“Truly this man was the Son of God”. Are these your words?

Yes they most certainly are. I didn’t know about the reciting the 1st verse of a Psalm tradition. That certainly gives Jesus words even more meaning

This was my thinking that first got me to question the trinity.  If Jesus was God then how could he have been tempted by Satan because no matter what test Satan brought against him there would be no way that he could’ve given in to temptation. That would make it no actual test at all.

The one thing I appreciate about having been a JW is that they taught me that the trinity wasn’t true. I disagree with their belief that Jesus is Michael the Archangel due to Hebrews 1:8 though.

Yes that worked thanks heaps. I previously just entered https://heavennet.net & it automatically picked up the sitewide feed with no option of any other to choose from. I need to have all the blogs I visit in my RSS Reader otherwise my 55yo brain would never remember them all.

I was already a Christian for 10 years prior to becoming a JW. As such I had been taught & believed all the regular orthodox beliefs/doctrines. It was many of their basic teachings that I felt were scripturally correct that convinced me that they were the true religion that they claim to be. 20 years later I no longer agree with so much of what…[Read more]

@Admin  I can really related to what you said in your reply to David “But die hard religious people who do not question get all upset about it.”

I’m left the Jehovah’s Witnesses 2 months ago after being part of it for the past 20 years. By asking sincere questions about certain doctrines because I genuinely felt they were at odds with scripture…[Read more]
