ah yes. Because I've been to obscure sites that interprets Christianity or the trinity in a different way. also, I was wondering do most of you here attend churches regularly? and do you read the Bible independently?

honest answers nice. I'm not a Christian btw, but am not offended when people teaches their beliefs. appreciate the links(I've taken a quick tour of the sites).
Also, is there anyone here that has study religion comparatively before?

no need for apologies (kinda feels weird being thanked for not being offended..) I've only seen a few videos discussing about the subject(trinity) but have never read the verses regarding it myself.
Also, is it alright for a non Christian to post on this thread a bit?

yes actually. I stumbled upon a blog post today, it belonged to a Muslim who has some unorthodox views regarding her religion. Her understanding of the text lead to a conclusion contrary to the standard ruling of most scholars (I think). Which reminded me of an old video where some people were discussing/debating the concept of trinity(both have a different explanation of "the trinity").
in summary, I was only wondering if there is anyone here who read and study the bible and is also a regular church goer but disagrees with his or her church views on some things. Also, do any of you here identify yourself as Catholics or Protestants?

alright, got it. I will tread carefully.

*edit* I understand that this thread is for resting and not debating. I hope my questions aren't intrusive.

ah nice. relevant to what I want to know too.

oh a protestant in Malaysia. I don't know much, but which denominations are more abundant in followers in this country? also, as a protestant you don't use the imagery of Christ or Mary in your churches right? do you remember the incident where an image of Mary appeared in the window of a building in malaysia? what is your take on that?(if I'm not mistaken it is being kept in a church now?)

*edit* excuse me for the last question. I know it might sound weird for me to ask that but I have watched a couple of miracle videos and I am generally curious. Oh, and thanks for answering I'll look up on the subjects that you've presented.

I see. I will study further to understand more.




yes. I was looking for anyone with a different understanding of the trinity but also other concepts in Christianity. It was because I have seen some people come to a different conclusion when they began to read their texts independently (mostly in Islam and Christianity). this was because of having a lack of understanding, too much understanding, the desire to change the Religion to suit his or her preferences, or in other cases, a general genuine need for truth.
I will try to understand more regarding Tritheism vs the Trinity. thank you for the keywords!

you are right about the divine mystery. I understand the inability of the mind to comprehend God fully. In my understanding, in order to accept the incomprehensible, I,you,they,anyone will have to understand the context of the presented subject/Topic/entity to see if the incomprehensible is compatible with the subject/topic/entity or in this case, God(general understanding) and Religious Texts.
I see that you have accepted the concept of the holy trinity as it is. thanks for answering! I'll be sure to ask if anything comes up.
P.S, I hope my English was not confusing. I'm terrible at grammar.



*edit* in other words, what I meant above is simply that in order for anyone to accept the trinity or other concepts of God. the trinity itself must fit with the whole understanding of the religion/Christianity. Or in other words, the religious texts. which then brings me to my original question regarding how constant are you in reading the Bible to which you answered "daily" and you have also come to the conclusion of the holy Trinity after reading and understanding the Bible am I correct? again, thanks for answering! I'll be sure to ask if something comes up.
