A Personal Reflection on the Trinity and Salvation

I wasn't asking you if you buy it or not. I was telling you how it is.

Here's a little homework assignment for you to prove my point. Find even one reference to God being a they or them and maybe your assertions will have some credibility. Good luck.

Would you accept an "Us" and "Our"? Genesis 1:26 and Genesis 11:7

No, of course you wouldn't because destroys your whole argument.

Next fallacy.

You're reviling Jesus Christ by turning him into an idol. I am sure he is appalled and will judge you for it. Jesus Christ taught that the only true God is the Father,.

Let's see now. Jesus' own disciples worshiped Him, the two Mary's worshiped Him. Mat.28:9; the blind man worshiped Him John 9:38; the wise men worshiped Him; one of the ten lepers worshiped Him; Thomas worshiped Him; in fact every created thing which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea and the four living creatures, and the twenty-four elders and millions upon millions of angels WORSHIPED HIM - and yet you say WE are turning him into an idol!?

What folly! The truth is that YOU are denying Him what is rightfully His - worship and praise, and glory and honor and power and dominion and blessing!!!

And Jesus and God are One. "I and the Father are one" is found in John 10:30. This statement by Jesus is a key declaration of his unity with God

The Same God, different Persons. This is where both Unitarians and Oneness error.

The Same God, different Persons. This is where both Unitarians and Oneness error.

Right I can see that, Unitarianism and Oneness theology are distinct but both reject the Christian doctrine of the Trinity. Unitarianism typically sees God as one person and Jesus as a human Messiah who was granted divine attributes, but not as a co-equal, co-eternal, distinct person of God.

Oneness theology, a form of modalism, goes further by viewing Jesus as the single person of God who appeared in different "modes" or "roles" as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, an error from a trinitarian perspective because it denies the distinct personhood of the Son.
