um, an article by Douglas Groothius published by CRI, more accurately.

Don't let version3 get to you. He's a high school kid and he's dumb as a brick. He's here to waste his and everybody else's time.

Quincy, yes I'm familiar with these approaches by the WT. Here's a quick response:
John 1:1 - The word is "Theos" which is properly translated "God". And no Trinitarian theology does not teach that Jesus is the person of the Father. JW's conflate the two and have always misunderstood this.
Colossians 2:9 - Again "Theos". Paul had another word in the greek at his disposal, if he was choosing to communicate that Christ merely had some sort of divine quality. He chose not to use it.
John 20:28 - Thomas was not rebuked, he was blessed. And Christ received his worship.

I don't understand why everyone's posting links to other people's books on the subject..
... just read the Bible - it's pretty much a no brainer.

(Dec 4 05, 20:15)man, Jesus pissed off a whole lot of people, in fact he said he came to divide. What's written about him can only be described as fairly polarising. His claims were and still are inflamatory, and mutually exclusive. If the bible is wrong, then it shouldn't be read at all and it's been the cause of many useless lives lost.

---God is a selfish God...
4 “You must not make for yourself a carved image or a form like anything that is in the heavens above or that is on the earth underneath or that is in the waters under the earth. 5 You must not bow down to them nor be induced to serve them, because I Jehovah your God am a God exacting exclusive devotion, bringing punishment for the error of fathers upon sons, upon the third generation and upon the fourth generation, in the case of those who hate me; 6 but exercising loving-kindness toward the thousandth generation in the case of those who love me and keep my commandments.
- Exodus 20:5What that's all saying is that God (the supreme one in The Bible who's name is Jehovah) is rather selfish... he is VERY exacting in how you serve him. That reference above was referring to idol worship... but got to the point that God exacts exclusive devotion...
... so wadafa... you're right in your statement about Jesus coming to divide... it was his duty to teach and lay the foundation for our learning... then die as a ransom .. to make things right.
The Bible makes it clear that serving God isn't easy - but if you're going to serve him & reap the rewards... you gotta follow the rules layed out - and that of course is for no else to decide upon but God.
