Hi Tim, I used to go to a Catholic Church and then bounced over to a United Methodist church and then bounced over to a Baptist church but there were a lot of unanswered questions I would have about the Bible and I was tired of hearing a Pastor tell me some things are suppose to remain a mystery. Thats when I went out and did my own researching on Biblical history because everytime a trinitarian said Jesus Christ and God and the Holy spirit are all 3 but 1 (like an egg) I would get a bad stomach pain. So I talked to ex-trinitarians and learned some interesting facts but I wasn't going to take their word for it. I had to find out for myself. Along with my postings I am leaving just one or two references to start up anyone interested in discovering the truth on their own and not to take my word for it. Yes I have talked to Jehovah's witnesses also and they have great knowledge of the Bible. They are strict and very disciplined. If I belonged to Jehovah's witnesses I would be forbidden to even to talk in this chat room. I consider myself just a christian searching for facts and will not settle for anything less. When you have been brought up your whole life and taught certain things and to find out its the complete opposite of what we are being told! Because most people get in their comfort zone and don't care to seek the truth. Do you think God will forgive us for ignorance and laziness especially when it comes to his Word? Hasn't it ever crossed your mind why most of the Holidays we celebrate today involving Christ is led back in history to PAGANISM? |

I am sorry that people did such a bad job of explaining the explaining the Trinity. The egg analogy does not work just like every other analogy falls short. A skilled and knowledgeable individual should have taken the Bible and shown you why the early church concluded (correctly) that God exists eternally as one being and three persons. Jehovah's Witnesses have a great knowledge of the teachings of the Watchtower Society, and they have been trained to use Bible passages to proof-text what they have been told. They are indeed dedicated to training themselves to communicate their message, but since most do not study the Bible independently of what their Watchtower magazines and "Bible study" books tell them to look up, they are not a real match for someone who knows Christian doctrine well. I have in my own library "Reasoning From the Scriptures," which is basically their quick reference guide to tell them what to say should an individual respond with a particular question. I would disagree with the statement that they know the Bible well; I would sadly agree that they are more familiar with some of its contents than many professing Christians. "Do you think God will forgive us for ignorance and laziness especially when it comes to his Word?" I think God is extremely displeased with Christians who do not know the Scriptures, who do not take the time to know what the Bible says and teaches. You wrote: "Hasn't it ever crossed your mind why most of the Holidays we celebrate today involving Christ is led back in history to PAGANISM?" Actually, this is not accurate. While the Christian holidays are celebrated on the same days as many Roman pagan festivals, this was not a capitulation to the pagans as much as it was a conquering of them. In other words, Christmas is celebrated at the same time as Saturnalia to demonstrate Christendom's vanquishing of paganism, much as the conquistadors of the New World tore down Aztec temples and built churches on top of them. Christmas was never Saturnalia in disguise. Easter is not a celebration of Ishtar in disguise. Both represent the supplanting of one belief system with another. --Joe! |

Dear Joe: Actually, this is not accurate. Constatine "created" holidays in an effort to apease his pagan friends, and trying to not offend his new found religion Christianity, he blended paganism and Christianity. These holidays were neither established nor ordained of G*d. The Holy Convocation's of G*d are found in Leviticus:23. These are the Holy days that Yeshua (Jesus) observed. I like when people say WWJD, I say Look What Jesus Did. I prefer to follow the example our savior set and not the example of a converted pagan. | ||||||
