At last we have progressed to the point where the trinity question is settled once and for all! This poll will finally fix the trinity issue and put to bed any notions of truth in it. Please read the options below which accompany your voting choices. They explain fully what you are voting for. You vote for what is described, not your own ideas or wishful thinking.
1) Fixit is right, the trinity is false. If you believe the trinity concept to be false then this is an obvious option to vote for.
2) Fixit is wrong, the trinity is worse than false! More than just being a false, pagan god, the trinity is a deceptive product of satan who has pulled the trinity concept like a veil over the eyes of the majority of Christendom, deceiving the majority of Christendom into following a false god.
3) I believe in the trinity, because.... I also believe in a hollow Earth, the Nazis landed on the Moon during World War II and that Jesus currently resides in Venus. I also believe that I am always right.
4) Roselyn T. This and the following option are for those who are fed up with the trinity nonsense and who want to vote for something real, far more attractive and desireable.
5) Cherie Kropp. This is the same as Option 4. Verna was deliberately left out of this poll because she romped home to victory during the previous poll. This Cherie Kropp is the real deal. One person, not a trinity which included two imaginary Cheries (sorry boys!).
This broad range of options should be sufficient to determine the true falsehood of the trinity. Read the options carefully before voting. No complaints will be entertained afterwards.

Why am I getting a case of déjà vu? I've seen this movie before, trashing the Trinity is not a genuine poll, questionnaire, or consensus. There's no real choice, just a predetermined conclusion. Why the re-run?

Why am I getting a case of déjà vu? I've seen this movie before, trashing the Trinity is not a genuine poll, questionnaire, or consensus. There's no real choice, just a predetermined conclusion. Why the re-run? Ask Nathan? He bellowed, he screamed, despite the previous threads and polls having been loaded in his favour (no complaints from yourself then?) that he wanted a poll designed about Fixit and the trinity. In fairness to Nathan, despite previous matters being highly favourable to him, I have taken up this challenge. But first, I locked the poll after 8 days and left a post that the Admin should flush the previous poll to the Jump on Board, which I seldom visit. So sar that poll/thread is still extant on this board. And what has become of it? Rather than accept the resounding victory of Verna and the commendable achievements of some of the others, as well as the overlying truth of the results, we see the thread is now inhabited by a Den of Vipers! Ugly, nasty, evil.....! The desire of these polls is to confirm the truth of matters through proper and sound establishment. Keep that in mind. The trinity concept is false and evil, deceiving most of Christendom. It is a tool of satan. It cannot be promoted as being true on any genuine poll. Nathan wanted this poll. Now he's got it. I deliberately left Verna out of the poll because she would be a distraction from the real question, deviating many votes away from the key issue. I have also, quite deliberately left out any mention of Nathan. Nathan desired this poll to be about whether or not Fixit was right or wrong about the trinity concept. This has been adequately provided for in all manner of truth and reality. There are two options focusing on Fixit's beliefs. One giving an option for him being right, whilst the other provides the alternative of him being wrong. Please consider all the options carefully and if you feel inclined then please vote accordingly. This is a very serious and important matter. Please don't treat it lightly. I had to provide an option for those who do indeed believe in the trinity (they do exist!), but I had to make it a realistic option, including ingredients commensurate with the very belief itself. That is only fair, right and proper. Would you not agree? Then there are people who like to exercise their right to vote. Some may not be inclined to vote either way in the trinity assertion, but may take pleasure in casting their vote for more realistic and pleasant distractions in the form of Cherie or Roselyn T. I have to be fair to everyone. I reiterate, the poll is about establishing and confirming the truth about the trinity, not giving the lie of it grounds to gain further currency. I have a duty and responsibility in designing and presenting these polls, which are proving highly popular by the way, although since I locked the previous one and asked for it to be evacuated from this board, it has been taken over by and large by pro-trinitarian factions spewing out their pagan oratory onto innocent posters, who should show more wisdom and leave that thread alone. |

Deception at its worst. If I presented a 'real' video about who the devil actually is, would you fall down and worship him? No of course you would not. That is why he does not use these tactics (very often). He uses deception to gain this worship and you are doing his bidding by presenting his deception as genuine. Just regard it as a good example of arch deception. |

I only wish I was as upstanding and righteous as yourself. That way I could hope to gain even a crumb of the widespread respect and support you clearly enjoy from the membership of this board. Testimonies extolling this are seen daily on this board and I am left in awe, wondering just how good it would be if I could attain to that. I should follow your example, but I am too weak to even glory in your shadow. Please keep up the good work. If I can't do it...you can! |

Ram/Moutain has lost his credibility after Dorothy William Irvine letter, and he keeps repeating the same silly Anti-Trinity believer games.... He and fixit are Anti-Trinity believers.... They are mocking and making fun of the Trinity/Triune God believers... but they themselves are Triune God believers but they don't KNOW it, yet.
Hardly anyone takes him and his posts seriously anymore... He is a clown, a joker and he thinks he is an entertainer himself. As if anyone takes you seriously ever. Did you forget you said certain workers should be hung? Fruits of the spirit, Natie. Bad boy. 1) Dan from TMB wrote: A big deal and a lot of fuss has been made over that simple statement... I would suggest taking it as a harsh figure of speech that's not taken literally, but just a dysphemism instead of a euphemism. I'm sure Nathan was not suggesting that "Someone should get a rope!".... But figuratively expressing his disapproval of those who spew the anti-trinity doctrine.
When one denounces the divinity of Christ, and they don't believe that "I and my Father are one" or "He that hath seen me hath seen the Father", then from a spiritual perspective, they are essentially hanging themselves. If Christ were just a man separate from the Father, he'd have no power or authority to save anyone, nor could he be our intercessory for prayer. He was a divine sacrifice from the onset.. "His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life" (2 Peter 1:3). 2) NathanB: Amen, Dan... People take my posts out of context on here all the time and they repeat it over and over when I already explained to them many times in the past. Jesus often use figure of speech like in Matthew 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
Jesus’ Use of Figurative Language Use of Figurative Language Including Notes from The Method and Message of Jesus/ Teaching by Robert H. Stein Jesus is identified as a “teacher” forty-five times in the Gospels and with the similar Aramaic term, “Rabbi” another fourteen. He was a master teacher, who captured the attention of his audience, and spoke with an evident authority. People loved to listen to him, in part because the exciting manner of his teaching. Jesus evidently prepared his teaching, putting it into literary forms using the metaphorical, exaggerating, impressionistic language of a culture that loved to tell stories. This helped his listeners remember easily what he taught. It is evident that Jesus thought his hearers were capable of understanding figurative language and he expected them to do so, and that the Gospel writers thought and expected the same of their readers. This however is not always easy. Jesus said that he spoke in parables (and by implication, other figures of speech as well) so that the disciples could understand, but that his meanings would be masked from others. That Jesus, God’s Son, taught using such a variety of figures of speech – should indicate to us that we must be aware of their use through all the Bible. The two most common figures of speech are the simile and the metaphor. A simile is an explicit comparison between two things that are essentially unlike each other and that are introduced by a connective such as “like” or “as” or by a verb such as “seems.” (A parable is essentially a simile; that is, when a simile is expanded into a story it becomes a parable.) Examples “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves.” (Matt. 10:16), “For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” (Matt. 12:40) “As weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age.” (Matt. 13:40) “Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father.” (Matt. 13:43) “For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.” (Matt. 24:27) “…and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.”(Matt. 25:32-33) Metaphor Like a simile, a metaphor is a comparison between two essentially unlike things. In a simile the comparison is explicit (“The eye is like a lamp for the body”). In a metaphor the comparison is implicit (“The eye is the lamp of the body”). Extended metaphors are Allegories. Examples: “You are the salt of the earth…You are the light of the world…” (Matt. 5:14-16) “The eye is the lamp of the body…” (Matt. 6:22) “Do not give dogs what is sacred…” (Matt. 7:6) “Watch out for false prophets…inwardly they are ferocious wolves.” (Matt. 7:15) “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few…” (Matt. 9:37-38) “Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel.” (Matt. 10:6) “…I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.” (Matt. 10:34) “What did you go out to the desert to see? A reed swayed by the wind?” (Matt. 11:7) “You brood of vipers…” (Matt. 12:34) www.eldrbarry.net/clas/gb/b26figure.pdf |

Nathan, I mean you no disrespect, but please take your dogfights elsewhere. This is a new poll, a very serious one and I don't want it to become the battleground that the other poll has become. What is happening there is a sheer disgrace and I wish I had never started that poll/thread.
What should be attracting everyone's attention is the fantastic and exciting start that Roselyn T has made to this thread. That is where the attention should be directed, not to your longstanding bickerings with other board members. I don't want this poll/thread destroyed like the last one as certain individuals seek to cloud the progress of the poll which may not be to their liking. You asked for this poll and I have delivered it to you in good faith. I also kept your name out of it in the hope that what we are now seeing developing, would not happen.
Everyone, let's concentrate on the poll. Do not let it become obscured by the unhealthy taunts of others.

It was not a simple statement nor were you using 'the workers should be hung' as a figure of speech You were getting very wound up about the Trinity and someone said that the Catholics hung people who did not believe in the Trinity. Your anger was building and you said in a very threatening manner, that the workers should be hung too, so threatening in fact that someone wondered about calling the police. Then Annan wrote her poem in which she wrote for your fingers to stop typing, which spun you out further but it did wake you up and stop you typing that stuff. Your focus then became on the poem and people could not understand why it was affecting you so much but SharingTheRiches pointed out that your culture was one which believed in witches and evil spirits, or words to that effect which made sense to some at least, as to why the poem upset you so much. It worked and brought you back to reality which was a good thing but it's debatable if you've been bought back to reality since. You've posted numerous posts which you have saved so where is that post Nathan? Why not post it or did you not want to keep it in your archives as it did not make you look good. Of course the admin deleted it after a while but you could have saved it like you save many others. You seem to greatly maximize others postings but try to think up excuses and minimise your own. This is a classic case where you have grasped Dan's statement saying it was a figure of speech when it was far from it. That excuse was far from correct. It was a threatening comment and not a figure of speech. Was Dan even on the board and see the posts at the time. |

You were wound up and using very threatening language, Nathan. You were not using it as a figure of speach. We were there reading your posts seeing it happen.
Dan recently suggested it being a figure of speech so you have suddenly grasped onto that as a way to minimize what you wrote. You did not think about it being a figure of speech until Dan posted that. You have never been known to take responsible for your actions on this board. We were all witnesses to it.
Was Dan on the board watching the conversation at the time?
Seems as if you don't take Jesus words literally either yet you're the first to preach hell, fire and brimstone.

It was not a simple statement nor were you using 'the workers should be hung' as a figure of speech You were getting very wound up about the Trinity and someone said that the Catholics hung people who did not believe in the Trinity. Your anger was building and you said in a very threatening manner, that the workers should be hung too, so threatening in fact that someone wondered about calling the police. Then Annan wrote her poem in which she wrote for your fingers to stop typing, which spun you out further but it did wake you up and stop you typing that stuff. Your focus then became on the poem and people could not understand why it was affecting you so much but SharingTheRiches pointed out that your culture was one which believed in witches and evil spirits, or words to that effect which made sense to some at least, as to why the poem upset you so much. It worked and brought you back to reality which was a good thing but it's debatable if you've been bought back to reality since. You've posted numerous posts which you have saved so where is that post Nathan? Why not post it or did you not want to keep it in your archives as it did not make you look good. Of course the admin deleted it after a while but you could have saved it like you save many others. You seem to greatly maximize others postings but try to think up excuses and minimise your own. This is a classic case where you have grasped Dan's statement saying it was a figure of speech when it was far from it. That excuse was far from correct. It was a threatening comment and not a figure of speech. Was Dan even on the board and see the posts at the time. ** Yes, I use that as a figure of speech! I LOVE, appreciate and respect the workers very much! I was one of them myself. All that, yet you have your own belief system that dosent align with theirs, you don't attend their meetings based on a flimsy excuse, and you think various ones should be hung. Do you give the local workers fuel at your own expense as required? Id be quite interested in the answer to that one, I've maintained their local workers car at my own expense for 30 years, having never professed, and without even attending a meeting in that time. |

** Yes, I use that as a figure of speech! I LOVE, appreciate and respect the workers very much! I was one of them myself. Why would I want them hang literally? I am NOT going to do it myself, I would get in trouble with God and the law. Dan is a good observer! and he could see it and understand clearly what people so rile up about for nothing. Jesus using hanging the millstone around people necks! He wasn't talking literally! But a harsh figure of speech to get to get their attention! He was talking literally but about something much worse, if someone harmed one of God's little ones. *** It was a figure of speech to get their attention at first but he will deal with them far worse after the day of Judgement. |

You were wound up and using very threatenibg language, Nathan. You were not using it as a figure of speach. We were there reading your posts seeing it happen. Dan recently suggested it being a figure of speech so you have suddenly grasped onto that as a way to minimize what you wtote. You did not think about it being a figure of speech until Dan posted that. You have never been known to take responsible for your actions on this board. We were all witnesses to it. Was Dan on the board watching the conversation at the time? Seems as if you don't take Jesus words literally either yet you're the first to preach hell, fire and brimstone. ** A true believer must know and understand when Jesus speaks figuratively or NOT... Same thing today! Dan is correct! And I agree with his observation and conclusion. He was more eloquent in explaining better than I was. |

He was more eloquent in explaining better than I was Jesus did not say he was going to do the act but that it was better that they were. A big difference in wording between what you wrote and the words Jesus used Matthew 18 v 6. But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. |
