Trinity

What are your thoughts on it and why?

Is the trinity a subject we may discuss in the CF forums? I'm not sure.

If the subject is ok to discuss it could be most interesting.

I've always mused over the idea that mankind(finite) can define the Infinite(G-d).
Makes for some very strange Mathematics.

Indeed, it is off-topic for this forum.

Thanks, rather thought so.

Seems G-d has, indeed, been put successfully into a manageable box where He belongs. Cuts Him down to our size.

Thankfully I firmly believe in G-d the Father-the Son-and the H-ly Sp-r-t and then some.

In general, YHVH is best undefined. The infinite can not be isolated to the finite even if it is the finite mind trying to wrap itself around the infinite.

There is a similar discussion going on in Unorthodox Doctrines where it would be allowed...

One cannot escape the fact that all through the Bible G-d is presented as a plurality and yet as one, as having both diversity and unity. This concept of G-d is unique among all the world's religions. To reject the triune nature of G-d is to reject the G-d of the Bible - and to come, ultimately, under the delusion that will cause the world to obey and worship the Antichrist when he comes.

It is not a taboo subject in this forum unless you teach that it is wrong.

It seems not much has changed, (in 1700 years).
