General Questioning the Trinity

[benadam1974]

In what other profession can you get away with saying God is "3 Who’s in 1 What"?

Or that phrases like "I am the LORD" (Ex 20.2) means multiple LORDs?

Or "by Myself" (Isaiah 44:24) can mean multiple Selves?

Or that Jesus’ confession of the Father as “the only true God” in John 17.3 does not mean Jesus is not the only true God?

To add to the confusion, ascribe tens of thousands of singular personal pronouns (He, Him, etc.) to a multi-personal "Being" or "Substance" God.

In no other profession, of course, other than in Trinity World!

In fact, you will instead find yourself awarded with doctorates and sometimes high paying, lifetime job positions!

Some trinis even teach Jesus is YHWH and the Father is YHWH and the Spirit is YHWH. But when asked how many Yahwehs exactly they're proposing, they revert to the contradictory, oxymoronic answer: 1 Yahweh, of course!

The noted Trini "intellectual" scholar Dr. Carl Henry, in his book “God Who Stand and Stays” wrote that such "representations of the Trinity" would result in "a mathematical monstrosity." It is "as fallacious in its claim for the three-in-one God as is the formula 3x = 1x."

Dr. Henry explained that trini "Christian theology affirms neither that three gods are one God nor that three isolated persons are one God. Rather, it affirms three eternal personal distinctions in the one God, in short, 3x in 1y."

Ultimately, Trinis invariably agree that no one can ever understand this so-called “teaching” anyway!
This is highlighted by the ancient dictum:

“Try to Understand It and You’ll Lose Your Mind.
Try to Deny It and You’ll LOSE YOUR SOUL!”

Benadam, I want you to know that I do read all your posts. You write about a variety of topics that are important. I too have written many posts about many subjects. When I write I only desire to share information that I have learned in over forty years of involvement in biblical study. I agree with you that the trinity is a lie, a big one. I view it as idolatry. That may seem harsh but sometimes the truth can be. We agree that judgment is required to determine good from evil and right from wrong in doctrine but we cannot condemn. I believe the Holy Spirit is the Elijah to come who restores the things that have been lost over the centuries. The Holy Spirit is God the Father, His power, the power of the Highest. I look at what is called Christianity in the world and what I see is not Christianity at all. Virtually all their doctrines are wrong. This is not just a few of them but all of them. They have all to varying degrees accepted the doctrine of the Catholic church and this bad tree cannot produce good fruit. We know that God will not compromise on His truth because no lie is of the truth. If there were only ten truths and I have nine correct but one wrong God will consider them all a lie. A lie is like leaven because in order for me to justify the one incorrect with the other nine correct I would have to do some bending and twisting of the nine to make the one fit. Like leaven the lie will in time spread to the nine to accommodate the one. To accommodate the trinity look how many other truths are violated as an example. This is true of all the false doctrines in all the churches. The truth can only come by the Holy Spirit, the only teacher. We have no need that any man should teach us especially in these perilous times we live in. God determines who will be in the church not preachers as the Lord adds to the church such as should be saved. No one can even come to Christ unless the Father draws them. This is done this way because God is not willing that any should perish but that all come to repentance. God is aware of those who would not repent if taught the truth by His Spirit and He will not call them now but later, perhaps in the millennium or second resurrection. Those with Gods Spirit who refuse to repent will perish in the lake of fire. Non Christians cannot repent because they are not in Christ. The saints are taught of God by divine revelation just as the prophets, Jesus and the Apostles were. Peter could not even say that Jesus was the Christ, the son of the living God, unless the Spirit of God revealed it to him. Everything that I have learned has come to me by the Holy Spirit, not by any man. All Christians are taught this way but those who are new to the faith may have yet to discover this. Moses said that he wished to God that all His people were prophets, well today they are. The church is scattered to the four winds and extremely few in number, lacking the ability to do any type of work in the world, this is Gods will for them. Matthew 24:14 the gospel is to be preached in all the world to all nations and THEN THE END WILL COME. If it has been preached all along then how could it be a sign of the end of this age? The gospel has truly been hidden from the eyes of the world by Satan who has blinded the eyes of the people but God elects certain people to be His saints and adds to the church just as He has done from the beginning. So benadam continue to write as I will about the truth and if it is Gods will people will hear if not they will not hear. All of the work is done by Gods Spirit, not you, me or anyone else. Zechariah 4:6
