Do You Believe In The Holy Trinity ? by HerexG(m): 9:27pm On Nov 24, 2012
Do you belief in The Holy Trinity ?

I pray that this write up
will help you belief

"For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." (1 John 5:7-7).

What comes into your mind when the word trinity is mentioned in Christianity ? The above scripture defines says it all about the word trinity.
But some will say because the word trinity is not mentioned anywhere in the bible, they don't belief in it. I will answer this by asking this two questions, "can you find the word "bible" or "rapture" in the word of God ? The fact that trinity is not mentioned in the bible does'nt mean that the knowledge and power behind trinity is void.
Some will also ask, how can you say God, Jesus and the Holy spirit are one, they will go ahead to magnify it saying that God is the Almighty, Jesus is mighty and the Holy spirit is the working power. The above scripture also answer's this, and i will also stress on some other vital points. When Jesus was admonishing His disciples on baptism, He said " baptsing them in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy spirit" watch this, He used a singular term to address this persons, this is to show that the Father, Son and Holy spirit are one. Assuming they were more than one the write word should have been "baptsing them in the "names" and not "name" of the Father, Son and the Holy spirit. And Christ did mentioned in the bible that " before Abraham I Am " that phrase is very wrong gramatically but He surely knows the message He is trying to convey. He is trying to show that He and His Father are one (I Am that I Am).
The Holy trinity is of great importantance and relevance in Christianity, God is God, Jesus is God and the Holy spirit is God in action .
"Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:" (Philippians 2:6-7).
Remember Christ once said "I and my Father are one"
God bless you....

Re: Do You Believe In The Holy Trinity ? by Jutresbien: 10:08pm On Nov 24, 2012
The bible clearly shows that the trinity doctrine is false. For starters, the portion you quoted is not rendered that way in the original manuscript(google is your friend). Jesus was identified as the christ, THE SON of the living God. John 3:16, Matt 16:16. He acknowledged that the father is greater than he is. John 14:28 and clearly stated that he does nothing out of his initiative, but just as the father sent him, so he acts. When he was getting baptized, his father spoke from heaven, giving his approval of His only begotten son and it was his Father who raised him up from the dead. You should read John 17:3. Jesus called his father THE ONLY TRUE GOD. When the scriptures talk about oneness between father and son, it is unity, agreement such as should exist between husband and wife and all of christ followers.

You believe in 3 gods not ONE.

There is only ONE God and he is called God the Father.

His Son is called Jesus Christ the Messiah.

His spirit is his gift of eternal life and power to all believers through Christ.

ONE God , not 3.

"To whom will you compare me or count me equal? To whom will you liken me that we may be compared? " - Isaiah 46:5


If you can twist the me pronoun to mean 3 and not 1, you need to retrace your theology back to the bible.

Well it did not mention the names of the people God was speaking with , but it obvious GOD the Father was speaking to some beings who could have been angels of a very high rank .

But :

1. He did not state the number of beings
2. No names were mentioned.

To therefore suggest that this was a trinity of 3 is actually presumptuous at best.

Can you please quote Genesis 1:27 here , for us please ?

Ponder on this
It was a prophecy
Written between 701-681 BC

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." (Isaiah 9:6-6).

Meekness and Majesty

Meekness and majesty
Manhood and Deity
In perfect harmony
The Man who is God
Lord of eternity

Dwells in humanity
Kneels in humility
And washes our feet

Refrain:
O what a mystery
Meekness and majesty
Bow down and worship
For this is your God
This is your God


Father's pure radiance
Perfect in innocence
Yet learns obedience
To death on a cross
Suffering to give us life
Conquering through sacrifice
And as they crucify
Prays: 'Father forgive.'

Wisdom unsearchable
God the invisible

Love indestructible
In frailty appears
Lord of infinity
Stooping so tenderly
Lifts our humanity
To the heights of His throne

The Father, the Son and Holy spirit are One. It just a matter of form and reveals. See,Thus, the names Jesus used for himself point to the fact that he was claiming equality with God. But did Jesus speak and act with the authority of God?Those who listened to Jesus, observed his moral perfection, and saw him perform miracles, wondered if he was the long-promised Messiah. Finally his opponents surrounded him at the Temple, asking:

“How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.”

Jesus answered,

“The proof is what I do in the name of my Father.” He compared his followers with sheep saying, “I give them eternal life, and they will never perish.” He then revealed to them that “the Father is greater than all,” and that his deeds were “at the Father’s direction.” Jesus’ humility must have been disarming. But then Jesus dropped a bombshell, telling them, (John 10:25-30)

“The Father and I are one.”

If Jesus had meant that he was merely in agreement with God, there would have been no strong reaction. But, the Jews again picked up stones to kill him. Jesus then asked them, “At my Father’s direction I have done many things to help the people. For which one of these good deeds are you killing me?”

They replied,

“Not for any good work; but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, have made yourself God” (John 10:33).

As Jesus was preparing his disciples for his upcoming death on the cross and departure, Thomas wanted to know where he was going and the way there. Jesus answered Thomas:

“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. If you had known who I am, then you would have known who my Father is. From now on you know him and have seen him.” (John 14:5-9)

They were confused. Philip then speaks up, asking Jesus to “show us the Father.” Jesus’ answers Philip with these shocking words:

“Philip, don’t you even yet know who I am, even after all the time I have been with you? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father!”

In effect Jesus was saying, “Philip if you want to see the Father, look at me!” In John 17 Jesus reveals that this oneness with his Father had existed in eternity past, “before the world began.” According to Jesus, there has never been a time when he did not share God’s very glory and essence.

That's what the bible clearly teaches, unless you add or deduct from the scriptures.....but it is a fact he wasn't killed because he said love God and love your neighbors....but rather because he claimed to be God.

yea..he was killed cos of his claims. Pple are comfortable with him as a great teacher, even a prophet is cool for the. Bt to manifest Isaiah 6:1 they can't live with.Look, the secular response to the Christ story always goes like this: He was a great prophet, obviously a very interesting guy, had a lot to say along the lines of other great prophets, be they Elijah, Muhammad, Buddha, or Confucius. But actually Christ doesn’t allow you that. He doesn’t let you off the hook. Christ says, No. I’m not saying I’m a teacher, don’t call me a teacher. I’m not saying I’m a prophet….I’m saying I’m God incarnate.” And people like frosbel and 2good will say: No, no, please, just be a prophet. A prophet we can take. Pple are alway scared to admit the truth! It seems too hot to handle...lol. The basic- Jesus is the very God the old testament reavels
