And as the Bible describes in many scriptures, Satan is an enemy of God. I know all that believe the Bible would agree with that. And the Bible also explains that God is most powerful of all creatures and that is something that Satan has never challenged. So Satan's only recourse is to undermine something that God holds dearly which is our worship and our relationship with him. Again many scriptures urge us to worship with "spirit and truth" and that "accurate knowledge" is what will gain us favor with our God.
Do your beliefs stand up to the truths of the Bible or has Satan been able to slip in untruths and paganisic teachings into your beliefs?? Make sure as your life is at stake...

G75 I have to correct you on one point God is not a creature. He is the creator of said creatures 😉

I'm not saying I agree with Newton but He apparently had issue with the doctrine of the trinity.He researched this very subject. I was mostly referring to what was said early in the post. You seem very knowledgeable is why I asked.

I understood you.
I don't know what Newton thought about the trinity. But I do not hold it against him that he had issues because the Trinity is to be experienced primarily rather than systematized into mere objective knowledge.
It would be interesting to me to learn what Isaac Newton said on the subject.

I do not yet know as I ought to know.
A caveat on Sir Isaac Newton.
He was an alchemist, a strand of his hair was analysed in the 1970's and was found to contain over 40x the normal level of mercury.
By all accounts he was a very, very odd man and so by the time of his death was almost certainly 'mad as a hatter'.

He is a spirit being then. But still going with that thought Manny, Jesus is described as being the "first born" of all creations. Hence Jesus is a creature. That still does not mesh with him being God then if God is not a creature as you say, but Jesus is a creature or creation.
Something to think about?
the lure of power of course; evidenced by elaborate, unnecessary hierarchy viz. pope, cardinal, archbishop, bishop etc. The pope used to have the power to declare war and expect christendom to respond to the proclaimed 'will of God'. Even nowadays papal pronoucements influence policy e.g. contraception.

Well to me anything living is a creature but it's just a word and maybe not the right one. I meant nothing more then that. But your explination or thought that God is not a creature but with the Bible saying that Jesus is, is the only point I'm trying to get a thought from you on...
God cannot be both " a creation and not a creation"...

The painful inability of religions to accept the facts of this existence in order that they doggedly cling to every single aspect of their inept dogma - sorry, their "belief" - is where every major religion is going wrong.
Where did religion go wrong?
