    The churches are in dire need of understanding this!

    I am sorry you feel that way. You really do not understand what I meant. I believe what I post and what I strive to live. My life is Jesus and God. I never would purposely lie to you about the things of God. A negative faith as I see it is a faith in God's lack of ability to accomplish what He...

    Hello

    Well welcome to the forum in any case. I guess I am too old and the wrong gender to be a friend. Fortunately, my wife is not so particular.

    WHAT Is the Trinity?

    I believe God has defined it clearly as He wanted to in the inspired writings of scripture. The difficulty in laying in out in terminology easily understood by anyone may have to do with two things. The first is that not everyone is supposed to be able to understand God's meanings because He...

    WHAT Is the Trinity?

    Time is always a problem because what is it to God anyway if for Him there really in no time? Some believers insist that God is limited by time, while other insist that time itself is one of God creations. While I can easily believe that Jesus created first in order to then do the rest of...

    WHAT Is the Trinity?

    My point was that if early believers who wrote the epistles in the NT were aware of a Trinity and believed in it as it is usually defined, why would they not include the Holy Spirit along with the Father and the Son in each greeting? This is not proof but an indication that the Holy Spirit was...

    WHAT Is the Trinity?

    Actually, while not a student of the Greek, my Strong's and my Vine's Expository Dictionary show the same verb form, begotten [#1085], is used with regard to a human bearing children. Another form of the same verb, begat [#1080] is used for example in Matthew chapter 1 to describe the human...

    WHAT Is the Trinity?

    No intentional lies of which I am aware were told. This doesn't mean they were right. It's hard for me to explain fairly since I know long subscribe to it. One explanation I heard from another person was that the Oneness belief was simply the flip side of the Trinity belief. That is, the...

    The churches are in dire need of understanding this!

    Indeed! In addition to forgiving our sins, Jesus provided a Way for us to overcome our sinful nature. But... we have to make the decision for each time we need to overcome something and God will through the Holy Ghost provide the power for us to do it.

    Carry on my friend with your negative faith. If we believe something is impossible for God then He will not disappoint us.

    Jesus is a human being but not the one true God

    I am sorry you don't understand. I will pray that God will let you see, but if you close your heart, not even God will break through the barrier you raise up...

    Yes!!! God does draw all to Him as HE is unwilling that any perish

    God is not unfaithful. People effectively get what they ask for. The children of Israel wanted a king to be over them like the heathen around them had kings. God warned them against it through the prophet, Samuel. They insisted and God gave them what they wanted to their regret. God is not...

    The churches are in dire need of understanding this!

    But Jesus did believe we could, not by our own selves, but by the power of God in us: "And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible." Mark 10:27 And Zechariah says it here: "...Not by might, nor by power, but by my...

    The churches are in dire need of understanding this!

    You did not carefully read what I wrote. When it is you or me or someone else saying to others,'I am without sin' that what John was talking about. A real overcome will have no need of announcing what he has done. To those with eyes to see it will be apparent. But, consider that Jesus was...

    Jesus is a human being but not the one true God

    I don't know about ScotA. I was not alerted to anything there. Most of the time I try to not point a finger, but sometimes God is in it. I cannot change anyone my friend. Only God can do that, but I can issue a warning when prompted to do so... "Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts...

    The churches are in dire need of understanding this!

    I did not speak it for myself. When a person toots his own horn, then the "pride of life" will sneak into and take away what he had. However, to deny the possibility is to deny Jesus: "And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are...

    WHAT Is the Trinity?

    I am blessed, but I won't be around much tomorrow until late as I have a fellowship meeting to attend out of town.

    Except for those who have already overcome as Jesus overcame. Every has sinned, but Jesus did not come for nothing. There have been some overcomers and likely will be some more before the final curtain is dropped.

    WHAT Is the Trinity?

    Thank you for your efforts, but we are still not really communicating. Give God the glory! By the way, This thread is supposed to be on the trinity.

    Jesus is a human being but not the one true God

    Sometime, hopefully soon, you will reach deep into your own heart and search for God. If you do you may find Him. If you don't you are likely to find nothing at all. Start with God, but seek also man: "If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his...

    WHAT Is the Trinity?

    We really do not seem to be communicating my friend. I glad that you "want" me to study, but from study the answers do not come, but from the eating his flesh and drinking his blood: "And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a...
