" Thus says Jehovah,
Heaven is My throne And the earth is the footstool of My feet. Where then is the house that you will build unto Me, and where is the place of My rest?
For all these things My hand has made, And so all these things have come into being, declares Jehovah.
But to this kind of man will I look, to him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who tremble at My word." (Isa. 66:1,2)
" Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?" (1 Cor. 3:16)

Triune means - three-one.
Don't harden your heart by calling this revelation "mumbo jumbo."
Originally posted by divegeesterLet me ask you then. Do you know how the Israelite priests used the Urim and the Thummin to have God speak to them and guide them ?

The word "triune" is not a "revelation" either, that is just you being pompous. It's not even in the Bible, it's just man made error.

Let me ask you then. Do you know how the Israelite priests used the [b]Urim and the Thummin to have God speak to them and guide them ?
If you know how they used the breastplate of the high priest with the Urim and the Thummin to give them spiritual guidance please tell me in what chapter of the Hebrew canon this is revealed.
The ...[text shortened]... e Thummim themselves of the priest's ephod are mentioned in (Ex. 28:15–30; Lev. 8:8). [/b]

Divegeester and others cry "No word Trinity mentioned in the Bible!". Yes, they are correct. That word does not appear in the Scriptures.
However, God guided the people into the Old Testament with the [b]Urim and the Thummim of the priest's breastplate. Yet we are not told in the Hebrew canonical Scriptures HOW this was done. We do have some ...[text shortened]... inity"[/b]. But if not, the FACT of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is still entirely biblical.[/b]
Originally posted by divegeesterIf you ignore my questions about these verses, perhaps you hope they will just kind of evaporate from the New Testament ?
No.
Hear oh Israel the Lord your God is ONE.
Not "three", not "triune", not "trinity", not "three-one" not another maner of man-made explaination for the mystery of the Godhead.
He is "ONE". Singular, solitary, "besides him there is NO other , alone, unique, complete and fully revealed in the flesh, "the right arm laid bare" in Jesus Christ. ...[text shortened]... y to another". He is the ONE and the same entity in whatever office or manifestation he chooses.

" Jesus answered and said to him, If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word, and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make an abode with him." (John 14:23)
"And when Solomon had finished praying the fire came down from heaven and devoured the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of Jehovah filled the house.
And the priests were not able to enter the house of Jehovah, for the glory of Jehovah filled the house of Jehovah.
And all the children of Israel, seeing the fire coming down and the glory of Jehovah upon the house, bowed down on the pavement with their faces to the ground and worshipped and thanked Jehovah saying. For He is good; for His livingkindness endures forever." ( 2 Chron. 7:1-3)
"And the priests were not able to stand and minister because of the cloud, for the glory of Jehovah filled the house of Jehovah."
" Being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the cornerstone; In whom all the building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord;
In whom you also are being built together into a dwelling place of God in spirit." (Eph. 2:20-22)

As believers in Christ we should want God to complete His economy of dispensing Himself into man.
We believers love that revelation of God being one. But we should also love the revelation that to dispense Himself into His redeemed people He Who is One is also the Divine [b]"We" and the Divine "Us".
Divegeester, are you hoping those passages will just fade away ?[/b]

That's it. Every single thing you teach about the trinity is man made error, because the trinity teaching itself is error. It permeates all your thinking rendering your ministry ineffective.
" Moreover, in like manner the Spirit also joins in to help us in our weakness, for we do not know for what we should pray as is fitting,
but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
But He [ the Father ] who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He [ the Spirit] intercedes for the saints according to God." ( Rom. 8:26,27)
