  if this has been answered before, just point me in the right direction.

  matthew 28:19 says to be baptized in the "name of the father, and of the son, and of the holy ghost.

  " what is the justification used in jehovah's witnesses changing this.

  Sweetest Sharon

  Does it really matter so much who a JW is baptised into? a true Christian is baptised in the name of the Father/Son/holy Ghost. That is what really matters most.

  Hugs to you and my prayers to you too, dearest one. I love all of you.

  thought you all would enjoy this.. i went to a b'day party for a friend who is a bible-thumper in the worst way!

  (10x worse than most jw).. i'm sitting around like a zombie while everyone is talking about how "blessed" they are to "know christ" blah blah blah blah blah.. then my interest got peaked as one of the women started quoting scripture talking about how the reason her life is blessed is that her great great grandmother was a russian mennonite blah blah blah and the bible says that god will bless your offspring if you come to know him.

  blah blah blah.. so i start asking a few well placed questions like "well what does that mean for the poor muslim sop whose great great grandmother was a muslim?

  First point- LDH

  What do you think the bible means when it says (John 1:1)
  In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, AND THE WORD WAS GOD.

  Or how about Rev. 1:8
  I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

  Or John 20:28 (After Thomas had seen the risen Jesus)
  And Thomas answered And said unto him, My Lord and my God

  Second point- to a number of you here.....not all, but some for sure.....

  Is there no love anywhere within you? Is all you have within you a tendency to enjoy backbiting and malice? People have a right to choose for themselves what they will believe, we can talk to them all we want to, but unless they make a conscious choice to change their beliefs, we do not have the right to judge them for the paths they choose to follow.

  Jesus commanded us to go to the world and teach the truth; but not to shove our beliefs down people's throats. Did JESUS do that NO.

  No matter what happens, the command LOVE your neighbor still applies to everyone whether you are in agreement or not. WHY can you not LOVE each other? WHY does there have to be so much verbal mudslinging here? I myself might certainly not agree with your beliefs necessarily, but I LOVE every single one of you with the same passion that I share for the King. You can beat me up for this all you want to, and I will still love you all.

  Hi, Mulan, thanks for writing. My name is Christina Douglas.

  I really AM sorry that the lies of the WT have pushed you all away. I personally have no connection with any organised religion, because I have not found a good church yet. In that sense, I really CAN see where all of you are coming from. Though there is something to be said for going to church and celebrating with other believers, I prefer to stay at home, because in my own worship I find far more fulfillment than in any church around here.

  I did not come here to judge you all, Jesus said Do NOT judge. I do hope, that in time, you might come to see who Jesus REALLY is.

  I have nothing but LOVE for all of you, and I will be back if I am welcome.

  Just one more thing though....

  I hear what you all say baout organised religion; I myself am NOT part of any man's organised religion, for you can have an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ without organised religion standing in your way.

  I am so sorry that man's lies have turned you off the saviour. I will pray for you all. I love yuo.

  That is SHE to all of you, not HE.

  I will go, but not without a great deal of sadness; There is no love anywhere in this world, only bitterness. I still love you all no matter what.

  Rev. 1:8

  I am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, aqnd which is to come, the Almighty.

  JESUS here, is speaking to John, speaking both in the name of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost.
  He here is speaking of HIMSELF, not speakign just for the Father, but for BOTH of them.

  So Jesus and the Father and the Holy Ghost are ONE, Just as 1John 5:7 says.

  John 14:10

  Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?

  If you see JESUS, you are looking at the FATHER.

  Peace and love to you, sweet ones!

  You all seem to be mistaking me for a JW, and I am NOT, nor did I ever have any association with them. And DO not wish to do so. I am terribly disturbed at their dreadfully erroneous teachings that only lead people astray from the real truth.

  But that does not take away from what Jesus said, that NO ONE cometh to the Father but by ME. It is not enough to do good works, the bible makes that perfectly clear that works do not save you. FAITH in the risen LORD is what saves, and that fAITH has to come first. Works are the fruits of that faith. You cannot put the cart before the horse as it were.

  No matter what you might think of me, I LOVE you all most sweetly. Hugs and kisses to all of you.

  I should also add that my handle is chosen because my words are foolish and meaningless without the hepl of the Lord. I am NOTHING but a fly that can be swatted away. NO ONE, NO flesh can ever pretend to fully understand the mind of GOD.

  Only GOD KNOWS the whole truth.

  I love you all most sweetly, in Jesus's name!

  SEEKER

  God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked and unbeliever, but by God's foreknowledge it is a simple fact that many will reject the truth, thinking that they can go their own way to be saved. God cannot help those who reject Him and will not listen. So He gives them up the the path which they alone have chosen to follow. God does not condemn them; THEY CONDEMN THEMSELVES.

  MULAN

  The bible makes it perfectly clear that the only ones who are saved are the ones who accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour who died for us all.

  NO exeptions except for babies and small children who cannot understand sin, and cannot be held accountible, nor have the capability to learn and understand the Lord's word.
