It is not reliable to ask people to tell you what the bible says. Many people will make up stuff because they don't know what it says, and many will make up stuff because they wish it would not say what it says. You just have to read it for yourself. Read a chapter of Proverbs every day. Proverbs has 31 chapters so you can keep your place by just looking at a calendar. There is no religion or nothing in Proverbs and you don't have to believe anything. Just read to find comfort and confidence. When you are comfortable with that, then read the bible from Romans to 2 Thessalonians over and over until you start to remember what it says. That is the part that applies to Christians. Here is a book to help you to understand the bible. It's a free download and you can get a hard copy at any bible book store.

Yes, it's a fair question. The answer remains the same.
The question was to point to Christ ! Do we really know Him? Who He claimed He was! Read on in John chapter 14:8-29 . It speaks for itself! God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. One God in three persons!
It's nice that you want to preach, but first you need to learn the business. Follow my advice and you will know more bible than most preachers. That's because most preachers don't study the bible, they only study the opinions of other preachers.
For example:
John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
The trinity doctrine contradicts those verses. That is why churches that teach the trinity discourage studying the bible, declaring that church tradition is of higher authority than the word of God.
Feel free to message me if you have any more questions.
John 4:34 says "my food is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.
if god was the father the son and holy spirit this scripture also contradicts trinity teachings ..this would read differently if the trinity was true- kind of like this- my food is to the will of me who sent me and to finish my work..
and god cannot be tempted by satan ..and jesus was definitely tried by satan when he offered him all the kingdoms of the world if he bowed down and did one act of worship to him.....how can you offer someone something that was created by him in the 1st place??(the father god Jehovah) rev 4:11.....and god cannot die ..and everyone knows jesus spilled his precious blood on the torture stake ......there are so many things that shows that god ..jesus and holy spirit are separate ..not a triune figure..i used to believe in the trinity and hell teachings until I started studying the bible 3 years ago and continue to be a student of the bible ..and serve the true god ..visit jw.org to learn about the bible and come to the proper conclusion on your own and if so , request a free home bible study
I think it is a fair question. From the two scriptures that was quoted was not made up. These Scriptures are from the bible, questions Jesus made clear to his disiples that he was not the Creator as most people believe. Meditate on these two scriptures with an open mind and you will understand the question.
Those who have studied philosophy have developed the view that the ultimate truth is not within mankind’s reach. You may know that philosophy has been defined as “the science that endeavors to explain the origin of existence and life.” In actual fact, though, it rarely goes that far. In Filosofins Historia (The History of Philosophy), Swedish author Alf Ahlberg wrote: “Many philosophical questions are of such a nature that it is not possible to give a definite answer to them. . . . Many people are of the opinion that all the metaphysical problems [relating to first principles of things] belong to this . . . group.”
