Which further supports my rather unremarkable point.

Thanks. I was raised Southern Baptist and taught historical orthodox trinitarianism. There was no room or allowance in that teaching for a deity who may be millions of persons. Whenever I defend the Trinity I still do so from the perspective of that ingrained, rigid, training of my heritage.

Thank you. There are, and I have. Thanks again. I’m formally educated in theology. I have no questions about the Trinity. (Before retiring I taught trinitarianism at the college level - as an adjunct professor of theology at various trinitarian and non-trinitarian colleges.) Thank you. I...

What practical impact does that have on non-trinitarian Christian members of the forum?

The “as” is generally placed in italics in translations which resort to it. Why? It isn’t in the text. It is added by translators. No one reading “God made Moses God to Pharaoh” imagined that Moses was literally God. Moses was God’s agent / representative. He stood in God’s place - not by his...

Yes. Two beings? How many beings is the Trinity? (I was taught the Trinity is one being.)

Moses typology was my answer.

No special insight. The dead are dead, not alive. When Jesus was killed he was dead, not alive. When Jesus was resurrected he was made alive again, no longer dead. I’m sure you’ve heard people say at Easter, “He lives!” It doesn’t have meaning or importance if he was alive when he was dead.

Not when we’re dead.

“There is nothing new under the sun.” (Ecclesiastes 1:9) I’d be willing to bet you knew that.

Purpose questions aside, IF the Trinity is immutable (which is what I was taught) then how could the Trinity be a million persons?

Do you really believe God has no (self-imposed) limitations? What would you say to a trinitarian who believes God is three persons, to the best of our current knowledge, but - since God has no limitations - he could be a million persons? I had a long-running conversation with such a...

Baloney has some nutritional value. I don’t see any value whatsoever of reincarnation in the Bible, nor in the spectrum of Christianity / Christian thought. Do you?

I don’t see any problem with that. A weaker person of your faith might.

Exhorted in the presence of God and of God. Christians being hated and villanized is an old, old story - throughout the world, from the 1st century even to today. Trinitarians moving away from the historic trinitarian view of trinitarianism (I have in mind here the anathema of the Athanasian...

Jesus and the apostles - 1st century. Nicene Creed - 4th century. Neither Jesus nor the apostles were Nicene Creed men; the Trinity is not their God. How do we know the Trinity is not their God? Jesus himself tells us who his God and their God is. Jesus and the apostles are Creed of Judaism...
