'And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book: But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through His name.' (John 20:30-31) Hello there, @Dave L...

Poisonous insinuation again.

Hello @Dave L, They may have been God fearing men, who acted in accordance with what you have said, but they are still MEN, and fallible. The Word of God is written by inspiration of God, and is therefore to be our yardstick by which we judge the words of man written concerning it, and not the...

' ... Wherefore when He cometh into the world, He saith, "Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:... "' (Hebrews 10:5/Psalm 40:6,7) Hello @justbyfaith, I am more and more convinced that only God's Word itself can be trusted to explain itself: that our own...

@Dave L, This has degenerated into sheer childish oneupmanship ! It should not be a matter of 'winnning' or 'losing', but of mutual edification: and if you have to denegrate your opponent in order to do so then there is something very wrong. In Christ Jesus Chris

With respect, Dave L, our conclusions are of no account: for we can be wrong in our conclusions. The Word of God alone is true. In Christ Jesus Chris

'Jesus cried and said, "He that believeth on me, .. believeth not on me, .... but on Him that sent me. And he that seeth me .. seeth Him that sent me. .... I am come a light into the world, ...... that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. And if any man hear my words, and...

How dare you say that I am constructing an idol! I suggest that you actually read what I say, and refrain from making poisonous insinuations. In Christ Jesus My Saviour, Lord and Head. Chris

'To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.' (2 Corinthians 5:19) Hello Dave, As with all of man's thinking it is delivered with an iron fist. God, was in Christ...

Hi there, Leaving the word, Trinity, aside. I agree that both 'Father', 'Son', and 'Holy Spirit' are fully God, that is the testimony of Scripture. In Christ Jesus Chris

But Dave, the Biblical defition of Christ is what is true: not the one of man's devising to express the Godhead = 'Trinity'. Let the Bible speak for itself, and there is no problem. God is, 'The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ'. Praise His Holy Name! In Christ Jesus Chris

That is absurd!

Hello Dave, What other religions do is of no consequence. We are not called upon to define God, for He has done it for Himself, in His Word. Man has added the word, 'Trinity'. It is that word that causes division, so don't use it. We worship' The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ", by...

Hello there, God has sought to make Himself known to us, and has chosen to use human terminology in order to enable our finite minds to understand One who is infinite. God is both Father, Son and Holy Spirit, so man has encompassed these three manifestations of God in the word, 'Trinity'...

Hello @justbyfaith, I can only quote the exhortation of Paul to Timothy in 2 Timothy 2:- 'Of these things put them in remembrance, .. charging them before the Lord .... that they strive not about words to no profit, ...... but to the subverting of the hearers. Study to shew thyself approved...

justbyfaith, #45: - Methinks you presume too much my friend. How thankful I am that the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ is a righteous judge. In Christ Jesus our risen and glorified Saviour, Lord and Head. Chris

Hello there, This subject is divisive, and totally unnecessary. For the word 'trinity' is not found in Scripture, however the operation of God in and through the relation of Father, the Lord Jesus Christ His Son, and the Holy Spirit, are indisputable. God knows our feeble frame, and He has...

Hello @Marymog, Forgive me please, if my response #5 gave the impression I was tossing you aside, for that is not the case. I read each of the posts prior to my response, and took in what was said, but chose not to answer them directly: seeking rather to establish what 'eating' 'drinking'...

Hello @Marymog, Forgive me, for I did not wish my response to you to be perceived as a censure upon you personally, I just became aware of the possibility of conflict and sort to prevent it. Thank you. With love in Christ Jesus our risen and glorified Saviour, Lord and Head. Chris

With respect, @Marymog, This thread concerns the Lord's supper: so I hope we can avoid it becoming polarised into a protestant/catholic debate, for we are participating as individuals, whose purpose is to ensure that we are pleasing God, not as representatives of corporate bodies. However, I...
