Hi all
This thread is an offshoot of this one False teaching to discuss the trinity.
_______________________________
The Trinity does not exist - Undermines God's nature and the cross
Islam for example accepts Jesus as a prophet. They state He can't be God as He prayed to God, He was crucified, He could not do miracles in certain places. There are a few Christians that teach the trinity is not mentioned in scripture and that Jesus is a completely separate person to God. Simply a son, not a God to be worshipped.
This is heresy of the highest order 10/10. Teaching from the pits of hell. A complete mockery of core Christianity, the significance of the cross. If we believe Jesus is not God, well then we believe God got some unlucky fella to come and die for all mankind. God does not really love us, this other random creation ''called a son'' does. God is kind of sick to make someone a lamb to the slaughter for people he did not create or know.
The trinity is at the core of Christianity. It is very important for Christians to know and believe this. The bible does not need to say ''trinity'' for it to be true.
God the Son, God the Holy Spirit and God the Father.
Regarding the accusations of Jesus: God made Himself flesh John 1:14. God did not 'cheat'. He experienced the A-Z of our temptations Heb 4:15. He could have called angels to help Him, He did not Matt 26:53. He was truly abandoned by God the Father Matt 27:46. He did not heal all as He wanted them to have faith Matt 13:58. God has never been one to perform fancy tricks like a clown for our amusement Matt 16:4. He made Himself a Lamb to the slaughter as a sign of respect to mankind Isa 53:7. He wants us to know that even though He could have done ''death'' the easy way (instant death), He did not. It's crazy that God of the universe would want to 'earn' our respect. God is such a good God. Worthy of all our praise and worship.
The only matter that I feel requires some very special insight, is grasping the fact that Jesus prayed to God. This link explains it soundly I believe If Jesus was God, how could He pray to God? Was Jesus praying to Himself? | GotQuestions.org.
Some scriptures that prove the trinity:
Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
John 5:18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
John 10:30 I and the Father are one.
John 8:58 Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth, before Abraham was even born, I Am!
John 10:38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
