    The necessity of the Trinity

    What I know is you want me to believe you and not the scriptures. When Jesus was making his Father's name known to his Apostles Jesus didn't say he was the Father. The True God is The Father and God of Jesus. The scriptures continue to show us that even after Jesus had died been resurrected and...

    The necessity of the Trinity

    It is evident that the Tetragrammaton in Hebrew characters (יהוה) was used in both the Hebrew text and the Greek Septuagint. Therefore, whether Jesus and his disciples read the Scriptures in either Hebrew or Greek, they would come across the divine name. In the synagogue at Nazareth, when Jesus...

    The necessity of the Trinity

    Jesus isn't YAHWEH. People are always trying to say Jesus is God, he isn't. You either believe YAHWEH sent his Only-Begotten Son who was given the name Jesus when a man or you don't believe that. John 3:16 says God(YAHWEH) sent his only-begotten son to the world, it doesn't say God(YAHWEH) sent...

    The necessity of the Trinity

    Nowhere in Matthew 3:16,17 is there a doctrine that says there are three persons making one God. Nowhere in this scripture does it say all three are equal. Jesus said that “the true worshipers will worship the Father with . . . truth.” (John 4:23) That truth has been recorded in the Bible...

    The necessity of the Trinity

    A careful study of God’s Word and Christ’s teachings shows that only a limited number share the privilege of being born again, born ‘from water and from spirit,’ thus to share heavenly rulership with Christ. (John 3:3-5;Romans 8:16, 17; Revelation 14:1-3) The “great crowd” of true Christians...

    The necessity of the Trinity

    You get your knowledge about God from the scriptures and I haven't seen a trinity doctrine in the scriptures. Men established the trinity doctrine, but what men established isn't in the scriptures. As long as the scriptures say, he that denies the Father and the Son is an anti- Christ that's...

    The necessity of the Trinity

    Nowhere in the scriptures does it say that you have to believe The True God to be a trinitarian God in order to be saved.

    The necessity of the Trinity

    You judge all you want, but I don't believe you to be God or his Only begotten Son and no matter how much you judge you're just a imperfect person like everyone else and your judging is imperfect

    The necessity of the Trinity

    while I agree that the Holy Spirit helps us to understand the truths regarding The True God and the one God sent Jesus Christ, John 17:3 doesn't say When Jesus was praying, this is eternal life that they know thee The True God and the one whom you sent Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. As I...

    The necessity of the Trinity

    yeah because people say Jesus wasn't clear when he said John 17:3. I know people make mistakes, I expect that to happen. Most other people, other than Jehovah's Witnesses seem to think they're infallible when it comes to the scriptures. Me I grew up in the Baptist and Pentecostal church and I...

    The necessity of the Trinity

    I believe John 17:3 is self explanatory, Jesus was very clear. He said nothing about a third person, but of course imperfect people seem to think they know better than him. If a third person was necessary in order to to gain eternal life I believe Jesus would've made that clear in this scripture.

    we don't have denominations like Christendom does. we meet in buildings called kingdom halls of Jehovah's witnesses. If a kingdom Hall was like located on Hartley bridge road the people who meet there (congregation) might be called Hartley bridge congregation you know like that, but in each...

    I could care less what someone thinks about Jehovah's witnesses. Like I said many of the people who are not Jehovah's witnesses will say the most horrible things about them. The authorities of Jesus days didn't believe he was sticking to scripture. I've read 1 Corinthians 12, have you really? 1...

    Easter

    Jehovah witnesses do teach all nation's. They go door to door witnessing about the kingdom. In fact they are known worldwide for witnessing and teaching people of the nations about the kingdom Jesus is King of. You think the nation's listen, no they don't. There are those they find in the...

    Easter

    Yes I put what scripture shows me over what men say. The pharisees and saddusees were the religious authorities of Jesus days. I don't think listening to them over Jesus would have been a good idea. Jesus and the Apostles told us that when they left an apostasy would develope. That means in our...

    Easter

    But you think it's ok that you and these Protestant scholars say to be more important than what God shows us in his scripture. As I said before I will agree with anyone if I believe what they say agrees with scripture, but I'm not going to apologise to anyone for putting scripture first. People...

    Easter

    You think I don't know what other people think about what I believe. I care what scripture shows me and yet none of what these Protestant scholars say convinces me they're right in what they say. They have a right to believe as they wish but I don't have to agree with everything they say or...
