But many people worship Jesus more than God. Does God makes exceptions for his kids or is that why they invented the trinity?

  1. The Father also said you must go through My Son first in order to get to Me.  ("If you do not accept My Son, you do not accept Me".)  The Holy Trinity is One Holy Compound Unit!


  2. People often think of jealousy as a bad thing however in the Hebrew Scriptures at Exodus 34:14 it states in the American Standard Version "for thou shalt worship no other god: for Jehovah, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God" whereas the Young's Literal Translation states "for ye do not bow yourselves to another god -- for Jehovah, whose name is Zealous, is a zealous God." Related words for "jealousy" occur over 80 times in the Hebrew scriptures. “When applied to God,” explains G. H. Livingston, “the concept of jealousy does not carry the connotation of a warped emotion, but, rather, of an insistence on the singleness of worship of Jehovah.” (The Pentateuch in Its Cultural Environment)The New World Translation sometimes renders the Hebrew noun “insistence on exclusive devotion.” Or some others are “ardor” or “zeal" as we noted in the Young's Literal Translation. So, Jealous when used in the Bible in connection with God embodies the thought of exacting exclusive devotion."The verb to exclude is drawn from the Latin verb claudere, meaning to shut, with the prefix ex, meaning out; so the complete word means to shut out. This is, of course, the direct opposite of to include which means to shut in. Exclusive devotion to God must therefore be devotion that is unique; it shuts out or excludes every other person or thing from this devotion" However we know that he is the one who deserves this right? He is our almighty heavenly father and the one whom created human kind and everything we see, touch, hear and feel.

  3. I invented gravity.

  4. God gets a little confused at times. He said, "Thou shalt not  kill", and then he toasted Sodom & Gorrorah.

  5. 1Ti 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

    (in this verse the Bible tell us that Jesus is God)

  6. Jesus is God he said so

    The father and son are God along with the Holy Spirit.

    The three are one God.

  7. Jesus and God are the same.

  8. The Trinity is a false doctrine and really is not a biblical teaching.  

    What is the origin of the Trinity doctrine?

    The New Encyclopedia Britannica says: “Neither the word Trinity, nor the explicit doctrine as such, appears in the New Testament, nor did Jesus and his followers intend to contradict the Shema in the Old Testament: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord’ (Deuteronomy 6:4). . . . The doctrine developed gradually over several centuries and through many controversies. . . . By the end of the 4th century . . . the doctrine of the Trinity took substantially the form it has maintained ever since.”—(1976), Micropedia, Vol. X, p. 126.

    The New Catholic Encyclopedia states: “The formulation ‘one God in three Persons’ was not solidly established, certainly not fully assimilated into Christian life and its profession of faith, prior to the end of the 4th century. But it is precisely this formulation that has first claim to the title the Trinitarian dogma. Among the Apostolic Fathers, there had been nothing even remotely approaching such a mentality or perspective.”—(1967), Vol. XIV, p. 299.
