Subject: Question for Jehovah's Witness friend |
Bible Note: Hi, Tara, I must say that you know your religion well (too bad God is not about religion in that sense). I've read your posts and I don't blame you for your erroneous beliefs, I blame the false teachers and prophets that fed you that stuff. However, I only want to help (and I'll do that by prayer). I would like to ask you: What does your doctrine say for 1 Timothy 3:16? What does your doctrine say for Isaiah 9:6 and 1 John 5:7? What about the Holy Ghost (Spirit)? I wouldn't let "s" or "S" deceive me. The Holy Spirit is not an "it." Contrary to what you have been taught, the Holy Spirit is not a force, He is a living being, He is the manifestation of God (just like Jesus) that lives within true believers, showing them the difference between truth and lies, and showing the need and importance of redemption (John 14:17, 26; 16:7-13). Let's not try to understand God using unparallel comparisons. A natural father and son can't be the same flesh, neither husband and wife (spiritully, they can). God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit can be seen in this way: A man is a father, is married, and works as a mailman (these are only used as examples - no spiritual meaning). To his child, he's a father. To his wife, he's a husband, and to his employer, he's a mailman. Being a father doesn't take away from being a husband or mailman, neither does being a mailman take away from being a father and husband. How many men are there? Just one! So it is with God - one God, three manifestations (and a whole lot of names). The Holy Spirit is not prejudice - He will dwell with you and show you the truth if you ask Him to.
