This is a very sensitive subject matter but I feel needs to be exposed - the Bible lets us know that "Holy men of God" were inspired by the Holy Ghost to write the Books that make up the Bible - I do not pretend to be one of them but ...I was born again (water and Spirit) 30 years ago and live my life in the doctrine of Jesus Christ - and I specify that because there are 2 doctrines - God's and man's interpretation(s) of God's - the latter, subject to the influences in our lives (parents, teachers, friends, environment etc.) - prompts the question: "How can we know what God's doctrine is?" Let me begin......there are also..... 2 "kinds" of Christians ...those that readily believe that God is ONE but....made up of 3 entities (no other way to put it) ....the Trinity....not found in the Bible...and in the time of Christ on earth not even conceived....that's why the disciples had no trouble believing what they'd been taught to believe all their lives, from infancy......told day after day..."Hear O Israel, the Lord our God is ONE Lord".....why do you think Jehovah had them say that to their children from the day they were born? Because He knew that the time would come, when man would believe a "man doctrine" that would teach that He was a triune entity.....and that day didn't come until 300 years after Christ was risen at a council in Nicea by a group of men (no mention that they were holy men of God)....The Bible tells us that "God is the same, yesterday, today and forever." So tell me this; why would He tell his people for thousands of years that He was ONE (use terms like "no other beside me, I ALONE, before Abraham I AM etc.") ....never even imply that He had a Son and...and a Holy Ghost?????? with Him...and come along at a council 300 years (no less) after Christ left the earth only to tell them that "by the way, there are 3 of us here but we still only make up ONE)? say what?... a change? but I thought He didn't change ...Oops ....then we have those that believe that God really is ONE who MANIFESTED Himself as a man so that he could reconcile the world back to himself on a cross (shed blood - a Spirit cannot shed blood but, a man can) - Just like He was able to manifest Himself as a burning bush, an angel, a bird, a pillar of fire, a cloud by day, a fourth in the fiery furnace, He manifested himself as a MAN but didn't change who he was - the terms Father and Son are terms used to accomodate our finite minds - that's why the Bible tells us that he was BEGOTTEN in time (at some point in time God became Man in the person of Jesus Christ) but wait.....I'll tell you why most people don't get all that....it has to be revealed....the natural mind cannot grasp it (I Cor 2:14) ...these things have to be REVEALED to those that really want to know the TRUTH (the whole TRUTH) and not some interpretation of IT. I have so much more on the subject...if you want more.....and you have the heart of a seeker...let me know..I'll e-mail you some fascinating insights into this erroneous TRINITY......Paul
