    Genesis : Trinity

    Your point is weak, even void, for it is written "all the chief priests and elders of the people plotted against Jesus to put Him to death" and after delivering Him up to Pilate the crowd cried out, “Crucify Him!” And even now you say "Messiah" meaning "God (with us)", rejecting what you choose...

    I really saw the Holy Spirit or holy Ghost with my own eyes. What does that mean?

    Matthew 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit (Siddhi Koli), For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Ezekiel 17:24 And all the trees of the field shall know that I, the Lord, have brought down the high tree and exalted the low tree, dried up the green tree and made the dry tree flourish; I, the Lord...

    Jesus own words that He is the Son of God

    Okay--you're not hearing the logic of it. I explained. But you are not understanding that No, they are not two persons...any more than Bob the daddy and Bob the Plumber are; and No, Bob doesn't go home from his job and title as a Plumber and say to his children, "I am not Daddy, I am Bob the...

    Genesis : Trinity

    The problem with that is that the Jewish monotheists were wrong in their beliefs or they would have believed also in Jesus, and Jesus did not have "beliefs" (as you or they) but "knew" the truth.

    Genesis : Trinity

    That is a No, but Yes answer...and the reason we are having this discussion. You are claiming their beliefs as Jesus' beliefs, when they were "far from" Him. Do you not see the problem there?

    Genesis : Trinity

    Are you trying to say they had it all figured out, were right about everything, and that you share their beliefs? 'Cause like I said, they didn't have all the answers. In fact, their history is rebellion after rebellion, and they killed the prophets and even the Son of God whom He sent to them.

    Jesus own words that He is the Son of God

    The problem is you are not connecting the dots, not considering the bigger picture, but stating a half-truth as if it were all truth. It's not. I did explain, but now you repeat your position as if you still don't get the bigger picture. The words of scripture defined show the Father (or the...

    Genesis : Trinity

    Yes, and yet God then unpacked it beyond what they knew and were told. But that is not to say that God is not repacking it too--because He is. And that is the reason for the problem. People pick up on whatever they fancy and consider it the only truth, not factoring in all truth, making each...

    They didn't have all the answers.

    Where did they invent that I AM is some name of God?

    You are missing the point. Could God have straight away given only His name? Of course--but He didn't. You should be asking, "Why did God answer Moses the way He did?"

    Where did they invent that I AM is some name of God?

    It is true that I AM is not a "name", but it is the answer God gave Moses when he ask expecting a name for who he should say sent him. The fact that God answered by defining "what" He is, rather than "who" He is, was apparently more important to God. Thus, by Moses' intent and also God's...

    Genesis : Trinity

    Technically speaking, if a line is to be drawn between who is God and who is not God but man regarding the person of Jesus/Yeshua: Jesus in the flesh was The Son of Man and a man, but in spirit was the Son of God and God, making Him apart from God as are all men, but also a part of God as no...

    In regard to what Jesus said to Peter, it appears that the Apostle John's presumption is in error.

    I have been charitable in my dealings with you, and also given you that which you have missed, while you are known by your fruit. Now I will tell you a ternary parable--which is also written, but now is fulfilled in you, The Third One: Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial 31 Then Jesus said to them...

    Genesis : Trinity

    Sorry Matthias, but that is just being shallow and not looking at the bigger picture. I just explained it in another thread: The issue here is indeed the thinking of men compared with that of God. Matthew 16:23 We need to remember that mankind has been cast out of the presence of...

    In regard to what Jesus said to Peter, it appears that the Apostle John's presumption is in error.

    That makes a good recap (only with less rattling on). So, let's look at it: 1. Yes the most learned of Israel called Jesus a devil. But that is not what is happening here--not what you have done. 2. As for "the main thrust of [your] theme", what you have done is you have broken from the whole...

    Jesus own words that He is the Son of God

    The issue here is indeed the thinking of men compared with that of God. Matthew 16:23 We need to remember that mankind has been cast out of the presence of God--therefore, by definition, it cannot be said that Christ is God. But "God with us" (Immanuel) is also very clear...that it is instead...

    Genesis : Trinity

    In what context, in the world or in the kingdom of God? Because that is the issue. You could also ask what is Paul, a Pharisee or a Roman or a Christian, yet he also said he was all things to all people. And how foolish it would be to argue about it for 2,000 years, or even to say He is one...

    In regard to what Jesus said to Peter, it appears that the Apostle John's presumption is in error.

    Jesus loved Peter but rebuked Satan in him. That is my stance against one who thinks and speaks as a man but also appoints himself as having authority. Meanwhile I have advised him to ramble less and say more, while he continues to speak against Paul. These things speak for themselves.

    God LAUGHS at the trinity

    A child gives a dog the name "Spot" because it has a spot. If children likewise give God names because He shows up differently and even introduces Himself as different, there is no error. But as you say, it is not "three persons", but One God.

    God LAUGHS at the trinity

    You are referring to the words (which are confused by God). I was not, but rather that all the would-be three who are actually One (which I said) have power over life and death--which is proof of being God. The laughing and the trinity have become a pet peeve with you.
