BassReeves:
Why did you bring and try to introduce it here then, if not because you craved undue leverage and mileage on the back of painting someone else as unsavoury

Undue leverage as how?

Even if the whole of nairaland gangs up on you, you can still hold your own.

Or is it Kingsnairaland that’ll make you crack eventually?

No make me laugh abeg.

I just find it ironic that a homosexual advocate is accusing me of doing the devil’s work.

OkCornel:


Of course, they are one type of being. Three of them are divine beings working in unity.

Now do you accept the Father is not the Son? The Son is not the Holy Spirit? And the Holy Spirit is not the Father?

Not they are one type of being

Accept they are one being.... Not one type of being

Just one being... One God.
One essence

Kingsnairaland:


Not they are one type of being

Then you’re telling me to accept that the Father is the Son, the Son is the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit is the Father.

That is modalism, and I reject it outrightly.

What is modalism.

Modalism, or Sabellianism, involves errors regarding the Trinity. The orthodox doctrine of the Trinity affirms that God is one in essence and three in Person. Modalism initially was taught by a bishop in the early church named Sabellius (ca. 215 AD). Modalism teaches that “only one God exists” and that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are different modes or manifestations of the one God.

Kingsnairaland, explain the difference between the trinity you preach, and the definition of modalism here.

now look at how God describes it

When God manifest as the Father he is totally different from the son in work been done

And totally different from the holy spirit in work been done

But God is still the same being doing both the fathers work and the son work and the Holy Spirit work

If you can not understand where they are different then you can't get it

Only different in work assignment but the same being the same essence is doing all the things

The doctrine of the Trinity means

that there is one God (one being) who eternally exists as three distinct Persons —

the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Simply stated, God is one in essence (one being) and three in person.

That is why you can see Jesus saying my spirit is willing

I and my father are one

If you see me you have seen the father

Paul say Jesus spirit be with you

The spirit of Jesus called the spirit of God

This all is pointing to one being

That why Jesus can say

Am in the Father the father is in me

That why Bible says Jesus is the invisible image of God

One being one essence

That is why you see the holy spirit saying that I myself have a work I want Paul and Barnabas to do separately

It the holy spirit work

Very good, now see below the dictionary definition of “distinct”.

Distinct;
recognisably different in nature from something else of a similar type.
"the patterns of spoken language are distinct from those of writing"

Since the trinity is made up of three distinct persons. Therefore, the Father is not the Son, the Son is not the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit is not the Father.

Anything that preaches otherwise is modalism. Simple.

Well unless you want to tell us that dictionary is from the devil too.

That why God the father can say they will call my son God with us

I don't care

What you must know is we are not worshiping three God that is blasphemy

But
One God one being

Admit that you don't understand how he networks differently yet remains one being

Kingsnairaland:

lol, now you don’t even care for the dictionary that explains the meaning of “distinct” in the trinity you claim to preach.

You are a modalist, and that’s clear to everyone on this thread.

Enjoy your heresy.

Edited: by the way, David committed blasphemy for having two Lords in Psalms 110 v 1, going by your logic. So keep it up.

Once you accept that he is one being then we move to how they are distinct

You now explain your own distinct nature which at the end you will find out it the same as my own

But the bone of contention is

Accept God is one being one essence

Kingsnairaland:

You, Bishopkingsley, Bassreeves and everyone on this thread are one being (Human beings!), yet you are all distinct!

God the Father, God the Son , God the Holy Spirit are also one being (Divine beings), yet they are also distinct!

If you can’t get this, then English is not the problem, your understanding is the problem.

Again, find the dictionary definition of “distinct” and consider it in your definition of trinity.

End of discussion!

Just tell us David blasphemed for having two Lords in Psalms 110 v 1 so we can all rest abeg.

I will explain to you what David saw once you can see that one God one being we worship

Kingsnairaland:

One God as per number? (Modalism)

Or one God as per three distinct persons in Unity? (Trinity)

OkCornel:

You are still finding it hard to believe he is one God
One essence
one being

inside this one God he has the ability to manifest as the father,, son,,, holy spirit

What this one being consist of is..
The Father
The son
The holy spirit

Same way what man consist of is
Body
Soul.
Spirit

Bros, my question is simple.

Is it one God in number? (Modalism) Or

Or one God as per three distinct beings working together in Unity? (Trinity)

Kingsnairaland:
I will explain to you what David saw once you can see that one God one being we worship

Please go ahead and explain what David saw.

But I’m very sure he didn’t see one person and called him Lord twice.

OkCornel:

You ask what does not make sense

Is man one number
When he posses
Body
Soul
Spirit

OkCornel:

I will once you see that we worship only one being

If you can separate your spirit and soul and body from making you one human being tell me

Kingsnairaland:

Is man one number

Body
Soul
Spirit

The problem with this is, a man possessing these three can never refer to himself in the plural using words like “we” , “us”, “them”

But the Elohim (plural of Eloi) used those words in Genesis 1 v 26.

It doesn’t apply. And that’s part of the reason I’m asking that question.

But if it’s too hard for you to answer. No problem!

Kingsnairaland:

Is your soul a distinct person? Is your spirit a distinct person? Is your body a distinct person?

I guess we need dictionary definition for PERSON, to drive home my point!

you are talking nonsense
We are the image of God

Stop lying to yourself

God looked at the mirror symbolically and created what he saw in the mirror
.
Jesus is express image of God

Bible shows we are one human being having three parts just like God

You only want to see where we are referred in plural that is madness

Because God already showed it to you yet you want to read plural nonsense

Get out

Because the evidence is in your face three dimensions both God and man

Yet one being

Dictionary meaning of Person;

Cambridge Dictionary;
a man, woman, or child:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/dictionary.cambridge.org/amp/english/person

Oxford Dictionary;
a human being regarded as an individual.
"the porter was the last person to see her prior to her disappearance"

Cognitive dissonance is just wonderful

What is man

Man is simply another god created by the main God

To rule the lower universe
