No.
But I think it is sort of hard to be saved if the Jesus you believe in isn't the one described in the Bible.
I agree.

Your affirmation of the ancient pseudo-christian heresy of Ecclesial Deism is noted. :doh:You Catholics really are suckers. Though I do have to applaud Satan on his brilliant work of infiltrating the Church right from the start. Quite the endeavor there, he even tainted the reformists with a false idol.
What in the world is "RevelationS"?Revelations will put all this in it's rightful place, so enjoy your trump while you can.
This is one of my issues as well. Under some conceptions of the trinity, I don't see how tritheism or polytheism can be avoided.
The Comma Johanneum and Cyprian
Actually, neither men claimed that. It should be self-evident from the article on Cyprian that he was not. As for Tertullian, if the Comma Johanneum had been written by John, Tertullian would certainly have quoted it to defend his Trinity concept that, according to him, was the minority view of the time, yet he never cites the alleged verse. The majority of Christians in Tertullian's day, according to him, held to the Sabellian view of the oneness of God.
No it isn't. Like everyone else, you derive your theological ideas and beliefs from numerous religious sources (i.e., traditions) outside of yourself. Your beliefs are no more "yours" than are Catholics' beliefs theirs.At least my opinion is MINE.
You deny Christ's diety which puts the Fail upon you...Again. Go back to the "Kingdom Hall" and tell them they are wrong.
Pot. Meet kettle.
BLACK.
You can't even pretend to act as if the trinitarians on here are not utterly absurd with their unholy idol :rotfl:
And trinitarians actually deserve a bit of scorn for their crimes against humanity. To me, the trinity symbol is equivalent to a swastika.
Yes, the trinity is not a necessary doctrine. However, Jesus did say he was God. He also asked those who claimed he was blasphemous in saying so, to remember that their own scripture says that they are God too.
John 10: 30-34
Gee whiz, folks; what part of that do you not understand?
Jesus was a mystic. The mystic truth is, each of us is one with God, and IS God; fully divine. I and the Father are one. Jesus taught the mystic truth. Some people who do not recognize the mystic truth, use Christianity to argue and fight with others, or set themselves apart as "saved." Jesus, however, taught love and forgiveness.
gods are those by whom the word of God came. Like Moses, Paul, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Obadiah, Peter, John and of course Jesus Christ.
They are all gods, but not one of them is "the God"

Jesus is described as Son of God, not three in one god. You guys are making up you own doctrines.

Yikes! You're back meshak??
Absolutely not! Believe in Jesus as Son of God and Savior of the world, and accepting Him as your Lord, meaning you should obey everything what He commands.
"For God so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." This verse is the core of Christianity, not additional trinity that trin churches made up..
Tine churches dont honor Jesus' as their Lord by being disobedient to Him by approving killing their enemy against Jesus' word. Being obedient is much more important than calling Him God yet, disobey His commandment. Hypocrisy is not of Jesus.
Er, here is your opportunity:However, since you have chosen to use the unbelieving/enemies of Jesus Christ theology to prove your theology, you lose.
You have shown your true colors.
James 2:19
"Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble."
You and the devils believe:
a. three in one God
b. the trinity
c. Jesus Christ is God
d. all of the above
e. that there is one God.
If you picked "e" then you have what scripture teaches, if you picked any other answer, you fail.

I see you haven't changed. Still ranting and raving like the crazy person you are...

Two admissions. They believe God has three minds.
Well, genius that you're not, you're not in a position (believe me) to dictate what verses in Scripture are supposed to be there and which are not. It's better you shut down your desktop than start removing Scripture from the Bible and calling them "uninspired" Who do you think you are? whoever it is, I wouldn't trust you to tell me the world wasn't flat!!!!!!!!
You're disgusting and ignorant!!!!
