You're NOT a "True Believer" you're evidently a "Gnostic."
Do you have to believe in the Trinity to be a Christian?

StanJ thinks he, "Knows it ALL!"
You're out of your mind.
Like all trolls tend to do. :sigh:
Y'all should understand that you's doesn't know's everythin.
Seems like you've got into a bad habit of calling EVERYBODY
a troll? Either that or you're claiming their not a Christian?
You've accused me of both. Why don't you take your finger
off the trigger and try to have a decent discussion for a
change? Try anyway!
Cleavus Erastas once said: "The back of he you stab, may be the brother you sought, but slew in battle."
You believe Jesus to be the Word, just like Valentinus. Your God is an image of a trinity, thus you are still an idolater.
You don't even know the definition of the word "Gnostic". It doesn't mean the opposite of retard, though you are a retard.
Gnostic interpretations of the Greek Gospels are accepted as fact, when they are false.
Homer Strut Caste once said: "He who seeks to hide the truth, will
find it in the mirror."
Grosnick, are you sure that you aren't gnostic? Truth doesn't exist just in mirrors, idolater. Your shallow proverb reminds me of Gnosticism, religion based on experience and drugs. Are you sure you aren't on drugs?

You made that up.
For those who don't know, the "magisterium" is all the Churches bishop's, considered as a single body; when the Holy Catholic Church teach's on matter's of faith, doctrine and moral's, it is the magisterium who is teaching.
Speak for yourself. I myself find it confusing and have found it confusing, and thats whether or not I believed in the Trinity, which I haven't alway's. Now that doesn't matter if I'm not particularly intelligent, so instead of that anecdote, I offer up the wide disparity on this board among those of us who accept the Scripture as the Word of God, in what we each contend about the nature of God, based on our own understanding of the Scripture. This is objective proof that it is confusing, regardless of you're own personal experience, which is just another anecdote like my own personal experience.
See above. This is anecdotal evidence for you're position. True evidence is surveying the wide disparity's between what a number of people --all of whom believe the Scripture to be the Word of God --believe about the nature of God, and concluding honestly that the subject must be confusing, because otherwise we'd all agree.
Fine. Show me a chart with how many time's in Scripture that Jesus is called "Lord" versus how many time's David is called "Lord." Is it more or less than 1,000-to-1?
According to some people, yes they're is. See above. This is 1 of the example's of the different view's that people who accept the Bible as the Word of God put forth to explain the nature of God.
I myself see the distinction, so therefore the Holy Spirit is not the Father. But the Holy Spirit is God.
I fail to see the relevance of this question, given that you made up that the Bible is to be heeded, even over what all the Churches bishop's teach in unison.
I am not 1 with the Father. John 10:30 KJV
John 14:6 KJV
I believe the Trinity should be taught as the truth, regardless of whatever bearing believing in the Trinity has on 1s salvation.
I disagree with you're rendering of that passage. I would suggest that its more like this:
16 For God [the Father] so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God [the Father] sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God [the Father].
Its not so confusing. You're version reveal's some of you're own self-imposed confusion however, coming from you're stubbornness in rejecting what the Churches pastor has been teaching from Pentecost.DJ

I would say that a Trinitarian is always an idolater.
I think you're purposely trying to get banned. On another thread
you used foul language and now this. You're probably angry about
getting banned recently and you're taking it out on yourself?
Prescription drugs only. I've never taken illicit drugs. And, I'm a
child of the 60s. Never even smoked pot.
Omni, perhaps they'll show mercy on you and not ban you this time? I
reported your "foul language" on another thread, but, you may escape
getting banned or you may not? Time will tell.

I think you are lying and smoking pot. It helps with you feel gnosis, doesn't it?
Omni, you really ought to stop the foul language and name calling? Posters
may frown upon you for that?

you were right. It didn't take long. :ha:
Yeah, he's a nasty fella.
