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.
@@eew8060 I pray that some of the folks that this pastor speak to reach a saving knowledge of who Christ Jesus really is. One life saved from hellfire is absolutely worth all the hard work. God bless.

Do these women know you are filming them and that you are putting them on the internet?
Perhaps the most amazing and cordial conversation I have ever seen concerning the Deity of Christ. Great job! -Mark Spence
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.
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
@@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.
@@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.
@@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.
Was a baptized Jehovahs witness for years. Happy i left, Jesus is my lord and Savior! I accept
What was it that made you convert?

As an ex-Jehovah's witness this was the hardest thing to understand but I'm glad it's making more sense the more I watch these kinds of videos. Thank you for explaining so diligently. I am so glad I moved on from the religious trauma and finally believe in the trinity.
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. It's a beautiful dynamic you can't help but appreciate because it's the cost of having an all perfect and all powerful God. ❤
Can you expand on the religious trauma and what you mean by that?
So you believe in hell fire also now 😂😂
I had to deal with a lot of fear opening up my mind to learning what others believe. And it was hard to actually validate that I identify with another interpretation of scripture. @@headsofhiphop
No, I believe in the interpretation of hell / heaven through an Orthodox Christian viewpoint. @@davidantonucci1161
They called him Emmanuel which means God with us
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.
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!
Watch the Bible vs Joseph smith this will help shed some light on how to reach the mormon
dude i feel you, you feel guilty when you dont answer or have nothing to say
I would say rather we should stay in the Word more to have them ready on our lips. I am struggling a little with that myself and watching to Mitch CZcams

Sounds a scam comment if ever there was one.
Please! Not everyone out there is a moron.
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?
Amen!
😂😂😂😂😂 that’s funny
Praise God
Very cordial but bold in his proclamation and exegesis of the Gospel. Thank you, faithful saint Jeff.

I grow a garden every year at my home. I go around the neighborhood & give away vegetables. I came across a JW couple. Just gave them some vegetables. They wanted to talk about the kingdom of God. Unexpected blessing the two showed up to my house today. We talked for an hour. I learned a lot & so did they. Looking forward to sharing my faith again & keeping the door open for future discussions about Jesus.
WHO IS OVER ALL? Ephesians 4:6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. GOD and FATHER is OVER/ABOVE ALL and that "All" includes the SON so they are NOT EQUAL
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) .

I am 62yrs old. I was always confused about Jesus and God. I thank you very much for this information. It truly was heart felt. Your words brought some tears to my eyes. I thank you Sir for your words again. God bless you and your family.
Saw in a movie where a guy in a vision saw the three, Father, Jesus, Holy Spirit. He asked which of you are God. They simultaneously said I AM. A friend used the example of cutting an apple. Can we comprehend this? No... but we accept it by faith, and relationally, we experience it. How does God dwell inside every human in a personal way? We can not.
1 Corinthians 15:24-28 is very clear about Jesus being subject to God. There are more of this kinds of verses in the bible than there are of those used to explain the trinity. Jesus prayed and relied on God to have his assignment on earth to be successful
(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.
@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.

Love this video! As a former JW this hits home. Thank you Jeff and Apologia for continuing to preach and display love to those who are lost and deceived.
If you don’t mind, anyway you could share what pulled you out? Besides obviously the Lord dragging you out. I guess I’m asking from a human level, what started to open your eyes and what eventually was the final straw? I ask because I have really close friends who are stuck in the watchtower society
@@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.
@@haroldbailey9011 I do not mind at all Harold. Unfortunately we cannot will our friends and loved ones away from a false religion. My initial desire was to prove that the Watchtower was correct, if it is the "truth" it can be questioned, it can be scrutinized, it can be challenged. I asked God for guidance and wisdom. 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. It is not in God's nature to lead someone in the wrong direction when they sincerely ask Him.
@@Johnnyprc He was born again. The organizations lies went out the window by the redeeming grace of God.
@@Johnnyprc Do you believe that Jesus was resurrected or recreated?
Absolutely love this conversation. I wish all of his conversations were this way.
When Peter asked Jesus: He asked when he will show them the Father, Jesus answered and said have I not been with you for long that you do not know me?
Love this, was raised JW, left on my own around '99, been a Christian since❤
That is ironical?
JWs are the only True Chrsiatians Jesus is leading in the fulfillment of Matthew 24:14.
Can one let us know what God's Kingdom is?
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).
out of the fire and into the frying pan, you've learned nothing
JWs are Christians...you didn't pay attention. To be honest though, I grew up JW, and didn't pay any attention either.
@@derekjohnson8428 JW's are not Christians. To be a Christian, you must believe that Jesus is Jehovah (Rom 10:9-13; Kurios is being used in place of the divine name).
This is what I love about Jeff, he’s not a heresy hunter, he speaks truth in love, he practices love in evangelism and teaching
He also doesn't get anyone saved because he's a Calvinist dog.
Yeah I like Jeff. It's a shame he's a calvinist
have you seen how he behaves when the same approach is used on him... it doesn't turn out well...
he dodges, he says he doesn't have time, he says to send him an email that he will not respond to... and the other person exercised even more calm and humility than Jeff offers...
Jesus is NOT God himself. Hosea 11:9 states "For I am God and not man,The Holy One in your midst;" GOD is NOT MAN/HUMAN. And GOD does not change, so are you thinking GOD is a liar and changed?
@@Mr.DC3.1914 I see we found one of the Muslims....... however, Jesus is God "incarnate" or God in Flesh (see 1 tim 3:16)
God's nature does not change
God's character does not change
God's plan does not change
and yes... God planned from the beginning to manifest himself in flesh at the foundation of time....
but Jesus is not your King is he?
That was one of the best none belligerent conversations I have ever seen beautiful....
The JWs are non-belligerent up to a point. Once the congregation learns who you are and detects that you are a challenge to the "flock", things get dicey. I studied with some local JW leadership for about six weeks. Eventually they got up and stormed out calling me a "Wolf-like one". The congregation was instructed to have nothing to do with me.
Jesus himself says himself in revelations he says " I am the Omega and Alpha the beginning and the end , the Lord Almighty "
Jesus literally say it in revelations. He is The Omega and Alpha beginning and the end.
Which is the exact quote GOD the Great I Am says.
I do believe it says all this in Revelations chapter 1.
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.
Explain Mark 16:19 After the lord Jesus had spoken to them he was taken up to heaven and sat down at the right hand of god.
The Alpha & Omega quote in the king James bible was a corrupted one.
You are not believing that because Satan is called the god of the world, it refers to God THE MAJESTY... what are you reading?
At least Paul says that Jesus is not God THE MAJESTY. You want the exception to break the rule... something that the Bible does not promote or people as intelligent as Paul never promoted by being Explicit.
I thoroughly enjoyed this. No rudeness, no anger, just discussing the bible. And by His grace they will know Him better. Which is the essence of it.
no rudness is one thing.....talking garbage is another..

did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
rather, he made himself nothing

New International Version
But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that WE SERVE IN THE NEW WAY OF THE SPIRIT, and not in the old way of the written code.
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.

It's absolutely stunning how interactions such as this can remain cordial throughout the extent of the conversation. When both parties remain level-headed and sincere. Not being heady or quick to anger. This was an incredible video showing people of two differing views on a subject. The gentleman that came up and interjected 20min in was right on the money. This was a beautiful dialogue.
The only major problem is one is right and one is wrong
That is how it tends to go off the internet. People respect each other face to face
The question is not who can speak cordially. Who has the TRUTH?
@@tongakhan230 Depends on YOUR definition of the TRUTH.

@@terrybradshaw3394 But was the scripture wrong?
Crear exposition by the Christian pastor ,we can see the Jew’s don’t do good hermenéuticas or exegesis,it teaches us to learn the Bible and not follow other people without examine their teachings with scripture.
@@johnnyqpublic1000 The scriptures are not wrong, but his "explanation" of what he claims they mean are.
The Bible clearly states Jehovah is the only true God and there is no other besides him. (Deuteronomy 4:35) [Use a Bible that doesn't replace God's name with titles, like Lord or God. Use the American Standard Version, Divine Name King James Version, Young's Literal Translation or others that still have God's name]
The Bible clearly tells us that Jehovah is God's name and that will be his name forever. (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. (Isaiah 42:8)
Jesus disciples identify him as the Son of God. (Matthew 16:16)
At John 10:36 after the Jews accuse Jesus of making himself a god, Jesus corrected them and called out their false accusation of blasphemy by reiterating that he had said, "I am God's Son". If Jesus were God, he would have admitted it there instead of correcting them.
Revelation 3:14 tells us that Jesus was the beginning of creation by God, yet he tries to claim that John 1:1 which says Jesus was with God in the beginning means he was already there before the beginning. He is wrong and that is not what the Bible says.
You must read the entire bible, not just a couple of verses to get the full meaning.
@@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
I really appreciate, how gentle he was with them. Glory to God alone.
What's God's name?

Jeff’s street evangelism is how I was introduced to Jeff’s ministry. Needless to say, it’s been a huge blessing and I’ve learned a lot from not only from his debates, sermons, and podcast, but also from watching him share the gospel with Mormons, Jehovah Witnesses, pro choice advocates, and everyone in between. Seeing him use apologetics with real life application is inspiring. He’s one of the very, very few I watch doing this that truly exhibit the fruit of the spirit when he hits the streets sharing the gospel. Firm, consistent, but with a posture of grace. May God continue to bless his entire ministry. I pray the seeds planted grow with these JW.
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) .

Jeff is not a pastor.
He is a representative of the fairly recent heretical Protestant 30:17 religion. The term pastor is reserved for those who have apostolic succession as sacred scripture teaches us. Christ said he would protect his one holy apostolic church with the spirit of truth - and it’s not Jeff’s Newfangled processing version of so-called Christianity. I wouldn’t even consider Jeff a Christian, he’s a protestant. He has rejected those who Christ sent. His Bible is missing seven books! For goodness sake. Anyone who actually knows church history knows that protestants are new on the scene - they are the wide road that Christ warned about straight to hell.

I really am advancing my biblical knowledge and faith getting into apologetics. This was so enjoyable to watch as a Christian that has JW neighbor and when we moved here we agreed to studies with them and enter into that world lightly for a short time. Instead of being manipulated into that. I was determined to grow my faith as a Christian and now have preached to them and 1 other JW who came to our door, needless to say they talk to us about their beliefs anymore, but we still have a very friendly, neighborly relationship and just be an example for them by the way we live.
Jw's are correct they are true Christians
It is important to note that the vast majority of times Jesus is referred to as THE FIRST AND THE LAST, but rather every time, reference is made to him being THE FIRST TO RESURRECT, for example... Acts 26:23 "being the first to rise from the dead" AND THE LAST, Revelation 1:15 "Ruler of the kings of the earth."
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9
Perfecting timing! I work with a Jehovah witness and I share the gospel to him all of the time. Besides sharing the true gospel and the true Christ which is first and foremost the number one thing. Being an example of a Godly Christian is also a powerful testimony. He couldn’t comprehend a time that I forgave someone at work. He couldn’t for the life of him wrap his head around the fact that I could have mercy one someone so quick and so easily. It’s because he has never been eternally forgiven. Pray for my friend Matt please.
Praying for Matt. Thank you for being a faithful witness of our Risen King Jesus Christ.

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
, I stay with the opinion of Paul, who, when speaking to the Jews about the divinity of Jesus, was clear and concise, see "Hebrews 8:1,2 *, it is clear and even more so when he could not play games and would have to be explicit when speaking to the Jews, because this would perhaps be the only opportunity to CLARIFY the message, position and divinity of Jesus the Christ... so he calls him and identifies him as "the high priest", a servant, a reflection, a slave, an intermediary.... * "Well, the main point of what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, and he has sat at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty (not the Magesty, Paul being explicit) in the heavens 2 and is a servant of the holy place and of the true tent that Jehovah set up, and not man." ... for a good understander few words.... let him who has ears hear.

a prayer, a meal, yard work, fix a gate. I don't care ~ We just love serving in a pure way. I pray everyday
to bless the life of someone. Miraculously our paths cross, and we are all EDIFIED together. We also
serve those who are recovering addicts, even gay couples. We did 12-Step meetings in County Jails
for 3 years. ABSOLUTELY LOVED these incredible Citizens. Their FAITH IS PURE. Be Brave and BE NICE.

He will continue to do the work he is doing because that is what the Lord has commanded us to do.
The key word in “Christian” is “Christ”!!
He is the center of things, and we follow Him, and what He and His Apostles taught us. Your opinions on religion and tolerance are less than “minor”.
We’re all doing our best to understand the incredible power the Bible possesses.
I will say though that it makes no logical sense that Jesus would communicate in such a complicated way regarding whether or not he was God, when all the rest of his time on Earth he spoke in simple illustrations, out of LOVE, assuring that all levels of intellect could understand, granted they had the right heart condition. If you’re trying to win over as many people as possible then you’re going to make your words simple. He did not mince words. This one (out of many examples) is literally all that is needed:
John 20:17 “ Jesus saith to her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended unto the Father: but go unto my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.”
In every Bible it says “...My Father and your Father, My God and your God”
How elementary is that communication? How critical was it (so obviously) to Jesus that the message he ordered to be passed on, be intelligible?
Science is the language to explain the workings of God’s creation. Do you not think Jesus knew what a father son relationship means scientifically? And how being consistent with that would be consistent with his intent to communicate in intelligible illustrations. AKA, The Father and the son are two separate identities. I and MY father are not one. That’s the way a human understands that concept. There is no possible way in the universe to get around that, unless you possess the power of Satan to start such a confusing lie. He was the first liar, the first actor, the first mincer of words and he’s passed that on to many trusting people. Catholicism and the like have been passing down their original 5th century lie all these centuries, which was originally to steer the masses away from God. I prefer my doctrines to be written immediately after the fact, not 500 yrs later. No scholar denies that Catholicism does not follow the 1st century Christians. They blatantly disobey many of Jesus and God’s simple orders. One of the biggest ever is to not worship false idols. The cross is one. There is literally not one single mention of the cross anywhere in the Bible at all. Check for yourself. The literal Hebrew translation for starros is stake. No scholar denies that either. Jesus died on a stake, not a cross. The T in cross represents the Pagan God Tammus. That’s not honoring Jesus. Also, why would you ever want to be remembered by the horrible thing you were poorly treated and murdered on? That’s not a loving way to remember our savior. Jesus never requested that a single soul do that. Not one character in the Bible gave permission to do that. Read it yourself so you can be sure to not be had by people that claim to know better than you.
Another example: Matthew 23:9 “And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.” - Jesus Christ
Religions that believe in the trinity also disobey this order. Catholicism calls their priests “Father”. Again, Jesus did not mince words. When he says not to do something, you do not do it. At all. We all know that Jesus and God could see the future. Do you not think one of the biggest things they wanted to warn us against was “the false friends of Christianity.”
One of the most worldly iconic expressions in the religious category is the Catholic people calling their priests “Father”.
Jesus also said, “By this all will know that you are my disciples- if you have love among yourselves”
Jesus also said, “By this all will know that you are my disciples- if you have love among yourselves”
Why do you think so many people hate Christianity? Because all denominations but one participate in one or more of these things as regular practice: war, divisive politics, high levels of revenue for their churches, child molestation, divorce, etc.
Jehovah’s Witnesses don’t participate in any of these things.

The holy spirit belongs to Jesus' own God. The spirit *of* Jehovah had to settle upon Jesus.
Isaiah 61:1 " The spirit of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah is upon me,
Because Jehovah anointed me to declare good news to the meek."
The spirit is not a seperate person.....the Jews never taught that..the Jewish/ Christian.
..the apostle Paul taught me that there is one God, and names the actual person, who consitutes the wholeone namely the Father alone=God. Which person did Paul teach was God at 1 Corinthians 8: 6? The Holy Spirit, the Son, or the Father?
" To us there is One God, the Father...." Paul's words.
In contrast to this man tickling your ears.
Psalm 83: 18 also states that Jehovah alone ( singular ) is the Most High over all the earth.
The divine name is minted on ancient coins.
Father glorify YOUR name...Jesus words. ( John 12 : 28 )

JWs worship the same one God that Jesus does and said to - the Father.
Since Jesus said that, that means the trinity is false and pagan.
John 14:28 near the end of that says: I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I am.
But is the father better than Jesus
@@danpetrari2329 better?
Do you mean greater? Or better?
He's without a doubt greater.. "better" is an interesting word.
He displayed his father's qualities perfectly... so maybe the same "better-ness" but not the same mighty-ness.
Jesus is always subject to his father.
@@danpetrari2329 You said "But is the father better than Jesus"
What does the Bible show?
Mark 10:18 Jesus said to him: “Why do you call me good? Nobody is good except one, God.
John 5:19 Therefore, in response Jesus said to them: “Most truly I say to you, the Son cannot do a single thing of his own initiative, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things that One does, these things the Son does also in like manner. ...
30 I cannot do a single thing of my own initiative. Just as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous because I seek, not my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
Agreed, Jesus never spoke figurative words to his apostles,while he used SWORD,,figurative statements to those not allowed to know the secrets of God's kingdom,@Mat,10:26-28/13:10-11/Mark,4:34/Mat.10:34-36.
And how did John knew and wrote this, if Mary did not do Jesus instruction to her "stop clinging to me, and go, tell my apostles that I will ascend to my father and your Father, to my God and your God, was John only invented John,20:17. ??????

@@vaxrtz One God three persons.
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.)
@@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.
Thank you Brother Jeff for your insight and humility in sharing the true Christ. Lord please rescue these woman. Sole Deo Gloria!
The greatest tool you have to use is to implore them to research themselves. It's discouraged by the watchtower and nearly every single concert states they started to question JW after researching questions they had on their own.
Very well done. Good job on knowing the Good Book and trusting in the Holy Spirit to guide you. And with good respect for them. I will share with others. Thank you brother.
God bless you Pastor Jeff, thanks for posting these videos. I learn from the examples and the scriptures you quote. Keep up the great work, and may the Lord bless everything you put your hand too.

All praises to the one and only TRUE GOD, Jehovah and His son, Jesus!
Jesus is Jehovah, the second person of the triune God (Mar 1:2-3, Rom 10:13, Phi 2:10-11, 2Thes 1:9, 1Pe 2:3, 3:14-15, etc).
@@BasicBiblicalTruthJesus is the servant of Jehovah. (Acts 3:13) Who is the God of Jesus when we leave God’s Name in Micah 5:4??
Nicky, the guy who thinks that two opposing things can be true at the same time.
Nicky, why don't you just cite the LSB, ASV, LSV, or one of the many other Bibles that contain the divine name in the OT ... which also don't unjustly insert it into the NT?!
I'm glad you acknowledge that Jesus is the Messiah, foretold in the OT. If only you would accept the rest of the Biblical claims about Jesus.
The God of Jesus is YHWH/Yahweh/Jehovah.
It's amazing how you keep bringing this up when I confess it whole heartedly. Obviously it's because you ignore why I accept it: The second person of the triune God became human, and thus, assumed a new relationship with the Father, that of a servant (Phil 2).
Christian theology is coherent, JW theology is not.
In JW theology Jesus is Michael the archangel. But have JWs ever thought about what the GB alleges in this claim? Consider how ridiculous their claim is:
1. Jehovah created Michael the archangel, a demigod who creates everything on behalf of Jehovah (contrary to Isa 44:24 & 45:12).
2. Michael ceases to exist.
3. Jehovah creates the human Jesus (who has no correspondence with Michael. There was no incarnation of Michael, rather, at some point Micahael ceased to exist and Jesus was created. So why Michael had to be annihilated I do not know. This belief also contradicts the Gospels account that Jesus “came down from heaven”).
4. Jesus lives, dies, and ceases to exist.
5. Jesus 2.0 is created (which JWs call resurrection, but is not the same as the Jewish/Christian concept of resurrection).
6. Jesus 2.0 (another human Jesus) hangs out with the disciples for 40 days and then … what? JWs are really sure.
7. Jesus 2.0 ceases to exist somehow and Jesus 3.0 (a spirit creature) begins, who is also called Michael (even though the Bible never makes that connection, and actually shows Michael and Jesus are separate entities; cf. Jude).
This is just one more teaching of JWs that they accept without any semblance of critical thinking.
@@BasicBiblicalTruth I asked you if Revelation 19:1-6 is part of the NT. How many times in your favorite Bible translations does it use God’s abbreviated name in that passage?
No “the second person of the trinity” is nowhere found in the Bible. Jesus the Christ the Son of the Most high, the Son of the living God does appear in the Bible. And since Jesus is not the Son of himself he is the Son of the Father. (Matthew 16:16; Luke 1:32: 2 John 3) Jehovah is the name of the God and Father of Jesus. Jesus is not the Father. Thus not Jehovah.
Saying he is still a human or man in heaven is just ludicrous. The Bible doesn’t teach that.
Micah 5:4 brings out the Messiah’s God who he worships is Jehovah. You can’t be the God you worship no matter where you are or how you try to slice it.
@@BasicBiblicalTruth You are trying to deflect on whether or not Jesus is the Angel of the LORD many think is Michael. Many trinitarians believe this as well. True or not? From your own camp. Look it up. But as I told you my faith does not hinge on that at all. What we do know is Jesus is NOT Jehovah.
See Psalm 110:1. Who commands Jesus to sit at his right hand again?? Quote it from any Bible translation. I’m ready.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The word was god not God. First of all the word (bible) has a beginning and end. That sound God to you? God has no beginning and end!!! The word of God is the mind of God, His holy spirt (John 15:26). God has two attributes one communicable (can be acquire by men) the other not (the omnis). God holiness is communicable, meaning, we can be holy. But we cannot be omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent etc. Jesus represent the holiness of God, proving that we can be like God (conformity). Jesus (human) exemplify that truth and possibility.The creation represent the other attributes (omnis) of God. Rom 1:20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. Psa 19:1"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands". Jesus was no different from Adam before he sinned. The mind/spirit of God and every created human governs our being. God omni attributes is govern by His holy mind or spirit. This is the reason why God wants us to be holy. For if we do became holy, no matter what our physical attributes are it will abide by our mind/spirit. Let me give you an example, you've watch spider man, there's a sequel in which there were two of them, one in regular suit, the other black. These two represent their heart and mind. Red suit for good and black for bad. Good, red suit, uses his physical power for good, black the opposite. This exactly what God want for us to be holy in heart and mind. For we are what we think. Read the bible.

Deuteronomy 4:35 Jehovah is the true God
Exodus 3:15 Jehovah is God’s name, forever
Colossians 1:15 Jesus is the firstborn of all creation.
Proto is literally first, as in prototype. Tokos is the root word for “to give birth to” or to bring forth. It literally means that Jesus is the first one being created.
The trinity didn’t come about till the 4th century.
Monogenes is from the root word mono, meaning one or only, that is the part that means one of a kind. Genes is the root word meaning to father or to beget. So monogenes does mean only-begotten, or, the only one created by God.
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.

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.
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

Thank You pastor Jeff. I learn so much here especially talking with my unbeliever friends. Glory to God!
I really don't understand how any could hear this man and still have disbelief. Incredibly wise man and devout follower of Christ and His word
I listen to Jesus, as an ex trinitarian. Jesus said that the true worshippers would be worshipping the Father, to the Samaritan woman. As a trinitarian, I was brought up to worship and serve Jesus.
The apostle Paul taught me :" There is one God the Father. " In contrast to this man tickling your ears..teaching that 3 persons are one God, Paul taught,,.only the Father and no other fractions cinstitute the wholeone namely, God,
Praise be, the God and Father of our lord, Jesus Christ. ( 2 Corinthians 1: 3. )
You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, because salvation begins with the Jews.23 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.+ 24 God is a Spirit, and those worshipping him must worship with spirit and truth.” ( John 4: 22-24 )
Only one being , constitutes * the One * true* God. Jesus' own God and Father, whom he taught us to worship. ( John 17: 3 )
As regards the Son, the apostle John concluded his chapter 20 with verse 31:" 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."

Simple question to ask those that do not believe Jesus is God - Why was Jesus crucified? Why did the Pharisees and High Priests condemn Jesus to death? For claiming to be God!
For claiming to be the Messiah and the Son of God, which they considered blasphemy. Nowhere does Jesus claim to be God.

When you read your complete Bible to the point you understand the intent God desired in the writing you will understand. This will require understanding Greek and Hebrew words since English is unable to fully convey the intent. Example - What does it mean to be the Son of God? Hint - it is not the same as the son of Bobby Fisher.
@@tbl8560 so your argument is: the original Biblical languages cover up the true esoteric meaning of the Bible and deep word study will reveal that "Son of God" = YHWH, which is a contradiction in terms. Cool. Thanks for the virtue signal though: guess I just don't know the Bible as well as you do!
@@bobbyfischersays1262 not an argument, just providing insight. Most read an English translation and interpret the writing based on the English language and they're perspective of it.

How do you know what the intent of the passage is if you don't know which of the 7 Greek words was originally used that are translated to love in the English?
Both JW’s and Reformed Trinitarians are wrong. All ante-nicene Christians correctly believed the Father is the One God of the Bible just as Scripture states (1 Corinthians 8:6, John 17:3) but Jesus is “Theos” (God) in the sense of being the true Son of God with His Father’s divine nature. Read the Nicene Creed in Greek, it says there is One God, the Father, and One Lord, Jesus Christ, and Christ is “Theos” from “ton Theon” (The God), showing they are not God in the same sense.
Jeff I love your heart and your passion to share the truth with the lost. Thank you. I learn so much from you!
simply amazing explanation ♥
È Stata una Evangelizzazione amorevole, educata, ordinata e guidatissima, sei una grande benedizione! Hai iniziato l'approccio in modo amichevole , hai confutato la loro malsana dottrina in modo rispettoso e alla fine hai detto la pura e santa verità su la conseguenza di non creda che Gesú sia Dio, questo è un frutto meraviglioso e hai onorato l'amore di Gesú Cristo fino alla fine; Dio ti benedica caro fratello.
Jeff’s skills with the Bible is the reason for my passion in apologetics and now polemics. I love how he knows Gods Word and how to share with gentleness and respect. God bless his ministry. And pray for those JWs.
Sir I think you met the best witnesses ever. Loved how they were so free to air their views. Most of them don’t . I love their energy, it’s a proof they both seek Truth.
Except that convenient "shift change" lol. And the prodding from one of the women to attend one of their services to "change your perspective". And the "we agree to disagree". They seemed pretty hardened in their views.
@@natalyd9674 The Trinity believer was no less hardened in his views.
@@jimross1765 Exactly. Because the truth cannot be compromised. He had scripture to back him up. They had tradition and a book written by a man who claimed to be a prophet and nothing he said came true. Don't let tradition get in the way of salvation.
@@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. Jesus is the second created Adam who never sinned and obeyed his Father. He is the first born son of a new creation into the Kingdom of God.
@@natalyd9674 Keep in mind he was the one that approached them with an agenda and was prepared. They had no idea this was coming.
There’s one path that let’s you you’re reading and understanding God’s word correctly. It’s when he reveals himself to you, stay put, you’re in the right Group. And the revealing is not an emotion, it’s not an uplifting from fellow believers, or through music, it’s not a hunch. It’s God himself demonstrating the supernatural, just like the stories in the Bible. Now that’s how you know, your’e in the right group. If he hasn’t revealed himself, keep jumping churches.
How come Jesus does not know the day and hour of his coming ? He said only the father knows if jesus is God how come only his father knows ? ? Matthew 24:36
I love how lovingly you explain the truth to the deceived ❤ and I pray the Holy Spirit gives me the opportunity and the words to do the same when I visit my Aunt next week! I needed to see this! Good bless your ministry! 💜✝️💜
Prayers for you and your aunt! 🙏🏼
@@monew632 thank you! It looks like my mother and I will see her on Friday April 21, along with my uncle, and cousin. They all need to meet the Jesus of scripture. My mother and I would be honored if God chooses to use us for that. Please keep us in your prayers! - Jamie
Deuteronomy 4:35 Jehovah is the true God
Exodus 3:15 Jehovah is God’s name, forever
Colossians 1:15 Jesus is the firstborn of all creation.
Proto is literally first, as in prototype. Tokos is the root word for “to give birth to” or to bring forth. It literally means that Jesus is the first one being created.
The trinity didn’t come about till the 4th century.
Monogenes is from the root word mono, meaning one or only, that is the part that means one of a kind. Genes is the root word meaning to father or to beget. So monogenes does mean only-begotten, or, the only one created by God.
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.
Randomly stumbled across this video as I’m sitting in a hotel room in Salt Lake City on vacation. I was born and raised a Jehovah’s Witness in Chicago . I ran into JWs in downtown during my stay here . My mind is blown at how timely me stumbling across this video is .
Praise God!! I pray you know God loves you and wants to adopt you into his family. Just repent, accept Jesus is Lord, raised from the Dead, and died on the cross.❤❤❤
Daniel, this was no coincidence. If you have not yet, turn to Jesus. He is calling you.
Please see my two posts to Pastor Jeff Durbin, above!
Things he does not inform his readers about!

Just the demons at work! Jesus said that Satan is the god of this world and the Power of the air! The great deceiver……watch out! Be care of what you listen to! You were on your way to everlasting life in the Kingdom, that Our King, Jesus will rule over from the heavens over the earth. Read Daniel 2:44! Don’t be deceived by these unrighteous ones!
I think it was beautiful the way you demonstrated love for them and at the same time ended with why you both disagree. I think it was finally just too much weight for them to bear. As a former convert of 27 years to the Mormon cult, it took me several years to start to see the cracks in their doctrinal beliefs. So I think you have planted seeds of truth. We pray that those seeds will grow if they seek after the truth. Let us all lift those two sisters up in prayer that the Spirit will open their eyes and give them the courage to embrace God’s truth, and act on it.
Amen
As Christians we need to get busy. Time is running out. I talk to people but l need to do it every and all day.😢😢
