I mean is it true what some say that people are realizing that Religion, Prophets etc were all fantasies & the more the time goes on the more likely these aspects are phasing out, its not that i belive this is the case but just want other peopls's opinions.

(Please no Atheists or Hijackers)

I'm having a hard time understanding the Trinity.

It's hard to grasp 3 in 1 or Tri-unity.

How does 3=1. How can 3 parts of God equate to 1 God?

Why do the 3 parts of God talk to each other all throughout the Bible? Why would God talk with himself?

Why do Jews not think of the Holy Spirit, rather they have several natures of God and us Christians who worship the God of Judaism too believe in 3.

Since Jesus is God, and his mother is Mary, isn't Mary "THE MOTHER OF GOD" and not just a simple "vessel" claimed by numerous protestants.

If Jesus is God, why does he represent you before his Father if he is the Father too?

Why was the term trinity not used until 325 AD after a huge battle of bishops. They argued over the very topic and it developed into the Arian Controversy.

Would that have been made clear by Christ if there was a trinity.

I know Genesis says "we" in quoting God, but again, Jews had NUMEROUS natures of God.

Thanks, I'm confused

i haven't even moved into the dorms yet and there are already problems. there are 4 of us guys, 4 bedrooms, a kitchen, and a living room. it seems i'm the only one bringing a tv and i'm not going to lie, i'd rather have it in my room instead of the living room. of course they think i'm being selfish. i just already know we dont watch the same stuff and sometimes i just want to have it on when i'm in bed or have a game on in the background while studying and so on. am i really being that selfish?

why none of his apostles was a black guy? He never allowed any of his apostle to marry a black woman either.

then why can't a single one of us choose to live without sin?

According to the Bible we are all sinners, no one is good. Only God is good.

#1. The appendix. "A" vestigial organ which serves a purpose
in lower mammals, but is useless in humans and is only good
for getting infected and killing you. Why did "God" include this
in "his" blueprints for humans?
#2. Hemorrhoids! This complex of veins in the rectal area causes no problems in quadrupeds, but in humans, our upright posture causes excessive blood pressure in these veins and causes them to become varicose. Why did "God" employ a system (optimized for 4-legged beasties!) in humans?
#3. Our eyes. the optic nerve starts in FRONT of the retina, obstructing a portion of our field of view (the "blind spot.") A design which is easily explained as a result of random mutation, but DESIGN? Then why does a squid's eye have a better design (with optic nerve BEHIND retina, no blind spot!)
Are not HUMANS the crowning creation of "God"? (Or is "God" a squid?)
Fill me in on this please! (I guess I damned myself when I went
to college. Should I have become a garbage man instead..?)

Luke 22:31,32 "And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren." This was just before Peter betrayed Jesus.

I am religious so please forgive me, but I have this 'conspiracy'.

why on Earth girls & women has all those period cramps and headaches but boys & men nothing????

yesterday I was talking with my friend and she said that I shouldnt worry, if she starts yelling, cause she had cramps. what about me? where are my cramps? oh right, I dont have a uterus, thats why. hm, but still, why I'm not in pain? I'm barely in pain. I'm happy when I'm in pain, seriously. why girls have all that abdominal pain but not boys? boys should also have something. and I dont count the pain when kicked 'down there'.

I remember when the puberty started, in the school they didnt mentioned not even one thing about boys having any pain or cramps. but when I read in womens health section, I just wanna hug every girl. why they have to be in pain? if He created us, why didnt He also gave something to boys too?

the only abdominal pain in my puberty that I remember was, when I ate too much. thats it.

i believe that spirits that are invisible exist because of my religion, but do those freaky scary ghosts that you can actually see and hear in a dark house really exist? because i don't believe in that ghost crap because, why would they only appear at night? and those shows like ghosthunters are fake, i know that, on youtube there was a video tutorial on how to create a ghost video with a simple editor, and professionals can easily edit a ghost video, i've never really seen one, and from my point of view people who have claimed to see ghosts were in the dark in their house, but they obviously saw an object in their house that might have looked like a ghost... and my friend lives in an old house where his grandparents have lived in and they died ... but he said ghosts don't exist and he's never seen a ghost, and for me the only "ghosts" i've seen were on the internet and tv, which in most cases are bogus boleney

so give me ur opinion?

Why is it hard to accept that we came from a God who is alive?

And I know the question("who created God?") is coming so let me go ahead and answer it...God is not a creation,we are,God doesnt reside in the physical universe so it's not neccesary for Him to have a creator.

Does it ever feel like no one really knows you or cares to know you and vice versa? Does this frustrate you because the Lord wants us to be one Body in Christ. Do you feel spiritually thristy as result?
If you can relate, what have you done to change this. Did you look into other churches or stop going to church altogether?
Is there such a thing as a church being metaphorically "dead"? And if so, give some examples.

First off, I have a sever nut allergy...30 min to live if I ingest nuts and I told the host. Incase she forgot and for my own saftey, I plan to check with the person serving the food. If there are nuts, is it rude to ask for something different or not eat it? Should I contact her a couple days before and remind her about my allergy?

Second, what topics should I avoid. I tend to be really opinionated and speak my mind...sometimes I speak with out thinking first but I'm going to try my best not to at the dinner.

Third, can someone please remind me about proper table manners? I know not to speak with my mouth full and no elbows on the table. But for a formal dinner, there's probably more that I shouldn't do and do.

Any other advice would be great!
Thanks
