  Trinitarians! Who is Jesus Christ's father the Holy Spirit or the Father?

  by booker-t in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is one question that trinitarians try to avoid because they have created a very embarrassing problem.

  the bible is very clear when the angel tells mary that holy spirit will overshadow her and she will become pregnant.

  the angel does not say the father will overshadow her but the holy spirit will and if the holy spirit is a person that would make him the father of jesus.

  Broad and Spacious Road to Destruction, or Narrow Gate to Life??

  by stuckinarut2 in

  so we all know of the parable / illustration at matt 7:13.

  "go in through the narrow gate, because broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are the ones finding it, or going in through it".

  here is a brain snapping thought that hit me!:.

  Very valid point made.

  I feel the same way at times. I really and truly believed until I noticed trying to please the elders and the society often contradicted the bible.

  I found myself often sounding like a broken record "thats not Jehovah GOD, that's man."

  @cofty- I said that's what works for me. I wasnt trying to explain anything.

  Just the parts I have put together that makes it understandable to me for my christian beliefs.

  This may not work for you. It may not work for most. It works for me. I see it does not work for you.

  Afterwards, I smile and feel like I'm a little kid running with my hands up through a meadow because I am free.

  From what I've read...You are a human with very strong convictions. Depending on how passionate you are about certain subjects negates your response at that time.

  You are different. Since we celebrate different; I say to you DARE TO BE DIFFERENT.

  Please continue to Embrace your Individualisim with the same care and compassion you expressed in your post today. If you think you should tone it down; than to your own self be true.

  It was very kind of you to offer such a heartfelt apology. Thanks

  after.14 years of being a jw, fading from 2006 and da'ing in december, i no longer feel anger for the things i experienced.. i do however, feel for others who are hurting because of the wtbs.

  broken families, child abuse etc....i feel anger for their pain.. i think i'm healing.

  i also love god and jesus in a better way.. i hope all those hurting get their healing real soon too..
