right?
@SUPER GAMMING WARLORD MEGA MAN it is not considered polytheism because there is only one God as these two diagrams show
You could think of how a human has a mind, body and soul but is still one person
I see
I don't deny that the doctrine of the trinity can be confusing and strange in some ways.
But it is not as hard to conceive as one might imagine at first.
It's really no different than how a triangle can have 3 distinct sides but be only one triangle.
It even explains how the three components can be equal and yet the father is still higher than the son and holy spirit. All three points on a triangle are the same but one is above the other two
Father God is above the son and holy spirit hence jesus saying "I and the father are one" but also "the father is greater than I"
but isnt god all powerful?
Yes
God is all powerful
In Islam and Christianity
i dont believe that
You don't believe God is all powerful?
Do you believe in God at all?
if god is all powerfull why does he need jesus?
I'm not sure if we would say God "needs" Jesus per se
but god needed jesus to forgive us right?
therefore god didnt have the power to forgive us, and wasnt all powerfull
Oof
but jesus neede to go to earth and die, to forgive us for not following the ten commandments
Debunked
The usual Christian belief is that sin required some sort of atonement and Jesus provided that atonement
Basically
for some reason god cant just snap his fingers and forgive us
Cough cough
I agree with you it's not clear why God didn't just forgive us without the sacrafice of Jesus
but god lied
a paradox means its not true
It's not a paradox technically
And in what way did God lie?
yes it is, if im all powerfull, but i need someone else to do something, was i all powerfull?
Again nobody can say that God "needed" to do things that way, as in couldn't have chosen to do it another way
What we can say is he chose to do things in this way
exactly, since god isnt real
god is unknowable, so you cant know
I agree with you it's mysterious why Christs death on the cross was necessary or even if it was
But that's a different question then if God is real
