Just a simple, primitive religion started by people living under Kings/Dictators and they used them as a template for God Back then brought before the King one was expected to get down on one's knees, swear loyalty & obedience to this King and this Master alone & beg for his mercy That was the life back then These were not democracies - no King would allow a disloyal person to remain in his kingdom It is like living in Putin's Russia or North Korea today If you want to live in such countries and prosper one better learn to praise the "Dear, loving Master" . And so that was the afterlife they envisioned A King like God sits on his THRONE in the Heavens Heaven is his KINGDOM Jesus is his PRINCE! Take the Terminology - "Commandments, submit, beg, obey, judge, wrath, punish, mercy, forgive, Fear" - ALL Slave/Servant words totally absent in Hinduism/Buddhism And this kingdom is for loyal members only - to get in, one must convert, get down on our knees, beg, grovel to the Master And if one is not Christian, one gets dumped into hell We are talking billions of people - Atheists, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews - entire families, women, children, even babies - to be set apart based on religion and callously dumped into gas chambers in hell Hitler would approve!

No trinity exists, the trinity is just a CONVENTIONAL (i.e. false) doctrine issued by two CONVENTIONS of the fourth century. It's directly DEBUNKED by Jesus, who is the directly concerned Witness-Person. Contrary to the doctrine He reiterates dozens of times to be ONLY WITH THE FATHER, NEVER WITH THE FATHER AND THE HOLY SPIRIT! One person too many: due to a misunderstanding of the gospels, a non-existing third divine person has been INVENTED by the bishops of the Conventions. Jesus tells you that ONLY THE FATHER IS INSIDE HIM But that FATHER IS A SPIRIT (no doubt, see Jn. 4:23,24). Thus ONLY ONE SPIRIT WHO IS THE FATHER is inside Jesus. Contrary to the trinity doctrine, "Holy Spirit" and "Father (who is a spirit)" are not two SPIRITS inside Jesus! They are just two EQUIVALENT NAMES for the same one Spirit. Simply the Father who dwells in Jesus is either called "Holy Spirit" or "Holy Father" by Him. He is the SAME ONE Spirit that before led Jesus into the desert and later also helped Him when speaking. In a sermon Jesus talks about the TWO blasphemies against Himself and against the Father (i.e. the Holy Spirit), no third blasphemy exists because no third person exists.
@@Durnyful 2000 years of death threats you mean. Only now you can speak the truth. "the Son is NOT ABLE TO DO anything of himself, but only what he sees the Father doing" (John 5:19) After being baptized the Son needed to follow the right route into the desert, so that the Father -who is a spirit - helped Him. The Father who is a spirit is the Holy Spirit of course.
@claudiozanella256 so what is the Spirit of the Son? Or the Spirit Who Proceeds from the Father and is sent by the Son? Or the Spirit who we are in communion with whilst in the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the Love of the Father?
The West broke every agreement they had with Russia and has been shelling cities in eastern Ukraine for almost a decade. Finally Russia faced with no other choice has been forced to take a stand against the satanic west and is taking action against their evil plans.
