I have read 1 John 5; 7 was added by Rome, who began this trinity doctrine, and so many other lies.

The web states it was not in any Greek bibles before the 1600's

That's the LIE that Jesus is not able to control what goes in to His Word.

You did realize that even without 1 John 5:7 there is plenty of proof in God's Word concerning the Father, the Son, and the Holly Spirit right? How did you miss that???

Ever see all the scriptures about the Father?
Ever see all the scriptures about Jesus?
Ever see all the scriptures about the Holy Spirit?

Those that don't accept the whole counsel of God open themselves to deception as you have done here



please prove that with scriptures --- I have never seen it done

Ever see all the scriptures about the Father?
Ever see all the scriptures about Jesus?
Ever see all the scriptures about the Holy Spirit?

The devil done deceived you dude!



there are no scriptures that clearly states God is three personalities or entities. no trinity, Just the Father and the son

Spreading more lies of satan we see

Matthew 3:16,17
And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Matthew 3:16,17 demonstrates the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit all in one place.

And sadly you have been deceived



They play with snakes, right?

No all of them, no.

If I ever visit a church and it's my turn to go up and "handle snakes" I'm going to first go out to the truck and get my trusty 12 gauge shot gun, load some bird shot, and show the people the proper way to handle snakes!

The scripture actuality does not say pick up snakes and handle them.

No, the scripture speaks of Christians moving devils out of the way thru the power of God's Word

the Bible does not state explicitly that God is one Person.

Only those that don't know God's Word make such claims.

I've already posted where God says of Himself that He is One Being.




neither does it explicitly stare that God is three Persons.

Only those that don't know God's Word make such claims.

I've already posted where God says of Himself that He is a 3 part Being.



But I hope we can agree that Jesus Christ is the one God has made King of kings, whom we must follow, obey and serve.If we are amomg to do that with a clean conscience, the speculative finer details wherein we differ need not disrupt our fellowship and unity in Him.

WHY would I want to fellowship with those that have been deceived by satan in to twisting God's Word?

These people are peddling deception and are open doors for demons to use them to deceived others.



Men are souls.

False.

Men are created in God's Image. God is a Spirit and so is man.

Man is a spirit that possesses a soul and lives in a body

1 Thessalonians 5:23
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

After all... the Lord did create man in His Own Image.

Genesis 1:26
God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness

That's the Father, the Word, and the Spirit saying "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness"

That speaks of the human spirit that He gave us in regeneration.

Return to God who gave it? God does not give us our soul. He created it!

The human spirit is where all our sound doctrine gets stored for use.

For... It will be by means of the content of our human spirit that the Lord will evaluate our lifetime on earth.

He finds works motivated by either wood, hay, or stubble.
Or, works empowered by gold, silver and precious stones.

For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.
If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw,
their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light.
It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work.
If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. If it is burned up,
the builder will suffer loss, but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping
through the flames.

1 Corinthians 3:11-15 -
That tells us we can not lose our salvation!
That we can only lose our rewards.

grace and peace ............

Paul is talking about those with the Father's spirit, those that HAVE NOT turn back to sin, but are weak and produced nothing.
those that return to sin --- no eternal life, next for them is the Lake of Fire

It's not necessary to talk to anybody the way you do. Constant accusations of lying, of not knowing God's word,

peddling deception and are open doors for demons to use them to deceived others,

only those that don't know God's Word make such claims,

Spreading more lies of satan we see,

All I can say is - I really don't want to be here with this kind of talk. You need recycling.

Jesus and His Apostles spoke like this to those who claimed to know and speak the Lord but were in fact speaking for the devil.

If you dislike the content of my posts, you are cordially invited to refrain from reading my posts.

You can handle that can't ya bud?

There you go again. You just acn't refrain.

It's not that I can't handle it. I'd like to debunk your diabolical, man-made, demon devised doctrine of nonsense. Want to go for it? Just don't post things that are a mile long to prove your point.

Hebrews 2:17 For this reason he had to be made like them,[k] FULLY HUMAN IN EVERY WAY, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. 18 Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.
 
Men are created in God's Image. God is a Spirit and so is man.

Deity (God) is a Spirit. The Son is both Deity (spirit) and Humanity (soul) and everything was created for, by and through the Son.

Colossians 1:16
For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.

It is in His image and likeness we are created ergo, Adam became a living soul, not a living spirit.

God is (Exo. 3:14)/Spirit(1Tim. 1:17)/One (Deut. 6:4)/the HS (2Cor. 3:17)/Love (1John 4:8)/Omnipresent (Psa. 139:7)/Father of spirits (Heb. 12:9), but not "a" Spirit.
 
The government identifies one entity, and "they" identifies the members that make up that government. What's the problem?
No problem there for me, which is why I see no problem with seeing trinitarianism implicit, though not explicit, in scripture.
 
I have read 1 John 5; 7 was added by Rome, who began this trinity doctrine, and so many other lies.

The web states it was not in any Greek bibles before the 1600's

There's no doubt the passage was added around that time and the Protestants retained it even though it's a 'Catholic' addition.

Many of the Reformers were diehard trinitarians and today people who have accepted this three in one have complicated it.

You may be correct here and it's difficult to decipher what's correct. 1John 5:7 looks like this in the TR...

The YLT is closest to the TR in my view...

Adam became a living soul, not a living spirit.

And yet you are ignoring God's Word says we are spirit, soul, and body.

1 Thessalonians 5:23
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ

Yes when one is alive unto the Lord abiding in Him and allowing Him to abide in us one's soul becomes alive.

Otherwise the soul of man is dead meaning man is separated from God which is what happens to Adam and Eve when they sinned against God their soul became dead.





but not "a" Spirit.

John 4:24 states, "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."
 
And yet you are ignoring God's Word says we are spirit, soul, and body.

I was responding to your "we are spirits" nonsense. We were not discussing how we are put together, so I am not ignoring anything.

Adam became a living soul. Did you not read that?

There is nowhere in the scriptures that speak of men as spirits, you won't find one, but I can show you many that speak of us as souls. It is the essence of who we are. It is the soul that is created in the image of God. It is the soul in which our personhood is found. The essence of the soul contains our consciousness (of self and others), mentality (thinking in all it's forms), emotions, volition, conscience. We are to love the Lord with all our heart (treasure Him above all else), soul (all of our being), mind (in all our thinking), and strength (use our bodies for the Lord's work). Nowhere does it say love Him with your spirit because our spirits are born of God and do not need to be trained as our spirit automatically aligns with the Spirit. Our spirit will not accept anything that is not of God. It is how our souls become darkened without a human spirit because we have no "truth filter". God's word must come (by way of the Spirit) through our spirit into the soul and lived out through the body.

Mark 12:30
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’

Otherwise the soul of man is dead meaning man is separated from God which is what happens to Adam and Eve when they sinned against God their soul became dead.

Their soul did not become dead, their spirit returned to God who gave it. Ecc.12:7 When we are dead in our sins Eph.2:1, we are not physically dead, nor mentally/emotionally dead but spiritually dead. This is why we must be born of the Spirit in order to enter/see/understand the Kingdom of God and the things of God.

John 3:5-6
5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.

1 Corinthians 2:14
But the natural (psuchikos - literally soulish) man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.


Because God is holy and we are born sinners, He cannot give us a human spirit at birth as our spirits are something of God just as our flesh is something of our parents ergo, we are born body and soul only. There is the familiar (as in the sense of family) involved in being born from above.
 
I was responding to your "we are spirits" nonsense.

Well, God created me in His Image so I am a spirit that possesses a soul that lives in a body as the Lord says in 1 Thessalonians 5:23

Those claiming God lied in His Word have big trouble in their future, the eternal hot and tormenting kind they won't be able to escape from. Too bad for them.




Adam became a living soul. Did you not read that?

He was created in God's Image so Adam is a spirit who's soul because alive unto God

God is a Spirit and so is man because God created man in His Own Image.

Claiming God lied when He said man is created in God's Image is doctrines of demons.




There is nowhere in the scriptures that speak of men as spirits

1 Thessalonians 5:23
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole SPIRIT and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ

Some folk obviously have problem with reading comprehension, which is a sign do demonic deception.



Mark 12:30
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’

Yes and "heart" here is the spirit of man

Proverbs 20:27
The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.


The spirit is what causes the soul of man to never ever cease to exist.

Living soul means alive unto the Lord as in connected to the Lord by being one with the Lord

A dead soul means separated from the Lord as in being carnally minded which is death due to refusal to be in agreement with the Lord and instead being in agreement with satan

When Adam and Eve sinned against God they became dead souls and they're spirits became corrupt

We know this is ttrue by the need for man to become born again by the Spirit of God in order to come back in to right standing with the Lord.



Their soul did not become dead

So you claim is mankind does not need to be born again because sin does not separate one from God. Got it.




their spirit returned to God who gave it. Ecc.12:7

Back under God's absolute control (their free will is removed) and in God judges them and send them to their eternal home either in God's presence or to hell where those who accuse God of putting lies in His Word go unless they REPENT.

John 3:5-6
5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.

Yes, the spirit of God causes the spirit of man to become a new creature in Christ

Showing that man is a spirit just like God is a Spirit since God said man is created in God's Image.



1 Corinthians 2:14
But the natural (psuchikos - literally soulish) man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

That's what some people claim some things God says in His Word are lies because they are canal minded and cannot receive the revelation the Holy Spirit provides.



Because God is holy and we are born sinners, He cannot give us a human spirit at birth as our spirits are something of God just as our flesh is something of our parents ergo, we are born body and soul only. There is the familiar (as in the sense of family) involved in being born from above.

That's a paragraph full of doctrines of demons right there! crazy.gif

I was not born a sinner. God did not put sin in to me when He created me.

Those that believe God put sin in to them when He created them use that as an excuse to continue living in sin.

This is one of many doctrines of demons that came from the false teachers God's Word tells us about that would come forth in the end times.
 
1 Thessalonians 5:23
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole SPIRIT and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ

Some folk obviously have problem with reading comprehension, which is a sign do demonic deception.

That is not calling men spirits that is defining how they are made.

You are obviously not the sort to think much about what is said and therefore rather make accusations than discuss.

So be it.

Goodbye.

1 Thessalonians 5:23 clearly tells us man is spirit, soul, and body


You are obviously not the sort to think much about what is said and therefore rather make accusations than discuss.

I thought about what you said and I compared what you said to what God said and sorry bud you came up short.

God is correct and you are not.



Don't let the back door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya! :cool:
 
1 Thessalonians 5:23 clearly tells us man is spirit, soul, and body

How we are put together was never the issue. You called men spirits when they are clearly called souls throughout scripture.

Men are created in God's Image. God is a Spirit and so is man.

It was explained to you we are created in the image of God the Son who is both Deity (Spirit) and Soul (humanity).

Men are not spirits, they are souls. What makes us uniquely human is in our soul. No-one is arguing men are made up of spirit, soul and body if they are regenerated but we are born unregenerated, body and soul only which is why we must be born from above. Jn.3:6 Spirit (God) gives birth to (human) spirit.

You changing the goal posts and not bothering to listen to what is being said is not the Lord splitting anyone, it is all on you.
