I find the beliefs of christians very perplexing:
NO.1:
christian believe in trinity,though the word TRINITY doesnt even exist in the bible...but chrisitians quote verses from the bible,e,g."I and my father are one"and say it's trinity but if u go to the context,Jesus didnt really mean that he and God r one as a person.He meant that wat God says,is ONE as the same as wat he says...Also in other places in the bible,there r verses like "My father is greater than I","My father is greater than all"etc...i mean these statements are contradicting with the first one if christians take the first statement in the sense that Jesus really meant he was god.If u go to the context, u'l find out that Jesus didnt mean he was God.
No.2
There is not a single unequivocal statement in the complete bible where Jesus Christ himself said "I am god and worship me".yet christians say that Jesus is god.....
No.3
Christians believe in salvation...It's just giving tablets to a wrong person instead of patient.i mean sin is commited by one and someone other is paying for it.if christians believe in salvation,then y arent they stopping all the law enforcement agencies and police forces to work,and y arent thet stopping seizing people involved in crimes and wrong things bcoz Jesus has already paid for their sins......I mean y dont all the christian countries write this in their constitution that Jesus has paid for our sins and we shud do watever we like...I dont understand y arent they doing so...
No.4
some christians say Jesus is not god but god's son...i wana ask christians,in the bible no where it is written that Jesus is god's BEGOTTEN son,then y r u saying this...in the bible God has referred to other prophets too calling them as sons,then y do the christians only take Jesus as his begotten son and not others.......
No.5
christians say that Jesus is god..then they say that Jesus was crucified,or he died on cross....Hey christians,u mean god died?pretty strange...

1. Not all Christians believe in the Trinity. However, the Majority who do believe in it are doing so because the Trinity helps the Bible make sense. Kind of like how you know things about people that they haven't explicitly told you about.

2. Christians who believe in the Trinity believe Jesus is a part of the Trinity. Therefore Jesus is God.

3.Sin is different from crime. Sin is between man and God, crime is between men. Police are not hired to keep people from sin, but to keep people from harming each other.

4. I don't know. I think, though, that you're trying to prove everyone is wrong because some different groups of Christians disagree.

5. Well, it's supposed to be strange. Otherwise, Christianity wouldn't be a religion. Christianity is a faith that believes that death is irrelevant. Which is pretty comforting for those of us that expect to die.

True Christians know the trinity is not a scriptural doctrine.
It took hundreds of years to develop after the death of the apostles.
Jesus is not God, but he is God's Son. Since he has superhuman powers, he is a god though.

Concerning your charge that the Bible does not say Jesus is God's only begotten Son, I hope you'll consider the following verses:

Joh 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life.

Act 13:33 that God hath fulfilled the same unto our children, in that he raised up Jesus; as also it is written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

Heb 5:5 So Christ also glorified not himself to be made a high priest, but he that spake unto him, Thou art my Son, This day have I begotten thee:

No.1
Exodus 3:14
And God said to Moses, I AM WHO I AM and WHAT I AM, and I WILL BE WHAT I WILL BE; and He said, You shall say this to the Israelites: I AM has sent me to you!
(This is what God said)

John 8:58
Jesus replied, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, before Abraham was born, I AM. (That was Jesus)

We all know abraham existed before Jesus in the old testament.But Jesus is God, The second personality of the trinity. Yes, the word "trinity" is not in the bible but that the word we christians use to describe the 3 personalities that make up 1 God

No.2
thats was answered from the No.1

No.3
1 Peter 2:13-17
Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every authority instituted among men: whether to the king, as the supreme authority, or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right. For it is God's will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish men. Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God. Show proper respect to everyone: Love the brotherhood of believers, fear God, honor the king.

No.4
John 3:16
16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

No.5
2 Corinthians 5:21
For our sake He made Christ [virtually] to be sin Who knew no sin, so that in and through Him we might become [ endued with, viewed as being in, and examples of] the righteousness of God [what we ought to be, approved and acceptable and in right relationship with Him, by His goodness].

He died but He ressurected. So in a way, He's not dead

Hopefully this answered your question

1: God is a mystery. How can you comprehend God? The Trinity doesn't speak to "God's companions" but to God Himself.

2: Jesus forgave sins and accepted worship. Would a prophet done that?

3: The Bible is clear: God's grace is not a license to sin. Jesus wasn't simply "someone" dying. He was Someone dying.

4: John 3:16 "only begotten son."

5: The Son of God became Man in order to be the perfect sacrifice for our sins.


How is the fasting going?

Many people think that they know what the Bible says and that's O.K. However to fully understand what God means, we need the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues to fully understand who God is and to be led in the Truth. All of the other answers that I read are filled with man's knowledge, but to fully understand what God wrote, we need God's knowledge, and we get that with the Holy Ghost the same way the first believers got it when they were gathered together in the Upper Room on the Day of Pentecost. Acts 2:38 tells us how to achieve this.

Friend, you are not fighting only telling the truth about the so call trinity, there is no trinity, The trinity people try to make Jesus as God, So they are saying that GOD died, Can you imagine what satan would do if God was dead, satan would have never let him rise from the dead. Many trinty people says that God & the Holy Ghost is a person, How wrong they are, God & the Holy Ghost is not a person, they are a SPIRIT, You have God working in 3 different manesfestation of the self same spirit, The trinity people can NOT see that Jesus did Not even have the Holy Ghost in him until Jesus was 30 yrs old when John baptized him, You have God as the creator, That is one manesfestation of God then you have God in Jesus as the Holy Ghost reconciling the world back unto himself, Remember trinity people God did not die, Jesus did, Then on the day of pentacost you then have God coming to dwell in his people as the comforter as the Holy Ghost, that is the 3 manesfestation of God not as 3 seperate persons or 3 seperated spirits, But all by the One & only Spirit of God. When people say Jesus was God, then their God died, But My God is the one that raised Jesus Christ back up from the dead.

What He meant was Jesus the personality had been totally surrendered to God. God was fully manifesting in the body that Jesus once occupied. He said the Kingdom of Heaven is within and those that identified Jesus with the body totally missed the message.

No1 and No2:The word "Bible" doesn't exist in the Bible, so maybe the Bible doesn't exist? The tri-une nature of God is stated throughout the Scriptures without explaining the "how's" or "why's". Starting all the way back in Genesis, every place where the word "God" is written in English, the Hebrew word is "Elohim", not "Eloheinu". This is a pleural word, like "team" or "group". Elohim (pl.) declares that He is ONE. Yet He said, "Let US make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness". So, if we're made in the image and likeness of God, then why are we humans tri-une in nature, consisting of body, soul and spirit? Doesn't that show that God is also tri-une? Isaiah 48:16 says "Jehovah said that Jehovah has sent me and His Spirit". Jesus was absolutely human in his body, and as such, God truly WAS greater. But before He inhabited that body, before Mary conceived, He was eternally God. John 1:1 says "In the beginning was the Word. The Word was WITH God, and the Word WAS God." Vs 14 says "And the Word became flesh." So, in His humanity, he would say "My Father is greater than I", yet in His diety, he could say "You believe in God. Now believe also in me." One of his followers told him, "You are the anointed Son of God." Jesus said "You are right. My Father in heaven has revealed this to you." The high priest asked him "Are you the son of the Most High God?" Jesus said "You are right." Thomas the doubter, when he saw that Jesus was truly alive three days after His crucifixion, cried out, "My Lord and my God." and worshipped Jesus. The demons cried out, "We know who you are, the Son of God. Have you come to torment us before our time?" The people wanted to stone Him. He asked why? They said "Because you made yourself out to be equal with God." Jesus forgave sins, which only God can do.

No. 4: In John 3:16, Jesus, Himself said "God sent His ONLY BEGOTTEN SON"...

No. 3: Salvation isn't a tablet. It's forgiveness of sins. "All we like sheep have gone astray. We have each turned to his own way" and "All our righteousness is as filthy rags before the LORD." and "ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." God said in Ezekiel, "I do not want to hear any more this proverb, that the fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth have been set on edge. ... The son will NOT die for the sins of the father. ... Every soul that sins shall die. Jesus paid the penalty for breaking GOD'S commandments. Men's laws still need to be upheld, or everybody would become muslem terrorists, killing innocent women, children and babies like in the England subway, and on 911!

No. 5: No. Jesus died. The BODY that the WORD inhabited died. Then the SPIRIT within that body went to hell to preach to all those who had already died to see who would follow him out of hell. Then he took the keys of hell and the grave away from satan, and THEN he fixed his dead, broken body and rose again from the grave the morning of the third day.

Oh, by the way, Jesus said there is no one good but God, then He turned around and said "I am good." That means he was claiming to be God.

You SEEM to know the Bible but sadly not the truth. Reading but could not comprehend and you want us to explain and tell you what you are confused about.

First you can't accept that God died and all that you have quoted and do you think that our explanation can get to your numb head, I doubt. I think you should read comics for the Bible might make you mad. It is for the smart people.

"Who can forgive sins but God alone?" Meditate on the Gospels. Discover Jesus!
