@ Tav: I know you withhold judgement. I also know you place an illogical prerequisite in the way. Convenient, if dishonest.
@ cake: what exactly did I rebut? you know a rebut has to counter an actual claim right? You made a baseless assertion which you refuse to backup. I'm assuming by now that your position is lost.
The Trinity isn't a contradiction at all. It's just something held by faith. Something entirely different. How is it contradictory? Your statements make no sense whatsoever. One entity = God. there are 3 personalities of the godhead.
If you looked into the exact translations you'd see that God isn't always masculine. So your assertion of maleness is ill founded.
That we cannot know for sure is biblical. I'm not saying anything new here.
I have failed to define God now have I? I don't know why I'm bothering to reply to you at all. All you do is doggedly avoid the question.
I have no God of the gaps understanding. Yes I can say I don't understand everything. that doesn't mean I dismiss anything or consider it beyond contemplation. Everything's up for critique.
As a Christian you never deduced the nature of God from biblical reference? I find that hard to believe. You blindly misunderstand the concept and have the nerve now to call me dismissive? well thankyou for sharing your deep thoughts on the subject. I'm sure such a thorough and enquiring mind will be a huge advantage in your understanding of the world. just be careful not to open your eyes to reality k?
Good luck with the shoelaces
