Yeah, I’m aware of that. Ya’ know, inaccuracies don’t bother me so much as the need to accept these things as factually true without examination.

I can accept the message of Jesus, and appreciate...

Very true. Indoctrination seems to be the norm.

Still, the suspension of critical thinking mystifies me. What is with a believe system that makes people fearful of questioning things?

A couple pretty good threads lately on the reality of the Bible.

They both beg the question - what is it about the “true believers” that allows them to suspend reality in their attempts to prove...

Yep. Blind Faith isn’t just an old rock group.

So, another apologist has no response.

I’m shocked! Shocked, I say!

One of the greats. Picked up where Duane left off and hardly missed a beat. Jessica is one of my all-time favorites.

I can’t fix your ignorance, pally boy, that’s something you have to live with. I can only suggest you (and RB) not put it on public display.

Just as I thought. Neither you or RB have a clue. Merely tossing out guesses and not very good ones.

You accused me of being a Reich member last week.

Fucking idiot. No wonder this forum laughs their ass off over you.

And exactly what test, do you suppose, one that would stand scientific scrutiny, would be used to state “beyond a reasonable scientific doubt” that a projectile fragment that could not be connected...

Yeah, Sheed lost me with his claim “God revealed to us”. Then, followed by word salad and hair-pulling diversions. He’s an apologist and tries quite poorly to do that.

Where in the OT is the mention of a Trinity?

WHOOSH!

No, it’s not “additional evidence”, whatever that means. Do you really believe that bullet fragments pulled from a victim has sufficient powder residues to determine whether it came from a Federal,...

Apparently, damn good ones!

No, I realize it’s one god, but three individual entities. That makes even less sense.

The analogy of a man being a husband, father and brother all at once was called modality. One god, three...

The sources I have seen is that section was not in the original transcript of John, but added much later. Maybe hundreds of years later. Plus, that’s the ONLY mention of the concept, found nowhere...

I read part of his explanation for a bit this morning. Mostly word salad. Where makes his first mistake by claiming ‘God has revealed himself to us as three entities’ or something of the such.

No....

So, I must have been mistaken that the Trinity does not exist in Christian doctrine.

I wonder where I ever heard “The Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost (Spirit)”. Is that a Muslim concept?...

I’ve already read and heard dissertations on the subject. I’ve not heard or read anything that would convince a rational mind on that bizarre concept. It wasn’t an OT concept and doesn’t really...

Perhaps, but neither Aquinas nor Aristotle were NT authors. Aristotle had no concept of Jesus, the Son.

So, my questions still stand.

WHOOSH!

The Trinity is not one god, three forms. It is 3 distinct entities. Aristotle was 3 centuries before the Christian god. And it’s not a philosophy, it’s a theology. It’s not an OT concept, either.

Now, how in the world did I know in advance this would be a Twitter rather than actual thoughts from the author?

This should be a good one for the Bible literalists to explain.

What is this Trinity thing? Is it polytheism or not? When did the NT authors come up with that concept and why? Wasn’t just a single...
