Thoughts about Trinity beliefs

But of course this information is a subject for debate.

Correct.

Bible says conquer the evil with the good.

Very good sounding, the challenge with interpretation is the broad words evil and good.
The meaning of those terms, so powerful yet so fuzzy, and how the rule, "conquer good with evil" could be applied actionably to specific concrete instances.

The scriptures say to even love your enemies, to pray for those that persecute you, to love your neighbor as yourself, to do unto others like you would want them to do unto you, if we consider all the scriptures I think it sheds a different light on other scriptures,

Wouldn't Paul's words be an example for us to follow?

How can we be reliably sure that people will go to helpful scriptures to help them interpret more challenging or even harsher sounding scriptures?

The Jewish people that followed the old law, The Greek and Hebrew Jews that believed in Jesus, The Romans, and many others considered the other religions to be heretics, each one thought they were correct and the others were heretics.

Still going on too

Don't you think that people that give out false information comes in many shapes and sizes and uniforms?

That is not in doubt

rattle off all kinds of things about how they want to treat others like joel webbon does.

I don't know this person and I don't know what he teaches.

You may be better off not knowing. He's an extremist pastor. You'd have to look him up. If you want to. He's not very nice. I occasionally refer to him as an example of troubling trends in certain corners of evangelicalism, as his attitudes are extreme and harsh -but I rarely post links to him, not to give him too much traffic, and also some of his rhetoric gets into political territory which we are not doing on I/O forums anymore.

It is not important for me to debate this point or that point, what's important to me is to explain my fundamental beliefs with scriptures alone, and then look at the other person's fundamental beliefs and the scriptures they use to explain each belief.

That sounds healthy.
Some people want to fight and prove they are right. Your attitude seems more useful.

One thing I admire about Judaism is their long history of debate amongst rabbis and scholars, and how their tradition recognizes and embraces the fact that different readers will interpret various texts differently. The sage rabbis manage to debate and respect varying opinions at the same time.
