Timing in heaven?

by Doug Mason in

are you asking whether or not heaven exists outside the laws of time?

or are you asking if our measurements of time applicable to the heavenly realm?

i have a difficult time grasping the concept of time :) so maybe there there is a watchmaker somewhere around to answer your question :)

Are You a Glass Half Full Type Person ? Optimist or Pessimist ?

by flipper in

friends

we've all heard the cliches .

" when the going get's tough, the tough get going .

" etc., etc., ...... " better to have loved and lost .... than never loved at all.

NanaR

I'm definitely an optimist. I don't know how I "got that way", because my father, mother, and grandmother (the three people who raised me) were all the complete opposite.

I drive my husband crazy with my "everything will be all right" attitude. He is also a pessimist.

"If you are Christian you are definately Trinitarian"

by Sirona in

my jw mother thinks that all christians (non jws who call themselves christian) are all trinitarian.. i tried to point out that there are certain groups who are not trinitarian, but she seemed to think that all christian groups in babylon the great believe in the trinity.. is it true that only fringe groups reject the trinity?.

sorry for my ignorance but i don't know much about mainstream christianity.. i would like to email her (my mum) a list of religions which reject the trinity but are also christian.

i also heard of groups who believe and preach about jehovah as gods name.. sirona.

As far as I know, these are the specific groups that reject (or have at one time rejected) the Trinity as defined in the Nicene Creed:

Jehovah's Witnesses and related (such as the various Bible Students groups)

Christian Scientists (the official Church teaching posits a trinity of the unity of God, the Christ, and divine Science, or: "God the Father-Mother; Christ the spiritual idea of sonship; divine Science or the Holy Comforter" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Science

Christadelphians (they deny the prehuman existence of Jesus)

Unitarians (they deny the prehuman existence of Jesus)

Mormons (they teach that all humans had a pre-human existance, and that all saved humans will become gods).

Oneness Pentecostals (they teach the Modalist heresy -- that there are three aspects or manifestations of God, not the traditional Trinity which states that there are three Persons that are coequal, coeternal and consubstantial in the Godhead.)

Seventh Day Adventists (in the 1800s) were divided on the subject of the Trinity, but in the 20th Century their church leaders accepted it. Their baptism, however, is not accepted by the Catholic Church because it is not uniformly done "in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."

When I was investigating Catholicism, it seemed very telling to me that the only groups that reject the traditional Trinity doctrine are such "fringe" groups. All mainline Christian Churches, from the Catholic and Orthodox through the Reformers and even some of the Restorationists (Church of Christ, for example) teach the Holy Trinity as defined in the Nicene Creed.
