    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    You didn't answer the question. Did the Holy Spirit become sin? I believe that Isaiah 53:10 has your answer. God is a Spirit.

    The Woman's Water vs Jesus' Water

    You are taking an awful chance. If you are wrong and it is talking about baptism, then you are misleading people into believing that they will be saved when they are not. I think that real baptism in water is an identification with the name of Jesus Christ and His death, burial, and...

    Most certainly, we bear the edible fruit of the Spirit as Christians; and this fruit contains seeds. See Luke 8:11.

    If someone is hungry, and eats and eats and eats food that has been stripped of vitamins to make the vitamin pills, I am certain that they will be full when they have finished eating. They simply will not be as nourished as if they had eaten food that contained all of its natural vitamins.

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    So the Holy Spirit became sin for us? Is this not to say that the Holy Spirit became sin (thus blaspheming the Spirit as being of the nature of sin; other than what He truly is, of the nature of holiness)?

    We cannot do every deed for God... there is always a deed that we haven't done. If someone else does a deed, then we end up coming short. Of course, I'm being facetious.

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    So, in answer to your challenge, I have gone through each one of the creeds line-by-line and expressed my only disagreements. I say to you truly that in every other way, my doctrine lines up with what the creeds profess: my conscience bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost. To @OzSpen.

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    In the Nicene creed, I only take issue with the following statement: 1st, Jesus was begotten in the incarnation; and 2ndly, while technically He can be referred to as God from God, I take issue with the statement inasmuch as it can be misconstrued to mean that Jesus is a separate (rather...

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    I also take issue with this statement: I contend that Jesus was begotten in the incarnation, Luke 1:35; The Father descended to become the Son (Isaiah 9:6), then rose again to fill all things, even ascending to again inhabit eternity (Ephesians 4:10). Whereas he did not vacate eternity when...

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    I do have a singular contention with the Athanasian creed, in this statement: I find that the following verse contradicts it: Rom 1:3, Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; Therefore I contend that according to the flesh, Jesus...

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    It is the responsibility of the Berean to check things by the scriptures. If you are truly a Berean, then you will do this concerning my teaching. I am not going to do your homework for you. Because to do what you require of me would take extensive posting.

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    Hi @101G, I have a question for you (and it is rather loaded). In 2 Corinthians 5:21, it teaches that when Jesus died for us He became sin for us. Did the Holy Ghost die in this fashion? The question is loaded because you are in danger of committing the blasphemy of the Holy Ghost if you...

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    Forgive me my friend...I do not have sudden access to the creeds but I do know that if memory serves me, when I have read them I have found that nothing that I believe in concerning the Trinity is in contradiction to them, in essence. Be a Berean! (see Acts 17:10-11). Test my assertion with...

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    @OzSpen, I'm afraid that you are teaching heresy by what you teach, in the following: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are not separate but distinct, even according to the most accepted creeds. What you don't understand is that my view of the Trinity, in essence, in no way contradicts any of the...

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    No, I do not. Read what I wrote again. What false doctrine? I find it somewhat perturbing, that the carnal/natural mind does not receive the things of the Spirit of God and that there are many who identify the teaching of the Holy Ghost as being false doctrine. I believe that there has to...

    Isa 59:19, So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    @GodsGrace, get right or get left (behind at the coming of the rapture). You have "your" scholars that teach you what you want to hear... well that was prophesied about in 2 Timothy 4:1-5.

    Please explain this.

    This appears to be a common misconception; that we will not be made perfect until the moment we die. But this seems to me to make the goal death, since if we desire to be sanctified to the point that we might no longer be afflicted in our conscience over besetting sins, the only way to be...

    Entire sanctification has to do with taking up your cross daily. It is not the eradication of the element of sin from your mortal flesh; but it is the practical outworking of a consistent holiness that we begin to walk in through self-denial.

    Please explain this.

    Sinless perfection was not the point I was making by it (though the verse does indeed teach entire sanctification). The point I was making was that you must needs suffer only for a while, (until God hath made you perfect), and then you will be established so that you might live a peaceable life...
