The Trinity Doctrine is an unnecessary stumbling block

In scripture we never read about people preaching the Trinity or insisting that people believe it in order to have true faith in God.

Over the centuries many Christians have diverged and insisted that people believe in the Trinity as the foundation of true faith in God. While this belief indeed is the Roman Catholic Faith, Christians should never make this doctrine a requirement as it only proves to alienate people from the way.

In scripture we are told that stumbling blocks are inevitable, but woe to the them that lay them. Think about it, if you insist on this doctrine and it keeps a person from receiving the son of God, then you have contributed to blocking the way of salvation to that person.

We should be wise and stick to teaching what is written. God sent his son into the world to save men. He died for our sins, rose from the dead, and is seated at the right-hand of God and interceding for us. This is written.

Keep it simple. Simplicity in Christ. He is the son of the living God, the messiah, and the one whom God made Lord. There is no point in insisting on things that are not written, especially if they become the deal breaker from them receiving the son of God.

    Hi Andrew,

    Rev 18

    So will Babylon, the great city,be thrown down with violence, and will not be found any longer.

    And the sound of harpists and musicians and flute players and trumpeters will not be heard you any longer;

    and no craftsmen of any craft will be found in you any longer;

    and the sound of a mill will not be heard in you any longer;

    and the light of a lamp will not shine in you any longer;

    and the voice of the bridegroom and bride will not be heard in you any longer…

    Hello Nick,

    Are you saying Jesus was the only man on this earth that only had a pure connection with the spirit?

    Personally, I do not have to attain an unachievable goal of becoming god like.

    I am satisfied with being created from stars, planets, moons. Not so bottled necked in my genetics.

    I am also quite in form with knowing the spirit of truth was not contained to just a fleeting moment of time. With the uplifting knowledge that the shedding of blood is not my baseline to bring me to the light of truth as some forms of religion believe. Especially the ones that use bloodshed of humanity or genocide for the gods.

    @Nick,

    Such doom and gloom. What is it that uplifts your heart that you give praise and prayer for having this in your life.

    Do you plan on changing body type after you die and go on to everlasting life? Specifically, you have an earthly body now, are you hoping to have a heavenly body someday which is different than the one you have now? If so, how will it be different?

    Hi Princess,

    Yes God hates the whore of Babylon and the warnings for those in her are stark.

    it is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

     

    But the message of the world is much more comforting.

    LU…The only difference is that body will be a Body that can LIVE FOREVER, JUST AS JESUS’ ” body” now is. DO you belive you will be a spirit that drifts around in “arid” OR DRY places looking for a “body” to find rest IN ? THE WORD “HEAVENLY BODY”, SIMPLY APPLIES TO A BODY MADE BY GOD HIMSELF, like ADAMS AND EVE’S WERE, THEY COULD HAVE LIVED FOREVER WITH THOSE BODIES, ACCORDING TO GOD. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT THAT BODY WAS LIKE, GO READ THE VALLEY OF DRY BONES IN SCRIPTURES, EZK 37:1-14

    SPIRITS are not bodies, they want and desire to live in bodies. 2Cor 5:1 ..For we know that if our earthely house of this tabernacle (body) were desolved, we have a building of GOD, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens . For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon “WITH” our house (body) which is from heaven: if so be that being cloth we shall not be found naked. 4, For we that are in this tabernacle (body) do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but cloth upon that which goes over a “body”, why? that mortality might be swallowed up of life. GET IT, It’s ABOUT BEING CHANGED FROM MORTALITY TO IMMORTALITY, NOT EXISTING WITHOUT A BODY, BUT Existing with an immortal “body” given from GOD THE FATHER, A HEAVENLY BODY, A BODY NOT RECIEVED BY INTERCOURSE BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMEN, BUT DIRECTLY FROM GOD OUR HEAVENLY FATHER, BUT A REAL BODY, NONE THE LESS. IMO

    peace and love to you and yours. ……….gene

    @Lightenup,

    According to Paul the body that is planted is not the body arises. The example of this is Jesus who was planted in a mortal body and arose in an immortal body that bore the marks of his self-sacrifice. All the dead, both the wicked and righteous, will likewise rise from the dead in an immortal body. That body like Jesus’ will be flesh and bone because Scripture cannot be broken.

    What do you mean by “earthly”? It is a term that Scriptures uses to speak of the earth of the present age of decay. The earth of the future age as well and the age of genesis are different. The current world is bound to corrupt but neither the one of the time before the world or the world to come were or will be.

    @Princess,

    Personally, I do not have to attain an [un-achievable] goal of becoming god like.

    That is why Jesus said that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich man to go to heaven.

    All of us are rich humans but what is impossible for a human is possible for God. Have faith and believe.

    “All of us are rich humans”- that’s quite debatable ,and Jesus preached the good news to the poor so no they were not rich in this life.My belief is they had to eat un-kosher foods and couldn’t afford the sacrifices of the temple.That’s why what Jesus preached was good news to them.

    No it’s not Kerwin. that sentence reflected you can’t buy your way in to heaven, hence coined the phrase ‘you cannot take it with you’.

    It is impossible for a camel to go through an eye of a needle.

    Why take the words and add to them?

    Hi Princess,

    Hi Nick,

    Yes God hates the whore of Babylon and the warnings for those in her are stark.

    yes it is, I believe it all started with the book she wrote.

    it is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

    ah….your not very positive person are you Nick?

    But the message of the world is much more comforting.

    but you can be sarcastic…….

    Being rich can have multiple meanings Andrew, currency is one. Being rich in the spirit is another, being rich with blessings, being rich in loving and being loved. Some of us are rich beyond compare but couldn’t lend you a dollar. Chin up Andrew!

    I have not studied the daily lives during that time. So I wouldn’t know if that was true or not. Perhaps you could share how you come to the conclusion.

    Hi princess,

    Should we only offer what ears like?

    It is not about us but about what is written.

    Princess,

    What was Jesus point in the verse about the rich not obtaining heaven? could one be spiritually rich yet not not obtain it?

    Oh no Nick not at all.

    However……even Jesus took a break and shared the nicer things in life.

    and yes it is all about us because it was given to us.

    Are you rich princess? I suppose or perceive you share a “house” with Mia and LU?  perhaps a rich trinity if you will?

    Hi LU!

    The Spirit of the Son is the Holy Spirit shared with the Father.

    God is Spirit.

    The Word was God.

    LU was preaching this when you were preaching something else Nick.

    When you changed your mind and adopted Lu’s view (with or without her influence), does that mean you were wrong before and LU was right?

    I don’t want for anything Andrew.

    Oh LU and I have never shared the same house.

    I do know that temple dogs are still needed, you interested?

    Just you let me know, by my understand you can make all the riches your heart desires.

    Oh and just what is a temple dog? I don’t recall that from the bible,and just why should it apply to me?

    So you,Mia, and LU don’t share the same human body? can you swear that before Yahweh? just wondering.

    #816555

    And so getting back to my former question, was Jesus referring to the spiritually rich when he said the rich can’t obtain heaven? is that a question a temple dog might ask?
