Bible Note: The verse that Rob brought up is not that hard at all to fit into a Trinitarian understanding. It was absolutely essential for our sakes that Jesus Christ be in a situation where the Father was greater than Him. See my response to Rob for a fuller explanation. You wrote: 'Now from other Scriptures He uses the word "three" and "one" so if He really meant "three in one" God then wouldn't He have said so? Jesus said "greater works you will do" so we can do greater works than God? Obviously no.' Well, if we switch verbs like you just did, we could easily destroy the Trinity. Jesus said, "Greater works you WILL do." You changed it to mean that the apostles CAN do greater works than Jesus CAN do. To say that the apostles will do greater works does not mean in the slightest that Jesus couldn't do comparable works. Obviously we are not more CAPABLE than Jesus Christ. "Do you know of one time where Jesus said somebody was stupid because they didn't believe what he said?" No, he said that they were children of Satan, blind guides who make others twice the children of hell that they are, whitewashed tombs, hypocrites, lovers of the praise of men, not His sheep, and doomed for destruction. But I don't think that He went so far as to use the word "stupid." You wrote: "I have experienced this here on this forum and when it happens I bow out because I know I'm not going to change someone's mind who is so convinced." Well, especially when we are convinced by Scriptural truth... You wrote: 'Even top Trinitarian scholars say "no one understands the Trinity, you have to take it on faith."' No they don't! Very weak Trinitarian scholars tell people to take it on faith. Top Trinitarian scholars open the Bible and demonstrate that the whole counsel of God teaches the very doctrines you deny (to your peril). That is why the Arianism you promote here was condemned as heresy 1700 years ago. --Joe! |
