The Trinity Explained
|
Wow, I thought I had seen every Mister Deity episode, but I believe I missed that one. What's sad about that episode, is that's actually pretty accurate to what Christians believe.
I like the way you think!
...But please stop thinking, it's not you.
o_o I just became more confused o_o
funny.. but is it really that confusing?
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

Let's ask Arian.
Quote:Arianism is the theological teaching attributed to Arius (ca. AD 250–336), a Christian presbyter from Alexandria, Egypt, concerning the relationship of the entities of the Trinity ('God the Father', 'God the Son' and 'God the Holy Spirit') and the precise nature of the Son of God. Deemed a heretic by the First Council of Nicaea of 325, Arius was later exonerated in 335 at the First Synod of Tyre,[1] and then pronounced a heretic again after his death at the First Council of Constantinople of 381.[2] The Roman Emperors Constantius II (337–361) and Valens (364–378) were Arians or Semi-Arians. The Arian concept of Christ is that the Son of God did not always exist, but was created by—and is therefore distinct from and inferior to—God the Father.[3] Courtesy Wiki (September 19, 2010 at 11:00 pm)tackattack Wrote: funny.. but is it really that confusing?I was a Christian for the first 11 years of my life, and I never got (and still don't) how God sacrificing himself to himself to save us from a design flaw he originally put in was somehow "loving" and "merciful". Also, I don't think it's much of a sacrifice if after you die, you get to be a all-powerful superbeing. Just saying...
I must've missed that episode as well. I love how Jesse/Jesus is always trying to find a loophole to get out of being sacrificed.

I like videos with lots of convoluted talking. It makes me feel smart when I get it.
