That is so illogical. God the father of logic would be offended by such illogical babble. God doesn't bend the rules of logic for anyone not even himself. If you are being intellectually honest you would admit what you just said sounds ridiculous and objectively it is ridiculous. You couldn't get away with that logic anywhere else I don't see why you can get away with it here.

I don't think one is getting at all bogged down in words. How we describe the Trinity is very important, as this is a central Christian teaching. And certainly one does not want to end up professing thitheism. One take I have on the trinity is that that Father signifies the primordial ordering of all creative possibilities. The Son signifies the objectifications of the primordial nature. It is God entering into finite reality and being present as initial aims for occasions. The Holy Spirit, consequent nature, signifies God's intimate responsiveness to creation, that is, God as supreme effect.

I don't understand what you problem is here. He simply professed a very traditional concept of the Trinity.

You have to do all these flip flops and illogical reversals to come to the conclusion of the trinity. It's just too contrived to be true in my opinion. It is no where in the bible. Why would God hide the trinity? No where does paul for instance say behold the mystery of the trinity! There are so many times God could've just came out and said the trinity exists but doesn't. Man created it. All of the verses trinitarians use to claim it exists are easily debunked so thats my take on it.

Oh, OK, I see where you are coming from. It is true that the Trinity is largely an extra-biblical doctrine. The Bible implies a Trinity, but does not work in out in any real detail. Trinitarian concepts such as "substance," came from Hellenic philosophy, not Scripture.

imallllikeokwaitwhat,

Sorry to cut in but what is illogical about the trinity to you specifically?
What is your context that you believe about the God head and that you think is so logical and more logical than the trinity and can you prove it by scripture? Jerry Kelso

nothead,

1. The order of Melchizadek was for the purpose of showing Christ priesthood as being eternal.

Nevertheless all know priests are lesser beings than God. Just say "theos" and tha...that's IT folks.



Em, methinks you got your own thinking bassackwerds. Trinies say BOTH man and God not NEITHER a man or an angel. The number of times Jesus is SAID to be a man numbers right at 150 times, sir. The number of times GOD is in my book, nada.
So then twice Wong do not a right make, my man. Two Wongs DON'T make a white, and one Wong happens to be Wong aw da way, WHITE?
3. Probably written about Solomon is guessing.
Yauaw.
TIS guessing, but there aren't many other options, ALL being kings coronated as options.
Nevertheless as a double-fulfillment prophesy, the first option in near-view WAS a man, considered an "elohim," sir.

FULFILLMENT is a manifestation of prophesy. Jesus was not being a PROPHET, here...since he wasn't PROPHESYING anything, genius. Nothing to FULFILL, and heavens to Betsy if Peter DID fulfill being "satan." Instead he got the indwelling Holy Spirit in the upper room and traditionally DIED upside down on his own cross. So then you only exemplify your own confusion once again.


Not exactly. I am SHOWING proof that good elohim who are NOT God exist and have always existed in the minds of the Jews, the People of the Promise, sir.

5. It is about believers as I showed. This doesn't mean God cannot be unified in himself and it doesn't mean that he cannot be unified with the other two members of the Godhead.
"Two OTHER members of the Godhead," are normally thought of as two other Gods, sir. I realize that trins don't SAY this, indeed they cannot orthodoxically. However, this would be the first dissonance between common sense and reality, as opposed to imagination and unreality, sir.

The fact is, HE is a HE only and "three members of the Godhead" are a THEY sir. You contradict yourself with aplomb and debonair, having no compunction or sense not to do so.


...and of course you and yours have made a whole THEOLOGY based upon a single verse. One which was probably NOT in the original Hebrew Matthean text. One which is mentioned NOT in eighteen times Eusebius mentions the Great Commission.
One which a PLETHORA of scholars, both trin and non-trin have considered added on laters. NO MATTER that no Koine manuscript doesn't have it, the original has been lost forever, except in the Syriac Sinaiticus and Shem Tov Matthew. Why would they have this to say about it?

1) It does not match up to the Lukan Great Commission.
2) It sticks out like a sore thumb among serene thumbs, sir. NOTHING in NT collaborates or supports.
3) It is simply inconceivable JESUS would have considered a Trinity in his day OR mentioned a God of three "names."
4) It is the only TRIN FORMULATION or actually three in verse together scripture at all, unless you consider the Johannine Comma valid.
5) But most of all, it CONTRADICTS the single Jesus only baptisms of Acts 5 times and more than several verses by Paul.

7. One could say the Father and Son were created according to the plan. Physically they were not created because they have always been, always is and always will be completely eternal.
Or one could say the Father is uncreated. I do. You are completely unorthodox if you say the Father is created, and this I say with confidence.
8. Jesus was begotten of the Father before the foundation of the world prophetically and then physically when Christ was born.

You don't even realize the EVOLUTION of Creedal thought, sir. Jesus is considered UNCREATED in evolved rationalism.

The "echad" of the Adonai was NEVER a compound unity.
It is the numerical "one" and stands alone and unique. NO OTHER ONE can be God in context of OT said umpteen times and in Mk 12 by the Christ. You are so Wong you are Wong all the way, Wongmeister.

Once again it goes back to definitions and context to the scriptures to understand being created and begotten. This is why I believer your position is confused.
Being created IS being being a being begotten, sir. Why you think God is YOUR "Father" sir? YOU are uncreated or what?

Prove compound unity and I will lick your pink booties, sir. Pink are your booties and pink is the complexion of your pretty face by the time I'm done wit ye.


I don't need to understand kenosis at all, sir. If God made himself a man, then He is no longer God is He? Sir?
Simple common sense trumps the intellectual scintillations of the titillated every time.

Jesus is divine by virtue of the glory or shekinah or radiance or light of God only. This is the Holy Spirit UNITY of the "compound UNITY" which Jesus did mention when he said both that "I and the Father are one," Jn 10, AND "that they may be one as we are one," Jn 17.

12. The Father, Son and the Holy Spirit were all called God and Lord and Jehovah.

BOOLoney. Prove it.


Jesus ALWAYS referred to his God as "the Father," a REPLACEMENT nomos for "YHWH" now too sacred to say out loud. Sir.
Get your facks straight. Ged God Theology. Ged a life and HAVE God Theology.

NO SCRIPTURE says God is plural in Person, OR that God has more than one God-mind but ESPECIALLY one God-will. Correction.
15. There are new testament jews that will tell you of the trinity.
...and they ABROGATE the Shema and the First Command of the Ten, sir. So what? What GOOD THING can I say aboudem?

Show me where any OTHER ONE is in context of Shema also God. Thank you sir. For your support sir.
17. Actually, there are not three Gods because they are all one in harmony that has never, is not now and can never and will never be broken. That is the impossibility.

FIND "three in poifeck harm to thee" I mean harmony and I will lick your fur-topped BOOTIES sir.

BLAH and bleh and bleh. GOSH you got some kinda tootin' beans in your beany or WHAT sir?
What you should do is explain what your exact position of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit and if they are all divine or not divine and why and why you think your position is logical. Thanks Jerry Kelso
Have I said a single thingybobber ILLOGICAL, sir? Shew me where, oh man.

That means that the explanation is extra-Biblical, not the concept.

There's obviously a total of three something if it's a "Trinity." That doesn't make them three beings.
Quite right. The Holy Spirit was called "Ruach" in the OT and this "breath of God" wasn't conceived of as a BEING per se.
It HARBORS one or more Beings such as Elijah for John the Baptist and Jesus in the Paraclete.

But IT is not a HE of "himself." IT is the Power and Presence of the Living and One True and Only God.

I choose to believe He begat His Son in heaven and then on Earth.
This is because of the "proceeding forth from heaven" verses, and the "I come from the Father/heaven" verses.

All figurative speech connoting the fact that Jesus was the anointed and SENT one from God. He knew this from his own personal relationship TO God and was not literally cavorting in heaven WITH God before the Foundation of the World.

Listen the Holy Spirit IS the spirit of God so essentially He IS God but unlike Jesus He is not His own person but instead He's the Spirit of God reaching out to us.
HE takes on the referent of either/or. This is because God created and SENT the Holy Spirit to us in the name of Jesus.

EITHER God OR Jesus. Two referents harbored in Spirit, and ONE is the Originator. The other one who testifies, "Abba, Father."

OK, but then he is not a person, right? The Spirit is energy, right? And I can believe what I wish? I'm just trying to get clear on your position. Do you have a problem with that?
The Spirit is energy but also personality. Primarily of the Father, but also the Son who CONTINUES to be the Servant of God AND considering God's will El Jefe to his own.

Bool. Constantine was JisG and Arians were probably subordinationist in one sense or several.

Many Christian scholars, however, have their suspicions about Constantine.
For good reason. Being an EMPEROR he had to do things not exactly faithful and he knew it. He EXECUTES his own son and wife after the Council. He would not COMMIT in baptism until he knew he was gonna kick the bucket. And he obviously ADHERED also to sun worship and pagan "prophets" during the Council. Exemplified by his own Oration to the Saints.
