Neither of these views weigh all of scripture on the matter of salvation. Both result in turning the gospel into law, and making salvation a work of self righteousness.

I think it is fascinating that out of millions of sperm and egg cells, each combination producing a different person, and all other offspring determined by each precise combination, you would not exist had one different combination in …

All things interact. If you remove one molecule the outcome of the universe will not be the same. Had one person in your family tree been different, you would not exist. Perhaps someone like a brother or sister would have existed in yo…

Thanks CM, I think this is the best interpretation so far.

Thanks CM, really interesting. I believe God created everything, including the future and all the evils we see. And they unfold through cause and effect relationships throughout time. This includes even our thoughts and actions. But it…

Like I said, you are closer to Islam and Judaism than you are to Christianity which is the only religion to worship God in trinity.

I think you, in denying the trinity are more in line with Judaism and Islam. Christianity is the only religion in the world that worships God in trinity. The rest believe as you and they do.

Nothing I said has been refuted since around 300 CE. Far more learned than any of us have tried and failed. We need to see why you and others with similar views were considered heretics by all of Christendom until present. It is for go…

If you think of God spiritually instead of physically, you will see:
the doctrine of the Trinity can be summarized in seven statements. (1) There is only one God. (2) The Father is God. (3) The Son is God. (4) The Holy Spirit i…

God cannot become a Father, or a Son, or a Holy Spirit since he is eternal. He eternally is The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, all distinct persons in the one Spirit called God.

You need to understand God does not change. Always Father, Always Son begotten of the Father (before the incarnation) and always Holy Spirit.

The creed only summarizes what the bible says after thorough investigation. It's like the verdict in a trial. And Christianity is the only religion in the world that worships God in trinity. So those who reject the trinity reject Chris…

The creeds are the result of theological debates. They wrote down the conclusions which became pillar doctrines of Christendom. Since Christianity is the only religion in the world that is trinitarian in the worship of God, you and oth…

orthodox Trinitarianism rejects all forms of tri-theism, which teach that the three members of the Godhead are, to quote a leading Mormon apologist, “three distinct Beings, three separate Gods.

But the creeds teach scripture after proving all the incorrect interpretations wrong.

You do not understand scripture if you do not align with the creeds.

If you read the creeds, you will understand how scripture presents God. Otherwise you have only cults and false teachers at your disposal.

You think of God materialistically. You need to think spiritually before you can have three persons in the same spiritual essence.

If you knew what the creeds (teachers in the Church) said, this would not be a mystery to you. If you reject them, you reject what scripture says after much careful study and debate.
the doctrine of the Trinity can be summarize…

The creeds state what scripture says after tedious and prolonged debate. They should not be taken for granted as those far more learned than any of us undertook the endeavor of preserving the truth for us.

Jesus is YAHWEH as far as his Spirit with a human soul/mind and body. Accurately stated by the creeds as God with a fully human nature and a fully divine nature.

If you consider the doctrine of the deity of Christ, it will make sense to you. In essence, we are body, soul and spirit. Jesus is body, soul, And YAHWEH. No human spirit but the triune God instead.

You are overlooking Jesus' baptism where three distinct persons called God are present at once.

Even though technology has made tribulation more widespread, I have seen nothing like God's judgement on the Jews in 70 AD during the siege of Jerusalem. Josephus is quite graphic.

Thanks Wolfgang. I use a late date for Revelation which I believe allows for my interpretation.

Here's something else I'd like to put up for discussion pertaining to the Antichrist. First;
“Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy **comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the s…
