If you want to do this right, then never worship Jesus. He does not want to be worshipped. he wants Jehovah God, his father to be worshipped. He made this very clear throughout his ministry. There is no problem with heaping praise on Jesus, because it is through him and only him that you can even get to know the father and only through Jesus can we even get to pray to God. Jesus is the mediator between us and God. Prayer must be done the right way. Read very carefully, word by word Matthew 6:7-15. or read it here: But when praying, do not say the same things over and over again, just as the people of the nations do, for they imagine they will get a hearing for their use of many words. 8 So, do not make yourselves like them, for God YOUR Father knows what things YOU are needing before ever YOU ask him. “YOU must pray, then, this way: “‘Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth. Give us today our bread for this day; and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And do not bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the wicked one.’ “For if YOU forgive men their trespasses, YOUR heavenly Father will also forgive YOU; whereas if YOU do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will YOUR Father forgive YOUR trespasses.
Where do you get this? The angels would stop people from worshipping them, but Jesus never stopped someone from worshipping Him. Satan tried to get Jesus to worship him and He would not.
I understand the angels warned people not to worship them. Jesus may never have stopped people from worshipping him, but he made it very clear that only God should be worshipped. In fact, you just mentioned the event where Satan tried to get Jesus to worship him and what did Jesus say to him? Matthew 4:8-11: Again the Devil took him along to an unusually high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory, and he said to him: “All these things I will give you if you fall down and do an act of worship to me.†Then Jesus said to him: “Go away, Satan! For it is written, ‘It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’†Then the Devil left him, and, look! angels came and began to minister to him. Therefore, it is clear that is only God we must worship.
im sorry, if i have a short memory, lets talk about the church jesuschrist built... sorry for my language im not good in english... if Jesus built chuch what is the name of the church? let start here, because the if you want to find something you will look first for the name... what is the name of the church...?
Jehovah's Witnesses is the organization that Jehovah God uses to do his will and this is exactly what Jesus preached about and commanded us to do. Look at the commandments from God and the commandments from Jesus. Then, take a look around you and find out which group of people are doing ALL these things. It's very easy to see that Jehovah's Witnesses are doing ALL we are commanded to do.
im sorry to say but, my question is the name of church jesuschrist built... it you believe that Jehovah's witnesess is the name, what verse in the bible can i read it...
You can only go by the works that are done according to the Bible: Here are some examples: Hebrews 10:24-25 And let us consider one another to incite to love and fine works, not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together, as some have the custom, but encouraging one another, and all the more so as YOU behold the day drawing near Galatians 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, and they are fornication, uncleanness, loose conduct, idolatry, practice of spiritism, enmities, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, contentions, divisions, sects, envies, drunken bouts, revelries, and things like these. As to these things I am forewarning YOU, the same way as I did forewarn YOU, that those who practice such things will not inherit God’s kingdom. Romans 2:6-11 And he will render to each one according to his works: everlasting life to those who are seeking glory and honor and incorruptibleness by endurance in work that is good; however, for those who are contentious and who disobey the truth but obey unrighteousness there will be wrath and anger, tribulation and distress, upon the soul of every man who works what is injurious, of the Jew first and also of the Greek; but glory and honor and peace for everyone who works what is good, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For there is no partiality with God. John 14:12 Most truly I say to YOU, He that exercises faith in me, that one also will do the works that I do; and he will do works greater than these, because I am going my way to the Father. Matthew 24:13-14 But he that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved. And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come. Matthew 28:19-20 Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded YOU. And, look! I am with YOU all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.†Kawikaan, I ask you again. Who else is doing these good works but Jehovah's Witnesses and who are abstaining from the bad works?
And others that do the good and not the bad - what are they then? BTW, The watchtower is a publishing business that has nothing to do with the true God, but profits from using His name! Jesus says "if you have seen Me, you have seen the Father", is He a liar then? Again, you have to be careful not to take a thought and try to find verses that fit your need, but rather read the WHOLE Bible and find out what it says. Yes, it can be uncomfortable to find out God is different than what you may want Him to be, but at the same time you will be pleased to find out how great He is.
i will tell you if you first anwer my question, what is the true name of the church jesuschrist built, what verse in the bible can i read it, if you cannot answer this i will give the verse to you..."Jam 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world." there is a pure religion in this verse, what is the name of this pure religion....? the first way to find the true church of God is to know its name. remember guys your school teached many good things to the student and they have their names (school) so specially the church of our lord must have its own name...
Not sure what you mean by the first question. Your statement about the watchtower is pure and unfounded rubbish. There are no "profits" in thw whole organization around the globe. Where do you get this stuff from? Go check it out yourself? Don't listen to other people's statements. In regards to Jesus, are you saying he is God? I certainly do read the WHOLE Bible and will continue to do so forever. Also, I do not want God to be any different to me than he is for you or anyone else. Regardless of what some think, Jehovah God is the only true God and he will never change his purposes. When you find out the truth of his purposes then you might see what I am talking about. If you want to continue to have your ears tickled (2 Timothy 4:3-5) then you just do what you always have done and I will keep doing what Jehovah wants me to do and keep learning more and more about the true God and his purposes. If you want to know more then you know where to find me. Col
Kawikaan, Will you ever get off this merry-go-round about the name of the church? I have spelt it out to you in many ways already but you refuse to listen. Yes, the pure religion is the religion that does God's will in every way, shape or form. Jesus showed us the way in doing God's will. All we have to do is follow in his footsteps. Are you going door to door and preaching the good news of the kingdom (Matthew 24:13-14, Matthew 28:19-20)?
im not making merry-go-round, i just want to know if you know the name of the church jesus christ built, im listening to you but how can i believe you if you can not answer my question? i just want to know if you know the name of the church and if you know it what verse in the bible i can read it, if you don't know it, say you don't know it, that is very simple. how can i be sure if im in the true church, if i even don't know its name, many kind of religion teached the good ways of the lord more than you do, but did they realy inside the true church of God, 1Ti 3:15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. "to behave thyself in the house of God" we have to be inside the house of God and that is the church, if there is a house or church it must have a name, we discussing about the name that is my question not who's doing the will of God.
Interesting... Who does Jesus say He is? What questions does He acknowledge as truth? Do you believe that the Bible can only be interpreted correctly by the watchtower?
Kawikaan, There must be discernment to consider what is literal and what is figurative in the Bible. I will post what the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures says of 1 Ti 3:15 but in case I am delayed, that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in God’s household, which is the congregation of [the] living God, a pillar and support of the truth Now we see the word "congregation", not "church". Note the difference? A congregation is a gathering place for God's people. No need for a name. If Jehovah God wanted a name or title to identify his people by their congregations it would be HIS name, Jehovah, would'nt it? Of course! That is why we have "Kingdom Halls of Jehovah's Witnesses". Find out where your nearest Kingdom Hall is and go their next Sunday meeting to listen to the Public Talk. You might actually learn more about Jehovah God and his purposes. Col
Jesus has always referred to himself as God's son and not God himself. How can anyone acknowledge a question as truth? Not sure what youa re asking here. Many Bible theologians and scholars and many religiously educated people around the world have published that the "New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures" is the most accurate translation of the original texts and manuscripts. Therefore, I would have to say a big YES to that. In fact, if you get yourself a copy and read the preface, you will find out that the three main people that arranged the translation put together the "little books" and asked to remain anonymous so as to have the main focus on God's word. You have to respect that! Have you got a copy? If not, I can arrange one to be sent to you! At no charge to you! What's that about profits? Hmmm...thinking...thinking....how can they give out literature and Bibles for free and make a profit?.....thinking.....thinking... Have a good think about that! The answer is this my friend....There is no profit because there is no money! It's all donated by us. What for? What purpose? What gain? To fulfill the prophecy at Matthew 24:13-14.
Yeah yeah yeah.....there's heaps of sites like that. For what purpose? For the spreading of untruths and always comments taken out of context. You would be better off actually talking to one of us instead of reading rubbish like that. You might find out some facts. So debunked, What is your story? Have you noticed that you are attacking my faith and I am not attacking yours? Why is that? I'll tell you why. Because I am a true Christian. True Christians don't go spreading gossip and untruths of other people that have faith in other doctines. All I have tried to do is to help you see what is really in the Bible. I can't do anything about you not wanting to listen to the truth. In fact you should read this verse: Matthew 10:11-15 “Into whatever city or village YOU enter, search out who in it is deserving, and stay there until YOU leave. 12 When YOU are entering into the house, greet the household; and if the house is deserving, let the peace YOU wish it come upon it; but if it is not deserving, let the peace from YOU return upon YOU. Wherever anyone does not take YOU in or listen to YOUR words, on going out of that house or that city shake the dust off YOUR feet. Truly I say to YOU, It will be more endurable for the land of Sod´om and Go·mor´rah on Judgment Day than for that city.
You can throw out verses all you like, I agree with the Word of God, but not some man's interpretation. You may want to dig into your own religion and question those things that don't add up. I will ask you then, what do you think about all of the prophecies that were false? 1914, 1925, 1975, etc... Do you not question a self-proclaimed prophet when they are wrong? I am not attacking, merely putting the record straight, I will not stand by and let someone speak half truths and lead someone down the wrong path. Tell me this, do you ever talk to God yourself? Has you spoken to you? Do you have fellowship with the Holy Spirit? Have you received forgiveness or have you earned it yet?
