About Daniel Selinski Expertise <<<>>>>If you want the word of Jehovah and his visible organization known world wide as Jehovah's Witnesses watered down don't question me,there are other fine brothere and sisters on this board ,Brother Rando,Brenton Hepburn,and Brenda Martin who are more gentle but will also not water down the WTBTS
here you will get the truth undiluted,unadulterated and Brutally Honest,Just know with me I'am against all the Churches of Christendom as well as all other religions and it's false God's .Let it be known from this day forward Daniel Selinski is a Jehovah Witness and willing not only to look for sheeplike ones door to door in the snow,rain and if need be a blizzard but will knock the horns off goatlike ones opposed to our religious beliefs.I'am a champion and have proved myself against some of the most prominent clergy the world over,my spiritual Daggers are sharp so avoid me if you are opposed because you will be spiritually SLAIN.
Experience In Jehovah's Witness organization since 1975,served as an ordained minister and regular pioneer
Education/Credentials High school grad,Attended College.
so here are some scripture I have search which shows Christ was worshipped.
These scriptures are from the Amplified Bible:
St Matthew 2:2,8,11,8:2,9:18,14:33, 15:25, 20:20, 23:39, 28:9,28:17..... St Luke 12:8, 24:52.... John 9:38.... Acts 2:21..... Hebrews 1:6...... Revelation 4:10,5:14,11:16,14:7,15:4,19:4,22:3......
I would have search the NWT Bible but it's not available on bible.com, but I search The Amplified Bible because I wanted you to see the KJV is not the only Bible which shows Jesus Christ was/is worshipped.
These scriptures shows Christ is worshipped as God Almighty (Revelation 1:8, KJV) and if Christ is God Almighty than he is Jehovah God.
Thank You!!!
ANSWER: I explained the difference between worship and obeisance.
in Jesus’ illustration at Matthew 18:26
(Matthew 18:23-26) . . .“That is why the kingdom of the heavens has become like a man, a king, that wanted to settle accounts with his slaves. 24 When he started to settle them, there was brought in a man who owed him ten thousand talents [=60,000,000 de·nar´i·i]. 25 But because he did not have the means to pay [it] back, his master ordered him and his wife and his children and all the things he had to be sold and payment to be made. 26 Therefore the slave fell down and began to do obeisance to him. . .
Notice the same verse in KJV;
26The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him
Now would Jesus use the word worship? in terms of a human NO he would not.
they rendered obeisance to him, not as to God or a deity, but as “God’s Son, not worship
Peter stopped Cornelius from rendering such to him, and the angel or angels of John’s vision twice stopped John from doing so, referring to himself as “a fellow slave” and concluding with the exhortation to “worship God
(Acts 10:25-26) . . .As Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet and did obeisance to him. 26 But Peter lifted him up, saying: “Rise; I myself am also a man. . .
(Revelation 19:10) . . .At that I fell down before his feet to worship him. But he tells me: “Be careful! Do not do that! .All I am is a fellow slave of you and of your brothers who have the work of witnessing to Jesus. Worship God
(John 9:38) . . .Then he said: “I do put faith [in him], Lord.” And he did obeisance to him.
This was not worship as it would be bowing to God.
You will believe what you want I just provide the scriptures and explain the truth,again if Jesus is Jehovah why would he talk about someone else to worship he told Satan that God is to be worshipped,if he is God he should have said I am to be worshipped
---------- FOLLOW-UP ----------
QUESTION: I wonder if you were considering our entire conversation before you ask me why does Jesus talk about someone else to worship. I believe in the Godhead, I said,"I understand your position of Faith, but I disagree". But your question overlooks what I believe. Now I know I can believe what I want and I want my beliefs to be rooted in Truth. This is your chance to reveal what's wrong with my faith in God. But, I don't think your doing well. And it seems you want me to stop e-mailing you and I will (unless you clearly let me know differently, this will be the last one).
So now, you best attack to unveiling what's wrong with the Godhead is: the KJV is false; I must read the NWT to know the truth; and Jesus is not Jehovah and is not worshipped according to the Jehovah's witnesses understanding of the Bible from the NWT. That's all I got from you, and I knew this before we starting the convo.
Meanwhile, my questions you either overlooked or flat out said it was wrong and just expressed your beliefs. for examples: you overlooked all those scriptures I supplied. And you just explained, Jesus was not worshipped but they did obeisance to him according to your understanding.
Okay, Here is my last attempt of explaining why I believe in the Godhead and my problem with what Jehovah's witnesses teaches about Jesus Christ: Here's a parable for understanding the Godhead: It is written, man was made in the image of God. So if the Godhead is real we should see an image of God in MAN. By the breath of life Man has a SPIRIT that makes him a living soul; Every Man born was born a SON; and every son has a FATHER. So Man can be a FATHER thru birth, every Man is born a SON, and every Man has or had the SPIRIT of life within. Do you see it, Man the father, Man the son, Man a spirit. Now the Godhead: God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. Now let's see these three in ONE. I am a perfect example. I'm a FATHER because I have children, I'm a SON because I have a Father, and I'm alive by the spirit of life. SEE, all three in ME and there's only One Me. Likewise, there's Only One Almighty God (JEHOVAH) and he is "The Everlasting Father, and The Everlasting Son, and The Everlasting Holy Spirit." God Almighty speaks his WORD and his Word brings forth the Spirit of Life. This is GOD the maker and creator of Heaven and Earth. God is not God without his Word and lives only by his WORD. God is not God without his SON because the Father is not a father without his son. This is why I have a problem with the Jehovah's witness teachings. Christ has to be Jehovah God along with his father because they are One in Spirit.
I hope you understand what my position of Faith is and if you disagree please tell me something more creditable than I'm reading the wrong Bible.
Thank You - And I hope you want to continue in the spirit of finding truth.
Answer
Lets examine this concept of a Godhead and what this really mean OK,first you say you believe in this concept
but how did you come to accept this ,did you do research and discovered it to be true,or was this handed down because of someone else believed and you just accepted it as truth without question.
The problem is you have to be willing to take a look at what we say the bible says that why we go door to door looking for meek persons looking for truth and willing to study with us,now in a sense you have accepted a study
here in this forum by continuing to question me,most will run from me because as I mentioned I hit extremely hard
and I'm willing to engage in spiritual warfare where we both throw spiritual daggers,Im not a little girl at your door with the Watchtower and Awake scared hoping no one comes to the door,my daggers are sharp and you will be slain spiritually.
So its up to you if you want me to continue or you run like all the rest,the ball is in your court you can take your ball and go home or you can play ,if you choose to continue just know up front I'm against the churches of christendom,against the King James version and can prove why its false and I will give you one example now.

So like I said I hit hard and if you want bible truth I'm here for you ,we dont water down the word of God to appeal to
a large number as do the churches who let homosexuals serve as priests,women pastors all to attract a larger number.
So if you want the truth about the concept of a Godhead I'm your servant.
