do you see three here..all things ....but no three....The trinity ("trinitas" adopted from the church father Tertullian) is a biblical doctrine, though the word itself is not in the bible. Theologically considered it is in reference to the fact that in one way God is one, but in another way He is three. His is not a simple oneness, as the Oneness Pentecostals teach but a complex oneness. He is one when we talk about his essence, or essential nature, but he is three when we talk about his consciousness. Manifestation or office is too weak a word and is often used by modalistic monarchians or what used to be known as Sabellians. They taught that God was the father in the Old Testament, the Son in the New Testament and is now the Holy Spirit. For this reason United Pentecostals (Oneness) do not believe you can be born again unless you speak in tongues. Sabellianism is a heresy. It is heretical because it means Jesus engaged in intentional deception when he prayed in the garden to the Father. See: John 17. He was actually praying to himself, since the throne of heaven was empty while he was on earth. Christ lied, and therefore he sinned. Therefore he is not holy.
Moreover, Acts 5 makes it clear that Ananias and Saphirra did not lie to a lampshade, but to God, who is called the Holy Spirit. Since, the Holy Spirit is called God, and Christ is called God (John 1:1; 8:58; 10:30 with Isa. 9:6 and Micah 5:1,2 and obviously the father is god, yet there is one god (Deut, 6:4) there are three consciousnesses (persons) in the godhead. This is not limiting God, since He reveals Himself in this manner. It is no matter limiting God than refusing to call God she. Never is a feminine pronoun used in reference to God, but "Holy Spirit" is neuter and is referred to by another pronoun in the masculine.
Reject the trinity, knowingly, understandingly, intentionally, and you cannot be a Christian. If deity did not die for us, then his life does not have infinite value, nor his death. Therefore his life/death did not propitiate the father for the eternal guilt of the smallest sin, for the smallest sin deserves eternal punishment in hell. If the Holy Spirit is not God then He cannot unite all believers into one body, a relationship that is above time and space. This requires omnipotence, and omniscience, since union with Christ is the guarantee that the body of every believer every where and every time will be resurrected and glorified. Including the bodies of those who have decayed into their constituent atoms. The Holy Spirit knows and has numbered every single atom and molecule that makes up the believers' bodies and will reconstitute and transform it at the day of judgement. This requires omniscience and omnipotence. Yet God is one. Without the trinity the plan of salvation of the one true god, cannot be executed. Therefore the doctrine of the trinity is essential to genuine christianity. Formal heretics simply deny what they do not understand, and could therefore be born again but confused greater. Material heretics do understand orthodox doctrine but reject it outright because of a hatred of the truth.

Your logic is a pathetic farce, as usual...
Show us ANY scripture that contradicts that Jesus drove a Harley....
well it is either we are both blind or trinitarians are seeing things....because I don't see it either.....and no trinitarian can explain it to me....
sanctify means to set apart for holy use...it is not a process...it is a placement.....it is either you are set apart or not ...one cannot be partly set apart....

You need THE HOLY SPIRIT IN YOU, AND a born again human spirit in you to understand, because the deep things of GOD can only be understood with that born again spiritual mind; not the mind between your ears:
1 Corinthians 2:10-16 (NIV)
[SUP]10 [/SUP] but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
[SUP]11 [/SUP] For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.
[SUP]12 [/SUP] We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us.
[SUP]13 [/SUP] This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.
[SUP]14 [/SUP] The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. {<--- With that born again spiritual mind.}
[SUP]15 [/SUP] The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgment:
[SUP]16 [/SUP] "For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him?" But we have the mind of Christ.
Which..in no way denies that He rode a Harley at other times....
are you saying a christian is not sanctified yet the process is going on so it is possible some may have died half or three quarts sanctified....you are not fully sanctified so if you die this moment what happens since you are not fully sanctified??? you are just opposed to whatever I say and make responses without even thinking it through....go through your lifelong process bro ...if you are in a process you cannot do this...only those who are already sanctified canQUOTE:
SANCTIFICATION
Process of being made holy resulting in a changed lifestyle for the believer. The English word “sanctification” comes from the Latin sanctificatio, meaning the act or process of making holy, consecrated.
Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary.
QUOTE:
Sanctification
Involves more than a mere moral reformation of character, brought about by the power of the truth: it is the work of the Holy Spirit bringing the whole nature more and more under the influences of the new gracious principles implanted in the soul in regeneration. In other words, sanctification is the carrying on to perfection the work begun in regeneration, and it extends to the whole man (Rom 6:13; 2Co 4:6; Col 3:10; 1Jn 4:7; 1Co 6:19). It is the special office of the Holy Spirit in the plan of redemption to carry on this work (1Co 6:11; 2Th 2:13). Faith is instrumental in securing sanctification, inasmuch as it (1) secures union to Christ (Gal 2:20), and (2) brings the believer into living contact with the truth, whereby he is led to yield obedience "to the commands, trembling at the threatenings, and embracing the promises of God for this life and that which is to come."
Perfect sanctification is not attainable in this life (1Ki 8:46; Prov 20:9; Eccl 7:20; Jas 3:2; 1Jn 1:8). See Paul's account of himself in Rom 7:14-25; Php 3:12-14; 1Ti 1:15; also the confessions of David (Ps 19:12, 13; Ps 51), of Moses (Ps 90:8), of Job (Job 42:5, 6), and of Daniel (Dan 9:3-20). "The more holy a man is, the more humble, self-renouncing, self-abhorring, and the more sensitive to every sin he becomes, and the more closely he clings to Christ. The moral imperfections which cling to him he feels to be sins, which he laments and strives to overcome. Believers find that their life is a constant warfare, and they need to take the kingdom of heaven by storm, and watch while they pray. They are always subject to the constant chastisement of their Father's loving hand, which can only be designed to correct their imperfections and to confirm their graces. And it has been notoriously the fact that the best Christians have been those who have been the least prone to claim the attainment of perfection for themselves."
Illustrated Bible Dictionary: And Treasury of Biblical History, Biography, Geography, Doctrine, and Literature.
Philippians 1:6 (HCSB)
[SUP]6 [/SUP] I am sure of this, that He who started a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
Sanctification is a lifelong process of physically becoming more and more like Christ. HAVING BEEN {past tense} Sanctified spiritually by the blood of the lamb, we enter the lifelong process of sanctifying the body.

Scriptures does not teach the Holy Ghost sits on the left of the Father, does not change the Truth that the Holy Ghost sits on the left side of the Father.

if scripture does not teach that truth...where did you get that truth....??? if it does not come from scripture it does not come from God...and therefore not truth...
