Well, posting Watchtower publications is not the same as posting "facts," I can assure you. It is also somewhat dishonest to copt and paste from a Watchtower publication and pass it off as your own writing. When my students do that, we have a word for it: plagiarism. As far as facts go, what do you think of the facts that I gave you regarding the historicity of the Trinity? Do you plan on ignoring that, or are you going to look at well-reasoned views opposing the Watchtower teachings? If you are truly searching for the truth, it will do you no good if you just but what the JW's say hook, line, and sinker. And speaking of the motivations of religious organizations, what do you think the motivation is behind the Watchtower deliberately leaving the writings of the ante-Nicene fathers out of their attack on the Trinity? Do you think that their motives are pure? They have much more of an organizational structure than the evangelical church in America does, so it can truly be said that accepting Watchtower teachings means green stuff for one particular organization. Did you know that many Watchtower teachings themselves have changed dramatically since the organizations' inception in the late 1800s? Did you know that they have financially ruined the lives of thousands of their followers by falsely predicting the end of the world no less than four times in the last century, leading many of their followers to sell everything and go on the door-to-door circuit full time? Watchtower teachings on the Trinity have been answered time and time again by many notable scholars of the Bible, including the one whose book I referenced for you before. So what has the Watchtower said about the facts that I have posted this weekend? Why don't you ask them? After all, are you just going to buy into what someone tells you just because they seem to know the Bible? Or are you going to check out the best arguments from both sides for yourself? --Joe! |

TRINITY, Hi Joe, here is a verse from the Bible you can think about. 1Timothy 4:1-3 However, the inspired utterance says definately that in later periods of time some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to misleading inspired utterances and teachings of Demons, by the hypocrisy of men who speak lies, marked in their conscience as with a branding iron; FORBIDDING TO MARRY, COMMANDING TO ABSTAIN FROM FOODS WHICH GOD CREATED TO BE PARTAKEN OF WITH THANKSGIVING BY THOSE WHO HAVE FAITH AND ACCURATELY KNOW THE TRUTH. *Who does this remind you of? |

Reminds me of the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures, which is the mistranslation of the Jehovah's Witnesses. Why did the "translators" of the NWT use the term "inspired utterance" for the Greek word "pneuma," what is translated "spirit" everywhere else? This is a prime example of the Watchtower trying to deceive its members by deliberately hiding the fact that the Holy Spirit has personality. The Spirit says this; "inspired utterances" say nothing. Oh, that's not the answer you were looking for, was it? Thecapital letters remind me of Roman Catholicism, among other groups. I am not one. --Joe! |

Hi Joe, 1Timothy 4:1-3 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to MARRY, and commanding to abstain from MEATS, which God hath created to be recieved with thangsgiving of them which believe and know the truth.- King James Version (1986) *I'd recommend looking at the NIV Bible, it seems to be more favored. *You mentioned in your post who this reminded you of. * can you tell me what you think "doctrines of devils" means? |

What? Nothing to say about what I pointed out before? Who speaks? The Spirit? Or some "inspired utterance"? Do you want to discuss the Trinity or not? --Joe! |
