Hi ya'll,Phil 2:14-1614 Do all things without grumbling or disputing; 15 so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world, 16 holding fast the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I will have reason to…[Read more]

Hi all,Nothing had come into being until AFTER day 1 except the Light, the heavens and the earth were not completed before day one and hence did not fully come into being. On day one, Light was brought forth. After light was brought forth is when the earth got its name and heaven got its name. Neither had come into being (to completion) till…[Read more]

Quote (Tim Kraft @ April 23 2009,14:51)Does the expression “Trinity” matter? There's fire-flame-& heat, the three are one. We all wear many caps and are complex and have many differing aspects of self/personality.The mission of Jesus was to halt the Religious debachury that man had created to so called get to God. Jesus said turn from the old and…[Read more]

To all,Some on Heaven Net claim to follow the trinity doctrine yet do not completely agree with every statement within it. That would make the doctrine “true-ish” but not completely true. Therefore, a doctrine that is not completely true is a false doctrine. We are not to follow such doctrines.What do others think?LU
