@sevensieteS it's called working hard and producing genuine biblical products to advance the Scriptures and also have my work supported. A laborer is worthy of his wages.
YHWH or JHVH. These four-consonant words are commonly called the Tetragrammaton, or Tetragram, derived from two Greek words meaning “four letters.” Now the question of accurate pronunciation arises because early Hebrew writing consisted of consonants with no vowels to guide the reader. So whether the pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton becomes Yahweh or Jehovah depends on which vowels the reader supplies to the four consonants. Today many Hebrew scholars prefer Yahweh as the true pronunciation. However, consistency favors Jehovah. In what way? The pronunciation Jehovah has been accepted in English for centuries. Those who object to using this pronunciation should also object to the use of the accepted pronunciation Jeremiah and even Jesus. Jeremiah would need to be changed to Yir•meyahʹ or Yir•meyaʹhu, the original Hebrew pronunciations, and Jesus would become Ye•shuʹaʽ (Hebrew) or I•e•sousʹ (Greek). Hence, many Bible students, including Jehovah’s Witnesses, feel that consistency favors the use of the already well-known English-language “Jehovah” and its equivalent in other languages. Why does the New World Translation use the form “Jehovah”? In English, the four letters of the Tetragrammaton (יהוה) are represented by the consonants YHWH. As was true of all written words in ancient Hebrew, the Tetragrammaton contained no vowels. When ancient Hebrew was in everyday use, readers easily provided the appropriate vowels. About a thousand years after the Hebrew Scriptures were completed, Jewish scholars developed a system of pronunciation points, or signs, by which to indicate what vowels to use when reading Hebrew. By that time, though, many Jews had the superstitious idea that it was wrong to say God’s personal name out loud, so they used substitute expressions. Thus, it seems that when they copied the Tetragrammaton, they combined the vowels for the substitute expressions with the four consonants representing the divine name. Therefore, the manuscripts with those vowel points do not help in determining how the name was originally pronounced in Hebrew. Some feel that the name was pronounced “Yahweh,” whereas others suggest different possibilities. A Dead Sea Scroll containing a portion of Leviticus in Greek transliterates the divine name Iao. Besides that form, early Greek writers also suggest the pronunciations Iae, I•a•beʹ, and I•a•ou•eʹ. However, there is no reason to be dogmatic. We simply do not know how God’s ancient servants pronounced this name in Hebrew. (Genesis 13:4; Exodus 3:15) What we do know is that God used his name repeatedly in communication with his people, that they addressed him by that name, and that they used it freely in speaking with others.-Exodus 6:2; 1 Kings 8:23; Psalm 99:9. The first rendering of God’s personal name in an English Bible appeared in 1530 in William Tyndale’s translation of the Pentateuch. He used the form “Iehouah.” Over time, the English language changed, and the spelling of the divine name was modernized. For example, in 1612, Henry Ainsworth used the form “Iehovah” throughout his translation of the book of Psalms. Then, in 1639, when that work was revised and printed with the Pentateuch, the form “Jehovah” was used. In 1901, the translators who produced the American Standard Version of the Bible used the form “Jehovah” where the divine name appeared in the Hebrew text. Explaining why he used “Jehovah” instead of “Yahweh” in his 1911 work Studies in the Psalms, respected Bible scholar Joseph Bryant Rotherham said that he wanted to employ a “form of the name more familiar (while perfectly acceptable) to the general Bible-reading public.” In 1930 scholar A. F. Kirkpatrick made a similar point regarding the use of the form “Jehovah.” He said: “Modern grammarians argue that it ought to be read Yahveh or Yahaveh; but JEHOVAH seems firmly rooted in the English language, and the really important point is not the exact pronunciation, but the recognition that it is a Proper Name, not merely an appellative title like ‘Lord.’”
Yes, it seems God only permitted "Allah" to create the Qu'ran if he included the verses below, so anyone who actually studied the Qu'ran can find the Truth. Many people who claim to be muslim say: "Bible and Torah were corrupted/changed by men." Which is in disagreement with their "Allah", who says: 1) "Torah and Bible are the word of God" (Surah 2:41, 3:3, 5:43-48). 2) "Words of God cannot be corrupted(change by men)" (Surah 6:115, 18:27). 3) Jesus says "I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life. No man can come to the Father except through me" (Bible, John 14:6). 4) If you believe the Qu'ran, you must then believe the Bible, which then cancels the Qu'ran.
@@Yeshua_Ha_MashiacAmen! Another verse I really like: John 20:28 and 29 Jesus never said Thomas was wrong for calling him God. In fact, he said those who believe he (Jesus) is God but never saw him (Jesus) are blessed to have such strong faith.
Who is Juan speaking to? It is the congregation who understood the divinity of Jesus, never as God the Majesty, so they could be spoken in that terminology without understanding that Jesus is God THE MAGESTY, EVEN when Jesus IS ALLOWED to receive GLORY AND HONOR that only belongs to THE MAGESTY AND THAT IT WAS NOT LIKE THIS, much less in the TIMES OF ISAIAS, UNTIL NOW that he gave his life as a sacrifice, and that I cannot be declared as such in the times of Isaiah, since that was not the message of justice that now after the death of Jesus, it would be. Paul understood it very well.
Your first mistake is thinking you can reason with a witness. As an ex witness, it’s like beating your head on a brick wall. I loved how you kept taking them back to the authority, the original Greek. They’re not trained to reason that way. You’re a great teacher.
Usually if I ever bring up I know Greek the conversation stops and an elder will come by and after I tell them my theology degree and the issue with John 1:1 and they stop. Then come back every year and they smile and leave when I still live there. How is this conversation going. continuing?
The sad thing is there was a time when they were taught to reason that way. I think it all started going downhill after Nathan H Norr. After him, the number of people that possessed that skill, just dwindled and dwindled. I think Franz was probably the last one who is a true master at it. The man was a genius. He was multilingual and counted Koine Greek among the languages he spoke. Anyway, Russell absolutely had nothing against debating people on biblical points. He frequently debated people using a Greek version called the Emphatic Diaglot which was an interlinear that was used before the Kingdom Interlinear was used. These days, they are discouraged from getting any sort of high-level education whatsoever, and positively forbidden from debating with anybody. Very few truly and deeply understand the points that they’re making with people as opposed to just repeating Word for Word what they are getting out of some of those publications. They only know the beaten path. They never stray from it.
@@MarcTelesha oh, oh, they would avoid you like the plague! 😆 I distinctly remember sitting in the audience about a decade ago during one of the meetings when the watchtower article for the week was being considered wherein they absolutely told us not to go digging in the Greek to try to second-guess the New World translation. We were told that even if we thought we understood it better, we didn’t. As a polyglot with several languages under my belt, and being fully acquainted with how easily things can be mistranslated when taken from one language to another, I remember being outraged by that stance. Anyway,you being trained and actually educated in the language would be far too much for them to handle.
Trust me, i was ignorant myself it took 8 yrs for my friend to invite me to church and i'm glad i did. It was hard for me to shed the old teachings, but truthfully everything i'm learning now about the word makes so much sense.
Hussein is an admitted former Muslim who converted to Christianity and he has better knowledge of scripture than most other Christians. He is someone the rest of the Christian community should model themselves after. Keep the faith, brother!
-Had no servants, yet they called him Master. -Had no degree, yet they called him Teacher. -Had no medicines, yet they called him Healer. -He had no army, yet kings feared Him. -He won no Wars, yet He conquered the world. -He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him. -He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today. Jesus Christ our God🙏🏽
@@beaniebaby1208 Symbolism. The Father looks down on reality. Jesus is his avatar. This is how he can sustain reality for eternity and participate in it simultaneously. Same God, different perspectives, different persons. Come to the Lord Jesus Christ, Yahweh, the Angel of the Lord, Emmanuel and learn the joy of eternal life.
I love the fact that you can control your tone, your emotion and your entire being when speaking to them. You do not get frustrated (or at least show frustration), you do not show angst or animosity. You are at perfect peace the whole time. It's incredible and so inspiring. Most people get angry in the conversations and they end up getting heated quite quickly. I can tell that God's Holy Spirit is strongly resting upon you.
Hussein is so patient and kind. I thought I would come here only to view a snippet of the video. Turns out, I finished watching part 1 and 2 altogether. Even more amazing, I picked up my bible and went to each scripture Hussein mentioned to examine, take notes, and feed my soul. It was truly helpful and a blessing. Thank you!!!
I was born and raised as one of Jehovah's witnesses. But Jesus Christ revealed himself to me. That He is LORD and GOD. And it is my prayer that they may receive that same revelation by the SPIRIT of GOD.
I rejoice for you as the angles in Heaven are that you have come to know Jesus. Im 51 and was born into jdub but i always knew it was wrong and a cult. My parents divorced when i was 7 and i fought against it until i was 16. I accepted Jesus as my savior and into my life in 2020 because i lost a cat that i dearly loved so much. He created my little Feral calico mix breed mutt Caley that i didnt know had FELV and im thankfull i had her for a little while. Let me assure you pets will be heaven cuz first time i felt the Holy Spirit was in prayer ( warm fuzzy imense love feeling with a small inner bright light that just expands and you just freeze up cuz its to intense and you cant handle him in full). Felt him 8 times so far. I read every book in the bible except psalms. Im only about half way through but ive read the other 65 books multiple times and ive had the pages jump out at me. Ive had multiple visions of Jesus and other things ( the Throne room was pretty cool ). And yes he has even talked ti me through scriptures but the really cool thing is when he answers questions through scripture or i ask a question one day and wake up the next with certain song lyrics fresh in my mind that answers the question. No its NOT Demons trying to mess with me because i question the spirits as we are told to do. Anyway so glad you got out of jws.
Amen. I too, was raised as a Jehovah witness but it always conflicted my spirit. After my husband (a Jehovah’s Witness) passed this this August, I decided to go into a fast for 10 days. During that fast I picked up the KJV and it revealed to me that Jesus is Lord and God. I am so thankful to him for revealing to me what I did not know for the entire 30 years of my life. I wish I could have shared this with my husband before his passing. He was disfellowshipped and suffered from depression from being shunned by everyone he knew, including his family. They didn’t even want to attend his funeral and talked me into cremating him for that reason. I Thank Jesus for saving my life from this religion.
I sat next to a Jehovah's Witness on the plane yesterday, and he noticed the Bible I was reading. He brought up the New World Translation, which was new to me. We had a conversation about the Bible, and he tried to persuade me to consider the Jehovah's Witness doctrine. I saw it as an opportunity to share my faith, which had been my prayer (open doors of opportunity to being people to Jesus) Although I was grateful for the chance, I felt a bit uncomfortable/lost as to what to say. Today, I came across this helpful video that discussed Greek comparisons in the Bible, which I found beneficial. I'm unsure how it appeared in my feed, but I'm glad it did. The speaker was very skilled at delving into the Bible in detail, something I may not be able to do, but it was certainly insightful. Thank you.
In the old testament, you see the word being given a personality. Example in Genesis where the scripture says the word was walking in the garden. You may ask how can a word walk? Genesis 3:8 KJV And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden. It goes to show that the word from the beginning is a person. In the book of John 1, he wrote, and the word became man and lived among us. That mean the word of God put on flesh and dwelt with mankind for a while. A person is what he says and what he does. The same way God is what he says abd what ge does. God's word is God Himself. You cannot separate God from his word. Thats is why Jesus being the word putting on flesh is God himself. People may argue but the reason why Jesus kept referring to His Father is because his Father was in his fullness and Jesus being the word was only on an assignment to save the world. He had only one purpose where as all purposes was in God. Therefore you hear him say my father is greater than I.
Unfortunately you have been deceived by this page just because a person claims to know greek doesn’t mean they are being honest you do realise you all read from a bible that Omits Gods true Name. How can you claim enlightenment when your bible doesn’t contain the most MENTIONED NAME in the BIBLE JEHOVAH.
@RubenLheureux Do you realize that the watch tower has replaced the name of God with Jehova? YHWH...pronounced Yahweh is the closest to the Hebrew name of God that we have because God's ame was considered so sacred they would not even write it in its entirety and used to leave a letter out. Also you don't need to know Greek we live in amazing times which means you will be without excuse on judgment day. Anyone can take the original language Greek and translate it. The Bible in keeping with that translates Yahew to LORD in all capitals. Go check it out every time you se LORD in all caps it means Yahweh...nothing has been ommited and you have been lied to by the watch tower.
@@RubenLheureux Firstly, one doesn’t necessarily have to listen to someone who claims to know Greek when the internet is free. You can do your own research on the on both the Hebrew and Greek manuscripts of the Bible and see the truth. Secondly, the most highest name of God is Yahweh, YHWH which is held at such a high standard that it was spelt short and used other names of God in respect for Him. One of the other names used was Adonai, which means My Lord. The letter J isn’t in the original text of the Bible. And the name Jehovah (Latin origins) was brought later as time progressed. Jehovah became a cross over between YHWH and the vowels from Adonai therefore before YaHoWaH. Later as the Latin language emerged becoming Jehovah. It is a beautiful name of God however, it is not the highest because its origin.
You know what I love? I love it when a Muslim converts to Christianity and is way more informed and zealous for THE WORD OF GOD. You remind me of Nabeel Quereshi He was a devout Muslim. He wrote a book called Seeking Allah and finding Jesus. I loved him so very much. I love these videos with the JW. I’m going to look your channel up and see what else you do. You won the debate, Brother in Christ ❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
As a native Greek from Greece, I can fully confirm that your teaching and interpretation of John 1:1 is accurate and Orthodox about the Greek text . And the Greek text is crystal clear.
Just because you confirm the Greek is accurate does not mean the 'interpretation' of a part of something is accurate. Interpretations don't necessarily mean getting the sense of the meaning of something. Personal perceptions and desire to control outcomes is what stylize interpretations serve. When people get the same accurate understanding of a particular thought, then they all end up on the same page and in agreement to collaborate. Jesus was all about agreement and collaboration. Which cannot happen when everyone is interpreting their own way. Just look at the world's politics and religions...divisive because of language and personal interpretations.
@@cugrngneer the text is clear and accurate. There’s only one possible interpretation of the passage. The text says that the Word was God. Not a God. The whole point of the passage is to say that the Word is YHWH. Who’s the Word? We are in luck, because the following verses explain the mystery.
@@nikostheater "We are in luck, because the following verses explain the mystery." Where are they? Do you mean "the text is clear and accurate" according to Your own understanding of ancient Greek, which King James's English translators translated from? Your understanding of Greek doesn't mean that the essence and understanding is being translated to the reader from ancient Hebrew to ancient Greek to middle ages English with accuracy or with collective agreement. Jesus promoted agreement among his followers regarding the Scriptures' message about him. The Father/Son relationship is a fundamental relationship humans are able to conceptualize and associate with. "Let US make man in OUR image..." (Gen 1:26) In verse 27 it says, " And God went on to create the man in his image..." Father gets all the credit and glory, but son works side by side in the work reaping his own reward. Connections we can experience. We don't naturally conceptualize that we are made up of multiple people with separate free wills along with 3 way hierarchy occupying the same body including a spirit entity sidekick. Evidently, because we are not created in the image of anyone defined as a trinity. We are all given the dignity of individuality, personality and will...Like Jehovah and Jesus see themselves. People use John 1:1 as if the rest of the Bible is irrelevant without realizing they are doing it. Do you know this scripture? (2 Tim 3:15-17)
@@nikostheaterthe definite article depends on context just as in 2 cor 4:4 theos doesn't mean Almighty God but the god of this world john 1:1 is a god a mighty one
@@oete9259 the word θεός means god. Not all mighty, not lesser, not godly, not exalted. It means god. Εν αρχή ήν ο Λόγος και ο Λόγος ήν προς τον Θεόν και Θεός ήν ο Λόγος. The verse literally is saying that the Word “Λόγος « is pre-existing, that the Word was with God and that the Word was God. The verse equates the Word with YHWH. It clarifies it further, because the Word is a creator of Creation along with God , to the point that EVERYTHING that was created, was created with the Word. So the Word is pre-existing and also a Creator. The whole point of the whole chapter is to point out that Λόγος is YHWH. The Elohim of Genesis 1:1.
No...they don't go around to want to talk to people..THEY WANT TO ONLY DECIEVE THEM...like It's been done to them..without the HOLY SPIRIT they will never understand the REAL WORD of the. LORD...

@@Maria__57 no one is denying the Christ is God’s son. John 10:36 Jesus Christ said: "I am God's Son." What we do not believe, especially since it was not a teaching of Jesus is the Trinity. It is a teaching that came about 300 years after Jesus died. The following scriptures show that Jesus is not God. John 14:28, RS: “[Jesus said:] If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I go to the Father; for the Father is greater than I.” 1 Cor. 11:3, RS: “I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.” Holy Spirit is Gods (The Most High)power. This is evident by what the angel told Mary at Luke 1:I n answer the angel said to her: “Holy spirit will come upon you, and power of the Most High will overshadow you. And for that reason the one who is born will be called holy,l God’s Son.”and at Acts 1:8 it says You will receive power when the holy spirit arrives upon you, and you will be witnesses of me both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the most distant part of the earth.” Clearly this shows that Holy Spirit is not a person but Gods power.
I’m an exJW and this is normal. They get stumped with a question that their Bible is wrong and they don’t have an answer. And they have to be right all of the time and always judge and say Christian’s are wrong. See how Lydia hesitated to even chat with him until he asked for further discussion. She said she would research it. She probably talked with an elder and he told her not to revisit this man’s house. And all they came back with was Big “G”, little “g”. They are not versed or understand scripture-I wasn’t either when I was JW. It’s sad. The indoctrination is crazy-it is false teachings.
My twin sister has been a JW for 60 years, me...a born again Christian for 51 years. She is very stubborn and pretty self righteous. Honestly, I believe that Jehovah's Witnesses are Old Testament. They have to believe that it's works that saves you. I have never been able to even reason with her. I do think that they can only be reached by personal revelation.
@margoblay4915 they're teaching from a corrupt script Ephesians 4:20-23 The truth is in Jesus Christ . Colossians 1:16-18 All things created by Jesus Christ Colossians 1:16-18 16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. In Jesus Christ dwells the fullness of the Godhead Colossians 2:9 8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

Jehovah Witness are more then allowed to question and ask and doubt you wont be kicked out if you doubt or question actually they support that because you should look for answers.. the reason Jehovah Witness dont really go deep into discussions is because they have only one task and that is to talk to the people about God because God wants us to preach his word and before his word reached the entire earth the end wont come.. they speak to people because they care and because God wants them to but when your not interested or you believe something else they respectfully back down.

John 1:1,2; 1 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God.” Is Jesus Christ God or the word of God? John 14:10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. So Jesus said the words that He speak it’s not His words, but God’s words. Let’s see what God says in the Scriptures below: Deuteronomy 18:18 I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brethren, and will put My words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him. Isaiah 42:1 “Behold! My Servant whom I uphold, My Elect One in whom My soul delights! I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles. Matthew 3:17 And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Now with the above Bible scriptures in mind let’s read, John 1:1 In the beginning was …… Jesus Christ…….the Word, and …… Jesus Christ…..the Word was with God, and the Word …… Jesus Christ spoke ……was God. 2 He…… Jesus Christ….. was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him…… Jesus Christ….., and without Him …… Jesus Christ…..nothing was made that was made. In Him ….. Jesus Christ,…. was life, and the life was the light of men.……. John 1:14 And the Word….. Jesus Christ…… became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. John 17:5 And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.
Listen my friend. ANY church that’s says you need to go to their church or be a member to have eternal life? RUN! It’s a cult. Any church you go to ask the head person this question. If ANY answer is not Jesus alone to have eternal life? Then it’s a cult. What they are saying Jesus isn’t enough, you need Jesus + their church for eternal life. THATS BLASPHEMY! Acts 4:12
God bless! I am praying for you! I recommend the book of John loved one! Jesus can never love you more or less than He does right now! Salvation is a free gift from the Lord through Jesus🫶❤️🥹
Oh that's awesome! I'm so happy for you! Just keep steady fast in the word and prayer and you will be okay, search around for a good scripture based church.. that's what I'm currently doing right now.
Haven’t seen Jehovah’s Witnesses want to leave so fast . I remember when I used to go to Beaty school every morning at the bus stop , someone wants to talk to me even though my bus is coming they don’t want me to get on 😂 some even gets on the bus with you lol . God bless this man he knows our lord and not backing down amen 🙏
❤Hussein you are truly a blessing to share your infallible Word of God! . My daughter and I had several JW come to our door and it wasn’t long they didn’t want the Truth of Holy Scriptures. After telling them they were speaking a false gospel they were enraged and left, the next day they came back to apologize for their behavior. Afterwards never seen them again .again. This reminds me of the few who enter the narrow gate and most live on the broad road that leads to Destruction. Our Sovereign God Foreknowledge is beyond our human intellect, these will be without excuse on the Great Day Of The Lord!

But the Coptic Greek in the 3rd century standardized the indefinite article, which is the first translated language by Greek-speaking Christians in Egypt, who were the direct descendants following Jesus's earthly ministry.

Also, the usage of article "a" in John 1:1c, suffices John 1:1b wherein "theon"/God was written in accusative case w/c required the translators to put "with" before God.

Hossein - thank you for part 2. This was a master-class in patience as you clearly pointed out the truth from scripture and they could not see. The seed has been planted. Well done.
You are correct, they are taught to break contact and move on, they will mark that you are "uninterested" and will not return if they don't think there is progress to be made. They attend a weekly meeting where they are taught a strict strategy to address these common debates.
See that makes no sense. If God needed a better newer book to learn from HE would not use anyone that could not read the original language the Bible was written in. The Dead Sea Scrolls are reinforcement for the Bible. It's sad that Satan has captured the minds and souls of the JW.
Bless you Brother Hussain for sharing and explaining right word of God,my middle name is also Hussain I am previous Muslim now in YASHUA Name.From India my family are muslim please pray for them,to know that our salvation is only in jesus Amen
I pray for your family, that Jesus Himself opens their eyes to see the truth of Christ. May He open their hearts and minds to the Truth, and may they come to accept Jesus, God in the flesh who died for their sins and rose again, as their Savior! Amen!
When you're talking to a _Paulian_ ... Q: Who is God? A: Jesus Q: Is Jesus the son of Mary? A: Yes, Q: Who is God? A: Jesus *God Jesus was born from the mother he created (Mary) Q: Is Jesus a born son? A: Yes, Q: Who is his father? A: God Q: Who is God? A: Jesus *God Jesus is the father of God Jesus and the creator of the mother he was born from her the son of his wife Q: Is Jesus the servant of God? A: Yes, Q: Did Jesus die on the cross? A: Yes, Q: And for whom did he go up? A: To God *God Jesus was crucified & ascended to God Jesus Q: Is Jesus a Messenger? A: Yes, Q: Who sent him? A: God Q: Who is God? A: Jesus *God Jesus was the messenger of God Jesus. God sends himself as a Messenger of himself Q: Did Jesus pray when he was alive? A: yes, Q: Whom was he praying for? A: For God Q: Who is God? A: Jesus *God Jesus worships God Jesus himself Q: Does God have a beginning? A: No Q: So who was born on December 25th? A: Jesus Q: Who is God? A: Jesus *God Jesus is eternal before everything but he was born in 25th Dec Q: Where is God? A: In heaven Q: How many Gods are there in heaven? A: God is only one. Q: Where is Jesus sitting? A: He is sitting on the right of God. Q: Is Jesus a God? A: Yes Q: So how many Gods are there in heaven? A: Only one God Q: Where is Jesus? A: He is sitting to the right of God. Q: So how many gods are there in heaven? A: Only one god. Still Q: Is Jesus a God? A: Yes Q: So who many seated gods are there? A: Only one God? Q: Where is Jesus? A: He is sitting next to the god. Q: How many gods are in heaven? A: Only one. Q: Are they sitting on the same chair? A: These words are understood only by the one who has the holy spirit. *so.. God sacrificed God to God in order to save God's creation from God. God prayed to God for help but God didn't help God, and God killed God with help from humans. And that God is a father of himself and the mother of himself and the son of mother he created at the same time. He is also eternal but his birthday is...?
I was JW but God has delivered me out the organisation,am closer to God now,at first it was the organisation that I tried to please now is God first,am much happy,JW they need our prayers and love

I’ve been praying for my older brother for over 30 years and we finally had a discussion and even though he is an elder and goes door to door every week he has no answers for any of the scriptures quoted on this video that prove Jesus Christ is God, I will continue to pray and ask Our Lord to remove the false indoctrination and save his soul
Jesus was crucified because He said to the Scribes that ''I AM'' (YHWH), and they said that Jesus had committed blasphemy by calling Himself God, and now they had a reason to kill Him!
As being raised as Jehovah Witnesses it’s sad seeing how stuck in mentality the people who follow it are. They read misguided, misinformed, and misleading text that can make someone who doesn’t know better blindly follow. I am glad that once I graduated high school and left the house I started doing my own research and started to think for myself. They are usually the most respectful people but it’s the mindset that will close their ears off to the true word. I will pray for them in Jesus’s name 🙏🏾
Bible translator William Barclay writes: “Now normally, except for special reasons, Greek nouns always have the definite article in front of them, . . . When a Greek noun has not got the article in front of it, it becomes rather a description than an identification, and has the character of an adjective rather than of a noun. We can see exactly the same in English. If I say: ‘James is the man’, then I identify James with some definite man whom I have in mind; but, if I say: ‘James is man’, then I am simply describing James as human, and the word man has become a description and not an identification. If John had said ho theos ēn ho logos, using a definite article in front of both nouns, then he would definitely have identified the logos [the Word] with God, but because he has no definite article in front of theos it becomes a description, and more of an adjective than a noun. The translation then becomes, to put it rather clumsily, ‘The Word was in the same class as God, belonged to the same order of being as God ‘. . . . John is not here identifying the Word with God. To put it very simply, he does not say that Jesus was God.”-Many Witnesses, One Lord (1963), pages 23, 24.
@@vivofilms William Barclay was brilliant and was incensed that he was misquoted by the watch tower. He demanded a full on apology from the watch tower which was never given to him. In other words the watch tower does what it does best flat out lies to their people. In the end God(Jesus) will judge them at the white throne. Revelation 21:8 all the liars will have their part in the lake of fire and brimstone.
@@vivofilms Interesting, did you manage to actually read the ENTIRE citation, of course you didnt JWs dont do research, they let 9 men in a forest do it for them. you put up there verbatim as per Watchtower....lets now finish it. sentences in brackets are what you left out as did the cult. [In a matter like this, we cannot do other than to go to the Greek, which is theos en ho logos. Theos is the Greek word for God, en for was, ho for the, logos for word. Now normally, except for special reasons, Greek nouns always have the definite article in front of them, *and we can see at once here that theos the noun for God has not got the definite article in front of it*.] When a Greek noun has not got the article in front of it, it becomes rather a description than an identification, and has the character of an adjective than of a noun. We can see exactly the same in English. If I say, "James is the man," then I identify James with some definite man whom I have in mind; but if I say: "James is man", then I am simply describing James as human, and the word man has become a description and not an identification. If John had said ho theos en ho logos, using a definite article in front of both nouns, then he would have definitely identified the Logos with God, but because he has no definite article in front of theos it becomes a description, and more of an adjective than a noun. The translation then becomes, to put it rather clumsily, "The Word was in the same class as God, belonging to the same order of being as God." [The only modern translator who fairly and squarely faced this problem is Kenneth Wuest, who has: "The Word was as to his essence essential deity." But it is here that the NEB has brilliantly solved the problem with the absolutely accurate rendering: "What God was the Word was]." John is not here identifying the Word with God. To put it very simply, he does not say that Jesus was God'" ['"God himself took this human flesh upon him." (William Barclay; Many Witnesses, One Lord, p27) ] BARCLAY WAS REFUTING MODALISM - NOT TRINITARISM!!!!! How deceitful of you. Just like WATCHTOWER. When Barclay says in his book, Many Witnesses, One Lord: "John is not here identifying the Word with God. To put it very simply, he does not say that Jesus was God", Barclay is refuting Modalism. Modalism states that the Father and the Son are the same person. Barclay is saying, with our brackets added for emphasis, "John is not here identifying the Word with God [the person of the Father]. To put it very simply, he does not say that Jesus was God [the person of the Father]". Jehovah's Witnesses deliberately confuse their readers by misinterpreting anti-Modalist comments. Such is the "deception of wickedness". When Barclay says in his book, Many Witnesses, One Lord: "The Word was in the same class as God, belonging to the same order of being as God." It is obvious that Barclay is viewing that Jesus is just as much VERY God as the Father. In Barclay's letter to Shoemaker, he says, "that he is of the same stuff as God, that is of the same being as God" which is echoing the Athanasian creed
@@vivofilms Letter written by William Barclay to Donald Shoemaker of Biola College after Shoemaker informed Barclay how the Watchtower had misquoted him: Dear Professor Donald Shoemaker, Thank you for your letter of August 11th. The Watchtower article has, by judicious cutting, made me say the opposite of what I meant to say. What I was meaning to say, as you well know, is that Jesus is not the same as God, to put it more crudely, that he is of the same stuff as God, that is of the same being as God, but the way the Watchtower has printed my stuff has simply left the conclusion that Jesus is not God in a way that suits themselves. If they missed from their answer the translation of Kenneth Wuest and the N.E.B., they missed the whole point. It was good of you to write and I don't think I need say anything more to make my position clear. With every good wish. Yours Sincerely William Barclay. (Letter written by William Barclay to Donald Shoemaker of Biola College after Shoemaker informed Barclay how the Watchtower had misquoted him, 26 August, 1977)
Im a child in my faith. Recently born again. But you were so patient and so respectful and in an honest quest for truth here and you can sense the frustration and unwillingness to listen and talk to you from these people…so for me , the fruit of the spirit is with you.
Incredibly frustrating to watch, but man I’m encouraged by how the spirit is moving through you. Makes me wanna go get in the word! Thank you brother, God bless you!
My goodness my brother you have the patience of a saint! I can't believe you were Muslim and now have found your way to Jesus! Praise God for you, you show so much love trying everything you can to make them see! You are certainly about His work on earth, and I'm proud to call you my brother! I wish I could read the Greek for myself. I have to go back and forth to translate all the time. It's so very sad to see them arguing with you, all the JW's need prayer 🙏 from us so they don't ever have to hear those dreadful words (I never knew you)! I pray the Holy Ghost hits them like a train and they join the family ❤️🔥 God Bless you and yours
@@hereweare9096 the holy Ghost/spirit is part of the Trinity. The father, the son and the holy spirit. The holy Ghost was released after Jesus Christ's resurrection. So God released the spirit to help us know who God is and how to follow him. The holy spirit will speak to us through our minds with a thought or an idea or to lead us by making an impression in our hearts to do something or say something or even think something that is according to God's will. For example, if you're having a debate or see something happening and you get a strong urge or feeling to say something according to God (stand up for him, defend him etc) that feeling you're feeling is the holy spirit doing work. I believe the Trinity is all God. The father is God, the son is God (Jesus Christ) in human form and the holy spirit is the spirit of God. I hope that makes sense or helps you. God bless 🙏
@@hereweare9096 I literally just told you the power of the holy spirit. They are coequal. (John 17:20-21). “That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us” It is that perfect unity between the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost that binds these three into the oneness of the divine God. The actions of the Son and of the Holy Spirit manifest their equality in power with the Father. The Son and Holy Spirit reveal, sanctify, and save. They perform actions that God alone can accomplish. Their divinity is revealed particularly in this power: the works of God make visible “his eternal power and deity” (Rom 1:20)
That lady sounded very rude. When she asked were you jewish. Oh dear. I am an ex JW and I completely get what you were saying but they cannot acceot anything that is not taught by the Watchtower. You are very knowledgeable and actually have educated me so I thank you. You are correct we were taught that anybody who had lots of questions that we could not answer to walk away and find others who were more likely to listen. Take care
A few years ago, a couple of JW women came to my house. One was clearly an older member and with her was clearly a newer member. So I began to share the true Gospel with them and they stayed for a half hour or more, unable to refute me. A week later, they came back, only this time they brought a man with them who was clearly one of their elder members. Again we spoke for almost an hour. The next week, this same leader returned, but with two different people with him. We discussed at length as I showed them things they were not aware of. This continued each week throughout the summer. Then covid hit, and put an end to their visits. But I did give them much to consider.
@WeatheredJewel Over the past 40 years, I have had many JWs knock on my door...and whether it is them or the Mormons, I always talk with them. In my experience, as I had previously stated, they come in twos and one does 90% of the talking. I've never come right out and asked, but I always assumed that the quieter of the two is the newer convert who is in training. So Weathered...did you become a Christian...or something else?
@@davidryan8547 That's surprising! Is there a Kingdom Hall in your town or region? If so, one would expect to occasionally get a visit from JWs, because they believe that evangelism is a work which aids in their salvation. Though scripture is clear that your works have nothing to do with gaining salvation. As for Mormons...it's been many years since I've seen any of them around. Are you saved?
@@mbgrafix Yeah I know there are a couple of Mormon churches here though i think the closest temple is another state away....as for JW's they have a Hall 5 minutes from my house as it turns out. I just looked it up lol. As for whether or not I am saved. I don't know. While I do not think works get you in and I do think it is about faith, I don't know if my fruit reflects the faith I thought I had.
I used to be a witness and everytime someone opposed our beliefs…we would say the exact same and try to leave. This man showed proof and they still didn’t believe him. I use to be that witness but I have been set free. Jesus is the way
God bless you for what you’re doing!You’re planting those seeds! If Lydia could just step outside the JW literature her eyes would be opened. It happened to me 9 years ago. I did some research on the Trinity and the Truth came flooding in. That following week I disassociated myself as a JW and a formal letter to the Elders at my local Kingdom Hall, as well as the Watchtower headquarters in New York. Now I’m saved by faith not works!
Sneaky guy blurred out the houses, cars.. 😮 but not Jehovah's Witnesses. They follow JESUS, but like Jesus did, they pray, and give all glory to Jehovah. There's 30.000 Christian religions.. JWs are the most peaceful, God loving and respectful people. Jesus saith i have Other Sheeps. So don't be self-righteous. Learn from them, be respectful, praise Jehovah as Jesus did 🙏
He is not being "sneaky",... he is being a good neighbor and respectful of his neighbor's privacy. JW's teach a works based salvation which is a lie. Period. The notion that they are nice people, notwithstanding. The Gospels ARE offensive. Jesus is offensive! BUT Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. You want to be offended and have eternal life or be misled and be lost??? Why did the watchtower purposefully and wilfully CHANGE their translation from the Greek??? Only ONE REASON YOU ADD TO OR TAKE AWAY from God's Word,... and that is to support a false doctrine and retain control of your cult. A simple Google search of the watchtower will render DOZENS of false prophecies,... predictions,... and changed doctrines all from watchtower publications! Offended yet??? And before you decide how "nice" these people are,... keep in mind they are jw "publishers" and they are out there only because they have to try to EARN their way to a 2nd, 3rd, 4th class ticket to "somewhere"!!! Noteworthy how TRUTH can often be "offensive".
Yes but the diamond he is sharing our fake. Not real. A real diligent study of the Bible exposes this. God is not a triplex God. And Jesus always has someone who is God to him. Jehovah is His Name the Most High. (Psalm 83:18)
@@NickHawaii Yes, my friend. I believe it is true what you say, that we should be diligent in our studies! In fact, I think you & I can agree that we continue to learn of His beautiful mysteries throughout the days we are granted here on earth. So many wonderful things to unpack, as He reveals Himself to us through His blessings.. 🤲 I consider it an honor that you would engage with the comment I left and this may be another great moment for me to learn something! Our God has many titles/ names as we study the scriptures, and thankfully He knows our hearts when we speak to Him, no.. With that, I personally don't see the need to get wrapped up in these phrases mankind uses to decipher & formulate our Lord, such as "triplex" as you put it.. These kinds of things only cause division & unnecessary quarreling amongst all of us who are students of God, no? Is not all of His divine nature & characteristics worthy of praise & worship. No matter the means in how He's decided to reach out to us, or teach us.. Acts 1:7,8 Peace be with you my friend!

@@diaskent829 Such insults don’t work on me. I go by what is verifiable in scripture nowhere does it say three persons are one being or God. One is God to the other. Jesus is the Son of the Living God. Not the second person of a trinity. That idea is foreign in scripture.
@@NickHawaii who but God can forgive sin? Can an angel forgive sin? The Jews in Jesus's time became really upset with Him when He told the man that his sins were forgiven. Theg wanted to destroy Him because , in their understanding, only God could forgive sin. They thought Jesus blasphemed. Did He?

Hussein you have mastered the art of retention with good web video production! I'm impressed with how well you can explain the Bible in this type of youtube video
I have been a Christian my whole life. I am in my sixties and I have studied the Bible but not as much as I would like and should have. Watching you has made me to start studying more and I want to be able to understand more and be armored with the word more so I can have an intelligent conversation with others about the Bible. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thank you for making these videos. I grew up a JW and went door to door as well. While doing this I became well versed in scripture. So well versed that I began to see the flaws in the “cult”. Many should be aware that open mindedness is seen as a flaw in the Org and the adoption of new ideas can be seen as a lack of faith which may lead to be Disfellowshipped from the Org or being labeled an Apostate. Either way that means that your friends and family can no longer associate with you. This expulsion leads many to reject all other theological ideas and doctrine that may be true. Their search for the “truth” isn’t an objective Christian truth but one based on particular ideologies to further their own agenda. Their translation of the Bible furthers that agenda as well. This is why many, when presented with facts about scripture run the opposite way or use the line “I have to get back to you.” This is a taught method used to later confirm your own biases. While I did learn a great deal in this cult, I could no longer justify my faith in it. I left behind friends and family but I gained a closer and more honest understanding and relationship with Yahweh(Jehovah) and Christ by doing so. Videos like these helped me find Christ again and renew my faith. Thank you ❤ And to those in the Org reading this, leave now. Christ wants a closer relationship with you and that cult is holding you back. Peace be upon you all.
Sorry you had your feelings hurt and from what you did you were disfellowshipped. That doesn't mean JWS are wrong.. the NWT is considered the best Accurate rendering of the holy Scriptures.
You are a disgruntled ex jw.. you have probably comited a sin and didn't repent or see you did wrong......... The majority that get disfellowshipped hold a grudge on the organization. because the bible clearly states 1 Corinthians 5:11-13 11 But now I am writing you to stop keeping company with anyone called a brother who is sexually immoral or a greedy person or an idolater or a reviler or a drunkard or an extortioner, not even eating with such a man. 12 For what do I have to do with judging those outside? Do you not judge those inside, 13 while God judges those outside?f “Remove the wicked person from among yourselves.”
This is why jws use disfellowship. The person can atill attend meetings but the congregation won't interact.... a person can be accepted back when truthfully repentant. 1 Corinthians 5:11-13 11 But now I am writing you to stop keeping companya with anyone called a brother who is sexually immoral or a greedy personb or an idolater or a reviler or a drunkardc or an extortioner,d not even eating with such a man. 12 For what do I have to do with judging those outside? Do you not judge those inside,e 13 while God judges those outside?f “Remove the wicked person from among yourselves.”g
You’re supporting your false doctrine through scripture. My feelings are not hurt for receiving a closer relationship with Christ. You need to leave that cult as soon as you can. It WILL NOT lead to your salvation. Turn back now.

I admire your concern over these cultists. It's nearly impossible to win them. I know whereof I speak. It took months of patient and prayerful witness from a number of dedicated Christians to lead me out of the cult of mormonism over 40 years ago. JWs are just as hard.
Its very painful,my Husband is in this cult i have been witnessing to Him and teaching Him the deity of Christ he gets soo defensive and dont even bother to do research
The Greek is literally available for everyone on line. Not sure why you think JWs don’t refer to it. You do realise there are Greek Jehovah’s Witnesses right..
@hereweare9096 they as in these 3 in the video here. And just because there are JW that know Greek text doesn't make them anymore credible. Even the demons believe in God and they tremble.
@@hereweare9096 once the Greek reading doesn't line up with witness teaching it is ignored and you are referred to some witness publications or website. That is FACT. Something witnesses cannot deal with. I deliberately do not refer to these people as JW because they ARE NOT JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES
Man, I am so thankful to Jesus that he has shown you the true path! That he has given you everything so you are able to educate people in person and to us whom are watching online! Thank you all might Jesus Christ our Lord and saviour!

Your surrender, humbleness and willingness to be His servant is SO encouraging!!! Thank you!! “God bless this mighty warrior - continue to fight in the heavenlies on his behalf! Repuke and bind satan and destroy all his plots and plans sent against him and his family! Surround them with Your protection and continue to use them, strengthen them and bless them LORD!!

I will put the ones below that I use… and then ask them who they think the 144K are.. But I love the solid path you took them down! Thank you for ALL that- looks like I need to start memorizing more verses and studying the Greek books that are presently collecting dust on my shelves!!!

They can’t handle thinking for themselves, but only follow what is being spoon fed to them. That’s why it’s so important to read and study for yourself. You were so patient, even when they were team gaslighting you. Good job!
@@tobeornottobe50the reason u don't have the God is bc it's referring to two distinct persons. Anyhow u twist it, God was the word can never be n the word was a god.
Please understand this, it is not always about being afraid to learn the the scriptures accurately, it is about the massive mental shift that occurs when you realize you've been lied to and you've wasted years of your life in that mindset. After that, you have to decide if you'll walk away from all that. Because it's a cult, that's not so easy. These people have their entire lives wrapped up in their religion. They risk losing their jobs, kids, spouses, etc I know this because I'm ex-mormon. There are many people who pretend to be Mormon because they cannot risk losing a job or getting a divorce and losing their kids. When I found out all the dirty secrets of the LDS cult, it was a massive betrayal. I didnt sleep for weeks. When I stopped going to church that's when the harassment started. They harassed me, my neighbors, my family. I had to go through therapy to unravel the indoctrination, guilt, and shame. That's how that church makes you feel, like you're never good enough, no matter how much you dedicate yourself to the church. When I left the LDS cult I became atheist. The whole thing left a bad taste in my mouth. On 11/25/23 Jesus Christ spoke to me and he healed me. I'm not the same person anymore. That experience completely changed me. Praise Jesus Christ, the one TRUE god!
@@annastinehammersdottir1290 you have got to be kidding. This guy does not know his Bible he has rehearsed over and over the same scriptures. My sisters have more patience than I would have with the so called “Bible Scholar” 😂 If god is 3x1=1 Please explain each one of these. John 10:36 Jesus Christ said: "I am God's Son." John 14:28, RS: “[Jesus said:] If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because “I go to the Father” ; ((why) for the Father is greater than I.” 1 Cor. 11:3, RS: “I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is her husband, and the “head of Christ is God.” (Clearly, then, Christ is not God, and God is of superior rank to Christ. It should be noted that this was written about 55 C.E., some 22 years after Jesus returned to heaven. 1 Cor. 15:27, 28 RS: “‘God has put all things in subjection under his [Jesus’] feet.’ But when it says, ‘All things are put in subjection under him,’ it is plain that he is excepted who put all things under him. When all things are subjected to him, then “the Son himself will” (what)”also be subjected to him” (by who) “who put all things under him,” that God may be everything to every one.” John 10:17This is why the Father loves me, because I surrender my life, so that I may receive it again. 18 No man takes it away from me, but I surrender it of my own initiative. I have authority to surrender it, and I have authority to receive it again. This commandment I received from (from who) my Father. John 20:31 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. John 15:21“They will do all these things against you on account of my name, because they do not know the One [Jehovah God] that sent me.” John 1:14 So the Word became flesh and resided among us, and we had a view of his glory, a glory such as belongs to an only-begotten sent from a father; Definition: be•get be get | ba'get | verb (begets, begetting; past begot | ba'gat | or archaic begat | ba'gat | ; past participle begotten | ba'gätn | ) [with object] literary 1 (typically of a man, sometimes of a man and a woman) bring (a child)into existence by the process of reproduction: And if John 1:1 explains the trinity where is the holy spirit ? Why is Holy Spirit not mentioned. I’ll tell you why because it is God’s power or active force. (The Most High)power. This is evident by what the angel told Mary at Luke 1:I In answer the angel said to her: “Holy spirit will come upon you, and power of the Most High will overshadow you. And for that reason the one who is born will be called holy, God’s Son.”and at Acts 1:8 it says You will receive power when the holy spirit arrives upon you, and you will be witnesses of me both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the most distant part of the earth.” Clearly this shows that Holy Spirit is not a person but Gods power.
I love this Proverb that describes this interaction perfectly. “The first one to plead his cause seems right, Until his neighbour comes and examines him.” Proverbs 18:17.
Hossein,great job trying to reach those JW's,your reward will be great in heaven,had a friend at work who was a JW,we had many great discussions but he refused to believe, I will say prayer for these people can be a moving force in helping them to have the scales that cover there heart drop away, keep up the great work,im praying for you
The 3 of them together cant answer the one question that answers it all. They clearly felt pressured and wanted to flee. Thank you brother for sharing with them, and teaching us.
For over a year, a Jehova's Witness elder has visited my home every Wednesday. We go over the "lessons" in a Watchtower publication and watch videos that accompany the text. I do not debate, knowing the futility, but allow him to take the role of "teacher". With that, I am able to question the publication as its taught. Many times I point out the contradiction in both the publication, and the NWT. The response is typically the same, "I'll have to look into that." I use old Watchtower publications against the organization which clearly show contradictions, but the response is, "I'll have to look into that." They are indoctrinated into a cult, so they have a cult mindset. Only God can open their hearts. The most that can be done is to plant seeds of doubt in their minds, which, if they reject, will be used against them on the day of judgment. Sad.
@@joytoyouandme4593 That is the only way to approach one who has been indoctrinated into the organization. When they knock on your door, they will arrive as one who believes they have the truth; so, if you immediately encroach upon their error, you will close the door on your opportunity. Put it this way, if you knocked on someone's door, attempting to give them the gospel, and they immediately say, "You are wrong and I am right! You are going to hell with your heresy!" How would you respond? But if they let you in, and showed you, through your own teaching, that there are obvious errors, then you are held accountable.
@@eternalsecurityofthesaints9581 why do Trinitarians no mater what denomination, think that they are always scripturally right? The trinity is a man made lie made up 300 years after Jesus left the earth. Someone prove to me that the holy spirit is a person. No third person makes the trinity a big fat lie.
@@Lettruthbetold Trinity is the doctrinal position that one God is three Persons, which scripture clearly describes. Scripture is not going to use the term Trinity, but scripture will use the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. To make the point in a term people could understand, the term Trinity was coined.

Three against one and they couldn’t stand up to biblical truth. It’s interesting that JWs only want to study and point people to Watchtower books instead of Scripture itself, which seems to take precedence even over the original languages. Unfortunately, for them the Bible is used mostly as a reference to back up their books. I am praying that at least one of them comes back. Great job. Your videos are helping many people.
It looks like there's still hope for Lydia, toward the end she kept the conversation going a bit. I think there's a spark there, where she wants to know for herself. There's so much ingrained groupthink for JW's, especially when together like that, it can be a bit of pack mentality. So it takes some guts for her to be willing to engage at all. Here's hoping she/they come to the light to know the Real Jesus for who He is.
@@hereweare9096 I also believe Jesus when He identified Himself to the Jews: "Before Abraham was I AM" (John 8:58). The translators of the Septuagint (Hebrew to Greek) translated the words of God "I AM" in Exodus 3:14 into the exact same Greek words found in the Greek interlinear for "I AM" in John 8:58. Unfortunately, the New World Translation renders John 8:58 "I have been" instead of "I AM," which is an unfortunate, intentional mistranslation. If they were honest and consistent in their translations they would have rendered Exodus 3:14 "And God said to Moses I HAVE BEEN WHO I HAVE BEEN..."

Thank you Hossein! Former Muslim! I was raised on Evangelical Christianity, but your knowledge of scripture stuns me! I’m both humbled and challenged by your understanding of the Bible. I was just reading the story of the man born blind in John chapter 9. It’s another great passage about Jesus and who He is, and about the gift of faith. Even the blind man’s parents could not believe. If you’re a believer, stay humble! Arrogance is a killer.
I pray for my mother, father and friends who are in this organisation. Their community is closely entwined and I can see it will take the revelation of God himself to free them from these lies. I will use the insights in your vid the next time I am able to speak to them about this. This is a powerful ministry! Thank you.
What group on earth resemble true Christianity closer than the international Christian congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses. I have searched. There isn’t any. If there is please show me. Where are they?
@@NickHawaii You are indeed correct. They do resemble Christianity and they do it exceptionally well. Loving, kind, hospitable, family oriented, zealous and faithful witnesses... I could go on. Unfortunately, resemblance is not the real deal. Resemblance is counterfeit. Resemblance is not truth. I mean no disrespect and have no intention of starting a keyboard war. I love JW's. I wish you the very best ❤.
@@lab9998 Not true. If one resembles God that is a good thing. We don’t do it perfectly but as close as we can. You know what I meant. Anyways, no one has ever shown me anything better. Lots of criticism but nothing that can replace what we have found among Jehovah’s people. But thanks for your comment. Take care!
@@NickHawaii What are you talking about, there are many that are closer to Christianity in their teachings, doctrines & practices. Jws slaves do not even consider themselves Christians because they're indoctrinated to believe that Christ isn't their mediator, but they go about merely as members of a religious cult regurgitating the distorted gospel of Watchtower. They are set to make slaves for Watchtower, not disciples for Jesus Christ. What part of these Jws are preaching Christ & the good news of the gospel to people? That's why Jws don't know Jesus, because 99% of their indoctrination has been about the name "Jehovah" & "Jehovah's organization", the cult tower governed by 8 men who claim that every jw slave should completely trust their words the same way they trust Jesus & the Father. That is heresy!! What part of Christianity in the time of the apostles and the early church, gathered to reject the body of Christ & called it the "Memorial" of Jesus Christ? Are you a Jw? Is Christ your mediator? The Watchtower is a religious cult that presents their distortion of the gospel as a narrative of Watchtower, which more so points people to the organization as a means of being saved. Their distorted bible supports their narrative of God's kingdom that they publish in their literature, all fables and heresies like Jw slaves having to clean up the earth after Armageddon and an unrighteous like a homosexual will return and have any chance to learn the way of Jehovah by way of the witnesses. Watchtower org is closer to a religious cult than a sect of Christianity!!
@NickHawaii Thank you. I hear you, and your point is taken. But this was the point of my original comment... because your community is "closely entwined" (and I have experienced it, and it is lovely), it makes it harder for people to see the real truth, because of all that they will lose. In the video, the scriptures were plain to see, the original greek was plain to see, but they didn't want to see it because they had too much to lose. Similar to those who leave Islam, I imagine. The relationships and friendships are real, I'm not knocking that, but that should not override the pursuit of genuine biblical truth. Tbh I was actually surprised that a Wiitness would even watch these videos because the ones I know are guided by the elders not to watch videos like this. But sincerely, I wish you all the best. Thank you for respectful dialogue ❤️! Editing to add, genuine disciples of Jesus, who love the way Yeshua (Jesus) demonstrated love, are the embodiment of Christianity. I am blessed to be in such a congregation of believers!

Please how can one get Original GreeK manuscript and Hebrew Manuscripts? Is there App or can it be purchased?
YHWH or JHVH. These four-consonant words are commonly called the Tetragrammaton, or Tetragram, derived from two Greek words meaning “four letters.” Now the question of accurate pronunciation arises because early Hebrew writing consisted of consonants with no vowels to guide the reader. So whether the pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton becomes Yahweh or Jehovah depends on which vowels the reader supplies to the four consonants. Today many Hebrew scholars prefer Yahweh as the true pronunciation.
However, consistency favors Jehovah. In what way? The pronunciation Jehovah has been accepted in English for centuries. Those who object to using this pronunciation should also object to the use of the accepted pronunciation Jeremiah and even Jesus. Jeremiah would need to be changed to Yir•meyahʹ or Yir•meyaʹhu, the original Hebrew pronunciations, and Jesus would become Ye•shuʹaʽ (Hebrew) or I•e•sousʹ (Greek). Hence, many Bible students, including Jehovah’s Witnesses, feel that consistency favors the use of the already well-known English-language “Jehovah” and its equivalent in other languages.
Why does the New World Translation use the form “Jehovah”? In English, the four letters of the Tetragrammaton (יהוה) are represented by the consonants YHWH. As was true of all written words in ancient Hebrew, the Tetragrammaton contained no vowels. When ancient Hebrew was in everyday use, readers easily provided the appropriate vowels.
About a thousand years after the Hebrew Scriptures were completed, Jewish scholars developed a system of pronunciation points, or signs, by which to indicate what vowels to use when reading Hebrew. By that time, though, many Jews had the superstitious idea that it was wrong to say God’s personal name out loud, so they used substitute expressions. Thus, it seems that when they copied the Tetragrammaton, they combined the vowels for the substitute expressions with the four consonants representing the divine name. Therefore, the manuscripts with those vowel points do not help in determining how the name was originally pronounced in Hebrew. Some feel that the name was pronounced “Yahweh,” whereas others suggest different possibilities. A Dead Sea Scroll containing a portion of Leviticus in Greek transliterates the divine name Iao. Besides that form, early Greek writers also suggest the pronunciations Iae, I•a•beʹ, and I•a•ou•eʹ. However, there is no reason to be dogmatic. We simply do not know how God’s ancient servants pronounced this name in Hebrew. (Genesis 13:4; Exodus 3:15) What we do know is that God used his name repeatedly in communication with his people, that they addressed him by that name, and that they used it freely in speaking with others.-Exodus 6:2; 1 Kings 8:23; Psalm 99:9.
The first rendering of God’s personal name in an English Bible appeared in 1530 in William Tyndale’s translation of the Pentateuch. He used the form “Iehouah.” Over time, the English language changed, and the spelling of the divine name was modernized. For example, in 1612, Henry Ainsworth used the form “Iehovah” throughout his translation of the book of Psalms. Then, in 1639, when that work was revised and printed with the Pentateuch, the form “Jehovah” was used. In 1901, the translators who produced the American Standard Version of the Bible used the form “Jehovah” where the divine name appeared in the Hebrew text.
Explaining why he used “Jehovah” instead of “Yahweh” in his 1911 work Studies in the Psalms, respected Bible scholar Joseph Bryant Rotherham said that he wanted to employ a “form of the name more familiar (while perfectly acceptable) to the general Bible-reading public.” In 1930 scholar A. F. Kirkpatrick made a similar point regarding the use of the form “Jehovah.” He said: “Modern grammarians argue that it ought to be read Yahveh or Yahaveh; but JEHOVAH seems firmly rooted in the English language, and the really important point is not the exact pronunciation, but the recognition that it is a Proper Name, not merely an appellative title like ‘Lord.’”
When Hossein says "No I'm Christian, I used to be a Muslim" I knew I was watching someone who was truly dedicated to their faith.
Exactly!
Praise Jesus! I am so happy for you brother in Christ.
Yes, it seems God only permitted "Allah" to create the Qu'ran if he included the verses below, so anyone who actually studied the Qu'ran can find the Truth. Many people who claim to be muslim say:
"Bible and Torah were corrupted/changed by men."
Which is in disagreement with their "Allah", who says:
1) "Torah and Bible are the word of God" (Surah 2:41, 3:3, 5:43-48).
2) "Words of God cannot be corrupted(change by men)" (Surah 6:115, 18:27).
3) Jesus says "I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life. No man can come to the Father except through me" (Bible, John 14:6).
4) If you believe the Qu'ran, you must then believe the Bible, which then cancels the Qu'ran.

Who is Juan speaking to? It is the congregation who understood the divinity of Jesus, never as God the Majesty, so they could be spoken in that terminology without understanding that Jesus is God THE MAGESTY, EVEN when Jesus IS ALLOWED to receive GLORY AND HONOR that only belongs to THE MAGESTY AND THAT IT WAS NOT LIKE THIS, much less in the TIMES OF ISAIAS, UNTIL NOW that he gave his life as a sacrifice, and that I cannot be declared as such in the times of Isaiah, since that was not the message of justice that now after the death of Jesus, it would be. Paul understood it very well.
Your first mistake is thinking you can reason with a witness. As an ex witness, it’s like beating your head on a brick wall. I loved how you kept taking them back to the authority, the original Greek. They’re not trained to reason that way. You’re a great teacher.
Usually if I ever bring up I know Greek the conversation stops and an elder will come by and after I tell them my theology degree and the issue with John 1:1 and they stop. Then come back every year and they smile and leave when I still live there.
How is this conversation going. continuing?
The sad thing is there was a time when they were taught to reason that way. I think it all started going downhill after Nathan H Norr. After him, the number of people that possessed that skill, just dwindled and dwindled. I think Franz was probably the last one who is a true master at it. The man was a genius. He was multilingual and counted Koine Greek among the languages he spoke. Anyway, Russell absolutely had nothing against debating people on biblical points. He frequently debated people using a Greek version called the Emphatic Diaglot which was an interlinear that was used before the Kingdom Interlinear was used. These days, they are discouraged from getting any sort of high-level education whatsoever, and positively forbidden from debating with anybody. Very few truly and deeply understand the points that they’re making with people as opposed to just repeating Word for Word what they are getting out of some of those publications. They only know the beaten path. They never stray from it.
@@MarcTelesha oh, oh, they would avoid you like the plague! 😆 I distinctly remember sitting in the audience about a decade ago during one of the meetings when the watchtower article for the week was being considered wherein they absolutely told us not to go digging in the Greek to try to second-guess the New World translation. We were told that even if we thought we understood it better, we didn’t. As a polyglot with several languages under my belt, and being fully acquainted with how easily things can be mistranslated when taken from one language to another, I remember being outraged by that stance. Anyway,you being trained and actually educated in the language would be far too much for them to handle.
Trust me, i was ignorant myself it took 8 yrs for my friend to invite me to church and i'm glad i did. It was hard for me to shed the old teachings, but truthfully everything i'm learning now about the word makes so much sense.
JWs like to think they are so spiritual but then reason in such a human way. They cannot abstract.
Hussein is an admitted former Muslim who converted to Christianity and he has better knowledge of scripture than most other Christians. He is someone the rest of the Christian community should model themselves after. Keep the faith, brother!

Because most Christians aren't real Christians. They worship Me with their mouths but their hearts are far from Me.

I love the fact that you can control your tone, your emotion and your entire being when speaking to them. You do not get frustrated (or at least show frustration), you do not show angst or animosity. You are at perfect peace the whole time. It's incredible and so inspiring. Most people get angry in the conversations and they end up getting heated quite quickly. I can tell that God's Holy Spirit is strongly resting upon you.
Yes I agree. I would struggle to not get more expressive
Agree. Might be because he's a man of God. Hallelujah! 🙌🏽🙏🏼
Hussein is so patient and kind. I thought I would come here only to view a snippet of the video. Turns out, I finished watching part 1 and 2 altogether. Even more amazing, I picked up my bible and went to each scripture Hussein mentioned to examine, take notes, and feed my soul. It was truly helpful and a blessing. Thank you!!!
Being concerned for your neighbors receiving the deception is a great way to look at it!
Same here. Hussein is awesome in his knowledge of the scripture. I now know how to get rid of JW. They come at my door all the time 😂😂
I did the same thing
I picked up my bible too,its been a great evening for me this was my bible study,glory to GOD
I was born and raised as one of Jehovah's witnesses. But Jesus Christ revealed himself to me. That He is LORD and GOD. And it is my prayer that they may receive that same revelation by the SPIRIT of GOD.
I rejoice for you as the angles in Heaven are that you have come to know Jesus. Im 51 and was born into jdub but i always knew it was wrong and a cult. My parents divorced when i was 7 and i fought against it until i was 16. I accepted Jesus as my savior and into my life in 2020 because i lost a cat that i dearly loved so much. He created my little Feral calico mix breed mutt Caley that i didnt know had FELV and im thankfull i had her for a little while. Let me assure you pets will be heaven cuz first time i felt the Holy Spirit was in prayer ( warm fuzzy imense love feeling with a small inner bright light that just expands and you just freeze up cuz its to intense and you cant handle him in full). Felt him 8 times so far. I read every book in the bible except psalms. Im only about half way through but ive read the other 65 books multiple times and ive had the pages jump out at me. Ive had multiple visions of Jesus and other things ( the Throne room was pretty cool ). And yes he has even talked ti me through scriptures but the really cool thing is when he answers questions through scripture or i ask a question one day and wake up the next with certain song lyrics fresh in my mind that answers the question. No its NOT Demons trying to mess with me because i question the spirits as we are told to do. Anyway so glad you got out of jws.
Why don't you use that verse? Where Jesus reveals Himself to saul... to the "witnesses"
ME TOO 2019
Amen. I too, was raised as a Jehovah witness but it always conflicted my spirit. After my husband (a Jehovah’s Witness) passed this this August, I decided to go into a fast for 10 days. During that fast I picked up the KJV and it revealed to me that Jesus is Lord and God. I am so thankful to him for revealing to me what I did not know for the entire 30 years of my life. I wish I could have shared this with my husband before his passing. He was disfellowshipped and suffered from depression from being shunned by everyone he knew, including his family. They didn’t even want to attend his funeral and talked me into cremating him for that reason. I Thank Jesus for saving my life from this religion.
Beautiful. Jesus is GOD Amen!!

I sat next to a Jehovah's Witness on the plane yesterday, and he noticed the Bible I was reading. He brought up the New World Translation, which was new to me. We had a conversation about the Bible, and he tried to persuade me to consider the Jehovah's Witness doctrine. I saw it as an opportunity to share my faith, which had been my prayer (open doors of opportunity to being people to Jesus) Although I was grateful for the chance, I felt a bit uncomfortable/lost as to what to say. Today, I came across this helpful video that discussed Greek comparisons in the Bible, which I found beneficial. I'm unsure how it appeared in my feed, but I'm glad it did. The speaker was very skilled at delving into the Bible in detail, something I may not be able to do, but it was certainly insightful. Thank you.
In the old testament, you see the word being given a personality. Example in Genesis where the scripture says the word was walking in the garden. You may ask how can a word walk?
Genesis 3:8 KJV
And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.
It goes to show that the word from the beginning is a person. In the book of John 1, he wrote, and the word became man and lived among us. That mean the word of God put on flesh and dwelt with mankind for a while.
A person is what he says and what he does. The same way God is what he says abd what ge does. God's word is God Himself. You cannot separate God from his word. Thats is why Jesus being the word putting on flesh is God himself.
People may argue but the reason why Jesus kept referring to His Father is because his Father was in his fullness and Jesus being the word was only on an assignment to save the world. He had only one purpose where as all purposes was in God. Therefore you hear him say my father is greater than I.

Unfortunately you have been deceived by this page just because a person claims to know greek doesn’t mean they are being honest you do realise you all read from a bible that Omits Gods true Name. How can you claim enlightenment when your bible doesn’t contain the most MENTIONED NAME in the BIBLE JEHOVAH.
@RubenLheureux Do you realize that the watch tower has replaced the name of God with Jehova? YHWH...pronounced Yahweh is the closest to the Hebrew name of God that we have because God's ame was considered so sacred they would not even write it in its entirety and used to leave a letter out. Also you don't need to know Greek we live in amazing times which means you will be without excuse on judgment day. Anyone can take the original language Greek and translate it. The Bible in keeping with that translates Yahew to LORD in all capitals. Go check it out every time you se LORD in all caps it means Yahweh...nothing has been ommited and you have been lied to by the watch tower.
@@RubenLheureux Firstly, one doesn’t necessarily have to listen to someone who claims to know Greek when the internet is free. You can do your own research on the on both the Hebrew and Greek manuscripts of the Bible and see the truth.
Secondly, the most highest name of God is Yahweh, YHWH which is held at such a high standard that it was spelt short and used other names of God in respect for Him. One of the other names used was Adonai, which means My Lord. The letter J isn’t in the original text of the Bible. And the name Jehovah (Latin origins) was brought later as time progressed. Jehovah became a cross over between YHWH and the vowels from Adonai therefore before YaHoWaH. Later as the Latin language emerged becoming Jehovah. It is a beautiful name of God however, it is not the highest because its origin.
You know what I love? I love it when a Muslim converts to Christianity and is way more informed and zealous for THE WORD OF GOD. You remind me of Nabeel Quereshi He was a devout Muslim.

As a native Greek from Greece, I can fully confirm that your teaching and interpretation of John 1:1 is accurate and Orthodox about the Greek text .
And the Greek text is crystal clear.
Just because you confirm the Greek is accurate does not mean the 'interpretation' of a part of something is accurate. Interpretations don't necessarily mean getting the sense of the meaning of something. Personal perceptions and desire to control outcomes is what stylize interpretations serve. When people get the same accurate understanding of a particular thought, then they all end up on the same page and in agreement to collaborate. Jesus was all about agreement and collaboration. Which cannot happen when everyone is interpreting their own way. Just look at the world's politics and religions...divisive because of language and personal interpretations.
@@cugrngneer the text is clear and accurate. There’s only one possible interpretation of the passage.
The text says that the Word was God. Not a God.
The whole point of the passage is to say that the Word is YHWH.

We are in luck, because the following verses explain the mystery.
@@nikostheater "We are in luck, because the following verses explain the mystery." Where are they?
Do you mean "the text is clear and accurate" according to Your own understanding of ancient Greek, which King James's English translators translated from? Your understanding of Greek doesn't mean that the essence and understanding is being translated to the reader from ancient Hebrew to ancient Greek to middle ages English with accuracy or with collective agreement. Jesus promoted agreement among his followers regarding the Scriptures' message about him.
The Father/Son relationship is a fundamental relationship humans are able to conceptualize and associate with. "Let US make man in OUR image..." (Gen 1:26) In verse 27 it says, " And God went on to create the man in his image..." Father gets all the credit and glory, but son works side by side in the work reaping his own reward. Connections we can experience. We don't naturally conceptualize that we are made up of multiple people with separate free wills along with 3 way hierarchy occupying the same body including a spirit entity sidekick. Evidently, because we are not created in the image of anyone defined as a trinity. We are all given the dignity of individuality, personality and will...Like Jehovah and Jesus see themselves. People use John 1:1 as if the rest of the Bible is irrelevant without realizing they are doing it. Do you know this scripture? (2 Tim 3:15-17)
@@nikostheaterthe definite article depends on context just as in 2 cor 4:4 theos doesn't mean Almighty God but the god of this world john 1:1 is a god a mighty one

Εν αρχή ήν ο Λόγος και ο Λόγος ήν προς τον Θεόν και Θεός ήν ο Λόγος.
The verse literally is saying that the Word “Λόγος « is pre-existing, that the Word was with God and that the Word was God.
The verse equates the Word with YHWH.
It clarifies it further, because the Word is a creator of Creation along with God , to the point that EVERYTHING that was created, was created with the Word.
So the Word is pre-existing and also a Creator.

@@Maria__57 no one is denying the Christ is God’s son. John 10:36 Jesus Christ said: "I am God's Son." What we do not believe, especially since it was not a teaching of Jesus is the Trinity. It is a teaching that came about 300 years after Jesus died. The following scriptures show that Jesus is not God.
John 14:28, RS: “[Jesus said:] If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I go to the Father; for the Father is greater than I.”
1 Cor. 11:3, RS: “I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.”
Holy Spirit is Gods (The Most High)power. This is evident by what the angel told Mary at Luke 1:I n answer the angel said to her: “Holy spirit will come upon you, and power of the Most High will overshadow you. And for that reason the one who is born will be called holy,l God’s Son.”and at Acts 1:8 it says You will receive power when the holy spirit arrives upon you, and you will be witnesses of me both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the most distant part of the earth.”
Clearly this shows that Holy Spirit is not a person but Gods power.

one thing i like about this guy Hossain he always display respect, humility and patience in his conversations...

And they have to be right all of the time and always judge and say Christian’s are wrong. See how Lydia hesitated to even chat with him until he asked for further discussion. She said she would research it. She probably talked with an elder and he told her not to revisit this man’s house. And all they came back with was Big “G”, little “g”. They are not versed or understand scripture-I wasn’t either when I was JW. It’s sad. The indoctrination is crazy-it is false teachings.

The diety of Christ is the cornerstone of Christianity, as supported by scripture.
My twin sister has been a JW for 60 years, me...a born again Christian for 51 years. She is very stubborn and pretty self righteous. Honestly, I believe that Jehovah's Witnesses are Old Testament. They have to believe that it's works that saves you. I have never been able to even reason with her. I do think that they can only be reached by personal revelation.
@margoblay4915 they're teaching from a corrupt script Ephesians 4:20-23 The truth is in Jesus Christ . Colossians 1:16-18 All things created by Jesus Christ
Colossians 1:16-18
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
In Jesus Christ dwells the fullness of the Godhead Colossians 2:9
8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

Jehovah Witness are more then allowed to question and ask and doubt you wont be kicked out if you doubt or question actually they support that because you should look for answers.. the reason Jehovah Witness dont really go deep into discussions is because they have only one task and that is to talk to the people about God because God wants us to preach his word and before his word reached the entire earth the end wont come.. they speak to people because they care and because God wants them to but when your not interested or you believe something else they respectfully back down. Its not a Jehovah Witness job to convince you if God wants to touch a heart God will do so..

The reason we use the NWT is that it is a translation that has not REMOVED Gods name from His own Holy Word.

The Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society is selling you a bill of goods. With a bit of time and study, you can find that for yourself.

John 1:1,2; 1 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God.”
Is Jesus Christ God or the word of God? John 14:10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.
So Jesus said the words that He speak it’s not His words, but God’s words. Let’s see what God says in the Scriptures below:
Deuteronomy 18:18 I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brethren, and will put My words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him.
Isaiah 42:1 “Behold! My Servant whom I uphold, My Elect One in whom My soul delights! I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.
Matthew 3:17 And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
Now with the above Bible scriptures in mind let’s read, John 1:1 In the beginning was …… Jesus Christ…….the Word, and …… Jesus Christ…..the Word was with God, and the Word …… Jesus Christ spoke ……was God. 2 He…… Jesus Christ….. was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him…… Jesus Christ….., and without Him …… Jesus Christ…..nothing was made that was made. In Him ….. Jesus Christ,…. was life, and the life was the light of men.……. John 1:14 And the Word….. Jesus Christ…… became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 17:5
And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.

"..., and the Word was a god."
Why the NWT put "a" article before god in John 1:1c when Koine Greek did not use such before "theos"/god?
First of, Koine Greek has not yet recognized articles such as "a" and "an" in its dialect. But the Coptic Greek in the 3rd century standardized the indefinite article, which is the first translated language by Greek-speaking Christians in Egypt, who were the direct descendants following Jesus's earthly ministry.
It's a crucial period because the Coptic Greek had not yet been adulterated by the pagan Trinity of the 4th century, with the Nicene Creed endorsed personally by the Roman Emperor.

Hossein - thank you for part 2. This was a master-class in patience as you clearly pointed out the truth from scripture and they could not see. The seed has been planted. Well done.
Keep at it i argued with my wife for years thank you Jesus that she is born again!! Hallelujah
Proud of you brother Hossein👍🥇 Casting them (deception) out your neighborhood...IS loving thy neighbor ❤
You are correct, they are taught to break contact and move on, they will mark that you are "uninterested" and will not return if they don't think there is progress to be made. They attend a weekly meeting where they are taught a strict strategy to address these common debates.
As an exJW, yes we are trained to not look into any other beliefs other than the JWs. So no matter how much you try to explain they won’t listen.
See that makes no sense. If God needed a better newer book to learn from HE would not use anyone that could not read the original language the Bible was written in. The Dead Sea Scrolls are reinforcement for the Bible. It's sad that Satan has captured the minds and souls of the JW.
Ok. By God' grace
I hope you're a Christian now
How did you become a Christian?
I have neighbors who are JW. What’s the best way to witness to them?
Bless you Brother Hussain for sharing and explaining right word of God,my middle name is also Hussain I am previous Muslim now in YASHUA Name.From India my family are muslim please pray for them,to know that our salvation is only in jesus Amen
God bless you brother
Rev. 5 chapter tells you the Father and the Son.
I pray for your family, that Jesus Himself opens their eyes to see the truth of Christ. May He open their hearts and minds to the Truth, and may they come to accept Jesus, God in the flesh who died for their sins and rose again, as their Savior!
Amen!

"..., and the Word was a god."
Why the NWT put "a" article before god in John 1:1c when Koine Greek did not use such before "theos"/god?
First of, Koine Greek has not yet recognized articles such as "a" and "an" in its dialect. But the Coptic Greek in the 3rd century standardized the indefinite article, which is the first translated language by Greek-speaking Christians in Egypt, who were the direct descendants following Jesus's earthly ministry.
It's a crucial period because the Coptic Greek had not yet been adulterated by the pagan Trinity of the 4th century, with the Nicene Creed endorsed personally by the Roman Emperor.
Also, the usage of article "a" in John 1:1c, suffices John 1:1b wherein "theon"/God was written in accusative case w/c required the translators to put "with" before God.
In fact, God is discerning to have instructed John to write John 1:2, "This one was in the beginning with God." to break the confusion for those who have faith in truth.

I’m a Christian, wow!!! thank you Hussein for educating me. Yes we should be diligent to know and defend our faith!
I’ve been praying for my older brother for over 30 years and we finally had a discussion and even though he is an elder and goes door to door every week he has no answers for any of the scriptures quoted on this video that prove Jesus Christ is God, I will continue to pray and ask Our Lord to remove the false indoctrination and save his soul
Jesus was crucified because He said to the Scribes that ''I AM'' (YHWH), and they said that Jesus had committed blasphemy by calling Himself God, and now they had a reason to kill Him!
As being raised as Jehovah Witnesses it’s sad seeing how stuck in mentality the people who follow it are. They read misguided, misinformed, and misleading text that can make someone who doesn’t know better blindly follow. I am glad that once I graduated high school and left the house I started doing my own research and started to think for myself. They are usually the most respectful people but it’s the mindset that will close their ears off to the true word. I will pray for them in Jesus’s name 🙏🏾
Meaning no offence, I often ask how many people are muslims because they are afraid not to be. I see similar with the JW's.
Bible translator William Barclay writes:
“Now normally, except for special reasons, Greek nouns always have the definite article in front of them, . . . When a Greek noun has not got the article in front of it, it becomes rather a description than an identification, and has the character of an adjective rather than of a noun. We can see exactly the same in English. If I say: ‘James is the man’, then I identify James with some definite man whom I have in mind; but, if I say: ‘James is man’, then I am simply describing James as human, and the word man has become a description and not an identification. If John had said ho theos ēn ho logos, using a definite article in front of both nouns, then he would definitely have identified the logos [the Word] with God, but because he has no definite article in front of theos it becomes a description, and more of an adjective than a noun. The translation then becomes, to put it rather clumsily, ‘The Word was in the same class as God, belonged to the same order of being as God ‘. . . . John is not here identifying the Word with God. To put it very simply, he does not say that Jesus was God.”-Many Witnesses, One Lord (1963), pages 23, 24.
@@vivofilms William Barclay was brilliant and was incensed that he was misquoted by the watch tower.
He demanded a full on apology from the watch tower which was never given to him. In other words the watch tower does what it does best flat out lies to their people. In the end God(Jesus) will judge them at the white throne. Revelation 21:8 all the liars will have their part in the lake of fire and brimstone.

Interesting, did you manage to actually read the ENTIRE citation, of course you didnt JWs dont do research, they let 9 men in a forest do it for them.
you put up there verbatim as per Watchtower....lets now finish it.
sentences in brackets are what you left out as did the cult.
[In a matter like this, we cannot do other than to go to the Greek, which is theos en ho logos. Theos is the Greek word for God, en for was, ho for the, logos for word. Now normally, except for special reasons, Greek nouns always have the definite article in front of them, *and we can see at once here that theos the noun for God has not got the definite article in front of it*.]
When a Greek noun has not got the article in front of it, it becomes rather a description than an identification, and has the character of an adjective than of a noun. We can see exactly the same in English. If I say, "James is the man," then I identify James with some definite man whom I have in mind; but if I say: "James is man", then I am simply describing James as human, and the word man has become a description and not an identification. If John had said ho theos en ho logos, using a definite article in front of both nouns, then he would have definitely identified the Logos with God, but because he has no definite article in front of theos it becomes a description, and more of an adjective than a noun. The translation then becomes, to put it rather clumsily, "The Word was in the same class as God, belonging to the same order of being as God."
[The only modern translator who fairly and squarely faced this problem is Kenneth Wuest, who has: "The Word was as to his essence essential deity." But it is here that the NEB has brilliantly solved the problem with the absolutely accurate rendering: "What God was the Word was]." John is not here identifying the Word with God. To put it very simply, he does not say that Jesus was God'"
['"God himself took this human flesh upon him." (William Barclay; Many Witnesses, One Lord, p27) ]
BARCLAY WAS REFUTING MODALISM - NOT TRINITARISM!!!!!
How deceitful of you. Just like WATCHTOWER.
When Barclay says in his book, Many Witnesses, One Lord: "John is not here identifying the Word with God. To put it very simply, he does not say that Jesus was God", Barclay is refuting Modalism. Modalism states that the Father and the Son are the same person. Barclay is saying, with our brackets added for emphasis, "John is not here identifying the Word with God [the person of the Father]. To put it very simply, he does not say that Jesus was God [the person of the Father]". Jehovah's Witnesses deliberately confuse their readers by misinterpreting anti-Modalist comments. Such is the "deception of wickedness".
When Barclay says in his book, Many Witnesses, One Lord: "The Word was in the same class as God, belonging to the same order of being as God." It is obvious that Barclay is viewing that Jesus is just as much VERY God as the Father.
In Barclay's letter to Shoemaker, he says, "that he is of the same stuff as God, that is of the same being as God" which is echoing the Athanasian creed
@@vivofilms
Letter written by William Barclay to Donald Shoemaker of Biola College after Shoemaker informed Barclay how the Watchtower had misquoted him:
Dear Professor Donald Shoemaker,
Thank you for your letter of August 11th. The Watchtower article has, by judicious cutting, made me say the opposite of what I meant to say. What I was meaning to say, as you well know, is that Jesus is not the same as God, to put it more crudely, that he is of the same stuff as God, that is of the same being as God, but the way the Watchtower has printed my stuff has simply left the conclusion that Jesus is not God in a way that suits themselves.
If they missed from their answer the translation of Kenneth Wuest and the N.E.B., they missed the whole point.
It was good of you to write and I don't think I need say anything more to make my position clear.
With every good wish.
Yours Sincerely
William Barclay.

Im a child in my faith. Recently born again. But you were so patient and so respectful and in an honest quest for truth here and you can sense the frustration and unwillingness to listen and talk to you from these people…so for me , the fruit of the spirit is with you.
Incredibly frustrating to watch, but man I’m encouraged by how the spirit is moving through you. Makes me wanna go get in the word! Thank you brother, God bless you!
These are seeds, brother. Thank you Lord for continuing to provide the increase 🙏🏽 🎉
My goodness my brother you have the patience of a saint! I can't believe you were Muslim and now have found your way to Jesus! Praise God for you, you show so much love trying everything you can to make them see! You are certainly about His work on earth, and I'm proud to call you my brother! I wish I could read the Greek for myself. I have to go back and forth to translate all the time. It's so very sad to see them arguing with you, all the JW's need prayer 🙏 from us so they don't ever have to hear those dreadful words (I never knew you)! I pray the Holy Ghost hits them like a train and they join the family ❤️🔥 God Bless you and yours
Amen sister!
Holy Ghost? What do you believe that to be?
@@hereweare9096 the holy Ghost/spirit is part of the Trinity. The father, the son and the holy spirit. The holy Ghost was released after Jesus Christ's resurrection. So God released the spirit to help us know who God is and how to follow him. The holy spirit will speak to us through our minds with a thought or an idea or to lead us by making an impression in our hearts to do something or say something or even think something that is according to God's will.
For example, if you're having a debate or see something happening and you get a strong urge or feeling to say something according to God (stand up for him, defend him etc) that feeling you're feeling is the holy spirit doing work.
I believe the Trinity is all God. The father is God, the son is God (Jesus Christ) in human form and the holy spirit is the spirit of God.
I hope that makes sense or helps you.
God bless 🙏
@@MrsYarranSo the Holy Spirit has no control yet the Father does…??
Trinity teaches that they are supposedly coequal.
@@hereweare9096 I literally just told you the power of the holy spirit. They are coequal.
(John 17:20-21).
“That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us”
It is that perfect unity between the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost that binds these three into the oneness of the divine God. The actions of the Son and of the Holy Spirit manifest their equality in power with the Father. The Son and Holy Spirit reveal, sanctify, and save. They perform actions that God alone can accomplish. Their divinity is revealed particularly in this power: the works of God make visible “his eternal power and deity” (Rom 1:20)
This guy’s patience with these three blind JW is incredible! May God Almighty open their eyes to the truth.
That lady sounded very rude. When she asked were you jewish. Oh dear.
I am an ex JW and I completely get what you were saying but they cannot acceot anything that is not taught by the Watchtower.
You are very knowledgeable and actually have educated me so I thank you. You are correct we were taught that anybody who had lots of questions that we could not answer to walk away and find others who were more likely to listen.
Take care

A few years ago, a couple of JW women came to my house. One was clearly an older member and with her was clearly a newer member. So I began to share the true Gospel with them and they stayed for a half hour or more, unable to refute me. A week later, they came back, only this time they brought a man with them who was clearly one of their elder members. Again we spoke for almost an hour. The next week, this same leader returned, but with two different people with him. We discussed at length as I showed them things they were not aware of. This continued each week throughout the summer. Then covid hit, and put an end to their visits. But I did give them much to consider.
Ex-JW here. Bringing a man or an elder is common. They always need to bring a group of people with them instead of discussing 1:1
@WeatheredJewel
Over the past 40 years, I have had many JWs knock on my door...and whether it is them or the Mormons, I always talk with them. In my experience, as I had previously stated, they come in twos and one does 90% of the talking. I've never come right out and asked, but I always assumed that the quieter of the two is the newer convert who is in training.
So Weathered...did you become a Christian...or something else?

@@davidryan8547
That's surprising! Is there a Kingdom Hall in your town or region? If so, one would expect to occasionally get a visit from JWs, because they believe that evangelism is a work which aids in their salvation. Though scripture is clear that your works have nothing to do with gaining salvation.
As for Mormons...it's been many years since I've seen any of them around.
Are you saved?
@@mbgrafix Yeah I know there are a couple of Mormon churches here though i think the closest temple is another state away....as for JW's they have a Hall 5 minutes from my house as it turns out. I just looked it up lol.
As for whether or not I am saved. I don't know. While I do not think works get you in and I do think it is about faith, I don't know if my fruit reflects the faith I thought I had.
I like how you are optimistic, keep pushing brother
I used to be a witness and everytime someone opposed our beliefs…we would say the exact same and try to leave. This man showed proof and they still didn’t believe him. I use to be that witness but I have been set free. Jesus is the way
How did u become a JW? And why?
God bless you for what you’re doing!You’re planting those seeds! If Lydia could just step outside the JW literature her eyes would be opened. It happened to me 9 years ago. I did some research on the Trinity and the Truth came flooding in. That following week I disassociated myself as a JW and a formal letter to the Elders at my local Kingdom Hall, as well as the Watchtower headquarters in New York. Now I’m saved by faith not works!
Sneaky guy blurred out the houses, cars.. 😮 but not Jehovah's Witnesses. They follow JESUS, but like Jesus did, they pray, and give all glory to Jehovah. There's 30.000 Christian religions.. JWs are the most peaceful, God loving and respectful people. Jesus saith i have Other Sheeps. So don't be self-righteous. Learn from them, be respectful, praise Jehovah as Jesus did 🙏
He is not being "sneaky",... he is being a good neighbor and respectful of his neighbor's privacy.
JW's teach a works based salvation which is a lie. Period. The notion that they are nice people, notwithstanding.
The Gospels ARE offensive. Jesus is offensive! BUT Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.
You want to be offended and have eternal life or be misled and be lost???
Why did the watchtower purposefully and wilfully CHANGE their translation from the Greek??? Only ONE REASON YOU ADD TO OR TAKE AWAY from God's Word,... and that is to support a false doctrine and retain control of your cult.
A simple Google search of the watchtower will render DOZENS of false prophecies,... predictions,... and changed doctrines all from watchtower publications!
Offended yet???
And before you decide how "nice" these people are,... keep in mind they are jw "publishers" and they are out there only because they have to try to EARN their way to a 2nd, 3rd, 4th class ticket to "somewhere"!!!

Excellent observation. the Book of James teaches we are to be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to anger.
Man, you are patient and kind. You know your Bible and treat these people so kindly. I admire your approach and love for these people. Well done!
I have been a Christian my whole life. I am in my sixties and I have studied the Bible but not as much as I would like and should have. Watching you has made me to start studying more and I want to be able to understand more and be armored with the word more so I can have an intelligent conversation with others about the Bible. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thank you for making these videos. I grew up a JW and went door to door as well. While doing this I became well versed in scripture. So well versed that I began to see the flaws in the “cult”. Many should be aware that open mindedness is seen as a flaw in the Org and the adoption of new ideas can be seen as a lack of faith which may lead to be Disfellowshipped from the Org or being labeled an Apostate. Either way that means that your friends and family can no longer associate with you. This expulsion leads many to reject all other theological ideas and doctrine that may be true. Their search for the “truth” isn’t an objective Christian truth but one based on particular ideologies to further their own agenda. Their translation of the Bible furthers that agenda as well. This is why many, when presented with facts about scripture run the opposite way or use the line “I have to get back to you.” This is a taught method used to later confirm your own biases. While I did learn a great deal in this cult, I could no longer justify my faith in it. I left behind friends and family but I gained a closer and more honest understanding and relationship with Yahweh(Jehovah) and Christ by doing so. Videos like these helped me find Christ again and renew my faith. Thank you ❤
And to those in the Org reading this, leave now. Christ wants a closer relationship with you and that cult is holding you back. Peace be upon you all.
Sorry you had your feelings hurt and from what you did you were disfellowshipped. That doesn't mean JWS are wrong.. the NWT is considered the best Accurate rendering of the holy Scriptures.
You are a disgruntled ex jw.. you have probably comited a sin and didn't repent or see you did wrong.........
The majority that get disfellowshipped hold a grudge on the organization. because the bible clearly states
1 Corinthians 5:11-13
11 But now I am writing you to stop keeping company with anyone called a brother who is sexually immoral or a greedy person or an idolater or a reviler or a drunkard or an extortioner, not even eating with such a man. 12 For what do I have to do with judging those outside? Do you not judge those inside, 13 while God judges those outside?f “Remove the wicked person from among yourselves.”
This is why jws use disfellowship. The person can atill attend meetings but the congregation won't interact.... a person can be accepted back when truthfully repentant.

Amen.
Such loving,respectful and compassionate way to present the Gospel of salvation
I admire your concern over these cultists. It's nearly impossible to win them. I know whereof I speak. It took months of patient and prayerful witness from a number of dedicated Christians to lead me out of the cult of mormonism over 40 years ago. JWs are just as hard.
You did great bro Hussien. May our good God continue to impact, protect and enriched abundantly in Jesus Mighty name, Amen

It is heartbreaking; they are locked in chains of deception.
They refuse to think for themselves; they won't even acknowledge the original Greek texts. Pray for them.
The Greek is literally available for everyone on line. Not sure why you think JWs don’t refer to it. You do realise there are Greek Jehovah’s Witnesses right..

First of, Koine Greek has not yet recognized articles such as "a" and "an" in its dialect. But the Coptic Greek in the 3rd century standardized the indefinite article, which is the first translated language by Greek-speaking Christians in Egypt, who were the direct descendants following Jesus's earthly ministry.

Unfortunately, they are not allowed to think for themselves. They MUST follow the watch tower teachings.

They can’t handle thinking for themselves, but only follow what is being spoon fed to them. That’s why it’s so important to read and study for yourself. You were so patient, even when they were team gaslighting you. Good job!
@@tobeornottobe50the reason u don't have the God is bc it's referring to two distinct persons. Anyhow u twist it, God was the word can never be n the word was a god.
They can't handle the truth and may avoid this Bible scholar in the future.
Correct. They are not educated they are indoctrinated by watchtower.😢😢
Please understand this, it is not always about being afraid to learn the the scriptures accurately, it is about the massive mental shift that occurs when you realize you've been lied to and you've wasted years of your life in that mindset.
After that, you have to decide if you'll walk away from all that. Because it's a cult, that's not so easy.
These people have their entire lives wrapped up in their religion. They risk losing their jobs, kids, spouses, etc
I know this because I'm ex-mormon. There are many people who pretend to be Mormon because they cannot risk losing a job or getting a divorce and losing their kids.
When I found out all the dirty secrets of the LDS cult, it was a massive betrayal. I didnt sleep for weeks.
When I stopped going to church that's when the harassment started. They harassed me, my neighbors, my family.
I had to go through therapy to unravel the indoctrination, guilt, and shame. That's how that church makes you feel, like you're never good enough, no matter how much you dedicate yourself to the church.
When I left the LDS cult I became atheist. The whole thing left a bad taste in my mouth.
On 11/25/23 Jesus Christ spoke to me and he healed me. I'm not the same person anymore. That experience completely changed me. Praise Jesus Christ, the one TRUE god!
@@annastinehammersdottir1290 you have got to be kidding. This guy does not know his Bible he has rehearsed over and over the same scriptures. My sisters have more patience than I would have with the so called “Bible Scholar” 😂 If god is 3x1=1 Please explain each one of these. John 10:36 Jesus Christ said: "I am God's Son."
John 14:28, RS: “[Jesus said:] If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because “I go to the Father” ; ((why) for the Father is greater than I.”
1 Cor. 11:3, RS: “I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is her husband, and the “head of Christ is God.” (Clearly, then, Christ is not God, and God is of superior rank to Christ. It should be noted that this was written about 55 C.E., some 22 years after Jesus returned to heaven.
1 Cor. 15:27, 28 RS: “‘God has put all things in subjection under his [Jesus’] feet.’ But when it says, ‘All things are put in subjection under him,’ it is plain that he is excepted who put all things under him. When all things are subjected to him, then “the Son himself will” (what)”also be subjected to him” (by who) “who put all things under him,” that God may be everything to every one.”
John 10:17This is why the Father loves me, because I surrender my life, so that I may receive it again. 18 No man takes it away from me, but I surrender it of my own initiative. I have authority to surrender it, and I have authority to receive it again. This commandment I received from (from who) my Father.
John 20:31
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.
John 15:21“They will do all these things against you on account of my name, because they do not know the One [Jehovah God] that sent me.”
John 1:14 So the Word became flesh and resided among us, and we had a view of his glory, a glory such as belongs to an only-begotten sent from a father;
Definition: be•get be get | ba'get |
verb (begets, begetting; past begot | ba'gat | or archaic begat | ba'gat | ; past participle begotten | ba'gätn | ) [with object] literary 1 (typically of a man, sometimes of a man and a woman) bring (a child)into existence by the process of reproduction:
And if John 1:1 explains the trinity where is the holy spirit ? Why is Holy Spirit not mentioned. I’ll tell you why because it is God’s power or active force. (The Most High)power. This is evident by what the angel told Mary at Luke 1:I In answer the angel said to her: “Holy spirit will come upon you, and power of the Most High will overshadow you. And for that reason the one who is born will be called holy, God’s Son.”and at Acts 1:8 it says You will receive power when the holy spirit arrives upon you, and you will be witnesses of me both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the most distant part of the earth.”
Clearly this shows that Holy Spirit is not a person but Gods power.
I love this Proverb that describes this interaction perfectly. “The first one to plead his cause seems right, Until his neighbour comes and examines him.” Proverbs 18:17.
Hossein,great job trying to reach those JW's,your reward will be great in heaven,had a friend at work who was a JW,we had many great discussions but he refused to believe, I will say prayer for these people can be a moving force in helping them to have the scales that cover there heart drop away, keep up the great work,im praying for you
Good job! All we can do is pray for everyone that their eyes are opened 🌹❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
The 3 of them together cant answer the one question that answers it all. They clearly felt pressured and wanted to flee.
Thank you brother for sharing with them, and teaching us.
For over a year, a Jehova's Witness elder has visited my home every Wednesday. We go over the "lessons" in a Watchtower publication and watch videos that accompany the text. I do not debate, knowing the futility, but allow him to take the role of "teacher". With that, I am able to question the publication as its taught. Many times I point out the contradiction in both the publication, and the NWT. The response is typically the same, "I'll have to look into that." I use old Watchtower publications against the organization which clearly show contradictions, but the response is, "I'll have to look into that." They are indoctrinated into a cult, so they have a cult mindset. Only God can open their hearts. The most that can be done is to plant seeds of doubt in their minds, which, if they reject, will be used against them on the day of judgment. Sad.
If you’re not going to contend for the faith why do you waste your time, allowing him to be the teacher?
@@joytoyouandme4593 That is the only way to approach one who has been indoctrinated into the organization. When they knock on your door, they will arrive as one who believes they have the truth; so, if you immediately encroach upon their error, you will close the door on your opportunity. Put it this way, if you knocked on someone's door, attempting to give them the gospel, and they immediately say, "You are wrong and I am right! You are going to hell with your heresy!" How would you respond? But if they let you in, and showed you, through your own teaching, that there are obvious errors, then you are held accountable.
exactly,well said.
@@eternalsecurityofthesaints9581 why do Trinitarians no mater what denomination, think that they are always scripturally right? The trinity is a man made lie made up 300 years after Jesus left the earth. Someone prove to me that the holy spirit is a person. No third person makes the trinity a big fat lie.
@@Lettruthbetold Trinity is the doctrinal position that one God is three Persons, which scripture clearly describes. Scripture is not going to use the term Trinity, but scripture will use the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. To make the point in a term people could understand, the term Trinity was coined.
I enjoy your channel, I’ve been debating JW’s since I was 14 so this is dear to my heart.

Three against one and they couldn’t stand up to biblical truth. It’s interesting that JWs only want to study and point people to Watchtower books instead of Scripture itself, which seems to take precedence even over the original languages. Unfortunately, for them the Bible is used mostly as a reference to back up their books. I am praying that at least one of them comes back. Great job. Your videos are helping many people.
They don't get into a fruitless debate . God is not a team of three "persons". Now that is paganism.
It looks like there's still hope for Lydia, toward the end she kept the conversation going a bit. I think there's a spark there, where she wants to know for herself.
There's so much ingrained groupthink for JW's, especially when together like that, it can be a bit of pack mentality. So it takes some guts for her to be willing to engage at all. Here's hoping she/they come to the light to know the Real Jesus for who He is.
@@dazzadizzy5308 proof it..let's get biblical and see who is pagan...
@@toluwalasearinola2908Jesus very clearly stated he was Gods SON. He never said he was part of a triune being.
I believe Jesus when he says who he is.
@@hereweare9096 I also believe Jesus when He identified Himself to the Jews: "Before Abraham was I AM" (John 8:58). The translators of the Septuagint (Hebrew to Greek) translated the words of God "I AM" in Exodus 3:14 into the exact same Greek words found in the Greek interlinear for "I AM" in John 8:58. Unfortunately, the New World Translation renders John 8:58 "I have been" instead of "I AM," which is an unfortunate, intentional mistranslation. If they were honest and consistent in their translations they would have rendered Exodus 3:14 "And God said to Moses I HAVE BEEN WHO I HAVE BEEN..."
I'm humbled by your knowledge of the word brother and you strengthen my faith.

Thank you Hossein! Former Muslim! I was raised on Evangelical Christianity, but your knowledge of scripture stuns me! I’m both humbled and challenged by your understanding of the Bible. I was just reading the story of the man born blind in John chapter 9. It’s another great passage about Jesus and who He is, and about the gift of faith. Even the blind man’s parents could not believe. If you’re a believer, stay humble! Arrogance is a killer.
Your level of patience astounds and inspires me!!! It's so sad to see people so blind to the truth. I'll def be praying for them 🙏
I pray for my mother, father and friends who are in this organisation. Their community is closely entwined and I can see it will take the revelation of God himself to free them from these lies. I will use the insights in your vid the next time I am able to speak to them about this. This is a powerful ministry! Thank you.
What group on earth resemble true Christianity closer than the international Christian congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses. I have searched. There isn’t any. If there is please show me. Where are they?
@@NickHawaii You are indeed correct. They do resemble Christianity and they do it exceptionally well. Loving, kind, hospitable, family oriented, zealous and faithful witnesses... I could go on. Unfortunately, resemblance is not the real deal. Resemblance is counterfeit. Resemblance is not truth.
I mean no disrespect and have no intention of starting a keyboard war. I love JW's. I wish you the very best ❤.
@@lab9998 Not true. If one resembles God that is a good thing. We don’t do it perfectly but as close as we can. You know what I meant. Anyways, no one has ever shown me anything better. Lots of criticism but nothing that can replace what we have found among Jehovah’s people. But thanks for your comment. Take care!
@@NickHawaii What are you talking about, there are many that are closer to Christianity in their teachings, doctrines & practices. Jws slaves do not even consider themselves Christians because they're indoctrinated to believe that Christ isn't their mediator, but they go about merely as members of a religious cult regurgitating the distorted gospel of Watchtower. They are set to make slaves for Watchtower, not disciples for Jesus Christ. What part of these Jws are preaching Christ & the good news of the gospel to people? That's why Jws don't know Jesus, because 99% of their indoctrination has been about the name "Jehovah" & "Jehovah's organization", the cult tower governed by 8 men who claim that every jw slave should completely trust their words the same way they trust Jesus & the Father. That is heresy!! What part of Christianity in the time of the apostles and the early church, gathered to reject the body of Christ & called it the "Memorial" of Jesus Christ?
Are you a Jw? Is Christ your mediator? The Watchtower is a religious cult that presents their distortion of the gospel as a narrative of Watchtower, which more so points people to the organization as a means of being saved. Their distorted bible supports their narrative of God's kingdom that they publish in their literature, all fables and heresies like Jw slaves having to clean up the earth after Armageddon and an unrighteous like a homosexual will return and have any chance to learn the way of Jehovah by way of the witnesses.
Watchtower org is closer to a religious cult than a sect of Christianity!!
@NickHawaii Thank you. I hear you, and your point is taken. But this was the point of my original comment... because your community is "closely entwined" (and I have experienced it, and it is lovely), it makes it harder for people to see the real truth, because of all that they will lose. In the video, the scriptures were plain to see, the original greek was plain to see, but they didn't want to see it because they had too much to lose. Similar to those who leave Islam, I imagine. The relationships and friendships are real, I'm not knocking that, but that should not override the pursuit of genuine biblical truth. Tbh I was actually surprised that a Wiitness would even watch these videos because the ones I know are guided by the elders not to watch videos like this. But sincerely, I wish you all the best. Thank you for respectful dialogue ❤️! Editing to add, genuine disciples of Jesus, who love the way Yeshua (Jesus) demonstrated love, are the embodiment of Christianity. I am blessed to be in such a congregation of believers!
Way to go Hussein! Thank you for your encouragement in spreading the Gospel. You have seeded Truth
When the "witness" is out-witnessed. Truly inspiring!
