First, I want to apologize. I've not shared anything here in almost 4 months. Still shared some on Facebook, but not here. In those 4 short months, I've moved to Colorado, gotten married, and started back to college.
Life changes... thankfully, God's word, God's promises, God's faithfulness, do not.
Okay, I'm not clear on the differences of beliefs, but I'm asking for clarity, here, today. If there are Jehovah's Witnesses, I'm asking kindly and hope any will answer the same. Also, I know I have a few friends here that are Mormons. So I'm asking about John 3:17-18?
If I'm wrong on what I think I roughly understand both Jehovah's Witnesses & Mormons to believe, I apologize, please forgive me. I think I understand Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses believe something to the effect that Jesus and Lucifer were brothers, and Jesus is not God incarnate. If that's the case, how then do you answer the questions the following 2 verses bring up, please?
I'm asking in sincerity here, wishing to understand better. Thanks to any who care to try to clarify:
This is Jesus speaking to Nicodemus, teacher of the Jews, here:
John 3:16-18 --
16 “For God so loved the world,[i] that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
Now, it says twice there in 3 verses, "only son." So how exactly are Jesus and whoever else, thought to be brothers, please?
Thanks to any who care to discuss this civilly.
