Firstborn also means to be put in charge of. Yahweh said in Psalm 89:27 that he will make King David his Firstborn.
“I also shall make him My first-born, the highest of the kings of the earth.”
Thanks for your research 🎉❤.
Amen!
When Jesus was baptized Jehovah said "this is my son who I approve. Who was Jesus praying to? Also see John 20: 17...How would you explain this scripture?

Hello and thank you for this video. I am having trouble understanding and following what you mean when the watchtower calls Jesus Lord instead of God. I use the KJV bible and my verses say the same thing. Would you be ever so kind to help me understand what you are explaining as I would like to understand what you are referencing. Thankyou very much again for your video.
"when the watchtower calls Jesus Lord instead of God"
Where the Greek says _kyrios_ [Lord] in reference to Jesus, Watchtower substitutes and says _Jehovah._ This causes the text to be twisted, distorted, repeatedly in showing Jesus is God.
The original manuscripts? Where are those located?
Its amazing how seriously naive are Jehovah's Witnesses. They wholeheartedly believe everything that the deveptive Watchtower tell them, without checking it out for themselves. JW's totally ignore the many false prophecies of the Watchtower, and their deliberately falsified NWT Bible.
Sad but true!

This is informative a d disappointing as I havbeen studying with the Jehovahs witnesses and felt it strange they like to give you their Bible to study vs using your own. But i hate to be deceived above all else and the bible says if you add to the bible you are cursed. Even adding the word other
In John 3:16 the word Thoes is used and NOT Theon.... I stumbled on that in 2019
Our FATHER in the heavens our CREATOR is not Jesus. Jesus called out to his father in heaven, he did not call out to himself. In Philippians it says even Jesus did not ever compare himself to GOD.

@@michellefinklestein3219 Thanks for the response. I hear you. I too believe in the unchanged message in the Holy Scriptures as given to the prophets by the breathed word of GOD. That message has stood the test of time...salvation is in a person, Jesus Christ, and not in knowing\having the right pronunciation of a Name. (why not at least look into this, what have you got to lose?). If you need the help of a 5th dimension mind to guide you, then you are already on the wrong path, this is not Biblical. Instead, as stated in your own Bible, speak to the "helper" that Jesus left you and He (person) will guide you (John 16:7-8 NWT). The helper is the Spirit of The Father (Matthew 10:20 NWT). May the Holy Spirit do the work in you and set you free. Jesus loves you so much. God bless. Peace ✝
Even a Christian cannot brush aside the worship of Jehovah as God. In Revelation 1:5 the Son of God called himself "Jesus Christ, 'The Faithful Witness.'" When on earth as a man he was a Jew, an Israelite, to whose nation the words of Isaiah 43:10 were written: "'You are my witnesses, ' is the utterance of Jehovah, 'even my servant whom I have chosen.'" Jesus demonstrated that he was a faithful and true witness of Jehovah God. His genuine disciples today must be the same kind of witnesses, Jehovah's.
Read Philippians 2. Jesus emptied Himself of His Deity, took on the roll of a servant, even unto death on a cross
But they stayed at a Holiday Inn....
Jesse Torres you are on the money. These statements are missing the Torah mindset that puts it in its proper comprehension. The view has a merit only when viewed from this end of time backwards to the 1st century writers, but the trick is to look at it from the other end coming forward to the 1st Century. Jesus is Jehovah but not the way modern man understands it, as this presentation shows, only through the Hebrew mindset can you see it, and brother you got it!
And yet there is so much more to grasp.
This duality expressed as a singleness is not comprehensible through the lense of Latin and Helenistic thought people. Come from the other end and again as the author of this video implores, be exegesis, in your view from the other end also. There are always to side to a coin, but God is multi faceted and you must not box him into left and right, stuck on your views of words and spellings. Satan is surely deceiving as Isaiah48 expresses, that is one reason they call it spelling!!! No matter what the language it is in, its casting a spell over heart and mind, be careful to be patient of your acquisition of knowledge, for the path to life is one of faith and not of correct or be it incorrect comprehension of grammar!

Even scholars admit that the King James bible is also biased too...because it was collated by Trinitarians themselves. They inserted the spurious wording in 1 John 5:7 to support their unscriptural Trinity belief.
The NWT is not alone in mistranslation. This is true. However, the NWT is probably the most blatant in its effort to deceive people by hiding Jesus’s Deity… you should watch my video on “Taking Deception to Another Level”
@@ericschaeffer8288 whatever you want to believe in the bible is plain as day that Jesus is not some God-man. Such an thinking or even idea was repulsive to the Jews in Jesus' day and such a belief would merit you their capital punishment of death, because to the Jews it was a blasphemy for any human person to claim to be God in the flesh....they would stone you to death!...

"Before Abraham was, I AM.". This is Christ declaring Himself YAHWEH.
The very word "Jehovah" is a 13th c translation error by Raymundus Martini, a Catholic monk who inserted the vowel points of Adonai into the consonants of YHWH (the vowel points were above the consonants as a reminder, to guard against saying the Divine Name, so Holy it was to the Jews). Watchtower, in one of their own publications, called it a blunder. I'll bet the 99.9% of current Witnesses don't know this. Does it HONOR God to call him by the WRONG name?
‘As to the Old Testament name of God, certainly the spelling and pronunciation “Jehovah” were originally a blunder. But the spelling and the pronunciation are not highly important. What is highly important is to keep it clear that this is a personal name. (The Bible in Living English, 1972, p.7).
Watchtower also said :
“Yes, many Bible scholars acknowledge that ‘Yahweh’ more nearly represents the Hebrew pronunciation of the Divine Name”(WT, July 15, 1964, p. 423)
“Hebrew scholars generally favor “Yahweh” as the most likely pronunciation” (Aid To Bible Understanding, 1971, p. 885)
“ ’Jehovah’ ” is the best known English pronunciation of the Divine name, although “Yahweh” is favored by most Hebrew scholars” (Insight on the Scriptures, 1988, vol. 2, p. 5)

If Jehovah is Jesus, why did he say" This is my beloved son in whom i am well pleased, listen to him"

What God is : the One Divine Being (YHWH) ... comparatively, Eyabiflorence is a human being
Who God is : three persons. Jesus is speaking to the Father. comparatively, Eyabiflorence is one person.
So the person of the Father is saying, listen to my son (second person of the Trinity).
"While Jesus was on the stake, he prayed and said Father why have you forsaken me.Let your will not my will be done.????"
Jesus is quoting the first line of Psalm 22: _My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?_ Psalm 22 is foretells of the Messiah to come.; Jesus is saying that Psalm 22 - its entirety - applies to him. He is the Messiah !

The witnesses have never gotten one thing right.
They are spiritually and intellectually lazy.
Unable, and unwilling to engage on Apologetics, they are cannot defend their faith using the Bible alone.
Indeed the witnesses neither believe in or use the Bible.
The Bible will not support their beliefs.
They have written for themselves a "bible" to be used in conjunction with the books, magazines, and other propaganda publications.
The Bible does not use the word "trinity" it uses the word Godhead, and so should we.
The fullness of the Godhead dwells in Christ.
The Diety of Christ is the cornerstone of Christianity, as supported by scripture.
Have you looking into why the trinity DOCTRINE is so wide spread?
Titus 2:13 is not in agreement with what is read at Titus 1:4 which clearly makes a distinction between Jesus the Son and God the father...thus showing them to be 2 persons.
"The Greek literally says “…of the great God and Savior of us Christ Jesus” (tou mealou Theou kai Soteros hemon Christou Iesou.) When read literally and without the comma and added word “of,” the “great God” is the same as the “Savior of us.”
Please look at the context. Notice God is Savior in verse 10 and Jesus is God and Savior in verse 13.

“our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,”

@@ericschaeffer8288 God saves by means of his Son, Jesus christ so yes both are called 'savior' in the bible...but nowhere in the scriptures does Jesus ever claim to be God himself or a God-man. The Jews viewed it a blasphemy for anyone to claim or insinuate that he's God in the flesh. Their punishment for that was death by stoning or other means. The jews did not entertain the idea that Jesus is God the father like when he asked Simon Peter to confirm or say who he really is. What did Simon say?- (Matt.16:16) The Jews had wrongly thought that Jesus was making himself to be God or equal to God...Jesus tried to correct their wrong thinking by quoting from Psalms 82:6 to No avail.

Yahweh spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. He turned again into the camp, but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, didn't depart out of the Tent.
Young's Literal Translation
And Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses face unto face, as a man speaketh unto his friend; and he hath turned back unto the camp, and his minister Joshua, son of Nun, a youth, departeth not out of the tent.

Ezekiel 34
Isaiah 30,31
12:30 the word kyrios (Lord) has not been changed for Jesus; it has been changed to Jehovah for God since Isaiah refers to God Jehovah. However, your own propaganda does not point out that Lord was changed to Jehovah because Isaiah says so, rather you gripe it hasnt been changed for Jesus. It is because kyrios means Lord not Jehovah. And although you call it a quote of Jehovah, our Paul makes it clear what your propaganda ignores HE ADDS to the glory of God Jehovah. So Paul is very open-mined and clear that his own demon crowd around him are just like you trying to make issue whether it is God or Jesus so they can trash Jesus. While you try to raise Jesus to BE God himself, he was speaking to those who needed to see the knees bend to Jesus FOR God Jehovah.
I listened up to this point because WT is bias and i know where they are biased. BUT you fabricate this here pettiness to create your own bias propaganda.
Richard, there are many passages that confirm this same message:
Revelation 1:8 - Jehovah said He is the Alʹpha and the O·meʹga.
Revelation 22:12-13 - Jesus gave Himself the same title.
Isaiah 44:6 - Jehovah said He is the First and the Last.
Revelation 1:17-18 - Jesus gave Himself the same title.
Acts 3 - Jehovah raised Christ from the dead.
John 2:19-21 - Christ said He will raise Himself.
Matthew 4:10 - Only Jehovah must receive worship.
Matthew 14:33, 28:9, Hebrews 1:6, and Revelation 5:6-9, 12-14 - Jesus receives worship.
Romans 10:13- Whoever calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved.
Acts 4:12 - Jesus is the only name by which we must be saved.
And then there are verses like Thomas calling Jesus "My Lord and my God" and Jesus saying "When you see Me, you see the Father." The list can go on and on.
The point I’m trying to make here is that there are many Scriptures that show Jehovah and Jesus as One and the same.
"A lie Told Often Enough Becomes The Truth". I thought this was going to be about the trinity.
The Trinity is biblical, the Bible is the word of God and God is infallible, therefore must be truth. The only way to deny the trinity is if you follow the traditions of men such as Charles Russell who proves false to his teachings and failed the Deuteronomy 18 test multiple times.
@@TruLuan Neither the word nor the explicit concept are found in the scriptures. You have been told this lie of the trinity long enough to believe it.
Was Bro Russell wrong about a number of things? Absolutely. If you wish to condemn him, that is up to you.
But not only are you wrong about a number of things, but about the very foundation. Who God is!
(1 Corinthians 8:6) there is actually to us one God, the Father, from whom all things are and we for him; and there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are and we through him.
This is what the Bible teaches, and what I believe.
@@777Tralfaz777 The word not being in the Bible is simply an asinine argument. Terms are used to define a teaching. With your logic, that's like saying a specific illness never existed in history until a term for that illness was coined. Just because there wasn't a term for it doesn't mean it never happened. And please explain to me why the Holy spirit is referred to as a "He" and how the Holy spirit can be lied to if it's not God but what you guys believe it to be which is the Star wars force.
Acts 5:3-4 (RSV):
"But Peter said, 'Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back part of the proceeds of the land? While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? How is it that you have contrived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.'"
John 16:13-14 (RSV):
"When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you."
Romans 8:26-27 (RSV):
"Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with sighs too deep for words. And he who searches the hearts of men knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God."
@@TruLuan You said "The word not being in the Bible is simply an asinine argument."
And yet that was not what I said. I said neither the word nor the explicit concept. A foundational doctrine should be in the Bible, and the trinity is not.
You said "And please explain to me why the Holy spirit is referred to as a "He""
It is called personification, as even spilled blood is said to "call out" from the ground.
You said "how the Holy spirit can be lied to if it's not God
Holy spirit comes from God. God sends it to do whatever God wishes. People can resist it. Holy spirit was proof Jesus had God's approval, yet the people back then accused Jesus of being able to do the powerful works by means of Satan, or Beelzabub.
(John 8:54) Jesus answered: “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, the one who you say is your God.
Who did the Jews claim to worship? Who did the Jesus identify this one as?
God giving Jesus holy spirit to do these miracles was how God glorified Jesus. Was proof God backed Jesus.
Acts 2:32 God resurrected this Jesus, and of this we are all witnesses. 33 Therefore, because he was exalted to the right hand of God and received the promised holy spirit from the Father, he has poured out what you see and hear.
Who did Jesus receive the holy spirit from? What did he then do with it?
If you wish to mock the power from God, and say it is like the force from Star Wars, be careful.
@@TruLuan Sir or mame, if what you said is true, why is it not reflected at 1 Cor 8:6?

Eric Schaeffer Thus the Holy Bible of which Jehovah God is the one Author was completed by means of his witnesses, even as it had been begun by means of them. Consequently, with no room allowed for Scriptural contradiction, it may be said that The Holy Bible is the Book by Jehovah's witnesses. As Revelation 19:6 exclaims, "Hallelujah!"
Hey John if you are going to continue posting this nonsense that the bible is the book by the JWs i will continue coping and pasting the question you seem to avoid answering -
-who was it that preserved the bible by hand copying the Holy Scriptures over and over throughout the centuries before the invention of the printing press for the rest of the world to enjoy? Was that really the JWs in the early and middle ages with the monks doing the scribe work? Or did the Catholic church do this painstaking work for the JWs?
Dear John Colage,
We know that the Watchtower has printed the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures. This “translation” so often contradicts not only other good English translations but good t translations into other languages as well.
Because of its practice of “Theocratic Warfare” (lying) most members in positions of authority in the Watchtower are thus caught living in contradiction to the Holy Scriptures.
John Cologne ......Whose crap are you smelling ....Do the words ,DONT go beyond the things written mean anything to you !.....share in Thier sins then !
Bible=Word of God.
NWT=ever changing word of watchtower.
The Bible will not support the beliefs of the witnesses.
They deny the Diety of Christ, the cornerstone of Christianity.
The God of Christianity is our Great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, as supported by scripture.
Watchtower is antiChrist.

E DEVIL-INSPIRED TEACHINGS
It was the Devil who told Eve: "You positively will not die." (Genesis 3:4; Revelation 12:9) But she did die, no part of her lived on. That the soul lives on after death is a lie started by the Devil. And it is also a lie, which the Devil has had spread, that the souls of the wicked are tormented in a hell or purgatory. Since the Bible clearly shows that the dead are unconscious, these teachings could not be true. Actually, neither the word "purgatory nor the idea of a purgatory is found in the Bible.
You should watch my teaching on Hell. It will help you.

Agnostic is the best
The word 'God' Theos literally means 'a powerful godlike one ( see vines greek dictionary) Jewish leaders were called 'gods' ( See John 10:34) The Jews claimed Jesus was calling himself 'God' yet he corrected them and said...wait for it "I am God's son" ( verse 36). The problem is John 1:1 "Ther word was God" ( Anyone knowing the greek will know that without the definite article here 'The' ( greek Ho) the Noun becomes ANARTHROS meaning a descriptive noun. The word thus was made of 'god' yes a divine being, having 'divine nature' ( theiotos) As the 'only begotten son from a father' it follows that the Son was exactly the image & likeness of his father, the Supreme God that Jesus himself worshipped! "Am ascending to MY GOD & your God, Jesus tiold Mary ( John 20:18)
Did you watch this video… half of what you said is thoroughly explained and refuted… please finish watching before blurting empty logic
Matthew 4:10🧐🧐🧐 was Jesus looking in a mirror, or referring to himself, I don’t think so. I think we’re all jumping to conclusions and taking things out of context as humans do without divine intervention it is impossible to confirm the Trinity, or that Jesus is Michael the archangel. My personal opinion you’re both wrong and knowing this has no bearing on my salvation Jesus is our Lord and Savior that is true. Is he the original true God or was he created? ❤️ We are to be zealous for one another, other Christians in the body of Christ. Not only do we serve one another with the gifts we have but we love one another as best as we are able. Then he adds, “since love covers a multitude of sins.” All religions from my perspective are guilty of going beyond what is written, and enforcing their own doctors were told over and over and scripture do not follow men nobles, or kings. Does that exclude you we’re all individually responsible for seeking truth not be followers of anybody that’s human anyways, all religions have the same obligation to represent truth. They were all dropping the ball from where I’m sitting.
I’m trying to follow what you’re saying… but I believe your are confusing Trinitarianism and Modalism
stopped the video at 29sec. instead of effing around to have people play guessing games as to what is the most distractive weapon while showing a slide show of sticks and rocks, just get to the point and save up from destructive introductions. im going to guess - a lie.
You should be glad that there are that many people applying the Word of God to their lives. Leave them alone. Why bother? People harass LDS, also.. The future of 'Christianity' is NOT CHRISTIANITY! 🤔 Think about it. He is coming with A NEW NAME! Ref Rev. 3:12, 2:17 and others.. Who will follow Him, and where will
Anyone can teach anything with that mindset… we must adhere to the True Word of God
@@ericschaeffer8288 thanks for the reply! :) It is easier accept the Witness and Mormons in context of 'the Bahai religion..' I would not necessarily want to be 'caught up' in either group - Allah'u'abha - but each has 'a notion' of 'the Kingdom' being 'a government' and so they behave that way...
no one in any verse in any bible ever used the word trinity. Jesus told all he was created and that he has a God
I agree the word “Trinity” is not in the Bible. The Trinity doctrine, however, is throughout the Bible in both the Old and New Testaments
@@ericschaeffer8288 God never said trinity neither did Jesus nor did the holy spirit inspire it so therefore there is no trinity. are you denying the very God of Jesus?
@@leejohnson6328 There is one God.
.
The Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are distinct persons with different functions, but they are all identified as God.
-The Father is called God in 2 Peter 1:17
- Jesus is called God in John 20:28
- The Holy Spirit is called God in Acts 5:1-9
I know it is hard to follow, but this much we know, Jesus left His exalted position to become a servant that is submitted to the Father... He calls Himself God, was called God by others and did things that were only reserved for God.
The only way to explain all of these things is to say that Jehovah is made up of three persons... He is one, but reveals Himself as three.
@@ericschaeffer8288 are you here saying no to the God of Jesus?
we know that no verse ever says trinity
the bible never says the trinity is a person even Jerusalem was called a she but that did not mean it was a person.
thomas did not say Jesus is my God all he said out of excitement was My Lord and My God he was not saying My God to Jesus
Revelation chapter five shows that there is no trinity it shows the holy spirit is like candles not a person. It shows God on the throne and Jesus before the throne this is not a trinity. The HOly wind is not a person but the power of God
@@leejohnson6328 look at all the evidence you are forced to make excuses for:
JESUS IS CALLED:
"mighty God" (Isaiah 9:6)
"God with us" (Matthew 1:23)
"my Lord and my God" (John 20:28)
"great God and Savior" (Titus 2:13)
"God and Savior" (2 Peter 1:1)
JESUS SAID:
"Before Abraham was born, I am" (John 8:58)
"the Father and I are one" (John 10:30)
"he that sees Me, sees the Father" (John 14:9)
"I am the First and the Last" (Rev. 1:17-18)
"I am the Alpha and Omega" (Rev. 22:12-13)
JESUS DID THINGS ONLY RESERVED FOR JEHOVAH:
Raise Himself from the dead. (John 2:19-21, 10:18)
Receives worship. (Mat. 2:11,14:33, 28:9, John 9:38, Heb. 1:6)
Forgives sins (Mark 2:5-7)
Only name by which to be saved (Acts 4:12)
These things do not make any sense, unless of course, Jesus is Jehovah.
Jesus is no God of a god. He is human and not have any pre exist before his born in heaven.
Trinity dogma is even more worse than the Watchtowers dogma's all together. Church teaching it is what you are doing

Good research and video! I however do NOT believe Jesus is God but I do appreciate your point of view. There is no way God could ever be tempted by the Devil like Jesus was. I see so many trintarians quoting new testament scriptures and trying to talk about Greek and yet they dont even comprehended the first 3 chapters of the book of Genesis. What was the PURPOSE in tempting Jesus? Read the first 3 chapters in Genesis with this in mind than you will comprehend WHY Jesus CANNOT be God. Nice video though
Interesting. Help me understand your perspective. What religious context do you come from? What do you see in Genesis?
@@ericschaeffer8288 my view of Genesis and the bible in general is very simple, God made all things and saw that they were good the devil notices this and wanted to turn everything God made away from him anything but worship God was the Devils plan. The temptation of Jesus was just that, to turn him away from being obedient to his father. Now if Jesus and God were "the same person" what purpose would the temptation serve? To turn Jesus away from himself? Your context of supposed trinitarian scriptures lack depth and understanding as a whole for example: does Jesus have the same knowledge as God? Matt. 24:36. Does he have the same authority? Matt. 28: 18. Does Jesus worship the father? 1 Cor. 15:27,28. Quoting Greek words or scholars means nothing if you dont comprehend the big picture of who Jesus is and his role in Gods plan. God bless you brother!
@@ericolmos7816 I am having trouble seeing how Genesis disproves Jesus’ Deity. As for some of the other passages, I have always seen those in light of Philippians 2:6-8 where Jesus emptied Himself of His Deity and took on the role of a servant. He came down to earth and was obedient to the Father. He became our perfect example... praying to the Father, watching to see where the Father is at work, relying on the Father, etc.
In other words, we have to remember that Jesus was in a temporary lower position as a servant while He was here on Earth. This is shown in John 17:5 where He says, "And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was."
Try looking at 1 Corinthians 15 in light of subjection, not superiority.
@@ericschaeffer8288 I think with all do respect that you missed the point of 1 cor. 15:27, 28. You say Jesus took a "temporary" subjection position when he was on earth however please go back and reread 1 cor. 15:27, 28 and ask yourself when will Jesus subject himself to God? On earth or when he is in heaven as an enthroned king? Hint: it's in the verse lol. We agree the watchtower society is a false prophet who has mislead and literally killed people with their blood doctrine which I wish you would have touched on. But the Trinity or rather lack thereof is one thing they actually have right who would have figured lol keep posting videos! You do great research and the video was well made!!
@@ericolmos7816 1Corinthians 15 makes perfect sense with a subjection/Trinitarian perspective. It does not make sense with a inferiority/Trinitarian perspective. It also does not make sense with a Unitarian perspective. With the latter, God does not have control of the kingdom for a period of time.
“Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power.”
1 Corinthians 15:24 NIV
The Triune God of the Bible has authority over His creation at all times. The invented Unitarian god contradicts 20-30 Scriptures and does not have authority of creation for a period of time.
I realize that Watchtower indoctrination runs deep, even after leaving, but try to read the Bible for what it actually says, not for what you have been taught.
Hope that helps
