A Reverent Examination, by Christians, for Christians
"There is but One God, the Father." -- 1 Corinthians 8:6

All who consider the issue agree that the doctrine of the Trinity is incomprehensible. Its most ardent proponents suppose this to be a strength -- that as we cannot comprehend the majesty and glory of the infinite Creator, so we cannot fathom his nature and being. Not so. The Creator has explicitly revealed himself through His Word as a mighty, unitary being, the great first cause of all things, having no equal, no predecessor and no successor. He is Yahweh by name, and God by title.

For 4000 years those who worshipped Him and trusted Him had no hint, no surmise, no suggestion that he was other than the single, unitary God He declared Himself to be. "Hear, O Israel, the LORD your God is One" (Deut. 6:4). "Know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the LORD" (Isaiah 43:10, 11).

This thread is not opened to abuse ourselves,what we need to do is give our opinion for or against,we should respect eachothers opinion,our focus is that our christian folks should proof that trinity is from god and not man made.

The concept of Trinity is only in Christianity. Besides not all all Christians approve of its indoctrination. Cos how can one buy the idea of an all sovereign God, condescending so low to the status of the imperfect Man he created, all in the effort to be molested, abused and killed by mere mortals, so that he can save them.

I believe an All Sovereign God can do better than that and find better ways of salvation for his Creation, without stooping so darn low.

let me start by asking you what Christianity means?is that word in the bible?
the same goes for trinity,i challenge all Christians to give me a verse where the word trinity appear in the bible

While the Roman Catholic concept of Trinity is false and unbiblical, a diligent study of the Scriptures will reveal that GOD the Father is not the only Person in the GOD head. GOD the Son and GOD the Holy Spirit are included too. These three separate Persons are one in purpose and will, and not numerically. Each of them is divine, eternal, and has life underived/unborrowed. None is inferior to the other. However, the Son and the Holy Spirit voluntarily chose submissive roles to the Father.

See Melchizedek and Heb. 1:8.

DoctorAlien:

Via the bolded, can you give some Scriptural evidence to support your claim?

Let me talk about the 'holy spirit' being a god. Remember when Jesus was baptised? Immediately he came up from the river Jorrdan, the heavens were opened, and the 'holy spirit' in form of a dove appeared. When Jesus promised his disciples to send the 'holy spirit' as a helper to them, he did so, and what was the form in which the 'holy spirit' came? As tongues of fire. Never for once did the Bible refer to the 'holy spirit' as being a living thing, talk more of being a 'God'!

RudeGang:
Father and Son. Logically, a Father is greater that the Son.

The trinity to me is a false and baseless belief which should be discarded. When Jesus Christ said "I and the Father are one," did he imply that they were equal entities? No. The word 'and' seperates both, with the Father being the greatest.

Reading the Bible with an open mind would certainly help one understand its deep teachings.

Focus on your religion of paedophiles and suicide bombers causing menace all over the world. Focus on the honor killings going on in Pakistan and in the entire Muslim world. Focus on women being treated like animals in the Islamic world.

The trinity is not for reprobate minds to comprehend.

Why do you have to comment if you can't answer the op? God can never be the author of that confusion (trinity), something u can't even explain without u sounding foolish.. oya xplain it now or exit dis thread

Still better than the paedophile religion of moon worship.

The Bible says that the Holy Spirit:

1. will teach us all things when He comes

2. will comfort us

3. will bring to our remembrance all the things Jesus said

4. searches the deep things of GOD (1 Cor. 2:10)

5. can be lied to (Acts 5:3-4)

6. has a mind (Rom. 8:27)

7. decides (Acts 15:28)

8. intercedes (Rom. 8:26)

9. hears (Jn. 16-13-15)

Only a living being can do all these things.

JESUS CHRIST, LAMB NOT RAM OF GOD, IS CROSS CRISIS!!!

Smh, all these jehovah witnesses and arguement...In col 2 vs 9 apostle paul adressed God as a deity that lives in a body form which is the eternal Godhead, God the father, God the son and God the holy spirit...the 3 lives in one(God)....study and believe the bible and stop reading the bible to look for what you can use to argue....the problem with you is that, you use only one version of the bible and you are hell bent and stuck with it and that's why i don't welcome you cos you lack spiritual revelation.

THE WORD OF GOD IS MYSTERY AND CAN ONLY BE REVEALED TO HIM WHO SEEK NOT THE MYSTERY BUT SEEK THE ONE BEHIND THE MYSTERY. Have you taken your time to ask Jesus Christ about his personality ? IF YOU DO YOU WILL MANIFEST HIMSELF TO YOU HIS POWER OF ONE BEING HAVING THREE POWER BUT UNIFIED IN ONE BODY ... JESUS IN MANY PLACES PROOF HIS SUPREME ALMIGHTINESS IN BIBLE. GOD being rejected as KING over Israel because they want to see their own king with their eyes like other KINGDOM.1SAMUEL8vs5,6,7.vs5,And behold thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways; now make us a KING to judge us like other nations.vs6,But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a KING to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD. vs7; And the Lord said unto Samuel,hearken unto the voice of the people in all thy ways they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee,but they have rejected me, THAT I SHOULD NOT REIGN OVER THEM.Then the rejected King (GOD) manifested in flesh. CHECK THE DEFINITION OF JESUS NAMES IN ISAIAH9vs6, for unto us a child is born, unto to us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called wonderful, Counselor,The Mighty God, The everlasting Father, The prince of peace. PSALM2vs4-6; He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh:the Lord shall have them in derision. vs5;Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. vs6,Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.vs12, Kiss the son, lest he angry, and you perish from the way,when his wrath is Kindled but a little. Blessed are all that put their trust in him(JESUS). IN JOHN11 vs 25; Jesus saith unto her,“ I AM THE RESURRECTION AND AND THE LIFE",JOHN14vs6-7;Jesus saith unto him; I am the way, the truth, and the life :no man cometh unto Father but by me. Vs7; if you had known me, you should have known my father also: and from henceforth ye known him and have seen him. EXODUS 3vs14, And God saith unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM AM: and he said, thus shall thou say unto children of Israel, I AM hath send to you.JOHN8vs56 ; your father, Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.vs58,; Jesus said unto them, Verily verily, I say unto you, BEFORE Abraham Was, I AM... This alone testified to the power of Jesus. However,knowing Jesus and his true identity is a personal decision. God bless You
