[QUOTE="NJBeliever, post: 2522913, member: 851826"] I think you just need to take more time to study the Word. The Bible is a very long and rich book and is not easy to understand in one sitting. You raise some good questions but I think they are fairly easy to answer. 1. God is One -- You claim that going by the Old Testament and Hebrew, God only exists in one being. This is just not true. From the book of Genesis, we have God saying in Hebrew "let us make man in our image.." indicating more than on personage as the subject. Additionally, all throughout the Old Testament there are appearances of "The Angel of The Lord." These are what Bible scholars call a "Christophony" or an appearance of the pre-incarnate Christ. The interesting thing about this is that while we can debate in English who the "Angel of The Lord" is, in Hebrew there is no debate. The word for God in Hebrew is "Yahweh." The word for "The Angel of The Lord" in Hebrew is "Yahweh." So for the ancient Hebrews, there was certainly "more than one God" and this was The Word, also known as Jesus Christ. 2. As for saying the Bible disagrees, you have not shown in. We know that the Bible is indeed divine: 2 Timothy 3: 16All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: All Scripture is divinely inspired. Jesus told the Disciples that the Holy Spirit would bring them into rememberance when they were going to write the Gospels so for them the Holy Spirit authored through them. But again, God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are all one. So there's no contradiction or "blasphemy" in saying the Holy Spirit wrote the Bible. [/QUOTE]
