As I have ask all of you show me where in scipture where God is a person?Yes there is One God - but that One God is in 3 Persons - the Father, the son and Holy Spirit, but one essense. It is an important doctrine as to understanding just who Jesus is and what God has done for us.
To be "in Christ" simply mens we are saved by Christ and in communion with Him as our Savior
There are many places in our bible that says "Living God" as opposed to a concept. Is that what you are saying?As I have ask all of you show me where in scipture where God is a person?
The trinity is made up of three persons in the so called Godhead (also a bad translation)There are many places in our bible that says "Living God" as opposed to a concept. Is that what you are saying?
If God is a person; show me in scripture?

Now Jesus was a person.
Jesus was a person for 33 1/2 years; but Jesus is, was and still is God; He was manifest in the flesh
Emperor Constantine on May 20, 325 AD. called for a meeting of his 318 Bishops at Nicea. These men together formed a new Imperial State Religion, The Roman Catholic Church. At this council meeting the TRINITY-THEORY was made the Official Doctrine of the Catholic Church, later in 381 AD. at the Council of Constantinople the Catholic Church reconfirmed the State Official doctrine of the TRINITY, and made it more complete.Scripture and the Holy Spirit
There was strong recognition before canonization as to what was scripture and what awasn't in the the second century.
I don't beleive you understand history as you claim.
That is the dictionary defination, but I don't think they took God into account.The trinity is made up of three persons in the so called Godhead (also a bad translation)

My point; where is it in scripture; it is not. With out 3 persons; got a pretty weak trinity.That is the dictionary defination, but I don't think they took God into account.
Yes there is One God - but that One God is in 3 Persons - the Father, the son and Holy Spirit, but one essense. It is an important doctrine as to understanding just who Jesus is and what God has done for us.
To be "in Christ" simply mens we are saved by Christ and in communion with Him as our SaviorIt looks to me like they are hung up on the word "person". Person is just another word we use for a "being". God is Spirit and He has a mind and emotions and uses a male gender for himself.
We are made in his own image and we are persons or beings. So I don't understand what their problem is with using the word person for God. The 3 are one God no matter what they want to technically call God.
It is more then that; if you believe God’s Word is infallible then this word “person” has to be in scripture; their must be reference to this so important doctrine; a doctrine I have been called a heretic over many times. Show me the proof; don’t white wash over a lie. The word person is not in the Bible. Then you take the word Godhead which was is a bad translation, and the word trinity is also a non scriptural word; the list goes on. Look at the origin of this doctrine; who established it; etc.It looks to me like they are hung up on the word "person". Person is just another word we use for a "being". God is Spirit and He has a mind and emotions and uses a male gender for himself.

Why do we have to push our agenda or bias to prove we or our belief system is truth; God’s Word is our foundation; the Holy Spirit is that part of God that will lead and guide us in all truth.
The Word person is one of the foundations for the doctrine of the trinity; if you want to be like many in the religious brethren who blindly follow a Pope or who ever you want to blindly follow; so be it; instead of what is clearly in scripture. As I said earlier I am a Christian Universalist; at least I have given plenty of scriptural proof why I believe the way I do; even thought the vast majority will disagree with me. Where is the proof?
Yes, that's happened before on the forum too. And there's a glitch with the login too. I can login & it doesn't register that I logged in,Anyone else notice how messed up the quotes are in this thread?
I answered it about 3 pages ago...As I have ask all of you show me where in scipture where God is a person?
And so, what planet are you from? LOLI am beginning to wonder what theory of Creation is held here. We are being presented as coming from a different universe from Jesus.
He came first as the Lamb of God...His mission wasn't to condemn yet Ben! He came to fulfill the law and remit sin for those who would come to Him.
HE USHERED IN THE GRACE COVENANT.
Just becuz Jesus didn't condemn upon His arrival doesn't at all mean it won't happen at judgment.
Not even a good case you made here. It's spelled out what He will do upon His 2nd return.
You a missing the point as usual; God's judgments are just, not carnal like you so want to believe.His mission wasn't to condemn yet Ben! He came to fulfill the law and remit sin for those who would come to Him.
