in the Oneness of God, not in three persons or entities making up the One God !!!

Islam believes in One God, ALLAH !!

Judaism believes in One God, YHWH !!

Each of these religions has its own set of

Scriptures, which is said by the religion to

be the ONLY Source of Truth, and that

their Scriptures ALONE contain God's words

written in them ?

Judaism teaches that The Truth is found in
YHWH, and in the Tanak, in the teachings of Abraham, and Moses.

Islam teaches that The Truth is found in the Holy
Qur'an, and in the teachings of Mohammad.

Christianity teaches that The Truth is Only found
in Jesus cause he said he is the way, truth, life.
And that only their bible holds the words of the truth of their three persons in One God: God The Father, God The Son (The Word, the bible - that became flesh = "Jesus"), and The Holy Spirit.

So what is my point: what god, and what set of Truth(s) is a person suppose to believe ?

If you were born to English speaking parents, you speak English.
If you were born to Arabic speaking parents, you speak Arabic.
If you were born to non-theistic parents, religion doesn't matter much.
If you were born to fanatically devout Jews, Christians or Muslims, you speak double-speak: they talk about peace and love but we know them by their actions and many are hateful, intolerant, bigots who murder in the name of their god.
Extreme religion is a deadly disease.

The first step is to establish how many Gods exist: one! Isaiah 43:10; 44:6,8; 45:5,14,18,21,22; 46:9; 47:8; John 17:3; 1 Cor. 8:5-6; Gal. 4:8-9 "I am the LORD, and there is no other; besides Me there is no God" (Isaiah 45:5). “Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel And his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: ‘I am the first and I am the last, And there is no God besides Me," (Isaiah 44:6).

"I am the Lord, and there is no other; besides Me there is no God, (Isaiah 55:5).



The Trinity can be a difficult concept to understand. Some think it is a logical contradiction. Others call it a mystery. Does the Bible teach it? Yes it does, see trinity, but that doesn't automatically make it easier to comprehend.

The Trinity is defined as one God who exists in three eternal, simultaneous, and distinct persons known as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Such a definition may suffice for some, but for others this explanation is insufficient.

Therefore, to help understand the Trinity better, I offer the following analogy that, I think, is hinted at in Rom. 1:20: "For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made."

Notice that this verse says God's attributes, power, and nature, can be clearly seen in creation. What does that mean? Should we be able to learn about God's attributes, power, and nature by looking at what He has made? Apparently, according to the Bible, this is possible.

When a painter paints a picture, what is in him is reflected in the painting he produces. When a sculptor creates a work of art, it is from his heart and mind that the source of the sculpture is born. The work is shaped by his creative ability. The creators of art leave their marks, something that is their own, something that reflects what they are. Is this the same with God? Has God left His fingerprints on creation? Of course He has.

I can not speak for all of Jehovah's witnesses.And I can say they are misinformed about many things not just the Trinity.The word Trinity mearly means Three in Unity.Well yes there were Pagan religions that worshiped Trinity's of Gods but although this is true they did not call them trinity's to my knoweldge.(I'm open to proof of my error if I'm wrong)But even if they did if we are not worshiping those false God's as Christians and we are believing in the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit don't even Jehovah's witnesses believe in them?Or do they only believe in Jehovah? Because there actually are three and they are in unity aren't they? I also believe that no one should mock anothers belief .There are ways of opening peoples hearts and minds other then down right rudeness.I know that Jesus called the religous elments of His day Hypocrites but none of Jehovah's Witnesses are Jesus and none hold His athority.When you read the bible you don't find the apostles speaking the way the witnesses do to people who were even Godless Pagans .They were kind an gentel even Jesus set that example.You cannot mock what people believe and than expect them to smile and say that's fine just step on my heart.You reap what you sow .If you sow contention and devision and hatred then you can't cry when your crop is full of contention,devision and hatred.Sow love and gentelness and kindness and then your crop will be full of GOOD THINGS.For the record I have been a Christian for many many years and my God does not have three heads and all my friends who love God and His Son would be appauled that someone would even entertain such a thought about what they believe.

Don't study error, study truth, the Scriptures!
Lets clarify a few things. Since sin, mankind is less than perfect. Perfection is YHVH's standard. YHVH sent the Savior YAHOSHUA so that by receiving Him man could receive the perfection needed to live in a perfect world. If a person chooses not to receive this gift, then he cannot live in the perfect world, and therefore, when the Almighty cleanses this world with fire, and burns up all sin (prior to making this world new, and perfect) then those people attached to their sins will be burned up with the sins they refuse to give up. How could the Almighty be more generous????

Read each ones holy book(s) and whatever one you agree with the most is the winner, just make sure you understand what the actual meaning is, not what it looks like because there a LOT of bad translations out there.

Also visit a mosque a synogogue and a church and talk with the Rabbi Imam or priest/minister.

But also keep in mind that they are all the same GOD. Or at least according to Islam.

I'm a christian. But only 14 years old. I have offered my life to God. I learn tons about him. But not of this topic yet. But lack of information and facts in my head doesn't mean Christianity is false.

For your last question- If you love God, you love all three. If you love God but not Jesus, you do not love any. It is the trinity, three in one. It's something too complex for me to remember.

you'll find out the truth in your death bed.

Stick with the words and message of Jesus. If you believe his message, then you believe in him. Get it.

What was Jesus doing when he said he was the way?

Answer: He was teaching us how to live our lives so as to go to Heaven. His message was the way. Get it.

Jesus never said, "I am going to die for your sins; past, present, and future sins." No matter what you do on Earth, you will go to Heaven if you will worship me."

Follow:
His words, his message, not Pauls message, not Peter's message, not Your Bubba Preacher's message.

To believe in Jesus is to believe his message. (How clear can John 3:16 be? Unless of course you go to a church that says, well you know what your church says.) Most Church doctrines don't make any sense. Unless you have been indoctrinated by Paul.

The trinity is not a Bible teaching.

God said you will find Him only after you seek Him with your whole heart.

Jesus is the only truth.

Genesis: God said Let US make man in OUR image and after OUR likeness, etc. etc.

hence, God is a TRINITY> To deny GOd the son is to deny God the father. Jesus said whoever has seen me has seen the father...I and the father are one.....etc. etc.
