So, where is it indirectly taught in Scripture?<br /> <br />Yes, Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that the "deity" (small "d") of Christ is taught in Scripture. He is called "theos" or god (small "g").

I actually am today just reading this comment above. Perhaps I will address it later but thanks!<br /><br />Could I ask you a question that came up regarding the Greek grammar of Hebrews 1:8?

All theology consists of later formulations and systemizations of what we find in the Bible - that's as true of JW theology as it is of Catholic or Protestant Eutychushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04071386254682518917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8186125468393054446.post-30800633049696753922010-02-12T09:08:10.552-08:002010-02-12T09:08:10.552-08:00Hello Gary,

I know we have went over all of these passages you presented to Adam but still can't see how they demand a belief of three persons in one God. <br /><br />I have been doing extensive research on both sides and I cannot find any such definition of a Trinity God articulated in Scripture.

I understand your post well - you are giving the case for the oneness of God and the humanity of Jesus. However, whenever we do theology, we need to be careful to give all the evidence, not only the evidence that agrees with our own position. <BR/><BR/>It would be too Eutychushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04071386254682518917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8186125468393054446.post-72086477550230289372008-11-01T22:56:00.000-07:002008-11-01T22:56:00.000-07:00Dr. Manning, this is such a hilarious and wonderfu...Dr. Manning, this is such a hilarious and wonderful story.
