Does The Bible Contain Errors And Contradictions

Loving God and my neighbor as myself.
Well, I reject your opinion as being ill informed or simply willfully ignorant. My God exists as three separate Persons, but One God. While those others you mention believe in some singular god. So there you have it, I had to educate you gain
I do appreciate that you are Trinitarian, and that this belief is a significant divide between Christianity and the other Abrahamic faiths.

What you need to understand is that it is not necessary to be a Trinitarian in order to believe in the God of Abraham. Abraham was not Trinitarian.

Nothing in my post that you quoted was sarcastic.

Are you saying that you are focusing on God dying? Can you tell me what you are basing this idea on? Are you trying to logically deduce it from your assumption that Jesus is God and he died, or is it from something else?

Obviously, since dying is something that happens to corporeal life, and God is not a corporeal being, God does not die.

No sarcasm in any of this. I'm playing it very straight with you.
I have no idea what you are talking about.

I think it is truly disturbing if he genuinely believes everything he writes.
In a way, he is reflecting the world. Look at politics and how divided people are and how protests can become violent and criminal.
 
God made man in His image means that man has the potential to reflect the spiritual attributes of God, it does not have anything to do with physicality.

Humans have the potential to reflect certain attributes, such as Good, Loving, Gracious, Merciful, Just, Righteous, Forgiving, and Patient, and we reflect them to a greater of lesser degree, depending upon how spiritual we are.

God is not a man. God is a Spirit.

John 4:24 KJV
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

God has revealed Himself three times since Jesus but you still stuck on one.

1. Muhammad
2. The Bab
3. Baha'u'llah

“…….. Once in about a thousand years shall this City be renewed and readorned…

That City is none other than the Word of God revealed in every age and dispensation.
In the days of Moses it was the Pentateuch; in the days of Jesus, the Gospel; in the days of Muhammad, the Messenger of God, the Qur’án; in this day, the Bayán; and in the Dispensation of Him Whom God will make manifest, His own Book—the Book unto which all the Books of former Dispensations must needs be referred, the Book that standeth amongst them all transcendent and supreme.”

Gleanings From the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, pp. 269-270

From: Tablet of the True Seeker
Again, I must reject all of that as lies without any foundation. Everything you claim is the opposite to the truth, I don't need to go through every single lie. But I can assure you that you have no basis for any of your claims.

Mohammad was not a prophet of God. Christianity teaches that he was a mass murderer, a terrorist, pedophile, thief and liar. We have all the records to confirm our claims, so he's a criminal who we believe deserves the death penalty

I've never heard of the other two you mentioned, so they must be fictional non existent characters. Quite sad really

Eh... These aren't new sentiments. These feelings don't just appear out of nowhere; they are deeply rooted. Deeply, deeply rooted

Not all those called Christian believe that God is three in one. Or one in three.

No, your wrong. He doesn't fool me for a second. Anyone who denies that Jesus is Jehovah God is a liar
Jesus did speak of his Father as being the "only true God." He also said he was given authority by his Father and God. Perhaps you need to subject yourself to God and ask Him for help.
 
Certainly there are ethnic wars (although there have been occurrences of "brother killing brother" as Jesus foretold, and national warfare not based on "ethnicity," there is a better world coming where Jesus will save his sheep. Of all colors and nations.
Good point, if brother can hate brother. Imagine how much more he hates those who are different to himself. Yes very true, well spotted

OK, so please explain how we can delete Jesus and the Holy Spirit from existence in order to embrace this non existent Abrahamic god

When you call someone a liar, you are accusing them of knowingly misrepresenting the truth. You have absolutely NO foundation by which to claim that he is lying. Now if you want to say that he is wrong and mistaken and incorrect, that's fine. But not that he is a liar.

btw, are you Jehovah's Witness?

I don't need any help to know God, as I already have a personal relationship with Him. And that's something only Christians have, it's not available to anyone who doesn't believe in the Holy trinity. So of' course you wouldn't know who the true God is.

The JW's reject the Trinity so I would say no. He is in some other odd sect. Westboro Baptist maybe?

Jesus is never mention in the Tanakh (what you likely call the Old Testament). The holy spirit, when mentioned, is a reference to the power of God. The HS is not some separate entity. The God of Abraham, aka the God of the Tanakh, is the Creator, and is not a man. For a thousand years before Jesus was even born, Jews worshiped the God of Abraham without any Trinitarianism at all.
