Zone1 Do you believe in the doctrine of the Trinity?

[RetiredGySgt]

Jesus repeatedly admonished his followers that he was NOT his Father and that everything he did was because his Father allowed it.

 

[Hafar1014]

There is no hell.

The doctrine of the Trinity is a central Christian belief that God is one in being and essence yet exists as three distinct Persons: the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit. This doctrine asserts that there is one God who eternally exists as three coeternal, consubstantial (sharing the same divine essence or nature), and distinct Persons. Each Person is fully God, possessing all the attributes of divinity, yet there is only one God. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are not parts of God, nor are they merely modes or forms of a single person; rather, each Person is fully God, and the divine essence is not divided but shared equally among them.

Yes, I believe that. Co-equal in majesty. Co-equal in glory. How this is possible I have no idea. The closest I can come to understanding it is Love cannot exist by itself. Love must be shared.

It simply makes no sense and God should make sense. Its either 1 or 3 not both.

It only needs to make sense to God.

How can an invisible sky father ever make sense? I don't think making sense is part of the bargain.

How can an invisible sky fairy ever make sense? I don't think that's part of the bargain.

Belief in god makes as much sense as non belief.

The sky has a father? Who would have thought!?!

God is dynamic Creator; vital Word; vigorous Spirit. As his children, we can measure oneself. How dynamic are my creations? How vital is my speech? How vigorous is the spirit within me?

For those of you who think the sky is your creator/father, do you look into yourself measuring how spacious you are? How silent? How still?

I wouldn't believe in a sky father either. Good thing my perception of God is little more intellectual than that.
