i appreciate such a low-minded tactic.....but.....it still lack any scriptural basis for the assertions in the OP.
Cut-n-paste from the "Christian Dictionary" does not prove the proposed Trinity, nor does it prove anything about whatever the OP is alleging as the nature of God. So far the OP is rather incoherent, and that burden is on the poster since they are trying to "make a point".


Cut and paste from Mormon and Jehovah witness websites doesn't prove anything to the contrary. As for insulting ---- well, being a Christian I have nothing to say.

Actually most of my Trinity difinitions come from QuickVerse 2010 which has quite a few Bible Translations and Christian Dictionarys and I'm sure they know the teachings of the Trinity. God in Three Persons by Calvin Bisner was recommended on the John Ackenberg Show and Josh McDowell both well know Evangelics

If God really is a man, He has over exaggerated how big He really is!

over exaggerated?, isn't that a little redundant?

The New Testament teaches us that there is one God and that this God is three distinct persons, the Father the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and that these persons are co-equal and co-eternal. This is also the only possible interpretation of the Nicene Creed as it was intended by its authors. Therefore, the doctrine of the Trinity as taught in the Nicene Creed is an accurate representation of the teachings of the New Testament” pp 155-156

Genesis 1:

26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over £all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them

Genesis 11:
5 But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built.
6 And the Lord said, “Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them.
7 Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.”
8So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city.

notice how early in the Bible the Trinity is taught , singular God plural pronoun or persons . And you say Trinity isn't found in the Bible . It's there from Cover to cover, Genesis 1 to Revealtions 22

Wow, for a moment there I thought you had me...but then I remembered I don't believe any of this nonsense.

Sorry.
