Do you believe in the Trinity?
I believe in "Oneness". I got thrown out of a Bible study 2 years ago because I said that God isn't "three persons" This guy brought up 1 John 5:7-8 to 'prove' the Trinity. This is how it reads in the KJV:
5:7 "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 5:8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one."
This is it in the New American Standard Bible (almost every modern english translation does not include the "trinity" statement)
1 John
5:7
For there are three that testify:
5:8
the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.
The Trinity is a dangerous doctrine to believe because it doesn't make sense even pastors say they can't explain it and tell you to just 'accept it'. So now instead of people using critical thinking skills they are being misled into all kinds of false teaching
