    trinity is controversial?

    The Trinity, implied by the word itself, is three Persons in ONE God. How many of those triple gods were three AND one? The reason I ask is that the one God of the Bible is three Persons, a Mystery that cannot be discovered through logic and reasoning. Therefore, that Tri-une God of the Gospel...

    everything is predestined?

    All I know from my extensive reading and study of the Bible is that God causes or allows everything to happen in his plan; he causes good things to happen and allows bad things to his glory and the good of his people (Genesis 50:20). At the very same time, all humans are fully responsible for...

    Saved by faith alone. A surmised understanding?

    You have been misinformed because of the following verses (Ephesians 2:8,9): "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." We are saved by grace through faith and when God declares us not-guilty in his sight...

    trinity is controversial?

    The Trinity is a mystery that our puny human minds can't understand. His oneness summarizes all that the Old Testament says about him, and the threeness summarizes the Gospel of John' s teachings. In fact, that clear teaching of God's Word shows that the Bible has to have been inspired, because...

    The 'ELECT' vs 'Free-Choice'

    How about this Calvinistic idea? God's has his plan for salvation of all believers that he decided from before creation, while all believers have full responsibility to choose God to be saved. It is a mystery how those two biblical truths work together, but they do.

    Is being "unequally yoked" a reasonable excuse for a woman to leave her husband?

    No, that's not a basis for leaving him. She can be a good spiritual influence through being an example and praying for her husband.

    Creation Week

    The Bible doesn't say which week, so we shouldn't speculate.

    Predestination is misunderstood...

    I think it means that we were chosen to be in him. "In Christ" is Paul's favorite phrase; it refers to our spiritual union with Jesus like the vine and the branch in John 15.

    All Of Israel, Or Just A Remnant?

    It's very difficult to interpret future prophecies until they have been fulfilled. Witness the Old Testament prophecies about Jesus. Christians could see the fulfillments, but they were hard to interpret when they were made. My advice is, "Wait and see."

    Death curses the law

    What do you mean that death curses the law? It doesn't make sense to me. Please explain.'

    What image and what likeness 🤔

    1) No part of God is created from dust, because Jesus said that God is spirit to the woman at the well. 2) Yet, because Jesus was flesh after being conceived in Mary's womb, he could die; and because he was God as spirit, he could rise from the dead. 3) Paul said that believers are being...

    What are his commandments?

    But there is also complaining in faith when one's circumstances seem to contradict God's promises (almost half of the Psalms, Job 3, 7, 10, Habakkuk, Jeremiah's Lamentations, etc.).

    What are his commandments?

    You're preaching to the "choir." I agree, since I was a preacher of the Word for 27 years.

    When did the Trinitarian concept enter and disrupt the strict monotheistic religion of Judaism and early Christianity?

    And to add to your true statement, that God is ONE God, as the Jews also believed, in three Persons.

    We come to know him in the gospels by his own actions and teachings and by those in the whole Bible.

    Perhaps, you're right, but we don't know for sure what shape it will take.

    I completely agree!

    What are his commandments?

    Yes, both Jesus and Paul point to the inner sins of anger, lust, and hatred that lead to the outward sinful acts. The inner sins are emphasized in the new covenant instituted by Jesus.
