Are you familiar with the Council of Nicaea?
Apparently she hasn't. She things her JW prophet wrote the bible.

Exodus 3:14, God said … I Am That I Am
John 8"58, Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM.
Jehovah said he is I AM and Jesus said he is the same I AM. Through the transitive property of deductive reasoning, Jehovah and Jesus are the same being.
Lord; and beside me there is no saviour, Isa. 43:11, The Lord who spoke to Moses was Jehovah, the savior (Jesus Christ). Again, simple reasoning concludes Jehovah Witnesses are messed up with their lack of understanding of simple scriptures. It's really a shame because most of the JW's I know are wonderful people.
I am he: Lit., “I am.” Greek, e·goʹ ei·mi. Some consider this expression to be an allusion to the Septuagint reading of Ex 3:14 and use it to identify Jesus with God. However, Ex 3:14 uses different wording (e·goʹ ei·mi ho on, “I am The Being; I am The Existing One”) from that used at Joh 4:26. Moreover, the expression e·goʹ ei·mi is used in the Septuagint to render words spoken by Abraham, Eliezer, Jacob, David, and others. (Ge 15:2; 23:4; 24:34; 30:2; 1Ch 21:17) In the Christian Greek Scriptures, the phrase e·goʹ ei·mi is not limited to the rendering of words expressed by Jesus. The same Greek words are used at Joh 9:9 in recording a reply by a man whom Jesus had cured. They simply convey the message: “It is I.” These words are also used by the angel Gabriel as well as by Peter, Paul, and others. (Lu 1:19; Ac 10:21; 22:3) Obviously, these statements are not references to Ex 3:14. A comparison of the parallel accounts in the synoptic Gospels shows that the phrase e·goʹ ei·mi found at Mr 13:6 and Lu 21:8 (“I am he”) is a shorter way of expressing the more complete thought found at Mt 24:5, which is rendered “I am the Christ.”
Only JW's would mix up two different languages centuries a part to try and fool their flocks. So, let me say it again with Isaiah 43:11, Beside me there is no saviour. And, you just wrote "I am the Christ. Christ means messiah or saviour. Was Isaiah also wrong? My regards to watchtower.
So you believe the angel Gabriel as well as by Peter, Paul, and others are also a part of that trinity...got it...
Now you are changing the subject since you finally figured out what I wrote was true. As far as the Godhead, it's made up of Elohim (The Father), Jehovah (Jesus Christ, the Son, Saviour) and the Holy Ghost. Why are you talking about Peter Paul and Mary? This is what happens when you start losing the debate as you have. Pretty soon you will be singing Puff the Magic Dragon :duel
Yeah, it was a democratic vote to make Jehovah God and Jesus Christ equal...that is blasphemy...the trinity is a corruption borrowed from the heathen religions and was adopted as Christian doctrine..the origin of the trinity is entirely pagan....John 3:16; 14:28...
It also assembled the Bible that you read today.
BS...all credit and thanksgiving for the Bible’s survival, in view of such violent opposition that the Bible has endured, is due Jehovah, the Preserver of his Word...no one else...
You have just proven you did not read what I posted...figures...
Oh, I read. But you simply continue to deny the fact that both Old and New Testaments say Jehovah and Jesus have the same name, "I AM." Your attempt and your Church that said the Lord was coming back in what, 1902 or something, is simply garbage spin. So, keep singing Puff the Magic Dragon. And, you see that you were also wrong about our beliefs about the trinity or Godhead. We do believe and baptize in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. It's you that doesn't.
In the 1960's, Montreal's great goalie Jacques Plante treated father and son broadcasters Foster and Bill Hewitt to dinner. The paper described them as 'the father, the son, and the goalie host.
No one believes your Mormon gibberish, including me...you've showed me nothing...and it is verses btw...
There are many instances where God told Israel to attack with weapons and destroy their enemies and the enemies of God. Yes, we should be seeking to be peacemakers. But, that's another issue. The right to defend one's self and others is also doctrinal and sound in the scriptures.
How did you confuse that with Christianity.
This GOP representative from Texas by the name of Matt Schafer declared that people had a "god-given" right to have arms according to the Second Amendment. He went on to say that "arms" meant not only guns but bazookas, artillery pieces and even nuclear weapons. but aside from his claims, when he mentioned god-given right was he being blasphemous or heretical in his words?
Just remember that at the time the Bible was being written there were no guns and so the word does not appear in the Bible.
Yes, those were holy wars Jehovah God Himself directed...there has not been a holy war directed by Him since...Jesus taught "pray for your enemy"...Paul added to that "as far as it is possible with you, be peaceable toward all men"...that includes fighting in a war where you could possibly kill your own spiritual brother in another land...
