I think that it's funny that they have made it to say that there are multiple gods.
However, this obviously threatens to end their monotheism. I believe that they hold "god" to mean a mighty being or person, but not like "God" God (JWs correct me if I am mistaken).
No, not in traditional Christianity. JWs don't agree with the notion that the Spirit is a "person" (basically, that it has any form or personality). To them, it is the power of God (JWs, once again please correct me if I'm wrong on this). The idea of the Trinity is that Father, Son and Spirit are all parts of the same God.
It's like the "Godhead" is a circle and the three are contained within it...or like the clover with the three leaves. Each leaf is distinct, but they are all the clover.
They're distinct persons, but the same Being.
It's a bit unclear to me how the idea of the Trinity was conceived but it fascinates me. lol
Baladas,
Please! A few points to meditate on. Every scripture in the Bible is related to every other scripture, called Intertextualism. If there are scriptures in the Bible that contradict your theory, your theory is not accurate. There is truth in the Bible, and it is Univocal, it tells ONE story.
There is NO argument about Jesus being a god, but Jesus would and has been the first to tell you that he is not the Father, The Almighty God, whose Personal, Proper Name is Jehovah.
We are actually told in the Bible at Isa 9:6,7, that Jesus is a mighty God, El Gabohn, but The Almighty God is El Shaddai. If you have a concordance or a good Bible dictionary, it is easy to understand.
In the Original Autographs of the Bible books, God's name in Hebrew, YHWH, was written over 7,000 times, but only four times in the KJV, Ex 6:3, Ps 83:18, Isa 12:2-4, 26:4. By removing God's name from His own book, the translators have made a serious mistake. By removing God's name and replacing The NAME with titles, LORD, GOD, in all capital letters, they have made the Bible inaccurate. Here's why; at Isa 42:8, the Bible originally said; I am Jehovah, that is my name. Well, we know that the terms lord and God, are not names but titles.
Consider what Jesus himself said about the Father, at John 17:3, where Jesus says that the Only True God sent him, Jesus, and that it means our everlasting life to learn about Him.
Consider John 20:17, where Jesus says that The Father is his Father and his God, just as He is for all True Chtistians.
At John 14:28, Jesus said that The Father is greater than I am.
At Matt 20:23, Jesus tells the disciples that he doesn't control all things, that some things belong only to the Father.
At Matt 24:36, Jesus says that only the Father knows some things, even Jesus does not know.
Consider Matt 26: 39, Jesus parts earnestly to his Father. also at Heb 5:7-9.
I could go on and on, but if a person believes what the Bible says, this should suffice.
At John 6:57, Jesus said, I live because of the Father. Notice Pr 23:22.
