Okay I'm really confused.
I consider myself Christian.
I believe in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
But I don't believe in a "Godhead"
I believe God is only the Father.
I believe Jesus is only the Son.
And the Holy Spirit is hard to describe, but mostly like the will of God working through you and others.

I've read the Bible and been baptized (believers baptism as an adult).

It makes no sense for Jesus to pray to his Father in Heaven if they are the same person. Insert (Are you there God, its me, you) meme.
I don't see why people not only believe God is three people, all at the same time, with one of them praying to him, calling him Father, and seated at the right hand of him. Not only that it seems that ALL three branches believe this.
And the ones that don't believe this (the Unitarians) apparently believe is Soul Sleep only. And even worse, a large chunk of Unitarians have "Universalist" churches where they allow and believe Jews, Muslims, Atheists, Agnostics, Buddists and more filthy fucking pagans and non-believers are welcomed and equally true paths to God and eternal life.

Am I taking crazy pills.
Yes, at certain parts of the new testament like John, Jesus says "The father and I are one". But these "Godhead" passages are rare and barely focused on. How did this illogical believe become the main belief of the all three branches and the idea that God is only God in Heaven become Heretical.

Am I wrong? Can someone please explain to me why I'm wrong without relying on "Muh nicean counsel", muh pope declared this.

They're not the same person.

Yeah it's almost like the bible is a piece of fiction that doesn't make sense when you spend more than 10 seconds thinking about the things you just read in it.
>>
God is nothing. So you need Jesus to look at and talk to while praying. It's just that simple

The holy Ghost is the real manifestation of God. Anomalies that exist irl

Jesus has two natures within his person: divine nature and human nature. Praying properly as a human to God probably comes from him being human too, as it is part of the human nature to have a relation to God aka be religious, and is also done in order to set an example to follow for the rest of us.
>>
>>523968991
consider that jesus is the only aspect of god that we have interacted with

meaning, jesus is the god of the old testament

john 1:18
>No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

there is a father in heaven, but we have only ever dealt with the son and the spirit
>>
>>523969110
I just don't get it. I believe God the Father is and always had been.
I believe Jesus is divine. But I don't believe he is literally God in the flesh. Why would Jesus pray to God if they were the same person?
And most importantly I just don't recall were Jesus, HIMSELF, says I am God, I am God in the Flesh. I am the guy who created Heaven, Earth, Hell, Angels, Man. I told Moses this, I told Ezekial that. I'm inside a mortal body until I die.

It just doesn't make sense, and the Bible just really doesn't seem to harp on it. I'm not saying the Bible is fake. The wonderful part of the New Testament is its VERY grounded and humble and logical. I just don't see how around 325 because of a bunch of Romans that everyone came to the conclusion that God is some "essance" like water that takes 3 forms, 3 forms that have always been and will always be.

I can get behind the idea of Jesus being the word made flesh, and as the mouth piece of God for 30-40 years, living with man, truly understanding man's plight by living among them in as a mortal. But just Jesus never seemed to pray to himself or refer to God as himself, other than in John with "I and the Father are one" which seems far more likely as "I and the Father agree with each other, we work in tandem, what I say is the Will of God"

>>523969311
That makes no fucking sense.
>>
>>523969311
So how is that not three gods? If there's a god in heaven that hasn't been interacted with and two gods that have been, there's something true about certain gods which isn't true about one of them.
>>
>>523969505
It's designed to bridge three things, 2 of which don't make sense, and link them together. So only Jesus makes sense.

And yes, reality Doesn't Make Sense. The holy Spirit is raw chaotic reality
>>
>>523969505
>>523968991
if you are monotheistic, "there is only one true God", then what do you mean exactly by believing that "Jesus is divine" and him being the Logos made flesh? Either he is divine or he is creature, it can't be both.

>>523969666
it would be that the father is too grand for us to even contemplate, the absolute sovereign of creation that sits at the highest peak of his creation, the most high

but jesus and the holy spirit would be his way of interacting with us without leaving his highest seat

it would be like the king dressing up as a poor man so he could walk around the city but in an 11 dimensional world where he is still sitting on his throne
>>
>>523969827
So it was father that died on cross?
>>
>>523969730
but in the case of Jesus what do you believe exactly? That he is the angel Michael incarnated, like Jehowa Witnesses do?
This is the part when unitarianism loses appeal to me. Because it is clear that Jesus is not a mere prophet, but they don't disclose exactly what makes him special among other creatures if He isn't God.
>>
>>523969713
>there is no god, jesus never existed and when you die it will be nothingness for eternity!
Wrong. God is real, Jesus existed and He still does exist, as He is in the Kingdom of Heaven with God the Father. Jesus loves you, and He died for you.
>>
>>523969882
No, it was the Son: the Second Person of the Trinity, who was incarnated as a man.
>>
>>523969933
So a god died on the cross and two that didn't. How is that not 3 gods?
>>
>>523969666
If you must know, Satan, it is the person's in one the way the Sun rises and it is a heavenly body, but it would burn you to nothing if you stayed too close... But the sun that is too powerful for a sinner to bear cats down it's light upon us, brighter than any other light we could contrive, and furthermore, its warmth that brings life to everything it touches. There: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is the Way to the Father. Nobody gets to the Father but through Him. God so loved the world that He condescended to take on flesh, to demonstrate in terms that humanity could fathom just what Holiness truly is. He took on death in order to experience every single aspect of humanity - from beginning to end. Everywhere he went, in life, and even in death on the 2nd day of His crucifixion, he brought His Gospel, His Good News, that death is overcome, and humanity can ascend to heaven, as adoptive sons, and inherit the Kingdom of God. This is the truth, and I say this with all love and respect. Without a human face, God would be so far beyond us there is no way we could know Him. The words of a prophet are a drop in the ocean of divinity, but the Son of The Humble God who loves His creation is a different order of magnitude.
>>
>>523969505
>why would he pray to God if they were the same person
Theyre. Not. The. Same. Person.
you're a mormon, thus not a christian.
until you get that out of your head that they're the same person, you're not going to "get it".
>>
>>523968991
> But I don't believe in a "Godhead"
You’re making the classic mistake of arguing semantics over ways to describe things that aren’t explicitly stated in the Bible. Jesus and the Father are fully God but they are seperate persons.
>>
>>523968991

Ok anon I'll give you a simple analogy

Funny enough Star Trek also did a good job with helping people understand the idea of being separate but not with the changelings.

>>523969882
god died on the cross, yes, but it was the son not the father

>>523969311

>>523969948
God conquered death on the cross. He died in all senses relative to a human being, but He didn’t die in the way we would die into a hopeless situation. He immediately transcended death and made it obsolete.

>king dressing up as a poor man so he could walk around the city
See I understand and get that. And to a very great extent I belive that is/was the purpose of Christ's first visit. BUT why is the idea of Jesus as a Demi-God, which by definition he should be, and not God who I believe is only the Father, the creator, the watcher, the begettor need to be Jesus.
You have to remember that Jesus multiple times said that his miracles are not from his own power. That these miracles only happen by his faith in God (the father), by the will (the holy spirit) of God (the father) working through Jesus (the Son), and by the faith the people have that Jesus is the Messiah, that Jesus is divine, that God will fulfill this miracle.

Why is the Idea of God is only the Father, Jesus is only his son (a demi-god who carries out the will of his father) and that the Holy Spirit (which seems to be sort of the will of God) bad yet completely logical which at one point was called Arianism, bad and declared heretical and the Church and thereby all non-weirdo "Christian" faiths must believe in this illogical 3 entity being that has no real form but is only and "Essence" that takes three forms?

The One God and the only God aka Allah according to us is father. Not the trinity. But the question is how is the trinity one God but not 3

>>523970048
God has a multiplicity of names and natures. The ones you are most familiar with are Love and Mercy, but He’s fully capable of any characteristics in any form. The emphasis of certain characteristics upon a person of the “trinity” is largely confirmation bias. If you study the entire scripture, God is very consistent throughout His interactions of which there are hundreds if not thousands of interactions. Generally what you can take from God’s nature is that He’s quiet. Until you understand that God speaks through silence you will stumble yourself. He can be like a quiet mist or a rushing waterfall.
>>
>>523970048
You got 666 in your get and I was being facetious. Calm down. One God who does as He pleases, whatever He wills. He willed to come down from heaven as part of His great plan. He even willed for your skepticism. Who can say how great is God? He does as He pleases. Whether you agree or not, His will be done. If you refuse to understand how the man who is your father, himself is also a son, and also a husband - 3 persons in 1.

You are trying to approach religion rationally.
Unless you want to drift into Atheism, I'd stop that.
Religion is mystical in nature.
It's more about what you feel and know in your heart, than what you think and know in your head.

A true statement does not have to be literally true, if it has a deeper meaning that points to a more profound metaphorical truth.

Religion doesn't make literal sense.
Because it was not designed to make literal sense.

You have encountered a challenge.
A Koan of sorts.
A piece of indigestible mysticism.

Study it.
What does it REALLY mean, if it cannot be literally true in a physical sense?

If not, just be a deist.
Nothing wrong with being a deist; your founding fathers were all deists.

Me?
I worship the elements and my own ancestors, because I am a rock-fucking savage living on his own native soil.

My ancestors just happen to have been Christian for the last thousand years, which necessitates an understanding and appreciation for Christian intellectual traditions.

I have no idea what that has to do with what I asked. The question is just simply that if there are 3 entities or persons or however you want to label them, all of them are distinct, some things are true about certain ones but not about others, then how is that one God but not 3? Since each of them is a god, you would count 3 gods.

>>523970212
>If you refuse to understand how the man who is your father, himself is also a son, and also a husband - 3 persons in 1.
In your example that's still just one person in 3 different roles. So did the father take on flesh and die on a cross?
>>
>>523969911
No no no.
I believe that Mary through immaculate conception gave birth to a literal and the world's only Demi-God, Jesus Christ. I literally believe that if Jesus took a paternity test, and that if God has DNA or whatever, it would say that Mary is Jesus' biological mother and God is Jesus' biological son.
I believe that as a demi-God, as part of the literal living God (The Father) Jesus has the utmost divinity a human ever had. And because of his transubstantiation, and because he carries out the will of God, and because he speaks with God, he is divine.
>>
>>523970174
a demi-god is a greek invention that says the person is 'part' god and 'part' man

the christian idea of jesus as god is that he is 100% god and 100% man, he is not half man and half god

its a completly different concept from demi-god

and it is a paradox, meaning its not logical as someone cant be fully one thing and fully another

its why the idea of jesus blew the greek philosophers minds when paul preached it to them

colossians 2:8-9
>Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

>For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

>>523970388
a demigod begotten implies the god having enough of a physical body in order to literally reproduce, like Zeus and others, which spins away from monotheism.

>>523969973
I'm not a fucking mormon. I was raised Protestant. I consider myself fiercely Protestant and very anti-catholic. Its just this one part, that seems so illogical yet is accepted and declared a main belief in contrast to a more logical and in my opinion backed Biblically belief that God is the Father, who begat a Divine, Holy and Righteous Son who is a demi-God (Half God, the same way I am Half my Mom and Half my Dad) who worked and spoke in tandem with his Heavenly Father.
>>
>>523970534
3 points are parts of the one triangle, not the triangle itself. Are Jesus, father and spirit parts of god?
>>
>>523970174
>You have to remember that Jesus multiple times said that his miracles are not from his own power
He never said that
>That these miracles only happen by his faith in God (the father),
No, they happen via faith in God (The Father, The Son, The Holy Spirit)

>>523970563
Well,then who cares about the three points. Care about the triangle
>>
>>523970563
is the holy spirit, the one who impregnated Mary in the quran, one with your allah, or a separate creator?
the spirit is either one with allah, or, you have 2 different creators.
see the problem you're running into whilst saying the trinity doesn't make sense?
>>
>>523970598
That's your example but it doesn't make sense. Because the points aren't individually fully triangle but the persons are individually fully god.
>>
>>523968991
You’re confused because you’re operating from within the exoteric framework of the religion while trying to make sense out of the esoteric one.

There’s a trinity in every model of mysticism around the world, the most neutral way you can describe it is with -1 , 0 , +1. They form a triangle with 0 at the top, the 0 represents “God”, a singularity that’s nothing and contains everything in its potential form. When split into two you have something and the lack of something (+1, -1). This separation is needed because we only perceive things through contrast.

If you apply the most fundamental axiom of hermeticism to the triangle formed by the trinity, you get a second, inverted triangle, you end up with an hourglass figure with a 0 at its center. If you twist this shape due to the opposing forces on each angle it’ll form a toroidal field, the “shape of creation”
>>
>>523970548
why are you so hung up on Jesus being half man half God like some Greek pagan story?

He is an aspect of God and part of his infinite plan as the Elect One. Was born of the virgin Mary and became man (was physically on earth as a real person)
>>
>>523969995
It makes no sense. If you wanna say fully divine, thats fine. But when people say Fully God, then you're making God an intangible essence that takes form. You're making God a formless being who takes shapes who is lacking in true personhood.
I believe that God is ONLY the Father. That the God of Abraham, the God of Adam, the creator of existence and Earth was the Father. That before everything there was ONLY the Father. That God is a person. That he has a form and shaped man out of dirt shaped into a form that resembled himself.
And that when people just get that feeling and do God's will without LITERALLY talking to him and hearing his voice, thats the Holy Spirit.
And that until 0AD Jesus did not exist. BUT because every word out of his mouth is the Will of God and his knowledge comes from God, that Jesus is essentially the Word made flesh.
>>
>>523970647
Of course it doesn't make sense
>>
>>523970066
I get that. And I hate that. That make God and essence and removes his personhood.
>>
>>523970400
>and it is a paradox, meaning its not logical as someone cant be fully one thing and fully another
It's perfectly logical
A statue can be fully marble and also fully statue
No part of it is not marble
No part of it is not a statue
100% of it it is 100% of both

Thus X can be fully Y and fully Z at the same time. There is nothing inherently illogical about it.
>>
>>523970637
How is that related to the trinity in any way but I'll answer since you seem to want to flip the script on me without realizing that your example fails. If you simply open the Quran then you'll see there's no creation going on by the spirit, only a messenger to carry the spirit of Jesus to Mary.

˹There is˺ also ˹the example of˺ Mary, the daughter of ’Imrân, who guarded her chastity, so We breathed into her ˹womb˺ through Our angel ˹Gabriel˺. She testified to the words of her Lord and His Scriptures, and was one of the ˹sincerely˺ devout. 66:12

Secondly just because someone creates life doesn't mean they themselves created life or are God. It is just the one God that did it and they were the vehicle for creation. For example Moses made the staff into snake. Is Moses now god?
>>
>>523968991
christianity is an intellectual religion, not spiritual. Thats why monks have been debating for centuries on all of those things. Its just circlejerk of retards playing logical games with words. Since some things dont make logical sense, thats the otherworldly aspect of it. If it made complete sense it would be too terrenal, too scientific. White men brains dont change with society. Men like Aquinas would may be building rockets or computers, but back then thats where the big brains were.
You will never make sense of it thats why it requires faith. Faith in illogical thought processes. Basically a huge trust me bro. You choose to believe this, because the alternative scares you

so allah used a partner? and moses did none of that. god the father did, the you say is silly.
so, do you have 2 creators, or is the holy spirit 1 with your allah?
either way, allah committed shirk on himself.
see the problem if allah is "1". there's no way around it.
>>
>>523970739
so the eternal Word, as you believe that Jesus is the Word made flesh, did not exist before 0 AD?
"Before Abraham was, I Am" (Jn 8:58).
He uses a godname here from "I Am who I Am...tell the sons of Israel, 'I Am has sent me to you'" (Ex 3:14).
>>
>>523970739
This is where the ancient Israelites had the advantage

Their priests could commune directly to God because those that failed, died. It was an incredible feat they managed.

what about christians who roll around the floor and speak in tongues. is that logical or spiritual?

>>523970948
I just told you that it wasn't a partner just a messenger carrying the spirit. The spirit did zero creating.

>>523968991
It was explained to me like this:
A person is a body and a soul
A statue is a body with no soul (though some have SOVL)
God is a singular being with three essences, like souls.
If one were in physical reality and dwelling in a human body, He would be embodied but no less divine for that. To fully take on the human experience, He would have to live entirely in the mundane world, but that does not change His spirit.

It's confusing. That explained it well enough to me. It also helps I was a big HP Lovecraft fan. Lovecraft basically took the supernatural and made it fit into a materialist worldview. Kind of an anti Christianity

>>
>>523970291
Christianity CAN be approached Rationally. Like I said, almost all of the new testament is completely rational, logical and can be explained. The only leap of faith is A Leap Of Faith.
Christ's teachings are logically sound. There's no bullshit in them.
I don't see how believing One God the Father, the Creator, Jesus the Half God son, and the Holy Spirit the will of God and God working through you is heretical and was swept to the side to the illogical, non-personhood, God is an essence belief of a Godhead.
>>
it's all fruity make believe nonsense
>>
>>523970966
The written word, a source of "truth" makes it non spiritual. It completely sends it to intellectual domain, along with every other science and philosophy known to man. Religion was always symbolic and mostly about feel not thinking. Symbolism went way down under christianity, because its idol worship, and it all became just words, nothing to percieve beyond it
>>
>>523971046
It is /x/ but it's mostly gnostics, christianity haters, some satanists and unironic trannies
>>
The final word is that it's Dogma.

A is the first letter. B is the second. C is the third.

These three are one. We build up from there.


Now, I see the basic longing behind this thread. How can I become one with God, my heart is lonely. That's what all the pain and complaint is. The Father must stand alone, but I wish he was in me.

Jesus is quite a lucky fellow

>>523970532
No it doesn't. I believe there is only one God. That he is the only deity.
>>
>>523971104

you can't answer the question? is the spirit one with allah then, as in a duality?
or do you have 2 different creators?(remember allah is nowhere in that verse).
see how easy this is?

I used to be a christian, I even had a personal encounter with Jesus. When the covid 19 vaccine came God showed me it was the mark of the beast. I started to drift away from God and eventually I recieved the mark of the beast/vaccine without taking it. The last word the Holy Spirit yelled to me was "SHEDDING". So you can get marked/vaxxed without taking the vaccine, just hug a couple of vaxxies and get their shedding into your system and you will be HELLBOUND like me.

we is multiple, as in gibreel, Jesus, and allah.

so is the creator gibreel a separate creator, or is he one with allah?

thats how you understand consequence.

>There’s a trinity in every model of mysticism around the world
I don't give a shit about the rest of the world. The rest of the world is wrong, and the Christians are right. I don't care about this "three trianagles make a single triangle" hippy dippy shit.
The new testament is logical and makes sense. But this seemingly non-bibilcally based belief in a Godhead that a bunch of Romans declared is the truth in 325-328, and later 350 something is now the only truth and the logical God is the father, he had a son, the son works for the father, and the Holy Spirit is the Will of God, so its not so much apart from God and more his divine power working through you and talking to you being heresy that only the Unitarians believe makes no sense.
And the Unitarians are weird. They believe ONLY in Soul Sleep. Half their churches are Universalist, so they let Jews and Muslims and Buddhists in and think liberal shit like "Hurr everyone is right"

And then even the name Unitarism sucks too.

Angels and demons are higher dimensional entities. As in 6+ dimensional. When they appear, you're seeing a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of their being in the same way a sentient 2D circle would perceive you if you got down on its level. It would lose its mind in fear and confusion. We're 3d and +1 for time which we can only perceive but not interact with, Angels are 6+ and God is all of them. Consequently the description of Their triune nature is probably the best illustration language is capable of in describing something that is wholly and completely outside the reach of comprehension, science, much less the scope of description. When you encounter "contradictions" in the Bible/theology, or just processing it in general, you have to keep in mind that you're using cross-dimensional technology and as with all tech, it's going to be inherently limited by the user's level of comprehension or in this case, fundamental dimensional limits

We here doesn't mean multiple it means singular. Sometimes people here even say we when talking about themselves. Are they also a plurality? Quran isn't in English so maybe it is hard for you to understand. The Quran explicitly rejects the trinity

The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was but a messenger of Allah and His word which He directed to Mary and a soul [created at a command] from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers. And do not say, "Three"; desist - it is better for you. Indeed, Allah is but one God. Exalted is He above having a son. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs. 4:171

OP is probably a well-poisoning jew and/or bot

In all its lengthy replies it has only produced two short lines of greentext and they were just fairly pointless half quotes of anons that it bloviated about
That is a pattern very common among kike posters
kikes think goyim are cattle thus kikes inherently cannot project a theory of mind onto us, which is necessary for most greentext because greentext is almost always an abstraction of what the reader is thinking with a reflexive relationship to the greentext itself (funniest /pol/ greentexts often start with "be me" etc")

As a result, kike posting style often ends up being a lecture format with basically zero greentext. Any greentext is just mimicry

It also completely avoided my post when I challenged it on an error it made despite clearly having no problem wasting hours and bloviating on and on over just half of someone's sentence.
It's a kike and thus it inherently believes it can never be wrong in front of a goy, so it just ignores my post.

In summary, OP is definitely a well-poisoning jew

The same way a crazy destructive person you would say is chaos in the flesh, chaos given form.

God is always fully divine.

God IS an intangible essence. Do you know the whole nature and form of God?
>You're making God a formless being
No, we’re referencing His known forms and taking His word for it when He says this is who I say I am.
>who takes shapes who is lacking in true personhood.
God has three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In this relationship He’s fully completely and not lacking anything. He doesn’t even need YOU or ME.

Then you don’t know the whole character of God as has been revealed to us

Well if you believe in the God of an Abraham you know that Jesus referenced the “faith of Abraham” as a requirement for salvation, because Abraham foresaw the Messiah.

>and shaped man out of dirt shaped into a form that resembled himself.
God formed us in his image, not in his likeness. But you are right there are some things we don’t know. Many his spiritual form directly emulates the body as the scriptures suggest His church does. Either way it’s a silly thing to worry about and a stumbling block. It’s like worrying about what Jesus looked like.
>And that when people just get that feeling and do God's will without LITERALLY talking to him and hearing his voice, thats the Holy Spirit.
Yes, of course. Who said the Holy Spirit is always some airy fairy voice? Most of the time our relationship with God comes from reading the scripture and listening to it, that IS God talking to us.
>And that until 0AD Jesus did not exist.
That’s false and lowers the value of Jesus immensely.
>BUT because every word out of his mouth is the Will of God and his knowledge comes from God, that Jesus is essentially the Word made flesh.
There’s no “but”, unless you think people only exist in one plane. We all have spiritual bodies and Jesus is no different in having come down to this plane.

The concept of trinity comes far earlier than jewstianity
What it boils down is that we as humans have 3 states, one where we are mortals beings aka the son, the "young" unlearned being, coming to this world to experience it as it is
one where we are the father, after our death, we're no longer "dumb", we uncovered the mystery of life and death, we've ascended
And the last, our spirit, which is our conscience, seeking the truth, which has the ability the communicate between the "father" and the "son"
It's sort of like the tang from Evangelion, you can access it if you inquire enough, some great people in the past have done it, the so called alchemists, it's the bridge between our world and the next one, a wormhole in time and space between ourselves
Living in unity with the trinity means being complete with yourself

The Trinity is a Helenistic philosophical idea and pagan belief. Not a Biblical teaching. We know this because of the definitions used to describe it: Essence, substance, nature, homoousios, and persons is all Greek metaphysical terms originating in Helenistic Philosophy going back to Plato and Aristotle. The word hypostatic union comes from hypostasis. It is a philosophical idea from Helenistic Greek Philosophy. The Trinity can only be supported with pagan doctrine. These terms and beliefs are not found in the Bible but in Plato, Aristotle, and Pythagoras. The Trinity can be traced back through old triad gods, Greek Philosophy, and Hindu avatarism.

The definitions of the Trinity itself: Essence, substance, nature, homoousios, persons, hypostatic union are from Plato, Aristotle, and Pythagoras all taught these centuries before Jesus was born. Just trace "hypostatic union" on Wikipedia. It goes straight back to Plato, Aristotle and Neoplatonism.

Think about this: If I started using word like "Means of Labor," "bourgeoisie," "proletariat," "Base and superstructure" and called myself a Libertarian you'd all cry foul and accuse me of being a Marxist and Communist. Why? Because all my terminology used to describe "Libertarian" ideology is all Marxist in nature. You would all call me a fraud.

Why not with the Trinty? That's where the entire definition of the Trinity comes from. None of the terminologies, definitions, and understanding of the Trinity comes from the Bible. It all comes from Greek Philosophy, Stoicism, Hindus, and Pagans.

Jew Jesus try to steal Roman slaves. Jew Jesus told to some one else's slaves, that they are free, and you have to follow me... to pick up my cotton now, because my daddy is almighty. So Romans when they caught him, they put kike on the cross for stealing Romans property. ...and kike didn't give up to the last minute he was screaming like a nigger: I didn't do nothing.. I am dying for all your sins, so that you know that stealing is wrong.
A lots of people get impressed and confused. So another Jew apostle Paul, used this opportunity and lucked up all Divine spark seekers in the church under Jewish professional God lovers, authority. and they burn heretics a life in a public place. So horrified mothers start teach their kids to fear the God. Religion was so troublesome, so Jews went to Africa and provide pick up cotton service to American slave owners. It was first Uber for niggers from Africa to America on the ships.

The Father is a loving God, but there has to be something besides Himself to direct His love towards to. Thus the Son came to be, begotten from Him. Now there is a target to love, His own Son. And the Holy Spirit reflects the love they share for each other. This is why God is trinitarian in nature.

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

This verse is known as the Johannine Comma. This text is not found in any of the early Greek or the best Latin manuscripts of the Bible. It is spurious. It was added, no doubt, to try to support the Trinity. Most modern translations, both Catholic and Protestant, do not include these words in the main body of the text.(RS, NE, TEV, JB, NAB also leave out the Trinitarian passage.)

This is a SPURIOUS TEXT, or non-existent text not found in any of the oldest manuscripts. Anyone that presents this text to you is a liar and a fiend.

The correct translation of this verse is:

>1John5:7 - 7For there are three witness bearers, 8the spirit and the water and the blood, and the three are in agreement.

See? This is the problem with you Trinitarianism. You don't understand Bible translation, Bible history, Biblical linguistics. If you did, you wouldn't believe in the Trinity at all.

It can be shocking to admit that God has everything He needs in Father, Son and Holy Spirit but it is also most comforting. Within this completed framework, they went outside of it to CHOOSE to save you. They would have done it if it was for JUST you. Our choice is, to either recieve this love or reject it. We have a very unique opportunity to be included in something where we previously felt meaningless, but have been told we are so important that we are considered children. The sad thing is that even knowing all this human beings are still prone to unbelief and doubt. We must remind ourselves that God is good and life is full of illusions to distract us from that fact. We must always be grateful but we must also celebrate because we were chosen. We were CHOSEN.

Further, when Moses tried to imply he was the source of the power of God he was actually stuck on the other side of the river where he could see the Promised Land. Moses was a full human being and no saint. He was originally a murderer who looked both ways and then hid the body. Moses had some character flaws but he was also extremely faithful most of the time. He just had patience issues and was human and prone to taking credit for God’s work. Even David slipped up and tried to carry the Ark of the Covenant without proper process. They were all humans trying their best. The fact we remember them is because they learned and grew from their experiences. That’s where many of us differ. We circle the vortex and do not shine in our blessing. That is because the devil is determined and we are under great threat. Not because we are not important to God.

The Father, Son and Holy Spirit form a hypostatic trinity which is God. This sounds paradoxical as it's asserted that they are three persons yet one, understanding how this is possible and what is meant by flesh and spirit is important. It's similar to the doctrine of two truths from buddhism. There's a youtube channel which will guide you to this understanding here: https://www.youtube.com/c/SimplyAlwaysAwake
It's about zen but doesn't preclude the Christian understanding of things. I'm not aware of a good channel on Christian Mysticism, but there's book recs here: >>523973241

Collectively, the bun, the patty and the salad are the burger but all 3 are distinct from each other and, individually, none are the burger. Once eaten you are partly burger and the burger is within you. Even after your next poop, the burger energy / spirit is within and powering your thoughts and movements.

Jesus is the key, OP.

Firstly, there would be no human being alive, ever, who would be worthy of saying they have reconcilled us with God almighty - the Lord Himself had to do it, and is worthy, forever. Secondly, no human would ever be a good enough offering up to God in this way; "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one" (Romans 3:10), the Lord had to do it, for us. Thirdly, look for examples when Jesus says things like "but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here", at the resurrection of Lazarus for example, the Lord is demonstrating that He does and says these things for us, for an example to follow, and we needed a man who is God, to set that example, and lead: "Follow me" Jesus often says.

All glory, honour, power and might to God, in Jesus perfect, matchless name. amen.

Trinity is ridiculous pagan nonsense they came up with because pagans couldn't imagine just a single God so they chose 3 as the minimum. Which is why Christianity is different from a purely monotheist religion like Islam. I assume that they didn't need to add gods to make Arabs believe in it. They might had a different take on it than the Greek and Romans.

The lord your god is ineffable according to Jesus’ canon, that means it’s paradoxical as well.

There are two gods in the Bible, the personal, exoteric one, the byproduct of the sheep projecting themselves onto the ineffable, Temu god. And then there is the ineffable, impersonal God that is actually absolute and it’s expressed through the esoteric body of the religion.

Most christians worship the first one

Man was made separated from God. His body was not in communion with the rest of the divine body. So he was instructed how to conduct himself.

But he did not follow instructions because he was made faulty. And for that he was exiled from the divine body.

Not only was man made outside God, but then he was cast away and told to act like the animal he is.

Later apparently the divinity felt bad about the decision and invented worshipping.

Here we are. The end.

Leta not forget how them being the same would COMPLETELY diminish the sacrifice of the son. Sacrificing oneself, knowing they can't die, knowing that the suffering would be temporary, has no where near the gravity as giving a son to the cause.... how many people would gladly give themselves over their child. Orthodox believe the father begets the son and the holy spirit, this is the only thing that makes sense to me.... how would the son sit on the right side of himself, how can he be the only way to the father if they're the same.... while verses like my father and I are one, is easy to explain as one in purpose, one in divinity, one in substance... I could make the same statement... I struggled with this forever as well, then saw orthodox believe much of my own drawn conclusions,the more you look into orthodoxy the more you see how heretical american Christianity is... it constantly widens the gate to heaven... once saved always saved- is an absolute joke, and would technically make salvation literally the easiest thing conceivable... salvation is a relationship, not a single event.

I respectfully disagree. And there is nothing impersonal about worshipping an blue eyes golden haired olive skinned semitic prophet creatively inspired by european painters.

You can disagree, but the fact is there is a personal and an impersonal deity, you can reconcile the personal one into the impersonal one, but not the other way around. Simple logic says there are two deities.

People can think whatever they want about the exoteric personal one. That it’s an alien that hijacked the proto dogma, that is an interdimensional being, or that’s simply a figure result of people projecting their humanity onto what they don’t understand and then worshipping the reflection. But there are two, and most are worshipping the exoteric personal deity. That, by all esoteric accounts, isn’t the “absolute God” represented in the trinity.

Proof that the Bible is the word of God:
fcbaptist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Bible-proof.pdf
https://truthischrist.com/seven/

1 Corin 15:3-4: “For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VRT2FFXntc

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."

Romans 3:23: “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”
Jesus Christ is God who has come in the flesh from heaven. He died as a sinless sacrifice for the sins of the whole world to save you from eternal hell, the punishment for your sin. He was buried, then resurrected and then ascended to heaven. John 3:16: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 10:28: "And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand." Rom 10:9: “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."
God wants to forgive you, but you have a choice: Do you choose the righteousness of God by receiving Christ? Your own righteousness can NEVER justify you or keep you saved because of your sin. Rom 5:9: “Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.” Salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, in His finished blood atonement. The gift of salvation can't be earned. Confess The Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in prayer, that you trust in Him and believe He atoned for your sins on the cross.

Eph. 2:8-9: “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”

were they though, or are you just presuming that, because it was illegal to believe otherwise? the more you read into christian history, the more you start to see it wasnt anywhere near as popular as they made it out to be. they had the backing of the jews, which meant they had the backing of the state, but the common man? not a chance. if your government today or your king said that he had a dream about a poo god with 6 arms who told him he was vishnu and the only god and now everyone was required to worship vishnu under penalty of death, would you drop what youre doing and put aside a thousand years of history and say guess i worship vishnu now? no, youd bicker and complain, a few of you might make a public display and be executed, and everyone else would keep their heads down wondering what the fuck. very few people would be like "we worship vishnu now"

and if you wouldnt do that, whats the next phase? would you say the words "jesus is my lord and savior" or prefer beheading? would you lie? well youre alive, so your ancestors either would, or theyd have lied, or would have been not so prestigious that they were lucky enough to avoid the jewish ultimatum.

this is a genuine predicament in abrahamism and became hotly debated among jewish adventures 3 - revenge of Mohammad scholars, and not to mention jews. you can die with your honor, but fail your gods, or you could shame yourself and live to fight another day. there is no perfect solution, and you probably wouldnt have been in any state to consider it anyway. but i am of the opinion if you can be made to dishonor your gods, you can be made to do anything, its just a question of what variables are necessary. which jews agree on, which is why they have gentiles themselves defile their own idols, rather than do it themselves.

Christianity is a Universalist Ideological movement.

One that rejects White European history calling it “demonic,” quite literally turned a sword against our White kin, divided and destroyed our common ancestral culture, and promoted the further destruction of our European race through their “all one race” under a jewish dude that’s been mia for over 2000 years— they call god.

Our differences are they we don’t worship jewish fairytales or worship a jewish god.

and yeah, hitler was a christian, that was the problem. it is why he lacked the mental resolve and the willpower to win. had a full on mental breakdown. the guy simply couldnt hang. too much residual christcuckery, he got jewpilled too late.

he had millions of jewish hostages. how easy would it have been to tell the brits or americans or russians: pull back your men or we start killing 1000 jews every hour until you do.
logically you might think theyd think "why would we care"? because if they continue, and you lose, youve divided the jews against one another. the guy had zero aptitude for strategy against jews. every single positive thing national socialists did is attributed to him, when the reality is he was the constant handicap, the person who kept fumbling the ball. HE RANSOMED A ROTHSCHILD FFS. like nigger whose side are you even on?

he was weak, and he couldnt do what was necessary in order to survive because of his residual christcuckery, he ended up killing himself in shame. he is not a man worth idolizing. youre better off idolizing the guy with the unibrow, or rosenberg who was well into CQ, or even the founding fathers, who warned christcucks not to do exactly what they did: privatize the money supply. no man is perfect, but its time to stop idolizing weakness, than in itself is anti-european.

The trinity is a concept that predates Christianity, it's based on metaphysical certainties that have been proven objectively. It might help to strip away the labels and think of it in terms of what each member of the trinity is supposed to actually be in essence. The Father is actually Truth, that is to say "all that is". The Son is Logic, which is the one and only pathway to Truth. And the Holy Spirit is Mind, which is what obeys Logic in order to apprehend Truth. The reason why Truth, Logic and Mind are all said to be one divinity is because the existence of Truth necessitates the existence of Logic, and Logic's existence necessitates Mind. The moment that one exists, all three must exist simultaneously. Or to put it another way, all three must exist before Time itself is even a concept, meaning there's no "before and after" where the trinity is concerned. All three exist infinitely far into the past and infinitely far into the future.

The Father as pure spirit and as pure act(no potential) has 2 acts, to know and to will(love), the word is the Son, and the will(love) is the Holy Spirit. You, as a spirit can have these 2 acts only aswell, to know and to will, that is why you are an image of God.

wrong
Christ is perfection, he represents perfect logic, his teachings are a monolith of order in a swirling sea of chaos

the confusion of his apostles over 2000 years doesn't refute the original scripture and getting lost in the weeds on definitions or explanations for the divine (example: transsubstantiation) is a good way to repulse potential followers and corrupt the true logic of his perfect word
>>
>>523987857
Yeah, that's another good way of looking at it. God is perfect Love, Logos is the perfect love of Love, and the Holy Spirit is the will and desire to love. It especially makes sense with the understanding that Truth and Love are necessarily identical in all cases.

>>523988288
just read or prompt chatGPT to explain what Thomas Aquinas wrote about it. Very logical and at the end you can see why is the Holy Trinity the only truth.
>>
>>523988288
I would say that logos is the word the Father has thought. Its His knowledge. Like when you think, you begotten the word. To know and To will are eternal acts the Father does.
>>
Father- Beyond any created quality. Incomprehensible. Pure. Motivating factor.
Son- The word spoken by the father to create the world. The law. Inhabits a human body. Gateway to the father.
Holy spirit- Proper flow between the creation and the father's will. Comforting. Guiding.

Logos is just a mediation tool christian theology uses to try and square a circle. Like i said before there are effectively two gods in the bible, the god of the exoteric layer and the god of the esoteric layer. Christian theology tried to “bridge” or rather merge both using greek metaphysics.

The same shit happens in other religions, there’s always an exoteric layer that births a personal god that the plebs or sheep can identify with and then there’s the esoteric layer that presents the impersonal, actually absolute God. In judaism for example you have YHWH/emanations as the exoteric god the sheep “interact with”, and ein soph as the esoteric absolutist principle that’s actually “God”. Islam has the exoteric allah and the esoteric al-haqq from sufism, in hinduism it’s nirguna vs saguna….etc

And all this “god is love” bs is just semantic elevation that the exoteric followers use to try and attribute absoluteness to their limited personal exoteric god. God is loving > god is love itself, god knows things > god is omniscient, god acts > god is pure act.

Logos is Nous, and Nous is pure intellect. Or the principle of reason itself. It's metaphysically necessary and foundational for all theology across every tradition. It's far more than just a symbol or a face. You're trying to liken Logos to the symbol "5", when in actuality Logos is the existence of numbers themselves.
>>
>>523988753
the idea that logos can be a mediator / human came from the kike philo of Alexandria, for heraclitus and the stoics, the logos was always an abstract order of the cosmos

everything about your filthy religion is influenced by kikes and the noble greeks. death to kikestians

>king dressing up as a poor man so he could walk around the city
>See I understand and get that. And to a very great extent I belive that is/was the purpose of Christ's first visit.

I have agreed with most of the sentiments in your post (that Christ is NOT God, but the individual Son of God, a man, who chose to obey God's perfect Will). But God gave us His only begotten Son to deliver us from sin. That was the only purpose of Christ's visit. God didn't need to send Christ to understand the perspective and plight of mankind. We were created in his image. He knows every hair on our head. He knows our plight because he's with us every waking moment. God is limitless and has no boundary of perspective.

Christ's purpose was to willingly die on the cross for our sins, and what's most beautiful about it is that Christ loved each and everyone one of us. He loved all mankind, and I don't think it was just the conceptual idea of all mankind, not abstractly, he actually loved all of us, in the past, in the future, now, and beyond now. And he gave his life for us, a man, in the flesh, willingly gave his life to deliver us from sin. That wouldn't bear much significance if it was just God operating on Earth. It had to be a man with free will who would choose to obey the perfect will of God every waking moment until his death. And that's exactly what Christ did. Amen.

>Are you there God, its me, you
A pastor prays out loud in order for the congregation to understand the correct attitude towards God and to align their desires to one that is to God's glory. Jesus could have, as he'd done many times previously, simply stated what was what without need for an intimate prayer between him and the Father. When is it a good time for an out loud prayer.
>When everybody has come together
>When somebody asks for prayer
>To express the connection between everyone in the group
Christ ultimately became the person in whose name we pray to the Father and I think it's partially because of the prayer in Gethsemane that he's regarded as the one who is there listening aside the Father. It would seem a lot of prayer culture comes from the way Jesus prayed and now we pray in his name as our path to the Father.

Oh yes God cannot incarnate because he is not actually God and you said so.

>>523968991
It's because Jesus was a mortal jew, a mystic and nothing more and the religion built around him was the most ingenious way to ensure his core message was lost in the chaff. He isn't the only way to God, and by through him he meant his way (literally follow his example), he's no more the son of God than any man and the jews cannot have you realise any of this. There is nothing standing between you and the divine other than yourself.

Got this conversation with a cool priest i knew before in chatequesis, and the way he watered it down was that that God is pretty much the king of existence, and Jesus the Messiah, current prince of all existance, and one day to take Gods place.
The holy ghost is messy because while its considerated an entity is also the will of God, which in that case is pretty much any agent or phenomena working directly under him. It can be anything, anyone, and even an aspect of himself or the angels themselves, but since it is complicated to try to distinguish every single apparition or action of the holy spirit everyone just crunched it down to the holy ghost is a single character period.
In a sense, its The King, The Prince, and the will of the King (whatever that might be at the time).
If it is confusing, its because after the message being spread, translated, adapted, expanded and shortened for over 2 milennia a group of things got turned into a single entity while also retaining the skills and perks of being a group of things, thus this was the equivalent of reading a book, and editing 3/4s of the characters in the book to Papadopoulos, but keep everything else about the characters that were supposed to be themselves there, then just use the excuse that they all had powers to change into different things anyways to make it make sense, thus making look several different entities that have a few things in common with a characteristic that makes them potentially indistinguishable from each other into a single character.
So yeah, if it sounds complicated its because it is. We can't even really accurately blame it on a general group of priests or random people because its pretty much making the same mistake again in another sense, and individually blame them is pretty much impossible since they all died centuries and its pointless to find them anyways.
All thats left its a pretty big confusing that got entrenched in reality, and trying to explain it feels more confusing.

That doesn’t solve the problem, the absolute has to be prior to reason otherwise it’s conditioned by rationality. If logos was identical with the absolute then the absolute would be rationally exhaustible, and every apophatic tradition denies that. Logos can be foundational for exoteric theology but it can’t be ultimate without collapsing ineffability, and “God” is ineffable.

Yeah, that's why Nous isn't the absolute. The One is the absolute, and Nous is its first emanation. The absolute exists first, Nous derives its existence from the absolute, and Nous acts as the pathway by which we rejoin the absolute. This is universal across every single philosophical and spiritual tradition in human history, from ancient Egyptian theology, to the Vedas, to Buddhism, to Christianity. So Nous is far more than a figurehead, a face or a symbol. It's a necessary metaphysical mechanic that's been observed independently across every human tradition.

I will explain the trinity for you in how personally I believe it should be interpreted.

God the Father: The source of everything, the Monad.
God the Son: flesh, living beings.
The Holy Spirit: the soul, thought and consciousness.

We are all the "children of God" because there is nothing outside of God. Our consciousness and capacity for thought come from our connection to God, we are essentially independently thinking fragments of the whole and our role is to learn, evolve and grow and then return to the source.
