no you are sadly mistaken . the trinity is a blasphemy against God .


When a person is filled with the Spirit, who comes to dwell within him? 1
Corinthians 3:16 says,“Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that
the Spirit of God dwells in you?”2 Corinthians 13:5 says,“Do you not know
yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?”And Ephesians 4:6 says,“One God and
Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.”Are there three
divine persons living in us? No. Jesus is in us by His Spirit.

God is not three distinct divine persons. Neither does He have three identities, three
personalities, or three centers of consciousness. God is not three at all, GOD IS ONE!
The doctrine of the trinity was developed by philosophers attempting to explain the
God of the Bible using the ideas of Greek philosophy. But in Colossians 2:8-9 Paul
warns,“Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit,
according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and
not according to Christ. For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily....”

There is only one true Jesus.
Jesus is not the second person in the Godhead, He is....
the First and the Last
the Alpha and Omega7
the Beginning and the End
the Holy One of Israel
the Mighty God
the Everlasting Father
the King of kings, Lord of lords, God of gods.
In Him dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily and we are complete in Him.
For in all things He has the preeminence!
When John saw Jesus on the Isle of Patmos, the Lord said to him,“Do not be afraid; I am
the First and the Last. I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive
forevermore.”
There is good news for our world today! Jesus Christ is alive forevermore!
We should therefore obey the command of the Lord, who tells us,“Go into all the world
and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved;
but he who does not believe will be condemned”(Mark 16:15-16)

The only begotten Son of the one true God.

1 Cor 8:6) But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

1 Tim 2:5) For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

Rom 5:15) But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

In 1 Timothy 2:5 Paul wrote, “For there is one God and one Mediator between
God and men, the Man Christ Jesus....” Moses came to God through the flame; in
the same way Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to
the Father except through Me” (John 14:6). It is the Man, Christ Jesus, who is the
Mediator between God and man. As Peter wrote, “For Christ also suffered once
for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God” (1 Peter 3:18). Yet,
the Man is God Himself manifested in flesh, which means that God is His own
Mediator. He did not assign this role to another, but took it upon Himself. For
God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself—not to another but to
Himself.

there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one
Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live.”

If God is one, then why does Paul make this distinction between God the Father
and the Lord Jesus Christ? This sounds like at least two.
What we are talking about here is how we are to describe God and how to
understand Jesus. But because of verses such as this one, many people have a
difficult time understanding the Bible teachings about God and Jesus. So, in an
attempt to be better able to describe God, let’s look at some of the questions
people have asked concerning the teaching that God is one!

HEBREWS 5:7 SAYS that Jesus prayed“in the days of His flesh.”Psalms 65:2
says,“O You who hear prayer, to You all flesh will come.”When Jesus prayed, it
was not one divine person praying to another; it was flesh praying to Spirit,
humanity praying to Deity, Son praying to Father, man praying to God.
Why would one diving person need to pray to another? If that were what was
happening, then we would have to say that the second divine person was inferior to
the first divine person. That would mean that they are not coequal. But when we
understand that God was manifest in the flesh, then we realize that while He was in the
days of His flesh, Jesus had to do what all flesh must do: pray to the One who hears
prayer. Furthermore, He was being an example to us in how we ought to live for God.

Because they are different. God, the Father, is God. Jesus Christ is the Son of God, our savior, the messiah, a man.

One God, and one Lord Jesus Christ.

You present an interesting quandary for yourself. According to you there is only one God with only one Divine person, correct? So it logically follows that if Jesus is God and if God is only one Divine person while Jesus was on Earth God was not in Heaven, and therefore there was no one to hear his prayers. So that means you have to either deny that Jesus was Divine, admit that there is more than one Divine person, or come up with some convoluted explanation to explain how God can be in Heaven and simultaneously fully incarnate in the flesh as Jesus.

One God, and one Lord Jesus Christ.


God IS one. There is one God, the Father. Jesus Christ is the Son of God, our Lord.
you have totally taken my questions out of context and not read my answers that's why you do not understand.

keep believing that Jesus is not God and you will go know where the bible is very clear. and also many words that are used for the father are also used for the son e.g.http://mmoutreach.org/images/jesuschart1x.gif



explain why the scripture contexts that are applied to jehovah are also applied to jesus.
