Default The truth

Please do not judge me...I am NOT JW!!!!!!!!!!
Actually, I came from a truly and I am not kidding "radical" Trinity church.
We had a meeting even, for those that would pray with people at the altar, and this particular meeting was held for "my" benefit...and we were literally told in that meeting that we could no longer pray to Jesus at the altar with people, but we had to direct our prayers to the Father.
As you can imagine, I saw this man's life (who said this) go down the tubes.
But maybe that was the sad highlight of this experience at this church, but there were other leaders in the church that definitely believed in three Gods in Heaven, that the Spirit in us was not the Spirit of Jesus, and anyway, just plain radical views of the Trinity.

Funny, I am ever finding out (I was saved in a Baptist church) that Baptists do not deny the deity of Jesus or make HIM less than WHO is was, is, and everything! But they actually use the Trinity to elevate JESUS, not make Him sound like He was the Second Person of the Trinity to carry out God's Work, but HE was God HIMSELF Who died for us!!!!!!!
This might all sound strange, but I know what I am talking about here and what this church believed, and it tore me up.
They would worship Jesus, sing songs about Jesus, but they would not pray to Jesus.
John 14:14 was definitely not in their Bible.
They had a huge poster with Names of Jesus on a wall, and it used most of the Names of Jesus found in Isaiah 9:6, but not Everlasting Father! And actually, I don't see that very much in any Name book of Jesus--funny how that is cleverly omitted much of the time.

I almost feel sometimes when someone talks about the Trinity, I feel like it is a trick question.
Is that not sad?

I can only conclude that if the Trinity elevates Who Jesus is, I am for it.

But if it is used to downplay Jesus, I am not for it.

It is as simple as that.

Hence, my curious question. Not one of you have answered, so I must have asked a question that brought fear.
That saddens me too.

When I compare Matthew 28:19 and Acts 2:38, I find that Name to be Jesus.

When I compare John 2:19-21 and Gal 1:1, I find that Name to be Jesus.

Don't you?

Or not?

Love in Jesus' Name.
