Cofty, you are not showing verses to counter-act what I am saying,
and to say that "The trinity is nowhere described in the bible" shows
your lack of understanding and knowledge towards the scriptures.
The Bible explains that Jesus is God (As I have shown you)
The Bible explains that the Holy Spirit is God (As I have explained in a previous video)
The Bible explains that the Father is also God.
If Jesus is NOT God, then how can He be the word of God?
John 1:1
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
The
Word was God - If Jesus is a lesser God, then there are two God's in
the Bible, but the Bible explains that there is ony ONE true God...
also, if Jesus is a lesser god, how can He be the Word of God? Surely
that would mean that He is the Word of a god, but He is the WORD of GOD.
Satan wants nothing more to demish the person of the Lord Jesus.
Crofty, if you fail to acknowledge that Jesus is God, then you do not have the Holy Spirit...
1 Corinthians 12:3
"Wherefore
I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God
calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord,
but by the Holy Ghost."
Do you believe that Jesus Christ is THE LORD? Obviously by your response, the answer is no, thus the Bible explains this...
1 John 4:1
"Beloved,
believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God:
because many false prophets are gone out into the world."
Try the
Spirits... how? By the word of God. This shows that you do not have
the Holy Spirit, thus you surely cannot be saved, so it is pointless
trying to argue the fact here with someone who is not saved if they are
making up excuses to deny the deity of the Lord Jesus.
To answer
your question above, the Lord Jesus Christ still acknowledges His Father
as His God by way of an example for ourselves to follow. When Jesus
was on the earth, he acknowledged that the Father was greater than Him
(John 10:29) yet in Colossians and Philippians, Paul acknowledges that
Jesus is Equal to the Father...
Colossians 2:9
" For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily."
Philippians 2:5-6
"Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with
However when He came to this earth, He made Himself of no reputation and TOOK ON the form of a Servant (Phil 2:7)
The reason He did this was...
Phil 2:8
"And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross."
To Humble Himself for the suffering of death.
Hebrews 2:9
"But
we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the
suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace
of God should taste death for every man."
Throughout the Bible,
the scriptures speak of CHRIST, and showing you His deity. The verses I
quoted in the video give strong evidence towards His deity.
All
you have said is quoting your own understanding, your own traditions and
teachings...Parrotted what others have said in times past, without
having any scriptural back up.
Matthew 15:9
"But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men."
Galatians 2:8
"Beware
lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the
tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after
Christ."
You quoted "The Trinity is NOWHERE described in the bible" Oh really?
1 John 5:7
"For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."
I
bet you will say something idiotic like... "Oh that verse should not be
in the bible, it was put in by the Catholics..." Says who? It's God's
word... stop listening to man.
1 Corinthians 2:5
"That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God."
To deny the trinity is to deny the scriptures friend.
Who Raised Jesus from the Dead?
Acts 13:30
"But God raised him from the dead."
Which members?
The Father (Galatians 1:1)
The Son (John 2:19)
The Holy Spirit (Romans 8:11)
You
also state that the Holy Spirit is not God? Yet, once we believe on
the Lord Jesus Christ, we are sealed BY the Holy Spirit of God (Eph
1:13)
Here is another thought for you... it was GOD who chastened
the Isrealittes and destroyed them in the wilderness right? Because of
their tempting and complaining...
Numbers 21:5-6
"And the people spake
against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of
Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there
any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread. And the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died."
Yet, Paul said it was Christ who sent the Fiery Serpents, indicating he knew who Christ really was...
1 Corinthians 10:8-10
"Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer."
