Act 3:26 "To you first, God, having raised up
His Servant Jesus, sent Him to bless
you, in turning away every one [of
you] from your iniquities."

You will do well to tell us how many persons are in the God mentioned in the above quotes. i know you dont like seeing the one in blue. just go and learn especially Godhead and then revisit all they have taught you about trinity to see if they align with bible truth.

They don't like seeing anything that debunks their myth

Whenever they see the true meaning of Godhead which their trinity assumed it consist of 3 persons, they just shut up and flee.

hisblud dumped his new thread and fled like tomorrow no dey. Pygru acted like a blind batimus. Benalvino packed and relocated to another thread. As for Bidam, i don't want to say that he has a dubious eyes which did not see it dubiously. Shdemidemi...make i just wait and see the nature of his elopement.

I am not here to out-argue(eme) you. I will just put what proves God in three persons right. Like you have rightly quoted Stephen called Christ a servant of God, fine. Lets check this part of the scripture to answer the reason why Christ could be regarded as a servant and not even a son by Stephen.

Philippians 2:5-8
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.


please check that without being biased, so we can move on to other quotes.

Of course no arguements(the best).

A look at v5 shows that this is a kind of advice to Christians to remain humble as Christ. That shows the direction the rest of the verses are going to. Now that we have the spirit of God and power in us we should not boast or misuse what we have.

Christ possess the fullness of Godhead(divine qualities) which God gave him, Col 1:19-20, 2:9. With respect to the above, Col 2:10 says "we are possessed of a fullness(completeness) by means of him(is this not enough to make us gods?).

Being in the form of God, he did not ask God to send legions of angels to destroy those beating and spitting on him, he was very humble even before the one who is in authority(pontius pilate).

His reputation is far above what the noble men possess but he took the form of servant(as a man) to serve God. If he service to God ended when he ascended to heaven, then it will be wrong for Peter to call him the holy servant of God in his prayers, it will be wrong for 1Cor 15:27-28 to say he is subject to God, it will be wrong for him to serve God in the temple as a Highpriest and it will be wrong for him to call God HIS God, Rev 3:12.

You are also right here, I believe what the issue is with people arguing against the three distinct nature of God is that we try to reason things with our own logic and understanding. An illustration is When the bible and God see a couple, man and woman as one, we find it hard to see them as one cos we still see two separate entities and two separate people in the physical. Even as God sees them as one, the husband remains the head of the woman, In a similar way we see God and Christ as two.

I have actually decided not to argue about this topic anymore until I have a clearer understanding on how to perfectly explain the relationship between God and HIs only begotten son.

I and my Father are one, jn 10:30. One what? It never said "one God". Being one means being in agreement or in union. Husband and wife must be one(in agreement) for their marriage to work. This is just about about abiding in the Father and the Father abiding in him, v38.

John 17:11
11 I will remain in the world no
longer, but they are still in the
world, and I am coming to you.
Holy Father, protect them by the
power of your name, the name
you gave me, so that they may be
one as we are one.

John 17:21
21 that all of them may be one,
Father, just as you are in me and I
am in you. May they also be in us
so that the world may believe that
you have sent me.

Non of these suggests oneness to mean "One God", if not we all will also be made one God with Jesus and the Father because we are one JUST AS they are one.

The Bible clearly states that there is only one God. Deuteronomy 6:4 states, “Hear O Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is one.” Isaiah 44:6 states, “I am the first and I am the last, and there is no God besides me.” Clearly, these verses reveal that there is only one God. Yet, there are three separate persons in the Bible who are called God and have the characteristics only God can have. The Trinity is a difficult concept to grasp, because we are finite beings trying to explain an infinite God who is beyond our understanding.

Thats ^ a lie.

This are other things that the bible calls God:

"Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread; yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down thereto." (Isaiah 44:15).

"In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them." (2 Corinthians 4:4).

Etc etc etc

add them to your multiple gods to satisfy your urges for multiple gods.

Smh for you people

This is a great point in that many are attempting to make Yahshua out to be "God" when in this verse it makes quite clear that Yahshua "made himself of no reputation."

Scripture clearly teaches that there is only one Mighty One ["God"] and that there is no other beside Him. He even says Himself "I know not any!"

Did you not see what demi and i were doing before you posted this confusion. We were learning. May be pride made you not to post it as a question.

Better scroll up and read cos i answered questions on most of your confusing belief.

Are you really a christian I don't think so.

@bookmark, I got questions for you. Holla when you r here.

Bidam: Are you really a christian I don't think so.

You must first of all know what it means to follow Christ who came to reconcile and show us the way to the Father before you know who you will think is a Christian.

Why not go up and learn from what i posted. If you see anything contradictory, point it out. What i wrote does not support trinity so you will have lots of things to point at(not with your finger o).

shdemidemi: @bookmark, I got questions for you. Holla when you r here.

The word appeared is the Greek word optomahei, from which we get optometry. And it literally is translated—visibly seen.

Please confirm that statement is right.

Your post reeks of anti-christ. Let me ask you again, are you a christian?

shdemidemi:

Please confirm that statement is right.

The term "optometry" comes from the Greek words ὄψις (opsis; "view" ) and μέτρον (metron; "something used to measure", "measure", "rule" ). The root word opto, is a shortened form derived from the Greek word, ophthalmos, meaning, "eye." Like most professions, the practice of optometry education and certification is regulated in most countries. Optometrists and optometry-related organizations interact with governmental agencies, other health care professionals, and the community to deliver eye and vision care.

Thank you, I can see we both agree on the meaning of appear.

He is right cos colossians 1:15 was talking about another person- the Son. So my son is another person who is the my image. Lets not keep the analogies one sided.
