To those who are talking of Job's "complaining" - Do you believe you'd do better than he in that situation? It's easy to criticise in a position of comfort.

I don't know, but, for what it's worth, Roman's 10:9 says "If thee confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in thine heart God has raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." No mention of the Trinity in this verse.

I suppose it would be unfeasible to give every punishment for every specific wrong - down to "If you steal semi-ripe apples from a Mexican's orchard, you'll get 20 stripes of the rod.". It seems 'though considering the specific penalties for wrongdoing in eg. Leviticus or Deuteronomy, that...

As for explaining what I've previously said, I'm afraid I often get mixed up with the format here - I'm not au fait with technology. I not even sure to whom I have said what It may be helpful to refer to my posts to try to glean from them.

Thanks. I try to remember the correct way to operate, but I sometimes make mistakes.

One thing that was notably absent in the account was any mention by Templeton that He (Jesus) was the divine Saviour (British spelling).
