This post isnt to fuel any fires or start arguments over doctrine.(But its inevitable). So I was thinking about the Trinity and Modalism. It seems to me that when Jesus says:
“I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.”
John 8:24
That as long as we believe that Jesus is “I Am”( Y-hweh) we are good. I know both Trinitarianism and Modalism believe that, the just describe it in different terms. So my first question for you guys is this:
1: Do we as Christians need to believe that the Holy Ghost is God, to be saved? (If so, please provide scripture. If not, please provide scripture.)
2: Is it possible that, because we are fallen beings, both Trinitarianism and Modalism are insufficient to describe the Godhead(I’m not looking for examples for the fear of falling into heresy lol).
Lets keep this civil and scriptural
