Post #71Thanks, as He is above angels, what Jesus is? A true God or a false God?onewithhim wrote: ↑Sun Feb 16, 2025 8:35 pmI don't worship Jesus the same as I worship Jehovah, the Father. Jehovah is the only God Almighty, above everything else in the universe that He created through His Son.

Jesus before incarnation as in the form of God and equal with God.
Can any man claim that, all what the Father has is mine. Jesus said it. (John 16:15)
Can find a verse that all angels of the Father worship another being?
Heb 1:4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
Heb 1:5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
Heb 1:6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
But my question is, as they are spirits like God, do you worship angels?
You said angels are in the form of God. Though no verse that said so but you don't worship.
Jesus as in the form of God. But why worship Jesus? Not the angels.
How do you explain Jesus position, is He below the level of angels? If yes or no, kindly explain.
Is Jesus level above the angels? If yes, explain what He is then.

Post #72He is subordinate to the Father who is God Almighty. To call Jesus a "god" is to say that we honor him highly as a powerful individual.

To call Jesus a "god" is to say that we honor him highly as a powerful individual. That is what "god" meant to the Greeks of the apostles' day. Judges and people in high political positions were "worshipped" as gods.Capbook wrote: ↑Wed Feb 19, 2025 2:03 pmThanks, as He is above angels, what Jesus is?

You said angels are spirits same as God. Yes.
You said angels are in the form of God. Though no verse that said so but you don't worship.
Jesus as in the form of God. But why worship Jesus? Not the angels.
How do you explain Jesus position, is He below the level of angels? If yes or no, kindly explain.
Is Jesus level above the angels? If yes, explain what He is then.
1. The Father - one true God, worth to be worship? Yes or no.
2. Jesus - a true god worth to be worship of a false god worth to be worship?
3. Zeus - a true or false god?
1. The Father = Yes, the one true God.
2. Jesus = a person of power and authority, a true god, not THE true God. The true God GAVE Jesus Jesus' authority and power.
Zeus = a false god and not worthy of any worship.
Is that the theology of JWs?
1. The Father - is He worthy to be worship?
2. Jesus - true god, not the true God per your reply, Is He worthy to be worship or not?
3. We agree with this.
2. Jesus is not worthy to be worshipped as God Almighty. Yet he is a beautiful, powerful, influential, revered individual---what the Greeks would call "a god."
3. We agree with what?
2. Jesus and the Father was being worshiped together by all created things on the earth, etc. Do you believe this text or not? (Rev 5:13-14) Greek is "proskuneo")
3. We agree that false god not worthy to be worshiped.
Rev 5:13 And I heard every created thing which is in heaven, or on the earth, or under the earth, or on the sea, and all the things in them, saying, “To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be the blessing, the honor, the glory, and the dominion forever and ever.”
Rev 5:14 And the four living creatures were saying, “Amen.” And the elders fell down and worshiped.

Re: Book Of Life ( Who Writes The Names)
Post #802. It doesn't indicate that Jesus and the Father are equal. That is your opinion, based on the mere fact that they are together and deserve respect as to their positions and authority. The Father is worthy to be worshipped as God Almighty, and the Son is worthy to be worshipped as the right-hand man of the Father, the second in command, given that position by his Father. They are not equal. The Father is superior, as the rest of the Bible tells us, including Jesus himself. (John 17:3; John 14:28)Capbook wrote: ↑Wed Mar 19, 2025 2:44 am1.

There is only ONE Almighty God, the Father. There are other gods worshipped that are all false. Jesus is not Almighty God but he is a powerful, influential, revered individual. To say that he is not Almighty God shows that JWs worship one God, unlike trinitarians.Capbook wrote: ↑Sat Mar 01, 2025 12:10 pmA "true God" and a" true god" as not of the same state of being God, I believe is not monotheism.onewithhim wrote: ↑Sat Mar 01, 2025 11:49 amIt is not my "interpretation."
