Like I said, you are seeing things my way a little bit!
Yes, I admit that the Bible appears and often times does treat them as the different and distinct and separate. Yet the end product is that they are not. You have to hear the conclusion of the whole matter.
Does the Trinity theory fully explain who God is? By it's own definition it doesn't.
I do however, remove the distinctions because I don't see them in the overall scope of the Bible.
I'd still like an answer to that question, but I won't wait for one. It is not answerable because the Bible clearly says Mary was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Yet the Father is supposed to be "not the HG".
Yes it's still ok in that it moves forward, but when the questions the theory brings up question the theory itself, the theory must be questioned.
My point was that if anyone in the Bible had said "Trinity" or said that these three are distinct, separate and not the same, I'd be on board. That is my only problem with the Trinity doctrine... Calling them distinct and separate.
Really, I don't see what the problem is. I refuse to call them separate or distinct! That's it! And nothing in your post has lead me to question that.
That's a bit innaccurate. it IS fully intended to, but it fails to do so. The Trinity doctrine admits it can't but intends to do so.
You have all but admitted it is just a theory. You said it doesn't fully explain God.
Theories have truth but not all truth until they are proven. As far as I can see, even the doctrine itself admits it's incomplete and doesn't have all the answers.
So my questions to you now are if I reject the Trinity, am I in danger of judgement on that issue? Is this something God has said I must believe or I'l be damned?
The doctrine itself admits it, and thus by it's own admittance makes it invalid.
It is only blasphemy against the Catholic Church, which ain't a real bad thing!
