The Father is God,

The Son is God

The HS is God.

The JW's have it all wrong.  They do not believe Jesus is God.  God did not create Jesus.  He always was.  Jesus is God in the Flesh.  My new modern view to say this is "God in skin." 

I was a JW and I know alot about their belief system. 

Hey KFC,

Let me introduce you to my wife Suhay. I told her if there was a place to ask such a question this would be it and I bet you would be the first to respond. thank you.

I thought you had been a Seventh Day Adventist?

And that never struck you as odd? An entity has a son and the son of the entity is the entity itself? He is his own father? It strikes me as extremely odd.

It does depends on your religion, obviously.

I believe that there exists a god who created the world. I do not know (or care) if other gods exist. I do not believe that this god has a son or would have children ever. I do believe that Jesus probably existed and was some kind of progressive rabbi (teacher).

I believe that this god sent prophets to humanity. I do not believe that anyone knows how many he sent. I am convinced that the prophets mentioned in the Tanakh (Jewish Bible) are real prophets. But I also people that Zoroaster, the Iranian prophet, was a real prophet. Muhammed of Mecca might have received messages from an angel but that wouldn't qualify him as a prophet as such because I only accept as prophets those who actually heard the voice of the god himself.

I believe that only one prophet ever had a direct conversation with the god.

And I believe that more than one religion can be true.

And finally I believe that I am not allowed to worship a man, even if he were G-d.

Moses? 

Yep, was that too.  Baptised in that faith at 15.  Know alot about them as well.  Also have a good friend who is a SDA.  I've mentioned several times that I was involved in many cults over the years.  I find now that it was a good thing because I can help others in their search for the truth knowing alot firsthand about these belief systems. 

ha!  You were right Charles.

Hello Suhay.  Nice to meet you! 

Exactly.

Cults are dangerous. But it usually enough to show people the way out of the cult rather than to the truth.

in order to show them the truth you need to expose the lie.  In order to expose the lie, you must know the lies that are being told. 

Haven't the cults just shown them "the truth"?

no, not at all unless you want to say "their" truth.  That's why they're considered "cults" in the first place.   Usually they're pretty far off; depends tho on how much truth is sprinkled in with the lies. 

Yes, but how do you make that clear to cult followers by providing an alternative truth?

it's not easy but I don't think of it as an "alternative" truth.  I guess that's because I'm not into relativism much. 

It's basically the same for anything.  Do they really want the truth or do they want their group?  If they don't want the truth, conversation ends. 

Before Jesus healed the paralytic he asked "Do you really want to be well?"  

You don't, but the cult member hopefully is. Otherwise he won't give up his truth and replace it with another.

Cults are (not "can be") extremely dangerous and is supremely important for everyone to avoid getting sucked into them. That can be done, for example, by clinging to a normal religion. (By "normal" religion I mean a religion that is open and has no secrets and can easily be learned by anyone who wants to without becoming part of its system and/or a religion that has been around for a while and has shown not to lead to disaster.)

Who wouldn't?

you'd be surprised! 

I agree.

That Jesus Christ always was, is and always will be is paramount and fully supported in Sacred Scripture.

That God is One in Three Divine Persons is a mystery of Faith that only God could have revealed.

The Blessed Trinity is not an opinion to me because I believe by the gift of Divine Faith. There is human faith and then there is the supernatural virtue of Faith. Same thing with hope and charity.

Jesus is either God or He isn't....there is only one truth. One can't have the truth if he is not in possession of it...The Jehovah Witnesses are not in possession of the truth.

Speaking of "aternatie truth'  is sophistry.

There is human health of the body and spritiaul health of the soul.  Jesus had the paralyitic's spiritual wellness in mind.
