Thank you. Your denomination is a cult that originated in the 1800's.
Not in year 1, thousands of years prior, nor in 33 A.D.

Delusional? Yes, it is
You must have missed Gods view of a cult-the only view that counts= A house divided( hundreds of trinity religions) will not stand= a mass of confusion. They cannot even understand this simple bible milk that is a true mark=1Cor 1:10-Unity of thought( All OF Gods 1 truth) no division. 10 year olds can understand-No Division, but trinity religions cannot. Why? A lack of holy spirit is why. The JW,s pass 1Cor 1:10-100%--You should run from the darkness while you still can.

I think you make the mistake of thinking all Christians are Trinitarians.

Thank you. Your denomination is a cult that originated in the 1800's.
I wonder who told you that? Do you know if the consensus of the majority is always accurate? Was it so in Jesus' day? (Acts 28:22)

Actually Jehovah has always had his witnesses....Jesus has always been a witness for Jehovah (Rev 3:14) and Israel too were Jehovah's witnesses, (Isaiah 43:10) so we've been in existence for a very long time. A "witness" is someone who gives testimony that something is true......that cannot possibly pertain to an apostate religious system, corrupted many centuries ago and teaching things that Jesus never mentioned.

It was prophesied in Daniel that God would "cleanse, whiten and refine" a people in this time of the end....(Daniel 12:10) so it is to be expected that the true witnesses of Jehovah would be in evidence just before the time of the end began in 1914.
If there was no need of a 'cleansing, whitening and refining', why would God say that he would need to do that at this time in history?

When Jesus comes to 'separate the sheep from the goats', he knows the ones he "never knew"...those who were not obeying Christ, but observing the traditions of men, taught as though they were scripture....but people never check...sadly, they just believe whatever they are told.
Not in year 1, thousands of years prior, nor in 33 A.D.
In the first century Jesus sowed the "wheat", but both he and the apostles foretold that men would corrupt Christianity and "weeds" would be sown in the same field.....these would lead the people off after themselves and onto a broad and spacious road that leads to a dead end. (Matt 7:13-14) Its an easy road that does not make demands on people so they are happily sailing along like all is well.....conversely, the wheat are on a very cramped road with a narrow gate....it's hard going because the devil would make sure that the true Christians would suffer as Jesus did....with false accusations, character assassination, lies and innuendo, (Matt 5:11-12; John 15:18-21) that made the people believe that he was a fake Messiah, and a trouble maker deserving of death.
Delusional? Yes, it is
To someone who is deluded, the lies appear to be the truth.....the devil can do that....its called deception.

Do some study on church history and the origins of your own beliefs and see for yourself.....the truth is sometimes a hard pill to swallow.

I think you make the mistake of thinking all Christians are Trinitarians.
And you make the point that divisions occur in spite of what the Bible says....most who identify as "Christians" are trinitarians, but those who do not, still cant agree on a variety of topics. There is no such thing as a stand alone Christian.....if you do not have a brotherhood with who you agree 100%, and you meet regularly for worship, then your definition of a Christian is a little warped IMO.

....conversely, the wheat are on a very cramped road with a narrow gate
Really....show me where it says that in God’s Living word?

Please,please, quote scripture....not your words?

Matthew 7:14
Audio Crossref Comment Greek
Verse (Click for Chapter)
New International Version
But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

New Living Translation
But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.

English Standard Version
For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.

Berean Standard Bible
But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it.

The JWS doctrine is man made and heresy, they lead themselves through scripture....they are a cult unto themselves...


The Living Word of God is truth...as we see here.....and the Holy Spirit will have no other god’s before him.
The Holy Spirit bears witness to my spirit of God’s truth!.
Anything other than the word of God, is a LIE.

Walking by the Spirit
(Ezekiel 36:16–38; Galatians 5:16–26)
1Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.a2For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set youb free from the law of sin and death. 3For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful man, as an offering for sin.c He thus condemned sin in the flesh, 4so that the righteous standard of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
5Those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh; but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. 6The mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace,7because the mind of the flesh is hostile to God: It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 8Those controlled by the fleshd cannot please God.
9You, however, are controlled not by the flesh, but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. AND IF ANYONE DOES NOT HAVE THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST , HE DOES NOT BELONG TO CHRIST . 10But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alivee because of righteousness. 11And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the deadf will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you.
Heirs with Christ
12Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation, but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. 13For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
15For you did not receive a spirit of slavery that returns you to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” 16The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. 17And if we are children, then we are heirs: heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ—if indeed we suffer with Him, so that we may also be glorified with Him.
Future Glory
(2 Corinthians 5:1–10)
18I consider that our present sufferings are not comparable to the glory that will be revealed in us. 19The creation waits in eager expectation for the revelation of the sons of God. 20For the creation was subjected to futility, not by its own will, but because of the One who subjected it, in hope 21that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.
22We know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until the present time. 23Not only that, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. 24For in this hope we were saved; but hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he can already see? 25But if we hope for what we do not yet see, we wait for it patiently.
26In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know how we ought to pray, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans too deep for words. 27And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
God Works in All Things
(Ephesians 1:3–14)
28And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose. 29For those God foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers. 30And those He predestined, He also called; those He called, He also justified; those He justified, He also glorified.
31What then shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32He who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also, along with Him, freely give us all things? 33Who will bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. 34Who is there to condemn us? For Christ Jesus, who died, and more than that was raised to life, is at the right hand of God—and He is interceding for us.
More than Conquerors
(Psalm 44:1–26)
35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36As it is written:
“For Your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”g
37No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I think it is because they've been misled to think of three separate and distance persons as The Father,Son and Holy Ghost, because their pastors are continuing in their own misunderstanding so to carry that error forth.

And maybe because they don't think in context of the OT. God there is described as Spirit, and Holy. Holy Spirit.

Jesus was The Word,God,made flesh. The Son of God was God.

All scripture taken in context tells us there is no Trinity referred to in scripture.

Being Baptized in the name of Jesus, Acts 2:38.
In Matthew 28, Jesus was identifying all that pertained to God from the OT scriptures when referring to God the Father and Holy Spirit.

God is a Spirit and we must worship in Spirit.
