    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    She was speaking about God Father. The Son took on flesh...this is taking on the form of God. It was God that made Jesus using Mary and the Holy Spirit. So are we now saying that Jesus is an idol? Jesus is now a graven image of God? There's enough confusion here Lambano...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    I just wrote to you about this. 1. One verse does not doctrine make. 2. Every single verse has to be understood with every other verse. The fact that it is translated differently should make you stop to think what a person writing 2,000 years ago might have meant by what they said. Some...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    You used an incorrect analogy. You did not set the proper definiton. Analogies do NOT function well when speaking about GOD.

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    I repeat: @Brakelite is absolutely correct in his interpretation of Philippians 2:6 and is accepted by Christian theologians. Please see my post no. 1162. Those that do not believe the most basic belief of Christianity, do not properly understand many verses. It is happening here. The bible...

    False Christs, False Prophets and False Teachers. These are the days we live in.

    Augustine. A manachaen heretic that decided to become Catholic. Bothered by his sinning by fornication that he could not control. Instead of accepting responsibility for his actions, he decided that it might actually be God's fault. Thus the teaching that man does not have a free will and that...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Wow. Just wow. JESUS - do you know who Jesus is?? JESUS said "BAPTIZE IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT". Notice: IN THE NAME singular And then Jesus went on to name THREE PERSONS. Interesting, isn't it? Sounds like the Trinity. And JESUS said to baptize in the name of...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    It's complicated. You don't need to convince ME! I don't even call it a doctrine...it's a tenet. I'm trying to show that there's a difference. Between denominations there could be different doctrine/teachings. But the tenets must be believed in order for that denomination to be defined as...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Trevor, no use going through this again. Of course God is everywhere. But He did come down to earth in the PERSON of the Son. 1 Timothy 3:16 16 Beyond question, great is the mystery of godliness: He who was revealed in the flesh, Was [a]vindicated [b]in the Spirit, Seen by angels...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Right. Jesus said a person cannot love both God and mammon. You love one or you love the other... but to love both is impossible since we're taught to be transformed and not be conformed to the world. Romans 12:1-2 12 Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Learn the Trintiy Warngler. Or stop calling yourself a Christian. Christians understand the Trinity. You don't seem to. Jesus is ONE PERSON. He has TWO NATURES. A HUMAN NAATURE. A DIVINE NATURE. Do I need to post again how the Apostles portrayed Jesus as being BOTH A MAN AND DIVINE? Maybe...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Why is it twisted? There are a few different ways of saying something. Let's check out Hebrews: Hebrews 1:1-3 1 God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, 2 [a]in these last days has spoken to us [b]in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all...

    Not funny GH. While Jesus was ON EARTH HIS FATHER was GREATER than He was.

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    No. It's like this: Our Presdident and sheriff, Trump. Trump is BOTH the President and the sheriff. Plain and simple English and it's the same in the other languages I know.

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Actually @Brakelite is correct about the exegesis of the verse in question. Unfortunately some biblical language is difficult for we Westerners and lay persons. This is why it's good that there are thologians that can actually use hermeneutics to exegete. Here is a translation of the verse that...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Maybe I misunderstood. If so I apologize. However, yes, the CC IS the original church. Unless you could name another denomination that was around at the time. In a letter to Smyrnea, Ignatius of Antioch (my favorite ECF) first used the term CATHOLIC. It meant UNIVERSAL...however the title did...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    @Grailhunter likes to use sarcasm. I do it myself at times. He DOES believe there are two Gods. THAT is the problem.

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    @Justified should stop talking math or philosophy with you. When YOU and I were discussing apples I pointed out that your premise was wrong. I SAID: IF we want t define apples AS BEING RED... then YES, every apple that is not red is not an apple. You never did reply..... Because, as ususal...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    GH You just repeated that while Jesus was on earth, the Father was in heaven! I mean, where else would He be? So you agree with me. Jesus as the 2nd Person of the Trinity was on earth. Father was in heaven. The Son has always been in heaven as Person number 2. See. It works out just as Jesus...

    False Christs, False Prophets and False Teachers. These are the days we live in.

    The last days. Yes. New doctrine never before heard of. Starting around the 1500's maybe? Yes. It's called Reformed theology. THE LAST DAYS certainly were NOT when Jesus was speaking about the last days. But in THESE last days, which they probably are... many new and heretical beliefs abound...
