Here is your stance explained for you to see in case you cannot see it.

1) You believe that John 1:1 is the cornerstone of the reason you believe the Trinity even though it doesn’t itself teach the Trinity.

2) You ignore all other scriptures to the contrary. Even Jesus own words.

3) Where it says the Logos was theos, to you this is…[Read more]

You are not willing to go past John 1:1 because it is all you think you have. And thus all the other clear scriptures are made void. The speck nullifies the plank. And clearly John 1:1 doesn’t teach the Trinity. Besides understanding how the sentence is constructed in Greek with no definite article, the Holy Spirit is also missing. Thus it does…[Read more]

You bring up a lot of points here so I will answer a few of them.

You say it matters if we are born again or not. Well that is true. But when it comes to historical figures, we do not know for sure do we, but that is no reason to shut out what they say. If what they teach is scriptural, then you would do well to listen.

I am sure if we lived…[Read more]

“A truth’s initial commotion is directly proportional to how deeply the lie was believed. It wasn’t the world being round that agitated people, but that the world wasn’t flat. When a well-packaged web of lies has been sold gradually to the masses over generations, the truth will seem utterly preposterous and its speaker a raving lunatic.”
-Dresden James

True that Silvans. For us, there is one God the Father, and one Lord, the Lord Jesus Christ. Of course believing this is not enough. We need to know God and the one whom he made Lord.

David L said:

Old Proverb – “It is better to be slapped with the truth, than kissed with a lie.”

Biblical Proverb.
He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.

Reminds me of this saying:
“There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments, and which cannot…[Read more]

David, you said:

My prayer is that Jesus will reveal Himself to you

If you mean that the son of God, who God made both Lord and Christ will reveal himself to me, then amen, I want to know him more.

If you mean, God the son, the incarnate God, the second member of the Trinity, and the God that died, then I am already aware of this Babylonian…[Read more]

If you agree with your words, then you won’t mind being slapped in the face with this great truth.

1 Corinthians 15:24-28 (English-NIV)
24 Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power.
25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.

“Every word of God is pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him. Add not unto His words, lest He reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.” – Proverbs 30:5,6

Amen.

Jesus said, “This is eternal life, that you may know the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom he has sent”.

Every word that is uttered under the inspi…[Read more]

Good stuff Paul. Keep seeking and never give up. It is a form of worship to dig for the deep truths. It shows that you love the character of God and his son when we seek truth with all our hearts.

Jesus said, “this is eternal life, that you may know the only true God and Jesus Christ whom he has sent.

Be honest David, you do not believe Jesus when he said this.

Deep down you know you reject these words of Jesus.

This is an opportunity to know more about him. Let his words challenge you instead of shooting the messenger. And if t…[Read more]

You said:

The trinity may seem like foolishness to you, but that is only because you are trying to comprehend spiritual things with your natural understanding

It seems hard for you to comprehend, but it is not about spiritual and physical understanding as much as it is about whether it is written or not.

Your quote is in scripture and…[Read more]

David, you say you believe Jesus is God because you believe the bible.

Is that really true though?

Why then do you not believe this?

Jesus said, “this is eternal life, that you may know the only true God and Jesus Christ whom he has sent.

If you cannot answer this, then you need to seek God about it.

I don’t have a problem with John 1:1. I strive to rightly divide the Word of God including John 1:1 and it doesn’t contradict the rest of scripture about there being one God the Father.

It is you who has the problem because this is your excuse for denying the other 1500 scriptures about God being the Father. Based on your view of one verse, the…[Read more]

Better still. Place your 3 scriptures here and we can discuss them at length.

I know you lack understanding regarding John 1:1, but give me 3 other scriptures that you think teach the Trinity. Surely if the Trinity is the foundation of true faith, then you will have no problem giving me the evidence.
 

David. Scripture doesn’t support it. It is that simple. It is not about trying to understand a mystery or accepting it by faith, it is just that it is not taught in scripture.  

David you are welcome to speculate about Satan and say that he is not afraid of the gospel that I preach, but that is your opinion only, unless you are speaking on his behalf.

But no matter how agitated you are or angry you get whether righteous or not, I can promise you this, that one of these days you will come around to acknowledging that…[Read more]

@ paul

The son of Adam is a man right.

And adam is the Hebrew word for man right.

So Adam was adam right.

And Eve was adam right.

Because God made man/adam male and female right.

Therefore Eve is adam, but she is not Adam.

The difference is that one is lower sentence case and the other captilised.

In Greek and Hewbrew…[Read more]

Over the years I have had many thank me for this writing because it reached out to them with the gospel. Others however have condemned me for writing this. I believe that the Pharisees are still alive and kicking and it is no surprise really that all those who reach out with the good news to their generation will be attacked.
