One of the most puzzling questions for me regarding christianity is why the doctrine of Trinity was accepted into mainstream christian beliefs.. even more puzzling is how some people accept it, without a problem, as a core article of faith. Beliefs should at least be internally consistent. The assertion that three separate entities exist as one unique entity clearly contradicts the law of identity, and thus should be ruled out
This is one of my favorite videos about christianity. W.L. Craig, probably the most famous christian apologist alive, compares the trinitarian God to .... the mythological three-headed Dog!!! Didn't he notice that each head is a damn head.. not a dog?? In contrast, the Father, the Son, the Father are each clearly equivalent to dogs.......
Am I missing something, or is trinitarian belief a very basic logical mistake ...?
I do dismiss it outright. However, the trinitarian justification that the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are three persons in one essence. They aren’t descriptions of aspects of God, but are all names for God.
Go figure.
