Subject: Trinity Doctrine? |
Bible Note: Hi, punkiedo! You say that: "Thank God There is someone else here that does not believe in the trinity doctrine." And you also state that: "I am a body, soul, and spirit, but when I sign my checks I don't put body, soul, and spirit. They wouldn't cash it." So when the Trinity (Triune God or whatever the flavor of the day) is represented in the Bible by three distinct Persons of God it just means something like you, yourself and yours? How do you reconcile: Acts 2:38-39; Romans 14:17-18; 1 Corinthians 2:10-16; 1 Corinthians 6:11; 1 Corinthians 12:3; 1 Corinthians 12:4-11; 2 Corinthians 13:13; Galatians 4:4-7; Ephisians 12:17-18; Ephisians 2:19-22; Ephisians 4:3-6; Titus 3:4-7; 1 Peter 1:2 (in the foresight of God the Father, to be made holy by the Spirit, obedient to Jesus Christ and sprinkled with his blood...); 1 Peter 3:18; 1 Peter 4:14; Jude 20-21 (But you, my dear friends, must build yourselves up on the foundation of your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit; keep yourselves within the love of God and wiat for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to give you eternal life.); and John 14:23 (Jesus replied: Anyone who loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we shall come to him and make a home in him.), and John 14:16-18 (I shall ask the Father, and he will give you another Paraclete to be with you for ever, the Spirit of truth whom the world can never accept since it neither sees nor knows him; but you know him, because he is with you, he is in you. I shall not leave you orphans; I shall come to you.) So all these Biblical passages just meam: "I am a daughter, I am a sister, and I am a girl" Do you really think God is so foolish as to not be able to say I--but has to name Himself in several different forms all in one single expression: Luke 3:21-22 and Matthew 17:1-5--for what purpose?. If you compare John 14:23 and 14:16-18, do you not see the Father and the Son dwelling in God's servants (:23), and Jesus and the Holy Spirit also dwelling in God's servants? (:16-18) Would it not be simpler for Jesus to have said and God will dwell in you? Jude 20-21, do you not see three distinct Persons being mentioned: Holy Spirit, God, Lord Jesus Christ? Could Jude not have been more succinct and explicit by simply reorganizing the thought to point to God and not three individual Persons of God? I pray to Jesus, my Lord and Savior, that my Father grants the world (those who seek Him) the guidance of the Holy Spirit so that we may accept the Truth as God has revealed it, without reservations when we cannot reconcile His Divine Works to our finite knowledge and expectations; blaspheming the Holy Spirit will keeps us from Jesus, who's the only Way to the Father!
