(Acts 17:31) Because he has set a day on which he purposes to judge the inhabited earth in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed, and he has provided a guarantee to all men by resurrecting him from the dead.”
If God calls Jesus a man, who are we to say Jesus is God.
also,
If we are Christians, shouldn't we worship the God Jesus told his followers to worship?
(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 17:26) I have made your name known to them and will make it known, so that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in union with them.”

Great post. Just here in a couple scriptures it clearly shows who Jesus is even by his own words.
Like these few scriptures there are hundreds that show this same fact that Jesus is God's SON, not God but his SON.

I love to use the Scriptures as they are so clear.
Hope you are feeling better.
(Revelation 21:4) And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
What a wonderful future to look forward to!

John 5:18
Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

The Jews understood what Jesus meant. Why can't you?

Isaiah 9:6
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Couldn't be clearer who Jesus is.

Unless of course one reads a corrupt translation and is brainwashed by false doctrine.

Those are wonderful promises. But your teachers are inserting into your instruction a rebellion which cries out to God -

"We do not want this man to reign over us." (Luke 19:14)

So a paradise earth you like.
So a pleasant planet you like.
So tears wiped away from man's eyes you like.
All these benefits you like.

But you have a revolt in your heart inspired by the same forces which had Christ crucified.


" But his citizens hated him and sent an envoy after him, saying, We do not want this man to reign over us." (Luke 19:14)

Yes, as Christians, according to the Bible:
(Romans 1:12) or, rather, that we may have an interchange of encouragement by one another’s faith, both yours and mine.
I love how clear and true the Bible is and how
it directs us in the correct course if we read it and meditate on it.

Also, needless to say, if we practice what we are directed to do.

I guess this might be the feeling of a literal Jew.
Spiritual Jews feel differently.
They welcome the services of the High Priest Jesus Christ,
even as the 1st Century Jews should have.
They knew the promises and were expectig the Messiah yet they rejected him when he came.
(John 1:11) He came to his own home, but his own people did not accept him.

I find it two-curlingly nauseating when you JWs slobber of each other's posts, as though each of you posted something that the other hadn't already been told in your church or force fed by your religious organisation. You all do it.

It's what we do as holder of god's truth brother
Yes brother we are truly blessed
And awesome and beautiful
Yes brother

Etc, ad infinatum ad tedium ad nauseum

Well, the good side of this is they do show love for their Christian brothers, as Jesus told us to do. Some others here could take a lesson.

The bad side of this is that they do not consider anyone except JWs to be Christian, which is not just nonbiblical, but anti-biblical at best.

Except @beauroberts.

Remember how he was completely ignored by all of them after revealing that he had been shunned by his Kingdom Hall? And they called him a liar too. It was disgusting.

Sorry, but I didn't not recognise the revolting sycophancy exhibited by them as being "brotherly love".
