JW looking clarity followup

[Aractus]

No, I don't speak greek but I can read the Kingdom Interlinear and compare the greek words in those scriptures. As far as those scriptures, I do believe that you can find scriptures to make an argument for the trinity. But, when I read scriptures like when Jesus was called good teacher and he said, "no one is good but the father" or when God from heaven said, "this is my son, the approved..." I just can't but assume they're two separate beings. I can use a puzzle piece to try and figure out what the puzzle is going to look like and I could be right. But it would take all the pieces to truly know what the picture will be

Well then, if you can't read Greek then you can't tell me what what is and isn't a Greek "figure of speech", at least not without evidence. Again, all the parables in the Bible - all of them - take place in a real physical location. So Jesus must have believed Hell to be a literal place otherwise why would he use it as a setting for his parable?

You didn't answer my question - who is the "First and the Last"? If it is Jehovah then what business is it of Jesus to call himself by Jehovah's title?

It puzzles me that you ignore the book of Revelation that makes it abundantly clear that the first-century author sees Jesus as deity and equates him with Jehovah. That comes right out of your Bible. Jesus saying people go to hell after death also comes straight out of your Bible. Nevermind the fact that no other denomination will touch the NWT for being translated by biased translators.

You also ignored my earlier questions, so I'll repeat them.

1. Why would this almighty god be subjected to what a human demands as proof?

Because he DOES prove himself several times according to the Old Testament, and according to the New Testament when Jesus appears before doubting Thomas. The problem is that what constituted as proof in the first century no longer constitutes as proof; after all the first century Jews and Christians believed that diseases were caused by daemons and other demonic forces. They didn't know about psychology, they didn't know that some illnesses affect cogitative processes and manifest themselves as mental diseases.

2. Does gods creation not make him apparent?

No it doesn't because: a. Why are there diseases that target children? b. Why did he create Onchocerca volvulus and other parasitic worms? Why did he tell Adam and Eve they could "eat from any tree" (except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil) when in fact many tress produce fruit that is deadly to humans? And furthermore why did he create fruits, vegetables, other plants, fungus's, and other life forms that are deadly to humans?
