here is your quote/
http://vintage.aomin.org/CHALC.html

why are you trying to use human words to explain Jesus when you say human words can't explain him? it makes you a deceiver to say human words can't explain Jesus, then latter on try and explain him with human words. IN fact to be true to your beliefs, you should never talk about Jesus, at least not with human words.

you're slipping there simon, another something other than "no comment' to my posts to you. feeling sick or something?

I'm not ignoring you in the absolute sense. I'm just refusing to engage you in theological/metaphysical/philosophical discussion/debate.

Clmanning, what simon is saying in a nutshell is that there are two Jesuses, one JEsus is lesser than The Father, the other Jesus isn't. And of course 2 Jesuses are/is one YHWH. .both Jesuses together are one YHWH, so one Jesus isn't YHWH, only 1/2 but numbers mean nothing so 1/2 is 1. get it? see it's all very simple, YHWH is made up of 3 persons of God, and YHWH is 2 JEsuses each distinct from the other. So YHWH= 3persons of God= 2 JEsuses.

and so the father is only greater than one JEsus, who he is 1/3 of, but the other JEsus God the Father is not greater than, which he is also 1/3 of (since as simon claims YHWH is or exists as both Jesuses.) confused? Now you get the idea. the more confused you get the better you will understand the irrational word of God. rational thought is a no no.

http://vintage.aomin.org/CHALC.html

so like it says, you gotta get irrational. and human words can't explain it, so they use human words to explain it. Irrational, confusing ? now you are understanding it. The big mistake that non trinitarians make, (speaking from a trinitarian perspective which I am not) is that they try and understand the trinity with there rational mind and should instead get irrational, then it will all be unclear and once you reach the state of unclear, you got it down pat man. Simon you might want to copy this for future reference to use in explaining how to understand the trinity. bascially it's get irrational and stay as far away from rational as you can and you will understand trintiy. You need to emphasise the irrationality of it and steer people away from being rational. You haven't emphasised this enough,IMO. People , like me, just automatically assume that you are trying to make rational sense in what you say, but if you were to emphasise that you are being irrational and not rational, that trinity can only be explained irrationally, then people wouldn't attempt to make rational sense out of anything you say. That is your great failing in explaining your beiefs, you let people assume you are being rational. Reread the quote above from the great trinitarian theologian, James White, and take his adivce to heart. irrational, is the key word. As the quote from the reknowned trinitarian theologian who is greatly admired says, Jesus is in the realm of the irrational. we non trintarians all believe Jesus is iin the realm of rational thought so you are failing to emphasise the key component to understaning you IRRATIONAL.

I'll thank you not to speak for me, especially when you obviously have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about?! If 'clmanning' wants to ask questions about or seek clarification on anything I have said then I am more than capable of speaking for myself, thankyou [It's stupid comments like that that make me more determined than ever not to engage you in any kind of discussion or debate because all you do is deliberately distort anything and everything that I say?!].

that's the idea, now you got it.

They are Persons distinct from each other They are still the One and Only Absolute Reality who is YHWH

my analysis of the above statement

2dl said:
two Jesuses, one JEsus is lesser than The Father, the other Jesus isn't. .....both Jesuses together are one YHWH

so you got it. My rational analysis of your irrational thought fails because it rationally assumes that when you say
they are persons distinct from one another, that they doesn't mean 2 and distinct doesn't mean they aren't each other, gottcha, I forgot to get irrational.. and when you said they are YHWH, my analysis that 2 jesuses are one yHWH was wrong cause I was thinking ratinoally again. gottcha.

[/quote]
hum doesn't stupid = irrational? not exactly i guess, some stupid people can be rational, and some super intelligent people can be irrational. LIke lots of stupid people are rational enough to know that the odds are stacked against them in kasinos, and lots of intelligent people go there and throw all there money away. go figure. Intelligence isn't all it's cracked up to be.

anyway i wasn't talking to you , just responding to your post. you know like you aren't talking to me just responding to my posts. man I think we are hitting new hights of irrationality. don't forget we aren't talking to each other just responding to each others posts.

If you are truly born again the Holy Spirit will give you a sufficient understanding of the Trinity.

Dont expect to fully understand we are talking about an Almighty creator who speaks to create something out of nothing and it is done!

says you not scripture. no scripture says that you just made it up. you are making up your own requirements for salvation that have nothing t o do with the biblical requirements.

an irrational explanation, such as trinity, is no explanation, not even partial. an explanation explains something, Nonsenseical irrational statements explain nothing. 3 is one explains nothing, it is irrational and contradictory. A partial explanation of something explains something in a rational comprehensive manner, not in an illogical, contradictory irrational, nonsenscial manner. Your irrational explanations are no explanations. Not partial, not fully.


I don't know fully how an air conditioner works but I know that there is a rational explanation for how it works, I don't fill in the blanks of what I do know with a bunch of irrational statements such as an exkimo comes down my chimmney at night and puts some north pole ice in it. cause thats the only possible explanation. that's how your tirnity explanations work. 3 persons of god each of which is god all by himself but not if you want to add the 3 up, in fact you can't even callthem 3 you have to call them one, but if you call them person of god, instead of g od, then you are permitted to add them up to 3 .otherwise the same 3 individuals are one individual. which is just as irrational, even more, than my exkimo theory of air conditioning.


Every time our understanding of the bible and god increases, it increases because we comprehend more about god, and understand more about God or the bible, we neverincreas our understanding with irrationality, that only decreases our understanding. all you can do with irrational statements , such as 3 is one , is accept them you can never understand it. so your understanding of god is not increased by believeing he is 3 and 3 is one, your understanding of god has decreased to the point of non comprehension.

Sorry brother....but that's how I see it!!!!!

Correction. That's how you choose to see it because you do not want to believe the truth (and since you choose to base your understanding on the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures that's hardly surprizing).
