What you are basically saying is that if you do not believe in the Trinity teaching, you cannot be a Christian. I say otherwise. what does it mean to be a christian? Isnt it to follow the teachings of Christ. Therefore did Jesus teach this theory, did he himself claim to be God? Is this teaching...
what if humans do not have an immortal soul? What if death is not a divine promotion, not the immediate doorway to eternal spirit life or to reincarnation for all who die? Then the immortal-soul belief would lead one in the wrong direction. The book Official Catholic Teachings says that the...
WHILE on earth, Jesus was a human, although a perfect one because it was God who transferred the life-force of Jesus to the womb of Mary. (Matthew 1:18-25) But that is not how he began. He himself declared that he had descended from heaven. (John 3:13) So it was only natural that he would...
When Jesus was on earth, persons would prostrate themselves before him to petition and to do obeisance to him, and he did not reprove them. (Lu 5:12; Joh 9:38) This was because he was the appointed King, the King-Designate, as he himself said: Gods royal majesty has approached (ED); The...
I noticed that in your reply you never refute any of the scriptures!! Nor can you explain them. The atahanasian creed says" the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God, and yet there are not three Gods but one God. In this Trinity . . . the Persons are co-eternal and...
What Does the Bible Say About God and Jesus?
IF PEOPLE were to read the Bible from cover to cover without any preconceived idea of a Trinity, would they arrive at such a concept on their own? Not at all.
What comes through very clearly to an impartial reader is that God alone is the Almighty...
Any Bible reference offered as proof must be understood in the context of the consistent teaching of the entire Bible. Very often the true meaning of such a text is clarified by the context of surrounding verses.

THE New Catholic Encyclopedia offers three such proof texts but...
Jesus example shows us what Jehovah is like. Jesus so perfectly reflected his Father that he could say: He that has seen me has seen the Father also. (John 14:9) Thus, when we read in the Gospels about Jesusthe feelings he displayed and the way he dealt with otherswe are in a sense seeing a...
Ayani,
TIME and again, Jesus made statements such as: The Son cannot do anything at his own pleasure, he can only do what he sees his Father doing. (John 5:19, The Holy Bible, by Monsignor R. A. Knox) I have come down from heaven to do, not my will, but the will of him that sent...
Twillend you asked the question regarding JOHN 10:30 Where Jesus said I and the father are one. I answered that question
I also answered the question regarding the I AM.
If you have any more questions then I will answer them. I am on a different time zone so I might not answer straight away...
At John 17:21, 22, he prayed to God that his disciples may all be one, just as you, Father, are in union with me and I am in union with you, that they also may be in union with us, . . . that they may be one just as we are one. Was Jesus praying that all his disciples would become a single...

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life.American standard version
What does the Bible show to be Gods purpose regarding the earth?

Ok I am sorry I see your scripture in Matthew in the previous post.
Matthew 28:19 reads: Go, therefore, make disciples of all nations; baptise them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Do those verses say that God, Christ, and the holy spirit constitute a...
Which scripture in Matthew?
JOHN 1:1 consider what John further writes in chapter 1, verse 18: No man has seen [Almighty] God at any time. However, humans have seen Jesus, the Son, for John says: The Word [Jesus] was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory. (John 1:14, KJ)...
Isa. 9:6, 7, RS: To us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government [also KJ, AT, Dy; dominion, JB, NE; princely rule, NW] will be upon his shoulder, and his name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his...
The Hebrew term ‛a·nah′, rendered rape in this account, also has the meanings afflict, humiliate, and oppress.Jg chaps 19, 20.the Hebrew word ka·vash′ also means subdue but can also refer to rape
Is Gods Kingdom a real government?
Or is it, instead, a condition in the hearts of men?
Luke 17:21, KJ: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you [also TEV, Dy; but among you, KJ margin, NE, JB; in the midst of you, RS; in your midst,...
I was wondering which God are you refering to? The God of the Bible, Koran,Bhagvad Gita etc If you are not a religious person how do you now the truth about God? Just curious?
Many christians today hold a similar view .They say the soul is immortal, that it continues to live after the body dies, and that death is a great deliverance and liberation, which enables the soul to return to God. This idea existed in Jesus day, but he did not teach itthe idol-worshiping...
