[b]Let me give simple analysis without going deeper, in the old testament as it is written, '' the word of God come to Isaiah, Jeremiah et all'' because they were sent by God. In the time of Jesus, Jesus spoke with authority, verily verily I say unto you..etc because he is the word and he is the living God. Read: Collosians 1:15-18 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. 18 And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence. 1 Timothy 3: 16 16 [b]And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory. 1 John 1 vs 1-4 1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life— 2 the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us— 3 that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. 4 And these things we write to you that your[a] joy may be full. John 14 VS 8-9 8 Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.” 9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? [/b] 1 Like |

So based on your literal explanation, which one came first, the computer, hardware, or the operating system? And before you ramble like a rabid dog again, make sure you read about the history of the computer wella wella. Then you will realize you're not as wise as what you have been fooled to believe. |

You are the biggest foool that ever liveth! cold: I think the Holy Spirit is God's private organ. Remember the 'virgin' Mary was impregnated by the Holy Spirit. More so,i believe God was talking about himself in this verse..of course,only a supreme being can have genitals that big & emit propane gases of such magnitude. In any event,why is this even in the bible? God must be really Hot |

FOR THOSE WHO DONT KNOW, LEARN! THE DOCTRINE OF TRINITY IS NOT FOR THE DETERMINED-IGNORANTS, CLOSED-MINDED 'CHRISTIANS'. THE LACK OF UNDERSTANDING OF ANY TRUTH CAN NEVER INVALIDATES IT. I DONT KNOW 1% OF NEURO-SURGEON, HAS THAT NULLIFIED IT? 1. The LORD JESUS himself said (not Apostle Paul. For those who have decided to run amock because of Apostle Paul) in Matthew 28:19 'Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the NAME (NOTE THE SINGULAR USAGE) of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost' 2. AT JESUS' BAPTISM: Matthew 3:13-17 '...and Jesus,...went up straightway out of the water [Jordan]: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God [HOLY SPIRIT] descending like a dove, and lighting upon him [THE SON]... And lo a voice from heaven [THE FATHER], saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased' 3. THE EARLY DISCIPLES (Peter), Acts 5:3-4 'But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost [neither the Father nor the Son is mentioned here]...why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? Thou has not lied unto men but unto God' [the Holy Spirit is equated to the Father here!] 4. For those who do not know anything [worse for those who do not want to know] and yet antagonise this great truth, CHECK THE BENEDICTION : 2 Cor. 13:14 'The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ [SON], and the love of God [FATHER], and the communion/fellowship of the Holy Ghost [HOLY SPIRIT], be with you all. Amen' [Many of us say it blindly and yet can not point to where it is in the Bible. The doctrine of the Trinity is grounded in the scriptures (though the word is never used). You only need to open the Bible and allow yourself to be taken up by the Same Holy Spirit or go to where it is being studied (not critiqued. Or else you will been blindly given a million errors) Time will not permit me of the great truth of Illustrations from the Old Testament. HOWEVER, IT IS SUFFICIENTLY ABUNDANT THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT IS PART AND PARCEL OF THE BLESSED TRINITY. HE IS EQUAL TO/WITH THE FATHER AND THE SON! (hope that will not bring up another blind arguement?) NB: -The letter (research work, learning, knowledge) killeth, but the [Holy] spirit giveth life 2 Cor 3:6 - ...Now if any man have NOT Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. [will never reign with Christ. Will never be part of the Rapture.] Romans 8:9 Peace unto you all. |

maximunimpact:[color=#990000] It was believed that the earth was flat, this was later confirmed that the earth is spherical. Should we discount the latter because it came later? In your primary school dx/dy (calculus) made no sense, but this is appreciated as you advance(d). Should we castigate your later knowledge just because it came later? Abraham only knew God as Almighty (all-sufficient). Does that mean He is not the I am that I am to Moses later? |

The Trinity is a PAGAN concept and has nothing to do with God. There is one God , one Messiah and one Spirit. The Spirit and God are inseparable. |

After everything, Jesus himself said with his own lips that "The Father is greater than I am" (John 14 :28) So what is the fuss about?? If you keep insisting that Christ is equal to God, something he has obviously denied then you are saying your own opinion and not Christ's. 2 Likes |

TRINITY So many ppu who believe in trinity do not know the meaning. Trinity means three persons in one that are not seperable. I have the following questions. 1. Who did Jesus Christ prayed to while on earth? 2. Who died when Jesus was put to death ? 3. The holy spirit that Moses saw in the thorn bush and those ones of the pentecost 33CE, are they persons? God is not a mystery. James 4:8 says 'draw close to God and He will draw close to you'. The bible mentioned the fact that God, Christ and the holy spirit are one. It means the are in agreement. Take note that the bible also mentioned that husband and wife should be one. It means they should be in agreement. 1 Like |

The Holy Spirit is a divine person, He's called the spirit of God(Gen1:2, Num24:2, 1Sam10:10), the Spirit of Christ(Rom8:9, 1Pet1:11), the Spirit of promise(Eph1:13). His duties are numerous. He comforts the believer in Christ(John16:7), He reproves the world of Sin and righteousness(John16:8-11), The Holy Spirit does not speak of himself, but shall testify of Jesus, The Holy Spirit is not just an active force, He is a person. Now see this following verses, in Acts16:9-13 The Holy Spirit directed Paul and his company were to preach. The Holy Spirit is not just an active force, He is a divine person whom Jesus promised in John16:5-15 to comfort us when He has gone to the Father, The Holy Spirit has emotions too just like a person He can be grieved or offended as seen in Eph4:30, The Holy Spirit intercedes for the Saints according to the will of God(Rom8:27). And finally before I leave let me tell us this that our bodies is the temple of the Holy Ghost(1Cor6:19). Above receive Jesus Christ for he is the way, truth and life. The only to Jehovah, the creator. Jesus said I and my father are one(John10:30), he that receive me receive him that sent me. So there is no way can claim to serve Jehovah by rejecting his Son, and the Holy Spirit has been given us so to help comfort us in this christian race. I pray God preserve us blameless and spotless before the coming of His Son. |

Baptism of Jesus Christ made it clear that there are 3 seperate entities. Jesus was on earth, the voice of God was heard from heaven and the Holy spirit (which is the invisible force of God) has no exact shape or size appeared in form of Dove. (Mat.3:16-17) and its not possible that durin the whole conception of Jesus in the womb of mary the was no God in heaven or Earth for the Jesus was in the womb of mary. And when Jesus was killed and buried, then resurrected on the 3 day there was no God in existence for those 3 days? Not possible! God can never be killed or destroyed. Jesus christ even cleared the air in John 5:30. Trinity is a false doctrine! 1 Like |
