The discussion is the trinity, first of all we know that the word trinity is not in the Bible, well lets look at some other tools we use that are not in the Bible
.to start the word Bible, not there- all the verse numbers, chapter divisions, even punctuation and all the helps in the center column not there
And if you have a red letter version, who do you think put the red color there? The list can go on and on
. When you read in the New Testament where is says, search the scriptures Acts 17:11, what do you think was meant when it was written? The writer was referring to the Old Testament writings, and keep in mind, not everyone had a copy of the Old Testament back then
You see the New Testament had not been assembled yet
So consider all the many blessings we posses having a completely assembled Old and New Testament at our finger tips
So what Im saying is just because a phrase is used to communicate a truth, such as Trinity
Doesnt mean that the teaching of a triune God is a lie
I really believe the early Church had to rely heavily on the Holy Ghost, and the Holy Ghost inspired preaching of Gods word
Much more then today
My conclusion on the teaching of the trinity, and for any other Bible teaching that has become argumentative, we need to get down on our knees before the almighty, and ask Him to help us sort it all out, to make sense of it all, and to learn how to rely on the Holy Ghost as the first church had to
John 14:16&17, John 14:26, John 15:26, John 1613-15 1st Timothy 3:16
. You know if you eliminate the teachings on the trinity, or the deity of JESUS CHRIST for example, what do you have left in the Bible that makes any sense??? Not much!! What you have left is just a club, that thinks they have it all together, and all the rest of us are heading down the wrong road
.An organization that believes it posses the exclusive rights to Truth is most definitely on the wrong path
. God help them
II peter 1:16-21
