  Where did YHWH Originate?

  by cameo-d in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  several biblical scholars have suggested that yahweh originated with a group known as the shasu, canaanite nomads from southern transjordan.

  an egyptian inscription at karnak from the time of pharaoh amenhotep iii (1390-1352 b.c.e.

  ) refers to the "shasu of yhw," evidence that this god was worshiped among some of the shasu tribes at this time.[2].

  Question regarding Holy Spirit...

  by tenyearsafter in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am still muddling my way through both sides of the trinity argument, but i would be very interested in hearing the explanation for the nontrinitarian view of the holy spirit and what it is in light of ephesians 4:29-32 where it speaks about "grieving the holy spirit".

  if the holy spirit is just god's active force, as we were taught as jw's, how can we grieve it?

  grieving would indicate a personality or feelings that could be "grieved".

  Examining Scripture to see if Jesus was, and is, God.

  by jonathan dough in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'll start with john 14:8-10. .

  scriptural support for the triune nature of god, and the gradual recognition that jesus christ, the word incarnate (john 1:1), was and is god, can be found throughout the bible.

  the evidence is abundant and unfolds like a flower, foreshadowed in the old testament and revealed in the new testament.

  A question for all ex jws AND JW's here, btw I'm new too

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so far quite dissappointed from what i've seen.

  this is very very important, first i"ll address the non/ex jw then i'll address the jw's (jw's scroll down if don't wanna see the first part).

  i see so many who have concluded that it was not 'god inspired', a lot of what is being done, and their conscience told them that many things conflicted with jesus teachings and the bible.
