    The Holy Spirit only in the church!

    The Holy Spirit is connected with being Roman Catholic, not with being trinitarian.

    Religious Liberty!

    Some messianic Jews are trinitarian - to no avail, without the Holy Spirit, in your thinking - and some messianic Jews are unitarian.

    The Holy Spirit only in the church!

    “The Athanasian Creed … is found in many Protestant confessions …” Explaining the "Blessed Trinity": Why the Athanasian Creed Matters - SOLA Network Yet, you suggest @theefaith, the Holy Spirit is not at work in Protestant trinitarian denominations; has not been given to them. It seems that...

    The Holy Spirit only in the church!

    Then you don’t believe Protestant trinitarians - heretics - who say they became trinitarian because they were convicted by the Holy Spirit. How do you account for them becoming / being trinitarian? Do you believe they aren’t trinitarian? Is it possible to be trinitarian without the Holy...

    The Holy Spirit only in the church!

    What have the Protestants said? The assertion you made in the OP implies that the Holy Spirit doesn’t work in Protestants, nor in others. Has the Catholic Church said that? I presume you’ve heard Protestants say that they are trinitarians because the Holy Spirit convicted them.

    Data On The Trinity

    “Holy. Holy. Holy.” (Isaiah 6:3) Behold, the Trinity? No. Behold, “repetition for emphasis.” - John Calvin

    Data On The Trinity

    That was a poor assumption on my part. Let’s set that aside for the time being then. Were you ever a trinitarian? Are you presently a member of a non-trinitarian church? I was raised trinitarian (Southern Baptist), left trinitarianism and then came very close to going back into it. I attended...

    Data On The Trinity

    That, in my opinion, is why it took several centuries for the Church to work out the doctrine of the Trinity. The doctrine of the Trinity isn’t a biblical revelation, nor is it a post-biblical revelation; it’s the product of well-intentioned but misguided post-biblical Gentile theologians...

    Bible Study - Matthew 9:1-8

    The people praised God, not the man who was given the authority. Did they do well?

    Who is the eleventh?

    Looking again at the timing, you’re right. The eleven would have included Matthias, and Peter would have completed the restored group of twelve.

    Data On The Trinity

    “Moses the trinitarian” - the assertion used to make me cringe, even back in the day when I was a trinitarian, and did so up until December of 2020. Since then, I’ve come to find it somewhat humorous, thanks to a trinitarian friend of mine (@DancesWithGnostics) who used to post on these forums...

    Data On The Trinity

    There’s only one Yahweh, but there’s no shortage of trinitarians who deny that. They frequently say there are two Yahwehs and, when asked, will say that there are three Yahwehs. I find their assertions (which I disagree with) nevertheless helpful in distinguishing the deity they believe in from...

    Data On The Trinity

    I met Charles Hunting on many occasions; I co-pastored a Church with Anthony Buzzard until I retired in 2016 and moved back to my home state. I’ve known Anthony since 1997 and have travelled extensively (in the US and Africa) with him. Anthony is fluent in several languages - including Hebrew...

    What is the ark of salvation?

    The church is his body. He is the head of the body. Our salvation is in him. In him, souls are saved. Outside him, souls are destroyed.

    Data On The Trinity

    Elohim plural in form, plural in meaning is gods. Elohim plural in form, singular in meaning is God or god. The Messiah’s elohim is plural in form, singular in meaning. There is no plurality in the Messiah’s God.
