@ Olawale The bible tells us that the things of the spirit are foolishness to the natural man.
This therefore applies to every man, the natural man on earth. You me and everyone, including Jesus, etc. You will see that your hypothesis is sporous at best. definitely poor and unreliable. For if you have a physical body, you are not spiritual being at that time. A proof of it is that when the andels appeared in human forms, they are not known as angels, but humans, until they say we are messenger of god. Even the angels say that they are messengers. How much less of Jesus, a man born of a woman!

If u try to use logic and common sense to understand God's word, You'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND IT.
Then why did God say that God is not the author of confusion. And also said that one should prove everything and hold what is true, if there is no human and common sense in play at all on the Bible?

Quote
You need God's spirit (the author of d bible) 2 explain it to u.
I bet that if the bible writers were working with the spirit of God, there would not be so many versions of the Bible. My proof is simple, which one of the two, The Catholic Douwy Version with 6 or 7  more Books than the Protestants, eg King james version of the Bible did the spirit of God write? If its the Douwy, then the spirit did not have anything to do with the protestants version. If its the protestants, we should ask what spirit wrote the Catholics in the first place which the protestants copied less the 6 or 7 Books? Shall we then say that the spirit that wrote the Protestants Version, is the new and improved spirit? Man, you have a lot of explanations to make.

You shldnt hold strictly 2 what u've been thought previously.
I am not as gullible as you. Yet I believe in God, the One single Creator. I can think.


Quote
It was needful 4 jesus to go through a temptation inorder 2 be our High Priest. That was why God(the Spirit) allowed the body(jesus) to go through temptation. The story of the fig tree happened that way as a parable 2 teach something- that a xtian shld bear fruit in season and out of season. Jesus speaking that He didnt know d time ,was speaking as d flesh. He had dual statements. He speaks as a flesh(man) and as The Spirit (GOD). He as the flesh was subject to the spirit that was dwelling in Him while He was on earth. But now, that flesh has been given ful authority as God Almighty because the God almighty dwells in that flesh. God veiled Himself with jesus' body. Shalom
The lot above is hogwash. But I must ask you what is in and out of season for Christian, as you have stated above? In season is what and out of season is what? I want to take you through the hoop if you write jargon as a response to me.

If all the fault that yiu alluded to Jesus body is not enough to make you realize that he is not God, no way no how, then, your heart is dead. Is there not an opprtunity for him in all those times to say to his audiences, look am God to you, but am just acting as in flesh right now, even though I am your Creator? But instead we read in many Biblical verses whereby he made it clear that he Jesus is nothing but a tool of God to his audience in order that they may work in the path of guidance. Is that not the same that Moses served to the Children of Israel? Was Muhammad less than that to all mankind? Did Muhammad not invite all the leaders of the powerful civilizations of his time and had from among his followers, during his very lifetime people from Europe, Asia, Africa, Arabs, male and female, young and old and free and slaves and wealthy as well as poor?

Tell me a prophet before him that had people from outside his own people? Tell me the prophet who had the boldness to invite leaders of the world to joun his movement while that same movement was weak militarily and at infancy? Did Jesus not have the opportunity to invite the roman ruler of his day, during his trial? Did he invite him? Now read about the companions of Muhammad, when they were in Ethiopia seeking the protection of the just Christian king. The makkan pagans pursued them to Ethiopia and told the king that they considered Jesus only as a human prophet while you considered him as your god and savior.

The Muslims answered the King directly after they have praised God and told the king of the character of the prophet of God, Muhammad. Then they read Chapter titled Mariam in the Qur'an. The king wept and declared his Islam from Christianity. It was in his journey to Makka to meet the prophet that this king died on the way. Give me a Biblical support of Jesus being anything other than Prophet of God. I will give you, two verses of the Bible supporting the opposite view. I want verses from Jesus directly, and not the concorted parts after he had left. Nothing from Acts and after it. (NOte: I do not trust the gimmick of Paul).

If Moses condition was not a fraud, and Jesus himself did not in any single verse preached Trinity, and he Jesus never said that he is equal to God, then the whole premise of post Jesus preaching of trinity is just a fraud

See this is why I say you don't understand the concept of the Trinity. You think that it was introduced after the death of Jesus.

Quote
Show it to be, everywhere in the "Scripture." I am willing to read. I will not take your interpretation. I just want you to show it to be directly, word for word, and nothing more. I can read. Then I will show you from the "Scripture," word for word that proves everything except Trinity. Infact i will ask you to search the Bible for Trinity as a word. You aint going to find it.


I can't believe you even suggested I try to find the word Trinity in the Bible. You should know better now. Use that with the Protestants, not the Catholics.
But the concept of Trinity is in the Bible.

Like I said I will show you passages in the Bible, but if you understand the concept and true essence of Trinity you will see that the passages you wish to quote for me doesn't contradict the Trinity concept.
But I did say it will be a long write up.

I have to go pray now and study. I have three exams next week, two of them on monday, so no fun for me this weekend.
But I will start the write up next week. I was reading the catechism this morning and I was directed to the Trinity, but particularly the profession of the Christian faith.
I think I'll write that up for you, so that you may see the full picture of it. But it will be full of passages, and even those you wish to cite for me.

Happy 4th of July. Nothing happens in Tally, it's always so boring. Can't wait to move to the big city.

Point of correction, Jesus can never save me because he couldnt save himself but had to cry and begged the one that could save him from death.

Muslims already have Jesus and follow his teachings and not the cooked up story from those that never saw him and contradicted themselves. Jesus was never a christian but a muslim. So the ball is in your court before its too late.

I'll be Jessie James/Josie Whales. Davidylan is a sinner, too? I thought you are a son of god? How can son of god sin? I thought Jesus blood, etc, immunes you from sinning?

After these two protection devices, you still sin, you are definitely not son of God and Jesus blood immunization is not real. From your seclaration that you are a sinner, I can clearly see that you have been fooling me all along. Its therefore a good thing I did not fall for your hokeydoke.

THE ONLY FATHER

Deu 6:4   "Hear, O Yisrayl: YAHAWAH our FATHER, YAHAWAH is ONE!

Zec 14:9 And YAHAWAH shall be KING over all the earth. In that day it shall be—YHWH is ONE," And HIS NAME ONE

THE ONLY CREATOR

Psa 96:5 For all the Gods(elohiym) of the peoples are idols, But YAHAWAH made the heavens. 

Isa 45:12 I have made the earth, and created man on it. My hands--stretched out the heavens,
And all their host I have commanded. 

Psa 95:3 For YHWH is the Great Creator, and THE GREAT KING above all Gods.(Elohiym)

Isa 45:18 This is what YHWH says, Who created the heavens, The Creator, Who formed the

earth and made it, Who has established it, Who did not create it in vain, Who formed it to be
inhabited: "I AM YAHAWAH, and THERE IS NO OTHER’’.

Isa 48:13 Indeed My hand has laid the foundation of the earth, And My right hand has stretched
out the heavens; When I call to them, They stand up together

Yer 51:15 HE has made the earth by HIS POWER; HE has established the world by HIS
WISDOM, and stretched out the heaven by HIS UNDERSTANDING.


THE ONLY SAVIOR

Isa 43:11   I, even I, am YHWH, and besides ME there is no savior. (so much for Jesus a.k.a
Yahshua Messiah)

Isa 43:12   I have declared and saved, I have proclaimed, and there was no strange God (el)
among you; Therefore you are My witnesses,” "that I am YAHAWAH.

Isa 45:21 Tell and bring forth your case; Yes, let them take counsel together. Who has declared
this from ancient time? Who has told it from that time? Have not I, YHWH? And there is no
other source of power besides Me, A Just Father and a SAVIOR; There is none besides ME. 

Yer 14:8 O the Hope of Yisrayl, his Savior in time of trouble, Why should you be like a stranger
in the land, And like a traveler who turns aside to tarry for a night? 

Hsa 13:4 "Yet I am YHWH your Father ever since the land of Egypt, and you will acknowledge
no power or authority but ME; For there is no savior besides ME. ( so much for Jesus Christ a.k.a
Ea Zeus the healer, Iesous, Iesus, Yeshua, Yahsua, Yehoshuah etc)

One LAW

Exd 12:49 One law shall be for the native-born and for the stranger who dwells among you."

Num 15:16 One law and one custom shall be for you and for the stranger who dwells with you.

Num 15:29 You shall have one law for him who sins unintentionally, [for] him who is native-born
among the children of Yisrayl and for the stranger who dwells among them.

Ecc 12:13    Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Reverence YHWH and
keep HIS INSTRUCTION, for this is the whole duty of man.

I hope these scriptures answer your question YHWH IS ONE, Fire burn all trinitarian falsehoods!!!!

JUst because you don't believe the Trinity exists does not mean that it doesn't.
Atheists don't believe that God exists, but does that mean that he doesn't?

Yet people still depending of what they believe without any fact, show as your so called factory of default Trinitarian belief were it can be found in the “holy book”. I just giving a sample of 1+1+1=1, this theory came from your fellows Christians who like to emphasize the oneness of the trinity. How many theologian giving such explanation regarding the trinity. "We worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity; neither confounding the Persons, nor dividing the Substance (Prayer Book, 1662).

The Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God, and yet there are not three Gods but one God." (Athanasian Creed).

What is the Trinity?

The doctrine of Trinity is found in many pagan religions. Brahma, Shiva, and Vishnu are the Trinitarian godhead in Indian religions. In Egypt there was the triad of Osiris, Isis and Horus; in Babylon, Ishtar, Sin, Shamash; ect.

Verus.


'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord' (Deut. 6:4)"

Who is like unto thee, O lord, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders. (Genesis 15:11.)
 Nothing compare among his creations in this universe can be found.is there any of them? Can ~Lady~ contracdict these two passages?

               
 
Quote
now see that 1+1+1=1 is something invented by muslims. Don't say that Christians say something that they don't. I've never actually heard a Christian say that.
           

See this fella how he demonstrate his philosophy this theory presented many many times by you fellow Christendom. That 1+1+1=1, I will not put it here if I didn’t read it from your fellow brother/sister how they explain the Trinitarian theory.

 I want fact from you how you can demonstrates this theory not a hocus focus assertion. Are Trinitarian belief exist before Jesus? Are Trinitarian belief use by other religion before the advent of Jesus? Are Trinitarian is a newly invented prayer? Why it is that all prophet/ messenger before Jesus did not preach trinity?

The Trinity: The Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit.

In simple terms the Father is God, the Son is God, the Holy Spirit is God.
How can this be?
The Son is called the Word of God and the Spirit is called the Spirit of God.
God cannot be separated from his Word and his Spirit. If so, then the question arises, who existed first? God, His Word or His Spirit?
God created heaven and earth out of his Word. The world came to be through the Word of God. God's Word existed with him and is subject to him.
Jesus is God's Word made flesh, why did the Word become flesh? Because of the sin of man. Sin separates man from God. God is the only one who is sinless and in his infinite love and mercy he came upon the earth as a man. He had to come of a woman whom herself is freed from sin as sinful cannot give birth to sinless, that is why Mary is full of grace as the angel greeted her.
Jesus Christ was equally man and God. He is truly man and truly God. With him man and God come together in a union. He is the "meeting" place for man and God.
Why did he have to die?
To free us from sin. Sin is the barrier that separates us from God. God cannot look upon sin. When our first parents were created they were without sin. They could seek the face of God, but after disobedience they could no longer do so, because they now clothed themselves with sin. This disobedience had to be overturned and in so doing reconciling us to God. Taking us back to the image and likeness in which he made us. He made us in his likeness (without sin) now with Christ we can get back to that likeness (without sin). He made us in his image, of one body, functioning together, different parts but still of the same body and never separated. Gen 1:26 "Let us make man in our image (body, different parts but functioning together, head not separated from hands as hands not separated from leg, as legs not separated from heart), after our likeness (without sin)."
With sin comes death, therefore Christ had to conquer death, he alone could do this by his own power because he alone is free from sin by his own power.
With his resurrection he defeated sin, and as he resurrected so will we do, those who walk in his footsteps. We too will resurrect in the likeness of God (without sin).
As he walked the earth he showed us how to live faithfully to his commandments. As he died on the cross he showed us how to accept sufferring and doing the will of the Father without complaint. As he resurrected he gave us hope of one day being reconciled with the Father. To be reconciled one has to be without sin, because God does not accept sin.
Walking in his footsteps---living faithfully, accepting sufferring, and dying in Christ. We have salvation to look forward to. We have resurrection without sin to look forward to, resurrecting without sin, we are reconciled fully with the Father, because the Father does not accept sin.

How is it that Jesus is God?
Because he is sinless. God alone is sinless, that makes Christ God. God alone can defeat death by his own power, that makes Christ God. Christ is God's Word, God did not exist without his Word, clearly he communicated with humans through his word, so his word had to have existed along with him. The only one that can exist from beginning is God.
This is the mystery of the faith in the Trinity.

How is it that Holy Spirit is God?
Because it is the Spirit of God. He proceeds from the Father and the Son (the Word of God) he is at the commandment of the Father and the Son (the Word of God). He existed from the beginning along with the Father and the Son (WORD of God). He spoke through the Prophets. God's Spirit certainly did not start existing later on, it was always there. But was it made known to all, ofcourse not. Only a select few could know him, those select few being the Prophets. Those were the ones filled with the Spirit, those were the ones who could seek the face of God. Those were the ones who were worthy enough. But after the resurrection of the Son, who came to reconcile God with man, who broke the barrier that separates God from man (sin) all those who seek the Father through the Son receives the Spirit. The Spirit is now able to live within anyone who comes to the Father, through the Son.

The two are subject to the Father. The Father is the head and the Son and Spirit are the hands that carry out the Father's works. But we know that as we have our heads that do the thinking and our hands that do the work, our hands are not separated from us. We are one body. Just as the Father, the Son, the Spirit are one body, functioning together and never without each other.

Muslims say that what is preached in the Gospel is not what Christ preached. Yet they agree that he was crucified. There is overwhelming evidence of his cricifixion, even the Jews agree and till this day still tell of it.
Well question is if what the gospels speak of are not what preached then how is it that his crucifixion came to be. If Christ had not preached about being the Son of God and being one with God then he wouldn't have been crucified. To the Jews this was blaspheme. But since we know through history that Christ was crucified and the reason he was crucified (before Paul), then how could it be that he didn't preach what is written in the gospels?
It couldn't, therefore he did preach what was in the gospel. In so doing disproving that the Quran is correct.

But for a more detailed view on the Trinity I will do the following write up.


We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, one in being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Hoy Spirit he was born of the virgin Mary, and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered, died, and was buried.
On the third day he rose again in fulfillment of the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.


Will be back for more.

Am making my own analysis, without distrupting the on going conversation with other people.
Quote
The Trinity: The Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit.

Trinity simply means 3 entities. This is different from Unity, as in Unity Theory, a mathematically problem solved by Dr. Oyinbo. A Nigerian from Bendel state, on Long Island New York State. Unity means bringing to One. That is not Trinity which is 3 entities or derivative of it.



Quote
In simple terms the Father is God, the Son is God, the Holy Spirit is God.
How can this be?
The Son is called the Word of God and the Spirit is called the Spirit of God.
God cannot be separated from his Word and his Spirit. If so, then the question arises, who existed first? God, His Word or His Spirit?

As the word embodies the entity that speaks the word, it however does not makes the word that speaker, or in true sense of manifestation makes the speaker the word. What the word does is simply the embodiment of what the speaker intends. For example, when a parent leaves words for the children. It is the instructions to the children. They are to follow it as it represents the parent. But the parent is not the word.



Quote
God created heaven and earth out of his Word. The world came to be through the Word of God. God's Word existed with him and is subject to him.

Please let us apply the same facts about the word and the creations of heaven and earth to the creation of Jesus as well. Otherwise, we have to be consistent on the matters of Jesus and the word on one hand and the heaven and earth and th word on the other. Jesus was a command as heaven and earth was just commandment from God, by His word which make them come to existence as He willed in the commandments. Please continue to read your own writing. Remember that you have just continued to talk about God and Jesus, wherebt the spirit/holy spirit/holy ghost is just completely ignored.



Quote
Jesus is God's Word made flesh,

Just the same way that the heaven and earth are God's word made physical. Interestingly, There were example of harder human creations before esus was created. Each one of them is a new creation: Adam, a man created from admixture of water and soil, but no father and no mother. Eve was creaed a woman, without a mother, if Adam was taken as her father, because of the piece of material she was created from came from his body. These two people, slept with each other to produce male and female children, the first time sex was involved in creation. The children, brothers and sisters married each other to produce another generation of people. The cousins now married each other, to produce another generation, whereby the population is now exploding and agreater gene pool is now being experience. Interestingly, Jesus did not come to existence afterall of these and after humans were wiped out to a just handful in the Flood that occurred during the prophetic period of Noah.




Quote
why did the Word become flesh? Because of the sin of man.

You then are obligated to tell us why the word became  physical in the case of heaven and earth?




Quote
Sin separates man from God.

Could you tell us when man was never separated from God? In other words, was there a time from Adam, onward that  man and god are never separated? If there is no time then the concept of sin separating man from God will be wrong.




Quote
God is the only one who is sinless and in his infinite love and mercy he came upon the earth as a man. He had to come of a woman whom herself is freed from sin as sinful cannot give birth to sinless, that is why Mary is full of grace as the angel greeted her.

From your own statement we see that Mary herself is freed from sin. This simply means she was not created with the ability to sin, or prevented from sinning or whenever she sinned, she was immediately forgiven as it was never recorded for her. If this is the case, then, you have more than one person on the earth who did not sin. If the craterion of being "GOD," on earth is simply being sinless, as you have said that God is in heaven, since you said that he had to come on earth, in the person of Jesus, then we would assume that Mary was also God.

Bt wait, who decides what is sin or sinfulness? The one who decides, in this case god, will out to be above it. Anything that He deemed sinful, will have to be by His authority, alone, after He has warned against it. You can not be guilty about something unless there is a standing statement to indicate it as such. In other words, if thiefery was not a thing already considerd as sinful, w2ho ever took things that belong to othrs and not their own, would not have been considered to have committed thiefery!



Quote
Jesus Christ was equally man and God. He is truly man and truly God. With him man and God come together in a union. He is the "meeting" place for man and God.

If Jesus is all of this to man, becaues he is God's word to man, then the heaven and earth will have to be the same to the galaxies and the planetary systems, known and yet unknown! Thats even harder, since Jesus deals with just humans, male and female, while the heaven and earth deal with many more and complex creations. Now, what is playing the same role for the animals as Jesus is for  man and heaven and earth are for the planetary things? Give me what is playing that role for the many flesh eating animals, eg Lion, Tiger, Leper, Cheatter, Hyienna, etc?




Quote
Why did he have to die?
To free us from sin.

Yet we still have loads of people who commit sins. Let just concentrate on the Christians, alone, being the single group that believe this roke you are saying that Jesus played.




Quote
Sin is the barrier that separates us from God. God cannot look upon sin.

But God allow the sinner, eg those who do not believe that he exists to eat, healthy, etc. Some of these peple are the most wealthy people on earth. Bill Gates is a very good example. I do not want to even talk about the hindus etc. God can look on sins. How else are sins recorded into the book of deeds which wll be read out in the day of Judgement?




Quote
When our first parents were created they were without sin. They could seek the face of God, but after disobedience they could no longer do so, because they now clothed themselves with sin. This disobedience had to be overturned and in so doing reconciling us to God.

Are you saying that Adam and his wife, Eve were not forgiven, as it is recorded that they were inspired to seek forgiveness from God, immediately, as they arrived on earth? If this is not the case, are you then saying that their fate is the same as the fate of the evil one who incited them to the evil that occurred in the garden?  If this is the case, then what is the fate of those who came before Jesus was born and then began his ministry, by which you gave him the title of the one who overtuned the sinfulness of all after him and reconcile man to God? What about Noah who by his prayer, the human raise was wiped out to a feww people who were saved with him in his vessel, because they believed his message?




Quote
Taking us back to the image and likeness in which he made us. He made us in his likeness (without sin) now with Christ we can get back to that likeness (without sin).

If a person steps on an insect, knowingly or knowingly, is one of the situation not sinful? If a person cut down a cherry tree, or set fire to a tree so that the tree dies, depriving animals from making nexts and homes on it, depriving man from its shade from excruciating sun rays and the head of the afternoon, or the beauty of its lushness of uts green leaves and beautiful flowers and the fragrances of its petals and nectars, will any of these be considered as sin? How many sins do we knowingly or unknowingly commit, daily?

I remember your argument with me that just merely the single passing thought of sexual relationship out of marriage, is sinful. That was just a thought that flashed through the mind and it was dismissed, immediately. Can anyone meet this sinless conditions that you had set, while he is fully engaged in life struggle and interracting with varied peoples? Please consider answering each and every idea about sin that i set forward for you to answer. If you can, but if not, its okay, too.




Quote
He made us in his image, of one body, functioning together, different parts but still of the same body and never separated. Gen 1:26 "Let us make man in our image (body, different parts but functioning together, head not separated from hands as hands not separated from leg, as legs not separated from heart), after our likeness (without sin)."

I hope you are not saying that human head and each parts of human, is like that of God's? That will destroy your believe that God is a spirit, wouldn't it? The without sin will have to be explained further. Let me try to undersatnd you; Are you saying that When Adam and his wife were created they were sinless, and the disobedience was their first sin, right? If this is so again were they forgiven, ever, hence having the good grace of God's forgiveness? If this is no, how were people forgiven before Jesus came on earth? Interestingly, Jesus did not introduce any new word for which people to seek forgiveness, other than what the people before him used to use; realising their mistakes, being contrived and seeking forgiveness from God, alone.

If Adam and Eve were created sinless, are not children created sinless as they were just born out of the mother's womb? Will a newly born baby who dies after birth be considered sinful or sinless? Say the first minute of life, without even a chance to suckle from mother?



Quote
With sin comes death, therefore Christ had to conquer death, he alone could do this by his own power because he alone is free from sin by his own power.

But ironically, Christians who truly believes in Jesus can do all that you mentioned still die! Tell me, wasn't John paul that was buried in 2004, with his fet buried some where different from other parts of his body?  Did any of those who followed Jesus as his companions not die? Did paul who developed the Christian doctrines not dead, yet?



Quote
With his resurrection he defeated sin, and as he resurrected so will we do, those who walk in his footsteps. We too will resurrect in the likeness of God (without sin).

My darling, tell me one single person who has reached this very stage or level? I am not even giving you my opinion about Jesus? I am also of the opinion that everyone, those who believe with you or we who do not believe your concept above will be ressurrected. Thats how judgement will be pronounced. I want to hear about a sinless christian, in the maintime!



Quote
As he walked the earth he showed us how to live faithfully to his commandments.

PLease tell me how he tell you to behave to your husband? Him and no one else? Tell me how he tell you to distribute your wealth, or the wealth of deceased? Tell me how he tells you to purify yourself after sexual intercourse with your partner, etc? Tell me how he tells you to lay down to sleep? Tell how he tell you to make prayer to him, or God?




Quote
As he died on the cross he showed us how to accept sufferring and doing the will of the Father without complaint.

Efeosa! Oh girl. This one pass me o! Now explain how "My God, My God, why has thou forsaken me?!," came about? If doing the will is so important why trying to refuse it and prayed against it in the prayers at the Garden of Geshemine? I did not read "Father," here but "God!" Go figure.




Quote
As he resurrected he gave us hope of one day being reconciled with the Father. To be reconciled one has to be without sin, because God does not accept sin.

You are telling me that the Christian God does not forgive. Well, people in the christendom, it seems as if you have been praying for forgiveness for nothing. The reason is that your God does not accept repentance and so He does not forgive.



Omo girl, how was the test(s)? I wish you well.

Robert Ingersoll makes the following comments in Ingersoll's Works, Vol. 4, p. 266-67:

Here is the dilemma. Christians know that in order for Jesus to be the savior of mankind, he must also be God. The bible says so. If he is not God, then he cannot be the savior. His death would be meaningless. So Christians have invented the Trinity to explain Christ's divinity. He is man. He is God. He is both. He must be in order to be the savior. Unfortunately, he is ambivalent at best. Sometimes he claims to be one with God. Sometimes he admits God knows things which he doesn't know and does things which he cannot do. Christians go to nearly any length to prove the Trinity including the declaration that its a "mystery" and we "just don't have the mind to understand it". Is the bible the perfect, inerrant word of God? The Christian created Trinity doctrine and the contradictions which must accompany the doctrine sound a resounding "No"! So how did the Trinity doctrine/dogma come into existence?

The origins of the Trinity doctrine are appalling. Like most historic issues pertaining to Christianity, there was much deceit and bloodshed. Many lives were lost before 'Trinitarianism' was finally adopted.

As many Christians know, the word "trinity" does not appear in the Bible. It doesn't because it is a doctrine which evolved in early Christianity. It was a manipulated, bloody and deadly process before it finally arrived as an 'accepted' doctrine of the church.

OTHER TRINITIES
.
Hinduism embraced the triune godhead of Brahma, the god of creation ; Vishnu the god of maintenance and Siva the god of destruction. One of Egypt's many trinities was Horus, Isis and Osiris.

The founders of the early Christian church had no idea that the Trinity concept would evolve, be voted upon by politicians, forced by emperors and eventually become an integral part of Christianity such as we have it today. Is it any wonder that its "difficult" to explain?

Is there one Christian God or Three In One? The majority of Christian churches hold to the Trinity doctrine but there are still Christian church holdouts who reject the teaching. We now enjoy the freedom to believe either doctrine but at risk of ridicule if we choose non-Trinitarian beliefs.

Just like at Burger King, "you can have it your way".

Olabowale, there is a reason why I asked that all comments be held until I am done.
Babs respected my wish and I thank him for that.
You however have shown complete disrespect for my wish.
If you would actually adhere to my wish you will notice that the questions you ask are immediately followed by an answer in my post.
That is my reason for asking that you hold it until I say I am done.

Quote
Could you tell us when man was never separated from God? In other words, was there a time from Adam, onward that  man and god are never separated? If there is no time then the concept of sin separating man from God will be wrong.

Yes before Adam and Eve chose to obey satan rather than God.

Quote
Jesus did not come to existence afterall of these and after humans were wiped out to a just handful in the Flood that occurred during the prophetic period of Noah.

Please don't read the Islamic belief into the Christian belief. Jesus existed before the world. He became flesh later on. He was seen by humans later on, but his substance was already in existence.

Quote
From your own statement we see that Mary herself is freed from sin. This simply means she was not created with the ability to sin, or prevented from sinning or whenever she sinned, she was immediately forgiven as it was never recorded for her.

Being freed from sin does not mean that you do not have the nature to be sinful. She had to be cleansed from her sin by becoming "full of grace" (go look up grace to understand this more).
The salvation that was to be brought to mankind was presented to Mary before she gave birth to Jesus.

She was prevented from sin. That is why she is the model for the true disciple of Christ. She is the model of virtue for Christians. She is God's most faithful disciple (follower).

Quote
If the craterion of being "GOD," on earth is simply being sinless, as you have said that God is in heaven, since you said that he had to come on earth, in the person of Jesus, then we would assume that Mary was also God.

It is by God's grace that Mary is without sin. Stop picking what you want out of my statements and running with it. You missed the part about God preparing Mary for birthing Christ.
Mary is not sinless by her own power but God's power. Christ is sinless by his own power, because he is God.
The criteria of being "GOD" is not simply being sinless, we all are to be sinless before we can enter heaven, but we do not obtain salvation "sinlessness" by our own power but by God's.
Mary had no power in her salvation. So no Mary is not God.
The criteria is being able to be sinless by your own power and the only one that can do that is God.

Quote
Bt wait, who decides what is sin or sinfulness? The one who decides, in this case god, will out to be above it. Anything that He deemed sinful, will have to be by His authority, alone, after He has warned against it. You can not be guilty about something unless there is a standing statement to indicate it as such. In other words, if thiefery was not a thing already considerd as sinful, w2ho ever took things that belong to othrs and not their own, would not have been considered to have committed thiefery!

Having a sinful nature does not mean that you will sin. There are people who are capable of committing adultery but never do. You Olabowale are capable of committing fornication or adultery but does that mean that you do it?

Quote
If Jesus is all of this to man, becaues he is God's word to man, then the heaven and earth will have to be the same to the galaxies and the planetary systems, known and yet unknown! Thats even harder, since Jesus deals with just humans, male and female, while the heaven and earth deal with many more and complex creations. Now, what is playing the same role for the animals as Jesus is for  man and heaven and earth are for the planetary things? Give me what is playing that role for the many flesh eating animals, eg Lion, Tiger, Leper, Cheatter, Hyienna, etc?

Lol. Ok man please stop grasping at straws. So tell me what your dog thinks about sin.

Quote
Yet we still have loads of people who commit sins. Let just concentrate on the Christians, alone, being the single group that believe this roke you are saying that Jesus played.

Being free from sin does not mean that you do not have a sinful nature. I don't commit fornication does not mean that I am not capable of it.

Quote
But God allow the sinner, eg those who do not believe that he exists to eat, healthy, etc. Some of these peple are the most wealthy people on earth. Bill Gates is a very good example. I do not want to even talk about the hindus etc. God can look on sins. How else are sins recorded into the book of deeds which wll be read out in the day of Judgement?

Don't take my words out of context. God does not accept sin. Is that better? He will not allow anyone to rest in his abode if he or she is still stained by sin.

Quote
Are you saying that Adam and his wife, Eve were not forgiven, as it is recorded that they were inspired to seek forgiveness from God, immediately, as they arrived on earth?

1. recorded where? the Quran? That's not the book of God.
2 So when they arrived on earth they already committed a sin before they arrived?
3 What sin would that be?

Quote
If this is not the case, are you then saying that their fate is the same as the fate of the evil one who incited them to the evil that occurred in the garden?

Using the stories of the Quran to explain the stories of the Bible is just plain "unintelligent". You don't use the story in the Quran to explain the Bible story.

Quote
If this is the case, then what is the fate of those who came before Jesus was born and then began his ministry, by which you gave him the title of the one who overtuned the sinfulness of all after him and reconcile man to God?

ahh see there's the thing about Christ descending to free those in prison. He even freed those who perished in the flood. But they had to be faithful to God, even though they were not as faithful as Noah was. They were still disobedient to God.

Quote
What about Noah who by his prayer, the human raise was wiped out to a feww people who were saved with him in his vessel, because they believed his message?

ok one more time using the quran to explain the Bible story is just plain unintelligent. You can't ask me questions about what I don't believe.
Ask about what I ACTUALLY believe, not what you believe and hold to be true.

Quote
If a person steps on an insect, knowingly or knowingly, is one of the situation not sinful? If a person cut down a cherry tree, or set fire to a tree so that the tree dies, depriving animals from making nexts and homes on it, depriving man from its shade from excruciating sun rays and the head of the afternoon, or the beauty of its lushness of uts green leaves and beautiful flowers and the fragrances of its petals and nectars, will any of these be considered as sin? How many sins do we knowingly or unknowingly commit, daily?

We knowingly and unknowingly commit many sins each day. That is why we should ask for forgiveness for those sins that we may not even recognise as sin.

Quote
I remember your argument with me that just merely the single passing thought of sexual relationship out of marriage, is sinful. That was just a thought that flashed through the mind and it was dismissed, immediately. Can anyone meet this sinless conditions that you had set, while he is fully engaged in life struggle and interracting with varied peoples? Please consider answering each and every idea about sin that i set forward for you to answer. If you can, but if not, its okay, too.

Uh see you're lying. I remember that conversation vividly and don't forget that I had people around me at that time that became involved in the conversation.
Your position was that there was nothing wrong with entertaining the thought of having sexual relationship with someone other than your wife as long as your wife did not know about it.
I challenged you on that and told you that when you entertain such thoughts you are committing adultery. It wasn't until after I brought in the situation of pornography and asked why you consider that a sin eve though you are not partaking in the sexual relationship that you "flip-flopped" and said that such thoughts should be dismissed.

So I asked you to ask your wife if it was ok for you to entertain thoughts of having sexual relationship with someone other than her. I still haven't received a reply. What's her position on it?

Quote
I hope you are not saying that human head and each parts of human, is like that of God's? That will destroy your believe that God is a spirit, wouldn't it?

No it wouldn't. Being created in the image of God means functioning as he does. As in he has these parts that work together as the parts of the body work together as "one" and "inseparable" not that God himself has a physical body as we humans do.

Quote
Let me try to undersatnd you; Are you saying that When Adam and his wife were created they were sinless, and the disobedience was their first sin, right?

Yes.

Quote
If this is so again were they forgiven, ever, hence having the good grace of God's forgiveness?

Yes.

Quote
Interestingly, Jesus did not introduce any new word for which people to seek forgiveness, other than what the people before him used to use; realising their mistakes, being contrived and seeking forgiveness from God, alone.

so who said he introduced a new way? Christ did not come to abolish the law, he came to fulfill it.

Quote
If Adam and Eve were created sinless, are not children created sinless as they were just born out of the mother's womb? Will a newly born baby who dies after birth be considered sinful or sinless? Say the first minute of life, without even a chance to suckle from mother?

Humanity was created sinless, but by disobeying God brought about the sinful nature. In doing so God decided ok, you've turned against me, now in order to get back to that level of comfort (grace) that you had before, you have to work for it. You have to prove that yo truly love me, now you have to stay true to my commandments. You have to prove yourself to be mine and not the devil's, you can't serve two masters.
Just as we inherit heatburn or diabetes from our parents or highblood pressure, we inherit the sinful nature. We are able to have heartburn, we have a high risk of heartburn, diabetes, or highblood pressure, but if we are careful in doing what is right we stay away from it. Same with sin. We have a sinful nature but by being careful in doing what is right we stay away from sin.

A child is born with the sinful nature, but if he/she dies immediately after birth then they he/she is accepted into heaven. Why? Because while they have a sinful nature they did not act upon it.

Quote

Did paul who developed the Christian doctrines not dead, yet?

1. Paul DID NOT create the Christian doctrine. Christians existed before Paul became one. He did not write the gospels as you confusingly believe.
2. Did you miss the part about Christ rising from his own power?

Quote

The Saints. There are too may of them, do your research on it.

Quote
PLease tell me how he tell you to behave to your husband?

I am to love my husband and not committ adultery.

Quote
Tell me how he tell you to distribute your wealth, or the wealth of deceased?

They are already in the old testaments. Christ did not come to nullify the laws but to fulfill it.

Quote
Tell me how he tells you to purify yourself after sexual intercourse with your partner, etc?

DUDE, SERIOUSLY, you don't need to be told to wash you arse when you have sex. I'm sorry, it jsut seems like you know the prophet had to tell you to do these things, but for real personal hygiene doesn't have to be writen in stone.

Quote
Tell me how he tells you to lay down to sleep?

Lol, this is so laughable. There is a wrong way to sleep?
Will God punish you for sleeping on the couch, on your side, on your back, on your stomach. Which one will God punish you for?
When you sleep are you conscious as to which way you're laying? If you are, you're not sleeping. In sleep you are in a state of unconsciousness.

Quote
Tell how he tell you to make prayer to him, or God?

Our Father, Who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name, thy Kingdom come
Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven
give us this day our daily bread
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us
and lead us not into temptation but deliver us of evil


Christ asks us to go to the corner in our room to pray and not be like hypocrites who stand on the corner of the street to pray so that all may see that they are holy. God sees the heart.

Quote
Efeosa! Oh girl. This one pass me o! Now explain how "My God, My God, why has thou forsaken me?!," came about? If doing the will is so important why trying to refuse it and prayed against it in the prayers at the Garden of Geshemine? I did not read "Father," here but "God!" Go figure.

I am still yet to see how "why have you forsaken me" interprets to "I don't want to do this"
Then you haven't gotten the idea of the Trinity and how it is that they exist. There is God, there is God's Word, there is God's Spirit. God's Word has been with him from the beginning of time. Certainly his word did not start existing when Jesus was born in the flesh, but Jesus is the Word that's always existed but now it has come in the flesh, now humans were able to see him. God's Spirit, now that's just a given. His Spirit did not exist later on but with him. His Spirit is Truth because God is truth, His Spirit is Wisdom because God is wisdom.
The Word and Spirit are subject to God the Father.

Quote
You are telling me that the Christian God does not forgive. Well, people in the christendom, it seems as if you have been praying for forgiveness for nothing. The reason is that your God does not accept repentance and so He does not forgive.

Please explain how you got this from that statement I made. I think you just wanted to rant on something, because your statement holds no basis.

When the bible says jesus is standing on the right hand of God, it means that the authority, power and judgement of God is now utilized by Jesus. He is not literaly standing close to another person cald God. The doctrine of trinity is not found in the scriptures. The Godhead is not made of three persons in one. God is not a person, He is a spirit. God the father is also God the son, and also God the holyspirit in three offices. Jesus is the manifestation of God in a physical body to die 4 man's sins (col 2:9). Jesus is not another God in unity with two other Gods. He is the same God the father manifested in flesh form (john 14 :9). God is one not three. Shalom

Quoting the Bible for them won't prove anything to them. To them what you are quoting is what they view as corrupt. Why would they hold something corrupt to be true?

Explaining it and helping them understand what the belief is, is the way to go.

I hope after I am done, they will understand better. Maybe they won't ask questions about what Christians don't believe, but rather what we do believe and get to see it from our view, and not the carnal view in which they use to view and understand the Bible

You can't explain or understand the Bible based on the Quran. Don't ask me questions that do not deal with the Christian faith. Thanks. If you do, I will ignore you. If you notice that I am ignoring you then go back and comment on Christianity not what you believe it to be or what Islam has taught you.

The collosians Book that you are quoting so liberally from, was it written in the time of jesus or after he had been lifted up to heaven? Could you actually make jesus responsible for what was said while he was already lifted up? Can you tag Jesus as the author of what others wrote? Can you tag God as the author of Jesus statement, eg when he unilaterally find a wise way to help the woman accused of adultery. Or when he reduced the 613 laws, including the 10 Cimmandments to a 2 parter laws of Love for god and Neighbor.

If Jehova was dwelling in the belly of jesus, as you claimed, say from when he was ermitva (Baptized), then he was wrong to have said "Father in Heaven," in the Lord's prayers. It will also going to surprise anyone when Jesus cried out that he was forsaken by the entity that he has in his belly. Don't you think?

@~Lady~: I will probably response to your accusation that I made a suggestion that it is okay to continue to think about a next door neighbor in a sexual sense. But I will do that later. What a person thinks about because of satanic suggestion is different from consciously wanting to fantasize at it. The first, you struggle against it. the other is something brought to the heart for evil purpose. I will expanciate and give you what my bride said.
