How did the Trinity doctrine develop in the early church?

[MonoBiblical]

Nothing logical about it when you fail to consider this:

Ge 1:26 And God said, Let US make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness:

Consider this.

The problem with this topic is that if Christ was ‘being perfected,’ then what exactly was imperfect in him? How can God learn obedience through suffering in order to be improved or made righteous?

The answer is He cannot!

ANSWER = Philippians 2:5-11

Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Who formed the Lords mind?

@David in NJ It also says of the LXX, that it words "God in the beginning". This is what the earlier text is about.

Have you obeyed God?

I'm improving. I do say it is important for me to trust his commands and suggestions.

Even the Name of God is Plural in this passage, thus proving that "our image" (which is also plural)is in reference to that:

It isn't pluralized in the LXX ever. Elohim is not the main name of God either.

The earth was already in existence, being created by God = unbeknown to us as it is HIS Prerogative to WITHHOLD from us Eternity Past

We are GIVEN the "Beginning" of 'when' Elohim BEGAN His PLAN to create a Biological World for a Biological Mankind

The beginning is in God, not God in the beginning.

 

[Grailhunter]

The Word that was Elohim that became flesh = Yeshua

YHWH came down from Above = Yeshua

Again two camps of thought.

 

[David in NJ]

The beginning is in God, not God in the beginning.

The beginning is pertaining to us and this earth upon which we stand.

It does NOT pertain to ELOHIM

 

[MonoBiblical]

@David in NJ Now if the preposition in English was at. At the beggining God created versus God created at the beginning. The second first implies the beginning pre-existed god.

 

[David in NJ]

Again two camps of thought.

Sure thing = just as it was when JESUS walked this earth

Get in the Camp where the HOLY SPIRIT is the Director/ Camp Counselor/ and Activity Director

[TazzJazz]

Thanks.
How is that significant?
Is it not speaking about a specific beginning? (THE creation)

Just a comment to stress that, sometimes, translating a text from one language to another requires adjustments; word-for-word may not fit.

But this is not how we "rightly divide the word of truth"

We do not play charades with scripture = although we can TEST all things by Scripture

For no such prophecy was ever brought forth by the will of man,
but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

Satan and the angels were created before us as was the "earth and waters that were VOID"

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep.
And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
