getting different replies from christians are pretty common. one example can be used in many situations. similarly, 1 scripture may carry many different meanings. it's good to talk about it and know how those "meanings" come from. if they are from the bible and according to the teachings, i doubt any christian would say that it is totally wrong.

some angels do have wings. check Isaiah 6, Ezekiel 1:24
and there are other creatures with wings in heaven like cherub or cherubim.

it's kind of kind to understand the concept of trinity, and different people might give different illustrations. 2 of the illustrations that i use the most would be:
illus 1:
think of a cup of milk coffee. a milk coffee is only a milk coffee when there is black coffee, sugar/creamer and milk, they are 3 but yet known as 1, milk coffee. it's not a complete picture, but it can be absorbed easily by many people who first come across this trinity issue.

illus 2:
think of your father. your father is a father, at the same time, he is a man, and he is also a husband. this illustration is also pretty simple and straight forward.

if i remembered correctly, there is one question posed mentioning that "your God is weaker than a bunch of jews". to reply this, there are many point, but the host didn't even mention 1 of them. (by the way, after some googling, seems like the video is made by anti-christians and the channel does not really exists) alright, some answers Jesus died in the form of a man. Jesus was a man in nature, but a God in identity. there for the man can die, but the identity of God remains. this is not going to be easily explained... i give up explaining this through online forum. . apart from that, Jesus' crucifixion is part of God's plan. an animal need to be sacrificed so that the sin of man can be put on to the animal and the animal die in place of the human. it's also similar to Muslims, Hari Raya Korban. to carry the sins for all, a pure spotless being is needed. therefore Jesus came.

anyone going? tonight is the last night. it's in bukit jalil putra indoor station from 7pm-10pm(probably ends around 10.30pm).

just go into a church, if you notice there are ushers, just tell them that it's your first time there and is not yet a christian. they will guide you or introduce you to someone. if you dont see any ushers, just walk in and have a seat, after the sermon/preaching/sharing/whatever-you-call-it you can approach the speaker and have a talk on things that interest you or questions.
just remember to open your heart. go there with a readiness to accept whatever that comes at you. might be a correction, might be something that you've never thought about, might be something that can impact your life (for better of course ). be ready to receive.
