"lies of men" is a more accurate definition of them.

Christians can't even agree with each other - I love it
that's some god they have there.
You'd think he'd make a book all believers could agree on. That would be a good sign of the true faith, no?
Is this god capable of doing such an easy thing?

Trinity is in the Bible. Read the Name of God. I AM the LORD thy God one LORD. In Hebrew LORD is Yahweh. AM is HYH. God is Elohim (Plural form, trinity) one (agreement) Yahweh.
That is the name of the trinity God. Meditate on God's name. Pray it out loud. What does God tell you. Does He say it His name? When you read and / or pray God's Word or His names out loud, then it starts to make sense. I dare you to try.
In the book of John you see Jesus using I AM many times in His identy.
Also God (Elohim) highly exalted the resurrected Jesus (human part) with a name above all others. That at the name of Jesus, every knee will bow & every tongue confess Jesus Christ is LORD.
Yahweh Elohim is actually The Trinity God. Though one Yahweh.
Jesus Christ in His resurrected body is highly exalted with a name above all. Yahweh. Of course Yahweh Elohim is the Father, Son & Holy Ghost.
Purgatory. Before Christ raised from the dead there was Abrahams bosom, paradise, & death & hell. I personally think Abrahams bosom & paradise went to heaven when Jesus rose from the dead or around that time. If you read Revelation 20 you will find that those redeemed by the blood of the Lamb go to heaven (and are part of the 1st resurrection before the 1000 yr reign of Christ), & the others go somewhere else where dead go; the dead, the sea, or death & hell. If one of these are purgatory, I don't know. And these are part of the second resurrection, will all stand before God and are judged acording to works & names not found in the books of life are thrown into the lake of fire, the second death.
If Jesus is the Son of God, He is also God the Son.
Asking Jesus in ones heart is asking God's love in ones heart. It is also giving Jesus control of ones heart. Similar to confessing Jesus Christ LORD of ones life & believing in ones heart the atonement & resurrection.
Praying to deceased Saints is (I believe) having other spiritual powers before God. A form of adolatry. It is written that Jesus Christ is our High Priest forever. Because He atoned for our sin with His own blood. We can go straight to Father God through Jesus Christ. When we are redeemed, we can come boldly to the throne of Grace in time of need. It is a promise. But God does teach us through those that have gone before us intoeaven. I also believe they are interceding on our behalf.

Very good. Your version of Christianity is probably so much more superior than others. Big gold star. I'm sure God has a special luxury condo lined up for you in the nice part of heaven.

Truths derived logically from Truths are still Truths.
Note: Saints are not deceased. They are more alive in Christ than any of us here are.
