Jesus said it. Literally. *"I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD"* , so He's Good. But again, who can say Jesus was bad anyway???? Is being sinless not enough to see that He's Good???
@@Rispor4272570. The word in Greek for Good is "KALOS". Strong's Concordance kalos: beautiful, good Original Word: καλός, ή, όν Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: kalos Phonetic Spelling: (kal-os') Definition: beautiful, good Usage: beautiful, as an outward sign of the inward good, noble, honorable character; good, worthy, honorable, noble, and seen to be so. JESUS SAYS IS GOOD. literally
really.. good all the time.? he said he was not going.. yet after everyone had left.. he himself went to the festival but secretly.!! still there are idiots who put their trust in such a big fat liar..
*_for he was a GOOD MAN_*_ , full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great many people were added to the Lord - Acts 11:24 - ESV_ If God alone is good, and Barnabas was a good man, does that mean Barnabas is also God? _Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify your name? _*_FOR YOU ALONE ARE HOLY_*_ . All nations will come and worship you, for your righteous acts have been revealed.” - Revelation 15:4 - ESV_ _for Herod feared John, _*_knowing that he was a righteous and HOLY MAN_*_ , and he kept him safe. When he heard him, he was greatly perplexed, and yet he heard him gladly - Mark 6:20 - ESV_ If God alone is holy, and John the Baptist was a holy man, is John the Baptist also God? Clearly then, many people can be called "holy" and "good". But no one is "holy" like God is, and no one is "good" like God is.
*_There is none holy LIKE the Lord_*_ for there is none besides you; there is no rock like our God. - 1 Samuel 2:2_ Obviously Jesus denied being God and humbled himself by giving all the credit to God for being the only one who is "good" *_in the ultimate sense._*
@Xorotheplug Barnabas was "good" relative to him being a sinner. Jesus was much more "good" because he was sinless and was Adam's perfect counterpart. God alone is the most "good" because he sets the standard for what "good" even is. God is "good" in the ultimate sense. Revelation 15:4 says that God alone is holy, yet Revelation 14:10 calls the angels, "holy angels". Angels are also sinless, but of course that doesn't make them God. If Adam never sinned and used his free will to obey God, that wouldn't make him God. Being sinless doesn't make someone God. In Mark 10:18, while Jesus is obviously "good" (because he was sinless), the whole point is that he humbles himself and redirects the praise towards God.
Why then did Jews pick up stones to stone Jesus in John 8:58 and John 10:29-30, if Jesus never claimed to be God? When Jesus said ‘I and My Father are one’ and ‘Before Abraham was, I AM’, the Jews knew exactly what He was saying and they wanted to kill Him for claiming deity. Jesus spoke to a 1st century Jewish audience who understood all His references and the weight of His claims. It just goes over the heads of us 21st century western readers.
@@Person29-fz4qlJesus meant truly perfectly good, the word is used in a different context for Acts there and means generally good/considered righteous and upstanding
This is probably the best use of logic I've seen someone use against JWs. It wasn't just what you said, it was how you said it, and the friendly nudging you gave him. Awesome work, man👍
I don’t really understand the logic. Abraham was good too. And all the prophets of god we’re good. But it doesn’t mean there are god. I’m mit a Jehovah witness but the logic don’t make any sense
@@danieljakunin4303 the key is in the context of the story in reference (Luke 18:19 & Mark 10:1). A young ruler calls Jesus "Good teacher". Jesus reply shows that, to call Him Good is to acknowledge him as God. If JW believe Jesus is good then it's inconsistent to not acknowledge him as God.
@@ayotoladaini972 Every time Jesus speaks about "God", he's referring to the Father. Yet you think Mark 10:18 for whatever reason is the one and only exception where Jesus decides to refer to *_himself_* as God? Obviously in Mark 10:18, the man wasn't wrong for calling Jesus good, but that isn't the point. The point is that Jesus decided to humble himself and redirect the praise towards God *_as the ultimate source of goodness_* . Because no matter how good Jesus is, *_God is even greater._*
@@newneo3692 It means that when we abide in Christ, we become one with him, and we grow a communion with him and the Father, for Jesus is the head and we are the body. In 1 Corinthians 12: 27 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. Also it says in John 15: 5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing."
At least Paul says that Jesus is not God THE MAJESTY. You want the exception to break the rule... something that the Bible does not promote or people as intelligent as Paul never promoted by being Explicit.
@@terryfromdayton8201ex jw here, i went up to a few at a cart the other day and asked if they still hold to the belief jesus is the created archangel Michael, the brother answers yes and points me to jude 9 where the archangel Michael is literally getting disrespected by the devil aswell as tolerating deliberate disrespect to God himself. I ask him how this can be Jesus if in Mat 4:11 when Christ commands the devil to “be gone” the devil obeys? How can these be the same 2 figures if in one passage the devil does not respect the authority of Micheal (probably bc they’re both “angels”) but in the other passage he completely obeys Christ. Christ ≠ Archangel Michael, they have to completely different roles of authority. He changed the convo and started asking where im from. May Christ guide him tho like i did me. 🙏🏼 ☦️
@@mistowasabi5443; But should that really be interpreted as genuine "respect" and "obedience" for the Devil to do that to Christ? Or merely the tactic of a temporary withdrawal to await a more opportune time to return as Lk. 4:13 states? Since even we can do that today by resisting or opposing the Devil and he will actually flee from us too (Ja. 4:7). But that certainly isn't because the Devil respects and obeys us. Nor does that mean he won't return when he thinks the time is right just as he did with Jesus. ...
@@mistowasabi5443 those people have so much patience and respect because after reading your comment I don't know why they didn't burst out in laughter. Your analysis of those events is completely befuddling. What? What are you even reading?
You are not believing that because Satan is called the god of the world, it refers to God THE MAJESTY... what are you reading?It is important to note that the vast majority of times Jesus is referred to as THE FIRST AND THE LAST, but rather every time, reference is made to him being THE FIRST TO RESURRECT, for example... Acts 26:23 "being the first to rise from the dead" AND THE LAST, Revelation 1:15 "Ruler of the kings of the earth."
@@Tayman47 what kind of god would kill his servant miserably, humiliated, and wasted, in name of a ppl who are killers, tell me, if it was you watching it, would you simply watch him dying? And to the end leave a message, "the so called holy bible" full of contradictions? In my belief, God saved his messenger, Jesus, peace be upon him, to a safer place, and when he returns, he will clarify what nonsense you have been spoken and doing during his absence in this world.
@MyFyrosIsStillHere Jesus is God in the flesh. The father, the son, and the holy spirit are one in the same. They're different representations of the same being.
No they're not, two different entities, two different personalities but they thinks a like make them one person, like me and my husband was one person,
@@devg7728 You do understand being good at a task or job doesn't mean you are a good PERSON, right? Good SHEPHERD? Doesn't that express he is good at SHEPHERDING his flock? The man didn't even call him a good PERSON. The man called him a good TEACHER. Jesus appeared to object to being called a good TEACHER. Is it possible to be a good teacher, attorney, doctor, accountant, principal, etc, and not be a good PERSON?
@@ZacharuSkaggs I will deny something so extremely stupid all day every day. Guess what I can't read the scriptures that were inspired by God as He used the holy spirit to have men write the truth about Him and His purpose. Just guess! I can't read the following: Trinity Triune God the son God the holy spirit Three persons in one God Co-eternal Co-Creator Consubstantial All that doesn't originate in the scriptures. They originate with men as they groped about in the dark trying to interpret what they thought they were reading. So, if you want to convince me the Trinity is in God’s word of truth then direct me to the scripture where SOMEBODY, ANYBODY in thousands of years of writing the scriptures explicitly expresses one thing I wrote up above.
@@ZacharuSkaggs I know what those verses indicate and I know how the Trinity is officially defined. Those verses do not support the Trinity. It appears you don't even know what the Trinity is by your submittal of those verses as evidence. You are a denier like I am. Nice to meet you!
@@Failur3i5n0tan0pt1on John 14:7-11 literally contradicts your statement. Jesus himself said "I AM" indicating that he is God manifested into the flesh. Revelation 22:13 "I am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last." I'm not saying he's the father I'm saying he is god the son who has appointed authority in union with the father. Genesis 1:26 literally says let us make man in "OUR" image, but you deny those claims amd believe a false doctrine.
Context is key. The guy in the scripture that this refers to was calling Jesus “good teacher” and denying who he truly was, and Jesus was basically telling him “stop all this about me being some good teacher. No one is good but God” and we see clearly in John 10 that the Jews corner Jesus and tell him “you speak in all these parables, tell us plainly what you mean” and Jesus says “I and the Father (God) are one” and they tried to stone him for blasphemy.
Using John 10 doesn’t completely prove your point because if you continue to read in John 10:36, he does plainly say who he was claiming to be, which is the son of God. Most people stop reading or just don’t quote that part.
@@ChildOfMercy I was responding to the comment of someone using John 10 what Jesus actually stated claim was in most people don’t read all the way to John 10:36 where he actually states his claim, “I am the son of God”. That’s one of a few times where he actually literally says it quite clearly.
The number of times I have watched this....😅😅😅😅 And the gladness it brings my heart each time i see it.... The laughter at the end by the elder is nothing but a sign of conceding defeat..😅
Anybody that can raise Himself from the dead is Good anyone that can give someone their eyesight blind from birth is good. anyone that can feed 5000 people in the middle of the desert with a few small fish and a couple of loaves of bread is good.

@@edgararevalo1685 Jesus said he would but later the evidence shows the Father did. When describing the fulfillment of Jesus’ statement, the Bible does not say ‘he raised himself up from the dead,’ but instead, it says “he was raised up from the dead.” Before his death, he said: “Father, into your hands I entrust my spirit.” (Luke 23:38, 46)
No, they are not Christians, that's why they call themselves 'Jehovah' and not 'Jesus' Witness. They clearly reject Jesus as their Lord and the main purpose tof their faith, just like Muslims do. Like the Bible says "The one who has the Son, has the Father, but the one who doesn't have the Son doesn't either have the Father, but the wrath of GOD is upon him. They don't 'have the Son' so their are not saved. 🎯

Jesus said wide is the gate to the path of destruction. The OT warns us not to stray to the left or to the right. Jesus has a God, why would one NOT worship that God?
@@joaquimvictorenriquez1083 please reread that without the Trinitarian filter (blinders) on. Jesus plainly stated he is the good SHEPHERD. In grammar, the adjective GOOD modifies the noun SHEPHERD. So, Jesus is conveying he is good at or the most qualified at shepherding the flock. Shepherding was a JOB in the first century but Jesus' flock of sheep are his believers. If I say, I am a good attorney or software developer does that also mean I am a good MAN? No, I would only be conveying my belief in my skills or knowledge in the area of law or developing software. Likewise, the ruler didn't call Jesus a good MAN, he called him a good TEACHER. The same grammatical rules apply here. The word “good” modifies the word “teacher”, not the person in general. Even though the ruler didn't Jesus as a good man, he still appeared to object to having the label or quality of good attached to him. Strange Jesus would question the man assigning him the label of being a good teacher yet not commend him for appropriately recognizing he is good or as this video wants to suggest he is “God.” Jesus is known to commend people when they answer correctly or make a correct observation. John 13:13 - addressed as Teacher, not good teacher. Luke 7:43 Luke 10:28
Wow, this is the bomb I was waiting for years to answer this part of the bible. Literary Jesus didn't say He wasn't good, He was checking if the person who asked Him knows what he was claiming. He was calling Jesus GOD men...
This is the sad part. Even when you open their eyes and they realize the truth, they are torn because they fear rejection from Jehovah Witness family and friends more than they fear God.
Checkmate!! Never thought to approach it from that angle. If they're claiming Jesus is denying being good, and thus denying being God, just have them declare that Jesus isn't good with their own mouth...they won't, because they fear the wrath of God. Brilliant!

Jesus said that no one is good save the Lord God, and he also said that he and the Father are one. In a roundabout way, Jesus was saying he was good without saying he was good.
”He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.) And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.“ Ephesians 4:10-16 ESV

You are not a true believer Jesus did not come to this world to restore mankind to a particular human group or religion JESUS AKA GOD 🙏 Sent his word to restore mankind back to what they lost in the garden and that was not a religion based belief system
So many people misunderstand the bible because the way we communicate today is completely different.. When he said, "Why do you call me good? Nobody is good, except God is good." This means that all good things come from God. All thoughts good sprites good vibrations good feelings all positive things come from the Father
