   Then you just excluded all JW’s from the 144K   
   Besides it has not one thing to do with my reasoning, it comes from the truth   
   of God.

   I can forgive your sins against me, but your sins against God can only be   
   cleansed by the Blood of the Lamb of God.

   Now you Mock God but putting a “g” in God?   
      
   Jesus received the power by the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Remember that he   
   set aside his former power and glory to be born as man? He did no miracles   
   until he was Baptized with the Holy Spirit.

   Yet you said they were one and the same. Your circular reasoning is asinine.   
      
   The Heavenly Father is the Head, just as Jesus is the head of the Body of   
   Christ, as the Husband is the head of the wife, and so on.   
      
   All power and authority has been given to Jesus. His Name is about all names.   
      
   Do you really seek to belittle Jesus? Have you considered how an earthly Dad   
   is protective of their Son?   
   Do you really have the guts and power to stand up to Him?

   You already have done it with your own words, as well as the declarations of   
   the JW Org in their watchtower statements. You stated that his body was still   
   in the grave.
