1 | The name at Exodus 3:15 | Bible general Archive 1 | wannabe | 37492 | ||
One of the main reasons for the Almighty God giving his name so that we seperate him from all the false gods. He instucted it to be written almost 7000 times in the original hebrew scriptures. For what? to have man rip it out becase of their beliefs and to satisfy their own tastes? It was given for a reason. In Psalm 34:3 worshipers of Jehovah were exhorted: O magnify Jehovah with me, you people, and let us exhalt his name together." The titles such as Adhonai and Lord or Sovereign Lord were put in place of God's name by Bible translators following Orthodox Jewish traditions, The Pharisees the preservers of the Orthodox Jews tradition rejected Jesus and were told by him: "You make the word of God invalid because of your traditions!" Are we suppose to believe Jesus never spoke of his Fathers name in the New Testament? Jesus stood up in a synagogue and read a portion of the scroll of Isaiah. The section he read is what we today call Isaiah 61:1,2 where God's name appears more than once.[Luke 4:16-21]Would he have refused to pronounce the divine name there, substituting "Lord' or "God"? Of course not. That would have meant following the unscriptural tradition of the Jewish religious leaders, rather, we read, :"He was teaching them as a person having authority, and not as their scribes." Math 7:29. He taught his followers to pray to God: "Let your name be sanctified". [Math 6:9] And in prayer on the night of his execution, he said to his father: "I have made your name manifest to the men you gave me out of the world...Holy Father, watch over them on the account of your own name which you have given me [John 17:6,11] |

3 | so, you're saying that they go to hell? | Bible general Archive 1 | wannabe | 37704 | ||
Most of us will go to hell before being resserected and only those worthy of being judged will be given a second chance. Armaggedon will occur on this Earth and some of us will live through it but who is not worthy of eternal life will go to hell. Now the tricky part: To understand what modern Bible Translators have done to mess with our minds with Greek Mythology mixed with truth and what theologians make us think we we will never understand. EXAMPLE: The Websters Dictionary says that the English word "hell" is equal to the hebrew word "Sheol" and the Greek word "Hades". German Bibles use "hoelle." Portugese use the word "inferno" English translators of the Authorized King James Version, translated "Sheol" 31 times as "hell" and 31 times as "grave" and 3 times as 'pit." The Catholic Douay Version translated "Sheol" 64 times as "hell." In the New Testament KJV translated "Hades" as "hell" each of the 10 times it occurs. "Sheol" is hebrew and "Hades" is Greek. The question is what kind of place is "Sheol" or "Hades"? The fact that the King James Version translates the one hebrew word "Sheol" 3 different ways shows that hell, grave and pit mean one and the same thing. And if hell means the common grave of mankind it could not also mean a place of fiery torture. Psalm 16:10 in the Hebrew scriptures and Acts 2:31 in the Christian Greek Scriptures, you will notice in 16:10 where "Sheol" occurs Acts 2:31 uses "Hades." Notice too, that Jesus Christ was in Hades or Hell. Are we to believe that God tormented Christ in a Hell of fire? Of course not! Jesus was simply in his grave. When Jacob was mourning for his beloved son Joseph, who he thought had been killed, he said: "I shall go down mourning to my son into Sheol!" [Gen 37:35] However, the King James Version translates "Sheol" as "grave" and the Duoay Version translates it "hell" Now,think for a moment, did Jacob believe that his son Joseph went to a place of torment to spend eternity there, or did he want to go there and meet him? Or rather was it that Jacob merely thought that his beloved son was dead and in the grave and that Jacob himself wanted to die? After ones death, is he still subject to further punishment for his sins? Rom 6:7 "He who has died has been acquitted from his sin." The Bibles are becoming more diluted with each new one that comes out and it is sad to see what is taking place today has already been foretold by Christ. When Adam was first put on this Wonderful creation God has intended for Adam and Eve to dwell on it forever. If everybody dies and goes staight to Heaven next to God Almighty just flying around as Angels and doing God's work or perhaps just floating around playing the Harp, what will God do with the Earth he originally created for us to live on forever? |

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? |

TRINITY... The CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA claims: A Dogma so mysterious presupposes a Divine revelation." Catholic Scholars Karl Rahner and Herbert Vorgrimler state in their Theological Dictionary: "The Trinity is a mystery...in the strict sense...which could not be known without revelation, and even after revelation cannot become wholly intelligible." However, contending that the Trinity is such a confusing mystery, it must have come from divine revelation creates another major problem. Why? Because Divine revelation itself does not allow of such a view of God: "God is not a God of confusion."- 1Corinthians 14:33, Revised Standard Version (RS) Now, would God be responsible for a doctrine about himself that is so confusing that even Hebrew, Greek and Latin Scholars cannot really explain it? Why did so few of the educated Jewish religious leaders recognize Jesus as the Messiah? His faithful disciples were, instead, humble farmers, fishermen, tax collectors, housewives. Those common people were so certain of what Jesus taught about God that they could teach it to others and were even willing to die for their belief.-Mathew 15:1-9; 21:23-32,43 23:13-36 John 7:45-49;Acts 4:13 ENCYCLOPEDIA OF RELIGION: There is no evidence of any sacred writer even suspected the existance of the Trinity, it is to go beyond the words and intent of the sacred writers. Trinity: How did the Doctrine develop? Many think it formulated at the Council of Nicaea in 325 C.E. Not totally correct. It did lay the ground work for later trinitarian theology, but at that council there was no mention of the Holy Spirit being part of a godhead. Many years went by and lots of arguments on trying to develop the idea that Jesus was God. To try to solve the dispute, Roman Emperor Constantine summoned all Bishops to Nicaea[*Constantine was a PAGAN politician who worshiped the unconquered sun,converted to a christian when he got older and was baptized when he was dying] 300, a fraction of the total, actually attended. THE ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA relates: Constantine himself presided, actively guiding the discussions, and personally proposed...the crucial formula expressing the relation of Christ to God in the Creed issued by the council, of one substance with the Father...Overawed by the Emperor, the Bishops ,with 2 exceptions only, signed the creed, many of them much against their inclination. After 2 months of furious religious debate, this pagan politician intervened and decided in favor of those that said Jesus was God. But Why? Constantine understood that the religious division was a threat to his Empire, and he wanted to solidify his domain. None of the Bishops at Nicaea promoted a trinity, however. They decided on the nature of Jesus and not the role of the Holy Spirit. Debates continued for decades. Emperor Theodosius was in charge now [so to speak] He established the creed of the council at Nicaea as the standard for his realm and convened the council of Constantinople in 381 C.E. to clarify the formula. That council agreed to place the Holy spirit on the same level as God and Christ. For the first time Christendom's Trinity began to come into focus. Was Theodosious a Godly person? Many opposed what was happening, Theodosious decided against them and they suffered violent persecution. It was only in later centuries the Trinity was formulated into set creeds. It was defined more fully with the Athanasian creed. Athanasius was a CLERGYMAN who supported Constantine at Nicaea. However Athanasius did not compose this creed. The creed was unknown to the Eastern church until the 12th century. Scholars in the 17th century had agreed that the creed was not written by Athanasius(died373)but was composed in southern France during the 5th century as well as being influenced there and in Spain in the 6th and 7th centuries and was used in the Liturgy in the Church in Germany in the 9th century and later on in Rome. Jesus and his followers spoke of an Apostasy with its "LAWLESS CLERGY CLASS." 2Peter 2:1; 1John4:1-3 Jude 3,4 (Acts 20:29,30 JB) (2Timothy4:3,4 JB) Throughout the Ancient world as far back as Babylonia, the worship of pagan gods grouped in threes, or triads was common. The influence was also prevalent in Egypt, Greece and Rome in Centuries before during and after Christ. In the preface to EDWARD GIBSONS HISTORY OF CHRISTIANITY, we read, if Paganism was conquered by christianity, it is equally true that Christianity was corrupted by Paganism. THE ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF RELIGION and ETHICS notes: "In Indian Religion, e,g.,we meet with the trinitarian group of Brahma, Siva, and Visnu; and in Egyptian religion with the trinitarian group of Osiris, Isis, and Horus...nor is it only historical religions that we find God viewed as a Trinity. *You can do the research, its endless. |

Trinity....Hi Joe, that's one of my points, God never created such a doctrine in which a lot of trinitarians believe he has. Gods name was given to us to understand and recognize the difference between truth and false and false "gods[* note gods as in three or one or one in three or whatever todays belief is] As he has stated he is the only true [GOD]In modern Bibles where you see "LORD", I see "Yahweh" Now if you try to take a non believer and introduce him to God's Word with a modern Bible, what will he see? This is just another way of supporting what has already been corrupted for centuries. Now if KJV or any other Bible today would go back to the original hebrew scriptures with their translations they would have a big problem on their hands, people would become really confused and no longer would they see LORD, Lord or Lord God or GOD and Jesus Christ. They would see Yahweh (or JEHOVAH), Lord, God, Jesus Christ. A big problem for modern Bibles and Pastors etc... Now things become more complicated in explaining the Trinity which they are already having trouble explaining anyway! A BIG PROBLEM FOR THESE COMPANIES! Now nobody would want their Bibles and OHHH how we know the green stuff can really hurt here. But I'm sure they would still care about us. You have mentioned "Tertullian" I am unfamiliar wth this, can you explain? |

Hi Believer, 1 John 5:7?? | ||||||
9 | can the person who answered answer this? | Bible general Archive 1 | wannabe | 37935 | ||
BABIES...Take note in what happened after 3 years of Jesus teaching...the disciples get together after their return to Capernaum and they asked "Who really is greatest in the Kingdom of the Heavens." Jesus already aware of where they were going with that conversation. Jesus staged a moving demonstration to correct their attitudes. He calls a child, stands in their midst, puts his arms around the child and says "Unless you turn around and become as young children, you will by no means enter into the Kingdom of the Heavens; and whoever recieves one such young child on the basis of my name recieves me also. See: Math 17:22-27; 18:1-5; Mark 9:30-37; Luke 9:43-48 also [Acts 24:15 compare Genesis 18:25] |

Hi Joe, yes I have been in the watchtower and other biblical libraries writing notes and comparing them so I know what I have is making sense. I will occasionally list some of the references. It would not be right if I only posted what I believed rather than post facts after comparing resources. | ||||||

Hi Joe, Of course I am going to get the book you have mentioned in your posting and compare my facts for it would only be fair, thats what I have been doing and I will not stop now. You can mention Jehovah's witnesses as much as you like, this will never cover up the fact the trinity was created by Emperors and clergymen with their minds corrupted more about power and less about christianity for if they were concerned about their fellow man they would not have persecuted them along with burning them with their Bibles knowing people would figure out there corruption all backed with a history of paganism. *Yes I have and still will study the books recommended on the the Trinity and will tell you how I feel about the information presented in the book you referred. *You cannot change history and how a Doctrine developed from history *Execution was done in the past against people who did not go along with the Trinity doctrine. **This is the doctrine you support. **And this is the Doctrine you are teaching young adults. **Are you practicing what you preach and teaching these things about paganism and execution for not believing in the Trinity Doctrine to your students? |

Hi Hank, I am not on this chat board to be the spokesperson for Jehovah's Witnesses, however, before you go calling an organization "a cult" you need to dig up more facts on the executions that were done on innocent people for refusing to believe in a doctrine that you are standing up for.[exclude this message if you do not support the Trinity] |

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? |

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? |

EXECUTED FOR NOT BELIEVING IN THE TRINITY...

TRINITY?...Hi Joe, maybe you can help me with this verse: Psalm 110:1 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool- KJV I guess my question would be this: Would The "Lord" take himself out of himself as the "LORD" to place himself next to himself at his right hand until he makes his enemies his footstool? |

Hi Makarios, I thought you said we had to stick to the scriptures? You done broke your first rule with the second sentence in this posting. And later on in your posting the words you wrote after Gen 49:10 is also yours and not the Bibles. Here is another one you added: "This is God the Father in Heaven saying to God the son." Do you know how many Bibles you can go through and you will never find " God the son?" *In order for you to understand the Bible without adding your own thoughts and writing them down, you will need to go to the beginning and find out the difference between large letters "LORD" and small letters "Lord" why they were susbtituted and what the names were in the original Hebrew. *Hint: The Orthodox Jews were afraid to speak the "Divine" name. |

Hi Makarios, I'm not sure what Bible you are reading from but I am reading from a very popular King James Version: Mathew 14:33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God. |

Hi Kalos, Since you do know a little about the witnesses then you know I couldn't be one. I'd be forbidden to hold these chats with trinitarians. However I do know abou the witnesses background because I dated a girl that was in the witnesses for four years and was disfellowshipped for hanging in Bars (It wasn't a Godly thing to do)They gave her a few warnings but she kept doing bad and thats when we met [doesn't say much for me I know]. Now, even though I am not a witness I will stand up for something when I know another individual is making false accusations. I do know their only site is [Watchtower.org] I also know they had other sites claim to be associated with them but they are not. I know God allows them to carry his name "Jehovah" in their title because in case you haven't noticed, most of the modern Bibles translated that name into "LORD", You may still see it though in Psalm 83:18 [KJV] Now if you are at all familiar with Biblical history you will be shocked to discover the name they carry and for the reason. It has been removed and so people will know the "Divine" name that was given "Jehovah" was translated from the hebrew "Yahweh" or Yehowah" [JHVH] and [YHWH]was given by God Almighty to write in the hebrew scriptures nearly 7000 times and now you see "LORD" What Jehovah"s Witnesses did was put it back where it belonged! The alterations of the Bible didn't occur until 1530 in English by William Tyndale. So you see Kalos, you have it backwards. *The 3rd commandment from the ten commandments That was given to us by God is "You shall not swear falsely by the name of the lord [Hebrew:....] your God... *Now in the [Hebrew:....] of that commandment was the tetragramamaton that was given by God [YHWH]it is written in Hebrew consonants I can't put in the computer. This is the Greatest "Divine" name that was ever given to us and even put in the 10 commandments by God and has been removed by man. You might want to re think what you are saying is associated with a "cult" *You stated "Altering Biblical text to suit their needs" *You stated "latching on to one verse to interpret another" *You stated "changing the meanings of words" *You stated "Adding to the word of God" [Every trinitarian I talk to keeps doing this to me] *You stated "Proclaims some passages to be figurative when they contradict their doctrines" If you give some references of which you are referring to,I will do my best in trying to clear it up for you. |
