How did the Trinity doctrine develop in the early church?

[HealthyShape]

Yeah, ISMS I dont study them, I did a search on a list and that list came with this breif explanation of each one and there were a handful of the strangest ones. I forget which ones now, but that was one of them that stuck with me, I just forgot the name, which sounds like a long word spoken while eating pudding or something. Which I don't take seriously (no matter who would impose such a thing) Alot of them just seemed to be pulled out of their rearends. I wouldn't validate those, I would blow them off (but thats just me).

Anthropomorphism is from Greek. It is composed of:
Anthropos - a man, a human
Morphé - a way, a form

It just means ascribing human properties to something that is not human - it can mean to God, but also to for example animals ("oh, the dog opened his mouth, it means he is smiling!")

I understand what is said,taught,about Trinity.

It does not seem so.

And it's wrong. God tells us this.
God is One.
paraphrasing) God is the only one and besides him,not beside him,there is no Savior.
I.E God is Savior. Not separate and distinct from Savior Jesus.
Scriptures tell us,God is a Spirit. Another passage says, God is Holy. Holy Spirit.

The shield is manufactured to support what is not in scripture.

Yes, God is one. If you understood Trinity (and the Shield), you would see that it also says God is one.

Does this fit?

Exodus 15:3 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.

As Jesus said:

Matthew 28:19
19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name (SINGULAR) of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

Yes, I would say so.

That's maybe because you're locked into the ideology.
God isn't a distinct person. God is another name for Holy Spirit.

I know what it says.

ISMS?

ISMS, those are categories men lump you into with the description of what is false about what is in your head or something.

Someone called me an Arianism (or something) once because of a scripture verse

Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified,
both Lord and Christ.

I recall that it started with an A, but I forget what that one is about, but I got the Nicene creed thrown at me, even though I only quoted that verse. I shared this on here before, I think with Healthyshape. So you never know what will land you into an ISM as a heretic, sometimes God's own words will make it happen too.

 

[HealthyShape]

It is because I read how you describe it and you do not understand it, IMO.

God isn't a distinct person. God is another name for Holy Spirit.

And you did it again. Trinity does not say that God is a distinct person. Check the Shield of Trinity again.

I know what it says.

Nope.

 

[Muna]

I think I found a couple of those weird ISMS

Catabaptism is a belief in the wrongness of infant baptism
Stercoranism belief that the consecrated Eucharist is digested and evacuated

(I wonder which church that one will get you kicked out of)?

 

[Jack]

Trinity does not say that God is a distinct person. Check the Shield of Trinity again.

From the CYB Statement of Faith: "We believe that God is the Creator, Sustainer, and Ruler of the universe. We attest that God has eternally existed in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God. (Genesis 1:1, 26-27, Genesis 3:22, Deuteronomy 6:4, Psalm 90:2, John 1:1, John 10:30, Romans 3:30, II Corinthians 13:14, I Peter 1:2)"

Nope.

At this point it appears you don't understand Trinity. Or,the shield.
The Bible never speaks about one triune God consisting of three co-equal Gods of Father, Son and Holy Spirit

You should check the shield.

Can I say that God manufactured the product, while the user manual is free will... the quality guarantee is Jesus Christ, the after-sales service is the Final Judgment, and the product recall is the Lake of Fire with brimstone.

Yet the product still cannot figure out whether the manufacturer is one or three.

The Surprising Origins of the Trinity Doctrine

Few understand how the Trinity doctrine came to be accepted - several centuries after the Bible was completed! Yet its roots go back much farther in history.

Guess you missed this:

This is a statement agreement. You cannot only know the word "God" and nothing else—this is like an unfair mandatory clause, where none of the elements can be missing.

Is the Father God? Of course. Then so are the Son and Holy Spirit. They are ONE! I just quoted it.

They are Unity as one family.
But son after the father....A son comes into being after his father—how do you describe the father and the son existing simultaneously? Please explain this to me, unless you want to say it’s all fate, and both you and your son already existed at the moment of the Big Bang.

Don't know any Scripture? I gave plenty. Want more?

I know the Shield and the basics of Trinity. Trinity is not about three co-equal Gods.

Stop talking nonsense. You have been corrected multiple times and you still continue with the nonsense like if you could not read or something.
