Every spot in OT where-GOD or LORD all capitols-YHWH belongs there. Satans will had Gods name removed. God put his name there because he wants it there. Your translations are altered to mislead.
Firstly, none of that addresses the point I was making. Why don't you even try to address my points? Secondly, that LORD replaces YHWH has nothing to do with God's name being removed;
it's because we speak English and the OT was written in Hebrew. Thirdly, God's name isn't Yahweh or Jehovah either. Those are transliterations whose pronunciations are probably not accurate. It is absolutely irrelevant whether translations say LORD, Yahweh, or Jehovah, since the Hebrew is YHWH and that is what they are all referring to.
The JW,s dont teach any other true God beside-YHWH(Jehovah) --all know false gods exist
But JWs teach that the Word was "a god." That is another god or, to be consistent, do you want to now say that the Word is a false god? JWs have two choices: 1) the Word is another god, and so believe in polytheism, or 2) the Word is a false god, in which case, John 1:1 makes no sense.
and are being worshipped-Jesus warned of them-John 4:22-24 as did Paul-1Cor 8:5-6, then both told all who the true God is, both spots only the Father is called God.
What does the Bible say about who is to be worshiped? I think we can both agree that it is blasphemous to worship false gods:
Exo 20:3 "
You shall have no other gods before me.
Exo 20:4 "You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
Exo 20:5
You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me,
Exo 34:14 (for
you shall worship no other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God),
Mat 4:8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.
Mat 4:9 And he said to him, "All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me."
Mat 4:10 Then Jesus said to him, "Be gone, Satan! For it is written, "
'You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve.'"
But then we see many instances of Jesus being worshiped:
Mat 2:11 And going into the house
they saw the child with Mary his mother,
and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.
Mat 14:31 Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?"
Mat 14:32 And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.
Mat 14:33 And
those in the boat worshiped him, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God."
(It is very important to also note here the use of "the Son of God".)
Mat 28:8 So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples.
Mat 28:9 And behold, Jesus met them and said, "Greetings!" And
they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him.
...
Mat 28:16 Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them.
Mat 28:17 And
when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted.
Luk 24:50 Then he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands he blessed them.
Luk 24:51 While he blessed them, he parted from them and was carried up into heaven.
Luk 24:52 And
they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
Joh 9:35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and having found him he said, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"
Joh 9:36 He answered, "And who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?"
Joh 9:37 Jesus said to him, "You have seen him, and it is he who is speaking to you."
Joh 9:38 He said, "Lord, I believe,"
and he worshiped him.
(Note that the context begins with Jesus miraculously healing of a man born blind and then asking the man if he believed "in the Son of Man.)
Heb 1:6 And again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says,
"Let all God's angels worship him."
But what happens when other people or angels are worshiped?
Act 10:25 When Peter entered, Cornelius met him
and fell down at his feet and worshiped him.
Act 10:26 But
Peter lifted him up, saying, "Stand up; I too am a man."
Rev 19:9 And
the angel said to me, "Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb." And he said to me, "These are the true words of God."
Rev 19:10
Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, "You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus.
Worship God." For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
Neither Peter nor the angel (rightly) accepted worship from people. Interestingly, though, Jesus accepted worship that was due to God alone, and didn't correct people when they did that, which would be blasphemy if he wasn't also truly God. Which brings me to 1 Cor 8:6:
1Co 8:6 yet
for us there is but one God, the Father,
from whom all things came and for whom we live;
and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ,
through whom all things came and through whom we live.
That is Paul expanding on the Shema, with both the Father and the Son included:
Deu 6:4 "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.
You will also notice that "all things came" from the Father and "all things came" through Jesus, the Son. Again, like John 1:3 and Col 1:16-17, there is only one logical conclusion: Jesus
cannot be one of those things or those verses are lying.
