I am a Christian and have the deepest respect for God's inspired Word, the Judeo-Christian Bible. I invite fellow Christians to participate in the questions for discussion. Two of the most basic teachings in Christendom are as follows:
Who told you it was the inspired word of some god and why did you believe them?
Quote:1. THE TRINITY
The teaching that God is split up into three individual persons that are combined into one "Godhead" (Father, Son, and holy ghost/holy spirit). All three of these persons are said to be CO-EQUAL (meaning they have the same power) and CO-ETERNAL (meaning they have always existed at the same time and none of them can die).
Sorry but very prosaic here. The Greeks held a person was composed of body, mind, soul and spirit. Take away the body and you have mind, soul and (holy) spirit. It is such a simple thing one has to wonder how Christians make such a big deal of it.
