  3 Gods Equal 1 God?

  by 7robert7 in

  2. friends

  as i sat back thinking of some of the discussions i've had with witnesses over the years, one always stands out.

  the issue of the trinity teaching, whereby father(jehovah), son(jesus), and holy spirit when combined equal one god.

  a witness friend from work once said that it was an impossability, and was beyond human understanding.. i asked him what he thought we believed about the trinity, to which he responded with a math lesson.. 1 jehovah god + 1 jesus god + 1 holy spirit god = 3 gods, he went on to state that 1 + 1 + 1 can never equal 1 god, it always equals 3. to which i added a little math lesson i learned as a child.. 1 jehovah god x 1 jesus god x 1 holy spirit god can equal 1 almighty god.

  vsecret939,

  I look at the Trinity as a formula. God the Father, Jesus the Son and the Holy Spirit or helper that Jesus said the Father would send in his name. John 14:26. I do not see the Trinity as three gods making up a godhead, but see it as three Divine beings working together as one.

  I do not think believing in the Trinity is an essential for having a relationship with God. Those that push the Trinity belief as an essential for salvation are as bad as the WT pushing the idea that you must be one of Jehovah's Witnesses to serve God properly.

  java,

  World History is just a fragment of what has transpired through time that has been recorded. History can also be altered just as the Bible has through time. Concepts of God are just that, concepts. What brings people together, peace, love, etc, when God is involved, is the relationship one has with God and those that share in the relationship. These are personal experiences that are not recorded in history, but are recorded in the heart and mind of the individual.

  Their God The Watchtower

  i am often confused by many of the double standards jdubs employ.

  they're always worried about how other jdubs view their actions.

  many of them say they won't do "such and such" because it would offend their god jehovah.

  bajarama,

  I agree with what larc said. Your family is breaking the rules a bit in order to still have contact.

  Fred,

  See the picture TR posts of you. Memorize it and accept your fate.

  How about some NEW dates!!

  as i`ve looked into the history of the wt society it has become glaringly obvious that one of the main reason for the growth of the.

  org.

  has been it`s fixation on the end of the world.

  I think the Society has ran it's course with the dating game. To extend the end of the world date up to 2030 would be a real heart wrencher for the older JWs expecting to see the end any day now. Their hopes have already been dashed as far as this century prediction. The WT has become a social gathering for the elderly. Many have spent most of their days preaching a lie and I know a few that are starting to realize this. The only thing that really keeps them in the WT is that they are to old to start over making new friends and believeing something else to replace their misguided faith.

  Proverbs 13:12 Expectation postponed is making the heart sick, but the thing desired is a tree of life when it does come. (NWT)

  File lawsuit or not?

  when i moved my family after leaving the jehoagies schmitnesses, i changed my phone number, and made sure it was unlisted.

  little did i know that i would soon be receiving a call out of the blue from a jw.. now, this was a woman that i had worked with at one time and we were pretty good friends, so a few years later, when she called, i was kind of glad to hear from her.

  the problem was, how did she get my phone number.

  Maybe you should write their names and phone numbers on a few undesirable bathroom walls.

  Seriously, you may give it a shot and try to sue. If anything, the woman who dug into your records may get fired from her job or at least repremanded. I am sure as all good JWs do, they will lie out their teeth to cover their hide on this.

  Yahweh as Savior

  Isaiah 43:3&11
  Isaiah 63:8
  Luke 1:47
  1 Timothy 4:10

  Jesus as Savior

  Matthew 1:21
  Luke 2:11
  John 1:29
  Titus 2:13
  Hebrews 5:9

  So, how many Saviors do we have? Yahweh say's besides him there is no Savior! Is Yahweh lieing? According to the New Testament he is, unless....................it is best to use the mind God gave you and draw your own conclusions.

  The video came out in 1988. For the time, it was the best video out exposing the WT. Something needs to be produced that is more updated. I have donated several videos to libraries and churches as well as have this video playing on the local cable station in my city. It reaches over 25000 homes. The video has played regularly for over 5 years now.

  The best way to keep the Watchtowers lies from spreading is by informing the public as to what the WT is about. There are just to many ignorant people out there that do not have a clue as to what the WT really is about, as well as most religions.
