Stephen didn't see the HS because the HS was with Stephen at that time.
Acts 7:55
New International Version (NIV)
55 But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.

Cuca Racha D2D!!!!
i have had to make some very difficult decisions in recent days.
in one way i feel good about takeing care of myself and my mother who is on her dead bed in the room next to me.
mom has live with me since 2005 and started to make her journey to the other side on christmas day.
how long do you think the watchtower can speak about 1914 and have followers think it relevant?
i think for people born in the 1900's, it feels like an acceptable year.
but what about those born since 2000, will 1914 seem like a year of relevance?
They already laid the foundation to last at least another century.

12 Do you share Paul's determination? Though living a life of faithfulness is not always easy, we know that it brings Jehovah's blessing and approval, and that is what makes one truly successful. (Prov. 10:22) We benefit now, and we certainly can expect blessings in the future. (Read Mark 10:29, 30.) Hence, we have every reason to rest our hope, "not on uncertain riches, but on God, who furnishes us all things richly for our enjoyment." We ‘safely treasure up for ourselves a fine foundation for the future, in order that we may get a firm hold on the real life.' (1 Tim. 6:17-19) Yes, we can be absolutely sure that a hundred years from now, even a thousand years or more from now, we will be able to look back and say, "I definitely chose the course of real success!"
titus 2:13- "while we wait for the blessed hope-the appearing of the glory of our great god and savior, jesus christ, " .
the part in question lies at the end of the passage "...of our great god and savior, jesus christ,".
*granville sharp's rule-when you have two nouns, which are not proper names (such as cephas, or paul, or timothy), which are describing a person, and the two nouns are connected by the word "and," and the first noun has the article ("the") while the second does not, *both nouns are referring to the same person.. this, as far as i know, has been an ongoing argument among trinitarians and non trinitarians for a very long time.
Let me see whether I understand this or not. The combination of The Father, Son and HS is what we know as God Almighty, but each one is a different person? Did i get it?
45 and counting!!
i read the book of collosians and now im really not sure whether the trinity concept is completely false.
maybe i need to read non-jw bible to make my decision.
even the nwt seemed to support the jesus was a manifestation of god to help mankind.
At this point in my life I can say I have more questions than answers. I can not say I believe in the trinity, but I wonder, what if the trinity exists a different way to the definition of the WT?
The very nature can produce three identical persons, but at the same time are different. If that is real in the physical plane and natural, why could not it be in the spiritual plane?
i like to share my picture with you and that you share yours with me.
but only if that does not represent any problem to you.
here is mine.
Skbj, thanks. You look fantastic, wow, you have such expressive eyes.
mamochan13, Thank you for post on this thread. It didn't come up to my mind to put it private because I think some of us no longer feel the bonds of WT and we find it easier than others to publish our photos. It's wonderful to be free of that heavy yoke that has been imposed upon us by the organization. It is a process that everyone has to pass to get free, but sooner or later, I hope, we all succeed. Blessings to all.
