Quote (thethinker @ May 13 2010,08:46)David asked:Quote So my question: If the Spirit were an individual co-equal with the Father and the Son, how is it that these 3 did not include him?David,Your argument from silence is weak. WJ has already provided statements from scripture which do speak of the three together including the Spirit. By your…[Read more]

Quote (thethinker @ May 13 2010,08:38)David,The distinctions in the verses you give are not cardinal but ordinal.Hi Thinker,It doesn't matter how many five dollar words you use, or how much you try to “pretty it up”. All those Scriptures showed Paul talking of two persons. Only one of those persons is God. The other person is one who is not…[Read more]

Bump for WJHi WJ,I have asked you what exactly Matt 28:19 means to you.  You played word games and said I have a comprehension problem.  So I clarified my question as plain as I possibly could have, and what do you decide to answer to?  This other post to Paul.Where's the answer to the question I've had to ask 4 different ways?  Where's the ans…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ May 13 2010,06:31)The definition of a Trinity is what Jesus speaks of in the fullest since of the word, since he speaks of three separate identities with the definite article and a singular name or authority that the Apostles were to baptize into. There is nothing in the verse that implies inequality with the three. Also…[Read more]

Quote (david @ May 12 2010,18:58)Well, it's not really clear from the above scriptures that “every” NT writer knew that only one being is God, because all those scriptures were from Paul.But, of course, James, Peter and John had similar expressions in their greetings.Hi David,Agreed. That's why I said it was evident from greetings and closing…[Read more]

Quote (Lightenup @ May 12 2010,14:42)That word “which” is written in the singular, neuter form and is a pronoun for a singular neuter noun.  The only single neuter noun in either verse, 11 or 12, is “name.”  Ta da!  No more confusion for you Mike   If what was given Jesus was people or men, then the pronoun would have been masculine and plu…[Read more]

Quote (Lightenup @ May 12 2010,17:32)Mike,Is 52:9 the bared Arm is not Cyrus.  The bared Arm is the salvation of God…the Son.Hi Kathi,I disagree.  I think it is very clear to see.9 Become cheerful, cry out joyfully in unison, YOU devastated places of Jerusalem, for Jehovah has comforted his people; he has repurchased Jerusalem. 10 Jehovah has b…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ May 12 2010,07:25)On that note, you still have not explained how if Jesus possesses ALL things and has ALL Authority and Power, that he is not equal to the Father in “Authority and Power”?Hi WJ,Question #1.  When we are done with it, I will answer another that you ask.If Jesus posesses ALL Power and Authority, then he…[Read more]

Hi WJ,You said:Quote Happy Granddad #13. Congrats! You said:Quote Anyway I have read your rebuttal on the JWs NWT corruption and find it amusing to say the least. Did you get all that stuff from Watchtower?No, from reading the Greek.  Does it matter?  Please rebut them one Scripture at a time, so we can actually get to the heart of something.  …[Read more]

Quote (SimplyForgiven @ May 12 2010,09:35)I kind of don't understand how this works, because to me it seems to be Christian antagonizing Christians… or I might be wrong.  Or believing in the Trinity or not, or Christian vs. lukewarm.  To be honest I just don’t understand.   I'm hoping to understand the intentions and the position of the brot…[Read more]

Hi Kathi,I forgot….is the finger of God also Jesus in your opinion? Or just the arm?peace and love,mike

Hi all,I agree with David that the kingdom of God is a physical kingdom.  IMO, it exists in heaven right now, and will later be brought to earth in the form of New Jerusalem.  That is why we pray for His kingdom to come (to earth) and His will to be done on earth – as it already is done in heaven.If it only exists inside of those who are r…[Read more]

Hi David,Great post!   I agree with you that it will probably not be one of the ones WJ “picks and chooses” to answer. I have one more point to add, if I may:Why in New Jerusalem will there only be two thrones for members of the godhead?  There is one for the Father and one for the Son.  Where is the throne of the third equal member of the go…[Read more]
