Those verses can be interpreted in multiple ways so I wouldn't keep my faith on them. The Trinity concept is man-made and not divine. Believe it.

Sorry but I rather believe God than you.

You're right, it can be intrepeted in multiple ways, however it can also be interpeted as one truth.

So then the Trinity is not a Biblical fact but a human conception?

No, that's not it at all.

The Triune Godhead of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is a Biblical fact. The English word "trinity" isn't in the Bible but for that matter, there are no English words in the original text.


I mean I've read the Big Book from cover-to-cover (The Living Bible Translation) and I never saw the word Trinity in any page.

I'm sure there were many words you didn't see in that translation.


I remember reading once that some years after the death of Christ that some Catholic hierarchy changed things around in the Bible destroying its original message and purpose. And that such a committee of men created the concept of the Trinity and convinced followers that such a concept was in fact the truth- a scriptural reality. Isn't this so?

No.

First of all, that's a rather vague statement without citations and specifics. (I know you can find them if you look.)

Secondly, not everyone uses the Catholic version of the Bible. Not everyone is a Catholic. I use the KJV, without the Apocrypha.

Finally, what is our point? I know that attacking the doctrine of the Trinity is as old as the hills and as common as the dirt in them ther' hills but other than that, what point is it that you are trying to make?

Do you believe the Holy Bible is the inerrant Word of God?

Are we still on the thread topic of God's emotions?

While Jesus was incarnate on earth, He was 100 percent human and 100 percent God at the same time. Jesus, as God, knew what He would be facing on the cross. Jesus, as man, expressed His agony to His heavenly Father.

Good question!

It seems that we switched to Trinity....
 
I wouldn't go to that website. Ignore their comments. No one can say anything nice about anybody these days. I have been around these kind of people before. We wont go to their church...do you know why? Because they said they won't accept any woman wear pants to any service, have a guy with long hair, us being poor-wearing old clothes, men must shave, or if we are divorced once we are not accepted there, if we smoke we are not accepted, etc...What is wrong with these people like them??? Love one another as it is. God do not hate anyone.

If you don't believe the Bible is God's Word, then why does it matter to you if the word "Trinity" is not in it? If you don't believe the words that are in the Bible, then having the word "Trinity" included would be meaningless to you.
 
ADers,

Please go back on topic thread. I dont want to see any off topic comment here.

It's suppose be about His emotions, hatred of something else, and this website that I post with this link (on #1 post).

Before you could point at any ADer with your mere finger, DON'T blame each other. Move on. Now, that's nuff said.

:ty: Thank you. ^_^

One question- what do you think of this as your own opinion? I find it pretty interesting... even I don't think I could agree. Be beware, this quote is pretty harsh comment.

Doesn't the Bible say that God loves everyone?

No. You are probably thinking of John 3:16, which says no such thing. The word translated "world" in that verse (kosmos) NEVER means every individual of mankind who has ever lived (see, e.g., John 17:9). Romans 9:13 says that God hated Esau, and Psalm 5:5 says that God hates all WORKERS of iniquity (e.g., fags). Other examples are Proverbs 6:16-19, Psalm 11:5, and Malachi 1:3. Given these verses, how can you say God loves everyone? Can you really say "God loves everyone" when God says "I hated Esau?" Does God love the people in hell?

Or, you are thinking of "God is love." God certainly is love, toward His elect (His children). But He certainly is not love toward the reprobate (children of the devil). That's why His elect go to heaven, and the reprobate go to hell. In Romans 9:13, which says "As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated", Jacob is a representative of God's elect, while Esau is a representative of the reprobate. In Romans 1, the word "reprobate" is used to describe fags. Fags are reprobate. God hates reprobates. Therefore, God hates fags.

Furthermore, God specifically says that He ABHORS people who engage in sodomy (as well as other forms of sexual perversion): "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood [shall be] upon them...And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them." Leviticus 20:13,23. Understand? GOD ABHORS FAGS.

God's hatred is one of His holy attributes, whereby He reveals Himself as having a fixed and immutable determination to punish the finally impenitent with eternal perdition. God's hatred is not like man's hatred. His hatred is holy, pure, unchanging, while man's hatred is a sinful, fickle emotion.

Yes, God has emotions... one of them is anger. He lashes out and kills millions of people.

Why do you find it interesting?

I find it repulsive that a church would take the Bible and twist it to fit their own political/social agenda to accomplish their own needs.

Secondly, most Christians are generally proud Americans and this church has a picture of a person's feet stepping on the American flag on the sidewalk aren't "proud Christians."

I was thinking the same thing as you were. hmmm...It's sad to see a lot of "hate" words about God, people and America..

Definitely true. It's just too much for Christianity..

Why do you find it interesting?

Besides, it's a basic of emotion that is apply to "God loves everyone", His love, His mercy, and to see the first post. It's all about hate & love of His own emotion. That point is, I actually pull out of the off topic comments and I stick it on topic back. :D

Anyway.. With this #48 post-- I disagreed strongly as my opinion.

Hate is not opposite of Love.
Indifferent is opposite of Love.
If you hate, you still do care.

So, it's not make any sense. Because it suppose to have "hatred with no mercy". See the #11 post.

For some explains--
* Noah tried to warn them about Flood, obviously, God tried to commucation with His people. Obviously He did care for His people while he hated their actions of sin.
* Jesus is a good explaination, too.

I can't think of more... I hope you get my point is.

So, a holy is not suppose to have a kind of dirty spot, right? An indifferent is an absence of Love is not a holy. LOVE IS FOR His Holy. :)

Make sense to you, I wonder?

Mann_K05, answer to your question.

I learn a lot about God in bible history and would agree that God have an emotion.

Mann_K05, I see nothing wrong when you provided some links to show us what they beleive in differently, no matter either theré´re postive nor negative. I find interesting why they thought and how they see differently.

I wouldn't even go to Westboro Baptist Church website! :rl:

They give Christians a bad name.

Not just Christians but many religion beleivers are against each other. Example: Christian negative JW´s belief as the same as JW negative Catholic´s belief... Catholic negative Baptist... go on.... I am not surprised to see those websites against other websites.... I would call it as "religion war".

That´s why I don´t have any religions to worship God and involve none of religion but accept their view, no matter either there´re postive nor negative to help my logic.

Yea, I'm tired of that type of group who makes God sound all Angry and Bad just to SCARE you into being good, to follow God or whatever, but I don't believe in that type of approach.

A christian, or any religious for that matter who is teaching others should take a more gentle approach to draw interest so that they could study about the religious or for Christian, the Bible.

I'm a Christian myself and I'm TIRED of hearing people saying "You're going to Hell" It isn't even their place to say that! It will um fall back onto them one day for saying that to other people. They're NOT helping people, only to degrade them thinking they're worthless. I've had some experience of my grandfather saying that to my sister's ex-boyfirend who was just simply a catholic... "You're going to Hell because you're a Catholic!" Whoa!!

My father has said that to me, "You're going to Hell because of your lifestyle"

Oh gee, how uplifting! (not)

So, when I approach others, I take it with caution... never know if they're not even interested or want to know any thing about God having a strong opinion which I respect and leave it at that. I don't tell them that they're going to Hell because it is not MY place to say it, it is GOD's place to say it. Whether people believe in God or not, its up to the people because they're given the choice to believe and follow God or not. :)

*nodding agreement* I know how you feeling... I was being judge to go hell by some religion beleivers before because I beleive differently. Oh well. I choose to not take their word seriously but think to myself is their ignorant, this is a simple thought. :)
