See Reasons Why Jesus Is Not God. by chatinent: 7:19pm On Aug 01, 2020
The Bible’s answer:
Many Christian denominations teach that God is a Trinity. However, note what the Encyclopædia Britannica states: “Neither the word Trinity nor the explicit doctrine appears in the New Testament . . . The doctrine developed gradually over several centuries and through many controversies.
.
In fact, the God of the Bible is never described as being part of a Trinity.
.
Note these Bible passages:
- “Jehovah our God is one Jehovah.”—Deuteronomy 6:4.
- “You, whose name is Jehovah, you alone are the Most High over all the earth.”— Psalm 83:18.
-“This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.”— John 17:3.
-“God is only one.”—Galatians 3:20.
.
Still thinking if the trinity doctrine has some truth? I hope you know Jesus was created and Jehovah God was not? Here is sth to think about: if Jesus is God, who was he praying to in the mountains? Concerning the misconception on the John's account in chapter one verse one, think again: how can sb who is God 'be with' God again?
.
Clearly Jesus is not God. He even stressed his father is greater than he is. Little wonder God loved him and sent him to pay his life a ransom for our sins.

This topic u jehovah witness want to kill urself over...what difference does it make to u people..... it’s not like someone can even discuss the matter with you biblically... u guys have ur own version of the Bible......
it’s still better to discuss with Catholics about worshiping and praying to Mary at least they use same bible with everyone else...other than discussing the Divinity of Jesus with a jehovah-witness

It’s so surprising to me that the bible isn’t written in English....since most of the authors originated from the Middle East where English wasn’t spoken at the time....So it’s not normal for the Bible not to be in English orginally

the Bible u have at home is it written in the original language of the authors...??

Yes sir, the bible was originally written in Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic. Every English translation today copied from those original manuscripts (your Bible and mine). You spoke as if yours was authored directly from Moses. Mine is a new word translation and copied what's really on those manuscripts without religious bias. No sarcasm intended. You are welcome.

it's clear you do not understand the concept of Trinity. Nonetheless, you kept reiterating the fact that God is one which I quite agree with. Now think of Trinity as an egg. You will agree with me that the egg has three 'distinct' parts comprising
1) egg yolk,
2) egg white and
3) egg shell.
The point to note is that although the parts are distinct and can exist in isolation, in reality, what makes it an egg is because of the three parts occuring together. Now see the egg shell, egg yolk and egg white as God the Father, God the son and God the Holy Spirit.

I do understand the dogma perfectly. How can I tell? I was once a Catholic. Sorry to disappoint you. POC, the holy spirit is not God, it's God's active force. Jesus is very distinct from God; he is the Son. God is the Creator, he is Jehovah. You are welcome.

Similarly,since man who was made in the likeness of God has spirit, soul and body(three in one),God also exist in three form,father,son and the Holy spirit.

Thanks for your inputs. Let's analyze them in bits. To your first question, logically , it was to this firstborn Son that Jehovah said: “Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness.” ( Ge 1:26) ... He likely did so in Eden, for on two of the three occasions where mention is made of God’s speaking there, the record specifically shows someone was with Him, undoubtedly his Son. Who is that son? Jesus Christ (did you notice he spoke to a distinct person?)( Ge 1:26-30; 2:16, 17; 3:8-19, 22)
.
The second. Can one be with someone and at the same time be that person? At John 17:3, Jesus addresses the Father as “the only true God.”

No sir, it's not rocket science. It's just that many of us believed in it before we came to know the truth. Because of this truth God sent his son, Jesus Christ-- a beloved son who emulated his father's qualities (eg. Love) -- to die for our sins.

You problem is not trinity. Your problem is your god has no name. Mine do, and his name is Jehovah (Ps 83:18).

Whether Jesus is God or not is inconsequential.
As a Christian, you're supposed to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. If Jesus said him and God are one, that's the gospel. Take it or leave the religion.

U jehovah witness and God’s name....it’s always funny.....
Okay, okay, okay... since you found out the name of God, what difference has it made in ur life....u still have to believe in Jesus anyways...
See I believe in the creator of the heavens and the earth and the sea and all that is in it....he knows I acknowledge him day, afternoon, night...

What his name is doesn’t really matter....before the Bible came people have been believing God and following him whether is name his wood or stone or almighty or merciful, or wonderful... what matters is you don’t acknowledge the wrong thing.....and he also sent Jesus which I believe in... so I’m not mistaken and I’m not worshipping a wrong God

spirit: When God's spirit descended like a dove upon Jesus, it confirmed or bore witness to Jesus being the Son of God

water: The water in which Jesus was baptized in also bore witness when Jesus was approved by his heavenly Father, Jehovah.

blood: Jesus' blood or life also bore witness to him being God's Son when he gave himself up as a ransom sacrifice when his blood was poured out.

Whatever you were healed by, it wasn't by the power of the true God Jehovah.

The gift of holy spirit was to show that the early Christian congregation had God's backing but it was to last a short time until the congregation had grown into maturity.
After that, apostle Paul wrote under inspiration :
1Corinthians 13:8.
“Love never fails. But if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away with; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away with. ”
Here clearly shows that the miraculous gifts of my spirit were short-lived and it was done away with in the first century.

First can you please tell us your own definition of God?
