Deer Editor:
I have read your paper
with interest for the past
c ouple of weeks, as I saw
in this column, an ex-
tremely popular belief,
considered by many to be
the fundamental tenet of
Christianity, on trial.
In other words, the
Trinity and its adherents
verses Monotheism and
its adherents. Since this
is such a fundamental
issue to Christianity and
so many people take
Christianity seriously, I
feel this question, is of
profound significance
indeed. As well, I submit
that the readers of this
column are the "judges'
and the `jury' of this
great issue, because we
have observed the
'lawyers' giving their
defences and their
charges.
As in any courtroom,
we attempt to prove truth
on the basis of logic and
reason, because truth is
always in harmony with
itself. The observed facts,
as well, constitute a basis
of proof. But most im-
portantly, the Bible is the
primary implement for
establishing the truth of
this matter.
It is for these reasons,
therefore, that I would
like to object to the
unethical techniques and
questionable tactics
employed by several of
these 'lawyers'. I object
• to the unfounded
statements and unproven
arguments, that barely
qualify to be called
opinions.
For instance, Mr.
D'Haene accused Mr.
Barney of not studying
the scriptures deeply.
How on earth does he
know how long or how
deeply or how often Mr.
Barney studies the
scriptures? Has he in-
terrogated Mr. Barney
and forced confession
out of him?
As well, he blindly
accuses Jehovah's
Witnesses of "preferring
to debate biblical issues
with people who are
biblically illiterate"
"with a zeal worthy of a
better cause" and of
"disseminating deadly
hatred". Has he con-
ducted a survey or has he
questioned them why
they preach? Who ap-
pointed him as a reader
of minds, a discerner of
motives, and a judge of
the heart? What self-
respecting jury would
listen to this 'evidence'?
I. protest the hypocrisy
and double standards.
D'Haene convicts
Jehovah's Witnesses of
publishing a "constant
barrage of Watchtower
literature"; however
almost all religions (and
probably his own) -publish
literature and remain
guiltless. Why the double
standard? What makes
one right and the other
wrong? •
As with others who
have written, he appears
to be impressed by higher
education, degrees and
titles after one's name, as
if this is a criterion, for
identifying the true faith.
Would a census • of who
had the most scholars
settle this matter? Would
it have in Jesus' day?
We note that the
apostles and Jesus as
well were common people
without such an
_education. Acts 4:13 says,
"they were men unlet-
tered and ordinary". Also
the scriptures tell us,
"not many wise in a
fleshly way were called,"
I Cor 1:26. Obviously this
isn't a precedent for
proving the matter. For
example, •,a judge can
preside over a legal issue
involving the medical
practice without being a
doctor. If he is Objective
and listens to both sides,
he can render a just
decision.
Consider the following
material also put forth:
The name Immanuel
which means, "with us is
God" supposedly proves
the Trinity. Does this
specifically , affirm the
deity of Christ like Mr.
D'Haene contends? If so,
then we have even more
reason to admit Michael
as the fourth member of
the Trinity as his name
means "who is like God".
