What’s your definition of the Trinity?

Break the word down:

"Tri" = 3 (as in 3 persons)

"nity" = short for "unity" [these 3 are united as ONE]

What's REALLY funny 1010 is that Mormons talk ALL THE TIME about God in the singular! [Including MUCH of their "scriptures"]

You would think that since they make a HUGE DEAL about being anti-Trinitarian that they would emphasize the plurality of their gods much more than they do.

But they don't.

Why? (1) would chase off many potential proselytes; (2) not very good PR/image.

And so they purposely live in that tension... promoting plural gods when it's convenient to militate against the Trinity; and promoting a single God when it's convenient to "sound" Christian!

My Trinitarian blessing for you, 1010: May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you... (2 Cor. 13:14)

Thanks for your kind blessing and the same to you. Now do you believe that the “oneness” is in purpose and perfection/completeness or are they a single being? I don’t find that the single being jives with the Bible. Christ ascended with a physical body to heaven, so heaven must be a place where you can have a body. Plus, we have the testimony of the martyr Saint Stephen, the creation story in Genesis, the expectation of the Resurrection when we get bodies, which we don’t lose, etc. It doesn’t make sense unless God has a body and, if he has a body, do Trintarians think it is Jesus’ body they’re all residing in?
