News flash Cofty. The trinity cannot be explained as there is nothing to compare to God. - TTWSYF
Thank you for confirming that the trinity is impossible to explain.
The problem is that xtians keep on pretending that the reason it can't be explained is that the trinity is so profound and mysterious that it can't be comprehended intellectually. That is dishonest. The explanation is much simpler. The trinity is a piece of early-medieval sophistry. It contains clauses that are self-contradictory. It is like positing a four-sided triangle and then hiding behind 'mystery'. No it isn't, it's just bullshit.
Xtians affirmed a commitment to monotheism but in practice they came to a position of worship and adoration of Jesus. The mental gymnastics of the trinity was the solution arrived at following much acrimony.
It is as much of a fudge as the 'overlapping generation'. Perhaps JWs should start describing that as a 'mystery' too.
You keep saying how 'I challenge anyone to do it' Then you boost of how no one can. DUHHH, no kidding, but you wear it like you're a genius. You're not, you're just another bully picking on anyone who doesn't think the way you do.
Accusing somebody of being a bully for respectfully engaging in debate about xtian dogma on a religious discussion forum is pathetic. I am the one discussing facts and reason while you and JWA throw out personal attacks and insults. Hypocrite.
Still didn't answer if the bible says Jesus and/or the Holy Ghost is God. Can't ever acknowledge a mistake can you pal?
I'm not your pal.
The evolution of the divinity of Jesus can be traced through the NT. I can argue powerfully from the bible that Jesus is not god and that he is god. The truth is that the bible does not contain a consistent Christology.
On another note, What's wrong with my analogy of time being in 3 states but always time, always agreeing and never contradicting? Which heresy am I promoting?
It's a horribly convoluted illustration. Time is not a person. It doesn't 'agree' or 'contradict'. It is never in 3 states. Future and past are not objective things they are subjective constructs.
The bible nowhere contains a clear statement of the trinity. Not even once did Jesus state it. That was such an embarrassment to the church they had to invent a verse in 1 John.
Still waiting for a simple description of the trinity. The challenge stands. All your hand-waving notwithstanding.
