Nah, they just write it off as one of the *mysteries of the faith* like they do with any blatant contradiction they espouse.

Like the apparent contradiction of The Blessed Trinity. I am so glad the Protestant contingent has come to full and complete understanding of this Mystery of the Faith.

It must be nice to be able to reduce one's faith to a2 + b2 = c2. Remind me again why Protestants are not post-modern secularists.

Mystery?

1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

What mystery?

*apparent contradiction* ≠ *blatant contradiction*

Besides, the Trinity is not a contradiction not a mystery. It is clearly spelled out in Scripture, which is why born again believers adhere to it.

Micah 6:8
He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.


John 6:28-29
Then they asked him, "What must we do to do the works God requires?
 Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent."


1 John 3:21-23
Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him.
And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us.


James 1:27
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

And what does the church based in Rome require of you?

Like the apparent contradiction of the virgin Mary remaining a physical virgin after giving birth to a human Jesus? Would you like to point to any post here, or anywhere, where a "Protestant" claims a complete understanding of the Trinity? There IS acceptance of infinite things our finite minds are incapable of grasping - it's called faith. For someone who claims to only be here to protect all the gentle, innocent FRoman Catholics from the unspeakable abuse we heap on them, you are doing quite a bit of abuse heaping yourself.

We’ve said over and over - “Jesus alone is entirely necessary and sufficient for Salvation and entry into Heaven.”

How is that “post-modern secularist” philosophy?
