    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Man was made in the image of God. Does this mean that we are like Jesus? Can we heal persons? Forgive their sins? Does being made in the image of God mean that we have the nature of God?

    Who really created the Son of God?

    Am I speaking to a Christian person? Then why are we debating the essence/nature/substance of Jesus? Jesus had two natures....a human nature and a divine nature. This was esblished in Christian theology and is not debatable. See Hidden, some things about Christianity CANNOT be debated. Why do...

    Who really created the Son of God?

    The NT does not teach that we will be creating. Man can MAKE things but, in theology, only God can create....which means to make something where nothing existed before. Also, we can wonder many things since our brain is always working. But we have to be careful not to go beyond what God has...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Here's the problem Trevor.... You claim to be Christian but do not adhere to Christian beliefs. You can believe what you want to about Jesus BUT You cannot change the nature of Jesus and the teachings of the gospel and still claim to be Christian. Jesus said: John 8:24 24 I told you that you...

    Who really created the Son of God?

    Must leave after this, but please reply for tomorrow. Agreed. Jesus had two natures: Human/Divine It's called the hypostatic union...this was an attempt by the early church to explain this "person" Jesus who seemed to be both human and divine. BTW,,,The Savior also had to be God to bridge the...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    LOL No. It's using Psalm 2 to SUPPORT the fact that Jesus is God. Does the writer of Psalm believe that Jesus is God? See. It's the other way around. The doctrine comes first... it is PROVEN by OT poetic scripture.

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Then you believe that the 2nd Person of the Trinity was created. That is not a Christian belief. Who was Jesus anyway? Was He just a man? Did He come into existance at His birth as Jesus? Then WHAT became flesh in John 1:14 which is referring to John 1:1? John 1:1, 14 1 In the beginning was...

    Acts 20:28-30 28 Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God,[a] which he bought with his own blood.[b] 29 I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. 30 Even...

    Who really created the Son of God?

    If Jesus existed in the mind and purpose (Logos) of God from the "beginning".... didn't the 2nd Person of the Trinity always exist? (as the Logos in John 1:1) Isn't the reconciling done?

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    If you POST the scriptures you've MENTIONED, I'll be very happy to reply to them. Unfortunately, I don't have the NT memorized. I do believe I agree with that. But do you agree that the 2nd Person of the Trinity existed BEFORE that Person was generated in the way you describe? That's when the...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Since you like to keep your belief system, which is most probably not biblical, a mystery.... This ends our conversation.

    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...
