  Trinity

  by XBEHERE in

  i still dont believe in the trinity doctrine completely.

  lately though i have been reading other translations and listening to ex-jw testimonials online.

  granted most of these testimonials are from ex-jw, born again christians.

  The Bible isn't really specific about the trinity.. A good argument can be made for and against the doctrine. What really bothers me is how religions on all sides condem anyone to hell or eternal damnation if you don't see things the way they do. How can anyone in their right mind think that the Creator of the universe hangs around worrying and taking notes about the way us lowly humans comprehend His makeup? Does it really matter to Him how He is pictured by us, just as long as we understand His charactoristics like love, wisdom, justice etc? The trinity, the rapture, a world-wide flood, how long it took to build the universe, if Mary was really a virgin, etc. etc. are nothing but religion attempting to control us poor dumb lay-people. These doctrines are interesting and worthy of research and discussion but I don't think getting all the details just right determines our everlasting future and relationship with our Maker.

  from another Bible help please..

  i have a post from another forum that i am very interested in, but, i would love to hear a few of your views on the subject.. i am now going to dig into my bible to have a look to see what he is talking about, but i know that the view of jehovah's witnesses is about as close to the best intereptation of the bible there is...this is the post..... "-the eastern or golden gate, which was sealed for almost a 1200 years is a key part to bible prophecy.

  ezekiel recorded the prophecy about the closing of this gate.

  he told how the lord brought him to the eastern gate.. .

  Ever listened to "pastor" Arnold Murray? This guy's as offbeat as they come, but he knows his Bible! He can quote almost any bible verse from memory. Also, for example, if he's asked a question like where in the bible does it say "And God raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by His power." He'll think for a second and say 1 Cor. 6:14. Just because he's got a great memory doesn't mean his interpritations are any more correct than anyone else.

  If The Population Increases Does It Mean There Would Be Less Demon Control?

  by minimus in

  since the demons can't multiply and produce baby demons, my theory is that if the earth's population increases, then there is less likelyhood that the demons and a singular devil will get to us.....whaddya think?

  "Since the demons can't multiply and produce baby demons"

  So does that mean that the Nephilum were adopted?

  2. friends

  you know those people who pepper their conversations with phrases that were fashionable once but now - it's just plain annoying!.

  probably the phrases travel the world.

  "at the end of the day".

  I hate it when someone wants to ax me a question. I also hate the new way word meanings are twisted around: "Hey man that's a sick looking car you have!" "Sick" now means nice looking. One other thing, a whore is a whore, not a Ho. Go figure. Stick a sock in it. Past Due. System Failure.

  please dont take offence but ive just realised something maybe its been touched on before,.but when i was reading the thread on bil cosby i read the one off obviously secret.

  now as i am a white person i assumed he was white until he stated he was black.

  so when i thought about it, i imagine everyone on this site is white, does everyone who is black imagine everyone else is black, and anyone oriental imagine everyone else is oriental.

  I was a fourth generation'er.

  Always felt uncomfortable with the whole thing.

  Was forced into going to meetings and service until mid teens.

  Never baptized.

  Got married at 23 (to non witness) - tried again to fit in and please family. Same uncomfortable feelings.

  Started real investigation of WTS in 1999 through books and internet.

  Never been back.

  later, chappy
