How can we be 100% sure that God is not the same god in other religions?

[megaman125]

Because according to Christianity, I should not be concerned with just MY salvation?

According to Christianity and the Bible? Yes. But you aren't a Christian/don't follow the Bible, so it would be rather illogical to be concerned and wanting others to come to a relationship with Jesus when you don't have one yourself.

I know I'm already a lost cause? I know that God hates me?

Who told you these lies?

So..... not really sure what else you want me to say. If we're to follow the Bible and God's Words as law, then yes, we have to read the technicalities of it as well.

It's fine to ask questions, it's another thing to search for ridiculous technicalities not for the sake of learning something, but for the sake of painting a picture.

So then how can we be sure that ours is the exact written word? What about the Catholic Bible? It has books that Protestants took out.

By testing it.

The Bible was written redundantly...so that even if large portions of it were to disappear, the original message would still be intact.

 

[resurrection33]

Yes I am, because it is a description.


That is one usage of the word. Unitarian Universalists, are an example.


The vast majority of churches are trinitarian.

Lutheran
Reformed
Baptist
Methodist
Most pentecostals
Restorationists
... and many more...


There are some select few individuals, among those groups such as yourself who reject the Trinitarian God of which there is only one being, and one being is all that trinitarianism has ever affirmed.

The UMC includes in it's "Articles of Religion" this statement:

Article I—Of Faith in the Holy Trinity
There is but one living and true God, everlasting, without body or parts, of infinite power, wisdom, and goodness; the maker and preserver of all things, both visible and invisible. And in unity of this Godhead there are three persons, of one substance, power, and eternity—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.

You are a minority in your own denomination.

Jimmy, here is the Trinity:

God, the Father, is our God, our Lord and Savior.

God decided to become a human being for a time, so he became Jesus Christ, the Son. While he was walking the earth as Jesus Christ, he continued being God, the Father.

When God talks to us, we call him the Holy Spirit.

This is actually supposed to be at thread about who the God of other religions is. Maybe you should start a thread about the Trinity.

 

[resurrection33]

That is not what trinitarians believe. Say it and wish it all you want, but it is not true.

My belief is that God is one being, just like you and me, though he is God and we are human. You Trinitarians keep saying I am wrong.

 

[resurrection33]

Ow, didn't we go over this already? English definition of the word means

u·ni·tar·i·an
/&#716;yo&#862;oni&#712;te(&#601r&#275;&#601;n/
Noun
A person, esp. a Christian, who asserts the unity of God and rejects the doctrine of the Trinity.

He called me a Modalist, or some such thing.

Methodists are Trinitarian.

No. We believe in one God who simultaneously is a Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, just as a man can simultaneously be a father, son, and husband. Actually, it hardly ever comes up in the churches I’ve belonged to. We pray to one God, and ONLY one God, the God of Abraham.

As I told Jimmy, this started out as a thread about who the God of different religions was. Why not start a thread about the Trinity?

 

[resurrection33]

If you are not Trinitarian, then you are not Methodist, either.

No, the United Methodist Church does not believe in three Gods. It believes in one God, and even if it did believe in three Gods, I would believe in just one God.

 

[resurrection33]

Moses was Trinitarian.

I’m not aware of any evidence that suggests that. In the Bible he talks only to God, the Father. I don't recall him having any conversations with any other Gods.

 

[Bowman]

It is little wonder that you reject the Trinity as you describe it to be...as this is not the Trinity.

Keep fighting that straw-man, bro!

You are becoming a broken record, brother.

Seems you are running on sheer opinion at this point...not on scripture.

 

[Bowman]

Since you think the Trinity is three Gods for some bizarre reason, then defend your assertion scripturally.

Show us scripture mandating that God is the result of counted things.

Good luck....

Your knowledge scripture is weak indeed.

Who did Moses speak to in the Burning Bush...?

One God, not three, bro!

It’s just that your assertion that there are three Gods makes me uncomfortable.

It’s just that your assertion that there are three Gods makes me uncomfortable.

Please quote where any trinitarian in this forum has said there are three Gods.

I don’t have to defend my position that there is only one God.

He spoke to God, the Father. When God is speaking to us, we sometimes refer to him as the Holy Spirit, if you want to be technical about it.

That's your assertion.

Now prove it.

 

[resurrection33]

I say there is one God, and you say I am in error. By process of elimination, you must be saying that there is more than one God, presumably three.

 

[resurrection33]

That's your assertion.

Now prove it.

I believe there is one God. If you agree, then we can end this here.
