Where Did the Trinity Teaching Come From?

RE: Where Did the Trinity Teaching Come From?
(May 24, 2012 at 3:11 pm)ChadWooters Wrote: Thus for that brief time in history our Lord expressed himself through two natures: both visible (the image) and invisible (YHVH). In his flesh he shared an outward humanity, prone to pain, suffering, and despair, but inwardly he was divine which gave him the power to overcome. Those conflicting natures were resolved when he died on the cross. Glorification refers to the process whereby our Lord sheds his humanity and becomes fully divine. Thus it was the humanity that prayed, not a separate divine person, as he called on the love inside himself to triumph. This interpretation is further supported by the passage I quoted earlier:
ALTER2EGO -to- CHAD WOOTERS:
What am about to say to you is not meant disrespectfully. But I must be frank.

You are a perfect example of what happens when people are so desperate to hold onto false religious teachings that they are willing to revert to intellectual dishonesty, defy all logic, and present nonsensical philosophies. Nothing you've said in that entire monologue can be found anywhere in the Judeo-Christian Bible.

The idea that God died and resurrected himself is one of the idiocies I've heard from Trinitarians I've debated at several other websites. I usually try to reason with them for a little while, but I know from experience that it's a lost cause. Anyone willing to sacrifice their intellect to believe something as crazy and as impossible to explain as the Trinity is in a self-imposed intellectual prison.


And then some wonder why people don't want anything to do with organized religion. I stopped attending church for years after I got tired of hearing the type of things you are spouting here. And I was a mere child—a teenager—when I walked away from organized religion because of the nonsensical doctrines that were insulting my intelligence. I stayed on the outside for years until I was contacted by Jehovah's Witnesses who, thankfully, don't believe in the Trinity or hellfire, They showed me from the Bible that those teachings are in conflict with the scriptures. If it hadn't been for them, I don't know that I would have ever again returned to organized religion.


This will be my last exchange with you on this topic. It's clear that you have a love affair with the Trinity and you're not willing to be corrected by the scriptures. So I'm moving on.
