========================================
Only God is good. (Luke 18:19)
rCo The man correctly concluded Jesus was good.
rCo Jesus did not deny He was good.
rCo Jesus pointed out that only God is good.
rCo Conclusion: Jesus wanted the man to conclude He was God.
Jesus didn't know the day or hour. But only God did. (Mt 24:36)
rCo Jesus did not cling to His equality with God (Philippians
2:6-11).
rCo He temporarily emptied Himself of independent access to His
divine attributes to provide an atonement for our sins
(Philippians 2:6-11).
Cannot look at God and still live. (Ex 33:20)
Which proves Jesus was God.
rCo In the beginning He was both with God and was God (John 1).
rCo Jesus never saw God directly in His unglorified human body.
rCo Jesus ascended back to the right hand of God in a glorified body
(Philippians 3:21) that can withstand the sight of God's glory
(Acts 2:33).
No man has ever seen God; (1 John 4:12)
rCo idem. See above.
rCo Are you denying his humanity now too?
rCo Jesus saw God as God, not as an unglorified human being.
rCo Jesus is the exception: rCLnot that anyone has seen the Father except
he who is from God; he has seen the Father.rCY (John 6:46, ESV)
Jesus has the same God as we do. (Mt 27:46)
Which is what we proclaim. In the beginning, Jesus was both "with God",
and "was God" (John 1:1ff.).
No one has seen the Father. (John 6:46)
Selective editing. See "except" in the verse below.
rCLNot that anyone has seen the Father, except He who is from God;
He has seen the Father.rCY (John 6:46, NKJV)
Jesus said he was the start of God's creations. (Rev 3:14)
And He was. Arch-o includes the meaning "cause" and "authority".
rCLIn the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and
the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things
were made through him, and without him was not any thing made
that was made.rCY (John 1:1rCo3, ESV)
You're trying to interpret "start" (arche) as "first created thing". It actually means "starter" of creation. So yes, Jesus was the cause of
God's creation (Colossians 1:16). He originated it (John 1:3). He
brought it into being (Hebrews 1:2).
Yes, Jesus was created by God (Col 1:15)
"firstborn" (pr+itotokos) includes the meaning "preeminent". It points to Jesus authority over creation, as one who has the "right of a firstborn"
Son. That this means Jesus is the Creator rather than created, is
evident in what you omitted from the context:
rCLHe is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all
creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on
earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or
rulers or authoritiesrCoall things were created through him and
for him.rCY (Colossians 1:15rCo16, ESV)
rCo This is why Watchtower has to keep eisegeting "other" into
Colossians 1, where it does not occur.
rCo This is not to make something "clear" which would have been obscure
without the addition of "other".
rCo It only makes sense if you are trying to enforce a denial that
Jesus is God, despite what the passage plainly states.
God is not a three headed freak, but only ONE God. (Deut 6:4)
rCo The Bible teaches there is only one God Being (Deut. 6:4).
rCo The Bible teaches three persons are God: The Father (1
Corinthians 8:6), Son (John 1:1; John 20:28), and Holy Spirit
(Acts 5:3-4).
God is not a three headed freak, but only ONE God. (Mr 12:29)
Jesus is "a god" (Watchtower John 1:1 [New World Translation]).
rCLThomas answered him, rCLMy Lord and my God!rCY Jesus said to him,
rCLHave you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those
who have not seen and yet have believed.rCYrCY (John 20:28rCo29, ESV)
Only God is good. (Mr 10:18)
See above. You said the same thing with two different verse references.
Just include both references in one statement.
Jesus said must worship and serve ONLY God. (Mt 4:10)
rCo And since He accepted worship as God without rebuking the ones
who worshiped Him, He was claiming to be God (Matthew 14:33;
Matthew 28:9; John 9:38).
rCo The Jews understood this, which is why they tried to stone Him
(John 10:33).
In Heaven, God is STILL the HEAD of Jesus. (1 Cor 11:3)
rCo Husband and wife are both equal as children of God (Galatians
3:28).
rCo The wife voluntarily submits herself to the husband's authority
(Ephesians 5:22).
rCo Submitting to authority does not necessitate inequality of
being. It's a voluntary role that promotes unity between
equals (cf. Philippians 2:6ff.).
Jesus' angel said to "Worship God", not Jesus (Rev 19:10)
What kind of sophistry is this? He most certainly did not say "not Jesus".
rCLAnd the angel said to me, rCLWrite this: Blessed are those who are
invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.rCY And he said to me,
rCLThese are the true words of God.rCY Then I fell down at his feet
to worship him, but he said to me, rCLYou must not do that! I am a
fellow servant with you and your brothers who hold to the
testimony of Jesus. Worship God.rCY For the testimony of Jesus is
the spirit of prophecy.rCY (Revelation 19:9rCo10, ESV)
It was the angel who refused worship. He didn't tell anyone not to
worship Jesus.
Can you explain them?
I reject the false premise they have not already been explained at least
30 times or more.

Have you heard the good news Christ died for our sins (rCa), and God
raised Him from the dead?
That Christ died for our sins shows we're sinners who deserve the death penalty. That God raised Him from the dead shows Christ's death
satisfied God's righteous demands against our sin (Romans 3:25; 1 John
2:1-2). This means God can now remain just, while forgiving you of your
sins, and saving you from eternal damnation.
On the basis of Christ's death and resurrection for our sins, call on
the name of the Lord to save you: "For 'everyone who calls on the name
of the Lord will be saved'" (Romans 10:13, ESV).
