Just heard this guy Cook debate a Jehovah's Witness on the Trinity and the J-Dub slammed him! Pastor Cook had sent the JW an email before the debate explaining that he didn't know the Biblical languages (Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek) and would appreciate if they were left out of the debate. That raised some flags right there... If he doesn't have knowledge of the source languages then why debate someone who does; especially when appeals to the source languages are almost necessary when defining and explaining the doctrine.
But here's what got me... He started accusing the New World Translation of mistranslating certain passages--which of course it has!--but this line of argument opened the door for the JW to start using Greek grammar and syntax on him. Cook was lost as would be expected from someone who doesn't know Greek.
In any event, Cook didn't even present a good affirmative argument for the Trinity, forget about his rebuttals. I think that Gene Cook, Jr. is in serious need of some schooling or intensive reading on this subject--just reading Robert Morey’s and James White’s books on the Trinity are not going to equip one for formal debate. He should cease from such encounters until he is better equipped to deal with his opponents.
There's nothing worse then seeing someone lose a debate when they are holding the position of truth. For anyone interested in learning more about the Trinity, check out my new web site at this address: http://www.freewebs.com/trinitytruth/index.htm
