Jehovah's Witnesses-Trinity Quandary & Quantum Theory]
I've looked at your website before and have actually thought about this myself. But if people understood their Bibles and all these concepts, the council of Nicaea would be unnecessary and we'd never need to contemplate the idea of Quantum Physics regardless if God is "3 in 1" or "1 in 1."
I like to break down things simply -- like with a little child putting a square-shaped object, in a triangle hole -- it won't fit, because it's not suppose to be there. Simbolically, with pre-school shape boards, we could symbolically think of the different shapes representing different entities in heaven. Maybe the square presents Jesus Christ, the circle Jehovah God, and all the other shapes represent angels with different status like with the Archangel Gabriel. Now, there's only one shape that represents one entity. You can't put the square shape in the circle shape because they are of different rank and when you try to change "the roles" of who's who, it simply won't fit.
Trinitarism comes a long and cheats and starts using philosophy to change all the shapes. And because it's possible for God to do anything, it's possible for all the shapes to change size and width to adjust to this trinity concept.
I like the idea that the JW's say regarding Quantum Physics -- the Bible is not a science text book, it's only interested with human affairs.
Find me a Scripture that relates God to Quantum Physics. I'd be really interested in that! ...But really, can't you see this disproves your argument? Because now you are seeking the answer of science to answer your questions about the Bible! Many times science and religion are at odds with each other. But, although anything with God is possible, God doesn't apply this concept to himself about quantum physics, infact, his angels are his messages. He just sends out his "troops" do accomplish his work. This cancels out the idea of Quantum Physics, right? An "angel of the Lord" appeared to Mary and Joseph, right? Not God sitting on his throne and coming down too.
I guess I have mixed feelings for what you say in the argument...
@Hellrider. Originally, YHWH wasn`t even the first god, or the "creator of everything", and hence, not even creator of the other gods, or himself. Eventually, YHWH would take the place as the "one and only" god, but him having a name, would eventually become an embarassment, because it was a remnant from the time he was only one god among many others.
Are you kidding me! Doesn't sound like you a Christian to me! Who created Adam and Even then? Satan? Michael? I find it incredible that you don't see a dilemma in what he is saying about the Jewish monotheism and Christianities "3 in 1" God. Why would God say to the Jews "God is 1 in 1" and to the Christians "3 in 1" God?
You made the statement in your post about having "JWisms." What's wrong with that?! If they teach a correct statement, there is no need to change my theology just because I originally learnt it from JW's! This is one of the more absurd things from former JW's! Please be sensible about such things, it makes our arguments against their doctrines invalid! I say this statement to everyone on the board!!!
--General statement-- I don't know why it took them 225 or so years at the Council of Nicaea to solve this problem if a trinity. They should have solved this problem long before. And it's even more stupid by the fact that Christianity was hijacked by authoritarian Christianity, where people lost their Christendom freedom and having to adjust to this new view of God. And I can gurantee all of you on this board, once something is instituted, the idea never goes away. It gets carried through all the eras and now up in the 21st century we are still talking about it. This is something that Barnabas Ministries book "Debunking the Myths of Sacred Namers" goes on about when mentions a popular myth of who and when God's name was translated into English. And still, the myth never dies to this day. Like the trinity. People didn't have a problem with what they believed before that day, but this authoritarian Christianity demands us to believe in this concept? What ever happened to Arius and his followers? Aren't we allowed to form ideas like what he did? I mean, 90% of Christianity believe in the trinity. Christian climate doesn't accept our point of view of the nature of God. Having 95% of Bibles translate John 1:1 as "God" instead of "a god" doesn't make it right. It merely expresses common belief of the trinity as I just mentioned!
