So does that mean that Jesus Christ (a) doesn't have a body or (b) is not God?GOD is a SPIRIT and is one.

My understanding of the Trinity is simply that there is one beautiful God. God is Father. God came to us in the flesh as Christ. And believers receive his Spirit. Father, Son and Spirit. Three manifestations of one God.
That's all very interesting, but it doesn't even begin to address my simple yes/no question.God in hebrew is "El" that means Most High
Spirit in Hebrew is "Rauch" that means Wind/Movement
Christ in hebrew means "Messaih that means Cleans/water
Jesus in hebrew means "y'shu" that means Air, Shu is god of air
Jesus-Jeus-Jeu = Sky aka Most High, for the true meaning of Jesus, just take away the two S's in jesus. Jeu = Sky.
Jupiter/Cronus/Uranus- which infact are all one and the same like son,father,holyspirit.
Zeus=Jesus * Jupiter is a Sky God
Uranus=Father - Uranus is a Heaven God, Most High God
Cronus=Holy Spirit - Cronus god of time, movement thus wind and spirit.
Zeus(jesus) is son of Cronus(holyspirit) who is son of uranus,
Zeus(jesus) is then the son of Uranus(father).
Zeus/cronus/uranus are trinitarian sun gods
Shive=Holy Spirit=Cronus=Saturn=Enki=EA=yahwah=Geb Earth *Earth Element
Vishnu=Jesus=Jupiter=zeus=Ellil=elohim=Ptah=Allah Heaven "Sun, * Fire Element
brahma=Father=Uranus=Anu=Amon Creation * Water Element
Adam,Man,animals,alulim,adamu,adapa * Air Element
Well, that makes a whole lot of sense. Men decide who God is and then they make it happen.This is exactly how the trinity was devised or how it was implemented.
I can't think of a better reason that that.I do not believe in the christian trinity because it's proposes are as stated above. Why would you believe in it unless at one time you were pagan and needed this bridge to accept Christianity into your life.
I really don't see how money enters in, but I would agree that the doctrine was decided upon as a means to justify a need -- unifying the Roman Empire under Constantine. You get a majority rule and the matter is forever closed. Too bad.It's strange how things were done in the past without any thought of the future those who implemented this dogma did so as a means to justify an immediate need. (money)

Man, I bet that was a rude suprise for all of the apostles and believers who died horrible deaths as martyrs... wonder if they were thinking "Maybe a new religion wasn't such a good money scheme" when they were nailed to crosses, or axed to death, or beheaded, or stoned, or thrown off of buildings, or burned in ovens...The reason was for wealth
God establishes that He is One God, there is no other Gods.Isaiah 44:6,8 6 "This is what the LORD says— Israel's King and Redeemer, the LORD Almighty: I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God... Is there any God besides me? No, there is no other Rock; I know not one."
Here at the 6th day we see God affirming a plural form when creating man(he didn't do so with any other creation), so even if you do not believe in the Trinity, you must acknowledge at least two.Genesis 1:26 26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."
Here scripture says that the Spirit of God is the creator and breathed the breath of life.Job 33:4 The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
Here we see how the Apostle John writes concerning Jesus the creator of the universe. so we have 1) God the Father the Creator, 2) the Spirit of God as Creator, 3) and Jesus Christ as the Creator.John 1:1-3,14 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made...14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
This is a good web site on comparing scripture of Jesus's Deity.Isaiah 40:28 "Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom."
i believe in the Trinity. I cannot speak for all those who say there is or isn't based only on our ideas, the authority on this comes from scripture, all authority on any topic of God the Father's testimony to us is by scripture alone, not from us. but to satisfy your above questions i go to a baptist church but would not really claim to be baptist, i am a follower of Jesus Christ, and if the church meets the criteria in the bible i will go to that church....so if it's Calvary, Baptist or whatever i always follow scripture and not man's idea of God, the church i attend must align with scripture.

so this is why people say that there is Three or that there is One God of the Bible. it is not contained in a single scripture but throughout the bible you can see the Triune God working. Since God's word cannot be broken, all of scripture is true and there is a Triune God. hard to even fathom i know but that is what it says. for me this is perfectly understandable to not be able to comprehend the vastness of God, if i could completely fathom Him there wouldn't be any reason to worship Him.

you are saying that earth is only section of land in the bible, you would have to read the passage within the context it was written. earth can mean ground, area or planet....it all depends on the context used and you didn't give an example.When bible talk about Earth, they are taking about a piece of land, not the entire planet.
i think your arguing in favor of my point.If there is only one god, why does the bible talk of the "Elohim" Elohim is a plural.
infact throughout the bible, God is a diffrent form, they not all the same, in genesis he is a creation god, in exodus he is a jealous fire god, in new testements he is ma water god.
I am a little confused on who (different denominations of Christianity) believes what regarding The Trinity. Different people have told me different ideas.
I know in general there is Trinitarians and Non-Trinitarians.
Could you tell me (preferably in detail) what you personally believe and what denomination you are.
I have had people tell me that Catholics AND protestants believe that they are the same being and others tell me that protestants actually believe that they are separate beings?
Thank-you!
then how do you deal with the pluralism of the beginning of man?I am Jewish, and according to Judaism, God is absolutely One; not two or three.
in the text of verse 26 He speaks in plural form to create man, in 27 He said that He singularly made man, if God's word is infallible and cannot be broken, then how do you still conclude that God is still One without any other when He says "Let Us make"? the concept of a plural God that was One is not just new testament only, it stems from the old testament but wasn't fully understood til Jesus arrived.Genesis 1:26-27
26Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."
27God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

Let me start this one by telling you that the account of Creation in Genesis is an allegory. The whole account of Creation. This is the first thing to brush away any literal interpretation.
i never said that God had endowed us with His form or even make reference to such a thing. i gave the verse, that is what you are contending with, not me but God's Word. the reference in Genesis is to having a conscience, having a will and being capable of love. these are instilled in us and are medically unprovable.The second, and more important than the first is that God is incorporeal. There is no image or form in incorporeality. Jesus himself said that God is pure Spirit and that the only way to relate to "Him" is in a spiritual manner. (John 4:24)
Pardon me, but if you don't believe that God created man "in His image, after His likeness," then you really don't take Genesis literally. If you try to apply some symbolic or figurative interpretation to the words "image" and "likeness," then you are guilty of doing the very thing you have accused Ben of doing. If you interpret "image" to mean anything other than the representation of physical appearance or qualities, please give me an example of the word used in a sentence.[/color]i do take Genesis literally, what makes you not take it literally? i'll take God's Word for it. if you are taking it any other way you must denounce the references it has in later books as well.

no, i've compared scripture with scripture, who reads the beginning of a book without finishing through to the end to find out if what it says makes sense?Pardon me, but if you don't believe that God created man "in His image, after His likeness," then you really don't take Genesis literally. If you try to apply some symbolic or figurative interpretation to the words "image" and "likeness," then you are guilty of doing the very thing you have accused Ben of doing.

the bible does not describe Cain or Abel this way even though both were also Adams sons, it is not about likeness of physical appearance.Genesis 5:1-4 1This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day when God created man, He made him in the likeness of God.2He created them male and female, and He blessed them and named them Man in the day when they were created.3When Adam had lived one hundred and thirty years, he became the father of a son in his own likeness, according to his image, and named him Seth.4Then the days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred years, and he had other sons and daughters.
