Trinity

Quick,

Do you believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God?

[Iryssa]

Ever wonder why trying to explain God is so hard?

Actually, no. It's because He is much more than we mere mortals can fully describe. In our human experience, we do not physically see things that are infinite, which existed before time, which were not created but simply were. We say "in the beginning, God..." but we find it hard to fathom that God WAS before the beginning, that he Himself was not created, because our physical exprience--and the experience we glean from others--generally has to do with that which was created.

[Iryssa]

What you're doing with that question (and it's actually not a question...more of a statement...as seen by the lack of question mark at the end of it) is assuming that three persons necessarily equals three gods...and you don't give a reason why that should be assumed.

Three persons who are each FULLY AND EQUALLY GOD. I'm understanding what trinitarians say. Each person is god - three persons - three gods.

If that's what you think Trinitarians are saying, then I'm sorry, you actually AREN'T understanding what Trinitarians say. God--that is ONE GOD--manifest Himself (still singular) in Three...Tri-Unity. God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit....the same thing, different manifestations.

So then, at the baptism scene, who was the one God and father of all, in all and through all?

You're still assuming that only one manifestation of God could be God...but as I've been saying, that's only true if God is limited by space and time, which He isn't.

Quick,

Do you believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God?

Don't get mad at my answer.

Which bible?

I've been asked this a lot. Look, I believe the bible is a record and guide for us to know God. None are perfect. Once we know God, he helps us through the imperfections of the numerous writings declared as "his inspired word". The only written word of God is the Ten Commandments that he wrote in stone. The only inspired writings are those of prophecy and of the creation. The rest are writings of those like you and me who put into words, to the best of their ability, what they understood.

No, the bible, whichever one you choose, is not inerrant or totally inspired.

Then why the heck are you debating this issue at all? By your own standards, there's no reason to believe that Jesus is Lord, because it's the New Testament that reveals Him as such.

I just do not believe that God became a man. And I note that you cannot determine which of your three gods is the one God and father of all.

You need Jesus! You need to put your trust in Him and what God has said about Him.

There are not three gods, but One God only, who is manifested in the man, Jesus the Christ, and His Spirit, and the wonderful Father.

Come to Jesus today and accept the Father's plan for your salvation!

Woops. Too many people that are gods in your statement. I do put my trust in Jesus and I do believe what God said about HIM. Until you can differentiate betwixt the three gods you profess, I can

[Fiosh]

Why would I get mad over what you believe?

If you don't believe the Bible is the inspired word of God, how do you know there is one God?

Your attempt to disprove what we Christians believe is getting you nowhere. You are not interested in answers. You are interested only in causing friction. You already have your mind made uo about what you believe..some homemade concoction that defies God. Please, why are you here?

But I do believe he is Lord, I do not believe that he is God. There is a difference.

Why do you believe Jesus is Lord?

But I do believe he is Lord, I do not believe that he is God. There is a difference.

You cannot believe He is Lord without first knowing Him as God. It is impossible. You are only spouting empty words.
