    At Eph 5:10  it says, “ Keep on making sure of what is acceptable to the Lord...”

     

    Question:  To whom is Lord referring, Jehovah or Jesus?  How would you support your answer?  

     

    Any assistance is grateful accepted b/c...I’m stuck.

     

    Thank you

      Your question has been answered in the thread you started on the same subject. Probably better to concentrate posts there, more scope for discussion.

      When I look at this scripture, I think to myself, does it really matter? Everything that Jesus Did when on earth and continues to do is from Jehovah. From start to finish of his ministry he stressed that he came to do, not his own will , but that of whom sent him.   Anything that Jesus found acceptable was taught to him from his Father Jehovah.  In this way, all eyes turn to Jehovah and give him the rightful praise.

How I Found the Truth

  • How I found the Truth
    Again. I was reared in the truth along with fleshy 4 brothers and sisters. My mother was a faithful and zealous sister for 63 years. Though not baptized at the time I consider that I left the truth when I graduated from high school. I graduated from the University, traveled the world, joined the Peace Corps and lived in Kenya for 2.5 years. To make a long story long, I returned to the truth after a 40 year absence. How/Why you may ask? One word...Caiaphas. My wife, who was disfellowshiped at the time, and I started going to the meetings at the continuous and loving encouragement of my mother. I was reading the account of Stephen at Acts 6 and it occurred to me that this was the same man (Caiaphas) who also officiated the trial of Jesus and gave Saul/Paul permission to pursue the Jews to Damascus. For some reason the confluence of those significant biblical events embodied in one man piqued my interest and I wanted to know more.. a lot more. And, like anyone who has an open mind and is searching, you'll realize that this IS the truth.

    My wife was reinstated in March of 2009, I was baptized in October of 2009. I have the privilege of serving as a Ministrial Servant and was an attendant at our circuit assembly this past weekend.

    I am so very thankful that Jehovah has allowed me to know him and his purpose for mankind. I'm determined to remain in his love.
