RELIGION PAPER HELP?!?
For my religion final I'm writing a paper involving the Trinity. My thesis is: "A close examination of the evidence shows that one of the earliest understandings of Jesus' nature is found in the early narratives and that this understanding is assumed by the earliest Christian writers. From this basis I will trace the development of Christianity from the early second century to the late third century, demonstrating how Christian thought moved from it's primitive understanding of Jesus to the foundations of the doctrine of the Trinity."
The picture I have included is the notes my teacher told me I should work on when finalizing my outline. She mainly tells me to work on my conclusion but I'm not sure exactly how to go about it. Please help? Xx

In the book of Acts, a man named Stephen was stoned to death.
But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, (Acts 7:55 KJV)
This one verse contains all three of the Trinity together.
Stephen being full of the Holy Ghost 1
Saw Jesus standing 2
On the right hand of God 3

the word trinity is NOT in teh bible , but rather was a concept brought about by the meeting of Constantine and the kings of the east..............he allowed each of the relgions to add somethign to the mold..
since Jesus said............" I and the father are one....one must take into consideration what ONE means in Hebrew. It means one in prupose not in body....
The holy ghost is NOT a God....it cannot create anything....Thus if God were to become the holy ghost, he would reamin as such thro all eternity, as the holy ghost is merely a spirit with limited powers.He cannot create but merely dwells within us....
God had 1500 pages or more to mention the word trinity....but never does,...why?..because God is a separate personage...jesus is his LITERAL son...as jesus stated..." our FATHER who art in heaven:"
Jesus was speaking of his father and our father who was not here on the earth as jesus was.
think about this now..the term to KNOW in hebrew means to have sex...." and adam knew his wife and she conceived."
so the term ..To be one....means..to be one in purpose...
God the eternal father is our father.............jesus is our redeemer.....and the holy ghost dwells within to helpo us walk the road thro life.
trinity is a term which came wbout from Constantine.....meaning 3............as he was not a prophet and was not able to interpret the term justly....so the church of Rome... added the belief that God was 3 in one....
being spirutally lost.....
the church of the jews was the same relgion of adam and eve..................and was to be brought back to the earth in the latter days.....read rev 3-10
' and I saw an angel flying in the midst of heaven bringing the everlasting gospel to the earth..."
the jews had it...but were scattered abroad....for centuries.....and the relgion lost.....
the angel flying in the midst of heaven was to bring it back in the last days.
