ALTER2EGO -to- LITTLE NIPPER:Baptizing in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Holy, Holy, Holy!
The pagans believed in seperate and unequal gods. Each city felt its own diety was stronger then the rest.
The trinity is the only doctrine among other religions that promotes the ideology that GOD is the united sum of three individual beings. And that together they constitute one GOD or GODHEAD. Together they are ONE in all measure.
Then what is the importance of the Trinity? It seems a moot issue. If a person is worshiping one, then he/she is worshiping all, and vice versa. Most lessons of scripture, whether I get them or not, at least appear to have some sort of overall value, whereas the concept of the Trinity appears to have no value. There doesn't seem to be anything to be derived, learned, or gained from believing in it. It seems at best an unimportant concept, that is, if I am a Christian, do I burn in hell for worshiping one God and not acknowledging the Trinity? It would appear not, so what is the point?
The importance of the Trinity is that God took on a human form, was born and lived a human existance. Then at the perfect time this God/man became sin so that man is no longer under the curse of separation from God ----- IF a man will acknowledge his sin and accept Christ as Lord, seeking forgivness. God saved man HIMSELF and did not send some creature He created to carry out such a horrific task. God, in fact, actually walked in our shoes for a moment in history. However, being God in the flesh, he did so with perfection and was not tempted of satan. Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. I also believe that Christ will remain in His glorified human form for all eternity. He is now the illustrated prototype of what all saved humans will become someday.
Please prove what you're claiming from the Judeo-Christian Bible, which is God's inspired word. All you've done in the above post is presented your personal philosophy aka your opinion/speculations.
BTW: Matthew 28:19 (which you alluded to above in your first post) is simply the listing of three entities and says nothing about them being combined into a single god. That's like someone stating the names of the two former U.S. President Bushes and their son and brother, respectively, Jeb Bush, as follows:
(1) George H. Bush, Sr., (2) George W. Bush, Jr. (3) Jeb Bush.
Are you telling this forum that those three men in the Bush family are combined into a single person simply because their names are listed off together? You will have to do better than that.
Present two or three scriptural quotations from the Judeo Christian Bible that are your best examples of "trinity". I will then direct you to the context of the verses you have decided on.
