Explaining Christianity: The Trinity

http://www.godvsthebible.com

The Trinity is the compromise made in a committee. The Council of Nicaea wrestled with how to reconcile the OT god with the NT god and this was the best they could do.

This guy pulled the "intercessor" refference in the old tesatament out of think air. The actual quote was "...no other gods". It doesn't say anything about an intercessor. Job, the oldest book in the bible says, My intercessor is my friend as my eyes pour out tears to God; on behalf of a man he pleads with God as one pleads for a friend. (Job 16:20-21)

@IndianaJesusfreak Two things I'd like to know: (1) what translation are you using and (2) even accepting your translation as correct, what do you think distinguishes a divine intercessor who can forgive sins with another god who stands between mortals and Yahweh?

@DeistPaladin

can you just explain to me what happened to your trinity when jesus died on the cross as you claim? how you say that Jesus and God are one then you say God does not die.... Then you say Jesus died. daz that mean that the half of your God died or what? if jesus died then he is not aGod coz the God dazn't die. and if he is a God then how can ur God die? he can't forgive u without sucrifying himself?

I just wonder how you can convince urselves of such contradictions. explain

Deist Paladin, since the enemy of my enemy is my friend, as an atheist I've 5-starred all your videos - and subscribed! Keep up the good work! :-)

Another video aaron? You need to get out more, and leave this kind of debate to grownups.

All your videos are an epic fail.

Neoplatonism: Chairness: Rocking, Recliner, Table = 3 chairs Godness: Father, Son, Holy Spirit = 3 gods

Theology: ie Nicaea Greed(325ce), Basil of Caesarea(329-79ce) & Gregory of Nyssa God as three persons of one substance.

Philosophy vs. Theology, Faith vs. Reason!

@oregonsheepherder H20 is one compound made of two elements, no matter in which state... but these analogies are just my personal two cents, don't confuse them with theology! Father, Son and Spirit are three distinct substances of one essence...

[oregonsheepherder]

@zragisha

Each one of you’re analogies to the Trinity contain three distinct elements, ie H2O is solid, liquid and gas, three distinct states. Therefore God is father, son, holy spirit is three distinct beings. Per your analogies your God of the Trinity is not monotheist.

Ah so Irenaeus, Theophilus, Valentinus, Ptolemy, and Tertullian did not teach the Trinity in reality because their writings were forged by parties at the Council of Nicaea? Impressive!

[pandirasbox]

Really? No intercessor? So what were Moses, the Elders, Aaron, and the Destroying Angel?

[pandirasbox]

Really? Romans would not accept new religions? Are you so sure? Mithraism was a new religion in the first century and so were many others.

[pandirasbox]

Trinity is originally Gnostic "professor"

[pandirasbox]

Where did you read that Marcionites were popular at that time?

@Wordavee1 Constantine was not officially a Christian until he was on his deathbed actually. He had a lot of trouble deciding between Arianism and Christianity. In fact, after the Council of Nicaea, he planned to have convene another council in order to try and overturn the decision but Arius died before the council could take place and Constantine saw this as a sign from God that the first council was correct. His sons didn't agree though, and after he died, they began persecutions again.
