Hmm this may not be what you are looking for
Hi,
How about the so-called doctrine of the Trinity? No where in the bible is the word "Trinity" found and yet it is believed by many in the Christain world today.
I am wondering how a topic of Christainity beliefs that are in contratdiction with the bible as a magesterium. I think I am going to post it one of these days.

Re: Hmm this may not be what you are looking for
Hi,
I believe we started another topic within a topic interesting.
A brie hint of Ayin in the Kabbalah, interesting.
I did some research on the Trinity thing tonight. I ran into L. Ray Smith. He does proves his points from a bibilical standpoint. What interested me in this, is he back up completely his position on the premise the Trinity did not exist. The reason I posted this question is becuase it is one that is interesting me now. The URL for this paper which is called, "Is God a Closed Trinity or an Open Family?" is posted below.
L. Ray Smith - Is God a Closed TRINITY or an Open FAMILY?
It is a very long essay but it is worth the read. I found it very interesting.
You all read on this and let me know what you think.

Re: Numero Uno
Nighttrain,
I agree with you. I can say at this time I do believe that there are spiritual truths to be gleaned from the bible, such as do as you do unto others and things of that nature. But as to it being all the way true. I am not so sure and have to honestly say I do not know.
I wish others would realize that our beliefs are our personal perferences and that the diehearted Bible thumpers could respect this. Their path is not a path I want to follow.
There is truth in everything and not just in the bible. I also wish that they would use other sources as science itself does when it tries to prove things true or not.
Thanks for posting this.
Sincerely,
Anne C. McGuire

Re: Hmm this may not be what you are looking for
Ramoss,
I wanted to know if you could refute this statement. I am having problems of refuting it. I think it may be one of circular reasoning but not knowing the laws of logic very well I need help.
1. The Trinity exists.
2. Trinity is another name for God?
3. God is made up of as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
4. Each form of aspect is God.
5. Think of water's form - gas, liquid, and solid, They are still water.
6. If 5 is true then the Trinity is true and it exists.
Basically, I know something is wrong with the logic scheme, but I do not know where the logic falls apart. Perhaps you have heard the water thing to explain the Trinity. Anyfeedback on this would be helpful.
Thanks.
Sincerely,
Anne C. McGuire

Re: (IL)logic proves a dodecatinity.
AnswersInGenitals,
Hi. Thanks for that reply. Now I will have something to come back with. I knew that logic was wrong but I could not explain why it was wrong. Any good easy books on logic and the laws of logic?
Thanks.
Sincerely,
Anne C. McGuire
