But , anyway, I mentioned that Jonathon worships a "triune yhwh", whereas Jewish people (my family) worship a "singular YHWH" because a well-meaning friend of mine was suggesting I'd be happy becoming a Methodist.
She was not aware that the trinity god is a DIFFERENT god than the Jews worship, so not only would I be changing religion, I'd be changing gods, and I explained to her I was not willing to do that.
You don't understand the Trinity doctrine. YHWH is the God of Jacob for both Jews and true Christians. He is triune in the sense that He has three natures, even though Jews don't recognize or understand this. It's the same God Almighty, who happens to possess three natures, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It is not a different God; only the understanding of YHWH's nature is different between the two groups. Even though Jews don't claim to worship a triune YHWH, that's the nature of the deity that they are worshipping whether or not they choose to acknowledge it.
It is explained in great detail right here: http://144000.110mb.com/trinity/index.html#1
You say that even if we don't love God we should "act like" we do. That is being a fake and a hypocrite, is it not?
Not at all. The comment is directed to Christians who sometimes don't feel like they "love' God like a spouse or their child. I didn't say to pretend to love God, but simply conduct yourself as if you would if had those deep feelings of love; be respectfull, determine what his will is and act according to Christ's commands. You're reading too much into that.
Because it is possible that you are worshiping a false god...therefore showing contempt to the true god. And before you say it isn't possible because the bible says so...prove it.
You aren't paying attention. As I explained in detail above, it's not something that can be proven, or needs to be proven, but taken on faith, belief. That's the standard, and that's good enough for me and billions others. You may continue to frame the issues in terms of "proof," but by doing so you are evading the answer that you don't want to hear because you can't argue successfully against that. It's not about proof, but faith, belief. Proving anything to anybody in this context won't get you saved.
Its not that I believe that the older gods were in fact more godly than your god...but what evidence do you really have that you are correct?
Are you just dismissing other gods?
Well, of course, absolutely. There is only one triune YHWH in my opinion, and he alone is to be worshipped.
And here is the problem, it is your opinion isn't it?
Again, you aren't paying close attention to what I wrote. I explained it need not be proven, hence no evidence is necessary, and that it was my opinion. By grace you are saved, through faith. As Christ said, blessed is he who doesn't see yet believes. Hope this helps.
