You're not a Trinitarian, so it's a waste of time arguing about something neither you nor I believe in. You can make a new thread for what you're arguing about.Then what is the purpose of your op? Trolling? I've just shown that the Trinitarian doctrine can't be supported scripturally, yet you ignore that and continue to troll. Were you baptized just in the name of Jesus or were you baptized in the name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit? So do you worship one entity or do you worship three?

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Yeah, especially since later on apostles disobey this order and baptize in another name Acts 10:48 So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked Peter to stay with them for a few days. Acts 19:5 On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Still, since actual Trinity is not defined in Bible theologians could have picked other three to be trinity, like Jesus, Peter and Paul and every time their names are mentioned together...
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Being baptized in the just the name of Yeshua was a Way cult ritual. In Christianity people are baptized in the name of the father, the son, and the holy spirit.

So Grand isn’t allowed to debate with other Christians who hold beliefs which differ from yours? Is he allowed to debate Muslims and Jewish folk, or would that be considered ‘trolling’ as well? Why don’t you take it up with your fellow Christians?

I love this answer from the billygraham.org site. It just shows that, no matter how SteveII tries desperately to make the Trinity logical by reducing "nature" in the context of the Trinity to mere abstract nature, that other Christians (likely more well-versed than he) accept that the Trinity is beyond human comprehension, and there's no way to make sense out of this.
Here's what they say (and note especially the final paragraph!!): Quote:The Bible shows very clearly that there is only one God, and yet that there are three personal distinctions in His complex nature, traditionally referred to as “three Persons in the Godhead”—God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. https://billygraham.org/answer/can-you-e...ity-to-me/ At least, they're being honest, whoever came up with that answer.

"Trinity" is catapult trajectory calculations born from a 2nd century clown named Tertullian. Theology is the brain child of theologians whom don't know the difference between the dative or genitive case, they do not know Greek pronouns. They do not know the aorist tense or middle voice. They call the middle-passive voice 'deponent' which then becomes an opinion. They also invent stuff like 'the dative of means' to change the meaning of words. They also invented aktionsart to explain anarthrous through the opinion of qualitati which is also ridiculous. Because they are illiterate in Greek language thinking skills, they just made stuff up as they went. They blame it all on their invented "Holy Spirit" through which, they cannot lie being the appointed clergy "filled with the Spirit" even though, the pastor down the street, whom they disagree with, says the same thing about themselves and the idiot down the street. Please remember Sir that the Roman Catholic Church was a dominant political power even through the De Medici family which produced four popes. They could not be questioned without the threat of death! So, the bible to you is the Wizard in the sky with a magic book! So you are arguing rightfully with theology with it's Wizard in the sky with a magic book! I do not question this behavior or why you do it. I do the same thing! Which is why I am banned from Christian Forums. So, you atheists get to argue against the truly stupid and burn the candle at both ends. The reason you can do this is because of the bold faced lie of "Christianity"! The bible never established "Christianity": the truly stupid did that with their bag of tricks! Which tricks are taught in seminary school from parrots to parrots to teach more parrots! "Bad breath" only comes from leftist liberal humanistic democrats. All I can say is, "Would you like a tic-tac?"

I discovered a new vitamin that fights cancer. I call it ...B9 I also invented a diet pill. It works great but had to quit taking it because of the side effects. Turns out my penis is larger and my hair grew back. And whoa! If you think my hair is nice! When does size truly matter? When it's TOO big! I'm currently working on a new pill I call "Destenze". However...now my shoes don't fit. RE: The Trinity Doctrine: Help me out, Christians
