382: The Error of the Catholic Nicene Trinity
Click to View The Catholic Trinity goes beyond the simple Bible truths of the deity of Christ and the personality of the Holy Spirit and speculates the "mechanical make-up" of God on almost an "atomic level". When Jehovah's Witnesses attempt to prove that the trinity is not a Bible doctrine, they always focus on the Catholic trinity rather than the Biblical trinity. JW's are right! Catholic trinity is not found in the Bible, but the deity of Christ and personality of the Holy Spirit are clearly taught! Biblical Trinity Taught in the Bible Vs. Catholic Trinity Not taught in the Bible In the Bible, we see an affirmation of the deity of Christ and the personality of the Holy Spirit combined with a mono-theistic view of God, but without any explanation as to how the whole thing fits together and works.

390: What The Death Of Christ Accomplished!
What The Death Of Christ Accomplished! The reasons behind why Jesus died are a combination of God's plan and man's foolish sin in killing an innocent man. The foremost reason is the love of God, Rom 8:5; 1 Jn 3:16. Man had a desperate need for redemption, Rom 3:10; Mt 20:28; Heb 2:9; 1 Ti 1:15. Ultimately, a need for the remission of sins, Rom 2:5; Heb 9:22; Lk 24:46; Acts 17:3; 1 Cor 15:3. Jesus was that "acceptable sacrifice" to God, Mt 20:28; Eph 5:2; 1 Th 5:10.

395: Lesson 12: Confessing Christ
We must not be ashamed to confess to other people that we believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Jesus says in Mark 8:38, "For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when he comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels." If He is ashamed of us, that means that we are going to be lost. There are several examples of people confessing their faith in Christ in the Bible. One is found in Matthew 16:16-17, "Simon Peter answered and said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God. Jesus answered and said to him, Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven." Christ was well pleased with Peter's confession and He will be with ours also. In Acts 8:36-37 a man asked the question, "See here is water. What hinders me from being baptized?"
