And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to GOD."
You won't find the word, "BIBLE" in the Bible.Looks like you are having trouble in finding a single scripture that says 'three separate persons make up one God'. The trinity doctrine is not Christian, therefore, you will not find the phrase in any Bible.
How does this prove Jesus to be God if he has a Father? Where is the three separate persons make up one God? You don't even believe Jesus Christ do you?
Absolutely.Save that those passages denote Monotheism. Not tritheism.

FATHERLooks like you are having trouble in finding a single scripture that says 'three separate persons make up one God'. The trinity doctrine is not Christian, therefore, you will not find the phrase in any Bible.
No, it isn't . Not even by definition.Absolutely.
Trinitarianism IS Monotheism: ONE God revealed in THREE distinct Persons, as those verses show.
It's a stumbling block for those who lack faith.
WOW.BreadOfLife
Like I said, you couldn't find a single scripture.
It appears that you are simply throwing blind punches in the dark at this point since your entire Trinitarian case just collapsed under the weight of Scripture . . .
"Separated" from Himself??No, it isn't . Not even by definition.
Defining God as three separate and distinct person's is not a one God theology.
When "God" is holy spirit and did not become separated from himself when in The Word form of Immanuel, being that Immanuel was, as all things in creation, of and from God, there was and remains but one holy spirit that we label, God.
Matt. 10:22
But he that shall deny me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven.
That doesn't really help state what IS believed.best explanation I have come to read in all my years....
The Doctrine of the Trinity: No Christianity Without It
Sometimes it’s easier to understand what we believe by stating what we don’t believe.
- Orthodox Trinitarianism rejects monarchianism which believes in only one person (mono) and maintains that the Son and the Spirit subsists in the divine essence as impersonal attributes not distinct and divine Persons.
- Orthodox Trinitarianism rejects modalism which believes that Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are different names for the same God acting in different roles or manifestations (like the well-intentioned but misguided “water, vapor, ice” analogy).
- Orthodox Trinitarianism rejects Arianism which denies the full deity of Christ.
- And finally, orthodox Trinitarianism rejects all forms of tri-theism, which teach that the three members of the Godhead are, to quote a leading Mormon apologist, “three distinct Beings, three separate Gods.”
Are you saved by your ability to pass a theology test?The goal of the trinity was first to remove God's Name from scripture. Then to deny Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. The three in one is not a Bible teaching. They will pretty much post any post and say, See See See the three persons make up one God. John1:1 doesn't state three separate persons make one God as they claim.
Anyways there is no salvation in the trinity, it's powerless. Have you ever read (2 john 1:7)? Maybe you should and avoid the trinity like the plague... take care.
God help you. Amen."Separated" from Himself??
Where do you get this stuff because it is certainly NOT Christian teaching.
The fact that YOU can't accept that Almighty God can reveal Himself in Three Persons simply shows the level of your faith.
And the fact that you turn a blind eye to the tumultuous Scriptural evidence presented shows the level of your spiritual pride.
Matt. 10:22
But he that shall deny me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven.
Good luck with that . . .
Indeed. We will never reach such ones you realize?BreadOfLife
Like I said, you couldn't find a single scripture.

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the LORD (God Jehovah Isa 44:6; Gen 17:1; Exo 6:3 ), which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. (Rev 1:8)
Translators not only removed God's Name but also removed GOD from latter revisions. Replacing it with LORD because that's what they did.... and that deception did not go far enough so they took LORD and made it into a little Lord ... (Rev 1:8)
No - He is telling all of YOU who deny who He is before men - that HE will deny YOU before the Father.The scripture your using is an anti-trinitarian scripture. No three in One here...
Now there's an intelligent response . . .God help you. Amen.
Our deluded friend, @BroRando is under the false belief that "Jehovah" is God's name - and refuses to accept the fact that it is simply a word invented by 13th century Spanish monk, Raymundo Martini.What translators are you referring to here, and when did they supposedly "remove God's name" from latter revisions?
