    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    That doesn't phase me. 2Ti 1:12, For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    Jesus was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; declared to be the Son of God with power in the resurrection (Romans 1:3-4). But clearly, in Luke 1:35, declared to be the Son of God in His conception.

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    You are mistaken, not knowing the scriptures well enough to understand the reality of this matter.

    Jesus the Man was a singular Person.

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    You can tout it as a doctrine all day long but you will never understand it until you see it through the venue that I am presenting to you.

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    Because after the Father descended and became a Man, He ascended once again to exist outside of time. However, the Son was begotten in the incarnation, Luke 1:35.

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    One Spirit and indivisible means something to me in the English language. What does it mean to you?

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    He didn't change but took on an added nature of human flesh.

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    So the Father is the Son is the Holy Ghost.

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    Now, is the Spirit divided into three Persons? or, is each person the fulness of Deity?

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    No because the Father inhabits eternity; and the nature of eternity is that if someone dwells in it, they dwell in it eternally. Therefore in descending to become the Son, the Father wouldn't cease to exist in eternity.

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    That is a nice thing to tout and is technically true. What I am trying to get you to see is the understanding of how it all comes to be. In saying that the eternal Spirit is three distinct Persons with the same spiritual substance, you are saying that each Person in the Trinity is essentially...

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    And He has Him. The Son is a distinct Person from the Father; the experience of the Father is not the same as the experience of the Son.

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    I would say that taking Isaiah 9:6 at face value is a major key in being able to come to an understanding of what the Trinity doctrine truly is.

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    And also, it should be clear from Isaiah 9:6 that the Father became the Son by taking on an added nature of human flesh.

    Why the cross actually saves

    As long as they continue in unbelief, they remain lost.

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    So, in your estimation, how many eternal Spirits are there? Is there one eternal Spirit, divided into three parts? Three eternal Spirits? My Bible tells me that there is only One (Ephesians 4:4). Also, maybe it was the love of the Lord that led Him to create us.

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    It is clear from the holy scriptures that Jesus is Jehovah God (John 8:24, John 8:58, John 8:59, John 10:31-33, Exodus 3:14). He at the very least laid claim to Deity, and told the scribes and Pharisees (and by extension you and me) that if they did not believe in it, they would die in their sins.

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    I think you are missing the fact that there is one God. I would suggest attempting to think of God as one for a period of time as you read the holy scriptures. When you come across scriptures that seem to think of Him as plural, try to think about how He is also one. Otherwise you are in...
