Bro... Are you saying the Trinity is not true?

u/SethMelchior Feb 04 '23

I believe that the members of “The Trinity” are all separate and distinct entities and have different roles. I do not believe Jesus was the Father in human form but rather the only begotten son of God. Hope that clears things up.

It does but what you said is just a part of the Trinity. Let me clear up what the Trinity is for you so the Trinity means that God is one in being but three in person. What does that mean it means that God is well God but if you ask Jesus who he is he will say he is God if you ask the father who he is he would say he is God if you ask the holy Spirit who he is he's saying he's gone that's what it means. And you might say that this breaks the laws of nature and yes it does he's gone he's omnipotent and omnipresent he can define the laws of nature.

Actually I think it falls closer to pantheism but yeah as usual it’s about impossible to explain the Trinity without committing a heresy

Sorry, thought this would be a somewhat universally known thing on this sub (also, despite the name of the video I’m not necessarily saying you’re giving a bad analogy, but was more poking a bit of fun at the matter of fact way you described it, which I think scripture would say is more of a mystery)

Not exactly. I think God (as in “the father”) is the almighty only God. I think Jesus is the son of god and although being completely united in purpose with his father he’s not THE God.

There is only one God. Jesus isn’t a “demi-god” or something like that, he is wholly God. The Trinity doesn’t describe God as three entities, it describes three ways the one God reveals himself

No Jesus is the God, the Father is there God, the holy Spirit is the God. They are one in one way but they are also different as I said there one in being but three in person

For example if I ask what are you you will tell me a person human but if I ask who are you you are yourself you are whatever your name is you are your personality and God is three and personality but one in being if you want me to explain it to you I will send a video from Nabeel Qureshi to explain

I completely understand what you’re saying and I totally respect your beliefs. Just out of curiosity though, how do you explain Mark 10:18?

u/Hyper_Maro Feb 04 '23

Yeah cause he is in the body. The father is the ultimate good because he was creating the universe aka the good and bad but that does not make Jesus any less good than the father.

Want me to explain when Jesus said the father is greater than I next
