Agreed. Historians and biblical researchers generally agree that the Bible is not an accurate, historical account, and that most of it is apocryphal.
So why cite it for anything factual or historical?
Except the actual linguists and biblical scholars...
It's been a while since I read anything so silly. Just because someone writes "I am Fred Bloggs" does not mean the writer must actually be Fred Bloggs.
For example, there is a host of novels written in the first person, not to mention numerous examples of non-fiction written under pseudonyms...
Oh my. Such poor poor reasoning. Once again, just because a book says that it was written by someone does not necessarily mean that it was written by someone. Let's take Paul. He was a historical figure, he was well educated. He had the ability to write, so when quite a bit of work...
simple people who dont now how to do basic research come up with statements like yours above...

ERROR again. the one's which was scattered. James1:1 "James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting." AND, 1 Peter 1:1 "Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia...
Many parts of the bible indicate that only God is God, and there is no other. They also say that Jesus is the son of God and is called Lord (not God). Jesus also talks to God (clearly not talking to himself). Why would God allow anyone to nail him to a cross and suffer?
The Trinity doctrine, or any such concept, didn't exist when the NT was written.
Instead Paul, and each of the Jesuses of Mark, Matthew, Luke and John, expressly deny that they're God and never once claim to be God.
The Trinity doctrine is invented and adopted in the 4th century CE in response...
I'm not quite sure what your effort is here. It is almost like you try to set up your statements that just fits your position and then tear down your own statements.
Have you considered just taking the scriptures for what it says? He came as a man and not as God?
Hello! Thank you for your question. Actually you can see the trinity mentioned together in the New Testament:
"The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen." - 2 Corinthians 13:14
"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations...
Why the early church did that is probably so we would know whom was being spoken of and to distinguish roles.
It is true that the Father is the one true God but it is also true that the Son is in the Father and the Father is in the Son and the Holy Spirit is in the Father and Son.
In my...
The role of the Holy Spirit is to bring a believer into the fold, into Christ. Believers form a fellowship in the Holy Spirit and they look to the head of the body, Jesus Christ. He, in turn, does the will of the Father, making the three one in Spirit.
Ephesians 4:6 refers to this relationship...
Hello Soapy.
There is also the teaching from Jesus Christ the Son of God that a man can be forgiven anything but blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. It was not taught by the Apostles about a triune God it was a teaching adopted by the later Church. The OT was clear that there is only one God. In...
You can read all about the Trinity for yourself, in countless places. I do not believe you have any interest in learning anything.
So why should anyone bother to respond?
The Trinity is an attempt to explain what the Bible wants to tell us. Whoever reads the Bible through the Spirit of God will come to the conclusion that the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are God. And through this knowledge, the concept of Trinity came into being. I am sure that the...

James wrote the letter to “the twelve tribes that are scattered about,” literally, “the (ones) in the dispersion.” (James1:1) He here addresses his spiritual “brothers,” those who hold to “the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ,” primarily those Christians living beyond Palestine. (James 1:2...
You spoke generally, and not in "some detail," but to great lengths. Again, in other words, what did Papias of Hierapolis, Hegesippus, Clement of Alexandria, Eusebius of Caesarea, and Jerome of Stridon each specifically do that deviated from the teachings of Jesus and His apostles, and thus...
