Nick…….real truth carries its own conviction, if God's spirit is in you it will (CONVICT and CONVINCE) YOU of the TRUTH.

Nick…….show us (ONE) Scripture in the new testament, where it says God has left man salvation up to man, or man lives or dies according to (HIS FREE Choices).Doesn't it say ” not by power or by might, but by MY SPIRIT saith the eternal”.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Nov. 13 2008,04:25)Hi WJ, Jesus did not tell you to believe in any trinity. That teaching is not in the bible. So how can you accuse David?Nick……Amen to that statement, Its like the pot calling the Kettle black.
