Explaining the Trinity

[Dave L]

Nonsense. No kid reads the story about Christ's baptism and then instantly rambles off about consubstantiality.

Dave, please acknowledge that salvation is not about *man's* ability to pass theology test.

But Jesus = truth and a false concept = a false Christ.

 

[Jane_Doe22]

But Jesus = truth and a false concept = a false Christ.

Again: It is not required for a child of God to be able to correctly rattle off a bunch of academic facts about their Father. Academic knowledge is not what defines a parent-child relationship, and frankly most of the time kids don't remotely academically understand their parents. Rather a parent-child bond is defined by love and embracing each other.

Quit trying to make salvation about MAN's knowledge and acknowledge it's about love and embracing Christ.

Simple truth in scripture shows the trinity. It is the child of God molesters that offer candy in place of it.

I am being completely ignored by somebody who seemingly thinks salvation is earned by a person being able to properly explain consubstantiality...

No, but the saved hear the truth and embrace it whenever they do.

 

[Jane_Doe22]

No, but the saved hear the truth and embrace it whenever they do.

Aka, mans' ability to pass Dave's theology test, because if you don't agree with Dave, you're not saved.

 

[Dave L]

This could be true in some cases.

 

[Helen]

Which does NOT mean they will fully understand it then. Scripture illustrates that over and over again.

Dave, understanding is an *eventual* fruit of the Spirit. It is not prequieste to salvation. Please acknowledge this rather than trying to make salvation about *man's* ability to pass theology test.

You say it well....

 

[Jane_Doe22]

This could be true in some cases.

And hence Dave declares that his opinion is God's.

Just wow.

 

[Dave L]

You say it well....

Only that to reject the truth when heard is to reject Jesus.

Just wow.

If I have the truth and you reject it, it is not different from rejecting Christ who is truth personified.

 

[Jane_Doe22]

If I have the truth and you reject it, it is not different from rejecting Christ who is truth personified.

I'm sorry, but your ego here is immense and downright sinful. Amazingly so actually.

You don't belong in God's throne, rather on the floor groveling like every other sinner.

It's not ego. If you say it's 3:00 o'clock when it's 3:00 o'clock, do you have an ego problem?

 

[Jane_Doe22]

It's not ego. If you say it's 3:00 o'clock when it's 3:00 o'clock, do you have an ego problem?

You are NOT God. Quit trying to pretend you sit on His throne.

You mean grovelling before some god that had physical sex with Mary, created Christ and his brother Satan, and along with it a false gospel that all gain eternal life anyway? And that you'll be god yourself? That false Mormon God?

 

[Dave L]

You are NOT God. Quit trying to pretend you sit on His throne.

If I say historic Christianity is trinitarian, and those they consider sects and cults are not, how is that an ego problem?

Newsflash: nobody here believes that.
If you would like to hear what I *actually* believe, I'd be happy to discuss that on another thread.

 

[Preacher4Truth]

Only that to reject the truth when heard is to reject Jesus.

They just make god and Christ out to whatever they want, then pull a Matthew 7:1 card on you when you expose their error. These days they can just make up Christ and his attributes, and call themselves converted Christians with a false Christ.

Dave: post 92# is you trying to sit in God's throne. You make salvation to be all about man's working to pass a theology test.
