Jehovah Witnesses - The origin about trinity and hell...

This video plainly explains how Greek Mythology and Philosophy infiltrated the pure worship of Christianity early on in its beginnings...




The religion that produced this video is called Jehovah's Witnesses. The Trinity isn't the only thing that their founder Charles Taze Russelll had disputed:


In 1870, Charles Taze Russell and others formed a group in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to study the Bible.[23] During the course of his ministry, Russell disputed many beliefs of mainstream Christianity including immortality of the soul, hellfire, predestination, the fleshly return of Jesus Christ, the Trinity, and the burning up of the world


He made a prophecy:


In 1876, Russell met Nelson H. Barbour; later that year they jointly produced the book Three Worlds, which combined restitutionist views with end time prophecy.

The book taught that God's dealings with humanity were divided dispensationally, each ending with a "harvest," that Christ had returned as an invisible spirit being in 1874 inaugurating the "harvest of the Gospel age," and that 1914 would mark the end of a 2520-year period called "the Gentile Times,"[25] at which time world society would be replaced by the full establishment of God's kingdom on earth.

In 1920, another prophecy was given by its new leader, Rutherford:

Significant changes in doctrine and administration were regularly introduced during Rutherford's twenty-five years as president, including the 1920 announcement that the Hebrew patriarchs (such as Abraham and Isaac) would be resurrected in 1925, marking the beginning of Christ's thousand-year earthly Kingdom.

Acts 20
28 Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God,
which he bought with his own blood.
29 I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock.
30 Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them.



2 Peter 2
False Teachers and Their Destruction

2 But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2 Many will follow their depraved conduct and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3 In their greed these teachers will exploit you with fabricated stories. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.



2 Tim 4
2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction.
3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.
5 But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.

How'd you like finding out the founding fathers attended church services in numerous government buildings for decades after the Constitution was adopted? Some separation of church and state!

NOPE.. That biblical verse is irrelevant to the fact I posted about religious rights in the U.S. Are you saying all religions don't have equal rights per U.S. law ?...YES or NO plz.

Did you kick Jesus Christ to the curb? Why don't you answer the question from earlier?

I'll be happy to answer your question after you answer mine about equal religious rights in the U.S., . Reason? you have shown time and time again you opt to deflect as opposed to honestly debating a topic.

Show me God, Jesus and the Ten Commandments in the US Constitution.
 
If trying to serve God as closely in the same way as Jesus taught the 1st century Christians to do, then so be it...

Well the Bible was put together 300 years after Christ died by the Nicene council. Out of thousands of books only the four Gospels were chosen. So if you follow the Bible and nothing else you are trying to serve as closely to the same way the Nicene council decided, 3 centuries after the death of Christ.

They left out one of the best bits, the Infancy Gospels. The young young Jesus fighting dragons and so forth.
 
He can't. It isn't there.

Of course he can't. I run this little test on his credibility every now and again just to let him know how nutty his world view is.
 
If they had sung this old carol in church I wouldn't have minded going.

The Bitter Withy. (A withy is a willow tree)
As it fell out on a bright holiday
Small hail from the sky did fall
Our Saviour asked his mother dear
If he might go and play at ball
"At ball? At ball? My own dear son?
It's time that you were gone
And don't let me hear any mischief
At night when you come home."

So it's up the hill, and down the hill
Our sweet young Saviour run
Until he met three rich young lords
"Good morning" to each one

"Good morn", "good morn", "good morn"
Said they, "Good morning" then said He
"And which one of you three rich young lords
Will play at the ball with me?"

"Ah, we're all lords' and ladies' sons
Born in a bower and hall
And you are nought but a poor maid's child
Born in an ox's stall"

"If I am nought but a poor maid's child
Born in a ox's stall
I'll make you believe at your latter end
I'm an angel above you all"
So he made a bridge of beams of the sun
And over the river ran he
And after him ran these rich young lords
And drowned they all three

Then it's up the hill, and it's down the hill
Three rich young mothers run
Crying "Mary Mild, fetch home your child
For ours he's drowned each one."

So Mary Mild fetched home her child
And laid him across her knee
And with a handful of withy twigs
She gave him lashes three

"Ah bitter withy. Ah bitter withy
That causes me to smart,"
And the withy shall be very first tree
To perish at the heart

There were gospels that said that?

And, lo, suddenly there came forth from the cave many dragons; and

when the children saw them, they cried out in great terror. Then Jesus

went down from the bosom of His mother, and stood on His feet before

the dragons; and they adored Jesus, and thereafter retired.


But the Lamb of God’s powers do not remain dormant for long. In one book, Jesus is described as playing by a stream with some other children. While the other children are probably just splashing around, Jesus is digging pools of water next to the bank, in which he forms statues of birds out of the muddy clay. Being a miracle-worker, he then turns the bird-statues into real, living birds, which then fly away. Observing this, a child comes by and proceeds to splash the water in the pools with a stick. Jesus does not take kindly to his playmate’s antics, and uses his spell-casting powers to wreak vengeance on him:

“O evil, ungodly, and foolish one, what hurt did the pools and the

waters do thee? Behold, now also thou shalt be withered like a tree,

and shalt not bear leaves, neither root, nor fruit.” And straightway that

lad withered up wholly.


And no matter the creature, whether great or small, Jesus is not necessarily compelled by any
nagging conscience to acknowledge an act of contrition; indeed, like his Old Testament father, Yahweh, he much prefers a merciless display of wrath to keep his loyal subjects in line. Apparently, the children of Nazareth feared him so much that some of them became his sycophants, guarding him and forcing others to pay their respects to him. In one case, a group of men carrying a small child through town refuse to follow the terrified children to visit the Christ-child. When Jesus asks the men why they refuse, they say that they urgently seek a cure for the child, who has been bitten by a poisonous snake. Even after the snake shows penitence for its crime, Jesus deals with it as a true son of Yahweh would:

Then the Lord Jesus calling the serpent, it presently came forth and submitted to him; to whom he said, “Go and suck out all the poison which thou hast infused into that boy”; so the serpent crept to the boy, and took away all its poison again. Then the Lord Jesus cursed the serpent so that it immediately burst asunder, and died.

They are just as believable as the other gospels.

So your point is the Bible is flawed?

Okay.

It's a closing note from the Article itself, followed by the signatures. God or Jesus is not in any a part of the laws and rights covered by the constitution.

So, sorry dude, but you fail miserably again.

Little do you know he's in charge, and he'll be there at the final judgment to have a word with the naysayers.

There's a higher court and a higher judge than you're apparently aware of, and I doubt you like it one bit.
