by moreisbetter inif you participate in the christmas holiday, "merry christmas" is a traditonal greeting as well as a response to the same.
as a former jw, do you feel strange if you say the words "merry christmas"?
i said "merry christmas" tonight in response after making a purchase.

The Trinity
by meadow77 intop reasons the wts is lying about the trinity.
their translation of john 1:1 is not only a complete farce but falls apart upon closer examination of their own beliefs.
the insertion of the phrase a god, instead of god is just a clear misinterpretation.

Im a member of a church that is trinitarian and arian but we dont argue like this on and on forever. Im trinitarian myself and what ive noticed anti trinitarians base there arguements on a straw man in not realising trinitarians beleive that jesus was the God man fully God and fully man.

Also even though i dont know much about intra day trading reading one of Guppys books I remember him saying depth of market is not available in the US markets but is in Australian stocks and i beleive it would be a very ellective tool for intra day trading as it lists the bid and ask at all levels to predict support and resistance.

Iwasyoung once, Im interested and ive been studying a few books by Daryl guppy on Technical analysis but intraday trading is a bit volitile Im more interested in trading positions for a week to a month timespan. True intraday traders close there positions at the end of day. Many people make 50% return per annum on capital with short term trading.
Im going to a seminar by Daryl Guppy on tuesday 10th dec where i will be able to tune into the finer points on trading.
The most important lesson is to act on youre stop losses and every large loss was once a small loss. Barry -

Navigator Im married again so we wont be getting back together but Michelle allways tells me what she is doing with her life and sometimes she takes my advice even though she is the smart one. I Just hope the new group is good for her, I told her to find friends there that she can be comfortable with I think thats more important for now than trying to analyse every single doctrine. Barry

Irongland no im not a mormon Im just saying that a christian in the 2nd century didnt have a bible as we know it he or she would have some of the bible. Does that mean things were unclear in the first centuries before the scriptures were decided apon? Well no as I said before christian doctrine was handed down from 70 ad when the christian church was thrust apon the world. What about the creeds which were a summary of christian beleif even before the scriptures were decided apon. ei the nicean creed and the apostals creed. I beleive the creed of Athanasius came after the bible. However I dont feel anyone can argue baptisimal statements which later developed into the creeds are not christian beleif.
Meadow77 there is plenty of information about the early christian church and the developement of christian beleif one good book is Christian Thought by Tony Lane a Presbyterian I have other books I cant get my hands on at the moment but some books i got about the early church from a catholic book shop has information about the developement of christian thought.
