I would say, Meshak, that those who reject the Trinity must, perforce, reject scripture, but on to other things. Your autobiography was very interesting:
I would like to share my back ground of my faith in God and Jesus
I grew up without much of moral standards. I am from Okinawa, Japan.
Japan has a very strong public morality based upon Buddhism and Shinto. So you grew up disbelieving in the Buddha and in Shinto?
So I struggled to find out what is right or wrong all my life. I followed world's standards which it is not such high, even in Christian country like America, even though they claim to be a Christian country.
America is not a Christian country. It has not been claimed as such for many generations of its most significant citizens. In the Book of Revelation, it is portrayed that people being called out of many nations are being saved but, significantly, does not say that nations are being saved.
I got married when I was 24 and he was 25 years old. He is a Lutheran which is his family faith, one of Christian denomination. But they don't value much of Jesus' teachings and did not apply His teachings in their lives.
He is a retired soldier. We got married when he was stationed in Okinawa.
So we were both immature mentally and spiritually, and naturally our marriage was a disaster.
long story short, I became desperate when I was about 50 years old, I am 69 now, because of our disastrous marriage.
Sorry to hear this. I wonder, though, if your disastrous marriage had much to do with your decision to reject the doctrine of the Trinity. Are you rejecting the Trinity because of your husband?
So I asked God to make me a Christian. Then I started read Jesus' teachings.
Why were you not lead by the Spirit of God who leads us to all truth?
I did not ask any Christians advice for Christianity, because they don't seem to have strong faith, and don't know what it is to be Jesus' followers. They made me confused with so many ideas.
If you didn't have faith to begin with, how is that you seemed in your own mind to believe that these others did not have a strong faith? Do you believe that you have strong faith now?
And slowly my inner self have changed completely. My insecure feelings vanished, became confident in God and Jesus by striving to follow Jesus' high moral standards.
But is salvation found in your own works: your moral life, your seeking to escape from insecure feelings?
I can see clearly how those fake Christians disgracing Jesus with their lukewarm Christianity, and spreading false gospel to the world.
Jesus opened my eyes. I was blind and now I can see.
That's why I am so grateful for Jesus' teachings and strive to live by them.
How do you know that you are being led by the Holy Spirit? Is not the rejection of scripture a form of lukewarmness?
Jesus teaches us to be salt and light of the world. That's why I believe true Christians don't engage in the wars and recommend their fellow believers to avoid all world's political affairs. This harmonize with Jesus' word of "His followers are not of the world".
Pacifism is only sound if it is seen in relation to other values. It is not absolute of itself. If you fail to fight great evils such as the Mongols or Hitler, at a certain point, your failure to fight them is a collaboration in their evil.
We cannot avoid political affairs and wars without becoming evil.
