.. SIR OF YOU DIE BELIEVING IN THE TRINITY, YOU ARE GOONG TO HELL. ...

Is it a sin to say that Christ was one with the disciples, even when Christ is their God? Or that a husband and wife are one, even when the husband is older than the wife?

Your unreasonability and foolishness is what is going to take you to hell.

The Truth About God and Jesus

Although humans worship many gods, there is only one true God. (John 17:3)

He is “the Supreme One,” the Creator of everything and the Source of all life. He alone is worthy of our worship.​—Daniel 7:18; Revelation 4:11.

What Is God’s Name?

God himself says: “I am Jehovah. That is my name.” (Isaiah 42:8 )

The personal name of God appears some 7,000 times in the Bible. However, many Bible translations improperly substitute this name with a title, such as “Lord.”

God wants you to be his friend, so he encourages you to “call on his name.”​—Psalm 105:1.

Jehovah’s Titles.

The Bible refers to Jehovah by such titles as “God,” “Almighty,” “Creator,” “Father,” “Lord,” and “Sovereign.” Many prayers are recorded in the Bible in which Jehovah is addressed by both a respectful title and his personal name, Jehovah.​—Daniel 9:4.

God’s Form.

God is an invisible spirit. (John 4:24) The Bible confirms that “no man has seen God.” (John 1:18)

The Bible reveals his feelings. People can cause him grief, or they can “bring pleasure to him.”​—Proverbs 11:20; Psalm 78:40, 41.

God’s Wonderful Attributes.

God is impartial toward people of all nations and backgrounds. (Acts 10:34, 35) He is also “merciful and comionate, slow to anger and abundant in loyal love and truth.” (Exodus 34:6, 7) However, four attributes of God are especially appealing.

Power.

Since he is “God Almighty,” he has unlimited power to accomplish whatever he promises.​—Genesis 17:1.

Wisdom.

God’s wisdom sures that of anyone else. In that sense the Bible says that he “alone is wise.”​—Romans 16:27.

Justice.

God always does what is right. His actions are “perfect,” and he “is never unjust.”​—Deuteronomy 32:4.

Love.

The Bible says that “God is love.” (1 John 4:8 ) Not only does God show love​—he is the very personification of love. His superlative love influences everything he does, and it benefits us in many ways.

God’s Friendship With Humans.

God is our loving heavenly Father. (Matthew 6:9) If we put faith in him, we can be his friends. (Psalm 25:14) In fact, God invites you to draw close to him in prayer and to “throw all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you.”​—1 Peter 5:7; James 4:8.

What Is the Difference Between God and Christ?


Jesus Is Not God. Jesus is unique​—he is the only person created directly by God. That is why the Bible calls him God’s Son. (John 1:14)

After creating Jesus, Jehovah used his firstborn as “a master worker” to create everything and everyone else.​—Proverbs 8:30, 31; Colossians 1:15, 16.

Jesus Christ never claimed to be God. Instead, he explained: “I am a representative from [God], and that One sent me.” (John 7:29) When speaking to one of his disciples, Jesus called Jehovah “my Father and your Father” and “my God and your God.” (John 20:17)

After Jesus died, Jehovah resurrected him to life in heaven and gave him great authority at His right hand.​—Matthew 28:18; Acts 2:32, 33.

Jesus Christ Can Help You Draw Close to God
Jesus came to the earth to teach us about his Father. Jehovah himself said about Jesus: “This is my Son, the beloved. Listen to him.” (Mark 9:7)

Jesus knows God better than anyone else. He said: “No one knows who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son is willing to reveal him.”​—Luke 10:22.


Jesus reflects God’s qualities perfectly.

Jesus imitated his Father’s qualities so closely that he could say: “Whoever has seen me has seen the Father also.” (John 14:9)

Jesus drew people to God by reflecting his Father’s love in his own words and deeds. He said: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6)

He also said: “True worshippers will worship the Father with spirit and truth, for indeed, the Father is looking for ones like these to worship him.” (John 4:23)
Imagine that! Jehovah is looking for people like you who want to know the truth about him.
Show me where "God created Jesus in the Bible"?


This is what the Bible says about Jesus

Colossians 1:16, NIV: For in Him (Jesus) all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him

GreatAchiever1:

The trinity is one God in three different person(not form) each with different task, an illustration I use to understand the concept is like taking Ice and put it in a plate, then heat the plate, the scene in the process whereby the ice (solid) is melting (liquid) and at the same time evaporating(gas) all in different states but still H20 is like a simple illustration of the trinity of God, even though this may not be completely accurate but it's the best I can come up with.

Sorry to disagree, even though I still believe in trinity. The ice, water and gas are still equal, whereas The Father is Always greater than The Son!, hence your explanation could be validly faulted, even though it is a very good one.

My own explanation is "Zenith Bank is one even though Jim Ovia is not on the same level as the Cashier."

When I read this

"Jesus Is Not God. Jesus is unique​—he is the only person created directly by God. That is why the Bible calls him God’s Son. (John 1:14)"

I knew you don't know what you are talking about.

If Jesus is the word of God, how then can you say he is created?

You don't even know the meaning of "Son of God"

You were making some sense from the beginning until you got to Jesus part.

Are you expecting our tiny brain to grasp what it means.

God created everything visible and invisible through his word. That word is Jesus.

Words are generated from the source (not created) , and possesses all the quality from the source.

Let me explain with something easier. When the sun shines on us, we feel the heat from it, don't we? The ray of the sun hitting us makes us sweat. This ray is generated not created. And when something is generated from the source, it possesses everything the source possess.

God didn't create Jesus. Jesus was generated from God (source). And possesses everything God possess.

That is why he is called Son of God.
That title is not the same thing as what we know when women gives birth here on earth

I didn't read all those above but just take note of this since it's from jw.

Jesus is not created by God, He is not like God, He is not almost God.
JESUS IS GOD.
And if you can't grasp that simple truth and believe in the trinity, I don't want to know what scripture you're quoting, it isn't the gospel of Christ, and I pray you repent and come to the true knowledge of God in order for you to be saved.

Jws are devils we know however Jesus is God over us, as Moses was a god over Isreal.

But As He Told us Himself, He Also has A Head and Ruler, Who is called God Also but He is properly described as The Most High or The Highest!

I agree!

If I say nothing, "my word" would not be born or come out", hence the Bible righly informed us in saying "Proceed from The Father" exactly how my word proceeds from me.

So you are absolutely right!

I know my illustration maybe faulty, I acknowledge that, but it still make the point that they are one and equal. But your idea of the father is always greater than the son disapprove of their equality which makes them no longer one.
Another illustration, a husband and wife, we know they are equal yet they function in different roles and hence the wife is to be in submission to the husband in full authority but no one is superior than the other because they are one flesh(equal). Again the best I can come up with.
The “greatness” spoken, could relate to their role not essence.

I think "equality" is what is preventing you from understanding that "Oneness" does not mean equal.

The body is one and the chest seems to be the largest area, but, a slight cut on the smallest finger, upsets the whole body.

Thus, unity and oneness does really care about greatness or smallness but about smooth co -operation and seamlessness.

The body is one but no part of the human body is equal, each has a different function, even though you have two hands, feet, kidney etc. they are not considered as one, they are said to be 2 hands, feet, kidneys etc.

Are you simply trying to say that the Father, son and the holy spirit are not essentially equal?

Yes!

The Word is always lesser than He Who Speaks The Word,

I have figured out that The Holly Spirit is The Countenance of God moving forth from Him, which is also lesser than Him, so, YES! THEY ARE NOT FULLY EQUAL, Like your solid, liquid and gas.

But, The Word and The Countenance of God are Powerful as God has given them.

But God is Super, Super Greater and He Himself has not yet Moved, only Sent His Word and His Countenance do to His Will.

We have not seen The Highest Move. O, if He should move, hmmm.

"Mountains melt or skip, the world fled AT ONLY THE SOUND O OF HIS VOICE, the seas dried up" and these could either be Him or The Power of His Word or Countenance.

He Only Spoke and worlds were created, what would happen if He Moves or lift up a Hand? What would happen?

Are you sure you are holding on to God orooerly?

Are you sure you truly want God or you are just doing it because you think He would help you?

If you do not hold on to God properly you must fall.

95% of atheists are former church goers and Bible readers who thought that they were born again and holding on to the faith.

Whereas, they held wrong, so they fell and became irredeemable, exactly as how Satan wants it to be.

So Examine yourself, do you really want God?
