Some critics of the Trinity doctrine claim that since the word "trinity" is not found in the Bible, it isn't true. Furthermore, some assert that if God wanted us to believe in the Trinity He would have stated the doctrine clearly.
First of all, it is illogical to claim that since the word "Trinity" is not found in the Bible that its concept is not taught therein. This kind of objection usually demonstrates a prejudice against the teaching of the Trinity. Instead, the person should look to God's word to see if it is taught or not.
Second, there are many biblical concepts that people believe in that don't have a specific word describing them used in the Bible. For example, the word "bible" is not found in the Bible, but we use it anyway to describe the Bible. Likewise, the words "omniscience," which means "all knowing," "omnipotence," which means "all powerful," and "omnipresence," which means "present everywhere," are words not found in the Bible either, but we use them to describe the attributes of God. We don't have to see a specific word in the Bible in order for the concept it describes to be true.
Following are other words that the Bible does not use but the concepts are mentioned.

Atheism is the teaching that there is no God. "The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God" (Psalm 14:1).

Divinity which means divine quality or godlike character. Yet, we speak of the godlike quality of the Lord God. See Psalm 139.

Incarnation which means the word (God) who became flesh. Yet, this is definitely taught in the Bible (John 1:1,14).

Monotheism is the teaching that there is only one God (Isaiah 43:10; 44:8).

We took a 3-hour trip in the spring, in a vintage five-car train, and we sat in the last car, which was not air conditioned, but you could open the window. It was great fun.

The same company is doing it again this fall for a Civil War re-enactment, but we'll pass. We've gotten hooked, though. We're looking for other day train trips, like the one in the Shenandoah Valley to see the fall foliage.

If I said " I am laughing on u " does this makes sense ?

Or it could be " I am laughing about u "

OR Laughing shouldn't have a preposition after it ?

For example , If I did something funny or said some jokes ... Will u laugh on me ? or ... will you laugh about me ?
OR will u laugh because of me ?

I'm very good at a certain subject in my school, and I'm in the top streamed class for it. When a teacher asks a question I know the answer a lot of the time, so I usually just stick my hand up and answer it. This never bothered me before [I didn't see why it should], but recently people have been coming off with quips like 'you're such a swot and you think you know everything', or 'Just because you're good at -blank- doesn't mean you're some genius.' I don't think I am, and I don't think I know everything. I've been told it could be Jealousy, but it seems arrogant to believe that. Do I come off like that anyway just for knowing the answer?

just because you are from the same "race".?

Example- I expect you to do business with me just because we are both of the same race


I get appraoched by folks that expect me to "hook them up" (referals,contacts,etc)
just because we are of the same race.

And when I respond different from what they expected they look at me with disappointment.

How do I know they expect the "hook up",because they will start to talk about other races of folks in a negitive way as if it is "us against them". I am truley amazed at folks narrow minded ways of doing things.

I only focus on GREEN when it comes to business is always my response.

So many say they don’t care what others think yet this goes contrary to all evidence.
We care a great deal about what others think.
What do we achieve by it all?
What’s to be gained?
Do we even know?
Do we care?

My husband started a few different companies at the beginning of the year. For one of the companies, he brought on a woman in our community who wasnt working and her husband was having a difficult time staying employed. He brought her on as an independent contractor, only to be paid if she produced. The company is no longer.

Question, he gave her a $1200 laptop to use and to either give back or pay for. She hasnt done either and we cant afford to just give it to her. She will not return any of our emails stating that we need it. The thing is, she is a neighbor and knows she'll be running into us. How would you handle this situation?

P.S. Although they are on hard times, she drives around in a new Suburban and her husband has a large Cadillac. They were also members of our $500 neighborhood pool this summer.

So when God ordered them to leave the Garden of Eden, why didn't they just say, "No way, we like it here."?

We want separation of church and state, not someone using this as their voice.
We looked into on the internet and these films have already been outlawed in Mississippi. The producer has admitted to some of the quotes not being real or well documented.
One of the films said that if we go with Christian based education that there is less teen sex.
I don't dislike Christians, or any other religion but I don't want propaganda taught as history.
Has anyone dealt with this sort of thing? How is it best to complain?
Thanks.

thought of never seeing my Dad again (he died 6 years ago) is overwhelming. I love the "thought" of heaven and that he is there waiting on us, but if there is a God, would it be a sin for me to start going to church not believing in him? If there is a heaven, I want to make it there to see my Dad (and my kids some day). I don't disrespect people that believe in God, I just have a hard time believing in something that I can't see. Please don't use the "well you can't see air, but you know it's there" because of course I know it's there...I'm breathing! But if I wanted to attend church and treat it like a school type learning process to see if I can be convienced...is that wrong? Is it wrong for me to say "Ok God...Convience me" If it matters, I'm 39 years old. (sometimes age matters to me on questions)

i've blocked 3 accounts now from a certain person, and made my Q&A private, and changed my name & avatar, reported it to yahoo... i'm just waiting for more harrassment with another profile. they've threatened to report me if i refer in any way to anything they've said or done to me in any question.
(i'm sure this one would apply as well. apparently by asking such a question i'm "slandering, harassing, and stalking" *them*, even though i've never answered a single question of theirs or followed them around reporting everything like they've done to me)

[btw, it's someone i picked up in the pregnancy & parenting section, not here. i just figured some on here may know what to do.]

i would ignore it, but they keep reporting me as well, and i don't want to lose my account.

how can i keep this person away?
what else can i do?

you a miracle of healing before your eyes and he preached the love of Christ,.... but he was kinda off concerning the deeper teachings of Christ and the end time prophecies on what you were taught in church,.....would you still except him as a true prophet of God?.....If not,....how could you tell the difference?.........Would it make you question what you were taught in church?............I'm hoping for some honest answers from my Christian brother and sisters.

If you are not able to answers this openly could you email me.

Thanks much..........Godspeed
