When you speak about what Paul said, do you also refer to the six books falsely, lyingly, attributed to Paul? How about 2nd Peter and the Epistle of Jude, which all serious academics also say are forgeries? Does your god really spread his word thru forgeries? It's like starting an economy using a mix of genuine and counterfeit currency. Makes zero sense.

Perhaps the most amazing and cordial conversation I have ever seen concerning the Deity of Christ. Great job! -Mark Spence

[@deiu9999]

Indeed, I know people that are believers but still say there is no point in discussing with JW people becuause the discussion will lead nowhere, very disappointed by this way of thinking.... Well, I think with a little bit of research, love and full guidance from the Holy Spirit, it can be done so nicely. Jeff surely proves how discussions with them can be so fruitful and eye opening even for those who grew up with these teachings.

[@AskRemy]

than clearly you do not follow Jeff - still doesn't matter - these women do not want the truth and are incapable of following logic, they do not want God

[@deiu9999]

@@AskRemy So then, leave them in their deceitful state becuase they are a lost case anyway? I think we are to sow the seed as we do with other people in general. Indeed, if you want to speak with them, you need patience, knowledge about their teachings, great knowledge of the Bible and a humble heart and the motivation NEEDS to be love. Let's remember we have the Truth, we are to deliver it then it is God's job to convict their hearts. There are quite some examples of JW members who came to faith after the true Gospel was transmitted to them.

[@kelliemicheley]

​@@AskRemy of course they want God! They're just deceived. May God have mercy and guide them. Jeff is deceived too. The One God is Jesus Christ's God. And Jesus is the Son of God. May God have mercy and guide all of us. It isn't that believers don't want God. My heart weeps. For the oppression and confusion both false Watchtower and false trinity dogma have caused.

[@deiu9999]

@@AskRemy I get what you say, they are so rooted in their false teaching that many times it seems pointles talking to them but often we can see this level of hardening in unbelievers, but we do our duty of shining the light. That's our job. People may not show on the outside but the truth may do its work slowly from the inside. God can make them see also and He can do by His people who are willing to be used. We so often wait for immediate results but often God works not as we might expect.

I need to watch more of your channel, 2 Mormons just came to my doorstep to preach to me, and I didn't try and convert them and stop them from preaching false Gospel because I didn't feel I was equipped enough to do so. I need to read and prioritize the Bible, pray for me and these Mormon missionaries.

[@ginamiller6754]

I watched an Apologia Studios video for the first time almost 5 years ago. It was Jeff speaking to Mormons. I was very interested because my mil is Mormon and my husband exmormon. What hit me was I did not know the Bible well enough and didn’t feel I could share the gospel. It was extremely convicting and pushed me to begin spending time in Gods word daily. I have watched many videos from Apologia Studios and some other Pastors that help me understand the culture of that time. I hope this video has the same effect on you. Apologia Studios has tons of videos on witnessing to Mormons and other no Christian groups. Praise God that you clicked on this video!

[@tongakhan230]

(John 8:40) But now you are seeking to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Why did the Jews want to kill Jesus? Because he spoke the truth which he had heard from God. Why are people trying to 'kill' JWs? Same reason. (Matthew 24:9) “Then people will hand you over to tribulation and will kill you, and you will be hated by all the nations on account of my name. Like Jesus, JWs just cannot be ignored.

[@hischild8899]

@emmanuel uzu There are just as many that say He was God in human form. BOTH are true. But let's use the passage you chose, 1 Cor. 15. This passage affirms the trinity. When all prophesy has been fulfilled He, as Jesus Christ will return to where He was before creation. In Genesis God said 'Let us make man in our image'. Jesus said 'Before Abraham was I am'. There are several passages that affirm this. John 1:1-2 agrees with Genesis. John 17:5 Col.1:17 Jesus Christ was God's miraculous revelation of Himself. Once all has been completed He and the Father will return to their original ONE. Can we really understand this? Can we explain how He did this in human logic and reason? No. All who are born again KNOW He is God in flesh who gave Himself for our sin because no 'son of Adam' could.

THE BIBLE teaches that Jesus was MADE As Lord and Christ and as Son (ACTS 2:36, Prov 8, HEB 1:5), CREATED/PRODUCED/INSTALLED (Prov 8) , COME INTO BEING/MADE (Mat 21:42 - egeneto) and GIVEN LIFE by the Father - John 5:26 and it uses TODAY (Heb 1:5), and uses future tenses and is a prophecy in Isa 9:6 (Isa 9:6, - WILL BE) . If you are called MADE AND CREATED AND GIVEN LIFE, and NEVER CALLED in the BIBLE as Creator or Maker , then you are A CREATION. ALL FROM THE BIBLE From the Lord was this (this is referring to the chief cornerstone who is Jesus) , the word WAS is egeneto (made or came into being) - Matthew 21:42 and the exact Greek word used in John 1:3 - MADE, egeneto (came into being) - JESUS WAS MADE/CAME INTO BEING FROM THE FATHER , yes, Jesus was MADE/CREATED!, See also Acts 2:36, Heb 1:5, 1 john 5 Isa 9:6 the word Prince in the Prince of Peace means PATRON ANGEL also Leader. WHO IS the ONE LEADER that we have? Jesus. Now, that same exact Hebrew word was used for Daniel 12:1 which is used for Michael the Archangel. So are you saying there are MANY LEADERS now?

[@iane.salazar8480]

@@Johnnyprc Thank you for the question. I did not come to the decision to question and change my faith lightly. I prayed, studied, and did my own research to come to this conclusion. Everyday JWs ask people to research their faith, if anyone believes they have the truth, it should stand up to scrutiny. I encourage you to pray, to look at unbiased sources, research the history of the religion, take a close look at the bible translation you are using, and let God lead you. 1 Cor 15:20-28, The divinity of Jesus rests on the resurrection of Jesus (Romans 1:4) The sovereignty of Jesus rests on the resurrection of Jesus (Romans 14:9) Our justification rests on the resurrection of Jesus (Romans 4:25) Our regeneration rests on the resurrection of Jesus (1 Peter 1:3) Our ultimate resurrection rests on the resurrection of Jesus (Romans 8:11) v.27,28, "For He has put all things in subjection under His feet. But when He says, “All things are put in subjection,” it is clear that this excludes the Father who put all things in subjection to Him. 28 When all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him, so that God may be all in all. (NASB)" The submission the Son does not come from "inferiority," Jesus existed in the form of God. (Philippians 2:6) While Christ was on earth, He did not seek His own glory but the Father's. In the same manner the Father also gives glory to the Son by placing "all things in subjection under His feet." The subjection is in administrative order of the Godhead. A son will always be in subjection to his father, even if both are equal in substance. God the Father will always be God the Father, and God the Son will always be God the Son, and for all eternity they will always relate to each other as Father and Son.

My first question revolved around the deity of Christ. The same names for Jehovah in the OT are used for Jesus in the NT. Jesus claimed to be God, the religious leaders new this and they tried to stone Him for blasphemy. I encourage you to keep speaking with your friends, plant those small seeds and hopefully it will urge them to do their own research and come to the correct conclusion.

Of course there is a lot of things we can't explain. Like all the prophecies ever since the book of Genesis. But the truth is the truth, so far all the prophecies have come to pass. The bible says that Jesus became a man. New International Version Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said: “Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, (but a body you prepared for me;) In other words before Jesus took on human nature, ( flesh). What was he? He was God, one member of the triune God. Because God exists in 3 father, son and holyspirit. So before Jesus took on flesh he was one with the father. Sharing the glory with the Father , self existing with the father in total harmony, union. THE bible says Jesus took on the form of a servant . In order to take on the role of a servant You could not have been a servant. Jesus said if you don't believe me believe the works the miracles I done. New International Version But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.” It is clear that Jesus was doing the things That only God can do. If doing the things that only God can do Is not good enough for someone to believe, they must be blind. What more can you possibly want he lived out a life greater than anything written can explain. He lived a sinless and perfect life. No one on earth has ever done the works that he has done. He done it all. NOONE ELSE HAS EVER DONE ANYTHING CLOSE TO WHAT HE HAS DONE. HE LIVE THE LIFE THAT ONLY GOD COULD LIVE. HE DONE THE THINGS THAT ONLY GOD CAN DO. HE FORGIVES SINS. HE GIVES LIFE. HE IS THE SAVIOR.

You contradict the apostle Paul's words with your 3 persons in one God claim. The apostle Paul said: " To us there is one God , the Father...." ( 1 Corinthians 8: 6 ) This one God the Father is Jesus' *only * true God, whom he prayed to and taught that the true worshippers would be worshipping. ( John 17: 3; 4: 22-24.) As regards, Jesus, the apostle John concludes his chapter in connection to Jesus' identity: " But these have been written down so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and because of believing, you may have life by means of his name. ( John 20: 31.)

[@paulbrennan4163]

​@@celticmarmite6048 Why don't you guys read the *_REST_* of scripture instead of parroting the same scriptures over and over again? Do you think such a superficial and shallow reading of scripture is enough to disprove the trinity - a doctrine that has survived down through the centuries? Let me show you how verses such as 1 Corinthians 8:6 and 1 John 17:3 do not pose any problems for trinitarians. The problem with how John 17:3 is being used is that it doesn't prove anything at all unless you first load it with a unitarian presupposition. You have to first start off with the assumption that only one *_person_* can be the "only true God". Otherwise the argument fails completely. From a trinitarian perspective there *_IS_* only one true God. Therefore, Jesus calling the Father the "only true God" no more disqualifies himself as being that same one true God any more than Jesus addressing someone else as "man", means that he himself is not a man. Jesus saying that the Father is the only true God was not only a truth statement that in no in way contradicts the doctrine of the trinity, it was all Jesus could possibly utter at that time. Jesus could not POSSIBLY tell anyone at that time that he was God incarnate. For those people who are perishing the gospel is "veiled", which means that Jesus TRUE identity was deliberately hidden until AFTER his resurrection. Why otherwise do you think Jesus repeatedly went out of his way to hide his identity and hinted that something way too controversial for him to say would only be revealed after he returned to the Father? What do you think he was referring to? Similarly, 1 Corinthians 8:6 does disprove the trinity: "Yet for us there is but *one God,* the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but *one Lord,* Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live." I don't know why unitarians even bother refering to this verse, because using the SAME ARGUMENT we would have to conclude that the Father is not "Lord", which we _know_ from verses such as Matthew 11:25 simply isn't true. Despite this fact Paul says that there is only ONE Lord. If rather than creating a contradiction in scripture you look at the context of what Paul is saying you will see something completely different than what unitarians want this verse to say. Instead of trying to pit the Father against the Son the preceding verse shows us that Paul is actually pitting the "ONE God and ONE Lord" against "MANY gods and MANY lords": "For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”) (1 Corinthians 8:5) This passage has to do with idols, not with with whether or not Jesus is God, and the fact that he places Jesus with the Father rather than among the "so-called gods" proves that Jesus is NOT "a god" as the Watchtower would have us believe. Furthermore, the word Lord, when applied to Jesus, actually _MEANS_ God! Paul consistently used "God" and "Lord" because calling both of them "God" would be confusing and lead to polytheism which is a false teaching. If you don't think Lord means God then why do you think there are multiple verses in the NT concering Jesus where "kyrios" cross-references to YHWH in the OT? This is one example: "a voice of one calling in the wilderness, *‘Prepare the way for the Lord,* make straight paths for him.’" (Matthew 3:3) Compare it to Isaiah 40:3 and see who it refers to. Here is another: “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” (Romans 10:13) See Joel 2:32. We also have entire passages in Hebrews 1 that in the OT refer to YHWH being applied to Jesus, where the author claims explicitly that they were written "about the Son". This is because Jesus IS the YHWH of the old testament! If you want more evidence of this fact then ask me and I will show you something that stands in TOTAL contradiction of the Watchtowers "Big God/little god" theory.

Tonga is a very confused JW, so you have to exuse him. Mat 24:14 is a parable, as is made clear from Luke 12:41 when Peter says, “Lord, are you telling this parable for us or for all?” Who is the faithful and discrete slave (FDS)? Is it the church, the 144,000, a slave class, the GB, etc.? If Mat 24 was prophetic instead of a parable (as is clear from the context) then wouldn't it be clear who the FDS is? If Jesus chose a group to be his FDS, wouldn't they (and others know)? Yes! Yet JW's keep changing who the FDS is. Today the GB claims to be the FDS using circular reasoning (begging the question fallacy): 1. How do you know God chose the GB? Because the GB said so. 2. How do you know the GB are telling the truth? Because God chose the GB. So unless you drink the cool-aid, you know that the GB isn't the FDS. What is God's Kingdom: The kingdom of God is the present dynamic rule of God which exists alongside the eschatological hope of the full manifestation of God’s rule on earth when Jehovah Jesus comes to rule physically on earth (Rev 20:4). Contrary to what JW's teach, Jesus began his rule in 30/33 AD when he ascended to the right hand of the Father where he rules over all reatioon (Eph 1:20-23).

Jesus himself said on multiple occasions that the Father is greater, that he didn’t do his own will, but the will of the one who sent him. 1 Corinthians 11:3 the head of Christ is God. Hebrews 9:24 After his resurrection, Jesus entered heaven to appear before God on our behalf. Acts 7:55-56 Stephen see’s Jesus in heaven, at God’s right hand. Not as God, but next to God. Revelation 3:14 Jesus is the beginning of creation by God. Ephesians 1:5 talks about the God and Father of Jesus. He has a God, so he cannot be God. 1 Timothy 2:5 there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Jesus. He is the mediator between us and God, so this shows him to be a separate being from God, therefore, not God. John 20:17 Jesus himself says he has a God. John 4:23 tells us true worshippers worship the Father. Only Jehovah should be worshipped. John 1:34 Jesus is the son of God. There is not a single scripture in the Bible that says the Holy Spirit is God. There’s not a single scripture in the Bible that says Jesus is “the only true God.” There are hundreds of scriptures in the Bible that say Jehovah is the only true God. The trinity is a false doctrine.

[@Mr.DC3.1914]

THE BIBLE teaches that Jesus was MADE As Lord and Christ and as Son (ACTS 2:36, Prov 8, HEB 1:5), CREATED/PRODUCED/INSTALLED (Prov 8) , COME INTO BEING/MADE (Mat 21:42 - egeneto) and GIVEN LIFE by the Father - John 5:26 and it uses TODAY (Heb 1:5), and uses future tenses and is a prophecy in Isa 9:6 (Isa 9:6, - WILL BE) . If you are called MADE AND CREATED AND GIVEN LIFE, and NEVER CALLED in the BIBLE as Creator or Maker , then you are A CREATION. ALL FROM THE BIBLE From the Lord was this (this is referring to the chief cornerstone who is Jesus) , the word WAS is egeneto (made or came into being) - Matthew 21:42 and the exact Greek word used in John 1:3 - MADE, egeneto (came into being) - JESUS WAS MADE/CAME INTO BEING FROM THE FATHER , yes, Jesus was MADE/CREATED!, See also Acts 2:36, Heb 1:5, 1 john 5

However, the Trinitarians will either accept κτίσεως - creation (pronounced ktiseōs) - or they will engage and debate. When you do engage in their debate explain Matthew 19:4 and Mark 10:6 where Jesus refers to our Father as the Creator.

That's something I wrestled with for a while and only in recent history came to appreciate. God knows you and I perfectly and deeply, yet, no matter how hard we try to understand and grasp Him, we hardly can because His being is far beyond our own. Sometimes I wonder what my dog thinks of me / my life. She sees me get dressed for work, leave, come back 8+ hours later, sometimes come home with groceries.. She can try all she wants to understand me and my life, and never can or will, yet I understand her immensely. All she NEEDS to do is trust me.. love me.. and knowing why I work, where our house came from, and all that extra stuff is beyind her ability to comprehend and doesnt matter. But I'm just a tick above her 'glory'. & My 'glory' is likened to a filthy rag compared to God's glory! The Trinity isn't easy to grasp because we have an infinitely powerful and incredible God who's capable of things we can't realistically wrap our heads around. The ground doesn't understand the flower. The flower doesn't understand the bee. The bee doesn't understand the dog. The dog doesn't understand the human. The human doesn't understand God.

​@@natalyd9674 On the contrary it is christians who have a traditional belief in the Trinity passed down to them by catholic dogma and adopted by its many offshoots of christian belief. JW reject this tradition as I do and I also have scriptures to back this deception of 3 gods in one. It is one of many pointless and fruitless discussions. It was Roman doctrine that started a belief in a Trinity and became widely accepted. Any who questioned it were put to death by burning at the stake alive. Both John Calvin and John Know did just that. Consider this if you believe that Jesus is God? John says: “No man has seen God at any time.” (John 1:18). But men have seen Jesus. Therefore, the expression “God” refers exclusively to God the Father. Jesus never refers to himself as God; he reserves that terminology solely for the Father. When someone called him “Good Teacher,” Jesus replied: “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God.” (Matthew 19: 17). I will declare your name to my brothers.” (Psalm 22: 22). Jesus is: “the firstborn among many brothers.” (Romans 8:29). Believers are the brothers of Jesus. But we are not the brothers of God. God is our Father. The Holy Spirit is neither our brother or our Father. The Holy Spirit is the word of the Father that dwelt in the flesh body of Jesus. John 14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

@@djparsons7363 The point Jeff made at the 7:16 mark (I think it completely went over those two women’s heads and most viewers here’s head as well) were very bad points because if you look at other parts of the Bible, the word, “all”, use here at Colossians 1:16 does also have the meaning “all other” meaning as well. Take Luke 13:2 and Luke 21:29 as examples. It’s the same Greek word, but it’s translated as “all other”. So the claim that Jehovah Witnesses’ organization add words or take words out of the Bible has been false so far according to the evidence Jeff presented. I’m a translator myself and I enjoy reading different kinds of Bible. I have long heard the debate around Bible translations. I think for Jeff to point out the difference in the translation may not be because he is dishonest, but simply because he does not understand how translation works. Take Genesis 2:18 for example. Just take a look at how different Bibles translate that one scripture. They are ALL different but the meaning is the same, are they not? Are we going to say the translations are wrong or simply that the translator chose words that they believe best or are the closest to the original language. There are words that one language may have, but the other language may not have. Just ask any bilinguals. Jeff, Bible translators, and most viewers has not said anything about the name Jehovah in the NWT Bible, why not? Why is it that people don’t give the NWT praise for putting the name Jehovah (Yahweh) where it was originally was at or do most of you think the name was fabricated by Jehovah’s Witnesses? I not only read different Bibles in English but I also read them in Chinese. The name Jehovah does exist in the Chinese Bible. Unlike the English Bibles, the name Jehovah has been replaced by titles such as God and Lord, but you cant always do that with the Chinese Bible because it doesn’t always work that way in the Chinese language. Some Bibles would use the name Yahweh instead of Jehovah, but Yahweh is Hebrew not English, if a translator choose to use the Hebrew name for Jehovah then why not all the other names like Yehoshua for Jesus? So I appreciate the NWT’s consistency in this area. By the way, I appreciate how both parties use the Bible in this discussion and they were both very polite.

(Exodus 3:15) [Again, use a Bible that doesn't replace God's name with titles, like Lord or God.] The Bible clearly states that Jehovah will give his glory to no one else.

@@jaimedelcastillo1302 In your biased opinion, that is. However, what Jeff does is make partial claims. (He uses bad exegesis and hermeneutics, twisting what is said to his pre-existing beliefs.) For instance, he claims that 'firstborn' in the Bible, which comes from the Greek prototokos, means "preeminent" or "the highest position", using examples of where the inheritance of the firstborn went to someone who wasn't actually the firstborn. This definition, however, was a later added definition of the word, by trinitarian scholars. The Greek root word "Proto" literally means first or only, as in prototype. And the Greek root word "Tokos" literally means to give birth to or bring forth. When you examine the Bible in it's entirety, it becomes clear that Jesus is not God, but the first being God created. The other word Jesus is called is only-begotten, which comes from the Greek word monogenes. Jeff claims this means unique or one of a kind. However, the Greek root word "mono" is the part of the word that means unique or one of a kind, so that is only a partial definition. Mono means "one or only", as in monogamous, monopoly, monocular, mononucleosis, etc. The Greek root word "genes" means to beget or to father, as in the King begot a male heir to his throne. There are other words from this root word such as genetics, as in, "Blue eyes run in his genes." Monogenes literally means Jesus was the only being directly created by God. How could that be? Proverbs 8:22-30 shows that after being created, Jesus worked alongside God as a master worker. Doing what? Helping create everything else. That is why Colossians 1:15 says that by means of him, everything (other than himself as the only begotten) comes through Jesus. Jesus was created. - Revelation 3:14 Jehovah is the only true God. - Deuteronomy 4:35; Isaiah 42:8; Exodus 3:14

He has a God, so he cannot be God. 1 Timothy 2:5 there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Jesus. He is the mediator between us and God, so this shows him to be a separate being from God, therefore, not God. John 20:17 Jesus himself says he has a God.

Wow, praise God! I have been "studying" with two JWs for months now, and have been putting off the deity of Christ for as long as I could. We got into it a bit last week (I shared Heb 1 vs Psalm 102... the one looked like she'd seen a ghost) and I expect to be discussing it again with them tomorrow. This video is so timely and such a beautiful example of loving truthfulness. If anyone has a moment, please pray the Lord will soften their hearts and that my kids will behave themselves so we can have a productive time.

[@elsiesaunders4607]

I was one of Jehovah's witnesses all my life before I came to Christ. I actually met God through H M Sealey's Kingdom Rising novels - I saw myself in the characters caught in the cult and then I saw the beauty of "The King" and how different He was to the Jesus we learned about. Don't give up, the relief of stepping off the treadmill of good works and earning my own salvation and it's Jesus' waiting arms was glorious.

[@Kai-ye6zu]

I am a JW and Ps 102 and Heb 1 it's so skin deep in reasoning that when JW's go away and study it they realize it's just a poor argument that an overzealous Trinitarian _thinks_ is some sort of scriptural revelation. It's not. JW's believe Jesus was used in creation and hence why you only see creation ascribe as being made _through_ him and not by him personally. Therefore, its agency is at play and we'd expect to see expressions used of God also used of Jesus as God is the one working through Jesus as the true causation and therefore the source of creation. We see similar expressions used of others and God in the same mediatorial sense as we see of Christ. Jesus isn't creator, the Father is, Heb 1:2, _"Now at the end of these days he has spoken to us by means of a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, _*_and through whom he made the systems of things."_*

[@SpartanVirus]

A great passage I recently came across is Matthew 28:9-10. It passively states his divinity in that JWs would agree worshiping any one else but God is idolatry. It says the disciples upon encountering Jesus post resurrection, they fell to his feet and worshiped him. Well, in verse 10, he does not rebuke them, rather just tells them to fear not. The heretics authoring the NWT must've had a hell of time getting around this one. It's basically checkmate.

[@alenaharrold6347]

Unfortunately they change it to "do obeisance" even though it's the same word used in worshipping God and when the angel in Revelation stops John.

[@alenaharrold6347]

Kai, if Jesus were God, what would the Bible have to say about him to prove it? It says it explicitly and implicitly in so many ways, it doesn't seem like there would be any way to say it that would get through to someone who refuses to believe it. I pray for both you and these ladies that the Holy Spirit would reveal the truth to you.

[@CATS57CATS]

@@bonniemartell9750 Look in the history books. People were put to death on a torture stake not a cross. the King James Version reads at Acts 5:30: “The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree [xyʹlon].” Other versions, though rendering staurosʹ as “cross,” also translate xyʹlon as “tree.” At Acts 13:29, The Jerusalem Bible says of Jesus: “When they had carried out everything that scripture foretells about him they took him down from the tree [xyʹlon] and buried him.” In view of the basic meaning of the Greek words staurosʹ and xyʹlon, the Critical Lexicon and Concordance, quoted above, observes: “Both words disagree with the modern idea of a cross, with which we have become familiarised by pictures.” In other words, what the Gospel writers described using the word staurosʹ was nothing like what people today call a cross. Appropriately, therefore, the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures uses the expression “torture stake” at Matthew 27:40-42 and in other places where the word staurosʹ appears. Similarly, the Complete Jewish Bible uses the expression “execution stake.”

Nope Yhwh gave the revelation to Jesus right? So that title when applied to Jesus is a title given under authority from a higher power. Plus it also shows Jesus is not God because he is being given knowledge and he, Jesus is not omniscient because he does not know everything. Quoting this does not help the trinitarian view.

[@michaelk4968]

@777Tralfaz777 We must never, limit God, by applying (using) limited Biblical scripture, it is the same as believing a half truth, and despite the best intentions is still not accurate, or worse a lie. - Purposely limiting scripture, and not applying it in the context with the message of the rest of the Bible: is taking away from scripture, and just as bad as adding to scripture; it changes the meaning, and we must never do that according to: Revelation 22:19. - Using personal opinion is either an accidental, or deliberate attempt, at adding to or taking away from scripture. That means any person, group, or religion, that deliberately: adds to, takes away from, or only applying certain limited scripture, is changing the context and overall message of the Bible, is doing what Paul warned the Galatians against in Galatians 1:6-9: “6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.” “false teachers.” Truly that person, or those persons are in danger of what Paul said in Galatians. to be accursed makes them an enemy of God. In other words, if man the creation, were to attempt to limit God, by denying the majesty and authority, of God the Father, to call His Son Jesus, God. As a matter of fact God the Father does call his Son Jesus, God in the context of the entire Bible. One example is in Hebrews 1:1-10: “ “God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; ( it is extremely clear when kept in the context of the overall message of the Bible, this verse is referring to Jesus the Son has been appointed heir of all things, and that Jesus is creator of the worlds (plural.) 3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high: (express image, is not a separate image, but based on the original language, is in fact part of the inseparable image of God.) 4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. 5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? 6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. 7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. 8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. (God the Father is saying unto the Son (Jesus), Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: thy staff is of righteousness). 9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. 10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands: (this about Jesus role as Creator, and as Creator a direct reference to Genesis 1:26: “And God said, Let us make man in our on image.” Some of the earliest scripture indicating there are more than one person which are God., and when kept in proper context with the entire Bible: Jesus is God with the Father, and the Holly Spirit, which are one God (singular). The entire Bible, when kept in context, is evidence, from Genesis 1:26, 3,2; Exodus 3:14; Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 9:6; 43:10-15, 44:6-8; Matthew 28:19, 12:31-32; John1, 8:24,28,58, 10:30, 15:26, 16:33; Luke 1:35; Romans 15:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Phillipians 2:5-11; Hebrews 1:1-10, 9:14; through to Revelation 19:11,13,16, 22:13,16 and many other passages point to, or show us: God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, which are one God (singular), not separate Gods. In fact, the Bible is one continuous revelation of that. The Bible shows us the truth, because it shows us the different attributes of Jesus, who is God with the Father, and the different attributes of the Holy Spirit which is God with the Father and the Son. It shows us that, from Genesis to Revelation, and at the same time he is the same, yesterday, today, and tomorrow. The Bible shows us all that, so we know, it is not a contradiction that Jesus, is not only the Son of God, he is also God with the Father, and the Holy Spirit, which are one God (singular).

@777Tralfaz777 Regrettably, even with the best of intentions, you are taking scripture out of context with the overall message of the Bible. You seem sincere and dedicated to what you know about the Bible and serving God based on that. The reason I reach out to you is because of God’s Commandments in the Shema (Hear) in Deuteronomy 6:3-7, Jesus spoke it in Matthew 22:37-40, and Mark 12:29-31, and because the Lord first loved me, my grateful love for the Lord and my neighbor (which means you). The Lord put it on my heart to reach out again and keep sharing the truth of his Word in the Bible. How do I obey each of the commandments in Mark 12:29-31: “29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: + By speaking the truth in love: that God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, which are one God.

God’s commandments and instruction to us in the Bible tell us: when we honor the Father, we honor the Son, and we honor the Son we honor the Father. + The Bible shows us that it is not honoring or glorifying the Father by denying his Word (Jesus), by denying that God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit, which are one God. To do so, is denying that, God the Father is speaking about Jesus in Phillipians 2:9-11 : “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” And also denying that God the Father is speaking to the Son (Jesus) in Hebrews 1:8: “But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.” I would not want anyone to deny, especially unrepentantly, that Jesus is God because to deny Jesus is God is to deny the overall message of the Bible when it is kept in context. My concern is they are in danger of Jesus denying them as in Matthew 10:33: “But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.” + By using scripture to support scripture, because: The Bible is the inerrant Word of God, and it is one complete revelation of who God is. The Bible does not contradict itself, nor does it lie. It is consistent, from Genesis to Revelation. Every number, letter, word, verse, chapter, book, and message are not only important. They are essential; they tell us the truth of the Bible. 30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.” +By believing and loving the Word of God in Verse 29 as it applies to the context of the entire Bible, which points to, reveals, and shows us: God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, which are one God.”; the same way we are told to love God, 31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.” + Loving my neighbor, you, as myself, in accordance with: 2 John 1:6: “And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment that, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.” This is paramount importance: I pray you come to see the truth of the Bible, that: +“That Jesus is God with the Father, and the Holy Spirit, which are one God (singular), that it is actually honoring, obeying, and worshipping God the Father. + God’s commandments and instruction to us in the Bible tell us: when we honor the Father, we honor the Son, and we honor the Son we honor the Father.

Some of them are listed here: God’s name is: “I AM THAT I AM.” God is the “I AM” that sent Moses, and “I am he”; God is: “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end,” God is: “us”; “our”; “Creator”; “the Lord thy God”; “the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob”; “Immanuel“;”a child”; “a son”; “Wonderful”; “Counsellor”; “The Mighty God”; “ The Everlasting Father”; “The Prince of Peace”; “I am God”; “the Lord, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel”; “Savior”; “Messiah”; “the “child”; “the prophet of the Highest”; “Lord God of Israel”; “JESUS”; ”name which is above all names”; “Christ the Lord”; “the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes”; “the Word”; “the Son of God”; “the Son”; Holy Ghost”; “Holy Spirit”; “”the eternal Spirit”; “the Almighty”; “the first and the last”; the Lion of the tribe of Judah”; “the Root of David”; ““the Lamb”; “one sat on the throne”; “him that sitthest upon the throne”; “Faithful and True”; “a name written, that no man knew, but he himself”; “The Word of God”; ““KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS”; Breath of the Almighty”; “Comforter”; “Eternal Spirit”; “Free Spirit”; “God”; Good Spirit”; “Holy Spirit”: “Lord”; “Power of the highest”; “Seven Spirts of God”; “Spirit”; “Spirit of Adoption”; “Spirit of burning”; “Spirit of Christ”; “Spirt of counsel”; “Spirit of the Father”; “Spirit of the fear of the Lord”; “Spirit of glory”; “Spirit of God”; “Spirit of grace”; “Spirit of holiness”; “Spirit of judgement”; Spirit of knowledge”; “Spirit of life”; “Spirit of the Lord”; “Spirit of the Lord God”; “Spirit of might”; “Spirit of might”; “Spirit of prophecy”; “Spirit of revelation”; “Spirit of the Son”; “Spirit of truth”; “Spirit of truth”; “Spirit of understanding”; and the “Spirit of Wisdom.”: Hopefully, you will pray, read what is written in the Bible, and in the explanations above. There are many more places in the inerrant scripture of the Bible that show what the Pastor Jeff explained in the video, and what I have attempted to share with you is the truth. I hope you and pray you will ask Pastor Jeff's ministry or me any questions you have. Most of all, you will see the truth of the whole Bible, and not just a group of scripture that is not telling the complete truth of who Jesus and the Holy Spirit are. In Christ Jesus' name, I pray. Amen. Pastor Jeff and I do not know each other personally. We have never met. We are united in one purpose.

The Holy Spirit is the weakest argument of the Trinity. For God’s breath the ruach is taught by Trinitarians to be a person instead of emanating from God. You remember reading Genesis 2:7 and how God’s breath caused Adam to live. “The One who gives breath to the people on it” is the same one who Jesus identifies creating man and woman -Jehovah. See Mark 10:6. It is completely misleading to read into the Bible a third Person, the Holy Spirit. The spirit of Elijah (Luke 1:17) is not a different person from Elijah. Nor is the Spirit of God a different person from the Father. The Holy Spirit is the operational presence of God, His mind and character. The spirit of God and the mind of God are beautifully equated in 1 Corinthians 2:16 where Paul refers to “the mind of Christ,” quoting from Isaiah 40:13 which refers to God’s Spirit. “Who has taken the measurements of the spirit of Jehovah, And who can instruct him as his adviser?” The third Person was asserted at a Council of Alexandria in 362 CE and ordered to be deified by the Council of Constantinople of 381 CE.

"Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling" - a Bible verse ! And examine the Bible book of James if you think faith isn't proven by works.

Dr. White and Jeff have been an amazing resource on defending the deity of Christ talking to JW’s and has caused me to be filled with excitement every time i run into them so i can confidently proclaim the truth of Christ to them

[@scelest321cx]

Amazing work Jeff! You were the first person that touched me just by watching your videos and defending gods word and truth, one thing I suggest if you can pray for these ladies and everyone you encounter to help them come to know Jesus. God bless jeff

[@rubyjoseph4684]

Thank you brother for explaining the truth for the unknown people who are still in unfaith I love the way you told these ladies I hope they might accepted Jesus Christ

One thing I fear is that those who fervently think they’re Christians but who believe in a different Jesus are the most resistant to the Message. Those who know they’re not Christians know it and don’t argue that point.

@@gordianknot9595 "why is the Bible trustworthy?" God's word is supernaturally prophetic (Romans 1:26-31/2 Timothy 4:3/Matthew 24:6/1 Corinthians 1:18 fulfilled in reality today), historically verified (archaeologically & anthropologically by Christians & non-Christians w/enemy/early/multiple attestation, internal consistency, embarrassing reports, etc.) & transcendentally/objectively moral (Exodus 20/Matthew 22:37-40) along with the most consistent/cohesive explanation for objective reality regarding all it's facets (origin, meaning, morality, destiny, logic, order, reason, sense, beauty, etc.) "And how do you know?" The Bible is the objective foundation for truth as explained above, how do you know your worldview is objectively true? What is your objective foundation for truth?

I am just another EX. JW here. I an 77 years YOUNG. Fantastic discussion,really the best I have seen and heard. I thought i really MUST explain how I came to make sense of the TRINITY. So here is my story. God himself, for whatever reason decided to explain it to me using a simple illustration that even I could understand. When I was a young guy I was dating a girl who later became my wife. Now only a young guy could understand this. BUT; . . . Here goes. I bought a 1967 Chevell (Chevy). And I loved everything about that car. When I finally got around to meeting my then girlfriends parents, I found out her Dad was a very passionate FORD guy. Bought a new ford every year. As far as he was concerned a Chevy was a piece of junk. For the next thirty years , right up to the day he died I drove Chevy's and he drove Ford's. OK. Now here is GOD's illustration spoken audible to me. He said "Gerald if you wanted a new Ford" ? ? ? "Who would be more important; The guy digging the "iron ore" out of the ground. Or the guy working in the "steel mill" making the "iron ore" into "steel" or the guy working at the "Ford factory" making the "steel" into a new "Ford" car. So I realized immediately that GOD has a sense oh humor. But even more than that. He wanted me to make the connection that the new "Ford" in this illustration was really "Eternal life" in "Paradise". Soooo, If I want to have an opportunity to live fore ever in a good place and not a bad place I must realize that the "FATHER" and the "SON" and the "HOLY SPIRIT" all play a role in this. If even one were to go missing. Guess what? ? ? NO NEW FORD(eternal life in "HEAVEN" with GOD) ! ! ! :( :( :(

You Jehovah carnt die he’s immortal so Jesus died there no trinity he’s 2 he needs to check Hebrew 1 3 he’s the very being in print a copy jehovah is God Jesus is the son of man no he did not say that he was God iam what he said before said Abraham I was or excited yes he lived in heaven

[@MansterBear]

That’s pretty close to the modalist heresy, which most analogies of the Trinity end up in rediscovering some old heresy. The Trinity is true bc there is one God, Yahweh. Obvious the Father is Yahweh. Jesus is equated with Yahweh, fulfilled prophecy about Yahweh, Jesus is uncreated (John 1:1, Colossians 1:15-20), etc. We need to base our belief on the foundation of scripture. Analogies are sometimes useful, but hearing the Word is how people are saved. Many people say “God told them” something, Mormons say this all the time. They get feelings or “personal revelation”, etc. Truth (and the more sure Word) has been given to us in scripture.

@@MansterBear rev 3 v 14 Greek word archi says he the beginning of the creation of God also Hebrews 1 v 3 says he’s a inprint or a copy of Jehovah a copy means he’s not as old has jehovah who can be Jehovah is from time indefinite to time indefinite outher words immortal so as we no Jesus died so he was not immortal but after his resurrection jehovah gave his son immortality means he carnt die so he has life in him self just like Jehovah

1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus, John 16:23 In that day you will ask me no question at all. Most truly I say to you, if you ask the Father for anything, he will give it to you in my name. Matthew 24:36 “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father. 1 Corinthians 15:24 Next, the end, when he hands over the Kingdom to his God and Father, when he has brought to nothing all government and all authority and power. θεόν,God θεὸς, god John 1:18 No man has seen God at any time; the only-begotten god who is at the Father’s side is the one who has explained Him. Exodus 33:20 But he added: “You cannot see my face, for no man can see me and live.” John 6:46 Not that any man has seen the Father, except the one who is from God; this one has seen the Father. 1 Timothy 6:16 the one alone having immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see. To him be honor and eternal might. Amen. Revelation 1:1 A revelation by Jesus Christ, which God gave him,... John 5:43 I have come in the name of my Father, but you do not receive me. If someone else came in his own name, you would receive that one. John 12:28 Father, glorify your name.” Then a voice came out of heaven: “I have glorified it and will glorify it again.” 1 Corinthians 11:3 But I want you to know that the head of every man is the Christ; in turn, the head of a woman is the man; in turn, the head of the Christ is God. Acts 2:32 God resurrected this Jesus, and of this we are all witnesses. Acts 4:30 while you stretch out your hand for healing and while signs and wonders occur through the name of your holy servant Jesus.” Acts 4:27 For truly both Herod and Pontius Pilate with men of the nations and with peoples of Israel were gathered together in this city against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, Acts 3:13 The God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of our forefathers, has glorified his Servant, Jesus, whom you handed over and disowned before Pilate, even though he had decided to release him. John 14:23 In answer Jesus said to him: “If anyone loves me, he will observe my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him. John 10:36 do you say to me whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’? Luke 22:70 At this they all said: “Are you, therefore, the Son of God?” He said to them: “You yourselves are saying that I am.” Matthew 27:43 He has put his trust in God; let Him now rescue him if He wants him, for he said, ‘I am God’s Son.’” Matthew 27:46, 47 About the ninth hour, Jesus called out with a loud voice, saying: “Eʹli, Eʹli, laʹma sa·bach·thaʹni?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” At hearing this, some of those standing there began to say: “This man is calling E·liʹjah.” John 20:17 Jesus said to her: “Stop clinging to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.’” 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. Luke 4:8 In reply Jesus said to him: “It is written, ‘It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’” John 3:16 “For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life. John 17:3 This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ. John 4:22-24 You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, because salvation begins with the Jews. Nevertheless, the hour is coming, and it is now, when the true worshippers will worship the Father with spirit and truth, for indeed, the Father is looking for ones like these to worship him. God is a Spirit, and those worshipping him must worship with spirit and truth.”
