Jenna,

I'm still encouraged that you admit that your views on the Trinity are, and I quote, "not good".

There's still hope for you yet!
John 5:24
24 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.


“A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves.”

this is why i choose not to get involved in this, even though my views of the trinity are not good.
So, I said there's hope for you, because you admit that your views on the Trinity are not good.

Like I said before, the first step in fixing a problem, is realizing that one has a problem. You realize that your views on the Trinity are not good. That's the first step towards fixing your "problem".

:D

And, I hope you feel better soon.

Well, then it looks like you've taken a step backwards. You went from realizing your views aren't good(your problem), to being in denial again.

to put it bluntly, i dont agree with the trinity. I do not have a problem with my views, so i dont need to fix them. in my opinion, it is the trinity believer who should change their view.

You don't believe Jesus is God?*

not sure how much clearer i can make it, Rick.
I just wanted to be clear. Some people think Jesus was a man while he was on the earth, but then attained some kind of "godhood" when he died.

So, you're saying you believe Jesus isn't now, nor ever was, God in the flesh? Immanuel?
I'm saying that Jesus was a Son of Man, and God is the Head of Christ, and any further definition comes from men, who by definition have some agenda, whatever it may be.
