Several Questions for Jehovah's Witnesses

Post #1

Post by placebofactor »

1. Who wrestled with Jacob in Genesis 32:24-25? And when Jacob wrote, in K.J.B. Genesis 32:30, "I have seen God (Elohim) face to face and my life has been preserved."
N.W.T. Genesis 32:30, "I have seen God (Elohim) Face to face and yet my soul was delivered."

2. Who did the parents of Samson see and make their offering to? And when it was over, Manoah said to his wife,

God or Elohim is in uppercase in both verses and both Bibles: The N.W.T. reads, "We shall positively die, because it is God (Elohim) that we have seen."
The K.J.B. reads, "We shall surely die, because we have seen God (Elohim)."

If you were a person off the street, and knew little about the Bible and had no religious affiliations, and read the verses above, who would you say the parents of Samson and Jacob saw? Please be honest in your response.

Is John 17:3 a comparison to the Father and Jesus to you? What a misinterpretation.
How is it that you don't even understand the context of John 17:3. JWs keep on quoting that verse but did not understand what the real message is. Try again, you might get it right.
Sorry, Capbook, you are the one who doesn't understand what the real message is in John 17:3. It is clear as day that Jesus is separate from the Father, and he said to the Father that the Father alone is the only true God. How you twist that is almost comical.
I believe we have eyes but cannot see? Can't we read the "this is eternal life" with the "and" in the text?
And who does have the life/eternal life in 1 John 5:11?

Jhn 17:3 “And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.
I don't see your point. You constantly say things without explaining what you mean. Can you make it clear?
I just remember the saying, "one word is enough for the wise."
I believe I have already presented this verses to you, can't you remember it?
Just answer the question, who has the life in 1 John 5:11?

1Jn 5:11 And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.
The eternal life that God gives is in Son. Jesus is the means by which Jehovah gives us life.

Good, can you honestly answer who has the eternal life in 1 John 5:20 based on 1 John 5:11?
This is just to confirm from you that the Father was telling the truth or you will make the Father a liar.
