The Triune God.

[MoreCoffee]

The doctrine of the Trinity is no mystery though the reality it seeks to describe is.

 

[MennoSota]

Indeed God does not see his being or persons as mysterious, though we with finite minds struggle to comprehend. Perhaps the first attribute of God is his solitude.

[MennoSota]

The difference is great between the knowledge of God which His saints have in this life and that which they shall have in heaven; yet, as the former should not be undervalued because it is imperfect, so the latter is not to be magnified above its reality. True, the Scripture declares that we shall see "face to face" and "know" even as we are known (1 Cor. 13:12), but to infer from this that we shall then know God as fully as He knows us, is to be misled by the mere sound of words, and to disregard that restriction of the same which the subject necessarily requires. There is a vast difference between the saints being glorified and their being made divine. In their glorified state, Christians will still be finite creatures, and therefore, never able to fully comprehend the infinite God.

God is Trinity in Unity and Unity in Trinity. There is no solitude in him. Just as there is no darkness in him. He is light.

You're entirely wrong in regards to God's solitude. As a being, uncreated and eternal, there is nothing that can fully grasp God. God is in no need of others to fulfill him. He created because he chose to create, not because he had need.
God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit is one being and three persons. God is apart from and unlike any other. This is what is meant by the solitude of God. But, you would have known this had you opened the link I provided. Instead it seems you jumped to an opinion based upon ignorance about what I was saying. It happens to us all.

Try again. What I wrote in the first quote makes no reference to creation. God is not alone, knows no solitude because God is Trinity in Unity. God is never alone.

Again, you have a small view of God.
Read the article I posted and then respond. Until then you are merely being ignorant of God's solitude.

I'll pass on the pseudotheology you're peddling.

LOL, you're choice is to remain ignorant in regard to the attributes of God. That's your choice, but it is far away from pseudotheology.

I read AW Pink's books long ago. They were bad when I read them. They are still bad now.

 

[MennoSota]

I read AW Pink's books long ago. They were bad when I read them. They are still bad now.

LOL, that's because Pink has a big God who doesn't need our help, while you have a little God who needs you to chart your own course to salvation.
I like actual theology, based on scripture, rather than the drivel coming out of the RC.

 

[Andrew]

I recommend "Now are ye the Sons of God" by D.G. Hanscomb, its a quick read and straight to the point on the argument of Trinity with biblical fact.

You are very immature for a "scholar" of any sorts

Pat Sajak for the WIN!

For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Jude 1:4

Has anyone seen Shutter Island? At the end the doctor tries to convince Andrew that his friend made it perfectly clear when he said "it has always been about you and Laeddis, thats all its ever been about" as meaning they are the same. Andrew however is convinced that he means "...you AND Laeddis...."
Andrew IS Laeddis... spoiler alert btw

derp

So if God is made up by three persons.
And persons means human or man, and mans number is 6 because of the day he was made, then just to be fair the three person trinity could be symbolized as 666, that way you dont have to draw up a triangle and write names in circles you could just use 666..
or is that not clear enough?
Or is 666 taken already?
