how can a Christian be saved when Jesus says that eternal life is to know the only true God and Christianity says that you have to believe in Trinity for to be saved?

Jesus Christ:

"Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent."

(John 17:3)

Christianity:

"Whosoever will be saved, before all things it is necessary that he hold the Catholic faith. Which faith unless every one do keep whole and undefiled, without doubt he shall perish everlastingly. And the Catholic faith is this: that we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity"

sunshine in Stockholm Sweden after six months in darkness

if it wasn't exactly six months it feels like that anyway

Atheism is as old as the Hebrew Bible:

"There is no God."

(Psalm 14:1)

this is in the Gospel according to Matthew

Jesus asked his disciples: “Who do you say I am?”

Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”

(Matthew 16:15-16)

Christianity has a different Jesus.

this is a Christian definition of who Jesus is:

“We, then, following the holy Fathers, all with one consent, teach men to confess one and the same Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, the same perfect in Godhead and also perfect in manhood; truly God and truly man, of a reasonable soul and body; consubstantial with us according to the manhood; in all things like unto us, without sin; begotten before all ages of the Father according to the Godhead, and in these latter days, for us and for our salvation, born of the virgin Mary, the mother of God, according to the manhood; one and the same Christ, Son, Lord, Only-begotten, to be acknowledged in two natures, inconfusedly, unchangeably, indivisibly, inseparably; the distinction of natures being by no means taken away by the union, but rather the property of each nature being preserved, and concurring in one Person and one Subsistence, not parted or divided into two persons, but one and the same Son, and only begotten, God the Word, the Lord Jesus Christ, as the prophets from the beginning have declared concerning him, and the Lord Jesus Christ himself taught us, and the Creed of the holy Fathers has handed down to us.”

Christians think that they are wiser than God

God, Hashem, says:

"I am the Lord, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God." (Isaiah 45:5)

Christians say that there are three because they know better than God

what a shame!

"God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them"

"We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God."

from 2 Corinthians 5:19-20

Replying to Slowslow

is

"Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life."

(1 John 5:12)

you can't turn anything in the Gospel of John against this:

"But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name."

(John 20:31)

"these are written" includes the words of Thomas and it is clearly stated what you should believe for to have life

I use Primal from desktop computer and Amethyst from an Android tablet, both are very good

everything that is written in the Gospel of John points to this:

"But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name." (John 20:31)

many Christians believe that the Gospel of John proves that Jesus is God but they are totally wrong

#Bible

the Gospel of John says what you should believe

it is this:

"But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name."

(John 20:31)

#Jesus

Jesus didn't say that he is God

this is what he said:

John 10:36

"do you say of him whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?

Jesus was falsely accused of many things

you believe his accusers instead of believing Jesus
