You have not done any serious research to think that “I AM” is the Symbolic HEBREW Name God used ONLY ONE TIME before revealing His REAL Name, the Name that He (not ‘They’) said would be so FOREVER. (Ex 3)

And Jesus’ word was “ego eimi” (GREEK- NOT Hebrew) which has MANY shades of meaning, such as " I am, was, have been, will be, etc…

And Jesus was NOT answering them in e-bonics.

My, accepting what Jesus said is “spitting on Jesus”!

I guess there are NON-thinkers here, as well.

“YOU, the ONLY true God!”
""Those who believe in me do not believe in me only, but in the One who sent me. "
"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust ALSO in me.
“I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to MY God and your God!”
“The one who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of MY God.”

God means “the Supreme Being”, not "the Three ‘Co-Equal’ (Co-Supreme) Beings’.

PAY ATTENTION to what JESUS said, please!
 
I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come.

^^^^^ This to an Arian is like garlic to a vampire…
 
I believe in a Three-in-One one God,
the Nameless Father who is Co-Almighty with Two Others,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one LordGod Jesus Christ,
the Never Begotten God,
true Gods from true God,
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
He came down from heaven,
while the Father remained
and by the Holy God-Spirit was born a BabyGod of the Virgin Mary,
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered and his body died and was buried,
remaining alive those 3 days
and the body rose again on the third day
not in accordance with any of the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the God-the-Father,
and the Ghost-God is on the left hand…or SOMEWHERE.

He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the living dead
Even though trillions of them are already being burned alive in Hellfire.

and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy God-Spirit, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the God-Father and the unborn Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has not spoken of through any of the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
Right or Wrong.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and then can do anything I want and be saved.
and I look forward to the ‘resurrection’ of the living dead
as they re-enter physical bodies
and the life of the world to come.

@theMadJW

I deleted most of my earlier posts.

I realized they were overly harsh, bordering on uncharitable, judgmental, somewhat elitist, overly confrontational, and mean spirited.

I publicly apologize to you, and I also want to say that most of the JW’s I’ve known in person have been decent, honorable people.

May Our LORD YHWH bless and forgive us both always, and may we follow the example of Jesus always.

Thistle- we and many OTHERS have mistaken what GOD’S prophecies mean.
That is off topic, and looks like you are attempting to divert.

ARE you?
 
Easy my friend, easy.

Remember the example Jesus set for us in dealing with… People with incorrect beliefs…
with the woman at the well - the Samaritans were to Jews what JW’s are to Christians.

“Open blasphemy”?
Quoting scripture instead of church theology?
It’s not I who said the Father is the ONLY true God- it was JESUS!
Was he “Openly blaspheming” God?
 
I am a Trinitarian, yet agree completely with the words attributed to Jesus Christ by John’s gospel. According to you, my positions are not consistent. Why not?

People call us “crazy”- especially ME, so I use it as my handle.
Still a JW, not DFed.
I just admit their blunders- unlike most of my bros and sis.

Can you do that regarding YOUR church?

I would have to be convinced that I am less liable to make a blunder on a particular question than at least 2000 years of the more intelligent and wise and good people that preceded my coming into existence. I can’t muster that kind of audacity, so I am quite circumspect about the alleged blunders of others.

Even children and adolescents can easily find and admit the blunders of someone else. It takes a good deal more self-reflection and unbiased scrutiny to admit one’s own blunders.

And yet the scriptures are there to PROVE what is true.
You either listen to them, or to men.
 
John- the First Chapter!
The CONTEXT~

1- In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Trinitarians try to ignore that he was “WITH” God- for that means he wasn’t LITERALLY God,
since he WAS with Him…unless there were two OTHER Gods- which they deny.
They can’t have it both ways!
Moses, too, was “God”- Ex 7:1-“I have made thee God to Pharaoh”- Darby

"Word" means Spokesman.
Was One of their Gods a Spokesman for the OTHER Two?
The CONTEXT of this book reveals what is REALLY meant- without…QUESTION!
Then, the REST of the Bible simply re-inforces it!

2- The same was in the beginning WITH God.
3- All things were made THROUGH him; and

[Notice “THROUGH” him?]

without him was not anything made that hath been made.
10- He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world knew him not.
14- And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.

[Note he says they SAW him- compare with the next verse!]

18- No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

John 1:34- And I have seen, and have borne witness that this is the SON of God.

No witness of a ‘Triune Godhead’- or any of the fabricated terms devised to prop it up.
God is not a ‘son’ of Himself/Themselves- a ‘God-the-Son’ - the EXACT OPPOSITE.
He is the son of God.

John 1:50- Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee underneath the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.
51- And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the son of man.
 
The son of Man! Is he ‘God-the-Son’? Or, as the BIBLE says, son of God?
Here is where that term was first used~

Dan 7:9- I beheld till thrones were set, and the Ancient of days did sit: his raiment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was flames of fire, [and] its wheels burning fire.
10-A stream of fire issued and came forth from before him; thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
13- I saw in the night visions, and behold, there came with the clouds of heaven [one] like a son of man, and he came up even to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.

No other thrones or beings sitting on thrones. Where is the ‘Trinity’?
“Coming with the clouds” is a symbol of things in heaven- as it is in the prophecies of Christ’s return.

-Continuing with Daniel 7~

14- And there was GIVEN him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away,
and his kingdom [that] which shall not be destroyed.

Was God approaching Himself, and giving Himself ( or God #2) all authority?
Was all this taken away from Jesus before becoming the Son of Man, then GIVEN BACK, as Trinitarians claim?
NO. The account doesn’t even HINT of anything being returned; it was a New Honor.

The Word of God, had become man, gone thru the most horrible of trials, and held True to his God and Father- Jehovah- and was REWARDED for it by being given this new position!
 
You know that’s not what meant. Quoting Scripture is not blasphemous, but certain interpretations are.

Speaking of quoting Scripture, can you quote exactly where in the Bible it says that everything must be directly found in Scripture, and that we are to go by Scripture alone?
 
“You MUST worship Him with spirit and truth!”- Jesus to the crowds
“Your word is Truth!”- Jesus in prayer.

Matt 7:24- “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25- And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26- And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27- And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”
