What do JWs know?
Post #1I just had two JWs come to my house. They said that they do not believe in the Trinity, yet they were quoting from a bible whose canon was produced by Athanasius in 367 A.D., the same guy who was the main proponent of the Trinity doctrine at Constantine's Council of Nicaea. They apparently did not know that Athanasius produced the canon they used, and that he proposed doctrine which is opposite of what they believe. Is this a one off, or is lack of historical context part of the JWs normal routine? They gave their quote of the day, Rev 21:4, without context, and didn't know that Rev 22:15 applied to the same Jerusalem, and that those "who practice lying" would not "enter". As soon as I told them, they turned and walked quickly away. The second time in around so many weeks, that JWs came, and quickly walked away when confronted with their inconsistencies.

So, if Athanasius supported the idea of Trinity, when he collected the scriptures, that he didn't make, it is weird why didn't he take anything that would support the idea.2ndpillar2 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2024 8:55 pm I just had two JWs come to my house.

John 10:36
John 20:17
John 5:19
John 12:49, 50
I Corinthians 11:3
I Corinthians 15:24, 28
These are just a handful of scriptures to show that Jesus is the SON of God. There are hundreds more. Will you look these up and then explain to me what they mean to you?

Post #96Is there any record of Jesus saying "I am Almighty God"?
If Jesus didnt say it why should any honest Christian belive he is?
