    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    I'm not here to discuss a word.... a literal word. I'm here to discuss theology and apologetics. If you think I'm dishonest you should stop posting to me. I tend not to post to dishonest persons.

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Monogenes (μονογενής) is a Greek word meaning "only one of its kind," "unique," or "single-born," often used in religious texts for Jesus, denoting him as God's unique Son, but also for figures like Isaac as a special, covenant-chosen child, highlighting uniqueness within a relationship rather...

    Who really created the Son of God?

    Nothing wrong with the church. Jesus said: Matthew 16:18 18 And I also say to you that you are [a]Peter, and upon this [b]rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. Jesus meant to build His church... The problem is that some 200 years ago some decided to...

    @Lambano 2 of 3 Irenaeus of Lyons (AD 130-202) was bishop of Lugdunum in Gaul, which is now Lyons, France. Irenaeus was born in Smyrna in Asia Minor, where he studied under bishop Polycarp, who in turn had been a disciple of John the Apostle. Clement of Alexandria (AD 150-215) was...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    The original Christians believed Jesus to be God. Maybe if I post it enough times, some will come to believe that what started to be taught a couple of hundred years ago is a heresy (not orthodox Christianity). Here is what the original Christians believed: Polycarp (AD 69-155) was the...

    Why the great chain?

    Is this a trick question? Are you really serious?

    Why the great chain?

    Yes. I do believe that CHAIN OF EVENTS was msot certainly an expression used back in the day.

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    HOW is begotten applied to Jesus? AGAIN John 1:1 THE WORD WAS WITH GOD. John 1:14 THE WORD BECAME FLESH. Something that was WITH GOD AND WAS GOD was with God and was God. Simple. Is your leg with you? Is it a part of you? Was it always with you or was it created at some point? What do...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Since you will not clarify your belief system...it IS difficult to speak to you regarding it. You SEEM to be a universalist. Maybe. Just want everyone reading along to know that we get JUDGED at the time of our death. If universalism is correct JUDGEMENT IS NOT NECESSARY since we will all be...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    I don't come on here to teach Beebster. If YOU do that's fine. Not like you'll be teaching anyone. You see, in order to teach someone...a higher authority than yourself has to give you the authority to teach. You might remember Matthew 28:19 Yeah. Strange ain't it? Jesus said we are to be...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Looks like I'm 100% right. I said God's word creates. And YOU posted Genesis 1:3 LET THERE BE LIGHT AND THERE WAS LIGHT. Thanks!

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    You are trusting MEN to believe in Jesus. Think it over. Were the Apostles men? The Apostles had no clue? Peter had no clue. Thomas had no clue. Looks like we're not in very good hands. Maybe they weren't inspired? They didn't know things... they misunderstood Jesus. Wow.

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    You may believe what you wish. I don't like to spend a lot of time on "words". The ORIGINAL word used was LOGOS. It had to be changed to English. Thus: WORD Really? Oh my.

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    No, that is not the reason. God's Word can create anything. I believe we're discussing God here. Our words. Which are JUST WORDS.

    Who really created the Son of God?

    Right. Yahweh is God. Jehovah (an incorrect name) is still God. LORD is God Lord is God Adonai is God. Almighty is God Father is God It's all the same God GH.

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    If you "come forth" from something... you were always a part of that something. No beginning. Anyway, in biblical language BEGOTTEN means unique, one of a kind. But see what it means in a dictionary: : brought into existence by or as if by a parent Which is why I dislike this word and why I...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Yes sir. But non-Christians do not believe the New Testament. They prefer to believe their HUMAN teachers... those that do not teach Christianity.

    Who really created the Son of God?

    Yahweh is still in the Old Testament: Exodus 64:6-7 6 Then Yahweh passed by in front of him and called out, “Yahweh, Yahweh God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and [a]truth; Isaiah 43:10 “You are My witnesses,” declares Yahweh, “And My servant whom...
