Polytheists Vs Trinity by benalvino(m): 3:46pm On Jun 27, 2013
I have discussed with JWs like ijawkid, truthislight... And some that are not JWs like frosbel and come to realize that they dont know who Jesus is.

Ijaw kid will tell you he is not God that God cannot die...

When you show him John 1:1 ok he is a god like us that we are all gods. He will also claim that Jesus is an angel.

When you take him to asaiah Jesus is now God not like us but a lesser God to the father as he is the mighty God and the father is the almighty God. The problem here is that the father is also called the mighty God.

So since the trinitarians believe there is one God that operates in 3 distinct ways go along with the bible teaching that there is only one God compared to the polytheist of have Jesus as a god yet he is not a FALSE god... Jehovah says in asaiah 43:10 he says before him no god was formed... In that verse the bible made it clear to believe in a god other than God is a taboo... Frosbel ijawkid will claim they are not polytheist because they dont worship Jesus... But believe in more than one God is polytheism.

1 chronicles 16:26 says all the gods of the nations are idols... Anytime the bible talks about other gods it is putting them in bad light calling idols. In fact the only thing the bible called god is Satan and that is figurative... Satan is not a god but the bible call him god of the world. Every one knows that Jehovah is the God of the world not satan.

the question is are we going to be guilty of worshipping a god as it says Jesus will be worshipped along side the father?
Re: Polytheists Vs Trinity by Nobody: 5:09pm On Jun 27, 2013
Nope! Because we have many chapters and verses of the bible, exalting Him(christ) and God himself procaliming him(christ)...... The trinity is more of monotheism and not polytheism, we don't worship three gods but one. Each of the 'persons' is 'distinct' from the other, yet related. The father chooses who will be saved(ephians, 1:4); the Son redeems them(ephesians, 1:7); and the holy spirit seals them(ephesians, 1:13) each has a will, thats why each can say 'me' 'mine' 'you'.... all are working according to the will of the 'father', just like Jesus said. If doubt the exitence of the trinity, then we should doubt the existence of satan....

^^ my problem is their incisive view of Christ... One of then said before that since we all come from God we are gods... Like how snake give birth to snake... The problem is water, trees and the earth comes from God will you call them gods too?

Do we have to pray to someone that is not God?

The bible calls Jesus God of the world twice

Trinitarians are Polytheists or more specifically Tritheists, they are 1 million miles away from being monotheists.

The madness of it all is that these funny fellows want us to agree with them that 1 + 1 + 1 = 1.

Nonsense.

You have to wrestle the scriptures that calls Jesus God... And you don't know who Jesus even is so I dont think you can address it... As for what you believe Jesus never exist till he was born... Something you could defend smiley

Am not ready to debate. I want you people to teach me why you guys are not sure about who Jesus is... He is just a guy Mary born... He is a man... He is angel... He is a god... Now he is a mighty God but not almighty... Make Una talk why Una they confuse Una self...

Hmm, nope.

I said Jesus is present through the Spirit of GOD anywhere and everywhere , specifically where 2 or 3 are gathered together in his name.

Try not to misquote me.

At least I do not think the resurrection is past and the saints are already awake in heaven.

Wasn't david worshipped,adored and revered alongside Yahweh??....

Why can't you guys grow some simple sense and abandon the trinity.....

I believe in the only one God the Father who is my God...

The aLl other Gods are not my God...

Now this is where you don't get to understand me and the Jw's.....

Many can be called God(s).......angels,man,Jesus,mountains, etc....

But to us there is but one GOD.....the Father...

The Father is my God.....Jesus is not my God....so I remain a monotheist...

You on the other hand call Jesus your God,call the Father your God and also call the holy spirit your God....


1 Corinthians 8:6
New International Version (NIV)
6 yet for us there is but one God, the Father,
from whom all things came and for whom we
live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ,
through whom all things came and through
whom we live.

Is Jesus the Father??.......

Then I wonder why the fruitless arguments.......

I want you to open a scripture as clear as 1 corinthians 8:6 and show us that Jesus is the one GOD......

You do realize that the bible says God will destroy other gods that didn't form the heaven and earth... Right? Are you saying he will destroy Jesus and all humans and angels as you say they are gods.

I know one of those books published by WT teaches that God will destroy other gods.

Oboy...

Have I not answered your question that I am not a polytheist??.........

Have I not??....

These your extra questions are just childish and time wasting.......

God won't destroy Jesus and the other good angels because they know they are not the one GOD and that they are loyal and subservient to the one GOD the Father......

Like I have said before.......

Jesus is not my GOD.....no other person called God is my God.......only the Father is my God...


Now may I ask you a question to find out if you're are not a polytheist......

Believing in other gods whether you worship or not makes you polytheist dont you get it? You believe in another god.

The bible says he will destroy other gods that didn't form the earth how is that childish? Didn't he say there was no other God formed beside him?

How can the mountains be god like you said? Is it because you are trying to take the deity of Christ.

again am asking if God will destroy other gods that didn't make the heavens and earth... Me and you and anything you call god... Me am a human not god.
