Cutehector:why is it you, you and pastors generally, like to sell fear to people when they question the norm? Don't even bother, I'm not moved by threats cos I know better. God is not the merciless and vengeful being the majority of you paint Him indirectly with your words. I'd talk about your cited verses and you in turn would answer just two questions, if you have an answer. Col 2 : 9. King James version mentions 'Godhead', and other translations say it's the fullness of the divine quality. Which is correct? Read verse 10 too. We have acquired a fullness by means of him. A fullness of what? The Trinitarian Godhead? Does that make us part of the trinity too? Lol. Read John 1: 14 - 16 so you'd know what Jesus actually was filled with and how come how come his followers can have that fullness too. Isa 55 : 8, 9. God's ways and thoughts are higher than ours. How does that make God a trinity? If that's support for a confused man-made doctrine as being from God, it's a poor attempt at best. Matthew 28 : 19. So the fact that God, Jesus and the holy spirit are mentioned together makes them indistinguishable? Lol. Try this, does saying "the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob" mean the three persons are the same? Read verse 18. Who GAVE Jesus all authority? You cannot give what you don't have. Certainly that person (God) has all authority which Jesus did not have until he was GIVEN. How then are they equal? 2nd Corinthians 13 :14. That's a greeting. A wish that God's undeserved kindness and that of Jesus God's son be with them, and that they continue to have God's holy spirit. How does that make them a trinity? Because they are mentioned together? Read 1 Cor 15 : 19 and tell me if Aquila, Prisca and the church (congregation) in their house are also the same because they sent greetings together. Gen 1: 26. Lol. Seriously? How does this even support the trinity? John 1 : 1. This is the only verse in the whole Bible that looks like it's teaching trinity. However, if you compare translations like I always do you'd notice that the verse points to Jesus nature and not his entity. He is divine, the same nature with his father in heaven as well as the angels - he was a mighty spirit in heaven. What John 1 : 1 - 18 is pointing out is the fact that Jesus existed in a far greater form in heaven before being born as a human (a mortal). Bring more verses if you will... Now my questions... 1) To beget means to become the father of a child either when the child is born or adopted. If Jesus has always existed and wasn't created at some point, why is he called the only-BEGOTTEN son of God? 2) Colossians 1 : 15 calls Jesus the firstborn of creation. Revelation 3 : 14 calls Jesus the beginning of the creation by God (some translations use 'of' instead of 'by', doesn't matter) same way Jacob called Reuben his firstborn and the beginning of his powers (of procreation). Now, how is Jesus the firstborn of creation if he wasn't created? Some say it is just rank, well the president (number one citizen) of Nigeria is also a Nigerian. No? |

youngaz: Are you trying to say that you're in the same class with Jesus? John 3:16 calls Jesus the only begotten son of God. We're children of God by adoption but Jesus Christ is the only begotten son of God and He Himself is also God. Peace. |

Ahmedhussain3463:Why can't u focus on ur quran and stop medelling on other people's religion. U can believe whatever u want to believe but we christians believe that there is God the father, Jesus Christ the Son and the Holy Ghost. |

hotspec: I think u are mistaking the qurian for bible where there are so many writers ... The qurian is the word of Allah and not the prophets' (s.a.w). The words and teachings of the prophets and His companions are contained in the Hadith. I encourage u to seek more non - sentimental knowledge about islam first. To answer ur question. Ayah 85 of Surat Al Imran. Thanx |

Horlawale1: So we know get any pastor to enlighten us on this simple questions. And we all carry this Bible everyday, without knowing any reference to it. My people perish because they lack knowledge. Also in the Bible |
