shing - Chances are that "your Bible" and "my Bible" share a common bond, because "my Bible" also is decidedly monotheistic from Genesis to Revelation. But it also teaches trinitarianism, or the triunity of God, and from your post I gather that you could use some tutoring on this biblical doctrine. For starters, why not visit the following link: http://www.gotquestions.org/trinitarianism.html .... Now let's look at a passage of Scripture together. Turn to Matthew 3:13-17 -- go ahead, use "your Bible" if you wish -- and you will see Matthew's account of Jesus' baptism. Look at three segments with me, please. I'm using the KJV, but use whatever version you customarily use. (1) "And Jesus, when he was bapized" -- This is God the Son, right? (2) "and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting upon him." -- This is God the Holy Spirit, don't you agree? (3) "And lo a voice from heaven saying, This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased." -- This clearly is God the Father, isn't that true? ..... So here in two verses of Scripture we have one of the clearest manifestations in all of the Bible of the Triunity. THERE CAN BE NO DOUBT that all three Persons of the Trinity are involved here on the occasion of Jesus' baptism. The Son is baptized, the Spirit descends and the Father speaks. ..... Additionally you may wish, as Kalos has pointed out, to avail yourself of a multitude of posts on the Trinity that are in this Forum's archives. And, finally, I'd strongly recommend that you get yourself a good book on systematic theology -- Wayne Grudem's comes readily to mind -- and study it. I've discovered that it is far better and infinitely wiser to avail oneself of the wisdom of saints, who have done an enormous amount of trail blazing, many of them long before I was born, than to fly by the seat of my pants and be forced to reinvent the wheel every day. We see all too prevalently in our time pitiful examples of men and women who have forsaken orthodoxy and in attempting to "reinvent the wheel" on their own, they have created a monster of deception, gutting the church of sound doctrine and replacing it with various brands of "feel good religion." --Hank | ||||||

shing - If what you are telling me is what you really believe, then pray tell me what you're doing on a Bible forum. Three things are emerging from your participation on Study Bible Forum. The first is that it is quite apparent that you feel you don't need us. The second is that it is equally apparent that you don't pay the slighest attention to what your correspondents have been trying to teach you. The third is that you lack sufficient understanding of basic scriptural doctrines to be able to teach others. ...... Therefore, it is highly recommended that you become a reader of the Forum instead of a contributor to it or at all events that you confine your contributions to sincere questions that more knowledgeable members of the Forum very likely will be able to help you with. We have no intention of debating such fundamental doctrines as the Triunity with you or anyone else on this Forum. And we'll condone no more outbursts such as the one you made to humbledbyhisgrace. ..... One final observation: Concerning your inane statement "All I need is the Holy Ghost and His word," this doesn't make sense in light of Jesus' Great Commission or of the numerous references to preachers and teachers throughout the New Testament, chiefly in the Pauline epistles. --Hank | ||||||

It is my experience that the truth either causes a riot or a revival. Who made you my judge? Lord Bless You |
