I'm now commenting on the born again scripture . Not the trinity .
Not to nit pick . But I see a a issue in your reasoning about the ; being born again, scripture. The English Bible should not be your final authority on a matter. But you should consult the manuscripts we have of the Bible.
You can do this with a Strong's Concordance of the King James Bible.
I think that we can be in agreement that if one idea, is wrong, and we see that idea as sure or true, that one little thought can be used to help guide us or lead us to the next. But if the initial assumption was in wrong; it can lead us off course. The farther we travel from there. the farther away from our destination we become.
To use this scripture as an example :
John 3:1-21 (KJV)
3 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Let me see now, what this word actually is in the Greek it was taken from :
again :
anwqen
anothen
an'-o-then
from anw - ano 507; from above; by analogy, from the first; by implication, anew:--from above, again, from the beginning (very first), the top.
Now lets re read this :
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man first be born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
What does above mean ?
Gen1:
Let us make man in Our,,, image. Where did your soul come from ? Well it came from God. All souls belong to God-(Ezekiel 18:4)
The angels that were not born from above, of women in the water of the womb, left their place in heaven, and fell from above that Jude plainly teaches-(Jude 1:6)
Christ is saying, you must be born from above,from heaven to the water of the womb, to even participate in Salvation.
Not as the angels did in Gen 6:
So you see. if your not careful it is easy to be lead from the truth as so many in the world are. This is a small illustration of the confusion people are in now. This is not the worst of it.
