...bible and read it all the way through..? do you think he would believe in a trinity?

or would he believe jesus is gods son, and not the same person?
 
I'd thin he'd say--harry potter made more sense and had a better story line
 
Believe or have knowledge of?

I don't know that they would believe that Christ is God's son, but I think they would have knowledge of it. He says things like "I go to my fathers" and God says thing like "This is my son for whom I am well pleased."

As far as the trinity, that term isn't in the bible so I would say no, I don't think they would have knowledge of that.
 
If they were open to the leading of God through The Holy Spirit(even if they were not consciously aware of being open to God) they would find what God has there for them... The Bible is not intended for any one not open to God's leading... if they were not they would find nothing there for them... and any claim they had to any "Bible Knowledge" would be false.

Even among those who are of The True Church(The True Christian Faith) there is debate on some issues in The Bible... many go beyond what God has shown them and add their own bias... seeking answers, by study of The Bible, by any one of The True Faith, always leads to more questions... that is a lifetime effort and no one will ever complete it in this mortal world.... be very suspicious of any one who says they have it all figured out and "know" The Bible.... No mortal knows it all...
 
Depends on "his" intellectual development. If it was at any level of sophistication, "he" would get half way through Genesis chapter two, see the blatant contradictions to chapter one, and think it's a poorly written and worse edited fiction book.
 
You state person. Educated or not? I think an educated person reading the bible today would wonder how so many other intelligent people could possibly think that the bible is absolutely true and without error.

The whole bible is based on superstition: You have to believe in the supernatural.

There is no tangible proof of the supernatural.
 
natural man canot receive the things of the spirit they are foolishness to him,it must be reveiled by the spirit of god. hope this helps!
 
I think he would believe they were seperate people. Why would ONE person say this is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased while being in three different forms as a man a dove and talking from the clouds? This is me and I am very pleased in myself check out me as this dove flying above me to show that I have my power. It makes much more sense that it would be three. It would make even more sense that this story is just that A STORY.

Hope this helps
Keep thinking :)
 
If everyone picked up the bible and get together and discuss it and apply it the world would be so much better, and everyone would finally come to a truth and understanding

When I was a child, my mother who had no religious affiliation while she was young, use to tell me that there were many who will try to convince me that God, Christ and the Holy Ghost were the same person and not to believe them.
So as a rebellious teenager...I read the bible trying to prove that they were the same person as taught in Christendom churches...and I never found any scriptures that would indicate that God, Christ and the Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit were the same thing.
Instead, what I did read was that God has a name, Jehovah, and a son, Jesus Christ who has the same purpose, same desires, but were parent and child.
The parent teaches and works along side of the child and when the child becomes and adult, said child is a skilled and qualified worker, competent, as well as 'like minded' in beliefs, practices, habits and actions.
Thus Jehovah and Jesus are 2 different individuals with one purpose, to sanctify Jehovah's Holy Name and to bring to ruin, those ruining the earth and to restore a faithful mankind to perfection, while mankind restores the earth to a paradise. And God's Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost will accomplish that purpose.
 
They will not believe nothing. One can read the bible all the way thru and never understand it, so why would they believe in something that they do not understand.
I am a christian and there is alot of the bible years later that I do still not understand.
 
The bible has very many references to Jesus as God's son. It does talk about the holy spirit in Acts, but doesn't mention the trinity nearly as much as it speaks of Jesus. If the implied person only read it through once and didn't bother to pray or make a true effort to understand the scripture, then he might that person might not believe in the trinity.
 
With the teaching of the Holy Spirit the Word of God would become clear on all spiritual matters.
