So if you don’t accept the Trinity, you are either a Mormon, a Unitarian, a non-Christian, or not familiar with your own religion.

“So if you don’t accept the Trinity,”

GOD does not help me because GOD approves or disapproves of what I am doing.
GOD helps me because GOD is GOD. Because GOD is life. Because GOD is love.

GOD does not help me because I am good. GOD helps me because GOD is good.

—James Dillet Freeman

I didn’t say I don’t accept the trinity. I said I don’t understand it. I also don’t believe it’s terribly important to understand it. I also don’t believe it’s terribly important to accept it. I think as long as you believe jesus was here in the flesh and rose from the dead and had an important message for us from god, then that’s all that matters. Any more specific than that and you are getting in over your head.

So if you don’t accept the Trinity . . . .

___________________________________________________________

The Holy Trinity as now as now defined by the “Christian” Churches was not known until the 3rd century.

When you look at scripture references about God and Christ being one it refers to being one in purpose. Moses tells us in Genesis that Adam was in the image of God, and that Seth was in the image of Adam. Paul tells us that God and Christ are one, but he also tells us that Christ and His Church are one and continues to say that a married man and woman are one.

When Christ was baptized by John the voice of God was heard from Heaven proclaiming Christ as his son and the Holy Ghost decended upon Jesus at the same time.

When Stephen was being stoned he looked up into heaven and saw Christ and God with Christ at God’s right hand.

The Godhead is God, Christ and the Holy Ghost, Mormons believe that they just don’t believe they share one body.
