I'm Beginning To Reason With Jehovah Witness On Their Stand Concerning Trinity by Nobody: 2:49pm On May 27, 2020 |
When it comes to religious matters we have to use our heads sometimes.Trinity, in Christian doctrine is the unity of the father ,son and holy spirit as three persons in one Godhead. The doctrine of the Trinity is considered to be one of central christian affirmations about God. It is rooted in the fact that God came to meet christians in a threefold figure as (1) There creator,Lord,Father and judge as revealed in the old testament (2)as the lord who incarnated in figure of Jesus Christ who lived among human beings (3)As the holy spirit whom they experienced as the helper or intercessor in the power of new life.But neither the word Trinity nor the explicit doctrine appears in the New Testament.Did Jesus and his followers intend to contradict the Shema in the Hebrew scriptures(Deutronomy 6:4).I have started asking my pastors some questions regarding that,but he only warned me to be very careful of JW. lol 15 Likes |

You are beginning to think of your own... only why abandon one doctrine(man made rules and traditions) only to take hold of another? Why not finally accept what God says as He did instead? 7 Likes |

Rozz:The word Trinity doesn't need to exist in the NT, the whole concept of trinity is that God manifests himself in 3 personalities, each with distinct roles but same qualities. Throughout the NT the 3 personalities are clearly stated... But there was never any place where it was said that there are 3 distinct personalities... Hope I made sense 24 Likes 1 Share |

One way to understand scriptures better is to read the passage from different versions of the Bible, the same way we read from different textbooks or websites to understand a topic better when studying. “Israel, remember this! The LORD — and the LORD alone — is our God. Deuteronomy 6:4. This is what Good News Bible says. Attention, Israel! God , our God! God the one and only! Deuteronomy 6:4. This is what the Message Bible says. I believe these make it a bit clearer what that passage says. Its say that our God is God alone ( in Nathaniel Bassey's voice..."You are God all by yourself). From your writeup, I can deduce that you have good knowledge of scriptures. I'll advice you ask the Holy Spirit for better understanding on the subject. P.S: The Bible does not mention the word "Rapture" at all but that does not change the fact that it is real. 5 Likes 3 Shares |

Rozz:Not true! The Bible is in fact written in plain language for all to read. The blindness is a choice. Man's Trinity doctrine is just that, the doctrine of men. However, if you read through each one of the Gospel's , you will not miss Jesus Himself explaining the relationship that exists between the Himself, His Father and the Spirit of God. You have to trust God to reveal Himself to you, and reading through, say the Book of Matthew, and the Book of John should clear you right up. 1 Like |

Rozz:"But when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative —that is, the Holy Spirit—He will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you." - John 14:26 "When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future." - John 16:13 God, is not a God of confusion and the scripture doesn't have inconsistencies and contradictions. You are right, one requires the Spirit of Truth who guides believers in all truths 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Rozz: Good day bro, I commend your effort in asking questions among your folks, I mean where you fellowship. It is good sign for someone who truly seek to know and for proper understanding. It also pushes those who have rules over you to further study. Having said that, you must know that the scriptures contradictions are man made. The scriptures in itself when read together and understood have no contradictions. Also note even though the scriptures are spiritual, it can be made known and well explained to human mind. Most of the time, our experiences and sentiment is what cloud our judgement. On trinity, it is a concept well documented in the scriptures. Like I always say, trinity as a word doesn't exist in the scriptures but such concept are all visible all over the scriptures. It takes scriptures isolation to deny trinity. Or better still maybe our view of trinity is different considering your initial OP explanation of trinity. In all, keep checking, seeking, praying and studying hard, the right teaching will surely be revealed. 4 Likes |

You only need to study the Bible with the Christians, that's the way Jesus commissioned Christianity. It wasn't something that you just wake up one morning and think you want to become a Christian, Christianity is not what the world was is used to, that's why the world rejected it's founder (Jesus). So to become a Christian, someone must come to preach to you, you will find what is appealing and start learning gradually what Jesus taught. Matthew 10:11-15; Romans 10:11-15 What most people are jumping at today that they're calling Christianity was fabricated by Satan, Satan knew what will attract humans! 2Corinthians 11:11-15 So the journey is far Rozz, i just pray that you can stand against all odds in this!

Rozz: Hmmmmmmmm Paradise is not that far but there are many rivers to cross! So despite the way i've treated you this lady with so much contempt, you still feel the need to learn more about us! Well let me start from where the river could be deeper. You must be prepared to change friends because friendship with the world is enmity with God! Romans 8:7; James 4:4 You must be willing to see things from the viewpoint of God NOT the way the world view it! Isaiah 55:8-9 Your dressing and grooming have nothing as in NOTHING to do with your faith but because of unbelievers whose minds has been filled with manmade doctrines, you have to consider them by dressing in a way that will not stumble them. You don't need all those protocols in your home with your husband! 1Peter 3:1-6 Think more of how to help them as you would have loved to be helped, ask yourself "if a woman is dressed like this how many people will give her a listening ear even though she has the message of hope to give them? Matthew 22:39 If you're in your own home with your man or you're in the midst of fellow believers only, nobody looks at you lustfully {Matthew 5:28} but that's not the case in the midst of unbelievers or when an unbeliever is around! So it takes great courage to wave goodbye to the world and it's ways! 1John 2:15-17 God bless you! 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Rozz: I hope you love rap music. When there is a battle between two rappers and one loses, it’s simply because he/she didn’t do her home work - reading, practicing with a friend, writing etc. I fear you don’t haven’t done your homework; hence, you are losing to a weak rapper - JWs. Have you ever asked yourself what the word “God” means? If you do, you wouldn’t feel the way you are feeling now. While you are at it, could you read Revelations 1:4-6, please? Tell me what you understood after you studied those three verses. 2 Likes |

Acehart:*** Revelations 1:4-6 John, To the seven churches in the province of Asia: Grace and peace to you from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits[a] before his throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, 6 and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen." Cc : Rozz : please take note of the BOLDED. Acehart won't explain why Jesus Christ in heaven serves his God and Father with humans chosen from the earth. . The Acehart came here to needlessly cast JWs but ended up EXPOSING his FRAUD doctrine. Is the spiritual realm Superior to the physical realm ? Yes !!! Revelations 1:4-6, PROOF, Jesus Christ WORSHIP his God and Father in heaven. Trinity FRAUD goes straight to the dustbin. DOA ! 7 Likes |

Dear Rozz, I know you're reading their comments as each is dropping his/her comment, just read carefully and meditate prayerfully, then ask yourself What exactly is the point each person is making? Does this person believe in God's word? What is the correlation between his comments (idea) and God's word? Does he quote God's word at all? They're all misinformed churchgoers! They will tell you "read God's word and let the holy spirit teach (interpret) for you" but ask them thought provoking questions and see how they won't know what to say or how to back their words with the scriptures. All of them depend on what their Pastors tell them but against Jehovah's Witnesses they want to argue. I'm sure you've gotten enough experience on that by now! 4 Likes |

Rozz:John 4:24, Jesus Christ says "God is a spirit". Deut 6:4, Yahweh our God is One Yahweh. Jesus Christ says himself is NOT The one true God . John 17:3. Jesus Christ agrees with the Shema , triune pagan deity devotees disagrees with the Shema and they do not know Jesus. God is NOT 3 (triune) Spirits. Many Pastors read JW publications and study the Bible with JWs, (most will not admit it to their sheeples) please BEWARE of anyone warning you to be careful of us... 9 Likes |
