    Jehovah is our Father...

    To Trinitarians: The Son is Jehovah Jehovah is our Father Therefore the Son is the Father? It seems the bible never says "O Jehovah, you are our Son", or "O Jehovah, you are our Holy Spirit", or similar... So why is the Trinity [Aka Jehovah] called the Father? Regards

    Where In The Bible Do The Jews Reject The Trinity?

    Hi All. As one of Jehovah's witnesses its no secret that we do not think the trinity to be scriptural. The Jews (for the most part) also reject this doctrine.... But my question is, when did the Jews first begin to reject it? Are there any recorded 'rejections' in the scriptures? Or are all the...

    The Holy Spirit: A Person?

    Holy Spirit: A Person? Because the Holy Spirit is given personality in the scriptures, does that make it/him a literal person. Speaks (Acts 13:2) Can be grieved (Eph. 4:30) Has a will (1 Cor. 12:11) I say not necessarily, because other inanimate objects are also given personality...

    The Shema and Jesus' Obedience To It

    Apologies... I hate long OP's I've tried to condense it as much as possible... The Shema (Deuteronomy 6:4-6) “Listen, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah. 5 And you must love Jehovah your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your vital force (Mark 12:28-34) Now one of...

    Faith without works?

    From here 679 Hi, I read the above misunderstanding from the 'Trinity = God' thread and wanted to explain the bible's position clearly. (James2:17) Thus, too, faith, if it does not have works, is dead in itself. JW's know that the blood of Jesus is what saves and without it we...

    Christmas!

    So that time of the year is upon us again, the time for families to get together and catch up on the previous years activities. My question is, how does Jehovah feel about this annual celebration, and should we really care what he thinks anyway? Your thoughts..... Richard.

    Satan Rules This World!

    Hi Everyone, What do you all think about this; Matthew 4:8-9 8 Again the Devil took him along to an unusually high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory, 9 and he said to him: "All these things I will give you if you fall down and do an act of worship to me...

    Is This Right?

    This is a quote from a poorly named thread by Eksesar directed at JW’s; He types this after quoting Watchtower articles totally out-of-context and saying that certain articles suggest stuff that they don’t when read in full. Should this dishonesty be allowed to happen at Christian forums...

    Do We Need Free-Will to be Self Conscious?

    Well? I think yes, because if we are aware of our existence then that would lead us to freely question it, we would ask questions like; why are we here, where did we come from, why should we serve the creator etc. etc. However, if we take free will out of the equation then such questions could...

    The Ante-Nicene Church Fathers; Were They Right?

    Welcome all, In my research of the early church I have found that the early Fathers were essentially subordinists, that is, Christ was a lesser person than the Father, which means that they couldn't be Trinitarian doesn't it? For example; Cyprian "That Christ is the First-born, and that He is...
