Very good thread Ed..... could it be possible that the trinitarians are involved in a cult? After all, the doctrine is not founded in scripture at all! If anything it is based on a theologians hypothesis or theory! Let's take a look at Websters for the definition of Hypothesis:
Websters Dictionary, hypothesis, A system or theory imagined or assumed to account for what is not understood. An unproved theory. theory, a speculative plan...a formulation of underlying principles of certain observed phenomena which has been verified to some degree...a conjecture; guess.
How often do we here the defenders of the trinity saying, it is something that will never be able to be explained or understood and it is a complete mystery? What kind of line of logic and reasoning is that anyway? It's a line of reasoning that I am no longer a part of !
As followers of Christ do we need to rely on the speculations, conjectures and guesses of so called high handed theologians to know who or what God is? If the majority of Christians today want to base their salvation on some theologians hypothesis or theory, then that is between them and their God! I chose to rely on the inspired Word of the One true God of the Holy scriptures.
I think John stated it well as to what a cult is in 2 John 7-9:
"For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son".
