OK then, I looked at your link and seeing we are talking contradictions and correct interpretations, I would be interested in seeing how You explain the following.
Your link regarding Gen 2:2 says - God began to rest.
I took your past advice - wotsup you need to look at a cross section of various Bibles, not just the KJV. Well,,,,, I did and that was around ten others and not ONE of these has the word "began" or any other word or words that the term began could be applied to.
So does that Not bother you?
Then we have the many verses where Jesus says, the Father "is" in him or dwells in him. And JW's say, nope this in me is in fact, "in union with me". If one chooses to add this Union word in, then by gosh you have to change, alter a BIG number of verses throughout the Bible, again does this not bother you?
Jesus hammers home this point that the Father dwells in him. He then goes on to make this point or clarifies it; If you don't believe me then, look at the very works I do, He (God) doeth the works that I do. Now in Acts 2:22, it confirms that the works Jesus did were in fact, done by God through Jesus. Meaning as the Bible repeatedly tells us, God, his Spirit the Holy Spirit was dwelling in Jesus. If God wasn't in him, Jesus couldn't do the works.
The Holy Spirit although not all of God, is part of God and his Spirit. To try and suggest it's just a power source sitting on the likes of a shelf until required, is madness haha.
Just like you, you have your word, mind, spirit, etc, it's not all of you but part of. Your hand is yours, it's not the you but part of you and heaven help us if we try and separate all the parts of Mr G.
So give back God what is his Mr G, Spirit and word.
Don't worry about what the trinity think of the Holy Spirit which has become JW's key explanation of the Holy Spirit and find out what the Bible actually says on the matter.
So the key answers I seek, how in God's name do you sit comfortable with these two way out of place changes?
Yes one can be different, but at what cost?
