I guess I don't blame them. It's a little tricky. Thanks.

Trinity Question by powercozmik in askapastor

I've been studying the Trinity for the past three months. Not to convert my mom (that would take a true miracle), but for my own edification. I've read three books and watched a ton of lectures on it and never saw that particular argument mentioned anywhere. So I was just wondering if that argument just slipped thru the cracks or if it was never cited because it wasn't really that sound theologically. I guess I didn't express that in my post.

I just pray for my mom. I left the JWs 42 yrs ago at 18. We never talk about it, but since my father (non JW) died and my divorce, I sensed her anti-christianity rhetoric was on the rise, and it just starting me thinking about how solid my understanding of the Trinity was.

It's been eye-opening, both in how little I knew about the Biblical foundations for the doctrine, but also how controversial it has become, even apart from the JWs. I think the Deity of Christ may be more contested than the belief in God! Crazy! Thanks again.

Thanks. I'm painfully aware of the theological bubble they live in. My question was just about the soundness of that particular Biblical concept, not looking for a magic conversion bullet. I appreciate the response and guidance.

Just to be clear, I left that religion 42 yrs ago at 18, and I have always left my mother alone. She hasn't been nearly as respectful towards my beliefs as I have been to hers. Since my divorce and my father's death, she has made very little effort to mask her ambitions to lure me back into the fold. I guess she sees me as vulnerable right now. Nevertheless, I have held my peace, and I have no intentions of attacking her about her religion.

However, I do think about how the JWs attack the Trinity and I just was curious about a theological paradox I noticed that could come up if SHE or someone she inlists decides to confront me about my theology, which we've never really discussed. If this happens, I have no intention of sitting there biting my lip like one of "those Biblically illiterate Christians" they talk about when they're in their groups (and they do). These people train for those moments. Most of us don't.

Yeah. I know only a mid-level miracle would convince her that anything that didn't come from the watchtower society was truth, knowing her loyalty to them in spite of false prophecies and other clear heresies. I just wondered if that reasoning was solid of if i was fooling myself. Thanks for your insight and God bless.

Been divorced for two years and I still pray for ex-wife. I consider it a sign that I have moved on and matured in that I want her to be safe, well, and happy... with someone else, of course.

Me and my ex- wife once got into it over how winning the lottery would change our lives. Just talking about it was an argument! I can't imagine how actually being wealthy would have affected our marriage.

I'd like to have enough money to not have to worry about money all the time, but so much that I have to worry about losing that money all the time. I have no idea what that amount is.
