trinity is basic belief of christians yet the word never been mentioned even once in the bible
verses that have been used to support it was a scribal error like in case of 1 John 5:8
thus we reach that christian belief is not based on bible but what priests say ,see
They worship me in vain;
their teachings are but rules taught by men.'[b] 8You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men."
if you said this verse prove christ divinity i would ask you ,when did jews worship christ?

Jesus makes it quite clear hat there are three persons n one God, especially in the Gospel of John;

1.He called God his father, therefore declaring that he had the same Nature as God. the religious leaders knew exactly what He meant, and tried several times to discredit, then kill him;\

2.He promised a third person, the Paraclete, or Holy Spirit,to be sent to the true believers after His ascension to heaven;

3.Early Jews worshiped Jesus by looking forward to a messiah. Every religious Jew at the time of Jesus' birth, from Joseph and Mary, who were quite limited in wealth and education, all the way up to the Pharisees and Sadducees, who did nothing but study the scriptures and other religious writings of that time, knew the meaning of the messianic predictions.

Many felt that the Messiah would save the Jews from the oppression of the Romans; that is why it was so easy to reject one who refused to become King, or lead an army.

some of these teachings are difficult to understand, but they ARE there, in the Bible; these doctrines have been successfully defended for ages.

Their Trinity says that 1 + 1 + 1 = 1. Which doesn't really make sense, considering the vast differences between the three (God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. You have a being only Moses possibly saw, a man claiming to be the Messiah and some magical God Fire. How are those the same thing?)

the word "Bible" doesn't appear in the Bible. neither do many words in the English language.

and really the only acknowledgement of the Jews worshipping Jesus was after He died and are recorded in the Bible. for example, Thomas. another example, the entire gospel of John. yet another, Paul.

the Trinity is not a scribal error. the gospels testify of this, especially the gospel of John.

the trinity is just a symbol, word used to represent the God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus Christ. It means that these three are one unto itself. The opposite of this is oneness, which would mean each is a seperate being.
The Bible teaches of God, the Holy Spirit, and Christ as one, therefore being the trinity by it's definition.
Other religions have used this terminology, that is true.

Well.. technically the Trinity is mainly a Catholic belief. Not all Christians except it as their 'law' to obey the 3-in-1 God.

hey if you've read the bible you will notice its stories built upon each other to help society learn not to follow as a serious all abiding law the history of the trinity reaches further back than christainty itself and there fore should be noted not as one specific religion but as a stepping stone to a better understand in life dont take it seriously its basically a life lesson to help us cope

No Christian belief is based on the Bible. The Christian Church had all its beliefs before the Bible was written. The Bible is based on the Christian beliefs received from Christ by the Apostles.

You continue to have a terrible argument.

(John 3:16)(John 5:26) (1 John 4:10)(John 14:26; 15:26)(Isaiah 44:24) (Gal. 3:13)(Rom. 15:16).

* Matt. 28:18, Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,
* 1 Cor. 12:4-6, Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord. 6And there are varieties of effects, but the same God who works all things in all persons.
* 2 Cor. 13:14, The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.
* Eph. 4:4-7, There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; 5one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all. 7But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift.
* 1 Pet. 1:2, "according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctifying work of the Spirit, that you may obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with His blood: May grace and peace be yours in fullest measure."
* Jude 20-21, "But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith; praying in the Holy Spirit; 21keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life."

Your question is somewhat ambiguous. in case you advise: "There are 2 instruments of 'top undemanding ideals,' and that they are contradictory," then they are not the two 'top undemanding ideals.' fact is purpose. it works in specific methods. There are not any contradictions. to % this, you're able to nicely known that a minimum of a sort of instruments is fake. in case you advise, "there is set of 'top undemanding ideals,' and it is contradictory," then the set encompasses a selection of of fake premises. you will could ensure which premise(s) is/are fake. For the two circumstances, the treatment is basic: shop the words and premises defined and attempt them against fact. If it is achieveable for it to be incorrect, then discard the basis.

In the first book of the Torah, God is speaking to "Himself" right as He is preparing to create mankind. Jews are monotheistic, so it would make sense that when God said" "Let US make man in OUR own image and according to OUR likeness..." (Genesis 1:26). He had to be speaking ONLY to Himself and not fellow gods, because there is only ONE creator.

Jesus said... "If you have seen me, you have seen the Father", but He neither referred to Himself as God, nor as the "son of God." other people referred to Him as that, but He never said it Himself, so that his humility and therefore His divinity would be complete, and perfect. Jesus only referred to Himself as "the son of man" and rightly so. He emptied himself of His rights to be able to do this... (Read Philippians 2:5-11). ->

"Have among yourselves the same attitude that is also yours in Christ Jesus, Who though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God something to be grasped.
Rather, he emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, coming in human likeness; and found human in appearance,
he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, even death on a cross. Because of this, God greatly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name,
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, of those in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
