Why was it neccessary for Mary to remain a virgin after the birth of Jesus? Is there something inherently less-than-Godly in becoming one flesh with a lawful spouse, i.e. sexuality is detrimental to righteousness?
There are LOTS of examples showing how ridiculous and unscriptural the doctrine of a "God in the flesh" Messiah is. This is just one brief example among the many that could have been chosen. I invite you to read through my New Testament commentary proofs AGAINST the Trinity to find more.
Mt 12:32
32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. Parallel passages Mark 3:28-30 Luke 12:10
Mark 3:28-30 - 28 Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: 29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation: 30 Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.
Luke 12:10 - 10 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven. If Yahshua and YHVH (God) are one in the same, why is speaking against Yahshua (Son of man) something for which one can be forgiven but speaking against the Holy Spirit (God, since "God is a Spirit" - John 4:24) never forgivable?
This is yet another case of a clear distinction shown between the "son of man" (Yahshua) and God. The weakness of the Trinity argument once again is exposed since, by saying Yahshua is God Christian pastors would have us believe that if we blaspheme God it is forgivable, but if we blaspheme God it is not forgivable. (DUH?!?!) Yes. Rememeber, Christian and counterfeit Messianic leaders say Yahshua IS God; therefore, the contradiction in the sentence you just read IS what they are attemping to have you accept! You read the sentence correctly, and the apparent mistake in the sentence is actually one of numerous illustrations that highlights the problems of the Trinity position. The sentence is as senseless as any doctrine that promotes Yahshua is God. Like all such doctrines, the sentence defies common sense.
What child would understand a parent saying, "If you talk back to me you are not going to get a spanking, but if you talk back to me you are going to get a spanking." (DUH?!?!) I think such odd parental instruction, if it became the norm, could result in a somewhat confused child. Similarly, most Christians have become somewhat confused children from listening to their Trinitarian theologian parents' twisted attempts to prove the doctrine that Messiah is God using "mystery", word games (ie. Hebrew - "echad" and "Elohim") and other similarly desperate means that all defy basic common sense and clear meaning of Scripture. The result is a "child" (Christians and/or counterfeit Messianics) that has lost the ability to discern and understand simple, direct, common sense verses of Scripture.
The Trinitarians may try to explain away this glaring contradiction in their argument by somehow trying to show how the different aspects of the Son and the Father's divine nature allows this. Well, would they please show me how we can blaspheme any aspect of YHVH? Do they have Scripture that permits us to blaspheme YHVH at all? Absurd. The Trinity argument, when placed along side Scripture, is shown to be absurd.
Harsh as it may sound, time after time the Trinity is shown to be an amazing effort at futility and an unsurpassed example of a lack of BASIC common sense; however, the most remarkable aspect of it is that so many people accept it, despite that fact they have a Bible, which if they truly read, proves the Trinity to be a false teaching!
Wow. How do you reconcile the early Church teaching the Trinity as a doctrine? Perhaps it was because the Bible wasn't yet formally placed into canons that they forgot to read the thing.
NWU! You are going to get me in BIG trouble with my family's finance committee (namely, my wife)!
Now what am I gonna do? Have you disproven anything else I should know about?
I'm believer in the Messiah, a man sent by God his people to redeem. I believe with all my heart "Hear O' Israel, the Lord our God is ONE".
If you'd like to read a book that may prove helpful to you in understanding why I and a few more have left the idolatrous "Mother of all Harlots" Catholic Religion (Where wide is the road that leads to destruction) please read either one of these books written by Anthony F. Buzzard and Tom Harpur.
1) The Doctrine of the Trinity, Christianity's Self-Inflicted Wound by Anthony F. Buzzarrd and Charles F. Hunting.
2) For Christ's Sake by Tom Harpur.
Both of these should help you tremendously.
Thank you for your suggestions. Hope you don't mind mine. May Yeshua bless.
