  Mr. Snowbird and I Are Reconciling

  we've agreed to compromise on our differences and support each other through the years we have left.. i'm seeing a psychiatrist today to deal with my difficulties that stem from a traumatic and tumultuous childhood.. he is willing to yield in his beliefs that a man should control everything and make all the decisions.. being a stubborn jamaican, i realize how hard that is for him.. we're going to renovate the house so that he has his own quarters.. that way, my boisterous g'kids won't work his nerves too badly.. just wanted to put it out there.. syl.

  The end is approaching... of the financial infrastructure as we know it...

  Russia is building phenomenol hydro-electric dams and supply China with enough energy to fuel its emerging Economy... India is surging in financial strength, as the West (including the U.S) is running out of oil

  It is all about regime change... the Arab Spring.. the dodgy futures market...

  The end of the CURRENT economic system is upon us... just another fierce game of Tennis..

  We are perched on the side lines, biting our finger nails, will it be Fererer or Nadal... will it be Western Demoncracy or Chines Communism.

  In the UK we are preparing our Regional costumes, so that rich tourists can come and take photos of us as Welsh ladies in their hats spin their yarn and Morris dancers, dance round their Maypoles. UK industry has had it..

  Yup, the time is ripe for change...

  ... ah ha...

  If I found myself on a chaise longue in a house church in Galatia, I am male, I incline to the presentation of God as listed in the Hebrew Scriptures.

  I understand Monotheism only, look forward to the Messiah, upon whom are bestowed all the blessings of Kingship and Authority by his Heavenly Father. In my mind, I have accepted Jesus of Nazareth as the Son of God, the one begotten Son, who came and died for me...

  I then hear Paul (an eminent teacher amongst the Jews) warn of others preaching "another Gospel"... I would be highly suspicious of an agressive group of "so-called" brothers who tried to twist my relationship with Almighty God and The Christ into a triune Chaldean/Hellenic concept.

  Would you have me believe, that at the baptism of my Lord, the voice of his Father came from Heaven, a dove appeared above his head, and all these three presences were part of the same Personage. Come on, Essan...

  ..You know that is NOT the gospel.

  The twisting of written text appeared after the canon was compiled, paucity of koine Greek into English is to blame for much... and you are left with roughly 25 texts (I have offered to list them) that could possible read both ways.

  The overwhelming share of the Scriptures speak of Almighty God and the "Sent forth one" as separate beings.

  I offer you the poignant words of Paul in Galatians 1:8 again...

  I simply believe that if Jesus was Almighty God himself.... he and the Bible writers would have said so!

  In the absence of that statement we are left pussyfooting with koine Greek, searching for justification of a Theoretical Triune god that does not exist.

  Jesus is THE SON of God, begotten of his Father... made of the same stuff.

  Any Greeks around here? Paragalo

  I come from London, U.K. There is a whole circuit of Greek and Cypriot JW's in the North of the Capital. The JW's are well known in Greece, I believe they rank as second or third in religious group size in Greece and Cyprus.

  I wonder if there are any Greek/Cypriot Nationals on this forum to back up the "incorrect" translation of John 1:1 in the NWT.

  I think you will find that the Greek/Cypriot Nations are the best to explain ho'Theos in their own language. There is a difference in having the Nature of Almighty God and being Almighty God.

  Surely the Greek Scriptures writers would simply tidy up their script by being direct... what do I mean? "For God so loved the world that he came to..."

  Why not leave out the word WITH in John 1:1 for example...

  The Scriptures are written beautifully to distinguish between Almighty God and The Messiah, or Sent Forth One, who volunteered on our behalf and died for Us, and who was exalted. Almighty God and the Son of God are not the same.
