“Dividing the Essence?” Forbidden by the Athanasian Creed.

[1689Dave]

I did in post #18. Take another look.

I asked: "Is each person of the Trinity God? God is omnipresent. That means the Trinity is everywhere present. How can you divide that?" You still have not grappled with that. Only now trying to interpret the creed according to your level of understanding.

I'm just proving you do not understand God or the Trinity He consists of.

In post #16 you wrote the above.
So, your most recent reply is just sidestepping isn't it.

Nit-picking the creed does not address my claim. No song and dance here.

the creed does not address my claim.

What claim?

 

[1689Dave]

What claim?

Does the creed teach God's indivisibility and omnipresence after you read it and think about what it is saying? I see it clearly.

The Athanasian Creed teaches that there is one God, one uncreated, one eternal, one almighty and so forth; this is that which is specifically presented as indivisible. It is Tradition that speaks of omnipresence, omnipotence, and omniscience as the incommunicable attributes of God; meaning that no creature can have these attributes because they are infinities belonging only and exclusively to God.

Great! Annnnnnnd? The Trinity is God?

If that is answered, you will define "Trinity" any way that appeals to you, but not as the Creed does.

And you will proclaim yourself infallible, as always.

That being the case, a discussion is impossible. We have the Creed that the great majority of Christians though the ages have affirmed...and you have 'Dave's better idea.' And that's all there is to this.
