The Meaning Of The Trinity

First off, what defines possible?

Second, can you see a Creator and His human character operating at once as Two(essentially becoming One?)

Third, if the Creator of all seen and unseen so wanted, He could become all (pantheism) or infuse many sons and daughters (polytheism) and argue that either scenario is still Monotheism.

Im speculating, but I still don't see your logic that 3 and 1 at the same time is impossible. With God ALL things are possible.

With God ALL things are possible.

I'd like to think that some people would take rejecting Jesus more seriously than you do.

As it is written:

“There is none righteous, no, not one;
There is none who understands;
There is none who seeks after God.

Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him when he saw that the city was given over to idols. Therefore he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and with the Gentile worshipers, and in the marketplace daily with those who happened to be there. Then certain Epicurean and Stoic philosophers encountered him. And some said, “What does this babbler want to say?”

Others said, “He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign gods,” because he preached to them Jesus and the resurrection.

And they took him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, “May we know what this new doctrine is of which you speak? For you are bringing some strange things to our ears. Therefore we want to know what these things mean.” For all the Athenians and the foreigners who were there spent their time in nothing else but either to tell or to hear some new thing.

Then Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus and said, “Men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are very religious; for as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription:

TO THE UNKNOWN GOD.

Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you: God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands.

Nor is He worshiped with men’s hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’ Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, (Or Leprechaun, or human tradition or Loki or some Hindu statue)something shaped by art and man’s devising.

Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.”

And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked, while others said, “We will hear you again on this matter.” So Paul departed from among them. However, some men joined him and believed, among them Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman named Damaris, and others with them.

The dusty old book explains itself quite well.

why must I listen to a character in a book?

Seems a bit obsessive to me.

You can't hold me to a standard that you don't believe to be real.

ou don't get that nobody does what they should, though some put on a show.

The other Jesus is the product of human authorship....whats the difference?

The dusty old book explains itself quite well.

48 The Jews answered him, “Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?” 49 Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me. 50 Yet I do not seek my own glory; there is One who seeks it, and he is the judge. 51 Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death.” 52 The Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon! Abraham died, as did the prophets, yet you say, ‘If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death.’ 53 Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died! Who do you make yourself out to be?” 54 Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God.’[a] 55 But you have not known him. I know him. If I were to say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and I keep his word. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day. He saw it and was glad.” 57 So the Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?” 58 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.” 59 So they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.

So if I wrote a story and narrated it to you on Audible, you would essentially be listening to voices in my head(and in my book)

Again I ask you what the difference is.

What good is it to have a stern commanding Jesus who tells us we must do the same as the rich young ruler...

As for Charlie Manson, he was either certifiably deranged or harboring demons.

You can't argue my argument borrowing my beliefs to do so when you in fact (as does Tangle) see only characters in a book.

You don't get that nobody does what they should....

The dusty old book explains itself quite well.

And you have the gall to suggest that only the message is important and that the messenger is little more than an envelope.

Your excuse has been that you are not a believer.

Essentially you only use the parts of the message that support Socialism...which you like.

The idea that you don't need to pay taxes to Caesar, perhaps?

The fact that nothing belongs to any of us anyway and is essentially communally shared?

The idea that the ravens (and liberal neighbors) will feed you and give you spare change?

Truly we differ.
