I agree. The church remains holy,,,any church (institution). But humans have ruined every one. I think I may be beginning to believe in non-denominationalism.

Agreed. It's undefinable. I think we shouldn't overstep what we can know of it. A nd maybe we won't have to ask, maybe we'll just know,,,! 1 cor

I agree. Frankly, I don't think this organism could have survived without human, earthly organization. OTOH, I do believe man has done damage to the Body of Christ. Seems like a catch-22. How's this: I both believe the reformation was necessary, and I dislike it, all at the same time.

LOL Bob, let us know how you really feel! :) I agree with you. But... Is the Trinity a deception?

Sorry T You can believe that of course... But it is Not the definition of Trinity. Isn't a faith allowed to define their doctrine?

But some beliefs ARE heretical. What does the word heretical mean? I like the rest of your post...

Hi Theefaith The original church has changed too much and so I don't know how the deposit of faith has been safeguarded. What I find is that every denomination has truth and also error. Do you believe your denomination has no error at all?

How could you be offended by your own beliefs? Stop worrying about what Constantone did or didn't do and look instead to the ECFs that knew the Apostles or those they taught. Trinitarianism was believed soon after the ascension. Councils were held to clarify Christian doctrine and halt...

PS God is shown to be the Father Son a d Holy Spirit. The Trinity explains this. And yes, we are also 3, a trichotomy. But our soul is not the same yet separate and our soul is not the same yet separate,,, God is one in being yet separate in persons. HE is the same yet separate in His being...

Agreed ! OK IOW it is One God that takes on different roles. So, once again I ask you,,,, WHAT was holding up a d sustaining the universe while Jesus was God (your One God that takes on different roles) on earth? What happened when your God died on the cross? Why didn't everything just fall...

Agreed. I believe modalism and Oneness is the same,,,not sure. Also, we can easily fall into heretical language when trying to explain the Trinity/Godhead, which is why I try to be very careful in posting. For instance, in explaining we could say that a man is a son, a father, an uncle. This...

OK Agreed on definition. I ask you this: The organizations you mentioned function BECAUSE they have a head. The Church which is the Body of Christ is a living entity which also functions by following/obeying the Head. I proffer that even this organism requires an organization with a human...

What's the difference between an organism and an organization?

Find out what modalism is. Explain it please. We all believe there is only One God. How does He "become three".?

I understand what you mean about having faith in the powerful name,,,Jesus. He said whatever we ask in His name we will receive. How do you explain when we do not receive? Doesn't this attitude treat God as a santa claus?

With God nothing is impossible. Please explain your understanding of the Trinity. Thanks.

You believe in modalism. A heresy. No wonder you sounded right at times a d wrong at times. I'd day that it's those that come up with heretical writings on these threads that make Christianity look foolish.

Actually Truther... 3 = 1 Did you know that if you understood things of God perfectly, you'd also be God. It's cute how some think they could understand God. We only know what God wants us to know. Nothing more.

And there you have it...: "and these three are one" Three are in the One. What I've been saying to you all along and what is the understanding of traditional/orthodox Christianity. In fact, Jesus is from the beginning...from everlasting. Why do you post perfectly correct verses but then make...

Yes. I understood this. I should start a thread on 1 Cor 3:8-16 I believe it's referring to ministry,,,but many believe it's referring to individual Christians. We'll see...if you care to comment, that would be nice. This comes to mind because you say you teach and Peter (or was it James) said...
