prayer

Don't trust Awake! Their Jesus, a created and, therefore, finite being, is not great enough to bear even the smallest single sin of ours without suffering on the cross or in hell for eternity, sinless though he be to start with. The true Jesus, the Son of God, is infinite. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the word was God". The last word in this sentence is an adjectival noun and means that Jesus Christ is God in every way (including being an infinite being), but not identical in person with God the Father, Who is God with Whom the Word was. Christ said "Ye must be born again" (John 3). If you are born again, you are in Christ, and your prayers in Christ will definitely be heard. If not, pray for your sins to be forgiven and for yourself to be born again in Christ. God may hear your prayers even if you are not born again, but He has not promised to. Study John's Gospel, because it was written "that ye might believe". But believe on Him, not on some Church, though genuine Christians want to meet to worship God with other Christians.

Well everyone has the freedom to think what they want. I have used the literature on this site over 50 years and always found that they keep to the truth. Everyone has now the possibility to do searches on the site and see if the information is founded on tha Bible or not. The Bible is the authority, not human beings. I continue learning all the time, and I like to go to the original languages that the Bible was written in, as they clear up many misunderstandings that are so common these days - and has been for hundreds of years.

buenavida: JohnRok1's response is based on the Bible (but not on your translation). I don't think he just got that idea from nowhere or from his mind. JohnRok1: This is what the official JW Bible states about John 1:1, "In [the] beginning the Word was, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god." (New World Translation) In their translation, Jesus Christ is just a god and not God [...contrary to all other translations I have ever seen. Their officials say that this translation is justified because in the original Greek the word "God" is without the article. It is without the article, but it is clear that this is not their real reason, because verses 6, 12, and 13, of the same first chapter of John contain similar usages of the word "God," all without the article. The Witnesses have translated all of these correctly with a capital "G" and without inserting "a". The only instances I have found in which they translate "God" with a small "g" are when "God" refers to Christ. It is certainly not done consistently whenever the Greek word "God" lacks the article. (See the examples in John 3:21, 8:54, 9:16, 9:33). In the case of John 1:1-3, to avoid a translation that correctly identifies Christ as God, the New World Translation ends up attributing the creation of all things to "a god!"] I enclosed the explanation in [] to give credits to Thomas Heinze.
