   But you do not tell us, you try to deceive us with half truths, distortions,   
   and outright lies.

   Really? Didn't you claim it to be the Grave?

   Show me one translation that calls the "pit" a "GRAAVE"?

   He said "that shall go down into the pit." IOW you body will go into a grave,   
   but you will descend into the "Pit", The holding place of those that are   
   sinners.

   > It is the BIBLE that shows Jesus is not God. Notice again:   
      
   Your statements below are parroted deceptions of the lies of the JW.   
   Also, If Jesus is not God then why do you use his words as doctrines. Where   
   are your words of "Jehovah"?

   > God is not a three headed freak, but only ONE God. (Mr 12:29)   
   > Only God is good. (Mr 10:18)   
   > Jesus said must worship and serve only God. (Mt 4:10)   
   > In Heaven, God is the head of Jesus. (1 Cor 11:3)   
   > Jesus' angel said to "Worship God", not Jesus (Rev 19:10)   
      
   Yet the name of Jesus is above ALL names. And when we pray to God the Father   
   in the Name of Jesus, what we ask of the Father, Jesus does it, that the   
   Father may be glorified. Ever consider that truth? Jesus is the doorway to   
   Heaven, He IS the way, the truth, and Life. NO MAN can come unto the Father   
   but by Him. Not you, nor any JW, likewise for me.
