The Trinity Doctrine: Help me out, Christians
#35
RE: The Trinity Doctrine: Help me out, Christians
From the Nicene Creed, which all mainstream Christians are to believe in if they want to avoid being called heretics.

Quote:We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
one in Being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation,
he came down from heaven:

As you can see, it clearly says Jesus is God. So SteveII saying my description of the Trinity is wrong because I said such things as the Son is fully the one God, is not supported by the Nicene Creed itself. If SteveII himself does not follow that Creed, that doesn't change the fact that most other Christians do, and it doesn't mean that my description in the OP is wrong.

As for RR, I forgot to say that nowhere in the equation is there any symbol reference for Person vs. Being. If you (RR) agree with the description in the OP (which you said earlier was a fair description), then the equation fairly represents the description in the OP. If the Father is fully God, the Son is fully God, the Holy Spirit is fully God, then the logical conclusion should follow that they are all equal to each other. Yet, this is not the case. So a logical contradiction occurs.

Furthermore, another consequence of the Trinity doctrine is that each of the Persons of God is God himself, but God is neither of the Persons, and this is also logically problematic. For if a = b, then b must = a. Yet, in this case, a = b, but b not = a.
