Denominations/sects, same as far as I'm concerned. Mine is catholicism.

Re: Jehovah's Witnesses grow by 'devious' methods, charge anti-missionaries

Before coming to earth Jesus was called the Word of God.

This title shows that he served in heaven as the one who spoke for God.

He is also called God’s "Firstborn," as well as his "only-begotten" Son. (John 1:14; 3:16; Hebrews 1:6)

This means that he was created before all the other spirit sons of God, and that he is the only one who was directly created by God.


The Bible explains that this "firstborn" Son shared with Jehovah in creating all other things. (Colossians 1:15, 16)


when God said, "Let us make man in our image," he was talking to this Son. Yes, the very one who later came to earth and was born from a woman had shared in the creation of all things! He had already lived in heaven with his Father for an unknown number of years!—Genesis 1:26; Proverbs 8:22, 30; John 1:3.

So before being born on earth as a man Jesus had been in heaven as a mighty spirit person.


He had a spirit body invisible to man, just as God has. (John 4:24)

Jesus himself often spoke of the high position he had held in heaven.

Once he prayed: "Father, glorify me alongside yourself with the glory that I had alongside you before the world was." (John 17:5)


He also said to his listeners: "You are from the realms below; I am from the realms above." "What, therefore, if you should behold the Son of man ascending to where he was before?" "Before Abraham came into existence, I have been."—John 8:23; 6:62; 8:58; 3:13; 6:51.

Since He came and the gospels have been written there is the ability to know God and to worship Him in spirit and in truth. And those that are in Christ have continued his work to go out and spread the gospel. It is our responsibility if we love our fellow man to point him in the right direction. Whether or not you want to accept Christ as Lord God and Saviour, at least you cannot say you never heard the truth, and any other gospel other than this is not Christianity.

Very true, and we would also know who Jesus christ was .





This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ. john 17;3



And a voice came out of the cloud, saying: "This is my Son, the one that has been chosen. Listen to him.
luke 8;35

Saltmeister, that is some seriously dangerous dialogue you've got. Perspective! I like it. It reminds me of a verse or two. (everything reminds me of a verse or two)
