    Really? So what is the word for IT in Italian as referring to an inanimate object?

    This is true. There is only one God. There is no one else like HIm.

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    God describes a type of being. A title would be: EL SHADDAI - GOD IS ALMIGHTY ADONAI - MASTER JEHOVAH-JIRA - THE LORD WILL PROVIDE and many more.

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Oh. I see, you're saying Jesus is in unity with God? I would agree...there is only one will between God Father and God Son. They agree on everything. John 5:18-19 18 For this reason therefore the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Yes,,,Yahweh did create the world... through Jesus. John 1:3 3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing * came into being that has come into being. Colossians 1:16 16 For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether...

    I never stated that God is a name. God is a NATURE,,,an ESSENCE. God is a WHAT... NOT a who.

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Jesus saw God..... Have WE seen God? John 1:18 18 No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, The Son is in the bossom of the Father. Hebrews 1:3 3He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, Do WE have the exact...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Jesus was ALWAYS the 2nd Person of the Trinity. John 1:1 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:14 14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, The WORD was God... The WORD became flesh... God became flesh...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Not interested in what SOME CLAIM. To be defined as Christian... a person MUST believe that Jesus is God. CHRSITian...it's in the name. Stating one is Christian and not believing Jesus is God... is like one stating he's married, but has no wife. It is a major tenet of the Christian faith.

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    The problem here is that you do NOT believe that Jesus is God. If you did...you'd have to explain HOW Jesus is God. Happily for we Christians, the early church took the time to explain this via a concept that is found in scripture and was confirmed by the Apostles and those they taught. @JLB...

    Revelation 3:21 21 'He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.

    Such patience. I admire you.

    How did the Trinity doctrine develop in the early church?

    I'll try to remember to look those references up one fine day. No, i'm a rather ignorant person... I only speak English, Italian, Spanish and possibly, according to some, a 4th language. And you will NOT be learning Greek by using Strongs. Oh,,but I've already confessed to being ignorant...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Yeshua is not a God. Yeshua is God. The Apostles knew that He is God. This is the title they gave him and that they passed on to those they taught. Ignatius of Antioch learned from both John and Peter. Ignatius (AD 50-117) was the bishop at the church in Antioch and also a disciple of John...

    How did the Trinity doctrine develop in the early church?

    Yes it can...just like verses can be twisted. Koine Greek has complex rules? EVERY language has rules... but even better than rules is just knowing how to speak a language. For instance, let's take the following: John 15:2 2 "Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; What...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Exactly. John 8:58 is referring specifically to Exodus 3:14 which is why the Jews wanted to stone Jesus.... I AM meant that He was declaring to be God. Ditto for Matthew 26:63-66 63 But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest said to Him, "I adjure You by the living God, that You tell us whether...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Except that it's NOT a man-made doctrine. Thomas: MY LORD AND MY GOD. Did Jesus correct him or did Jesus accept the title? Paul called Jesus OUR GREAT GOD AND SAVIOR. The Apostles believed Jesus to be God. Those they taught believed Jesus to be God. Christendom always has believed Jesus to...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    It is not necessary for the NT to be written in the manner YOU would like. It is written the way it is and from the NT teaching, Jesus IS GOD. Also, no one on this thread is stating that a person is not saved unless they understand the Trinity. Le't s get the pony off the one track. This...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Maybe not in the Greek language. I'm speaking about Exodus 3:14 Written in the Hebrew.... translated to Greek as I AM. In the Greek it's an ongoing tense.... I WAS I AM I WILL BE I AM a condition of permanance. Hebrew: 1. to exist 2. to be or become 3. to come into being, i.e. to happen, to...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    No sir...it does NOT mean I AM HERE FOR YOU. I THINK Jesus knew the OT. Jesus knew what He was stating when He said I AM. God Yahweh called Himself the I AM. Exodus 3:14 Jesus called Himself I AM. John 8:58 And so, the Jews wanted to stone Jesus for declaring that He was God.
