Well, keep studying until you get it right. I have studied far longer than you and, although I still have more to learn, I have a very good understanding of those topics that you mentioned.

But FAR MORE IMPORTANT is that => in Christ, I live and move and have my being <= Acts 17:28

I'll say how wonderful it is that 'we' have more to learn in many different ways.

Right! The billions of Christians on the planet have no idea what Jesus taught, but YOU DO!!!

Aerw you okay?? You seem to be delusional!


Why don't you go out and teach the "ignorant masses" the truth. Or more properly, what you THINK is the truth.

You certainly haven't convinced me that you understand what Christianity truly is!

If you think that the Trinity doesn't exist, YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT CHRISTIANITY!

Without rancor, it isn't the appellation Christian that makes a person acceptable to God.

"The appelation"? Do you think that God doesn't know His own children, i.e., those who are in Christ?

Do you think that what makes a person acceptable to God is their "works", i.e. their behavior?

Try reading Ephesians 2:4-10. It is solely by God's grace that a person is saved and adopted into His family. Nobody earns God's acceptance!

All that I require is for others to support their claims. Though if someone is willing to state that what they have is just a belief I will accept that they believe that. The problem arises when people claim to have facts and refuse to support them.

I don't think that's likely to happen with certain Christians, because they're convinced in their own minds that their beliefs are absolute truth. They tend to believe that their doctrinal beliefs and preferred interpretation of the Bible are the only correct ones, and other Christians who disagree with them are simply wrong and misguided. Some believe that the Trinity is substantiated in the Bible, while others don't. Personally, I see this perpetual dissension as yet another example of just how divided they are on their various interpretations of the Bible and why I think their Christian beliefs should be dismissed and not taken seriously. I also think it's ironic when they accuse each other of being arrogant and judgmental. In my opinion, it's the pot calling the kettle black.

As a former Christian, I now believe that the Trinity doctrine was copied and adapted from paganism, and here are two articles to demonstrate why.

First article: Pagan Roots of the Trinity Doctrine

Second article: How Ancient Trinitarian Gods Influenced Adoption of the Trinity

They aren't taught correctly--Like this super important teaching from Jesus that every true follower must be doing daily without fail, and they know that teaching by heart already in Jesus' real religion.= Matt 6:33-Keep on seeking -FIRST- the kingdom and his( YHVH(Jehovah) righteousness and all these things will be added( sustenance, covering, spirituality)
The blind guides who do not listen to Jesus teach to seek Jesus' righteousness first--they will lose. They can't accomplish this other super important teaching from Jesus without doing Matt 6:33 daily= John 4:22-24
The good news of the kingdom( Matt 24:14--taught door to door daily -Luke 10,,Acts 20:20--it is being done. Few listen.

You must have missed the undeniable facts= Israel NEVER served a trinity God-they served the true God. In 381 ce at the council of Constantinople= the very first time the holy spirit was considered as apart of a godhead in a Christian called religion. Others prior like Tertullian was considering God to be a trinity in the 2nd century. But that God was not being taught or served prior to 381 ce.
