52. Did Jesus ever say, "I and my Father are one?" Yes. John 10:30.

56. Can Trinitarians show that three divine persons were present when Jesus was baptized by John? Absolutely not. The one, omnipresent God used three simultaneous manifestations. Only one divine person was present--Jesus Christ the Lord.
57. Then what were the other two of whom Trinitarians speak? One was a voice from heaven; the other was the Spirit of God in the form of a dove. Matthew 3:16-17.
58. What did the voice say at Jesus' baptism? "Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." Mark 1:11. As the Son of God, Jesus was the one God incarnate.
59. Does the Bible say that God shed His blood and that God laid down His life for us? Yes. Acts 20:28; I John 3:16. God was able to do this because He had taken upon Himself a human body.
60. The Bible says that God is coming back with all his saints (Zechariah 14:5) and also that Jesus is coming back with all his saints (I Thessalonians 3:13). Are two coming back? No. Only one is coming back--our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. Titus 2:13.

An excellent defense of the trinity. 🙂
Wrong!
4. Do these titles as used in Matthew 28:19 mean that there are three separate and distinct persons in the Godhead? No, they refer to three offices, roles, or relationship to humanity.
There is only Unity. The Trinity are Gods titles.

You are mistaken, clearly there are cases of the Father and Son being separate entities as with the Holy Spirit.
However, as you have shown they must be the same person- three in one. 🙂

Well, as there is a real God there is also a real Devil/Destroyer, to keep this information from people, but this squabble that you are trying to create deviates from what I posted earlier. If you want to argue semantics go right ahead, I'll have no part in it. Life is a gamble, if you prefer putting your chips on disbelief you're free to do so.

And if there wasn't a written word to pass this all along to us? Who would be damned.
If what the Bible says is true, God will not judge those who truly do not know, it's what happens when a person knows that gets them into trouble, hence why babies should not be baptised unless they are of mature mind.

Originally posted by CaptainStoicAccording to the Bible the world was full of people during the time of Noah. He destroyed it because of evil. If god thought it was evil then they must have heard the truth to know the difference. How many missionaries were there at that time for this to be possible or does god destroy the innocent.

There are deviants all over the world my friend (rapists, pedophiles, sadomasochistic murderers... etc...etc) the list is long. Do you think that the people that commit heinous acts against others don't realize what they do?
God is also a jealous God, and would have no other name replace his. Knowledge as I pointed out earlier is what bless' or damns us. Those people that were destroyed in the biblical flood were filled with blasphemies, and other things that made God repent for creating man... which brings up another point, to repent means to stop doing what you are doing. God wanted so badly to wipe man off of the face of this planet.
all the same this is getting way off topic.
Anyone that wants to know what the Bible say about who Jesus is should delve into this.

The reason the Bible is not clear on many issues is because it was not written by god. There were historical facts and, fable lessons thrown in with some accounts of a spiritual man who taught great things. It was the early church that spliced and pieced it together for their own sake and reasons, power and control. It is as simple as that. Constantine was not a lover of the Hebrew god. He was a Sun worshiper. He had a coin mented stating himself with the Sun God. Anatomically correct Sol, the Sun god, standing left, wearing a radiate crown (crown of sun rays) and a chlamys (small cloak) fastened at the shoulder, with his right hand raised, holding in his left hand a globus (celestial orb) decorated with an equinoctial cross (representing the spring and autumnal equinoxes), offering the globus to Constantine (symbolizing Sol granting Constantine the power to rule the universe), standing on the exergual line, inscription "SOLI INVICTO COMITI" or "To the invincible Sun god,

This is why the Bible cannot be considered a factual bases for what a god would actually say. Constantine the Great is the founder of the Christian faith and the Christian faith is based on Sun Worship and Paganism.
Constantine was actually a very cruel man even to the point of boiling his wife alive and murdering his sons.

You're either confused or on the wrong path, John Constantine could have known the bible better than most Pastors but so does Satan... this does not mean that they in any way are Christians, just tools set up to be stumbling blocks as you appear to be.
The bible says that there are those that will wrestle against the scriptures to their own destruction. It also speaks of how an Angel of darkness can appear as an Angel of light. I say to you this... there is only one truth, whatever path you are on, I just hope for your sake that you don't know any better.
Whatsoever we try to teach whether it is good or ill, we will be held accountable for, so you should be very careful about what you tell the sheep.
I will repost as often as it takes, because you are deviating from the original posters subject, by bringing up this nonsense, it's hard to kick up against the pricks.
