The word Trinity is not found in the Bible, but neither is the word monotheism, theocracy, or the English word Bible.
It's not hard to know what it means. Both Webster's and Funk and Wagnall's dictionary defines the Trinity as: 1. "The state or character of being three."
2. "Any union of three parts or elements in one
3. "A threefold consubstantial (sharing the same substance) personality existing in one Divine Being or substance."
4. The union of one God of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as three infinite persons.
It's in the dictionary so the book don't lie.
I respectfully disagree with you about how people will find it insulting if I say "Our God" It's the same as "Our Father" "Our Lord" "Our Heavenly Father" "Our Heavenly God" I'm not here to pleased anyone, If I want to say "Our God" I have that right.
Of course non-believers, and non-religious people do have a God, but they chosen not to believe in one God, some believe in gods, some believe in idols, some believe in none.
We do not get to decide, God decides, that's what the final judgment day is for, Everyone will appear in front of God to be judged.
then he will judge? Or secrets shall prevail...Oh boy...If we choose to meet the maker, yes he will decide...
About that part, everyone appear in front of God...and for him to judge...he will tell everyone what we did wrong in our life and we sinned...
Does he have an office and discuss about my life and sins in his office? In private...
It did not say specify, but I do know for one thing as it stated in the bible that there appear to be two separate judgments coming for all humankind, dead or alive, first one will be for believers, second would be for unbelievers.
Thank you, Tousi.
I did mention, "reglious or none at all," I was referring it as non-reglious including non-believers.
Oocchhh Sorry, I overlooked your post...
One Christian said to me at other thread several weeks ago "only Jews and Christians worship the same God of the Bible." and some Christians said to me "My God" which none of different religion beleivers said those word "My God", "Our God" or "only Jews and Christians worship the same God" but just word "God", "Lord" or "Jehovah".
Example: different religion beleivers like JW, Mormon, catholic, Luther etc would feel after view those word "Our God" or "My God", they receive from Christians mean is "their" (Christianity's) God is better than their religion's God. You worship a false god" - it look something that their God is better than yours. Muslim would offend if they heard those word "Our God" - for their view translation that "we all worship the same god" which they worship differently as any different religion beleivers.
The fact is that Christians and Muslims don't worship the same God. Christians worship a trainity God (3 in one), and Catholics are not worship a unitarian God, JW beleive in only one God and Jesus as Father and Son, and go on....
That's why I said in generally way "God is for everyone" or Just "God" which mean is respect their different beliefs.
Exactly, I would never say that it's their fault but show my respect what and how they stand what they beleive in. I have seen some religion beleivers said that it's their fault for become false religion to worship false. I tried to convince that it's not their fault but it's their cultural background where they raised to beleive in. I often said in my thread "Why do the people become atheist".
Yes, that's right. The problem is some religion beleivers believe differently and will view it as an offensive and would feel being insult. That's why I said in general way "God is for everyone" or "God"
