Trinity and evolution are not discoveries, but inventions—one by ‘theologians,’ one by ‘scientists.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The two labels are in quotes because true theologians and true scientists are not supposed to be inventors—their expositions must always come from and revert back to truth and facts, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– – –<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 – – – The trinity as described does not flow from the simple truth (the actual words) of the Bible. And the wordy explanations of the trinity get farther and farther removed from the simple Bible verses about the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just a few examples that make the point, the confusion:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“coeternal”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“coequal”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“consubstantial”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“hypostases”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“substance”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“essence”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“nature”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“___ is ___”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“___ is not ___”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“persons”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“trinity in unity”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“explain trinity, lose your mind—deny trinity, lose your soul”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Big WHOA! on that last one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– – – <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I make a clear distinction between<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(A) the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit in the Bible, and<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(B) the trinity in theological writings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The two simply do not match, they do not equate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2 – – – Evolution does not flow from the fossil record or anything ever discovered, as scientific advancements continually confirm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And every contribution to defending and promoting evolution gets farther away from science (more like depending on philosophy and religion to prop it up)—requiring adding imaginary millions of years, and then billions of years, in desperation, to make room for evolution to be possible and then claim it as a fact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speculating complex scientific events millions of years ago is so absurd, that real scientists should run from any connection with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– – –<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We forget those basic foundations (truth and facts) in these two professions, and for 1700 years of the trinity and 160 years of evolution, people have endorsed wholescale what one person in each area proposed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And now, nobody can let go of the two concepts (trinity and evolution), because such mammoth ideological structures have been built on their accepted validity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The monolith of trinity keeps ‘theologians’ in control because they have to keep ‘explaining’ the trinity and pushing it on people, to make them avoid simple understanding of God’s Word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The monolith of evolution keeps ‘scientists’ and educators and philosophers in control because they have to keep ‘explaining’ evolution and pushing it on people, to make them avoid simple accountability to God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note (I checked the internet on ‘the trinity’):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“When was the trinity introduced”—31,000,000 responses<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Explain the trinity”—38,000,000 responses<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The trinity”—358,000,000 responses<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That looks to me like a colossal disaster—waste of time, for starters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It makes a whole lot more sense to spend time reading the Bible—and just skip the mountain of confusing, attempted explanations of the manmade term ‘trinity,’ which does absolutely nothing to ‘explain God’ (an oxymoron itself) or bring us closer to Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trinity has become sacred, untouchable—a highly decorated three-sided box for God—an idol itself—worshipped in its ‘high place’ (like the high places of idol worship in the Old Testament).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– – –<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just read your Bible—it’s not nearly so confusing—it clearly tells you how to relate to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit—and it tells you God created everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just go with that !<\/p>\n\n\n\n
