The Trinity: God the Father and God The Son
by BlackSwan of Memphis ini had been discussing the trinity with someone the other day (hence the topic on i am) and this person alluded to the idea that jesus was saying he himself was jehovah.. well, it occurred to me last night:.
in the doctrine of the trinity, isn't jehovah considered god the father and jesus is god the son?
or am i not understanding the doctrine properly?.

If I'm gonna read a book about the bible.....
by BlackSwan of Memphis ini finished rereading bart ehrman's misquoting jesus and found that it is a pretty good book.. i just checked out another by him, lost christianities, and am just beginning to read that.. what other books might you suggest to someone interested in topics such as: the history of the bible, the history of religion and christianity and even further reading on textual criticism?.
thanks.

Question re "I AM" in the gospels
by BlackSwan of Memphis inhey there:.
the other day i was discussing the topic of the verse where jesus apparently uses the term i am in reference to himself.. this claim obviously referring to his being god.. i could swear that i have read somewhere that this term ego emi (sp) was used elsewhere in the nt by someone other than jesus.. i am wondering if anyone here would have any information on this topic.. thx in advance..

What are some of the 'good' things you learned during and after being a Jehovah's Witness?
by Dune inmy problems with the wtbs have always been their doctrine and their absolute control of the rank and file, not the principles that they and most mainstream religions teach.
i grew up in a predominantly black urban metropolitan area that had a high crime rate and drug usage.
when i go back to my old neighborhood, i always hear about how some of my peers are drug addicts, incarcerated or dead.
