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.
I guess we just have to agree to disagree. I used to believe in the Trinity myself 40 year ago. I know where you are coming from. Thanks for sharing your opinion.
What one world religion are you referring to? I don't see everybody in the world ever agreeing on one religion. unless you are referring to the millinium when Jesus rules. If Jesus is in Jerusalem I am up with that. Otherwise count me out.
The book is syncretistic in nature, and not his voice.

It's a composite of the various beliefs and thoughts of men.

True, but all these beliefs and thoughts agree. As the theology grows and the knowledge expands its stays true to its origin and does not make changes. Plant an apple seed and you will get a tree that produces apples which contain apple seeds. You will not get oranges if you plant apples. The Bible does the same from Genesis to Revelation.

funny thing about planting an apple seed; apple seeds do not breed true to type. interesting that you used that example, to me.
So i had to go look that word up, "ecumenism," i got led to; which i disagree with, to, in Est'd churches; while still holding that a Muslim or Hindu practicing righteousness is my brother. so, i see a counterfeit, and the real, seems to me.
i've read through your stream here, like 3 times now; still can't decide if you are ok with some sect, your sect, of Est'd religion, or not? ty

A plumcot is a natural cross hybrid between plums and apricots, which exhibit plum like traits.
However, there are now several varieties, and all are a crossbreed of these two particular fruits.
Do you have a preference on the flavor that dominates?

That is a wildly improbale claim, especially since the Old Testament is a history of the changing perceptions on the nature of God through the history of the Hebrew people.

I accept the bible only. I do not have a sect, belong to a sect, or follow a sect. Neither do I believe in established Religion. All religious groups are part truth and part fiction, yet claim to have the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Each church claims to be the true Church. There are a few thousand different organizations, so somebody is lying. When you join one they try to indoctrinate you with their version of truth. If you disagree, they don't want you around anymore. Which is cool, because who wants to sit in a hard pew and listen to somebody lie to them, when you can stay home, sit on a comfortable couch and let a TV preacher lie to you. I just stick with the Bible. If somebody comes up with something from the bible that I haven't noticed before, I will check it out.
