Answer 1

Hello friend,
After reading all that you wrote, a question came to me which is
this, You possibly have spent time in God's Book, what hinders you from believing and accepting it?

But to your question,
1. You said "the trinity" and then asked for a reference. In so doing, you've cancelled out this part of your question by mixing an idea or concept "trinity" which is clearly taught in scripture, by requesting a "reference of the word" which is not found in scripture. You set up a straw man only to knock it down.

Let me give you an example of the same.
Most folks who believe the Bible, believe that if you accept Christ as your Savior, you go to Heaven when you die. Right? Have you heard that?
Well going to the Heaven when you die part, is what we've added to scripture to complete a concept. This concept IS clearly taught in scripture but, in reality, no where in scripture does it say that you go to Heaven when you die. But in Christ, you do go there.

So if I asked you to give me a scripture that says you go to Heaven when you die, you would not be able to do so. But that does not invalidate the concept.

2.Easy enough, Jesus built His church. Or in that verse, He said "My church". Now I suspect that by church, you mean religion or name out front of the building. But friend, that's all wrong.
Church simply means "called out ones" Ekklesia in the Greek.
His church are those called out from among the world.

3.Since I am not protesting anything, I'm disqualified from answering this one. But I know what your point is.

4. Look at 2 Tim 3:16.

Last point for you. After all you've cited, isn't it possible that God
could be tugging at your heart and you really want to answer Him?
I hope so.
Blessings,
2 Tim. 2:7

Answer 2

1.A In the beginning God (Elohim) the plural of God said
B.Jesus said three bare witness in Heaven
C.Genesis 18 In the plane of mamre God appeared to Abraham three men The word trinity is known in all Christian circles to represent Elohim

2.Peter the rock was to feed the body of believers The church
3. Yes she was a blessed woman the bare the Christ. But not to be worshiped. Some call her the meditrix or mediator.ist timothy 2.5 tells us"for there is one God and one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus
All books of the old testament are inspired, The apostle Paul called the old testament The shadow of things to come. Without it it would be impossible to understand the new. Even Jesus told his disciples that they should have understood his parables , the only way they could have was with the old, there was no new testament yet. Jesus even fought the devil with O.T. quotes. man doth not live by bread alone but by every word that proceedith from the mouth of God.

5. all night

I understand that you have a Gospel. The Bible should not be used to prove your religion, but to find it.

Read Matthew 23 .9 and hear Jesus words as he spoke to the priest. Call no man father upon the Earth for one is your Father, which is in Heaven.

May the lord richly bless you.

Answer 3

1) The Latin word "trinity" does not appear in the New Testament (it is written in Greek) or the Old Testament (Hebrew).

2) Greek Orthodox

3) You misrepresent Protestant beliefs and practices. Do more research before you post.

4) Old Testament: Luke 24:44; New Testament: 2 Peter 3:15-15
Note that GOD created the cannon of scripture; The church merely discovered it.

5) All night.

Answer 4

1. Yes, I do. The word "trinity" is a word we use to reference God's Three-in-One nature. It is not found in the Bible, but the actual definition of the word is referenced and hinted many times.
2. Of course. He built His church through Peter's going out and preaching. People have misused the word "church", and now, for a lot of people think it means a single building. It means a body, and that body does not necessarily have to be contained in one building, either. It can be spread throughout the world, and it is! As Christians, we are the church that God built through Peter.
3. If you insist on labeling denominations, go ahead. I'm not necessarily protestant, but, yes, Mary was blessed in the sense that God used her as a method of coming into the world.
4. 2 Timothy 3:16
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,

Note how it says, "ALL scripture".
5. It happened in a matter of minutes, maybe seconds. God pushed back the sea, then HELD it back all night while the people of Israel crossed the dry riverbed. Keep in mind that the nation of Isael was huge. I'm sure it took a while to cross, don't you? By early morning, God saw that everyone had crossed. God threw the Egyptians into confusion, and in the mess that ensued they began to go after the Israelites. While the Egyptian army was in the dry bed, God caused the waters to come crashing into place, eliminating Israel's threat.
I hope this helps, God bless!

Answer 5

1. Yes...while there is a verse in the Bible that says Father, Son and Spirit, these three are one, and of course the verse where Jesus says, I have become one with the Father...I think more compelling evidence comes from the Hofi Komen ceremony of Passover.

2. His Church (remember, his definition and our definition are most likely different--don't take things so literally).

3. They call all mothers blessed. Perhaps you meant to ask why
protestants don't consider Mary to be someone to pray to.

4. This question is not relevant as either way it is circular reasoning.

5. According to the verse, all night. Either way though, the story
is most likely figurative, not literal.

Answer 6

It's getting late but I'll hit a couple of these.

[#1]

Fourth word in the Bible. In the beginning God. Check the concordance. Elohiym. Plural intensive - singular meaning.
The link is below.

Genesis 1:26 "And God said, Let us make man in our image..." Then verse 27: "So God created man in his own image..." God refers to Himself with a plural pronoun, again implying the Triune nature of Deity.

Genesis 11:6 "And the LORD (Jehovah) said,...(vs.7) let us go down, and there confound their language..." Then vs. 8 says: "So the LORD (Jehovah) scattered them abroad..." Interestingly, in this passage , it is specified that it is Jehovah doing the speaking, and He refers to Himself with plural pronoun. The Triune nature of Jehovah is shown forth again.

Isaiah 6:8 "Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Here God speaks of Himself using both the singular pronoun and the plural pronoun. Why? One God, three persons. Again, the doctrine of the Trinity.



1John 5:7 Nothing could be any plainer and clearer that this statement on the Trinity. "These three are one" says the Scripture. Therefore, God can speak of Himself in both the singular (emphasizing the 1 God aspect of His character) and the plural (emphasizing the 3 person aspect of His character).

I've got some more but that should suffice.

[#2]

That could be Peter or Peter's confession of Christ. See link below.

[#3] I believe Mary is blessed among women but I don't pray to her. That's just my thing.

[#4] I'll leave for another ....

Good night.

Answer 7

no ,i don't believe in the trinity, it is a manmade doctrine trying to who god is, Jesus always proclaimed that he was the son of god not god himself. Many christains were killed for rejecting the trinity! If the trinity was so then they still have only named two persons the spirit is not a person so who is the third person? The spirit is the force of god and how he gets things done. to come up with a trinity that must of been some bad crack they were on!

Answer 8

How about this: What does the Bible say about rich people?

What does the Bible say about Heaven and vegetarianism?

How will knowing any of those things up there make you a better person? Who do you think God will appreciate more, the person who knows these answers, or the person who donates their time and energy into helping people and animals and still beleives?

Answer 9

1. Yes, (Gen 1:26)And God said, Let US make man in OUR image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. (Luke 1:28-35) And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
29. And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
30. And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
31. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
32. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
33. And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
34. Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
35. And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
2. God's Kingdom on earth
3. We do. We say Mary was special because she was blessed. I think Catholics would say she was blessed because she was special. See the difference?
4. Don't understand the Q.
5. At least overnight
