argue your belief system in the trinity...support your position with scripture?

Question

use NIV scripture verse please

Answer 1

Put away your sword,and open your mind and I might consider.

Answer 2

The doctrine of the Trinity is encapsulated in

Matthew 28:19 (New International Version)

19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

Notice it does not say "names", but "name", singular.

The parallelism of the Father, the Son, and the Spirit is not unique to Matthew’s Gospel, but appears elsewhere in the New Testament.

2 Cor. 13:14:
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

Heb. 9:14
How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!

The word "Trinity" is not in the Bible, but neither is the word "Bible" and many other terms that came as a result of doctrinal development. If the Church did not develope doctrines, she would have no way of addressing heresies and resolving disputes. Development means clarification, it does not mean adding to or changing.

The first attack on the Trinity was Arianism, which was addressed at the council of Nicae in 325 A.D.

Answer 3

The NIV is not an accurate Bible.
There are 31 missapplied or mistranlated verses used to support the trinity. We know that because we have the older manuscripts and scrolls available now. Texts not available at the time the Vulgate and King James were being compiled.

There are hundreds that show there is only One True God that sent his Son.

That makes the trinity a contradictory doctrine.

Answer 4

i'll say the scripture & you can use a concordance to go find it, i'm too lazy right now to look up verses sorry:

Jesus and God are ONE.

you can't get to the Father except thru the Son.

if you dishonor the Son you dishonor the Father.

John 1: in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God & the Word came to earth in the Flesh.

so God & Jesus are ONE in Spirit then, because we know that Jesus sits at the right hand of God in Heaven, they don't share a physical body. hope this helps :o}

Answer 5

it style of appears like some Atheists grow to be atheists for emotional reasons. Many right here ***** approximately undesirable comments at abode with faith as somewhat one. So it style of appears like turning to Atheism is generally an emotional venture. there is no intellegent undertaking concerns that are valid. relatively good now in a LIVESCIENCE Chart I noted technologies validating the HOBBIT. Now, you telling me this is an intellegent attitude! How can there be incredibly coaching mutually as all components on the instantaneous at the instant are not given an equivalent probability to communicate. There are a minimum of 6-12 different perspectives on Evolution and the Time Line. there's a medical conflict over IF or IF no longer Neaderthal and Sapiens existed in tandem. Now, which of those perspectives are taught at school. On college of questioning says they met and mated. yet yet another college of questioning pronounced Neaderthal replaced into DEFINATELY extinct by skill of making use of the time Sapiens roamed the Earth. this is the staggering attitude. What have been YOU taught! i replaced into taught Pluto replaced good right into a planet. this is in all my grade college, severe college and college text textile fabrics books. hypothesis is taught as fact. this may well be a intense difficulty. you need to no longer have a valid coaching kit the area hypothesis is have been given right here approximately as fact. in case you do, then start up up preparation approximately section 57 and UFOs, for that, too, is concept. What it boils good right down to is YOUR suited hypothesis, which parts to no longer something extra useful than brainwashing. The purple u . s . a . is our chum, the golf green u . s . a . is our Enemy. And there ARE WMD in Iraq! Oooops. Sorry. Pluto isn't a planet, the purple u . s . a . is our enemy, the golf green u . s . a . is our chum and there are no WMD in Iraq. that's what coaching boils good right down to.

Answer 6

Is that a question?

‘Christ according to the faith, is the second person in the Trinity, the Father being the first and the holy Ghost the third. Each of these three persons is God. Christ is his own father and his own son. The Holy Ghost is neither father nor son, but both. The son was begotten by the father, but existed before he was begotten--just the same before as after. Christ is just as old as his father, and the father is just as young as his son. The Holy Ghost proceeded from the Father and Son, but was an equal to the Father and Son before he proceeded, that is to say before he existed, but he is of the same age as the other two. Nothing ever was, nothing ever can be more perfectly idiotic and absurd than the dogma of the Trinity.’

- Col. Robert G. Ingersoll

Answer 7

Why do I need to use the NIV version? It shouldnt matter. Here is your scripture.
Gensis1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. God in Greek or Hebrew (I remember which, but you are free to look it up) is actually Gods meaning the Trinity.
Luke 23:46 Then Jesus shouted. "Father I entrust my spirit into your hands!" And with those words he breathed his last. He is talking to part of the Trinity
John8:42-47 42Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now am here. I have not come on my own; but he sent me. 43Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. 44You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. 45Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! 46Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don't you believe me? 47He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God." Jesus says God sent him.
John8:28-30 28
So Jesus said (to them), "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will realize that I AM, and that I do nothing on my own, but I say only what the Father taught me.
29
The one who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, because I always do what is pleasing to him."
30
Because he spoke this way, many came to believe in him.
Jesus says He is the Son of Man and he speaks what the Father taught him.

Want more? Everything around us is made in 3 demensions. Length,width, height. Everything has God's imprints all over it. SO to deny God you would be a fool.

Answer 8

Baptise them in the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

In the beginning Elohim (plural of Alyh) created the Heavens & the earth.

Elohim said, "Lets make mankind in our Image.".

1 John 5:7-8
7 For there are three that bear record in heaven; the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
8 And there are three that bear witness in earth; the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.


The LORD (Yahweh) thy God (Elohim) is one (united, EKD) LORD (Yahweh).
