1 | Should we rethink the Trinity? | John 10:30 | Saint N Says | 135517 | ||
That simply sounds like a pat answer. I think it reflects a Western approach to logic, that did not exist in that ancient Eastern culture. Maybe Jesus meant what He actually said, and not what we are comfortable with it meaning. I think the fact that they went from wanting to follow him to killing him indicates that he said something immensely offensive. I would conclude that unless we find what He said offensive we probably haven't understood Him yet. | ||||||
2 | Should we rethink the Trinity? | John 10:30 | Morant61 | 135551 | ||
Greetings! Is it a pat answer to look at what Scripture actually says? :-) You were basing your position on a perceived understanding of the phrase 'we are one'. I simply looked at how that phrase was used in John. The same phrase is used of the relationship between believers. Thus, it must not mean 'one and the same person'. I do agree that the Pharisees found Jesus' comments offensive. However, the doctrine of the Trinity fully accounts for that offense. Jesus was fully God and the Jews understood that His comments made Him equal to God. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
