On the Matter of the Trinity and Our Lord's Divinity
On the Matter of the Trinity and Our Lord's Divinity
Do you believe God is a Council of three separate Beings acting as 1, or is God truly 1?
More specifically, are you a Polytheist disguised as a monotheist, or are you a true monotheist.
3 separate Beings acting as 1? 1 true Being? Or are you a shame based Christian as well?
I see you refuse to answer simple questions and think you have some shibboleth at your disposal to put an end to all matters regarding the plain facts of Scripture that within the
one Being (essence) that is
God, there exists eternally three coequal and coeternal
persons (subsistences), namely, the
Father, the
Son, and the
Holy Spirit. Not three Gods, but one God.
Stop being coy and get on with whatever you agenda is. Do you agree with the following...
Our Lord Jesus Christ was fully God and fully man in an indissoluble union whereby the second subsistence of the Trinity
assumed a human nature that cannot be
separated,
divided,
mixed, or
confused. One can best understand this
mystical union (together united in one distinguishable
subsistence)
by examining what it is not, thus from the process of elimination determine what it must be.
The mystical union of the divine and human natures of Our Lord is not:
1. a denial that our Lord was truly God (
Ebionites, Elkasites, Arians);
2. a dissimilar or different substance (
anomoios) with the Father (
semi-Arianism);
3. a denial that our Lord had a genuine human soul (
Apollinarians);
4. a denial of a distinct subsistence in the Trinity (
Dynamic Monarchianism);
5. God acting merely in the forms of the Son and Spirit (
Modalistic Monarchianism/Sabellianism/United Pentecostal Church);
6. a mixture or change when the two natures were united (
Eutychianism/Monophysitism);
7. two distinct subsistences (often called
persons) (
Nestorianism);
8. a denial of the true humanity of Christ (
docetism);
9. a view that God the Son laid aside all or some of His divine attributes (
kenoticism);
10. a view that there was a communication of the attributes between the divine and human natures (
Lutheranism, with respect to the Lord's Supper); and
11. a view that our Lord existed independently as a human before God entered His body (
Adoptionism).
You have plenty here to respond
directly to now, versus playing word games and
Whack-A-Mole.
Which of the above eleven statements do you affirm or deny? Speak plainly, let your nay be nay, and your yea be yea.
