Jesus says I am the great I Am. He says he is the Lord of the Sabbath. It is why the Jews wanted him stoned. To them, it was blasphemy.
I am not one to get into lengthy debates. I do not doubt that you believe what you believe. In my 'theology according to me' thinking ;) I believe the Lord knows your heart. He knows what dwells there. He knows if I seek truth. He knows if you seek truth. Does it make you a better person, a more Christ-like person to deny the Trinity? If you feel it does, than you are seeking what you think is truth. But ultimately if we go to bed at night with anger in our hearts because there are people out there that do not agree with a certain interpretation of Scripture, then we might reexamine if we are seeking truth. Is this an academic search or a spiritual one? Ultimately anything that causes hate, anything that causes us to pass judgement, leads us farther from truth.
Love one another.
The doctrine of the trinity is a modern version of baal worship which was the antithesis to worship of the true God.
Read the other comments on the thread.
If Jesus is God, how can be between mediator between man and God?
God is spirit and invisible. Jesus is God's representation but not God.
God is not a man that he should lie nor the son of man tha he should repent.
God cannot be tempted. Jesus was tempted in all ways.
There is one God; God is one. The Trininty is three.
Yeah, I know what I believe and can articulate it as do some others on this thread.
Why is it that the NT Jews/scribes/Pharisees/assorted experts in the law are considered by Christianity (Jesus himself had choice words for them) to be blind guides, essentially clueless and unbelieving. Yet, their "understanding" is used by the Church as one of the foundational evidences of the trinity doctrine. Talk about contorted. They did NOT understand Jesus' words... so no wonder they were picking up stones. At least they were reacting out of their zeal for monotheism; how much less deserving of mercy are those who - despite voluminous warnings to the contrary - choose to embrace the doctrine of baalim whole hog.
That must be where the OSAS doctrine comes in to cover for them.
