In Col. Jesus is supreme over creation because he is its author and creator. Psalm Clearly he was preeminent over all kings, not the first-created king. There are many nations that preceded Israel. Therefore it is abundantly clear that in Scripture firstborn does not mean first created. This is a common mistake in Jehovah Witness interpretation.
Third: It is possible for example for an earthly father and son to be of the same essence or nature human but have different roles or positions. Implications for the Atonement First, Jehovah Witnesses believe that while on earth Jesus was a perfect man.
Before and after his earthly existence he was and is the archangel Michael. No human could have taken the sins of the world in his body. Only God could bear the weight and terror of sin. No human could have bore the wrath of God for all sin. Not only did Jesus bear our sin, but he also bore the punishment due sin, therefore appeasing the wrath of Almighty God. No mere human could have been an adequate mediator between God and Man, unless he was both fully God and fully man. Therefore, in order that the God-man may perform this, it is necessary that the same being should perfect God and perfect man, in order to make this atonement.
Worship is reserved for God alone. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. In [the] beginning the Word was, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god. A verse that underscores the unity of the Godhead, and the divinity of Christ.
All translations make it clear the fullness of God was pleased to dwell in Christ. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. He is the reflection of [his] glory and the exact representation of his very being, and he sustains all things by the word of his power;. As we have seen before the NWT never ascribe worship to Jesus, knowing that if that be so he can be neither man nor angel, but indeed Almighty God!
Isaiah To those who have obtained a faith of equal standing with ours by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ. For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. For there has been a child born to us, there has been a son given to us; and the princely rule will come to be upon his shoulder. A Messianic prophecy regarding Jesus of Nazareth.
Unfortunately, we had to use Neptune in July. All the Assisted Living had to do was make a phone call at my request. That was it. The very next day, Eric from the Salt Lake City office called me.
It took a lot of pressure off my shoulders as we were also getting ready to leave on a long vacation 5 days later. Everything was done before then. The Metcalf Mortuary, they were wonderful. Neptune Society is awesome and provides as much needed service, thanks. The people I talked to were so helpful, they guided The people I talked to were so helpful, they guided me thru everything.
They were uplifting, respectful, and down-to-earth. William Webb was patient with me. I filled out the death cert wrong, found my error in double-checking and there was no problem changing. Every accommodation was made that I can think of. I highly recommended Neptune society. Extra thanks to you Bill Webb. When my husband's mother passed away recently, she had not With the help and guidance of Julie at Kansas City Neptune Society, we were able to make plans for her and feel more at peace with her passing.
There were many choices and options and Julie was there to answer our questions and walk us through everything. She was very thorough and kind.
It can be a very stressful situation to have to plan for someone else when it is such an important decision. We were so thankful that we decided to use Neptune and have purchased plans for ourselves so that the decision will not have to be decided by our child in the future. The Neptune Society team in Arizona was the perfect group The Neptune Society team in Arizona was the perfect group to help us through our loss.
Losing our mom was incredibly devastating. There were so many unknowns for us as this was our first significant loss as a family. Susan and Ramon at Neptune in Tempe Arizona were incredible. They stepped in to answer questions, to guide us, and to help us with each next step. As a result, our family was able to honor our mom and grieve our loss. They made us feel like we were the only family they were working with.
We will definitely work with Neptune Society in the future. We were more than pleased with Staci. She was She was phenomenal and went above and beyond for our family. They believe that when 'the End' finally comes only , human beings will go to Heaven and rule the Earth from there with Christ - these are known as the anointed. Becoming an anointed person is not something that is done by voting or selection. Instead, the anointed one knows directly from God that he or she has been chosen.
Only those who feel themselves to be anointed partake of the bread and wine at the annual Memorial of Christ's death. The majority of Jehovah's Witnesses are not anointed and will not spend eternity in heaven. They will spend eternity in paradise on Earth. In fact not only Jehovah's Witnesses but billions of others will have everlasting life on earth and thus fulfil God's original plan for humanity when he put Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.
