I guess I have to respect those frieds I have who do believe but for me - nope with a capital N - this stuff was only introduced in the middle ages anyway and has no connection the the Jesus stuff - Arius disputed it at the council of Nicea but was over ruled by the powers of the day who were in the pay of Constantine anyway and the whole issue is exactly why the various schisms arrived in Christianity and why there are about ten trillion versions of the Bible as well.......
ya..i do believe in my God, i believe in my father (biological) and i also believe in anything that is holy. so i am cool. so i am pretty sure i also believe in holy trinity.

If you believe jesus died for all our sins, why dont you push the button? And nuke the whole world to kingdom come and get it over with. You are all waiting for salvation while its right here in ur hands today. The reason you dont dare is because you believe. And believing means its all speculation. So why do you always talk like its your absolute truth. In my mind that's unbelievable. Even the word believing won't please God. Because it actually means you doubt it. Is this so hard to grasp?
God is SOVEREIGNTY .... This term defines the fact and nature of God's volition. Since God possesses volition, He makes decisions, plans, policies, etc. (Gen.1:3, 26). Due to His nature, He has no rivals as He exercises supreme power and rule over everyone and everything. There is nothing outside His jurisdiction (Deut.4:39; Ps.93:1,2; Isa.44:6-8; 45:5-8,18). As the absolute authority in the universe, He alone possesses authority as a part of His essence, which He may or may not exercise, as He sees fit (Job.34:13-15).
The human has a choice....
And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. ...He who has the Son has life; HE WHO DOES NOT HAVE THE SON OF GOD DOES NOT HAVE LIFE. [ John 5:11-12 ]...... ( This requires a personal Choice in a point of time )
In this case NO choice is still a choice,,,,, Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe STANDS CONDEMNED ALREADY because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son. [ John 3: 17-18 ]
We ( YOU ) Must Receive Christ... Joh 5:39-40 You examine the Scriptures ( Old Testament prophecies ) carefully because you suppose that in them you have eternal life. Yet they testify about me. But you are not willing to come to me to HAVE LIFE. .......... ( This requires a personal Choice in a point of time )
God promised a Savioir He did what He said he would....."I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not give my glory to another or my praise to idols. See, the former things ( past prophecies) have taken place, and new things I declare; ( future predictions ) before they spring into being I announce them to you."[ Isa 42:8,9 ]
Over 300 Messianic prophecies found in the Old Testament or Tanakh were fulfilled by Messiah Yeshua (Jesus Christ) & are recorded in the New Testament!
. Jesus appeals to the Scriptures as validity and proof... (John 5:39) "Search the Scriptures; (O.T. Scriptures); they are they which testify of me." (Luke 24:27) "Beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them, in all the Scriptures (O.T.Scriptures) the things concerning himself." (Luke 24:44) "...all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets and in the Psalms, concerning me".
God's Testimony about Jesus comes through prophecy...” Anyone who does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because he has not believed the testimony God has given about his Son [ throught Prophecy ]”.[ 1 John 5:9-10 ]
.......The end result or the prophetic conclusion of the first advent of Christ was Jesus being risen from the dead .God by raisng Jesus fulfills and confirms the OT prophets words and validates Jesus claims and actions
In Acts 17:31, Paul told the Athenians, "'For he [ God ] has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man ( Jesus ) he has appointed. HE HAS GIVEN PROOF OF THIS TO ALL MEN BY RAISING HIM ( JESUS ) FROM THE DEAD.
There you have it God is not going to accept anyones excuses for not believing he will judge accordingly...
Your eternal destiny hangs in the balance this is not a game.... This is an offer that no one should refuse Jesus said, "repent ye, and believe the gospel" (Mark 1:15). ...You Can Receive Christ Right Now By Faith Through Prayer
Ask Jesus to accept and save you..........."Lord Jesus, I need You. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Make me the kind of person you want me to be."
........ Warning............. If you die without believing in Christ, then your fate will be eternally sealed, because belief in Christ and the gospel must occur on earth before you die (Lk. 16:19-31; Jude 7, 13; 2 Pet. 2:4, 9)..
