The Trinity Defined and Refuted (Part 1 of 7)

Sean Finnegan describes and refutes the belief of three persons in one godhead including a systematic brief treatment of their co-equal, co-eternal, co-essential nature, and the hypostatic union. Do the Trinity make sense? Is the dogma biblical? Join this tour de force through early Church history and the relevant theological constructs of Christianity's most controversial doctrine.

@PreparetomeetthyGod

Present to me your statement of faith in light of the message I gave you. I am the Berean Jew of the 1st century & you are trying to convince me that you have the truth. You are PreparedtomeetthyGod, so who is your God that I should listen to you? Lets go....

@PreparetomeetthyGod

I didn't know you made this comment. Listen, I don't want you to debate a verse right now, I want you to get the idea that I am expressing to you. What I need from you is in light of all that I said, explain as in your own sermon, or an explanation of how explain to a Berean Jew that you believe in one God, but two names? If you had a website, in the statement of faith section tell me what God or gods do you follow?

@nilhav

The email has too many verses. Where do I start? When I first knew you, you were the best debater there is.

You debated one verse until it couldn't be exhausted any further. E.g Isa 7:14. Now you just bring numerous verses & say to read them? What about telling me which one to begin with?

Thanks!

@nilhav

Ok pose the question of the 2 names again.

@PreparetomeetthyGod

The elohim in Psa 45:7(6) is understood in various ways. You must understand that this is poetic writing here in Psalms. The verse could mean "your throne is from God" or it can mean "your throne, O judge (powerful)." The bottom line is that we know that the king here is not HaShem, poetic phrases in a song does not give exclusive right to believe the king is HaShem.

Are you trying to answer my question on the 2 names or what?
