Okay. Thanks. You too.

1 self? 3 selfs? You don’t know how many selfs? You know how many selfs but for some reason prefer not to say? Here’s how I would answer the question if you had asked me: One God. One self. Some trinitarians answer the question as I do, some trinitarians don’t. I didn’t mention it, because it...

I self? 3 selfs? You don’t know how many selfs? You know how many selfs but for some reason would rather not say?

Yes, but that doesn’t inform me about how many selfs you believe the Trinity is. Some trinitarians believe the Trinity is 1 self, while other trinitarians believe the Trinity is 3 selfs. I don’t know what you believe but would like to. That’s why I asked.

That’s an easy answer offered by a trinitarian. Jesus himself isn’t a trinitarian. His God is only one person, not three persons. Jesus himself is a non-trinitarian. Your easy answer may be correct in some cases but it’s not correct in all cases.

How many selfs do you believe the Trinity is?

Your assertion that “trinity and divinity of Christ are Christian doctrines” is consistent with the teaching of the RCC. The Athanasian Creed, which you’ve directed my attention to on several occasions, is unequivocal on the matter. “Believe it or perish,” as many Catholics have informed me over...

”It is a simple and undeniable historical fact that several major doctrines that now seem central to the Christian faith - such as the doctrine of the Trinity and the doctrine of the deity of Christ - were not present in a full and well-defined, generally accepted form until the fourth or fifth...

No one in the New Testament church was trinitarian. The doctrine of the Trinity was developed in post-biblical times.

So who is God (doesn’t sound like God is the Trinity) and, if Jesus is a separate entity, who and what is Jesus? Sideshow. Who or what is the Holy Spirit Stephen was full of? God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

Thanks. I find myself in agreement with you on this question. Jesus leads us only to his God and not to any other. Implications for those whose God isn’t the Father alone.

When I listen to music, I hear theology. Once I get my mind past the Hippie movement, I hear echoes of Jesus and the prophets in this one.

Dr. Brown again. This time with what he calls “the important question” @theefaith. “The adoption of the Nicene Creed in 325 and the Chalcedonian Creed in 451 stabilized the doctrine of the Trinity and Christ for over one thousand years. They made use of Hellenistic categories and thinking to do...

”Many of the sacred writers spoke of a Messiah who was to be Yahweh’s agent in establishing the kingdom of Yahweh in the messianic age. However, they regarded the Messiah not as a divine person but as a creature, a charismatic leader, a Davidic king. Thus the Old Testament writings about God...

I think it’s better to say the trinitarian presentation is a clear demonstration of how they read the Bible. If we don’t agree with how they read the Bible then it’s fine to say so. We may rest assured that trinitarians don’t agree with how non-trinitarians read the Bible, and it’s fine for them...

I’ll rephrase it. If I build my life on the Lord Jesus Christ, if I follow him, will he lead me to his God or to another God? I’ve read the Bible. You’ve read the Bible. What I would like to know is what you think.

Isn’t following the Lord Jesus Christ building one’s life on him?

Thank you for presenting the binitarian perspective. Your voice is typically drowned out on Internet forums dominated by trinitarians and unitarians. It needs to be heard. The Church began as a sect of Judaism. Church history documents a gradual shift away from the Jewish unitary monotheism of...

“Behold, I send you out as sheep among wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you. Yes, and you will be brought before governor’s and kings for my sake, for a testimony to...

“Even among adherents of the Nicene orthodoxy an uncertainty still for a time prevailed respecting the doctrine of the third person of the Holy Trinity. Some held the Spirit to be an impersonal power or attribute of God; others, at farthest, would not go beyond the expressions of the Scriptures...
