Quote Also having them under one roof (so to speak) will likely mean fewer new discussions based on the Trinity.Quote You may be right but there are multiple threads on the Holy Spirit, baptism etc too. This has always sort of been something that I found frustrating, the growing number of similar threads. I guess there's nothing that you can…[Read more]

No offence MTAA, but you are not Michael the Archangel. Why call yourself this?Secondly, you have created a few threads on Michael the Achangel. I don't know that this subject deserves this many threads. This specific thread won't go very far. It will just add to the mass of threads we already have, making it harder to find other threads.I'm…[Read more]

What Nick said.Also,Women, spoken of as “daughters” and “women slaves” in Joel’s prophecy, were among those receiving the gifts of holy spirit on the day of Pentecost 33 C.E. From that day forward the Christian women who were favored with these gifts talked in foreign tongues that they had not understood before, and they ‘prophesi…[Read more]

“Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.”I don't understand where art thou in thine matter H. It seems unto thy, that thou doesn't understand that thy can't comprehend “thou's” and “thy's”.We don't use a lot of the words in old english anymore. The Bible is meant to be understood. Yes?

Quote The Kingdom is inside us. Do not let the Devil make you think the Kingdom is your denomination, or this so-called church or that one. The kingdom is inside you if you are born-again of the Spirit of God.T8, isn't the God's kingdom a government run by a king? Is a government inside us? It's true that Jesus said to the PHARASEES that the…[Read more]

Kenrch, you seem to use quotes in a way no one else does. Just wondering what your purpose was adding the above quote that you did?

Definitely.As the threads grow, it's becoming more and more hard to find things. Conversations overlap. As the core of this site is about the trinity, it might as well have it's own section in the posting area.david

H, I am wondering what your responce is to my previous post:Quote These are five things I’ve come across with regards to the KJV. Don’t get me wrong. It’s one of my favorites. It’s old and popular and has a certain feel to it. But there are certain things I have to mention only because it's been repeatedly stated that the KJV is infalli…[Read more]

Quote How could this Angel of the LORD be God when no one has seen God?As Nick says, it's an angel (literally “messenger”) of the Lord (or “Jehovah” KJV, compare ps 83:18)So I'm not sure what problem or question you are raising.david

Quote Hi,the JWs are bound together by fear. Their teachings say that only 144,000 will be saved and these are only from among the Witnesses. Now if more that 144,000 witnesses are walking the earth right now how safe would it be from their perspective to even question one of their “sacred” teachings? Nick, where did I or any JW ever say that only…[Read more]

Quote he JWs certainly have one of the obvious traits of her Mother The Catholic church they too are the only true church and IF you don't join them then you're doomed. Isn't that right David?It IS funny that though NO denominations are allowed David and the Witnessess ARE Hi KENRCH,Didn't the early Christians believe they had the only right…[Read more]

Hello Oneway,There is a whole thread on 1 John 5:7 in the “bible discussions” section.Basically, the latter part of that scripture “these three are one” has absolutely no right being in any Bible. Newer translations don't include it. It was added to support the trinity. It shouldn't be there.Your point on this scripture:Acts2:32 “This Jesus God…[Read more]

“Much confusion and misunderstanding has been caused through the early translators of the Bible persistently rendering the Hebrew Sheol and the Greek Hades and Gehenna by the word hell. The simple transliteration of these words by the translators of the revised editions of the Bible has not sufficed to appreciably clear up this confusion and m…[Read more]

Sorry, forgot to mention this which has also bothered me and confused others from time to time:The King James Version rendered she’ohl´ as “hell,” “the grave,” and “the pit”; hai´des is therein rendered both “hell” and “grave”; ge´en·na is also translated “hell.” So, sometimes sheohl is “hell” and sometimes “the grave,” and sometimes the “pi…[Read more]

Kenrch,Quote The JWs know all the definitions of every word in the bible and they still don't have the truth.If we don't “have” the truth, at least we know what it is then, based on what you said. We have all the definitions of every word. “Truth” is in the Bible. So we know what truth is. (I know this isn't really on topic, but it made me…[Read more]

The word day has a number of meanings:–24 hour period–period from sunrise to sunset (see gen 1:5)–a period of influence or an epochIn Gen 2:4, we notice something interesting. All seven days are lumped together into “the day that Jehovah God made earth and heaven.”This day encompasses the other days. That's odd. Well, it would be odd if…[Read more]

Quote Could well be so.One thing I have noticed however and haven't heard anyone mention thus far is:In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.Who is to say that God wasn't doing stuff for thousands or millions of years here?exactly.

Obviously not. But is someone who writes a book about themselves petty to include their own name? The book after all is about them, right? If the book teaches us about the person and it doesn't even include their name, how much are we really going to know about them?The Bible is inspired of God. It is God's Word. And God's name is in the…[Read more]

Trinitarian:Because even though they apparently knew all about it, they only hinted at it. Someone else:So maybe we should only hint at it and never ever speak of it directly–like they apparently did.Trinitarian:No, the trinity is very important. It is who God is. And everyone should know.Someone confused:So why wouldn't God make it more…[Read more]

I thought I would add something Epistlemaniac said in anther thread. Something he calls the genetic fallacy. I've come across it being used myself from time to time.”This is to commit the Genetic Fallacy; to say that something is automatically false based on its origin is simply irrational.”In other words:1. I believe the Catholic religon as a…[Read more]
