Christians worship Christ; JW's do not!

You're an octogenarian and because of that, no doubt, you read and watched a lot of Science Fiction. Hopefully, that's the reason for these rather strange ideas? If that's not the reason, I would have to consider that you have some form of mental disorder? Do you find yourself rehashing the same story over and over, repeatedly? Do you see and hear things that others don't see and hear? Do you ever entertain fantasies of being a tribal leader in New Guinea from the 17th Century?

But it is the truth GM. The truth you and others ignore.

John 4.24 mentions nothing about 'Father only' worship, but, instead, declares worship to The Holy Spirit.


Mat 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Mat 6:10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Mat 6:11 Give us this day our daily bread.
Mat 6:12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
Mat 6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.


In my Bibles Jesus teaches us to pray to the FATHER.

Joh 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

I'm not an "Old Codger" yet as I am only 82. But I have forgotten more than you will ever know for your stuck in the rut of tradition.

When I notice you disagree with something I've posted, it proves to me that I'm correct. Your 'theories' do not match up with what the Bible says. I believe my fellow posters ought to ignore and reject anything you have to say.

Greetings Grosnick Marowbe,
Here's a verse of Scripture I want you to ponder: Mark 10:18 "And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God."
Jesus could not lie, correct? Jesus told this man; "Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God."
Jesus says Himself; there is, ONLY one that is good and that is, "God." Was Jesus telling that man that He, Himself could not be considered; 'Good' or was He making Himself equal to God, therefore, He was 'Good,' as well. You can ONLY choose ONE of those possibilities. Either Christ IS 'Good' or He is NOT good, because ONLY God can be good.
Jesus was full of grace and truth, he was without sin, he was holy, harmless and undefiled. But in this context he could be referring to his human nature, his weakness and even the fact that he could sin. Only God the Father is inherently good.

Kind regards
Trevor

Not that it proves anything of course, but with regard to the Trinity I think it's interesting to note that Paul never once includes the Holy Spirit in any of his letter's salutations.

Christ was the 'Lamb of God,' as well as God the Son. Only a 'perfect' Lamb could be sacrificed for the sins of all humanity. Just as it was in the Old Testament sacrifices, so was it with Christ. So, if Christ was perfect (and He was) He was the ONLY one who could have been offered up at the cross. And, since, ONLY God is perfect, Then, Christ had to be God in the flesh.

An unblemished lamb HAD to be offered up.

Greetings again Grosnick Marowbe,
No. Christ could NOT sin. That's all I have to say to you.
At the beginning of his ministry, John the Baptist testified concerning Jesus:
John 1:29 (KJV): The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh awayd the sin of the world.
Now we know that in order to fulfill this role some three years later, it would be necessary for him to be sinless. I suggest that there is a big difference between “could NOT sin” and the way in which Jesus overcame sin during these three years. He had a struggle against sin in all its various manifestations. He was tempted in all points as we are, YET without sin Hebrews 4:15.

Kind regards
Trevor

All of humanity is born into sin. Therefore, God the Father could not have chosen a mere human to go to the cross with the sins of all humanity. Only a man who was, like God could accomplish what Christ succeeded in doing. And that man was God the Son.

God the Son was incapable of sin. Just as, God the Father is. Temptation only becomes sin if one gives into it. Christ was tempted, however, He, unlike us, wasn't capable of giving in to temptation. You, like some of the others here, don't seem to get it?
