The Trinity and all of its supporting doctrines are all circular in reasoning

[FreeInChrist]

Yes, I know the verses very well but it still doesn't make my husband and I ONE human being! Yes, one in purpose and united in marriage but still two individual human beings, a male and a female.

He is my head - his head is Christ - Christ head is God - Which 'who' or 'what' is this 'God' who is the head of Christ? I didn't see this answered.

Similar to the Godhead? If I am one in purpose with my husband yet we are still two individual human beings then wouldn't that also be applicable to the Godhead? We would have God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit one in purpose yet three individual, separate and distinct, beings which seems to me to equal 3 gods.

Yeah, ehad (pronounced ekh-awd) means 1) the ONE (number); 2) each, every; 3) a certain; 4) an (indefinite article); 5) only, once, once for all; 6) one . . another, the one....the other, one after another, one by one; 7) first; 8) eleven (in combination, eleventh (ordinal) Although this is not mentioned in the cefinition for ehad I knew it would need to be addressed ------ It can mean one COLLECTIVELY as in one herd, one cluster of grapes, one body [heis - numeral one; one body(of Christ with many members).

I simply cannot explain it to you.

You have to believe to understand.

3 times in scriptures they mentioned the single flesh which does not discount your husband as being your head at all, any more then YHWH our Holy Father being the head over Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit. But I see the divinity there. I just simply can not explain it .... it is a matter of my faith.

How can I explain this better.

You and your husband each have certain rolls in your marriage. But you were bound together under God. Your flesh is not the same but God sees you as one. It is a spiritual oneness . To say you are one flesh with your husband rather refers to a deep, spiritual bond between you that emphasizes unity and emotional connection and intimacy that God intends for married couples far beyond physical ties.

And this is exactly how I see the Trinity.... in a bond so intricately woven that will never part.

If you do not want to believe in the Trinity, fine.

What do I have to believe to understand? If you can't understand you own faith then how do you expect anyone to understand?

I understand the verses regarding a husband and wife becoming one flesh, working together in purpose and being united in that purpose yet they remain two human beings. I understand that God set up a hierarchy so to speak; the man is the head of the wife, Christ is the head of man and God is the head of Christ ------ I said nothing about discounting anything --- I simply asked a question you could not answer. It's really easy - the head of Christ, the Messiah is Yahweh, aka God.

Yes, intimacy, sexual intimacy between a husband and wife is really what unites them as one flesh yet they remain two separate and distinct individual human beings.

Or do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For it is written, "The two shall become one flesh." But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one Spirit with him [For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body---Jews or Greeks, slave or free---and all were made to drink of one Spirit. 1 Cor. 12:13] Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
