Heaven's eternity or eternal earthly wealth?

[Ryedo40 10]

Teeny, not all Christians agree with the trinity. It's not even found in the Bible. It's a doctrine that was fleshed out during the 4th Century - splitting various Christian factions. The invented doctine was eventually imposed by the Catholic church and the state under threat of death. There was also a movement within the Church to distance itself from its Jewish heritage "We desire, dearest brethren, to separate ourselves from the detestable company of the Jews..." - first Council of Niceae under Constantine; the same council called to settle the disputes over the invented doctrine of the trinity.

 

When Matt Slick(can't believe he's still around) says Christians affirm the trinity, he's not speaking for all Christians - because all Christians don't affirm the trinity. And neither did Christians at the time of Jesus. Matt Slick's arguements for a seperate God aren't entirely honest(but that's Matt Slick for you). And just because Islam and Judaism don't agree Jesus was the Son of God, doesn't mean you all don't worship the same God.

While the core aspects of the Trinity are clearly presented in God's Word, some of the side issues are not as explicitly clear. The Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God—but there is only one God. That is the biblical doctrine of the Trinity.

 

The holy spirit came after Jesus death where people were able to operate in certain gifts of the spirit
