The Bible is a collection of books written by different men at different times from different cultures over many centuries so obviously we find many 'Contradictions'. I personally believe Jesus would never have contradicted Himself, the differences come from the mindset of Scribes and the flow of time....

Keiw1,

Yes it is very different. Adam in the second creation story was created from dust. Spiritual beings are born…from God. Can anyone think that being born again implies a new physical body ? No you are born of the Spirit….your resemblance to God can only be spiritual….for God is without physical form.

The Trinity is supported in this way. In the transfiguration story(Luke 9:35) God says, speaking of Christ says ‘listen to him’….if Jesus was not part of the Trinity it would have been more logical for Him to have said ‘listen to me’. It also supports the emphasis on the virginity of Mary. God must remain the Father. The Father gives praise to the Son…..the Son gives praise to the Father….this implies total equality…no separation between the two.

You must consider the difference between a created being and one that is born of God.

God used holy spirit to guide his bible writers. Errors were translated in by the religion that came out of Rome to fit false council teachings. God being a trinity was the biggest error.

Keiw1,

Yes, unless the Trinity exists. It could have been either a unanimous decision or a majority decision…..:)

It doesn't exist. Jesus was clear at John 17:3--This means eternal life, their knowing you(Father) THE ONLY TRUE GOD and the one whom you sent forth Christ Jesus.
