Be perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect. Matth 5:48, without holiness you will not see the Lord Hebrew 12:14. Only those who are pure in heart will see God. Matth 5:8. Work out your salvation with fear and trembling. Philippians 2:12, only those who keep the commandments of God (including #4) and the faith of Jesus will be saved. Revelation 14:12, 22:14. I exhort you to live holy and pleasing before God, keep the faith in Jesus Christ. 1Corinthians 10:13

[Psylliumhead]

@markpaghi A man is saved by the finished work of Christ. The Scriptures teach truths we are commanded to believe. Sometimes we don't understand it, but that does not make it untrue. I DO NOT BELIEVE IN 3 GODS. The trinity doctrine teaches ONE God, that exists in three persons. Since Jesus was human and never ceased to be God he had 2 natures. Read John and Romans. Your argument is with Paul not me.

[markpaghi]

@Psylliumhead The days are evil and the end is near, it isnt time to mess around with fairy tales of floating ethereal entities and three headed gods. It is time to bow down to Jehovah and worship in the name of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the spotless lamb of God. God has made Jesus who was crucified both Lord and Christ. Acts 2:36. Rev 1:5-6, 3:14,  God is on the throne Rev 19:4, Jesus is at his right hand Rev 5:13. Listen to Jesus Matt 19:17, John 8:40, Acts 2:22, 10:38. Peace

@Psylliumhead Not only that, you hold fast to greek philosophy, like when you die you get freed from your body and float to heaven as an eternal soul. Soul/spirit have nothing to do with a disembodied entity. Study greek/hebrew. What goes to heaven/hell, spirit or soul? If spirit, then Eccle 12:7 teaches all mens spirits go to heaven. So will everyone be saved? If soul, then Rev 16:3 teaches fish go to heaven when they die. You need to learn what they mean instead of listening to fairy tales.

[markpaghi]

@Psylliumhead You cannot logically believe that God died on the cross. Jehovah cannot die, he is eternal. If someone is human, can they be a dog at the same time? Do you seriously think something eternal in heaven floated down and put a flesh suit on im marys womb? Do you think when we die we float around as disembodied souls? If thats the case what is the point of our bodies? What is the point of Jesus being raised? What is the point of a resurrection at all? Can't we just float around?

[markpaghi]

@Psylliumhead The NT does not teach a trinity. trinity is a made up word. If it was a bible teaching we would not need to make up words to teach it. Many "proof" texts are erroneous translations, but most modern day christians do not study or question the doctrines, the church is full of lukewarm hypocrites that teach for doctrines the commandments of men. Mark 7:6-9.John 1:1 is the most misunderstood scripture, used for the trinity, yet does not mention the holy spirit. Time to study greek/hebr

[markpaghi]

@Psylliumhead Is God the Father the one who begot Jesus, or is the holy spirit? Matt 1:20, Jesus called God his Father not the holy spirit. It is the power of God Luke 1:35. Is Jehovah not the God of Jesus? Matt 27:46, John 20:17, Rev 3:12. Is not God the head of Christ? 1Corinth 11:3. Did not God raise Jesus? Acts 2:24,32, 3:15, 3:26, 4:10, 5:30, 10:40, 13:23,30,33,37. You need to read the greek manuscripts and see if what you believe is true about the trinity. Think logical and rational.

[markpaghi]

@Psylliumhead And anyone who transgresses the law needs to repent or they will perish. 1John5:7 is not even in the greek manuscripts, not to mention they personified the holy spirit by adding "he" to it. The word is a neuter word, not masculine, the holy spirit is not a person but the power of Almighty God. Is not God eternal spirit? Is not God Holy? So God is a Holy Spirit. Why then add another person to the pagan polytheism?

[markpaghi]

@Psylliumhead Furthermore, you hold fast to the teachings of the beast (roman catholic church), like you take mary and add the holy spirit as a person for your trinity. you hold fast to sunday worship, breaking Gods 4th commandment. Whoever worships on sunday obeys the beast, the mark is coming soon. you think people can sin and still be saved, holding fast to a powder puff christianity, when God has called us to live holy and separate ourselves from this world. All who sin transgress the law.

[markpaghi]

@Psylliumhead I am well aware of the trinity and the pagan emperor constantine held the council of nicaea, putting the trinity doctrine into effect, as well as Sunday worship laws for the roman Sun god (day of the sun-sunday), and many other blasphemies like Mary, Father, Son trinity, which you derive your teachings from, Sunday worship, eternal security, born as a sinner, purgatory (hell is the same) which hell is sheol/hades(grave) not a place where God tortures people forever, etc etc.

[markpaghi]

@Psylliumhead Are we not saved by grace, not works? The works of Christ do not apply to me Ezekiel18:20, his sacrifice of shedding his blood cleanses me of sin. Hebrews9:22. Trinity teaches 3 gods. It is ancient babylon blasphemy. You, Me, and Brad cannot be one person. We are three separate "persons". Jesus did not have two natures, he was human. And where Adam failed he succeeded, he was obedient to death and was made the author of life to all who obey him. God raised Jesus from the dead.
