    Once again, the Satan's Witness accuser of the brethren promotes lies >against the church and the Bible.

    OK, then you are calling the teaching that God is a Trinity, a lie?

    The Bible teaches there is only one God Being (Deuteronomy 6:4, Isaiah
    45:5, 1 Corinthians 8:6). The Bible teaches that three distinct
    persons
    are God (Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:14, 1 Peter 1:2). Neither the
    Bible nor the church teaches that God has three personalities.

    Persons, with personalities.

    So again, your logic is that 1= 3. (please don't become a math
    teacher) That 4th century Trinity doctrine is what the churches
    assimilated . If God is made up of 3 personalities, yet is only ONE
    GOD (Deut 6:4), then he suffers from Multiple Personalities. (DID) You
    can't have it both ways.

    The Council of Nicaea at 325 CE, defines the Trinity of today. That
    council was NOT inspired (2 Tim 3:16) of God,
    but inspired by imperfect men of the Catholic Church.

    They created the Trinitarian Nicene Creed. The Nicene Creed as found
    on the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops in 2011:

    "I believe in one God,
    the Father almighty,
    maker of heaven and earth,
    of all things visible and invisible.

    IT SAYS GOD IS THE CREATOR OF "ALL THINGS".

    I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
    the Only Begotten Son of God,
    born of the Father before all ages.

    [IF JESUS WAS BORN, THEN HE CAN'T BE GOD, SINCE GOD ALWAYS WAS. PS
    90:2]

    God from God, Light from Light,
    true God from true God,

    [ILLOGICAL. IT IS LIKE ME SAYING "I CAME FROM ME"]

    begotten, not made,

    CONTRADICTS COL 1:15.

    consubstantial with the Father;

    JESUS IS NOT FULLY GOD. GOD IS SUPERIOR. 1 COR 11:3

    through him all things were made.

    THEY ALREADY SAID AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS CREED, THAT GOD MADE ALL
    THINGS. NOW THEY SAY JESUS DID. SOUNDS LIKE THEY ARE CONFUSED.
    For us men and for our salvation
    he came down from heaven,
    and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,

    IF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS A PERSON, THEN HE IMPREGNATED MARY. YOUR CREED
    HERE IS BLASPHEMOUS.

    and became man.
    For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
    he suffered death and was buried,

    JESUS WAS DEAD FOR 3 DAYS. GOD ALWAYS LIVED. THEY CAN'T BOTH BE GOD.

    and rose again on the third day
    in accordance with the Scriptures.
    He ascended into heaven
    and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

    SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD SIGNIFIES A HIGH POSITION, BUT IS
    SUBJECTION TO THE ONE ON THE THRONE.

    He will come again in glory
    to judge the living and the dead
    and his kingdom will have no end.

    I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,

    IT IS GOD WHO GAVE LIFE. GEN 1:1.

    who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
    who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,

    THE HOLY SPIRIT IS GOD'S ACTIVE FORCE, NOT A PERSON, ALLTHOUGH IT WAS PERSONIFIED. IT CAN FILL MANY PEOPLE, ACTS 2:1-4:

    2 Now while the day of the Festival of Pentecost was in progress, they
    were all together at the same place. 2aSuddenly there was a noise from
    heaven, just like that of a rushing, stiff breeze, and it filled the
    whole house where they were sitting. 3aAnd tongues as if of fire
    became visible to them and were distributed, and one came to rest on
    each one of them, 4aand they all became filled with holy spirit and
    started to speak in different languages, just as the spirit enabled
    them to speak.

    DID IT CHOP ITSELF UP INTO PIECES TO FILL MANY PEOPLE?

    I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.

    THEY TRY TO MAKE EVERYONE CATHOLIC.

    I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
    and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
    and the life of the world to come. Amen.[3]

    Jesus is God: christrose.news/Jesus-God.

    The solitary true and saving gospel is that Christ died for our sins
    and
    rose from the grave (1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Galatians 1:8-9). Any
    modification of this gospel is false and leads to conscious, eternal
    torment in the lake of fire (2 Thessalonians 1:8-9; John 3:36;
    Revelation 14:11; Revelation 19:20; Revelation 20:10-15). Unless you
    believe Jesus is God, you will die in your sins (John 8:24).

    Jesus took our place on the cross to settle our debt with God
    (Colossians 2:14), and God confirmed the acceptance of this payment by
    raising Him from death (Romans 1:4). Thus, God remains holy while
    justifying the ungodly (Romans 3:26) and shielding them from future
    wrath (1 Thessalonians 1:10). This blessing is a free gift given to
    those who believe (Romans 6:23). Place your confidence in Christ and
    call on Him for salvation (Romans 10:9-13):

    The Bible exposes that claim as a blasphemous lie:

    Jesus was both with God and was God (not "was a god") in the beginning
    (John 1:1-2). In Him all the fullness of the godhead dwells in bodily
    form (Colossians 2:9). He is our great God and Savior (Titus 2:13). He
    is "my Lord and my God" (John 20:28). He received worship that angels
    reject (Revelation 22:8-9; Matthew 14:33). The Jews attempted to stone
    Him for making himself equal to God (John 10:33). "All things" were
    created through Him, not all "other" things (John 1:3; Colossians 1:16).
    He did not consider equality with God something to cling to, but emptied Himself and became obedient to provide an atonement for our sins
    (Philippians 2:6-8). The disciples repeatedly equated Jesus Christ with
    the "Kyrios" the LXX attributed to YHWH (Romans 10:9-13; Philippians
    2:11; 1 Corinthians 12:3).


    Yet, we know


    Who's the "we" you claim to represent? Teachings aren't established as
    right or wrong based on how many people agree with you. That you are apparently trying to rest your claims on people agreeing with you,
    rather than the plain teaching of the Bible, exposes the weakness of
    your view.


    of the churches' teaching that God is a Trinity. Thus he
    has 3 personalities.


    rCo Neither the Bible nor the church teaches that God is one person
    with three different personalities.

    rCo The Bible and the church teach God is one being (Deuteronomy
    6:4), yet three distinct persons (Matthew 28:19). Each person
    (Father, Son, and Spirit), has his own, single, unique
    identity.

    rCo The mental illness you described involves a single person with
    up to 200 different personalities. That's not the same as three
    distinct persons who each have but one unique identity. Thus
    you promote confusion, lies, and blasphemy about what the Bible
    and the church teaches.


    Once again, the Satan's Witness accuser of the brethren promotes lies
    against the church and the Bible.

    OK, then you are calling the teaching that God is a Trinity, a lie?


    Idem. You misrepresented what both the Bible and church teach about the
    triune nature of God.


    The Bible teaches there is only one God Being (Deuteronomy 6:4, Isaiah
    45:5, 1 Corinthians 8:6). The Bible teaches that three distinct
    persons are God (Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:14, 1 Peter 1:2). Neither the
    Bible nor the church teaches that God has three personalities.

    Persons, with personalities.


    idem. Notice, you now change your claim to "persons" with
    "personalities" (one personality per person). Before (see above) you
    tried to define the trinity teaching as meaning one person had three
    different personalities. The Bible and church teach God is one being,
    yet three distinct persons, with one personality per person, not that
    God is one person with three personalities. You fabricate your own lies, falsely pretend they represent the teaching of the church, then
    grand-stand against your own fabrications.



    So again, your logic is that 1= 3. (please don't become a math
    teacher) That 4th century Trinity doctrine is what the churches
    assimilated . If God is made up of 3 personalities, yet is only ONE
    GOD (Deut 6:4), then he suffers from Multiple Personalities. (DID) You
    can't have it both ways.


    idem. That's the formula you fabricated to misrepresent the Bible and
    church. The Bible and church say that when it comes to God the being,
    it's 1 God x 1 God x 1 God = 1 God. The Bible and church teach that 1
    unique Person + 1 Unique Person, + 1 Unique Person = 3 persons (Father,
    Son, and Spirit). So it's one God, three persons, one identity per
    person, not multiple identities per one person.



    The Council of Nicaea at 325 CE, defines the Trinity of today. That
    council was NOT inspired (2 Tim 3:16) of God,
    but inspired by imperfect men of the Catholic Church.

    Idem.


    [IF JESUS WAS BORN, THEN HE CAN'T BE GOD, SINCE GOD ALWAYS WAS. PS
    90:2]


    You promote stupid lies. He was God in the beginning (John 1), yet He
    had to be born into a human body at a point in time, to provide a substitutionary atone for our sins.


    God from God, Light from Light,
    true God from true God,

    [ILLOGICAL. IT IS LIKE ME SAYING "I CAME FROM ME"]


    rCo The God of the Bible exceeds human comprehension and
    investigation (Romans 11:33-34). If that doesn't make sense to
    your puny faculties of reasoning, you fabricate something which
    does, and call it "God".

    rCo The fact Jesus came from God confirms He and the Father are
    distinct persons. One God being, three distinct persons.



    begotten, not made,


    Clue: "begotten" in English translation "only begotten" (e.g. John 1:14)
    is a single word in Greek: monogenes.

    monogenes is derived from "monos" (only) and "genos" (kind, class, or
    kind of being). It signifies being the unique, unique-in-kind, or one-of-a-kind representation of the Father. When used of Jesus, it
    denotes His unique relationship to the Father, distinct from believers
    who become children of God through adoption (John 1:12).

    When Hebrews says "today I have begotten you", it's talking about the
    day He raised Christ from the dead, not to Him being created.


    CONTRADICTS COL 1:15.


    You promote the same refuted lies and confusion over and over. It is you
    and Satan's Witnesses who contradict Colossians 1:15. You promote the
    lie and confusion that any time the word "firstborn" appears, it must
    refer to the order in which something was created. This is false.

    In Psalm 89:27, God declares concerning David, "I also will make him My firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth," which establishes
    firstborn as a title of preeminence and supreme rank, given that David
    was actually the youngest son of Jesse rather than the first
    chronologically.

    Similarly, in Jeremiah 31:9, God states, "For I am a Father to Israel,
    and Ephraim is My firstborn," despite the fact that Manasseh was the chronologically older brother of Ephraim, demonstrating that the title signifies a designation of priority and covenant inheritance.

    In Exodus 4:22, the Lord commands Pharaoh, "Then you shall say to
    Pharaoh, 'Thus says the Lord: "Israel is My son, My firstborn,"'" which applies the term to a whole nation to designate its chosen status, preeminence, and special relationship to God among all the nations of
    the earth.

    In Colossians 1:15, Jesus is described as "the firstborn of all
    creation," which the subsequent verses immediately define not as being
    part of creation, but as having supreme authority and preeminence over
    it, "for by Him all things were created." Finally, in Colossians 1:18,
    He is called "the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may
    have the preeminence," showing that the term denotes His rightful
    position of absolute supremacy, sovereignty, and headship over all things.

    You promote continual confusion and contradiction to what the Bible teaches.


    consubstantial with the Father;

    JESUS IS NOT FULLY GOD. GOD IS SUPERIOR. 1 COR 11:3


    You repeat the same stupid, refuted lies and confusion over and over.
    Husbands and wives are equal as human beings (Genesis 1:27), and as
    children of God (Galatians 3:28), but different in role and function (Ephesians 5:22-25). Your heresy would mean that if a wife submits to
    her husband, she's not human, and not a child of God.

    The Bible specifically states that Christ did not cling to His rights to
    be treated like God, but emptied Himself, voluntarily taking the form of
    a servant, in order to provide an atonement for our sins (Philippians
    2:1-6). The superiority of the Father is in role and function, not in
    essence of being.



    through him all things were made.


    The Bible says "all things", not all "other" things, like the NWT heresy
    Bible claims. That means He cannot be a created thing, but must be the Creator. That's why you and the other Satan's Witnesses realized you had
    to keep inserting the word "other" into Colossians 1, where it never
    occurs. And no, it wasn't for "clarity", since "all things" makes
    perfect, clear sense, unless you have predetermined to contradict and
    deny any reference in the Bible which clearly shows Jesus is God.


    THEY ALREADY SAID AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS CREED, THAT GOD MADE ALL
    THINGS. NOW THEY SAY JESUS DID. SOUNDS LIKE THEY ARE CONFUSED.


    The fact Jesus created "all things" proves He is God. The only confusion
    here is what you're trying to read lies into the Bible and what the
    church says.


    For us men and for our salvation
    he came down from heaven,
    and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,

    IF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS A PERSON, THEN HE IMPREGNATED MARY. YOUR CREED
    HERE IS BLASPHEMOUS.


    YOU are the one promoting blasphemy and confusion against the Holy Spirit.

    rCo To begin, both the Father and Spirit are persons. You can't
    have it being sin if the Holy Spirit (a person) causes her to
    conceive, but not sin if the Father (a person) caused her to
    conceive. By trying to associate the Holy Spirit with evil, you
    are unwittingly also implying that God the Father committed
    fornication.

    rCo Secondly, God doesn't have to have sexual relations with a
    woman to cause her to conceive. You fabricate blasphemy, then
    accuse others of it.


    and became man.
    For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
    he suffered death and was buried,

    JESUS WAS DEAD FOR 3 DAYS. GOD ALWAYS LIVED. THEY CAN'T BOTH BE GOD.


    You promote stupid lies and confusion. Jesus is both God and man
    (Philippians 2; John 1). His human body died, not His God nature.



    and rose again on the third day
    in accordance with the Scriptures.
    He ascended into heaven
    and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

    SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD SIGNIFIES A HIGH POSITION, BUT IS
    SUBJECTION TO THE ONE ON THE THRONE.


    See above. Your stupid lies would mean women can't be children of God or
    human beings, because they submit to their husbands. Christ voluntarily yielded His right to be treated like God, to take the form of a servant,
    so He could provide a propitiating, substitutionary atonement for our
    sins (Philippians 2). Submission pertains to role and function, not
    essence of being.


    He will come again in glory
    to judge the living and the dead
    and his kingdom will have no end.

    I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,

    IT IS GOD WHO GAVE LIFE. GEN 1:1.


    Which proves that the Father, Son, and Spirit are God:

    In John 6:63, Jesus states, "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing."

    In 2 Corinthians 3:6, the text states, "who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for
    the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life."

    In Romans 8:11, the text states, "But if the Spirit of Him who raised
    Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead
    will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells
    in you."

    In John 5:21, Jesus states, "For as the Father raises the dead and gives
    life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will."

    In John 10:28, Jesus states concerning His followers, "And I give them
    eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch
    them out of My hand."

    In John 1:3-4, the text states concerning the Son, "All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was
    life, and the life was the light of men."



    who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
    who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,

    THE HOLY SPIRIT IS GOD'S ACTIVE FORCE,


    There is no verse in Scripture that says the Holy Spirit is God's active force. That's the phrase you made up to deny and contradict what the
    Bible actually says. Scripture uniformly presents the Holy Spirit not as
    an impersonal force, but as a person who possesses the attributes of personalityrCosuch as a mind (Romans 8:27), emotions (Ephesians 4:30), and
    a will (1 Corinthians 12:11)rCoand who is explicitly identified as God
    (Acts 5:3-4).


    NOT A PERSON, ALLTHOUGH IT WAS
    PERSONIFIED.


    That's not what the Bible says. That's just the lie YOU keep repeating
    to contradict the Bible.

    The Bible personifies wisdom in Proverbs, but only in a generic sense.
    It says wisdom does things like warn people that adultery is foolish,
    advise them to fear God, etc. The Holy Spirit, by contrast, gives
    specific local information and instruction to specific believers, like informing Philip that there's an Ethiopian over here and that he should
    go witness to him (Acts). Personified wisdom never does things like that.


    IT CAN FILL MANY PEOPLE, ACTS 2:1-4:


    Which proves the Holy Spirit is God. Only God could fill many people.


    2 Now while the day of the Festival of Pentecost was in progress, they
    were all together at the same place. 2 Suddenly there was a noise from heaven, just like that of a rushing, stiff breeze, and it filled the
    whole house where they were sitting. 3 And tongues as if of fire
    became visible to them and were distributed, and one came to rest on
    each one of them, 4 and they all became filled with holy spirit and
    started to speak in different languages, just as the spirit enabled
    them to speak.

    DID IT CHOP ITSELF UP INTO PIECES TO FILL MANY PEOPLE?


    This is where, once again, you deny the God who exceeds human wisdom and calculation (Romans 11), to invent and worship a god that makes sense to
    your feeble comprehension. God can be everywhere at once without
    dividing Himself in pieces. In Him we live and move and have our being.
    God is present everywhere in a general sense, and living in the hearts
    of believers in a specific sense.


    who has spoken through the prophets.

    I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.

    THEY TRY TO MAKE EVERYONE CATHOLIC.


    You are a complete tool and imbecile. The word catholic comes from the
    Greek adjective katholikos, which means universal, general, or
    all-embracing. It is derived from the phrase kath' holou, meaning
    according to the whole, or throughout the whole. In a theological and historical context, the term denotes the universal nature of the church
    as a single, worldwide body spanning all times and places, rather than referring exclusively to a specific denomination.


    I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
    and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
    and the life of the world to come. Amen.[3]


    Which the Bible teaches is true for every believer, not just the
    144,000. Revelation 7 specifically states that the 144,000 are from the children of the tribes of "Israel", then contrasts that group with the multitudes from every tribe and tongue, who will also worship God around
    His throne. NOWHERE does the Bible teach the LIE that only 144,000
    believers will be with God.


    YOU MAY NOT BE AWARE IF IT, BUT YOU ARE FULFILLING SCRIPTURE AS WE
    SPEAK, MT 10:22:

    -- New King James
    Matthew 10:22 "And you will be hated by all for My name's sake. But
    he who endures to the end will be saved.


    Paul and James did not contradict each other. Justification can mean to
    make, declare, or show to be righteous. Paul is talking about
    justification in the sense of how God makes and declares a believer to
    be righteous. That is only by grace, only by faith in Christ, and only
    apart from our works.

    James talks about justification in the sense of showing yourself to be righteous to men. He specifically says show me your faith without works,
    and I'll show you my faith by my works. Thus, he's talking about
    justification in the sense of showing men that you are righteous, not in
    the sense of how a man becomes right with God.

    Romans 8 shows that those whom God justifies, He also glorifies.
    Glorification doesn't happen until the believer reaches glory. God
    speaks of it as an act already accomplished in the past. This means that everyone who ever actually trusts in Christ for salvation, will also be glorified. He's predestined to that outcome. Thus, endurance is the
    evidence of saving faith, not a condition by which men earn or
    contribute to a right standing and relationship with God. Jude confirms
    this (Jude 24-25).

    Good News rCa

    Jesus is God: christrose.news/Jesus-God.

    Salvation comes solely through the true gospel: that Christ died for our
    sins and rose from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Galatians 1:8-9). Any alternative gospel is false and results in conscious, eternal torment in
    the lake of fire (2 Thessalonians 1:8-9; John 3:18; Revelation 14:9-11; Revelation 19:20; Revelation 20:11-15). Rejecting the deity of Jesus
    means you will die in your sins (John 8:24).

    By dying on the cross, Christ canceled the legal debt of our sins
    against God (Colossians 2:14), and God validated this victory by raising
    Him from the grave (Romans 1:4). God is now able to justly declare
    sinners righteous (Romans 3:26) and spare them from His future wrath (1 Thessalonians 1:10). This grace is freely given to all who place their
    trust in Him (Romans 6:23). Put your faith in the Lord and call on His
    name to be saved (Romans 10:9-13):

    Jesus never was, is not, and never will be, God.


    The Bible exposes that claim as a blasphemous lie:

    Jesus was both with God and was God (not "was a god") in the beginning
    (John 1:1-2).

    As I keep repeating, the 2nd theos in that verse has no definite
    article (ho) before it. Greek scholars say then it acts like an
    adjective than an identity.

    Also verse 2 says Jesus had a beginning. Thus he was created. (Col
    1:15)

    In Him all the fullness of the godhead dwells in bodily
    form (Colossians 2:9).

    The Greek word for godhead is "theotes" and Strong says it means
    "divinity". Divinity means:

    "Divinity fundamentally refers to the state, quality, or nature of
    being divineuessentially possessing the essence of a deity, holiness,
    or godhood" (Merriam-Webster)

    That fits Jesus to the tee, since he is "a god" (NTIV) and all the
    angels must bow before him. (show deep respect, not worship)

    He is our great God and Savior (Titus 2:13).

    Look at the context. Verses 11 & 12 talk about Jehovah God. Thus "our
    great God" refers to Jehovah God.

    He
    is "my Lord and my God" (John 20:28).

    You forgot the explanation point "!". Also it doesn't say "He is". He
    just used an expression of surprise like, HOLY SMOKE!!

    The same writer later on describes Jesus not as God. So skip down to
    verse 31:

    He wrote that Jesus was the "Son of God". A son is never also his
    father.

    He received worship that angels
    reject (Revelation 22:8-9; Matthew 14:33).

    Reject what? Mt 14:33 of Strong's says the Greek word for "worship" is "proskuneo". And it means:

    "prostrate oneself in homage (do reverence to, adore):" It is that
    translator that sticks in the word "worship". Notice this one:

    -- New American with Apocrypha
    Matthew 14:33 Those who were in the boat did him homage, saying,
    "Truly, you are the Son of God."

    -- New Jerusalem with Apocrypha
    Matthew 14:33 The men in the boat bowed down before him and said,
    "Truly, you are the Son of God."

    So those in the boat didn't call him God, but the "Son of God".
    And that is similar what the angel Gabriel called Jesus:

    -- Revised Standard
    Luke 1:32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most
    High; and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father
    David,...

    The Jews attempted to stone
    Him for making himself equal to God (John 10:33).

    Don't take to heart every thing those Jews say. They once said that
    Jesus got his powers from Satan.


    "All things" were
    created through Him, not all "other" things (John 1:3; Colossians 1:16).

    Then Jesus created himself?

    He did not consider equality with God something to cling to, but emptied >Himself and became obedient to provide an atonement for our sins >(Philippians 2:6-8). The disciples repeatedly equated Jesus Christ with
    the "Kyrios" the LXX attributed to YHWH (Romans 10:9-13; Philippians
    2:11; 1 Corinthians 12:3).

    Staying with the same false statement I see. Then so will I stay with
    the same true statement. The LXX that you use, is from the 4th
    century. There are fragments of OLDER copies. And they don't say
    "Lord". They kept the Tetragrammaton in the text. For example:

    "P. Fouad Inv. 266".



    Yet, we know


    Who's the "we" you claim to represent? Teachings aren't established as
    right or wrong based on how many people agree with you. That you are >apparently trying to rest your claims on people agreeing with you,
    rather than the plain teaching of the Bible, exposes the weakness of
    your view.

    There you go again, you are trying to psychoanalyze me. Please don't
    get into that line of work, since you are not that good at it.
    I don't lie. I may screw up and quote the wrong Scripture or
    something, but that is not a lie just a mistake. learn to distinguish
    that.



    of the churches' teaching that God is a Trinity. Thus he
    has 3 personalities.


    o Neither the Bible nor the church teaches that God is one person
    with three different personalities.

    You are all wrong, You make God to be made up of 3 persons with their
    own personalities. Like what Jesus said:

    -- New King James
    John 5:30 "I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My
    judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will
    of the Father who sent Me.

    TWO SEPARATE WILLS. And also this one:

    -- American Standard
    Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the
    angels of heaven, neither the Son, but the Father only.

    Logically Jesus cannot be God.


    They might as well since they say God consists of 3 persons.

    o The Bible and the church teach God is one being (Deuteronomy
    6:4), yet three distinct persons

    That's makes God become a multiple personality. And in this case, it
    can't be cured.

    (Matthew 28:19). Each person
    (Father, Son, and Spirit), has his own, single, unique
    identity.

    o The mental illness you described involves a single person with
    up to 200 different personalities. That's not the same as three
    distinct persons who each have but one unique identity.

    Actually it is the same. Each personality is different. (like some
    wear glasses, and some don't) And they all have a unique identity,
    Their host. (the original person)

    Thus
    you promote confusion, lies, and blasphemy about what the Bible
    and the church teaches.

    What the churches teach is "confusion, lies, and blasphemy". They are
    so different from true Bible teachings, that it is not even funny.



    Once again, the Satan's Witness accuser of the brethren promotes lies
    against the church and the Bible.

    OK, then you are calling the teaching that God is a Trinity, a lie?


    Idem. You misrepresented what both the Bible and church teach about the >triune nature of God.

    I hear you, but I don't see any proof.



    The Bible teaches there is only one God Being (Deuteronomy 6:4, Isaiah
    45:5, 1 Corinthians 8:6). The Bible teaches that three distinct
    persons are God (Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:14, 1 Peter 1:2). Neither the
    Bible nor the church teaches that God has three personalities.

    Persons, with personalities.


    idem. Notice, you now change your claim to "persons" with
    "personalities" (one personality per person). Before (see above) you
    tried to define the trinity teaching as meaning one person had three >different personalities. The Bible and church teach God is one being,
    yet three distinct persons,

    Mathematically, in other words 1= 3. And you expect people to believe
    that. Sadly many do. The Trinity has been put in like the prime
    attraction to Christendom. To call the Trinity bogus, is to step on a
    lot of toes. But like Jesus, the truth needs to be spoken.

    God is looking for those with ACCURATE knowledge. Notice:

    -- King James
    Romans 10:2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but
    not according to knowledge.

    Strong says the Greek word for "knowledge" is "epignosis", and that
    word means:

    "Strong's Ref. # 1922

    Romanized epignosis
    Pronounced ep-ig'-no-sis

    from GSN1921; recognition, i.e. (by implication) full discernment, acknowledgement:

    It says that "epignosis" can mean "full discernment"which goes with
    Romans 10:2.

    with one personality per person, not that
    God is one person with three personalities. You fabricate your own lies, >falsely pretend they represent the teaching of the church, then
    grand-stand against your own fabrications.



    So again, your logic is that 1= 3. (please don't become a math
    teacher) That 4th century Trinity doctrine is what the churches
    assimilated . If God is made up of 3 personalities, yet is only ONE
    GOD (Deut 6:4), then he suffers from Multiple Personalities. (DID) You
    can't have it both ways.


    idem. That's the formula you fabricated to misrepresent the Bible and >church. The Bible and church say that when it comes to God the being,
    it's 1 God x 1 God x 1 God = 1 God. The Bible and church teach that 1
    unique Person + 1 Unique Person, + 1 Unique Person = 3 persons (Father,
    Son, and Spirit). So it's one God, three persons, one identity per
    person, not multiple identities per one person.

    Yes it is, you have made it come out that way. There are multiple
    identities within God, according to you. That makes Him a DID,
    Dissociative Identity Disorder person. Each personality is unique.
    Like today, some wear glasses, some don't. Their voices are different.
    So is their names, also, they may not know what the others know, etc.



    The Council of Nicaea at 325 CE, defines the Trinity of today. That
    council was NOT inspired (2 Tim 3:16) of God,
    but inspired by imperfect men of the Catholic Church.


    The Bible and the church teach God is one being (Deuteronomy 6:4), yet
    three distinct persons (Matthew 28:19). The church does NOT teach God is
    one person with three different personalities.

    Whether they teach it or not, that is what the truth of the matter is,
    if God is a Trinity. It is an illogical doctrine, and comes from the
    4th century.



    They created the Trinitarian Nicene Creed. The Nicene Creed as found
    on the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops in 2011:

    "I believe in one God,
    the Father almighty,
    maker of heaven and earth,
    of all things visible and invisible.

    IT SAYS GOD IS THE CREATOR OF "ALL THINGS".

    I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
    the Only Begotten Son of God,
    born of the Father before all ages.


    Idem.


    [IF JESUS WAS BORN, THEN HE CAN'T BE GOD, SINCE GOD ALWAYS WAS. PS
    90:2]


    You promote stupid lies. He was God in the beginning (John 1), yet He
    had to be born into a human body at a point in time, to provide a >substitutionary atone for our sins.

    You still don't get it. It's not that complicated. Jesus was the first
    of God's creations. Everything else was created by God (Gen 1:1)
    through Jesus:

    -- New King James
    Revelation 3:14 "And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans
    write, `These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God:




    God from God, Light from Light,
    true God from true God,

    [ILLOGICAL. IT IS LIKE ME SAYING "I CAME FROM ME"]


    o The God of the Bible exceeds human comprehension and
    investigation (Romans 11:33-34). If that doesn't make sense to
    your puny faculties of reasoning, you fabricate something which
    does, and call it "God".

    Not at all,


    o The fact Jesus came from God confirms He and the Father are
    distinct persons. One God being, three distinct persons.

    You then seem to think that ridicules Bible teachings like the pagan
    4th century Trinity are OK to believe because God exceeds human
    comprehension. Then people could believe anything if they say it comes
    from God. The Bible doesn't work that way.

    Paul is one of many examples who have Holy Spirit. Notice what Paul
    did at Acts 17:2,

    -- New King James
    Acts 17:2 Then Paul, as his custom was, went in to them, and for
    three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures,

    Thus we don't just gulp down a Bible doctrine given by another person.
    We REASON on the Scriptures to verify it. The Bereans were wise in
    that area: Acts 17:10.11,

    10. Then the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night
    to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews.
    11. These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that
    they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures
    daily to find out whether these things were so. (NKJV)

    Have you followed his example? If the churches say 'believe the
    Trinity', do you just gulp it down? Like the RCC teaching of Limbo?




    begotten, not made,


    Clue: "begotten" in English translation "only begotten" (e.g. John 1:14)
    is a single word in Greek: monogenes.

    monogenes is derived from "monos" (only) and "genos" (kind, class, or
    kind of being). It signifies being the unique, unique-in-kind, or >one-of-a-kind representation of the Father. When used of Jesus, it
    denotes His unique relationship to the Father, distinct from believers
    who become children of God through adoption (John 1:12).

    When Hebrews says "today I have begotten you", it's talking about the
    day He raised Christ from the dead, not to Him being created. So you are saying, since Jesus is God, that Jesus raised himself?
    Yes I know, like the Trinity, we can never comprehend all of God.



    CONTRADICTS COL 1:15.


    You promote the same refuted lies and confusion over and over. It is you
    and Satan's Witnesses who contradict Colossians 1:15. You promote the
    lie and confusion that any time the word "firstborn" appears, it must
    refer to the order in which something was created. This is false.

    In Psalm 89:27, God declares concerning David, "I also will make him My >firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth," which establishes >firstborn as a title of preeminence and supreme rank, given that David
    was actually the youngest son of Jesse rather than the first >chronologically.

    Similarly, in Jeremiah 31:9, God states, "For I am a Father to Israel,
    and Ephraim is My firstborn," despite the fact that Manasseh was the >chronologically older brother of Ephraim, demonstrating that the title >signifies a designation of priority and covenant inheritance.

    In Exodus 4:22, the Lord commands Pharaoh, "Then you shall say to
    Pharaoh, 'Thus says the Lord: "Israel is My son, My firstborn,"'" which >applies the term to a whole nation to designate its chosen status, >preeminence, and special relationship to God among all the nations of
    the earth.

    In Colossians 1:15, Jesus is described as "the firstborn of all
    creation," which the subsequent verses immediately define not as being
    part of creation, but as having supreme authority and preeminence over
    it, "for by Him all things were created."

    Finally, in Colossians 1:18,
    He is called "the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may
    have the preeminence,"

    But not over God:

    -- King James
    1 Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every
    man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of
    Christ is God.




    showing that the term denotes His rightful
    position of absolute supremacy, sovereignty, and headship over all things.

    But not over God. (1 Cor 11:3)


    You promote continual confusion and contradiction to what the Bible teaches.

    I see words, but no proof.



    consubstantial with the Father;

    JESUS IS NOT FULLY GOD. GOD IS SUPERIOR. 1 COR 11:3


    You repeat the same stupid, refuted lies and confusion over and over. >Husbands and wives are equal as human beings (Genesis 1:27), and as
    children of God (Galatians 3:28), but different in role and function >(Ephesians 5:22-25). Your heresy would mean that if a wife submits to
    her husband, she's not human, and not a child of God.

    The Bible specifically states that Christ did not cling to His rights to
    be treated like God, but emptied Himself, voluntarily taking the form of
    a servant, in order to provide an atonement for our sins (Philippians >2:1-6). The superiority of the Father is in role and function, not in >essence of being.

    It doesn't quantify God being the head of Christ in Heaven. It just
    says God is the head of Jesus.




    through him all things were made.


    The Bible says "all things", not all "other" things, like the NWT heresy >Bible claims. That means He cannot be a created thing, but must be the >Creator.






    That's why you and the other Satan's Witnesses realized you had
    to keep inserting the word "other" into Colossians 1, where it never
    occurs. And no, it wasn't for "clarity", since "all things" makes
    perfect, clear sense, unless you have predetermined to contradict and
    deny any reference in the Bible which clearly shows Jesus is God.

    Not at all. This is two times you said the NWT added something. All
    Bibles occasionaly add words for understanding.
    But more than that, your Bible REMOVED THE TETRAGRAMMATON in the OT
    and added the word "Lord", which it never occurs. Yours did it about
    7000 TIMES!!!

    So the score is now about 7000 to 2.



    THEY ALREADY SAID AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS CREED, THAT GOD MADE ALL
    THINGS. NOW THEY SAY JESUS DID. SOUNDS LIKE THEY ARE CONFUSED.



    The fact Jesus created "all things" proves He is God.

    On the contrary, your claim contradicts Gen 1:1. It's not that hard.
    God created Jesus (Col 1:15) And God continued to create all things
    through Jesus.

    The only confusion
    here is what you're trying to read lies into the Bible and what the
    church says.

    Not at all. You keep saying "church" not 'churches'. Thus you claim
    your religion is the true one. Next to JW's, That is what the
    Catholics say. But they have also added things not in the Bible. Like
    Purgatory and Limbo and Trinity and hellfire and immortal souls and
    etc and etc.




    For us men and for our salvation
    he came down from heaven,
    and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,

    IF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS A PERSON, THEN HE IMPREGNATED MARY. YOUR CREED
    HERE IS BLASPHEMOUS.


    YOU are the one promoting blasphemy and confusion against the Holy Spirit.

    More opinions but no proof.


    o To begin, both the Father and Spirit are persons. You can't
    have it being sin if the Holy Spirit (a person) causes her to
    conceive, but not sin if the Father (a person) caused her to
    conceive.

    The Holy Spirit can get inside a person. (fill a person) God does not.

    By trying to associate the Holy Spirit with evil, you
    are unwittingly also implying that God the Father committed
    fornication.

    It isn't me, I am saying IF YOU BELIEVE THE HOLY SPIRIT IS A PERSON,
    you cause that conclusion to be reached.

    Here is the truth about such things. The Holy Spirit is God's active
    force that accomplishes God's will. It is quite holy since it is
    called the HOLY SPIRIT. You shouldn't even mention the Holy Spirit is
    evil. Some might mistaken what you said.


    o Secondly, God doesn't have to have sexual relations with a
    woman to cause her to conceive. You fabricate blasphemy, then
    accuse others of it.

    God is a Spirit, thus has no gender. (John 4:24)



    and became man.
    For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
    he suffered death and was buried,

    JESUS WAS DEAD FOR 3 DAYS. GOD ALWAYS LIVED. THEY CAN'T BOTH BE GOD.


    You promote stupid lies and confusion. Jesus is both God and man >(Philippians 2; John 1). His human body died, not His God nature.
    He gave all of that up when he became human. (emptyed it)




    and rose again on the third day
    in accordance with the Scriptures.
    He ascended into heaven
    and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

    SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD SIGNIFIES A HIGH POSITION, BUT IS
    SUBJECTION TO THE ONE ON THE THRONE.


    See above. Your stupid lies would mean women can't be children of God or >human beings, because they submit to their husbands.

    Christ and God are not husband and wife. God has an arragement of
    things and is highly organized. He had Paul say this at 1 Cor 11:3.


    Christ voluntarily
    yielded His right to be treated like God, to take the form of a servant,
    so He could provide a propitiating, substitutionary atonement for our
    sins (Philippians 2). Submission pertains to role and function, not
    essence of being.

    Jesus said that God was greater than him. (John 14:28) Paul wrote that
    God is over Jesus in Heaven. Those are two Bible truths. Your
    interpretation condtradicts Scripture, such as we just discussed, John
    14:28 and 1 Cor 11:3.



    He will come again in glory
    to judge the living and the dead
    and his kingdom will have no end.

    I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,

    IT IS GOD WHO GAVE LIFE. GEN 1:1.


    Which proves that the Father, Son, and Spirit are God:
    How in the world does that prove the pagan Trinity??

    In John 6:63, Jesus states, "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh >profits nothing."

    In 2 Corinthians 3:6, the text states, "who also made us sufficient as >ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for
    the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life."

    In Romans 8:11, the text states, "But if the Spirit of Him who raised
    Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead
    will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells
    in you."

    Yes, God's Spirit is life giving. How does that make a Trinity?


    In John 5:21, Jesus states, "For as the Father raises the dead and gives >life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will."

    In John 10:28, Jesus states concerning His followers, "And I give them >eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch
    them out of My hand."

    In John 1:3-4, the text states concerning the Son, "All things were made >through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was >life, and the life was the light of men."

    Yes, after he was created, God created things THROUGH Jesus.




    who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
    who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,

    THE HOLY SPIRIT IS GOD'S ACTIVE FORCE,


    There is no verse in Scripture that says the Holy Spirit is God's active >force. That's the phrase you made up to deny and contradict what the
    Bible actually says. Scripture uniformly presents the Holy Spirit not as
    an impersonal force, but as a person who possesses the attributes of >personalityusuch as a mind (Romans 8:27), emotions (Ephesians 4:30), and
    a will (1 Corinthians 12:11)uand who is explicitly identified as God
    (Acts 5:3-4).

    That's called personification, just like wisdom is personified.



    NOT A PERSON, ALLTHOUGH IT WAS
    PERSONIFIED.


    That's not what the Bible says. That's just the lie YOU keep repeating
    to contradict the Bible.

    God knows I don't lie. I stick to the Bible only. I have found the NWT
    compared to many other popular tranlations, to be superior to all.

    The Bible personifies wisdom in Proverbs, but only in a generic sense.
    It says wisdom does things like warn people that adultery is foolish,
    advise them to fear God, etc. The Holy Spirit, by contrast, gives
    specific local information and instruction to specific believers, like >informing Philip that there's an Ethiopian over here and that he should
    go witness to him (Acts). Personified wisdom never does things like that.

    So they differ a bit. What's your point?



    IT CAN FILL MANY PEOPLE, ACTS 2:1-4:


    Which proves the Holy Spirit is God. Only God could fill many people.

    So can a supernatural energy and force from Jehovah.



    2 Now while the day of the Festival of Pentecost was in progress, they
    were all together at the same place. 2 Suddenly there was a noise from
    heaven, just like that of a rushing, stiff breeze, and it filled the
    whole house where they were sitting. 3 And tongues as if of fire
    became visible to them and were distributed, and one came to rest on
    each one of them, 4 and they all became filled with holy spirit and
    started to speak in different languages, just as the spirit enabled
    them to speak.

    DID IT CHOP ITSELF UP INTO PIECES TO FILL MANY PEOPLE?


    This is where, once again, you deny the God who exceeds human wisdom and >calculation (Romans 11), to invent and worship a god that makes sense to >your feeble comprehension. God can be everywhere at once without
    dividing Himself in pieces. In Him we live and move and have our being.
    God is present everywhere in a general sense, and living in the hearts
    of believers in a specific sense.

    We were talking about the Holy Spirit not the body of God.



    who has spoken through the prophets.

    I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.

    THEY TRY TO MAKE EVERYONE CATHOLIC.


    You are a complete tool and imbecile. The word catholic comes from the
    Greek adjective katholikos, which means universal, general, or >all-embracing.



    It is derived from the phrase kath' holou, meaning
    according to the whole, or throughout the whole. In a theological and >historical context, the term denotes the universal nature of the church
    as a single, worldwide body spanning all times and places, rather than >referring exclusively to a specific denomination.

    So??


    I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
    and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
    and the life of the world to come. Amen.[3]


    Which the Bible teaches is true for every believer, not just the
    144,000. Revelation 7 specifically states that the 144,000 are from the >children of the tribes of "Israel",

    Check out those tribes. They are not all Israelite tribes.


    then contrasts that group with the
    multitudes from every tribe and tongue, who will also worship God around
    His throne. NOWHERE does the Bible teach the LIE that only 144,000
    believers will be with God.

    The 144,000 are referred to as a "little flock". (LUke 12:32) They are

    YOU MAY NOT BE AWARE IF IT, BUT YOU ARE FULFILLING SCRIPTURE AS WE
    SPEAK, MT 10:22:

    -- New King James
    Matthew 10:22 "And you will be hated by all for My name's sake. But
    he who endures to the end will be saved.


    Paul and James did not contradict each other. Justification can mean to >make, declare, or show to be righteous. Paul is talking about
    justification in the sense of how God makes and declares a believer to
    be righteous. That is only by grace, only by faith in Christ, and only
    apart from our works.

    A Bible truth: -- New King James
    James 2:20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without
    works is dead?


    James talks about justification in the sense of showing yourself to be >righteous to men. He specifically says show me your faith without works,
    and I'll show you my faith by my works. Thus, he's talking about >justification in the sense of showing men that you are righteous, not in
    the sense of how a man becomes right with God.

    Romans 8 shows that those whom God justifies, He also glorifies. >Glorification doesn't happen until the believer reaches glory. God
    speaks of it as an act already accomplished in the past. This means that >everyone who ever actually trusts in Christ for salvation, will also be >glorified.

    Not really. Notice:

    - New King James
    Matthew 24:13 "But he who endures to the end shall be saved.
    There is no 'once saved, always saved.

    He's predestined to that outcome. Thus, endurance is the
    evidence of saving faith, not a condition by which men earn or
    contribute to a right standing and relationship with God. Jude confirms
    this (Jude 24-25).

    Jesus never was, is not, and never will be, God


    The Bible exposes that claim as a blasphemous lie:

    Jesus was both with God and was God (not "was a god")

    Listen to what you are saying. It is illogical. Let's say it in
    different terms: he was with Sam, and was Sam. You can't see the
    illogic of it? That all stems from that 4th century false Trinity
    doctrine.

    A group of uninspired men in the 4th century, TOOK THAT DOCTRINE AND INCORPERATED IT INTO CHRISTENDOM! It don't exist in the Bible. It is
    the word of men, not the word of God.

    It is just like translators took out the thousands of Tetragrammatons
    found in the OT, and stuck in the word "Lord". That is a gross mistake
    of those translators. For example,

    Here is the KJV translation of Ps 83:18,

    -- King James
    Psalms 83:18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is
    Jehovah, art the most high over all the earth.

    Now look at your translation at Ps 83:18 in the ESV:

    "that they may know that you alone,
    whose name is the Lord,
    are the Most High over all the earth."

    Why aren't you shouting from house tops the deliberate changing of the Scriptures not only once, but thousands of times? Yet you accept that
    hands down. Why? It even makes God a LIAR here. Lord is a title, NOT A
    NAME. You need to rethink your beliefs BASED on the BIBLE this time.
    And leave behind the churches' teachings.

    The Greek Septuagint that you say "Lord" is found there, is of the 4th
    century. They have OLDER fragments around the 1st century BCE that
    shows the Tetragrammaton in place there. It was not replaced. Thus the
    original Septuagint contained God's name. I even gave you the name of
    a fragment: "P. Fouad inv. 266", dated 1 BCE.

    But back to the bogus John 1:1. You should know that Greek translation
    rule by now, which John 1:1 says.

    Thus you promote confusion, lies, and blasphemy about what the >Bible and the church teaches.

    MANY of the things that churches teach are bogus:

    Trinity, (from 4th century)
    all righteous go to Heaven,
    hellfire,
    immortal soul,
    the celebration of pagan holidays such as Easter and Halloween,
    Catholics calling their priests "Father",
    the pagan cross for the symbol of Christianity,
    Mormon's teaching different gospel,

    prayers for the dead,
    pedophiles,
    forbidding certain foods,
    some forbidding alcohol,
    Jesus turned the water into grape juice,
    Jesus is Jehovah God,
    God tortures with fire unrighteous people for all eternity,
    the no name Holy Spirit is a person,
    they make no attempt to call God by a NAME,
    the resurrected ones get judged right away,
    they are not fulfilling Mt 24:14,
    they are supposed to be "no part of the world" but they are,
    confessionals,
    praying to saints,
    mother of God,
    Jesus returns physically to earth,
    Jesus was resurrected with a physical body,
    They don't obey "abstain...from blood",
    At physical death they say they continue to live,
    They will go to war and kill the enemy when politician says to,
    they teach that must obey the 10 commandments,
    Purgatory,
    Limbo,
    Many believe in evolution,
    Don't teach people living on the earth forever,
    All needed for eternal life is faith in Jesus,
    Once saved always saved,
    They use images in their worship,
    Don't teach that Jesus was created by God,
    They mock the best Bible translation of all, NWT,
    Teach that must obey Sabbath,
    They don't teach that Satan is ruling this planet,
    They don't teach that death removes all sins as Paul says,
    Don't teach that all Mosaic laws ended when Christ died,
    They don't teach that Jesus was archangel Michael,
    Don't teach that Jesus return will be invisible,
    They don't teach that none of OT people went to Heaven,

    And you wonder why I don't support the churches!

    in the beginning
    (John 1:1-2). In Him all the fullness of the godhead dwells in bodily
    form (Colossians 2:9). He is our great God and Savior (Titus 2:13). He
    is "my Lord and my God" (John 20:28). He received worship that angels
    reject (Revelation 22:8-9; Matthew 14:33). The Jews attempted to stone
    Him for making himself equal to God (John 10:33). "All things" were
    created through Him, not all "other" things (John 1:3; Colossians 1:16).
    He did not consider equality with God something to cling to, but emptied >Himself and became obedient to provide an atonement for our sins >(Philippians 2:6-8). The disciples repeatedly equated Jesus Christ with
    the "Kyrios" the LXX attributed to YHWH (Romans 10:9-13; Philippians
    2:11; 1 Corinthians 12:3).


    Yet, we know


    Who's the "we" you claim to represent? Teachings aren't established as
    right or wrong based on how many people agree with you. That you are >apparently trying to rest your claims on people agreeing with you,
    rather than the plain teaching of the Bible, exposes the weakness of
    your view.


    of the churches' teaching that God is a Trinity. Thus he
    has 3 personalities.


    o Neither the Bible nor the church teaches that God is one person
    with three different personalities.

    o The Bible and the church teach God is one being (Deuteronomy
    6:4), yet three distinct persons (Matthew 28:19). Each person
    (Father, Son, and Spirit), has his own, single, unique
    identity.

    o The mental illness you described involves a single person with
    up to 200 different personalities. That's not the same as three
    distinct persons who each have but one unique identity. Thus
    you promote confusion, lies, and blasphemy about what the Bible
    and the church teaches.





    Once again, the Satan's Witness accuser of the brethren promotes lies
    against the church and the Bible.

    OK, then you are calling the teaching that God is a Trinity, a lie?


    Idem. You misrepresented what both the Bible and church teach about the >triune nature of God.


    The Bible teaches there is only one God Being (Deuteronomy 6:4, Isaiah
    45:5, 1 Corinthians 8:6). The Bible teaches that three distinct
    persons are God (Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:14, 1 Peter 1:2). Neither the
    Bible nor the church teaches that God has three personalities.

    Persons, with personalities.


    idem. Notice, you now change your claim to "persons" with
    "personalities" (one personality per person). Before (see above) you
    tried to define the trinity teaching as meaning one person had three >different personalities. The Bible and church teach God is one being,
    yet three distinct persons, with one personality per person, not that
    God is one person with three personalities. You fabricate your own lies, >falsely pretend they represent the teaching of the church, then
    grand-stand against your own fabrications.



    So again, your logic is that 1= 3. (please don't become a math
    teacher) That 4th century Trinity doctrine is what the churches
    assimilated . If God is made up of 3 personalities, yet is only ONE
    GOD (Deut 6:4), then he suffers from Multiple Personalities. (DID) You
    can't have it both ways.


    idem. That's the formula you fabricated to misrepresent the Bible and >church. The Bible and church say that when it comes to God the being,
    it's 1 God x 1 God x 1 God = 1 God. The Bible and church teach that 1
    unique Person + 1 Unique Person, + 1 Unique Person = 3 persons (Father,
    Son, and Spirit). So it's one God, three persons, one identity per
    person, not multiple identities per one person.



    The Council of Nicaea at 325 CE, defines the Trinity of today. That
    council was NOT inspired (2 Tim 3:16) of God,
    but inspired by imperfect men of the Catholic Church.


    The Bible and the church teach God is one being (Deuteronomy 6:4), yet
    three distinct persons (Matthew 28:19). The church does NOT teach God is
    one person with three different personalities.


    They created the Trinitarian Nicene Creed. The Nicene Creed as found
    on the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops in 2011:

    "I believe in one God,
    the Father almighty,
    maker of heaven and earth,
    of all things visible and invisible.

    IT SAYS GOD IS THE CREATOR OF "ALL THINGS".

    I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
    the Only Begotten Son of God,
    born of the Father before all ages.


    Idem.


    [IF JESUS WAS BORN, THEN HE CAN'T BE GOD, SINCE GOD ALWAYS WAS. PS
    90:2]


    You promote stupid lies. He was God in the beginning (John 1), yet He
    had to be born into a human body at a point in time, to provide a >substitutionary atone for our sins.


    God from God, Light from Light,
    true God from true God,

    [ILLOGICAL. IT IS LIKE ME SAYING "I CAME FROM ME"]


    o The God of the Bible exceeds human comprehension and
    investigation (Romans 11:33-34). If that doesn't make sense to
    your puny faculties of reasoning, you fabricate something which
    does, and call it "God".

    o The fact Jesus came from God confirms He and the Father are
    distinct persons. One God being, three distinct persons.



    begotten, not made,


    Clue: "begotten" in English translation "only begotten" (e.g. John 1:14)
    is a single word in Greek: monogenes.

    monogenes is derived from "monos" (only) and "genos" (kind, class, or
    kind of being). It signifies being the unique, unique-in-kind, or >one-of-a-kind representation of the Father. When used of Jesus, it
    denotes His unique relationship to the Father, distinct from believers
    who become children of God through adoption (John 1:12).

    When Hebrews says "today I have begotten you", it's talking about the
    day He raised Christ from the dead, not to Him being created.


    CONTRADICTS COL 1:15.


    You promote the same refuted lies and confusion over and over. It is you
    and Satan's Witnesses who contradict Colossians 1:15. You promote the
    lie and confusion that any time the word "firstborn" appears, it must
    refer to the order in which something was created. This is false.

    In Psalm 89:27, God declares concerning David, "I also will make him My >firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth," which establishes >firstborn as a title of preeminence and supreme rank, given that David
    was actually the youngest son of Jesse rather than the first >chronologically.

    Similarly, in Jeremiah 31:9, God states, "For I am a Father to Israel,
    and Ephraim is My firstborn," despite the fact that Manasseh was the >chronologically older brother of Ephraim, demonstrating that the title >signifies a designation of priority and covenant inheritance.

    In Exodus 4:22, the Lord commands Pharaoh, "Then you shall say to
    Pharaoh, 'Thus says the Lord: "Israel is My son, My firstborn,"'" which >applies the term to a whole nation to designate its chosen status, >preeminence, and special relationship to God among all the nations of
    the earth.

    In Colossians 1:15, Jesus is described as "the firstborn of all
    creation," which the subsequent verses immediately define not as being
    part of creation, but as having supreme authority and preeminence over
    it, "for by Him all things were created." Finally, in Colossians 1:18,
    He is called "the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may
    have the preeminence," showing that the term denotes His rightful
    position of absolute supremacy, sovereignty, and headship over all things.

    You promote continual confusion and contradiction to what the Bible teaches.


    consubstantial with the Father;

    JESUS IS NOT FULLY GOD. GOD IS SUPERIOR. 1 COR 11:3


    You repeat the same stupid, refuted lies and confusion over and over. >Husbands and wives are equal as human beings (Genesis 1:27), and as
    children of God (Galatians 3:28), but different in role and function >(Ephesians 5:22-25). Your heresy would mean that if a wife submits to
    her husband, she's not human, and not a child of God.

    The Bible specifically states that Christ did not cling to His rights to
    be treated like God, but emptied Himself, voluntarily taking the form of
    a servant, in order to provide an atonement for our sins (Philippians >2:1-6). The superiority of the Father is in role and function, not in >essence of being.



    through him all things were made.


    The Bible says "all things", not all "other" things, like the NWT heresy >Bible claims. That means He cannot be a created thing, but must be the >Creator. That's why you and the other Satan's Witnesses realized you had
    to keep inserting the word "other" into Colossians 1, where it never
    occurs. And no, it wasn't for "clarity", since "all things" makes
    perfect, clear sense, unless you have predetermined to contradict and
    deny any reference in the Bible which clearly shows Jesus is God.


    THEY ALREADY SAID AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS CREED, THAT GOD MADE ALL
    THINGS. NOW THEY SAY JESUS DID. SOUNDS LIKE THEY ARE CONFUSED.


    The fact Jesus created "all things" proves He is God. The only confusion >here is what you're trying to read lies into the Bible and what the
    church says.


    For us men and for our salvation
    he came down from heaven,
    and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,

    IF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS A PERSON, THEN HE IMPREGNATED MARY. YOUR CREED
    HERE IS BLASPHEMOUS.


    YOU are the one promoting blasphemy and confusion against the Holy Spirit.

    o To begin, both the Father and Spirit are persons. You can't
    have it being sin if the Holy Spirit (a person) causes her to
    conceive, but not sin if the Father (a person) caused her to
    conceive. By trying to associate the Holy Spirit with evil, you
    are unwittingly also implying that God the Father committed
    fornication.

    o Secondly, God doesn't have to have sexual relations with a
    woman to cause her to conceive. You fabricate blasphemy, then
    accuse others of it.


    and became man.
    For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
    he suffered death and was buried,

    JESUS WAS DEAD FOR 3 DAYS. GOD ALWAYS LIVED. THEY CAN'T BOTH BE GOD.


    You promote stupid lies and confusion. Jesus is both God and man >(Philippians 2; John 1). His human body died, not His God nature.



    and rose again on the third day
    in accordance with the Scriptures.
    He ascended into heaven
    and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

    SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD SIGNIFIES A HIGH POSITION, BUT IS
    SUBJECTION TO THE ONE ON THE THRONE.


    See above. Your stupid lies would mean women can't be children of God or >human beings, because they submit to their husbands. Christ voluntarily >yielded His right to be treated like God, to take the form of a servant,
    so He could provide a propitiating, substitutionary atonement for our
    sins (Philippians 2). Submission pertains to role and function, not
    essence of being.


    He will come again in glory
    to judge the living and the dead
    and his kingdom will have no end.

    I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,

    IT IS GOD WHO GAVE LIFE. GEN 1:1.


    Which proves that the Father, Son, and Spirit are God:

    In John 6:63, Jesus states, "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh >profits nothing."

    In 2 Corinthians 3:6, the text states, "who also made us sufficient as >ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for
    the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life."

    In Romans 8:11, the text states, "But if the Spirit of Him who raised
    Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead
    will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells
    in you."

    In John 5:21, Jesus states, "For as the Father raises the dead and gives >life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will."

    In John 10:28, Jesus states concerning His followers, "And I give them >eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch
    them out of My hand."

    In John 1:3-4, the text states concerning the Son, "All things were made >through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was >life, and the life was the light of men."



    who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
    who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,

    THE HOLY SPIRIT IS GOD'S ACTIVE FORCE,


    There is no verse in Scripture that says the Holy Spirit is God's active >force. That's the phrase you made up to deny and contradict what the
    Bible actually says. Scripture uniformly presents the Holy Spirit not as
    an impersonal force, but as a person who possesses the attributes of >personalityusuch as a mind (Romans 8:27), emotions (Ephesians 4:30), and
    a will (1 Corinthians 12:11)uand who is explicitly identified as God
    (Acts 5:3-4).


    NOT A PERSON, ALLTHOUGH IT WAS
    PERSONIFIED.


    That's not what the Bible says. That's just the lie YOU keep repeating
    to contradict the Bible.

    The Bible personifies wisdom in Proverbs, but only in a generic sense.
    It says wisdom does things like warn people that adultery is foolish,
    advise them to fear God, etc. The Holy Spirit, by contrast, gives
    specific local information and instruction to specific believers, like >informing Philip that there's an Ethiopian over here and that he should
    go witness to him (Acts). Personified wisdom never does things like that.


    IT CAN FILL MANY PEOPLE, ACTS 2:1-4:


    Which proves the Holy Spirit is God. Only God could fill many people.


    2 Now while the day of the Festival of Pentecost was in progress, they
    were all together at the same place. 2 Suddenly there was a noise from
    heaven, just like that of a rushing, stiff breeze, and it filled the
    whole house where they were sitting. 3 And tongues as if of fire
    became visible to them and were distributed, and one came to rest on
    each one of them, 4 and they all became filled with holy spirit and
    started to speak in different languages, just as the spirit enabled
    them to speak.

    DID IT CHOP ITSELF UP INTO PIECES TO FILL MANY PEOPLE?


    This is where, once again, you deny the God who exceeds human wisdom and >calculation (Romans 11), to invent and worship a god that makes sense to >your feeble comprehension. God can be everywhere at once without
    dividing Himself in pieces. In Him we live and move and have our being.
    God is present everywhere in a general sense, and living in the hearts
    of believers in a specific sense.


    who has spoken through the prophets.

    I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.

    THEY TRY TO MAKE EVERYONE CATHOLIC.


    You are a complete tool and imbecile. The word catholic comes from the
    Greek adjective katholikos, which means universal, general, or >all-embracing. It is derived from the phrase kath' holou, meaning
    according to the whole, or throughout the whole. In a theological and >historical context, the term denotes the universal nature of the church
    as a single, worldwide body spanning all times and places, rather than >referring exclusively to a specific denomination.


    I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
    and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
    and the life of the world to come. Amen.[3]


    Which the Bible teaches is true for every believer, not just the
    144,000. Revelation 7 specifically states that the 144,000 are from the >children of the tribes of "Israel", then contrasts that group with the >multitudes from every tribe and tongue, who will also worship God around
    His throne. NOWHERE does the Bible teach the LIE that only 144,000
    believers will be with God.


    YOU MAY NOT BE AWARE IF IT, BUT YOU ARE FULFILLING SCRIPTURE AS WE
    SPEAK, MT 10:22:

    -- New King James
    Matthew 10:22 "And you will be hated by all for My name's sake. But
    he who endures to the end will be saved.


    Paul and James did not contradict each other. Justification can mean to >make, declare, or show to be righteous. Paul is talking about
    justification in the sense of how God makes and declares a believer to
    be righteous. That is only by grace, only by faith in Christ, and only
    apart from our works.

    James talks about justification in the sense of showing yourself to be >righteous to men. He specifically says show me your faith without works,
    and I'll show you my faith by my works. Thus, he's talking about >justification in the sense of showing men that you are righteous, not in
    the sense of how a man becomes right with God.

    Romans 8 shows that those whom God justifies, He also glorifies. >Glorification doesn't happen until the believer reaches glory. God
    speaks of it as an act already accomplished in the past. This means that >everyone who ever actually trusts in Christ for salvation, will also be >glorified. He's predestined to that outcome. Thus, endurance is the
    evidence of saving faith, not a condition by which men earn or
    contribute to a right standing and relationship with God. Jude confirms
    this (Jude 24-25).

    Christ's death on a cross paid the debt we owe God for our sins (Colossians 2:14). God raised Him from the dead to prove this (Romans 1:4). This means God can now remain right, while forgiving our sins (Romans 3:26) and delivering us from His coming wrath (1 Thessalonians 1:10). It's a free gift for those who believe in Christ (Romans 6:23).If you believe, call on the Lord to save you (Romans 10:9-13):

    OK.


    When you fail to comprehend how that one God Being can also be three distinct persons,

    Yet in the Bible there is no Scripture defining the Trinity. None,
    zero, null, no.

    Mt 28: 19 is quoted a lot to support the Trinity: So here it is:

    - King James
    Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them
    in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

    So let's see. It doesn't say God is also 3 persons. And it doesn't say
    that those 3 things are part God. It doesn't say they are all equal,
    it doesn't call them a religious Trinity.

    ALL IT DOES IS NAME 3 THINGS. I can do that also:

    Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. Now I named them, are they then a spiritual
    Trinity?

    The Trinity of today stems from a 4th century Trinity doctrine. THAT
    IS HUNDREDS OF YEARS AFTER THE BIBLE WAS WRITTEN.

    you reject Him and worship an idol of your own invention.

    We are even called by God's century old name, Jehovah. So how can you
    say we REJECT his name. On the contrary, we follow Jesus' teachings at
    Mt 6:9:

    -- King James
    Matthew 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art
    in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. We make it "hallowed" whenever we
    can. And we follow Jesus' example:

    -- New King James
    John 17:26 "And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare
    it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in
    them.''

    JW's have no idols, since the Bible rejects that. 'Let those who have
    ears listen'.

    OK.

    When you fail to comprehend how that one God Being can also be three distinct persons,

    Yet in the Bible there is no Scripture defining the Trinity. None,
    zero, null, no.


    The Bible doesn't have to use the word "Trinity" to teach that one God
    Being manifests in three distinct persons.

    rCo The Bible teaches there is only one God Being (Deuteronomy 6:4,
    Isaiah 45:5, 1 Timothy 2:5).

    rCo The Bible teaches three distinct persons are God (Matthew
    3:16-17, Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:14).

    rCo The Bible teaches that God exceeds human research and
    comprehension (Job 11:7-8, Isaiah 55:8-9, Romans 11:33).


    Mt 28: 19 is quoted a lot to support the Trinity: So here it is:

    - King James
    Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them
    in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

    So let's see. It doesn't say God is also 3 persons. And it doesn't say
    that those 3 things are part God. It doesn't say they are all equal,
    it doesn't call them a religious Trinity.

    Jesus is God: christrose.news/Jesus-God.

    The true, saving gospel strictly mandates that Christ died for our sins
    and rose from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Galatians 1:8-9). All
    other gospels are completely false and carry people into conscious,
    eternal torment in the lake of fire (2 Thessalonians 1:8-9; John 3:36; Revelation 14:10-11; Revelation 19:20; Revelation 20:10-15). You will certainly die in your sins if you deny Jesus is God (John 8:58).

    Christ paid our entire sin debt to God on the cross (Colossians 2:14),
    and God gave absolute proof of this by raising Him from the dead (Romans
    1:4). God now pardons our sins without compromising His own
    righteousness (Romans 3:26), saving us from His coming judgment (1 Thessalonians 1:10). This is a completely free gift reserved for those
    who trust in Christ (Romans 6:23). Believe in your heart and call out to
    the Lord to be saved (Romans 10:9-13):

    You're not even addressing the content of the post:

    The Bible doesn't have to use the word "Trinity" to teach that one God
    Being manifests in three distinct persons.

    rCo The Bible teaches there is only one God Being (Deuteronomy 6:4,
    Isaiah 45:5, 1 Timothy 2:5).

    rCo The Bible teaches three distinct persons are God (Matthew
    3:16-17, Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:14).

    rCo The Bible teaches that God exceeds human research and
    comprehension (Job 11:7-8, Isaiah 55:8-9, Romans 11:33).

    Since that doesn't make sense to you, you fabricate a god which does.

    To begin, God's name in the Old Testament was YHWH, not "Jehovah".
    Second, the inspired NT authors used kurios to translate YHWH, and
    showed Christ as kurios (YHWH):

    How many times does the NWT translate YHWH as YHWH, or even Yahweh?
    Zero. You know that. Don't pretend like you make these hypocritical
    claims out of ignorant sincerity.

    Meanwhile, the disciples, in their inspired New Testament writings, used Lb|A-Cb|a (kurios) to translate YHWH, AND applied it to Jesus Christ:

    1. Joel 2:32 raA Romans 10:13
    rCo Joel 2:32 (LXX): rCLEveryone who calls on the name of the LORD
    (*Kurios*) will be saved.rCY

    rCo Romans 10:13: rCLEveryone who calls on the name of the LORD
    (*Kurios*) will be saved.rCY

    Paul applies this to Jesus in Romans 10:9, identifying Him as the
    *Kurios* on whom we call for salvation.

    2. Isaiah 45:23 raA Philippians 2:10rCo11

    rCo Isaiah 45:23 (LXX): rCLTo Me every knee shall bow, every tongue
    shall confess to God.rCY

    rCo Philippians 2:10rCo11: rCLAt the name of Jesus every knee should
    bow... and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is LORD
    (*Kurios*).rCY

    Paul applies this passage about YHWH to Jesus, calling Him *Kurios*.

    3. Deuteronomy 6:4 raA 1 Corinthians 8:6

    rCo Deuteronomy 6:4 (LXX): rCLThe LORD (*Kurios*) our God, the LORD
    (*Kurios*) is one.rCY

    rCo 1 Corinthians 8:6: rCLYet for us there is one God, the Father...
    and one LORD (*Kurios*), Jesus Christ.rCY

    Paul affirms monotheism and includes Jesus as *Kurios* within the divine identity.

    4. Psalm 34:8 raA 1 Peter 2:3

    rCo Psalm 34:8 (LXX): rCLTaste and see that the LORD (*Kurios*) is
    good.rCY

    rCo 1 Peter 2:3: rCLIf indeed you have tasted that the LORD
    (*Kurios*) is good.rCY

    Peter quotes the psalm about YHWH and applies it to Jesus as *Kurios*.

    5. Isaiah 8:13rCo14 raA 1 Peter 3:15; Romans 9:33

    rCo Isaiah 8:13: rCLBut the LORD (*Kurios*) of hosts, Him you shall
    honor as holy...rCY

    rCo 1 Peter 3:15: rCLHonor Christ the LORD (*Kurios*) as holy in your
    hearts.rCY

    rCo Isaiah 8:14: rCLAnd He will become a sanctuary and a stone of
    stumbling...rCY

    Romans 9:33 and 1 Peter 2:8 apply this stumbling stone to Christ,
    identifying Him as the *Kurios*.

    6. Psalm 102:25rCo27 raA Hebrews 1:10rCo12

    rCo Psalm 102:25 (LXX): rCLYou, LORD (*Kurios*), laid the foundation
    of the earth in the beginning.rCY

    rCo Hebrews 1:10: rCLYou, LORD (*Kurios*), laid the foundation of the
    earth in the beginning.rCY

    The writer explicitly says this was spoken rCLof the Son,rCY identifying
    Jesus as *Kurios*.

    7. Deuteronomy 10:17 raA Revelation 19:16

    rCo Deuteronomy 10:17 (LXX): rCLFor the LORD (*Kurios*) your God is
    God of gods and LORD (*Kurios*) of lords.rCY

    rCo Revelation 19:16: rCLKing of kings and LORD (*Kurios*) of lords.rCY

    The title for YHWH is applied to Jesus, who bears the name *Kurios* of all.

    The New Testament authors consistently affirm *Kurios* as the proper translation of YHWH and deliberately apply passages about the *Kurios*
    of the Old Testament to Jesus Christ.
