-The Bible doesn't say the holy spirit is God.–The Bible gives no indication that the holy spirt was worshiped.–The Jews and the Hebrew Scriptures give no hint even that the holy spirit is a person, much less that it is worshiped as God. (They viewed God’s spirit as something God possesses.)–The holy spirit is never portrayed as a person, s…[Read more]

So, have you two worked it out yet? This is what troubles me: It seems there are so many different schools of thought, as to what the trinity is. Anyway,Jesus himself credited God with the creation, as do all the Scriptures.—Mt 19:4-6The power for creation came from God through his holy spirit. (Ge 1:2; Ps 33:6) Since Jehovah is the Source of a…[Read more]

Quote It is interesting how it took a couple hundred years for men to believe that God has multiple personalities. Yes, it is interesting, isn't it. I have an idea: Let's bury that thought in the sand and forget it exists. Apparently, immediately after the apostles died off, there was a complete flip in thinking and the “church fathers” as they…[Read more]

Quote BTW Dave, this thread was called “question (singular) to the trinitarians”, it doesn't give you license to cross examine the trinitarians 'till the cows come home'….thats a “newsie” phrase, I think….I know. I'm just having fun and I'm sleepy, as I've said.

Quote Is the builder of the building also the creator? yesI'm not sure about that.It is because of God's will that they existed and were created. (Rev 4:11)If Solomon's temple is built by workers, are they considered the creators?They are the builders. The creator would be solomon. Quote Truth or Tradition? » Question to the Trinitarians

Quote DavidIs God a Spirit. Are we to worship him? Is his Holy Spirit part of him?
First, is God a spirit?JOHN 4:24“God is a Spirit, and those worshiping him must worship with spirit and truth.””Yup, scripture seems to say “God is a spirt.” So, ya.And, while I'm not going to go find the scriptures, obvioulsy, yes, we are to “worship him.”Quote Quote DavidII Cor 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord , there liberty.18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.Jn 4:2424 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and…[Read more]david replied to the topic The Holy Spirit, a separate person, essence of God, or force? in the forum Truth or Tradition 19 years, 9 months ago

so, my question:You said:Quote QuoteGod =Father,Son and Holy GhostThen you list scriptures and say:QuoteEither accept them or deny them or ignore them.There is One God! Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
I'm sorry. Which of these scriptures said that God's holy spirit is God?Well?david replied to the topic Question to the Trinitarians in the forum Truth or Tradition 19 years, 9 months ago
