Are we created in the image of Jesus?

Using the New World Translation ( my   emphasis is added.)  "This is what Jehovah says, your Repurchaser,  Who formed you since you were in the womb:  “I am Jehovah, who made everything.  I stretched out the heavens by myself,  And I spread out the earth.  Who was with me?" Isaiah 44:24 Let us get started... God Created "In the beginning God  created the heavens and the earth." Genesis 1:1  Do you believe that Jehovah God is our Creator?  "Then God said: “Let us make man in our  image , according to our  likeness , and let them have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and the domestic animals and all the earth and every creeping animal that is moving on the earth.” And God  went on to create the man in his  image, in God’s  image he  created him ; male and female he   created them." Genesis 1:26-27 In this verse we see the interchanging of the plural and singular. ...

Is Jesus really present in bread and wine?

Defending The Real Presence of Christ in The Eucharist using the New World Translation.   JW's Come Home to The Catholic Church     Before you click away from this article I would like to ask you to prayerfully and patiently consider what I am showing you.

It saddens me because Christ wants us to follow him wherever he asks us to go and to believe in him no matter what and no matter how difficult the teaching seems to be.  Do you believe that? This article is about the Gospel of John chapter 6, of the scriptures. I will not quote the chapter in its ...

Is Jesus, Mighty God?

The Scripture that I am using here is from the New World Translation.  My emphasis added with underlining :) Jesus, the child born to us is God!  - For a child has been born to us, A son has been given to us; And the rulership will rest on his shoulder. His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God , Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6) - She will give birth to a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” All of this actually came about to fulfill what was spoken by Jehovah through his prophet, saying:   “Look! The virgin will become pregnant and will give birth to a son, and they will name him Im·manʹu·el,” which means, when translated, “With Us Is God.”  (Matt 1:21-23) We know these verses are referring to Jesus, who is "the child born to us" to rule over us, and to save us from our sins. Yet this child has a name,  "Mighty God"  They will name him (and we know this is referring to the child J...

Is Jesus a false god or the real God?

Is Jesus, The True Light, The Word of God and God made man or a false god? In my opinion there are no other options especially when we read scripture for ourself. Jesus is either God or he is not. And if he is not while claiming to be divine, he is a false god among many.    Let's have the scriptures tell us!  Underlines added Using the NWT JW bible and KJV for context comparisons
