Well, then you understand the concept. The point is that God is manifest in three persons, but Satan denies this. Matthew 4:3 Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” Matthew 4:6 and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God...

Then there is no reason for the gospel, the church, or Christianity. Romans 10:14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?

Your lack of understanding doesn't make you correct. Maybe you're just blind. 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown...

There's no way to get to know the Lord without the Bible, even the gospel is scripture. “For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower And bread to the eater, 11 So shall My...

The New Testament is teaching that places the Old Testament in "proper perspective ", that of its source of inspiration, the Holy Spirit. The gospels reveal Christ by His works and words, the Revelation reveals Christ in His purposes through history, Hebrews reveals Christ to those under the law...

Jesus said plainly that sanctification is through the word of God. We are sanctified and grow in grace by abiding in His word. However, men frequently justify rebellion and sin through personal revelations as have every cult leader that has ever drawn breath.

Moral codes and laws are far older than the written scriptures. The Heavenly host doesn't consist of just angels, but of rulers, powers, principalities, all with God appointed responsibilities in governing an unregenerate mankind under the dominion of sin. Israel isn't the only nation that...

I never thought that the Pope "fit" the description, but I can't see any priesthood or priestly "class" as a faithful expression of Christianity.

Which temple did Herod the great build because it obviously wasn't the first or the second? 24 God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. 25 Nor is He worshiped with men’s hands, as though He needed anything...

24 “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. 25 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your...

Thanks for conceding my point. Every religion believes that they've received truth from God, but His word is the only sure word of prophecy and Revelation of His person.

Everybody loves a warm fuzzy god, but One who disciplines, corrects, punishes, and protects, not so much. "He's making a list, and checking it twice. Gonna' find out who's naughty or nice," the liberals' god is coming to town.

People struggle with the concept of one God manifest in three persons, but creation gives us illustrations that help and some are a bit more helpful than a "three leaf clover." The concept of "element" is older than modern Chemistry, but the idea that material things are composed of elementary...

The "trinity" is One God manifest in three persons, not three persons manifest in One God. The first is called monotheism, the latter is pluralism. Jesus Christ is the body of God upon the Earth, the Holy Spirit is the mind of God upon the Earth, and the Father is the invisible immortal God...

"The great commission " is to make disciples of men. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Matthew 28:19 This is the risen Christ's instructions to His disciples. The Church is supposed to be disciples...

OK, so how do you know the Lord's commandments without reading and believing His word?

The death penalty was established by God immediately after the flood. If you read the account of the flood in Genesis, you'll find that God condemned the world for "violence." After the flood God established His covenant with Noah and required blood for blood as His form of justice. 5 Surely...

This is good. I also find that God's language is consistent even though speaking through multiple individuals. For example the Messiah is called a shoot out of Jesse and a branch out of David by Isaiah. The same imagery of tree growth is used for families and nations, but the Lord speaks to the...

And how do you learn this "discernment " without knowing or believing His written word? Psychics hear familiar spirits. How do you know that you're not hearing a deceiving spirit rather than the Lord? Deceiving spirits offer "counsel" too. That's why people consult psychics.

If you're hearing a voice speaking back when you pray, it might be the Lord, but how would you even know if you're not at least familiar with what He's said in His written word. The Lord primarily speaks through scripture whether while reading or as recalled and applied to life. Direct...
