Quote You say that while Matt 28:19 doesn’t prove a trinity, it proves that Jesus mentioned a trinity. What? If it doesn’t actually prove your trinity, then all it proves is that Jesus was capable of mentioning three things in one sentence. –Mike.WJ, other people get this.

Why doesn’t the writer mention the Father –WJWell if we look at the whole Bible for a moment….In the Bible, do we ever hear of the “holy spirit's Jesus” as though Jesus was a possession of the holy spirit?In the Bible, do we ever hear of the “holy spirit's God” as though God were a possession of t…[Read more]

And what of the scriptures?DANIEL 2:44““And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin.

Quote The Witnesses are sure they have the truth. I agree with them on most Scriptural issues, not all. But they never have the attitude of “We have it, you can't have it”. –Mike.Mike, please do not be drawn in by Gene.

Although Paul mentions 35 names in his letter to the Romans and sends greetings by name to 26, why does he fail to mention Peter? Simply because Peter was not there at the time! (Rom. 16:3-15)All the ACTUAL evidence points to Peter never being in Rome. There is no ACTUAL evidence he was. Rather, there is evidence AGAINST IT. If calling Babylon…[Read more]

I dont know. I'm sleepy and as you said, my sentence doesn't make sense. But it was a compliment… I think. I see your point. That is confusing.

SF, you will go through several stages of frustration with Nick. Many break down and go insane or are eventually thrown off this forum because of bad behavior, that I think Nick was the origin of.

Quote And you mentioned water and blood and the holy spirit all being impersonal? You are very wrong my friend. Water is the one ingredient in this world that is necissary for life.
