  God, Jesus, & Holy Spirit - never mentioned together in one authentic verse.

  by BoogerMan in

  2. bible

  in every scripture where god & jesus appear, the holy spirit is always awol/mia.. probably explains the existence of binitarians..

  Trinity doctrine: "And in this Trinity none is before, or after another; none is greater, or less than another. But the whole three Persons are coeternal, and coequal."
  

  If the 3 are coequal, (& God) why do people only have to get to know 2 of them, and not all three?

  John 17:3: "Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent."

  If they're all equal, (& God) how can someone be forgiven for slandering one of them, but not the other?

  Matthew 12:32: "Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come."

  Curious.

  humza yousaf, scotland's first minister, said: "scotland, i'm afraid, is suffering because we are not independent.

  " https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-66012834.

  try telling that to scotland's tourists and many island communities: the ferry services are dying month by month, and the two new overdue & over-budget ferries justify a serious legal/criminal enquiry.. any bunch of incompetents who can't provide a small country with a ferry service and a legally binding contract to build 2 new boats - having controlled scotland since 2007 - has no credibility in claiming they could run a country!.

  The SNP has set up a network of nine international offices worldwide to promote "Scottish" interests overseas and strengthen its relationships with countries and continents. These offices are located in:

  • Beijing

  • Berlin

  • Brussels

  • Copenhagen

  • Dublin

  • London

  • Ottawa

  • Paris

  • Washington DC

  https://www.gov.scot/policies/international-relations/

  I didn't know that LONDON was overseas!

  These "offices" are costing the Scottish taxpayer nearly £7m per year. That money could be used to pay for things/services which Scots really need, rather than promoting the SNP's dreams.

  Yet to see or receive any noticeable benefits.

  "Regaining control of our borders" and "sovereignty" (N.I.) don't appear to have played out as promised.

  @ SBF + any other "independence" believers:

  I'm totally against the "independence" mob whose extremists perpetually use the "hate/blame the English" agenda as the cause of any/all of every problem north of Hadrian's wall.

  The "Braveheart" language used to delude Scots into wanting to split from the UK is vented ad nauseam - "We'll take control of our own future, we can make our own decisions, we can rule ourselves like Norway, we won't be subservient to England," etc. etc. etc. Swapping London rule for Brussel's rule will do all this? 😂😂😂

  I have yet to hear hard & fast answers from any "independence" supporter as to how me and my household would be economically & socially better off, what currency would Scotland have to create/adopt, will there be a hard border with England, how will Scotland's enormous welfare payments, free Health Service, prescriptions, university education, & bus travel for under 22's be financed, not to mention defence of its new borders?

  Isn't the SNP conflicted between being a NATO member and telling England it doesn't want nuclear weapons in Scotland? How will that work?

  Not to mention, the SNP can't tell the Scottish police where £600,000 of donations have gone.

  Scotland is suffering because of the SNP.

  @ Nicalaou - according to the info, the combined prosecutions of retailers who broke the law gathered less cash in total than the maximum fine allowed for one offender! Not much of a deterrent.

  May as well make the penalty for armed robbery a £250 fine.

  Change the law to "persuade" shopkeepers to comply - a mandatory £10,000 fine for 1st offence.

  @ FedUpJw - is that a snap of Anthony Morris 3rd at Coney Island beach?

  Paragraph 4, page 27: "We are surrounded by astute people who have no faith in the cult's predictions Bible prophecy. Opposers may mock us because we have cried wolf eagerly anticipated the end for over 140 many years." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

  How Do You Know You Are In The Wrong Religion?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i believe this list which many of us worked on needs to see the light of day again...and added to if possible.. you know you are in the wrong religion:1. when the all important question is not: "do you believe in the lord jesus christ?"....but....

  "do you believe in the "faithful and discreet slave" appointed in brooklyn in 1919?"2.

  when you will be refused baptism if: a. you don't believe jerusalem was destroyed in 607 bc (whereas all non-jw scholars, all encyclopedias and all history books say this event took place in 587 bc.)b.

  "How do you know you are in the wrong religion?"

  When the biggest common denominator applies to them - money!!!!!

  If God Almighty/Jesus Christ desperately require your hard earned cash to "pay for the gospel to be spread," it's time to head for the exit.

  The 2 witnesses & the angel in midheaven will share the good news for free. No need for JW's - or others.
