The unending and fruitless argument on Trinity

by Longlivetherenegades in

those who say they are christians or follow christianity needs .

1. father .

2. jesus .

It's interesting how both sides of the argument could use different Bible scriptures to prove their point.

What does that say about the Bible and its authors?

probably everyone else thought of this long ago, but i, being an "independent thunker" thunk of it just a coupla weeks ago.. we all know that since the year zero (on the fredfranzian calendar) the wtb&ts has defied archaeology and insisted that jerusalem was destroyed in 607 bce, even though the physical evidence shows that 587 bce is a more likely date.

in fact, the book "the gentile times reconsidered: have jehovah's witnesses been wrong all along about 607 bce?

" by carl olof jonsson and rud persson made this conversation public.. it is a difference of 20 years.

Scholar: The said scholar would like to help you but his understanding is that they wish to remain anonymous akin to the NWT Committee.

It is a very unscholarly practice to not list sources. As such, I, as a skeptical reader, will assume that those that you claim are "celebrated scholars" are thus neither "celebrated", nor "scholars".

You, "Scholar" sir, are a fraud and a phony.

You are engaging on this "apostate" forum against the direction of your proclaimed religious authority.

You are surely engaging over at the JWTalk website as well, also against the direction of your proclaimed religious authority.

I bet you are likely considered "spiritually weak" in your own congregation, a perpetual drag on the elders burdened with the headache of dealing with your lack of commitment to the org's protocols and procedures.

You are neither cold nor warm, here nor there. You are lukewarm. (Revelation 3:6)

Scholar: "Celebrated WT scholars have long championed the date 607 BCE"

Could you please list the the names of these "Celebrated WT Scholars"?

God, one person, or three?

by slimboyfat in

the trinity doctrine says god is three persons in one being.. yet the bible says god is one.. gal 3.20 a mediator, however, implies more than one party; but god is one.

niv.

gal 3.20 now a mediator is not for just one person, but god is one.

Yes, and no. Depending on what scripture you choose.

A simple rebuttal to the recent 'Last Minute Repentance' change.

by nicolaou in

for decades, critics have pointed out the unfairness of god slaughtering billions in a future armageddon who never even met a jw much less heard their life-saving message.

(remember the contortions around the collective responsibility of nations?

) also, why do babies and children have to die simply because their parents rejected the witnesses?

Sanchy

What I am wondering is how happenstance could possibly provide atheists with ANY notion of universal evil?

Well, we certainly didn't get our notion of good and evil from the Bible God considering his notion is contradictory and hypocritical. So, we can scratch that explanation off the list.
