Learn to count to two!

He was not the messiah, because he didn't fulfil the messianic prophecies.

And we don't need him for salvation, for that we need God, and the NT is not authoritative

Ok, then it doesn't seem like it's worthwhile to quote selectively from the book of Mark.

What can you tell me about the messiah from the Old Testament? Is there a need for a messiah at all? If not for salvation, what would be his purpose?

Just read the beginning of chapter 19 of Genesis, and you see that at least two of the men were angels.

So no "God in three men".

So how did Abraham know who was who? And how does this conform to not seeing God and living?

If only Christians could count to two....

:listen:

If only you believed what you read in the Bible!

1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

If only Christians could count to two....

The whole Bible, even the NT, teaches that there is only one God:

Romans 3:30: "Seeing it is one God, …"

I Corinthians 8:4: "We know that an idol is nothing in the world and that there is no other God than one."

idem verse 6: "But to us there is but one God …"

Ephesians 4:6; "One God and father of all, …"

I Timothy 2:5; "For there is one God …"

And look what James says in James 2:19; "You believe that there is one God, and you do well."

And the fact of the matter is that a "God the Father" and a "god the son" is TWO (2) gods.

And not one.

And therefore Christianity is polytheism, and idolatry.

And saying 1 + 1 + 1 = 1 is not going to solve the matter.

At least not for those who are able to count to two.

That is right, there is only One God.

Jesus is that one God the Father come in the flesh.

Jesus is that one God the Father come in the flesh.

Jesus is not the Father. Jesus is God. The Father is God. There is one God. You don't have to understand it, just believe it.
