Ref. John 1:9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
John 4:42, And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.
8:12, Mathew 28:16 – 20 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Praise The Lord
1. Louvenia, who comes to ME and reasons with ME or persuade ME that I may change my mind;
2. Louvenia, who decides between you (man) and ME (GOD HIMSELF) who is right or who is wrong;
3. HE said to me: you go to your director and he tells you something, then your co-worker tells you something else, now you change your mind with new information. JEHOVAH GOD said, look I know "all" things. I AM ALMIGHTY GOD, no one can come to ME and tell ME anything I do not already know. This is why I do not change my mind/break a promise. The spiritual warfare left me undecided toward life, knowing that ALL things are in subjections to ALMIGHTY GOD approval. So NO, NO, NO, if men believe or do not believe, I believe this does not move GOD to break HIS promise or HIS will. Trust me, By faith! I requested death (cursed! myself), in order to separate myself from the very thing I was in the midst of. Only to awake! And find myself instructed and repositioned, in that very thing! I was in the midst of 1 John 4:1 Spiritual warfare. I personally found that death did not separate me from ALMIGHTY JEHOVAH GOD, because I knew what death is.
2. The word of God whenever it is preached, must tell us what we are for real. We repent because we have been told what we are. We tell other people about the Jesus who tells us who we are. If the word does not awaken within us that, then it goes without doing anything... God help us!

23But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
look it up maybe that helps and you wont be soo confused
Jesus said we should be baptized in the name of the Father, the Son and the holy spirit. ( Matt. 28:19, 20) What does this mean? Fatherhood refers to parenthood, and being baptized in the name of the Father shows that one recognizes the superiority and sovereignty of our heavenly Father, whose name alone is Jehovah. ( Ps. 83:18) We must sanctify his name, respect his sovereignty, love his kingdom and serve its interests. ( Luke 11:2) Next, being baptized in the name of the Son shows one’s appreciation for the high authority and position conferred upon the Son by the Father. There must be love and appreciation for the Son because he is the Ransomer. Without his sacrifice we could not gain life. How great a debt we owe him! ( Isa. 55:4; John 4:42) Finally, being baptized in the name of the holy spirit means to recognize such spirit as the active force of Jehovah. It is that same force that unerringly guided the men of old to write the Bible, impelled the early Christians to withstand persecution successfully and that today guides Jehovah’s theocratic organization on earth.—2 Pet. 1:21; John 6:63; 1 John 5:6.
One’s baptism is a public demonstration of death to a past course of life. If the candidate remained submerged in water, truly it would mean his death. Fittingly, one is raised to life as it were, alive to do the will of Jehovah. Thus one’s day of baptism could be said to be the day of one’s start in a new life. Baptism serves both as a public confession of one’s dedication and as a sign of one’s being an ordained minister. Doubly blessed by Jehovah is this individual. The date of one’s baptism should be recorded and remembered always. As far as Jehovah’s visible organization is concerned it is the date of your ordination to the ministry of the Most High.
To them that are sanctified in Jesus Christ.
To them that are called to be saints.
To them that call upon the name of Jesus Christ in every place, for their sake and for the sake of others.
Grace be unto you, and peace , from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
God is faithful and by Him you were called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
Paul beseeches those who worship God to have no divisions amongst themselves.
Believers should be joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
Paul had learnt that there were divisions amongst the believers in Corinth.
[12] Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. [13] Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
Up to this day these divisions have taken root in the Christian faith.
Like in the olden days Christians still identify their churches by the names of the founders or the names given by the founders.
Paul thanks God he did not baptize any of them except Crispus and Gaius and a few others.
[17]For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish because of foolishness.
And the preaching of the power of God is to those who are saved.
God will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
God has made the wisdom of this World foolish.
Through His Wisdom God created the World, yet humankind in its own wisdom did not know God.
The World tries to please God by the foolishness of preaching to them that believe.
[21]
The Jews require a sign for them to believe.
The Greeks require wisdom for them to believe.
Preaching that Jesus Christ was crucified is a stumbling-block to the Jews. [23]
Preaching that Jesus Christ was crucified is foolishness to the Greeks. [23]The wise of this World.
But to them who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Jesus Christ is the Power and Wisdom of God.
Few wise men are called.
Few mighty men are called.
Few noble men are called.
Few rich men are called.
Many are busy with worldly affairs and the desire to fulfill fleshly passions.
God chooses the foolish things of the World to confound the wise.
God chooses the weak things of the World to confound the mighty.
God chooses the base things of the World , to confound the highly regarded.
God chooses the despised things of this World , to confound the exalted.
God chooses things which are not, to bring to nought things that are.
No one is glorious in the eyes of God.
But of him who is in Jesus Christ, who God has made through His Wisdom and Righteousness, and Sanctification, and Redemption: let him glory in the Lord.
Jesus Christ himself did not baptize people. [ John 4:2]
Jesus Christ could not have baptized people in his own name.
Jesus Christ’s baptism is by the fire of the Holy Spirit.
Anyone receiving this baptism is saved and receives eternal life.
St. John’s First Epistle ὁ θεός [“the God”] so often certainly means the Father that it must be understood of the Father throughout the Epistle.” Also, the French Protestant Bible du Centenaire concedes in a footnote that the Greek allows for a non-Trinitarian translation. Incidentally, it not be forgotten that, probably in the fourth century C.E., an overzealous Trinitarian Latin scribe added to 1 John 5:7 the words “the Father, the Word and the holy spirit; and these three are one.” This addition, known technically as the “Johannine Comma,” was protected by the Vatican until
1927, in spite of the fact that even some Catholic scholars had raised doubts about its authenticity
as early as the sixth century. This dishonest insertion shows the lengths to which Trinitarians will
go in their efforts to prove their doctrine
God’s Name and the Trinity
Something that makes God very real to Jehovah’s Witnesses is their knowledge and regular use of his personal name, Jehovah. ( Psalm 83:18) When a member of one of Christendom’s churches reads in his Bible the anonymous expression “the name of the Lord,” it means little or nothing to him. Similarly, when he prays “hallowed be thy name,” the chances are that he does not know what name he is praying about. Jehovah’s Witnesses know their God, they know his name and, like the psalmist and Jesus himself, they love their heavenly Father’s name.— Psalm 5:11, 12; John 12:28; 17:6, 26.
Since God’s personal name appears literally thousands of times in the original-language Bible, why has it been expunged from many of Christendom’s Bible translations, and why is it never used by the hundreds of millions of Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant “Christians”? Could the dogma of the Trinity have anything to do with this most extraordinary religious fact?
Interestingly, the Catholic Jerusalem Bible renders Deuteronomy 6:4: “Listen, Israel: Yahweh our God is the one Yahweh.” And a footnote, after giving another possible translation, states: “But it is more likely that we have here a declaration of monotheistic faith.” This, then, is the one God of whom Jesus, speaking as a Jew, stated: “We worship what we know.” ( John 4:22) And this Catholic Bible admits that the name of that one God is Yahweh, or Jehovah. Now, according to Trinitarian theology, Yahweh, or Jehovah, is the name of the God of the Hebrew patriarchs and the Jews, the God whom Jesus came to reveal as “the Father,” or “God the Father.” It follows that for Trinitarians the divine name Yahweh, or Jehovah, designates only one of the supposed “Three Persons” of the “Godhead.” The “Second Person” has a name (Jesus), but the “Third Person” is the anonymous “Holy Spirit.” Christendom’s churches cannot logically use a name for God that does not designate the entire “Godhead.” So their members are condemned to worship a mysterious triune God that has no name.Yet, instinctively, many Catholics feel the need to worship someone they can know and name. This, no doubt, explains why many of them worship Jesus or even Mary. This same instinct to worship a God one can name is even reflected in religious architecture. In scores of Catholic chapels, churches and cathedrals in France and other countries, above the high altar or elsewhere there is a gilded, rayed nimbus representing divine glory. In the center is a triangle, symbolizing the Trinity. Paradoxically, inside the triangle is the Tetragrammaton, the four Hebrew consonants of God’s name, Jehovah. But how many Catholics today realize that it is God’s name?
“One Lord, Jesus Christ”
After having stated: “There is actually to us one God the Father, out of whom all things are, and we for him,” the apostle Paul added: “And there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are, and we through him.” (1 Corinthians 8:6) Jehovah’s Witnesses subscribe to that further statement. Jehovah, the Father, is the Source; Jesus, God’s “only-begotten son,” the “firstborn of all creation,” is the means by which the Father accomplishes His will.— John 1:2, 3, 14; Colossians 1:15, 16.
John 4:21-24) Jesus said to her: “Believe me, woman, The hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will YOU people worship the Father. 22 YOU worship what YOU do not know; we worship what we know, because salvation originates with the Jews. 23 Nevertheless, the hour is coming, and it is now, when the true worshipers will worship the Father with spirit and truth, for, indeed, the Father is looking for suchlike ones to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit, and those worshiping him must worship with spirit and truth.
John 7:16) Jesus, in turn, answered them and said: “What I teach is not mine, but belongs to him!!! that sent me.”why worship the creation rather the the creator that would'nt make sence right????
Jehovah is his name, God is a title.
Amen. Timothy 6:15-16-which God will bring about in his own time, YAHWEH, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords,
16 who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen..., John 6:46, 1 Corinthians 8:5-6 THE LIST GOES ON AND ON. I DON'T THINK THAT 1 JOHN 5:7 IS TRUE, IT WAS PURPOSELY PUT THERE BY THE ROMAN CATHOLICS WHILE TRANSLATING THE SCRIPTS FROM HEBREW TO GREEK TO SUPPORT THEIR BELIEVE OF "FATHER THE GOD, SON THE GOD AND HOLY GHOST THE GOD THREE IN ONE............
Deity of Christ – Jesus means “Jehovah is Salvation” and Christ means “The Anointed One”. Titus 1:4 “To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus (Jehovah is Salvation) Christ (the Anointed One) our Savior.” Whenever you come across the word “LORD” in all capitals in the KJV it is God’s name “Jehovah”. Isa.43:1 “But now thus saith the LORD (Jehovah) that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.” Isa.43:3 “For I am the LORD (Jehovah) thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.” Isa.43:10-11 “Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD (Jehovah), and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the LORD (Jehovah); and beside me there is no saviour.”Isa.45:21-22 “Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD(Jehovah)? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.” Dt.32:39 “See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.” Isa.7:14 “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”Isa.9:6 “For unto us (Israel) a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” Matthew 1:23 “Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.” Matthew 1:21 “And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS (Jehovah is Salvation): for he shall save his people from their sins.”
See I John 4:1-3 Notice vs 3 “By this you will know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus (Jehovah is Salvation) Christ (the Anointed One) has come in the flesh is of God” Jesus is not “a” God – He is GOD-Gen.1:1, Isa.43:10-11, Dt.32:39, I John 5:7 “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy [Spirit]: and these three are one” God is a TRINITY – God the Father, God the Word (who came in the flesh-Jesus Christ) and God the Holy Spirit.
And that the tribe occupying Jerusalem have hijacked the Pentateuch for political and expansionist purposes - aided by the Romans of course. Things haven't changed much over the centuries have they? But perhaps we need "Jacob's Ladder" to show us the reality behind this story
