Frank,
Lightseeker are you a trinitarian or not?
your post certainly indicated you are
if you are, you are in error and need to repent of that false doctrine
thats my love there Lightseeker
trying to warn you and others that the trinity doctrine is false
I believe the Rev. quote is spoken from my Lord and savior. And if He was rebuking/chastening me....I would repent. But since it's you who as much as called me a 'false prophet' in a previous post. I think I wait for someone with a better 'discerning of spirits', if that's OK with you brother. I think you're one even if you don't think I am.
Rev 3:19 I, as many "as I love, I rebuke and I chasten." Be zealous, then, and repent.
Your second verse confirms the same authority source. That isn't why you only gave an address is it? Please let me do it for you.
PRO 3:12 For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
To answer your question as best I can: All I know for sure is that 'great is the mystery of god'. I also know that I am a spirit, soul, and body (1Thes 5:23). Or as I prefer to say, I am a spirit I have a soul and I live in a body. Are you? If so, then are you a trinity? I guess I wouldn't consider myself one by any of the definitions of the nomial church. Hope that helps.
Well I'm off to homegroup seeya lovya bye.
Lightseeker, I think your hugest error leading to your belief in the Trinity is your misunderstanding of the composition of a human being. You believe a human is made up of three parts, i.e. body, spirit, soul. This doctrine, however, has influences from pagan philosophy, such as Plato, who taught dualism of body and soul and the immortality of the soul—all of which are anti-Scriptural.
For example, God created man in two stages, resulting in man's living form.
[1] And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground,
[2] and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life;
[3] and man became a living soul (Gen 2:7, KJV).
Man become a "living soul" after God formed him from the dust and breathed into him life. The soul is not a separate component of a human but is indeed the human him or herself.
I am a soul, you are a soul, however, I do not have a soul, considering I AM the soul. When I die, "Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it" (Ecc 12:7, KJV). There is, however, no third part. I have a body with a spark in it that animates it. I am the soul. Take away my spirit, and I am no longer a soul.
If you think about it, the creation of man supports a unity, and not a Trinity. Jesus and God are two beings that make up one flesh or Elohim, just like a Spirit and body are two separate components that make up a living soul; just like a man and woman are two genders that become one through the flesh—which was all created thus and written for our “admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come� (1Co 10:11, KJV).
I'd be glad to debate with you via AIM, MSN, or PM.
PS. Keep studying. Discovering who and what Christ is and who and what the Father is and their relationship is the most difficult of the searches the elect engage in. I, myself, have been struggling with whether or not Jesus is Yahweh. However, I stand strong to the fact that "to us there is but
one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and
one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him" (1Co 8:6, KJV).
Keep seeking the light, but listen to the nightmare! Har har har.
