    Good grief no wonder they hate you in the science forum.
    Well, this is the Spirituality Forum and I am allowed to use the Holy Bible for my beliefs here. But let me clarify that I am not saying "ONE" is the same as "THREE". I said three in one. We can have three persons in one car can't we? How about three persons in one family?

    How bout the fact the whole thing was just made up by men in the first place, could just as easily been a quartet of gods or a quintet. Or a Duo. Men love things in three's. You hear a story where the protagonist has to justify some action, and it is always three deals to explain his position. So it's not surprising your religious originators chose three halves of a god in a trinity. All man made of course.

    How about sticking to only what is written: "hear oh Israel The Lord your God is one".

    Not three in one
    Not a trinity
    Not triune

    one, singular, solitary member of the Godhead manifested several ways. Stick to scripture RJHinds, if something is not in there we may speculate, but not make doctrines out of that speculation, not revere it by capitalising it, and certainly not condemn those who contend against you for the truth over it.

    Don't forget that it was orginally written in Hebrew and the word for one in not the Hebrew word that only means a number one. The original Hebrew word actually used could mean a unity, like when Adam and Eve were said to have been joined in marriage as one flesh.

    Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

    (Genesis 2 :24)

    Also how would account for the fact that the Hebrew word translated as God in Genesis 1:26 is Elohim, which is the plural and plural pronouns are used? (See below)

    And God said, Let US make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea...

    Yes I am, but you are also very special. Have I not strived to teach the importance we all have as God's children. How he cherishes each of us and all that we do.

    I have been straight forward and honest, as prideful as those statements might seem.

    Maybe I unsettle you with my openness. Certainly no one else here claims to know God's voice (in triplicate 🙂 ).

    I know this is all hard to swallow, how unbelievable it can all sound. A guy claiming to be 'God's favored arrow'. (i put that in for a reason - Gfa). The catholic mystic thing, some call me that, but i am not one exactly, I am something different.

    In myself i am nothing, but in God - everything.

    Please excuse me for interrupting. Let me para-phase a bit to shorten the text
    John 1:1-18
    In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God and the Word was God.
    He was with God in the beginning.
    Through Him all things were made.
    The Word became flesh, and dwelt among us.
    No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is Himself God

    We are sticking to what is written, are we not?

    Nowhere in scripture are any of the following:

    - trinity (capitalised, revered, holy or otherwise)

    - triune

    - God in three persons

    - The eternal son

    Where these concepts do appear is in paganism and the council of Nicaea.

    Yes, you are prideful but you're not honest in my opinion.

    You generally talk nonsense on Christian matters and then frequently refuse to engage. For example your comment a few weeks ago "even Jesus had his demons" which I challenged you on a few times and you avoided. Of course you were "exhausted at the end of a long day".

    You're full of it.

    Those concepts are in the Holy Bible, especially revealed in the New Testament. Maybe you should read it, instead of spouting off nonsense about paganism, like the Jehovah's Witnesses.

    Can you really blame anyone for believing you are lying when you claim to have heard the voice of God. They call me stupid, a moron, an idiot, a fool, and a nut job for just saying I believing what the Holy Bible says about creation. And I have never even claimed to hear directly from God.

    However, I did claim to get these feeings at times that I believe might be some workings of the Holy Ghost, but that was dismissed as my imaginations, at best, and workings of the Devil, at worst. Very few, if any, believe that I am a Christian, because I attack them as strongly as they attack me. They claim a Christian would lay down and roll over for them.

    Witness Lee teaches the heretical doctrine that the Son is actually the same Person as the Father and the same Person as the Holy Ghost, which sonship agrees with. On the other hand, I agree with the orthodox Christian Doctrines of the Trinity and the Incarnation.

    Good grief, of course it isn't. It is evidence that -- the name of the father and of the son and of the Holy Spirit is Jesus Christ.

    There is one entity in the godhead as is clearly stated in scripture a hundred times: hear oh Israel The Lord your god is ONE.

    That person is currently represented as Jesus Christ because that is the name given by which we may access god and be saved.

    You know you are not going to send me a million dollars, so why say such a thing? There is not one place that has all those idea together in one place. It requires many sciptures that are used together to actually see it. Why don't you look for them yourself and keep the million dollars with a clear conscience.
