Well..........you can call them what you want but at least they understand the problem....which is:
To support the idea of a three in one Godhead you must use terms not found in the Bible; You must rely on false scripture....based upon twisted interpretations that contradict extremely clear scriptures. Then....you have to create a convoluted theory that no one really understands....forcing its adherents to declare it a mystery!
Most ancient religions offered their own form of a multiple godhead and this influence was quickly picked up by the early church fathers (many of whom came out of paganism itself). Here's what the Catholic Church says about the situation:
"In Scripture there is as yet no single term by which the Three Divine Persons are denoted together…. The Vatican Council has explained the meaning to be attributed to the term mystery in theology. It lays down that a mystery is a truth which we are not merely incapable of discovering apart from Divine Revelation, but which, even when revealed, remains hidden by the veil of faith and enveloped, so to speak, by a kind of darkness" (Const., “De fide. cath.”, iv). (Joyce G.H. The Blessed Trinity. The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume XV Copyright © 1912 by Robert Appleton Company).
And...........
"In order to articulate the dogma of the Trinity, the Church had to develop its own terminology with the help of certain notions of philosophical origin: “substance,” “person,” or “hypostasis,” “relation” and so on." (Catechism of the Catholic Church. Imprimatur Potest +Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger. Doubleday, NY 1995, p. 74).
What does your church say about it?
“To support the idea of a three in one Godhead you must use terms not found in the Bible; You must rely on false scripture....”
This has been firmly refuted in my first post, clearly showing the existence of the Trinity within the scriptures. Whether one uses the word “Trinity” or not, doesn’t stop you from some basic reasoning. Now you say “false scripture,” are you saying those scriptures are wrong?
More importantly, if you are a member of his religious cult, and therefore you think that you are a Christian and we are not (you received the Holy Spirit from the laying on of hands from the UCG, which none of us have done), can you please defend your theology? I defined your positions (presumably, if you are not UCG, you’ll have to tell me what you are and I’ll get the appropriate documentation out...), can you please defend Polytheism in the Bible?
I look forward to your responses.
