I believe in one God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the Creator of all things, represented in three persons the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. I believe God the Son came to earth in the form of a man, Jesus the Christ born of the Virgin Mary. I believe that Jesus of Nazareth the Christ died, shed his blood on a Roman cross, was buried and on the third day bodily rose from the grave for the redemption of man kind’s sins.

Many have accused the Christian faith as having many (three) gods. This is not true according to the Bible. In the Hebrew texts (the Christian Old testament) God was referred to in many different ways, God-my-Healer, God-my-Provider, etc. These were different names for the one true God. I have never heard a reasonable and logical human explanation for God-the-Father, God-the-Son and God-the-Spirit. Yet this triune God or God in three persons is clearly taught in the Bible (John 10:30 I and the Father are one! also John 17:11 and John 17:21, John 14:26, John 15:26 and John 16:7) and must be accepted by faith. If I had to explain it in human terms I would do so as follows; I am one person, a human being: I was born with a mother and father therefore I am a son, I am married therefore I am a husband, I have children therefore I am a father. As a son I have one role in relation to my parents and so-forth with my wife and my children. I am not a split personality yet I am a different person in each of these roles. This is a feeble attempt to explain in human terms a spiritual phenomenon. COMMENT WELCOME.

Born of a virgin. Matthew 1:23 "Behold, the virgin shall conceive in her womb, and will bear a son. And they will call His name Emmanuel," which being interpreted is, God with us. and  Luke 1:27

Jesus Died and rose from the dead. Rom 5:6 For we yet being without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. Rom 5:8 But God commends His love toward us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. Rom 14:9 For this Christ both died and rose and lived again, that He might be Lord both of the dead and living. 1Th 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will also bring with Him all those who have fallen asleep through Jesus. Mat 26:32 But after I have risen again, I will go before you into Galilee. Mat 28:7 And go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead. And, behold, He goes before you into Galilee. There you shall see Him. Lo, I have told you. Mar 16:9 And when Jesus had risen early the first day of the Sabbath, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven demons. Mar 16:14 Afterward He appeared to the Eleven as they reclined. Luke 24:34 And they said, the Lord has indeed risen, and has appeared to Simon (Peter).

I believe that all of man kind was created equal and that there is no place for prejudice due to race, religion or nationality. I believe God loves all of man and wishes for none to parish. Yet only the individuals redeemed through the blood of Jesus the Christ will be with God in eternity.
bulletJohn 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Eph 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love with which He loved us...  1Jn 4:10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation (substitute) concerning our sins. 1Jn 4:11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
bulletRom 3:10 as it is written: "There is none righteous, no not one; Rom 3:23 for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, Rom 5:12 Therefore, even as through one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin, and so death passed on all men inasmuch as all sinned: Rom 5:8 But God commends His love toward us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Rom 10:13 For everyone, "whoever shall call on the name of the Lord will be saved."

I believe man kind is to be a caretaker of earth and should not destroy her.
bullet(Gen 1:26) And God said, Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over all the creepers creeping on the earth. (Gen 1:27) And God created man in His image; in the image of God He created him. He created them male and female. (Gen 1:28) And God blessed them. And God said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply and fill the earth, and subdue it. And have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the heavens, and all animals that move upon the earth. (Gen 1:29) And God said, Behold! I have given you every herb seeding seed which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree in which is the fruit of a tree seeding seed; to you it shall be for food. (Gen 1:30) And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the heavens, and to every creeper on the earth which has in it a living soul every green plant is for food; and it was so. (Gen 1:31) And God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. Gen 2:15 And Jehovah God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to work it and keep it.
