@APAK

Because you reject the WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE, "flesh and blood" is the only thing you guys have right now.

Here is your "flesh and blood" confusion = "the Word was a god"

"the Word was a god" = only comes from SIN
What are you saying...moving on..bye for now

“For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. ”
2 Corinthians 8:9 KJV
Unfeigned Bible
I don't get it. This you offer an explicit text saying Jesus is an eternal being? I guess you have a "anything will do" standard.

So, if one actually believes God's Word... they are a dreaded "Trinitarian" View attachment 56063

1 John 5:7
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.


Concerning the trinity... the Father, the Son, and the Spirit... are One!

Pretty hard to explain away something scripture clearly tells us which is... One is Three, and the Three are One.
Hang in there bud... maybe you'll get it someday! View attachment 56061





Oh my... you'll be "moving on" View attachment 56062.... as in giving up understanding 1 John 5:7???

1 John 5:7
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.


Concerning the trinity... the Father, the Son, and the Spirit... are One!

Pretty hard to explain away something scripture clearly tells us which is... One is Three, and the Three are One.





2 Corinthians 11:3
I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

Taking God at His Word is apparently too tough for some to handle...
Oh man you want to really take your time enjoying your cheap fast-food main course dinner with me.....oh well

Look let me get to the chase...1 John 5:7 is a blatant forgery. Do the research and educate yourself....stop showing your ignorance here...

The term "Holy Trinity" refers to the Father, the Word (Son), and the Holy Spirit, and They are in Scripture: "Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit [...]" (Matt. 28:19),
The passage you reference does not discuss the Holy Trinity as you defined it. Jesus' instructions concerning baptism focus on the sources of teaching: God the Father, The son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. He wants his apostles to know and understand that when they baptize, they are not making disciples for themselves, they make disciples for God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit because all three of them speak the same exact message. Jesus said that he speaks only what the Father tells him to speak and that the Holy Spirit only speaks what Jesus speaks.

As Paul the Apostle says, God spoke to his generation through Jesus, the man.

Hebrews 1:1-2 God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world.

Here, Paul is talking about the man Jesus, who is not a supposed second person of a God-being. He is a human being who is the exact representation of God.

and therefore your statement that the Holy Trinity isn't in Scripture is false. It seems that you meant to word your statement as "My understanding of the concept of the Holy Trinity being three separate gods isn't in Scripture", and that would've been true, because the Holy Trinity isn't three separate gods.
The point is this. The Bible never explicitly defines God as a single being of three distinct persons. That concept is a theory, which attempts to interpret the New Testament in light of Plato's philosophy.

Amen, you be blessed brother.

(And since you mentioned Revelation I just want to mention that Revelation is a kind of reiteration and summing up of everything in scripture that came before it. We need to see that book in light of all the earlier scrips, not the other way around. Much of what is written in Rev is already found in the earlier scriptures.)
LOVE LOVE LOVE that you SEE this @Lizbeth

JESUS is the WORD that was Elohim in the Beginning = Genesis/WORD thru to Revelation/WORD

"IAM the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End"

More to the point, the trinity contradicts Scripture's definition of God being a single person. Try to construct a stronger antitrinitarian formula in as few a words as there is one God, the Father.

To listen to trinitarians, all we have is these vague verses that require us to read into it. The truth is the opposite. God's name is YHWH, not Jesus.

unbelief is not faith . belief in the doctrines of men rather than belief in the Word and words of GOD
is deadly .
As i am sure you do agree .
Many need to go and examine exactly WHY the israelites were not allowed to ENTER IN ........
UNBELIEF .
And we all might want to remember something . They could lip and claim GOD
but when it came to trusting in HIS word , HIS promise , they failed . And due to fear
of man , of the inhabitants of the land , and THUS NOT BELEIVING GOD , HIS PROMISE they would inherit it
IT was counted to them as unbelief and they wandered the desert
till that generation Died in the wilderness . BELIEF if GOD , IN CHRIST , entails
BELIEVING HIS WORDS . If a man cannot trust what is written , That man does not trust IN GOD
who inspired the very truth recorded in that bible .
Many can lip the name , but many trust in what men say and teach about HIM , rather than THE TRUTH ITSELF that is written .
And that is deadly .

Many trust in men my friend . And in this last hour
all will merge as one under another image of what they beleive is God , is love .
Many have a problem with what is written . This is not a good sign .
Many who are of us within christendom are not truly His .
Its becoming very evident as many are now headed right into another gospel , WHICH is no gospel .
They cannot even BELIEVE the WORDS of JESUS and how he warned what would occur
unto those who beleived not . and many other such things have they done with HIS words .
This is a very bad sign and it proves what is written
Not all of israel IS of ISRAEL , not all of christendom is of Christ .
The only thing we can do is continue to warn and to do all to get this people
back into the scriptures for themselves . With the motto , LET GOD be TRUE but every man a liar .
This generation whose trust be in men is cursed . But HE whose hope be in GOD is blessed .
IT really is bible time .

It seems that your understanding may not fully align with the explanation I've provided regarding the Biblical expression of plurality in relation to God and His manifestations. Revisit this explanation would help clarify how God is expressed and works through different agencies.

If you have any queries relating to that post fire away!

F2F

This isn't about me, but rather about you and the words that you chose to say. You said that Scripture shows "a plurality, united as one" regarding God. That concept of "plurality within unity" means "multiple, distinct, elements, or parts that coexist within a single, unified whole, essentially signifying diversity existing harmoniously within a single entity; it highlights the concept of many different aspects coming together to form one cohesive unit." An example of "plurality within unity", from a philosophical perspective, is the substance of water, because it exists in multiple states, each distinct, united as one because they are the same substance: water. Was the concept of "plurality, united as one" what you intended to apply to God, or did you misspeak?

God spoke through the Holy prophets .
And by HIS Spirit they did testify .
And now a word
The SPIRIT of CHRIST which was in them did testify of His sufferings and etc .
GOD really IS HIS SPIRIT and HIS WORD and HIS WORD and SPIRIT be HE .
Raise those hands and praise the glorious LORD .

Two questions for you, and they are post-graduate level questions IMO. And it's Ok if the answers are difficult to reach, let alone the questions themselves easy to understand:
1, How can Jesus be God if he was/had to be filled with God's Spirit?
2. Are you sure that the spirit of Christ was present with the prophets or were they temporarily adjoined to the Spirit of God only, and it was absent of the spirit of Christ at that time, until it was created and given to Jesus by the time of his birth?

Jeremiah 23:25-27 (NIV):

"I have heard what the prophets say who prophesy lies in my name: 'I had a dream! I had a dream!' How long will this continue in the hearts of these lying prophets, who prophesy the delusions of their own minds? They think the dreams they tell one another will make my people forget my name, just as their ancestors forgot my name through Baal worship."

Apparently, you don't know what a spokesperson is. Maria Valtorta was a spokesperson because she wrote down the words of the Father, the Word (Son), and the Holy Spirit. Their words.
And what was the message?

Even if i answer this you will not hear it .
FOR IF YOU HEAR not the TRUTH in scripture that GOD INSPIRED
but rather heed men who twisted it , you aint gonna hear the TRUTH i say .
THE KEY to knowing whether or not what we hear is of men , is of our own minds , is of another spirit
OR REALLY IS OF GOD is this , DID WE HAVE TO TWIST and omit things in the scriptures .
The KEY is if what we know , what we think we know contradicts that which is written THEN ITS A LIE .
And beleive you me , we have more scholars out their who use greek
who use hermunetics , who use exgegis , who use a lot of stuff
and THEY disagree with one the other . BUT THOSE WHO SIT UNDER THEM HOLD TO THEM .
in other words , men have always desired the one thing that ALONE was to be given to GOD and not man .
THE GLORY , THE PRE EMEININCE , the desire for power and control , the desire to be seen of men
In other words , A TON of what has infiltrated and created many sects within christendom , CAME OF MEN BUD .
NOT GOD
And as always men of every age whose desire was to please themselves
Will and do create a way that will always please their flesh .
IF what we do and say , if what we teach , be contrary to what is written , FRIEND I got real bad news , IT AINT COMINGFROM GOD
its coming from ya mind , from men ,
No man here knows and understands all . SO THE KEY IS
OPEN BIBLE again , BELEIVE AS DO A CHILD that what you are reading IS TRUTH
BELEIVE as do a child that you dONT HAVE TO RUN TO MEN , TO GREEK , to learn it
BELIEVE AS DO A CHILD that ITS TRUTH . The understanding will come in time . at least enough understanding
to continue to grow our faith .
YOU sat under men or etc WHO TWISTED THE WORD . HOW DO I KNOW THIS
cause your version of JESUS dont add up
to IN THE BEGINNING was the WORD and GOD IS THE WORD .
rather it adds up too , In the beginning was a word and this word ............
IN other words , YOU are contradicting what is written .
SAME WORD , SAME JESUS , said I AM ALPHA and OMEGA ,
rather odd you seem to omit even that .
Its very true i did not understand things i read at first . BUT I BELIEVED THEM . YOU SEEM NOT TO HAVE EVER
BELEIVED IT AT ALL and that is why you were led as you were led .
NOW that is also a key sign . cause i aint no better than you my friend .
SO what is this sign i speak about . TRUTH .
TRUTH . what is truth , EVERY WORD OF GOD IS TRUTH
We got an ocean of those words in that bible . the question is do we believe what is written
OR are we beliving what men SAY about what is written as they twist and twist and twist .
