The trinity is from Babylon, Egypt, Persia, Caanan and other Pagan places. It was not in Judaism or early church. Think God is 3 people? Who conceived Jesus, the Father or the Holy Ghost?

The book is syncretistic in nature, and not his voice.
I don't find your view to be more Biblical, nor do I find the Trinity confusing. I know what I believe, and why I believe it, and why the Protestant, Roman Catholic, and Eastern Orthodox churches hold to the Trinitarian view. I've already shown Scripture which show that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are distinct 'Persons' within the Godhead, and won't bother repeating them.
Hold to whatever belief you want. Again, I know why I believe what I believe and I have no need to shove it down your throat. I will let what I've already said in posts# 5, 83 and 89 be enough.
ya, it's plenty, Mike555, wadr.

Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?'

The bible is not syncretistic, but churches are. Church organizations, especially catholic and orthodox, take the jewish bible teachings and combine them with regional/local pagan teachings. This combination of Jewish and pagan theology called ecuminicalism forms a new religion that is part truth and part fiction. People who reject these new false teachings are called heretics.

you might seek a better def of "religion," Richard1965, than the one that encompasses seeking God on His terms, which is sort of the opposite of religion, imo, "Man's attempts to seek God." Religion always requires and presupposes a State, briefly.

funny though, the Book initially presents as quite unsyncrawhatsis, and His Voice strikes me as synced. So you might expand on your concept here, this is cool, ty.
Blasphemy!!!, lol. Ya, this is designed to occlude Word, i am convinced.
This is why you run when asked if you have any problems with this, in that case:
In the beginning was the Bible, and the Bible was with God, and the Bible was God.
See, because this describes the "Trinity" as you understand it, and
the real verse describes the correct understanding,
namely that all Three are WORD.
"In the beginning was the WORD" = GOD.
"And the WORD was with GOD" = HOLY SPIRIT
"And the WORD was GOD." = SON

I'm afraid i am not getting you, because the Book relates the beginning to us, Creation, and you are trying to make a point from there about God, so i am suffering too much CD, i guess? lol
