The bible tells us many things , even who the true God is .



In the book of Isaiah, chapter forty-two, verse eight, the Almighty God says: "I am Jehovah, that is my name; and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise unto graven images." (AS) So now this only true and living God is no longer unknown to you by his personal name. He is Jehovah God.

Liar (lol) You like to hear what you want to hear, and that is all. The BIBLE states nothing that you claim it states. You bring no one to heaven here Mee, because no one but you gets to heaven, with the rest getting second best...that's ok with me though. I don't want your version of heaven.

That really doesn't work very well. Psalm 83 is a prayer for deliverance from national enemies and v.18 is just the hope that God will prove he's the top man by defeating those enemies. So, take your choice: poetic bragging rights or theological literature — oh! gee! they're the same thing. LOL

i like to hear what the bible teaches and that is all, yes you are quite right to say that i bring no one to heaven , that is not my Job . and my hope is not to go to heaven, but to inherit the earth . and i am a work in progress. matthew 5;5 and the rest can have a chance to inherit a paradise earth in peaceful ways as well .
But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth,
And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace. psalm 37;11

and yes it is GOODNEWS . Its all happening in these the last days , putting ourselves on the side of Jesus and Gods kingdom is the thing to do. but responding in the correct way to GOODNEWS is the thing to do . i am waving my symbolic palm branch.


And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come. matthew 24;14


and i am joining in the heralding of the Goodnews along with a GREAT CROWD of others from all nations REVELATION 7;9-10


but as you say many do not respond to GOODNEWS

yes Gods name has great meaning , HE CAUSES TO BECOME and in the end people will have to know that he is Jehovah . and he is the top one , or even the most high .

God’s name identifies him as the One who progressively fulfills his promises and unfailingly realizes his purposes. Only the true God could bear such a meaningful name.

knowing God’s name means learning what that name represents and worshiping the God who possesses it.



A description of his qualities: a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abundant in loving-kindness and truth.

“Those knowing your name will trust in you, for you will certainly not leave those looking for you, O Jehovah.”—Psalm 9:10.

[Faithfulservant]

I am thinking that Jw's might be guilty of idol worship... worshipping the name and not God Himself.

well his name does mean ....HE CAUSES TO BECOME..... so when he promises things in his word the bible ,it will come to pass , so i think he is worth worshiping . and in the past his promises always came true and his promises will come to be in the future also.


Now, look! I am going today in the way of all the earth, and YOU well know with all YOUR hearts and with all YOUR souls that not one word out of all the good words that Jehovah YOUR God has spoken to YOU has failed. They have all come true for YOU. Not one word of them has failed.
Joshua 23:14



(Joshua 21:45) Not a promise failed out of all the good promise that Jehovah had made to the house of Israel; it all came true.



(1 Kings 8:56) “Blessed be Jehovah, who has given a resting-place to his people Israel according to all that he has promised. There has not failed one word of all his good promise that he has promised by means of Moses his servant.



but for us now ,the promise of a paradise earth is what will come to be.


“Happy are the mild-tempered ones, since they will inherit the earth. matthew 5;5

But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth,
And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace. psalm 37;11

So did the Samaritans, but God blessed them anyway, because they worshipped what they did not understand...

so rather than smirk, shouldn't we be trying to educate?

just a thought.

the trouble with those Samaritans of the first century C.E. They accepted the inspired Pentateuch as written by the prophet Moses. But they stubbornly refused to accept the further revelation of Jehovah God as contained in the remaining thirty-four books of the inspired Hebrew Scriptures.

They did not accept the up-to-date historical record of God’s activities and truth.

Yes, the way you worship really matters with God. As far as he is concerned, there is only one true religion. (Ephesians 4:4-6)

Yep, the ONLY religion that God accepts as pure and unadulterated:

The kind of religion (worship) that God accepts is this: caring for orphans or widows who need help, and keeping yourself free from the world's {evil} influence. This is the kind of religion (worship) that God accepts as pure and good.
James 1:27 (ERV)
