Wrong, what is taught can be error. Or perhaps you meant to say “what is taught IN THE SCRIPTURE is what is true”…?However, for smart people and for old people what is taught is true, as long as its biblical, scriptural, and the trinity is in fact taught. It doesn't matter if someone is a “dummy”, doesn't matter if they are young, old, smart, or…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Sep. 01 2008,08:30)Hi E, You say”I believe that the Bible is the final and absolute authority in all matters of faith and practice.” I agree.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Sep. 01 2008,06:52)Hi E, If you do choose to believe the bible then teachings such as about a triune god are anathema. Such things are not written there so belief in both the bible and trinity are incompatible.Hji N, as soon as you show me a verse in the bible that specifically and explicitly says “If you do choose to believe…[Read more]

Quote (Lightenup @ Sep. 01 2008,02:52)In the beginning was the word. That does not say that the “word” was eternal, it just says that it was in the beginning. A word has an origin, first it must be a thought. Surely there must be something more than that for those of you who believe that the Son of God always existed especially if you be…[Read more]

In the Scriptures the term “first born” of course can mean the literal first born child in a chronological sense, but it can also be a title of honor… now, we know (or we should know) that the Scriptures do not contradict themselves, right?

The fact is, the B i b l e does mention, explain and teach that God is triune…. the bible does not anywhere specifically state that there would be 66 books and 66 books only, so just getting hung up on the fact that nowhere does the word “trinity” appear in the scriptures is just shallow reasoning, and not only shallow, but arbitrary, since…[Read more]
