Amen! Father, Son and Holy Spirit! God the Creator.

Says Kingdom Hall?

Kingdom Hall doctrine is not "undeniable facts". No Scripture? No surprise.

That is Israelite( Jewish) facts of true God worship history. I never learned that in a kingdom hall. But they would teach it because its undeniable fact. Every trinity scholar on earth knows its fact.
The new catholic encyclopedia-1967-Vol XIV-Page 299--- The formulation, one God in three persons was not established, certainly not assimilated into christian life and its profession of faith prior until the end of the 4th century. Among the apostolic Fathers, there had been nothing even remotely approaching such a mentality or perspective.( of God being a trinity)--see my post is undeniable fact.
Most assuredly why Jesus teaches-John 17:1-6,26-- Verse 3- This means eternal life, their knowing you(Father) THE ONLY TRUE GOD and the one whom you sent forth Christ Jesus--Verse 6 = YHWH(Jehovah) Verse 26= YHWH(Jehovah)-- 2 major truths there--The Father is the only true God and he did not come to earth he sent another, named Jesus as a mortal.
I haven't met a trinitarian yet that will believe Jesus over errors. That is sad.

No Scripture? Of course not. Even the NWT says you're wrong!

The New World translation says at Genesis 2:7, "And Jehovah God went on to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living person."
So for anyone to say that God didn't form a flesh and blood human body from the dust of the ground, that would be an untruth and I'm not going to listen to such a person. Also if anyone says that God didn't blow the breath of life(spirit) into that flesh and blood human body, that also would be an untruth and I'm not going to listen to that person either. The scriptures show us that God did form, from the dust of the ground, a flesh and blood human body and the scriptures also show us, that God did blow the breath of life(spirit) into that flesh and blood human body. So it was that flesh and blood human body that God blew the breath of life(spirit) into, that became a living soul or living person. I'm not going to ignore any of this just because so many others choose to.

How so?

I'm just reading the passage. That's what it says.

I mean, just anyone can fling out that accusation.

Much love!
Only the indoctrinated can claim “I am” means eternal.

OK. If you say so.

Of course, I haven't said that. Would you like to reply to what I did say? Or just leave it at the ad hominem?

Much love!

The nwt teaches man became a living soul, not has a living soul just like Barney said.

According to Lev 26:11, Lev 26:30, Judg 10:16, Isa 42:1, Jer 32:41, and
Zech 11:8, God has a soul. Is it a living soul or a dead soul?

NWT also says Jesus is God and Hell fire is "forever and ever".


The nwt calls Jesus-a god small g--that is not calling one The God, small g means-has godlike qualities. Satan is called god small g at 2 Cor 4:4--he is not being called The God. Jesus was clear--Those who entered the broad and spacious path that leads to destruction. Gods love, mercy and justice make a literal eternal suffering an impossible truth. A false truth taught by blind guides, showing God as a sadist. It was symbolic. A single teaching about it proves that--A place where the worm( maggot) dieth not---No worm or maggot could survive an hour in a literal hot firey place.

Catholicism translating is in your bible. Their own translating exposes them as false religion, its why the protestants ran to start with. Jesus was never with that religion, his adversary is. And every branch using her twisted translating to fit false council teachings. The NWT fixed the errors, not only that. The only translators on earth who had the love and respect for God and his will to put his name back where he willed it to be, nearly 7000 places. Condemned by the blind guides using altered translations done by satans will to mislead. It was by satans will Gods name was removed to mislead, and it does.

I have studied religions, the history of true God worship history, And the teachings of Jesus since 1961--Jesus teachings in every translation on earth prove the JW,s are correct. As does true God worship history. You should study those teachings, you are being mislead.

[/QUOTE]

The words used in the scriptures for soul are, the Hebrew word nephesh, and the Greek word psykhe. When examining the way these Hebrew and Greek words are used in the scriptures, it becomes clear that they basically refer to (1) persons, (2) animals, or (3) the life that a person or an animal has. (Genesis 1:20; 2:7; Numbers 31:28; 1 Peter 3:20).

When it comes to the scriptures you mentioned above referring to God saying, "my soul", this is the scriptures using the expression "my soul" like when the scriptures uses such expressions that the True God has, eyes, hands, etc. Just because the True God uses such expresses as having eyes and hands doesn't mean God has eyes and hands like man has eyes and hands. God is a spirit, and no human has ever seen God. So just as the True God relates himself to humans when using such expressions as having eyes, and hands, When God uses such a expression as, "my soul" it just means, "myself" or "my person" because God is a person and as the scriptures show us, one of the meanings of the word soul is person.
