So I'm browsing through the forums and I see one on the Trinity.
I think well yea I'm sure I could bring up a few points on this as I have extensively studied this with an open mind. It sounds like there are people like Angel and wmscott who know what they are talking about. The way one can tell how much biblical sence a person has is the frequesncy in which they return to the bible to answer questions. Scroll down the forum and you wil see some people, like Angel and wmscott using many scriptual explainations. The scriptures they use to back up their veiws is what makes them so creditable, not to mention the reasonableness in their explainations. Trinitarians tend to show you a scripture after 10 minutes of lecturing and hope to God that you can't explain it. After a bible-oriented response, they tend to say something along the lines of "well its a mystery." Like Angel said, God doesn't write in confusion. There are no contridictions in the bible although it may seem that way to the untrained eye, and the Trinity is not a Bible teaching. The Trinity is a teaching held by Christiandom today and has nothing to do with getting to know God any better anyways. I think getting to know God's name, Jehovah, would be a much more reasonable step in the right direction. It looks as though wmscott is our local forum minister on that subject lol. I was raised Jehovah's Witness and learned a great deal about the Bible. I knew right away that wmscott was a witness, just because he used terms liek Jehovah and armageddon. I know no one group of people who are affiliated with such tight woven beleifs "religion" that is so well researched and explainable as Jehovah's Witnesses. Anyways, if you have a question regarding the Bible that you want answered, I guarantee there is a J dub in your relative area that can answer it. As for the Trinity debate, I'd love to tag in and get messy but it serves no purpose really. I'm only going to repeat what Angel and wmscott have sited so I guess I'll just leave one scripture to see what comes of it.
John 14:28 states "You heard that I said to you, I am going away and I am coming [back] to you. If you loved me, you wold rejoice that I am going my way to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am."
Yea, maby wmscott or Angel will explain it to ya...
P.S. wmscott, how long have you been in the truth?
Angel, I was wondering where it is you've learned so much about the bible?
