What do JWs know?
Post #1I just had two JWs come to my house. They said that they do not believe in the Trinity, yet they were quoting from a bible whose canon was produced by Athanasius in 367 A.D., the same guy who was the main proponent of the Trinity doctrine at Constantine's Council of Nicaea. They apparently did not know that Athanasius produced the canon they used, and that he proposed doctrine which is opposite of what they believe. Is this a one off, or is lack of historical context part of the JWs normal routine? They gave their quote of the day, Rev 21:4, without context, and didn't know that Rev 22:15 applied to the same Jerusalem, and that those "who practice lying" would not "enter". As soon as I told them, they turned and walked quickly away. The second time in around so many weeks, that JWs came, and quickly walked away when confronted with their inconsistencies.

Re: What do JWs know?
Post #112You are looking for some reason to declare that the Son of God is not God in spite of the fact that the Bible tells us that the Son of God dwelt with Gid the Father in heaven since the beginning of time.JehovahsWitness wrote: ↑Mon Jan 13, 2025 1:32 amThat does not answer my question I asked about the expression "God the Son"

Post #114No, as I said before. The wording "God the Son" is not found in the KJV Bible.JehovahsWitness wrote: ↑Mon Jan 13, 2025 2:25 amI'm looking for you to answer the question asked.

Re: What do JWs know?
Post #116So is no record of Jesus actually the words "I am Almighty God" and nowhere in the bible did any of the inspired writers write the words "God the Son" . Wouldnt you say then ththese expressions are from a human man-made tradition rather than being direct quotes from inspired scripture.

Re: What do JWs know?
Post #118That doesn't answer my question. It's good to refer to the bible but you are using expressions that the bible NEVER uses. It's not a matter of understanding an expression when the expression isnt even there!marke wrote: ↑Mon Jan 13, 2025 4:43 pmThe Bible ...JehovahsWitness wrote: ↑Mon Jan 13, 2025 2:28 pmSo is no record of Jesus actually the words "I am Almighty God" and nowhere in the bible did any of the inspired writers write the words "God the Son" .

Re: What do JWs know?
Post #119The fact that the Bible does not use the words "Jesus is God,' or "The Son of God is God" does not mean that Jesus is not God or that the Son of God is not God. The Bible does not specifically use the wording "God is eternal" but that does not mean God is not eternal.JehovahsWitness wrote: ↑Mon Jan 13, 2025 5:07 pmThat doesn't answer my question.

Post #120GENESIS 21:33
And Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there he called upon the name of the LORD, the Eternal God. - Majority Standard Bible
But okay, give me q scripturre that says the personal name Jesus [Christ] and ALMIGHTY ; any order "Jesus the Almighy" , "Almighty Jesus" , "and Jesus said..."I'm Almighty" anything with those two specific words but in any order.
