It’s not biblical!

It's been mainly thru His son- there's a certain scripture that says he was the angel that led Moses!

What about persons living in some other part of the world?

Basically, here's how I see it.
God almighty creator of everything.
Through Jesus He let Himself be known to a particular part of the world.

I do believe Jesus was the incarnation of the 2nd person of the trinity. The Logos of God. God's mind, reason, His judging facilities, etc.. this is why Jesus will be judging. So this logos took on human form, so we could say it was God become flesh. A part of God, so we could "see" Him.

It doesn't seem too unreasonable to me. If God created the universe, He could do anything with such great power.

PROVE it. One scripture at a time.

I have given you those scriptures and you refuse them. Why not give us your understanding of why you do not believe in the Trinity/Deity of Christ. One line scripture does not always prove one's point, so please do not use them like you have been doing as they prove nothing.

Well, that's for YOU to decide; if He is One, or They are Three.
Or two!

I think that we need to listen to what the Apostles thought.
Thomas saw the nail damaged hands of Jesus.
He exclaimed MY LORD AND MY GOD.

The Apostles saw a dead man come back to life.
God raised Him to show that the spiritual death of man could be overcome - death needs not be feared.

God also raised Him to show that Jesus was truly part of Him,,,as we also see that Jesus forgave persons, like the lame man that could not walk, and only God could forgive.

God wanted to show that Jesus was God in the flesh.

If you want to believe He's/Their really 3- it's up to YOU!
 
Wondering, you didn't answer my question: Why do you believe? How do you know Jesus died and was resurrected?

2Tim 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
2Tim 2:16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

We do not study to show ourselves approved to any man or any of the 5000 different religions in the world, but to be approved of God.

BTW, no one is talking about three different God's.

I believe that we have been through this before...

"study" in early 17th Century Englyshe has a different meaning than the same word today. For example, the NRSVue has 1 Timothy 2:15 as "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved by him, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly explaining the word of truth." The verse is similarly translated in other modern versions, e.g., the NIV: "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved...", the NET, "Make every effort to present yourself before God as a proven worker...", "Work hard so you can present yourself to God and receive his approval..." NLT, "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God" NKJV

Sorry.
The reasons you have are valid for the person who has met Jesus personally.

Other than that, I'd say that my faith is based on the Apostles....it is a reasonable faith. Christians are not a group of crazy persons that have no reasonable reason to believe.

Jesus lived a short life and left nothing written.
So our faith should be based on the Apostles, on what they left in writing and in teaching. We could trust them because they changed after they saw Jesus alive again,,,from fearful men to men of bravery and courage, and men that faced terrible deaths for their teaching of the Christian faith.


(My son in law couldn't believe he was in NY.
We lived in a very nice area of Queens NY.)

It would be interesting to know what FactsPlease believes about God, but I think he's going to keep it a secret.

No matter what version like you gave, they all say about being approved unto God, not man, not your particular church.
We do our best to hear what the Holy Spirit is trying to teach us, but sometimes we miss what He has said. If what one says or teaches that does not line up with scripture, then they have missed the mark like I have many times and was corrected by others that the Holy Spirit worked through to send me correction. None of us are infallible and we are prone to make mistakes in our understanding of scripture at times.

All you had to do was ASK!
Exactly what do you want to know?
"Believes about God" is a BIG area!

What a crazy avatar!
Hope you don't look like that.... :lol

OK
Let's start off slow so you don't have a conniption.

1. Does every religion believe in the same God?
By God I mean the creator of the universe.

Jesus had appeared shortly before he did Thomas, and said he would be leaving to their God and HIS God.
Do you think God had a God?

A 'part of God' was dead? I haven't heard THAT one before.
