Answer 2

Noteworthy, too, is the fact that the trinity of Chinese Buddhism is defined in a way that is practically identical to what professed Christians say. We read:
“The Three are all included in one substantial essence. The three are the same as one; not one, and yet not different; without parts or composition. When regarded as one, the three persons are spoken of as the Perfect One (Tathagata). There is no real difference [between the three persons of the trinity]; they are manifestations, different aspects of the same unchanging substance.”—Origin and Evolution of Religion, p. 348.
Surely no one would claim that such belief in a trinity makes a Buddhist or a Hindu a Christian. The fact that non-Christian religions can frame their belief in terms similar to the language of Christendom’s theologians nullifies the claim that only the God of the Bible could have revealed this doctrine. No Buddhist nor Hindu would admit that this is the source of his belief. Well, then, did Christendom’s churches get the basis for their doctrine from the God identified in the Bible?

Answer 3

Who is Jesus?

Let's see, God's voice from heaven said:

Matt 3:17 Look! Also, there was a voice from the heavens that said: “This is my Son, the beloved, whom I have approved.”

Then you have Jesus testimony:

John 10:36 do YOU say to me whom the Father sanctified and dispatched into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, I am God’s Son?

Next there is John's testimony:

Rev 1:6 and he made us to be a kingdom, priests to his God and Father—yes, to him be the glory and the might forever. Amen.

Rev 2:17These are the things that the Son of God says,

John the Baptist:

John 1:14 the Word became flesh and resided among us, and we had a view of his glory, a glory such as belongs to an only-begotten son from a father;

34 And I have seen [it], and I have borne witness that this one is the Son of God.”

Nathanael's testimony:

John 1:49 Na·than´a·el answered him: “Rabbi, you are the Son of God, you are King of Israel.”

Paul's tesimony:

2 Cor 4:4 among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through.

Col 1:15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation;

Heb 1:3 He is the reflection of [his] glory and the exact representation of his very being, 9 You loved righteousness, and you hated lawlessness. That is why God, your God, anointed you with [the] oil of exultation more than your partners.”

Holy spirit:

Since Jehovah is a Spirit, he does not have literal hands to do things. So he uses his spirit or breath (literal meaning of the hebrew and greek words) to accomplish his will.

Also please note these comparisons:

Matt12:28 “But if it is by means of God’s spirit that I expel the demons, the kingdom of God has really overtaken YOU.”

Luke 11:20 “But if it is by means of God’s finger I expel the demons, the kingdom of God has really overtaken YOU.”

Here God’s spirit is described as God’s finger. Again ownership of the spirit, it belongs to God, it’s part of God, but definitely not part of a Godhead.


The truth in the bible is very easy to understand:

God is the Father. (1 Cor 8:6)
Jesus is the Son of God, the image of God.
The holy spirit is the breath of God.
.

Answer 4

I would suggest looking into these Christian churches: Jehovah's Witnesses, Christadelphians, Bible Students, American Unitarian Conference, Arian Catholic Church, Oneness Pentecostal, UU Christian Fellowship, etc. Swedenborgianism (look up Swedenborg on Wikipedia) was also non-Trinitarian. Perhaps one of these may speak to your condition. You can find all of them doing an online search.

While it is true that LDS Mormons do not believe in the Trinity, they have a doctrine of Godhead and eternal progression which is more polytheistic than monotheistic.

Answer 5

By Trinity I assume you mean the doctrine developed in the 4th and 5th centuries describing the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost as 3 persons combined in one substance.

My understanding is the same as what was taught in the original Christian Church and described in the New Testament, that the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are 3 separate individuals that are one in purpose, not substance.

Jesus Christ is the only begotten son of the Father and is the Savior of the world. He Atoned for our sins, died, and was resurrected the 3rd day. He currently has a physical body as tangible as mans.

The Holy Ghost is a personage of spirit. He has no physical body. His mission is to testify of truth.

Answer 6

Jesus is God's Son. He has been appointed by God to rule as King in God's Kingdom and rid the earth of wickedness and bring faithful mankind back to perfection, and fulfill all the desires of our perfect hearts.

The holy spirit is God's power. It is the most powerful force in the universe, it is what he uses in all his actions, be it acts of salvation, destruction, creation, restoration, protection etc.

Answer 7

Rhonda B, that's not true. Nice try, but no. It would be easy to assume though. But the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are all equal. See:

In the beginning was the word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.

John 1:1

Answer 8

In my opinion: Jesus was a spiritual teacher who I don't believe was any 'more' one of God's children, or more 'divine' than the rest of us are. And as for the Holy Spirit, I think that it's God's energy and blessings that are sent by the Creator in times of need and when requested by prayer.

Thanks for the great question!

Answer 9

The holy spirit is God's active force. It's not a literal person. Jesus is not God. He is God's Son. The concept is easy to grasp if you have a child or know someone who does.

Answer 10

jesus is god manifested in the flesh. the holy ghost is god in activity as spirit.
