The Trinity is True.

Maybe you are confused but I do not believe that there are three Gods. I believe that there is one God with 3 facets. You are confusing me with the Mormon Church. Water can come in many forms, liquid, ice, and water vapor. But they are part of the same thing, water. This is my belief. I do not believe that there are three Gods. I believe in the opposite, one god with 3 facets. Let us continue on with the argument. First let us affirm one thing we have in common. 1.God is infinite and personal unity-in-diversity. This God is love; He creates out of complete free and gracious generosity because He is complete in Himself, not needing His creation to be anything or to express anything. This is the sublime orthodox Christian understanding of God. This God is revealed in creation, through His dealings with human beings in history, and through the Incarnation. This is where I disagree with my opponent. My opponent believes in this flawed view of god. He thinks that Adam who died In Genesis without any big funeral, is god. I believe in a different view: There is one personal God whose unique nature it is to be each and all of the following: self-existent; eternal; infinite; omnipresent; omnipotent; omniscient; immutable. This one God is eternally three divine Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, co-equal, co-eternal, and consubstantial. This God is the Creator of all that is and is, therefore, each and all of the following in relation to Creation: Lifegiver, Sustainer; King; Lawgiver; Judge; Redeemer; Sanctifier.The acts of God in Creation and Redemption are the work of the Holy Trinity. Creation " Genesis 1: 1, 2, 26 cp. Isaiah 44: 24; Colossians 1: 15, 16 Redemption " Note God"s progressive revelation in Isaiah: Israel"s plight highlights the need of all mankind for cleansing from sin " Chap 1 God"s majestic holiness contrasted with man"s smallness and unholiness - Chap 6 God promises to send help by means of a special child, 7: 14; a ruler, 9: 6, 7; a shoot from Jesse, 11: 10, 11; an anointed servant, 42: 1-4 Finally God announces that He alone is the Savior and the Redeemer Chap 43-49 Of course my opponent would object. I will anticipate that by providing some expected rebuttals and answers. 1.The doctrine of the Trinity is illogical; unreasonable. It makes no sense; 1+1+1=3 not 1. Even the Catholic Church calls it "a mystery." The Trinity doctrine transcends reason and logic. It is not opposed to reason and logic. God is not a math problem, but even so, 1+1+1=3 but 1x1x1=1! Rejecting the Trinity makes nonsense of part of the Bible. A Unitarian view of God is not more "logical." When the Church says the doctrine of the Trinity is a mystery, the Church is not saying that we don"t know anything about it! The Church is saying that it is something we could not ever have come up with on our own, by human reason; it is something that we only know because God has revealed it. 2. The Trinity is a pagan concept as demonstrated by the pagan triads of gods, like the Egyptian triad of Osiris, Isis and Horus. Something is not untrue just because a pagan believes it. But pagan triads of gods are not anything like the Christian concept of the Triune God. The pagan triads were part of a pantheon of many gods. If pagan concepts are demonic deceptions, belief in the triads argues for the Trinity, because the demons would be trying to deceive humans by imitation of the truth (1Cor.10:20). If the pagan concepts are mere human intuition, belief in the triads argues for the Trinity. 3.The word "Trinity" is not in the Bible. The doctrine cannot be stated without using extra-biblical terminology. The doctrine was formulated using Greek philosophical terminology therefore it originates in Greek philosophy. It is not wrong to use extra-biblical terminology; the word "Bible" is not in the Bible. Cults which deny the Trinity use extra-biblical terminology. The word "Trinity" not being in the Bible does not make the doctrine unbiblical; the concept is in the Bible and can be stated without using extra-biblical terminology. Early Christians used Greek terms to communicate their faith to the educated people of their day. The early Church Fathers denied that they received their doctrines from Greek philosophers. The Arians and other heretics used the same terminology.
