No wonder the Muslims complain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am so weary of words upon words upon words to ‘explain the trinity’—dozens of terms and phrases make my brain glaze over again and again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why this compulsion to explain their explanations of their one mysterious, created word—instead of focusing on the actual words of the Bible about God? So many of those verses are so simple, they defy adding to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Consider how beautifully the passages tell us about the Father—and tell us about the Son—and tell us about the Holy Spirit—and tell us about their relationship—and tell us about their relationship with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Bible simply does not emphasize anything even close to the trinity like the theologians do !—not anything even close !<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A dead giveaway is how theologians focus on quotes from past theologians, revered almost above the Bible—shown in the percentage of words in any given teaching time<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why can’t someone spend that time reading the Bible verses first, and take time just marveling and reveling in their beauty, that will bless anyone regardless of their extra-Biblical education?<\/p>\n\n\n\n – – –<\/p>\n\n\n\n If we are inundated with man’s words explaining God more that God’s Word explaining God, where does that leave us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n (From THE TRINITY—FABRICATION—WHY? July 3, 2019 – “Theological wording surrounding the word ‘trinity’ creates a parallel universe that hardly remotely resembles what is actually in the Bible.”)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" +trinity +one-in-three +three-in-one +essence +co-equal +co-eternal +Father is God +Son is God +Holy Spirit is God +Father is not the Son +Son is not the Holy Spirit +Holy Spirit is not the Father +consubstantial +nature +substance +hypostasis +persons +explain trinity, lose your mind +deny trinity, lose your soul +’explain the trinity’—38 million attempts on the […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,2,7,13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5294","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-educational","category-faith_based","category-inspire_lifter","category-time"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.awordforthought.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5294"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.awordforthought.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.awordforthought.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.awordforthought.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.awordforthought.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5294"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/www.awordforthought.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5294\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5299,"href":"http:\/\/www.awordforthought.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5294\/revisions\/5299"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.awordforthought.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5294"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.awordforthought.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5294"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.awordforthought.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5294"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
