Well duh,
The Bible has more reference to becoming a child of God than it has for the word Trinity which does not exist... At least joint heirs is nothing to moan about...
Romans 8
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
Wow if we are good we too will get Eternal bodies of Flesh and Bone and also be glorifies!
Woo Hoo!
Shout for Joy!:)
Are you going to clear up the confusion about whether post one is yours?
“Wow if we are good we too will get Eternal bodies of Flesh and Bone and also be glorifies!”
IOW, another ‘God,’ since Mormon teaching claims that God has a glorified body of flesh and bone; but you can only make this claim while ignoring Isaiah, and many other scriptures besides.
As for “children of God,” and “heirs,” we are adopted children, not “literal” children, as the LDS or Armstrong cults believe, since they want us to believe that God is literally reproducing more gods. Nor are we inheriting the “fulness” or “nature” of God, as the Armstrong cults teach, but the kingdom that was promised to us as part of the Body of Christ, who is True Israel, and the true heir to all the Abrahamic promises.
Eph_1:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
Gal_3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
Hmm. The bible references everything specifically, then?
Tell me--How often did Christ eat?
How often did He bathe?
How often did He relieve Himself?
Since it is NOT mentioned, why do you do so as frequently as you do? That's not very biblical, is it?
Since Jesus Himself said that if we say Him, we had seen the Father, then we can deduce--using our intellectual gifts--the Trinity. It was a given, not required to be explicitly mentioned. But it was mentioned as something the audience of the letters all knew.
Read Hebrews front to back sometime. Get down into it and study. You'll find the trinity in there.
But FIRST the itty bitty Spirit Babies have to get a mortal HUMAN body to wear while on earth.
Didja ever wonder just WHY you weren't WORTHY enough, restornu, to be BIC?
