Hi!
I don't have his book, so I don't know how he dealt with this topic. If he chooses to respond great. If he doesn't, so be it. Who knows? Maybe, a change (of topic) is as good as a rest (for Greg). [But I don't mean to detract from his debate with AF.]
I'm NOT proposing "another Trinity debate" (although this topic does have implications on both sides of that fence).
Shorty took a shot at a lot of people. So I posted this good-natured challenge to him -- NO response. Then I posted to other "active" JWs -- again NO response. Then I posted this friendly but poignant question to Greg. To date, only Friend entered into debate (a while back) on this topic. JWs seem to fear examining the basis for the WT teaching on The Spirit The Holy (One).
As far as how my post relates to reform - it's quite simple.
I believe that TRUTH & REFORM go hand in hand. How can any individual or group REFORM, if not challenged to think about their position, the basis for their view, & the plain meaning of words & evidence? The TRUTH of the matter is that there would be a massive amount of REFORM if an individual or an organization re-examined the basis for SPEAKING AGAINST THE SPIRIT THE HOLY.
So what about you? How would you answer the question I posted to Greg?
All the best.
