Quote Yet your organization changes “kurios” to Jehovah!Each of your Bible's in Gateway has removed God's name (the tetragrammaton) from those Bible's roughly 7000 times each.They have changed God's name to “LORD.”Yet, you say that we have changed “lord” to Jehovah.I think you need to do some more research.There are hundreds of quotes in the NT…[Read more]

Quote Well John 1:1 is strong evidence in support of the trinityYes, “Properly understood, John 1:1 is very strong evidence in support the trinity.”And I don’t believe John 1:1 is used (or rather should be used) as a proof text to support the trinity doctrine per se.”So, it's “very strong evidence to SUPPORT the trinity.”And it “should not be use…[Read more]

Quote No they were not all Trinitarians.Which ones weren't? Just out of curiosity.Quote LOL. You spent your whole post attacking the credibility and integrity of the hundreds of translators on Bible Gateway and BlueletterBible.com, with no evidence of your claims except a few scattered quotes, and you get upset because I go after the NWT I'm…[Read more]

God created free will. The one who became called “Satan” (resistor; opposer) and “devil” (slanderer) chose to use that free will badly.Just as a criminal isn't born a criminal but chooses that path, so it was with Satan.JAMES 1:14-15“But each one is tried by being drawn out and enticed by his own desire. Then the desire, when it has become f…[Read more]

Quote And what proof do you have in questioning the integrity of over 600 scholars? WJ. Read more closely. I'm not questioning the integrity of over 600 scholars. First, most of those scholars had nothing to do with translating John 1:1.Is 1:18 said:“Although some Greek scholars insist that the last two words should be rendered “a god” or “…[Read more]

Hi Mrs. IM4truth, back to your Babylon comment:The threat of painful retribution in the afterlife has counterparts in nearly every major world religion and in some minor ones as well. Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, Jains, and Taoists believe in a hell of one sort or another.WHEN DID PROFESSED CHRISTIANS ADOPT THE BELIEF IN HELLFIRE?Well after the…[Read more]

Quote I ask you to trace it's origin, through time, through Greece, to Babylon, I believe.Funny how Babylon the Great in general hold to this belief. What reproach they have brought upon our Father's name.–myself We own a Book called “THE TWO BABYLONS” By Alexander Hislop. Have you read it? Thank you for your Post.

Quote Q1) Can you explain how your notion that two divine beings existed “in the beginning” (i.e. pre-creation and before the advent of time) is compatible with biblical monotheism? Just noticed one of these questions that is apparently being avoided.Since Jehovah is eternal and had no beginning (Ps 90:2; Re 15:3), the Word’s being with God from…[Read more]

Hello All.I've been gone for a while.So, I see this thread is going nowhere as we all knew it would. The reason it is going nowhere and never will is that the scholars (Isaiah's and T8's) all agree that grammatically, this scripture can be translated various ways and really, there doesn't seem to be a perfect translation into English. So it…[Read more]

No Nick. Scripture rules. And the many scriptures that speak of God's JUSTICE,his LOVE, his WISDOM, mean very little to some.Some don't understand the word justice and haven't the faintest concept of love. Yet, scripture speaks of these attributes of God.Quote Did your God order the anihilation of the Amelekites? “anihilation.” Yes, he…[Read more]

I remember this one time, my son got involved in drugs and did some very bad things. So I lit him on fire.Looking back, it was the just, loving, wise thing to do. And how could a God that does similarly condemn me for it? That would be hypocritical. Anyway, none of this is based in fact. (I don't have a son, nor would I ever even consider…[Read more]

Quote I know a man who has offered $10,000 to anyone who can show him where in the Bible the scriptures speak of a triune God. Thousands have tried, but the man still has his money!!I am certain, and would bet 10,000 myself, if making money such a way was honest or not for greedy gain, that if you dropped a crate of Bibles into some village where…[Read more]

Quote Hi david,Is this why they refuse to serve? –Nick, 2 pages back.Why don't you go back in time and ask the earliest Christians why they refused to serve in the military, or the political arena?For myself, it's easier just to check the Bible and find the answer. But, for some, this is not enough. I would suggest a time machine.“Early C…[Read more]

Quote If you can prove me wrong then please try.I cannot prove you wrong. I can only prove that this belief is not in the Bible.If you think this is a belief from the Bible, as others do, could you please point to those scriptures that lead you to that conclusion.

Quote As a matter of fact, two JW's came to my door this morning and gave me the literature on the, “Follow the Christ” conventions that will be going on. What country are you from and when will this convention take place in your neck of the world?

John A. Lees asserted:”The earlier Protestant scholars usually identified Michael (the archangel) with the preincarnate Christ, finding support for their view, not only in the Juxtaposition of the ‘child’ and the archangel in Revelation 12, but also in the attributes ascribed to him in Dnl …”–John A.
