the passage you posted makes no mention of one must believe the trinity to receive salvation.
Hi thanks for the reply.
I believe that passage( 2 Corinthians 2:5) is more in how we come or hear God to that conclusion, there are differences.
The scriptures do not inform us to trust in a trinity without any understanding on how a person could come to that conclusion.
Indirectly the verse I offered is the foundation of coming to what I believe is a proper conclusion, if a person is following walking by faith and not by sight to the end of the matter. A clear distinction must be made .It’s not part by faith (the unseen) the other half walking by sight(as that seen) as if we did know Christ, the anointing Holy Spirit of God after the rudiments of this world.
When speaking of the divinity of Jesus the Christ. Believing in the what some call the trinity depending on how they come to their conclusion the verse I offed I believe is the foundation of coming to a proper manner of spirit.
We do not look to the flesh of Christ as part the conclusion of deity. Christ in the flesh could not profit .Although in His Spirit it did.
Those who walked away in John 6 walked in unbelief (no faith).They were walking by sight in a hope it could profit. They rejected Jesus as the wrong prophet according to the parable (drink blood) because they thought he would come and wipe out what they thought was the competition .It’s what walking by sight promotes. Out of sight out of mind, murder the competition was the spirit of antichrist during the first century reformation. It is the same standard as the fifteenth century refomation.(not a revival) . Again it was the foundation for the fall in which the serpent became the god of this world.
Christ in that way said now you see me what happens if I decide to go where I came form?
What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. Joh 6:62
This is just as some denominations today whether in part mixing that seen with that not seen or the whole of the flesh as the bases of their doctrines. The Catholics would be the extreme example. they followed the fathers (Christ's nemesis) in respect to the Apostate Jews who also walked by sight.. They have their man made doctrines based on what they call the Real Presence in order to take away the spiritual authority of the scriptures as the correct manner of spirit.(walking by faith) .
Christ in respect to His flesh which could never profit resisted all forms of worship . When approached as God in respect to His flesh Christ would direct the attention away from what is seen and reply :"only God is good" to make that point.It does not mean he was any less God .But God has no form . The form was for a one time demonstration according to the old testament prophesy . Never again, forever more to appear in an outward form.
