Here is the link to the thread. If It becomes a big can of worms, then they can delete this thread. Judaic Christian Forum - Trinitarianism: What Non-Trinitarians Believe
The trinity IS a hard thing to grasp, I admit. As a 34 year baptist, even I have trouble wrapping my head around the "3 in 1" thing.
I would spend more time on it, but I don't see why I should. Christ died for my sins, I accepted His gift of salvation and try to live as He'd want me to. THAT is Christianity to me, THAT I can wrap my mind around - but the vast things of heaven are beyond my reach - like the stars are beyond my reach.
I have compared my intellect to God as my dog's is to mine - but that does not even work, God's intellect is WAY father ahead of mine, that mine is ahead of my dog's. I don't stand a chance of understanding something like the trinity - and anyone who claims to fully understand it, or understand the depth of God's love, or a thousand other deep truths of God - is deceiving us (and probably themselves, too).
If you dont' believe in the trinity, they you BETTER prepare to explain it when God speaks of "we" or "us" (depending on how it's translated) when He speaks of Himself.

The words "let us" is an interpretation for the Hebrew word "we" imperfect. It is used a number of times in scripture to refer to ones self. AKA the "Royal We." In those places it should have been translated as "I" for the English language.
Hi, you seem to me to a very sincere young'in. That means that I am surely older than you. But here is how I see that posting. (yours) First comes Matt. 4:4 & then 2 Tim. 3:16 both are required mandatory Truth. And doctrine is required right?
OK: O.T. finds Gods way in the Sanctuary. Psalms 77:13 So lets just say that you come to the Sanctuary daily as is required, and you offer the required lamb
offering (representing Christ sacrifice in Faith) which does indeed find 'them' & you today in Rom. 8:1 without Condemnation. And let's say that they went NO FURTHER into the requirements of.. washing, eating the bread, & the altar of incense + on. In other words, lets say that they say as you seem to say?? That you are Rom. 8:1 In Christ with NO CONDEMNATION.. which is true, perhaps, (and I say perhaps because only you & God know that) and now you come up further up to Rom. 8:14 of BEING LED OF THE HOLY GHOST & you & they say, I NEED GO NO FURTHER ON, for I am Saved.
This is where both would find that they are right back [out/side] of Christ CONDEMNED! (as 'i' see it) You don't think so? well, what if God was wanting you to be His last day minister. Surely you would not think that you qualify with the knowledge of Heb. 5's milk do you?? And surely God does not want one to stay Rev. 3:16 dormant? Inspiration states.. SPEWED OUT, sickening.
And a humble 'flea' beside of God's 'knowledge' is just a cop/out as He see's it! Phil. 4:13 + 2 Cor, 12:9. All of the Bible Writters could & would agree to that!
Yet, most were executed before being a likewarm cop/out! See Dan. 3:14-18
--Elijah
PS: And yes, 'i' do believe in Jehovah God & Christ God who both have an Image that we were patterened after, + the Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost God as He calls Himself who has NO image, yet, is one of the three seperate individuals that make up the Family of God!
A person can be more than one thing at the same time. For instance, a man can be a husband, father, and son all at the same time.
I think the same is true of the Lord. He is the Father (Creator), Son (Jesus), and Holy Spirit (this is his name, I believe, when he speaks directly to us), all at the same time.
The elements that make up the Earth are ancient, and the creation days are epochs of time, but what the Evolutionist say is also a fabrication. Mankind is very dishonest. If you will note, the calendar only begins with the creation of Adam. So how much time passed after the creation of this universe until the creation of the Earth, the bible does not say. And how much time passed until the creation of Adam, again the bible does not say. Dinosaur bones that were not identified as such were carbon dated as being about 6 to 12,000 years old.So I can't trust my Bible because it's translated wrong. Thanks - I'm gonna use that argument for a 4.5 billion year old earth!
Ya did me a favor!
Did you even read the link I provided? Judaic Christian Forum - Trinitarianism: What Non-Trinitarians BelieveA person can be more than one thing at the same time. For instance, a man can be a husband, father, and son all at the same time.

Creation scientist do not agree with the Evolutionist. Scripture does say that Adam was created in Gods image from the dust of the Earth. That being true means that things did not evolve. It is true that life forms have limited adaptability's.I think the scientists agree that the dinos went out millions of years ago.
But I do agree with your statements about the time frame of Genesis.
So much of this we will never know for sure - and I think that is by design, to some extent.
