1 | Trinity and Confusion | Acts 2:38 | Savannah | 32612 | ||
Your message is not well received. You know, we're all Christians here. We're supposed to respect and love our brother's and sister's in Christ. I'm tired of getting messages that come from upset people. Treat me with some kindness and understanding please! And don't, I beg you, read into things that are not written. I did not say that the scriptures were opposite. Nor do I become hysterical in my fierce opposition. I don't have a FIERCE opposition. I prefer KJV because I do find differences. That's my opinion, and I'm entitled to it. This message was sent in response to discuss the differences in translation between 2 Bibles. So yes I needed to ask the writer to explore a different reading. And one more thing I don't need to rely on 1 scripture to support my doctinal beliefs. |

Good point Hank, Someday hopfully in the near future I will. It will take a great deal of time to write it so bear with me. I feel a little frustrated. Everything I seem to write gets so misconstrewed. I think part of it is not having explained in detail where I stand and second of all I use the KJV. Scripture does get turned around in other books. Thanks for the tip! Savannah |

4 | I'm not sure what you are trying to ask | Col 3:17 | Savannah | 32477 | ||
Ric, I guess the problem is this. I use the KJV and your using NASB. Amazing how 1 or 2 words changes the whole meaning of a scripture. That's why I stick to KJV. Please be carefull. Savannah |

Brian, It is posible Brian that my message sounds way out there by the time you got to it. But when you come into the middle of a conversation, things can me misunderstood. I can hardly reply to your message. There isn't a shred of truth to it. Just to assure you Brian I do not measure up to anything you have said about me. (( First, you are stating that if you don't possess a full understanding of Gods actions or plans - then you will not accept or believe in God. In effect, you are saying that you are demanding to be Gods equal, not His lesser.)) What you are responding to here is what someone else quoted to me!!!!!!!! These were in no way my words. I do not believe there are 3 gods. Thats redicolous. Sorry to have wasted your time. Peace and Joy, Savannah |

6 | Trinity and Confusion | Acts 2:38 | Savannah | 31774 | ||
Hank, Man, you'r picky just like my husband can be. It was a casual statement. Someone explained in detail to me, the Council of Nicea etc... I was just trying to avoid receiving yet another explanation of the Trinity. I, in no means am trying to promote myself as all knowing. We all know there's only One who can claim that. Excuse me for my non humbleness, if you perceived it that way. Yes I understand what believe means! Again, I think you'r being a little picky. What other assumption might you make if someone told you that they didn't beleive in something. Maybe you can help me out with better word usage. I believe that God was manifest in the flesh and in the Spirit. Do I believe I will see 3 thrones when I get to heaven, no. In Rev. Jesus comes out from the center of the throne. I believe that most trinitarians and I can agree on alot of things, I am concerned however, for the weak of faith. My family, for example think they are going to be greeted by all Three (as in separate people) they want to know who they should fall at the feet of. It is a legitimate concern. Savannah |

8 | In Jesus' name...except baptism? | Col 3:17 | Savannah | 31768 | ||
Where does it say be baptised in the trinity? I know, I know Mat 28.etc... You wrote... A truely saved person in Christ will want to obey Jesus' commands. And if they don't? John 3:3 you must be born again to enter into the Kingdom of God., John 3:5 You must be born of the water and of the spirit to enter into the Kingdom of God. John 3:7 Marvel not that I say these things to you, you must be born again. I will confirm that Jesus commanded us. What about the Kingdom part of this scripture. It sounds like Jesus said we wouldn't go to Heaven unless we do these things. Do you know any other Kingdom? Could this scripture lead us to other scriptures that support salvation? Savannah |

9 | Jesus' name baptism? | Acts 2:38 | Savannah | 31735 | ||
Joe, Sorry, I wasn't confused before but I am now. What is a cosmic ventriloquist? Yes your right, and I, like other oneness believers, also believe God revealed himself through different manifestations. Now, do I believe that God is three seperate persons. No. That is what I don't like. You wrote...His best to confuse human beings human beings to believe that He exists in three Persons when there is only one.(?) Savannah |

10 | Trinity and Confusion | Acts 2:38 | Savannah | 31730 | ||
Makarios, You wrote...Therefore, a person cannot argue against the truth of the doctrine of the Trinity by saying that it is "confusing". I didn't say I was confused by it. But I know many who are. I grew up Catholic, I know all about the Trinity. You wrote... "Does the fact that God is not a God of confusion (1 Cor. 14:33) prove that the doctrine of the Trinity cannot be true, since this doctrine is hard to understand?... You told me this is an absurd suggestion. It isn't my suggestion! I think you misunderstood me. Just because I think the Trinity teaches confusion doesn't mean that I am against God's doctrine that explains confusion and understanding. If I was I would have a very difficult time reading the Bible. I'm sorry you wasted your time explaining the whole confusion thing. Look, I don't believe in the trinity. My reasons for not believing it are not soley because it teaches confusion. God Bless You, Savannah |

11 | Jesus' name baptism? | Acts 2:38 | Savannah | 31586 | ||
Emmaus, Thanks for reciting the council of Nicia. No not all Christians are Trinitarian. This note you left me is precisely why I don't like the Trinity. It causes confusion. We both believe in one God. Acts 8:14 I believe this supports me not you. In Mathew 28 Jesus has taken the Apostles aside and councils them on baptism. Baptise in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. The Apostle then go out and baptise in the name of Jesus. Were they confused? Did they disobey? Jesus wants all things to be done in His name including baptism of the water and of the Holy Spirit. What about in Revalations when God mentions His father. Or should I say again that the time the Bible was written the people spoke very formaly, they spoke in repatition. My other example of name of the Father etc.. I believe the scripture I'm talking about is in Rev 1 or 2. Savannah |

12 | Does Jesus' name satisfy Matt 28:19? | Acts 2:38 | Savannah | 30909 | ||
Dear Charis, The very scripture you quote disagrees with what you say. first of all the Ephesians were saved in the book of Acts as were many of the Churches in the Epistles. For by grace you have been saved, meaning that God gave them the opportunity to be saved. Have been saved, reflects that they literally have been saved as I mentioned they were saved in the book of Acts. Through faith, means through their belief which led them to salvation. Not of yourselves, simply means not without God. I don't know why believers think that baptism and repentance etc. are works. If they are considered works so is belief. John 3:3,5,7 Jesus says we must be born again, born of the water and of the spirit to enter into the kingdom of God, marvel not that I say these things to you, you must be born again. Charis, does the Bible contradict itself? There are so many others I could quote, but I won't. Also I agree with you that there isn't an automatic infilling of the Holy Spirit when you are baptised. Just as I don't think scripture supports the belief that all believers have the Holy Spirit. In Rev. it says that we will be lifted by our spirit in the rapture. Any thoughts on this. And I agree with your statement about showy manifestations. I believe its either 1st or 2nd Chor. chpt. 14 that says when new people come into a church and they witness a number of the congragation speaking in tongues, they might think that they are mad. Are job is to witness, but witness with common sence! I'm not saying that tongues in church is wrong. It absolutely is not. However we that are spirit filled are not to speak in tongues just to edify ourselves. I've never heard of a church requiring tongues for membership. Thank you for getting me to think this morning. God Bless you Savannah |

In your 8th point you mention added to them. This statement refers to Salvation. 120 were just saved and the crowd that questioned what was happening up there were converted and were like wise spirit filled and they also were saved. I can't agree that your point supports adding to the church. |
