Who is The Lord?

by JW Answers in

the jehovah's witnesses believe that only the father is lord god, however by searching the scriptures we can identify that there are more than one person in the godhead, and the lord jesus as well as the holy spirit are lord.. for those who are interested in learning, feel free to watch this new video..

News flash Cofty. The trinity cannot be explained as there is nothing to compare to God. - TTWSYF

Thank you for confirming that the trinity is impossible to explain.

Yup, Yet, you keep trying to get people to answer your stupid question. Acknowledged that nothing compares to God. No one or nothing is like him... you're so smart.

Accusing somebody of being a bully for respectfully engaging in debate about xtian dogma on a religious discussion forum is pathetic. I am the one discussing facts and reason while you and JWA throw out personal attacks and insults. Hypocrite.

You do not respectfully engage in a debate. JW answers posted about 'Who is Lord' and you attacked him and he was nothing but respectful to you. I read your posts. So did others here. I called you a bully because I read your posts. You're a bully . period

The evolution of the divinity of Jesus can be traced through the NT. I can argue powerfully from the bible that Jesus is not god and that he is god. The truth is that the bible does not contain a consistent Christology.

Still didn't answer what the scriptures says. EXPLICITLY states that Jesus and the Holy Ghost are God. Period.

I'm not your pal.

Of course not. You're a bully and I don't make nice with bullies buddy, yea, I'm not your buddy too. Boo hoo

On another note, What's wrong with my analogy of time being in 3 states but always time, always agreeing and never contradicting? Which heresy am I promoting?

It's a horribly convoluted illustration. Time is not a person. It doesn't 'agree' or 'contradict'. It is never in 3 states. Future and past are not objective things they are subjective constructs.

I disagree. Past, present and future are all 100% time. The past was once the future and the present. The present was once the future and will be the past, The future will be the present and the past. Each one is 100 percent time all together at the same time. So how is that a convoluted illustration? Again, which word did you not understand.

Your challenge still stands, my ass. You can't acknowledge that you're wrong ever. That's called being a sociopath.

Well I would tend to oppose the Trinity on the grounds that it is contrary to scripture.

I respectfully disagree. There are a boat load of explicit scriptures stating that 3 [Father, Jesus and the Holy Ghost] are God in the scriptures

Snare&racket - Explaining how three gods can be one.....

1. A silly analogy.... "Water can be a liquid, gas or a solid and god can be god, man and spirit." The resson an analogy is reauired, not becaue the listener is intellectually challenged and requires help, but the point being made is so illogical, irrational and unproven an analogy is required to distract away from the original issue.

It's not 3 gods being one. It's one God in three persons and the Church says that it is a mystery that cannot be understood...acknowledged.

Your analogy of water is incorrect.. Water in liquid, gas and solid is what Cofty alluded to when he wrote of Modalism. Isn't that right Cofty?

I'm not replying here to convert you or anyone else. I am just replying to the opening topic about 'Who is the Lord'.

JW answers got treated quite poorly [in my mind] by Cofty and his same ol same ol.

News flash Cofty. The trinity cannot be explained as there is nothing to compare to God. You keep saying how 'I challenge anyone to do it' Then you boost of how no one can. DUHHH, no kidding, but you wear it like you're a genius. You're not, you're just another bully picking on anyone who doesn't think the way you do.

Still didn't answer if the bible says Jesus and/or the Holy Ghost is God. Can't ever acknowledge a mistake can you pal?

On another note, What's wrong with my analogy of time being in 3 states but always time, always agreeing and never contradicting? Which heresy am I promoting?

You won't answer, you'll just rant about something else that promotes your high opinions of your own beliefs.

Cofty, I don't know when I'll learn... to ignore your ignorance..lol!!!

Where did you learn about the heresy of Modalism? HMM?

Oh, right, the Catholic church defined that as a heresy just like they did against most all JW beliefs many centuries ago.

You should re read what you think you know about Modalism. That is the erroneous belief that God takes different forms at different times. IE-He is the Father today, he is the Holy Ghost tonight, He is Jesus in the morning. That's Modalism. My analogy of time is not Modalism. RIght now there is a past, a present and a future. Not replacing one with another, they are all happening right now.

Of course,, I acknowledge that there is no analogy that can describe God, so why don't you just answer the question of the topic post.

Does the bible say that Jesus is Lord?

Let me know what word you don't understand and I'll try to clarify...hahaha, what a bully you are buddy!

TTWSYF

Well, first off, I go to the source for interpreting the scriptures. Like it [or not] the New testament is a Catholic book. They put it together, they protected it through the centuries, they used it in their liturgy and told YOU that it is the word of God. They did all of that and they know what it means more than any JW, Baptist, Unitarian, Mormon Calvinist or any other Johnny come lately Christian that thought they knew better.

Sorry, but that's the truth guys....

Of course, the Father is Lord, but also Jesus is Lord. The scriptures are quite clear and explicit in stating that the Father is God, Jesus is God and the Holy Ghost is God.

The Hebrew scriptures always emphasize the 'oneness' of God. I always thought "How can Jesus and the Holy Spirit be God if God is one?"

The answer is in the Old Testament. In Hebrew there are 2 words for 'one' There is the singular 'one' like we use in English, but in Hebrew there is a plural 'one' that indicates the combining of more than one thing but is also described as 'one'

Yachid and Echad are the words in Hebrew and God is always described in the plural 'one' in Hebrew. Never in the singular.

God with us, in the flesh, just like the Hebrew scriptures prophesied.

Of course, it is impossible to have an accurate analogy to describe God as there is nothing like God. We, as human beings cannot really comprehend even the existence of a being that has no beginning or an end. So no analogy really works, but I think of the Godhead much like 'time'. Time has a PAST, a PRESENT and a FUTURE, All of these moments are 100% time, yet they are not the same, yet they all agree and have a place in relation to each other.

Who invented your faith?

by TTWSYF in

by some estimates there are up to 40,000 different christian religions.

everyone of them started by a man or a woman.. shakers {ann lee} , quakers [george fox], baptists [john smyth] , mormons [joseph smith] , jws {charles russell] etc, etc can all trace their history to a singular human.. all can do this except for one religion.

catholic church was started by jesus or the apostles or both?.

The Truth about the bible

by TTWSYF in

it really is common sense, but nobody here seems to recognize or acknowledge this blatant and obvious truth.. the holy bible is the result of the catholic liturgy.

they used these scriptures in their religious practices and confirmed which books would and would not be part of their cannon.

they picked, preserved and promoted these books and gave 'the word of god' to the world.. i know that pisses off some folks, but it is the truth [not the 'truth'tm].

TTWSYF

And worth mentioning that truth is where you find it. There is some truth in some paganism. Paganism, like all religions was the attempt of people to get closer to true spirituality. Looking and trying to figure out what works and doesn't work fumbling through the unknown and unseen.

imho anyway

To me it's kinda odd that the bible, which was confirmed around 380ish AD was the result of the Catholic worship as only a part of their faith is now the main form of worship for Christians like JWs who have their own interpretations of what it means, even if they don;t understand the history of where it came from, they do believe that it is the word of God. Thank you Catholic Church for clarifying that..lol
