it is your interpretation which is that 3 beings are one being, which is a contradiction and therefore not true.johnd said:The Bible teaches that three co-existent, co-eternal individuals are the one God
you merely provided your beliefs, Your beliefs doesn’t prove that anything I said was illogical or fractured.johnd said:Shall I provide it yet again? You said I never have. But it's easy for me to because all I have to do is copy and paste what I've already written and you deny was ever written. I'll do it yet again so you can deny it again... how's that?
I call trinity nonsense, because saying 3 is one is nonsense. I never said God is nonsense. God never said he is a trinity, you do.johnd said:Quoting the scriptures to show the nature of God as God revealed it means you should not call God non-sense.
as I stated, I would have to have believed in the trinity to be apostate from it, I am an unbeliever in trinity, not apostate from it.johnd said:You say Apostolic, I say Apostate. You belong to the same group.
johnd said:No you don't.
I believe every word of john 1.1 and john1.14, I do not believe your interpretation of it. That does not mean I do not believe the word of God.johnd said:Try this on for size:
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
More than one individual is God and one of them became the man Jesus. Let's just see how much of every word you believe...
I believe in the Jesus who died on thecross for me at calvary, if that is your Jesus then we believe in the same Jesus.johnd said:That's not possible. What are you so uncertain of your Jesus that you are too scared to say you don't believe in my Jesus?
johd said:Matthew 24:24 false christs
nothing in those scriptures about Jesus being part of some fictitous trinity. That is your interpretation, not what it says.johd said:2 Corinthians 11:3-4 another Jesus
Galatians 1:8-9 a different gospel
I know Jesus personally and He knows me, so that verse only reaffirms the surety of my salvation, again nothing in that verse about any trinity, that is your interpretation, not what it says.johnd said:Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
I am not worried I know the one in whom I believe, I know God the Father and his son Jesus personally and scripture assures me that this is eternal life. Your assertion that I gotta believe trinity to b e saved has no scriptural support, just your interpretations of scripture, not scripture. I rely on scripture for salvation not peoples interpretations of scripture.johnd said:You'd better be more certain you have the correct / genuine Jesus than you seem to be, Partner! You don't want to find out in the judgment you followed the wrong Jesus.
John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
It is no where in the bible, you interpret scripture to mean Jesus is God and trinity. I read scripture that says that Only God the Father is god, and I believe it. John 17.3 and 1 cor. 8.6. I do not have to interpret scripture for my doctrine that God the father is the one and only true God. It is exactly what scripture says. Your doctrine that god is a trinity is an interpretation of scripture that contradicts 1 cor. 8.6 and john 17,3 and therefore is wrong.johnd said:It's all through the Bible. It's divine revelation
1 Corinthians 8:6 yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we unto him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we through him.
