Yes! Notice in the passage I provide that the Word is capitalized meaning Jesus. Because Jesus is the Living Word.

Not a chance. Although it is a common belief in Christianity, that doesn't mean it's true. I do believe in God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost, but the Bible teaches clearly that they are seperate beings.
Here two quotes by the Savior. John 8:54 Jesus answered, If I honor myself, my honor is nothing: it is my Father that honoreth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God. John 5:31, 37 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true…And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath born witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
According to his own words, if he is the Father his witness cannot possibly be true, because he would be bearing witness of himself. Since we believe Jesus spoke the truth, and is the Truth, we must conclude that the Trinity concept is false.
Perhaps the most convincing argument for the Gods being separate and embodied is they have been witnessed as such. Steven saw the Father and the Son right before he was martyred. The Acts 7:55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up steadfastly into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, and said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing on the right hand of God. When I have quoted this scripture I have been gently reminded that it never says Steven actually SAW God. Technically, this is true, but if he did not see the Father then how did he know Jesus was standing at his right? And how could Jesus stand at his right if they were one God? ??? /?? /??/
The question to ask yourself is: is God a God a confusion? Because the Trinity is as confusing as heck!

I personally do not, since I am steering more toward the Pentecost religion...I know about the Trinity since I had been Baptist.. the trinity is the three in one belief that there will be three entities when you are before God on your judgement day- The Father (which is God) , the Son (meaning Jesus) and the Holy Spirit.. I have a hard time believing this since I know that Jesus was God manifest in the flesh. Also the Holy Spirit has no form and so then how can there be three? The bible states that when Jesus died his spirit returned to the father (GOD)...So really who is to say...Religion is just that..A belief that you can decide. Glad this is a free country and we have the right to choose our religion....

Jesus was created the almighty has always been here, these are the scriptures to prove it. As a first cause he rules the world under his fathers direction.
(Colossians 1:15-17) . . .5 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; 16 because by means of him all [other] things were created in the heavens and upon the earth, the things visible and the things invisible, no matter whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All [other] things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all [other] things and by means of him all [other] things were made to exist,
(Revelation 3:14) 14 “And to the angel of the congregation in La·o·di·ce´a write: These are the things that the Amen says, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation by God,
(Acts 7:55) 55 But he, being full of holy spirit, gazed into heaven and caught sight of God’s glory and of Jesus standing at God’s right hand,
(Revelation 1:1) 1 A revelation by Jesus Christ, which God gave him, to show his slaves the things that must shortly take place. And he sent forth his angel and presented [it] in signs through him to his slave John,
(Revelation 7:10) 10 And they keep on crying with a loud voice, saying: “Salvation [we owe] to our God, who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb.”

NO
John 17:3,5,24; Col.1:15-17; Rev.3:12,14;
John 1:1-26 [ A dozen, the Father, the Son and the holy Spirit is unity, not trinity ];
Jesus was with God before the world was, Jesus is the first creation created by God in the image of God.
Gen.1:26; God said." Let us make man in our image, after our likeness."

I am a christian so yes I do believe in the trinity. The trinity is God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy ghost. They are all the same.

I do not. The word itself can not be found in the bible. Neither can this doctrine be inferred from the Bible. According to most Encyclopedias this is a pagan doctrine engrafted by Augustine to Chritendom's beliefs. Further, Jesus said that his Father is greater than he is. That, he (jesus) is a mere worshipper of God. Read John 14:28; 20:17.
What could be a more stronger proof against the trinity doctrine than the admissions of Jesus himself?

Yes.
Tim, 3:16 states: And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness, God was manifested in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, Seen by Angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the World, and Received up in glory

No. The Son, The Holy Ghost, and our Heavenly Father are three different beings. The trinity was invented long after Christ walked the earth.

The early church came up with the trinity as a way of worshiping Jesus as God while still being considered a monotheist religion.
