imagine how different history would be if the Church didn't settle on this malarkey as doctrine simply because it was the Christian sect most popular in the Rome area in the 4th century (not even kidding, that's why they went with it). imagine all the bad relations and bitterness with Jews and Muslims over the centuries that could have been avoided. imagine theologians not having to resort to spaghetti logic to explain how God is three people and one person at the same time. imagine...
>imagine theologians not having to resort to spaghetti logic to explain how God is three people and one person at the same timeThey don't claim God is one person, they claim God is one being. Which is impossible too.
>>16888345Cont. I mean, impossible IF God is three persons
>>16888337The trinity is the truth but you can be forgiven for not understanding it since to teach it correctly undermines the people who have hijacked the churches to destroy God's people and so you probably don't know God and never will see God knowingly.
>>16888337Anon, you're missing the pointThe term "diocese" comes directly from the Roman Civil diocese, which was an administrative subdivision of a Province.The Nicene Creed was an attempt at creating a successor state to the failing Roman Empire by transitioning seats of power to the Church leadership
what OP means is back in those days there were dozens of Christian sects with all different ideas of what Jesus's exact nature was. some believed he was a lesser being than God, some that God was an evil being Jesus came to overthrow, some believed Jesus in fact had no physical body and was a spirit, etc. Trinitarianism just happened to be popular in Rome so they went with that.
>>16888359My point is that the reason Trinitarianism was even popular was because only the Catholic Church even bothered establishing an administrative hirearchy that appealed to the Romans.
ok
bump
>>16888349>The trinity is the truthThen why do literally all attempts to explain it ever fall into heresy?
>>16889606>JW and Mormons are not 100% heretics and clearly led by false prophets.
>>16888337>and bitterness with Jews and Muslims over the centuries that could have been avoidedThis was always a huge sticking point. Jews and Muslims have always believed Christians are polytheists and the Trinity is incomprehensible nonsense, which in fact it is. Perhaps if Arianism or something else had become doctrine instead...
