But while Christ IS the Creator as <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Col%201:16-17&version=ESV" rel="nofollow">Col 1:16-17</a> makes clear and I state in my post above, under "5. JESUS DOES WORKS OF JEHOVAH Creation," I assume, along with A.T. Robertson in his <i>Word Pictures of the New Testament</i> in his comment on <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Col%203:10%20&version=ESV" rel="nofollow">Col 3:10</a> that "<i>After the image</i>" is "An allusion to <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Gn%201:26,28&version=ESV" rel="nofollow">Gen 1:26,28</a>" (IV:503) and therefore here Paul is meaning "the Creator" as God generally, not specifically the Son.<br /><br />By "coincidence" I am about to start my new morning Bible study series "<a href="http://jesusisyhwh.blogspot.com/2011/10/jesus-is-jehovah-contents.html" rel="nofollow">Jesus is Jehovah!</a>" (by topic), having finished only yesterday "Jesus is Jehovah in Revelation") which was the final study in my series "<a href="http://jesusisyhwh.blogspot.com/2009/01/jesus-is-jehovah-in-new-testament-index.html" rel="nofollow">Jesus is Jehovah in the New Testament</a>."<br /><br />And the very first verse I am now about to base my `quiet time' Bible study on this morning, as part of "<a href="http://jesusisyhwh.blogspot.com/2011/10/jesus-is-jehovah-contents.html" rel="nofollow">2A. Plurality in Jehovah was revealed in the Old Testament</a>" is <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+1:26&version=ESV" rel="nofollow">Gn 1:26</a>, "Then God said, `Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.'"!<br /><br />StephenStephen E.

Some of my posts in this series are very long. I copied and pasted this "Jesus <i>is</i> Jehovah in Colossians!" post into Microsoft Word and I was surprised to find that it was 23 pages long! <br /><br />I usually do break my long posts into part #1, #2, #3, etc. (e.g. my "<a href="http://jesusisyhwh.blogspot.com/2011/01/re-jesus-was-executed-on-cross-not.html" rel="nofollow">Jesus <i>was</i> executed on a cross, not a stake!</a>" series), but I had made the decision from the beginning that in this series there would be one page for each book of the New Testament (with the probable exception of 2-3 John).<br /><br />>so it will be easier to consider a piece at a time w/o losing place<br /><br />If readers use their Page Down key they won't lose their place. <br /><br />Stephen E.

The other day I was out the front gardening and a whole troupe of JWs walked past. And even though I greeted them in a friendly tone as they walked past (which few people would do to JWs), hoping one or two of them would stop and talk, they acknowledged my greeting and walked on! <br /><br />They have a card system of every house in every street and houses with those who know enough to threaten the JW belief-system, are marked as not to be contacted. <br /><br />>I continue to pray for both of them. Thank you for your prayers - and for your blog.<br /><br />Do keep praying for them as long as the Lord continues to lay them on your heart. <br /><br />I am still praying every day for that JW elder named Charlie. I have several times asked the Lord if I should stop but each time I get the feeling that one day Charlie will knock at my door for help on how to leave the Watchtower and find the REAL Jesus who is JEHOVAH, come in the flesh (my reading this morning was Heb <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Heb%201:8,10-12;Ps%20102:25-27&version=NIV1984" rel="nofollow">Heb 1:8,10-12; Ps 102:25-27</a>), i.e. a passage about Jehovah is applied to the Son). <br /><br />May the Lord bless your willingness to minister to the poor, blind, prisoners of the Watchtower.<br /><br />Stephen E.
