why cant jws answer simple questions?

Reading comprehension! I was talking about writers, as you were, not speakers. Sorry to puncture such allusions of grandeur but I don't see such humble people among the Opposition. Godly people are known by their wise tranquility. MSG Pro 29:11 A fool lets it all hang out; a sage quietly mulls it over. Have a nice day! :) (16 hrs ago | post #5488)

You mean like the "vast mixed company" that where delivered with the Israelites when Jehovah claimed the Israelites out from the land of Egypt for the land that was promised to them? They weren't counted to claim the same benefits because they wanted to follow Jehovah? Zec 8:23 Thus says the LORD of hosts: In those days ten men from nations of every language shall take hold of a Jew, grasping his garment and saying, "Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you." Besides, I think you should given what I said a closer look. Because, like I said, we are made new individuals by harmonizing ourselves under the power of God's holy spirit as Christians. That makes for a clean people not just on the outside but also on the inside, spiritually. As the apostle Paul write to the Ephesians, if we are truly taught by Christ, we will "be made new in the force that actuates our mind" and will "put on the new personality, which is created according to God’s will in true righteousness and loyalty." (Portions from Eph 4:17-24) Anybody can have that, even the Opposition here. (smile) I don't know that "WBTS doctrine" you talk about. But the WBTS focuses on Jehovah and Jesus Christ. After all, Jehovah gave us his Son so we need to pay attention. (John 3:16) So we can be taught by Christ in order to seek and acquire "the same mental attitude that Christ Jesus had" so that we think and act as Jesus did, as Paul explains at Ro 15:5. All of us can be new and act like Jesus. :) (16 hrs ago | post #192)

Changing the subject? But would you quote for me the paragraph where that quote was taken? Just for my curiosity. Thanks. (18 hrs ago | post #191)

No, you didn't. When you were not plagiarizing you were making long-winded rants instead of answering my question which anyone who had an idea of what they were talking about would have answered in one sentence. Maximum three! And when you did said something that wasn't scripted by somebody else, you said you didn't subscribe to any of those three camps but basically covered all those bases anyway. In other words, you don't know but you are not leaving anything out either. LOLNo, not true. I explained my position. The kicker came from the fact that you asked me a question which was answered in my reply clearly indicates to me you either skimmed or didn't read my post. (Or very poor reading comprehension.) At any rate, that further indicates to me that you are blinded by your agenda and not up for any discussion even when you give the veneer of hosting one. You haven't changed, UNchained. In fact, you've gotten worse. Result of bad associations and being what you eat perhaps? :) (18 hrs ago | post #190)

Then I suggest you completely say what you mean and completely mean what you say. I'm not a mind readerOh, if you're honest you can testify that my eyesight is sharp, to the chagrin of the Opposition. There are many ministries out there. I'm sure most of them are well intentioned. But what God are they purportedly drawing people to or are they simply humanitarian? If the latter, there are many secular ministries that give the same reliefs. Yet Jesus said that man does not live on bread alone but on every word from Jehovah's mouth. I have an affinity to Bible Societies who at least have the ministry of bringing the printed Word of God to people around the world for little or no cost in the languages of the people ... and leave it at that. I think that's a good start. This helps teachers of God's Word who go from house to house in local and remote areas preaching the Good News of the Kingdom to help honest hearted ones to know what their Bible says better, get to know God better, and gain hope from the promises of God written in His Word. You are free to do something like that in your community any time you want, Maravilla. :) (18 hrs ago | post #302)

You know, I get a lot of side-tracks like this too. When I ask where is the Trinity, you guys rework my question and answer in ways as if I asked where Jesus and Jehovah are the same. This is not what I asked. Besides, isn't that Trinity heresy of Modalism? :) (18 hrs ago | post #301)

Paul says Jesus is Jehovah

Did somebody pee in your cornflakes this morning? What a sour disposition you have! Ps 144:15 Happy is the people that is in such a case; Yea, happy is the people whose God is Jehovah. LOL Have a nice day! :) (19 hrs ago | post #5827)

The false trinity doctrine.

Jesus means "Jehovah is salvation". A name such as "Jesus" that points to Jehovah doesn't seem to me a name that explicitly identifies the person as being JehovahThat's an assumption that falls apart when other "sons of God" are considered, such as angels and humans. Are they in the nature of God? Or, most likely, are they in the IMAGE OF GODScriptures call Jesus the "Son of God". And Jesus was happy with that. Even God's great enemy did knew who Jesus was. Mat 4:6 "If you are the Son of God," he said, "throw yourself down. For it is written: "'He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.'" "the Son of God" If the Devil thought Jesus was God instead of the Son of God, you'd think he'd waste time even daring to tempt Jesus with these offensive temptations? :) (Wednesday | post #4604)

The false trinity doctrine.

That's what JWs believe too. :) (Wednesday | post #4602)

I beg to differ. First, let's take a look at that point in Galatians. Gal 5:18 But when you are directed by the Spirit, you are not under obligation to the law of Moses. As far as I can tell, JWs don't observe the Sabbath rituals, sacrifice animals at the temple, nor the other requirements of the Mosaic Laws which the ancient Jews followed. :) To the contrary, JWs have accepted Jesus Christ as their savior as they have accepted Jehovah as the one true God. This is a given belief of all primitive Christians during the time of apostle Paul. 1Co 8:6 But we know that there is only one God, the Father, who created everything, and we live for Him. And there is only one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom God made everything and through whom we have been given life. That point in the epistle of Galatians dovetails what Paul said about "putting on" the new Christian personality. Such to the point that it will appear as a complete nature change. Gal 3:26 For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes. 28 There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus. Theme repeats in Colossians. Col 3:7 You used to do these things when your life was still part of this world. 8 But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language. 9 Don't lie to each other, for you have stripped off your old sinful nature and all its wicked deeds. 10 Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like Him. Paul repeats the same theme in his epistle to the Ephesians. Eph 4:18 Their minds are full of darkness; they wander far from the life God gives because they have closed their minds and hardened their hearts against Him. 19 They have no sense of shame. They live for lustful pleasure and eagerly practice every kind of impurity. 20 But that isn't what you learned about Christ. 21 Since you have heard about Jesus and have learned the truth that comes from Him, 22 throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. 23 Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. 24 Put on your new nature, created to be like God — truly righteous and holy. So we can, an indeed be, new individuals by harmonizing ourselves under the power of God's holy spirit as Christians. We can be in union with Christ as Jesus prayed we be in union with him as with his Father. John 17:21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one -- 23 I in them and you in me -- so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. :) PS: I had to snip between your first and last sentences in order to get my reply under the Topix character count limit. Your original post is still on Topix as reference. (Wednesday | post #181)

So pontificates someone who seriously lacked what "born again" means himself to the point that he stooped to plagiarize from websites off the Internet for information he should have known? And was outed as such? Thank you for your cheap meaningless stoning. It didn't hurt! :) (Wednesday | post #180)

why cant jws answer simple questions?

He has demonstrated pretty good English composition, grammar, and diction. In comparison of how you guys write, perhaps your statement needs to be reversed! :) (Wednesday | post #5481)

Yes the Trinity idea is found in the Bible." You know, I get that a lot. So I ask Trinity experts like yourself to simply indulge me by saying where the explicit Trinity teaching verse is so I can read that for myself so I can say, "Aha! The Trinity!" But you don't. You keep saying it's in there and NEVER SAYING WHERE. Is that how it works? Trinitarianism has be simply accepted by gullible followers that are given the assurance that it is "in there" without actually being given the data that proves it is "in there"? :) (Wednesday | post #293)

It is love of fellowman, Maravilla, that we do conversations such as these. The Trinity is unbiblical! Period! We are even showing you how YOU YOURSELF CAN'T FIND THE TRINITY TEACHING ANYWHERE in the Bible. In effect, we are even letting and helping you take the splinter out of your own eye yourself .... But you refuse! You rather keep the splinter and resultant blindness that occurs from it which prevents you from seeing and worshiping God for who and what HE IS. We'll keep lovingly warning people until you kill us. Or Topix kicks me out. :) (Wednesday | post #292)
