Interesting ..the Islamic way of war.

it would seem to be clear, that is because you were raised with the doctrine. Developed by the First Council of Nicea in 325 in response to another teaching that taught that Jesus was created by God not God himself. Trinity is the doctrine that declares Jesus God not created by God.

BTW: the council was all Catholic big c not little c. (giggle)

The concept of the trinity is that Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are one in three forms. The passage from John supports that. The Gospel of John is the Word of God. So, you believe the bible is the word of God or you do not, which is it?

And that's why I bail when the conversation moves to the "correctness" of any particular belief. The essence of faith is belief without reason. Far be it from me to question anyone else's faith given that mine rests on the same unreasoned foundation. The fact that our faiths differ is reason enough, in my mind, to preserve the secular independence of our government.

Absolutely.

My concern is when folks say "Well, the Bible says..." and it is a literal interpretation that works for the issue at hand. Then when a question is asked about another subject and a literal interpretation proves inconvienent, the response is more often than not "Well, what that passage really means is..."

Believe what you want to belive and be happy with it. I will believe what I want to belive and be happy with it. Don't let yours pass laws that are based on YOUR religious view when yours are in power and I won't let mine pass laws based on our religion when we are in power. It's that old "Do unto others thing" I read about some place...

Interesting Discussion Regards,

The essence of faith is belief without PROOF.

Keith,

I accept the correction although I suspect we are saying the same thing.

I guess I am missing your point. Trinity isn't a concept it is a doctrine.

So, you believe the bible is the word of God or you do not, which is it?

Why? Just because you say so?

I am waiting for you to surprise me Joe ..don't let me down man.

Hummm...while the word may be absent, the concept seems to be clear:

For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one." (1 John 5:7)

No Surprises Regards,


When my wife and I got married we became one flesh so it says.,,,,really I see 2

The book is a literal book, a figureative book,,, a book of customs and mannors,,,, a book with hundred of figures of speech we no longer use, a book filled with hebrew idiums

And some people think they can quote a verse and let it mean what they want.

IIPeter 1 :20 No proficy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.


Maby people should put the same effort in studying it ,,,as they put into reading blogs and zooming cyberspace.

So I guess you libs are all 4 the KKK being able to march in parades ,preach and send their beliefs over a loud speaker. And you would run in their defense if someone complained about it.

Yea I know I see the liberal media doing that all the time.

Its pretty ovious to tell when someone wants to quietly practice what they believe and obvious when people want to cause friction and divide.
