VIEWS:

'Fundamentalists believe that everything in the bible is true

Conservatives believe that it is not directly the word of God, but the personality of writers comes through too.

Liberals believe that writers write creatively like Shakespeare and could make mistakes in fact. Stories are more symbolic rather than true.

THE TRINITIES:

God the father: God is the creator of everything that exists

He continues to show his love for the world

God the son: WE are all the son of God, but Jesus is uniquely, directly the son of God and he will return in the future.

God the holy spirit: The holy spirit sent by God to sort the lives of Christians and guide them and be with them.

JESUS' EXISTENCE:

Bible writers are all Christian so they could have a bias view.

Josephus and Tacitus 1st Century historians say Jesus lived.

Tacitus is Roman, why would he make up Jesus' existence?
