I know I sound harsh but do hyou honestly see the purpose of continually going back to the past, which no one can prove and trying to apply what you think about the past to modern day living?
Today you aren't facing sin by an individual so much as sins against people by corporations eg bodies of people often led by the worst type of psychopaths and sociopaths. Technically these people could be classed as mal-formed mentally and emotionally sick so who is responsible for the real meaning of sin?
Do you make a man give up his job which supports his family because of the acts of a corporation which employ him? Where do you insert religious belief in this scenario?
I don't see how, unless you sosmehow 'grow' these ancient teachings into teachings that fit the way the world has moved on and actually is today, because these teachings relatd to earlier and much 'simpler times' . Is there any purpose in continually harping back to incomplete texts whose scribes often made mistakes in translation and altered things to fit their perspective for that ancient time?

Not long ago, the Lord gave me $200,000. I said, "Lord, what am I going to do with it? I don't need it. What did You give it to me for?" He said, "You passed my test."I said, "Passed your test? What in the world did I do to pass Your test?" He said, "You fulfilled a scripture. Tell them everywhere you go...tell them that the Bible is my test; every time they fulfill a scripture, tell them to never worry about the answers to their prayers."
Misguided Faith
I have asked the Lord, "Jesus, why do you bless me like this?" "Because you passed my test," He answered. "How did I pass your test?" You fulfilled the Scripture," He said. "My test for the human race and the Church is obedience to the Scriptures." This statement seems simple to me. God has a test He wants you to pass. He said, "I don't have any other test except the Scriptures. Tell my people that there are blessings attached to each verse that is fulfilled by any believing Christian.
Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled
Anyone who assumes errors in Scripture contradicts Christ to His face. He said of the whole Scripture and every single word of it “And Scripture cannot be broken.” Those who wish to restrict the inspiration of the Holy Scripture contradict the Apostle of Christ who testifies “All Scripture is inspired of God.”
Scripture Cannot be Broken
Jesus Himself confirmed the verbal plenary inspiration of the Scriptures when He said, “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law...” (Matthew 517-18). In these verses, Jesus is reinforcing the accuracy of the Scriptures down to the smallest detail and the slightest punctuation mark, because it is the very Word of God.
Because the Scriptures are the inspired Word of God, we can conclude that they are also inerrant and authoritative. A correct view of God will lead us to a correct view of His Word. Because God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and completely perfect, His Word will by its very nature have the same characteristics. The same verses that establish the inspiration of the Scriptures also establish that it is both inerrant and authoritative. Without a doubt the Bible is what it claims to be—the undeniable, authoritative, Word of God to humanity.
What does it mean that the Bible is inspired
So Scripture is unbreakable, or “indestructible” even. Not in a physical sense – plenty of Bibles have been successfully destroyed by fire. But in the sense that Jesus uses in Matt 2435 “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.” The doctrine of the unbreakability of Scripture means that God’s words never lose their truth, relevance or power. We never move beyond Scripture, and we never argue with Scripture. Or as J C Ryle explains it
“Wherever the Scripture speaks plainly on any subject, there can be no more question about it. The case is settled and decided. Every jot and tittle of Scripture is true, and must be received as conclusive.”
The Unbreakability of Scripture
The very next day 6 PM came and no Lord. I waited till 6:05 and began to wonder. At 06:07 I began to pray. God spoke to me and said, "You have no need I appear to you. You now know all I ever did say and ever will say is what the Bible says. The Bible is My Holy Word. It is YOUR responsibility to read the Bible and find out what it says."
To this day, if I have a vision or appearance, and IT DOESN'T AGREE WITH THE BIBLE, I reject it. Period. God stays in line with the Holy Word. Jesus Himself said the scripture cannot be broken (John 10:35, Matthew 5:18.) If you want God to speak to you, read your Bible. The Bible IS God talking to you. And yes, stick with the 1611 King James version. Spend time in praise and worship so you can discern what the Bible is saying.
OUR NEED TO PRAISE AND WORSHIP HIM
Yeshua began His answer: "If you had read My Book you would have known all the answers."
"In fact, everything that My children need to know about how God thinks and works and judges and rewards, either before or after the Cross, is already in My Book. That is why I commanded mankind to ‘engrave My Words upon their hearts,’ and to pass them along from generation to generation. I wanted everyone to hear and know just Who I AM, the Messiah, their one hope of Salvation, their Most High God."

Sorry, I don't get it, if someone could enlighten me, please:
There are three gods? And he, the creator and unfailable made a mistake, when he created mankind? Or did I read that wrong?
Also didn't that Rabbi, what's his name, say 60 days after Sharons(?) dead the final prophet would start his workings?
That already happened: Hi, btw.
Not to make fun of you, just asking

Oky, I may be stupid, but I do not really understand the reason behind the post. The Title suggests it has to do with the "trinity", but the content I'm not sure yet. Is it about the return of the Messiah, how everything works form Creation to Revelation, or how Revelation will turn out. I just what to know exactly what you are looking for.
Man, I am tired of all this trendy and fashionable hatred of authority, distrust and jealous envy of just about anyone and everything authority linked.
The name Horeb means to reduce to ashes with fire. It means to lay waste. None of this seems to be a God of love or compassion for enemies. 2000 years have passed with no leadership from a visible Divine leader. The coming of Christ is supposed to set us straight. From the sound of it, He intends to keep being Yahweh.
This thread is simply noting the evidence so far. War, war and more war. It's coming again. And again. Love must be defined differently than I suspect.
