The trinity is a false teaching

1) God says he is the one and only My whole point in this was to show that yes 3 things can be one, however if the 3 things are talking to each other ************************************************************************************* Now you are simply jumping from one foot to the other. IF one thing IS three separate and individual things then those things can interact with each other or else in WHAT sense would they be three? If I pour water onto ice it will melt.. this is interaction between ONE substance in TWO states. ************************************************************************************* 2) Bible writers would make it clear that they are all one but the argument is that esus never DIRECTLY said he was God's equal! ************************************************************************************ John 14:9-11 (New International Version) 9Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? 10Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves. ************************************************************************************* 4) God couldn't be tempted to join a cause against himself ************************************************************************************* I agree (in a sense) which means ONLY God (Jesus Christ) could be trusted to do the job. Only a 'spotless Lamb' could be worthy of sacrifice. You mean tempted as in 'realistically troubled'. Jesus had a human body with all the frailties and needs that we all have, so yes he was tempted in this sense. I mean in the sense that he could not be tempted BECAUSE He is God. Your argument that God cannot rebel against God only stands up if he had of failed.. He did not rebel.. He is God. ************************************************************************************* 5) Jesus being God would be counterproductive to his Cause Did he not perform miraculous miracles? Did he not make the blind, see; the paralyzed, walk; the dead, rise; GUESS NOT. ************************************************************************************* "And others will come who will do even greater things" Jesus showed us what faith in a man can do. NOW your arguing that He must have been God! Yes Jesus became a 'perfect human' to pay the price of ALL of our sins.. NOT just Adams. How could one man (however perfect) pay the price for all men? Let us look at some more scripture that CLEARLY teaches that God is a trinity and that Jesus Christ IS God. Genesis 1:26 26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, [b] and over all the creatures that move along the ground." Do you see? Let US make man in OUR image in OUR likeness. RIGHT at the start He's letting us know. Hebrews 11:25-26 (New International Version) 25He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a short time. 26He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward. Here Paul is referring to Moses.. 'Disgrace for the sake of CHRIST' in the OLD Testament! The Bible clearly teaches that God is a trinitarian God and that Jesus Christ is God. My opponent has done little more than repeat the same confused doctrines that I have refuted in round one. I am slightly embarrassed that this debate has degraded into a 'yes it is' no it not' affair.
