1 | Holy Spirit, holy spirit, or both? | 1 Corinthians | Reformer Joe | 49534 | ||
"Thank you! You just wrote the finest argrument against the theology of the Trinity. My belief is that there 1 God, who is Holy and who is Spirit and had a son, Jesus Christ, and at varying times put His spirit either upon man or in man to do His will. If Jesus Christ looked to God then he is not equal to God therefore he is not God. By your own post you have made Jesus Christ not equal to God. There goes the trinity!" Nice try, but no cigar. The second Person of the Trinity submitting to the first Person of the Trinity does not mean that they are not both one God. There is relationship within the Godhead. No Trinitarian is going to deny that, but readily and forcefully affirm it. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit never have acted independently of one another, and they have always had differing roles within the Godhead. Your oversimplification based on one verse does not sweep the Trinitarian doctrine out the door, sorry. You wrote: "But if you belive in Jesus Christ (which I think you do), then we are brothers." Which Jesus Christ are you talking about? The archangel Michael? The spirit brother of Lucifer? The Jewish "ascended master"? The failed political revolutionary? The virgin-born prophet of Islam? The guru who spent his "lost years" in India? Or very God of very God, the second Person of the Trinity who became flesh to die for the sins of His people? Simply saying, "I believe in Jesus Christ" is not enough. We have to believe in the Jesus Christ who actually exists. If you deny the deity of Christ, then we are not brothers. --Joe! P.S. You still have not responded to my earlier post which clearly shows that there is no "Holy Spirit"/"holy spirit" disctinction. Do you just ignore things which do not harmonize with your pre-conceived views? |
