[quote:Anonymous Coward 0:MV84NTYyM18zMDYyOTIxXzRCMjVGOEZF] what does "only begotten" mean? John 1:14 - And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 1:18 - No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:18 - He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Hebrews 11:17 - By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, 1 John 4:9 - In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Begotten (Page: 133) Be*got"ten (?), p. p. of Beget. http://machaut.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/WEBSTER.sh?WORD=begotten Be*get" (?), v. t. [imp. Begot (?), (Archaic) Begat (); p. p. Begot, Begotten (); p. pr. & vb. n. Begetting.] [OE. bigiten, bigeten, to get, beget, AS. begitan to get; pref. be- + gitan. See Get, v. t. ] 1.

Granville. http://machaut.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/WEBSTER.sh?WORD=Beget Jesus never once claimed to be equal with God in fact He always called Him Father and said the the Father was greater than Him John 14:28 - Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. [/quote]

You´ve probably encountered them at your door. and you may have seen their ´Watchtower´ or ´Awake! magazines neatly displayed on counters of your local laundromat. The Jehovah Witnesses are probably the most aggressive and fastest growing cult in the world today. They may have your relatives or loved ones gripped by their darkness and lies...I am hoping by this thread that you may gain some info on how to reason with someone you care about, who has been led astray by their false teachings.
There are almost 4.5 million members in the world today and are devoting over a billion man hours a year spreading their false doctrines around the world.
This is not a thread to troll for hate, but I hope that you may gain some knowledge about what they teach, and if you have someone you care about involved with them, I hope that you might gain some knowledge on how to rescue them from the dark hold Jehovah´s have on their members.
